"Dark Jak Speaking"

Chapter 3: The New and Improved Dark Warrior

Several weeks had gone by since their last meeting. As soon as Jak got home, he told Daxter of what he found out and the things that he had remembered.

"So all this time, you had memory flashbacks about this girl?" Daxter had asked. "That little brat that always fought with me is the very same girl that is currently missing?"

Jak nodded to both questions. "Although, I can't really explain why she's older."

"Perhaps she found a time rift gate when she was younger or something." Daxter pointed out. Jak sighed heavily. "Unfortunately, those are questions that only she would be able to answer."

Jak shrugged. She was the only one with the answers to the questions that haunted his head. The next day after that became even worse for the group.

Samos was talking with Pecker about the child. "Well, it is possible that she stumbled across one of the rift gates. Perhaps she was sent here and lost her memory?"

Jak had considered this, but he was still disturbed by a few things. Samos walked over towards Jak and sighed. "Jak, the answers to all our questions shall come shortly. I know that we'll find her soon."

"Where? We can't even find the second location of—" he was interrupted by his communicator going off. He looked towards it. He had thought it was communicator, but it turned out that it was actually his beacon.

"Well, maybe he isn't in Haven City," Samos inquired looking at the beacon. "Perhaps his second lab is located in Spargus City or in the desert."

Jak continued to stare at the beacon because nodding towards Samos. "If the others are looking for me," Jak began. "Tell them that I returned to Spargus."

Samos watched as Jak ran towards the elevator door. Daxter was waiting for him on the passenger side of the hellcat that Jak usually drove.

Daxter jumped as soon as the motor roared. He glared towards Jak for an explanation. "What the hell was that for?"

"The beacon was flashing." Jak said, looking towards his angry friend. "We just might have an idea of where that man is hiding."

Daxter's expression immediately changed. "Then step on it!"

Jak just that. He slammed his foot down on the gas pedal. Daxter had his eyes slammed shut throughout most of the drive. He never liked Jaks crazy driving.

"I swear, if it's not the Metal Heads that kill me," Daxter yelled over the rushing wind. "It's gonna be you and your reckless driving!"

As soon as they got to the large blue vehicle that drove them back to the desert and back, Jak grabbed his friend and ran right in.

"Jeez!" Daxter yelled as he was placed on the bench. "Don't let me get used to being relax, huh?"

"We don't have time to relax." Jak said hastily. "We've got to find our friend and stop this man. For all we know, he's created another Dark Warrior."

"Oooh, then I finally get competition." The dark voice behind Jaks skull chuckled deeply.

Not if it happens to be Petal. If it is her, you're not coming out to kill anything. Jak thought. He pushed the dark thoughts to the back of his head.

Just as Daxter's stomach was beginning to settle down, the door had opened. He groaned as Jak quickly grabbed him and ran out to the gates of Spargus.

After they had fully opened, he brushed himself off and looked around. Sig and Kleiver were standing near one of the vehicles talking. They both turned to face Jak and Daxter.

"Sig!" Daxter cried happily. "Chili pepper!" Sig smiled at the sight. Jak walked over towards the group and looked towards Kleiver. He pointed towards Sig. "I'm not so good with watching cities, so I let him do it."

Jak smiled towards Sig in thanks. "Thank you, Sig. Why did you guys give me a call?" he asked as he held up the beacon.

"We saw a bunch of activity in the desert with people who looked like they were from Haven City. I thought you might have an idea what they're doing." Sig said, slightly leaning on his Pace Maker.

"Did any of them wear white coats?" Jak asked. A small flare of hope went through him. Sig went silent as he thought about the men. "Yeah, I think they were."

"Think you could guide me there?"

"Certainly."

Jak grinned as he watched Sig walk towards one of the vehicles. "I'm going to go and get my weapons."

"You do that, I'm gonna warm this baby up." Jak had walked towards the palace with hope and determination.

"Well, we just found their second lab!" Daxter chuckled.

"Yes, we did. Now we're going to go through it and hopefully rescue Petal." Jak answered. Daxter was silent for a few minutes.

"What if she…already injected?"

Jak froze where he stood. The thought scared him greatly. He slowly calmed down a bit. "Then I can try to teach her how to control it. Unless those new 'adjustments' have something to do with it."

Daxter frowned. "Okay."

The two entered the palace and walked into a secluded room. Jak brought some of the guns that he had used against his fight with Erol, which included his very own Pace Maker.

Once he was ready, he walked back to see Sig already all set. He grinned towards Jak. "Ready for a little ride, Chili Pepper?"

Daxter groaned. "He's going to be driving? At least he isn't as reckless as you!" Jak just chuckled as he hopped onto the passenger side.

As they drove through the desert, Sig informed Jak of everything that had been happening since he left for Haven City. There was no suspicious activity in the desert until those men had come, which had been over a month ago.

Jak didn't like that sound of that. For over a month, they had been hiding in the desert working on their project.

"Might I ask what this is all about?" Sig looked towards Jak before turning his head back to the road. "About a year, or two years ago, Ashelin had found a document containing secrets about the Dark Warriors. The very same program I was in."

"Those people in the desert have kidnapped a friend of mine over a few months ago." Jak finished as he looked over towards Sig who nodded his head slightly.

"So you think that they are using your friend as an experiment for another Dark Warrior?" Jak nodded. "Yes."

The rest of the ride was silent. Daxter was sitting on the side of Jak, looking at the passing desert. "Are we there yet?"

"Almost."

Jak took a deep breath. He scanned the area, hoping to spot a cave or something. After some time, he managed to spot a cave. "Here we are." Jak looked towards the cave. It looked like it wasn't being occupied.

Both jumped out of the sides of the car and began walking towards the caves entrance. Daxter looked towards the large entrance. "Those white coat people are in here?"

"I certainly hope so." Jak growled. "As well as that crazy man."

Daxter shook his head as he kept his mouth shut. Both men snuck through the cave. After about a half hour of finding no discovery, Jak was beginning to lose hope.

"Are you sure that they are even here?" Daxter whispered.

"I'm sure. This cave is pretty deep." Sig whispered back. Both men jumped into the darkness as soon as they heard footsteps. Jak noticed a female walking around. She had a white lab coat on, which happened to have dark stains.

This sent overwhelming fear throughout Jaks body. He watched as the female took out a communicator and called someone. After a few moments of beeping, someone answered. A male, Jak could tell, because of the deep voice that came out.

"How are things?" The male had asked.

"Almost complete. One last cycle and the experiment will be complete." The female responded. "When will the last cycle be?"

"We've already begun the last cycle."

"How is the test subject taking it?"

"She's taking it…okay, I guess you could say."

Sig noticed that Jaks body had tensed at the mention of what gender the person was.

"Okay? Is something wrong, doctor?" The female sighed and heavily sighed. "Well, she has taken more dark eco than the last test subject."

"More? Is that a bad thing?"

"It is if she goes through a rampage. It would be a massacre!" she informed him. A deep chuckle came form the other end.

"I see. Interesting results, wouldn't you say? She won't break free of the bonds if she transforms, will she?"

The doctor frowned. "I'm no quite sure. We're not sure of how strong she may be. What I do know that she has different powers compared to the last one."

"Explain."

"We've detected magical source of energy. It's not the type of brutality as the last ones. I think it may differ on the gender sir."

"So, the female has magical powers? This should be very interesting. I understand, good report, Doctor." Then there was another beep.

The female sighed heavily. "Why am I doing this? I hate seeing the pain that this girl endures. I wonder what he'll plan if she's not what he expected…"

She began making her way towards the experiment room.

Sig glanced towards Jak and then back at the lady. "You okay, buddy?" Daxter had whispered. Jak was taking a few deep breaths. "They've experimented on Petal…"

"Petal?" Hearing the girl's name shocked Sig. "She died when the city was attacked, didn't the others tell you that?"

"I'll explain later. This is the older Petal. We believe that she have stumbled across a rift gate." Jak answered.

"I…see." Sig answered.

Just as the two were going to investigate the area, they heard a loud ear-piercing scream. Daxter looked towards Jak quickly to see his reaction. One could tell that he was tensed.

Sig growled. "We have to find her now. We don't have any time to waste. I hate to say this, but I sure hope she keeps screaming."

"You and me both." Jak whispered.

Another scream echoed the cave walls. Both rushed towards the direction of the screaming female. After a few minutes, they slid to a stop. There was a silver door with a window. Jak sneaked up towards and window peeked in.

"Aghhh!" a female was seen squirming in her bonds. The female doctor that they had seen earlier was inside. She had a frown across her face as she watched the female scream and squirm around in pain.

Jak looked towards the screaming girl. Her hair wasn't brown. Her eyes weren't brown either. Jak's heart fell. Sig looked at him from the darkness.

"What is the matter?"

"It can't be Petal. Her hair and eyes aren't the same."

"Jak, neither were your looks when they did this to you."

"In some sense, I did still look the same." Jak whispered. Daxter jumped onto his friends shoulder and looked towards her. The screaming had finally stopped and the female lay on the table unconscious.

"Jak, shh! They're gonna say something!" Daxter whispered.

Jak and Sig both went silent as they listened in the conversation.

"Well, the files this girl have are somewhat good. It says her that her name was Petal, but I don't see any real name. Apparently…she worked for the Underground as a child."

A male voice answered. "I find it strange though."

The female doctor looked towards him. "What do you mean?"

"The last one didn't change his appearance, this one did."

"This is only her dark eco form, my friend. Her real appearance hasn't changed. Since we are working with her, her form is in its dark eco form. Once she is awake, her appearance will be normal."

The male was heard sighing heavily. "I sometimes wonder why I'm doing this. I hate seeing someone like this suffer in untold pain. Only she and the first one that went through this could tell us the pain that they have endured."

Jak raised his head a little to look at the two.

"What will happen to her?" The male asked as he turned to his computer to look at some scanning's.

"I'm not quite sure. The boss is coming here tomorrow or later tonight to take her to his quarters. I'm worried of what he may do. If she were to have offspring, it wouldn't surprise me if her children had dark eco in them." The female doctor answered. She walked towards the female.

"I don't know what he'll do. If she stays like this when he comes…" she froze. The male turned to face her. "You think he's going to rape her?"

"He might. If she is complete, then he'll want his offspring to be like her." She sighed. "We can't do anything to protect her. I heavily wish that there was a way to get someone here…someone we could trust…"

"I could easily take that." Jak answered as he leaned against the open door frame. Both figures turned to face him. The male went pale while the female froze. "Your…"

"Yes, I'm Jak. I'm the one that went through this process the first time."

He turned his eyes towards the female who laid unconscious on the cold steel. Wrapping around her frail looking body were just rags.

"Please…don't kill us," the male whimpered.

"I won't kill anyone unless I take this girl away."

The female doctor unfroze. She walked towards Jak. "Mary, what are you doing?"

"Sir…Are you here for your friend?" The doctor named Mary asked

Sig walked up beside Jak. Daxter stood beside his friend's leg. "I have come here for her. What the hell did you do to her?"

Mary frowned as she turned her head towards the girl. "We had no choice. We had no money and we had been threatened. We…pumped dark eco into her body and systems."

Jak glared towards the female doctor. "What?"

The female placed her hands up. "As I have said, we had been threatened to work here. If I knew how, I'd pump all the eco out. Please forgive me. Take her and get out of here. We won't tell. We could easily say that she was far too powerful and broke free."

Jak narrowed his eyes. "Is this some kind of trick?"

The doctor unlocked the chains that held down the female. "No, this is no trick. I've seen enough of this. It sickens me so. Please, take her and get out of here." Sig raised an eyebrow. "If you're so sick from it, why did you even start?"

"I told you, we were threatened and poor in our wallets."

"By what?"

"Both the man who wants this project done and money itself." She answered.

Jak looked towards Sig. "Money is hard to find. Aren't jobs in Haven City terrible?"

Jak nodded towards Sigs question. "Fine, I guess I can understand." Jak grumbled. He wasn't sure about these two. He felt a little sympathy towards the woman. She did seem understanding from what he had seen.

Jak slowly made his way towards the girl, but cautious. Sig leaned against his Pace Maker as he watched the two doctors.

As Jak slowly picked her up, he had noticed a few bruises around her wrists. He had figured that it was from her endless struggles.

"Wait a moment," the female doctor said as she left towards one of the rooms. Jak's eyes had thinned as her watched her leave. She shortly returned with a small package. She walked towards Sig. "It's a dress. It's something that you can allow her to wear. It's the least I could do for her."

Sig gave them a small smile as he took the package. "Thank you very much. Why is someone as kind as you working in such a horrible place? We could offer you a better chance."

She frowned. "As much as I would like that, I can't. Maybe when he goes into prison, but I can't right now. I hope you understand."

Jak walked out, not listening to the rest of the conversation. He wanted to get away from there before anyone else noticed that their 'test subject' was being taken away. "Thanks," Sig smiled towards the female doctor who waved as they left.

"If we're going to make this little lie work, then we better make it look like she fought out." The other doctor said. She looked towards him and nodded. "Of course."

However, she had no clue of the betrayal he had planned for her.

As Jak and Sig made it out, Daxter jumped onto his friends shoulder and looked at her. "This is her Dark eco form?"

Jake slowly nodded. He was upset that she had been injected with Dark eco. Now he would have to teach her how to control it before it killed her.

"Jak?"

Jak didn't reply as he continued to think about her and what she was going to have to go through. "Uh…Jak?"

"Hmmm?"

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah."

As they got into the vehicle, Sig looked towards the girl that Jak held closely. "So, this is Petal."

"Yeah…" Jak stared at her face. "I wonder when she'll wake up."

Sig looked towards the desert. "Well, we better get her back to the city. The faster we get back, the less risk we have of being caught by anyone here."

"Oh god…Please, PLEASE don't!" Daxter yelled. Jak just grinned. "Slam on the brakes and lets go home."

Sig nodded. "Aright, Chili Pepper! Hang onto your hats!"

Jak showed some relief as Sig raced back towards Spargus. Although, he wasn't happy with the fact that his old friend had been injected with Dark eco.

But now, at least he knew that she was safe. Just as they got to the gates of the city, she began to groan and move a little.

"Petal?" Jak quickly asked. He turned his attention towards her as Sig slowly parked the vehicle. He turned his head to watch the female.

Her eyes were twitching and had slowly opened up. Jak stared at her light blue eyes. "Jak…?" As soon as she blinked, her body began to glow dimly. "AHHH!" Daxter screamed as he leaped out of the vehicle.

Once the dim light vanished, Jak stared at her. Her hair was no longer its pink color. Instead it had changed to its original brown color. The eyes that stared at his blue eyes were no longer blue. The eyes that stared back were brown.

Indeed, it was Petal. "Petal!" Jak cried happily as he hugged the female.

She blinked a few times; unsure of what was going on. "What's…going on? Where am I?" she looked towards Sig. "Who are you?"

"Well, Chili Pepper here will give you the details." Sig pointed towards Jak as he got out of the vehicle. She looked towards Jak.

A smile spread across his face. "I'll tell you everything as soon as we get you inside. How do you feel?"

"I…can't move." She whispered. She slowly lifted her head to see the rags that she was in. "I don't really…"

"Shhhh…" Jak interrupted her. "Gimme the girl so that I can't help ya out." A familiar voice chuckled. Jak turned his head to see Kleiver with his arms wide open. Jak slowly stood and managed to get her into his arms.

She frowned and began to whimper. She didn't like the man that held her. As soon as Jak hopped out, he took the girl from him. Kleiver raised an eyebrow. "Who is she? She isn't from Spargus."

"Spargus?"

Ignoring her question, Jak looked towards Kleiver. "A friend of mine from the past."

He nodded slowly and allowed Jak to leave. Daxter jumped onto Jaks shoulder and looked towards the girl who was looking around in amazement. "What is this place? I didn't know there was a city outside Haven…"

Jak couldn't help but smile. He had said the same thing with his father when he first realized where he was.

"How ya feeling?" Daxter asked. She turned her head to look at him and allowed a small smile to come across her face. "I can't believe I'm saying this…but I love seeing you right now. You and Jak…wherever I was…it was dark and scary…and very painful."

Jak's smile faded away into a frown. "That's…why we're going to explain as soon as we get to the palace."

Well, here is the third chapter fixed! Enjoy!
