Chapter 4: The Beginning of the End
Jak and Daxter were pacing around their cell, when they heard a yell. They stopped and looked around. There was no-one there other than themselves, so they continued pacing.
Then, out of the ceiling, came a large blue vortex. They backed away as two figures dropped from the vortex and landed in a heap, on the floor. The vortex closed and the ceiling reappeared. The figures slowly stood up and Jak and Daxter were able to see what they were.
One was a tall, pale-skinned man. He had a claw on his left hand and was clad in black, except for his golden metal boots, red bandana and red cape. He had long black hair and crimson eyes, which seemed to glow slightly. He also had a gun, holstered on his right hip. Daxter quickly looked away from this creepy stranger, to check out the other one.
This one was a tall woman, with dark brown hair. She had tight, sleeveless leather top, small-cut shorts, leather gloves with metal knuckles and trainers with metal toe caps. Daxter had his eyes fixed on her and started to drool……until Jak noticed and whacked him on the back of his head.
The dark stranger was the first to speak.
"Pardon me, but can you tell us where we are?" He asked with a gravely voice. The woman was still dusting herself off from the fall and wasn't paying any attention to the others.
Jak nervously met the eerie eyes of the man and answered. "You're in the Baron's prison fortress. If you ask me, you picked a bad place to appear in."
The woman finished dusting herself off and looked up at hearing Jak's voice. She looked him over, and then turned to check Daxter out. He just stood there, staring at her, so she decided to speak to Jak.
"Hi there. My name's Tifa. What's yours?" She asked, in a sweet and gentle sounding voice. Daxter was, unfortunately, the first to answer her.
"My name is Daxter, but you can call me………'Orange Lightning'." He gave her one of his trademark "I think you're hot, so love me" looks. He leapt onto her shoulder and started to whisper in her ear. Her eyes went wide and she socked him, causing him to fly into the door of the cell, knocking it over due to the momentum of the hit. Jak's eyes went wide and his jaw dropped.
He quickly recovered and introduced himself. "My name is Jak. I'm really sorry about Daxter, he can be a handful at times, but he's usually much nicer to other people."
"It's ok. He just startled me. I didn't expect him to be able to talk, that's all." Tifa explained with her usual smile on her face. A small cough was heard next to her. "Oh, sorry Vincent. I forgot to introduce you. Jak, this is Vincent Valentine." Jak shook hands with the dark man. "He may look scary, but he's a big softie when you get to know him."
Vincent looked to the now open door. "We should be leaving. If this is a prison, don't the guards usually check on the prisoners?" He walked towards the doorway and looked out. He saw a massive abyss in front of him and cells all around it.
"You don't need to worry about guards. Dax and I took care of them when we broke out of here, not too long ago. They don't like to pay any attention to any prisoners, because all they care about is getting paid." Jak told them, as he walked up to Vincent. He pointed to the warp gate to their right. "We should use that to get out of here fast. Otherwise, it'll take a while and a walk through some sewage."
The others nodded and followed him through the gate, Daxter following behind, still dizzy from being hit so hard by a woman.
