Through Another's Eyes: Book Three
Chapter Two: The Power of Light
Why is it so… bright? Was the first thought that drifted through Teras mind the next morning, the girl slowly waking up. Pale eyes slitted open, lips drawing down in a confused frown. The sun had never been this bright in Haven…
Oh… her mind finally dispelled the remnants of sleep, remembering where she was, we're not in Haven anymore… that's why. Tera pushed herself up, stretching with a yawn. She hadn't slept so well in years… not since first arriving in Haven. The metallic city never gave her any sense of 'home'; it was too different. But this place… it reminded her a lot of Sandover…
Tera glanced at the other bed, lips twitching. The guys were still asleep, Jak sprawled out on his back with Daxter laying near the end of the bed. It was good to see him sleeping so soundly; Jak had never really been able to relax in Haven, either. It held to many bad memories now…
She slid out of bed quietly, going to the small window of the room and looking out. The flat they had been given was right on the beach front, and the perfect size for the three friends. They didn't need much, after all. Blue eyes moved around the area, looking over every detail from the rocks, the trees, the fruit stands, the people… even though the Wastelanders seemed fairly rough, it was like a true community… not like the people of Haven, who even after the wars were still closed off and solitary…
A groan behind her alerted Tera to the fact that Jak was awake, the girl turning as he sat up, gaze locked on her.
"Morning," she grinned.
"Morning," Jak gave a yawn, "How long have you been awake, Ter?"
"Not long."
"You could have woken me up."
Tera shook her head, "You haven't slept well in ages. I thought I'd wait till you woke up on your own."
Jaks lips twitched, "Thanks," he swung his legs over the edge, shaking Daxter lightly to rouse the ottsel, "I almost forgot where we were…"
"Me to," Tera glanced back out the window, "We should probably look around some more, get to know the city- layout a bit better. It'd be good if we didn't have to rely on a map so much…"
"Good point," Jak stood, stretching and pulling on his goggles. Daxter sleepily jumped back onto the male's shoulder, still in the process of waking up. The group headed out, walking along the beach. Jak's eyes swept over the area, narrowing when he spotted a certain Precursor Monk standing not to far off. He turned, heading towards her, Tera trailing behind him. He had a bone to pick with her…
The monk patted the nose of the Leaper Lizard she was standing next to, frowning when they approached her, "You are still here?"
"Yeah, we thought we'd hang out," Jak grinned, "Catch some rays…"
"This isn't a game!" the monk hissed, causing the group to glance at each other. She calmed herself, "I am Seem. We monks are sworn to discover and protect the secrets of the Precursors," she motioned to the Lizard, "These Leaper mounts allow us to travel where you cannot."
"Man those babies sure stuff their faces!" Daxter hopped down from Jaks shoulder, approaching the Leaper, "We saw one gulp a load of kanga-rats not too long ago," he turned back to the others, "Stupid rats, they just sat-" Daxter cut himself off with a shout when the Leaper suddenly snatched him up, Jak and Tera jumping in surprise but stopped by Seem when she began to talk again.
"You will never last out here," her eyes narrowed, "That Dark Eco crystal from the satellite… I want it before it falls into the wrong hands. I'll wage a Light Crystal against it, if you race my monks on their leapers," she turned, putting a hand up towards the Leaper, "Sien-com-tava!" the Lizard dropped the ottsel, "Baroosh baroosh…"
Daxter pushed himself up, grimacing at the fact that he was now covered in saliva, "Just show us where the starting line is!"
The ottsel wiped himself off before hopping back onto Jak's shoulder, grumbling under his breath about Leaper Lizards. The blonde just rolled his eyes, taking the reigns of the Leaper and glancing back at Tera, "Staying here this time?"
The girl nodded, "It's easier to race with one person on the Leaper. I'll wait here with Seem."
Jak nodded, jumping onto the Leapers back and lining up with the monks, the group taking off once the first ring appeared.
"Come," Seem motioned ahead of them, "Let us wait at the finish line."
Tera simply nodded, following along after the monk. They were silent as they walked, the blonde occasionally glancing at Seem. She couldn't help but wonder why she was hostile to Jak… mainly because of his dark powers, she knew, but it wasn't as though he couldn't keep control anymore…
"I sense a different aura about you," Tera blinked when Seem spoke, surprised, "I still do not understand why you travel with one tainted by darkness."
Tera frowned, turning to face the monk, "I've known him since before he was 'tainted'," she replied simply, "I'm not going to abandon my friend just because he's changed."
"There are not many who would behave so," the monk murmured, seeming to think about what she'd said, "It is a true rarity."
Tera bit her tongue to keep from making another remark, not wanting to piss anyone off on her second day in the city. Luckily, she was saved from having to say anything else by the sound of Leapers getting closer, and a red ring forming just beside them.
Jak came bounding into view on his Leaper, sliding through the ring first and giving a grin, "Oh yeah!"
"Hah!" Daxter smirked, "We kicked your scaly tails! Back off, ya filthy animal!"
"Fine, hero, the crystal is yours," Seem held up the light crystal, Jak snatching it from her, "The two types, light and dark, when combined form great energies. Be careful with them. And when you die… do be kind enough to give them back."
"I don't plan on it," Jak frowned, "Why are you so obsessed with death?"
"Because of that!" Seem pointed up, to a purple light in the sky, "The Day Star approaches, and every day it grows brighter!" the monk pressed her hands together, "This planet's final trial is coming."
"Final trial?"
"If you'll excuse me," Seem brushed them off, "My Monks and I must return to our temple. Good luck, hero…"
"Well aren't they a bundle of happiness," Daxter muttered, "Good riddens, we don't need those creeps around!"
"C'mon, Ter. I think we should go find Kleiver. I'll bet anything he's got another 'job' for us."
"Fine…" the girl grudgingly climbed onto the Leaper, holding on as Jak steered it towards the garage, "Good job racing those monks, by the way."
"Thanks," Jak glanced back at her, "Did Seem say anything while I was gone?"
"Not really." Tera didn't feel like elaborating. They reached the garage quickly enough, heading through the doors once they opened. Sure enough, Kleiver was waiting inside, smirking when he spotted them.
"You guys looking for a bit of action? The scope shows a group of Metal Heads moving through the desert not too far from here. I don't like Metal Heads, almost as much as I don't like you," he was in Jak's face now, "And you've got some proving to do! Intercept those bad boys and give 'em hell. Who knows, you may even get a few toys for your effort."
"Why does it sound like you're leaving out the dangerous parts?" Daxter questioned, "Jak, I'm getting some nasty JuJu vibes here. I don't have these whiskers for nothing, ya know!"
"Relax," Jak shrugged it off, "We can handle a few Metal Heads."
"Have you ever seen a Wasteland Metal Head?" the groups eyes went back to Kleiver.
"No… why?"
"Nothing, just wondering. Go get 'em heroes," the fat man chuckled before heading towards the exit, "Oh, and yer gonna need some weapons, so take th' Sand Shark this time around. Just don't wreck it," he headed out, leaving the group alone again.
"I've got a bad feeling about this," Tera muttered, following Jak over to the proper car, "At least it's a two seater so I can actually come this time…"
Jak smirked, climbing into the driver's seat and flipping down his goggles, "Hold on tight."
Tera followed suit, doing as he said as he gunned the acceleration, the Sand Shark shooting out of the garage once the doors had opened. Jak tested the machine guns out on a couple of Marauders first, then nodded to his companions before heading towards the first radar blip on his comm.. Coming around a corner of cliffs, Jak hit the breaks, staring at the Metal Head up in front of them.
"That's… a bit Metal Head…" Daxter swallowed, "And… there's four of 'em, right?"
"Yah…" Teras eyes darted to Jak, "You ready…"
Jak smirked behind his scarf, "Hold on tight."
It was a wild ride; Jak had to swerve to avoid being hit by the Metal Heads several times, also steering around the bombs they tossed back at them. The machine guns worked well, taking down the beasts one by one. The final monster of the group attempted to trick them by falling down and getting up again, but under the barrage of gun fire it soon started to sway for real.
Finally, it fell to the ground, a dark eco crystal and communicator of some sort dropping to the sand. Jak hopped out of the car, walking over and snatching the crystal. Tera followed, looking at the crystal, "These seem to be popping up everywhere…"
"Metal Head commander, report! What's happening?!" the comm. suddenly sprung to life, a holographic head appearing, "If you lost that cargo, and you're still alive, I'll kill you myself! I want every Dark Eco crystal you can find! Time is short… did you hear me?! Wait…" it turned as Jak approached, "Not you! Agggh!"
Jak stepped on the comm., severing the connection, "I don't like the sound of your voice."
"Ha! You sure kicked sand in his face! Oh yeah, that was good!"
"That face looked familiar…"
"Now you're getting paranoid, buddy boy. Come on, Big Foot, let's get back. This desert gives me the creeps."
Jak paused, then turned and headed back to the Sand Shark. Tera followed after, frowning. That hologram had looked like… but it couldn't be… no, it wasn't possible. He was dead… wasn't he?
"C'mon, Ter!" Daxter's call snapped her from her thoughts, the girl jogging over and hopping in just as Jak took off for the gates again. Swerving in, they only got to breathe for a minute before Jaks comm. once more popped out of his pocket.
"Jak, come to my palace. It is time for you to prove yourself again." Came Damas' voice before the comm. shut off again, the three hopping from the car and heading out of the garage.
The palace wasn't very far away, the group stepping into the elevator and waiting as it took them up to the throne room. Damas stood in front of his throne, grinning when they approached him.
"Once again, you must test your fighting skills in the arena. Face down your fears, defeat those who oppose you, and we will see if your skills are of use to us. The purity of the arena is our only guide!"
"Excuse me… Mr. Sand King?" Daxter hopped down to the floor, "Yes, I'd like to place a complaint… we've been training hard. My feet are killing me, and I think I'm getting a hangnail! So… maybe I'll just sit this one out…"
"Enough talk!" Damas tossed a new gun mod to Jak, "The arena awaits!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The crowd roared as Jak finished off the last of the Marauders, once more taking the elevator up to the main platform. Tera gave him a thumbs up from near the exit, Jak smirking. A few Marauders would never get the best of him.
"I can't believe you two are still alive!" Pecker squawked from his place on Damas' throne.
"Yeahh… what a surprise!" Daxter drawled.
"Damas and I are very impressed!"
Daxter frowned, "Hey, feather butt, who appointed you king?"
"He did!" he motioned to Damas, "Well, almost. Kind of a semi-king, you know. You should see our sleeping quarters, and his harem of love birds… oooh… I never get any sleep these days. Heh heh… it's good to be the king, no?"
"I don't see no crown on that fat feather head!"
"You want a crown? I'll crown you! Don't make me come down there from this perch!"
"I've got a perch for ya birdie, right here," Daxter hopped onto the stand, throwing up his middle finger, "twirl on it!"
"That's it!" Pecker launched himself at the ottsel, "It's GO time!"
"Bring it on, bird brain!"
"Enough!" Damas stood, having had enough of their bickering, "If I wanted you to fight, I would have commanded it!" he turned to Jak, "You did… very well, Jak. You make me proud… that our training program is so good. Here is your second Battle Amulet, and a new weapon mod. One more arena win, and you will be a true Wastelander!"
Jak approached the stand, grabbing the amulet and gun mod. He couldn't help but grin at Damas' last statement; finally, somewhere he could actually fit in…
Jak jumped over to the exit platform, frowning when he saw that Tera wasn't there. She had apparently wandered off at some point. Heading out and back into the sunlight, he spotted her down at the end of the stairs and grinned. She sat on a Leaper with another beside her, giving an innocent look when he approached.
"Figured this way I could ride my own Leaper for once," she handed him the reigns of the second one, "Kleiver came by at one point, wants us to meet him at the garage now."
"Fat man has another job for us, eh?" Daxter preened, "Seems we're useful after all!"
"Let's go," Jak snapped the reigns of his leaper, Teras jolting into motion after him. They let the Leapers go when they reached the garage, heading in to find Kleiver standing beside one of the other vehicles.
"Damas has a job for us, but I'm no babysitter, so stay outta my way!"
"Jaks not afraid of you! Uh…" Daxter glanced at him, "Are ya, Jak?"
"If you knew what was happening out here, you'd be afraid all right."
"What's going on here?" Damas approached from the exit, eyes narrowed at Kleiver.
"Nothing, your lordship. Just offering Jak and the little one here some healthy advice."
Damas brushed him off, taking Jak by the shoulder and turning him away from Kleiver, "You have a reputation for being rash. Didn't your father ever tell you to pick your battles wisely?" Damas had paid no attention to Daxter and Tera waving their hands at him, Jak turning away.
"I didn't know my father."
Damas paused, "My point is, sometimes you face your enemy head on, and sometimes, you wait until his weakness is revealed. Patience is a warrior's greatest weapon. Do you understand?" he waited till the younger male nodded, "Jak, I want you and Kleiver to go into the desert and herd a group of lizards into a waiting transport. We must prepare for whatever lies ahead. I need all the resources we can gather."
"No problem," Jak grinned, "I'm good with animals." Daxter pulled an odd look at the comment.
Kleiver waited till Damas had left, then pushed Jak out of his way, "I'll see ya out there, chum. Heh."
"We get to herd leapers?" Tera looked to Dax, grinning, "I get the feeling you're going to be doing all the work, Dax."
"You know it, babe," the ottsel grinned, "Lets show that tub o'blubber what we can do!"
"Good plan," Jak jumped into the driver's seat of the Sand Shark again, gunning it once the others were in. They blew up a few Marauders on their way out to the Leaper area, looking around as they drove through a bunch of ruined buildings.
"Precursor ruins…" Tera breathed as they drove through them, movement catching her eye, "There's the leapers!"
"Got it," Jak swerved, speeding after them. Daxter got onto Tera's shoulder, preparing to leap.
"Get closer Jak!" the ottsel shouted, springing onto the back of the animal once they were close enough. He steered it back to the compound, holding on tightly till the lizard slid to a stop inside the holding area. He smirked, running back over to the Shark when it swerved into view, taking off after the next set of Leapers.
They repeated the process twice more, finally getting the three Leapers that they needed into the compound.
"Oh yeah! That's right!" Daxter cheered, hopping off the Leaper and running back over to where Jak and Tera now stood, Kleiver approaching.
"I have to admit, you got some talent, kid," he motioned to the Dune Hopper, the car he had taken, "Have another one of me vehicles, ya earned it."
"Damn straight!" Daxter grinned, "Would it be too much to ask for a foot rub?" Kleiver gave a growl, only making the ottsels smirk widen, "Nope, didn't think so."
"Don't bother Dax, you did good, nice Leaper riding skills."
"Oh yeah, you know it!" the ottsel jumped back on Jaks shoulder when he moved towards the Dune Hopper.
"Where're you going, Jak?"
The blonde smirked, "I say it's time we pay the Monk Temple a little visit."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"First it's jumping over huge gaps… then it's climbing crumbling platforms in a Monk Temple…" Tera plopped down on her knees once they'd reached safe ground, "I don't like this place… I say we go back to Spargus…"
"We've come this far now, Ter," Jak laughed at his friend. They had reached the Monk Temple only to find the sole door blocked by a watcher eye. However, a pedestal had lead up to more platforms lining the upper walls, leading the group to climb up. Now, they had just finally made it to the top, Jak approaching a sort of flying contraption.
"Oooo sweet!" Daxter crooned.
"Seem said they lost an expedition of Monks on the Volcano. I bet they built these gliders to reach the top," Jak reasoned.
"Yeah, lost being the operative word," the ottsel huffed, jumping down, "If they vanished, don't ya think that was a sign? Hello!"
"People don't just vanish, Daxter," Tera stood, walking over to examine the glider, "Something probably got them… Metal Heads, maybe…" she frowned, "or they could have fallen in lava…"
"Oh THANKS for the great thoughts there, Ter."
"All we have to do is hit those accelerator rings," Jak pointed to the rings lining the way to the volcano, "And we're golden."
"I'll be heading back down to the monk temple then," Jak turned, frowning as the girl headed back to the edge of the roof.
"You're not coming?"
"Jak, be reasonable," she pointed at the glider, "There is no way that thing can hold two people. It would be likely to crash from to much weight. The safest choice is for me to go back down and wait for you guys to get back."
"Right," the blonde glanced at the glider. It did look fairly flimsy… "Ok, we'll see you when we get back then."
"Oh no!" Daxter screeched, "See any feathers here! Looks like fur to me! No feathers, no flya-da-Ottsel! There's NO WAY you're gonna get me on some Precursor Monk crap! Absolutely zippo chance, I'm goin with Ter!" he turned back towards the edge, "Forget it! Finito! Fat chance! Not gonna happen! Nope! Nu uh! Never!"
Hopping down to another platform, Tera guessed that Daxter had been dragged onto the glider when a scream of "JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK" hit her ears. Shaking her head, she focused on the task at hand… getting back down the platforms they had used to climb to the top.
Giving a sigh, Tera pulled a blue cartridge from her back, crushing it in her fist. The energy zapped through her body, lines appearing on her skin and air flicking to blue. She sighed, lips twitching; it felt good to use the eco again, plus it would give her an advantage over the crumbling blocks. It definitely made it easier to get down the blocks, the girl soon landing back in the main area of the temple. Once there, she sat down on the main platform, waiting for Jak and Daxter to get back. At least she didn't have to go gliding…
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Jak peered over the edge of the volcanic platform, climbing up. Another satellite, this one much large, sat at the back of the platform. A petrified monk, encased in stone, stood closer to them, a purple artifact clutched in its arms.
"Looks like it didn't agree with him!" Daxter cracked, attempting to lighten the mood.
Jak followed after, "Don't touch it, Daxter. Who knows what more Dark Eco would do to you."
The ottsel turned around, "Look at me, Jak. I'm short, I'm hairy, and I itch in strange places. I couldn't do worse. Relax, I know what I'm doing," he moved back to the monk, reaching out for the artifact, "Oooohh yuck… cold… clammy… dead hands… oh I can't look…" he tugged on it, pulling as hard as he could till it released, flying up over him.
"Look out Daxter!" Jak dove for it, snatching it before it could hit the ottsel. The artifact gave a jolt, purple sparks coming from it as Jak suddenly vanished into thin air.
"Jak? Jak? Where are ya, buddy?!" Daxter freaked, "I told Ter! I told her!" he jumped back when the artifact suddenly dropped, Jak reappearing, "Hey!"
"It's a dark power Dax…" Jak panted, examining his hands, "Some kind of… invisibility…"
"Yeah, well, cut it out!" the ottsel grouched, heading back to the edge, "If you moved that fast a long time ago, I'd still be wearing pants!" he stopped, "You know what I really miss? Soft underpants. You know how it lifts and cradles… ahhh…. You wouldn't understand. We're outta here!"
Jak cast one last look at the dead monk before following after. Something wasn't right here…
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Tera jumped when the Warp Gate suddenly sprung to life, Jak and Daxter appearing seconds later.
"Did you guys find the monks?"
"We found a monk," Daxter corrected, "Dead as a doorknob! Petrified or somethin'… he was holdin' this artifact thing, and when Jak touched it, he went invisible!"
"Invisible?" the girl's eyebrow went up, her gaze going to Jak.
"A new Dark Power," he explained, looking around, "But I need an idol around to use it…"
"Like that one?" she pointed to the opposite wall, a small purple idol standing in the alcove there, "I looked around a bit once I managed to get down here. There wasn't much else to do."
"That's one alright," Jak glanced at the girl once more before heading over, "I see you charged up."
"It made it easier to get down. I just have to wait for it to wear off now."
Jak nodded, then raised a hand to the idol. It activated, the male disappearing as the invisibility came into effect. He moved past the seeing eye to the doors, motioning to Tera once it had shut off, "Come on, I've got a feeling that there's more mysteries to this place then we know."
The girl stood up, following him into the next room, guns drawn as a precaution. Jak pulled out his morph gun, waiting for his invisibility to wear off before proceeding down the stairs. A few spiders came up to meet them, but they were easily taken care of. They passed through a small chamber containing a Dark Eco vent, Jak recharging before they continued on, taking care of a few more spiders.
They exited in a large circular room with a raised platform in the centre of the room, surrounded by eight hovering security lasers. Jak looked to the other side, spotting a dark idol and realizing what had to be done. "Ter, go back into the hallway."
The girl blinked but did as he said; unsure of what he planned to do. Jak walked around the perimeter of the room, stopping at the idol and activating the invisibility. He walked into the centre of the room, loading the second red gun mod and charging up a full blast, the explosion taking out the lasers. He motioned Tera back into the room before slamming down the middle button, opening a nearby set of doors.
The trio headed for the new hallway, once more having to take down a number of spiders as they appeared. There were a lot of them, but finally they stopped coming and the three could continue forwards. Entering the next room, a sensor caught their movement and gates slammed across the hallways, bars appearing through the open parts.
Going around a corner, another eye caught their movement, electrifying the bars. Jak sighed, eyes narrowing; he was really beginning to dislike this place. Knowing what he had to do, Tera moved out of range of the eye while Jak went invisible, jumping across the bars and deactivating the sensor.
He did this for the next four sections as well, the gates reopening once all the watcher eyes had been deactivated. Tera jogged back over, the three continuing on down the next set of steps, through a small room and then out into a large chamber of what seemed to be the catacombs themselves. A giant Oracle statue was right in front of them, reminding Tera of the much smaller Oracles in Sandover.
They moved to walk in, but Jak spotted people on another of the balconies and pushed Tera back, ducking behind the wall.
"I want no excuses! You told me this could be done. Now make it so!" the voice obviously belonged to Veger, Jak's eyes narrowing when it was Seem who replied.
"But we have so little time. The Day Star approaches! You know what it brings!"
"Unfortunate, yes, we will deal with that as soon as I have full access to the catacombs. Just continue your work, and I'll deal with those idiots in Haven. I promise you, you will meet your makers!"
Jak glanced around the corner as they left, "Why are the catacombs so important?"
"Remember that light we saw when the Haven palace fell?" Tera glanced around, "Maybe that has something to do with all of this…"
"Who knows," Jak shook his head, "we've been thrown into something else yet again…"
Daxter ignored the two, hopping off Jaks shoulder and approaching the large Precursor statue, "Hey, it's one of those goober eyed Precursor thingies!"
The oracles eyes opened suddenly, light filtering through them, "Greetings great warrior! Your return brings us great hope. This planet's future is at a critical juncture. The Dark Ones have found your world again, and fate hands in the balance where the past and the future collide."
"Do you have any idea what he just said?" Daxter asked the others, "Speak-a-da normal-language, ok?"
"You will need all the power you can muster to survive this terrible test, great one."
Daxter grinned, "I can handle it."
"I was talking to the tall one, shorty!"
"HEY!"
"Look into the light and receive a power, hero…"
Jak looked up, his eyes sliding closed as a light surrounded him, lifting him into the air.
"Okay, now you're scaring me…" Daxter squeaked, staring. Tera said nothing, simply watching in curiosity.
Jak dropped back to the ground, actually… smiling for once, "The Dark eco… it feels… far away… I feel better…"
"That's good," Tera glanced around, fidgeting slightly, "We should probably get out of here… Veger might come back…"
"Right," Jak turned, leading the others through the warp gate. Once back at the main Monk Temple, they left and hopped back into the Dune Hopper, heading back to Spargus.
"The winds a lot stronger then usual," Tera coughed, pulling her scarf up over her mouth and nose, "There's probably a storm coming."
Jak just nodded, focusing on getting them back to the city as quickly as possible. As long as they were in Spargus when the storm came, they'd be fine…
