Keira

….

Oh Keira

….

Its time to wake up, Keira.

"What?"

Wake. up.

Eyes wide open, her body jolts up as voice releases a low scream before gagging on the tube sticking out of her mouth. Looking around the area, it didn't take long for her to realize that she was in a medic room with gastrostomy tube down her throat. She could even feel the thing around her throat, causing her mouth to try and spit it out, only to choke on the device.

"NGH!" Keira screamed as she tries to move from her bed, only to realize again that she was strapped to the bed by black belts with multiple tubes injected into her. The mere sight of various things attached to her causes her to move her body even more and increase her heart rate. Along with the fact that she wasn't even in her old clothes. She was wearing a skintight body suit that was green with red stripes. This infuriated her even more because she was deeply confused as to where she was. This made her scream even louder while flailing her body around to escape. Causing the doctors and nurses enter the room with Torn and Ashelin right behind them.

"NGH!" Keira screamed at them before Torn ran to her side. Ashelin soon follows to ease her.

"Sweety, you need to calm down!" Ashelin tells her as her eyes scan the room. The doctor reaches over and carefully removes the tube from her mouth. Keira body trembles as the tube is removed, leaving behind a thick line of saliva that stained her chest.

"What happened?" She asked. "Where's Jak?"

"You need to calm down, your heart rate is high." The nurse was telling her, but she refuse to listen to them as she tries to break free from the restraints keeping her tied to the bed.

"Keira, you need to calm down!" Torn shouted at her. Taking a deep breath and looking over to Ashelin, she opens her mouth to ask again.

"Where's Jak, is he okay?" Keira asked.

"He's fine, he woke a week ago." Ashelin tells her.

"A week ago? What do you mean a week ago?" Keira asked. The two soldiers glance at one another or a second before Ashelin looks back to Keira to explain.

"When you fell into that eco…your body did something." Ashelin explains. "Very terrifying."

"What do you mean, why am I strapped to the bed!? Where is Jak and what the hell is going on!? Why fuck are there tubes attached to me!?" Keira growled at the woman, not realizing the small bolts of lightning appearing around her ears. The nurse looks in horror as the doctor examines her heart rate.

"Keira." Torn spoke, causing her to look at him. "I need you to calm down, and let me explain everything."

"Remove the tubes out of me." She ordered, but they shook their heads to her.

"I can't do that, you still have a large amount of eco inside you." Torn explained, much to her confusion.

"What?" She asked. Torn glances over to Ashelin one more time before looking back at her.

"Keira you have been in a coma for nearly a month now." Torn informs her, much to her shock. The bluennette female suddenly started to calm down and relax a bit, allowing Torn to explain.

"After you fell into the Eco, something strange started to happen…"

(A month ago, an hour after the last chapter)

"KEIRA!" Jak shouted on the top of his lungs while holding her hand as Torn presses his hands to her chess. Pumping it up and down as he tries to resuscitate her heart. Her limbless body stares up at the metal ceiling of their ship as Ashelin drives the ship as at full blast back to Heaven City. There was two pads attached to her chest that connected to a board viewing her body heart rate, temperature and brainwaves, so far all three were in the red.

"Do something!" Jak screamed to Torn but the man was already doing everything he could at this moment. By their feet alone were a couple of toxic cleaners that was suppose to flush out the eco from her body. But oddly enough she was still producing eco from the side of her mouth and her only black eye.

"How long Ashlen!" Torn shouted, the red head looks at the map.

"15 MINUTES!" She screamed as Keira heart rate dropped a couple of beats, only going one per minute at this point, and her body grew colder. Standing up from the ground, Torn begins to look around the ship to find something to save the woman as Jak begins to break down. Tears begins to fill his eyes as he watches the light in Keira's clear eye begin to fade. Leaning down, he presses his forehead to her and begins to whisper.

"Don't leave." He begs. "Please don't leave, I need you. I love you so much, please Keira."

As Jak whispers the very last words to his love, Torn finds a small shock device just as all three body alert hit zero. Jak body begins to tremble as the last breath of her life past through her lips. Torn gasp before running back over and tasering her body with the small device right to her chest. Her body jults upwards, but she doesn't move, there is no breathing, and all three screens say 0. Just as the ship proceeds to land, Keira head turns to the side, lifeless. Jaks lower lip quivers before he picks up his beloved and holds her close to his body. Ashelin runs to the back to see that it was too late, she gone.

"Oh no." She whimpered as tears begins to form in her eyes as well. Torn throws the device across the room before letting out a scream of anger before falling to his knees and sobbing as well. Keira was gone, they had lost a friend, a companion, and what hurt the most is that they were just inches away from home, a place that could have saved her. It broke all three of them, but Jak the most. He held her close, his tears staining the side of her cheek before he place a kiss on her forehead.

"I'm sorry." He whimpered. A few minutes later the back doors opened to have Daxter and Jinx enter the ship. Daxter was the first of the two to see Keira and Jak hugging, much to his confusion.

"Hey there big guy, what's wrong with Keira?" The orange creature asked before hopping over to the two. Landing right next to him, he saw Keira's black eye and gasp.

"Keira?" He asked in concern, but Ashelin didn't hesitate to answer.

"She's dead. Eco poison." She responded before sniffling. "I will call a…uh…deceased unit."

After that it was just silence. Jak held her body till the workers came to collect her. Placing her on a moving platform bed, laying her flat, they take her body to the morg where they stripped her of her clothes before throwing a cover blanket over her. The workers would then leave the room. Jak just sat there on the ship, thinking of a life he will no longer have without Keira in it. Thinking back to all the times they had spent to all the moments together doing the most random things. All those happy memories were now tiny needles to his soul, just stabbing him and destroying him. Daxter too was silent, he was also thinking of the time he spent with Keira, as well as the heartbreak it will be to tell her father the news.

"What are we going to tell Samos?" Daxter asked.

"That his daughter is dead." Jak responded in a dull manner. Daxter saw his grief and sighed.

"I'm sorry Jak, I wish I was there-and do what?" He asked the ottsel.

"Could you have done Daxter? Tell me, I really want to know." Jak growled as tears began to fall down his cheeks.

"Jak…"

"No, tell me! So maybe next time I fall in love, and then make the same mistake twice!" Jak shouted at the small creature. "What could you have done, Daxter!? You barely able to care for yourself, what the fuck could you have done!?"

"Told you not to go." Daxter muttered, and for the first time in Jak's life as a hero, he had to acknowledge that Daxter was right. Daxter is a coward, but if he was there and if he did speak, maybe he would have made Daxter and Keira stay on the ship. The realization alone made dark lightning appear from his chest before he lets out a loud scream before punching a dent into the wall of the ship. He then lets out a low horse like cry before sinking to his knees again.

"She's gone." He muttered. "The only person that accepted me is gone Daxter. I couldn't even save her." He muttered.

"I know buddy. I know." Daxter tells him, not realizing that something interesting was happening below them.

While everyone grieved above, no one was in the room when the morphing process began. Keira's naked body began to twitch. Her other eyes soon turns black as her lips part to breath. Her skin turning pale white as blood begins to fall from the sides of her head as two horns grow on to of her head. Two yellow circles form in her eyes as her lips turned pitch black and her hair begins to grow and darken. Soon, the dead corpse rose from her laying position and removed the cover. Standing up, she leaps out off the bed and walks out of the morg! Looking at the hallway, she walks over towards the elevator and presses the up button, not bothering to notice the crimson guard watching the naked woman enter the elevator when it opened. Once she was in, she didn't even turn around to acknowledge them, much to the men's horror.

Taking the elevator to another floor, the white skin female stops on the third floor where her clothes were. Walking towards the office, she ignores the gasp and cries of the various workers in the area staring at the naked female walking to another room. She paid them no mind before finding her clothes, or at least a fraction of it. Putting on her undergarments as well as her pants, but not her shirt. Luckly she was wearing a bra though, so it was covered.

"What the fuck?" A voice spoke, much to the female surprise. Turning around, she saw three Krimson Guards pointing their weapons at her as people behind them leave the area.

"Who are you!?" The other guard shouted as Keira…or rather, what appeared to be Keira stares at them silently. Her yellow iris glaring at the men as she tilts her head to the side.

"Answer the question!" The guard shouted, and in an instant, the guard was on the ground screaming. His arms were just sliced off by what appeared to be long blades that were her fingers. The blades were long and pitch black, but did shine against the room light. The two guards scream before shooting at her, trying to kill her but ultimately failing. She stabs one man through the stomach and then lifts him up with the blades of her hand. The weight of the solider causes him to fall on her hand, cutting into the skin in a slow and painful death while the other guard calls for backup. Only for his hand to be sliced off and then his head. It fell down to the ground and then rolled over to the first corpse. Once dead, she swings her hands in the air, causing the blades of her fingers to return back to their natural state. Pure white hands with black nails. The female lets out a sigh before pulling her hair up and tying it into a ponytail with a line of her own hair.

"So long." She whispered to herself before chuckling.

Keira: And thus, Dark Keira is here! I wonder how Jak going to react when he sees her. Thank you for reading, please review and have a lovely day!
