I don't own Jak and Daxter or any of it's characters, I only own Krane, Schorn/Overture, Marlin, and the two at the end of his chapter.

Thanks for the reviews! I can't believe how many this thing has! Anyways, I won't bore you up here so...

Enjoy!

Krane had finally made it to the front of the Palace and was now walking into the main hallway. She had taken her gun out in case she ran into any guards on the way up and it was leading out in front of her as she walked. The main hallway she was in eventually led down towards an elevator with its doors wide open.

Jinx must have opened it. Krane thought as she began to run towards the elevator.

She ran into the elevator and slammed her open palm against a large button sitting on the right side of the door. The doors slammed shut and she could feel the elevator start to move upwards as blue lights flew passed her over and over again. Wanting to use her time wisely, she began to reload her gun as she waited.

He'd better not be hurt. If he's hurt I'm gonna kill him. She thought with a hint of bitterness behind it.

The elevator came to a stop and opened its doors. Krane moved her gun out in front of her once more and began walking out slowly, stepping into another large hallway. She had been here before; this was the same hallway Overture's room had been in, and where the computer was that would allow her to get home. As she passed the room, she stopped for a moment and looked at the door.

Home. Home was right behind the door. She thought about just walking into the room and forgetting about this world, that was, because she was assuming that Kor had already been defeated. If she walked into this room, she could be where she was supposed to be and possibly be happy.

She shook her head. That thought had just been so selfish in that one moment and she couldn't believe that a thought like that could exist within her. Turning away she took in a quiet breath.

I've waited two years to get home; I can wait a few more hours. Krane thought as she walked by Overture's door.

Suddenly, the sound of gunshots filled the hallway Krane was in, causing her to move against the right wall. Lights flashed at the end of the hallway, telling Krane that the gunshots were coming from the next room.

"Jinx," Krane whispered.

She ran down to the end of the hallway to see the throne room with three guards standing near the other exit of the room. Be careful, she moved her head outwards a bit to see Jinx hiding behind the throne.

"There's another one!" one of the guards yelled, giving Krane away.

"Shit," Krane hissed.

Krane ran in the direction of the throne, hiding behind pillars to avoid the guard's bullets. When she came close to the throne, she rolled and managed to duck behind it as bullets flew by her.

"I was wonderin' when you were gonna show up," Jinx said as Krane moved her back against the throne. "I've been waitin' all day!"

"Sorry," Krane said between hard breaths. "Do you get those documents?"

"Hell yeah!" Jinx said, reloading his gun at the same time. "Why the hell do you think those guards are after me?"

Jinx moved against Krane for a moment as his right hand searched through his pocket. After a few seconds of searching, Jinx pulled out a few pieces of paper that had been folded together. He handed them to Krane and moved back against the throne.

"Keep 'em," he said in a low whisper. "I know I've got a better chance of getting them messed up."

Krane placed them in her pocket where her disc once stayed. Now that she had the documents, she looked back towards Jinx who looked irritated.

"Not in a good mood are you?" Krane answered back, reloading her gun as well.

Jinx ignored her comment and moved around the throne, aiming his gun towards one of the guards. He fired three times, hitting one guard and knocking him down. In retaliation, a fellow guard fired back towards Jinx, shooting the gun away from his hand.

"Ah shit!" Jinx hissed, ducking back behind the throne and moved his hand back and forth. "They shot away my damn gun!"

"How are we supposed to get out of here?" Krane asked looking at Jinx to make sure his hand was still there. "We need something to distract them dammit!"

"You wanna volunteer?"

"Hey!" Krane hissed. "Don't be a smartass!"

"I ain't!"

In all of their time together Jinx had never talked to her like he was now unless it was in a playful tone. She had heard him talk to his friends and Torn like that before, but he had never talked to her like that. Thinking about that and the situation at hand, Krane muttered underneath her breath and slammed her right fist onto the floor.

"I set up two bombs on the other side of the room," Jinx said, breaking Krane's thoughts. "The controller's outta range though, we gotta get closer."

Krane looked over the throne a bit to see the two bombs against either sides of the wall, one closer to the guards who were near the door. She turned back to Jinx after the quick look.

"Can't I just shoot it?" Krane asked, bringing her gun up to show what she meant.

"Not with us back here! This damn thing will come down and kill us both!" Jinx pointed to the throne behind the both of them. "Besides, I've got another bomb placed underneath this floor that will blow us outta this place!"

"We've got to get that bomb," Krane whispered. "We can't stay here like this forever!"

"Alright! Come out with your hands up!" a guard's voice said as he placed a gun against Krane's left temple. "I will put this bullet through your head so get up!"

"Shit," Jinx hissed as a guard appeared by his side as well.

The guards led Jinx and Krane towards the middle of the throne room with their hands up in the air. Once they stood in the middle of the room, the guards moved in front of them with their guns still pointed at the two.

"Put your gun away," one guard instructed towards Krane.

Krane did as told and placed her gun back into her holster that was sitting on her right hip. The guards both laughed a bit, and looked over towards Jinx.

"We saw you take those documents and kill our buddies," one guard said towards Jinx. "Hand the documents over and die!"

"Wait—"

Jinx moved his hand in front of Krane, cutting her off. "I've got your documents," Jinx said with a grin.

"Hand them over!" the guard ordered.

Jinx moved down into his pockets once more and pulled out another set of papers that looked similar to the ones he had given Krane. The guard moved forward and grabbed the documents away from Jinx, and pressed his gun against Jinx's chest.

"Don't!" Krane cried. "What the hell are you doing?!"

"I'm exterminating the Palace," the guard answered.

The guard took a few steps backwards, and moved his laser right in the middle of Jinx's chest. Jinx took in a deep breath and closed his eyes while Krane's mouth dropped open.

"DON'T!" Krane screamed.

The guard pulled the trigger on his gun, causing a bullet to fly out towards Jinx. The bullet penetrated Jinx's chest, destroying everything inside, and then pushed out of his back and grazing the side of Krane's left cheek.

"That'll teach you a lesson," the guard snickered.

Krane moved forward and grabbed Jinx's body as it fell backwards and fell to her knees with him. His head lay in her lap as she looked down at him, tears instantly falling from her left eye. She shook him a bit, still in shock of everything that had happened and waited as his right eye opened.

"Why?" Krane whispered. "Why couldn't you just let me die?"

"Because," Jinx grinned as blood fell from his mouth. "I love you."

Krane's eyes widened as she listened to what Jinx had to say for the first time with an empty mind. His words hit her for the first time and echoed through her empty mind as he closed his eyes and gave off a small laugh.

He was gone.

"Jinx?" Krane asked, as her eyes grew wide. "Jinx? Come on don't do this to me please!! Jinx come on! JINX!"

There were no words that could describe the feelings that were running through Krane. No human or Precursor words that could fit the feelings Krane was feeling as a sting of what she considered to be pain hit her. She sat there, speechless as she grabbed the gun off of her hip, alerting the guards. Her arm brought the gun to her head where she placed the barrel against her temple.

"Looks like we don't have to do anything else," one guard said, lowering his gun. "She's gonna off herself!"

Krane placed her index finger on the trigger but instead of pulling it there, she quickly pointed it to the bomb and pulled the trigger twice. The bullets flew towards the bomb and as soon as the bullet pierced the bomb, it exploded.

"Shit!" one guard yelled.

The explosion pushed the guards forward, passed Jinx and Krane and set off the other bomb on the opposite side of the room. While the fire began to engulf the throne room, and the energy pushed Krane back a bit, she wrapped her arms around Jinx's neck and lowered her head onto his.

"I don't want to be here without you," she whispered. "So I'll be with you shortly… Jinx."

The floor underneath them began to shake as the bomb underneath them finally blew up. Krane grabbed onto Jinx's body and waited for the worst pain she was ever going to feel in her life when she realized that all of the noise had stopped. The explosions and sounds of things collapsing became silenced, and Krane could no longer feel the heat from the fire around her.

"Is it over?" Krane asked out loud. "Am I finally dead?"

"Not yet!" a male voice said.

In shock, Krane looked up to see a man standing in front of her. He was strange looking, with bright red hair that was tied upwards in a ponytail and pushed backwards, and bright green eyes. There was a burned on moon under his right eye and a star under his left, making him stand out. His outfit was what looked like a black dress shirt and black pants with a black trench coat covering his arms.

"Who…are you?" Krane asked.

He moved his right hand forward and flicked Krane's nose. "The man of your dreams," he answered. "Jinx has just used up his ticket and I have to save that damn computer room for you to get home so thank your lucky stars I showed up!!"

"Home?" Krane blinked. "Ticket?"

Krane looked around her to see that she was still in the burning throne room but she was protected by a large white bubble. The strange man was standing inside the bubble with them, but he suddenly stepped out and crossed his arms.

"The computer will be here when you need to go home alright?" the man said with a turn of his head. "Make sure not to do anything stupid! I will tire of saving your ass you know!!"

The man moved his right hand upwards, and the bubble that held Krane and Jinx flew up and out of the Palace. The bubble flew high above the city skyline and popped, letting the two fall downwards towards the city. Krane lost a hold of Jinx for a moment, and he moved further away from her as they fell.

"Jinx!" Krane screamed.

She tried moving over towards him and reaching her arms out towards him but she just couldn't reach him. She began to cry once more and reached out as far as she could but always fell short by a few inches.

"Jinx NO!" she cried. "You're the person I want to save more then anything! Please Jinx! I love you too much!"

A slight pain came to Krane's head, feeling almost like it had three times before. Her head began to pound as she fell downwards but she ignored it the best she could and kept trying to reach for Jinx's hand. The pain started to become as intense as it had before but then all of a sudden the feeling left and she was left with a feeling of euphoria.

"Jinx," Krane whispered.

Krane tried to reach for Jinx once more, and this time she managed to grab his right hand. She pulled him over towards her with every bit of strength she had inside of her until his head was on her shoulder. With his hand, she laced her fingers with his and rubbed her face on the side of the side of his face.

"I'm sorry I was so selfish before," she whispered into his ear. "Jinx, I hope you can forgive me."

A few feet in front of the falling two, a Warp Gate appeared. Krane moved, aiming herself and Jinx for the Warp Gate. Once she was in line with the gate, she relaxed and held tightly to Jinx's body.

"I love you too," she said, rubbing her face beside his once more.

The memories of the past two years began flying by Krane as she fell further down towards the Wrap Gate. When she first came to this world, all she could think about was getting home, and that determination had gotten in the way of everything. But what it hadn't gotten in the way of was Jinx's love for her. Through all of her pushing and whining, Jinx still managed to fall in love with her and gain her attention back as well.

The Warp Gate finally came up to where they were and they fell through it, with Krane holding tightly to Jinx's body. The warmth of the Warp Gate covered both of their bodies and finally forced Jinx to take a breath inwards.

Jak had finally defeated Kor, and know he was standing in the middle of the Metal Head nest with a light figure of a man. Jak stood there with his mouth open in shock as Samos, Keira, the Shadow, and the child walked up behind them.

"Oh man... a Precursor," Jak said in awe.

"It is finished...Our ancient enemy is no more. Take hope brave one! The terrible darkness inside you is now balanced by a glorious light! But remember, there are more, stronger enemies out there, enemies that have now gain faces. We will meet again," the light figure said.

"Great!" Daxter yelled. "Something else to keep me up at night!"

The light figure jumped into the Rift Ring next to Jak and Daxter while Keira stepped over to Jak.

"We haven't much time. I've set the coordinates back to our village. Let's go home, everyone," Keira said, pointing to the Rift Ring.

Jak smiled. "But we are home."

"Keira, I'm afraid your Rift Rider must be used to send young Jak here to a place where he will grow up safe from harm. He must become old enough to complete the destiny he has fulfilled today," the old Samos said towards his daughter.

"Wait a minute! It's you! I mean... it's me! I have to take him back and watch over him, don't I? Ah, grub roots! Talk about being in the wrong time at the right place!" the younger Samos said.

Jak walked over to the younger version of himself. "Hey kid... you take care. Oh... and trust me on this...Stay away from any wumpbee nests on your ninth birthday, okay?" he said playfully as the child nodded.

"I sure hope I built this replica right. I don't know if it—"

"It's perfect, Keira. This is the very machine we found... or will find later," the older Samos said, interrupting his daughter.

Keira blinked. "What? I just built this. After seeing the first one, I mean. It's based on what I remember from..."

"Honey, the more you think about it, the more it hurts the head!" Daxter said, patting Keira on the back.

The ship Keira had built began to hover up towards the Ring and was about to leave through the Ring when the young Samos turned back to the older group.

"I'll take good care of the child! And don't worry... I'll be back in time for the celebration! Fare well!" the young Samos yelled back.

The ship slipped through the Ring and back into the past where Jak would build all of his memories and become the person he was. This was this child's chance to grow up happily, well until he met a small friend by the name of Daxter.

"Thanks Samos. Without you—"

"It's funny... The boy won't remember any of this," Samos said, interrupting Jak.

As Samos spoke, the Rift Ring crumbled into nothing but a single pile of rocks and dirt. Jak looked over towards the crumbled Ring, and remembered how a few years ago, he would haven given anything to go through that Ring to make it back home but now he was happy. He was happy here in this future.

"No...I do remember the light!" Jak said, taking his eyes away from the Rift Ring.

"Jak! Over," Torn's voice said over Jak's radio.

"What? Over," Jak answered back over his own radio.

"Jinx and Krane are down! They're not waking up! Hurry up and get down here with the Shadow. Over," Torn answered.

Jak sighed. "The Shadow isn't here anymore. What should I do? Over."

"Get Samos down here then! Just hurry up! Out!"

"Shit," Jak hissed, placing his radio back on his hip. "This isn't going to be good."

"And I thought we were going to finally relax!" Daxter hissed. "I never should have planned my vacation without checking with Torn first!"

"You were going to go on vacation?" Jak asked, looking at his Ottsel friend.

Daxter crossed his arms. "I was gonna try!"

When Krane opened her eyes once more she found that she could only see out of her left eye. She blinked once more, trying to make sure that there just wasn't something in her eye only to find that she had finally lost the sight in her right eye.

It's gone. She thought gently.

Looking around the room, she found that she was lying in Jinx's bed with Jinx by her side only something was different. There was a white aura around the room that made the room seem soft and gentle. Krane sat up and felt that the window was allowing a cool breeze into the room.

The room just felt so strange, almost as if she were in a dream of some sort. The more and more she looked around; she noticed that everything looked white, the sheets, the wallpaper, and the curtains covering the window. She looked around for a bit longer and then looked back down at Jinx. His hair had come out from being pushed back and was now in front of his face, showing Krane that it was longer then she thought it was, going down to his upper lip.

Jinx…

A smile crossed Krane's face. She laid back down on the bed and moved over towards Jinx, placing her head in his chest. Her arms tucked into her chest as she pressed them against his chest as well and placed her head in his neck.

"If we really are dead," Krane began, "I'm happy I'm finally with you."

Krane closed her eyes as her breathing began to slow down and relaxed into Jinx's neck. The breeze from the window continued to blow inwards as Krane let go of a low sigh and Jinx let go of a long sigh as well. The wind blew over them, and the white blanket covering them moved a bit.

The sudden feeling of warmth came over Krane's body. She accepted the feeling of warmth and feel into a deep, warm sleep.

R&R please!
