Ekobean: Nothing to say here. Read. It's the law.
For the longest time nobody dared to move or breathe. The surface of the White Eco pool bubbles for several seconds before gradually dying down to the slowly turning, shining whirlpool.
Suddenly Maia began laughing. It was a small chuckle at first, but then slowly rose to a high-pitched shriek. "It appears, Samos, that your savior could not handle the raw econetic power of the White Eco! Now your pitiful city shall pay the price for its insolence. The power of Dark Eco cannot be held back!"
Maia motioned with her hand toward the crumpled heap that was Dark Jak. Like a puppet, Dark Jak rose and looked over at the remaining forces of Haven City. "My loyal servant," Maia whispered, "kill them all."
Dark Jak slowly began to march toward the remainder of Haven's forces. Purple lightning shot from his body with every step, and the very stone beneath him seemed to sizzle at his footfalls.
The Forces raised their guns defensively. "Stay back, freak!" Shady spat.
Dark Jak growled and continued coming. Yet, about twenty feet from his victims, he stopped. The left side of his mouth twitched in a spastic jerk. His eyelids fluttered and closed. Dark Jak straightened suddenly and turned toward the hovering Maia. "What are you doing!" Maia yelled, "I gave you an order! Now kill!"
Dark Jak bowed respectfully and then, with an inhuman scream, charged full tilt straight toward Maia. He leaped an incredible fifty feet toward the outraged sage and plowed into her, catching her around the waist and slammed her to the ground. Maia screeched and fired a Dark Eco beam into the creature. Dark Jak was sent flying backward and landed twenty feet away. A wide grin was spread across his pale face.
"Die, traitor!" Maia yelled and fired an enormous Eco Beam at Dark Jak. The beam hit the creature with great force, and for a moment it seemed that Dark Jak would be engulfed. But then the receiving end of the beam began to weaken and shrink. As the beam died away it was visible what was happening. The beam was feeding into Dark Jak. It was not killing him or even hurting him, but helping him.
Dark Jak was absorbing Maia's powers.
"Maia stop!" Samos cried, "he's taking your powers! You're feeding him! Stop now or you'll kill us all!"
When Maia responded she seemed on the verge of tears. "I – I can't!" she sobbed, "he's – taking – my..." Maia fell to her knees. She was no longer the semi-youthful wraith she once was, but a hag. A withered, wrinkled old woman, and the power continued to drain. And before the horrified citizen's eyes, Maia disintegrated and fell, shattering into a pile of dust.
For ten horrible seconds nothing happened. Dark Jak just stood there, breathing heavily. Then suddenly his body convulsed. He doubled over in great pain, and began to scream. The changes were visible almost immediately. His body mass increased threefold, his clothing tearing almost indefinitely. His claws lengthened to five inches and his feet became almost dinosaur like, clawed and scaly. Last but not least were the changes on his back. The bolts of Dark Eco became more and more numerous and suddenly began to take shape.
They wrapped around each other, forming what at last were undoubtedly wings. Dark Jak stood there for several minutes examining himself, and then began to laugh. It was a harsh, guttural snorting that shook the entire cave.
He whipped his head about toward the remainder of the company. His batlike wings spread outward to their full twenty food span. An eruption of gunfire followed almost immediately. The shots of Yellow and Red Eco bounced harmlessly off of the giant's torso. He laughed and raised his hand, charging what would undoubtedly be the end of the group. Seconds before the fatal blast erupted from his hand the burial chamber began to rumble.
The pool of White Eco surged upward in a fountain formation. A form could be seen moving within the flowing pool. A glowing, electric blue, humanoid form. It shot downward and landed gracefully on its feet. It seemed to glow with its own light, its eyes pulsated with a pure white fire. "You will not harm any more, creature," it said.
Keira heaved a sigh of relief. "Jak," she breathed.
Light Jak threw out his arms and two great wings spread from either side, the thin membrane connecting the "fingers" seemed to be made of pure light. "Come on," Light Jak sneered to the hulking giant, "round three."
Dark Jak roared and charged the angelic figure that was Light Jak.
Ekobean: Yes I know it was extremely short but I love to just make you squirm. I am really going to enjoy writing the next chapter, and I'm sure you'll enjoy reading it. Ciao!
