Response to review:
Lunatic Pandora1: I was thinking of making Jak go Dark Jak sometime, just finding it hard to put it where and why. He does go light Jak though twice a bit later. once during the midpoint of the story and a little after that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jak and Daxter were back sitting upon Zuk as he flew threw the air over the docks and straight towards the Ice Castle. The snow was coming down a bit harder now, but with everything that as going on today the snow was the last thing on their minds.
Zuk swooped down and landed in front of the Castle as he let Jak and Daxter get off. Daxter walked over and patted Zuk on his leg and also giving him thanks, when he noticed that Zuks leg where Jak had cut him yesterday was healed. Daxter opened his mouth to ask how that happened but Zuk started talking before Daxter could get the words out.
"I'm going to wait outside, do what ever you need to do," He said as he sat down on the ground and rested his head on his arms again. Daxter then turned away from the dragon as the draw bridge started to lower. Jak was halfway across and Daxter had to run to keep up with him.
Chasmin was down in the entrance room again. She looked rather pleased, until Jaks expression caught her eyes. The two guys stopped walking and Chasmin noticed the box that Jak was holding.
"That was not a frist raid, was it? Those Minks were never going to get into the city were they Chasmin?" Jak asked and the Ice Queen looked away from him and towards the ground. "Well?"
"No they were never going to harm the city, just the wall," Chasmin said and this almost make Jak turn around and leave the Castle.
"Ashelin was right, you are a liar and we can't trust you," Jak said but Chasmin held up her hand.
"Let me explain," She said.
"Not if your going to keep lying to our faces," Daxter said, Jak had explained to Daxter on the way over here all his worries and how Ashelin might have hit the nail with this woman.
"I was scared!"
"Of what?" Jak asked sharply.
"You all are running around asking your selves if you should trust me! Don't you think I have the same feelings towards you? What if Vector was right and you were spies for Tyon. Then of course I would not tell you that the minks were after the magic scroll! I had to know for sure if you were with Tyon or really on my side," Chasmin said, truth be told, Jak or Daxter never considered this little tid bit of information.
"Minks are harmless huh?" Daxter asked.
"Practically, even if they all jump on you, their claws are used for tracking, not for killing," Chasmin explained and the guys now understood why they had left that fight with out a mark on them. "I didn't mean to lie, but a Queen has many enemies and she must protect herself. I'm sorry my kingdom is worth lying for, but if you want then leave, I wont stop you or hurt you, nor your friends."
"Well, we said we were on your side. If you know as much about us as you say then you should know we work on-" Daxter started but Chasmin interrupted him, more or less finishing his sentence.
"The side of good, peace and love," Chasmin said and crossed her arms. "What do you think I'm trying to save? I don't enjoy war, people die. Families are broken apart and it's hard to sleep at night."
Chasmin turned around and placed her hand on a statue that was behind her. Ice started to form around her hand as she removed it quickly from the stone. Jak and Daxter looked up at the large statue, they really had not paid much attention to it tell now. Saying most of the times in this castle they were either running, being teleported or trying not to get angry.
"My mother," Chasmin said as she tried to pick the ice off of the stone. "The most honest women ever to live. She was looked up to and adored. Everything that came out of that womans mouth was nothing but honesty truth and love."
"What happened to her?" Daxter asked and Jak held on tightly to the box in his hands, not really knowing what he was going to do with it.
"Tyon, One morning I rose from my bed and headed for the Throne room to greet my mother like any other morning," Chasmin said as she took a step away from the stone so she could look up at the head of it. "Instead of my mother I found a sliver tray with a note from Tyon. It said 'good morning my love, from Tyon'. I took off the lid of the try to find my mothers head."
Daxter looked a little horror stuck as he looked over at Jak. Jak really did not have an expression as Chasmin went on with her little story.
"I screamed and fled the room only to find Tyon out in the hall, holding the Blue heart crystal in his hands, chanted a few words and cursed me with the power of ice. The Blue heart crystal sits as a reminder to me of the curse that I have...." Chasmin said as she looked down at her hands. "He let me keep it to."
"But I thought...what about the Black heart Crystal?" Daxter asked and Chasmin turned towards him.
"Thats how the curse is lifted from me," Chasmin said as she looked over at Jak. "Mar, I hope you understand why I had to lie to you."
"I guess I can forgive you, saying you had the right to wonder about us as much as we wondered about you. Here," Jak said as he took the box and extended it out to Chasmin. She looked a little confused at frist but then she reached out and took the box.
"Thank you Mar, you shall not go unrewarded," Chasmin said and Jak hoped he had done the right thing.
With a flick of her wrist the wooden box opened, the box fell to the ground as a small scroll was now floating in the air. Daxter and Jak watched with astonishment as Chasmin flicker her wrist one more time and the scroll unrolled its self.
"Mar, holder of Frizts, I grant you the power of flame!" Chasmin said and as the words spilled out of her mouth a red light wrapped around Jak. He lifted off the ground a foot or so. When she finished Jak dropped back on his feet as a new kind of power shot threw his body. "And Daxter, Holder of Mazt, I grant you the power of lightning!"
Daxter was lifted off the ground as well as a yellow light wrapped around him. A different kind of feeling jolted threw his body. Like he had stuck a wet finger in a light socket. Daxter shivered slightly as the feeling past, the guys looked at Chasmin as she waved her hand around in the circle. The scroll rolled up once again and then disappeared.
"What was that?" Jak asked a little surprised by their gifts.
"Not only did you gain the skills to use the blade. But when you hold that sword in your hand you can now use the magic of fire. And Daxter lighting. But sence you two are not mages you can't use the magic with out holding the sword. When you find the other two sword wielders bring them back here and I shall grant them their power as well," Chasmin said and Daxter looked down at his hands as small sparks shot from his finger tips.
"Whoa...thanks," Daxter said and Jak nodded in agreement though he really could not find the words to thank the Ice Queen. She had tested them, he was trying to figure out a way that they could test her for her trust.
But Jaks thoughts came to a stop as the castle gave a violent shake. Jak and Daxter had not fallen over but Chasmin lost her balance and fell onto the ground. She hit down on her shoulder first, then her head hit the ground as the castle stopped moving. Daxter moved towards the Ice Queen to help her, but he stopped, if he touched her he would turn to ice.
Chasmin pushed up on the ground slightly as her shoulder throbbed. She looked around the room before getting to her knees. She did not look happy one bit.
"Damn those fucking vines!" Chasmin cursed and Jak blinked at her reaction to the movement of her castle. Those were not queen like words. "Tyon and his stupid obsession for plants!"
"You mean the Dark King is the reason for the vines?" Daxter asked.
"Yes, who else would think of blood pumping vines," Chasmin said as something hit into her back and she went flying back into the ground, this time face first. She let out a loud shreek as the cold floor scrapped against her fair skin.
The two guys looked at where the blast had come from. Standing in the castle as if it was his own was the Dark King Tyon. His beauty was just as great as Chasmin's. He was dressed in all black and his skin was as pale and fair as the Ice Queens. His eyes were black and red and his hair was as dark as his clothes. Every part of his skin was covered besides his face.
He lowered his hand, pleased that his first attack had hit Chasmin and she had not even caught on to it. Chasmin rolled over on the ground so she was facing upwards as she looked up in horror towards Tyon. He smirked slightly as he glanced over at the two guys.
"My dear sweet Chasmin, you have blood coming down your lovely cheek," He said, his voice was as dark as his outfit and almost as deep as Zuks. Chasmin touched her face and to her horror Tyon was completely right. There was blood on her face from when she had landed on it. She looked at her own blood as it was starting to burn her fingers. Though she was an Ice queen her blood was a lot warmer then her outer shell.
Chasmin screamed loaded as she rubbed the blood on her dress. The pain was shooting through her body as if she had jumped into a pit of fire. Daxter gripped his sword and swung it at Tyon, but he gasped as his sword went right threw him.
Tyon was not really in the room, it was a hologram of him. Daxter back up away from the image of Tyon as he smirked once more and disappeared completely. But he had left them a gift as well, crawling down the walls were 3 of the biggest spiders Daxter had ever seen in his life. Daxter let out a strange sound as Chasmin keep screaming and crying as she was trying to stoop the flow of blood from her cheek.
Jak found himself taking hold of his sword carefully as the spiders were now approaching him and Daxter. Jak felt warmth go threw his skin, though he wanted to use his new magical powers, he did not think he should around Chasmin. If her blood was causing her this much pain then his fire magic would not help her get any better.
One of the spiders jumped at Jak. He side stepped as the Spider landed on the ground and made a small hissing sound towards him. Jak brought his sword down at the spider but it had copied his tactic and side stepped as well, this was going to make the fight a little more complicated. The spider lunged again and Jak flipped backwards out of the range of the attack.
And to test to see if the spider was really copying him Jak did the same attack towards the spider as before. Just as he thought the spider backflipped out of the way. Jak tighten his grip on his sword, even though he did want to use his magic it might have to come down to that. The spider shattered his thoughts as it spit a web at Jak. Jak moved it was not to hard to dodge.
However thats what the spider had been hoping for. Its web stuck on the wall behind Jak and the spider shot threw the air towards the wall. But when it reached near Jak the spider bit on its own wed and it went smack dab into the unsuspecting Jak.
The two of them feel to the ground as The spider hissed again, it was about to attack when Jak pulled his feet to his chest. He kicked up hard on the spider and it went flying up in the air. As the spider was falling back towards the ground Jak shot his sword up in the air and into the spiders abdomen. The spider squeaked and hissed as Jak moved his arm downward so the spider would hit the floor.
As the spider hit the ground Jaks eyes burned and an instant later the spider caught on fire as well. Jak was a little taken back but he did not fight the magic as he watched the spider burn from it's roasting position on his sword. Jak then shook the spider off his sword and the fire disappeared and all that was left was some burnt spider parts.
Daxter was a little shaken when his spider came running towards him, Minks were one thing. He had never seen them before yesterday, he had no reason to fear them. But Daxter had a small fear for spiders, and a larger fear for bigger ones. The spider lurched at Daxter as he jumped in the air. The spider went under him as Daxter turned around.
He brought his sword swinging down at the spider but it jumped backwards making Daxter hit the ground instead. Daxter jumped forward and slashed his sword forward, his sword slashed across the spiders face as it screamed in pain as it rolled over. Again quick to act Daxter sent out another attack but this time the spider ducked under his swing, the spider sent it's front leg threw the air and it slashed across Daxters face, a mirror cut to the one Daxter had given to him.
Daxter jumped back as he touched the blood on his face then narrowed his eyes. Daxter kicked off the stone floor and went shooting towards the bug. He threw horizontal swing and the spider dodged as he swung downwards. The spider jumped into the air, taking this a que, Daxter flipped backwards hitting the spider even higher. The spider then attached its self to the wall as it hissed down at Daxter.
A little annoyed that the spider had did that Daxter pointed his sword at it and yelled slightly. A flash went shooting threw the room as lighting hit the spider, the spider squeaked and fell over on the ground. Daxter stood there for a moment but a small smile appeared on his face as he swung his sword threw the air once again. As his sword hit the stone again another bolt of lightning smashed into the spiders back making it screech.
Then for a finishing blow Daxter jumped in the air, spun slightly and sliced the spider in half as he landed. The two spider parts split apart and landed on the ground. Daxter smiled as he turned around to give Jak a thumbs up as he just finished shaking his dead spider off his sword.
Both of the guys had been so into their one on one battle with a spider that they had completely forgotten there had been a third one lurking up on the walls. Chasmin finally managed to get her pain down slightly as she turned her head sharply to where Jak was standing. The third spider finally dropped to the ground and expanded it's fangs behind Jak. Jak spun around and Daxter gasped.
"MAR!" Chasmin screamed as she pushed herself up to her knees quickly and threw her hands together. A beam shot out of her hands, it hit Jak. A chill ran threw his body as Chasmin's beam hit him. He covered his face from the spider, but to his surprises the spider never hit him. Jak opened his eyes as there was some kind of shield around him. The spider tried to bite him again but it hit the ice shield and let out an angry sound.
"Polar winds!" Chasmin screamed as another energy blast flew from her hands, This time Jak dropped down on the ground as the bast went over him. The Ice shield exploded and the spider went flying into the draw bridge. With such a great impact the draw bridge fell down and the spider bounced once then laid on the wood not moving.
Chasmins head started to get dizzy as her blood started running once again from the attack she had used. She then fell over on the cold ground in a faint. Jak stood up as he and Daxter looked up as they heard a strange rumbling sound. A part of the statue of Chasmin's mother was falling.
Daxter gasped as the head of the statue was falling towards the ground. It was going to smash Chasmin! Daxter threw his sword to the side and went running towards the knocked out queen. He dove towards the ground, his arms wrapped around the Ice queen as he rolled out of the way as the giant stone head smashed on to the ground where Chasmin once laid.
Jaks heart gave a leap as he picked Daxters sword up and ran over towards him. Daxter was going to be the death of the Jak as Jak felt his heart pounding in his chest. It felt like it was going to rip out of place! Jak let out a small sigh as Daxter, thanking his lucky stars had not been harmed in the falling of the head.
"Daxter I swear next time you get killed I wont be crying!" Jak said more of relief then anger. Daxter got to his feet shivering as he walked over to Jak rubbing his arms as he had starting feeling the effects of Chasmins curse.
"Yo yo you won wont havvve too to worry!" Daxter said as he rubbed his arms. Jak held up his sword and smiled a bit as his sword caught on fire and Daxter sighted greatfuly. "There wont be a next time Jak, I wont die again."
Jak put the fire out on his sword as Chasmin started to stuir a little as she looked up. Her vision was kind of blurry but she watched as the third spider go back to its feet on the bridge. She looked up at the guys as they looked down at her. She pointed her arm in the air as she collapsed on the floor once again. Jak and Daxter turned around as the spider leaped towards them. They did not have time to act this time, Daxter hugged Jak as the spider was getting closer.
"HA!!!" The heard a voice scream as if it was right in their ear. Something, or someone had hit the giant spider just as it's fangs were about to bit down upon them. However instead of biting the guys the spider split in half and the pieces of the spider went past Jak and Daxter. However the spider blood and guts splashed out and hit the two guys as they were still standing there holding onto one another.
Daxter let go of Jak as he wiped some of the gook off his face and flicked it onto the ground. Jak did the same thing and they both looked up at the exactly the same time as they both wanted to see the face of their savior. They were not expecting this.
There in front of them standing with a sword over her shoulder. She had her other hand on her hip as she looked a little bit displeased. She had on a Black strapless shirt (that showed her back) and a mini black skirt. Her boot's were black leather and so were her gloves.
"TESS?!" Daxter yelled in complete astonishment.
"Babe I thought you went over the wall, what are you doing in this freezing castle?" Tess asked as she walked over to Daxter and taking her sword from off her shoulder as she looked over at Jak.
"Well we finished the wall stuff, and then we came back here to meet with the Queen. Remember we picked a side of the battle?" Daxter asked and She looked past them to Chasmin who was still laying on the ground.
"Thats the Queen? What happened to her?" Tess asked as she was about to bend down and touch her but Daxter pulled her away.
"Don't, you'll turn to ice," Daxter said as they needed someway to help Chasmin. They did not want to touch her in fear of turning to a popsiccel. But if they did not stop her bleeding she was going to die. And not by blood loss because it was not really that much blood coming out of her cheek.
"The snow," Jak said as he looked at the fallen draw bridge. He handed his sword to Daxter as he went out of the castle and into the snow. He removed his shirt and threw it down on the ground. He then started scooping up snow in his hands and put it on his shirt. Once he had most of his shirt covered in snow he took two sides of his shirt and went back into the castle.
Jak put the snow down by Chasmin as he picked up some more in his hand and put it down on the wound on her face. He then took some more and placed it on her hand that she had touched her cheek with. Tess got down on the ground as well and help Jak put the snow on the Ice queen. When there was none left the got back to their feet as Chasmin started to stuir once again.
The snow was absorbed into her body and the wound on her face closed. Her eyes opened as she pushed herself up to her feet, she almost feel over at first but she regained her balance and looked at the people who were in her castle. Each one of them was holding a sword. She beamed as she put her hand to her forehead and looked at Tess.
"Another sword wilder!" Chasmin said excitedly as she took in a deep breath and Gave Tess a slight bow. Tess nodded back as she put her sword on her shoulder where it had originally been and looked at the beauty of this woman. Chasmin was about to flick her wrist in the air as she turned around and gasped in horror as she looked at the stone head that was now in her room.
Tears formed in the Ice Queens eyes as she ran over to the statue and put her arms on it. Her small tears became sobs as she turned her head slowly as if someone had just told her mother had died again. She dropped down to her knees and put her hands to her face as there was a long moment of silence as the Ice Queen just sobbed at this horrible sight.
"He just can't let her rest in peace can he?" Chasmin said after a while of sobbing. She wiped her tears out of her eyes as she got back to her feet and looked at the statue. "Not only did he behead my mother when she was alive, he has to do it to her statue as well?"
"I'm sorry," Daxter said as Chasmin then flicked her wrist in the air and the magic scroll appeared once again.
"Everything will be all right soon," Chasmin said as she looked over at Daxter. "Now that the swordsmen are coming, soon, all the evil in this land will be banished, thanks to the goodness in your hearts....Tess holder of Uici, I grant you the power of wind!"
A slight chill ran threw Tess as the same magical power shot threw her body that happened to Jak and Daxter. She was lifted into the air and then dropped as a slight shiver ran down her spine. Daxter looked at Tess still with disbelief in his eyes, Ashelin had not been able to pull a sword, but Tess could? Of course he knew Tess made weapons, was that the reason why the sword picked her?
"Peace will come back to Haven city! Right guys?" Tess asked and Jak was having a little problem adjusting to this as well. He never fought with Tess before. Infact he had never seen her fight at all! But she had came in the nick of time to save them from that spider.
"Right!" Daxter chimed in as he looked towards the Ice Queen. "Whats next on the 'to do' list?"
"Nothing, I don't want to put any of you in harms way," Chasmin said and the three kind of just stared at the Ice queen.
"But....what about Tyon?" Jak asked a little confused, so they had almost been killed, one of them had died. But they were not going to give up. The whole point of getting these swords were so they could put them to good use!
"If you three go to the Black Castle now you shall surly die! There is no way you can fight any of Tyon's forces with out the fourth swordsmen!" Chasmin said "I wont sent you on suicide missions."
"But what if the fourth swordsmen is never found? What then?" Daxter asked and Chasmin sighed.
"I've sent a searcher to find the last person, they have to be somewhere in Haven city. But your right Tyon might have already found him or her. He can be invisible at will and sneak into any ones homes kill them blindly," Chasmin said. "But if you must do something, I sence one of Tyon's most powerful forces is about to reach the city limits. Who needs a full army when you have a Dragon?"
"You mean there is more then one dragon?" Jak asked referring to Zuk.
"There are five Dragons all together, Red, Black, Purple and Red," Chasmin said as she crossed her arms. "Red, Black and purple were all Tyon's Dragons, I only have one The white dragon whom has been sleeping for ages."
"You said there were five dragons, but you only named off four," Tess commented, Jak and Daxter had also caught onto that as well. Chasmin looked towards the ground as if she did not want anyone to know what she was about to tell them.
"The fifth dragon, the most violent heartless creature to ever have been born. Its hard to say this but that dragon is more evil then Tyon. Tyon tried for the longest time to get it on his side, but that dragon almost killed him. Its a ruthless killing machine when it comes out of it's safe haven," Chasmin said as she walked back and forth as if that dragon was about to attack her right now.
"Where is that?" Daxter asked.
"The water, The God of Dragons, is the blue Dragon of water...."
They did not need any more information because each of them knew where the God of dragons safe haven was. Jak and Daxter had seen it on the first day of this whole mess, who knew that the God of Dragons safe haven was right outside the Naughty Ottsel and in the water of the Haven City Docks.
A/N:: Now you all know whats in the water of the docks! In the original plans for 'Unfortunate Fantasy' Tess was not going to be a sword wilder. But as I started writing, I re-wrote my notes to make her one. Cause I started to really like writing Tess in the story and wanted a bigger more important part for her. Saying everyone else has really big parts. Even Lucca! (will get to thats soon). So I changed it to Tess being a sword holder. Okay we are taking a brake from Jak/Daxter/Tess/Chasmin/Tyon/Samos/Kiera/Zuk and the next chapter is all about Ashelin/Torn and them learning some magic. It starts off right where we left off with Ashelin and Torn in chapter 9. So a little traveling back in time. It might be the longest chapter yet, but yeah about them and after chapter 13 it's back to the rest of um :D
