"So Daxter tells us you two can talk in your minds." Samos said. After being interrupted by Kiera, Jak and I had walked inside to bouncing Daxter, an upset Kiera, and a reprimanding Samos. "Why didn't you tell us? This could've been a lot of help to us."

"Well, we were just figuring it out ourselves." I said quietly. I looked to Jak for help, but he just shrugged.

"Well prove that you can! Have Jak tell you something to say that you wouldn't know." Kiera demanded harshly.

I looked over at Jak again and I could tell he was thinking. "He's thinking."

"You know Daddy, I don't they can really do this." Kiera loudly whispered to her father.

"Hush, Kiera. Let the boy think."

I shot a death glare at Kiera just a second before I heard Jak say, 'Aha! Tell her I said to remember that time that we made mud pies together and we dared each other to eat it until we both got sick. Then Samos came out and grounded us both?'

I recited it to Kiera, Samos, and Daxter, who had been surprisingly quiet. Kiera looked put out, Daxter was still bouncing up in down in excitement, and Samos had a look of awe.

"I'll be in my room." Kiera said huffily before marching downstairs.

"Kiera wait!" I yelled before running after her. I didn't want her to be mad at me. We could've been great friends, has I not gone and screwed it up. "Kiera!" I said as I grabbed her shoulder, successfully stopping her previous plans to slam the door in my face.

"Just go away, Maddy. I don't want to talk to you."

"No, wait, Kiera. Let me explain!"

"Don't bother. I don't want to know."

But . . ." I got cut off as she roughly dragged me into the room and shut the door.

"No, Maddy. No buts. He was supposed to be mine. He was going to be mine!" She shouted at me.

"Kiera . . ."

"Shut up, Maddy. Who are you to tell me what to do!" She was still screaming and I was sure the guys up stairs could hear us. "Who are you in the first place? Here I have been, going after Jak for years, and you show up and take that all away! You should have stayed in New Haven. We should have just left you!" She spit in my face, and that set me off.

"OK Kiera! You really want to go there?" I got up and shoved my face in hers, ignoring the remark about New Haven. I was too far gone to even ponder this. "Do you really think I wanted to steal the guy you liked? Do you really think that I hate you so much that I would have to steal the one thing that you think you love in this world? I didn't plan on taking him, Kiera. It just happened!"

"This time she shoved her face in mine but I refused to back down. "OH it just happened did it? It just happened?" She screeched at me.

I reached up to brush the hair that had been hanging in my face over my shoulder. I didn't think about it. 'That was a bad move Maddy.' I heard Jak say in my head. Just as I was forming the question, Kiera saw the dark red / purple mark that Jak had left on my shoulder only an hour ago, and her eyes bugged out.

"He's MINE, Maddy! Get it in your head! He will always be mine! You can't have him!" Kiera screeched, so high I felt like I couldn't hear it. She threw her body at me, which was a bad mistake. After training with Jak and Daxter, my body had become equip with taking down monsters a lot bigger than her petite form.

As she flew at me, I reached out my arm, grabbed her shoulder, and threw her down on the bed. When she got up, she didn't try again, but started analyzing her situation. She knew I could hurt her if I tried.

"Maddy. I know where you are from. I know that you don't belong here. I know what you are. I also know that you are the one who is going to destroy the world one day. It's going to be you. You're going to be the ultimate doom for the world. You, Nikki. You." She said it so quietly I almost didn't hear. 'Nikki? Who's Nikki?' I thought. "Now get out of my room before I seriously hurt you."

I laughed. "Do you really think you can hurt me, Kiera?"

"No. But I will try. I blame you for everything that has happened. It's your entire fault."

"What's my fault? That the guy you like doesn't like you? That the world is ending because a boy fell in some Dark Eco? That I'm here in the first place?" I yelled.

"Yes. Maddy. It's all your fault. All of it. Everything that has happened. You should have stayed in New Haven, but no! You had to follow us and get lost in that Vortex. The world would be ok if you had just stayed and done what you were told. Not be a pesky kid and try to go into things you weren't supposed to be in!" She yelled back at me. I didn't understand anything she had just said. She must be going insane; saying things I had done things that I hadn't really done.

"Maddy. You've triggered the Ending by coming here. Why couldn't you just let things stay the way they were? Without ruining them like you always do!"

I was automatically mad again. "Do you really think I want to end the world? Do you think I intended to fall into another world? Do really think so lowly of me that you think I want to destroy everything here?" My voice was low and menacing, and I glared at her one more time before walking out of the door.

O.o.O

Everything in the Precursor Basin was so much easier when I was angry. In a matter of minutes I had taken out the Dark Eco plants, and was heading on to do the race that the Gambler had asked me to do.

After walking out of the hut, I had gone and talked to the Gambler and the mopey hero. I had given the hero 90 Precursor Orbs so that Jak, who I had seen walking up the path, could go to the Lost Precursor City, which it looked like he had been planning to do.

'Maddy.' I heard in my head, but I ignored it with an "I need to finish the Precursor Basin…"

Back to the present as I broke through the banner that signaled the end of the race, I looked to see that I had beaten the previous record. Time for the Accelerator rings.

The challenge wasn't that hard, and the time I wanted time to slow, everything went by too fast. I was dreading the next moment I would see Kiera, because to be honest, I was scared of her. In the games themselves, Kiera had not seemed like someone mean or anything. Or at least in the first game, anyway. But she was viscious.

But oh too soon, I hear Kiera's communicator, not Kiera but Samos, telling me to come back so we can have a 'chat'. 'This can't be good…' I thought.
