The Legacy of Janovah

Author's note: I do not own anything about this fanfic except the plot, Franerik, the Precursor City, Janovah, Dash, Kat, Rin (unfortunately), and Teiroth.

Chapter VI

Act 2

We had just exited the city gate. And before us was a beautiful untouched landscape. We just walked, knowing nothing of where we were going. We walked for a long time, and we came to a canyon. We assumed this is the path that Seem wanted us to take, until...

Dash: A dead end.
Kat: Oh, great!

It was then I spotted a door, shaped like my seal. My seal glowed, and the door opened. It was a grand temple.

Janovah: Well that was easy.
Kat: Yeah...
Dash: Almost...too easy.

Up above we saw a balcony, with broken pillars as a ramp, and everywhere else was sealed. How convenient. We climbed to the top; well actually, Dash climbed up, and pulled us up, and followed a long hallway.

Dash: Shh…
Kat: What?
Dash: We are not alone; something lurks here.

We proceeded cautiously and quietly. We entered a room, dark and cold. There were two paths, and we spent some time pondering which way to go, because they both looked like we would have to run across, because they looked like they were going collapse. Then Kat, as curious as she is, took a step on one, and our hunch was correct, because the path collapsed with GREAT noise.

Janovah: Well I guess we can't do eenine meenie...

Then we heard a great, well I don't know what it was. It shook the ground.

Dash: MO! Let's go!

We started dashing across, but the collapsing was too fast, and we all fell through. We landed hard, and it hurt.

Janovah: Kat, why do you ALWAYS have to look?
Kat: I'm sorry, I can't help it.
Dash: Well there's no use crying over spilled milk.
Kat: What are we going to do? It's too dark to see anything!
Dash: Seem says you can do some lighty-up thing!
Janovah: I'm not charged up with light eco!
Dash: It's worth a try.

And so I just stood there, kind of forcing something...like I was trying to poop.

Janovah: This is a little embarrassing.

And the weirdest thing happened, a stream of blue light came down, and POOF. I was glowing blue again...awesome. We found a path up some stairs and a door slid open. And on a stand, there was a key. I knew that was the prize. Funny, I didn't know the key to our survival was a key.

?????: Well, well, the girlie brigade is back.

We turned around, and we couldn't believe what we saw...VEGER!!!

Veger: You may call me Lord Kannaka.
Janovah: VEGER?
Kat: Well, someone's been a busy bee.
Veger: Ah yes, busy in leading the precursors.
Janovah: VEGER is Kannaka?
Veger: I'm sorry, that's not a valid password.
Dash: Let's give him a password, girls. KICK HIS ASS!

Then we saw what Veger was standing on, a HUGE Precursor Robot.

Veger: I'm sorry it had to end like this, but alas, whatever it takes.

Then Veger did something weird with his hand, and the key flew out my hand, and into his, and he ran. The robot started to attack, and I pulled out my gun. We saw that if we made the floor cave in, we could get rid of it. The crack was thin, but there had to be a way. We kept dodging the attacks. I was getting the dark feeling again...It became a blur, and then the roaring started happening, and a message came through my head...KILL...KILL...KILL...I hit the ground with all my might, the feeling subsided, and reality settled. The floor was collapsing, we had to get out.

Torn: Over here!

Torn had followed us in his hellcat cruiser, and ran over to the window and jumped in. A close call. We flew back to Haven, and we arrived at the Naughty Ottsel. We saw Seem.

Janovah: Seem, Veger or Kannaka or whoever, he got the key!
Seem: Yes.
Janovah: What are we going to do?
Seem: The world is at the hand of the precursors. We have but one choice, we must join them.
Janovah: JOIN THEM? Join them in destroying what we worked so hard to build?
Daxter: What happened to the good old coloring book that was noble?
Seem: Monks are servants to precursors; it would be wise to join them.
Jak: You were planning this from the beginning!
Torn: You won't get away with this!
Seem: But I already have.

Before anyone could do anything, Seem vanished in a cloud of smoke. There was a rumbling, ground shaking booms. We ran outside to see Precursor robots destroying the city.

Torn: Oh my god...
Jak: I can't believe this!
Torn: There's no way we can stop them all!
?????: Never say never!

We turned at the source of the voice, and there was a blonde guy smoking a cigar.

Torn: Jinx!
Jinx: That's right, I'm back.
Torn: You have a plan?
Jinx: Yeah, we need somebody to plant these bombs on the robots. They look small, but when detonated, BOOM!
Torn: We need somebody to do it.
Janovah: I'll do it.
Torn: Are you sure...it could be...dangerous.
Janovah: I'm willing to take that risk.
Jinx: Okay then...ah...
Janovah: Janovah.
Jinx: Hey aren't you Jak's kid?
Janovah: Yes...
Jinx: Well in that case, Jakky Jr., take the hellcat, and get close and drop a bomb on each.

I flew the hellcat, madly working the controls, getting real close to a robot. It swiped at me; I managed to toss a bomb on it. It got easier each time, until finally every robot was bombed.

Jinx: FIRE IN THE HOLE!

And indeed the robots blew apart, pieces falling, into the port, but Jinx had detonated too quickly because I got caught in the back blast, my hellcat's engine exploded and I jumped out into the port. I swam to shore, where Torn pulled me out.

Torn: That was...close.
Jak: She's reckless, like me!

My dad smiled at me, and I smiled back, like a real parental bond. He left for the Naughty Ottsel, and FINALLY, I was going to get my victory kiss from Torn. Well I was, until I heard somebody.

Seem: Next time you won't come off so lucky!

I launched myself at him, but he disappeared before I could grab him. I cursed and muttered under my breath.

Torn: Come on, we'll get him eventually.

Now I was too pissed to kiss anyone. This wasn't about the world anymore. Now it was personal.
