CHAPTER 2
Back at his home, Samos the Sage was reading through some old precursor books, old journals and diaries, as well as other history books to cross reference with. He had been worried about Jak ever since he recieved his Dark Eco powers. He had decided to do some research to see if he could help Jak. He came across something astonishing. A journal entry from a man named Kane. It didn't seem very old. Maybe 50 or so years. He read the passage out loud for a second time.
Samos : " I have been watching my best friend Alcun for a while now. Ever since he had that terrible accident with Dark Eco, he has not been the same. And when he gets angry, he turns into some form of demon and rips everything apart. The only one who was ever able to calm him down was his sister, Flora. However I am writing today concerning her. She has died. Just the other day she was killed by Metal Heads. Alcun was infuriated. He transformed like I had never seen before. His power was incredible. The earth under me shook when he transformed. Sparks of Dark Eco surged around him. He shot blasts of Dark Eco so strong at the Metal Heads, there were not even ashes when the smoke cleared. He was not done however. He ripped the rest of them to shreads. Finally he looked at me. I plead with him to stop and that it was over. The Metal Heads were dead. He slowly turned back into his normal self and collapsed onto the floor. I took him and his sister's body home by myself. That night I decided that now that Flora was dead. It was only luck that I had stopped him. I decided that I would have to kill my best friend."
Samos could not say a word. If this man Kane had to kill his friend Alcun, what would that mean for Jak. And what was this transformation Kane had never seen before? Samos delved into his books again.
SCENE CHANGES TO KEIRA IN THE RACE STADIUM
5 HOURS AGO
Keira : YEA GO GUYS! THATS 12 OUT OF 60 LAPS NOW! But man do championships take forever. Hell, at least they're in first place. Man I really hope they win.
This continued for the next four and a half hours, Keira's team was on their 56th lap. She was busy on the track fixing one of her team's zoomers in a pit-stop. It only needed a new hover generator so she had it going in a flash. The racer flew back onto the track at high speed. Keira sighed and looked around. One driver, nicknamed Blaze was flying very aggresively. And way too aggresively, Keira thought. He was in second place behind her best driver, Crone. The drivers passed for their 57th lap. Keira looked around again. She looked in the bleachers for Jak. She didn't see him on the north or west sections. The drivers passed their 58th lap. He wasn't in the south or east sctions either. She called to one of the workers and asked him to go check if a man named Jak had checked his season ticket into the stadium. The worker went. While he was gone she wondered why he would never come to the races. The worker came back just as the racers completed their 59th lap. He told her that he hadn't checked in.
Keira : I don't know what I'm waiting for. He never shows up anyway. Forget it. At least after this race is finished I can go visit hi-
Keira was looking up at the bleachers when Jak walked in smiling. She smiled back at him. Suddenly Blaze's loud voice could be heard over the roaring engines.
Blaze : GET THE HELL OUTTA MY WAY!! NO WAY AM I LETTING YOU WIN CRONE!!
Blaze suddenly pulled out a blaster and shot out Crone's engine. He lost control and crashed, and just as Blaze felt triumphant, he lost control and flew off of the track, into the many barrels of gasoline and eco stored in the stadium.
From afar, Samos witnessed a large explosion...
