Being Inside Jak's Shoes
I wasn't sure if I was dead or not. All I knew was that I was somewhere else beyond consciousness—I was dreaming. I fell saw myself fall from the sky onto the metallic floor of the streets. I got up and looked around as if I didn't know where I was. But my subconscious knew I was in Haven. I was wearing strange, old-fashioned clothes. I had a blue tunic like Jak's and I was barefoot. My feet were bandaged around in a fancy style. I was dressed in primitive clothes. Then my subconscious remembered these clothes looked like the ones Jak was wearing the day I arrested him two years ago! I even had the weird red lens thing on my forehead! But the most shocking thing about this dream was the fact that then I saw Jak approaching. It was the older Jak with the goatee not the young Jak I arrested two years ago.
Anyways, Jak was dressed in my commander suit and a lot of Krimzon Guards walked behind him! Then I even saw that the orange rat was on my shoulder! In that moment, my subconscious knew what I was dreaming. I was dreaming that I was Jak! I didn't physically look like Jak, but I dressed like him and was in his situation. The Guards and Jak surrounded me and the rat got off my shoulder.
"We've been waiting for you!" Jak told me.
He sounded just like me! Then he hit me with a metal crowbar and I dropped unconscious. It all turned black and the rat's voice was heard.
"Don't worry Erol, I'll save ya before you know it!" the rat spoke in his mocking voice.
Then I was reliving the moment in which Jak escaped the prison once again in Jak's 'shoes.' The Dark Eco injection cycle had ended and I felt exhausted. Then Jak, once again dressed as me, lowered his face that it was only a few centimeters away from mine. Then he spoke.
"I'll be back later" he warned me.
Then he left with the Baron and I fell unconscious. The orange rodent came on a floating platform and jumped on my chest. I was only half awake, so when he spoke I gladly couldn't hear any crap that came out of his mouth. The only part of his yapping that I heard were his final words.
"I've been looking for you for two years! Say something, just this once!" he begged me.
I complied with his wish and said my 'first' words as Jak. Jak used to be a mute until then it seems.
"I'm gonna kill Praxis!" I angrily exclaimed.
"Shhhh! Right now I gotta get you out of here. Just let me find a way to open those security locks" the rodent explained covering my mouth.
Then he jumped off my chest and onto the floor. I felt myself changing. I saw the whole world red and I felt a thirst for killing. And the orange animal was the only thing around so I broke free from the chair and walked towards him.
"Or...ah, you can do it. Easy now, easy buddy, it's your old pal Daxter remember!?" he told my dark-self.
Just when I was about to tear his guts open, I changed back into myself.
"Daxter?" I asked in confusion.
The furry animal whose name I finally found out by my own words 'as' Jak, spoke once more looking up at me from the floor.
"What the heck was that!? Sheesh, remind me not you piss you off!" he said jumping back on my shoulder.
Then we waked away as Daxter said his final words before I began to wake up.
"Come on tall dark and gruesome, we're outta here. Oh, and I brought you some new threads, put 'em on" he said as the dream began to fade away.
My subconscious knew I was finally waking up. I was glad and sad that I was leaving. Glad because I was tired of being Jak and of hearing the annoying rodent's voice. And sad because I knew I would wake up with some sort of injury. I mean, nobody wakes up from a coma after nearly dying from crashing with a month's supply of Eco without a scratch. So I woke up, waiting to go back to reality...
