A/N: This chapter is happening at the same time as the last chapter. (well sort of.)
Mar watched the opening to the cave collapse right in front of him and realised that he was happy. He was going to get a chance to end the metalhead wars once and for all. The only downside was that there would be no escaping from this cave unless the precursors saw fit to help him and that he thought would probably not happen especially if I succeed.
Mar lit his hands with yellow eco. The cave lit up and Mar saw that there were a lot of metalhead eggs stuck to the walls and floor. He shot a few with yellow eco as he walked along.
As he walked through the cave it became apparent that there wasn't any giant metalhead hiding somewhere waiting to ambush Mar.
"Stop hiding and face me coward," yelled Mar. As he walked forward he came into a room with several large holes in the floor and lots more metalhead eggs hanging off the roof.
"Now, now is that any way to greet an old friend?"
"An old friend? Who are you?"
"Of course you don't remember. I'm Zion."
A short dark man in a cloak suddenly appeared from nowhere. Most of his face was hidden by the cloak but Mar could see that he was hairy.
"How am I supposed to know you?" asked Mar.
"Why I am responsible for the powers you now wield." As Zion spoke he waved his hand to indicate Mar's colorful look. Mar saw Zion's hand had three sharp metal claws poking out which reminded him of Jak and instantly he felt at ease.
"If what you say is true then how come I don't remember?"
"Do you really have to ask? It was those traitorous precursors. They brought you here and wiped your memory."
"No, it can't be true. I don't believe you."
"Come here and I will reveal to you the truth."
Mar walked forward, entrance Zion's words, unable to do anything else and watched as Zion put one of his hands on his head. Mar felt Zion caress his forehead with his claws and then suddenly he shoved his claws into Mar's head.
"Arghhhhhhh," Mar yelled. The last thing he saw before he passed out was a burst of light shining into the cave and Jak running in shouting something. Then he blacked out.
As Jak entered the cave he saw Zion withdraw three long claws from Mar's forehead.
"What have you done to him Zion?" Jak demanded.
"I have aroused his true memories Jak. Soon he will know what the precursors took from him, what they took from us both."
"Enough of your lies. The precursors took nothing from you. You broke their laws against using dark eco and you have been banished from their ranks. They owe you nothing."
Jak, still being in his lighter dark form shot a spiraling ball of light and dark eco at Zion who stood still uttering a few ancient sounding words.
"Ouy tnes ohw eno eht yortsed dna kcab nrut."
The ball of eco that Jak shot came whirling back at him with a at least three times the force and Jak had no choice except to dive towards the wall.
There was no explosion with the eco blowing up against the far side of the cave. Jak was curious and when he turned around he saw why. Mar was standing up, the ball of eco above his head.
"What are you doing my friend," said Zion. "I have shown you your true memories. You should be after him," he pointed at Jak, "the precursors slave, especially after what they did to you."
"You are a fool, Zion. You did not plan to awaken all of my lost memories but the mind is not something that you can change at will. You see, I have seen everything that has happened in my life and now know the truth." Mar paused as if he needed breath and then spoke again. "My parents died when I was a child and I was alone for many weeks. Then you found me and told me the tale o how the metalheads killed my parents. I wanted revenge and you agreed to help. I allowed you to do your experiments on me, trying to make me an eco warrior."
"Yes, see. I was trying to help you avenge your parents. Now kill him," Zion pointed at Jak again. "He smells of precursor."
"Have you forgotten about your betrayal?" Mar said, not really asking. "The day I found out you killed my parents was the day that my rage consumed me and made me more powerful then you had planned. For that moment I knew what it was to be a darkmaker. For that moment I was fulled with darkness, unable to release myself from the hell you unleashed upon me. Then the precursors came and saved me. They surpressed my memories of what had happened in order to save the universe. Now Zion, you have undone the work of the precursors and this time there noone will stop me from having my revenge."
Mar's body flashed several different colors and Jak could feel the power radiating from him. Suddenly Mar seemed to settle on a colour... black.
"Mwahahahahaha. Die fools."
Well how is it now? Review and tell me. BTW Thanks to all the people who have reviewed already.
It should be noted that the last person to speak was Mar.
