"Aha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" laughed Gol as Keria was thrown on the floor of his throne room. "So it seems the king has let his guard down." Keria struggled to get to her feet but with her hands and legs bound it wasn't happening. Gol snapped his fingers and the bounds were undone. She quickly got up and scurried to a corner where she tried feebly to hide from Gol's eyes. "You have nothing to fear from me, daughter of Samos, yet. We're still waiting for the main attraction to arrive."
"This is a trap isn't it?" she spat. "And I'm your bait. Well let me tell you that Jak'll never walk into your trap!" she spat at his feet.
Gol strode over to her and held her by the throat so her face was a s close as possible to his. "When he hears your screams of pain he'll come running!" Gol threw her back to the ground and without turning back to the Metal-Heads he spoke to them. "When Jak gets here I want her alive and unspoiled."
Keria wimpered as the Metal-Heads moved in on her.
Jak was back in the palace with Ashelin, Samos, and Torn. They were all studying a large map of the Wastelands, where Gol had built his citadel. The citadel was crawling, literally, with Metal-Heads
"The Metal-Heads have sided with Gol," said Ashelin. "By draining the Silos and giving the eco to them they've agreed to basically be his bitches."
Jak shook his head. "That's all they'll be too. Once he's done with us he'll move onto them. He won't stop his reign of destruction until there's no speck of life on this planet except for his body."
"Then why doesn't he just attack and get it over with? If he sent every Metal-Head he has at us he'd raze this city to the ground and kill everyone inside." said Torn.
"Because he wants us to think that we have a chance, he wants us to think that if we wait here that we'll be ready when the hammer stroke falls, but we won't be, we can't be." said Jak.
"Well I'm not about to give up without a fight!" yelled Torn slamming his fist on a table. "We spent a year wiping up all the crap Praxis spilled on this city and I'm not going to let some purple skinned freak destroy it all!"
"He's not." said Jak. "He won't come until I'm dead. He knows that if I'm here the city will stand but if I'm out of the way he'll be able to move in for the kill. And the reason he kidnapped Keria was so that I'll go walktzing into his trap."
"So what are we going to do?" asked Ashelin. "And I want an answer this time."
Jak closed his eyes and spoke. "I'm going to do exactly what Gols wants me to do," he said. "Go waltzing into his trap."
"Are you insane Jak!" yelled Samos. "He'll kill you the second he sees you!"
"No," said Jak. "He'll wait to kill me he'll kill Keria first. He wants me to see her die, he wants me to get lost in my anger and rage that I won't be able to see what I need to when he exposes a weakness."
The room was silent. Everyone knew Jak was going and no one could or would stop him.
"I have to guys," said Jak. "It's my only choice." And with that Jak turned his back on everyone in the room as he walked down the palace hallways to the Port. Right after he left Nev came bursting into the palace.
"Ashelin," he yelled throwing a huge binder full of pictures and vid disks onto the table. "We've got a slight problem."
Ashelin pulled outon of the vid disks and put in in the drive of the monitor and immed the lights. He mouth gaped open at what she saw. This was horrendous, this was unheard of, this was undefendable.
"They're in the city!" yelled Nev. "They're all that the main wall pillars. If they all go off at once the city'll crumble!"
"Get Jak back here!" yelled Torn. "He's the only one who can stop this!" The three ran to the doors of the palace only to see the air-train fly over the city walls.
"We have to get him back!" cried Ashelin.
"It's no use." said Samos. "Gol'll kow he's coming and he can't turn back now."
"He's on his own," said Torn. "Just like us."
(((Hey, guys! Sorry these past few chapters have been kind of short. I'm having to cut them down because of school, there's just not enough time to get everything into them. There're only about 3-4 chapters left. And don't worry, everything will be explained in due time. Enjoy the rest!"
"This is a trap isn't it?" she spat. "And I'm your bait. Well let me tell you that Jak'll never walk into your trap!" she spat at his feet.
