Chapter 35
Once we got off of the elevator, we arrived in an area that was a bit dark and looked a lot like a canyon of sorts, one filled with tons of holes in the walls and some tracks all over the place.
"Huh... these must be the old Eco mines that Mar built along with Haven City back in the day. He made them to get at the Eco during the city's first few decades," I gawked at them.
"Eesh! That Mar guy must've never slept much!" Daxter retorted soon after.
"I'm going ahead to tell Onin we're back. Watch your tail feathers, guys. This is a spooky place," Pecker said as he flew into the distance and I looked around a bit until I saw something pretty interesting.
"Ooh! Look what I found, guys!" I smirked as I found some leg armor, the group looking at me with a smile.
"That stuff looks like the armor we found in the Wasteland... so who gets it?" Jak asked.
"Well, that depends. Would you like to finally go all the way with me when this journey's all done, Jak?" I smirked at him, Jak blushing at that and me smirking.
"I... I... sure!" Jak smirked.
"Then we'll share it. You get one, I get the other," I smiled as I gave him the right one and I took the left one.
"Thanks," Jak smiled as he put his on.
"You do realize you agreed to have sex with mom when we're done with this adventure, right, dad?" Kiki smirked, Jak smiling and nodding, which made me blush.
"Hehe, I'll give you one thing, Sasha. You sure like to tell it straight," Errol said with a small smirk.
"That's what I like most about myself," I smirked as we then moved forward a bit and we saw that there was a way into the city from the outside walls. The only issue was that there was a giant gate that was locked up tight and made of some very tough metal.
"You think you can blow up this gate with your bombs, Kiki?" I asked her, Kiki smirking and rushing towards the door and placing at least 20 different bombs in the entrance to it. I then fired a Blaster shot at it and the bombs made a giant explosion! You could actually feel a slight shock wave from the blast because of its power! And it actually made the gate crumble and shrivel to bits, leaving a giant gaping hole for us to go through!
"Nice job, Kiki! Time to move out," I smirked as we then proceeded into the large hole and we then dropped down into a small cave area. And after crossing over a rickety bridge, it then fell beneath our feet and we saw the door on the other side begin to open up. And guess who came through on the other end? The person that deserved a ball kick.
"The monks told me you were going through the Precursor Subrails. Interesting, aren't they?" Veger asked, me frowning as I then simply got my gun on me and cocked it.
"Yeah, whatever. And as for you, I believe you deserve a kick to the balls for... oh, I don't know, KILLING ALL OF THOSE INNOCENT PEOPLE BY DESTROYING THE PALACE!" I exclaimed angrily at him, Veger growling at me.
"How'd you find that out, bitch?" he asked, me taking some steps forward angrily.
"From Seem, the monk we overheard you speaking with in the temple in the Wasteland. Now why don't you come over to our side of the door so I can kick you in the nuts so hard, they enter your throat?" I asked angrily.
"You really are full of horrid ideas, Veger," Jak said angrily.
"AND YOU'RE FULL OF DARK ECO! You, your rat, and your Metal Head are all abominations! I will be the one to go to the Catacombs and gain the power to be the light of this world, that shall spread across the galaxy and destroy all shadows!" Veger exclaimed, me frowning at that as I saw that Kiki looked furious.
"In order to do that, Count Vagina, you'd need to be able to have a fucking morality to you. All those innocent lives you took? Fiddling with the votes to banish the most powerful people in Haven City to the Wastelands? Basically overtaking the city with your mad ideas just to become powerful? That's the work of a villain, not a hero!" Kiki exclaimed angrily, which I smirked at her for telling him off.
"ENOUGH! We shall start the reshaping of the world with your demise!" Veger exclaimed as his staff started to glow a bright red... and it was only then that I gawked. His staff had Precursor technology in the jewel! "Behold! I now command the very power of the ancient ones!" Veger smirked widely as he actually made the statue above us come to life in the form of a Precursor Robot! I growled at this and looked at Kiki.
"Alright, Kiki. Time to blow this guy's robotic brains out!" I said angrily, her smirking and then throwing numerous bombs at the robot's face that then stuck to it and me then aiming my Peacemaker at the giant robot as Veger escaped through the door. One fully-charged shot later and the robot's entire upper half exploded in fantastic fashion, resulting in the machine dropping something surprising. It was a gun upgrade!
"I wonder what this gun upgrade is for? It doesn't look like it's for any of the main four types," I frowned as I noted it was actually Light Eco inside of it! "Hmm... I have an idea! Maybe we can try to hook this up to your gun, Dax!" I smirked, him smiling as he gave me his gun and I then hooked it up to the front of the gun and saw that I actually got it on snug, it fitting well into the cylindrical barrel so that it looked more like a regular gun barrel. Daxter then decided to shoot a blast of it at the nearby wall... and we were shocked at what happened soon after. A combined attack of Green and Light Eco blew a giant hole in the wall that was as big as the Precursor Robot!
"Sweet! That's a very deadly weapon for our little Ottsel friend! Now let's go up top and see what trouble we can get into," Kiki smiled, all of us smiling at that and going through the door and finding ourselves entering the northern part of Haven City. And when we did so, we saw that we were in the northernmost part of Haven City that hadn't been completely demolished from the Palace falling. And we saw it was still pretty wrecked with fire, debris, and Metal Scorpions infesting the streets.
"This place looks worse than my old bedroom back in the past," Daxter gawked as we then moved towards New Haven... only to see that Samos, Keira, Sammie, and Minnie were all on the other side of one of the most durable forcefields created by Baron Praxis.
"Guys! We're so relieved to see you!" Jak said, Keira smiling at us as did Samos and the twins.
"See, girls? I told you I could sense their energies!" Samos said with a smile.
"We came back the moment Ashelin told us that the city needed our help... and after she revealed that Veger basically flipped the votes backwards to cast us out!" Errol said with anger, Keira growling at that.
"Veger actually did that?! How stupid can one guy possibly be?! Ever since he got you out of the city, the KG robots and Metal Heads have pinned us down all over the city and we've barely got any safe places to stay at! He turned Force Fields on all over the city, which doesn't do jack shit for the flying robots and Metal Heads," Keira said with an upset frown.
"You know what else Veger did? He's the one who destroyed the Palace! And he only did so just to get access to the Catacombs for some kind of power!" I said angrily.
"Well then you're going to have to find a way to get there before he does!" Sammie said with a frown.
"But before that, you'll need to get past these forcefields all over the city. Even if you tried to fly over them with Kiki, it'd just shock you from trying to go over them. That asshole Veger thought hard about how to make these forcefields as horrible as possible. It shocks living things no problem, but that doesn't count for the fucking robots!" Minnie growled angrily.
"Couldn't we just get to the rooftops and go over past the forcefields?" Daxter asked.
"Not even that is possible. So long as every single forcefield is still enforced, you can't fly over even a single piece of housing or wall without getting your insides shocked and served crispy... the only way I can think of is to start off in the Port area by going through the sewers from here. And once there, you'll need to meet up with Torn and break apart the barriers one by one until you can get here," Keira explained.
"Understood. And don't worry. The next time we see Veger, we're going to give him the nut punch of the century for killing all those innocent people by destroying the palace," I said, them nodding at that.
"If anyone could do it, I'm sure you guys can. Take the sewer entrance nearby and go due south through them," Samos said, me nodding at that.
"Understood. Stay safe, stay green, and stay hopeful, okay, guys? We'll get through those defenses no problem," I said, them nodding at that.
