plot changes and Gwyneira belongs to me


Chapter 11 – Final Distance

I jumped out of the vent and luckily but also unluckily I landed on Daxter. He yelled as he sprayed some green smoke in front of my face as I jumped off of him. I coughed as Daxter blinked and finally spoke after I calmed down.

"Err sorry about that, I thought you were a bug," he scratched the back of his head.

"It's ok and I'm sorry I jumped on you, I was aiming to land in front of you,"

Then there was silence as the two of us just starred at each other. It was weird finally seeing him face to face. He was a little taller then me and wasn't wearing any clothes. I don't really think clothes are necessary for ottsel to wear but I wore them anyway, Daxter on the other hand doesn't.

"Hey you're the girl who was hanging onto that guys shoulder," Daxter peeped up, "hey I'm doing my job just like I said I was going to do," he defended himself, bless.

"No, no. I know you're doing your job I just wanted to talk to you," I said raising my hands to my chest to show him I mean him no harm.

"Oh really? Then why are you following me?"

"Because Erol told me to and like he said he'd be watching," I answered honestly.

"Ok so what'd you want to talk about, 'because you know I'd rather be …" he paused to think.

"Flirty isn't your forte is it Daxter?"

"HEY!" he shouted causing me to jump a little, "how'd you know my name?"

I relaxed, "Jak told me," I smiled.

"Jak!" he gasped and then glared at me.

"What?" I blinked.

"So then toots, what's your name?" he tried to flirt with me again.

"Gwyneira," I introduced, "look I haven't got much time Erol will most likely be on to me soon to check up on your progress," I paused to look around, "I want to help you free Jak but obviously I can't just take you to him,"

"And why do you want to help him huh? You're probably the one who threw him in there," he paused, "hey you know you were there that day, I remember," he pointed a finger at my chest and got in my face, "if you hurt my buddy in any form I'm going to hurt you,"

"I haven't done anything to hurt Jak I swear," I paused and looked down, "but right now we need to save Jak before any more harm does come to him," I said sadden.

"Any more harm!" he shouted.

"Look do you want to free him or not?" I shouted back.

"Of course I do, Jak's my buddy and I'd do anything to help him," he backed down obviously remembering his best friend. I envy their friendship. I wish I had a friend I could relay on.

"Oh before I start, can you confirm something for me?"

"What?" he raised an eyebrow.

"Were you at the tanker a few days ago and spoke to something," I paused, "I think you named it Tik,"

"Yeah I was there, how'd you know that?"

"Well because I was there also, but I hid … I tried to confront you then but you disappeared quicker then I expected,"

"Ok so this is why we're in this situation," Daxter said as I nodded.

"Anyway, I'm on my way to Erol's office now and I want you to follow,"

"What?" he shouted.

"hear me out ok," he nodded, "I'm going to go and ask him if I can have the paper works to do with Jak, when he gets them I want you to hide as best you can, when he has the paper works and puts them on the desk I'm going to tap my tail three times," I held up three fingers, "onto the desk, I then want you to do something, I can't very well distract Erol and hand over the papers to you, so you're going to have to figure that one out,"

"Hmmm I could think of something," Daxter rubbed his chin for a while, "I got it," he piped up.

"You ready to go?" I asked.

"Yeah I sure am," he nodded as I led him to Erol's office. We walked in silence before he spoke to me, "hey Gwyneira?"

"Yes Daxter,"

"Why are you doing this?"

"Because I hated what they did to Jak, I've been completely against it for whole time Jak's been here. He … he's a good man and an innocent man and I don't understand why they're doing this to him," I looked at Daxter, tears coming to my eyes but they never fell, "I want Jak to be free and he knows I want him to be free, I just don't know how to free him, that's why I've been searching for you,"

"Gwyneira," he whispered as he hugged me, I didn't hug back for a while as I got confused, as this is the first time I've been hugged. Usually it's me giving the hugs to which no one returns so this scared me. I soon got over it as I hugged him back, "thank you,"

"Your welcome," I patted his back, "come on let's go," I smiled as he smiled back.

I ran into Erol's office and jumped onto the desk as Daxter ran under the table, I hadn't planned on Veger being here.

"Dark Eco is a dangerous toy you're playing with Erol. This map of the prison shows five inmates who have been exposed to this disgusting dark eco. All have died save one." Veger said talking to Erol as Erol looked at me and nodded to acknowledge me, "Your weapons program is a failure"

I looked down to the table to see that the papers on Jak were already out, I tapped my tail three times on the desk and Erol looked at me as I smiled.

"Count Veger you simply have no faith. This Jak person shows promise" he ran his hand over the paper work, "The old hag, Onin says he's special" so that's what he went to talk to Onin for that day almost two years ago.

Just then something bounced onto the table, "Tik Tik!" the thing jumped up and down.

"What was that?" Erol said looking around as I screamed and pointed to Tik's location.

"Ah! Bugs! I hate bugs!" Veger tried to swipe to the bug away but swipes the whole document off with it, "They're everywhere these days. Now... what was I saying? Oh yes. Light eco is the key!"

I noticed that Daxters' hand reached out to grab the document as I smiled, knowing I had succeeded in this part.

"If we can find the secret of the precursors, we..."

"The secret is fear. And turning our warriors into weapons with dark eco. We need something powerful to defeat the metal heads" Erol interrupted Veger.

"It will be your downfall. These ecofreaks will not save us!" Veger protested.

I then saw Daxter run out of the room. He turned to hide and look at me as I winked at him, wishing him good luck. He smiled and stuck out a thumbs up before disappearing.

Go and free Jak, Daxter. I know you can do it.
