What's that up in the sky?
It's a bird!
It's a plane!
No, it's...
WILD CAT 214!
Author's Notes: Hello. It's me. I was wondering if, after all these months, you'd like to read.
Another chapter, that is :P
Sorry I haven't updated in so long. As any of you who have seen my profile page have learned, I've been having difficulties with the external hard drive I had this originally on. Fortunately, the Live Preview feature helped me get back, if not the notes I had, at least the content I've published so far.
I've also gone back and corrected a few mistakes, mainly spelling errors or cases where I missed a space (like I almost did there XD), and made some slight changes. Nothing big, just for continuity or to have the timeline make more sense.
This year has been so crazy, what with the election and all the awful stuff going on in the world. I'm just glad it's almost over. Now, how about you escape the awful things going on in our world and take a peek at the things going on in Jak's world?
Disclaimer: As always, I do not own Jak and Daxter. All credit to them goes to Naughty Dog. The only credit I get is for my OC's and whatnot.
"The Mountain Temple of Haven City is a paradise for those seeking to learn more about the Precursors, typically because of the artifacts that abound. Of course, the three that Gemini supposedly placed there are of the greatest fascination, though the Unfilled forbid anyone taking them without permission. And that permission can only be obtained from their Vessels." -Tourist pamphlet for Haven City
Jessie left the library without a word, not even waiting for Jak to collect Daxter from his adoring crowd. When the two boys finally got outside, they found her in her zoomer, a thoughtful frown on her face. She looked up at them and quickly glanced away from Jak, which only served to make things more awkward. Once the blond was seated, the young woman took off, weaving through traffic to the gardens, where they would access the Mountain Temple.
Daxter, of course, noticed the tense silence between the two, and decided to do something about it.
"Wow, just look at this weather! It's a shame you two aren't enjoying it." When neither answered, the ottsel let out an exasperated sigh.
"Jeez, what's the matter with you two? You haven't had a relapse, have ya, Jak? You have, haven't ya? Guess I'll have to be your voice again, just like old times." Jessie pulled up beside the ramp leading to the security gate, and once she had dismounted, she gave the ottsel a curious look.
"What do you mean, 'just like old times'?" the young woman asked. Jak scowled and got off.
"He's talking about what I used to be like," he answered curtly. When it didn't look like he was going to elaborate, Jessie turned from him to the ottsel, raising an eyebrow questioningly. Daxter shrugged his tiny shoulders.
"Jak used to be a mute, up until a short while ago. I did the talking then," he explained while they ascended the ramp.
"And you talked enough for both of us."
"Hey!"
The two humans laughed a little, reaching the gate in short time. It admitted them readily, closing in typical airlock fashion as they waited for the other door to open. The city computer gave them a disclaimer when the second gate unsealed ("Leaving city at your own risk"), and the three left the relative safety of Haven City.
Jessie looked around No Man's Canyon with a stern gaze, assessing her surroundings quickly. She slung the rifle off her shoulder quickly, just in case some Metal Heads decided to attack, only relaxing a little when nothing occurred. The monsters usually didn't wait this long to attack, a trait that she was thankful for.
The young woman led the way to the warp gate across the canyon, turning to give them a smirk. Something like familiarity was on Jak's face as he looked at the gate, and it puzzled her, just like all the information she received about him. He clearly recognized technology like this, but from the way he acted sometimes, he definitely wasn't a native of Haven City. It was like he still couldn't quite grasp how there could be so many people in one place.
"After you, dark boy," she offered. Jak scowled and crossed his arms before his chest.
"Ladies first," he retorted bluntly. Jessie shrugged and jumped through, rolling for a short distance before getting back on her feet. She didn't bother waiting for the other two to get through; too many things were going through her head to want more complications. And right now, that's what Jak was. A complication. That moment in the library was proof of that.
"Let's get this over with," Jessie sighed, heading towards the right, where a Precursor platform floated upside-down. She raised the muzzle of her rifle and fired a single bullet, hitting the tip of the conical structure and making it flip over. The young woman took a running leap and landed on it shakily, then quickly jumped again to the Precursor structure on the other side, just before it wobbled and flipped back to its original position.
That was right about the time her partners came into view. She waved cheekily at the two boys. Jak was scowling again, and Daxter was simply looking around with curious interest.
"If you aren't careful, your face will freeze like that," she called over the gap. The ottsel snickered and gestured to the Precursor device between them.
"Just shoot the platform, Jak," Daxter commented helpfully. His ride's scowl deepened as he pulled his Morph Gun out, changing it to the Blaster mod and shooting the platform. Once Jak joined Jessie on the other side, they stepped onto a circle of darker metal than the rest of the Precursor structure and rode it to the bottom, where they spotted two Manic Heads roaming the enclosed path connecting them to another temple.
"You take the one on the left, I get the one on the right?" she suggested. Jak nodded and raised his gun; Jessie followed suit quickly, and together they took out the Metal Heads before you could say "Hip Hog Heaven." Jessie took point, ignoring the strange door to their right.
She was suddenly pushed forward, falling to the ground and barely stopping her face from becoming acquainted with the grass. She pushed herself to her feet and turned around, but before she could yell at him, three purple blasts flew through where she had once stood, coming from the opening to her left. The young woman looked at him in surprise, and he shrugged from the spot he had taken up on the opposite side of the tunnel.
"You didn't seem to notice that Metal Head over there," he explained. Jessie peeked into the tunnel and scowled. A bipedal Metal Head with a bright purple shield stood at the far end, waiting for one of them to come into full view again.
"Okay, so, there's a Centurion that way. Let's leave that for last," she proposed. The two boys nodded in agreement. Jak rushed past the opening, giving the Centurion no chance to shoot him, and they continued onward to the temple, briefly stooping to gather the two skull gems from earlier.
Three Hoppers were lurking within the orange metal building, but a few good kicks and they were reduced to globs of Dark Eco and skull gems. Jessie didn't even bat an eye at Jak collecting the Eco; she was getting used to it by now. That probably should have worried her more than it did, but then again, she also had a few weird traits that would probably earn some strange looks on the street. Well, from anyone other than an Unfilled.
After debating the two available paths, Jessie headed for the upside-down platform floating up and down across from them. Jak raised an eyebrow at her choice, but followed her anyways.
"Okay, we're gonna have to go one at a time for this part," she decided, leaning over the edge to examine the three platforms—all moving vertically, all upside-down and requiring a shot to right them. "Jak, you go first."
"Why me?" he retorted indignantly. The young woman grinned.
"Because you can catch me if things get dicey. I am not nearly strong enough to lift you."
"...Fair enough," Jak conceded. Daxter held up a hand/paw in protest.
"What about me? What if I fall?" he asked. Jessie shrugged.
"Don't fall," she replied bluntly. The ottsel scowled, which earned a smirk from the both of them, and held on tight as Jak got ready for what would prove to be a harrowing descent.
Fortunately, it passed without incident, and soon the three were standing at the bottom of a wide pit.
Unfortunately, its walls were too high and too smooth for them to climb out. The only clue as to how to continue on was in a platter-sized Precursor device in the ground, circular and reminiscent of a button... except that it was covered up. Thin cracks could be seen on its surface, proving it could be opened, but there was nothing that would obviously do so.
"Well, this just got harder. Any ideas?" Jak asked. Jessie shook her head.
"You want someone that can turn your average zoomer into a track-worthy racer, I'm your girl. You want someone that knows Precursor tech, ask Jamie. He's better with this stuff than I am," she replied, kneeling beside it. "I'll give it a try, but I can't promise any results."
Several minutes went by, with Jak keeping an eye out for Metal Heads at the top of the pit walls and Daxter sitting on the ground beside Jessie. She herself was fiddling with the device, trying to pry the case open with the pocket knife in her boot (only used as a last resort, and given to her by Jinx on her fifteenth birthday). When that didn't work, the young woman sat back, leaning on her hands, and frowned. Stupid machine.
A thoughtful look came over her face, and she waved a hand at Jak to grab his attention.
"Hey, Jak. If you used to be a mute, what were your first words?" Jessie asked curiously, still taking a break from puzzling over the Precursor device. He seemed taken aback by her question, and a brief expression of pain flashed across his face. Luckily for him, Jak was spared the trouble of answering it—mainly because Daxter stepped in.
"'I'm gonna kill Praxis!'" the ottsel yelled, imitating Jak's voice. His words echoed around the canyon, and a rumbling began, causing Jessie to rise warily. The three turned to look at the boulders heaped against one side of the pit, and the three took a startled step back when they were flung outward, revealing a cave... and a huge Metal Head that had woken up on the wrong side of the bed.
"Nice going, Daxter," Jessie groaned, taking aim with her rifle. Before the Metal Head could do more than roar grouchily, she fired three quick shots at its eyes, all four of them. Instead of blinding it, however, they merely served to rile it up more.
"Nice going, Jessie," Daxter countered, grinning cheekily as he scrambled back onto Jak's shoulder. She shot him a dirty look that made him cower; when Jak smirked, they both glared at him.
This time, the Metal Head took matters into its own claws and charged at them. They dove apart, Jak recovering from his roll first and readying his Morph Gun. When the monster turned around, he began rapidly shooting, but only when it reared up on its hind legs and the Yellow Eco-infused shots hit its stomach did he deal any sort of damage.
"That's it!" Jessie cried out, the gears in her mind turning. "Jak, shoot it when its belly is exposed! That's the only way we'll take it down!"
He nodded in understanding, running to the side as it charged them again. Jessie raised her communicator and took a picture as it rushed past, running it through the Metal Head database she had downloaded until it finally gave her a match, identifying it as a member of the Ram Head species.
'I'll have to remember to thank Ashelin for this info later,' she noted, firing off several shots in quick succession as the Ram Head reared up again, roaring in pain and anger. Their combined efforts brought it down, and after it had dissolved into Eco and a skull gem, the device that she had been studying earlier opened up to reveal a button.
"Oh, now you decide to cooperate," Jessie grumbled. She stepped on the button... and nothing happened.
"You're too light," Jak remarked, taking her place on the button and doing a dive jump. When he did so, two narrow, rectangular plates of Precursor bronze burst from the wall to the right of the Metal Head's cave.
"Well, excuse me!" she snapped, climbing up the platforms to the top of the pit's wall. Jak and Daxter joined her quickly, and they moved on, mowing down four more Manic Heads and collecting some ammo, Dark Eco, and Green Eco packs. Jessie let Jak handle the packs; it wasn't a good idea for her to do so.
That was when they came across their next obstacle.
"Oh, hell, no!" Jessie shouted in frustration upon seeing the multitude of boulders cascading down the side of the cliff.
One grueling climb later...
"Remind me to never come this way again," Jessie groaned, leaning against the wall of a darker tunnel and rubbing the sore muscles in her legs. Jak nodded wearily, Daxter flopping over his shoulder.
Their bodies bruised and battered by the rockfall, the three pressed on past two more moving, upside-down platforms suspended over a lethal gap, and came across a strange machine. It looked like something she had seen in a movie once, though on a slightly lesser scale (if she remembered correctly, there had been something about a dark crystal and puppets), and it was most likely their first artifact.
"I bet that's the prize!" Daxter commented, jumping off Jak's shoulder and echoing her thoughts. "They won't miss that one tiny gear."
He took hold of it and waited for some sort of reaction. When the machine kept spinning, he grinned.
"Like candy from a baby!" Jessie shook her head in exasperation. He clearly had no idea what taking candy from a baby was really like.
As he walked back with the strange gear, however, the machine came to a sudden, grinding stop. The two humans were horrified to see it fall apart completely, pieces of metal clattering to the top of the Precursor structure and piling up in the middle. Jak put his hands to his head, while Jessie covered her mouth in shock.
"No one will ever know we were here!" Daxter continued, apparently unaware of what he had just caused. Jak opened his mouth to yell at him, but was stopped by a large sphere that rolled unpleasantly close to his position. Jessie blinked, gradually accustoming to the new state of the machine, and sighed.
"Ignorance really is bliss, isn't it?" she remarked. Jak nodded, and watched as she followed after the ottsel and picked him up by his scruff.
"Daxter, I'm pretty sure there's an easier way to get back," she commented.
"And how do you know that?"
"I've read plenty of accounts from people who explore these sort of old areas. There's always a platform or an elevator or something that takes them back to the beginning." She turned around and tossed him and the gear at Jak. The blond caught Daxter easily, grinning at the ottsel's irritation at being treated this way, and placed the gear inside his pack. They walked back towards the ruined machine where, sure enough, a platform had appeared on the other side of the structure. It was a bit small for the three of them, but it wasn't likely that they could go one at a time like before. She and Jak would have to get a bit cozy.
'Whatever happened to avoiding complications?' she grumbled mentally, standing at the edge of the platform. Jak did the same on the other side, and they avoided touching each other for the entire ride. Yet again, that same rebellious part of her urged her to step a bit closer, and again she smothered it. Jessie was personally getting quite sick of it. She liked having some modicum of control over her body, thank you very much, and this wayward feeling would probably be the death of her.
This time, they took the other path from the temple, taking out three more Manic Heads and passing strange, tubular structures that jutted out of the ground and touched the top of more cliff-like walls. They replenished their ammo with a few more convenient boxes and collected another Eco pack, then saw their next obstacle.
"This shouldn't be too bad," Daxter commented, upon seeing the three Hoppers that blocked their way. They climbed up the various ledges, only to freeze when they saw the dozens of Hoppers that lurked around the corner. Jak switched to his Scatter Gun, taking out wide swathes of them while Jessie handled those that slipped through.
"You just had to say that, didn't you?" Jessie complained while they fired at the Metal Heads.
Eventually, they stopped coming, and the two humans gathered up the skull gems that glowed yellow against the grass. Jessie was starting to feel her pack get heavy, and that was saying something. The three continued on, coming across another Centurion.
"Oh, great. One of these. How many of these guys are there, anyway?" she grumbled, waiting for it to lower its shield to shoot at them. When it did so, she ducked out of the way and let Jak take care of it, sighing heavily.
"What's wrong, Jessie? Too much for you?" Jak taunted, collecting the gem. She scowled at began climbing up the next set of ledges.
"Don't lump me in with you and Daxter. I could go all day," Jessie retorted as she ascended, chuckling softly at the ottsel's indignant protest.
After that came another moving platform, this one long and moving from side to side, and held in place by two partitions of decent height. Climbing over them wasn't that bad; it was certainly better than what waited for them up ahead.
A lake of Dark Eco.
Jessie tilted her head to the side, stepping from side to side slightly, as she surveyed the lake and its five ornate boxes of Precursor bronze. On the far end was what looked like their next goal, an island of ledges right next to the temple.
"Ya know, for something so deadly, this stuff is actually really pretty in large quantities," the young woman remarked, admiring the hues of violet and red-violet that danced across its slick surface. The two boys gave her a funny look and went up to the first box, conveniently located right at the edge of their plot of land.
"What's this for?" Daxter asked. Jak examined it thoughtfully, then punched it.
The box moved forward with a resounding, musical tone, leaving behind the side that had been closest to the Dark Eco. Jessie made a wordless, excited noise.
"I get it! It's a puzzle," she explained. "We need to use the boxes to get across the lake to that place over there."
"All right, then. Smack a box, baby," the ottsel commanded, making the two roll their eyes.
Several cubes, one sore hand, and a Green Eco pack later...
Jak and Jessie eyed yet another upside-down platform wearily. They were understandably tired of these things and the ammo they used up, but they were a necessary evil, if they ever wanted to learn more about the Tomb of Mar.
"Remind me why I decided to come with you guys, again," Jessie quipped. Jak shot the platform in reply and jumped on, disembarking at the top of the large platform of Precursor bronze. She caught up quickly, the sinking feeling in her stomach justified when they spotted another Ram Head waiting on the platform. A fence kept them from simply slipping past and getting the artifact.
"Here we go again," Jak muttered, readying his Morph Gun.
Working together, and already having experience with this type of Metal Head, Jessie and Jak took care of it quickly, and as soon as the fence went down and a platform rose up, they went over to the temple. Inside, a Precursor idol with its characteristic goober eyes held out a pedestal bearing the crystal thing from the book—a Shard, wasn't it? To the left and right were empty, circular alcoves, framing the steps leading to the idol and its proffered reward.
Daxter climbed up the steps and onto the pedestal. He tapped it a couple times, gave them a suggestive look, and took hold of the artifact.
"Wooooow. This puppy's got some vibraaaattioonn to it," he observed, the artifact making him bounce across the pedestal's surface.
"This baby will put a smile on your face!" the ottsel declared, rubbing it against his belly. The two below rolled their eyes and waited for him to return. He stuffed it into Jak's pack once he was back on the young man's shoulder, and the three left the temple. Somewhere along the line, Jessie got a few feet ahead of them, and used the distance to quash that damned feeling.
The young woman reached the edge of the platform and looked down, surveying the path she would take. She dropped down to a ledge a couple yards below the circular platform where the Ram Head had attacked, then slid down one of the tubes they had passed earlier. Jak and Daxter caught up quickly, and the three walked back through the first temple to the original pathway.
"And now, we take care of this bastard," she growled, glaring at the Centurion. This time, Jak acted as the bait, and Jessie was the one to take care of it, with no small amount of pleasure.
Three Hoppers appeared at the top of the ledges past the Centurion, and were quickly sniped by the two of them, their skull gems clinking as they hit the ground. The two climbed up and collected them, then jumped across the islands in the middle of a pool fed by a waterfall. The spray helped calm Jessie a little, cooling her off, and by the time they found yet another deep, wide pit in the ground, she was less agitated than before.
"How much you wanna bet that there's another Ram Head down there?" Jessie remarked. Jak snorted and jumped down, and she followed soon after.
Unsurprisingly, once they were all at the bottom, out came their third Ram Head. Upon its defeat, a button popped up, and Jak pressed it. Just one platform popped out this time, to the left of the Ram Head's cave, and they climbed up to find another Centurion waiting across a gap. It was disposed of in no time, but they decided to take a brief break on their side before they collected the gem and continued.
"You know, I'm glad you had us save this part for last, Jessie," Daxter commented after a shot singed his fur. "I really wouldn't have wanted to do this if we had faced these guys first."
Jessie nodded, pressing a health pack to her leg, where one Dark Eco blast had hit and brought her to her knees.
"Me, too. I'm gonna be feeling this tomorrow," she groaned, taking Jak's offered hand and doing her best to ignore both the rebel part of her and the tiny purple spark that flashed between their fingers as he pulled her to her feet. Yup, that was definitely something she had seen when her mom channeled Umbra. She was positive. The only real question here was, why was it happening whenever she touched Jak?
'Does it have something to do with the Dark Eco in him?' she mused as they crossed the gap and came across an earthen pathway. Three plates of Precursor bronze were trapped by it in an irregular line, and it led to a dead end island with three KG supply boxes.
With nowhere else to go, the three crossed, Jak in front this time. As he stepped onto the island, the pathway began to give way, crumbling beneath Jessie's feet.
"Jak!" she screamed. Before she could join the path in falling to the distant bottom of the ravine, Jak's hand clasped her forearm tightly. The young woman dangled in midair, clinging to his arm for dear life. Slowly, steadily, he began pulling her back up, with Daxter lending a bit of a hand once she got higher and was within the ottsel's reach. The three slumped together at the edge of the island, panting heavily from both the exertion and the near-death experience. Jessie grinned at him feebly.
"See? That's why you go first, Jak," she commented. He gave her an unpleasant look and continued taking deep breaths.
Several stressful leaps, many Metal Heads, and one more button later...
Jessie gunned down about half of the wave of Hoppers that attacked on the final leg of their trek, Jak taking care of the rest. Once they were gone, the three crossed the water using another moving platform and entered the temple in search of the last artifact.
"That's some peeper, huh?" Daxter pointed out, speaking of the clear lens set into the ceiling above and shining a strong light upon the center of the structure. Jessie nodded. That was the last artifact they needed. Now, how to get it down? Jak went onto the dais illuminated by it and mused silently.
Daxter sniffed the air then.
"Something's cooking? Hmm, kinda smells like... burnt ottsel?" he yelped, noticing that his tail was inside the light, and had been slowly igniting. He screamed and began running around the temple, trying to put out the fire that had started on the tip. As he ran, the dais Jak was on rotated, and the lens floated down to him.
Jessie, meanwhile, had caught Daxter and rushed him over to the edge of the temple, dunking his lower half into the water around them with a hiss. He sighed in relief, and Jessie brought him back to Jak, water dripping onto the metal around them. Jak's communicator activated and flew out of his pack, and a familiar voice began speaking.
"Aaaaawrk! I can't believe you three actually did this thing. Onin says she will search the timelines for answers about these sacred relics. I will find you here," Pecker informed them. Jessie sighed and looked down, scanning the words stamped into the dais; the young woman chuckled at what she saw.
"What's so funny?" the blond asked. She pointed at them.
"Read that."
Jak stood in the center and turned as he read the words.
"You... are... getting... really... dizzy? What the hell?" he said, giving her an incredulous look. Jessie shrugged.
"Apparently, the Precursors had a sense of humor. Now, that's the last artifact. We're done here," she announced, leading the way out of the temple. A platform had appeared against the ground outside, and they used it to return to the first real temple, where they found Pecker waiting. The artifacts were handed over, he flew off, and the three began the trek back to the city.
As they passed the door from earlier, Jak paused.
"Where does this lead?" he asked. Jessie stopped and turned, then shrugged.
"No idea. Now, come on. I'm sick of this place." She continued on to the elevator. Jak gave the door one last look, then joined her. They returned to the city wall, went into the airlock, and stepped back into the city's polluted air once the inner door opened.
Jamie hummed as he tinkered with the display of an old NYFE racer, carefully unscrewing it and tugging it free of the busted hoverbike it belonged to. Keira had decided that, since their current racer needed a bit of a tuneup, it would be good to get a few of the readings that the newer models just didn't provide, like the lights that indicated how many boosts the racer held.
But the hoverbike wasn't the only thing on his mind. He forced down the fear that welled up inside and cleared his throat.
"So, uh, Keira, would you like to... that is, would you be interested in lunch sometime? Maybe tomorrow?" Jamie asked, glancing at the teal-haired mechanic nearby. Keira looked at him in surprise, but the surprise soon changed to a smile. He could have sworn his heart skipped a beat (though he would rather die than tell Jessie about it), but the Unfilled teenager managed to hold his elation in check.
"Sure! Where should we go?" the young woman replied. Jamie opened his mouth to answer, but a wave of nausea swept over him, a feeling he knew all too well.
A vision was coming.
He slumped to his knees, head spinning, and barely registered Keira's panicked cries. The Unfilled boy was in the throes of a vision, and nothing could break him out of it.
Jessie stood in the Unfilled temple, contemplating the six thrones before her. Her jaw was set firmly – she was determined to do something – and she took a step forward.
She suddenly lay on the floor beside the Passionate Throne, the stone pulsating eagerly as a pair of hands used tongs to place her own hand on the seat. Violet light surrounded her, and her veins turned dark as night.
A man, his face hidden by shadows, stared down at her balefully. He turned and left the temple, and the Passionate Throne pulsed with what could almost be described as triumph. Even the Eco pedestals beside it seemed more vibrant than before.
Jamie gasped, surfacing from the flow of time to find himself being supported by Keira's arms. The vision had drained him of energy, leaving him pale and shaky, and his face was stricken with horror at what he had seen.
"What did you see, Jamie? What happened?" Keira asked fearfully. He returned her worried expression with one of his own and fumbled for his communicator, typing frantically into it without bothering to correct the mistakes his shaking fingers made. At the moment, he didn't trust his voice, and someone unwanted might listen in.
'Jessi! Do not g oto teh tempel! Visiin qarned me abot it! Don;t go to the remple!'
Jamie sent the message, breathing a soft sigh of relief as his device let out the cheery beep of a successful attempt. This wasn't the first time a vision like this had struck, and he knew that, if forewarned, it could be prevented or, at the very least, prepared for. Hopefully, he wasn't too late, and Jessie got his message before the scene came to pass.
Hopefully.
Reviews:
UltimateGamer101 (chapter 11, Jul. 6) – Good, good. I only ask because I feel that, since we never do find out what happened to Maia and Gol, there is the possibility that they eventually escape/are freed, and she meets Kor. I don't know why, but even before I read your reasoning, I always paired them in my head. Weird, I know, but what can you do?
Anyways, I shall henceforth refer to the pairing as Koraia. Thanks for the input!
Guest (chapter 11, Jul. 7) – The same could be said of anyone who makes "deals with the devil" *cough* Ariel *cough*. She's desperate to be somewhat independent, and desperate people (and Ecolians) do stupid things to achieve their goals.
JaneValentine007 (chapter 10, Sep. 4) – Heh. I've never actually used a cheat for a game beyond the ones that are provided by the game itself (like the glitch where you can get two Lurker sharks to appear in the Misty Island area), and I'm not sure if my PlayStation would support any. It's old, just like our controllers. We, too, have several broken controllers. Two working ones, with one missing the covers for the analog sticks, and two that have died.
And I know that feeling. I'm still not sure how this happened, but I have two copies of Kingdom Hearts XD I kid you not, I have absolutely no idea where the second one came from. I was just going through our games to sort them out when I noticed that Kingdom Hearts was on the shelf, even though I was sure it was on a different one. So I checked, and boom! Two games.
Wild Cat 214, out!
