Alright now to the third chapter, I hope you all enjoy this as it took a
lot of thought and effort. Please review and be ready for a little violence
in this one
Disclaimer: I still need to repeat this after two chapters? I don't own Jak and Daxter or any of its characters or settings. I own Viktor.
Jak rode through the streets of haven city, crouched as tight as he could to his jet board, willing it to fly faster. His blonde hair fluttered in the wind as he dodged around pedestrians. Every Krimson guard he saw urged him faster and faster. He must make it to the Underground before it is too late. The closer he got, the more Krimson Guard he saw in his path. The frustration built up deep inside of him as he dodged around Krimson after Krimson, each maneuver slowing his progression. As he reached the slums quarter of Haven City, the heat rising from the sands could be felt on his face, as he was crouching so low he almost brushed up against it. He was seconds away when he heard that which he was dreading.
Blaster fire rang out as civilians ran towards him shouting, "Sound the alarm!" A large number of Krimson guards ran by, and went around a corner with their weapons drawn. As Jak and Daxter rounded a corner two Krimson guards surrounded by a strange green light flew by, and smashed into an opposing building. A flash of purple erupted from the soldiers and they evaporated, leaving only broken stonework and cracked tile. Jak leapt off his jet board and pulled his gun from his back, replacing the jet board with practiced grace. Jak's Vulcan Fury was already spinning at full speed when he saw that which was most dreaded. Samos, surrounded by Krimson guard was forced under a crowd of Krimson Guard. He had used his skills to create a shield around himself, but the Krimson Guards broke it down with their blaster fire. Jak watched as his mentor and guardian fell under the suppressing weight of the Krimson, who continued to fire upon his defenseless body. For a moment Jak stared in blank disbelief, but soon he was filled with terrible rage. He roared as he unleashed the Vulcan Fury upon the Krimson Guard standing before him, mowing down all in his path. Purple explosions appeared left and right as Krimson Guard struggled to face the opponent that was destroying them. Occasionally, several bullets hit the same target, pushing the guard with every impact higher and higher until he fell onto his comrades, and evaporating into oblivion. Jak stood still firing until his smoking weapon had no more ammunition to fire. The weapon spun still as steam and smoke poured out of the barrels. As he moved to strap it to his back, the still red hot barrels singed Jak on the back of his neck only propelling further into rage.
Jak felt his body begin to change. He had changed many times in his fight to destroy the Baron, yet he was still not used to the feeling inside. His hair grew longer, Jak could feel it almost being stretched, and molded together with nearby hairs to create large strands of hair. His skin felt clammy, and eventually did not feel at all as it turned paler and paler. The dark eco surged up inside him, and it felt as if his chest was about to explode as more muscles appeared on his body. His nails grew dark and extended into long claws. He had become Dark Jak, the killing machine. Once his transformation was complete he took long loping strides towards the Baron's Palace. Purple electricity arched from his body to the ground with every step he took. As Dark Jak rounded the building and started running up the steps to the great doors of the Palace, two Krimson Guard stood in his path. Before they could raise their weapons in defense, Dark Jak had spun with his raking claws, striking the first guard across his chest, and caught the second with a slash to the face. He continued on without even caring if his attacks had killed the guards, but soon the swoosh made by the dying guards brought a small smirk to his face. Dark Jak ran in the palace, rushing to the elevator but it was blocked by more Krimson. There seemed to be a never ending supply of these foul creatures responsible for Samos' death. They would be eliminated easily before Dark Jak's might. Blaster fire seemed to not even effect him as he ran to the center of the crowd. Dark Jak leapt high into the air, bringing his fist smashing down into the floor, sending a purple shockwave around his body. The Oracle had called this a Dark Bomb, and its powers were greatly appreciated by Jak in his quests. Bolts of electricity picked up all of the surrounding guards, pinning them to the walls and slowing killing them all off. The crackle of electricity surround Jak, only interrupted by the crunch of Krimson guard armor smashing into walls and falling to the ground. As soon as Dark Jak stood back up from unleashing the Dark Bomb, there was nothing in the hallways of the Palace other then the blasters of the former Krimson guard.
Using an attack as powerful as Dark Bomb usually resulted in Jak reverting to his normal form, because the dark eco was drained in his body, however because of the loss of Samos, Jak was so filled with rage he would not even let himself to return to his weaker form. He thundered into the elevator, and began to rise to the main chamber of the Baron's Palace. Dark eco bolts flashed all around the elevator as he stood, breathing heavily. He didn't know what he was going to do when the doors opened, he knew Ashelin had something to do with this. Where was the escort she promised him? Even three Krimson Guards would have bought enough time for Jak to save Samos. Ashelin and Torn had some questions to answer.
The door slid open and Dark Jak sprung out like a whirlwind of claws. He was about to strike down another Krimson Guard when a voice came from beside him, "Jak what are you doing here! Why are you killing our men?!?" Dark Jak looked over the quivering Krimson Guard and saw Ashelin standing in front of her fathers old throne, a look of deep concern etched on to her face. This brief pause in Jak's rampage caused the last of his Dark eco to run out, and he felt all of the power rush out of him like a giant wave. Jak, now back in his normal form collapsed on the ground breathing heavily. That was the longest his body had stayed in the Dark Jak form, and every muscle seemed to be on fire because of it. Jak's head slowly raised off of the ground as he saw Ashelin and Torn running to his side, to see what was going on. He also saw Ashelin place her blaster pistol back in her holster. Daxter, who had remained silent for the longest time in his life, spoke to Ashelin and Torn while Jak regained his strength. "Are you proud of what you just did there missy?!? You made him go all freaky deaky again and he wiped out a bunch of Krimson. If he would have realized I was on his shoulder I probably would have been thrown around to!!!"
Ashelin looked confused she opened her mouth as if to say something but Torn interrupted, "Listen to me you little squirt, Jak wont be the one throwing you around if you keep talking to Ashelin that way."
Daxter walked right up to Torn's shin and looked up at him, "It was YOU who did it wasn't it! I knew you couldn't stand me and Jak but what good did that do?!?" Daxter was fuming, Samos' death really hurt Daxter as well as Jak, but seeing his friend lose control over himself really struck home.
Ashelin finally spoke, "W-wait what exactly happened? Where is Samos? Is he with you?"
Jak had finally caught his breath, and slowly stood, "Samos is dead. He was ambushed by Krimson Guards just outside of the Underground headquarters. He would still be alive if your escort would have been there as promised!"
"I took that escort to the Underground myself, one of my best squadrons. Ten Krimson Guards were going to walk Samos right to Mar's Tomb. "The only reason we were delayed is because Samos did not want to be left with them. He kept muttering about an evil presence. I just thought the old man had grown senile in his extremely old age."
"There were more then ten Krimson guard attacking Samos... this doesn't make any sense. We heard blaster fire and saw Samos throw a couple of Krimson Guards and then a bunch of Krimson guards ran past us to attack him."
"Maybe Samos lost it, and the guards were protecting their own. Our men are scattered throughout the city."
Daxter spoke again, "I don't know about that toots, me and the psycho boy wonder here have run through this city before attacking Krimson Guards and haven't attracted that much attention that quickly."
"None of this adds up..." Torn simply said, "I am going to go out, see if any of the Undergrounds operatives know what is going on." Torn then walked to the elevator.
"I will be going shortly soon as well. You are right there shouldn't have been so large of a Krimson Guard buildup in the slums. I will have a talk with officers about that. You and Daxter should head back to the club, we'll get to the bottom of this, and the moment we find out who is responsible we will tell you." Ashelin put her hand on Jak's shoulder, trying to comfort him. Jak looked away and brushed her arm off, "Thank you for your help Ashelin... I should have known you wouldn't be responsible for this. I should have known." The elevator came back up to the top level and the doors opened. Daxter ran up Jak's shoulder as Jak walked to the open doors. "What do you plan to do with the body?" Ashelin called out from behind Jak. "He left no body" Jak simply replied as he stepped into the elevator, the doors closing immediately behind him. Ashelin stood alone, staring out at the door, her hand rubbing her cheek, "Hmm"
Soon after Jak stopped the new zoomer they had found outside of the Palace at the Naughty Ottsel, "You take care of things here; I need to go off and think for a bit." Jak said as Daxter jumped out of the zoomer. "Alright big guy, don't stay out too late, I have to break the news to Tess." Jak then drove off, letting Daxter walk in his club alone. After traveling through the farming district of the city, with the automatic water guns constantly spraying the large crops, Jak reached a metallic ramp leading up to a large steel door. Jak hopped off his zoomer and walked up the ramp, the door opened automatically as he entered. Jak walked through the door he entered the airlock system of the Shield Walls of Haven City. Once the large door behind him closed once again, the door in front of him opened to let him out of the bounds of Haven City, and into the Precursor Temple.
He stood on a small grass covered ledge, nearby the edge of a chasm that seemed to be bottomless, without even looking, Jak ran for the warp ring on the ledge and jumped through, teleporting him to another ledge on the other side of the chasm. Jak then ran through a gap between the rocks and jumped on to a small circular platform. The platform glowed as it started moving. It carried Jak to an archway and the entrance of Haven Forest. The sounds of nature filled the air as moonlight filtered through the treetops as the small river trickled with life. He did not know what he had in mind coming to the forest, but the next thing he knew, he was running down the slopes into the midst of the trees. Jak ran and ran, dodging trees and trying to push back the tears welling up in his eyes. Jak knew his mentor's death was his fault, he should have escorted Samos himself. Why did he not get there in time. Jak ran faster and faster as he felt the tears flow more and more. He could not stop himself crying before he had to stop running. Jak had reached the other side of this part of the forest, and climbed the stairs formed in rock as he entered the next part of the forest.
Memories flooded into Jak as he walked. A large tree grew in front of him, surrounded by stone totems overgrown with weeds and vines, and a low wall. Jak had remembered that only weeks ago, he had defended his mentor from waves and waves of Krimson Guard. He sat at the base of the tree, in the spot he had seen Samos sit time and time before, and just cried. Butterflies fluttered overhead, completely unaware of the young man pouring his soul out underneath them. Jak cried and cried. Sometimes would stand and throw a rock at a nearby totem, breaking off a section of an eye, but still the hurting in Jak's heart would not go away. He did not hear the footsteps of another walk up behind him until a branch snapped. Jak spun around, ready for a fight, but broke out into tears once again at the sight of a familiar face, brushing tears and green hair out of her eyes. Keira ran into Jak's arms, and he could feel her warm tears through his tunic. They stood together, in an embrace. Keira had been crushed from the news of her fathers death as well, even Jak could tell that. So they stood in silence in each others embrace under the tree the great Samos once sat.
Alrighty done another chapter... I hope that wasn't too much for you all and please review!
