A/N: My laptop, or my baby as I call it, broke down for a whole week. That is why this chapter took a long time to get out. I was really mad and sad at the same time. My baby is my life. (Pathetic. I know.) It had this big bug in it and took forever to get it out. But it is okay now. So please chapter and review it! Don't own anything from Jak2! Sorry that I'm only responding to only a few people.

Rob the Hedgehog: Thanks for the review. I'm glad you like Tuya/Amber. And the language gap will be gone soon because the girl is a fast learner. I hope I don't disappoint!

Authraw: Roxie is good with beating guys up. If you remember from my second chapter she beat the heck out of Erol. That was funny. I love looking over old chapters. Anywho, glad you liked my new character.

WRTD: Glad you liked Roxie's trick. It made me laugh. And you're very close about Tuya. And dragons do rule! They are SWEET! Thanks for the review!

Red Hawk K'sani: Not a Marry Sue! That was what I've been trying to prevent! But I think I'll change your mind after a few chapters of her. She does have one big fault that you will see later. Thanks for the review and for being honest about my character. I like it when people speak their mind to me.

Chapter 26

"Quickly, quickly!" Daxter whispered to Roxie while shifting to different feet out of nervousness. "Sooner or later someone will find the vault door open and will come after us."

"You can map out the place, Dax," Roxie whispered. She held up one of the guard's security pass to the vault door and it swooshed open. They stepped into the big room with wicked smiles on their faces.

The room was large with around five other little vaults that lined the walls. The floor was made of marble, and the vaults were made of thick glass. The two could see everything inside the compartments. But they were only looking for some cash.

"This one," Daxter said while pointing to one that was filed with different colored money. "How do we get in? Mod never told us about inside the treasure room because he had never been in here."

"Okay," Roxie started while putting her hands on her hips and looking over the situation. "You map out the place while I figure out what to do with the vaults. Maybe that light saber will do it."

"You got it," Daxter said while jumping off her shoulder. Roxie took off her backpack and set it in the middle of the room. Daxter dug into it till he found what he wanted. First he took out a pad of paper and a pen. He then took out a few measuring lasers to get the perfect size of the room.

"Work fast," Roxie told him while taking out the light saber and looking it over. "We don't have all night." She took out a pair of goggles from the backpack and put them around her neck. She then walked over to the glass vault with the money inside.

"With one touch of the glass you set off a ton of alarms," Daxter told her while taking out a tiny camera. "Just be careful."

"Yeah, yeah," Roxie answered while putting her goggles on. "I know, fuzzy. Just let the dice princess do her stuff." Daxter rolled his eyes while taking a picture of a video camera that watched the two work.

"I'm sure they will be coming because they are watching us right now," Daxter said while pointing to the video camera. Roxie gave him a thumbs up sign. She bent down to the vault and used the light saber. A few sparks flew up, but the two did not really care.

"Bingo," Roxie said while she stopped and stood up. She opened the door to the vault with a smile. "Are you done, Dax?"

"Give me a sec," Daxter answered while reading a laser and making note of it on his pad. "Just a few more measurements. This room was too easy. Maybe I should become a map maker when I want to start working full time."

"Ch!" Roxie responded while taking off the goggles. She grabbed a handful of money and shoved it into the pack. "That is like me becoming the leader of a tree hugger group."

"Done," Daxter said while giving Roxie a dirty glare. "Let's get out of here."

"Hold the phone," Roxie said with a wicked smile coming to her face. "Let's leave the Baron and Erol a little note." Daxter raised an eyebrow in interest. Roxie grabbed one of her dice and set it next to the vault. She tore off a piece of paper from Daxter's pad and started to write. It said…

Dear King and his suck up,

It looks like you need more security. We would love to stick around to see your faces, but we have to leave. Love, Dice Princess and Orange Lightning. P.S. In your faces!

Daxter laughed while reading the note and jumped to her shoulder. They ran out of the room, and Roxie grabbed one of the guard's pistols before running down the hall.

"I couldn't help myself," she said with a smile to Daxter. He just rolled his eyes in response. Daxter opened up the palace map again, and they decided to go to the zoomer bay to "borrow" a zoomer for their own.

"This is kind of fun, you know?" Roxie told Daxter while walking into the zoomer bay. She held her hand into the air and sparked up a ball of green eco to light up the room. The place was five times bigger than the last room with zoomers lined up in rows and all painted the same blood red color.

"I guess so," Daxter said with a smile. "It was a lot better than I thought it would be. Too easy."

"Not that easy," came the creepy voice from behind them. The huge flood lights made a loud boom as they came on to revel all of the room.

"Crap!" Daxter and Roxie both said together. Roxie glanced behind her at Erol and did not waist time talking. She started to run down the path of red Krimson Guard zoomers. He took out his pistol and started to shoot at her. She ducked and then hid behind a zoomer.

"We need to open the bay's door," Roxie told Daxter while starting to quickly move around the zoomers. Erol started to shoot at her again, and the bullets bounced off the zoomers. The sound echoed around the bay.

"I'll take care of that," Daxter told her while crawling down her shoulder to the dirty floor of the zoomer bay. "You just find a zoomer you like. And make it good."

"I'll cover you," she said while taking out the pistol. "Go." She then started to shoot at Erol. She saw the surprised look on his face as she almost got him. He rolled out of the way and hid behind a zoomer. Daxter was already gone.

"Take this, you wimp!" Roxie yelled while shooting wildly at the zoomer Erol was behind. It finally blew up with a giant boom and sent Erol flying backwards and into the wall. Roxie let out a whoop of joy and pumped her fist into the air.

"I need backup!" Erol spat into his radio. He got up from the ground while coughing into his fist. This was the second time he would have to take a double shower that week. He then saw the bay's giant door slowly open.

"She is not escaping this time!" he muttered to himself while running toward the power station to close the door. He went into a sprint for the power station. Bullets from Roxie's pistol flew up all around him, but none hit him. She was not used to a pistol. Then they stopped. She was out of bullets. He heard her swear, and her voice echoed around the room as if mimicking her.

Erol got to the steps leading up to the control table. He went up two at a time. He jumped on the last step and did a flip before landing. He searched the panel with a smile on his face.

"Forget it, big ego person," Daxter said from behind. Erol turned his head around with an amused smile on his face. "Don't get too cocky," Daxter said while yanking hard on the cord in his hands. He had tied a cord around Erol's legs.

"AH!" Erol yelled while losing his balance with his legs pulled together. He fell to his face. He looked up to Daxter with a dirty look on his face. But Daxter was already gone.

"Stupid rat!" Erol said to himself while getting up. He pressed the button for the door to close and smiled. "They will never make it," he said with an evil gleam in his eyes.

"Roxie!" Daxter yelled while running down the path of zoomers. "Great, she left me!" he said to himself as he saw nothing. A loud honk sounded behind him. He turned around with a smile and saw Roxie coming at him with a giant KG zoomer. She grabbed him by the back of his neck and set him on the seat next to her.

"Hang on to your seat, Dax," Roxie said while giving him a wink. "This will be close." She then slammed on the gas pedal and they flew forward. The door was almost closed. Roxie put the pedal to the metal.

"AH!" Daxter yelled. They were going to get crushed by the door. At the last second Roxie zipped out of the door. She then forced the zoomer down and did not let up on the gas. "We can slow down now!" Daxter yelled while gripping the seat with wide eyes. They were going straight down.

"No way!" Roxie yelled back over the wind. "This is too much fun!" Daxter felt like he was blasting through that rift gate again at the speed they were going. "I would love to see Erol's face now!" Roxie yelled over to Daxter. He just gave her a strange look to say that she was the most freakiest thing he had ever seen.

Roxie then let off the gas and pulled up as hard as she could. Daxter's stomach felt like it did a flip. Roxie let out a grunt of frustration as she lightly tapped on the brakes to slow the craft down.

At the last moment the cruiser pointed up and it was inches away from the hard ground. Roxie did a few swerves to stay in control and finally returned to normal speed. She glanced over to Daxter and laughed at him. His hair stood up and he gave her a frown.

"That was…SWEET!" Roxie yelled for the whole world to hear. "We should do this more often! How 'bout it?"

"Pass," Daxter said in a monotone voice. "I would rather blow something up. I don't do heights."

"I'll just take Morph with me next time, then," Roxie said with a smile. She glanced over to Daxter and he broke out into a smile. "Ha! Just tell me it was fun! I know you had a blast."

"Fine," Daxter said with his smile widening. "That was SWEET! Whoa-who!" Roxie laughed at him for using her sayings and he laughed too. "It was great, Roxie, but that is enough adventure for one day. Oh no."

"What?" Roxie asked him with her smile fading. She looked down to him and saw that he was looking ahead at something. She looked up and saw what he was looking at. It was Merlander with another girl behind him on a zoomer.

"Just act normal," Daxter said. "Turn here!"

"But Mod's place is straight ahead," Roxie snapped back with annoyance.

"We can't let Merlander see us," Daxter said. "He would freak and tell your mom and dad. Then how would they react?"

"Good point," Roxie said while making the sharp turn. "Do you think they saw us?"

"Roxie!" someone yelled from behind them. "Stop!"

"Uh…yeah," Daxter said with a grim smile coming to his face. Roxie gave a long sigh while slowing her cruiser down to a stop. She slouched down in her seat in defeat. "Look at the bright side," Daxter said with a nervous laugh. Roxie glared at him but he kept going. "No more secrets, right?"

"What the heck are you doing out at two in the morning on a KG cruiser?" Merlander yelled at her. She heard him jump off his zoomer and walk over to hers. His boots crunched the ground below him as he stomped over to her with anger in his footsteps.

"I was…going on a joy ride!" Roxie said while popping her head up over her seat to look over at Merlander. Daxter popped his head up next to her and nodded his head to agree with his friend. They then both gave Merlander innocent smiles. The human girl on his zoomer gave a small giggle at their actions.

Merlander glared at them in silence for a few seconds as if he did not know how to approach the matter. "Forget it," he finally said while looking down to his feet. "I don't care what you do, Roxie." He turned around and stood there.

"I…I'm sorry, Merlander," Roxie said as if she was begging for forgiveness. Merlander smiled as his little trick worked. Roxie was too much of a kid. The guilt trip could work on her any time. "Fine, I'll tell you what we were doing. Dax and I took a trip to the palace and mapped out the treasure room for Mod."

"And we kind of 'borrowed' some money while we were there," Daxter added with a funny tone to his voice.

"Borrowed, ey?" Merlander asked them while turning around. "Define that in detail."

"Um…taking it from the Baron without asking and having no thoughts of bringing it back to him," Daxter said with a smile. Merlander raised an eyebrow at the long description and Daxter and Roxie nodded at the same time.

"You guys are pathetic," Merlander said with a laugh. "I leave you alone for two seconds and you bust into the palace and steal some money and take a cruiser with you. I'm not taking my eyes off you for even two seconds now."

"We borrowed!" Roxie said to correct him. "You said steal. We did not steal."

"Right, sure," Merlander said while walking back to his zoomer. "You're coming with me now back home."

"But we have to go to Moddy's place," Daxter said quickly.

"Moddy?" Merlander asked him in confusion. Daxter nodded and Merlander got it and shook his head in amusement. The name was kind of funny. "Fine, go there and head straight back home. Or I'll tell your parents."

Roxie gasped as she thought of that. "Let's go, Dax!" she said quickly. She started her zoomer and tried to turn the big thing around. She ended up crashing into the building next to it. The gutter broke and sent a waterfall down on Daxter and Roxie's heads.

"Smooth," Merlander said while hopping on his zoomer with Tuya. She stared at Roxie with shock. She had no idea what they had been talking about. She wished so badly to know the language.

"That was just great!" Daxter yelled while sputtering water out of his mouth. Merlander laughed loudly at what had just happened. "Next time be a little bit more graceful, okay?" Daxter shouted to Roxie.

Roxie sat in her seat in silence. The whole zoomer was filled with gross gutter water that had been clogged up with leaves and slim. Now she and Daxter were covered with it. She picked up a soggy leaf off her nose and threw it away.

Merlander kept laughing. Roxie glared at him then got an idea. She grabbed the rest of the gutter and pointed it at Merlander then bent it so it pointed down at him and Tuya. Before he could do anything a spray of water hit his face and Tuya's.

"Feel better now?" Daxter asked her with a smile. Merlander looked himself over. Tuya was gasping in surprise. She glared at Roxie and Daxter with hatred in her eyes that now flashed red in anger.

"Yeah," Roxie answered with a sigh. "Have fun, Mer." He glared up at her in silence. Before he could say anything, she flew away with a laugh.

"She did not just call me Mer," Merlander said.

"You stink," Sig said to Merlander while sniffing at him. He still smelled of gutter water. Merlander was at the Hip Hog Heaven Saloon to get away from Torn and Tuya. The girl was not happy at all. Torn had only sighed when they got back to the Underground.

"Thanks," Merlander said sarcastically. He gave a sigh and held his head in his hands. The two were waiting for Krew to give them a mission for the night. They sat in one of the booths that lit up in a bright blue neon color.

"You look depressed, kid," Sig said with a touch of concern in his booming voice. "What's been eating ya?"

"Nothing really," Merlander lied with a shrug. "I'm just a bit tiered."

"Um hmm," Sig said while folding his arms and looking straight at Merlander with a frown. "You're not the best liar. How 'bout the truth?"

Merlander gave Sig a weak smile while looking away in thought. "I have my mind real busy now," Merlander said slowly. "My parents, uncle, Black Water, Wasteland, and…" He drifted off at the end.

"And what?" Sig asked with a small smile playing his lips.

"And Roxie," Tess said while coming up to them. Merlander glared at her and she giggled. Tess and Merlander had gone on many missions together because they both signed up for the Underground the same time. She was one of Merlander's good friends. Now she worked undercover for Torn at the Hip Hog to spy on Krew.

"Ooo," Sig said while breaking into a wide smile when seeing Merlander's face turn a slight crimson. "He has a girl on his mind." Tess gave a giggle and Sig chuckled.

"It is nothing," Merlander growled at them while rolling his eyes. "Just a girl. My mission was to protect her from my uncle when Black Water was still going."

"Is she cute?" Sig asked with a smile. Sig sometimes saw Merlander as his son. The teen had no love in his life and knew nothing when he first started out. When he said he wanted to work for Krew everyone had laughed. So Sig took it on himself to show the kid some of his stuff, and now they both worked as spies for the Wasteland.

"Oh, you should see her," Merlander said in total distraction. "She has these big green eyes, and her smile can melt your heart." He stopped when he suddenly realized he had just said too much and the two were laughing at him. "Shut up," was all he could say after that.

"Just kidding with you, kid," Sig said.

"What are you three talking about, ey?" came Krew's gruff voice. Tess quickly went back to work as bartender with a guilty smile on her face.

"Just talking about how to push you out the front door," Merlander answered quickly while flashing Krew an innocent smile. Sig looked at Merlander with shock. The teen was getting braver every day.

Krew was steaming. "I want you two to go on a mission for me," he finally said after taming his anger and glared at Merlander. Merlander got out of the booth to only get whacked by Krew's tiny fan. "Sit down!" he yelled at him. Merlander sat back down with a small smile. Sig tried hard not to laugh.

"I have someone coming to give me some money because I sold him some weapons," Krew said with a smile at the word "weapons". He was deeply in love with them and that was one thing that freaked most people out. "You will met in Dead Town. I want you both to go. Just get my money and give them this box." He pointed to a box filled with special guns in it with his fan.

"Seems easy enough," Merlander said while eyeing the box. He took out his pistol and checked on how much ammo he had left. "Just enough if anything goes wrong."

"And we have the peacemaker," Sig said with a smile. "I think we are ready."

A/N: I'm so glad to have my laptop back! I missed it so much! But please give a review! Sorry that it took a long time to get the chapter out. I just watched that show called Avatar. That is the most coolest show! It is really funny too. Sorry for the randomness. I just had two things of Coke so I'm on a caffeine high. Next chapter should be out soon!
