This story is a sequel to my original Jak and Spyro crossover, it will have many similar elements with Jak 3, but will have my own ideas thrown into the mix as well. Do not read if you have not read Jak and Spyro When Heroes Collide yet!

JAK AND SPYRO

WORLDS UNITED

Ch1: Prologue

On the planet Elorin, there is an area known as the Wasteland, a bleak unforgiving desert where those unfortunate enough to be lost will face a desperate struggle to survive. It is also where the inhabitants of the distant Haven city exile their refuse, citizens who have chosen to turn against the city or to stand up to the higher ruling power that was once Baron Praxis. With the tyrant now deceased, the city's ruling fell to his daughter Governor Ashelin and the Haven City's high council. Seeking to repair the damage left by her father and the recent Metalhead invasion, Ashelin along with Torn and Samos have united the city's security force from the Krimzon guard and former Underground members into a new group known as the Freedom League (FL), their sole mission to preserve the peace that the city had gained. Unfortunately, that peace was proved to be short-lived after one brief year, when the city soon found itself under attack once again, and brings us to recent events…

In the desolate wasteland, miles away from Haven City, a FL air transport flew through the desert to a predetermined destination. The flight was scenic but definitely not friendly, nothing but sand dunes, cactus plants and large mountains littered the landscape, no signs of refuge or life were visible in the surrounding area. The transport finally started to set down, its eco-jet engines blowing sand away making a small ripple in the loose landscape as it landed. The rear hatch opened up, revealing their cargo, two FL soldiers escorted the former hero of Haven, Jak onto the sand, one hitting him in the back to get him moving. Behind them stood Ashelin, feeling disconcerted about the unfolding events. The elderly man wearing a fancy suit next to her, was feeling the exact opposite as he read Jak his rights from a book in his hand.

"By order of the Grand council of Haven City, for heinous acts and crimes against the people, you are hereby banished to the wasteland, for life," he said shutting the book.

"This is a death sentence Veger!" Ashelin argued to the council high broker, "there must be another way."

"Your protest was overruled Governor," Veger retorted, turning his glare to Jak who did nothing but smirk, "this dark eco freak is dangerous! NOW DROP THE CARGO!"

"This is an outrage!" came another voice from the transport, who was revealed to be the parrot-monkey Packer, catching everyone's attention as he dropped down from the transport ceiling, "I am outraged beyond words, although I do have something to say, not everyone agrees with this ridiculous decree!"

To add to the surprises, Daxter dropped down from the ceiling in front of Packer and said, "Yeah! We want a recount!"

"oh I see you wish to join him?!" Veger questioned. Packer chickened out and changed his mind, "actually, we are not that outraged, farewell Jak! Stay out of the sun! drink lots of water…if you can find it of course."

Daxter shot him a look as the bird slunk back behind the seat to hide, his worried gaze then turned to Jak, "Jak?"

"Go back to the city Dax," Jak ordered. Ashelin walked up and unlocked his cuffs with her key card.

"I'm sorry," she said, "the council is too powerful, there was nothing I could…"

"I know," Jak interrupted her. Ashelin then took something from her pocket and shoved it into his hand.

"You just stay alive, you hear me? That's an order, I promise someone will find you," Ashelin reassured him as she turned back to the transport, but she said one more thing before walking on board, "I don't want to deliver Keira any news for mourning."

Jak slightly looked down at her last comment, for the feeling was mutual, for he didn't want to be the cause for delivering the bad news. As the transport engines fired up again and the rear hatch hydraulics slowly started to close, Veger said, "may the Precursors have mercy on you," finishing with a sinister smirk.

The hatch closed up, and the transport flew away blowing a bit of sand in Jak's face. He shielded himself as the vehicle disappeared from sight, looking again at the glowing beacon in his hand given to him by Ashelin before shoving it into his belt pocket.

"Cough!...cough!…hackkk!" The sound of coughing caught his attention, and he was somewhat surprised at who he saw.

"Daxter!" Both Daxter and Packer stood in front of him, dusting the sand off their bodies.

"Don't thank me, I'm only here because you wouldn't last a second without me! Now you got us into this mess and you're gonna get us out!"

"Ahh, what a team we'll make!" Packer agreed trying to get on their good side.

"Let's just get moving," Jak instructed getting them back on track, and observed their surroundings to figure out what direction would be best, "but which way?"

"THAT WAY!" Daxter and Packer pointed in opposite directions, with clearly not a clue.

"Oh and I suppose you know where you're going huh?" Packer asked.

"Better than you bent beak!" Daxter argued.

Jak facepalmed before turning around to start hiking, "Uggh, let's just move," both animals followed right behind him.


FLASHBACK

'Haven City Freedom League HQ'

"Jak the city's divided," said Torn, "reports say new Krimzon deathbots are holding the vital section of the Industrial area, my men are getting beaten around the bush! The KG have a new leader, we're still trying to find out who."

"I'm afraid I've got more bad news," Samos said walking up to them, "A large group of surviving metalheads have concentrated in another section of the city,"

"But we destroyed Kor!" argued Jak with Daxter on his shoulder nodding in agreement.

"It appears the strongest metalheads have survived," Samos responded, "the battle for the city has just begun!"

"The people are blaming you Jak!" Ashelin informed, causing Jak to shrink away in thought.

FLASHBACK END


The wasteland heat was finally starting to take its toll on the trio after two full days of hiking in the scorching sun. They were completely tired, not to mention dehydrated. Jak finally felt his legs buckle and his vision black out as he collapsed on the ground.

"Right…good plan Jak," coughed Daxter, "a nap would be nice…just a teensy little rest," and he collapsed right next to him.

"This bird is overcooked…plop!" Packer fell on the ground next to him completely exhausted.

"Cough…cough…the palace," Jak whispered before passing out into another flashback.


FLASHBACK

"Report," said Samos, who stood with Jak on top of the palace, down below the sounds of gunfire and the smell of sulfur littered the city.

"It's bad, the city has become a battlefield, mechanized deathbots have taken the industrial section, and the surviving metalheads have expanded their hold on the west side, all fronts are losing ground!" Torn reported as he flew over the city on his H-cat with Ashelin, avoiding various forms of cannon, laser and missile fire.

"The council is meeting tonight in an emergency session, rumblings about you Jak, it doesn't look good, they think your friendship with Krew helped the metalheads get into the city," Ashelin reported to them.

"You don't believe that do you?" Jak asked Samos for reassurance.

"What's in the past is done!" Samos said, "Right now, metalheads are assaulting the palace, they're looking for something, and I have no idea what…" the sound of an incoming missile interrupted him, and they both turned around, and were horrified to see a group of land missiles fired from the city west side impact the palace base, causing the palace to topple over.

KABOOM!KABOOM!KABLAMM!KABLAMM!

"Help! We're falling!" cried Daxter atop Jak's shoulder, trying to keep Samos from falling as well. The palace continued falling with all of them still perched on the walkway until Torn flew his cruiser in close to aid.

"Over here! JUMP!"

Jak and Samos wasted no time in jumping aboard the H-cat, and they immediately flew away from the wreckage before the rest of the palace finally collapsed on the ground with a sickening BOOOOMMMM! Destroying half the city including the farming and stadium area in the process. Flying around to the now open base of the palace, the passengers aboard the H-Cat couldn't believe their eyes.

"By the Precursors," Samos gasped upon seeing a series of cylindrical orange structures inside a gaping hole positioned below the palace base.

FLASHBACK END


As the wasteland sunset approached, three men in rugged desert outfits trekked through the sand searching for their quarry, until they found Jak and the two animals lying on the ground barely alive.

"Looks like we found some live ones, heh barely," one man wearing a crown said. He noticed something blinking in Jak's hand, and reached down to grab it.

"Here's the beacon we were picking up, who gave you this?" He picked Jak up by his scruff and asked. Jak didn't respond, his eyes just flickered out as he finally lost consciousness.

"We'll take them with us," he told his two companions, "move, I smell a storm coming."


Setting: Dragon Realms

Across the stars, another event was currently happening on another planet far away. The structure that stood at the peak of a peninsula was deserted save for a few bugs, as well as the surrounding area. The ruined temple was nearly demolished, but it held a great many secrets, and that was the reason for the current search party that was investigating these ruins.

"Sparx!"

A shining little dragonfly flew down from the highest point of the temple to his large purple brother who called him down.

"What Spyro? In case you forgot I'm on a mission, then again how could you when you were the one who gave it to me in the first place!"

"Cool off, you've been up there for an hour, have you found anything?"

"Nothing but dust that is trying to sag my wings down, can't we just once come somewhere that was meant for dragonflies?"

Spyro just shook his head and turned around to the open door in front of him, it was 20 ft high and 30 ft long, so it was quite open to anyone who wanted to enter.

"Sparx, I am going to scout ahead, stay in this region until I come back"

Spyro started walking through the door and onto the awaiting pathway that led further into the temple. Inside was a lavishing sight to uphold, the sunlight had broken through the holes left by toppled bricks the wall needed to stand steady. He had to tread carefully because the remainder of his party trailed behind him, and they had to make it through as well, preferably unharmed. He started walking carefully making sure to take light steps to avoid upsetting the unstable structure around him.

Spyro came to a staircase and started descending, wondering what awaited him ahead, though through his experience in exploring temples he knew that the secrets would eventually reveal themselves.

After another two minutes, the end of the staircase came into view, but out after that, there was a wide atrium blanketed in darkness. Spyro dared not enter any further until he could find a way to shed some light. He looked to the left, and saw a red jewel fastened into the left side wall which appeared to be linked to channels along the wall. It was actually quite similar to the energy gem on the Armageddon Arch Spyro had found over a year ago.

Spyro lit the gem with his fire breath, causing it to glow. The energy then fed themselves into the channels along the wall. He watched as the fire energy traveled all the way through the channels ahead, branching off in multiple directions until it ended up illuminating the entire chamber.

At the end of the chamber, Spyro saw what he had hoped he wouldn't find, a dead end. But a closer look showed that the wall at the end of the tunnel was made of more than stone. Pictographs covered the whole area of the wall, from top to bottom. He moved closer to inspect it, and to his astonishment saw something familiar to him once before, but on another journey.

Outside the temple, the search party was waiting for an update from the purple dragon, of which included Terrador and two of his earth pupils Chloro who was obstinate and Vacu who was quite impatient. They had just completed their analysis of the temples exterior and other than finding a couple of old runes to ancient lost civilizations of dragons, there wasn't anything relevant to their real goal: Secrets of the Precursors. Ever since Spyro and Cynder's journey to another planet, they had been on the search for Precursor secrets on their own planet. Many attempts had failed as of now, but right now they were currently exploring new leads on this lone island. According to Ignitus, some of the ancestors had housed unknown treasures in unchartered territories on the planet, treasures of unknown relevance. Location was unknown, but they were told it would be marked by a common symbol, and the other search party included Cynder, Cyril, and two of his students were exploring another ruin several miles away on the same island.

Terrador and his pupils were about to enter the temple themselves until they saw Spyro running toward them from the temple mouth. He appeared to be quite surprised, "We have to bring in the others to secure this structure! This is what we have been searching for!"


Hello everyone! After many years of inactivity, I'm back, and ready to get creative again! I have finally decided to put some of my new ideas down on paper and publish them again, I can't wait to get started again. To all those who have read Jak and Spyro: When Heroes Collide, your wish has been granted, I've started a sequel, despite my earlier attempts to resist writing sequels, but I've come to realize they are not all bad, they are just a reason for writers to keep going. The chapters will be as long if not longer then they were in my previous story, but I will try to provide better quality then before. Anyway I've begun once again, and stick around, because the real adventure is about to begin!
