Chapter 8: A Normal Day...For Blood


Jak was gone when I woke up, which had surprised me. I don't think he was still angry with me, since he wasn't too hesitant to talk to me last night as he was in the morning. Zackary's phone call was what woke me up. Zidane made him apologize for what he did last night, though I hardly cared. It was Zackary; not much you can do about him.

I left the house to go see my girlfriend at work since Torn hadn't called me in for anything yet. I'm sure that Kaiten and Link were at 'work' while the Mousies did their 'jobs' hosting. Really, they were out of my reach until night time so I decided that Tess wouldn't mind my company.

After reaching the building, I walked in to see it empty once more. It was more alive when it was night time. Mostly Krimzon Guards were here at night, that's why I rather not work late but a deal's a deal. My eyes landed on Tess, who was lazily wiping the table. Her bright blue eyes looked up at me and I grinned at her.

"Diana!" Tess said, standing straight with a excited look. She tried to reach for me and I laughed walking over her and grabbed her hands. "It's so boring in the day!" She whined while I sat down on one of the seats, listening.

I sighed, shook her hands. "Don't worry, babe. I have to work at seven today, so you won't be alone." A smirk broke out on my face and I winked at her. "I'll even walk you home if you want." She giggled at me before I placed my forehead to her hands. "Zackary called; saying sorry. But too early in the morning."

"Well, it sounds like something Zidane would do." Tess said, pulling her hands out of my grasp and smiled warmly. "They really care about you, Diana."

I put my forehead on the table. "Hm." Suddenly something jumped onto the table but I was being lazy and chose not to look.

"Hey sugarplum. You new here?" My head turned to see the orange ottsel standing beside my head. I guess he couldn't tell who I was. "Well, whatcha got that's, uh, hot and..." He paused, crossing his arms. "Wait, I've seen you before. You're with the Underground." My head shot up and Tess' eyes widen.

She placed a finger on his mouth and shushed him. "I'm Tess. Torn sent me to spy on Krew. Play along, and I may be able to get my hands on a few of Krew's secrets." The entire time she was talking the ottsel was looking down her shirt with a perverted smile.

Oh Mar he's not wearing pants...

"... I love 'undercover' work, baby!" Daxter placed his hands on his hip and just noticed Jak beside me and jumped. "But ah, two can work better than one. Let me help you out." Tess giggled while the ottsel jumped behind the bar, and hid himself from view.

I stared after Daxter before turning to Jak. "He better not be an alcoholic." I stated making him shrug with an awkward smile. It was rather weird seeing him smile but I guess embarrassment covered it. Bottles were flying from below while Jak glanced at Tess.

"Wait, you were at her house last night?" Jak suddenly recalled seeing the blonde and she nodded.

I grinned. "Well, I guess you couldn't really see her since it was really just a pile of people..." I paused for a second at Jak confused face. "It was supposed to be a giant family hug. Well, from what Zack was singing." Tess giggled again until Krew came flying beside us.

"Jak," The fat man started. "I need you and the talking rat to go around and make a few collections for me." I guess since I technically work for him, I'm gonna hear this kind of stuff anyway. Tess had a bored expression on but she was actually listening.

Daxter showed himself back into view, looking drunk. "Hey there, five chins... how's crimes?" He words were slurred but clear. I bit my lip to stop from laughing while Jak let out a silent chuckle.

"What's his problem, 'ey?" Krew looked rather pissed.

The ottsel glared at him, though it seemed more of a drunken look. "Nothin'... I'm just fine... " He hiccupped. "Mind your own business..." He fell onto his back upon the surface of the bar. "I sometimes feel so very..." He started to sing.

What was with drunken people and singing?

"Listen," Krew continued while Jak turned to him with a amused smirk on. "I have six 'clients' around town who are about to make money drops for me. I need you to collect each moneybag as fast as you can and 'take care' of any guards who get curious." Might as well say kill 'em, since I think Jak would want to anyway. "Get to a moneybag too late and some townie might pick it up."

Daxter suddenly sat up. "...DRRYY!" He sang loudly, making everyone turn to him. The ottsel looked drowned but glanced up at the fat man. "You know what's da trouble with you Krew? You got no vision..." He hiccupped. "This place could be a real swingin' joint... Hop Heg Hiven with more dancin', more mac'n, more women!" He gestured to Tess and I. "Jak knows what I'm talkin' about!"

"Just collect all 14 moneybags before they disappear and bring them back here." Krew chose to ignore the ottsel this time while Daxter suddenly jumped on Jak and tried to kiss Jak who was pushing him away with his hand. Daxter kept saying 'I love you man!' "If you lose even one bag, then don't come back, 'ey!" The fat man warned while the ottsel hugged him.

After he walked out the door, I burst out laughing and clutched onto my stomach. Jak had left his drunken friend here with us he was now on the table talking to Tess. I took a deep breath and wiped away my tears before sitting back at the stool.

"Well, Daxter..." I started, coughing a little. "You have your way with words." I snickered again while Tess giggled. The ottsel turned to me and stared. I don't know but it was kind creeping me out. "Lighting...?"

Daxter suddenly jumped on me. He mouth was flapping about something but it was too slurred for me to know what he was saying. I glanced at Tess who shrugged, shaking her head. "Looooves yoooou...!" He abruptly hugged me and I patted his back.

"Um...thanks?" I said, though it sounded like more of a question.

The ottsel laid there for a while before I realized he was sleeping. Tess was scratching the back of his ears and I picked him up, placing his on the table. A loud snore erupted from the little animal, making my girl friend giggle and she continued to scratching the ottsel.

"I got get some air, babe." I told her, and scooped up Daxter. She looked disappointed. "Can't leave a BAMF's best friend; rule number one." Tess nodded, but still looked a little sad. "I'll be back, hon. Don't worry." I winked at her and she smiled.

Walking over to the door, I went head first into chest. "Maybe you should watch were you're going, Diana." I rubbed my forehead with one hand and looked up. Jak was smirking down at me and I grinned sheepishly.

"Psh." I scowled at him, still grinning. "Young people these days." He rolled his dark blue eyes at me but moved from the door way. I walked out and he followed after me. "So what are you gonna do now?" I glanced up at him.

He shrugged nonchalantly. "We were going to see Onin." I stared at him before recalling Ashelin's comment to him before she left in her cruiser.

"Mind if I stalk you there?" I asked him while he raised his eyebrow at my choice of words but said nothing. "I'll take that as I yes." A grin broke out on my face as the BAMF shook his head at me.

Most of the walk there was silent but we had a few chats in between. He was actually shy I think...or awkward with girls. Ah, it's a little boy thing I guess. I didn't comment on it, rather choose to ignore it. I was happy enough to say he wasn't angry with me anymore. I guess the ottsel did say something to him then.

Speaking of the animal, he was still fast asleep in my arms. He sometimes squirmed or snored loudly but it only caused me to laugh while Jak would shake his head smiling.

I didn't pry for personal questions; didn't want him to get angry with me again. I just really wanted to about him but I guess it was a touchy subject for Jak. Even if he did look a little sadistic when he grinned at me, his pearly fangs practically was shouting 'I'm gons kills you', I really wondered. If he had his own mind; would it only be about blood or is it more than--

"It's supposed to be around here." Jak cut off my thoughts and I shook my head. It was a giant tent right at the corner. We looked at each other before standing at the door way. I poked my head in and glanced around while Jak just made his way in.

The first thing that caught my eye was a monkey-parrot hanging on a rope. "What in the..." I went to touch it but he squawked making me jump. "Gah!" Jak kept me from falling and stopped himself from laughing. I stood up straight as the monkey-parrot flew over to a woman at the other side of the tent, and sat on top of her large hat.

...It looked more like a bowl.

"I am Pecker!" The animal said while Jak tried to cover his laugh with a few coughs. "Yes, yes, I know, my mother, she was... very vindictive." Pecker shook his head. "I am Onin's interpreter." The woman, being Onin, gave out various hand gestures and magical blue auras around her.

I had no clue what she was saying.

Was she blind and couldn't talk?

Not trying to be rude, but whatever.

"Onin welcomes you, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah... the usual boring salutations." Clearly, Pecker is rather annoyed with repeating things. "She says it is good to see you again, Jak."

Jak crossed his arms and furrowed his brows. "But we've never met before." He stated as Pecker shrugged.

"Before... after... it is all the same." The bird-monkey said while just stared at the woman. Just who was she to know Jak's name let alone know him? "Onin says you seek answers..." He squawked. "About the Tomb of Mar."

Okay, that's it. She was so physic.

The blonde nodded. "So what do we need to know?"

"She's going on and on about mystical energy channels, evil curses, stupid ooooooo crap." As he said this, Onin looked really into her visual speech. "Forget all that! I'm gonna sum this up quickly, because now you're cutting into my siesta time."

I stifled my laugh while Jak suppressed his amused smirk. "Siesta...?"

"Onin wants you to recover three artifacts from the Precursor Mountain Temple." Pecker chose to ignore me. "Not two!" Onin held up to fingers shaking her head. "Not four!" She held up four, shaking her head again. "Three!" The old woman held up three nodding. "Use the Warp Gate at the northwest side of the city, and bring back the three items you find!" He shooed us away.

As soon as I walked out the tent, I started to laugh trying not to drop Daxter. "Well that was...interesting." Jak seemed to agree with me, though he never said it. "I need to get my stuff at home if I'm going with you." I told him.

BAMF langue: He turned to stare at me with a raised eyebrow.

Translation: Then go, stupid.

He followed me home, and I unlocked my door. Going into my room, I placed the ottsel on my bed before I went to my closet and moved my clothes to the side. Some one whistled from behind me and I jumped. Jak was leaning against the door frame and I stared at him.

"I didn't think you were much of a gun collector."

Oh...whistled at the guns.

....Damn.

"Yeah..." I trailed off, turning back to my collection before pulling out my two daggers and two pistols. I'm not entirely sure how many Metal Heads were in the mountains since I've never been in that area. Only for a few seconds before I went into Haven Forest. After I put on my guns and daggers in their holsters I turned to him. "Ready?"

Before he could say anything, there was a loud groan from my bed. Daxter sat up, holding his head tightly. "Ow..." He whined as I snickered at him. He was just like Zackary; they could not hold his liquor. I walked over to my bathroom and grabbed a small box. Going back to the room, I sat beside the ottsel.

"Lean your head back." I told him in a soft tone as he just dropped back on the bed. I snickered before opening the box and grabbing some of the green powder from the box and sprinkled it on his head. He sneezed as I put the lid back on. "The Shadow gave this to me. It was when Zack had a very important mission but couldn't even get up because of his hangover."

I picked Daxter up and faced Jak. "So you do know the Shadow..." He murmured and I grinned at him.

"You will soon." I told him while he blinked at me. "C'mon lets go get those artifacts!"


The city gate opened while we approached it, letting us through. Daxter felt better by the time we had got here. Usually it takes longer but I guess it was because I used it on such a small person. The warp gate on the other side was active. Jak was the first to go through with Daxter. I followed after. It took us to the ledge much higher than us.

An old precursor platform was upside down so Jak shot it. I thought it was gonna break but apparently he knew what he was doing since it flipped up right. He jumped onto it and jumped over to the other side. The platform turned under again. I mimicked his tactics and reached the other side. Another precursor platform was there but much larger. After we stood on it , it started to move downwards. I walked over to the ledge to see some Metal Heads prowling around.

As soon as the lift stopped at the bottom, I aimed my gun at the Melt Head and shot it directly where its heart was supposed to be. It cried out and fell to the floor, dying. The two other ones got alerted as their comrade fell. They started to move closer to us in a slow jog. Or that was how fast they actually were. Jak pulled out his blaster gun and shot at the first on running towards us. It flipped and landed on it's back, turning into dark eco. The last one Jak and I shot at the same time, by accident of course.

Unexpectedly, dark eco bullets shot at us from our right and caused us to duck. My eyes trailed over to the Metal Head who was laughing. He was hiding behind a large blue shield. I scowled but moved away from the other attack while Jak did the same. We were on opposite sides of the wall. I held my pistol up and turned a little at the corner, almost getting hit. The only way to shoot him would be after or right before he attacks. I rolled out into the opening as the Metal Head raised his dun to fire. I shot it in the chest but it still shot at me. I bolted out the way and shot it from it side. With a cry it fell to the ground and I let out a sigh.

"I forgot you were fast, toots." Daxter commented while Jak walked over me.

I grinned at him. "I do too sometimes-- watch out!"

I shot down a frog looking Metal Head with my gun before it could jump at us. Jak noticed more coming down and he shot at them as well. After we were sure there wasn't anymore, we walked forwarded and jumped towards the upper ledge. There was a lower one with an old precursor button. If we jumped down there was no way of getting back up. I jumped down and noticed there was nothing else here.

"Well that's odd..." I muttered to myself until I heard a loud thud and I jumped. Daxter suddenly yelled and I looked up at him. "What's up?" I called and he shakily pointed behind me. A loud Metal Head roared behind me and I turned around. "Oh...shit..."

It was giant. Horns about on every part of its body. Its blazing yellow eyes glared darkly at me. It kicked the dirt under its hind legs and charged at me. My eyes widen but barely got out the way. I wasn't expecting it. It turned right around and charged again. I dashed around it and it skidded to a stop. It growled at me and let out a roar, pushing itself in the air, exposing it' stomach.

That's it!

It charged at me again but this time I ran towards it. Daxter started yell about me being crazy. Maybe just a little. Before we could collide, I went down and slid underneath it, shooting its stomach in the process. It let out a groan while I jumped up from behind it and kept a distance. It skidded to a stop and turned to roar at me, pushing itself in the air again. I shot it again and it fell to the side, dissolving into dark eco. I guessed Jak would pick up its Skull Jem like the others.

I walked over to the button and stepped on it. A platform pushed through the other ledge, letting us gain access to jump up there. Jak had jumped down and followed at me. Daxter kept commenting on what I just did. I didn't mind though; desperate measures call for desperate situations.

We were reacquainted with another Metal Head with a shield. This time, Jak took it out in mere seconds. Showing off his BAMF-ness, perhaps. Either way, we proceeded down the path. I noticed that there were some platforms stuck in the path but ignored it. We reached a dead end.

"Well, this is just great." Daxter jumped off Jak's shoulder and onto on of the plat forms. "Where are we supposed to go now?" He whined, clearly annoyed since he pounded his foot on the floor. Suddenly the path crumbled to the forest below us and the platforms started moving around with Daxter on one of them. "AH!"

I started to laugh at him while Jak smirked. "Well, there's one way." I hopped on the first platform, picking up the ottsel and jumping towards the other two before I was solid ground. Jak was right behind me.

...Psh. I wish.

Moving on, we came across another upside down platform and did the same tactics. However the next one was rather odd. It was a narrow bridge, moving from side to side with these large suspenders blocking us from walking forward. We had to jump over them, making sure not to fall. Jak went first and got threw it with ease. Daxter climbed on my shoulder and I followed after Jak. As soon as I landed, Metal Head frogs jumped out from the water near the water fall. Jak and I shot them down.

Metal Heads hear us from the other side and called out to their 'homies'. I jumped onto the platforms in the water, since I really didn't want to get wet, and began to shoot them down as they ran closer to us. While Jak picked up the Skull Jems, I peered around the corner to see another one of the shield Metal Heads. I came into the clearing and it instantly shot at me. I moved out of the way and shot it in the head, twice. It dropped to the floor, and I noticed a button that was behind it.

I stepped onto the button and two platforms busted out of the walls that cornered us. To my surprise, Jak was already jumping up on the platforms before me. I followed him and we landed on the top. As soon as Jak landed, frog Metal Heads jumped out and he whipped out his Scatter gun. He killed them all before I could even take out my pistol. He headed over to the platforms suspended on the water and into the old precursor building.

I just then noticed a lens of some sort and a light shinning down on it. "That's some peeper, huh?" Daxter stated as he and Jak walked closer to the light. I really didn't want to go close to that thing. Upon stopping, Daxter started sniffing. "Something's cooking?"

My eyes widened. "Uh...Daxter..." He didn't even hear me.

"Hmm, kinda smells like..." He looked behind him and saw his tail on fire. "Burnt Ottsel!?" He started running across the room with pain. As that happened, the platform that Jak stood on started to turn, leaving the lens to fall gently. Finally, Jak took a hold of the lens and placed it in his grasp. At the same time, the fire was put out from Daxter's tail.

I walked over to him. "You okay, Lighting?" My eyes glanced over to his tail wasn't even burnt at the end.

"Never better." Daxter replied sarcastically before getting up from the floor. I snickered at his annoyed attitude and noticed a precursor platform at the side.

I wonder..."I think that can..." I trailed off seeing Jak already on it while Daxter walked towards him. "I get the feeling you know this stuff already. "A smirk appeared on his face as he shrugged.

"I guess you could say that."

The platform started to move downwards as soon as I put both feet on it. It took us to a larger precursor building, except there were little Metal heads in it. They didn't see us as we crept quietly inside before shooting them all down. There was just too many Metal Heads in this area. I noticed there were two separate pathways.

"Hey, Jak..." His ocean blue eyes flicked over to me. "I think we should split up." I stated as he stared at me with a raised eyebrow. "Daxter should stay here; where it's safe from all the Metal Heads and hold onto the lens while we get the other two. This way would be quicker."

Daxter had paled about the Metal Head part. "I-I think she right, Jak." He immediately agreed with me while I fought the urge to grin. "That way we could go to the Tower quicker." Well, I had no idea what he was talking about but clearly Jak did.

"...Fine."Jak placed the lens in Daxter's paws. He was hesitant, but he agreed. He started to walk towards the right pathway but not before looking back at us.

Daxter let out a sigh of relief. "You saved me toots."

"Just make sure you're move in that area since we killed all the Metal Heads there." I told him, pointing over to the original path we took to get here. He lazily waved his hand at me before trotting over to the large precursor lift. "And don't leave us!" I yelled after him with a grin.

My path had some old lifts. I jumped to each one without falling. Once I landed on the solid ground, there was that loud thud again and a giant Metal Head broke out of the mountain. It let out a roar before charging me. I dashed around it as it skidded to a stop and turned around. Roaring, it stood on its hind legs. I shot it with both of my pistols and his fell back on all four, glaring. It didn't charge me though, it just glared. I tilted my head in confusion before it abruptly broke into a run. My eyes widened as I rolled out the way, barely dodging it. It turned around and charged again. This time I jumped in the air, causing it to look up at me. Some of it stomach was exposed so I shot it with both my pistols. It let out its final cry before dropping to the side and fading into dark eco. Its Skull Gem fell to the floor and I walked over to it.

'Might as well keep it for him.' I reached over to grab it and my body froze as my eyes widened in fear. There were screams of agony from the gem but it wasn't from a Metal Head... it almost sounded human. I shook my head and grabbed the gem, placing it in my bag. 'Well, that was weird... who the heck was screaming like that? Could it have been the people it had killed...or even itself?'

Scowling to myself, I pressed the button in the middle of the field and some platforms popped out the wall beside me. I couldn't believe I would think that they would have thoughts. Then again, he apparently had his own mind all together. Maybe it was the same concept but just one single...stupid mind. After I jumped up, a few more Metal Heads jumped me and I shot them all down, collecting their Skull Gems. I suddenly found myself standing on a ledge with boulders falling from across me, hitting the ledge's wall. A smirk formed on my face.

'Too easy.'

Speed was my forte after all. I jumped down, dashing out the way of boulders and started to follow the path the boulders fell opposite of. There were a few leaps that were tricky because of the timing but I could handle it. I even found a green eco box in some bushes. A small boulder hit my shoulder slightly. Nothing to harsh. I landed at the top, rather proud of my un-human speed. I found a couple more upside down platforms and used the same tactic Jak used the first time. I jumped on them and landed on lower grounds. I turned around a path and noticed a large old precursor machine.

I walked towards it, examining it for a while. The gear I needed was right in front of me, but I wonder what would happen if I took it? "Oh well!" I said aloud before pulling the gear out and the machine stopped. I shrugged and began to walk over to the precursor lift until I heard everything drop behind me. "I didn't do it!" I shouted before jumping on the lift and moved away from the 'accident'. It landed in the old precursor building again but I didn't see Jak or Daxter.

Oh, they did not ditch me.

I started to look around for them. My eyes landed on what I thought to be lightening from the path Jak had took. I walked over to the path to see nothing. It was completely empty. Suddenly, I heard something behind me and I reached to pull out my gun but it was smacked out of my hand. My violet eyes met gold until I was roughly shoved to the ground. I tasted dirt but I got up anyway. Subconsciously, I was rubbing my hand from the painful hit it took before I looked up at the Metal Head only to see it on the floor covered in...Metal Head blood? When the hell did they have blood!? The blood should instantly turn to dark eco unless some one absorbed the dark eco before it died....

My eyes gazed higher up to see....him.

He didn't even notice me as I stood up. I didn't want him too. He was too occupied with the blood dripping from his black claw like nails. A whelp escaped my lips as I saw him lick off the red ooze from his claws. His pure black eyes flickered over to me mid-lick. He just stared at me before putting his hand down slowly. I instantly moved back a step, carefully watching him. His eyes were filled with pure sadistic amusement. He started to step towards me with a grin; a grin I knew too well from our pervious encounter. I kept walking backwards until I felt my back hit the solid wall behind me. His grin grew wider then I thought it could go. He lifted his right hand towards me and my violet eyes widened in pure fear. My entire body froze under his gaze and I could feel all the color drain from my face.

I couldn't scream.

I couldn't run.

I couldn't move.

I couldn't do anything as he raised his claws to my cheek, his eyes never leaving mine and mine never leaving his. Slowly, he began to stroke my cheek gentle with his claws. After every stroke, he would press harder. Until finally, he pierced my skin. He stopped and pulled his hand away from cheek.

I wanted to scream.

I wanted to run.

I wanted to move.

But I watched him.

I watched him bring his tongue to his fingers.

I watched him lick away my blood from his fingers.

My blood leaked from the wound and down to my chin, until it hit the floor. His black eyes turned back to before moving both his hands to my forearms. He held them gently before digging his sharp 'nails' into them. A little cry escaped my lips as he dragged his claws down my arms and then pulled his hands away. My head was feeling faint and I slid down to my knees. The blood wouldn't stop following out of me. I was suddenly found in a puddle of my own blood that was growing slowly.

There was a chuckle.

The chuckle turned into a laugh.

The laugh had gotten louder.

My vision started to get hazy as the laugh continued to echo in my head.

Then... I fell in darkness.


The end of Chapter 8! W-o-W! JD had to go a little sadistic, ne? Anyway, I wonder how Diana will survive this one!
By the way, since no one has yet to name Dark Jak... everytime they are talking about him the 'he', 'him', 'his' will be in italic.
Hope you liked this chapter!
