Alright so earlier this week (Independence Day week) a close friend of mine had told me of an issue they had been having and needess to say it really worried me and to ease the pressure I ended up getting this story idea. So yeah, we're going to be rewriting the entire Jak and Daxter series with Total Drama Characters. Isn't that exciting?
So I'll be doing each of the main Jak games. I may or may not be doing Combat Racing, we'll have to see, and as for the Lost Frontier? Ew. No. Never. That game dishonors the pure awesomeness that is Jak and Daxter. Daxter may or may not be done, I haven't decided yet.
When it comes to who is who I made sure to think of who would be best in each part. Deciding who would be Jak was probably the hardest part, but in the end I think I was satisfied with the choice, I made. So now, enough A/N let's get this story started!
Disclaimer: I don't own Jak and Daxter or Total Drama, if I did seasons 2 and 5 of Total Drama wouldn't have been as character destroying as they were.
Geoff and Cody: The Precursor Legacy
Chapter 1-
Cody the Gap-Toothed Ottsle
~The Precursor Legacy~
"I have spent my life searching for the answers that my father and my father's father failed to find." A gruff voice let out as a swirling pool of dark eco was shown. "Who were the Precursors? Why did they create the vast mono lifts that litter our planet? How did they harness eco: the life energy of the world? What was their purpose? And why did they vanish?"
The person sighed. "I have asked the plants, but they do not remember. The plants have asked the rocks but the rocks do not recall. Even the rocks… DO. NOT. RECALL. Gosh!"
The scene than transitioned to show the brilliant night sky with the stars splayed out over the dark canvas complete with the large white moon shone brightly above the great wide sea before them.
"Every bone in my body tells me that the answers rest on the shoulders of a young boy. Why it's not me though, I'm not sure. Curse the Precursors for not making this my destiny! Gosh, idiots!" He explained.
And with that we see a young boy, looking to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, lying on a propeller boat as if he were sleeping. He wore a blue tunic and white pants; he didn't wear shoes, instead were several inches of cloth wrapped around his feet up to his ankles; on his shoulder was a large metal shoulder guard, on his chest lied a silver ring and to top it all off he wore a large cowboy hat which shielded his eyes and had small tufts of greenish yellow hair sticking out of it.
"He is oblivious to his destiny!" The voice shouted.
Then on the boat was a boy, a bit scrawny at that, was stumbling about the boat, clearly queasy as his face was green due to his seasickness. This boy had smooth chestnut brown hair and baby blue eyes. He wore his own cream colored tunic, pants and a pair of goggles on his forehead.
"Uninterested in the search for truth!" He continued.
At this point the other boy, went and threw up off the side of the boat only to fall off the boat and into the ocean.
"And rejecting of my guidance!" He huffed.
The boy who was resting on the boat slightly tilted his hat up and opened his eyes to reveal that they were a soft ocean blue. His eyes widened when he saw that his friend wasn't on the boat. The boy then sat up and looked over the side that his friend fell off of.
The boy's friend sheepishly lifted his head out of the water.
The boy smiled as he offered his friend his hand, who gladly took it, and he helped him back onto the boat.
"And why would he want to listen to old Harold the Sage anyway?!" The voice continued to complain. "I'm only the master of green eco! One of the wisest men on the planet! Gosh! Idiots!"
The boys then laughed at the brunette's misfortune.
Harold sighed. "So it seems the answer begins not with careful research or sensible thinking… Gosh! Like many of fate's idiotic mysteries it begins with a small idiotic act of disobedience."
And with that the boat continued on its way to the ominous island that loomed out in the distance.
~The Precursor Legacy~
The two boys were then walking on an island. They walked under the giant arching spine of a large animal, most likely a t-rex.
"Hey!" The brunette quipped. He then whispered. "Geoff, old green stuff told us not to come here."
"No worries, Cody." Geoff answered, not at all concerned with things as Cody was. "Nothing bad is gonna happen, we're just explorin' the island. What could possibly go wrong?"
Damn it Geoff…
The two continued walking until they discovered a man and woman hovering in front of a large bronze colored gate, in front of them was a small army of monsters. They quickly ducked behind a rock to avoid being spotted.
The man had his white hair swooped over his right eye and had –oddly enough- dark blue colored skin. He wore a long blue coat over a simple blue t-shirt and dark blue pants.
The woman who floated along with him had her white hair in two pony tails at the sides of her head and wore copper colored armor that exposed her stomach and protected a small part of her arms below her shoulders, along with that she wore blue pants.
"Continue your search for artifacts and eco," The man started, his voice was deep and seemed to radiate evil. "If the locals possess Precursor items, you know what to do."
"Deal harshly with anybody who strays from the village." The girl continued. Oddly enough, she didn't sound all that bad. She would actually sound like the sweetest person you'd ever meet, if her –otherwise- high pitched voice wasn't so heavily distorted. "We will attack it in due time."
And with that the man and the woman vanished into a puff of dark purple energy and the monsters before them turned and went to their own individual tasks.
Geoff and Cody looked at each other from behind their hiding place with widened eyes. Attack their village? That could not be good.
Geoff quickly gestured elsewhere with his head.
'What?' Cody mouthed to his friend.
'Let's go!' Geoff shout whispered to him.
The two quickly fled into the large circular gate that the two mysterious people had just hovered in front of seconds earlier.
The two had thought they had been left in the clear, but had attracted the attention of a certain bone wielding monster who quickly followed them inside.
Cody and Geoff finally slowed down as they approached a small part of the arena that they had entered, by climbing a flight of wooden stairs. There they saw a large pool of liquid. It was black with several wisps of purple swimming along with it, it sputtered, it bubbled and it seemed to be letting out a gentle hum.
"What are we doing here anyway, Geoff?" Cody asked his friend. "This place gives me the creeps."
Geoff nodded. "I agree, at first I thought this would be cool, but now it's seriously harshing my mellow."
Cody was about to answer before he tripped over a small container.
Geoff chuckled as the boy got up.
"Huh?" Cody looked at it before sighing. "Stupid Precursor junk!"
Cody then picked up the round, cylindrical container, made of a slightly duller version of the copper like metal that had been seen throughout the land. He dusted it off and blew on it to make sure it was clean. That's when he noticed the pool of the dark substance next to them.
"Ew…" Cody recoiled in disgust. "What is that dark ooze?"
Cody then threw the artifact at Geoff. "The sage yaps on about the Precursors who built this place all the time…" Cody droned, he then went on to imitating Harold. "'Where did they did the go?' 'Why did they build this crap?'"
The artifact that Cody had thrown at Geoff began blinking and glowing red in Jak's hands. "Cody…?" Geoff asked as he looked down at the artifact reacting to his mere touch.
"Now, I like Precursor Orbs and Power Cells as much as the next guy," Cody continued, ignoring Geoff's call.
"Dude, this is crazy…" He tried to get his gap-toothed friend's attention.
"But if you ask me, these guys must have been real losers…" Cody smirked.
"Dude!" Geoff shouted.
"What?" Cody asked turning to Geoff and he looked wide eyed at the artifact in his hands. "Woah?! How'd you get it to do that?"
"I have no idea…" Geoff answered as he still looked down on the blinking artifact in disbelief.
Just then the same monster that had been suspicious of Geoff and Cody's presence landed in front of them with a thud.
Cody quickly ran behind Geoff in fear. "Geoff, I think we're in trouble!"
Geoff gulped as the monster swung it's bone, that it used as a sword, wildly, clearly pleased with the two kills that he'll get within a few seconds.
Geoff then looked down at the flashing red artifact and that's when he figured out what this thing was.
Using this newfound knowledge Geoff stepped up to the monster while Cody still cowered behind in fear. Geoff then threw the artifact causing it to explode.
"Yes!" Geoff shouted, before he was knocked back by the blast of the bomb.
As he was knocked back the unthinkable happened. Geoff stumbled backwards into none other than Cody which sent him into the 'dark ooze' behind them. He fell with a surprised yelp.
"Cody?" Geoff asked as he looked into the pool of the dark substance. "Come on dude, you can come out now… Man… Bridge and Harold are gonna kill me…"
Suddenly out of the pool appeared a small ball of orange fur. It turned out to be a small furry animal with a tail.
Geoff turned to it and looked confused.
"Man, that stung!" The creature shouted in what happened to be the same voice as Cody.
Geoff's eyes widened in realization at this.
"I told you that we shouldn't have come here!" Cody shouted, that's when he took in the perplexed expression on Geoff's face. "What?"
"Uh Cody…" Geoff started, not quite sure how to explain.
That's when he noticed his furry orange arm. His eye twitched as he looked down at it. Both Cody and Geoff screamed at the boy's transformation.
Once the two were done screaming Cody sighed. "Okay, I'm fine. I'm fine…"
Cody then looked down and that's when he saw his tail.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Cody screamed once again as he hopped onto Geoff's face.
Geoff screamed as well due to the closeness of his newly transformed friend.
~The Precursor Legacy~
After a long bout of rather girlish screaming from both Cody and Geoff the two hightailed it out of the mysterious island and went back to Sandover Village. They both went straight back to the green sage's hut.
They found the sage who was working on some sort of concoction involving green eco.
With just one step that Cody made the wood of the hut creaked and immediately alerted the green sage.
"What the hell do you two want?" The lanky man asked the two.
He turned and that showed the man, with green tinted skin and red –although slightly graying- hair, he wore wire frame glasses and wore a long flowing green robe and oddly enough had a large log on top of his head. He also had a short beard around his neck. Along with all that he held a wooden staff.
"We were, they were, I- I were…" Cody stammered.
"Don't tell me," Harold scoffed as he hovered over to them which revealed the two logs that he used as shoes. "Instead of heading my wisdom the two of you went fucking around in the only place I told you two idiots not to go: Misty Island!"
"That's right." Cody confirmed. "And then-"
"And gosh Cody," He growled. "You finally took a bath, but in a bathtub filled with dark eco!"
Cody glared at the sage. "Look Harold, are you gonna keep talking or are you gonna help me out of this mess!?"
"I'm gonna keep talking!" Harold growled. "Because in my professional opinion, this is an improvement! It truly expresses how much of an idiot you really are!"
He then looked down at Cody in thought before sighing. "Besides, I couldn't help you if I wanted to!"
"What?!" Cody gasped.
Harold rolled his eyes. "You'd know that if you paid attention in the lessons I gave you, gosh! If you weren't such an idiot you'd know that since this is a dark eco related accident I can't do anything, gosh! I am the green eco sage, I can't do anything about a dark eco accident!"
"Great…" Cody sighed.
"However there is one person who can help you," Harold thought. "Mike Day: the sage, he's the only one who's studied dark eco long enough to revert you to your previous form, even if he is an idiot. The only problem is that he lives to the north, far, far to the north. Nobody has talked to him in years. I would teleport you there, but gosh! I just can't do that! None of the other idiotic sages have bothered to turn on their ends of the teleporter gates in ages."
Harold continued. "The only other way is by foot through Fire Canyon. But you'd only go there if you were an idiot! The volcanic soil there is hot enough to melt precursor metal. You can't just walk through it, gosh!"
"But you could fly over it!" A voice suggested.
Everyone turned to see a new person walked into the room. She strutted across the room and made the heads of both Geoff and Cody turn. She had her blond hair tied back into a pony tail and emerald green eyes. She wore a baby blue tube top and khaki pants.
Cody attempted to flex to get her attention but she didn't even notice his presence.
"If you had a Zoomer equipped with a heat shield, I just happen to be working on such at this very moment." The girl explained. "All I would need is seventeen Power Cells to give it enough energy to withstand the canyon's heat. Isn't that right, dad?"
Harold who was the girl's father sighed. "Yes Bridgette, that could work. But where are a boy and a half," He clonked Cody on the top of his head with his staff making the ottsle growl. "Going to find twenty Power Cells?"
"From the villagers!" Bridgette chirped. "Most of them have a power cell or two stashed away somewhere! And even if they aren't willing to just give them away, paying them off with a few Precursor Orbs should do the trick."
She then walked towards the door of the hut and gestured towards the lush, green world before them. "And I bet there are even more of them out in the wilds waiting for some brave adventurer to find them."
She made sure to strut towards Geoff and flutter her eyebrows at him causing him to blush.
"Well we've got the brave adventurer part right here!" Cody smirked, pointing at himself.
"Brave adventurer?" Harold asked. "Gosh! You two wouldn't even be able to find your way out of the village without training! Curse your inability to effectively get Power Cells without proper help! Gosh! But lucky for you I have the perfect place for you two train. Before you two do anything else, you better go through the warp gate and get some practice on Geyser Rock!"
"I hope we don't find anymore of that dark, gooey eco stuff will we?" Cody asked. "Because I'd hate to fall in and turn into you!"
"Get in there!" Harold shouted. "Before I use my colorful eco powers to turn you both into ferns!"
He held up his hands which were glowing with colorful, green power. He then winked towards no one in particular and smirked. "Taste the rainbow, experience the rainbow, bitch!"
"What…" Geoff asked.
"Just get in there!" Harold shouted pointing his hands towards the two of them.
Geoff shrugged and jumped into the teleport gate.
"Do I have to?" Cody asked.
Harold responded by zapping the ground next to him this caused grass to sprout next to where Cody stood.
"Alright, alright I'm going!" Cody shouted before running into the teleport gate.
And that's chapter one, I'm really liking how this turned out. This is great! I hope you enjoyed it. I had decided to make Geoff/Jak talk because it would be OOC for anyone other than B and maybe Gwen to talk.
Now on every chapter I'm gonna say why I chose each character to play each part and who almost got each part.
Geoff as Jak: I chose this because, I feel like he would be the best option for Jak. Especially in this one, Jak 3 and Combat Racing which I may or may not do. I think Geoff makes a nice Jak. Now the other characters that almost got the part were Tyler, Cody and Mike. Tyler is too much of a fail, so that went out the window. Cody was too much of a wimp to be Jak so that was a no. And then Mike was a good idea because of his MPD and it would make a lot of sense with both dark and light Jak in 2 and 3, but then I remembered how I hated Mike in All Stars and there was no way I was going to defile Jak and his greatness with that shitty character.
Cody as Daxter: Cody just seemed like a good choice because he's the most Daxterish of the cast. I altered some of his line to make it more like Cody though, think I did a good job with it. As for who almost got the part it was DJ. That's because DJ was Geoff's best friend in Total Drama Island (y'know before they completely ditched that all together in later seasons) which means because of that relationship it would've made a good choice.
Harold as Samos: This was last minute. As I was writing this I actually had someone else as Samos but then it sounded more like Harold so I'm like okay, I'll change it. This was during his monologue in the beginning. The ones who almost made the cut for Samos were DJ and Cameron. DJ, felt like a good idea because, he'd be a good green eco sage and it would seem like his thing but he wasn't mean enough to be Samos. Cameron was the guy who was originally there but then got switched to the character I made Harold (who doesn't appear till Jak 2) so yeah. They got switched and it worked out well. So if you want you can guess who Cameron'll end up being.
Bridgette as Keira: I really only put her here because her romance with Geoff. The other Kiera's don't matter enough to put here but you can probably guess by who my other Jak's were.
Mike as Gol: I'll get more into this later…
I won't mention the other one because she wasn't properly introduced.
So until next time guys!
