Jak II Chronicles
Part 3: The Future Awaits…
Chapter 31: Home

I've learned a lot over the years. I never doubted the power of miracles, of magic and wonders after Jak came into my life. After his departure, quite a number of things have happen to me, good and bad. As I write this, I am getting old and I can barely even see, so forgive me if my writings seem a bit messy. Just know I helped create Haven City. Sandover is no more. The citizens of that once small village are now living in a vast city that took 20 years to build. To hide hidden secrets and to protect ourselves from the Metal Heads. I don't want to explain the full details. I think it best if I don't and let it reveal itself in time.

I write this in hopes that legends live on and in hopes Jak will read it as well as everything else I chronicled of his adventures with me…

Haven City
Month 4: Ado,Day 2 (Spring Time)
Year: 299 TOMH (Time of the Metal Heads)

"Oh man…a Precursor." Jak gasped. There, hovering before him, hovering before his friends and family, hovering before the gasps of the Haven citizens and the Lurkers stood the mystical being.
"He's beautiful." The kid whispered as both his hand clutched tightly to Jak's one arm.
"It is finished... Our ancient enemy is no more. Take hope brave one!" The gruff, deep voice of the Precursor spoke, "The terrible darkness inside you is now balanced by a glorious light! We will meet again…"
Afterwards, a giant ring opened up and there inside was a glowing blue light. It was the same time gate as the one Jak and his friends saw earlier in the past or something similar to that effect. The Precursor eyed the two Jaks, folded his arms and flew off into it.
"That's the gate back home!" Kiera gasped, "Kami! Bring the Rift Rider!" Kiera communicated with her COMP and in seconds, Kami came with the Rift Rider as well as the Queen who gently hopped down with Torn's help. Kami and Akai took the Rift Rider down and placed it gently.
"We haven't much time. I've set the coordinates back to our village." Kiera started to type into the Rift Rider, "Let's go home, guys."
A silence befell on Jak.
"Jak?" Daxter softly stared at the young blonde.
"Jak…you are coming back to Sandover…right?" Kiera asked softly, almost sadly. Jak silently eyed the lift, then eyed Kiera and Daxter. He stared at Ashelin, Torn, his grandmother, among others, and eventually the child who kept a concern, but "it's your decision" face.
"I'm sorry…Kiera…Daxter." Jak softly spoke, "But we are home…Well, I am home. This is where I was born. This is my palace, my kingdom, my people. I'm going to live here and someday, I will die here and be buried with the past Kings."
"Jak?" Kiera gasped.
"I'm sorry…I belong here." Jak softly muttered. Silence once again fell. Kiera and Daxter's head were both down in grief, but Daxter immediately perked up.
"Hey, remember what I said?" Daxter walked over to Jak, "I'm with you everywhere you go. My parents always told me to follow my heart and now, I'm following it and I've made my decision." Jak slowly smiled, then eyed Kiera and Old Samos. Kiera, too smiled.
"Well, Jak, there's only one thing I can do." Kiera then moved towards to Jak like Daxter did and placed her hand on his shoulder, "I'm staying here, too." Jak smiled with them.
"What about the kid?" Tess came to.
"And this Rift Rider." Kiera pointed to the hunk of metal.
"Kiera, 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." Old Samos answered, "He must become old enough to complete the destiny he has fulfilled today." Jak eyed Little Jak who went over to the contraption and started to climb up. Jak helped him up.
"Wait a minute! It's you! I mean... it's me! I have to take him back and watch over him, don't I?" Young Samoes gasped. His older counterpart nodded, "Ah, grub roots! Talk about being in the wrong time at the right place!"
"Guys." Ashelin came. Everyone eyed her as she pointed to Jak and his younger half, "We should give them some alone time." And the heroes backed away to leave the two alone.

"Hey kid... you take care." Jak softly smiled.
"You, too." The kid softly whispered. Silence.
"Will I like where I'm going?" The kid asked.
"Definitely. Sandover is a beautiful place with friendly people." Jak spoke, "It'll take a while for you to fit in, but it'll be worth it. You're going to do great things there." The kid smiled and eyed the pendent of Mar he had on his hand. He took it and placed it around Jak's neck.
"I know, whatever you do, you'll also do great things for this kingdom." The kid spoke. Another silence.
"Well, time to go." Jak weakly smiled, trying to hold the tears he had. The child's tears, however, was more then gentle sobbing. He was downright crying as he surrounded his arms around Jak's neck.
"Kid!" Jak gasped.
"I don't want to go!" The kid cried, "I don't want to! You forgot everything when you came over here! I'm not going to remember! I'll forget! I don't want to forget you!"
"You're not going to!" Jak sniffed back his tears, holding the kid tight, "I remember. I remember now!"
"I can't leave this place! I'm scared! I'm scared, Jak!" The kid was practically choking his older counterpart.
"It's okay to be scared." Jak whispered, "But trust me, you're going off to a wonderful place." The kid finally let go of Jak and manage to stop his wailing to gentle sobs, "You'll also meet a wonderful person who will take care of you." The child eyed his older counterpart.
"I'll take care of this place now." Jak eased the child, "Promise."
"Thank you." The kid whispered, nodding.
"I should be thanking you." Jak pointed, "You got me through a lot of tough times." The kid smiled as did Jak. As they hugged for the last time, bright little white lights came. Pyreflies.
"What th-" Pecker gasped.
"Hey, we saw those in the ruined Sandover." Ani gasped. The white lights surrounded the entire palace, the Haven citizens, the KG, and the Lurkers "ooh"- ing and "ahh"- ing.
"Look." The kid gasped.
"Pyreflies…they're at peace now and know things will be in good hands for Sandover and the world…they can go to their eternal AfterLife." Jak softly spoke as the pyre flies disappeared one by one. The last one circled Jak and the child and disappeared with it the others. The two both stared at the others afterwards. That signaled Young Samos to come.

"Come along, young Christof, it's time to go." Young Samos extended his hand. The child took Young Samos' hand.
"Hey." Jak gestured to the child who turned to face him, "Good luck…oh, and trust me on this... (he placed a hand on his shoulder)…stay away from any wumpbee nests on your ninth birthday, okay?"
"I sure hope I built this replica right. I don't know if it-" Kiera grew worried.
"It's perfect, Kiera. This is the very machine we found... or will find later." Old Samos spoke, "Actually, built…found…oh, you know what I mean."
"What? I just built this. After building the first one, I mean, ya know, from those blueprints..." Kiera pointed, "It's based on what I remember from…"
"Honey, the more you think about it, the more it hurts the head!" Daxter pointed out.
The Rift Rider started to hover up and was now heading towards the Time Ring.
"I'll take good care of the child! And don't worry... I'll be back in time for the celebration!" Young Samos cried, "Fare well!"
"JAK! GOOD-BYE!" The kid cried!
"GOOD BYE! Don't worry, Haven is in good hands!" Jak cried.
"I KNOW!" The kid smiled, wiping some tears off, "May the Precursor have mercy on you…Christof." And with that, the machine blasted off into the ring. The ring broke into pieces, closing the time door.

Everyone watched the entire scene with warm feelings as well as sadness in their heart. Jak was the one nearest the ring. He held his pendent tightly and just stared. Samos came to him and smiled gently.
"Samos…" Jak started. Samos merely stared at Jak, like he was going to be punished for keeping this entire secret from Jak. Instead, Jak's face pulled into a smile underneath tear stained eyes.
"…Thank you." Jak said. Samos made a sincere smile and stared at the sky.
"Such a shame... The boy won't remember any of this." Samos shook his head. Jak nodded, then opened his eyes wide and smiled.
"No... I do remember the light!" Jak smiled.
"Well, Jak, what will you do now?" Alexandros came.
"Huh?" Jak turned to face the elderly woman.
"Haven awaits your decision." The Queen spoke, "What will you do?"
Jak eyed the Queen and made a confused look. He then smiled and starred at his friends and family…

6 months later

Haven City
Month 10: Octeria, Day 2 (Fall Time)
Year: 1 AOTH (Age of the Nations)

"A new era has been created. The city, in only 6 months has never been the same before. 300 years of powerful legacy, 12 Kings, and now, everything seems to fall into place. The walls that surround Haven City has all been broken down for the people, knowing they are now free from tyranny and free from the Metal Heads, now no longer existing. The nations of other parts of Precursia and Haven Kingdom itself has started alliances and starting a sense of peace. A peace that hasn't happen in 300 years. All thanks to a heroic, mysterious boy named Jak Bannon. He's long since disappeared, but rumors say he pops up every now and then, mostly in disguise. The Precursor has also given our prince back, aging him at the tender age of 18, to better govern our kingdom.
The slums and it's people were getting better homes, Lurkers are being accepted and even started to live and work here, the Sandover ruins is now a preserved area with only archeologists and experts allow to enter, and the walls surrounding the city has been taken down. So much good has come to the city and we pray for many more miracles. This is Canny Macher, speaking. Stay tuned…"

………………

"You are the light in a field of darkness. The one who made my life complete after disaster fell onto me. The purpose and soul. My life changed for the better because of you. A boy who fell from the sky, truly the miraculous gift of the Precursors…"

Brutter…

"Wow, this city's fixed in only 6 months and the walls of Haven City are destroyed!" Rena gasped.
"Yes, someone "special" ordered walls to be destroyed." Brutter answered, "Said people should see the ocean better."
"I have a feeling I know who that person is." Rena stared at the palace, "But let's not talk about him, let's talk about you! You look nice in that outfit!"
"Oh, well…" Brutter blushed.
"Brutter, new Captain of the Krizmon Guard." Rena giggled, "I think you look wonderful." Indeed, Brutter now donned the red armor. Rena placed her head on his shoulder as he walked.
"So, is you father and brother coming to see ceremony?" Brutter asked.
"Practically the entire Lurker tribe is." Rena smiled, "They wouldn't miss this for the world."
"This is good times for Lurker tribe!" Brutter laughed triumphantly.
"Yes, it is." Rena nodded, placing her arms around Brutter, "A wonderful time indeed."

………………

"What we do with our future? It is uncertain. What our destiny will be? It is uncertain. The Precursors work in mysterious ways. We decide, we accept. Life was not designed to be simple, nor serious. Remember to laugh and the world laughs with you…"

Daxter, Tess, Pecker, and Onin…

A giant robotic Daxter with a pitchfork and devil horns on the top of its head graced the once Hip Hog Saloon. Inside…
"Welcome to the Naughty Ottsel! The hippest, happenest, happiest joint in town!" Daxter cried out. He had on a bowtie, cufflinks on his arms and legs, and a top hat.
"Oooh... Honey, business will be booming!" Tess smiled, eyeing Daxter. She had on a lovely green dress, reaching up to her upper legs.
"Baby, I think this is my greatest accomplishment!" Daxter grinned, "Of course, one as suave as me could pull something, and all the while being cute, too."
"Onin says she doesn't know who has a bigger head. Him (pointing to the giant Daxter statue outside) or you!" Pecker chimed in, with Onin drinking as well as "talking." They were there to celebrate Daxter's new location. Of course, even after 6 months trying to get the place fixed up to his own needs, he kept it short. He had a special ceremony to attend, after all. Even Pecker and Onin were dressed.
"Hey, that's enough for you, lady. I'm cuttin' ya off! Gotta save some booze for everyone else!" Daxter eyed Onin. Onin, sighing zapped Daxter away.
"Trust me, she gets real mean when she's like this!" Pecker stated.
"What'd she say?" Daxter asked.
"Something about rubber tubing and certain parts of your mother... you don't wanna know…" Pecker gasped. Tess then came, clearing her throat.
"Shouldn't we be going?" Tess asked.
"Yea, we should." Daxter sighed, "Come on, the rest all left, we better catch up."

………………

"My boy, you must always remember to be sweet, kind, and gentle. But don't be so passive or you'll be taken advantage off. Be strong and commanding as well, as prince and future King, you must be ready to take on anything that comes your way. Balance those two. Balance the light with the dark. But remember to always be true to yourself…"

Sig…

"So, you're going?"
"Yep." Sig drank out of his cup as he was in a local bar with Jinx and his cohorts.
"I don't belong here." Sig shook his head, "I no longer work for Krew. It's time I headed home."
"Gonna miss ya, you were a tough guy." Jinx grinned.
"Me, too." Mog nodded.
"I ain't gonna be gone forever." Sig stated, "First off, I got a ceremony to attend to. I'll make visits."
"We'll see you then." Grim nodded, "We need to get to know you better."
"Ahhh, the ceremony…" Jinx smiled, "Yea, we're invited, too."
"Well, then. After the ceremony, it's good-bye." Sig smiled

.….……………

"Do not be upset that you did not say Good-Bye to me properly. I apologize for keeping your true secret from you. Please forgive me. I will not say good-bye to you. We will meet when your time again…"

Kiera and Samos…

"We don't know when he'll wake up." came the head doctor, "He's just frozen until we can do something. We just have to keep him alive till then."
"I see." came Kiera's voice.
"You can visit Erol whenever you want to, Miss Kiera." The head doctor spoke.
"Thank you." Kiera nodded, and then she placed a hand on the frozen case Erol was in. Everything was so fogged up by the cold that Erol's face was barely noticeable. She sighed, smiled, then left the frozen room, removing the jacket she was given and revealing a lovely lavender dress.
"Ahh, Kiera, there you are." Samos came, also dressed properly, Oh, look how lovely you are."
"Wow, so this is the inside of the palace." Kiera gasped, "It's quite lovely when you slow down and look at everything."
"It's back to the way it was now that Praxis is no longer here." Samos spoke.
"That was quite a funeral, poor Ashelin cried so much." Kiera started to walk alongside her father.
"Well, he's off in a better place." Samos spoke, "Lots of ceremonies and good things have come. We must be happy." Kiera nodded.
"But we must also be memorable and aware: we must not forget Vin and all the others who sacrificed their lives to defeat this evil and protect the child." Samos spoke.
"Another funeral we attended…quite a lot for only 6 months." Kiera sighed.
"So, still working on your zoomer business." Samos spoke.
"Yep, I made a room especially for you." Kiera spoke.
"Can't wait to see it." Samos smiled. The two smiled at each other and walked around the palace some more before the ceremony.

.……………….

"Rule, get married, have a family, Laugh. Sing. Dance. Live…"

Ashelin and Torn…

"This armor makes me itch."
"Oh, stop complaining, you've been wearing it for six months, you should be used to it." Ashelin sighed. She was in a glorious red dress, "How do I look?"
"Gorgeous." Torn smiled weakly, and then came over to Ashelin.
"New General of the Krimzon Guard." Ashelin smiled.
"A governor of Haven City." Torn eyed Ashelin, "What the hell do we need a governor for, anyways? I thought councilmen and royalty was enough."
"Grandma Alexandros felt that we needed governors for each section of Haven City to watch over, as well as each sections of the kingdom. Get things in faster order. I get the task of watching over ALL of Haven City."
"Quite a job." Torn nodded.
"I can handle it." Ashelin smiled, "There's nothing I can't handle, remember?"
"Oh, really?" Torn grinned, "Not even your hand for marriage?" Ashelin gasped and turned around to see Torn's side leaning against the wall, ring in one hand.
"Well?"
Ashelin smiled, then chuckled a little, then ran into Torn's arms, completely knocking him down.
"I'll take that as a "yes." Torn smiled back.

.………………

"There will be many questions you will ask. Fate is a fickle, tricky thing. Nations unite, friends live and die, family together. Journeys of yonder, discovering the meaning of true love, and unlocking the secrets to artifacts unknown. Discovering something new, old and new foes. What awaits beyond afterwards…"

The Queen…

"Oh, your hair is zee impossible feat!" cried Michel, "Mimo, Ginger, zee hair spray!" The two assistants immediately grabbed the small item and gave it to the rich star.
"I swear, you'll be zee star of this ceremony!" Michel sighed.
"Michel, I'm pretty much supposed to be. This is a big day for me. I'm so nervous."
"With that attitude, you'll be stressed out! That's iz not good. You'll get wrinkles!" Michel scoffed, "Your Grandmother hired me to be your official tailor and zee hair dresser…well, as long as it doesn't interrupt moi from moi schedule. I'm starring in zee movie in two weeks."
"Good luck on that."
"Why, thank you!" Michel grinned.
"Oh, you got a present from Mr. Avery." Mimo came up.
"What?"
"He's giving you Bellflower as a present." Ginger stated, "Isn't that lovely? Your own mustallion?"
"Ooh, isn't zat nice?" Michel giggled in an obnoxious manner.
"I have a good feeling why he let me have her." A knock came and the Queen appeared before them. The three bowed.
"Ahh, Michel, wonderful look." Alexandros smiled, "He truly looks divine."
"Why, thank you, your highness." Michel blushed, "It iz flattering to get praises from the Queen herself." The Queen turned her attention away from Michel.
"Are you ready?" She asked.
"Yes, just nervous."
"You chose this, are you sure you won't back away?"
"I'm ready."
"You won't be leaving the palace much, you know. I know you like the freedom." The Queen came again.
"I'll do what I can. I promised him I'd do well for the kingdom."
"You are a miraculous child." Alexandros eyed the mirror in front of her, "You'll do great things, like your father did."
"I'll try."
"You'll do fine. It's in your blood."
"I'll…try. I just have to leave with the fact that Jak and Christof are two different people."
"I know you don't like that idea I made, but it's for the best. Jak Bannon was a hero who saved Haven, then disappeared. The Precursors then brought in Christof, now grown up to help rule Haven Kingdom. That is the story we're sticking by."
"I can't believe people believed that…well, except for our closest friends and family…and all the servants who work here." Jak sighed.
"They saw the Precursor with their own eyes, of course they believe us. People don't need to know who Jak's real identity is. It is best left that well. We don't want to pose too many questions."
"I know, but I can't go of Jak. I can't…it's a part of me. Someday, Jak will return."
"Oh, really?" Alexandros crossed her arms.
"Really."

The sound of loud horns rung throughout the air.

"It is time." Alexandros gestured, "Come, we have a ceremony to attend to." She sighed.
"I hope all the training you gave me isn't put to waste now that this is officially who I'm going to be."
"Well, I'll tell you what, being Queen isn't an easy job, so your job at least has some merits. Now come."

………………

"My life, my adventure has ended and it is time for the next generation to move on…"

Ani…

"So the ceremony takes atop the palace, nice!" Daxter grinned, "Isn't this a glorious setting?"
"Ooh, you betcha, my little ottsel-poo!" Tess giggled.
"Get a room, you two!" Pecker groaned, of course, his mind changed when he saw Ani. She had on a lovely headset and silver dog collar, her hair groomed beautifully.
"My dearest Ani!" Pecker squawked.
"Oh, hello, Pecker." Ani smiled, "Glad you could make it to the ceremony."
"I wouldn't miss it for the world." Pecker gently took one of Ani's hand, "And I wouldn't miss you for the world." Once again, he kissed her hand. Ani giggled a little.
"Look who's flirting with who!" Daxter cried out.
"Oh, I am not flirting; I am merely being a gentleman." Pecker half closed his eyes as he lovingly stared at Ani who just laughed heartily.
"I think all of you need a room" came the sighs of Puar.
"Well, let's just enjoy the ceremony." Ani suggested, "After all, we have all the time in the world…"
"Yes, we do." Pecker continued to flirt at her. The animals made their way to the ceremony.
"Ani…babe, I think you look beautiful." Daxter commented. Ani smiled sincerely.
"Thank you." Ani giggled a little, "I feel lovely."

.………………..

"I bid thee farewell…and remember…"

Jak…

"Welcome back to our life coverage of the most important ceremony of this year! Hi, I'm Canny Macher." came the cry of announcer Canny, "Oh, isn't this just a lovely day?"
Everyone was there to celebrate the ceremony.
"This is a grand time for Haven Kingdom." came Canny in a more dramatic voice, "Everyone in Haven City alone has gathered around the palace to see the crowning and the one who is crowning is the new High Council, Count Veger."
Daxter was on top of Tess's shoulder like he did with Jak with Puar floating over head. Ani managed to find a spot and watched from there. Onin was floating enough to see, Pecker on her dish bowl hat. Ashelin and Torn, hand in hand watched nearby, being part of the ceremony. Kiera and Samos watched nearby, the former wiping a tear off. Sig, one of the few who didn't dress up (he'd be leaving immediately after the ceremony), watched from a short distance, his gun hoisted over his shoulder. Jinx, Grim, and Mog, surprisingly dressed neatly, watched near Sig. Mog was the one crying his heart out ("It's so beautiful", Mog said). Michel marveled at the job well done he did on the clothings and hair and mainly tried to get into the camera's spotlight while Mimo and Ginger, as well as Michel's sister, Carmen, all sighed and shook their head. The leader Lurker and his son watched nearby alongside Kami, the other Lurkers, and Brutter and Rena, the latter holding onto Brutter's hand. Avery (with Bellflower), and his wife (as well stinky Pete), watched from afar. No body got near Stinky Pete for obvious reasons. Even the Underground members all watched and even waved to their fellow cohorts and friends. This was a happy time.

"Ooh, here he comes now!" Daxter pointed.

The Queen came first, then out came Jak, dressed in full white armor, to symbolize purity. His entire face was pure white as was his hair (Michel: Don't worry, the White Dye can be removed by water, it won't be with your forever!). He looked so elegant and at peace. He went over to the platform where a tall, balding man in blue grinned at him. Jak eyed him and smiled weakly, still nervous. So many people, he thought.
"Well, then." The man named Veger spoke, "As Head Councilman, it is my job to officially crown you. All your trainings, all your dedication paid off." Veger kept that massive grin on his face. A Krimzon Guard holding a cushion with the golden crown came over. Veger lifted it up and Jak kneeled.
"Are you ready to accept the responsibilities and duties set before you?" Veger asked.
"Yes, I am." Jak nodded.
"Are you ready to help out your people…well, more so, then ever before?" Veger continued, "Never to abandon your position and fight for your kingdom and people?"
"Yes, I am." Jak spoke again.
"Then now, you are no longer just Prince Christof Aradi Del' Alazender Romanir the 3rd, you are now Crowned Prince." Veger placed the crown on Jak's head and everyone cheered. Jak then stood up and watched his people, his friends, his family all cheering for him. Everyone watching this, everyone in Haven City, Haven Kingdom, watched as Jak took over his place. He eyed the sky.
"Well, Uncle…I did it." Jak smiled, almost in the mood for tears.
Samos came by to Jak and smiled.
"My boy, you've opened a new door…the future awaits!" Samos cried out, "Ready for more adventures and mystery that will probably come our way?"
"I'm ready for anything." Jak smiled, "I am Prince Christof, but Jak will never die. Who knows, someday, Jak might return."
"You think so?" Samos asked.
"I know so." Jak smiled. Soon, the fireworks came and filled the sky. Everybody cheered and celebrated. A good future awaited them, they all thought. Any new adventures, any new mysterious of Precursia and the Precursors, they knew they would be ready. Jak knew being prince would be difficult, as is everything else handed down to him. It's not easy being a hero. But hey, he's Jak…

He eyed the sky some more and closed his eyes, knowing he's still got a long way to go. Yea, Christof maybe here now, but Jak would return…someday.

"…Remember to always be yourself, of pure of Heart. Never forget these words, my boy…"

...The End...

Author's Notes (12/17/05): The entire fanfic is now revised. I can finally get working on Jak and Crash.For more info on that, read the old author's note below…

It's done, finished, it's over! I finished it! dances I'm glad I did finish it, even though I am sad I can no longer continue, but this does leave me to finish my Crash Bandicoot fic which, believe it or not, actually sets the path for my version of Jak 3 (which I will talk more on later down). First off, let me speak more on these last two chapters.

The Ending (wazzup with that?)
The main thing you'll ALL notice when you read this fic is the altered ending. Why did I change it? What's up with Jak being prince when he ends up banished to the Wasteland in Jak 3? Well, simple. I disliked Jak 2's ending (although I'm actually showing some signs of respect for it after Jak 3's even worse ending). It was fulfilling, but not all the way through. It just didn't feel all that…complete for me. I wanted a more dramatic approach and thus, I created this. I wanted to show how the character's lives are played out and further expend on who they are and what they will do now. As for Jak bring prince, it's probably my interest in royal figures. Naturally, I think Jak in a royal outfit is major awesomeness, so I can't help but make it. Don't fret. I don't plan to make him retire from adventures, of course not. Jak will return. Christof is just taking over for the time being until the next Jak fanfic I write (and if I plan to put it here). If you don't like this ending approach, then oh, well, more power to you

Jak 3 (What I plan to do)
The next one is Jak 3. Now, I manage to get the game a week or so ago and manage to beat it two days ago. Without any spoilers, let me state that the story got good, then turned horrible with a revelation involving the Precursors that shocked and pissed me off. In truth, when I got Jak 3, I was wondering if I should do a Jak 3 story. It WOULD be separate from my own Jak 2 fic I made and just merely be a Jak 3 adaptation (I can't make the Prince end up banished, it doesn't work in my story), but after playing it, I just said, "forget it." Let someone else do it. Instead, I'm going to work on MY own Jak 3 which has actually been in planning since months before Jak 3's release. You see, I don't wanna do it because I dislike Jak 3's story. It was VERY disappointing and really didn't have the epic feel Jak 2 did. I have a lot of the story set out for MY Jak 3, but now that I played Jak 3, I'm going to change SOME things around and add things Jak 3 has (because those scenes are good), BUT I refuse to put in some certain scenes which pisses me off (if you have Jak 3 and played it, you'll know what I mean). So basically this is my own Jak 3, completely deprived of Jak 3 the game (except with some elements thrown), and more of my own story. I'll probably make it after I finish my Crash fic which I said earlier actually will connect with my Jak 3 story. It's kinda hard to explain. You'll probably have to read "Experiment Bandicoot" as I update to know.

Thank You
There's more to explain, but I best stop as to not further confuse anyone. All I can say is THANK YOU! Thank you ALL for reading and reviewing my fics. While I've had some minor changes added from the earlier fics, I had quite a lot of fun with this fic and is actually pretty durn proud of it. THANK YOU all for all your advices, comments, supports, etc. You guys are the best. It was thanks to you that I got Jak 2 fanfic done. Here's to possibly Jak 3 fanfic coming as soon as I can make it! Until then, AH-YOUNG (Good-Bye in Korean)!
