I do not own the Jak and Daxter series. Jak and Daxter belongs to Sony and is not my property.
I only own 1 OC in this fanfic, that being Wynn D.
It will be in her POV throughout the entirety of the fanfic. With all this out of the way, let's begin.
Once I delivered Krew's Ruby Key to him, I immediately raced my way over to the stadium, using the blue eco from the parked vehicles to race my way there once again, managing to arrive before Jak could! That's how fast I went! "Boo and yah," I smiled at them. "You cheater," Daxter frowned. "Heh. You'd do it too if you could channel eco," I smiled at him. "I probably would've done that," Jak smirked. We then went into the garage to talk to Kiera, where Jak had some words to say to her. "Kiera, I have to tell you something... we found Samos... sort of," Jak frowned. "What do you mean 'sort of'? Did something happen to him?" Kiera asked. "W-Well... he looks much younger first off, and second, he didn't recognize us! He's in the Underground fighting the Baron... but it's almost as if he's a completely different person," Daxter said.
"I'll try and talk to Torn about setting a meeting up between you two after the race, if you don't mind, Kiera," I smiled at her. "Of course. I need to see him... I don't know what's going on in this world anymore," Kiera frowned. "Okay then. Let's go and get ready for our race," I smiled at Jak, both of us going off and to the other side of the garage, just as the computer spoke for us. "Attention all citizens. The Class Three Race is about to begin," it said as we entered the arena part of the stadium and we saw two different vehicles for us to use. I immediately hopped into one while Jak got the other.
"All the contestants are on the starting line! On your marks! Set! GO!" the announcer said over the intercom, her being a female voice that I smiled at. I immediately punched the gas and drove off, jumping my way across other racers until I got a boost, which I immediately used for the first jump. "WOOHOO! ! !" I exclaimed as I jumped over the walls and back down onto the track, turning immediately afterwards to point myself towards the next area, which had a shortcut that led to the next bit of road, just with a large gap in the way. I smiled and risked it, jumping the gap and getting to the other side with zero effort. I then turned a hard left and jumped another gap with ease and kept getting turbos until the first lap was completed. And it was also at this time that Jak was neck and neck with me. "Eat my dust!" Jak smiled as he boosted away to the first place, which I immediately answered back by thrusting forward with another boost I got, rushing past him and getting in first just as we approached the large pit. I jumped over it while Jak had to go the long way from me pushing him off course, which made me smile. "No fair!" Jak exclaimed lightheartedly. "All's fair in love, war, and racing," I smiled at him as I zoomed further and further, getting a lot of ground between me and the second place Jak and Daxter.
I kept going for the rest of the laps until the fifth and final lap, where Jak finally managed to catch up with me and meet up with me just as we got to the final stretch. "You're going down!" I smiled at him. "Says you! WHOO!" Jak smiled as he boosted one final boost and managed to get into first place as I got second just by the skin of my teeth. "Dammit! Good work, Jak. To the winner go the spoils," I smiled at him. I didn't know much about these kinds of Haven races, but I knew one single rule that applied to all class-styled races. If somebody won, all the other contestants were declared losers. So that meant that I was disqualified.
After the race, we went back to the garage to meet up with Kiera, where she looked pleased with Jak getting the first place. "Better luck next time, Wynn," Kiera smiled. "What do you mean by that? I thought I was disqualified after I lost a race?" I asked. "Well, if you'd be racing by yourself, sure. But you two are racing as a team, so you both move on!" Kiera smiled. "Really? Aw sweet!" I smiled happily. "Now about my dad..." Kiera frowned. "Of course, I'll lead you there," I said.
I then grabbed a two-seated Zoomer and both of us got in it, both of us driving off to the Underground hideout and getting there with no problems at all. And once we got there, we saw Torn waiting outside the door with a new face I hadn't seen before. It was a little kid with very short yellow-green hair, an amulet around his neck, and him looking extremely adorable. But other than that, I knew something else about him. I could sense something within him that I had only sensed in Jak prior. The essence of a channeler... but this kid... he had not only an essence of a channeler... he had the exact same essence as Jak's!
"Um... excuse me, I was wondering if my friend could speak with the Shadow," I asked, hoping Torn would allow that. "And why would we allow a non-Underground member to speak with our leader?" Torn frowned. "W-Well... he's my father... I don't know if he'll recognize me, but I just want to see what happened to him... I haven't seen him in so long," Kiera sighed. "You say that you're his daughter? Can you prove this?" Torn asked. "Take it from me, Torn. You said that the leader of the Underground, the Shadow, was a green eco sage, right? Well, Kiera has the essence of a green eco sage locked inside her somewhere," I smiled. "Well, coming from the channeler herself, I guess I should believe you... fine, I'll go ahead and talk to him about this," Torn frowned as he entered the hideout with the kid following suit.
But then, someone else came out of the hideout as Torn went in. It was someone I had never seen before, but I could immediately sense something inside of him. Something that made me very surprised as well as very confused. Dark Eco. The only issue was that... it was all throughout his body... and his body was unlike what I sensed within him. He looked like a very old man with a giant beard and a blue robe, which I didn't get at all. "Um... hello... who the hell are you?" I asked, wondering what was up with the old guy. "Oh, apologies for not introducing myself... my name is Kor," the old man said, his name usage making me gasp inside.
I had heard of the name 'Kor' before from my mother. She said that it was the name of one of the 8 Metal Head leaders across the world, as well as the most malicious of the entire bunch. Kor was said to be completely dark and evil, but also incredibly manipulative and tactful. He could get whatever he wanted through lies and sneaky behavior in order to get somewhere with his plans. There was no doubt in my mind that this Kor here was plotting the Baron's downfall, stealing the Precursor Stone, and even killing everyone in the city! I needed to keep this to myself for the time, otherwise, I'd be a sitting duck for him and his armies. I would be wary of every move he made and would try and sabotage any plans he would give out to harm the city. I knew one that he'd probably try to do no matter what: take down the city shield wall system. If that went down, the place would overflow with Metal Heads.
"Nice to meet you, Kor. My name is Wynn. And this is my friend, Kiera," I smiled as I introduced Kiera as well. "Are you in the Underground?" Kiera asked. "Yes, I am. I need to go off to the Power Plant to speak with Vin," he said as he went over to the zoomer we used to get here and wearily got into it. He sure was doing great at acting as an old man, that much was sure. Eventually, a single person came out of the hideout along with the kid and a small Crocadog, which looked to be very happy with the little guy he was with, but not so much with the other person... who I could immediately sense a nearing of sagehood within him. He was definitely in training to be a Green Eco sage and he was nearing it.
"I-Is that... my father?..." Kiera gawked. "I heard that I had visitors and that one of them claimed to be my daughter? Who was that again? Because I don't recall having a daughter," the green sage said with confusion strewn about his face. "I'm your daughter... and you say you don't recognize me?" Kiera said with sadness on her face. "Sorry kid, never seen ya before," he said. "Excuse me, but... um... Mister Shadow? I am also a Green Eco sage and I can say right now that I can sense your essence inside of Kiera here. You are definitely of the same bloodline, that much is for sure," I admitted truthfully.
"Really?... I don't understand then... unless..." the Shadow said as he tried to think of something. "Unless... what?" Kiera asked. "I've heard from Torn's contacts in the KG that a certain very old man with a bitter mouth is inside of the Baron's fortress prison because of him being arrested for hitting a guard with a stick. He's been there for just as long as that Jak character... I don't know why I think this, but I believe that that person may be your real father... almost like an elder time twin or something," the Shadow said. "Well, looks like I've got a new job to do in my KG disguise. Rescue this old coot," I said with a smile as Jak and Daxter eventually came by. "You want a ride back to the stadium, Kiera?" I asked her. "No, I can make it back on my own. Just please, I beg you, rescue my father before they do those horrid experiments on him next!" Kiera exclaimed at me.
"Good hunting! As for you two, I have a job for you that I could use some help with," Samos smiled at Jak and Daxter as I put on my KG disguise and jumped into the air with my blue eco reserves, rushing over to an elevated part of the prison so that I could try and sense for something within. Green Sage essence. I eventually sniffed it out on the western corridor, which I had to bust in through an open window in order to get inside, where I saw that it was a corridor with some guards going through, but luckily, none of them saw me enter.
I immediately blended into the crowd as I made my way towards the western corridor, passing by a lot of different cells filled with different people in them. Some had adults, some had elderly people, a few were Lurkers, and I even saw a few teenagers huddled up in corners. But then there was one person that I didn't expect to see in the worst room of them all, which was along with the Green Sage. It was one essence I could never forget. "Mom?" I gasped with only air as I saw some guards approach her cell door and opened it up, the woman inside being extremely worried and trying to put up a fight. My mom was always feisty and this was no exception.
The guards then took her over to some strange device that I knew I had to save her from. It was a chair that had a needle above it. And what was in that needle? A huge supply of dark eco! "Um, excuse me? What are you doing?" I asked the two guards curiously as I approached them. "Baron Praxis said that we need to get another Dark Warrior to help us out. And we happened to find this woman snooping around the palace entrance. Perfect candidate," the one guard said. "How in any way, shape, or form, gives you assholes any right to arrest her and torture her with this horrid contraption?" I growled at them. "Stand down, soldier, or we'll have to cite you for insubordination," the one guard said. "Oh yeah?" I frowned as I did something from something in my pack I didn't expect to use now of all places. My Dark Eco reservoir.
I absorbed it into my body and just like that, my nails lengthened into razor sharp claws. "INSUBORDINATE THIS!" I exclaimed as I swiped the one claw across the one guard's face and stabbed the other one directly in the crotch before I broke mom free from the shackles she was placed in. "I-Is that you, Wynn?" she asked with genuine concern. "What are you doing here, mom? You know I could take care of myself," I frowned at her as I got her out of the chair and rushed over to the cell with the Green Sage locked within and opened it up. "Excuse me? Green Eco Sage? I'm here to rescue you," I said to him, wondering what he looked like. "It's about damn time! I grew six rings just waiting for someone decent to come around!" the old guy said as he exited, him obviously being exactly like the younger version of himself, except with thick glasses, a rougher looking log on his head, more facial hair, and him looking more to be in his 60's or 70's. "Okay, let's get out of here the way I came in," I said to them as I led our trio over to a nearby window and we jumped out, me having to grow a giant flower for padding as we fell.
"You saved my life... I can't thank you enough, W-W-WERGGH..." my mom said as something suddenly happened to her that I didn't expect. Her body started to get spastic and her skin started to turn bright purple, her eyes blacking out and devil horns to grow atop her head. "MOM!" I exclaimed as I dropped her and Samos looked at her with extreme worry. "By the Precursors..." he gawked. "Mom! Snap out of it!" I said as I grabbed hold of her, hoping she'd listen to me. "Rgh... W-Wynn... W-What's... happening... to me?" mom growled as she tried to fight something inside of her. "What's going on? Are you in pain?" I asked her. "T-The voices... t-they're telling me to do... abhorrent things!... No! I'm not going to hurt her! She's my DAUGHTER!" mom exclaimed before she finally recovered, falling to the ground and reverting back to normal. "Mom... how many times did you go to that chair before I got there?" I asked her.
"Three times... once per day..." my mother sighed in exhaustion. "We need to get you somewhere for medical help and fast," the old guy said as he and I rushed over to a 3 seated Zoomer and I drove us to the Underground Hideout, which was only a short drive away. "Okay, we'll need the Shadow's help with this... and Green Sage?" I asked. "My name is Samos, young one," he said. "Samos... the Shadow appears to be a younger version of yourself... just don't fight with him, okay? And after we're done here, I need to take you to see your daughter," I said. "You know where Kiera is?" Samos gasped. "Yes. But my mother needs help before we can go talk to her," I frowned. "Agreed," Samos sighed.
