Jak and Daxter: An Assassin's Promise
Chapter 2: The End of Gol and Mia
Jak and Daxter were traveling through Spider Cave, trying to collect as many power cells as they could. The last thing they had to do in the cave was destroy the dark eco crystals. Jak easily found all except for one of them. Daxter wasn't much help with trying to find them, so Jak was on his own for the most part. Searching through the cave he came to the darkest part of it all. He remembered going through here before but to be on the safe side, he went through it again.
"Jak, why are we going through here again?" Daxter whined.
The teen didn't give an answer and just kept on moving. Jak turned a corner and was about to keep on going, until he noticed a pond beside him. He walked over to the water and looked down inside. He smiled when he saw the last dark eco crystal. He scooted Daxter off his shoulder, then dove down into the water. When he reached the crystal, he quickly struck it causing it to blink rapidly. Jak then quickly swam to the top of the water, once he reached the top he heard the explosion the crystal left.
"Way to go there buddy, wonder if it will give us a power cell. That was all of them right?" Daxter asked.
Jak nodded and looked as a power cell shot out of the water and landed right at his feet. He smiled and picked up the cell, tucking it away into his bag.
"Alright now let's get out of this cave. It's giving me the creeps!" Daxter said as he crawled back up on his best friends shoulder.
The two boys then quickly made their way through the cave, making their way back to where Keira and Samos were waiting.
Dessary found herself somewhere dark, she couldn't see anything. She began to walk around trying to figure out where she was. The last thing she remembered was seeing three sages in cages and there was still one empty one left. While in her thoughts she didn't notice that the world around her was changing.
When the girl snapped out of her thoughts she noticed she was standing in the middle of what seemed to be a city, a run down one at that. Slowly she began to walk as she took in the sights. Everything seemed to be falling apart in this place.
Dessary stopped as she saw someone approaching her.
"Excuse me sir, can you tell me where I am?" she asked.
Unfortunately Dessary didn't get a response instead, the man passed through her completely almost as if she was not even there. The teen gasped when it happened and tried to keep calm. She kept moving trying to shrug off what she just experienced.
She walked until she came to a huge building. She looked up and saw a picture on it, assuming that this must be the person that runs this forsaken place. Before she entered she heard someone running, turning her head she saw a little boy and a little girl. The girl pulled the boy as they ran away from the building.
Dessary hurried and followed close behind them. The two children stopped when someone seemed to offer a way to safety. She watched for a moment and then the surroundings started to change once again. She was standing on a bridge and watched as the little boy yelled out for the little girl. She was slipping off the side. Dessary was about to go jump after her, when someone else did instead. She watched as the person dressed in black uniform with red strips lining the edges of the outfit and a hood that covered their face, jump down after the girl. The teen tried to call out for them but as she did everything started to go black once again.
She snapped her eyes opened and realized that what had happened had to have been a dream. She was still catching her breath when she realized she was chained to a wall. The room was pitch black giving her no clue as to where she was or even how she got here. The only thing that made things visible was the little bit of light coming from the window in front of her.
Looking out she saw the same room she was in before but this time instead of just three sages, all four were now suspended in the cages. She gasped when she saw this and tried to figure out how she could free herself, in order to help the sages. Sadly, she couldn't find anything that could help her alone. Sighing she hung her head low hoping that someone out there would help the eco sages, even if they never got to her.
Jak and Daxter finally made it across the passage to where the eco sage resided. In the hut they found the portal but they also noticed that the place was completely trashed. As Jak took in the surroundings his vision started to change again and the so did the scenery around him.
Jak looked around and saw that the room was now clean, everything seemed to be in its place. Not only was that but there standing in the center of the room none other than the yellow sage himself. He seemed to be looking over his portal, still shut off at the moment, mumbling to himself about what was wrong.
He then heard someone behind him. Jak didn't have enough time to turn before the girl entered the room. She stood in front of Jak as she bent down trying to catch her breath. Then suddenly her head shot up as the sage began asking her questions.
"What's wrong my dear?" he asked her.
"You have to get out of here. These two people are taking the sages, I'm not sure why but I know they are coming after you next. They already have the red and the blue sages." She explained.
"Right my dear but first we must warn the green sage." He said turning to his portal.
As he was about to turn it, Jak heard someone else approaching. When he turned back to the girl and the yellow sage, he noticed that everyone was now gone. He ran out of the hut and saw that it was none other than Gol and Mia. They had the yellow sage knocked out and were entering through some kind of huge door.
When Jak noticed the girl was still missing, he went back into the hut and noticed something else strange. The room that was a complete mess when himself and Daxter had gotten there, was still as clean as it was when he first came into the vision. Jak looked around the place, trying to find a sign of the girl.
In a matter of minutes the girl came out of hiding and did as Jak had done. Running out and saw Gol and Mai holding the yellow sage seconds before the doors behind them closed. Jak heard her mutter a curse and went back in the room. He couldn't quite make out her words but without warning she began throwing books to the ground and anything else she could get her hands on. Soon the room looked exactly as Jak had found it.
The scene then changed once again, bringing Jak to the same door that Gol and Mia had entered. He watched as the girl tried to open the door, when nothing work she held her hand to the door and shut her eyes. Suddenly the door opened without question and she quickly entered. Jak ran behind her and saw three of the four sages locked away in cages. He noticed that she saw it as well but her gaze had fallen on the still empty cage.
Before the girl could move, Jak noticed Mia coming up behind her. Jak tried to call out to her but nothing would come from his mouth. The girl was then knocked out and Mia started at her form.
"Gol what are we to do with this one?" she asked him.
"She has some kind of channeling abilities almost like the sages. Put her inside the robot we can use her power to control it as well." Gol said.
Jak was about to follow them but the vision disappeared and everything was black once again.
Jak came back to and saw the room as it had been when they had arrived. He looked at Daxter who was staring at him with a confused look on his face.
"You alright there Jak?" he asked.
The teen simply nodded and went over to the portal. He looked around and found the switch, turning on the portal. Keira was the first one that came through, however Samos failed to show. Daxter was about to ask why but Keira got to it before he could even mouth his words.
"Jak they took daddy. I didn't know what to do." She paused.
Jak had never seen Keira like this before. She always had some kind of plan, always kept collected but now Jak was the one that had to stay calm. The girl looked up to his eyes and right away Jak knew what to do.
"Jak please you have to get him back. You have to get them all back." Keira begged.
The boy hugged her to calm her down a bit. He then turned to Daxter, who was standing between the two at the moment. Daxter quickly crawled back up on Jak's shoulder and let him lead the way out of the hut. Jak went over to the same door the girl had gone through not long ago. Remembering what she had done, he put his hand to the door and closed his eyes. For a brief moment nothing happened. Daxter was about to say something when the door began opening on its own. Jak felt the movement and then took his hand off of the door.
The boys were about to step through to the other side but they were stopped when Keira took a step in front of them.
"Jak please be careful. Same to you Daxter. We don't know how powerful Gol and Mia are but I know you two can do it." She said.
After she was done she stepped aside and watched the boys step through to the door.
Dessary looked around trying to find a way out. She had about given up hope, until she noticed the door of the room began to open. Down below she saw a boy with an orange creature on his shoulder. She smiled when she realized that this was the boy Gol and Mia were speaking of. She hear them talking about him as they plotted above her. They were confident that they could destroy him but Dessary was no fool. She could easily detect the bit of doubt in their voices as they spoke.
She watched as he talked to the green sage, who was suspended in the center of the room. Finally the boy ran off into another room. She lost track of him for a while until she noticed he appeared again, this time he was by the blue sage. Easily the boy freed him and the blue sage went to work on using his eco to try and destroy the machine she now resided in. From what she could tell it was slowly weakening the robot and the best part about this whole situation was the fact that Gol and Mia weren't here.
Dessary couldn't help but smirk. The two had foolishly left the place unguarded. The only thing stopping the boy down below were the puzzle like bridges, as far as she could see anyway.
Jak and Daxter had freed the first sage and were now walking up to the red sage. He waited patiently as Jak pulled the switch that freed him. Once he was free he thanked the boys and went into the air, shooting his eco at the robot in the room.
"Come on Jak! Two down, two to go!" Daxter yelled.
Jak nodded and hopped down and made his way to the next sage. He carefully made his way up to the yellow sage. Trying is best to not be knocked off by the moving platforms. Once he got there he once again pulled the switch. The yellow sage did as the others and went to work on the robot. All they had to do now was free Samos.
As Jak was about to jump down again, he noticed that he felt another presence in the area. Looking around he couldn't see anyone else other than Samos in the cage. He was about to push it aside when he felt it again. For a moment he thought it might be either Gol or Mia but he knew it wasn't when he didn't feel uneasy. He looked around again and found his eyes resting on the robot in the center of the room.
"Hey Jak you okay?" Daxter asked.
Jak ignored him as he stared at the robot. Someone was in there against their will. The teen hurried and went over to Samos and set him free. Once the green sage was free the teen again turned over to the robot once again and began walking towards it when he was stopped by Samos.
"Boy what do you think you are doing?" he asked him.
"He's been acting like this since we freed the sage before you. I think he's finally knocked a screw loose." Daxter said.
Ignoring both of them for now he turned his attention to the robot. He closed his eyes as he started to feel another vision hit him again.
When he opened his eyes again he was standing in a dark room. Looking around the only thing giving a bit of light was the window in front of him. He heard someone behind him and there he could make out the shape of a girl. He went to touch her but she spoke instead.
"Funny, you can see what I can see, can't you?" she asked him
Jak slowly nodded not sure what was happening.
"I know about as much about this as you do. I'm sorry I wish I could be of more help to you. However, now you have to go back to where you were. Gol and Mia are approaching this place now. They are planning on using this robot to get rid of you and that orange creature that was with you. Once you're out of the way they'll try and take over this world. I'll do what I can from in here to help but I fear you are on your own for this." She said to him.
For the first time Jak finally found the need to speak, something felt familiar about her and he wanted to know more.
"Who are you?" Jak whispered.
His voice was loud enough that the girl in front of him was able to make out what he said. He could see a smile appear on her face and waited for her to answer his question.
"My name is Dessary. Though my name is all I know before my father found me but now is not the time for this. You have a job to do and I promise we'll meet again someday." She said.
Jak went to reach for her but everything was beginning to become darker and he felt himself being pulled away from where Dessary was.
Jak opened his eyes and found himself by Daxter and Samos. He looked up to Samos who was staring at him with an interested expression.
"What did you see Jak my boy?" he asked him.
The boy simply lowered his head. He may have been willing to find his voice to confront Dessary but not to Samos. Something about her made him want to speak again even though he couldn't remember the reason why he never spoke in the first place.
"I see in time boy. Now we have a more important job to do. Gol and Mia are approaching." Samos said as used his eco with the other sages, resulting in the damage of the robot.
Gol and Mia then appeared and were angered at what they found. They quickly powered up the robot and sprung it to life. The robot flew into the air escaping the room they were in. Jak looked over to Samos who was still looking to the place they had left.
"You two need to hurry and stop them before they destroy the world." Samos ordered.
Jak nodded and ran with Daxter on his shoulder. He hoped on a platform and followed the robot outside. The floating platform brought them to another platform, where the robot was hovering by. Jak landed on the ground and stared at the robot. Daxter seemed a bit worried but Jak knew what he had to do, a new determination came to him, not to save just the world but to save the girl he saw locked away inside.
Dessary felt the robot fly up and finally stop. She quickly looked out and saw the boy and the orange creature glaring at her. She knew then that Gol and Mia activated the robot but she could also sense how weak the robot go thanks to the sages. She smiled and decided to fulfill her promise to the boy below.
The girl gathered her power and left eco for him to use against the robot. First she let the blue eco leave her, leaving her feeling a little weak. She looked below and saw him using it without hesitation. She smiled knowing what to do next.
She hurried and left him yellow eco to use as well. Eventually she felt the robot losing and on the inside she could tell it was starting to fall completely apart.
Jak was out of breath. He knew that Dessary was helping him by leaving eco to use, Daxter on the other hand was still under the impression that it had been the sages but Jak knew better. The sages hadn't made it outside of that building yet so they couldn't possibly be the ones helping them.
Jak saw the smoke leave the robot showing that it was almost broken apart. He looked around the area and panicked when he found no more eco to use. Daxter noticed this as well and started screaming in Jak's ear how unfair this was. Though while Daxter was screaming Jak felt the platform they were standing on begin to shake. He looked up and saw something forming in the center of it all.
Dessary was doing her best at focusing her eco into one spot for Jak to use. She knew there was only one way to stop the dark eco sages and that was light eco. So she tried her best at forming the eco, right now it seemed to be working but she was using a bit of the boy's energy as well. Hoping that it would be enough to stop the two for good.
When she opened her eyes she smiled at the sight, she saw what he was doing and the boy absorbed the eco. She watched as he stood up and shot the eco at her. Closing her eyes, she waited for the impact to hit. When it did she tried desperately to break free of her restraints. Finally they broke off of her and she tried to find a way out. She looked at the window once again and decided that was her best chance. She backed up and ran full speed at the window. When she made contact with the glass it completely shattered and she fell out of the window.
As she fell she tried to reach out for something but found she couldn't reach anything. Dessary's mind was racing as she fell, finally she gave up and closed her eyes, waiting for her body to impact the ground.
Jak and Daxter went to climb on the platform, which would take them up to where Keira, Samos and the other sages were waiting. However, before he got on he heard something break and shatter. Looking up he saw something come through the one eye of the robot and began to fall. His eyes widened when he realized what it was.
Jak then raced to the edge and jumped down after her, leaving a very confused and worried Daxter no doubt. He saw her try to reach out for something to latch onto but found that she couldn't. The boy was only inches from her before he was finally able to grab her by the hand. He pulled her up to his chest and then grabbed onto the nearest ledge.
When he knew they were okay for now, he began to make his way up. Though his arms were burning as he tried to pull his weight, along with the girl's. Looking up he saw Daxter staring down at him from the top.
"Hold on Jak, the platform is coming down to ya!" he yelled.
Jak then watched as Daxter jumped on the platform as it raced down to meet him and the girl in his arms. As soon as it was close enough, Jak jumped on the platform with the girl. Finally he was able to catch his breath as it took the three of them towards Keira and the four sages.
Once there the sages greeted them with a congratulations but then they paused when they saw the girl. Samos looked at her in curiosity while the other three sages ran over to her. The yellow sage picked her up and waited until she came to.
Dessary opened her eyes when she realized she never hit the ground. Looking up she was face to face with the yellow sage. Surprised, she jumped a bit before turning to see there were more people surrounding her.
"You did well." He said to her.
Dessary looked at him in confusion. What did he mean by that?
"You were the one helping Jak from the inside weren't you?" the sage asked her.
She then slowly nodded as she looked over at the boy she assumed was Jak. He was smiling at Keira while the orange creature was pestering them. Dessary turned her attention back to the yellow sage.
"I take it you also made them aware of the situation as well. You are a brave one that's for sure. I'm glad everything worked out." The yellow sage said as he looked at the scene.
"I am as well. I never imagined I'd be dragged into all of this." Dessary said as she looked at them.
"Well the three of us best be off. Now what was your name?" he asked
"Dessary." She said.
"I see well Dessary, I think its best you stick with Jak and them for now. I'll send word to your father for now. I'm sure that this won't be news to him." He said walking away.
Dessary stared as he left with the other three sages. She then turned back to the four that were still talking among themselves. She slowly walked over to them as Samos noticed her.
"Ah there you are my dear. If I heard correctly your name was Dessary correct?" He asked her.
She quickly nodded as she looked at the three next to her. Keira then smiled at her.
"It'll be nice to have a girl around. I hang out with too many boys don't you think?" she said to her.
Dessary smiled and nodded as she looked over to Jak who was trying his best to ignore his orange friend. She was about to turn back to the green sage, when she noticed the huge door in front of them. Slowly she began to walk over to it. Keira saw her move and followed after, also now noticing the giant door in front of them.
"Hey Jak, Daxter, daddy over here." Keira said.
The three came over and inspected the door as well. Dessary watched as Jak began putting the power cells he had into the door. Once he got all of his on there she noticed there were still three spaces left.
"Great now we have to find three more of those damn power cells." Daxter complained.
Dessary smiled and walked over to the door herself and got into her bag.
"Not exactly." Dessary said.
She then pulled out the three power cells her father had given her before she left her home. Walking in front of the door, she placed each one in its slot and finally the last one in the middle. She took a step back and watched as the door opened.
"I don't believe it." Keira said walking inside.
Jak and Daxter followed close behind, while Samos and Dessary stayed where they were.
"I believe it will be for the best for you to stay with us from now on. I'll contact your father and tell him that." Samos said.
"If you think that is best." Dessary said.
"You won't be upset?" Samos asked.
"No, he wasn't my father but he raised me. I want to know where I came from, maybe this will lead to it." She said.
She then walked in to join the other three leaving Samos to himself.
'You are closer than you think Dessary. I only wish that you would have been taken here instead.' Samos thought.
Thank you for reading. Sorry this took so long. Hopefully chapter 3 will be up really soon. Thank you everyone and please fav, follow, or review.
