Soooooo~ I have updated and I actually spent a lot of time on this chapter. And the next one. Cause I'm so awesome I updated twice in a row. Heck yeah;)

Well..IIIIII do not own Jak and Daxter the game/series or its characters. Only my own characters and my own events..are mine!

And now we may start this lovely story featuring Kida and her crazy boyfriend Jak(:

IIII do not own Jak and Daxter sadly. Only my own character is mine. Thank you enjoy.

I screamed out loudly when I rolled down the hill. I had a feeling dirt was going to be covering me but I had a different problem at the moment.

"Kida, cliff!"

I opened my eyes and sure enough saw what awaited for me at the bottom. Close bottom. My green eyes widened before I shifted. My hand caught onto rocks and I screamed lightly when my body flew off of the edge.

I used my weight to hold my top half up, hanging tightly onto the side. I breathed heavily, holding on with one hand while I hung there. My bandanna fell from my neck and went down.

"Too close.."

"Tell me about it." I looked down and saw lava causing my green eyes to shift, "Alright…this is bad."

"Swing over to the ledge over there. Looks like a road."

I averted my eyes to where he said and sure enough saw a road close by. Nodding I pulled myself up enough to swing my body a few times before letting go.

I squeaked a bit, tucking a rolling on the dirt road and grunted.

"Work on the landing there, girl." I rolled my eyes at him, standing up and dusting myself off.

"Shut up," I bit out.

He chuckled some before growing quiet as I walked on. So it seemed there really wasn't much to talk about considering what just went down.

Him saying those things about being a guard and stuff…sorta had me thinking. Which was bad. If I thought it he knew it. A lose lose situation if you ask me.

"You do realize the small quarrel you're having with yourself..I can also hear."

I frowned deeply, walking down the dirt road towards the mountain.

"Maybe you should get out of my thoughts there, sir." The approach sounded easy enough, but that was more so I wouldn't have to be so angry all the damn time. He almost laughed at that as if I were joking, which in turn made me more irritated.

"No can do, ma'am. Even if I get out of your head…" I heard a small huff of a smirk. I narrowed my eyes and he went on, "You're stuck with me."

"The hell does that mean?" I questioned suspiciously. He knew something. Something I didn't know.

There was another chuckle and it went quiet again. Oh he was gonna get it. I scoffed annoyed heading to what looked like the entrance to a cave.

I looked up at the sky seeing nothing but clouds. Dark gray, sad looking clouds. I sighed shifting my eyes more and saw more lava. It surrounded the area. It seemed actually like a type of moat.

A painful, deadly, death written, moat.

"Yay the jewels in a volcano," I cheered sarcastically. I walked in simply seeing there really was no going back now.

'Whatever happens happens..I guess.'

3rd POV

Getting off of the Zoomer Jak didn't hesitate to walk to Onin's hut, the entire time Daxter complaining about, well…everything.

"-asks for any help!"

Jak sighed deeply and stopped outside of the entrance to Onin's hut, the male looking at Daxter who walked beside him.

"Are you done?" he asked folding his arms. Daxter inhaled, holding his breath. Jak raised a brow as he exhaled and then rolled his blue eyes. Daxter nodded hopping up on his bestfriends shoulder.

"Yeah let's do this!"

Jak shook his head, going in easily and was met with Pecker.

"It's about time you two showed up!" Jak frowned at the monkey birds squawk, the male looking over at the women.

"You knew we were coming." It was more of a statement and Onin shook her head causing Jake to blink. Daxter stared at Pecker annoyed, both of them nearly glaring. Pecker then turned his attention to Jak.

"We didn't need to know you were coming. You guys are loud as hell out there! I swear *squawk* even Onin herself could hear you!"

Onin glared at the birdbrain Jak shifting his weight while shutting his eyes. Daxter shook his head rolling his own eyes.

"Awe, come on! You already know why we're here!" he complained. Jak opened his eyes frowning at Onin and Pecker.

"We need information on Kida," he stated bluntly. Onin nodded, lifting her hand and there glowed a blue object.

Both males stared at it and Pecker put his hands together shutting his eyes calmly.

"Let me explain to you two idiots." Daxter glared but the moncaw obviously ignored it, "This is the communicator Kida instructed for you to come *squawk* get in her video."

Daxter grabbed the device easily, and dropped it in Jak's hand when he landed on his shoulder again. It flashed some but they didn't see anything. Jak raised a brow looking at Onin as Pecker started speaking again.

"She won't show up until she has the jewel," he explained shortly. Jak nodded sticking the communicator in his pocket and Dax spoke up.

"Jewel this. Jewel that! What the hell is this jewel everyone is talking about!" he shouted crossing his furry arms. Jak nodded though much more subtle about the whole thing.

"I'm wondering the same thing."

Pecker nodded as Onin made some hand signs, "Mmhm..Mmhm…Okay- it seems..she can't tell you."

Both of them stared at him dully and he held up his feathered hands.

"Aye aye don't get mad at me amigo! I'm just telling you how it is." Jake rubbed the bridge of his nose, Daxter seeing his friend was now clearly getting annoyed with the entire situation.

"Isn't there anything you can tell us?" Jak asked looking at them both. Onin nodded as well as Pecker, the monkey bird reading the hand signs.

"She says that the jewel is the key to Kida's issue. Then after she gets back it'll all make sense."

Jak sighed deeply. In reality it didn't help at all. Daxter rubbed his neck shaking his head, "More and more riddles. Man, this is tiring me out!"

Pecker glared.

"Okay look! Kida will appear somewhere near the south town after she gets the jewel! That's all I can really tell you okay?"

Jak nodded and smirked while Daxter saluted some.

"Thanks, birdbrain."

1st POV

"We've been wandering for what feels like ever," I said sighing. I rubbed my sore arms and felt the cuts from before faintly disappearing.

That reminded me about Erol. Then that lead to my kidnapping. And-

"Why did you try to make me think Jak was the enemy?" I questioned softly. I didn't get mad, I just wanted answers. Answers I knew he had.

It was quiet for a very long time as I walked further into the dimly lit place, the red liquid being my source of light.

"I was tired of you putting your faith in someone that hadn't cared," he said after a while. I didn't stop walking, hopping from stone to stone across the area until I was on the other side of the death river.

"Are you sure it's not cause you wanted to take control?" I asked dully. I heard a low growl and knew I was right. It only made sense of such things. I wasn't surprised.

"I'm not mad. You must hate me," I said softly. My slitted green eyes stared at the ground as I walked further on.

"I don't hate you." I tsked lightly, shutting my eyes calmly while walking on.

"I'd hate me."

There was a pause before he spoke once more, "Why..?"

I opened my eyes slowly, finding myself coming to an opening and thought more about it. He knew why. It wasn't a riddle. Being trapped somewhere. Not being your own person. It was like a prison.

"I would want control too after so long of being trapped. It's my fault you're trapped in my head. Guarding someone like me," I joked.

"Yeah well I haven't exactly done my job either." I raised a brow and he continued, "With protecting you, I mean. It wasn't until you were pumped with eco you were able to hear me. If I was there, Kida, Erol wouldn't have-"

"I know…" I cut in gently. In reality, I already knew he would have done all he could to protect me. In a sense that was a huge relief.

I stepped out to the clearing and stopped going wide eyed, "Okay…wow."

I was in the heart of the volcano now. That was made obvious. My eyes trailed up the crevasses of the mountain to the top. I narrowed my eyes and saw that it was actually a-

"It's a Warp Gate," he said astonished. I nodded shifting my weight.

"Seems that's our exit," I mumbled frowning. I leaned forwards some and saw all of the lava. I got sick to my stomach at that moment.

"Oh dear.."

"Please to Mar don't throw up, Ki." I rolled my eyes running a hand through my hair. It was a little nerve raking seeing so much hot liquid in one area.

"There it is!" At the sound of his voice I looked up instantly as if he were pointing and saw it. I broke into a large smile.

"The jewel!" I yelled. I wanted to run forwards but couldn't. I stared down at the lava before looking up at the jewel again.

The floating blue jewel seemed like a broken shard of glass, precursor writing all over it. It shinned dully but reflected off of other jewels around it. I stared at the blue one though, that was defiantly the one we needed.

"Now..what to do.." I mumbled looking around. I searched for a while longer before my eye trailed over a landing. It was a bit out there.

"You can use that stone to swing over," he stated bluntly. I stared more and saw what he was talking about.

It was risky. That landing didn't look to sturdy, and I only had a few more after that to even finally be close enough to jump to the stone that the jewel was on. Then again if I didn't do something soon I'd be fried. It was getting hotter by the minute.

I pulled my goggles down from my hair, the red screens protecting my eyes. I ran forwards and breathed in before jumping.

"Kida, what the hell are you doing!"

'Not now!'

I quickly swung forwards and flipped once for momentum before my feet planted on the landing. I heard the stone bar fall behind me and suddenly the landing began crumbling under my feet.

Quickly I ran twice before jumping onto the next one, my hands gripping the side as I pulled myself up. The sound of the rocks hitting the lava were behind me and I kept moving onto the next one.

"Only two more," I mumbled.

I moved as fast as my body would let me, the landings falling into the lava behind me with what sounded like a loud splash. I ran down the long stone platform, my eyes looking out at the jewel as I circled around it to the other side of the volcano.

I looked forwards and held my breath before jumping across the large gap. I landed on the back and somersaulted up to my feet, not hesitating before running again.

There was one more and then I'd be on the other side from my previous opening, the jewel growing closer by the minute. Even as I continued to move as fast as possible, I was human.

My aching limbs began to take effect and my lungs hurt from inhaling nothing but heat radiating from the lava. I shook my head, growing near the last edge before I'd be on the stone that had the jewel.

"Come on, Kida, you're almost there," he said reassuringly.

I nodded and jumped quickly at the end, my foot hitting air. I realized that the lava was higher now and fear hit me until I slammed into the last landing.

I gasped for air, my hair sprawled out around me and I laid on my back. Shaking my head I pulled my goggles from my eyes, shutting the green slitted orbs.

"Too…close…" I huffed smirking.

Jak so would not approve.

3rd POV

"No one has seen her," Daxter said loudly. Torn crossed his arms frowning and Jak sighed, running a hand through his hair.

They all stood in Underground HQ, nearly everyone in the room now. Ashlin shifted her weight, her hand on her hip.

"I'm going back to the palace to look for her again. If she tried to break in then there's a chance she could have been caught," she said shaking her head.

Jak shook his head frowning angrily, "She won't be there."

Samos raised a brow, the older Samos doing the same.

"Then where is she?"

Daxter huffed throwing his hands in the air, "We dunno! We have a communicator and still can't find her!" he exclaimed. Jak sighed, heading up the steps again.

Torn watched him and shook his head, "We've got everyone looking, Jak. We'll find her."

"That isn't enough!" Jak looked at them all and Daxter flinched from his spot on the table. Jak shut his eyes, clenching his fists. His worry for the girl grew every second he couldn't see her. And even if he vaguely knew where she was..it wasn't enough.

"I'm going back to the bar to talk to Sig and Jinx," he spat narrowing his eyes.

1st Person

I opened my eyes and sure enough above me were multi colored gems hovering. I stared at them all with lidded eyes, my mind replaying different precursor symbols. I reached out for the blue one in the center and watched as it slowly descended into my open palm.

Sitting up slowly as it hovered there for a moment it then fell softly. I felt a zap through me and went wide eyed, my vision blurring.

"You're both very important, dear." The women smiled at me nodded, her hand on my head. I stared up at her, feeling I was smaller now. Almost as if I were four all over again, my smaller self wearing a white dress.

Looking over I saw I was holding hands with someone the same size as me. I stared at the hand gripping mine and looked up. All my green eyes could see were teal green eyes staring at me.

"It'll be otay, Kida. We'll be together real soon!" I felt I was crying and sniffed shaking my head, speaking instantly.

"You can't leave! It's not fair!"

The women with green eyes and dark hair pulled me to her in a tight hug.

"When you find Mar you'll understand your purpose.." she said softly. She then put her hand on the persons head. I looked over as the teal green eyes shut slowly, and suddenly he floated, smiling.

"Kida!"

I blinked my eyes finding I was standing and gripped the blue jewel in my hand tighter. My eyes were watering.

I blinked repeatedly, looking around and felt rumbling. I gasped, finding my footing and looked around me as the other gems fell. I saw more precursor symbols flash through my vision and I gripped my head.

"What's happening?"

"Kida, get the hell outta here! The volcano!" The frantic voice in my head was louder and I looked around quickly.

Sure enough the lava was bubbling profusely. Sadly I had no way out.

"Oh shit," I breathed. I pulled my goggles on, shoving the jewel in my pocket. I looked up at the Warp Gate and saw it wasn't activated.

"I need to get up there!" I growled shaking my head. I was running out of time. We were running out of time. There was no way in hell I was losing here. I got so far. And not all alone either.

"We aren't dying. Not until you're your own person!" I snapped shaking my head. I pulled out my communicator quickly and threw it.

"Vin!"

In an instant static came in before I felt relief wash over me, "Kida, you're alive!"

I broke into a smile seeing Vin's face through the orange screen and pointed.

"I need you to activate a Warp Gate and fast! I'm in a volcano at least twelve kilometers from the last Warp Gate."

I heard some typing and heard a noise. I looked up and saw the Warp Gate flash before it was activated fully. I looked at the screen and nearly wanted to scream at Vin in joy.

"There ya go, Kida. B-B-But you gotta get outta there and fast!"

I nodded the communicator returning to my pocket and I looked around before shaking my head and pulling out my daggers.

"Kida…" I shook my head, stabbing them both into the stone and held on.

"We're getting out of here," I swore nodding. I felt an emotion of gratitude..and knew it wasn't mine. I smiled a little, my green eyes soft and I nodded.

"I promise you.."

I blinked when the stone began moving and suddenly the lava nearly exploded around me. I gasped moving out of the way and hanging onto the daggers. I closed my eyes tightly, myself and the stone shooting upwards as the volcano exploded.

A scream sounded from me and I prayed my plan worked, it was only then I figured out this was a bad idea. The stone almost flipped over and I moved my body the opposite direction, looking up to see the Warp Gate was right there.

I saw it flash on and off, my eyes going wide.

3rd POV

Jak almost crashed when his pocket started flashing quickly. Daxter pulled the device from his pocket quickly, pressing the button to the blue communicator Onin gave them.

"It's, Kida!" he cheered. Jak nodded, stopping and saw a dot signaling she was indeed back in Haven City.

Jak frowned deeply, his blue eyes hard as her coordinates read south town just as Onin said. He started the Zoomer quickly and headed off, Daxter hanging on for dear life.

Jinx and Sig watched as they went off from their spot at Hip Hog Heaven. Jinx blew out his cigar before stepping on it. Sig frowned crossing his arms.

"Where is she at?" Sig questioned annoyed. Jinx shook his head some, his hands in his pockets as he headed for south town.

"No point in standin' around. I'll find my girly," he stated easily, turning the corner.
