HNG: Y'arr! I haven't read the reviews yet but I'm really excited. Lol. Anyway, here's the next chapter.
Some language. (Also contains the appearance of my second fan character)

Torn stood face to face with the teen, who seemed scared, yet glad to see him.

"Who are you?" Torn managed to force out, his brow creased.

"I-I'm Ry…" the teen mumbled, stammering at the same time.

"Ry! Who are these people bothering you?" A man with short blue hair, wearing a red overcoat came strutting over, and a cigarette sat contently between his yellow gloves. "Oh I believe we meet again Jaky boy." He sneered at Jak upon seeing him. "Now Ry, are these people bothering you?" the man asked resting his hand on the teen's shoulder.

"No, Razor…just some friends…" Ry assured him.

"Alright then, so long, Jak." The man known as Razor gave a small wave and walked off laughing quietly to himself.

"Is he your father?" Jak asked curiously.

"No, he's been like it though. I never knew my father." Ry said lightly.

"I know how that feels, I'd been fighting by his side for years, then when he died I was told he was my father, he never even knew." Jak trailed off, remembering the last time he was with Damas. He shook out of his trance. "Make sure you find him, kid." Jak nodded at the teen.

"Will do." He said, turning back to his car.

"Are you on the circuit?" Ashelin asked Ry, recognising the car.

"Yeah, my mom wants me to do something useful." He giggled lightly.

"RY!" was called through the garage. The young teen flinched at his name being called.

"Yes mom?" he called back, not as loud.

"Who's in the garage? I swear if you're wasting time when you should be repairing that car of yours then I'll kick your ass!"

The teen grinned. "Mom you couldn't even kill a scorpion metal-head!" he called back through and continued working on his car.

"Metal heads! They're only found near Haven!" Daxter cleared his throat. "Um, excuse me, Tattooed wonder wannabe." Ry looked at Daxter strangely. "Yeah, um, did you live in Haven City at one point?" he asked.

"No, never been, I'd like to go sometime." The speaker crackled on the wall.

"Could all racers please report to the starting line."
Ry looked up at the speaker. "Sorry guys, I gotta go."

"S'alright, we got to go there too." Daxter grinned at Jak as the group separated for the race line.

Torn, Jak, and Ashelin pulled up to the line, and gave a small signal to each other to say good luck. Then Ry pulled up beside them.

"Hey guys." He grinned at Jak.

"What are you doing here!" Ashelin asked shocked.

"Racing." Ry simply replied. Ashelin rolled her eyes at him. Two racers were still missing. Another random man pulled up, and another racer with a helmet on. Daxter glared at Jak.

"See! That person there is taking safety precautions!" Jak hit Daxter and started his engine. The light turned green and the teen shot ahead, passing the first check point around the corner.

"Holy shit!" Torn muttered trying to keep up with him. After a brutal race, Jak came first, Torn second, the helmeted driver third, Ry and Ashelin tied and the random guy last.

The drivers got out of their vehicles and shook hands at the end of the race.

"Nice driving for your first race." The driver with a helmet said to Ry. The driver turned and saw Ashelin, Jak and Torn. Who ever it was left quickly.

Torn ignored their hurry to leave and went over to Ry.

"That was your first race?" he asked amazed. Ry nodded.

"Yeah, my mom has been training me." He said proudly.

"We'll have to meet her then." Jak chuckled walking over.

"I know. She'll be happy to see you…I think…" he scratched behind his ear. "Never mind, let's just get back to my garage." Ry murmured, jumping into his car. The rest got into theirs and followed Ry back to his garage, parking it in one of the spare spaces. He hopped out and used his key card and opened the front door to his home.

"Mom! I'm home! We have guests!" he said casually, throwing his bag of tools down on the floor beside the stairs. He walked into the living room, no one there. Kitchen, empty too.

"She must be training…" Ry said to himself. "Come on, she'll be in the back garden." And he was right, a woman in her early thirties had a stereo playing some rock, her blue hair went down to her waist, and ice blue eyes to match. She had her ears pierced twice and her left eyebrow. Time seemed to slow down to the guests upon seeing her; she jumped lightly from side to side, attacking a punch bag. She stopped and scratched her nose. Turning around time seemed to stop completely. Her eyes swelled up.

"Torn?" she whispered.

"Cat!" Torn ran fore ward and threw his arms around her, pressing his lips against hers.

"Torn…what are you doing?" Jak asked quietly, his eye twitching lightly.

"It has been fourteen years Jak." Torn grumbled facing him

"Yes, but she's my sister." Jak's rage was growing. Cat gave a look to Torn to tell him that he was going to find out soon, very soon.

"Mom?" Cat turned around and faced Ry. "Is this him?" he asked unsurely. Cat nodded as tears fell down her face. Ry's eyes seemed to light up and he jumped on Torn, laughing insanely, and hugging him strong.

"C-C-Cat?" Torn stammered.

"Say hello to Ry Mar." She giggled.

"Oh dear God." Torn mumbled and looked at Jak, who was furious. "I'm a father?" Cat nodded.

"Dude! It's uncle Jak!" Ry jumped off Torn and hugged Jak. His anger lowered only a little.

"Please tell me he's my nephew because of when you were drunk…" Jak mumbled, feeling a little faint.

Torn and Cat looked at each other. "Jak…" Torn begun, Cat sighed heavily and took over.

"We weren't drunk…it was completely voluntary…" Ry was hugging Torn again, Ashelin gob smacked, and Cat and Torn prepared for fury from Jak. He let Dark Jak out, skin turning pale and eyes jet black. He raised his heavy hand to Torn when Cat stood in front of Torn, in a flicker of white sparks, her skin was glowing white, upon opening her eyes, they were glowing white also, and a shield was covering the three. Jak immediately turned back to normal.

"You have light powers?" Jak asked, as Cat nodded slightly.

"As do you." Her voice was calm, the white sparks appeared again and Cat returned to normal.

"Cat, it's great to see you and all, but we don't have time for this, our time is running out." Jak sighed. Her smile fell

"What do you mean?" She looked at the three racers, demanding an answer.

Torn sighed heavily. "We've been poisoned. If we don't win the circuit then we'll die." Her heart shattered. Did she hear him right? She did didn't she? This was horrible. Fourteen years with out seeing her true love, and he could be snatched away just like that.

"Cat! What is going on here?"

HNG: Cliiiff hangaaar! Well…not really. Review!
