"Die! Dark Eco freak!" a KG yelled as he fired his blaster. This particular guard was multi-talented; he could shoot and walk backwards at the same time. His partner was not so incredibly gifted.
The Baron had required groups of two to patrol the sewers in most locations. While this meant first contact with an enemy would be rougher than in groups of three or four, it also meant the sewer forces could cover more ground, and backup was closer.
The second guard flew down the pipe, sprawling a good distance away.
As the first looked back for half a second, the 'freak' shot forward, jumped off one wall, and kicked the KG's weapon out of his hands.
As the attacker pulled out his own weapon he said, "My name is Jak. Remember it." Jak cocked his gun and took aim "If you can."
BOOM!
The KG collapsed; silence was restored to the sewers.
Jak dragged the body into a runoff pipe to hide it-no need to frighten the next patrol.
He disposed of the second body in the same manner and proceeded down the sewer.
As he got to the elevator and sent it to street level, Jak pressed a detonator. He was rewarded with a pleasing, if slightly muffled, explosion. So much for that eco cache, The Baron would have to step up security a notch.
On street level, Jak continued on foot until he reached the safety vehicle, and drove it back to HQ.
"That was great! I couldn't have done it better myself." Torn said, back at the Naughty Ottsel.
"I know" Jak responded in a matter-of-fact voice.
Torn continued "Ever since the Baron came back, our fight's been even harder."
Daxter slid across the table to interject. "Yeah! I can't believe the S.O.B. survived Kor's attack." He took a swig of whiskey and went on "Why didn't he come back right away, though? Right after we thought we killed him, I mean."
Jak answered him "the man's got a good head on his shoulders, he realized that it was a bad time. He decided to wait, to heal from the attack, but also to get a group of supporters. He knew citizens would get tired of the conflict bound to occur. Tensions between KG and the Underground had been rising for a while. Also, he realized the Metal Heads would survive and retaliate. He was also sure the city would remember when he was leader, a good, happy time. As far as they knew, nothing went wrong until we took control."
Torn added " that's right. "He planned to take Ashlin's place at the top of the government and bribe or blackmail the whole council, effectively controlling that, too. Ashlin disbanding that just helped him even more. He also came out at just the right time, right near the end, so it looked like him coming back fixed everything. Even Errol's defeat appeared to be his doing. "
Daxter slammed his fist on the table "It makes me so mad, seeing him like that!"
"Well then I have something for you to take out your temper on." Torn said smugly. "The Baron has tapped into an eco pipeline, deep beneath the city. It's getting refined in the palace, you have to go in and be the monkey wrench thrown into this not-so-well oiled machine."
A short briefing ensued.
"Let's do it!" Jak and Daxter yelled together, running to the door.
They easily got through the barricades the baron had set up around the city, getting to the palace in reasonable time.
"Alright" Jak said, "according to Torn, the quickest way will be right through the front door."
The duo strolled up as if nothing was happening, planning to sneak attack the few guards on duty.
Instead, the KG took aim on Jak and Daxter, yelling "you're not gonna get away this time"
"This wasn't in the plan!" Daxter screamed half jokingly, half frightfully.
Authors note: This is my first fic ever, so try to be a little understanding, if you would! In case you couldn't tell, this is after three (with a slightly different ending) but before Jak X. See ya soon, with chapter 2!
