As they came in, Daxter was trying to get Tess to talk to him.. there were a few tears on her face as Daxter seemed to be trying to get her to forgive him for something..

"What did you do this time Dax?" In a moment Daxter perked up and ran up to Jak disbelievingly..

"Jak! Your back! how did you get away from that bitch?!" the girl leaned over from behind Jak curiously.. pointing to herself as she spoke..

"who me?" Dax jumped and sat on Jaks shoulder making him spin a little as he tried to keep track of the frightened ottsel..

"its her! Jak what are you doing with her?! she was the one who knocked you out even when you went all dark! We'll get her this time! you an me buddy we can take her down!" She reached over in a swift motion and grabbed Daxter around the waist, as he struggled she started rubbing his chin and he couldn't help but relax as she hit his soft spot.. "dont think that I wont still kick your ass.. - oh a little to the right - Me an Jak are gonna make you wish.. -" he didn't finish as she rubbed his head..

"I assume he is a friend of yours? he put up quite a lot of fighting words after I knocked you out a while ago.." Tess finally looked up and saw the three, ignoring Daxter she got up and strod to Jak..

"Are you alright? I saw her after she knocked you out but it was like I couldn't move.. I was mesmerised in a way at how quickly the fight was over.. who is she Jak?" she looked over to where the girl had sat down, now with Daxter on her lap as she rubbed him between the shoulderblades..

"I dont know.. she says she doesn't even remember her own name.. but aparently she is the most recent expariment of the barons.. it doesn't look like it but she seems like quite the fighter.. she even got Erol to shut up with a threat she made while smiling.. its wierd.. but I pity her." he also was looking over to them, who had completely forgotten that Jak and Tess were there..

"You aught to check in with Torn about her.. She did help you after all, and if shes as powerful as she seems, she would be a great addition to the underground.."Jak looked uncertain..

"Im not sure.. her loyalties seem to waver with the wind.. the only reason she didn't hand me over was because I asked her not to.. she doesn't seem to care who gives her an order.. The Baron must have really messed up her head with the way she thinks.. its like shes got no more will of her own.." Tess seemed frightened..

"but then what are we supposed to do? we could keep her off the front line so the baron cant get her back but she wouldn't have much use off it. her power seemes to even surpass you Jak.. it would be unfair to lock her up so Praxis cant get to her just because of how she thinks. its the barons fault shes like that anyway.." Jak nodded, equally unsure..

"I guess we take her to see torn.."

"we going somewhere?" Daxter had fallen asleep on her lap.. she had been listening in on their conversation without their notice..

"er.. yes. were gonna meet a friend of mine.."

~~~~~~~

"We cant trust her." Torn was very straight-forward as Jak told him the situation. The girl was looking through the weapons closet without touching anything.. "You were already stupid by bringing her here."

"but what are we supposed to dothn? Leave her for the baron to torture and use against us?!" both Jak and Daxter grew angry at Torns cold detachedness.

"Kill her. Shes still the enime if she attacked you even if she didn't end up handing you back ot the baron."

"Shes like a kid! she doesn't deserve to die!" Torn stood up from his chair to enforce his words..

"If you dont kill her than I will. AS child-like as her mind may be, she is too powerful to be kept alive and braught back to her master!"

Daxter was about to make argument when he saw everyones reaction to something behind him.. "What the hell is everyone looking ... at?" he turned around to see a gigantic metal head right behind him.. in front of it was the girl, stroking its face and speaking in harsh tones identical to the roars of metalheads..

She turned around beaming happily at the three like she was just playing a moment before.. "He says we can meet Kor."
