P.S. I wanted to add more, but I thought I would leave that for the next chapter.

The only thing I own in here are my OC's I hope you enjoy this new chapter c:

Chapter: 13

My communicator went off from where I had placed it. I looked at it to see it was a mission, and it was from the Confiscates, this made me smile for I knew I would be working alone tonight and not messing anything up. I pulled the unite out from my pocket and looked at the digital screen, with a message from Casandra. I ushered Daxter out of my house, and smiled as I locked the door behind me and spoke quickly, "Oh wow! Would you look at that? Duty calls!" I left Daxter in confusion as I headed off and on to a Zoomer near by that was left unguarded and out in the open.

I opened up my communicator heard Casandra's pretty voice speak to me with authority, "Alise, we need you to go to the port. Sources say that the Krimson Guard are up to something at the Port. It appears to have illegal shipments of Eco. We need you to check it out and confirm if it is." I looked around while I drove towards my new destination being the Port. "And if I find they are transporting illegal Eco?" I questioned her softly as I sped through the slums section of the city and was just about to pass the Power Station.

"You will do nothing but report back to us. We need the Underground's help...My brother and I have contacted Torn and agreed with him on helping each other with a similar mission. These options are not a daily thing, I hope you know that." Her voice was cold. So cold that it made the blood in my body freeze with uncertainty. "Alright fair enough." I said after a long pause.

When I finally slowed down and surveyed the area, I didn't see any sign of KG's anywhere near the boat in the Port's waters. 'Wait there is a boat. And it is in the Port's waters?!'I thought as I drove over to the massive boat that was slowly getting bigger and clearer. I soon realized this was no boat, it was a bloody tanker ship. I pulled out my communicator, called up Casandra and told her about the massive ship and how I had not seen any guards near the area.

"Alright, why don't you check that ship out then?" She asked while sounding busy. "Wait what? I thought that-" my voice raised with confusion but shortly cut off. "Change of plans," Casandra barked, "someone else is on that ship. We need to find out who it is. You are the only one in that area, so go to the top of the ship by Zoomer. It is faster that way than going level by level. Besides, even if you did go level by level, only an ottsel could fit in some of those levels. Oh and it is likely heavily guarded by guards, so be careful."

And with that my communicator went back into my pocket, and I was left hovering in front of a massive ship. It looked like a war machine of mass destruction just rocking in the calming waves of the Port's water. I lent over the edge of the path and looked at the surface of the water to see my reflection dancing in many ways from the cool and calming wind grazing the water, causing suction under the boat. The water then bounced back from against the path and massive boat leaving my reflection gone for a few moments. My light blonde hair was long again, and my pale skin was still soft some how. I wore the usual Haven City clothing to blend in more.

~*Unknown P.O.V*~

Pools of Eco, swished and sloshed from the rocking of the massive rig. The depth of each pool seemed almost endless. The gentle rocking, however, eventually made the Eco stir more violently each time. The deep purple of Dark Eco pools surrounded me and I knew if I touched any, I was a goner. My boots clanked on the surface of metal, and thudded on the wood patch-ups. "Why the heck are we here anyways?!" my companion yelped, "This is suicide! The minute one of us gets covered, or both, we are goners."
'That might be so...' I thought, 'But the Baron is hiding something in here. In this shipment of illegal Eco.'

"They wanted us to check out if there were illegal shipments, there are. Plenty as well," I started, "Now we just need to know what is hidden inside..." I trailed lowly as I made my way for a titanium door. It was patched up with other metals it seemed. And scuffed and dull with color. I placed my hand over the knob and opened the door slowly. Its cold metal licked my warm hands, wanting my body's heat with a greedy action.

"I know you're hiding something here, Praxis..." I trailed as I entered the room slowly.

It was dark, almost too dark to see. Yet the only reason I could see was from small cracks in the walls around me allowing light into the room. I rounded a corner carefully as I tried to make my boots not clank so loudly on the metal, but that was when I saw it. I called for my companion to come over to where I was when I located something I knew was not on the legal list. "I found it.." I trailed as I walked slowly over to a giant glass container holding our prize. Inside it was a sword that had the letters 'Marauder's Gem' engraved in a spiral down the handle of it. The handle itself was golden and with a different assortment of gems. These six gems seemed to represent that of Eco. The gems on there were the colors of Green, Red, Yellow, Blue, Dark and Light Eco. The blade itself appeared jagged, each smaller blade facing backwards, and split in the middle leaving the tip to jut out straight with two long prongs. Its clean silver blade shone from the refection of a pale white light above it in its case.

I felt the air around me get thick and bitterly cold as my body had a chill arise in it. I whispered to myself with a grin, "The Marauder's Gem." and proceeded to deactivate the security using the Ecogrid.

After I deactivated it, my plan was to grab the sword and get out of here. But when I went to touch the sword, it would not let me. Instead of me grasping it and taking off I got a nasty zap to the hand. I winced and shook the pain off, but this time I grabbed it again and went through the electrifying pain. I groaned as its electric current ran through my body trying to freeze me in place but I pushed forward. I was nearly about to scream in agony when it went into my backpack finally. "Well, we got it. Time to-" I got cut off when the door slammed open and a mysterious figure stood outside. From what I could tell, it was a rather petite female.

"What the fuck are you two doing here?!" she demanded rather aggressively.

"Just looking for illegal shipments..." I trailed.

"The shipments are outside, dumb-ass!" She barked with rage.

"Listen we don't mean any-" I got cut off when the sword in my backpack started shifting around, "What the hell?" I breathed to myself quietly for no one to hear.

The woman approached me slowly, her boots clanked against the metal floor, and her eyes locked with mine with a cold glare. When she looks at me it always feels so normal, like as if I have met her before. I tensed as she got inches away from me, she was right against my chest with her small hand over my heart. I felt my heart start to race like it never had before. "What do you want?" I asked softly with a bitter taste. The woman merely smiled at me and raised her hand to cup my face. I pushed her hand away as she looked into my eyes the way Keira did.
"What do you want?" I repeated myself. This time she merely chuckled and grabbed my scarf, pulling my ear close to her soft lips. "Give me my sword back..." She whispered and let me go.

"What sword?" I asked, acting as if I had no knowledge of what she was talking about. She bared her teeth at me and wrapped her hands into tight fists speaking with a venomous tone, "I know you have my sword. Give me it back, it rightfully belongs to me." She paused for a moment before speaking softly as she got close to me again, but this time beside my shoulder, "Give me The Marauder's Gem back now you fool." She breathed softly. I could feel the hotness of her breath. Before I had time to realize what she was doing, she had snatched the sword from me with no injuries. I turned around to face her. As she held it, all the gems in the sword began to light up. All but the last one. The one meant for Light Eco. She held up the sword as if she was threatening to attack me.

"Zoey, what are you doing? We are on the same side!" I barked as I held my ground.

"I know..."She whispered as she carefully put the sword away, "I was never intending on fighting you, Jak." And with that she left the room quietly. I ran up to her and grabbed her arm.

"What are you-?" she had begun to ask me but I cut her off with a kiss. My eyes closed and I felt her soft warm lips against mine trying to resist but eventually give in. It wasn't a long kiss, just enough to make her speechless. I pulled away from her lips, and opened my eyes to look into hers with a small smile. Her eyes batted open innocently for a moment and that made me smile more. Instantly I felt her hand make harsh contact with my cheek and she began to yell at me, this was not the reaction I was expecting. I held my face where she had slapped it, and it was getting hotter every second. 'Looks like I'll have a red hand mark on my face now. Great.' I thought to myself.

"What the fuck do you think you are doing?!" she demanded from me with a glare in her eyes that showed she was really pissed off from my actions. I stayed silent only to hear her sigh, "You know what forget I even asked." Her footsteps were fading. I watched her walk away for a moment before I ran over to her again and stood in front of her, "Look I'm sorry I don't know what came over me.." I trailed apologetically. She just looked at me displeased and folded her arms.

"Look, I need to head back to HQ, Jak," she said impatiently as she hopped on a parked Zoomer, "I am going to report back the findings of illegal Eco."

"What about that sword?" I asked her with distrust.

"It belongs to me. The Baron stole it from me thinking he, and anyone else in the world, could gain its power." her voice was calm, "If you want to learn more about this sword, meet me at my place when you can. And who knows, I might able to help you with other things if you need it."

I didn't respond to her, I just stared at her and watched as she took off.

"Jak," my communicator showed up in front of me suddenly and on it was Torn, "we need you and the rat to get to HQ, we have another mission for you."
