A/N: Just ignore the user' Sh1t3ras he is a troll who was spamming the anonomous review button which is why I disabled anonomous reviews.

A/N 2: I tried to make this a longer chapter. After this one there should only be 2-5 more chapters to go.

BTW Please review.

Jak, you're going down." Mar slammed his fist on his armour which clanged loudly.

The dark creature known as Jak turned his head towards the noise. Sensing a strong power he abandoned the metalhead he was currently pulling apart and headed to Mar.

Jak came slowly at first but as he got closer, the temptation of absorbing a power stronger then his own made him break into a run. Mar was surprised at Jak's sudden increase in speed and fired a blast of what seemed to be yellow eco – until it exploded on the ground just in front of Jak.

Jak was knocked backwards and crashed into a metalhead behind him which died instantly. As he got up he smirked.

"Damn it. What will it take to stop that thing?" asked Mar. As if in answer to his question a bolt of lightning struck one of the metalheads. The metalhead was leaking dark eco.

"I'll make him use up all his dark eco. Then he should revert back into his normal state." With that Mar began to sprint towards Jak. Jak shook his fist and Mar noticed too late that the fist was covered in dark eco. A loud metallic sound echoed through the swamp as Jak's fist bounced back. It didn't even get near Mar; instead it bounced off his powerful aura. Jak's smirk turned into a frown as he realised what had happened. Mar stood still, watching as Jak tried to punch through his aura.

"Yargh," Jak snarled in frustration. He stretched himself, ready to use dark bomb, one of his main attacks. Then suddenly the thudding he had felt earlier made itself known again only this time it was more clear and Jak could hear a peaceful voice talking to him.

Jak snap out of it now. The world needs you.

It was the precursors.

We should never have sent you to the past but the risk seemed acceptable at the time.

Jak's mind was full of thoughts that his brain wouldn't let him understand.

Ot mih demood ew ssenkrad eht morf mih esaeler. Modsiw ruo fo tnavres layol siht esaeler.

Suddenly the seal of Mar that Jak wore around his neck zapped a blast of white eco at him. Jak gradually looked less evil and slowly he returned to the form he had been when he fought Mar. It wasn't exactly normal but it was no worse than Mar's new form.

"What happened to me?" asked Jak.

You will find out later. Time is running out. There are still things to be done before you come back.

"Yeah the green eco sage told me the same thing," said Mar. "What sort of things are there that need me and Jak?"

Go to Kors hideout and you will see. Jak know what we're talking about.

"Of course," said Jak. "Kor must be leading the metalheads. I killed him in my time but this is the past so he should still be alive."

You need to got to the cave and seal it.

"Let's go then," said Mar.

Jak and Mar walked side by side, each one watching the others back though that was unneccesary as the metalheads kept well away from the two eco freaks. As they walked a question rose in Mar's mind.

"Is Kor the leader of the metalheads? If he is then killing him should end the war."

"No, we can't kill him. If we do then I won't have a time to go back to."

"That means nothing compared to the lives that will be saved. I'm going to kill him whether you like it or not."

Jak was just about to point out that Mar didn't know the way when...

Let things play themselves out Jak.

It was Samos and Jak had a feeling that Mar couldn't hear what he was saying.

Everything that happens is for a reason Jak. No matter what you do you can't change history. You're in this time because you were in this time.

"That doesn't make sense," Jak said.

"What doesn't make sense?" asked Mar.

" Nothing."

It means that whatever Mar does it will not change history because it has already happened.

"If it can't be changed then why am I here?"

"Thats a good question. If you aren't even going to fight the metalheads then why are you here?"

This is one of the precursors tests. Mar never died and never could of. It is not his destiny to die.

You are here simply because you already were and once you understand that then you will be able to fullful your destiny.

"But what about the precursors ship? The carvings weren't complete."

"Who cares about some stupid carvings?"

Jak do you really think the precursors wouldn't have enough power to change the appearance of their ship?

Jak sighed. "OK fine. Follow me," Jak said to Mar. Jak lead Mar to where the metalhead nest had been in his own time and Mar followed eagerly. He hadn't got to fully test his new powers on Jak and wanted another chance to use them.

When the two men reached the nest Jak said to Mar, "My task is to seal up the entrance to this cave Mar. I can not stop you from going in but you will most probably get sealed behind these walls forever."

"I understand." Jak watched Mar walk in to the cave and thought grimly of what he was about to do.

He put his hands into the air, palms facing the stormy sky as they gathered eco. Then he brought them down quickly, slamming them together. A purple shockwave shot towards the opening of the cave and caused a small land slide, just enough to seal Mar inside.

Good work Jak. Your work here is almost finished. Now all you have to do is hunt the real Kor and chase him into the cave from the other entrance.

"The real Kor? If I'm going after the real Kor what is Mar fighting?"

A darkmaker of course.
