I don't know how long I was flying along but I know it was a lot. I wouldn't stop pushing myself farther and farther though. It felt too good and I don't know what kind of lead Jak has on me. I was flying towards the temple when I spotted the Dune Hopper speeding towards the city. 'JAK!' I screamed in my head with glee. I lowered down behind them and grabbed the bar on the back of the Dune Hopper. I used it to climb my way to the passenger seat. With a sigh of relief for being able to rest my tired wings.
"Sup guys!" I shouted at them. Jak jumped in his seat and looked to me. His eyebrows shot up and he took his goggles off to take a good look at me.
"Jackie! Your no longer all dark and scary!" Daxter said jumping down onto my lap. "Nice pair of wings you got there. OOO! What are these things on your head?" Daxter asked taking hold of one of the two white antennas like things on my head. I myself really didn't pay them no mind. I had other things to worry about, like kicking some dark machine butt. They were mainly white but random spots of color would fade in and out here and there. To test out what I could do with it I moved so it would wrap around Daxter's waist and lifted him up. "Whoa! Put me down, I'm so through being man handled by you!" Dax said.
"Ehh they look cool and they seem like they could become useful." I said letting Dax back down on my lap.
"Yeah? Onin did this?" Jak asked putting back on his goggles.
"Yeah, sorry for being late. I guess I fell asleep while she fixed me up. I'm complete now! I am now the Ultimate sage of the six eco types!" I said with excitement.
"Sounds like a big deal. You ready to kick some serious butt then?" Daxter asked me grinning ear to ear. I smiled down at him and nodded my head. I closed my eyes and prepared myself for total and utter overkill. I would show the Dark machines the meaning of pain. I smelt blood, sand and a putrid smell line the air. I heard the battle cries and death screams of both Dark creatures and humans alike. I felt the raw eco flowing in the air and in the ground around me.
"Always." I said opening my eyes looking up at the gates of Spargus. Jak didn't wait for the Dune Hopper was stopped to jump out. I was out right behind him in a hurry as we rushed to the cities door. Once open we ran through and didn't even stop despite the horrible sight we beheld. Bodies littered the ground here and there. Horrible creatures and humans fought each other. Humans using team work and the creatures using there shields to make them waist there bullets.
"I need to get to the gun! You help out in anyway you can!" Jak shouted making a mad dash for the turret. I rushed ahead of him towards any creature in the way. I shattered there shields with a single punch then pulled out my pistol and shot them in the head. They would die almost instantly if not I would fire another shot. Some grabbed onto me and screeched into my ears as they ripped throw my skin with there twisted limbs.
They never lived long enough to actually deal serious damage. My wounds healed slowly but at a rate where any painful wound would be relieved by the time I would crack open another's shield. I would zig-zag back and forth from 20 yards away and back to Jak to make sure they didn't teleport in that area and over whelm Jak. I reached the turret and touched the ladder leading up to it ran back to Jak and just followed behind him.
"Good job, now go help out the villagers! I've got things taken care of here!" Jak said climbing up the stairs. I watched him go up not really wanting to leave his side. 'What if one of them climb up the ladder?' I stressed.
"Stop looking at his ass and move yours!" Daxter yelled back at me snapping me back from my worried thoughts. Jak paused in mid climb but brushed it off and continued onward. I snorted and turned tail, my mission was to save as many City folk as I could. I ran up to the nearest serious battle and quickly dragged out any who were to injured to get away.
A man had his whole arm torn off and was bleeding out. 'I wonder...' I thought looking at the wound. I wrapped one of my antenna around the wound till it was completely covered. I applied pressure to it, the antenna turned emerald green giving me a pretty good hint as to what was happening. While I was healing the man I extending my other one to the hissing gash on a woman's cheek. She flinched and pulled out her knife. I instantly froze fearing she would hurt me. She followed my antenna to me and she calmed down slightly.
"Who are you." She asked.
"A friend who only want's to heal you before that acid eats your entire face off until it reaches your brain so please. Let me help you." I said. She flinched again when my antenna touched her face. She allowed it but hissed when I touched it. I could feel the acid being drained out of her wound and when here face stopped bleeding I let her go.
"Thank you." She said picking up her gun and running off to fight once more. I nodded in acknowledgement but she had already turned away so I refocused on the next person who was willing to let me help once he saw what I did for the other girl. It took me a bit but I had everyone healed to the point of being able to fight once more.
"Alright, you should be able to fight now. It's my turn." I said looking towards the sea. The giant machine's crashed down from the sky. Large tidal wave crashed upon the beach as more rained down. Jak didn't waste time shooting them down and there attacks onto him and the city.
I watched him momentarily to make sure he really had it handled. Once I felt like I could look away I went back to killing all and any of the fuckers who dare disgrace this planet with there filthy existence. They were troublesome in large groups but nothing I couldn't handle especially with a group of Wastelanders at my back. It was like they were limitless in there numbers however, it became discouraging to me but I pushed on.
A earth shaking crash snapped all heads to it's source as a building feel down. It was time for the last stretch of this fight. The three on land that would be the trickiest. I looked to the torrent which was smoking lightly signaling that it had taken a good bit of damage. I refocused on the Dark creature on the ground again as two more shakes made everyone, but me, fall to the ground.
"Come on guys! This is the final push!" I screamed out pulling a guy to his feet. With renewed determination we rushed into action. Killing as many of them as we could possible. It was hard work but when Jak killed off one of the Machines on the land we all hooted like blood crazed demons at it's death. Jak's torrent started to smoke even more which unnerved me. The missiles that these machines were shooting at him were hard to destroy. This is where I would usually die in the game.
"I've got to help him out." I said then launched my self off the ground. I raised up a shield just in time to block in coming fire. The blast sent me flying a few feet but I quickly recovered. I summoned as much strength as I could in my fist and speed. I launched myself straight threw the machine with the least damage.
I swerved back around and circled around it while charging back up for another hit. Once again I took out a leg. It's movement's became slower and more jerky. It's fire focused on me but as long as I had my shield up I could stop myself from getting hurt. I would have to start all over again which was frustrating but necessary.
The other machine went down leaving the one I was working at the last one standing. 'Just one more!' I smiled. I hit it's shoulder as hard as I could and Jak shot the last of it's working legs. It went down like a ton of bricks. 'WE FUCKING DID IT! YEAH!' I hooted in my head as I looked down at there bodies. The Dark creatures retreated back to the dark ship in the sky and the Spargus citizens cried out in joy.
I looked down at Jak who was currently climbing down the ladder. Damas and Kleiver were making there way towards him. I flew down over head and followed them to Jak. Once we arrived Jak was just setting foot on the solid ground with Daxter on his shoulder like always.
"You did it, Jak! This victory is a sign of possibility. Times are grim. But when I was the leader of Haven City, times seemed grim then too. Take hope. Even the smallest weed finds shelter within the rocks." Damas said full of pride. I landed beside Jak and clapped him on the shoulder causing Daxter to nearly fall off.
"Wait? You were once the leader of Haven City?" Jak said in utter shock. I sighed and rolled my eyes. 'Geez, it sucks that I heard this more then like...I don't know a hundred times before!'
"I came to the throne during the middle of the Metal Head wars. Baron Praxis betrayed me and banished me to the Wasteland. The rest you know... Anyway, This rare Precursor armor is said to have been worn by Mar himself. I was saving it for my own son... but right now, you should wear it in this difficult time. And you Jackie, your different from the last we meet. I have seen you fight like nothing I have ever seen before."
"Thanks. I don't have anything for you."
"Thanks Damas." I said with a small blush. I always do this when getting praise form someone.
"You give us all hope, the both of you. That is gift enough. Welcome to the clan. Oh and Jackie?"
"Yes?" I asked.
"Consider you dept. to Kleiver replayed." Damas said then walked off with a very mad Kleiver following him. 'Hope Damas plans to at least pay Kleiver back for all he did for me.' I said sighing deeply.
"Hey, good job down there." Jak said giving me a playful nudged in the ribs.
"We have a problem, readings indicate Errol has somehow alerted and raised the Dark Ship's shields. Now even if we do manage to turn on the Planetary Defense System, it may not have an effect. I have a feeling the Astro Viewer in Haven Forest does more than just look at stars, you must be cautious, dark creatures have taken over the Forest. It will be a battle just to reach the Astro Viewer now." Samos said through the Communicator.
"Yay! More missions!" Daxter said in false enthusiasm.
"Hey, I'm right there with you bud but I think we only have a few more to do until it's all over." I said stroking the top of his head.
"Yeah, I get that feeling too." Jak said looking up at the day star. I nearly freaked out when he did but soon calmed down. 'Maybe now that I'm complete I can look without pain too!' I thought inching my gaze up slowly. Soon enough I was starting straight at it and all I could feel was rage and a tiny bit of fear. "Come on, let's get this over with." Jak said patting my back before walking off towards the city gates.
