Note: I suggest people to read Chapter 7 before reading this because I have a feeling people didn't think that I update the chapter with the real one. So if you didn't read the REAL chapter 7, go read before you do. If you have, then continue on.

Lisa: Hello, everyone and Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

Michelle: I want turkey!

Neko: I want my gumbo! I needs my gumbo!

Annie: I want sushi!

Lisa, Michelle, and Annie: 0o!

Neko: Um... okay! That was weird! Well on with the story!

Mina's dead and Lisa's been captured by Markus and the Krimzon Guard. Why the hell is this going on? I feel as if there is more to that kid than we first met her. I feel kind of bad for nearly choking the kid. That's the worst first impression I've done in my whole career in the Underground. I bet Jak has already learned about it because I saw his little furry friend running out of the house and into me and Mango. I guess that answers most of the questions that we are all asking, but one thing's unclear. Why was Duo there at Mina's house? This is Torn, and I have a bad feeling that something is going to happen that could change the city's outlook on these girls.

Chapter 8
Dark Memories & Finding Lisa

I began to struggling out of Markus' grasp as he carried me over his shoulder through a large hallway with pillars holding up the high ceiling and a red carpet on the floor. My hands were bonded so I kept elbowing his back and kicking his stomach, but nothing seemed to faze him.

After probably five minutes, I just gave up and let him take me to where ever we are going. I just hope it's not to the prison or to Errol. I'm cool anywhere except a prison with an experimental table and/or Errol in the room. I heard doors opening slowly as he kept walking into a large room. He set me down on the floor softly with my feet firmly on the ground, but he kept a grip on my jacket, keeping me from escaping.

"So this is the child that came through the portal," said a gruff voice. I looked up ahead to see Baron Praxis, the infamous ruler of Haven City. He slowly walked toward me and Markus before putting his hand under my chin and pushing it so I would be facing him. "She seems to be in good health."

I opened my mouth and attempted to bite him with my slightly sharp teeth, but he pulled away quickly and I just tasted air. "She sure is a feisty one," the Baron said with a chuckle. "I could see why you had a problem with this one, Errol." I looked to the throne and saw Errol standing on the steps, scowling down at me and growled lowly.

"What will you do with her, sir?" Markus asked as he kept his grip on my tighter. If I didn't know better, I sensed worry in his voice or it could be just my imagination.

Michelle: Your imagination just got yourself kidnapped by the Krimzon Guard and Mina dead, 6th grader!

Lisa: Shut up with that stupid name!

Annie: You do look like one.

Lisa: Can I please get back to the story?

"We could put this girl in the experiment like the other two," Errol suggested as he walked toward us and folded his arms once he did. "They seem to be all from the same world so it's a high possibility that she could live through it."

I felt fear come over. I don't want to go through the Dark Warrior Program! From what I remembered from the game storyline, many people died from the large amounts of Dark Eco being pumped into them. The only survivor known was Jak, and he turns into a monsters when he's pissed or has taken too much of Dark Eco.

"Screw the contract!" Michelle shouted as she headed toward the unoccupied zoomer near the entrance of the Hip Hog Saloon. "I'm going to find Lisa!"

"Michelle, you have to think this through!" Annie yelled. "This is not the time to go hot-headed on anyone! She was bound to get caught! She was a wanted poster for crying out loud!"

However, her reasoning fell on deaf ears as Michelle jumped on to the zoomer and started to hot wire it. It wouldn't start. She kept trying and trying, but it just wouldn't start. "Come on, you stupid piece of shit! Work!" she snapped, punched at the handlebars. As she kept hot wiring it, tears began to fall from her eyes. "Just start already, goddamn it! Please!"

While she kept hot wiring and cursing, Jak had quickly gone outside and saw the worry in Michelle's eyes. Once Daxter slowly said what he was trying to say, Michelle just bolted out of the bar and headed outside. He was about to go over to the hysterical girl when Annie held his shoulder, telling him to stop. He then had to watch as Michelle jumped off the zoomer and started to kick it with her feet. Daxter jumped on to Annie's shoulders and watched as Michelle started to go ballistic.

Michelle stopped and ran back inside the bar. The three were about to go back inside too when the Mexican came back with a sledge hammer and ran toward the zoomer.

"Oh god," Annie muttered. "She is not going to do it."

Michelle then started to slam the zoomer apart with the hammer like Dico did when the Viva La Bam crew got jobs to pay the heating bill. Annie watched as Jak and Daxter looked shock at this action. As Michelle kept on destroying the zoomer, a few pedestrians stopped to watch the chaos that was happening in the Water Port.

"I'm a little frightened," said a young man as Michelle destroyed the steering system.

Annie then shook her head and decided to enjoy the show. She then saw that Michelle threw the hammer into the water and just stood there, huffing and puffing.

"That was a bit psychotic," Daxter commented as he watched the girl slowly calm down.

"Bite it!" the Asian shouted.

"You bite it, you dick!" her friend retaliated.

"What?" Annie said, arching a brow.

Michelle smiled and then said in a tired voice, "Oh nothing! We're going to win anyways! Let's head off!" She then headed off to find another zoomer that she could ride. Annie stared over to Jak who had his jaw hanging out. She sighed and then pushed it back in place before patting his back.

"You'll see more psychotic things if you hang out more during her anger moments," Annie commented before heading inside.

Markus was now heading toward the Stadium, getting information that there was going to be a new rider for his team. Once he entered his team's garage, he saw Duo working on his zoomer.

"Hey, Duo!" he called, getting the young mechanist's attention.

"Markus, you're early," his friend commented before they smashed fists with one another.

"Is she ready yet?" Markus asked, folding his arms and gesturing toward the said zoomer.

Duo sighed and replied, "Almost, Markus. We just need to replace some of the parts and she'll be running like she did back home."

Duo went back to work while Markus looked around the garage, seeing some of the trophies his team won and a few pictures of him and his teammates. He picked up a small picture frame, showing him holding a small girl wearing a golden jewel headband around her head. Both of them were smiling and he smirked at this.

"Markus!" shouted a woman's voice as the man turned around to see Mariah walking toward him. He sighed in annoyance as he placed the picture back in its place. "What do you want, Mariah?" he said, rolling his eyes as the girl practically attached herself to his right arm.

"The master is asking if you have found our dear little one," she purred as she had a tight grip on his arm.

"I already told you, you wench," he growled, pulling his arm away from her. "I only report to the master directly. I won't tell you anything."

"Oh! Is our dear Markus actually showing emotions feelingly?" Mariah said. "I could tell the master about this, and he could put someone else on the job."

Without warning, he grabbed the woman's collar and pulled her off the ground. "Is that a threat you're telling me, my dear Mariah?" he said, anger clearly shown in his face and heard in the tone of his voice.

"That's more like it, Markus," she commented, not flinching from the situation she is in. Markus snarled at her before letting her go. He turned away from her and commanded, "Leave now. We are getting a new driver."

Mariah just smiled and waved her hand as she walked away, leaving the garage. Once he saw the girl leave, he swiped his hand at the table of tools that were nearby, making all the tools fall to the ground.

"Damn her…"

Neko kicked a small discarded can on the floor as she kept walking through the Slums of Haven City. "I wonder how far in the game we are now?" she mentally wondered as she kept on walking. She was so deep in her thoughts, but she was pulled into reality when she took another step and fell forward into the murky water of the Water Slums.

After a few moments, Neko resurfaced and quickly took long deep breaths of air. She then heard laughing as she turned to the wooden platforms and saw Kato on his zoomer. "You... are so... hilarious!" he said through his laughter. He then helped her up on to the wooden planks as her clothes were now drenched.

"Aw great!" she muttered as she removed her white vest and started to wring the water out. "Did you find Duo?"

"Yeah! He just headed to the garage at the Stadium," he stated.

"Oh yeah. I almost forgot that he is a mechanic," she added as she rubbed the back of her head. Kato shook his head as he jumped on to his zoomer and waited for Neko to sit behind him. Once they did, they headed back to the shop.

They soon came to a traffic jam in the Slums, near the Water Port. Neko looked straight forward, not hearing someone calling her name until she felt someone tap her shoulder.

"Neko, are you deaf or something?"

She turned her head to the right to see Michelle along with Annie sitting behind her. The African glared at the two before looking forward and said, "What the hell do you want?"

"Neko! I just learned where Lisa is!" Annie stated.

Neko looked shock and stared at them. "Seriously? Where?"

"The Krimzon Guard have her!" Neko's eyes widened in fear as she carefully listened to what they were saying. "Some creep named Markus took her!"

"Yeah, and Duo is a bad guy too!" Annie added, which was a bad idea since Neko glared at them and turned away.

"Look Neko! I know you're mad at Annie," Michelle said as her friend had her back turned to them. "but we need your help! Lisa's got kidnapped and we have to work with both Krew and the Underground."

"Why should I trust you?" Neko exclaimed, tears nearly ready to fall out. "Duo would never do such a thing! It could have been a look a like or something! Even though he acts like an ass recently, he couldn't have helped the bad guys take Lisa away!"

She then signaled Kato to speed up as they left them there in the traffic jam. Annie shook her head and turned to Michelle. "Yep! Merry is so going to kill us for letting Lisa getting kidnapped."

"Hey sweethearts!" Daxter shouted as he and Jak passed by in their zoomer. "Hurry up! We only got almost two minutes left!"

I felt myself thrown into a room as I heard the doors locked, keeping me prisoner. I then looked around my surroundings; it was like a solitary confinement room only the walls were grey and there was nowhere soft to sit. I found the farthest corner from the door and sat there in the silence.

It felt like hours of solitude, but I'm really used to it. I've been sent into smaller places in the house whenever I disobeyed my parents. Hell, I got sent for lying in order to protect one of my cousins from my mother's wrath. God, why does my mom have to be so harsh on such little things?

I then heard the door open and then slam shut. I looked up and saw Markus holding small Dark Eco orb as he walked toward me. I jolted from where I sat and made a dash for the door, but he pulled me back and pushed me to the floor. He pinned my left shoulder with his right hand, holding the orb in his left. He had his legs keeping me from kicking him where you would usually kick a guy at.

I saw him stare at me with stoic eyes as he said, "It's time to finish what I started."

-+-+-+-

"Oh my god!" Michelle gasped as she nearly fell of her zoomer as they entered the Stadium. "We made it!"

Annie quickly jumped off the zoomer and landed on the cement ground where the garages were. She then pulled out the contract paper and read the location of their garage. Daxter followed suit as he too pulled out the contract from Jak's pack and began to read it.

"Ok! According to this, it says we have to go..."

They then pointed at different directions. "...that way."

There was an awkward silence before they quickly shot their eyes back to the papers and stated, "We are on different teams?!"

To be continued...

Michelle: That just sucks! I wanted to race in Jak's team!

Annie: Yeah right! You won't be able to because he has to win the races!

Lisa: I hate my situation...

Michelle: I know! I wanted that to be me there!

Lisa: -sweatdrop-

Neko: Let's just reply the reviewers...

Riley Killer: Thanks for the review! You make us feel special!

Silver Horror: Yeah... Poor Lisa... Can't tell you what's going to happen to her, but it'll shock some people!

Darkecogir: I'm sorry that we killed Mina! I loved her too! She was a nice OC to Lisa, but her death will not be in vain!

Tech Thanks for the review! Yeah, the story alert doesn't work all the time for Lisa.

Now for a preview of the next update of Jak 2: Teenagers in Haven City.

I stood on the balcony as I stared at the city below. It seemed so familiar to me, but nothing came to my mind. I then heard the door open, turning my head to see a large man standing there along with the boy that was with me when I woke up.

"Hey, Sara," said the boy. "It's good that you're awake. This is Baron Praxis." He pointed at the man. "Your father."

Oh... who is this Sara person? Just wait until next week because it will be posted after the season finale of Avatar!
