I do not own Jak and Daxter the game/series or the characters. Only my own characters and my own plot events are indeed mine.
"Welcome to the Naughty Ottsel! The hippenest, hoppenest, happenest joint in town!"
I laughed at Daxter some, sitting on the bar table next to Jak, my legs crossed. Adriel sat a few seats down on a stool, chuckling at Daxter's words while he messed with Pecker, smirking every time he got a reaction. Keira was scolding Adriel for his actions therefore making them argue..again.
It was obvious to me now that Adriel just really did not like her. That was alright with me because she was a little bit on the…female dog side when Jak and I told her we were together on the ride back to the city. It was Adriel who was our defense shocking both of us.
We all headed towards Hip Hog Heav- err…the Naughty Ottsel in celebration for gaining the city back and destroying the Metal Head leader.
I took another drink from my cup and Jak leaned back, still standing beside me as he raised a brow.
"Is drinking the best thing for you right now?" he asked. I smiled slowly, leaning in while pressing a hand to his chest.
"Why..? Do you want me to be clear minded for a reason?" I asked looking his face over. Jak smirked at me and leaned up before Samos spoke.
"We must not forget Vin. And all the others who sacrificed their lives to defeat this evil…and protect the child," he said holding up his cup.
I shut my eyes sadly, though I did nod and looked at Jak as he stared at the amulet in his hand.
"I still can't believe…that little boy was me." I watched as he chuckled blankly then looked down, "Better times huh…?"
I hopped down and stood in front of him, a hand on his chest, "You miss him, don't you?"
He didn't reply and I thought about before smiling and putting my finger to his chin, tilting it up some so I could see his eyes more.
"You know…the kid grows up to be a rather handsome hero," I claimed. Jak looked at me and I smiled a little, my had on his neck and leaned up.
Looking over as Dax yelled I stopped seeing a drunk Onin.
"Hey! That's enough for you, lady. I'm cuttin' you off!" Daxter yelled defiantly. Onin flicked her fingers and Daxter flew across the bar table and shook his head when he was next to Pecker.
Pecker shook his head, holding a bottle, "Trust me. She gets real mean when she's like this."
We all looked as Onin made hand signs before looking at Pecker who stared at her as if she were crazy. I laughed and looked at him, my arms around Jak naturally.
"What'd she say?"
Pecker looked at Daxter," Something about rubber tubing and certain parts of Daxter's mother."
I went wide eyed staring and Pecker shook his head.
"You don't want to know," he concluded quickly. Jak laughed and Adriel pointed at Onin.
"You know something you're really mean!" he claimed loudly. I walked over to my protector and held his chin, bringing his face to mine.
"You aren't drunk are you, Adri?" I asked. Said blonde smiled a bit and I smelt mints. Strong mints. I nodded, letting him go and he looked at me, his cheeks tinted red.
"You're beautiful," he said nodding. I smiled at him shaking my head and crossing my arms.
"You're trashed, dear. A Metal Head would be beautiful to you," I said laughing a little more.
Adriel opened his mouth to defend himself before we all looked over at the door, Daxter yelling.
"Aaaah! Metal Head!"
I blinked and Adriel held his hands up as we all cheered.
"Sig!"
I ran over to my brother and hugged him tightly. I blinked back tears and I laughed some, so happy Sig was alive. I never thought I'd see him again. Jak walked up behind me.
"You're okay!" he said astonished. Sig picked me up and set me on his shoulder, nodding easily.
"Yeah! You cherries didn't think some nasty breath, giant sized, lizard was gonna keep me from the biggest party in town did ya?" he asked chuckling. I smiled brightly down at him while he steadied me easily.
Daxter nodded his head, looking up at Sig while sitting on Jak's shoulder.
"I knew you were too tough for 'em big guy!"
We got outside and I looked around at the city seeing it was very lively outside in the middle of the night. People cheering and lots of energy. Nothing like you'd see in a city run by Baron or over ruled by Metal Heads.
I looked at the giant Naught Ottsel symbol and saw it was Daxter with horns and a staff. I stared dully before looking at Samos as he spoke.
"You saved the city and more. Metal Kor and his menace are history and somewhere out there an ancient race has begun again."
He then looked at me and nodded, "Not to mention we've found the lost disciples to the Twin Suns. We're very honored to have all these bringing happen."
I sighed deeply, hugging Jak around the waist.
"I'm just glad to be back home," I mumbled smiling. Jak nodded chuckling and we both looked over at Samos as he spoke again.
"Yeah well rest up! We've got a lot to do and so much time to do it in."
"Don't say time! The Rift Ring was destroyed. Remember?" I giggled looking up at the fireworks as Jak said this and Sig stepped next to Samos with his hands behind his back, nodding some.
"You know, my momma used to read me bedtime stories about Mar when she tucked me in. Gimme a nice glass of warm Yakow milk, my little poopsy bear."
I stared at Sig dully and it was obvious we weren't related. Daxter's eye twitched as he stared at Sig.
"Bedtime stories? Warm milk?…poopsy bear! Buddy you just blew your image," he stated shaking his head.
I laughed some and looked at Samos as he spoke, "I've got a feeling we'll meet Mar someday. He may be close then you think."
"You're the designated driver."
Sig set the Ruby Key in Jak's hand and he kept an arm around my waist, shaking his head.
"Ooooh no. I am done with adventure," he said quickly. I nodded easily, pulling away and looking at Samos with a smile.
"Yeah. Besides. You'll tell us before something happens next time right, Samos?" He didn't answer and instead pretended to whistle. I glared and Jak narrowed his eyes.
"Riiight, Samos?" he drawled. Pecker squawked and we looked down at him.
"You never know what the future may hold," he said waving his fingers. I stared at him annoyed and Daxter landed on my shoulder pointing at him.
"Waiiit…you know somethin' dontcha, feather breath!" he asked annoyed. Pecker scoffed, his hands to his chest.
"Who me? Wha-? Nooo. We're just guessing! Right, Samos? Today tomorrow. Only time will tell."
Daxter shook his head looking at him.
"No! You're going to tell. Right now!"
We all four watched as they rolled back and forth fighting each other. I didn't understand exactly how that counted as fighting but they sure did go at it, Daxter punching and pulling his feathers while Pecker said some choice words in Spanish and English.
Sig leaned down and grasped them both by their tales stopping it and Samos touched Jak's shoulder, motioning out to the brightly firework lit sky.
"Kida…Jak…the future awaits."
Jak put a finger to my chin and tilted my head up, kissing me softly. I smiled at that. My future at the moment didn't quite matter to me. It was the present that did…
Writing the ending to this was I have to say pretty emotional. The last two chapters were really really hard. This is a story I've been writing for a really long time and to actually be done with it is shocking for me. I decided to update and update within these four days to make up for lost time…and I came to the end! D:
Buuuut I am currently working on Jak 3(: So no worries. Um…Yeeeeah. Review! Like seriously review!
I want to know your favorite part of the entire story, what youuuu wished would have happened, who your favorite character was, who your least favorite character was and how YOU fateful readers took the ending. Lol ^^
