Jack noticed the mixed looks of confusion, shock and worry plastered on his friends faces, knowing what was going through their minds, he decided it would be a good idea to give them an explanation. "Let me explain.." Jack said as he trailed off trying to find the right words, "My job centers around hunting down people who's times of death have come." He said before he quickly added "Keep in mind that I don't kill without proper judgment, I'm not a murderer after all.."

He chuckled a little, seeing Coco breath out a sigh of relief as he mentioned that. Seeing the others looking still slightly confused he got an idea, snapping as he did to get everyone's attention. "Maybe it'd be better if I just showed you.." Seeing everyone nod he quickly asked "You guys got any firewood we can use? I'd like to do this on the beach as to not damage or burn anything."

Crash spoke up next nodding as he did so, "Yeah, there should be plenty on the beach. Come on!" Crash said before eagerly taking the lead.. After a couple of minutes of setting the firewood up Jack signaled every thing was ready, giving Crash a nod as he did, the bandicoot just shrugged saying that it wasn't that big a deal under his breath. Taking a moment to concentrate, Jack grunted as he held out his left arm before the firewood lit up in a bright blaze of flame "WOW!" The bandicoots said in wonder, Jack just chuckled however, shouting "I ain't done yet!" as he began to focus again.

Within seconds the small flame suddenly grew in size making the shape of a pillar before Jack stuck his left hand in before pulling it out with a large white scythe clasped in his grip. Before the group could say anything however, Jack put his other hand in the pillar, before grunting and pulling it back, revealing that he had a large black scythe clasped in his right hand to match the white one in his left. He took a moment to get a feel for the blades, swinging and spinning them around in his hands before clasping them together like a staff and spinning them behind and in front of him.

He then separated the blades again, making them rest at his sides with the white blade facing upwards in front of him leaving the black one behind his back facing downwards. "Much better.." Jack sighed before chuckling again as he noticed Coco looking at his white scythe in a memorized manner, "So, shiny.." She said failing to notice the chuckles emanating from the rest of the group. Jack put the blades on his back holstering them in the shape of an x before waving his hand in front of the young bandicoot's face teasing her, "Hello, earth to Coco.."

He said making her blink in surprise before lightly punching him on the shoulder before sticking her tongue out at him playfully, "Jerk." She said giggling before Jack retaliated back, "You love me." he said receiving a shove and laugh from Coco as she muttered "Shut up idiot.." under her breath. Crash just chuckled as he watched the exchange between the two with a knowing smile, he could tell there was something building between his sister and their new friend, even if those two themselves didn't know it. A few minutes later Jack and the others were working on getting some lunch for the group, which consisted of freshly caught & cooked fish and safe fruit from the islands jungle, as well as Wumpa fruit juice for drinks.

Jack and Coco were the ones on fish duty, Jack doing the actual fishing and Coco doing the cooking. She may not have looked it, but Coco was actually a very talented cook, which Jack was amazed to find out. Coco took a moment to look away from the fish she was cooking over an open fire, to ask her friend something when she noticed something strange. She noticed Jack's appearance had changed, gone were his crystal blue eyes and brown hair as he now sported a white colored left eye and black right one as well as white hair that switched to black to compliment his now changed eyes.

Jack took a moment to real in the fish he had been fighting with before taking it and putting it in the the fish net they set up where said fish began flip flopping around like it's brothers. He saw his friend giving him a strange look, curiosity getting the better of him he decided to speak up. "Anything wrong Coco?" She shock her head giving him a small smile, "No nothing, I just noticed that your eyes and hair changed is all." He nodded, before getting a funny idea as he reached into the net to get a fish. "Hey Coco, Have you ever seen a fish drop the bass?"

Seeing her raise an eyebrow he continued, "Watch this.." He then trailed off as he began to make the fish's mouth move, while making his own voice sound like the bass in a speaker playing a rap song. Her reaction was instant as she suddenly fell flat on her back laughing her head off, "Oh man, that's great! HAHA I'm surprised Crash never came up with that!" Jack laughed as well before adding "It's even funnier because bass is spelt the same as bass!" He said making the girl laugh again before he took the fish net and sealed it up as it was now filled with fish, "Okay I think we've gotten enough fish. Don't you think?"

Seeing her nod, he trailed off momentarily to take the blades he had on his back off, and put them on the ground before making them both disappear in a flash of light. After which he muttered "Man it's hot..." under his breath, before he took off his shirt, tying it around his waist as he did breathing a sigh of content, not noticing the bright blush the bandicoot girl had on her face as she took in his well built and toned body. The rest of the fish were cooked in silence Jack choosing to look out at the blimp he saw earlier deep in thought, while Coco chose to focus on cooking the fish, lest she run the risk of being caught blushing at the man.

Eventually, Crash whom had just finished finding edible fruit, sees what's going on and goes to sit near Jack speaking quietly as to not alert his sister. Jack, you might want to put your shirt back on.." Jack just nodded, sending one last cocky grin towards the girl making her squeak at being caught before putting his shirt back on. After another few minutes the fish were cooked and ready for eating, with the group siting on a large beach towel, drinks in hand plates of food on a table the group had set up. "So Jack, If you don't mind me asking, how exactly did you get your powers?"

Crash was the one who spoke, attempting to break the ice by asking a question Jack was surprised no one had bothered asking up till now especially Coco considering how close the two had gotten in the last few hours. "Well, it all happened while I was still a baby. Jesus and hades both approached my parents with an offer a gift, that would help determine my fate in the world." Jack took a moment to let the information sink in before continuing "Then years later, last night in fact. They approached me again from inside my mind to get me to accept my fate and I did."

"Wow." Coco was the one who broke the silence then astonished at hearing of Jack's past "I honestly didn't expect that." Jack just laughed giving her a curious grin "What did you expect?" She smirked a bit, "You being an orphan growing up to hate the world." Jack just chuckled knowing she was joking, "Hey now, not every story has too be a tragic one ya know." Jack said however the next one to speak was someone not even the bandicoot family expected to hear, "Well well, What's this a party and I wasn't invited?"

There standing on a hoverboard a few feet away from the group, was the man Jack had been tasked with killing in the first place. "Cortex!" Crash growled out as he and the rest of the group lept out of their seats, preparing for a battle. Cortex however didn't move, just sneering in Crash's face "Crash, so nice to see you and your meddlesome family." His eyes then settled on Jack, whom now had his blades out ready for the kill. "I see we have a fresh face. who are you?" Jack just snarled, his hood beginning to cover his head. within moments Jack's skin pealed away, leaving his skeleton lit ablaze by white and black flames.

"Why hello there deadman. You can call me your worst nightmare.." He then trailed off as Cortex looked at him strange before continuing, his voice now sounding far more demonic. "..AND I"M GONNA KILL YOU!"
