A/N. So I recently rewatched the Black Lagoon anime and also decided to them play Jak and Daxter and a thought came to me. What would it be like if some of the Black Lagoon characters managed to get into the Jak and Daxter universe. So that is how this story idea came to mind. I hope this is a good enough idea for both Jak and Daxter fans and Black Lagoon fans. So, as I always say before writing the story to any story, to the story.
Chapter 1: Fuck This Shit
Revy and Rock were on the deck of the Black Lagoon, having a few drinks and smoking cigarettes. For once, they were having some down time after all that has happened over the past year. That is when, it happened.
"Hey, Revy. It is so peaceful today. It is amazing that you haven't decided to shoot something" Rock quietly commented as a small breeze blew across the bloat's deck.
"You got that right. Although, I still want to shoot something, anything" Revy replied, smiling at the thought of something bleeding out from bullet holes inside its body from her Cutlass.
"Hey, you two. Dutch wants you two" the two heard Benny call.
"And now the peacefulness is gone" Rock sighed as he climbed down to where Dutch was steering the boat.
"What is it Dutch" Revy asked the employer of the Lagoon Company.
"It seems like someone has called for a small group of criminals to meet at the Yellow Flag. We are among this guy's guest" Dutch answered as the Lagoon Company saw the crooked city of Roanapur in the distance.
"Any idea who this guy is called" Benny asked.
"It actually wasn't the person hosting this who called but the guy that did call referred to his boss as 'Her'. He said that no matter what, we are not to speak a word about this to anyone. He and his boss will be there, as long as they don't run into trouble" Dutch answered as he remembered the conversation with the inviting party.
"What did he say his name was" Rock asked his boss.
"Yeah. People who he is friends with or he trusts call him 'Headshot'. I don't intend to know why he is called 'Headshot'. So that means you need not to piss him off, Revy" Dutch answered.
"Yeah, yeah" Revy replied, clearly trying not to explode at Dutch.
"So... Who is going to be there" Rock asked.
"Let's see. Benny's friend, Jane, that crazy bitch, Roberta, Eda, Balalaika, Mister Chang, Shenhua, us and the two gathering this up. Sounds like whatever they want will require a lot of fire power and brains" Dutch answered as he adjusted his sunglasses.
"Sounds like fun. Me and Chinglish can finish what we started" Revy laughed.
"You worry me" Rock sighed.
"One more thing, he said to pack a few bags of clothes, we are going to be away for a while" Dutch added as he docked the Black Lagoon.
A few hours later and a few bags packed with clothes and weapons, the Lagoon Company were drinking in the Yellow Flag bar. Soon they were joined by their fellow hired guns and brains.
"Ahh, dumbass, you staying out trouble" Shenhua teased Rock.
"Chinglish, being a bitch like usual" Revy laughed.
"Seems bitch wants to fight. Okay, I will fight" Shenhua shot back.
"Why you bitch" Revy screamed before someone fired their gun.
The whole hired group turned to see a man wearing a hood and some sort of close fitting mask. He was holding a sniper rifle in his right hand and on his left shoulder he had the skull of some kind of animal. He wore a trench coat, black military pants, a camo shirt and black combat boots. Behind him was a woman with a similar outfit, minus the hood and mask. Her eyes were a strong violet colour. Her hair was black but with a yellow stripe going down her left bang. Her hair was mostly tied back in a ponytail. In her left hand was a small, unrecognisable firearm. This was everyone noticed that the duo's weapons were glowing. The sniper rifle was glowing yellow. The hand gun was glowing crimson red.
"Calm down will you. Whatever beef you have with each other, you need to put aside" the man growled.
"You must be 'Headshot' and 'Her'" Dutch asked.
"Yes, and I don't intend to be willing to use our weapons in this fine establishment" the man answered before giving the woman a nod. "You tell them, 'Her'."
"As you say, 'Headshot'. We have asked for your skills for this very special mission. I am 'Her'. This is my employee, 'Headshot'. Our allies are having extreme trouble with a group simply known as the Metal Heads. So, we thought it best to collect the best gunman and woman and the biggest brains in the criminal underworld who would prove to be the best. This is a once in a life time opportunity. I do promise a big pay. So, are you in" 'Her' asked with a slight grin.
"What makes you think we will work for you" Balalaika asked.
"Yeah, what makes you think we work for you" Shenhua agreed with the Hotel Moscow leader.
"You each get a million US dollars each for helping" 'Headshot' replied.
"I'm sorry, did you just say a million US dollars? You got to be joking. As if you have that much" Revy laughed before realising that the man and woman were smiling.
"You know, for a dual-wielding master, you sure are stupid to not believe us" 'Headshot' laughed.
"Prove it and we will join" Dutch demanded.
"I know Daxter would love him. 'Her', would you kindly get our proof" 'Headshot' asked.
"Here you go" 'Her' smiled as she placed a briefcase on the table they were gathered around.
She opened it to reveal rows and rows of US hundred dollar bills. However, Jane was not convinced. She demanded that she checked to see if the money was valid and that the total was correct. To her surprise, all the money was valid and the total was two million extra.
"Well, shit. You seem like you can get around anything. When do we leave" Jane grinned as she went through all the things she could buy with the money she was being paid with.
"Tomorrow. Lagoon Company, I believe you have a means of transport for us" 'Her' answered before turning her attention to the Lagoon Company.
"Yeah. Meet us at the docks. I believe you all know where" Dutch replied.
"Meet ya losers there" Eda laughed.
Soon everyone left to prepare for the little job. For something that seemed like nothing, they were surely getting paid a lot. Even Revy thought it was excessive. Soon, only 'Headshot' and 'Her' were left in the bar.
"I hope Jak and Dax don't us bringing these guys. They are going to be pissed when they find out how much these guys are better then them with everything" 'Headshot' laughed as he removed the bottom half of his mask.
"The more the merrier. Anyway, not like any Metal Heads are going to attack us in this world" 'Her' chuckled in response.
"Well, you go and speak with our pointed eared friends and I will meet you in Haven City tomorrow" 'Headshot' grinned from underneath his mask.
"Goodbye, darling" 'Her' seductively whispered in 'Headshot's' ear.
"Goodbye" laughed 'Headshot' as he scold the drink he ordered.
~Naughty Ottsel - Haven City~
Jak and Daxter waited outside the Naughty Ottsel with Torn, Sig, Kiera, Somos, Ashelin, Pecker and Onin. They were waiting for either 'Her' or 'Headshot'. They met the duo, once or twice before. But they never saw their faces. Finally, 'Her' arrived in a small, one person Zoomer.
"About time. What took you so long" Daxter overreacted to the lateness of the capable woman.
"Shut up you hair ball. You try going to a a crime filled city to hire some capable allies. Do you seriously think we weren't going to be on time considering the multiple crime syndicates" 'Her' snapped at the ottsel.
"Piss off" Daxter spat.
"Ignore him. Do you have our little help's names" Jak asked.
"Yeah. They go by some unique names. Your allies that me and 'Headshot' have hired go by the names, 'Two hands' Revy, 'Greenback' Jane, Rock, Dutch, Benny, Sister Eda, a military captain by the name of Balalaika, Roberta, Mister Chang and a woman by the name Shenhua but is called Chinglish by Revy. Now, treat them with respect when they get here tomorrow. You do not want to piss a few key members off" 'Her' answered before walking into the bar.
"Seems like you have stiff competition Jak. I wonder what they are like when you piss them off" Daxter joked before finding Jak's fist in his face.
"Shut up, Dax. We don't even know who these guys are. So we don't know what they are like in battle. Now, let's get some sleep. I'm exhausted from that fight with the Metalpede today" Jak yawned as he entered the bar.
"Alright, you all get free accomodation for tonight at my place" Dax informed his friends. "Except for Pecker."
"Shut up you orange hair ball" Pecker scowled at Daxter.
"Ya know I was only joking" Daxter waved off Pecker's insult.
"I wonder how some off them got their names" Torn asked as he and the others entered the bar.
~Next Morning - Roanapur~
"Where the fuck is that cunt and his bitch of a boss" Revy whined as everyone, plus Balalaika's second in command, waited for the hiring party.
"Shut up Revy. You're pissing everyone off" Balalakia snapped.
"If you weren't so corrupted, miss Revy, maybe you would have more patience for me" came 'Headshot's' voice.
"Where is your friend" Dutch asked.
"She will be waiting at the city's local bar of where we are going" the man shrugged.
"This bar, the alcohol any good" Revy asked, eager for some booze.
"In my opinion, yes. Even if the bar is run by a hair ball. Now, let's move out. Torn will be kill me if we are late. After Jak, Daxter and 'Her' get to me" 'Headshot' ordered, shuddering at what his friends would do.
"Everyone, get aboard" Dutch called.
"Seems like we are getting a extra helper. Good" the man laughed as he jumped onto the Black Lagoon after Boris.
"You are really starting to piss me off more then Chinglish" Revy glared at the man.
"I'm happy to headshot you but that would mean a capable gunwoman won't be helping" 'Headshot' laughed before disappearing below deck.
"He very annoying. Let's kick him off" Shenhua agreed.
"Thanks Chinglish, now shut up" Revy snapped.
"Where is it we are going" Dutch asked 'Headshot', who had just took a can of beer outta the boat's mini fridge.
"The place is called Haven City. I am the only one aboard who can direct us there so, if you don't mind. Once we can out to sea, could I take control of the boat" 'Headshot' replied with a tint of annoyance in his voice.
"You got a deal but I remain in here so I can memorise the route" Dutch demanded.
"Deal" 'Headshot' grinned, clearly happy with the deal.
It wasn't long until the Black Lagoon left the bay. So, as the deal had said, Dutch switched out 'Headshot' for who stood and who steered.
"This is different to what I'm use to but then again, you will see why soon enough" 'Headshot' laughed.
"Shut up and just get us there" Dutch demanded.
"This is very out of character for you. Is it because you have to have someone else commandeer your vessel" 'Headshot' cheekily insulted.
"Just, get us to your city" Dutch ordered.
"Precursors, open the rift gate in a few hours at you know where" 'Headshot' calmly spoke into a headset underneath his hood.
"You got it. You bringing who you hired to help with the Metal Head problem" came a male voice from the opposite end.
"Yeah, matter of fact, one is in the room with me" 'Headshot' laughed into his headset.
"Say hello from us to him... Hang on, this isn't good. A Metal Head is in your waters. Take care of it" the man on the opposite end shouted.
"Oh shit" 'Headshot' gasped before a black and silver, armoured tentacle rose from the water, followed by the rest of the monster.
"What the fuck is that thing" Dutch barked as he loaded his guns.
"I wish you guys luck" 'Headshot' called as he sped away from the creature.
"'Headshot', you will not defeat the Hora-Quan" came a booming voice.
"Oh shut the fuck up" 'Headshot' snapped. "Dutch get back here. I'm dealing with it myself."
"Gladly" Dutch agreed as he returned.
"What is that thing" Revy screamed as she opened fire on the monster.
"Metal Flek" scowled 'Headshot'.
"My bullets are doing jack shit" Eda cried.
"That's why I use this" 'Headshot' snarled as he took aim with his sniper rifle.
"How is that going to fucking work" Revy screamed.
"This is how" grinned the sniper before he opened fire.
A stream of yellow light zoomed towards the monster following the Black Lagoon. Everyone watched in awe as the yellow stream of light crashed into the glowing, yellow forehead of the monster. The monster screamed in agony before exploding into a brilliant burst of dark purple light.
"Better get the skull gem" grinned the sniper before throwing a rope at the spot the creature once swam.
"Skull... Gem" Revy asked as the sniper pulled a faintly glowing, yellow gem from the water.
"Worth a lot on the black market. Can be traded for weapon upgrades" 'Headshot' grinned as he placed the gem in a small bag at his hip.
"You tell me exactly what the fuck that thing was or I will kick you off my boat" Dutch snapped as everyone met on the deck.
"That is a Metal Head commander. He went by the name Metal Flek. I have wanted revenge on him ever since he killed my mother and father when I was eight years old" 'Headshot' honestly answered before a bright blue circle of light burst in front of the Black Lagoon. "About fucking time. You know, the Precursors are incredibly convenient timers."
"What are you" Revy snapped.
"You will see. Now, calm down and let us go through the rift gate before it closes" 'Headshot' calmly ordered.
"It's for the money. It's for the money" Dutch whispered to himself. "Alright, but if we deal with anything like that again, you're a deadman."
"No promises there" 'Headshot' calmly informed the well built man.
Soon Dutch sailed the Black Lagoon into the rift gate. As they entered, the rift gate shut behind them. The group stared around the ocean and didn't see much until 'Headshot' fired a flare into the air and soon an airship of some kind was hovering above the Black Lagoon. The back of the airship opened to reveal four pointy eared men in bluish armour. In the centre of them was a black pointy eared man, a little more built then Dutch in greyish silver armour and in his hand was a staff of some kind. Behind him and the men in bluish armour was a purple, yellow eyed, furry ape like creature in it's own version of the men in blue's armour.
"Sig, Freedom League fighters, Brutter, I trust you are here to carry us back to Spargas or Haven City. I sincerely hope you allow us to bring this boat with us" the sniper cheered.
"You're a little early" the black man grinned.
"Metal Head squid attacked us. Now, please airlift this boat to Haven City or Spargas" 'Headshot' answered.
"We'll be oblige to do so" the creature nodded before the Black Lagoon was attached to the airship by some ropes.
"I recommend you get aboard" the black man suggested.
"Make room" 'Headshot laughed before collecting the men and women he and 'Her' hired from below deck.
At first, none of them spoke to each other. The pointy eared men and the creature spoke separately from the none pointy eared people. It finally took the sniper to get either side to speak to each other.
"For the sake of the Precursors, speak to each other" 'Headshot' snapped.
"Kinda hard to speak to elves when you have no idea who they are" Revy shot at the sniper.
"She has a point. Matter of fact, why are we even speaking to you? We don't even know what your face looks like" the black man agreed.
"Good point. But my face is not yet time to reveal. Now, Sig, Revy, please talk about something. Maybe you both should talk about guns. You both like guns" 'Headshot' spoke in a tone that revealed that he was about to snap.
"I'm sure she doesn't know anything about guns" scoffed the black man.
"Same here. I'm not sure he knows anything" Revy laughed.
"Why did I even suggest this" the sniper sighed.
"Sir, we got Haven City in sight. Preparing to land" the pilot called back over the sound of Sig and Revy arguing.
"Land this. We got a duel" Sig replied as he and Revy circled each other.
"Why don't you just bare knuckle box each other before you decide to shoot the shit out of Haven" the creature suggested.
"I like you Brutter" Balalaika smiled at the creature.
"Thank you miss" Brutter bowed.
"Governer Ashelin and Jak are calling us. Should we answer" the pilot called.
"Tell them we are about to land" 'Headshot' answered for Sig.
"Who do you think is going to win in a boxing match" Rock asked one of the men in blue.
"I will have to say Sig. I don't know anything about you lot so I can't really bet on your chick" the man replied.
"Valid point" Rock agreed. "I'm going with Revy."
"We have landed. Opening ramp" the pilot called.
As soon as the ramp fully opened, Revy tackled Sig onto the concrete pavement below. The two soon started to trade blows. Everyone inside the airship shook their heads with small smiles on their faces as they walked pass the fighting pair.
"What is going on" came a rough male voice.
"Fight between Sig and one of the guys recently hired by 'Her' and 'Headshot'" Brutter informed.
"For the love of the Precursors. Break it up" the man ordered before seeing Sig and Revy out cold.
"Get Jak" 'Headshot' ordered. "He will need to speak with these guys personally."
"Or we can bring them to the Naughty Ottsel" the man snarled at the sniper.
"Daxter plus women in short shorts will equal him flirting with her" 'Headshot' responded.
"Tess remember" the man argued.
"Oh right. Forgot about her. Sorry Torn" 'Headshot' mentally slapped himself for forgetting Daxter's girlfriend.
"Follow me, ya short eared freaks" grumbled Torn as he walked away.
"Just so you know, I don't appreciate being called a short eared freak, you elf" Balalaika glared.
"I've been called worst" was Torn's only reply.
The group of hired men and women followed Torn to a bar with a odd looking orange otter, weasel hybrid. As they entered they were a bit shocked with what was inside.
A/N. This is my longest debut chapter for any story, to date. This is a achievement for me. Yes, I know there are longer debut chapters for other stories but let me relish in the success of this length of chapter. Bye.
