Response to Robin C.- Not only did Kiera get a new voice but her face looked a bit different as well...it was bugging me and my brother. Hum, I wonder if thats the only reason why they cut Kiera out of the game... oh and thank you much for your comments :D Response to Light-Eco-Sage- Yes, Dragons are fun :D .....Never heard of that book before...is it good? No she was just something I came up with, mainly I was trying to figure out what a horrible curse placed upon someone would be. And I though if someone was cursed to only being around ice, it might be pretty bad...so thats how I came up with the Ice queen... thanks for da comment!

Tess climbed out of her hiding place from what appeared to be the second earthquake. She did not see what caused the second earthquake nor did she really want to know. But she did noticed when the rain turned into snow. She really did not know what was worse at the moment the rain or the new snow.

She was traveling a lot further then she thought she was going to have to, she was devastated to find the hospital in ruins. But she walked on, there had to be a doctor around here somewhere. The snow was starting to get deeper and if she did not find a doctor soon Kiera would die.

Wrapping her arms around herself she started to jog, not only to find a doctor faster but to warm herself up. She was not really dressed for winter and the cold was starting to sting her legs. She jogged on tell she spotted a Crimson guard outpost. There had to be some one there who knew anything at all about internal bleeding or could at lest check if Kiera was internally bleeding.

Tess walked over to the door and pushed it opened. There were a lot of people in this post, wounded were laying on the ground bandaged up and some that were waiting for attention. Some guards were wrapping the hurt and calling to their others for back up. It just seamed wrong to take one of these workers away so they could go with her. But Kiera needed help and she needed it now.

"Where can I find a doctor?" Tess asked as one of the guards looked up.

"All of their hands are full," He replied to her and got back to work on what he was doing.

"My friend needs a doctor at once, she might be bleeding on the inside, but Torns not positive!" Tess said and most of the guards turned and looked at her with the mentioning of Torns name. The one who had spoken to her walked over to Tess and took off his helmet.

"Torn? I suppose we could lend you a doctor, but he has to come back here at once when he's finished patching up your friend, there are a lot of people hurt around the city and more coming in," He said and Tess nodded as he lead her to a back room, where they kept the citizens in critical condition.

"Can any of you spare your hands, there's a girl wounded pretty badly out with Commander Torn," The guard called out and Tess smiled as one of the doctors pulled off his mask and walked over the two of them.

"I'm not sure if we can let any one go, these people are getting worse, and with the snow I'm not sure," The doctor said and Tess frowned, she needed someone and she was not leaving until there was a doctor with her. She was tempted to bring out her gun but she thought it would be best to try and talk them into coming with her.

"One of my best friends is in critical condition, I need one of you to come with me now!" Tess barked and the guard jumped at her sudden change of voice. She did not look as nice as she did when she frist enter the small center. "I don't want to ask again!"

"Let me go doctor, I'm sure I can help out," This time a woman spoke up as she took off her mask and walked over to Tess.

"Lucca!" Tess smiled once again. "I was being to wonder what happened to you these days!"

"Lovely to see you again to Tess," Tess beamed as she looked up at her aunt.

"But there will be time to chit chat later, Kiera needs us right away, until Samos can come back form where ever he is running around, Kiera's life is on the line!" Tess said as she grabbed onto Luccas arm and the two of them headed out of the center and back into the snowy streets. Tess lead the way as they were a good walk away from the Naughty Ottsel. Thought the two of them moved as quickly as they could because the snow was started to come down harder and faster, it appeared they were about to have a blizzard.

Naughty Ottsel

Torn sat and waited in the back room checking Kiera's breathing once and a while. He once looked around for a heater, but it made sence that Daxter would not have one installed, saying no one could remember the last time there was ever snow in this city. However he had walked around and found some wood so he could make a fire.

He felt himself always wanting to go to the palace and check on Ashelin, but he told Jak he was not going to leave Kiera alone, he was going to stay true to their word until someone came in this place to watch over her. All he could do for Ashelin right now was hope she was all right. Also that the rest of the workers in the Barons palace were all right as well.

Feeling a bit skittish Torn stood up and walked to the door of the Naughty Ottsel. It would not hurt if he waited outside for a few moments. The doors opened and he stepped out into the snow, a gust of wind blew past him as he almost fell. There was no one out in the streets around the docks, with the snow and vines, it did make sence. Torn then looked out at the water of the docks as the ice started to get thicker. What ever was under there was now trapped under the layers of ice.

However he could not easily forget the massive size it was on his radar. Just sitting in the water, he wanted to know what it was. He took a few steps towards the docks as the snow was starting to pile up on his hair. His last step he took sent his foot right threw the snow. And it was not just the snows fault.

Torn looked down at what he had stepped into. It was a foot print, a very large one at that. It was in the shape of the leaper dragons prints but only about twenty times larger. His eyes moved forward to where another foot print would be. He walked over to it and gazed at the next foot print that was slowly being cover in snow.

What in the world was making these marks? He was tempted to fallow them to see but he turned back around and headed back towards the Naughty Ottsel. He was not dressed to be out in the snow, he only had on a jacket that was not helping to much, nor could he leave Kiera. He had to push the doors opened to get back inside and the warmth of the fire greeted him. He sat down next to it and watched the door. Someone was going to have to come soon, and he knew that soon he was going to have to go back out there and dig out the snow from in front of the door, so they could get.

Once he was warm again Torn got up and walked into the back room where Kiera was lying. However there was something different about her. Her head was moving slightly and her fingers were gripping onto the bed sheet as if someone was trying to take them away from her. Torn ran to her side and took her hand in his own as Kieras eyes slowly started to open. Torn sighed with a great deal of relief at least she would be living for a little while longer.

"How ya feeling Kiera?" Torn asked and Kiera looked around the room as her vision was starting to come back to her.

"Jak....where's Jak....?" She asked softly as Torn patted her hand.

"Jak went off to find your father, So he could heal your wounds, or try at least," Torn said soothingly, trying to comfort her when he knew she was in extreme pain. "Jak got ya out from under the rubble of your house, a little later and you might have died."

"Jak...."Kiera said softly as she tried to keep her eyes opened but she was in so much pain that it just seamed like a burden to keep them open, so she let them close. Kiera mumbled a few other things as Torn put her hand back down on the bed. She needed to rest, he was just glad she had not died on him instead. He did not want to see another one of his friends die.

Torn got up from his spot as he heard some one banging on the door. Running over to it he helped who ever it was pry open the door as the wind was blowing a lot stronger then it was when Torn was out there. Torn smiled with delight as Tess jumped in the naughty Ottsel followed by the doctor she had found.

Thought he was grateful that there was a doctor around he was not exactly thrilled to see which doctor Tess had decided to bring back with her. Torn had meet Doctor Lucca when he first became a Crimson guard. He had fallen in love with her and the same with her to him. However, he found out she was married to one of his friends. Torn turned his back on her and she had disappeared from his life, and a little later his friend had found out what Torn had done and went crazy. Which Torn had pretty much expected.

He did not, however expect to find out his friend had killed himself just days later. Torn had always avoided Lucca after that, it had been quite some time sence he had seen her, and today was to soon to see her again. Lucca looked over at the person who had helped them open the door, she was not exactly thrilled to see Torn either but that did not keep her from smiling slightly at him.

"Torn," Lucca said.

"Lucca," Torn responded as Tess and Lucca were warming up by the fire. Tess eyed the both of them as the butterfly flutter over from where it was sitting behind the bar and landed on Tess's shoulder.

"Well thats great that you guys already know one another that means we don't have to waist our time on introductions! Come on Lucca, Kiera's back here," Tess said as the two women walked into the back room. Torn followed behind them slowly but staid at the door frame to keep out of their way.

"Has she woken up at all?" Lucca asked and Torn crossed his arms.

"Just once, we have a brief conversation and she went back to sleep," Torn said and Lucca turned and looked at him.

"She must have felt safe being watched by the leader of the Crimson guards," Lucca said and Torn did not make a response to that. Torn walked over to Tess and took the gun she was holding and put it over his shoulder. She really did not need that right now.

"I need to go to the palace, something strange went down there a hour or so ago, I have to make sure Ashelin is okay," Torn said and Tess turned towards the dresser she was standing buy and opened it. She pulled something out and handed it to Torn.

"If you see Daxter out there, make sure he puts those on, so he does not freeze to death!" Tess said as Torn looked at the pair of Ottsel sized pants he was holding. Torn nodded in agreement as he put them in his pocket and started to head towards the door of the Naughty Ottsel. He took the gun so he could clear a path so when Jak and Daxter ever came back with Samos they would not have to spend all day unburying the door.

Taking the door in his hands Torn pushed it opened against the wind and headed outside. It was hard to see out here but he would have to manage. He started walking with the wind so he would go a lot faster, if he kept with the wind he would be at the palace in no time.

"Hold on Ashelin I'm coming," Torn said to himself as he started running as fast as he could.

Some where in Haven City (snows to thick I can't tell .)

"Ja ja ja jaaakkkk, w we we weee needdd tooo to hurryy uppp...." Daxter said as he was curled up in the back of Jaks shirt, keeping the back of Jaks neck warm. The two of them were moving as fast as they could on Jaks hover board but it was proving to not be as useful as the two of them would have liked. They were desperately trying to get to Onins house, but the wind was blowing them away from that direction. Both Jak and Daxter had their goggles on which helped them out tremendously to see threw the thick snow. Jak wanted to answer back to his fuzzy friend but he was more or less trying to concentrate on getting them where they were spouse to be going.

Jaks fingers were freezing and he did not feel that well either. But the two of them pressed forward, with all this snow the two of them hardly noticed any of the strange things that were going on around them. Or they were trying not to.

Jak spotted a turn and with all his might turned right and the two of them were in an alley way. Jak got off his hover board and pulled his red cloth from down in front of his face. It was not much warmer in the alley way but there was lest wind blowing.

"Were going to have to wait tell the wind dies down, there is no way I can make it threw that," Jak said disappointed in himself. If he only had a hover car it would be a lot easier, they went a lot faster then his hover board. He dropped down on the ground and let his legs lay in the snow.

"You can't give up Jak! Kiera's depending on you!" Daxter said as he crawled out of Jaks shirt and jumped down in front of him.

"I'm not.....I'd never let her die Daxter," Jak said as he crossed his arms, it was getting a lot colder, now he wished the rain was back and this crazy snow would just disappear.

"Thats good to hear," Daxter said as he walked a little ways away from Jack. He then tripped and fell into a hole. Daxter jumped up and looked around as if someone tripped him. He climbed up the side of the hole and looked into it, and to his surprise it was not really a hole at all but a foot print. Daxter walked around the foot print and studied it carefully.

Daxter leaned in closer when he felt someone breath on his back. Daxter frowned and narrowed his eyes as the breathing went on. He was getting kind of irritated.

"Jak could ya stop breathing on my back?" Daxter asked rudely as he waved his hand in the hair.

"Dax what are you- holy shit! Daxter!" Jak called out and jumped to his feet as Daxter turned around and screamed as there was a large set of jaws behind him. Daxter jumped back into the footprint as the jaws snapped down on nothing but air.

Daxter scattered out of the footprint and ran behind Jak who took out his blaster rifle and aimed it at the large purple creature who almost had Daxter for Lunch. The thing turned towards Jak and gave a low growl, angry that he had missed his prey.

"You big ugly lizard!" Daxter yelled "What are you waiting for Jak shoot it!"

Jak aimed his blaster pistol and started to fire. The lizard took the frist hit, and then stood up and took a couple more. After about ten shots Jak stopped as the giant lizard glared down at them as if they had been poking him hard on the side instead of shooting him.

"What is that spouse to be doing to me?" The lizard roared down on them and Daxter and Jak looked at one another and then back at the lizard. It talked.

"Your spouse to be dead you lizard!" Daxter yelled out and the Dragon frowned deeply as if they had just gravely insulted him.

"Dragon! Not lizard you simple minded Ottsel!" The Dragon roared loaded which knocked Jak off his feet and backwards into the snow. "No wonder your a dragons diet! To stupid to live and be anything else but food!"

"Ottsel eating lizard!" Daxter cried and ran back into Jaks shirt. "He's all yours buddy."

"Thanks Dax," Jak said as he got back to his feet and brushed off some of the snow. "Sorry Dragon but your not going to eat Daxter!"

"I wont mind eating you either boy," The dragon said in is low deep voice as he charged at Jak. The Dragon tried to bite Jak but he jumped into the air and landed on the dragons head, he reloaded his gun quickly and aimed it. He fired a few more times but still it was not having any effect on this dragon what so ever.

The dragon lifted it's large claw and smacked Jak off his head. Jak went flying towards the wall, he kicked his feet out as he crouched down slightly and pushed off the wall towards the Dragon. The dragon turned as best he could in the small space and hit Jak with his tail.

Jak was back down in the snow and all out of ideas. He tossed his gun to the ground and looked up at the giant beast as it walked towards him. Daxter peaked out of Jaks shirt but when he saw the dragon coming towards them he went back into hiding.

"Your puny little weapons can't hurt me! I'm a dragon! And everyone knows a dragon can only be killed with a sword into it's brain!" The Dragon said as Daxter came crawling back out of Jaks shirt with a few smart remarks to say to the dragon.

"Well, thanks for telling us how to kill you, no wonder there is only one of you around," Daxter said and the dragon blew some smoke out of it's nose.

"You don't even have a sword fuzzball," The dragon shot angery and Daxter looked at Jak.

"Maybe we should just run now..."Daxter said softly, the dragons eyes flared.

"I've had enough of you two!" The Dragon yelled once again as he opened his mouth and a fireball started to form. Jak and Daxter make a strange little sound in unison as Jan ran over picking up his gun and Hover board as he jumped on it and started to fly out of the Alley way. The Dragon shot the fire from his mouth as it went flying after Jak and Daxter.

Daxter screamed as Jak turned and the fire ball went flying towards a building. The building exploded as Jak and Daxter were now going with the wind and were flying down the street as the dragon got up and roared in anger as they disappeared.

Jak put is arms out of the side as he was trying to keep his balance. He turned once again into another alley way as Daxter let out a sigh as they were away from that ottsel eating dragon. Jak hopped off her hover board again as the two of them walked threw the Alley.

"Haven city is really going down hill, frist the earthquakes, and then the vines and weird bugs and of course this lovely snow and then wadda ya know a lizard that can't be killed!" Daxter yelled angery as he was not even sure which part of the city they were in now.

"It wont do us any good to get mad about it, we'll just have to find another way to get to Onin," Jak said trying to stay cheery about the whole situation. Which was rather hard to do.

"Get mad, oh I'm not mad Jak I'm freaking boiling over here!" Daxter said. "Why does this stuff always have to happen to us?!"

"Jak? Daxter?" The two of them stopped as they heard Torns familiar voice. Maybe they were saved after all. "Where have you guys been?"

"You don't really wanna know!" Daxter said angrily as he looked at Torn approach them threw the snow.

"Tess and Doctor Lucca are with Kiera, I'm heading toward the palace if you want to come with me?" Torn asked, as he was trying to take something out of his pocket.

"We might as well, we can't get to Onins place until this wind dies down," Jak said and Daxter smiled as Torn handed him the pair of pants. Daxter hugged them and the three of them started off towards the palace which was only across the street from where they were standing. Daxter put on his pants and felt a little bit better.

"Well just keep in mind Torn, that if you see a dragon, don't shot it," Daxter said as the palace looked as welcoming as this storm did.

A/N:: This was not the best chapter I have written so far...should have added more with the dragon, but how much do you want with a dragon that can't be killed? There's a bit of fighting in the next chapter as well but the group into the same problem. Also the evil guy in mentioned in this next chapter woop, but you don't get to see him quite yet. Oh and thats not the last time you see the purple dragon, there are 3 more to...and lots of other fun stuff :D

Oh right new character introduced....Lucca...I made her up cause everyone is going to get hurt...a lot in this story and I figured instead of rushing them allllllllll to the hospital eeevvvveeeerrryyyyy ttiiiiimmmeee they got hurt that it would be best if they had their own doctor. Thats where Lucca came in, and I gave her a back ground story so she would not be boring. You shall find out her background in-depth later. also I wanted another reason to put Torn more in the story...cause Torn is a sexy bitch :D More drama for da sexy one!
