Jak and Daxter universe belongs to Nuaghtydog.

Gwyneira and plot changes belong to me.

Ok I'd like to thank everyone who has reviewed and unfortunately only one more chapter then the story is complete. I am however doing a Q&A as an extra chapter if anyone is interested, I'll also be posting who sung the songs I used as chapter titles. So drop me a question in either a review, privately message me or message me on da (link is on my profile) I will be taking a little break from this story when it's finished however so the sequel won't be up for a while. Erol's version of this story will be up in a few days if anyone is interested. And again if anyone is interested I'm going to upload a Ratchet and Clank story in a few days just to see how that works, if not I'll stick to Jak and Daxter.

Chapter 37 – Dance Site of Darkness

We walked into the nest as we saw Kor hung to the ceiling above a pit. A warp gate could be found behind Kor and the kid was encased within some sort of force field as he floated there sleeping.

"Finally, you've decided to join us and you brought the Precursor Stone. Good. The boy will now play his final part." Kor stated as he mentioned the boy.

"Not this time." Jak answered letting go of my hand.

"Oh, but this child is such a part of this! Such a part of you! Don't you recognize him? The boy is you, Jak! And this place... this is where you began, in the future!" Kor said as myself and Daxter gasped as Jak decided to voice his shock.

"But how...?"

"You were hidden in the past on the hope that you would gain the skills to face me today. But Onin was wrong! Now that you've been altered with Dark Eco, the stone will never open for you. Your younger self, however, still has the pure gift! He alone can awaken the Stone and the Precursor entity, which sleeps inside!" Kor answered.

"This stone is a Precursor?" Jak asked in surprise as he looked at it.

"The last Precursor egg! Mar was clever. He covered his tracks well through time, hiding his last egg from me, and building the shield and city to defend it! It has been a long siege. But today, I will finally feed on the last Precursor Life Force!"

"Ah, I think you're forgetting one little thing, Metalo-Maniac! We've got the Precursor Stone!" Daxter answered.

"Not for long!" He charges himself with energy and shoots towards us causing the wall we were stood on to collapse. I managed to jump out of the way from the rubble but Jak wasn't so lucky.

"JAK!" I shouted as there wasn't any movement, after a while Jak broke through the rubble that had fallen on him but rather it wasn't Jak but his darker being, the same being that I saw the first time we got out of prison. Now I know why Jak and the others didn't want me going with him on missions. Because of Jak's darker self. I don't know why though his darker self hasn't hurt me before. Maybe that is what Jak was afraid of or the fact that I was terrified of him when he first transformed. Or maybe his darker self blamed me for what happened as I didn't fight hard enough to stop it.

I wouldn't say that! Someone spoke but I couldn't pinpoint the voice. I've never heard it before, It's me, Dark Jak! He stated as I look at him in horror. Are you serious? Oh yes. Very much so. And don't go blaming yourself about what happened to Jak. But you did get the 'not going with him on missions with Jak' correct though. He was so worried I'd hurt you because he didn't know how to tame me. He's gotten a bit better at that now though I heard him smirked as he then reverted back to Jak.

"DIE!" Kor shouted as I finally got to my feet and helped Jak try to defeat him.

It took a long time get him to fall to the ground. We first had to figure the best form of action that would hurt him as well as avoiding the metal head scorpions that he continued to shoot out at us to slow us down. After we had figured out a form of action and continued to circle him in opposite directions, while shooting at him as well as the metal heads that were following us, we managed to knock him down a bit, only to have flying metal heads come out at us as well.

We continued to use our form of action while keeping an eye on both the ground and flying metal heads as well as avoiding any blasts that the metal head leader was giving us. I got a few hits this time around as we continued our assault. Jak noticed this and started to speed up his attacks so I wouldn't get too hurt. I didn't want to let Jak down or get him hurt because of me as I quickly sorted myself out and ignored the pain and continued to fight against the metal head leader.

We eventually had Metal Kor gunned down enough to cause him to fight on foot. By this time I was clearly exhausted, never have I ever worked this hard before. Jak got in front of me as the Metal head leader looked at us and growled. It was silent and still for only a short second before Metal Kor started charging towards us as well as shooting at us.

We couldn't us our previous form of action anymore as we ran away from the proceeding monster. We managed to get a few shots at him before Jak's gun got jammed, "damn it," he shouted as we ran from Kor.

Kor noticed Jak's gun and began to shot directly at him as he knew Jak wouldn't be able to protect himself from the attack. Just as Kor shot his blast as Daxter screamed, I jumped in front of the blast pushing Jak and Daxter out of the way. The blast hit me in the chest as I flew back and hit my head against the wall leaving me unconscious.

What happened next I don't know but what I do remember before passing out was Jak transformed.

When I started to come around, Jak was cradling me as the kid was poking my face. I heard Jak snicker a little as I woke up, "hey sleeping beauty," Daxter jumped into my chest to get into my face, "you missed me kick some major metal head butt," he cheered as he moved out of the way so I could sit up.

"Well I'd love to hear that story one day," I smiled.

"Are you ok?" Jak asked as I stood up with Jak helping me.

"Yeah I'm fine. Except for the headache but I'm good," I said as I looked at myself and saw the kid look up at me and hold out his arms as I went down to pick him up, "I can't believe he's you,"

"I know right," Jak answered.

"It explains a lot though," I smiled as Jak blinked clearly not understanding what I had said.

"But any way how'd you survive, I mean you got blasted in the chest," Daxter asked as I put the kid back down. I felt my chest area trying to figure it out then I remembered. I unzipped my jacket and pulled out Erol's mask. "you know even in death he doesn't leave you alone," Daxter joked as I giggled and Jak rolled his eyes.

"Yeah I don't know why I picked this up but I'm kind of glad I did now," I smiled.

"Yeah and me," Jak answered. Just then the Balloon arrived.

"We haven't much time. I've set the coordinates back to our village. Let's go home, everyone." Keira said as she jumped off the Balloon

"But we are home." Jak answered.

"Keira, I'm afraid your Rift Rider must be used to send young Jak here to a place where he will grow up safe from harm. He must become old enough to complete the destiny he has fulfilled today." The old Samos said as Jak picked up the kid and put him on the raft.

"Wait a minute! It's you! I mean... it's me! I have to take him back and watch over him, don't I? Ah, grub roots! Talk about being in the wrong time at the right place!" the young Samos said.

"Hey kid... you take care. Oh... and trust me on this..." Jak mothered the kid, "Stay away from any wumpbee nests on your ninth birthday, okay?" the kid nodded. I wonder if he will.

"I sure hope I built this replica right. I don't know if it..." Keira thought as she looked over the machine.

"It's perfect, Keira. This is the very machine we found... or will find later." Old Samos answered.

"What? I just built this. After seeing the first one, I mean. It's based on what I remember from..." Keira started but Daxter interrupted.

"Honey, the more you think about it, the more it hurts the head!"

The ship then takes off with the kid and young Samos on it, "I'll take good care of the child! And don't worry... I'll be back in time for the celebration! Fare well!" they then leave through the ring as it then falls apart.

"Thanks Samos. Without you..." Jak started.

"It's funny... The boy won't remember any of this." Samos interrupted.

"No... I do remember the light!" Jak looked up to where the rift was. I walked over to Jak and held his hand as he took it and smiled at me. Jak then looked up to see Keira who clearly didn't look happy. Jak sighed, "Keira look,"

"No, I don't understand, you tryed to kiss me a number of times before and now this," she referred to me, "Daddy. Why aren't you saying anything?"

"Well Keira, mainly because I already knew Jak would find someone else and I did try to keep you two apart so this scenario wouldn't happen," Samos answered.

"That's right. The younger you," I stated as he nodded.

"That's really weird," Jak spoke before he turned his attention to Keira, "we can still be friends right?"

Keira soften her glare, "I guess so," she then turned to me, "as long as you look after him,"

"I will, don't you worry. He's not leaving my sight," I winked to Jak as he forced a smile, clearly getting a bit scared with our conversation.

"Come on you lot let's get back before we miss the party," Samos said as we all nodded.

Thank you for reading and remember to review!
