Chapter Five
Veger laughed and said "I wouldn't be too sure of that" Veger reached into his pocket and pushed a button on a control pad he had pulled out. The Zoomer Veger had used to get to the planet core flew close to where Jak, Daxter, and Veger were standing. Jak watched in horror as he realized what Veger was trying to show him, it was Keira and she was strapped to a few Dark Eco bombs. She saw Jak and screamed "Jak!" Veger smiled and said "If you want to see her alive and in… one piece, you'll listen to me". "What do you want Veger?" "Well let's start with you dead… and go from there…" Keira screamed again "No Jak! Don't do it!"
"Jak I can assure you, if you don't do it she will die" Daxter said to Veger "Listen Vulgar, chances are if you pull that you won't live to see tomorrow" Veger looked at him, and said "Are you still here?" Veger lifted his gun and shot Daxter. Jak rushed at Veger and rammed him to the ground. His control pad fell to the ground near the edge of the platform they were standing on, along with his gun. Veger landed near his gun and tried to get at it, but before he could Jak kicked it away and started punching him. Veger and Jak exchanged a furious exchange of blows.
Veger tried as hard as he could to fight Jak, but he wasn't as young as he used to be. Jak was on top of him beating him. Veger tried his best to fight back but wasn't succeeding. Jak stopped punching him and tore off his sleeve. Veger's face was very bloody; Jak had blood all over him. Jak lifted him up and turned him around and used his sleeve to tie his arms together. He then said "I'll let you live, but you don't deserve my mercy". Jak then threw him back down to the ground, and ran over to Keira. He started to untie her and said "Are you ok?" Keira said "Yes, did you kill him?" "No" said Jak. He got the bombs off of her and untied her arms and legs. She hugged him "Thanks". Jak just embraced her when he realized there was one problem. "DAXTER!" He let go of her and ran over to where Daxter lay. Keira followed him.
As he was running over he thought "Oh my god, be ok Daxter, be ok…" But when he reached him Daxter wasn't moving. He had a gun shot wound in his stomach and there was blood all over him. Jak took his pulse, he was dead. "No, he can't be, he can't be…" Keira reached him and said "Oh no…" Jak got up and walked away from the body. As he walked past Keira she said "Jak…" But Jak just kept walking. Keira knew he needed to be alone right now. He walked over where he had untied Keira. He hit the Vehicle and said "This can't be happening…" "Jak look out!" Keira screamed. Jak started to look up and saw Veger holding his control pad. He pressed the button.
The next thing Jak knew he was in utter blackness. He could hear Keira screaming and Veger laughing. He then said "Daxter…" He was on the ground. He got up and looked around. He had no idea where he was. A blinding light came over him, it was a Precursor. "Daxter will be alright, if you bring him to the mountains, Great Warrior." Jak then remembered what happened "VEGER". The Precursor simply nodded and said "We still have many things for you to do". Jak then said "Why, why me?" The Precursor said "Because there can be no one else." Jak said "That doesn't explain anything, you have to tell me!" The Precursor said "You will learn in time" Then he disappeared. Jak screamed "TELL ME!"
He opened his eyes. Keira was crying over him. He had burns all over him, it was extremely painful. He began to get up and Keira screamed. "Keira it's all right." Keira looked like she had just seen a ghost. "But you were just dead." Jak said "I was dead…?" He realized that the Precursor must have saved his life. "Veger, where is he?" Keira said "He took your Vehicle and left". Blood was running down his face. Keira looked at him, and said "I'm glad your alright I thought…" she came close to him and kissed him. He felt an immense force go off. The Planetary Weapon system fired. The light it gave off was even more blinding then what the Precursor gave off. All he could see was white.
Keira said "It's over". Jak got up and walked over to a control panel in extreme pain. "I wouldn't be too sure of that" he said. The screen showed that the ship was destroyed, but two smaller ships were launched before it was. Jak walked away from the control panel and said "We can't worry about that now though; we have to get to the mountains." "Why?" asked Keira. Jak walked over to Daxter's Body and said "Hopefully we can bring Daxter back to life if we do." Keira looked at him and said "But how?" "I'm not sure yet, all I know is that we have to go to the mountains."
Keira said "Jak, the Precursor vehicle is gone, how are we supposed to get back?" Jak didn't say anything. All of the sudden a light came out of no where and Jak started to levitate in it. His burns began to heal. He became white as a Precursor, and grew wings. His burns were completely gone now. Jak extended an arm out toward Keira. She took it and Jak grabbed onto her. He started flapping his wings and they started up the tube. Keira looked at Jak in amazement as they flew up the tube. She had never seen him when he was Light Jak, or Dark Jak for that matter. They made their way up the tube and Jak landed near the entrance. Jak turned back to his normal self. He looked around and said "Ok, let's go" and started to walk into the Metal Head part of the city.
Keira looked at Jak, and said "Jak, that was amazing." Jak simply said "Thanks" Jak looked around and saw no Zoomers in sight. Jak took out his gun and said "Stick close." They walked through the Metal Head part of the city. Keira looked very scared. "Have you been here before, Jak?" said Keira. "Yes, unfortunnally" said Jak. He came to the Area where he had killed all of the Metal Heads that ambushed him. "Jak, look!" said Keira. Jak saw up ahead, Jinx's body was on the ground. Keira buried her head in his chest. Jak looked at his body and simply nodded. They walked around the bodies. "Jak you must have seen some awful things in your adventures" "Jak turned around and said "Yes, I have seen things that you would only see in your nightmares. I fear real things that you never even thought existed."
"Jak I never knew…" said Keira "I have never told anyone but you" She smiled and said "Why did you tell me" Jak looked into her eyes and said "Well I guess because I feel closer to you then everyone else". He set Daxter's body down and walked over to her and gave her a hug. "A lot closer to you…" Keira looked at him and said "Jak I love…" But before she could finish what she was saying Metal Heads started coming out of no where and attacking them. Jak shot at them, but more and more kept coming. Jak looked at Keira as he was shooting and said "KEIRA GET DOWN!" Keira ducked and Jak shot a Metal Head that was in the air about to attack her. More Metal Heads came and Jak couldn't keep them all back. They start to get to Jak and hurt him. Jak managed to keep them away from Keira, but there were just too many of them. Keira began to scream, they were almost on top of her. Jak got the Metal Head that were on him off of him and ran to her. A white light came to him once again. He became Light Jak and clapped his hands together, he used his Light Jak flash freeze. He looked at where Keira was on the ground. She had her arm up trying to protect herself. Metal Head had its claw in the air ready to stab her.
