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 VII

I returned to the Naughty Ottsel, quite disgruntled. Sig was on the messaging hologram thingy.

Sig: Spargus is under attack by Precursors!
Janovah: What else is new?
Sig: But this time, they've outfitted metal heads with armor and biological enhancements! We need your help!
Janovah: I'll be right over!
Sig: I think I found the answer to...

But he got cut off, because there were explosions, and he disappeared.

Torn: It looks bad. I'll call out the Freedom League to render assistance if needed.
Daxter: Jak! Say something! She's your kid!
Jak: I don't like this. I think Janovah should stay here.
Janovah: I can fight!
Jak: No! Remember what happened in the sewers?
Janovah: I can do this! Why don't you believe I can? You did!
Jak: I was seventeen!
Janovah: I'm sixteen! I can handle it!
Jak: You're staying and that's final!

I had never been yelled at before. Well, by Kleiver, but he didn't matter. So everyone but Dash, Kat, and me got ready. Before he left, Torn came to me.

Torn: Hey, I'm sure your dad just doesn't want you to get hurt.
Janovah: Nobody believes I can do this.
Torn: What do you mean.
Janovah: They're all watching me, just..
Torn: Waiting for you to screw up?
Janovah: Yeah.
Torn: Hey, I'm just being negative. I'm sure with our army, we'll be in and out!

And so they left. And we wasted away. Daxter actually stayed to, to "Keep an eye on me". Just that made want to go. So I decided to.

Janovah: Hey guys, why don't we go to Spargus and those metal heads hell!
Dash: Kill metal heads; get revenge, sounds good to me.
Kat: I'm not good, I need a group. Count me in!
Daxter: Wait a minute. You're not supposed to leave the city, remember.
Janovah: I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself.
Daxter: Then what are we here for?
Janovah: HEY, YOU FOLLOWED ME, REMEMBER?
Dash: Don't look at us, he said it!

We took a zoomer to Freedom HQ and Daxter latched to my leg the whole way. We got in the Hellcat, and I shook Daxter off.

Daxter: NO NO NO NO NO!! PLEASE DON'T GO!!

We took off, leaving Daxter by himself.

Daxter: Gone again! Someone needs to get a BEEPER for this kid!!

And we flew to Spargus. We landed with subtlety. We crept in, and it was disaster. I pulled out my gun and strarted shooting. The Freedom League was getting their asses kicked.

Torn: RETREAT! RETREAT!

Just then, a metal head came up behind him and hit him with a metal rod, knocking him asunder. He appeared to be okay, but the metal head was closing in. I ran up and shot it in the head. I had never seen so much blood in my life. Torn looked surprised to see me. Sort of half shocked and half relieved. Then his looked turned to horror.

Torn: Janovah!! Look out!

I looked behind me, and saw a huge metal head charging, the shock made me fall and drop my gun. It so close and so fast, I screamed, but before it could strike me, my father came and slammed into it, hard. He then gunned it down. He came over and helped me up, with utmost concern.

Jak: Are you okay?
Janovah: I'm fine.
Jak: Thank god.

Then he hugged me. It felt awkward on my part. People were retreating, screaming the city was lost. And it was, completely destroyed. We got on an air train, and flew back to Haven. I walked into the Naughty Ottsel, Torn was off helping prepare the shield wall, and the others were getting ammo and guns from Tess. My father sat me down and cast me an angry look.

Jak: What did you think you were doing? You could have been killed. I die every time you do this stuff.
Janovah: You've never said anything before.
Jak: That's because I tried to convince myself that you would be okay. But I can't keep putting a happy face on your getting in danger. Let me tell you something my father told me. There are times where you take your enemy head on, and sometimes you wait, until their weakness is revealed.

He left, and I left to the Gun Course. Dash and Kat were bickering over who killed more metal heads.

Dash: 34!
Kat: 36! I win!
Dash: What!!! Let me see that counter...TESS! I THINK THIS THING IS DEFECTIVE!
Daxter: Jan! There you are! I thought you were metal meat! You know I chase after you, risking my TAIL, to keep you from dying!
Janovah: Well, sorry for living my life! I guess I'll just curl up in a corner and do nothing so you can go on as you please!
Daxter: Hey! Don't that tone with me young lady!

I just walked away. I wanted to go find Torn; he probably had something interesting to say.

Daxter: You..You stop right there MISSY!! STOP!!!

I came into Freedom HQ, and I found Torn alone.

Torn: Hey. Nice shooting back there. I wish you hadn't gone though.
Janovah: You knew I could fight, why didn't you stick up for me?
Torn: Because you could have died. I couldn't risk that.
Janovah: If I hadn't gone, you would have died.
Torn: Better me than you. You didn't have to do that.
Janovah: It's what you do; I wasn't going to let you be mauled.
Torn: Hey, you dropped this.

He handed me my seal. Then I left to go on to what was next.
