Chapter Eight

"All Wastelander attack the remaining enemy, Jak out" Jak got back into the dune buggy and went to where the battle was occurring. As he got closer he could hear gunfire and explosions. Then he saw the Dark Maker ship was firing weapons at the Wastelanders. "This thing has more fire power then all of the Wastelanders combined!" Daxter said. "You're right" Jak said and took out his comm. and called Ashelin. "Ashelin, the Wastelanders need help send everything you got, this is very important" Jak said. "Understood, I'll get right on it, Ashelin out" "We have to hold it off until the reinforcements can come" Jak said. "How are we supposed to stop it?" Daxter said. "I have an idea, you probably wont like it, but it's the best shot we got" Jak said.

Jak saw a Hellcat flying towards the city and thought "That must be Ashelin getting her forces." Jak got the Dune Buggy near one of the legs and said "Ready?" "As ready as you can get I guess" said Daxter. "Now!" Jak screamed. They jumped out of the dune buggy and onto the leg of the Dark Maker ship. Jak used his light Jak flash freeze when they landed and they climbed up the leg to a hatch. As they entered the Light Jak wore off. "Well now that were in it I want to know how are we getting out?" asked Daxter. "I'll think of something" Jak said.

Jak worked his way up to the command center. Surprisingly enough there were no Dark Makers. This got him very curious. "This doesn't seem right. Where are all of the Dark Makers?" asked Jak. "I can answer that question" said Veger as he walked towards them. "You see, the Dark Makers are in stasis, they are auto programmed to come out of stasis as soon as this vessel gets into Spargus. "Then who is controlling the ship?" asked Jak. "The ship is being controlled by the computer at the moment, I was just controlling it a moment ago when I has this thing step on a few of your friends I'd imagine." Veger said. "Veger you son of a…" but before Jak could finish Veger lifted his gun and said "Son of a what?" Jak could feel the Dark eco surging through his veins. "Daxter, I thought I shot you, why are you still alive?" Veger asked. To which Daxter replied "You'd think you would be dead by now with all of the people who hate you, do you have any friends?" "Why you little…" said Veger. Jak interrupted and said "Lets finish this one on one, no guns". "You want a fight you got a fight" said Veger and he through his gun down. Jak through his gun to the floor, near Daxter. Jak and Veger walked towards each other and Veger through the first punch.

There was a furious exchange of blows. Jak started to punch him in the face but Veger blocked it and punched him in the stomach. Jak rushed at him and knocked him to the ground and start to kick him. Veger did a roll and brought a gun out. Jak stopped immediately and said "I though we agreed no guns" "I never agreed to anything" Veger said and got up. He wiped the blood from his face. "Well you a skilled fighter Jak, I'll grant you that" Veger said and lifted his gun. "This almost takes the fun out of killing you… almost." Time seemed to stand still Veger exclaimed but then Daxter said "Hey Vulgar, you're right it does almost take the fun out of killing you" and shot Veger with Jak's gun that he left on the ground.

Veger fell to the ground, dead. "Thanks Daxter, I though I was a goner" said Jak. "No problem, I always wanted to do that to him" said Daxter. Jak smiled and said "OK, we have to get to the control center before this thing gets to Spargus. Jak ran to the control center as fast as he could. When he got there he saw the view screen. He could see that they were almost in Spargus. "Jak, you know what you have to do, it's been nice riding on your shoulder" said Daxter. Jak pulled out his gun and said "It been fun Dax" and shot at the control panels.

Ashelin had gotten her forces together and were flying to the Dark Maker ship when they saw that it exploded. Keira who had been sitting next to her in the Hellcat asked "How did they kill that?" "I'm not sure" Ashelin replied. "Ashelin to Damas, what just happened?" "I'm not sure, none of our men hit it." "Ashelin to Jak…" she waited but there was no reply. "Come in Jak…" Ashelin said. Ashelin set the Hellcat down where Damas was. "Has Jak reported in?" "No, one of the Wastelander brought his dune buggy back and said there was no one in it. Another one said they saw Jak jump from his dune buggy onto the Dark Maker ship. Since our men didn't hit it that hard I can only assume he hit some kind of auto destruct thing… While he was inside…" said Damas.

Jak was in a pure white room. Daxter was on his shoulder. A Precursor came to him and said "Your planet is no longer in danger, we have spared your life". "Why?" Jak asked. "Because we need your help. Your planet is not only one that the Dark Makers have tried to conquer. The Dark Makers have been trying to take over other planets from us and make them evil. We need people like you to help other planets that are also in danger from the Dark Makers." "But why do you need me?" asked Jak. The Precursor replied "Because you are our emissary. Your mother was a Precursor, and your father was the great warrior Damas."

"So why didn't Damas raise me?" asked Jak. "Veger kidnapped you and separated you from him because he knew there was something special about you. He thought that if he could raise you he could take over the world. Samos got you away from him and took you back in time where you were raised with him. The rest you know" said the precursor. "Oh my God" Jak said. "Will you help us?" asked the Precursor. "But what about my life on my planet?" said Jak. The Precursor replied "You are not linear like they are we can send you back at anytime, but we still have much to teach you before you can go, only things that us Precursors can teach you." "Can I do something before we begin?" asked Jak.

Keira was sitting with Damas and Ashelin in the HQ and all of the sudden everything went white and Ashelin and Damas were gone. She looked around and said "Hello… is anybody there?" Jak appeared behind her and said "Keira". She turned around and ran over to him and gave him a hug and said "Jak! You're alive!" "Um… Keira" he said. "You are alive aren't you?" she asked. "Keira I have to leave, the Precursors have asked me to help them save other worlds" he said. "When will you be coming back?" she asked. "Maybe a year, maybe yesterday…" he replied. He gave he a kiss on the head and said "I love you Keira, I will return to you". Then he disappeared and she was back in the HQ. Ashelin and Damas were standing over Keira. "Keira are you alright?" asked Ashelin. Keira was crying and said "I saw Jak…"
