"Aye, but the tasks will not come so easily and light-hearted." Resounded Seem from the darkness. "We cannot depend on Jak as much as we have before, for this new evil is closer to him then I find comfortable." Jak's eyes narrowed rapidly as he shot a glance at Seem.

"What the hell do you mean?" Sniped Jak as Sig eye's also widened. Concerned expressions swept over Nyjah's and Kavics' faces as they lowered their weapons to their side, looking around the darkness anxiously. Seem was already shaking her head.

"I do not have all the answers, hero. All that I see is an unimaginable power, consumed of the same hatred that has betwixt you. This force feeds off Dark Eco and all of it's components, taking advantage of the substance however he pleases..." The pool of Eco began to slowly brew behind them as Seem talked, flaky pieces of Darkness clouding the air just above it. "...it can manipulate and control Dark Eco, you see." A horrified look creased Jak's face as he heard these words, realizing that he was almost 50 Dark Eco already. There was nothing he could do about that. "...Jak, you cannot fight this being alone. I...I will teach you the ways of the Monk. Harmless in our demeanor, we still know how to defend ourselves. My Monk's and I can teach you how to fully control that Dark substance pulsing through your veins, giving you the ability to power your body more than you could ever imagi-" Seems words of destiny were thrown aside as the pool of Dark Eco erupted into a swirling vortex of darkness, the rocks and bugs around it flying into the air. The force of the blast launched Seem to the ground as Sig fell back, hitting Nyjah and Kavic with his wide arms. The wind picked up phenominaly as Daxter flew backwards, smashing into Jak's right leg as his tongue flailed around comicly. But...Jak stood firm, horrified, but firm. And then, amongst the commotion that reverberated throughout the entire cave all so suddenly, a booming voice exploded from within the Dark Eco...

"HAHA! You stupid boy! I am back!" The pupils in Jak's horrified eyes shrank to small dots as he gaped in fear and awe.

"GOL! YOU...YOU-"

"Yes! That god-forsaken Silo that you and your b17ch-rat trapped me in sustained me! I was the god d4mn Sage of Dark Eco you ignorant little pest!" His eyes flared up into burning balls of yellow fear as he said that last line, the Eco flaming up around him as if angered. "What made you think you could destroy me! I was so CLOSE! GAH!" Newly received blade-like fangs jutted out of his mouth as he opened it this time. "And you managed to stop me! Your lucky that little rat of your was so modest, or you'd have both been burning the fiery creation of evil right now! You out-minded me, destroying my beautiful, robotic creation with your so-called light powers and KILLING MY SISTER!" Everything around the two flared up in flame as the rocks slammed against one another, hatred and merciless power clearly controlling the phenomina happening around them. "That was your mistake, dear boy. She was going to keep the search on for those dark creations long after I had died...but now...the time is limited! And you will pay for limiting your inevitable fate!" With these terrible words he shot his arms into the air abover him, a purple dark aura glistening off his body as the Eco stormed around Jak and his friends. "YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HIDE THIS TIME!" Bellowed Gol, thrusting his hands out at Jak as if reaching for him. Jak went for his gun as his eyes teared from the wind, grabbing the handle and then-freezing. What was happening? A malicious smile shadowed Gol's snickering face as he raised his hands in the air, lifting Jak up with some powerful force. Sweat began to drench Jak's face now. Gol had somehow been controlling him...it was...impossible. "You will pay for your treachery...for locking me in that god-forsaken silo for all those years...for destroying my sister...for DESTROYING MY LIFE!" Tears and sweat whirlpooled around Gol as he let out a deafening and booming scream into the darkness, awakening Sig and the others and blinding Jak with pain. A terrifying scream emmited from Jak's mouth as Gol squeezed his fists as hard as possible, letting out all the rage he had bottled up for Jak. Jak cried in pain as he moaned and screamed, feeling as though his insides were being ripped from out of him at the moment. His stomach turned and flipped, his skin ripping in little spots all over his body as blood trinkled out of them. It felt as if his heart was being ripped apart every second, phenominal and unbearable pain surging throughout his entire body every second!

"AAAAAAAH! AAAH! SOME...AAH! HEL-"

"NO!" Sig boomed into the painas he shot up two guns, at Gol. ... Firing madly, gunfire lit up the cave as he unloaded waves of bullets on Gol, thick smoke storming out of the barrels of his weapons. "HANG IN THERE JAK!" Sig kept on firing wildly as Daxter gained consciousness as well. Rubbing his head, he noticed Jak.

"Oh my god..." Daxter's eyes and mouth widened in horror as he felt a pain beyaond belief, like the stabbing of a needle through his heart. "I'M COMIN' JAK! Daxter jolted on top of Nyjah, slapping him across the face as he woke up Kavic with his tail. "JAK NEEDS US!" Kavic immediately sprang to life, firing his weapon at Gol as Nyjah hastily pushed himself up as well. Grabbing one of Nyjah's pistols, Daxter jumped onto Sigs head, firing as best as he could at the monster. But among all this...Gol only grunted. Bullets pierced his liquidy surface as he let go of Jak, spinning around himself madly as he screamed back into the Dark Eco, unloading a massive cry of hatred as he dove back into the deep pool of darkness, vanishing once again... "Watch out!" Daxter grabbed all over Sig's face as a huge bubble suddenly began to boil over the surface, an evil laugh bouncing off it's thin walls.

"TAKE COVER!" Sig, Nyjah, Kavic, and Daxter all lunged behind nearby rocks, dodging the enormous blast of Dark Eco as it collided with Jak and Seems' unconscious body's lying motionless on the ground...
