Jak was merely gazing opened mouth at the Silo. It was opened. All that he
had gone through so long ago was wasted, all of it thrown down the drain.
He was mad and everyone knew what happened to Jak when he got mad. His
breathing got heavy and a few bolts of Dark Eco shot from him but before
anything drastic could happen Keria rested her hand on his shoulder.
Ashelin and Torn were the first people who went up to the edge of the Silo. They were merely staring down into it Jak noticed and nothing unusual was happening. Dark Eco wasn't pouring out twisting everything it touched. Something was wrong. Jak slowly walked up to them.
"What's the prob-...?" said Jak staring down into the Silo himself. He just stared in awe and wonder, it was empty.
"Samos!" yelled Jak, not tearing his gaze away from the bottomless pit. "We have a situation over here."
"What's the prob-...? GREAT YAKOW BONES!" yelled the Green Sage. "It's all gone!"
Daxter hopped on some shoulders and landed finally on Torn's. "But... but.... Who... what... where... when... why?!"
Before they could answer thought they heard a chilling voice behind them, one Jak had only twice before, one that belonged to Jak's most feared enemy. Gol. "Don't act so surprised, Samos. You knew it was inevitable..."
Jak, Daxter, Torn and Ashelin all spun around and saw him. Gol, the sage of Dark Eco was hovering above them. The two hundred year imprisonment had not been kind to him. His hair and beard were no longer flowing but very haggard. His skin was burned and scorched and burned in many places, and his robes were reduced to torn rags.
"Gol?" said Samos in disbelief. "What are you doing here?"
"Surely you didn't think we were dead Samos." aid another voice, female this time. "You must've known that Dark Eco couldn't harm us anymore."
Jak snapped. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE? WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST DIE?"
"Watch your cheek, boy." said Gol evilly. "All will be made clear soon enough." Gol turned and studied the faces before him.
"Hmm..." muttered Maia. "Samos you're here and so is your spawn," she said shooting a look at Keria. "And the furry one also... Who are we missing?"
Jak stepped forward again.
"Looking for me?" he asked.
Gol and Maia studied him for a bit and then Gol burst out laughing.
"It's you isn't it!" he wailed pointing at him. "You destroyed our robot and damned us to that prison."
"Yeah," Jak said crossing his arms and subtly gripping the handle of his gun, already in Peace-Maker mode. "Come to thank me?"
"Very the contrary," said Maia. "After we deal with your precious city we'll deal with you."
"I have a better idea," said Jak slowly pulling his gun out and charging it. "Let's make peace."
And with that Jak fed a Peace-Maker shot into each of them The electricity sizzled over them as it always did with Metal-Heads he shot but when it stopped nothing had happened.
"You didn't honestly think that toy could do anything to us." laughed Gol. "Dark Eco has given us power greater than we could imagine. And soon we will show that beauty to the world."
"Oh please," shot Daxter. "Not that crap again. We kicked your asses last time you tried the whole 'enlighten the world' crap."
"Ah but this time," said Maia gesturing towards the Wastelands. "We have something more powerful than mere Lurkers to help us."
The group tore their gaze from the two Sages to the Wastelands. I wasn't the dark mountainous regions they had seen before. Now it was swimming in a sea of gold, the gold was Metal-Heads skull gems.
"We'll give you four days to prepare your defenses before we strike." said Gol. He turned to Jak.
"I hope you enjoyed your life so far because in four days it'll be over."
But before he could fly off Jak grabbed his beard and pulled his face close to his.
"Make my day..." he sneered.
Gol spat at his feet and he and Maia flew down into the Silo, down into darkness. The six looked at each other until finally Torn spoke.
"What do we do now?"
Ashelin and Torn were the first people who went up to the edge of the Silo. They were merely staring down into it Jak noticed and nothing unusual was happening. Dark Eco wasn't pouring out twisting everything it touched. Something was wrong. Jak slowly walked up to them.
