Chapter 11: Jak vs. Metal Kor, again
Note: For those with weak stomachs please skip to "time skip: 40 minutes later" after Skyler kills the Metal Head because even though I wrote it, it made me sick, but if you want read at your OWN RISK!
After they all had a night's sleep and breakfast (excluding Skyler who never seem to eat except when tearing Metals apart) they headed towards the League outpost near the old Metal Head Nest. The three who had been there before looked at the now ruins, while Skyler seemed on edge. Suddenly a familiar voice, even to Skyler, spoke.
"Well hello, my young friends. Long time no see!" the last part was growled out. Turning around the four saw Kor, but in his human form looking like he did 10 years ago.
"Kor?! How-" asked a startled Jak as Daxter changed into Dark Daxter, Naruto got on the defensive, and Skyler went raptor.
"Now, now, my friends. I have come with a warning not revenge. My minions tell me you destroyed the Day Star years ago, but the Dark Makers are returning and I for one will help you destroy them, but it will only be a temporary truce, so don't get comfortable!" explained Kor and began walking away.
"How do we know we can trust you Metal Head?" asked Dark Dax.
"I may be a Metal Head, but I keep my word." was Kor's reply before he disappeared.
TIME SKIP: THE NEXT DAY
The four were doing a training exercise, "How to not get your butt kicked by Skyler", and the three were failing each time they tried to hit him, he either moved or dodged the attack and the three were getting sore from his hits (they feel like cinder blocks) when suddenly a Metal Head appeared behind him and he threw his fist straight into its gem and they could hear the gem and skull shatter and then Skyler did a spin kick and they heard the neck snap as the kick was delivered and then he put his fist thru the Metal's chest and pulled out its blackish-purple heart and then crushed it in his hand, seeing this the three rushed to the edge of the building and emptied their stomachs. Getting up, the three still felt and looked sick as Skyler disposed of the body but took an arm off and began eating it like a chicken wing which caused the three to go and hurl again.
"Ah, come on! Toughen up guys, besides Metals taste like chicken." was what Skyler said as he approached the sick trio.
"I can't…ugh…believe you can eat them like that." said a sick Jak as the guy kept eating the Metal's arm.
"Well, they're better roasted." was Skyler's reply after which caused the three to hurl again.
"Wimps!" Skyler said under his breath as he took another bite out of the arm.
TIME SKIP: 40 MINUTES LATER
The four were heading towards the New Palace, but were stopped by a sudden beam of dark light at Skyler who instantly clutched his head.
"No…won't…betray…friends…"
"Skyler? What's wrong?" asked Naruto who was getting worried.
"Dark Makers…trying…to turn…me…against…you guys…but…won't…let THEM!" at those words a blast of electricity erupted from Skyler and the three around him instantly had bad hair days.
"Sorry, had to do it so they wouldn't turn me…" he said as he tried to stop himself from laughing at Daxter who now looked like a puff ball.
Suddenly a Dark Precursor robot appeared in front of them (it's a Dark Maker form of a Precursor robot) and a voice spoke from within.
"You three have caused us much pain since that day! And you!" it said as it pointed at Skyler, "With all your power what do you do? Help these pathetic fools and not conquer this world! You are not fit for those powers!"
"I'm more fit for them than you are! AND IF YOU CALL MY FRIENDS "PATHETIC" AGAIN, I'LL MAKE SURE YOU NEVER LIVE TO CONQUER ANOTHER WORLD!" yelled Skyler as he became the dragon-hybrid and grew to actually be twice as big as any Precursor robot around.
"P…A…T…H…E..-" was all the Dark Maker was able to get out before a massive fist hit him in the face and sent him flying towards the Wasteland with an enraged Skyler behind him. The three then went to the Haven Airfield where the Hellcat from their adventure over the Brink was stored, hopped in and went after the two giants.
After arriving in the Wasteland they saw the Dark Maker getting his butt kicked by Skyler who was breathing the acidic greenish-orange fire at the Dark Maker and using his three tails as Gatling guns on the Dark Maker and soon Metal Kor was on the scene as well using his scorpion-like tail to pry the head open and removed the Dark Maker from the cock pit and the three watched as Skyler ripped the Dark Precursor bot to shreds and then returned to normal as Kor met them on the ground.
"See? I kept my word as I promised, but once this Dark Maker is dead, we're enemies again." said Kor as the three approached.
"Let me at him Kor, he's mine." said Skyler as his orange eyes went so red that as soon as the Dark Maker saw them he screamed in pain and begged to be killed by someone else, but was denied his plea and soon found himself in clawed hands and thrown to the ground as Skyler's body once again changed but this time into something that even made Kor afraid of the enemy he faced.
Skyler's face changed into that of a dragon's, as his body grew to be as big as Kor's and his arms grew spikes that glimmered with Stabilized Dark Eco and electricity, his back spikes started sending out streaks of lightning and Stabilized Dark Eco, as his eyes burned at the Dark Maker, the Dark Maker was screaming for someone to finish him, but was ignored by the trio's and Kor's shock at this, suddenly Skyler breathed fire at the Maker, but it had both Dark Eco, lightning, and the acidic greenish orange in it which covered the Maker and caused him to scream even more and then Skyler jumped into the air and brought out a huge ball of concentrated Dark Eco and slammed it down full force on the Maker which caused a huge explosion causing the three to shield their eyes with Kor shielding them with his tail and covering his eyes as sand blasted them from the explosion. When the sand died down they saw a raptor-hybrid Skyler clawing at the Maker's fossilized remains with the same burning red in his eyes, Kor then turned into his human form and was afraid.
"I suggest we leave this place and I won't bother you for a while." motioning for the three to leave Skyler to alone as he continued to attack the fossilized Maker. The three along with Kor went into the Hellcat and flew away.
"Never in my life have I seen someone so…aggressive. Not even when he destroyed one of my outposts, years before you three, was he like that." said Kor with noticeable fear in his voice.
TIME SKIP: THE NEXT DAY
Skyler walked in looking exhausted and also confused. He walked up to the counter and sat down, Naruto walked over and put a hand on his shoulder.
"What happened…after…Kor got the Dark Maker…?" asked Skyler.
"Don't you remember? You turned into some kind of monster and fossilized him!" said Daxter.
"All I remember is grabbing the Maker from Kor then…nothing…"
"Please don't tell me you have another Rage-like character in you." said Naruto with fear in his eyes and voice.
"No, I don't kid. But that was one of my more powerful forms, but I guess he enraged me so much I don't remember much of it." replied Skyler who looked hurt.
"Kor called he wants us to fight him at the ruined Nest." came Jak's voice as he entered the room, looking serious.
"He also wants you there too, Skyler." continued Jak.
After arriving at the ruined Nest, they saw Metal Kor waiting for them. Suddenly the fight was on between Jak, Dark Dax, and Naruto vs. Metal Kor at first they seemed to be winning, but they Kor hit Naruto sending him head first into a rock instantly knocking him out and Skyler who was waiting for the right moment saw this and got really mad.
"Kor you….AAAAHHHH!" yelled Skyler as a symbol suddenly appeared on the back of his neck and he fell to his hands and knees and started to change again.
Naruto was losing consciousness and saw Skyler's neck glowing and then saw him change. Skyler's head turned into that of a dragon, his body grew longer and he sprouted wings that arced lightning off the tips, and 3 tails came out, and the last thing Naruto saw was a huge greenish-orange scaled dragon lifting off the ground before he lost consciousness.
Skyler flew up into the air and breathed Dark Eco fire around Kor, who didn't feel like getting burned, and landed next to Naruto and nudged him a little and then an angry roar escaped him and charged Kor who wasn't expecting it and pinned Kor to rocks and impaled Kor with his three tails thru the chest and put his strong jaws around Kor's neck and twisted his neck halfway around and then let Kor drop dead. Turning around he advanced towards Jak who was helping Naruto up, but the fox was still unconscious, and returned to normal and looked at his friend's head and saw blood, but was interrupted when he heard a voice he really hated.
"HAHAHAHA! I know you want him to live but I'll break you by killing him then this world will be MINE by taking over your body! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!" yelled Rage, but soon found himself pinned to rocks by spears fired from a gun Skyler had brought out.
"Get him out of here Jak. I've got some unfinished business to attend to." and with those words Skyler brought out a red flaming skull in his right hand and a Dark Eco ball in his left and combined the two with lightning and then closed his hands and then opened them, but the skull was now Dark Eco flamed and then Skyler crushed it and his hand had Dark Eco flames on it. He then charged at Rage and jumped in the air (imagine this like Altair from Assassin's Creed jumping to do a high-profile kill), and brought the fist into Rage's face and then…
LOCATION CHANGE: OUTSIDE THE RUINED NEST
Outside Dark Dax and Jak were carrying Naruto away when the whole Nest just exploded behind them the two turned around to see the fiery explosion consume the whole structure. They then noticed Skyler emerging from underneath rubble and then crush a skull in his hand. Jak ran over to him before the guy collapsed and the only words that escaped Skyler's mouth were, "That blast should have killed me too…",and then he was out.
TIME SKIP: 2 DAYS LATER
Naruto woke up in the Haven Medical Facility and stretched until his feet hit something looking down there he saw Skyler, in his raptor-hybrid form, curled up like a dog and also purring. Laughing to himself quietly he looked at Skyler's neck brushing a few of the black dread locks and his eyes went wide at what he saw, a symbol of a dragon and a fox surrounded by a circle and then his mind went back to when he had first seen that symbol, on a wall somewhere a long time ago with the picture of a man with black dreadlocks and another picture showed the man's neck and the symbol and underneath was writing in Precursor "Fox Dragon". Shaking his head he looked at his friend and noticed greenish-orange fur was starting to come out on the tail. The fox couldn't believe it. Getting up he walked a ways away and began to think while he heard the purring still coming from Skyler, then Naruto remembered something from two days ago, Skyler had changed into a greenish-orange dragon and had noticed some fur on the tails before passing out. He then heard a raptor-like yawn and turned around to see Skyler waking up and scratching his ears with his legs and noticed his ears were now more like his own, but with the greenish-orange coloring and Naruto began to wonder how come these changes happened when they fought Kor and then he realized that Skyler was protective of him, he never let Krew get near him, he seemed cautious towards everyone except Jak and Dax and he also pushed him out of the Dark Eco crystal's way.
"How're you feeling kit?" asked Skyler.
"Fin-wait. What'd you say?" asked Naruto who hadn't heard the last part clearly.
"How're you feeling kid?" repeated Skyler.
"Fine…" replied Naruto still confused about what his friend had said when he noticed that instead of the usual one tail out he had all three and all seemed to be covered in a small amount of the greenish-orange fur.
"Come on. We got to get back to Daxter's bar." said Skyler after he had walked halfway through the door.
At the bar everything was quiet except for the three talking upstairs while Skyler hung from the ceiling in his usual place.
"Guys I'm telling you there's something weird going on here with Skyler, I noticed that he has all three tails out now and his ears are now like a fox's, and I think he called me "kit" instead of "kid", but corrected himself when he repeated the question." said Naruto as the two were shocked at what he told them.
"Hey, Jak, remember in the Forbidden Temple in Sand Over? That symbol was there." said Dax after a long pause.
"Yeah. Under the symbol was writing…what was it…"Beware the Fox Dragon when the Fox is in Danger." was Jak's reply. Suddenly Naruto's eyes went wide…
FLASHBACK
A young fox-tailed, fox-eared blond was running through the ruins of a village trying to get away from the green eyed creatures that wanted to hurt him when the ground beneath him gave way causing him to fall and believing he would plummet to his death closed his eyes but instead found himself in a clawed hand and lifted to safety.
"Climb on kit." came a voice. Looking at the creature he saw it was a fox-eared dragon with greenish-orange scales and greenish-orange fur covering its three metal-tipped tails. Upon the green-eyed creatures turning the corner he saw Dark Eco fire erupt from the creature's mouth killing 15 of the creatures and slicing 4 more into pieces with its claws, the finally one got its head bitten off and swallowed by the dragon. Turning its head to the right, the young blond saw a scar on its right eye.
"What's your name kit?" asked the dragon.
"Naruto" replied the young blond.
"Mine is Skyler, kit." replied the dragon…
END FLASHBACK
Naruto shook his head and looked at the two in front of him.
"I think Skyler's been around since I was a kid." said Naruto after a few minutes.
"Go and ask him then." said Daxter as he jumped onto Jak's shoulder with a grin on his face.
Walking downstairs he saw Skyler hadn't moved and the tails were wrapped around him, he was front of Skyler and then his friend leapt down from the ceiling and spoke.
"Alright kit, you got me. I was around since you were little and I'm actually as old as I say and I'm also from a different universe, but I'm not gonna leave here any time soon. You've grown on me and so has this world, sure its incomplete and in ruins in some areas, but its still a nice place besides how can I leave someone who I can pick on and protect?" were words Skyler spoke as he gave the blond a noggie and Jak and Daxter watched as the two began to wrestle but were soon pulled into it as well and when they were done Dax was on the bottom with Jak on top of him pinning him with Naruto pinning Jak and Skyler pinning them with a foot.
"Aw man! No fair! You three are four times as big me!" complained Daxter as he struggled to get free while the other three were laughing, but their fun was cut short by Torn over their comm-links.
"Guys! We got a problem. A new KG War Factory is moving towards the city, but when I ask if any of the KG with us know about it they just shrug at the question. So you guys are gonna check it out." said Torn.
"You guys go ahead, I'll make sure you'll get out clean." said Skyler as he removed his foot.
A while later the three were inside the factory and Daxter getting bored leaned against a gun rack that tipped over and had a domino effect on the rest of the racks until they hit the alarm button.
"DAXTER!" yelled Jak as the alarm blared and sounds of footsteps approached.
"Uh, Oh…." said Daxter.
