If you were confused in the last chapter, this one will be H-E-double hockey sticks.
Norcra, the Snathi king sat on his throne. It was in the former Baron's palace, where the former Baron's throne had been. It'd been a few weeks since he and his troops had conquered the city. Although there was still unrest amongst the citizens, he knew they would soon become accustomed to his rule.
You might, at this time, be thinking, "Squirrels. The Snathi are squirrels. So what?" You poor, poor fool. The Snathi aren't very large, a few inches taller than an average ottsel. However, they have very sharp teeth and claws, and are always in large numbers. The higher ranking Snathi also have added telekinetic powers. They sprout invisible arms that can grow and lift things, including people. Now do you understand?
King Norcra was slightly smaller than the average Snathi, but twice as powerful telepathically. That was why he was king.
Usually the leader of a Snathi clan was a queen, a female Snathi, and that's how it was before Norcra's reign. Zaleh was large and arrogant, greedy for power. It was because of this Norcra was able to trick her so easily. Slowly he fed her information on how to get more power, a little at a time. All of a sudden he decided to stop. When the queen was on the edge of going insane, he convinced her to declare him heir to the throne.
"I'll tell you the one secret for ultimate power," he whispered in her ear one night, "If I can be king when you're gone."
Of course the queen agreed, thinking she would be in power for years to come. Unfortunately, he didn't tell her the secret after that. After years of begging, Zaleh's sanity slowly diminished, until, one night, she snapped. She was deemed too dangerous to be a queen, and was taken out from her position.
It wasn't such a bad thing, though. Queen Zaleh was a terrible queen. She didn't do what was right for her people; she didn't know how to lead a clan. There was no hesitance in allowing Norcra into office.
Now Norcra was in charge of a huge army that had conquered a city. A big city. Full of humans. He was pretty happy.
The Snathi was quickly pulled from his daydreams when one of his advisors walked in. "King Norcra, the Krimzon Guard Commander is here, as you requested."
He nodded. "Bring him in." He looked up as the KG Commander walked in. "Hello, Erol." (Holy Crap! Tawt he was DED! OMG!)

"Josh. Josh. Josh. Josh. Josh!"
"Wha-ha-hat!"
"I'm thiiiirrrrsstty!"
Josh pretended to cry. "Why must you complain so? The more you complain, the…weaker I…become…" He began walking slower, and then sat down on a curb. "Whaddaya want me ta do?"
Katie scoffed. "Get drinks for us!"
"Where!"
"Da Naughty Ottsel, Silly!"
"Do they even sell non-alcohol stuff there? Eh, I guess they must..."
"Hey, lady, you might wanna take it easy, there. That's some pretty strong stuff…" Klia was already swaying on her seat.
"Mind your own beeeezzz-wax, bub… I can handle it just fine… gimme another…"
Jak and Daxter looked at eachother, then back at Klia. Her head was resting on the counter, and her short magenta hair was messy. She tried to talk but her mouth was blocked by the counter.
"What?" Jak and Daxter said at the same time.
Lifting her head, she said, louder this time, "I said, 'How'd the counter get so close!'" She then proceeded to laugh. "Whoo!"
"Uh, are we interrupting something?" Jak looked over to the door, and there stood a teenage boy and a small girl, probably his sister. "My sister's really thirst-"
"Look! Look! It's Jak and Daxter!"
Josh clamped his hand over his sister's mouth. It was Jak and Daxter, but she didn't have to go exclaiming like that.
"See, at least somebody recognized me, eh Jak?" Daxter said, nudging his friend. "You're too young too drink most of the stuff here, but what do you want?"
Josh was about to open his mouth to ask what they had, when Katie blurted out, "Apple juice!"
There was a quick moment of silence before Daxter spoke again. "Uh…what?"
"Uh…eh…we're from…somewhere else…we're foreigners, so we don't know everything about this place. Do you have water?"
"Yeah…water, pomma fruit juice, yakkow milk, and…uh, stuff she can't drink," he said, pointing to Katie.
"Water will do."
Daxter nodded and held up a finger to indicate he'd be a minute. Hopping off the counter, he walked over to a door. Poking his head inside, he called out, "Tessy, baby, we have any of those water bottles?"
From beyond the door, Josh could hear a muted reply. "Uh…I think we might…hold on a second…" When Josh leaned over the counter to try to peek in the door, he could hear Tess rummaging through things. After a minute, Daxter closed the door and went over to the shelf of glasses and mugs and began shining them.
"Here you go, Daxter-shnookums," Tess said, opening the door. Jak rolled his eyes at the pet-name.
"Set it down there, Tessy, please." Daxter blew a kiss as the door shut.
Behind Daxter's back, Jak made a gagging motion. Katie giggled.
Pouring some of the clear drink into a mug, Daxter looked up. "What?" When he caught site of Jak's face, he scowled. He placed the milk on the counter. "Oh, yeah, like you and Ashelin never-"
"Dax, okay, stop," Jak said nervously.
So this is how Jak II went down:
Erol: he was gonna do that crash thing, but he lived with crazy burns and stuff. He's still very much Erol, only his helmet is missing. Where's Erol's helmet!
Torn: He didn't become Commander of the KG, because of Erol not being dead. He's still running the Underground because of the Snathi.
Ashelin: Because of Jak, Ashelin isn't next in line to be leader of Haven City. Poor Ashelin. She kissed Jak at the end of Jak II, instead of Jak 3. Oh! Spoiled!
Vin: He didn't die. That's all. He went in the warp gate to escape the Metal Heads.
That's my Jak II. I luff Erol, and Vin. But not as a couple. Blech.
