Note: Due to something happening, this took longer than I expected. I was supposed to update this on my birthday, February 7th, but I was busy with school and catching up on the CBS drama, Cold Case.
Last time on Jak 2: Teenagers of Haven City…
Oh great, Kanji is back and now has Lisa… again… I swear to God, that girl is accident prone and a danger magnet… I hope she didn't hear that. Jak's taking it hard and now Kato's dead. Things aren't looking to great for the good guys.
When is it ever great for us?
Shut up, Daxter.
No, seriously. When was it ever great?
Anyways, now we got about…2…5…six people being P.O.W.'s. What's the worse that could happen?
Chapter 25
Save Tonight & Aishiteru
Jak couldn't move. He couldn't hear. Everything around went as a blur. He remembered Markus grabbing him and hauling him away to the Underground carrier. Daxter tried to snap him out of his trance. Michelle and Neko had tried to get him to show that he was conscious, but his blue eyes were empty.
Inside his mind, Jak stood alone in the dark abyss as he and his other half stood in beams of light. Jak was kneeling on the floor, staring down at the MP3 player in his hand as Dark had his arms folded as he stared down at his counterpart.
"Suck it up," he said. "This isn't you."
"She told me to stay away…"
Dark scoffed as he stepped out of the light for awhile before walking back in it. "You have to be fucking with me, punk. You are acting like a complete pussy right now."
"Shut up…"
"You used to act like a tough guy and now you're acting like puppy that got no home," Dark kept talking as he just stood, refolding his arms again. He started to chuckle as he started fade away. "I'm going to take over, since you're becoming less and less of the hero she expects you to be."
He then vanished, leaving Jak in the dark.

Day 8, 2:29 a.m.
"I really can't believe this is happening," Neko said as she petted Daxter's furry head. Michelle scratched her head as she took off her glasses and massaged the bridge of her nose.
"This is the most surreal experience I have ever been in," Michelle said as she sat on the bed. Markus was sleeping in it, his back turned away from everyone. Amy stood near them with Kato's face mask in her hand.
"She was right though," Amy stated as she looked at them. When they looked back at her, she continued. "Everyone is dying around her."
They all sighed in despair as a moment of silence surrounded them.
"You guys do know that every time you sigh, you lose a bit of happiness."
Everyone turned to look that Dark had replaced where Jak was sitting. The man's hair was sleeked forward as he brushed some of the hair from his eyes. He also placed the MP3 player in his pocket.
"What the hell happened to Jak," Michelle demanded as she had her hand ready to pull out her gun.
"Oh look at you people," He laughed as he placed his hands on his hips. "I bet you never ever fought with people that were out to kill you."
"Answer the question!" Michelle shouted, pulling the hammer back and her finger on the trigger. Dark laughed and said, "Hero ain't coming out to play anymore, or at least I think he isn't."
"What did you do to him?" Daxter demanded, grabbing the color of his shirt, his furry face in his.
"I should really blame the girl you two are so bent on finding, since she's the reason. Maybe if she did die, he would be back in the hero business."
"Stop that nonsense, Dark."
Everyone turned to see Sakura as she entered the room along with Torn. Torn' expression looked a bit pissed as he walked toward Dark and without warning, punch his face. The Dark Eco freak fell back as he landed down on the cold floor, his cheek turning red.
Cringing slightly, Dark slowly sat up and held his cheek in pain. He then glared at the Underground Commander and shouted, "What the hell was that for?"
"Stop acting like a bad ass and do some work!"
"You're not the boss of me!" Dark shouted as he stood up, his eyes were filled with bitterness. "I might have worked with you before, but I work solo now!"
"And that isn't your vessel, so that kid still works for me," Torn said before throwing a communicator at his face. It made contact, causing Dark to fall backwards into the ground again.
Michelle started laughing as Neko just stared, her hand over her mouth in shock. Daxter quickly caught the communicator when it went into the air when Dark's head connected to the ground.
Daxter opened it to see that Samos's face appeared, making him flinch back in fear. "Ew! I never knew that was on your photo album, Torn."
"That's your communicator, idiot!" Torn yelled before Samos's voice echoed from the hearing device.
"We need Jak over here right now!"
Michelle knelt down and took the communicator, putting it to her ear like L from Death Note. "Why Jak, sir?"
"We had taken the stones he had gotten from the ruins and found Mar's tomb. We'll be waiting at the entrance. Jak should know where it is."
Everyone stared at Dark who noticed the eyes. Stepping back, he waved his hands in front of him and said, "I wasn't awake when that happened, kids."
Sakura then walked toward Dark and took out her staff. She began to flip it around until it turned into a large blue electric guitar. Dropping the bottom of it on the floor, she held on to the strings as she then pulled a string that was behind it, making it rev.
Michelle pulled Daxter out of the way as Dark looked at everyone getting away from him. "Eh? Wh-what's going on?"
"Here I go!"
Looking at Sakura, he only got a second of her face before his made contact with her guitar, causing him to fly back into the doors. Sadly, it opened with Mango coming in with a white box. Not reacting fast enough, Dark fell into him as they both fell into the stairs.
"Get this guy off of me!" Mango demanded, trying to push Dark's heavy body. Neko then noticed that his hair had changed back to blonde as Jak rolled off, holding his head.
"What the hell hit me?" he groaned out as Mango stood up, dusting himself off and grabbing the white box.
"You better get that other self of yours under control, punk," Torn ordered as he went back to his post behind the table. Mango followed and handed him the white box.
Jak slowly stood up only to be dragged by Michelle as they headed out to where Samos was waiting.

Day 8, 2:59 a.m.
Duo sat next to Amagi's pet stall, both just being quiet as people walked by in the Bazaar. The young mechanic watched as he saw the old man feed some of the animals. Duo was holding Kanji's face mask as he waited patiently for the right time to return it to Amagi.
"Just leave it on the counter, Duo."
The young mechanic looked up to see that Amagi was still feeding the birds, but he was at least acknowledging his presence. Duo quickly stood up and stared at Amagi. The old man's back was facing him.
He was about to speak, but quickly went against it as he softly placed the face mask on the table. Duo then started walking away, pausing for a few seconds to see if Amagi would speak.
He didn't so he just left the Bazaar.
As he got closer to his shop, his communicator came to life, ringing. Grabbing it and turning it on, he saw Keira's face and she seemed really mad.
"Have you seen my driver, Duo?"
"Which one?"
"The one that works for Krew, where is that prick?"
Duo unaudibly sighed and replied, "He's probably doing some job for him or something. I'll try to find him and tell him… what am I supposed to tell him?"
"The first race is going to start tomorrow and he's dilly dallying!"
The last part of the message was loud as was the click. Duo checked if he was deaf, snapping his fingers near his ears. "God… I hope Neko isn't like this."
- - - -
Day 8, 3:07 a.m.
"Why the hell do we have to go now?" Neko whined. Apparently, they didn't have any sleep after what had happened hours ago. Jak was driving the two-seated zoomer with Daxter on his shoulder and Neko and Michelle sharing a seat.
"Damn it, Neko!" Michelle shouted, trying to push the girl. "Your bony ass is hurting me!"
"You know you love it!" Neko snapped back with a sneer. They both quickly went quiet when they saw Daxter and Jak staring at them awkwardly. Neko quickly sat in the middle where there was a large metal pipe connecting the two seats while Michelle just looked down below them.
Jak looked back on the road while Daxter said, "We don't even want to know, sisters."
"And who says we'll tell you?" Neko jeered as the two girls high fived and pointed at Daxter accusingly.
Jak shook his head as he then noticed that they were being followed. Silently signaling Daxter, his furry friend looked back to see…
"Crap! It's Lucas!"
Michelle turned around to see that Markus's twin brother was indeed chasing them. She nearly fell off when Jak sped up, passing below a slow moving zoomer and through the pedestrians.
"Warn a girl, wouldja?" Michelle scolded as she held on to the pipe she sat on, holding her eyeglasses in place. Neko nearly fell out of her seat when Jak made a hard left turn.
"This city is a freaking danger zone! Where's the seat belt on this thing?" Neko's scream echoed through the Slums.

Day 8, 3:28 a.m.
Lisa was thrown into a cell in the Prison, her back connecting to the wall before she slid down to sit on the floor. The door closed, leaving her alone with Kanji. She looked at him with glare as she quickly stood and punched his stomach, catching him off by surprise.
As he bent down to hold his stomach with his right arm, she jumped back and got into a fighting stance. Kanji slowly stood up, wincing at the slight pain.
"That was a stupid move, little girl."
He brought his hand up, ready to strike. Lisa closed her eyes, waiting for the oncoming pain.
"Don't do it, father!"
Lisa peeked and noticed that someone was holding him back. Opening her eyes fully, she saw Markus pulling his father away from the cell before throwing him out.
"Markus…" she spoke in disbelief as he motioned her to stay close. She quickly stood behind him, grabbing a hold of the hem of his vest.
"I heard that you've turned traitor, my son," Kanji said, standing up and threw off his cloak. "But I never knew you would have the guts to go against me. I would praise you if you weren't such a hero."
"You were a hero too, father! Stop this and stop hurting Lisa!"
- - - -
Vanessa woke up to the sounds of people snapping at each other. Groaning and placing the pillow over her head, she still heard the loud shouting through the head rest. Finally anger took over as she jumped out of the bed, nearly tripping over Bryan as she went to the bars and shouted, "Hey! Shut the hell up already!"
As she stared at the two men still shouting at each other, she noticed a girl behind the red haired one. The girl seemed oddly familiar as she soon realized who it was.
"OMFG… Bryan, wake up!"
She jumped on the Mexican boy's stomach, causing to jolt out of his sleep and choke on his breath. Regaining his breathing, he glared at long haired girl and said, "God, Vanessa. Why did you do that?"
"Lisa's here!" Bryan quickly jumped up and looked through the bars, seeing indeed said Filipino.
"Aw man! Merry's going to be so pissed when she sees this," Bryan said, glancing at the now waking girl who was rubbing her eyes.
"What the hell are you guys rambling about?" She muttered, walking over to the door to look through the bars. Vanessa quickly pushed her back and said, "Uh… nothing! It's absolutely nothing! Just some guy getting electrocuted again!"
This made the Asian girl's curiosity go up as she quirked an eyebrow and folded her arms. "Don't lie to me guys."
"I told you not to exaggerate when trying to fib, Vanessa," Bryan said.
"Let go of me!"
Merry's eyes widened as she pushed the two out of the way and looked through the bars. Through them, she saw Lisa being pulled away by a long haired man while a red haired one was being held back by two Krimzon Guards.
- - - -
"Let me go!" Lisa shouted again as she kept clawing at Kanji's grip. Thank God that she hadn't clipped her nails recently.
As she kept clawing at the hand, she then heard a loud explosion. Looking over to one of the cells, it was a bit foggy due to the lack of cleaning and dusting. When the dust cleared, she saw the three most unlikely people to see here of all places.
"Merry? Vanessa? Bryan?! What are you doing here?" she exclaimed.
They didn't say anything as Bryan quickly ran toward her, jumping and kicked Kanji in the chest. The man quickly released his grip and nearly fell down into the long pit that surrounded the experimental lab.
The Mexican boy then punched the floor and started lifting it. Merry quickly grabbed Ta-kun who was still unconscious while Vanessa pulled Lisa away from what was going to happen.
Markus quickly knocked the guards and quickly followed them out of the prison, leaving Bryan to fight Kanji.
The Mexican boy then created a dark dome around him and Kanji. "Get ready," Bryan spoke in an almost demonic voice.
Kanji quirked his eyebrows in curiosity as Bryan then charged at him. "Fight!"
- - - -
"How the hell did you guys get here?" Lisa shouted.
Merry soon released Ta-kun as Markus carried her. Once outside in the large streets of the Slums, Merry and Vanessa quickly hugged the Filipino as they started laughing, shouting out that they were finally free.
Lisa slowly shrugged out of their grips as she asked, "Who did you guys get here? I remember you and Ta-kun heading to Matt's place and Vanessa, you left my house before we got here."
"Do you mean Neko, Annie, and Michelle are here too?" Merry spoke in shock.
Lisa looked down in despair as Markus spoke for her. "Annie isn't here anymore…"
Vanessa just looked at him before glancing at Lisa as her friend's body was slightly shaking. She was about to pat her back to comfort her when they saw Bryan being thrown out into the street and into Merry. Both fell into the dirt as Bryan quickly got up, cursing about how his opponent didn't know the concept of Mortal Kombat.
Kanji jumped out of the now demolished doors as he looked over to his challenger. "That was a nice trick you did," the man commented. "You created an illusion of demons to fight with and against you."
"Just a trick I've been working since I got here two years ago," Bryan replied before he punched his fist into his palm, ready to fight again.
"Two years?" Lisa looked at Merry and Vanessa. The long haired girl held her hands up in defense and said, "Hey, I was here for only a few days."
"We'll explain later, but now we have to get to wherever it is safe." Merry suggested. She then nodded to Bryan who nodded back as he looked at Kanji.
He shot his palm at him, letting out a metal chain at Kanji. It unexpectedly wrapped around him as Bryan pulled the chain and shouted, "Come here!"
While running, Vanessa looked at Merry and said, "You better make sure you take away his games when we get back." She then looked at Lisa who was close to Markus and asked, "How'd you get there anyways?"
"I got kidnapped," the Filipino bluntly stated, causing Merry to skid to a halt and shout, "What?! Michelle and Neko are here, and they didn't protect you?! I'm going to kill those bitches!"
"Wait up!"
Lisa turned around to see Mango and what looked like to be the older version of Samos. As soon as they got a safe distance from the oncoming small destruction of the alley, Lisa quickly hugged the Underground soldier.
"Thank god you're alive!"
He nodded and looked over to the older Samos. "We had better get back to the base. I bet your friends will be happy to everyone all together."
Merry: Yeah! We're here!
Ta-kun: Why am I unconscious?
Vanessa: You could have slept in. I mean, it is like… what it say now in there time?
Bryan: It says "Day 8, 4:07 a.m."
Vanessa: See?
Ta-kun: Fine… I see your point…
- - - -
Day 8, 4:08 a.m.
Bryan: We already told the time!
Lisa: Hey, clock changes so we update!
Merry: Yeah, and stop yelling at her!
"How the hell did it come to this?" Michelle asked as she and Neko had their hands up, guns pointed at them, Jak, Samos, the Kid, and Kor.
"I blame for Markus's brother," Neko suggested as she glared at the black haired boy. Lucas just scoffed it off as he walked toward them, grabbing the young boy.
"Hey! Leave him alone!" Michelle shouted, as she was about to charge at him when one of the KG hit her in the stomach with the edge of the rod that was flat. She fell to the floor, holding her stomach as she cringed in pain.
Lucas climbed on to the zoomer as he placed the boy in front of him. Looking at them, he said to the guards, "Dispose of them."
As he drove off, the guards began to close in on them. Jak then did the only thing he could think of at the moment; he grabbed Daxter off his shoulders and hurled him at one of the guards. Everyone was caught by surprised as Daxter threatened Jak that he would get him for this before he collided with the guards face.
The KG started panicking as he seemed to be… what?
Michelle: Am I reading this right?
Lisa: Are you sure this is okay?
Neko: I guess this is supposed to make up for something… but what?
Michelle: -shrugs- I really don't care because this guy is…
The KG started panicking as he seemed to be afraid of furry animals. The man kept trying to claw the creature off his face, but Daxter kept scurrying around him.
"Go!" Jak ordered as he, Michelle, and Neko charged at the guards.
- - - -
Day 8, 4:23 a.m.
Bryan was pushed back in to a building before thrown into a ditch. Rolling over, he clutched his back as he looked above, seeing Kanji staring down at him with dissatisfaction.
Michelle: …
Neko: …
Lisa: -rolls eyes- No, he didn't rape him.
"Nice magic tricks, but they are useless."
He then left the ditch, heading toward the direction the small group went down. Bryan laid in the ditch as he sighed and laid on his back, looking at the blue sky. "That guy still didn't do a fatality…"
- - - -
Day 8, 4:59 a.m.
Lisa soon recognized the L-shaped alley as she let go of Merry's hand and run inside. As the doors slid open halfway, she slid through and entered into the Underground HQ. She didn't hesitate when she saw Torn's back turn to her, noticing that the door had opened.
Amy was about to announce that she had come back, but Lisa quickly glomped Torn from the back. "Hiya, Torn-kun!"
"What the hell?" the UG Commander exclaimed as he turned his head to look down at the beaming face of the Filipino. Sakura squealed happily as she held out her arms. Being in a really happy mood, Lisa quickly hugged her as the woman held her close.
Looking at the door, Torn saw Markus place a girl on a bunk as two others sat near her. He then also noticed an older version of his leading commander as he was about to question about the sudden change in appearance.
"That was seriously the best way to deal with my frustration."
Markus turned to look as Michelle entered the room with Neko and Jak. Daxter was barely hanging on to his friend's scarf as he looked like all his fur was about to fall off.
Jak was about to talk to his childhood friend when his face was silenced by a small furry paw. "I don't want to talk to you for the rest of the morning," Daxter stated as he jumped off his friend's shoulder and landed on the nearest top bunk. "I'm going to sleep and dream that this was all just a stupid nightmare."
As he lost sight of his friend on the bunk, he turned to see a familiar face staring back at him. "Merry?" he questioned as he walked over to her.
"Holy crap," she muttered as she stood up. She then hugged the man as she said, "I can't believe it! You're really making a name for yourself."
"Say what?" Jak said with a slight ghetto tone.
"The guards at the prison kept talking about some blonde boy making trouble for the Baron," the girl with really long hair spoke. "I guess you're the infamous Jak."
"What do you mean?" Jak asked again. Neko and Michelle sighed as the Mexican noticed that everyone excluding Sakura, Markus, Merry, Vanessa, and Lisa were giving them confused looks.
"We better go outside for this." Neko suggested as she led all that needed to hear out to the L-shaped alley. Jak turned to look at the beaming Filipino, seeing that her attention was toward her birth mother and brother. He then headed outside as the door closed behind him.
- - - -
"Mother," Markus spoke once the doors closed, leaving the three of them alone with a sleeping girl and Ottsel on the bunks. "Father has begun making irrational decisions. Lucas is planning to side with the Metal Head Leader."
"You mean he has sided with the Metal Head Leader," Sakura corrected him, pushing the girl off softly so she stood beside her. "You must know has happened at the tomb."
Markus nodded and said, "We better get these girls away from this world before it's too late."
Sakura hesitantly nodded as she turned to Lisa. "Do you remember how you and your friends got here, dear?"
- - - -
Day 8, 5:09 a.m.
"So you guys are really from some alternate realm?" Mango repeated in a more understandable statement. Michelle slightly glared at him as he spoke again. "Hey! A few weeks with pirate man and I still can't get half the crap he says."
"His name is Jack Sparrow!" Michelle exclaimed in anger before she came face to face with Vanessa.
"Captain Jack Sparrow, remember?" Vanessa reminded her friend before the younger Samos spoke.
"That could explain about the prison sudden having a lot of occupants that seemed to appear out of thin air."
Merry nodded her head before Michelle looked at her with curiousity. "What is it?" she asked.
"When did you get here?" the Mexican asked.
The Asian sighed before looking at her two friends before replying. "I've been here for nearly two years."
Michelle and Neko just exclaimed in shock as they stared at her with disbelief. Vanessa also stared at her, hearing this for the first time.
"We met back when Jak looked… innocent." Jak just brushed it off; his mind seemed to be somewhere else. "Ta-kun and Daxter escaped while we got arrested. I still don't know why we even had to go there."
"They needed test subjects. It was that obvious." Vanessa reminded her dully. Merry laughed nervously while Michelle and Neko shook their heads.
Jak then stepped forward as he asked, "How is it that you knew me when you first saw me?"
Michelle looked alarmed as she glanced over at Merry. The Asian looked ashamed, not wanting to tell the reason. Michelle saw that everyone was looking impatient.
"Maybe…" Michelle looked over to Neko who spoke. "Maybe we should tell them, about everything."
"With everything that has happened, the events could have changed completely," Michelle reasoned with her friend.
"Wait! You guys are future seers like Onin?" Mango spoke aloud but was hit in the back of the head by Torn. "Don't speak, just listen."
"Yes sir…"
Vanessa pointed at Mango and said, "I didn't know this guy was in the game."
Michelle sighed for what seemed like the fifth time this whole night. "It's because he isn't. He shouldn't even exist."
"What? Game?" Amy repeated. "What are you saying?"
"This is all supposed to be a video game," Vanessa finally stated, causing all of them to look at her. "You're all just some make believe characters. At least tell me we are dreaming all this up!"
Jak looked at her before glancing at Michelle and Neko. The African looked away while Michelle just placed her hands in her pants pockets, looking down. Merry held her left arm as she glanced over to the door. "You have to be kidding, right?" Jak asked.
Mango then spoke, "I knew you were from some other world, but I never knew it would be a world that thought we aren't real!"
"Lisa! Wait!"
Everyone looked over to the door to see that the Filipino ran out of the base in new attire, her face shadowed by her hair. Markus left the base to follow her but Lisa pushed crates behind her, causing the red haired man to fall on them.
"Where the hell is she going?" Neko asked as Sakura got out.
"We were going to figure out a way to get all back home, but she didn't want to leave. After we got her in different clothes, I told her that she would be in a better world than this and then she just ran out of here."
Markus got up to see the girl had disappeared into the streets. "We have to find her before Lucas or Kanji does," he suggested as he dusted himself.
- - - -
Day 8, 5:17 a.m.
Bryan was now wandering in the Bazaar, as he seemed to completely forget where the UG headquarters was; he gave up and did some vendor shopping. Looking around, he saw a teenage boy walking with his head down.
"Hey!" he called out, causing the boy to turn around and wait for him to catch up.
"Do you know where… um," Bryan tried to not say anything that could get him arrested again.
The boy looked at him questionable before nearly speaking aloud, "You're Bryan!"
The Mexican looked at him before covering his mouth, laughing nervously as the KG looked at them with a cautious stare before walking on. "Watch it, man. I just busted outta jail with my friends and I don't know where the UG base is." Bryan confessed quietly before slowly taking hands away and placing them beside him.
The boy laughed before holding out his hand in a friendly gesture. "Well, my name's Duo and it's an honor to meet you."
Bryan looked at him questionably as he took the friendly gesture and shook it. "An honor? Why?"
Duo released the grip as he scratched the back of his head and confessed, "Well, I met your friends and well… they are a bunch of psychotic girls who really can't take things seriously."
"That sounds like them," Bryan agreed mentally. Duo stopped smiling, as he seemed to glare at someone behind him. The Mexican turned his head to see that some KG were conversing with each other, one was staring at them.
"We'd better get to the Hip Hog Haven and wait there until pick-up arrives," Duo suggested as he led the way.
- - - -
Day 8, 6:07 a.m.
Jak was sitting on the sidewalks in the Water Port, his elbows resting on his knees as he laid his chin on his knuckles. He had taken off his goggles and scarf as it laid on his right side, letting his hair slightly move from the air around him. He was listening to the girl's MP3 player; he still haven't returned it to her. Everyone had gone his or her different ways to find the small girl.
Lisa: … why did I type that?
Francy: Because that was funny and true at the same time! Admit it!
Lisa: … . okay! It was! ROFL! Anyways, I made a comic version of this. I will try to scan it.
He just couldn't believe that he, of all people, was some game character. What was his role? From what seemed to happen around him, he assumed that he was the so-called hero.
Sighing, he glanced at what the song was player before staring at the water as the sky was starting to gain some color.
Save Tonight by
The sun was ready to rise, but there was no sign of the glowing star.
"How you doing, Jak?"
Alerted, Jak turned around to see Lisa standing semi-near behind him. Her eyes looked sad, but he knew it wasn't for him… or was it? Her eyes looked a bit red, but not much.
"Lisa…" Jak spoke softly. Lisa realized what she looked like as she quickly smiled, putting up her hands in defense.
"Oh, I'm sorry!" she said as she smiled. "So… um… how've you been?"
Jak looked back at the water, slightly scowling as he replied, "Okay… I guess."
"Well then…" Jak turned to see her walking away toward a building. He then noticed that he had stopped in front of Hip Hog Haven. "I'll see you later, Jak."
"Hey, wait," the blonde called out as she started to turn around. She looked over her shoulder and said, "I'll talk to you later."
Jak became furious as he reached out for her left hand. "I said wait!" Forgetting his strength, Jak yanked her back as her back landed on his lap. He then saw a face he never knew he would see; Lisa was glaring at him as she grabbed his shirt with an angry fist.
"What the hell, Jak? I could have fallen in the goddamn murky water! What if I drowned in it?"
Jak knew she was overacting, being a young girl that she is, but he went serious as he bluntly said, "Well, this is just the game world to you. So you'll just come back to life, right?"
The furious look in her face vanished as it was replaced with shock as she looked at his eyes, seeing only a grim stare. "How… when… who told-"
"Michelle and your friends told everyone," he explained quickly, knowing that he didn't feel like telling a story. He was about to ask her why he didn't tell her, but she interrupted him and looked away.
"Well, we could just be dreaming this up. Everything could just be fake so if we do supposedly die, we would probably wake up." She lowered her head as Jak noticed her cheeks went a bit red. "And we'll probably be dreaming the feelings we have for everyone."
"Shut up."
Lisa released her grip on his shirt, as she was about to sit up. Jak quickly grabbed a hold of her hand, making her flinch in amaze. "Jak, what are you-"
"Shut up and listen, god damn it!"
Lisa was completely taken back as she stared at him. He tightened his grip around her hand and said, "Do you feel that? That's real! I don't care if I'm a game character to you and your friends. We are real and you are here! This can't be a dream because…"
Jak went speechless as he tried to think of a way to say what he was supposed to say. Sighing, he then smirked at the girl and said, "You really are stupid for someone who is short and gets into trouble a lot."
Lisa felt those three comments hit her head hard as she gawked at him. She started waving her arms and legs, making Jak release her as she declared loudly, "I'm not stupid! I'm not short! And I don't always get into trouble!"
She got up and started stalking away, leaving a smirking renegade. She didn't see him stand up and walk toward her. She only felt his hand on her shoulder as he turned her around to make her look at him. Being taller, he bent his upper body so he would be eye-leveled.
"You need to shut up," he stated, as he got closer. He saw the blush on her cheeks as she was started shouting at him.
"Don't you dare tell me to be quiet, you stupid…!"
She didn't say more as she felt warm lips on hers. Jak's eyes were closed as he held her shoulders so she would run or have a repeat of what had happened a few nights ago. She then just started to feel the world disappear around her as she slowly closed her eyes, grabbing his arms and squeezed them tightly.
The blonde then slowly pulled away but was only inches away from her face. He heard and felt the small breaths she gave as she looked down in disbelief. Waiting for an answer, he asked, "Well?"
She looked at him and then looked away, feeling embarrassed. "You're a dick, you know that?"
"How about you say something else this time?" Jak then lifted her chin so she would look at him. "Can you say it at least this once?"
Lisa blushed before she mustered all the strength she could muster before stating a bit too loud. "I like you a lot, Jak!"
Jak laughed as he knelt down for a small peck on her head. As he pulled away once more, he said softly, "I love you too."
Lisa blushed badly before she snapped at him. "Stop kidding around!" This just caused the blonde to laugh even more.
- - - -
Lucas saw the event unfold from the pillar that is in the middle of the port. Holding on to the long wide wires that held the pillar up, he glared at the smirking blonde.
"Dark doesn't deserve love," Lucas stated as he jumped off the pillar, landing on the sidewalk that surrounded. "And neither does Jak."
To be continued…
Lisa/////
Francy: Oh! You kissed! How cute!
Lisa: Shut up! Just answer the reviews, Izzy!
Izzy: Okay!
0xjessiex0: OMFG! YOU'RE BACK! THEY MISSED YOU A LOT! LOL! And don't worry; I'll make sure her cousin doesn't make her change stories. And hey, I've not given up! I'm just too busy playing Warriors Orochi with Marielle right now.

Next time on Jak 2: Teenagers of Haven City…
Aw! They kissed at last, but Lucas isn't too happy about this! And now the big race is coming up and no one has gotten a good night's rest still! What will happen? Will they be able to win the race with falling to drowsiness? And what ever happen to Wolf?
Wolf: Trust me… you do not want to know…
I have to take a guess that you are messing with the RvsB characters, right?
Wolf: Shut up, Merry! Some of them are part of the Underground so I have to find them and kill them!
You really do need a life besides assassinating. Have you ever thought of… I don't know… be a delivery boy?
Duo: I am not hiring that guy! He works for Lucas!
Gosh… just kidding… psh, men! They can't even take or get a joke… like Daxter!
Daxter: Shut up! I too now know what Vanessa meant!
Next time, Chapter 26: Race & Wants Uke with that Seme?
