It was hard to navigate through this part of the city. Metal heads everywhere and the threat of falling into the green slime below. It was even hard to see. Lani and Jak did their jobs by blowing up metal heads from in front and behind. Jo kept grabbing onto Lani's arm in fear.

" Will you let go of me?" she said pulling her arm away. "If you're so scared, why didn't you just stay behind? It was your idea to come in here at night."

Out of nowhere a rather large metal head grunt jumped on Lani. It was practically the same size she was and weight a lot more. With its large claws it swung and slashed Lani's arm. She yelled out in pain as blood began to spill out from the wound. Jak quickly shot and killed it. Lani pushed the animal's body off of her with her good arm.

"You keep acting like that Jo, you're gonna get us all killed!" Jak said helping Lani to her feet.

"Well sorry!" Jo said.

Lani had the metal head's warm blood all over her. Jak placed his hand over her bleeding wound. The pain was unbearable. Jak used what little Light Eco powers he had to heal the gash.

"Thanks." Lani said

"No problem." Jak replied

"What's in there?" Corissa asked pointing to a cave. Everyone looked up.

"Last time we were in there," Jak said. "There was a bunch of Dark Makers."

"But we destroyed them." Daxter said.

"It led to the top of the metal head tower." Lani said, "But we blew it up…or Erol did…so it should be empty."

"Oh, no. There is no way I'm goin' in there!" Jo said backing up.

" I don't want to go either." Corissa said.

"We have to." Lani said. " Besides the catacombs this is the last place in the city."

"No, we didn't check the Palace and Stadium ruins." Jak said. "Jo refused to go in there."

"You got her to in the sewers?" Daxter asked.

"As if. I went in by myself." Lani said. "But if you guys are so scared then you can stay here and be metal meat. But we're going in."

"Since you put it that way…" Jo said running in.

"Yeah, these things don't look very friendly." Corissa said.

"Right this way then." Lani said leading them in.

It was a little easier to maneuver in here than out in the city. Until they reached a cliff.

"Now what?" Corissa asked.

Jak looked over at Lani and had a devious smile on his face.

"Don't look at me like that!" Lani said. "There is no way I'm carrying all of you up there!"

"But Lani," Jak began. "You know you have a higher concentration of Light Eco in your body than I do. Here's your chance to show what it can do."

"You know I like my Dark side more than my Light!"

"So? Will you do it for me?" Jak pleaded. It was hard to say no to his deep blue eyes.

"Oh, fine."

Like magic she floated in the air and turned an electric blue. Her eyes turned completely white and spider-like wings appeared. Jo and Corissa stood in shock.

"I'll get you for this." Light Lani said. She noticed the looks on Jo and Corissa's faces. "What? You should see Jak when he's Dark."

"C'mon Lani!" Jak said. "Let's go!"

She sighed and reluctantly carried each person one by one. When she was done, she lied on the ground. Exhausted she was.

"You could have done this freakin' job yourself and you know it Jak!" Lani said.

"Yes I do but it's better when you do it." Jak said.

"You always say that!"

"Because it's true!"

"Because you're lazy!"

"What! If anyone's lazy it's Daxter!"

"Hey!" Daxter said

"Oh, will you two shut up! God…" Jo said.

"I deserve to be carried the rest of the way." Lani said.

"Fine." Jak said.

Jak allowed Lani to climb onto his back, giving her a piggyback ride. This forced Daxter to move from Jak's shoulder to Lani's. The one without the spiked plate of course. They continued on until they reached a wall.

"This looks like a job for Dark Jak!" Lani said hopping down.

Jak turned Dark unprepared for his followers' reaction. One look at Dark Jak and Jo and Corissa both freaked. The screamed and ran off.

"What?" Dark Jak asked.

"I told you." Lani said. " I'll go get them."

She walked off. Dark Jak performed the Dark Strike, blasting the wall to bits. He returned to normal as Lani brought Corissa and Jo back.

"You both are freaks." Corissa said.

"Yeah I know." Lani said. "We get that a lot. Now let's go!"

And on they went. There was a big room. Standing inside was a girl. She looked about Jak's age. Her hair was long, coming down to almost the middle of her back. It was orange and she had red bangs. She seemed pretty normal, until she turned to look at those who entered. She looked as though she was in a trance with eyes that glowed completely bright red. She had a red shape on her forehead that looked kind of like a star.

"Welcome." She said. "I am Ivy and I--" Jo grabbed her by the arm.

"What did you do to my brother!" he yelled at her. "I know you have something to do with this."

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Daxter said.

"What? She doesn't look so tough." Jo said.

But it was too late. She pulled her arm away and punched Jo in the face. He was propelled through the air and landed in front of the others. His nose began to bleed. She had broken it and looked angry.

"Never underestimate the power of Red Eco." She said.

"Red Eco? I thought only Dark and Light existed?" Jo asked getting to his feet.

"There are 6 types total." Lani said.

"Red Eco increases strength." Jak said.

"Great. Now I know 3 Eco freaks." Jo said jokingly.

"As I was saying," Ivy continued."I am Ivy and I do know where your brother is."

"See? I told you!" Jo said. "Where is he?"

Ivy laughed. "That is for you to figure out. But we will give you clues through riddles."

" We?' " Jak asked

"This girl is statin' to freak me out." Daxter said.

"I hate riddles…" Lani said.

"So what's the first clue?" Corissa asked.

"The land in Haven City touched only by our creators, you can gaze into their eyes and see the stars."

"What kinda clue is that?" Jo asked

"Good luck." Ivy said, eyes glowing mysteriously. Just then the room began to shake. They all turned around to see the entrance beginning to collapse.

"Let's go before we get trapped!" Jak said.

Everyone ran. Just as Lani reached the door, Ivy used the power of Red Eco to cause the rest of the rocks to fall and block her only exit. Lani stopped and looked in horror. In a burst of anger Lani punched Ivy right in the face. Big mistake. Ivy's eyes began to glow again as she attacked Lani. She fought back but soon realized she was no match for Ivy's Red Eco enhancement. Ivy kicked Lani in the ribs, a crack was heard and she fell to the ground. Coughing up blood she knew she couldn't fight anymore for fear of dying.

"What do you want from me?" Lani struggled to say, blood steadily dripping from her mouth. Ivy walked over to her and grabbed her by the collar of her shirt.

"We know what you are." She said.

"I don't understand…"

"We've been waiting for you. We know all about your Eco powers. Your boyfriend's too. The two of you will be of use to us."

"Who said Jak's my boyfriend?" Lani said smartly. Ivy smacked her across the face.

"Keep quiet!" Ivy said. "We will use you two for our…plans."

"What plans? And who in the world is this we' you keep rambling on about?"

"You shall see once you and the Dark one have come to do your part in our plan."

"I swear, if you touch Jak I'll rip you to shreds."

"We'll see…"
