Summary: Eighteen years have passed since the incident between the Princess of Bloodshed and the Princess of Disaster. Jak and Alexis wedded each other and ruled over Spargus with a gentle and just hand. However, in the comfort of the shadows, someone wants to re-create the nightmares from eighteen years past.
"Character speaking."
'Character thinking'
Things had finally calmed down. Jak and Alexis married each other and lived happily.
The documents that once contained all of the mysterious secrets to the Dark Warrior's Program had finally been burned. Alexis and Jak, the only two Dark Warriors left, made sure of it.
They knew that their daughter, as well as Xentia's daughter, had Dark Eco in their veins and could awaken their Dark Warrior.
They didn't want to have history repeat itself.
Sig kept his promise to Xentia and watched her child, Blossom, grow up to a healthy girl.
She kept her mother's black hair and green eyes. She had a mixture of her true father's and mothers traits. She had Xentia's quiet and sly personality with a mixture of arrogance and self pride from her father, Lucas.
She never knew that her real father was a murderer who had caused her mother unbearable pain. She always thought of Sig as her father.
Sig decided it would be best if they lived in Spargus, close to Jak and Alexis and their daughter, Princess Micaiah.
Much like Blossom, Micaiah had inherited her mother's brown hair and both her parents brown eyes. Sucking up to her father and mother eventually gained her the permission to dye green and yellow streaks throughout her hair to symbolize her father's hair.
She gained her innocent and outgoing personality from her mother while gaining confidence and strong-will from her father. Although she normally shows the fragile princess, she's much like her father and mother in combat. She secretly knows most of the guns and how to use them.
The two young princesses' had become close friends. They had heard of the tales of the Princess of Bloodshed and the Princess of Disaster and what had taken place.
The two had taken interest in the stories and kept asking Jak and Alexis to tell them more about it, but the two rulers never did.
"Hey," a small gentle voice broke the small silence between the two youngsters. "I bet when we get older, we'll be just as beautiful and strong as the two princesses!"
Blossom, the older of the two friends, frowned slightly. "Weren't they evil and stuff?"
Micaiah grinned and fist pumped. "Not entirely! They both have angel forms! They were balanced! At least, that's the way mommy and daddy put it!"
Blossom fumbled with her hands. "They were princesses. You're a princess, but I'm not."
"So what?" Micaiah grinned at her friend.
Blossom smiled at her friend. Micaiah pulled out a small golden plastic ring and placed it on her friends' finger. "We'll always be best friends! This ring will prove it forever!"
Blossom looked at the ring and then at her friend. Micaiah held out her pinky, smiling brightly. "Right?"
"Right." Blossom connected her pinky with her friends with a big smile on her face.
That was nearly ten years ago when Blossom was nine years old and Micaiah was eight years old. Now the two were teenagers, almost ready for adult hood.
Blossom was sitting at the beach. She was staring at the crystal blue waters with a small smile. She still wore that same small plastic golden ring around her middle finger.
She looked a lot like her mother. She held the green eyes that often would sparkle with an untellable hope that only Sig, Jak, and Alexis would truly understand. It was the same eyes that Xentia would have shown if she had not been changed into what she had become. The black colored hair that she inherited form her mother was at the same length that her mother normally had her hair.
Unlike most of the people of Spargus, she wore a pair of dark blue pair of jean shorts with a gray bikini top. Sig often disliked the outfit, but couldn't tell her not to change the outfit because she was no longer a child. Sometimes she would often wear her mothers black silkily see through cloak that would flow around her ankles. A pair of black knee-high boots adored her small feet.
In many ways, she looked like a splitting image of her mother. She even trained herself with a pair of shotguns and some swords like her mother and partially like her true father.
It worried Sig sometimes when the young girl would play with some of the guns around the house.
She sighed heavily as she waited for her friend. She stared at the crystal clear water and thought deeply of the stories that her best friends mother would speak of.
"Off in daydream land again?" Blossom turned to see Micaiah smiling at her. Like Blossom looked mostly like her mother, Micaiah shared a balanced amount of resemblance between her two parents.
She had long brown hair, much like her mothers, but added a few green and yellow streaks to proudly show that she was the daughter of Jak and Alexis. Sharing the same brown eyes of her mother and father, she often would hide a small glimmer of mischief.
She would normally wear two different pairs of outfits that would depend on the situation.
When she is just hanging with her friends, she often wears a tan colored sleeveless shirt that stopped at her waist while a black strapless mini dress went down to the middle of her thighs. She often always wore jean shorts that would stopped halfway down her legs. A pair of brown sandals adorned her feet.
When it was something formal, she'd have to wear her 'Spargus Princess Dress'. It was really her mother's tan colored ball dress that she had worn when she had gone to the ball to stop Mendall.
Around her middle finger was a small black plastic ring that had been given to her by Blossom to show their friendship.
"Took you long enough." Micaiah grinned. "Dad said that there are movements out in the desert. He fears that it's those meddlesome Marauders again."
"Is that why our parents are a little worried of letting us go out lately?" Blossom asked. Micaiah nodded slightly.
She took a seat beside her friend and stared at the sky. "I still love those stories that we heard as kids."
Blossom eyed her. "The stories about the Princesses of Bloodshed and Disaster?" Micaiah nodded.
"It's so dull around here." She frowned slightly. "They had all the fun while we were young or not even born."
"You don't like the peaceful state of how things are?" Blossom was surprised.
Micaiah looked at her. "I do! But…as a princess of Spargus, I never had the chance to show off my great skill like my father and mother had. I feel as if I'm unworthy of being the princess of such a strong city."
Blossom chuckled. "Oh you."
Micaiah looked at her and began to laugh. Soon enough Blossom joined in the laughter.
"Hey." The two stopped laughing and glanced to a boy about their age looking at him. He wore the regular Spargus 'men' clothing line, or so Micaiah had called it.
"Hey."
"I heard you guys talking about the mysterious Princesses of Disaster and Bloodshed. It's a very interesting story with lots of twists and sadness. I'm surprised that you two girls love it, despite it being a sad tale."
Blossom seemed a bit cautious around the guy. He gave off a strange aura that worried her greatly.
"Yeah, we've always loved it." Micaiah grinned.
"I know of where it all began."
"You do?" Micaiah cried happily. She jumped up onto her feet. "Yeah."
"Can you show us? I want to see of where it all began!"
"Are you sure? I don't want the royal princess getting herself dirty." He chuckled.
"Just wait," Blossom chimed in. Her right eye was slightly raised to show that she suspected him. "I'll go get my weapons. We can't go out into the desert unprotected."
"I'm a strong guy! I could protect ya!" he posed and grinned.
"My ass you will," Blossom grumbled under her breath.
"Oh, come on, Blossom! Please?" Micaiah looked at her friend with a pleading look.
She sighed heavily. "Alright fine. We'll meet you in the vehicle area." She grabbed her friends arm and began to drag her away towards the palace. She held a questioning look.
"What was that about, Blossom?"
"I don't trust him."
"Are we going to go or are you just dragging me away to the palace because you don't trust him?" She frowned slightly.
"I'm going to the palace to get some of my weapons so that if we go, I can protect us to the best of my ability." Blossom said. "Besides, I've been in the desert once or twice."
"Yay!" Blossom sighed heavily at her younger friend.
When the two walked into the palace, they were greeted by Daxter screaming. When they made their way to the throne room to see what was going on, they both sighed and shook their heads.
Daxter was running around in circles. "That can't be good at all! How do you two know that what you've heard is true?"
Micaiah watched as her mother stood up from her seat. Jak had one built for her when she was crowned as the Queen of the City of Spargus. She didn't dress up royally and neither did Jak. They both wore the same outfits they did when they had first met.
"It worries me." Alexis sighed as she stared out the large window and into the desert. "The Dark Warriors Program was destroyed! That guy is obviously bluffing!"
"Dark Warriors?" Blossom whispered.
She nearly yelped when she saw her father. He frowned greatly. "Jak, I thought you said Mendall had no children."
"That's what I was told. Maybe it's not even his child. It could be a colleague, someone who worked with him on the project." Jak answered.
"Perhaps they took notes of all the data they had when they worked on me and Xentia." Alexis inquired as she turned to face them. "They want the Princesses of Bloodshed and Disaster. They want to continue their evil plans from before."
"That means that they'll be targeting both Blossom and your daughter, Alexis." Sig warned. "Can't you change back into that form from before and try to stop them?"
Alexis looked back at Jak. "I'm terrified." She whispered before walking back over. "I was forced into the form of the Princess of Disaster by Mendall and a tiny bit of Xentia. You saw a tiny bit of the horrible power I had when I nearly destroyed his army in an attempt to stop him."
"Well, either way, it isn't good!" Daxter grumbled. "If they plan on continuing the Dark Warriors Program then they'll have somebody after Alexis, Blossom, and maybe Micaiah."
Jak growled and tightened his fist. "They'd have to get past me."
"Jak, they'd rebuild all those new and improved Dark Warriors. You couldn't defeat them. I'm slightly more or less equal in power as them." Alexis said.
"Wait a minute! I just remembered something! Remember when Mendall was always after you and Xentia?" Daxter asked.
"Yes. I do, but what does that have to do with our current situation?" She was a little annoyed of how he would bring up such a horrible thing.
"You two had kids." Daxter said. Jak's eyes went wide with realization. "Oh no."
"He gets it!" Daxter said as he pointed a finger towards his best friend. "Oh dear god." Alexis gasped as she covered her mouth in utter horror. "They'll be after Blossom more so than Micaiah!"
Sig looked over towards her. "Xentia was the Princess of Bloodshed, think of the power that is locked away deep into her heart and body! Then being raped by Lucas, one of the perfected forms of the Dark Warriors."
Micaiah gasped and placed a hand over her mouth in shock. She quickly looked over to Blossom who backed away from the door. She had a mixture of emotions on her face.
"Uh oh…" Daxter murmured. The three parents turned to see Micaiah and Blossom.
"B-blossom!" Sig cried out in surprise.
She quickly spun around and into her room before grabbing her pair of guns and two swords that she quickly strapped around her back.
Before Sig could get her, she ran out of the palace.
Micaiah stood there in shock. "Oh Micaiah, when did you two get here?" Alexis whispered.
"About five minutes ago…" Micaiah murmured. "Mom, from that conversation, does that mean that me and Blossom are…monsters?"
Jak stared over to her with a sad expression. "That's what people called us."
"And the Princesses of Disaster and Bloodshed; they weren't just some myth? It was really true? So that would mean that both me and her are these princesses!" Micaiah said.
Alexis looked away slightly. "No, the Princesses of Bloodshed and Disaster are no mere myth. They are very true."
Micaiah turned away. "And you'd keep such a large secret hidden away from both me and Blossom?"
Without another word, she darted off. "Micaiah, wait!" Alexis called after her retreating daughter. She sighed heavily and lowered her head.
Jak stood and walked over to her before hugging her. "Alexis, I can understand why you'd keep it from her after all of this time."
"Jak, eighteen years ago…" She murmured into his chest. "…that I was that very Princess of Disaster, ready to judge the world by destruction! Oh how fearful I was when I thought I lost you."
He sighed. "If what the letter we had gotten is true, then we have to tell them. We can't wait anymore."
"I think we waited a bit to long." Daxter commented.
Sig sighed and walked back into the room. "I agree with Daxter. Blossom ran out of the city and into the desert."
Jak looked at him. "Call the guards! The Marauders will be making their move!" Alexis' eyes widen with shock and shoved past the two. Daxter spun around when she ran past him.
"Alexis! Wait!" Jak yelled.
While the three parents and Daxter began their search for the two girls, none of them knew that they were near the road course.
"Blossom, are you alright?" Micaiah made her way next to her friends' side. "If what they said is true, not only are we monsters, but we're the princesses of Bloodshed and Disaster!"
Micaiah rested her hand on her friends shoulder. "I see that you took your vehicle. Do you wanna take a ride around the desert to cool off our minds? I think that'll help us calm down."
Blossom glanced over to her and nodded slightly. "Oh, there you two are!"
The two glanced over towards the male that they had talked with earlier. "I thought I saw a car racing out here. Are you ready to see where it all began?"
Micaiah glanced at Blossom from the corner of her eyes to see that Blossom nodded. "I do."
Blossom and Micaiah had made their way to Blossoms vehicle. Blossom was driving while Micaiah sat in the passengers' side.
While they were riding in a sand shark, the boy was riding with his jet board. "Okay, is everyone ready?"
"Yep!"
They hadn't noticed Jak and the others racing from the gates towards the road course.
"Micaiah and Blossom, stop!" Jak yelled.
"Uh oh, step on it!" Micaiah cried. Blossom quickly turned on the engine and slammed her foot on the gas pedal. Jak coughed as dirt was thrown up in the air. He watched as the vehicle and the boy on the jet board quickly rode off.
"Blossom! Micaiah! Come back, it's far too dangerous out there for you two!" Alexis called. She frowned greatly and watched as Jak growled and ran back to the vehicle area to grab one of the vehicles.
Alexis had caught up with him and watched as he quickly turned on the vehicle. Sig was in the passenger seat, ready to get the girls. Daxter watched from the gates. Alexis stood beside him with a frown.
"Be careful!" She called as he sped out of the area and into the desert after the three kids.
Eventually the three kids came towards a cave. "There!" He pointed towards the cave. Yelling over the engine, "That's where it all began! If we hurry and hide the vehicles, we'll be able to explore!"
About five minutes later the girls found a place where they thought would be the perfect hiding spot for their vehicle. They both climbed out and followed the boy who led them towards the cave.
"How do you know this is where it all began?" Blossom asked. "I find it strange on how you know where this is the place where is all transpired or at least first started."
He grinned as he looked back at them. "I went here and explored. I found an old document on the first experiments here. I figured that this was the old place where it all took place. By the way, I never gave you my name nor did you two give me yours."
As the three walked in the cave, Micaiah spoke. "My name is Micaiah and this is my best friend, Blossom. We grew up together in the palace."
"Ahh, so you are the princess, eh?" He chuckled. "That's a pretty name for such a beautiful girl such as yourself." She blushed and giggled.
Blossom barely smiled. She had been silent most of the time as they made their way around the caves. "How come you haven't said anything?"
Micaiah frowned and looked at Blossom who looked away. "I have my reasons and I'm not explaining it."
He looked confused for a moment before shrugging it off and continuing to walk.
"Is this place abandoned?" Micaiah whispered. He nodded. "Yeah, after the first experiment was over, they left this area for fear of being discovered and rooted from their main goal."
"What was their main goal?" Blossom asked.
He looked at her for a moment. "I…think it had to do with the incident from eighteen years ago when the Princesses of Bloodshed and Disaster revealed themselves. I don't know all the details. The only people who would have knowledge of such information would be—"
"Be the king, his wife and Sig. As well as the people in the city of Haven." Blossom answered.
Micaiah frowned and looked down. "Are you mad at me?" Blossom gave her a questionable look. "Why would I?"
"My father, mother, and your father have never told us about the secrets that we learned today."
Blossom shrugged. "I'm not mad at you. It's not like you knew either."
"I'd ask about what you two are talking about, but I'm not gonna press the matter." The boy grinned.
"Oh, you never gave us your name, sir!" Micaiah giggled a little.
He had placed his hands behind his head and moved his head a little to glance at them while continuing to walk.
"Skye." He answered with a small smirk. "The name is Skye."
"Skye…" Micaiah said. She secretly blushed. "You're very sweet, Skye!"
He smiled. "Why thanks, princess! You're quite the beauty yourself!"
Her face quickly blew up in red as her eyes slightly went wide from embarrassment. He laughed as she looked away nervously.
Blossom smiled warmly towards her friend who continued to blush. "Here we are! I believe this is the only experiment room."
He pointed towards the door. Blossom cautiously took a few steps towards the door and flung it opened. She stared at all of the stuff that was laid out in the room.
Broken computers were seen as well as a steel bed with small chains that were hanging off the sides. Torn up computer chairs were seen flipped over on their sides. Random papers were sprawled all out around the room. File cabinets were slightly opened or pulled out and were left on the floor.
"Was it this messy when you found it?" Micaiah questioned as she looked around. "Yeah." He frowned.
"Either someone was in a rampage or in a serious rush and forgot to clean up. I was thinking of cleaning up the place and making it a secret hangout."
"Hey, but that's dangerous with the Marauders out and about!" Micaiah protested.
"I don't think they even come here. Maybe they did once to look for artifacts, but other than that, I doubt they come here." He shrugged.
Micaiah looked around. "Hey, where did Blossom go?"
Blossom walked out from the other room with a terrified and horrified expression. She looked like she was about to have a mental breakdown as tears poured from her eyes.
"Oh! What's wrong, Blossom?" Micaiah was beside her in a matter of minutes. "My…My…"
She was holding onto a photograph. Micaiah took it from her friend. It showed a picture of Xentia when she was first completed into her Dark form. She flipped it over.
"Xentia, completed version of injected Dark Eco. One of two perfected Dark Warrior females." Micaiah read.
"Whoa…" Skye murmured as he looked at it over her shoulder.
"Oh my gosh, it's your mother, Blossom!" Micaiah quickly glanced at it again. "The green eyes and the black hair; you resemble her so much!" She inquired as she continued to look at the photograph.
"Wait a minute, that's her mother?" Skye glanced back and forth between Blossom and the photograph.
"Micaiah, Blossom! Are you two in here?"
Micaiah jumped up and paled. "T-that's dad! He's gonna kill me for running off like that!" She looked around for some kind of exit.
She grabbed Skye and tossed him into the room where he gasped and fell onto his back.
"Sorry, but if dad found out that it was you that brought us here, he'd flip out!" She said.
She quickly turned to Blossom and tried to get her to stand. She barely moved and just continued to stare at the photograph.
"Blossom, c'mon!" She murmured as she tried pushing her into another room. "Why should we run?" she whispered. "So we don't get our butts bitten off by dad!"
"He's the one at fault here." Blossom murmured. Micaiah groaned and finally was able to push her friend into the next room and watch from a small hole in the wall for her father who shortly came in after.
He frowned and crossed his arms across his chest. "I thought I heard voices here."
"Gah, back to this place, huh?" Sig groaned.
Jak glanced over his friend who sadly looked over the place. "Where we first met Doctor Mary. I'd never have figured that Mendall was crazy enough to erase her memory of her human life and give her a completely different attitude, name, and look."
"Xentia, after she came to us, certainly changed her attitude when she lived in the city of Spargus. I wonder if she was really happy or if she knew of what was going to happen. Every time she looked over Blossom a small sad smile formed. She always told me it was nothing. I was gonna propose to her after that incident too." Sig sighed.
Jak placed a hand on his shoulder. "She left Blossom to continue her legend. Even as the Princess of Bloodshed, she still saved me and Alexis when all seemed lost. If she hadn't given her life…I doubt any of us would be here."
Sig smiled sadly at him. "When we find Blossom and Micaiah, I'm going to show Blossom her mothers' dairy. I managed to look over it and everything she said was sad. That's why I never showed her when she was younger. I guess I should have showed it to her then to make her heart stronger."
Jak nodded and continued to look around. He noticed the two rooms. "Want to take a guess that either of them are in these two rooms?"
He began to walk towards the room where Skye was. "Oh crap!" Micaiah whispered.
She froze in place when she accidentally kicked a can. She slowly moved her head around to glare at the can.
Blossom paid no attention to the door as it opened. Micaiah gave a weak smile towards her father and Sig who entered the room. She gave a weak giggle. "H-hi."
"So this is where you went running off to?" She gulped and fumbled with her hands. "What about the boy who guided you here?"
"H-he left." Micaiah stared at her father with a small sweatdrop forming. Jak eyed her. He knew that she was lying.
"What are you looking at, Blossom?" Sig bent down next to her and nearly gasped when he saw the picture of Xentia. "This is mom, isn't it?"
He remained silent for a moment before nodding. "Yeah, that's your mom. Look, Blossom, I was going to tell you." He murmured.
"When?" She whispered. "When were you going to tell me that my mother was the Princess of Bloodshed and that you're not my real father? When were you going to tell me any of that?"
"Dad, how come you never told us any of this? Don't you think its vital information that our mother's were the Princesses of Disaster and Bloodshed and about the incident from eighteen years ago?" Micaiah said.
"We never thought that we'd be threatened by any groups of evil, so we thought it best that we didn't tell you. Blossom, if we told you about what your mother wrote, we feared that you'd learn about you two now being the two fearful princesses. We didn't want to frighten either of you." Jak answered.
"Come on; let's go back to the palace where it'll be safer. Also tell your friend to come out from the other room. We aren't going to yell at any of you. I completely understand that you were upset and wanted some time alone, but it's dangerous out here." Sig said.
Micaiah sighed heavily and stood before walking over to the other door. "Skye, it's alright." Skye frowned slightly when he came out and saw Jak. "Uh…Hi, Mr. King."
Blossom stood and walked out and stood beside Micaiah. "Are you well enough to drive, Blossom?" Micaiah asked. Blossom held her mothers photo close to her chest before placing it in her pockets.
"I'm well enough." Micaiah slowly nodded and walked back into the hallways after Sig and her father.
Skye eyed Blossom as she continued to walk. He winced when he thought he saw something flash in her eyes.
Someone watched from the shadows with a small grin. His plan just might work afterall.
Yeah…this is the new story! It takes place eighteen after the incident when Blossom was just a mere baby~
I have a few chapters in mind, but please leave a review~ Give me ideas of what YOU think should happen! You may never know if I like it! –wink wink-
Anyway, enjoy~
