Chapter 7
Present
Mara was with Apollo and she found he was an excellent marks man. Neither went to the other's home since they knew their parents would over react. Edge wasn't quite as bad as Erol but he hated Jak for killing his younger brother. Keira disliked Erol and probably wouldn't tolerate his nephew. They usually met at the shooting range.
Keira was shopping when she accidentally bumped into a woman with brown hair and gray eyes.
"Sorry." She said.
"No problem. Aren't you Keira, the best mechanic in all of Haven?" she asked.
"I don't know about the best, but my name is Keira." She said.
"Well I'm Kate. My husband Edge doesn't really like yours because he thinks his brother did nothing to deserve being destroyed."
"His brother?"
"Erol. But I only bring this up because my son Apollo is seen by his cousin Darrel walking with a green haired, violet eyed girl." She said.
"That sounds like Mara."
"Mara? That isn't good. Edge is going to investigate. We need to separate them before he sees a child of Mar with his son, who gives him pride by looking exactly like his lost little brother." She said. Keira nodded and noticed she had everything she needed. She heard Kate yell that they were in the shooting range.
She ran and saw a man who resembled Erol doing the same.
"Mar's wife!"
"Erol's Brother!" both said to them selves.
Mara looked out and saw her mother and what looked to be Paul's father.
"We need to run. Parents at 5 and 7 oclock!" she yelled.
"How would we get away in time?" asked Paul.
"I've got an idea." Said Mara.
They close in when they see something glowing fly out.
'Mara I'll get you for that later.' Thought Keira as she saw Light Mara fly away.
"What was that?" asked Edge.
"I don't know it moved to quickly Brother of Erol."
"Where's your daughter wench."
"I don't know." She said as she saw a boy slip out while they argued.
"Why are you here?"
"To fire this." She said pulling out the morph gun. He backed away and left. Keira followed the boy to the port's center .
"They nearly found us out." Said Mara landing her voice ethereal.
"Yeah. Good thing you can fly fast like that." He said as Mara stood in front of him still in light form.
"Would you like me to take you flying?" she asked.
"Could you carry me?" he asked.
"These forms have super strength" she said and grabbed him under his arms and jumped then began flapping to get airborne and fly. She caught an updraft and glided a bit.
"This is amazing!" he said.
"Now you know why I fly as much as I can." She said. She dropped him off in the stadium.
"We'll have to be more careful." She said.
"It's ok." He said.
She then smiled and flew away. She landed in the port and went back to normal. There Keira caught up with her.
"Look, Edge the egotistical may not approve, but if he is a nice boy I could careless who his family is, or was." She said.
"Thanks mom, and mom?"
"Yes?"
"Could you catch me-," she said and swayed. Keira caught her and drove home after carrying her to the bazaar where her zoomer was parked.
Past
Jak found doing his missions easier the second time around. Vin had taken a liking to Jake. Kara brought valuable info about attacks. Thus increasing the amount of missions needed so Jake was no longer a currier. Mat was, but this was a matter of seniority. Samos often tried to see what Jake's sister could do or weasel info out of Mat. Both proved ineffective.
'Well I could always ask if she was just like her brother later.' He thought as he prepared to go see Onnin about Jak completing the seal of Mar.
Jake was running errands with Mat when they saw Kara pinned to a wall by Erol.
"So your part of them! You're good, but not good enough. Now you'll pay for your crimes you little bitch!" he yelled.
Jake POV
He call my sister A WHAT! I feel Mat bristle beside me but he won't get a chance to touch Erol for I'll have ripped him into little tiny pieces! I yell as I go dark and Erol looks over.
But Mat tackles him and starts pounding him! I resume being normal. She walked over with a shocked look on her face. Mat had never lost control before. He got up and walked towards Kara.
"By the way Jake is my twin, and you are a horrible kisser." She said and kicked him.
"Remind me to never piss any of you off!" said Dexter. We all laughed as we walked away.
Normal POV
Kanna had been sent to help Keira directly after arriving. Erol cornered her once.
"Why are you hanging around Keria, eco freak." She replied,
"Why are you here, psychopath." He growled and stalked away. Kanna might have moments where her now five sides would try to take over but that usually resulted in her dropping a wrench or something similar.
"So what happened to you that you get those weird convulsions?" asked Keira.
"Baron Praxis did." said Kanna. "I'm a channeler and he pumped me full of all the eco he could find including dark eco, which is not pleasant. My cell mate was always on dark eco wile they mixed it up with me on yellow and blue one day and red and green or dark the next. If they'd had as long as they'd had with my cell mate with me I'm not sure I'd been entirely sane." said Kanna.
"Your cell mate is dead?" asked Keira.
"Mar no. He survived; he's a fighter for the underground. He has to do very er, dirty work as a hired gun. He has to do it since he has to be able to release the rage the dark eco filled him with." she said.
"What about the currier Jake?" asked Keira.
"Oh him? He was born like that. His dad was like him too. In more ways than one." she said and began working on the zoomer that she had been before.
"At least you were out the times Krew's new hired gun stopped in." said Keira, her dislike dripping from her every word.
"That must have been my cell mate!" said Kanna.
"How come you aren't like him then?" asked Keira.
"I'm better with fixing things than fighting." said Kanna.
Jak and Jake, with Dexter and Daxter tagging along, went out with Sig and took out several massive metalheads. Earlier that day, while Jake was mucking around the sewers, Jak had destroyed some eco shipments of Krew's. Jake walked in and smelled horrible.
"What's that smell?" asked Krew.
"Well, we were underground in the sewers, no thanks to you, what do you think smells?" asked Dexter.
"I think it was actually my lunch." said Krew and The pair cringed as Jak and Daxter entered.
"What smells?" asked Daxter.
"The sewer mission." muttered Jake. "I'll be back." and with that Jake ran out the door and leapt into the polluted waters of the harbor nor caring and climbed out feeling better than before, though he'd feel dirty later from the polluted waters he preferred polluted waters versus sewage any day.
"Not a bad idea." said Jak and he threw Dexter in and the ottsel came up sputtering. (Having jumped off Jake's shoulder as he headed for the water before.)
"Hey! Do you know how gross wet fur is?" he yelled. Jake looked at him and shook his head. "Next time, we make them take the sewer missions and we blow up stuff." said Jake.
"Not a bad idea, glad I came up with it." said Dexter.
Kanna was worried. She'd run into both her parents today.
FLASH BACK
Kanna was out buying parts for Keira while keeping an ear open for any thing new from the KG when she bumped into a woman with blonde hair.
"I'm so sorry." said Kanna.
"It's alright. I wasn't carrying much." said the woman and then they locked eyes. Kanna barely hid her shock. 'MOM? She said she was in Kras city during the Baron's reign over Haven.'
"Kristen." said the woman.
"Kanna." said Kanna.
"Kristen!" came a man's yell. He was a KG, high ranking too by the yellow on his armor. Kanna didn't need to look to see it was her father.
"Yes Blaze?" asked Kirsten.
"That girl is dangerous. She escaped with that monster Jak." he said.
"He's not a monster!" said Kanna. "Nor am I. The baron you've sworn fealty to is."
"He's killed over 100 KG soliders." he said.
"He didn't choose to be part of the Baron's twisted programs, nor I." said Kanna wondering how this man could possibly be her father. He seemed to sigh deeply.
"I was a corporal when they brought a 15 year old boy in two years ago for that program and I did nothing to help him. I won't make the same mistake twice. Pretend this never happened and so shall we." he said Kanna nodded and slipped away.
END FLASH BACK
She didn't know if she'd broken some time travelers rule or not. But she wondered; what was her mom doing in Haven for Precursors sake!
"Kanna, you seem worried?" asked Keira.
"I ran into a KG yesterday that's all." said Kanna.
"What? He didn't capture you?" asked Keira.
"No. He actually let me go because of something two years ago. He said he stood back and let the guard take a 15 year old boy in for the Baron's programs. He didn't like it then or now and he let me go since I am 15." said Kanna.
"Did he describe the boy to you?" asked Keira.
"No. He must be dead or my cell mate and if he's my cell mate he's still messed up from what they did to him." said Kanna. She saw Keira's face fall.
"What did your cellmate look like?" she asked.
"Well he was athletically built. His eyes had a sort of electric blue hue to them but they seemed to have been infused with a coldness. His hair was long starting green but going to blonde. His eye brows and goatee were green as well. He had several scars." said Kanna. Keira seemed to crumble.
"His name?" asked Keira.
"Hey we just destroyed Krew's Cargo." said a gruff voice that made Keira angrier than hearing about what the Baron may have done to, 'Don't think of him. Kanna said he might be dead.'
"Jak let me handle this. Look Lady we beat your stupid jet board challenge and you know what we don't want to be on your stinkin' racing team and you just lost a date with Orange Lightning!"
"Daxter!" said Keira and she opened the curtain and Kanna noted how she went to the furball first. "Jak, you've changed." said Keira for a lack of anything better to say.
"It's been a rough ride." said Jak going on memory autopilot fighting missing the Keira from the future.
Keira taken aback by Jak actually speaking. She'd thought that Krew's man had left before Daxter had spoken but hearing the same voice come from Jak's mouth had almost floored her.
"I know how you can get into the palace; the class Three Race is coming up. You can race for team since I'm one driver short." she said.
"But that's today." said Kanna.
"In four hours. I'm sure Jak can pick it up easily." said Keira. Kanna shrugged . She went back to work on the zoomer she'd been fixing up before.
"Jak! Kanna!" said Kara running in. Keira might have been shocked by Jak but now Kara was even more shocking.
"Who's that?" asked Keira.
"That's Kara. Jake's twin sister." said the girl addressing herself in the third person.
"Kara?" asked Jake entering wearing a helmet.
"I found something." she said.
Present (Just because I be cruel)
Mara was wearing a blonde wig while going to the liberation day festival, celebrating the death of Metal Kor. Paul was waiting for her wearing a green wig.
"It's almost been a month and they aren't back yet." said Mara.
"They'll be fine." he said.
"I hope you're right. They're dealing with your psycho Uncle." said Mara.
"He blows himself up and then Jak finishes him off." he said.
"I need you to do something for me." said Mara.
"What?" he asked.
"Don't tell my mother that I'm going to Spargus." she said.
"Why there?" asked Paul.
"The Precursor temple. I'm sure I'll be able to find a solution there. The oracle never talks to me in Haven." she said.
"When are you going?" he asked.
"Just after the fire works." she said. Her eyes glowed blue to get the point across.
"Be careful." said Paul.
"Why? Spargus owes their survival to my dad." said Mara. They walked through the festival ignoring everyone else. Edge, unfortunately spotted them. He could spot Apollo at ten paces wig or no wig.
"Apollo, who is that girl." he asked.
"Janie." said Paul guardedly. He looked at her.
"She looks like that mechanic.
"I'm her niece." said Mara lying effortlessly.
"How?" he asked.
"Her brother." she said and froze time so they could get away. Edge realized he'd been had Mara's little stunt proved that was a child of Mar. His own child was knowingly associating with a child of Mar. He'd teach the little witch for poisoning his child's mind.
'Uh Mara, that man is after us'
'Let me take care of him, few men can stand up to me'
'I think I might let you but the fire works display is soon I'll slip away then. If he does touch me I'll let Darkie have him.'
'I'm actually fine with that.'
'Oh my, the dark makers are back; Light's agreeing to let me tear some one to shreds'
'Not shreds, just a through beating.'
'Guys, enough! You two are going to give me a head ache.' Mara told her two halves. Just as Edge was going to touch Mara to drag her away from his Apollo the fireworks started and her saw dark eco crackle on her fingers. She knew he was going after her?
'Figures with a freak like her' he thought. She kissed Apollo on the cheek and then she was gone. He saw something glowing in the sky. He put two and two together and figured it was the eco freak.
He looked back at Apollo and he was gone too.
"Blast." grumbled Edge and he slipped out of the crowds.
Keira saw the light form flying away.
'Mara….' she thought exasperated. Many would think it was a hologram rigged up for the display. How she missed Jak. Usually he took her flying after the citizens were on their way to their homes. She hoped Kara figured out how to get them back soon.
