Ch 1: The Return Home
The lights of the city were the first sign of greeting as the hellcat flew towards the palace. Warmth enveloped me as the sounds of bustling hover crafts and chatting city folk filled my long ears. I never thought that I would miss Haven City so badly, but I guess crazier things have happened to me.
Being that I was not only a sage in training but from a totally different timeline, most people would be shocked upon seeing me channel eco through my body and changing it into a totally different essence of eco. Never before had anyone had record of a sage that could completely change eco essence, let alone a female. But of all things that could be said about me, the fact that my boyfriend was the hero of Haven City, Spargus, Kras City, and the eco core was what people talked about most.
Jak was the one at the steering of the hellcat as well as my boyfriend. He once never spoke a word, being the silent hero of our own timeline from over a thousand years ago. Once we traveled far into the future, however, he was immediately captured by a corrupt leader and infused with the deadly dark eco. Of all the different types of eco, dark was the most twisted and vile essence ever created. Because he was pure when he was infused, Jak didn't die, but instead received a voice, an anger problem, and a deadly transformation that turned him into an alter-ego known and feared as Dark Jak.
"Kiera," he said as we approached the palace, still being rebuilt after the events of the big war. "Yeah, Jak?" I asked. "When we get there, I want you to find Ashlynn and Tess and get them to come to Dax's place. Okay?" "You got it!" Ashlynn and Tess were both allies from this timeline that had been by our side since the war. Ashlynn, though she was the former leader's daughter, had not near as much hatred towards the town as her father. Now the governor of Haven City, she was in charge of the reconstruction of the destroyed town and the leader of the Krimzon Guard, the police force of Haven.
Tess, on the other hand, was much different. Originally from the Underground movement against the corrupt leader known as Baron Praxis, she also helped out the war effort by making weapons and managing the gun course. After the war, however, she and the rest of us met the mysterious Precursors, who turned out to be Ottsels, exactly what Jak's best friend, Daxter, was turned into. After he wished for a pair of pants, something he hadn't worn for over three years, Tess made the mistake of wishing she had a pair just like his. The Precursor leader, taking her literally, turned her into an Ottsel as well, pants and top included. Ever since, Daxter has been her boyfriend and even stopped his attitude of trying to hit up any lady that crossed his path.
"Hey! What about me, Jak?" asked the annoying fur ball himself. Standing at only two feet tall with a smug grin and a pair of pants, Daxter was the sidekick that always tried to take the credit. Jak and I know that he bluffs, but Tess actually believes every tall tale he says, which didn't annoy us but rather made us smile. "You can go with Kiera to find them, so long as you don't go all Dark Dax on the first thing that insults you." I actually had tried to forget about that, but I had to accept the truth. While we were looking for the eco core, Daxter accidentally got dark eco dumped on him multiple times and turned him into Dark Dax, his alter-ego compared to Dark Jak.
Daxter sighed at Jak's suggestion, since he relied heavily on Jak to carry him around as well as save them from any danger. "Alright, fine!" he said finally. "But if I see one bit of Metal Heads or the like, I won't hesitate to fight back!"
