The Secondary Saga

[Jak Mar]

Survival... Survival of the fittest... there was those who won, and those who...lost..
I refused to be the one who lost... her..
but losing her meant I lost myself...in the process.
My name? Jan Templar. It doesn't matter now...
All you see is a broken solider, a man that was supposed to be a father.

The man who worked to try to save the solar system...

Sound the bugle now... Sound it just for me
As the seasons change remember how I used to be
Now I can't go on, I can't even start
I got nothing left , just a empty heart

I'm a solider .. wounded so I must give up the fight

There's nothing more for me,
lead me away from here or leave me lying here
Sound the bugle now.. Tell them I don't care
There's not a road that leads to anywhere


Without a light I fear that I will stumble in the dark
Lay right down - decide not to go on

Then from on high - somewhere in the distance
There's a voice that calls, "Remember who you are"
If you lose yourself - your courage soon will follow

So be strong tonight - remember who you are
Yeah you're a soldier now - fighting in a battle
To be free once more - yeah, that's worth fighting for

I remembered the good and bad times and I noticed them all flashing before my eyes.

Everyone I've met over time.

A fading smoke arrived in front of Jan and he saw his unborn child, the one with klaud he was supposed to be there to support.
Jak/ Luger: Momma, who ya talking about? Why was this guy important to ya? I never saw him before.

He saw Klaud turn away from the child quite angrily
Momma? Why you crying?

You're dad's... gone.

Klaud closed the door leaving the child just standing there, black hair and blue eyes looking at the floor wondering what to feel.
The female dug through various pictures looking for pictures of mom and dad and revealed a picture of a man named Jan... of who he used to be.

A fake picture book told the story of who I was... A picture fell out... one of me and my old crew smiling and laughing together..
My unborn daughter moved her hand and shifted as she looked at Klaud "Momma, who's these people? She bent down and said "These... are daddy's friends.. from a long time ago... Luger, Gregor and Rico and him.

The day before was painful, I stared down at Klaud and my daughter holding each other. They were standing at a sight with a unknown amount of people.

There were a mix of dead and alive folks staring at the ground, I saw the secondaries that liked and who gave a damn standing over me.

I couldn't believe I was staring at my own funeral.

My daughter was a slight to behold, not only did she look exactly like her mom, she had my eyes and both of our strength. She was a beautiful girl. She'd grow up strong like her mother... and her father.. me?

I saw more visions of the future in the mist " I looked down at myself as I found myself sinking a bit more as one small tear fell down my face. Emotions once lost came back.

Senna screamed as Klaud held her back "DADDY!"
Senna said "I want my dad!"

She fell to the ground as tears rolled down her face.

The Solumn tune of "Sound the Bugle" starts to play again.

Klaud held her daughter close, I'm sorry... I'm sorry.
Seeing the two people I knew crying made me shake, only pulling me deeper into the muck.
I shot a flash of gunfire into the air "BOOM!" "MAN DOWN!"

It was strange the past present and the future was all combined
The book blew pages showing present family walking away ones friends
Eventually klaud and my daughter were gone

All was left was a rose


Daddy... i heard one more time.


I had lost my weapon and sunk to the muck below. The soldier once meant to do great things, a hero on Vekta and to others was now a testament to those who didn't make it through the swamp.

Did Jan die in vain? Nobody would know now.
