A horrible, mind-freezing scream filled the chamber, filled with an
unspeakable pain. Jak fought against the throbbing in his ears and dug his
claws deeper in, as if craving for the Metalhead's heart. Green light shot
out through the wounds and cuts Jak made on Corgoth's body, but most burst
out of the claw cavity in his chest.
And then suddenly, Corgoth exploded into a thousand rays of green and white light.
Jak was thrown backwards by the mere force of it. He closed his eyes tightly, but the light was so bright it even shone through his eyelids. He waited several seconds until finally the light faded slowly away.
It was finally over. It was really, really over.
Jak opened his stinging eyes. Corgoth had vanished; there was absolutely nothing left of him. Slowly and painfully, Jak staggered up to his feet and slowly morphed back into his usual blond self.
Lying in the centre of the chamber was the Precursor Stone, shining innocently at him. He smiled softly and strode towards it, taking it into his hands. The smooth gem shimmered softly on being touched again, and Jak could feel its enigmatic inner warmth.
Daxter: (Poking his head from the doorway at the other end of the chamber) Jak??
Jak: (Looks up and grins) Daxter!!
Daxter: (Whoops and runs towards his friend, leaping into his face and making Jak fall off)
Jak: Ow!
Daxter: You were great!!
Jak: What do you mean?
Sig: (Who was supporting Ashelin, Keira and Samos, who were both drowsy and concious again) We saw the whole thing, cherry.
Torn: (Who had Denelle on his shoulders) How'd you do that, anyway?
Jak: (Getting up) Do what?
Erol: (Who was carrying Tess) Get the Stone all shiny and all.
Jak: Believe me, I have no idea.
Torn: Awww, who cares anyway? It killed Corgoth, saved us all and most of all, saved Haven City once again.
Raven: You truly are a hero, Jak.
Keira: (Drowsily) Can we go home now?
Raven: (Chuckles cheerfully for the first time) C'mon.

Torn watched the city like a silent sentinel from the high porch of his palace room. (The palace had been fixed already. The excuse for all the damage? They let Daxter handle that; he's a born liar) He stared aimlessly at the street-lights below him, then raised his eyes to the heavens above to look at the stars and the beautiful moon.
A smile came to his lips when he suddenly realized that he wasn't afraid of the moon anymore. Infact, he welcomed it and touched the dark blue Moon- sapphire around his neck, feeling the delicate coolness as it harnessed the moonlight.
He chuckled to himself suddenly. He thought about it, about being a Hura- Lycan, and how wonderful, how blissful it had suddenly become. After what he had been through, aftet what he had learnt from Sig, he finally began to take this dark curse as a gift. He needn't the serum anymore, and he had stopped hoping for a cure. He didn't want to be cured.
Perhaps he's not the only one.
His sharp eyes spotted two swift movements below him. He knew too well that it was just Raven and Erol. Raven knew there was no way he can cure Erol of his vampiric curse; so instead he offered himself to become Erol's mentor and teach him of the mysterious vampire ways. Erol wasn't reluctant to learn more about it, either. Infact, he's been eyeing Keira and Ashelin's necks a lot lately...
Torn let a sigh escape him and gazed at the moon again. It shone innocently at him, but Torn knew that it was calling to him with a dark, lustful longing. To his surprise, he gave in to it willingly.
A long howl echoed eeriely through the silent night and a large Hura-Lycan beast stood where Torn had been. Torn gave another long soulful howl and slowly lowered his wolfish head from the moon.
Suddenly he heard a low chuckle and his eyes whipped upwards. In the darkness, he saw a familiar figure. It was Sig, only he had transformed into a Hura-Lycan beast like him.
Sig: (In metallic voice) Come on, Torn. Let's go.
And with that the two leaped and decended into the darkness.
