The demons that had seemed dead for so long shot through the tunnels even through the one was blocked off. The un-known demon stood in front of the stachew as the three Dragon's and the Censor joined them. The stachew witch was crumbling, a slim figure shot off with a green glow to it. As it came back down it looked to be neither man nor woman as its long black robe fallowed it while its white hair flowed behind it while its staff witch it held was silver and sharp as it protected the green gem inside its chest. The unknown figure had a blindfold over its eyes as its gray skin moved in many spots. The demons crowded around the figure as to protect it.
"Please, this is not me, Faith, thank you for the wonderful powers, I much appreciate them." The figure said in a manly voice smiling his black lips.
"BULL! I didn't give you anything, your demons stole them from me! I want my life source back now! Give it up, we kicked your demons asses before and we can do it again! I'm sure you're just protected by them so you shouldn't be that hard to take down." Faith roared at the figure.
"Oh, my dear your sadly mistaken, these beauties are from me, there just one part of me, if you want your life back you have to pry it from my dead cold body!"
"I would be happy too!"
"Don't be so sure about your self my dear…"
As he finished the sentence the demons in witch were from him were quickly retuned to his body. The once slim figure turned to soft metal at parts as it grew larger, a long snout grew from the thin face as his arms grew larger and claws grew far from his finger tips. His body turned to almost large hooves as the dragons tail shot out with larger spikes on the end. Its white hair became censor like but still as hair like whips with the blind fold quickly falling off, revealing its pure white eyes. Flicking its staff forward a force field was thrown up, tossing Jak and Daxter away from the demon and Faith.
"Oh, crap…" She mumbled realizing she had to fight the demon alone.
"Dear, if you haven't figured it out, I'm a chimera of the strongest kind, do you still want to fight me?" The chimera spoke loudly.
"Yes, I'll do whatever it takes to get my life back." She spoke as the cracks slightly grew.
"Dear, all you have to do is let me take all your powers and I'll let you free to live a normal life."
"No…" She spoke nervously as she knew what was sure to be coming soon.
"Dear, why not?"
"…"
"Fine be that way." The chimera said throwing the first punch.
Faith tried blocking it but was quickly thrown to the force filed shocking her to the ground. Daxter almost instinctively went to help Faith but was pulled back quickly.
"What?" Daxter mumbled.
"If you didn't just notice that, the field throws electric shocks if you touch it, Faith can only live through them because she's made of magic, you would be stricken dead." Jak mumbled back still holding Daxter.
Shaking it off she got back up to receive another hit by a whip made of dense hair. Getting fed up in-between punches and whips she pulled out her only sword to have it griped with her fist on it. The chimera smiled holding her up high in the air, crushing the sword into dust shattering the bones in her hand. With a yelp of pain the chimera poked and prodded at the bullet holes in her chest.
"Darling, you just need to give me your powers then I'll let you be free…"
"If I did that I would die instantly…"
"Oh my, well that's just too bad, I'll just kill you then take your powers that way." He said as he threw her into the ground making the stones of the floor rise around her.
Picking her up again and again throwing her into the ground.
"Little girl, then just give up your life so I can take the powers…"
Faith fell silent from being held in the air looking limp. It was silent again, the chimera smiled a bit as his hopes seemed to be true. Shaking her slightly and hitting her softly with his whip like hair, she didn't move on her own, bones seeming shattered and out of blood.
Jak and Daxter stood on the other side of the force field shocked to the sight of Faith dead. After a moment looking closely her hand twitched towards the pack of enchanted stones on her belt.
Pulling one out she threw it in the chimeras face making him drop her.
"If you haven't heard the stories back in the magic realm I can't die when I'm like this until I run out of time."
"Witch you only have minutes of." The chimera said sitting up wiping the fire stone from his eyes.
"What?"
"I knew you were going to die after a little while, so I pulled this, I've always wanted to be the strongest there ever was, so I came after you my dear."
Faith unleashed the powers she had little of. She turned back into the full black demon a red stone for eyes and split in half heart stone on each hand while the light stone was split in half like spikes on her feet as an empty hole was in the middle of her chest. The cracks quickly began to take the black demon as she charged at the chimera. With a swift dark punch a hole was blown in the side of the beast making blood flow yet again.
"Lucky shot there girly."
"It's not luck, its skill, and a little love…"
"How pathetic, beings like you and I don't love, never have never will."
"Shut up, you don't know what you're talking about, your only weak because you don't have what I have."
"That would be?"
"It would be good friends, and a little faith."
She said punching at him once again all the power of the stones flowing into the punch, but at the last moment the black demon shattering making the punch weak near the crystal of a tear drop witch was her last chance to live. The chimera knocked her back as the cracks grew fast again.
"Why shouldn't I just watch you suffer and then eat the sand?"
"Because, I will have killed you by then."
"Look at your self, your immobilized you cant go anywhere."
"I can't but they can…" She said in pain as a stone of disability was pushed into the force field making it fall.
The chimera looked up to have bullets meet his head, going straight through. The chimera squealed in pain as if fell back. With out much thought the beast through its tail wildly about the floor nearly knocking all three of them over.
"Its over chimera, you can sure fight, but you can't take a hit well, your truly are just as human as me!" Faith roared as the cracks grew faster.
The chimera began to evaporate back to were it belonged as it screamed.
"Faith, I will find you some were else one day and will KILL YOU!" As its body disappeared leaving a heart of darkness, dragon horns, censor's and the final stone to save her life.
She fell back to the ground as the enchanted sand began to pore from the cracks in her skin. Jak quickly ran over to where the chimera once lay and threw the stone back over to Daxter. Faith took it barely crushing it over the wounds in her chest. The sand stopped but so did she. Nothing seemed to move after that. The wounds shut but she stopped no pulse and no breathing. Daxter leaned over her as he saw the cracks return to her normal soft skin.
"Did, she die?" Daxter wondered.
"I'm not sure, she shouldn't have if what she said was true." Jak said sitting down to were Daxter sat.
"Doesn't this normally happen if she faints?"
"No, she just slows down, she doesn't die."
"So, that means, she really is dead."
"No, knowing Faith, I'm positive this will all end soon." He said lying through his teeth as well with doubt.
After a long time she still did not move and the temple began to crack and crumble. Hearing the noise they grabbed Faith's body and darted out as everything fell behind them. The temple began to fall faster and faster catching up to them the exit still a long way away. As the rubble came to hitting heal a red portal shot in front of them slipping into it.
Opening there eyes again the desert showed. The metal door behind them caved in as did all the rest of the desert, were the temple once lay beneath the sand.
"What just happened?" Daxter wondered looking at the giant hole now in the desert.
"I made us teleport…" Faith mumbled opening her eyes.
"Faith?" Jak wondered.
"Yeah, I'm fine now…" She said sitting up dizzy.
"What happened to you?" Daxter wondered.
"I needed to heal my self, so I killed my self temporarily."
"YOU KILLED YOUR SELF?!" They both yelled.
"Yeah, why is that not normal?"
"Yes, in-fact that's not even human!" Daxter said falling forward.
"Oh yeah, sorry I forget these things a lot. Can we go home, I'm tired of the desert, that's enough of that for one week…" Faith said passing out again.
"I'm sure we can…" Jak said picking her up again walking off.
