Eco's Kryptonite

Chapter 8

--------------

Asheline, Keira and Daxter were miserably tied up and they were thinking up plans to escape their dreadful imprisonment but they couldn't think of any way to escape but using Asheline's gun to shoot the ropes because Daxter's teeth couldn't penetrate the ropes. Daxter snuck under the guards who were guarding Errol and his throne, and they were watching the battle that was taking place between Jak and Torn. Daxter grabbed the gun unnoticed and he snuck back under the guards. Asheline freed herself and Keira and she felt like she had a little bit of control back as she pointed the gun to Errol and his guards.

"Alright you Class A suckups I think its time to let us go," ordered Asheline.

The guards pointed their guns toward Asheline but Errol told them to put their guns down and insisted that the trio should escape. Without hesitation the trio agreed and they made a run for the door but they wouldn't like what was on the other side…

----------------

Jak and Torn were engaged in an eco swordfight and the whole coliseum lit up as the different elemental eco collided. The two were battling for more than just bragging rights, this was to the death and the whole world was on the line. The crowd watched as the two were bent on killing each other and it seemed as if Jak had the upper hand because he remembered what the precursors said about his focus and power. He was also thinking of Torn's good half as the battle raged on and he managed to get a slice in on Torn's chest.

"Well Jak I have underestimated your power but however you continue to underestimate my, now let me introduce you to my power!" yelled Torn to a confused Jak, "Rise my old former self!"

Jak watched in horror as the good half of Torn rose out of the ground tied to a pillar and he was bloodied and bruised up. The good half woke up and looked at Jak in hopes of freeing him.

"Torn this is crazy, look at what you are doing to yourself," exclaimed Jak.

"You don't know the half of it Jak, you see I'm tired of you taking all of the credit for everything but now we'll put your saving life skills to the test," said Torn, "All you have to do is withstand my wrath and should you defeat me which I doubt then he'll be free!"

Jak knew the challenge then he continue to fight but it seemed like he was distracted by the stakes of the battle rather than focus on the battle itself and this was a wide open opportunity for Torn to strike. Torn sliced a huge gash on Jak's chest and withering in pain Jak saw as the blow affected the good half of Torn because he saw Torn's right elbow vanish, of course Torn was screaming in pain. Jak saw the agony that Torn was in and he notice that Torn was continuing to scream but it felt like his elbow was being surgically removed. Jak then piled a offense that was an all out melee of slashes and dashes which brought Torn to his knees and for the first time Jak was on the upper hand as there were a lot of gashes and cuts on the evil Torn. The crowd was cheering as they saw Jak prevailing and triumphant but that didn't last for long.

"Heh, heh Jak you have a great effort of fighting me but you haven't defeated me watch as I show you why!" yelled Torn.

Then Torn dug deep inside to resurrect the three platinum metalheads and he combined them into one ultimate platinum metalhead. The metalhead was 110 ft tall it had two heads which was the dragons head and the snakes head with the scorpions face on the chest. It had the scorpions arm on the left and the dragons on the right with the scorpion stinger and the lower torso for the serpent's body.

"Ha, ha, ha I said that you had to withstand my wrath Jak and you'll find out what it's like to live in a shadow!" yelled Torn.
