Two Sides to Everything
Disclaimer: I don't own anything from the Jak trilogy of games, they belong to Naughty Dog. The only things I own are my original characters like Colle and Zack.
Sushi: This chapter is going to be short, especally compaired to all of my other chapters. The next one might be even worse. Sorry about that, but this is all I wanted revealed for the moment. I didn't want this to be combined with another chapter because I don't like doing that so I made it it's own chapter. This is a change though, hardly any dialog. Oh, and thank youeskimo'sRsxy for the wonderful review.
(A/N: anyone who has submitted a review will see their name along with a comment or two on my profile page. It makes thinkg a lot easier.)
Chapter 8: The New Enemy
Zack had been in his cell for three days so far. Nothing of intrest ever happened. He did know one thing and that was that his captors weren't Precursors like he had first thought. They were Rosrucerps (A/N: can be pronounced ros-ruc-erps). The Precursors had experimented with Light and Dark eco and the result of their experiments were the Rosrucerps. The two races fought with one another constantly. After years of fighting, the Precursors banished the Rosrucerps.
Zack had learned much from one Rosrucerp in particular. His name was Ewitz. He wasn't like his brethren. He didn't have the anger and hatred in his eyes that the others did. He did however shelter the same desire for revenge against the Precursors for what they had done those many years ago.
Ewitz was whatthey considered the runt of the litter. The other Rosrucerps paid little attention to him. He was able to get Zack enough food from the kitchens when the others were out preparing for their invasion. Ewitz had told Jak much about his leader's future plans. The Rosrucerp wanted to be in on the action as well, but everyone thought him to be weak. So he practiced in front of Zack every day when the coast was clear.
Ewitz was about the same hight of Zack. His slinder form made visible that he would be a great fighter. Patches of orange fur spread out over his thin body where dark green scales didn't cover. This was one major difference between Ewitz and Jak's short friend Daxter. Long claws extended from his paws and his eyes were a deep ocean green (yes green). He was smaller compaired to his fellow Rosrucerps. They were atleast two heads taller than him.
The two of them spent days talking. Zack told him of his home and how he had gotten to be in this world. Ewitz explained that there was something more to the banished Precursor creations. They had a transformation. Unfortunatly, Ewitz was unable to change.
One of the last days Zack spent in his cell, Gurotik, the commanding officer of the scalely ottsels, appeared before the seven year old.
"You are not the one we need. But you will do just as well." He whispered something to Ewitz who was the one to keep watch over the boy. Gurotik suspected that there was a growing relationship between the two but said nothing of it. He left to send out a scouting party into the wastelands once again.
"What did he say?" Zack made sure no one else was near by.
"You are to be used to attract the girl you were with when we found you. She is the one that he is after." Ewitz looked away. Clearly he knew something that he asn't saying.
"Why are they after her? We've never been here before."
"Your sister has the ability to control eco. That is a great power."
"She can't do that. She's normal just like me." Things were so confusing around here!
"If she is then I pray to the Precursors that she isn't caught."
"You're not telling me something. What is it?"
"When your sister is brought here, they are going to kill you. You will no longer be needed." Ewitz walked away to go get the child something to eat.
This was not realy new to Zack. He had almost died before but he didn't know about it. Now he knew but there was nothing he could do. All he could do was hope that he was rescued before the unevitable happened.
Sushi: Sorry for the short chapter. The next one won't be short. After that things start getting better. Don't forget to review.
