-AUTHOR'S NOTES-
Yes, yes, I'm still pretty much in the novel conversions department right now. Might as well move onto this fanfic in particular.
To give you a brief look into the storyline, this basically shows an event that happens between Jak II and Jak 3, when a new army of Metal Heads start to rise from the ashes of those already lost. Add to that Jak finds a friend in Hikaru, a stranger to Haven City, and we are lead into a large adventure for everyone's favorite elfish humanoid to layer his hands on. :P
Before you even think of criticizing about the "wrong characteristics" given for Erol, due to his comeback in Jak 3… may I remind you that I wrote the fanfic LONG BEFORE HIS RETURN'S ANNOUNCEMENT? Don't panic – maybe I could write a little story segment which can help to tie this fanfic with the incoming game… in the future, somewhere.
I also decided to get rid of all the part summaries, ever since I know they'd shatter the storyline and break any suspense that way.
As it is, I hope you like what I've put down, in the old format or otherwise.
Peace out,
-Rexy-
"The Metal Heads were gone, the War was won, and I have managed to find his home within Haven City, getting to love everyone and everything inside there.
After learning about my role as the Heir of Mar, this has left me to think about what my life might have been like at the time of my own parents, whomever they were.
And how did the late Baron Praxis push himself onto the throne anyway? What became of my timeline from there?
If only if I can find those answers from somewhere, then maybe I can-""JAK!!!"
The visions soon blanked out, leaving a pair of blue eyes to open up and look around the room. The Naughty Ottsel bar was seen with various civilians dancing with one another, or drinking alcohol at the bar. The figure stood up, showing him as a male with long blonde hair that went down his back gracefully, a yellow-green goatee on his chin, and a set of blue clothing. He looked on in front of him, seeing a weasel-otter creature with orange and yellow fur, a set of binoculars on his head and a pair of brown fingerless gloves.
"Sorry Daxter. Never knew you'd sneak up behind me like-"
"Never mind that!" Daxter brawled towards him. "I haven't seen you dance all the way throughout the celebrations! Besides, Keira's dying to do the Can-Can."
He pointed towards the other side of the room, where a female with black-green hair was seen waving on at him with a smile on her face. Jak, being the yellow haired male, twitched his eyes at the sight of her.
"MOVE IT!!!"
In an instant, Daxter pushed him towards her, leaving him to blush as he came closer. While that happened, the ottsel started making his way towards the bar, picked up a purple glass container and started drinking the contents out from it.
Outside the city, a cold breeze started to blow across the wastelands that surrounded it. The trees were seen blowing vigorously through the winds, and a few bones and pieces of rubble started to roll around the dusty ground along there.
-A FAN FICTION PRODUCTION-
Along the dusty path, a shadow started walking towards the city. It was shown with long hair, and a feminine approach to it. It brought itself up a tree, looking on at the city straight on at it.
"What is this place?"
She gave off a sigh, and started climbing down it, before landing safely on both feet again. She started to run down the path again, climbing down rocks, going through bushes, and kicking bones as she walked.
A fanfic by RexRockShe scaled up another rock, coming closer towards the city walls. And it was at the top of the rock where she saw an old wooden sign sticking out of the ground. She brought her eyes to it, and read the writing on there-
"Welcome to Haven City – a safe paradise for all!"She gave out a blink at the sight of it, before bringing out one of her hands, and using it to scratch a part of the sign, before breaking it into two. She left that alone, and started walking further.
JAK AND DAXTER
in…
She soon saw herself face to face with the city walls – it was there that she gasped at the sight of its structure, before taking a step back and looking on at the tall buildings of the city that was contained inside it.
FORCES OF LIFE ™Each of the buildings, from the smallest house in the slums to the tall majesty of the Palace, caused her eyes to shrink with wonder at the sight of them. She then took a cautious step back, trying to maintain her expressions.
"This Haven place… is this where my answers lie?"
She started making her way towards a door leading into the city – after a long wait, the door opened for her, and she stepped inside, ready to take a look inside the settlement… her eyes still widened.
But as she stepped in, one of the bones kicked from earlier continued to roll down the path, and tap a glowing silver object, with a yellow gem fused in inside it. The collision caused the bone to instantly stop.
And then, the egg started to shake every few seconds. With every rumble, a deep growl was heard within the air, making the egg start to react much faster, ready to release the being inside it into the world.
The water slums of the city showed still looking floorboards, light shimmering waters, and the shrieks of civilians nearby as they ran across the boards onto the tarmac of the city towards the south.
"Help! Someone, save us from this dark monster!"
"She's going to eat my soul, I just know it!"
"Keep away from me!"
One by one they went onto the tarmac, leaving few figures remaining on the boards. One of them was shown as the female from outside the city walls – she was now shown with purple skin, long white hair, black and blue clothing around her, deep red eyes, and a bite in her left ear. She came towards one of the remaining civilians, and raised her hand at the sight of him.
"Excuse me sir, but…" she started speaking, "can you please tell me where I can-"
"AAAAAAGH, VAMPIRE!!!!!" he shouted before the girl could finish.
He shrieked at the sight of her, and started running away from her. With a gasp, she started to run and chase him, eventually leading him onto the tarmac on the other side. Her hair started to shake in a slapdash motion as she came closer towards the gravel.
"Please, come back! I'm not what you think I a-"
As soon as she got there, the man and most of the remaining civilians ran down the road, and either hid themselves in their huts, went around a corner to another part of the city, or mounted on hovering vehicles and left the area. She looked down with a grim look on her face.
"There's no point trying to find company around here. There's no one willing to help me on this."
With her head still hanging low, she started making her way back towards the city exit, with the floorboards creaking under her, and the sounds of the water underneath her feet simmering as time went by. But… her eyes soon widened at the sight of a glowing white light in front of her. She brought her head up.
"What… what was that?"
"Enter the chambers, my child", said a deep voice.
Right in front of her was a hut with a glowing white and purple essence. She went inside it, and was instantly greeted by shelf upon shelf filled with scented candles, a blue rug rolled onto the floor, and a bronze-copper statue showing a face upon it.
"Greetings, young vampire", said the voice, coming from the statue. "I see that you have managed to return to Haven City after all these years."
"What are you on about?" she asked. "All I wanted to do was try to blend in with other people here, but… they're scared of the way I brought myself up."
"There is no need to worry about what happened to you. I, the ancient Oracle, has understood your problems right from the very beginning."
She looked on at the eyes of the statue with a pair of simmering eyes, before getting down onto one of her knees, and crouching down in front of it. Her hair started to go over her hair as she performed the action, with the candle light creating a long shadow behind her.
"Mr Oracle, sir, if it's possible, can you help me blend in within this city? I need help. They mistake me for a vampire!"
"It seems that you brought yourself up like that for a purpose. Somewhere in the city, your answer will lie, young girl."
"My name's Hikaru. I'm not the sweet 'girl' you think you are, mister.
She sighed, and dipped her head down towards the ground, with her hair starting to cover more of her face. But then, a white flash showed up in front of her, causing her to look on at the statue, which started to get covered with a bright silver glow around it.
"Trust me Hikaru, a long journey has been awaiting you from the beginning", he said. "I have seen in my past that you were abandoned as a baby due to your appearances. But what they didn't see was the gift that you were given inside you. I don't know anything more about this, but if you find as many clues as possible, we can work out this puzzle together."
All that Hikaru could do was blink, before bringing her head down and looking at her own two hands, grubbily placed upon the carpet. The memories of the citizens' reactions to her continued to flow through her mind, before she clutched her fists tightly and brought her head up with a semi-angry look on her.
"Okay, Oracle – you may have misunderstood me in some of the slightest sense. I don't call this thing a gift, I think it's a CURSE, for cryin' out loud!"
"Be brave, young girl…"
A hint of white light started to simmer around her, and as soon as it faded out, she was seen onto the tarmac of the city, 200 metres away from the water slums. She brought herself up from the dusty ground, and started walking down a road to the left.
And so her journey has begun. Where the road will take her, no one may know for hours to come.
