Afternoon
I'm sore, tired, not hungry and dying. Yep that's right dying. After a long string of 'bad luck' I got sprayed with Metal Head guts, which is toxic to who eats or touches it. So I'll suffer horribly then my head explodes. Charming isn't it.
Now I'll just waste away in this plastic prison, in a laboratory, which is in a secret mountain base, which is high above Haven City, which all this had to occur on my birthday. Not before... not after... just now! Who's making me suffer like this anyway?
I don't want to die! I'm too young to die! Stupid Metal Head! It's been half an hour and I'm feeling quite sick. In the stomach, I mean. It must been those stupid rodent pellets. I was soooooo hungry and that was the only and still only food available.
I want a drink, as in alcohol. I need to get drunk and pass time. Laying here for three hours isn't much fun. Boy I feel tired maybe I should take a nap, relax my sore muscles to prepare them for later complications. I yawned and closed my eyes.
I woke to a few scientists looking at me through the clear plastic wall. Not a nice thing to wake up to.
"What are you looking at?" I snarled
The scientists moved away and huddled in a circle in murmured voices. I rolled my eyes and laid there. What time is it? I needed something to do. There was a lot straw here. Maybe I could make them a straw basket, or I could at least make some sort of curtains so I can die in peace. Thinking about dying... am I suppose to be horribly sick now?
I rose from the straw bed and self examine myself. I put and hand to my forehead but found it cool. The only thing that hurt was my ass from the loony pound man that decide to stick a needle in me that was as large as a building and aching muscles from surviving so much trauma.
"Hey! How come I'm not sick!" I asked to the group of scientists
They ignored me. And kept talking amongst themselves.
"Hello? Anyone out there?" I drawled
No response from them. Another scientist entered and I recognized it to be Pierre.
"Hey, Pierre man" I called
His head cocked towards me. He walked over to me and start to scribble on a clip board that he had.
"Intriguing and amazing!" the scientist murmured
"What?" I growled in impatience
"It's been three hours and you have not shown a single sign of a symptom" Pierre told me
"Really?" I asked dumbfounded
"Yes. You may hold the cure for this poison!" Pierre cried excitedly then down toned it, "Of course we have to do heavy research on this and might even find a cure for other diseases"
"Whoa, slow down horsy" I said coolly, "What are you talking about?"
"It seems the poison is being eliminated by a protein cell in your blood. I seen this similar in tamed Lurkers. I just want to check if you been in interaction with Lurkers?"
"Yeah, unfortunately. At the pound and that man put a-" I grimaced, "A honking big needle in my, uh, rear"
"Hmmm....maybe that is what preventing the poison from infecting you. Unfortunately this cell is some what toxic to human and to any other animal. It seems that your body chemistry accepts this protein. Amazing" he dribbled on, "I must do more research"
"Is that all you guys do?" I drawled, "Don't you go watch the races or go home to relax or play video games like 'Earth'?"
I like that game, 'Earth'. It's great, you play these people in another world and they have countries and strange creatures... of course it's only compatible on SP2. I half smiled remembering the little characters in the game then I kicked myself back to reality.
"Unfortunately no. Once here you stay here. Everything here is top secret" Pierre murmured
"So, am I top secret?" I asked eagerly
"Well if we work out how come you accept this protein and apply it to humans we could cure lots of things then I guess so" Pierre gave a smile
"Cool, I'm top secret!" I cheered
"But I must continue with experiments" he announced and turned away
Things are looking up. That needle was worth it after all! Yay! Also I'm top secret. Yay! Things are starting to look up! Then I had to burst my own bubble. I remembered if I'm so 'top secret' I have to stay here and they'll do all sorts of experiments and stick more needles in me and keep me here in this plastic box. I wont be able to go home, see everyone again or party. Oh Mar! I wanted to have a party tonight and I won't be able to! This isn't fair! No matter how 'special' I am I'm getting out of here and home! It's my birthday for Mar's sake!
Now, How do get out of here? Well this was made for a rat and I am not a rat so the lid of this plastic rat cage should be easy come off. I waited until the scientists milled out of the lab and Pierre ducked out for a few moments to make my move.
I pushed the top and the flap flipped open. I hopped out and breathed in the fresh air. No time to celebrate, as Sig would say. I ran out and made my way through the completely the same looking halls. I sniffed the air, following my nose to fresher air. After I made my way through the maze to a sealed door. In front of the door was a guy that look like he was in charge of security of the door. There was no way I was getting passed him. I still smell like Metal Head guts and he'll smell me a mile off.
The door suddenly opened with some yellow suited guys. I had to sneak past them, smelly or not. I got close to them as much as I could, without being seen then calculating my chances I ran through on all fours towards the entrance. I ran passed the yellow suited men as the door guard spotted me running pass. More likely smelled me but that's besides the point.
I ran for my life. Next I hear security alarms and yellow suited men running towards me. Those men really look like they're from a bad alien movie. Anyway I hijacked an airship. I hopped in the pilot seat, following what Jak normally does, I found ignition keys and booted up the vehicle.
I heard cries and voices of urgency to quickly detain me. I ignored them as the airship hovered above the station. Once at satisfactory height I slammed my little foot on the pedal and the airship accelerated forward and away from the horrid secret base. Ha, ha, suckers! Onward to freedom!
Suddenly the radar on the panel beeped as shooting emitted outside. I glanced out the window and saw Krimzon guards with Jet Packs strapped on them. They were flying around the airship shooting at me. Damn, I had no guns to shoot with. I just have to get to Haven City as soon as possible. So much for freedom.
Haven city was coming up fast. The airship endured relentless fire of the Krimzon Guards. I saw the control panel displaying the damage that was being done. It wasn't good. Engines are shutting down fast, not to mention they badly damage the interior. I had to make it, I had to make it to the city and survive! Right now that looks grim. I need to do it for my birthday!
I kept a steady course. Suddenly the engine spluttered and hissed a last breath.
"NOOOO! Don't die on me you stupid piece of junk! You mother f..." I was cut off when the airship took a nose dive, "AHHHHHH!" I screamed.
If I wasn't going to die by being poisoned then I'm going to die by being splattered on the ground. Prefect. All this on my freaking birthday! This just can't be happening, I'm too young to die. I'm only seventeen! Seven in Ottsel years!
As the ground rushed up to meet me all I saw was white light, great amount of heat and a voice "Come"...
Am I dead? Am I in heaven? Or am I in Hell? Am I alive? No I can't be alive, I was in an airship crashing down to the ground. I should be be burnt ashes and dust. Maybe I am dead because I feel light and airy. Oh Mar, I actually died on my birthday! I didn't even get to have any presents or any cake. What's wrong with Ottsels having a normal birthday? Is that so hard to ask?
I found myself staring at a ceiling. Strange, am I in a building in heaven? But everything wasn't bright and white like they portray in the movies. Then again who believes movies? I couldn't feel anything. I wanted to get up but I couldn't move. I managed to move my head and I saw some control panels in one side. Control panels? As I looked around I realized I was in a room. As I saw my little Ottsel self and was surprised to see I was suspended in air. Nothing was holding me underneath. Above me was a bright light.
Does this what Heaven really look like?
Suddenly someone came in the room through a sliding door. It was the most beautiful women I ever seen. She was more sexy then the people from the T.V show Watchbay and she was wearing some sort of tight skimpy clothing that show lots of bare skin except... you know what. It formed in the colors white and red.
Wow... I am in Heaven!
The woman smiled and came over to me.
"Hello planet dweller" the she greeted
"Ooookaaayyy... who are you and where-?" I was cut off
"My name is Linnhanajakjinnlowtrinmpullakakemishipojocohiffhurrlimnotoasvyn" the she replied replied
"Ooookkkaaaayyy... What was that in English?" I asked confused
"I will translate it in your simple language. My name is Pry"
"Pry? You get that from a such a long unpronounceable name?" I was a bit skeptical but surprised none the less
"You are in my control room of my ship, above your planet" Pry told me
"I am what?" I exclaimed
"You are in my control room of my ship, above your planet" it repeated
"I know that... hey why am I floating in mid air and what do you mean your 'ship'?" I asked
"You were in sleep stasis. Now you are not I'll shut it down" she said said
"I was... hey wait!" I cried
The bright light was suddenly turned off, I immediately fell to the cold hard fall. My whole back went into shock as stinging pain and coldness came. My ass began to flair in deep soreness from the earlier needle prick. It was surprising a long fall. I think that bright light had something to do with the floating-ness. Man this is too weird.
"Ow. Why don't you drop me higher next time!" I growled in sarcasm
"Do you wish me too?" Pry asked
"No! I was being sarcastic!" I growled as I sat up
"Sarcastic... I am unfamiliar with this term. Is this a planet dweller custom?" she asked
"Oh Mar" I muttered as I rose to my feet dusting myself off
"You are here because your life was in great danger" Pry explained the second part of my question
"What?" I asked surprised
"You are here because your life was in great danger" it repeated
"Oh I know that!" I growled, "How do you know that?"
"I came here to this planet and found your city. I saw on the scope and you were being chased, you start to dive as your engines failed and you started to plea for your life. Claiming if was your 'birthday' and you are seventeen years old or seven in Ottsel years. I felt pity on you" Pry explained
"Oh... really... I don't remember saying all that. I was certainly thinking it..." I murmured in thought
"Oh really? Oh, uh, anyway I gather this 'birthday' is important to you and 'seventeen years old' is your cycle age. I'm slightly confused with Ottsel years" she replied stammering at the start which made me frown
"Oh I'm an Ottsel and that's how old I am in those years. It's a form of measurement" I tried to explain
"I see " the alien said all too bluntly
"So spacechick, how did I get up here?" I asked as I walked over to a large window
"I simply beamed you up here" she replied
"'Beamed' me up?"
"Yes. A form of transportation from your planet to here and reversed" the babe explained
I looked out of the window. It was a beautiful view of the planet. It just felt strange that I was up here and the planet was down there... This was all too weird! I must be dead! I mean before the point of impact I got 'beamed' up here and slept off the hours then meeting a hot woman... It just seems too good to be true and too farfetched. I mean I'm alone with a sexy chick... maybe my birthday is looking better after all. But, as been done to me in the past, this could be a set up for a knock down.
Well at least I'm not suffering any horrible pain. I wonder if the chick can beam me back down and be in time for a party.
"Would you like some refreshments?" Pry asked
"Yes please!" I cried in spite all of my disbelief and suspicion, "I'm so hungry and thirsty I could eat a whole Yakow and four Hip Hogs!"
The alien girl smiled, "I do not have what you call Yakow or Hip Hog but I have fruits from your planet. Wait here and I shall get it for you"
I checked myself out, seeing if I was harmed. All I had was a few prick marks from the 'research' that was being conducted on me, sore ass STILL from the injection and I smell. At least I was in one peace. As soon I've eaten I'm going home and stay in a metal institution for the next few days! No one will ever believe what I day I had, let alone this alien chick encounter. Maybe I'm laying bloodied and broken somewhere and dreaming this whole thing. I wouldn't be surprised.
"Here are your refreshments" Pry announced as it came in the room with a try of food. I sat on a nearby table while Pry put the try in front of me.
"I have gathered your planet's food. I hope it's satisfactory" Pry said
"Me too" I replied and tried some of the food
After passing my suspicions test I ate like there was no tomorrow. Those pellets were nothing compare as this food. In taste and fullness. I ate every last fruit and drink that I was given. Quite suddenly a wave of dizziness struck me and a felt quite tired. I looked at Pry in confusion and it stared back at me with a large smile on her lips... this can't be good.
Oh no Daxter is adducted by alien chick.... well that's a twist!
Forward to chapter 4th and final chapter to find out how this tale ends.
I don't know where the alien thing came from but I want something different and doesn't quite fit in the Jak universe. But its fun and crazy, that and I just wanted aliens just for the sake of it!
Review, let me know how I'm going!
