Chapter 1: Reunite
A girl with blonde green hair and purple eyes stared blankly up at the ceiling.... She could remember a time when things where better... When things just felt right... But they didn't feel right any more.. no not any more, it all felt wrong. She used to live in a place called Sandover with her friends... Friends like Jak, Keira, Daxter, and Talon. But the place she was now.. The future... Her home that she had loved so much, where she had gone swimming in the ocean and ran around on the beach with her friends was now called Dead Town... The structures where crumbling and the once sparkling waters where murky and bleak, most of the soft sand had sunk below the water of waste and that which remained above land looked just as foreboding as the water and the falling buildings. And now instead of the happy and friendly people who had once lived there, the place was infested with what few metal heads that could survive there. Discussing creatures really, but the gems in there foreheads... Now those were worth something well at least for those who were brave enough to actually kill one of them to get the gem.
But her friends.... She hadn't seen any of them in over 2 years.... You see what happened was, a few years back Talon disappeared, about a year and a half later, Daxter got turned in to an Ottsel, it was actually quite funny, so him and Jak went all the way to the far north to find a man named Gol to change him back, but as if turned out, Gol was the one trying to kill them and everyone else along with his sister, Maia, with dark eco. Jak was able to defeat Gol and Maia and they ended up dieing in the very dark eco silo they were trying to open to 'reshape the world' the very thing they thought would protect them ended up being their unraveling. After that they found a large warp gate, but when we activated it a swarm of metal heads came through the opening, Jak hit another button that flung us into the warp hole... And well it's getting close to 3 years since we were flung through that hole into the future.... They say the futures all ways brighter, well I haven't seen anything brighter about this future. In fact it looks rather hopeless if you ask me, one of the only save places now is a place called Haven City it's right next to Dead town and is surrounded by large walls and an eco grid, it used to be ruled by a guy call Baron Praxis, but he was killed, so now his daughter Ashlein is in charge and the underground that was all for bringing the Baron down is no more...
I really didn't know all that much about the movement or the Baron for that matter, I just caught bits and pieces of what was going on, but I know that the former 2nd in command of the underground is now the Krimzon Guard captain, and they are starting to rebuild the city. As for my friends though... I still don't know what happened to them, as for Talon, since she wasn't there when we went through the wrap gate I doubt she's even here, she's probably still in the past.. Lucky her.
The girl sighed and got to her feet, and pulled a rifle out of the strap on her back, she had been laying in Samos's old hut in Dead Town, now she was going to have to shot her way back to Haven City, she never used to be like this; before she never would have been able to face metal heads on her own. She admitted she was still a little afraid, but in this place you couldn't be afraid, if you did there was no way you would ever make it off of the ruins.
Looking both ways before she exited the old hut she took the safety off the rifle and began to make a quick decent to the Haven City entrance. She was glade that there was only one metal head that she found on her was down and that it was one of the weaker ones, so she gladly added it's skull gem to the assortment of other things like precursor orbs and 2 power cells in her bags along with a few other skull gems. Once making it safely into the city again, she put her rifle away and started to roam the streets, there was suppose to be a race today, so she decided to head to the track and check it out, for lack of anything better to do.
"Klia." A voice said from behind her as she lend up against the railing at the track people watching waiting for the race to beginning.
"Hum?" She questioned turning around to meet Ashlein, the tough, red haired, new leader of Haven City. She was one of the few friends Klia had made while she had been here, yeah that's right the late Baron's daughter.
"Have you heard anything about this silver eco rumor?"
"Silver eco?!?" Klia questioned a little shocked at the idea, "no I haven't heard anything about it. Why? I mean it's just a rumor... right?"
"I guess... But still it has to make you wonder.."
"Yeah.. I guess." Klia replied resting her chin in the palm of her hand, "Who's racing today?" She asked changing the subject.
"A lot of rookies no one important, except maybe Jak, he's won all the races so far this year." Ashlein replied shifting her weight to the other foot.
Just then the race started, Klia watched the drives race around the track on their zoomers, the fans going wild cheering for their favorite racers, as they came into the final stretch, something caught Klia eye.
"Who built that zoomer?" She asked Ashlein with out ever looking at her.
"A mechanic named Keira," Ashlein replied folding her arms across her chest.
Klia spun around, "Did you just say Keira?" She asked excitement in her eyes.
Ashlein raised an eyebrow, "Yeaaaaah."
"Where is her garage?" Klia prodded more.
"In the 7th garage on the left, top side. Why?" Ashlein asked curious as to why her friend was so excited.
"Ok thanks!" She said taking off with out answering Ashlein's last question.
Ashlein was about to say something else, but decided against it and shook her head, turning back to the race, just in time to see Jak cross the finish line.
Klia walked through the rows of garages until she reached the one she was looking for, the 7th on the left, topside. Entering it, she saw a woman's figure working on an engine that looked like it had over heated one to many times.
"Keira?" She questioned getting closer.
"Hold on a second, I'm almost done here." She replied still deep in her work. After a moment, she put her hands on her hips and smiled with satisfactory, "That should do the trick." She then turned her gaze to the person who had called her name.
"O, my.... Klia?!? It that you? Where have you been?" She asked going over to her old friend.
"Here and there." Klia replied waving her hand in the air.
"It's great to see you! Wait till Jak and Daxter get in here! They'll be glad to see you too!"
Klia smiled, she was so glad to see them, she thought she would never see then ever again. They talked for a while longer about this and that, and what they had been doing the past few years.
Soon the garage opened, and Jak pulled in on his zoomer with an accomplished look on his face, Daxter planted on his shoulder plate.
"Did you see those moves?" Daxter asked looking at himself in their new trophy that Jak set next to all the others, "Jak may have been the one with the handle bars, but do you really think he could have gotten any where with out me telling him what to do?" Daxter continued taking all the credit as usual.
Jak shook his head and rolled his eyes. He was defiantly different, his hair now reached to his shoulders and he had a goatee, he was also more muscled and had a some what darker look in his eyes than the bright eyed boy Klia remembered from Sandover.
"You'll never change will you Dax?" Klia asked smiling.
"Huh?" Daxter said turning around to face the speaker, "Whoa! Klia is that you? How longs it been?" He asked hopping up to a shelf next to her head so that he was eye level with her. "So have you heard about me defeating the metal head leader all by my self?" He asked trying to impress her and flirting all at the same time.
Keira shook her head and looked up towards the ceiling, while Jak folded his arms across his chest and looked as if he was waiting for Daxter to tell Klia his 'heroic' story.
Noticing Jak's gaze, Daxter stopped short before he started telling he's story, "Uhhh, Jak helped too." He said lowly pointing he's thumb towards him.
Klia giggled and shook her head.
"How have you been?" Jak asked turning his attention to her.
This took Klia by surprise and she blinked a few times, she then opened her mouth to question him, but Jak answered before she could ask. "It's along story... Lets just leaving it at that."
"Good, I guess." Klia replied after recovering from shock at the once mute Jak talking.
"So I guess we're the only ones who made it through the gate." Klia said a little disappointed, she missed her family.
Keira nodded, "With all of the metal heads that came through that gate, there was no way any one else would have been able to get through there, besides when we sent them back, the rings broke.. I'm sure that they broke when we went through to." She said referring to the kid they sent back to the past so he could fulfill his destiny.
Klia smiled the same sad smile as the other 3 in the room as they remembered what it was like in the past...
