sorry for the long wait i was extremly busy with school work and catching up on my other story, From One World to The Next.
so here is the overly late Chapter 3!
Disclaimer: of all Jak peoples( friends,choas etc.)
Claimer: All my oc's,BFF(CJ), myself and CJ's boyfriend.
Coco's P.O.V.
Carol-Anne was desperately trying to contact her boyfriend Cory, only receiving a jammed or to fuzzy to understand signal. I looked up to see Jak walk in with a stoic expression. "Back so early?" I asked stupidly. "What did you want us to do? Sit in that crazy traffic?" Daxter piped up. "That's why I always let Jak drive." I looked at the smaller animal and just rolled my eyes. "I'm sure that's the reason you let him drive." Carol-Anne said sarcastically. Daxter only waved her off with a small hand walking past us both. "Whew... being a big hero sure makes ya thirsty!" a giant gasp escaped his rather frail lungs.
He whipped his forehead with a small hand and took hold of a lever that was connected to a drain pipe. Daxter pulled it, opened his mouth and began drinking some sludgy substance from the pipe.
In an instant, Daxter spat it out and looked at Torn very unpleased. "The Baron turned off all water to the slums. He's willing to sacrifice innocent lives just to destroy the underground. I shouldn't be surprised. I've seen his evil before, while serving in the Krimzon Guard. That's why I quit." Torn just about summed up his whole life story there.
"You were a Krimzon Guard?" Jak said in shock. "So that explains your... charming sense of humor." I said covering his tracks. "My friend in the Guard tells me the valve to turn the water back on is located outside the city, at the Pumping Station." Torn told the two boys while pointing his thumb behind him.
"Outside the city?" CJ and I asked simultaneously, while I sat up on the bed. "What about the security walls?" Jak finished the question with his arms crossed.
"What about the Metal Heads? It ain't no petting zoo out there... peeps be getting deep-sixed!" Daxter tried to act like a gangster and FAILED.
"Coco and CJ will take you there. Find the large drain pipe in the north wall." Torn ordered. "It'll take you outside the city to the Pumping Station. Get to the main valve and open it. If you survive, the slums will be indebted to you. If not, maybe we'll have a touching moment of silence in your honor." the older man was pondering while he spoke.
"I'd like to give him a 'touching moment'." Daxter added
"Come on Mr. McTouchy." I ordered "Lets get a move on." CJ added. Jak smirked at our comments. Daxter only pouted. "lets take a two seater kay?" I asked my sister. "Kay." we hoped in and CJ took the wheel. "you two okay?" they nodded. "Alright! Now floor it!" I instructed my sibling and she did as told. Suddenly our comm.'s went off. "What the hell was that for?" asked the crackling voice that belonged to Jak.
"Oh just a little race." I answered innocently. "oh well if it's a race, then I'll see you two at the finish line." we looked at each other, we didn't stand a chance in this rusted up bucket of bolts. We needed to find two single seated Zoomer's and fast. "Over there!" I pointed. We rushed over to the vehicles only to be passed by Jak. We got on the single seater's. CJ looked at me with worry. "Now whadda we do?" she asked. "We don't stand a chance anymore!"
"That's ok, I know a short cut." I said competitively. So I hit the gas on the smaller zoomer, Carol-Anne did the same.
Rushing through the streets feeling the wind blowing through my hair, it felt good and refreshing to see that the wind was never down in its mood. I looked away to the side for a second trying to figure out who the other figure was that was diving in and out of hover zones like it was their life support. I turned my attention ahead to almost run into another, much larger Zoomer.
CJ's P.O.V.
When Loray and I took off I lost her right away. Pushing the race partly out of my mind I searched for my sibling. Dodging and switching between hover zones as if there was no tomorrow. I headed towards the water slums until I heard a cry out of no where. Hitting the breaks I looked over to see none other than my sister almost collide into the back of a hovering cargo train.
"COCO!" I cried, that attempt failed to reach her ears however. Coco sped off in the opposite direction of myself. "Coco! Wait for me!" I revved the engine hitting the gas, speeding of towards her. I almost hit five Krimzon Guards on the ground and six Krimzon Guard Hell-Cat cruisers with three smaller Krimzon Guard Zoomer's.
I lost my balance on one of the stupidly sharp turns. I hit a Hell-Cat cruiser hard by T-boning him. The cities alarming system went off, as I lay on the cold stone floor. After a few seconds I gathered my bearings and got up only to be shot at with a deadly jolt of electricity then hand cuffed. My eyes snapped open with realization as I knew what was going to happen to me.
No longer would I get the light slap on the wrist, I would now get the full punishment I should have gotten years ago, but didn't until now. I was dazed and confused. The KG grabbed me by my wrist, I tried to struggle but only got a harsh blow to the head by the butt of one of the guards gun causing me to black out.
I woke up to a dimly lit room that turned out to be a cell. My light blue-teal eyes searched the room to see if there were any places I could find and escape from, to my luck sadly there were none!
"Are you ok?" a soft voice asked. I turned around to see none other than my boy-friend Cory. His soft mousy blond hair that was always perfect was now a matted mess, he wore the prison's traditional tattered and beaten torn clothing, his face was full of cuts that he received from some of the prison fights, his arms and legs were bare and bruised.
"Cory…" tears swelled in my eyes. "Cory how did you end up in here, of all places?" Cory only faintly smiled. "I was caught stealing, again…but that doesn't matter anymore. The KG are now taking down all the rebellious, troubled, and homeless teenagers off the streets to here for experiments." I gasped kneeling on the floor. Putting a hand on his knee I asked him, "What about my sister? Will she be safe?" His face went from the small amount of happiness it held to a great deal of sadness. "You and I both know Loray every well, she is a very smart girl, she can even manipulate her way out of the guard, or well…" he trailed looking over to the side.
"Or well what?" I pressed on. He looked at me with an odd face. "Or well, she'll fight off as many as she can until she dies." I knew that was true, for I was the same way. "What can I do?" I stood up and paced a circle. "She's out there with a rookie racing him to the water slums to turn on the cities water system, she'll go mad looking for me!" I whispered so only Cory could hear and not the Guards outside our cell. "Well if your sister is smart and plays her cards right she might be able to save both our asses, or maybe just you. We don't know what will happen until it happens." I walked over and sat on his lap. "Don't let this destroy you," his soft whisper echoed in my ear. "All you have to do is trust in yourself and your sister. Trust me, once you do you two will be able to do anything!"
"Alright...but I don't know if-" I was cut off as a Guard came in and snatched me from Cory. "Aaggh! GET-OFF-OF ME!" I screamed violently at the two guards that held me captive. "Hey!" the guards looked over to my already beaten up boyfriend. "LEAVE HER ALONE!" he shouted. "Oh, don't worry she wont feel any pain once I'm done with her." I voice from the shadows piped. "What do you mean?" Cory's voice was full of both caution and worry. "Smite! Drake!" the two men looked over to the shadowed person. "Do her up good, but not to much." The persons ember eyes looked at my boyfriends coldly yet full of satisfaction from the upcoming torture, "I still want to see her suffer."
My light crystal like eyes shot open. "NO! get away from me! Get a-way fr-rom….me" I was passed out from a drug that they injected in me. I faintly heard the echo of my boyfriends voice becoming more distant with every concerned word he spoke of until everything went black, as i fell unconscious.
