There was Light and Darkness
Disclaimer: Only the OC are mine. There are many of them so I'm not going to atempt to name them. Here are the main four: Colle, Zack, Mora, and Tome. Non-OC are Naughty Dog's.
Sushi:Hmmm...chapter 3 didn't seem to go over too well with everyone...only4 reviews, that's sad. Here is chapter four. This is something I've never done before. I hope it turns out acceptable. I think in this story, the year is currently 2016, feels weird doesn't it?This will be a good chapter if all goes well. Read and enjoy!
I'd like to thank Darkshipposhadowfox for all of his support! Thanks! It means more than you know.
Chapter 4: Time Passes By

It's the day of my niece's ninth birthday. Tala's grown so much over the last year. She looks so much like my sister; it's amazing that she doesn't have her out going spirit. Perhaps she'll find it later on in life like Colle did. They're alike in so many ways yet still so different.
Colle and Jak have been what this city needed for years. The peoples' spirit seemed to have been lifted only minutes after they took the throne. For the last ten years my sister and brother-in-law have ruled peacefully. They've started new programs for the citizens of Haven and the city has prospered. I can only hope that this will continue for many years to come. Unfortuneatly, that isn't very likely. We are prone to war just as the Metal Heads are prone to eco.
18:01:54 hours
Something has happened. There's been sighting of a terrifying creature just outside the city walls. Torn, the still reigning commander of the Freedom League, gave his doubts. He would have dismissed it completely if it hadn't been for one thing: me. I had been the one to report it.
Me along with three other FL soldiers were sent to investigate a shipment of weapons from Spargus. The shipment had been missing for two days. We found it but not without complications. We barely made it out alive. Tome was horribly injured.One of our soldiers was lost. Eaten alive by that monster, no doubt.
Torn has had Tome and I decribe the creature so many times it feels like it will be eatched into our minds for the next month. My encounter with the Rosrucerps had been terrifying enough all thoughs years ago, but now even they don't compare to this new descovery.
Tome's worried. She has never faced a real threat before. He parents were killed during the onslaught of Rosrucerps and metal heads over a decade ago. She doesn't want to have to deal with anything like that again. I told her I would protect her no matter what was going to happen. I said as much to myself that I would keep this promise. She meant too much to just let her drift away.

Kell has turned ten. Ever since I joined the Freedom League, he has talked of nothing else. I can see he'll be just as firey as his parents. He'll be hard to control when he gets older (like father, like son). Maybe Tala will be able to keep him check. He seems very protective of his sisterjust as heis of Torn's little girl, Zara whois eight. It looks like we've all grown quiet and settled down.
Things have grown comical since I joined the Freedom League. I think Torn still sees me as the little boy who was saved by his older sister. He does know I can take care of myself now, but it still seems odd sometimes. The soldiers hardly take their posts seriously. They think the world is at peace, so why bother training? They will regret the day they forgot how time works. I still haven't forgotten how many wars there have been. Lately, I've been keeping an eye open for that strange beast. It just seemed to have vanished like smoke. There hasn't been a trace for almost a month.
Tome's waiting for me. We're meeting some friends at the Naughty Ottsel. We've been doing this a lot lately. I think Tome's finally admitted to herself how important the little things in life are...I'm not talking about her little infatuation with fuzzy things when we were children. I still won't let her livethat onedown...and neither will Daxter, not with as many kits as he has.
23:47:52 hours
The city is in danger. Those same creatures that my squad had encountered just a month ago have invaded our city. Hundreds of people lay dead in the street. The beasts attacked while we were at Dax's place. They're stronger than anything I've ever seen. Torn and Jak were one of the first on the sence. Even Jak had a hard time not getting killed. We lost many that night.
The Dusk-ravs, as we have come to call this new enemy, stayed in the city until the sun rose the next morning. They just disapeared.They left our port a desaster area. With the Dusk-ravs gone, we set about trying to count who was still alive. I still can't believe that something like this could have happened. Tome is in shock. She wouldn't even be here if I hadn't seen what was happening, though it's my fault that she was here at all. I had asked her to join me and a group of soldiers. I would have blamed myself if anything had happened to her. I blame myself for what almost did happen.

I can't take much more of this. Early this morning Colle and Jak sent out groups of our finest fighters to try and get some clues on who the Dusk-ravs truely were. That included me and Tome, but Torn was incharge of who went where. He sent Tome one way and sent me another. He thought I would get destracted if Tome was in danger. He was wrong.
My reconasince came back empty handed. We hadn't seen anything. I came back to the HQ just in time to see Tome being brought in along with four other soldiers. They were all badly injured.
Tome's unconcious now. She been like this for two hours. She hasn't even flinched since she was brought here. Samos says she's not doing so good. He's mended her as best he could, but he didn't know when she would wake up or if she would. There was something inside her that had come from the Dusk-ravs. The other three soldiers had fared better. They had woken up an hour ago.
10:34:12 hours
Tome woke up just moments ago. Everyone was able to relax, but not me. This was the worse yet and there wasn't any telling what whould happen next. Each time Tome went out she always came back worse than the last time. What if she doesn't come back? What if she doesn't wake up? There wasn't a reason to worry about it right now. She was back and safe.
The other soldiers had been able to tell Torn and Jak what had happened. They had been ambushed not long after leaving the city. It was still very dark outside. Tome, who had been in charge of the group, risked her life to save two men. They returned better off than her after the dusk-ravs abandoned their play things. They were only making sport of prey.
Tome was lucky to still be alive. I was lucky she was still alive.

Over half the city has been enilated. The Dusk-ravs have envaded both Haven and Spargus. We are alone in this. If there is anyone out there who can help, we could use it now. There isn't much time. The Dusk-ravs grow in number and we shrink twice daily. I only hope we can hold out until we find a way to beat these things.
The days seem to run together, each filled with more and more bloodshed. They're hunting us down like animals one by one. My comrades grow desprate with each passing day. They talk of how this will be the end of the city.Our troops are losing hope. It's hard to say that they ever had it. Not against the Duck-ravs.Everyday we ask for more volunteers and everyday they come. But they are few now. Even their help can't keep us alive for long. We are dieing but I refuse to give up. I won't let this city fall.
Sushi: Good? Yes? No? Don't want to wait to see what happens in chapter 5? Too bad, because even I'm not sure what's going to happen. Please review and let me know what you think or what I should change. Change is good but too much of it can be a bad thing.
