Ok. Last chapter in concerns with 'The Precursor Legacy'. And I thought about it while working on this chapter that I am not going to do Daxter. HOWEVER I will mention parts of it when ever Daxter and Scarlet have there bonding talks. You'll understand later. So I know this is ass short SO I'm doing all Jak time line blah de blah solely in THIS story. So it's just one GIANT continuation. A.T.

When we did absolutely everything we headed for the Lava Tube and met up with Keira. She's literally just STANDING THERE! Next to a LAVA WATERFALL! And she's supposed to be so smart. HAH! ... Wow I'm getting mean. I should really try to chill out more... NAH! Everyone has evil thought in their heads. We jumped down to her and she spun around to us laughing.

" Hahah. Alright! With these additional power cells, I should be able to supply the heat shield with enough power to stand up to this lava. But the shield still has a limit. Of course you Guys could get there faster it the zoomer was one body lighter."

I gave her a really hard look. She double insulted me! THE HELL?! She not only pretty much insinuates i'm not good enough to even ride with them, she's also calling me fat without straight up saying it. Daxter even gave her a look just because he knows. Jak even looked a bit mad at that but all Keira did was bat her eyes at him and he smiled at her. I should just give up while I'm ahead.

" It will now with stand temperatures up to eight hundred degrees but no more. So keep an eye on your gauge. I don't want to think about what those temperatures would do to your zoomer if the shield gives out."

Daxter was looking off thinking.

" Yeah. The heat."

3... 2... 1...

" WHAT?! The zoomer?! Hey, what about the three of us? Don't you think we could look for a safer route to Gal's Citadel?"

" Well look, I've released more cooling balloons into the tube so you can use them to keep the temperature down. And don't forget to activate the teleport gate in the Yellow Sages lab. We're counting on you boys."

I just shut down when Jak nodded before he realized what she said. I looked down and hopped on the zoomer. While Jak looked at me apologetically Keira stood behind him smiling. Daxter actually growled at her. For me. That's why I cared for him so much. He's odd but when push comes to shove he's a good friend. Jak hopped on in front of me and Daxter sat between us. We took off into the tube. I barely held on. I just didn't really have the energy to. I climbed off first and kept my head down and went over to the teleporter. I heard Daxter hit Jak on the back of the head. I heard him whispering but I didn't care what it was about. I activated the teleporter and stepped aside. Keira was the only one to come through. Daxter noticed too.

" HEY! Where old short green and wrinkly?"

" This is terrible. Father is missing. I think Gal and Maia may have kidnapped him as well."

" Relax sweetheart. I have everything under control."

" Under CONTROL?! Lurker armies continue to grow across the land, the sage's have been kidnapped,"

She then pointed to me.

" This useless thing is just in the way of everything, Gal and Maia have gathered enough Eco to complete their terrible plan, and to stop the you'r going to have to fight your way through their Citadel."

Daxter was not happy about what she said about me. Apparently I don't even qualify as a girl. Thanks. Jak wasn't happy either. I guess Daxter told him some stuff. I just shoved past Keira to the door. I needed to hit something. Hard! She then begged Jak to rescue her father, acting as if no one noticed what she said about me in the first place or like I was there at all. I heard her say be careful in an oh so sweet way. Jak smiled. Yep. I give up. Then what Daxter said really touched my heart. He's like a little brother and I love him for it.

" Yeah. WE will be. Including HER!"

I'm assuming he was pointing at me and I not only felt HER green eyes glaring into me... I felt HIS blue ones running over me as well. I guess my posture did give away how I was feeling. My head was down and my shoulders were tense. I was trying really hard not to cry. I had to be strong and help save the Sage's. I heard Daxter's little paws on the floor running over to me and felt the added weight on my left shoulder. I barely moved my head to the side to see him. I walked on and heard Jak following at a slight distance. We started down the hall way to what I was assuming was where we'd be doing a lot of fighting. I was ignoring Jak as he moved to walk beside me. He was scratching his neck nervously while my eyes staid hidden behind my bangs. He went to say something but I cut him off and raised my hand.

" Save it. It's obvious how you feel. Let's just get this done."

I went to walk ahead but he grabbed my wrist and spun me around. He shook his head. I guess he wanted to talk. Fine.

" Look Jak. Things have always been bad between me and Keira since I first showed up two years ago. When you two and her father aren't around, she pushes me aside and calls me a burden that her father feels Obligated to take care of. Since you and Daxter are the only guys around even CLOSE to our age, she flirts away with you to keep you interested in her yet all I see is her playing with you to have fun while at the same time hurting me because she knows I like you!"

Tears were streaming down my cheeks as they turned red from getting so worked up.

" She'd knock me over or misplace my things. She'd tell me the most horrible things. She even said I was abandoned. I've never done ANYTHING to you go ahead and like her Jak cause that seems to make you happy. And as long as your happy that makes me happy enough."

I turned away from him. I wanted to go on ahead but his grip on my wrist because slightly tighter but also gentler. My shoulders were shaking.

Jak was looking at the smaller girl in shock. Thinking about, he noticed how much Keira really did just play with him while Scarlet actually cared. Where Keira flirted Scarlet smiled stood by him. In all of two years it took till this very moment to realize that his female friend, the one that has always been beside him and cared along with Daxter, and gone through all these challenges... loved him. And it took all that to realize that he had been slowly falling for her. his grip loosened at his realization and Scarlet ripped her hand back from him and continued on. Once we walked through the other door, we were in for a shock. There was a giant precursor robot before us guarded by a shield and a voice from above caught our attention.

" It's about time you three decided to show up."

" NICE to see YOU TOO! Do they have you mopping the floors now?"

Jak face palmed and I shook my head at Daxter.

" There's no time for jokes Daxter. Gol and Maia kidnapped us to zap our energies to power their abominable machine. It appears they have combined the functional remains of a precursor robot with scavenged artifacts from across the land. Then they added a few diabolical additions of their own, creating the one thing capable of opening the Dark Eco silos. If you can free the four of us we can use our combined powers to break the force field surrounding the robot before they use it to destroy the world."

We got a move on. though While Daxter and Jak handled freeing one sage I went off to help another. No longer caring much for Saimos' warning about straying too far. Jak and Daxter got the Yellow Sage. The guy is gross and makes me think he's a back water type of guy. I went and freed the Blue Sage. Are all the Sage's strange? I'm starting to think Saimos is normal. I went off to free another and ended up meeting with Jak. I ignored him but followed him to free the Red Sage. The Red Sage was kind and collected. Nothing like the other two we freed. We made out way up to the top to free Saimos. Once he was freed he levitated out of his cage and up to us.

" Good work you three. Your real hero's now."

Did he sound slightly sarcastic to anyone else?

" And Scarlet. You came such a long way. I'm very proud."

Now that put a smile on my face. I know I hadn't said before but Saimos has been like a father to me since I showed up in little Sandover Village.

" I'll combine my Green Eco power with the other three sages, and together we'll open the shield door surrounding the precursor robot."

" Yeah yeah that sounds like a good start. And then after you guys open that shield, what are you gonna do about the robot?"

" Nothing Daxter. We have to keep the shield open. It's up to you three to figure out how to destroy the robot."

Daxter looked like he was about to have a heart attack.

" Oh great! I get to help the two that turned me into a furball to destroy the only person who can turn me back!"

Oh yeah... I forgot about that. Daxter just makes such a handsome ottsel it's hard to remember he was once like us... granted that wasn't even that long ago heheh. Heh. Then Saimos floated down and began working on the shield with the other Sage's.

" First save the world. Then we'll try to convince Gol to help Daxter."

Once the shield was down he floated back up to us. Suddenly Gol and Maia floated up above.

" You're too late Saimos. Once I posses limitless Dark Eco, I will have the key to creation itself."

" This is Madness. Releasing that much Dark Eco could destroy everything we know. Just look what it's done to you!"

" It has given us a beauty beyond anything you could understand."

Wow Maia is vain. Daxter of course had something to say to that.

" Beauty? Have you two looked in the MIRROR LATELY?!"

" Just wait until we open the silos little one. You think short and fuzzy is bad."

" And to think, you two traveled all this way for MY help. FOOLS! Enjoy your front row seats to the recreation of the world!"

The disappeared into the robot. Not. Good. Saimos turned to us.

" Quickly. Take the elevator up and STOP that robot!"

This is going to be so hard. But I sucked it up. We hurried over to the silo and began fighting I helped fight off new lurkers and we all avoided the bombs while shooting them with the Yellow Eco. When I think about it, I was a little underwhelmed. Then suddenly when things were close to over, some how White Eco began to form. We had to get it but Daxter was conflicted.

" White Eco?! That could be the stuff to change me back! Or... might stop that robot. Stay fuzzy... Save the world. Choices. OK! FINE! We'll save the world. But do it quickly before I change my mind."

We all smiled at each other and grabbed the White Eco. We turned shimmery and shot at the robot. The head flew off and landed in the Dark Eco before sinking and the silo closing. Taking Gol and Maia with it. We were jumping around celebrating so much I forgot my self until after I realized I was hugging Jak. We looked into each others eyes and I could clearly see how sorry he was. I assumed he was going to pick Keira. But I guess he saw the hurt in my eyes and knew what I was thinking, but I had no idea he was going to do what he did. He kissed me. Jak. Kissed ME. Needless to say I was completely shocked and froze for a moment before I kissed him back. This felt right. I don't know why, but it did. We pulled back and smiled at each other. I felt me face heating up greatly and Jak just chuckled at me for it. He grabbed my hand and the three of us made our way onto a platform that took us up to where the Sage's and Keira were. I know she saw us kiss because she looked pissed and upset. Well too bad. After all the crap she put me through she deserves getting bit by karma. I stood to the side of the platform while Jak and Daxter did this silly victory dance. I was crying I was laughing so hard. Saimos began speaking before we even stepped off.

" Well it looks like I may have been too hard on you three. You DO have what it takes to be hero's."

Keira kneeled down to our favorite ottsel.

" But Daxter... Now we can't change you back."

" Don't worry about me baby."

Still the smooth operator huh?

" You know what they say... Big things come in small packages."

I stood beside Jak and face palmed so hard I'm sure it left a mark. The sages came up to Jak and began talking about his ability to channel Eco. I just stood there listening as the Red Sage turned to me.

" You also have a talent for it my dear."

He then turned to Keira and complimented about how we wouldn't have gotten this far without her. And I admit, he's right. With out her technical ingenuity and zoomer and stuff, we wouldn't have. He said perhaps they had found another Sage since Gol and Maia were no longer around. Saimos seemed to be pondering on the two.

" The Dark Eco... probably destroyed them. Yeh... Probably."

I didn't really want to go into that one but Daxter did.

" AH who cares. Bring 'em on. We can take 'em again right Jak?"

He looked over at us and saw that we were about to kiss again. He decided to break it up by jumping between us.

" Whoa! Put it on ICE big guy."

We just laughed and I grabbed Daxter, putting him on the ground and settled for hugging Jak instead. After breaking the hug, Jak ran over to this giant... thing. Yeah I have no clue what it is. Saimos and Keira looked interested too.

" Holy Yakcow. What could that be?"

" Wow. It's an ancient precursor door! It looks like it will only open if we fill all one hundred holes with power cells."

Daxter stepped beside me as I walked over to Jak.

" Uh, we're hero's. Remember? We HAVE... a hundred power cells."

All the power cells we had collected up to this point went into the holes and made the whole door glow just from them. It actually looked pretty cool! The doors began to creek open and we were momentarily blinded because the light from inside was so darn bright. Daxter was even impressed.

" WOW! What is it?"

I couldn't look away from it as I grabbed Jak's hand.

" It's so... beautiful."

Saimos and Keira were also mesmerized.

" By the precursors."

After lots of discussing, we brought what we found back with us. When we finally got back to Sandover Village, I realized how much I love the simpleness of the country, but I will miss the adventure. Maybe some day we can do it again. And hopefully be just as successful at not dying.
