Eco's Kryptonite II: A Fallen Hero
Chapter 4
-------------
Jak walked all the way into the wastelands and he was very angry but at the same time he was enjoying his new powers and what better way to do that than to do something big like destroy a metalhead cave? He stood in front of the cave finally and he thought about all the time that he had trouble with the metalheads and as he kept thinking about it he got angrier and angrier. He walked through the cave and he saw the glowing green colors of the metalhead eggs reflecting onto him and then he went to work destroying the eggs and the cave. Jak used his powers by shooting out black beams and he did this until the cave itself imploded until it was just ashes and rubble. Jak walked out of the dust and he was laughing evilly as he figured out how to solve the problem of metalheads for good but it seemed as if he was killing harmless babies and any other metalheads that can only survive in the cold, dark depths of the cave.
Hiermon looked from a distance and he was impressed with Jak's new form and how he was using his powers but it seemed he had a plan of his own because he was holding Jak's eco-fusion crystal.
'Jak you will know what its like to not have anyone to love, you will know what its like to suffer!' thought Heirmon as he looked on and then he teleported to another place.

Meanwhile Asheline and Samos was looking at the substance through a microscope and it was an interesting substance.
"Hmmm… this substance is idle without anything bothering it but when I add water molecules then the substance aggressively destroys the water molecules before… it destroys itself, this is black eco," said a terrified Samos.
"No… this can't be, Jak took black eco?" asked Asheline, "There's only one place that black eco originated from."
"Where?"
"My father had a secret laboratory where he would hire scientists to create new kinds of eco and he would test them on plants but this was the only eco that seemed to be flawless, but the thing is with this eco it fuels off of your anger but when you don't have any more anger… the eco kills you."
"And exactly when were you going to fill us in on this information?" asked Torn who heard Asheline.
"What I want to know is why Hiermon would want to give Jak this eco unless… Heirmon wanted to destroy Jak himself," said Samos.
"You guys are unbelievable, Jak needs our help now since you insisted on keeping secrets from him that you should've told him a long time ago no matter how hard it seemed," said Daxter.
"Look we can play the blame game later but for now we have to find and warn Jak in the meantime, he may be going to self-destruct anytime soon," said Torn.

Meanwhile, Jak was still in the Wastelands and he saw Hiermon from a distance and he sensed something he never sensed before, danger. He started thinking back to when Samos started talking to Asheline about Jak's twin brother and it finally hit him. He started to get his memory about his brother back and it went all the way back to when he was three watching his brother walk into the horizon with… Commander Praxis.
He looked at the person standing looking back and it was almost as if he was looking into a mirror except the reflection bore the mark of Baron Praxis.
The two walked towards each other and it was like the scene in those western movies when the showdown at noon occurred except this was different.
"Well, well, well if it isn't Jak my so called brother," said Hiermon.
"Hiermon how long has it been?" asked Jak.
"Don't try to change the subject Jak you killed my father, the great Baron Praxis."
"Great? He was a tyrant who needed to be taught a lesson."
"You shut up about my father he loved me very much."
"Awww… that's so sweet if he loved you then why did he hide you? He was ashamed of you, that's why he gave me the dark eco because you were an embarrassment to him!"
"Shut up, you don't know what I had to go through, it was painful, agonizing and the worst time of my life."
"What a wimp, that's why he gave up on you, you are such a weakling who can't have your own way."
"Okay Jak I see that I have to teach you a lesson in respect, you will respect me after this, you will wish that you never decided to kill my father," said Hiermon as he held up the eco-fusion to a shocked Jak, "Does this look familiar to you, hero?"
"So what, use the stupid eco-fusion crystal but its not as powerful as this black eco, it's so powerful, I will destroy you," said Jak.
Meanwhile the others manage to find Jak who was face to face with his twin brother and they were just about to do battle.
"No this is all my fault, this is not how I wanted them to reunite," said Samos.
"We better do something then…" said Daxter.
"No we can't, they must learn from this, there's no way that we can stop them now," said a concerned Torn.
"Whatever we do we need to separate Jak from the eco at all costs otherwise he will be destroyed," said Samos.
Samos, Daxter, Keira, Torn and Asheline looked on as the battle between two brothers was about to begin and the outcome will not be a good one.
In the next chapter, Jak and Heirmon face off in one of the most dreadful and brutal battles ever, but who will reign supreme in this battle; also when it's all said and done will Jak go down that road of self- destruction? Find out in a three part fiasco, Blood is Thicker than Eco!!!
