Chapter 10

I couldn't really describe how I felt that next day. I felt incredible. I felt like I could wrestle a metal head! Why did I feel so rejuvenated? Beats me! But I loved it! I went on a couple missions for Uncle Torn (I nearly had to beg him for something to do to keep from dying of boredom), and then I fixed up my blaster a little. And after all that, I did a couple money pick-ups for Krew (that guy creeps me out to the max!) and after all that, I practiced on the gun course for a while. Now I was back at the hideout, waiting for something else to do. In the meantime, I was sitting there, fixing up my dad's morph gun while he ran around the city for a while doing who knows what. I sat there happily, dawn watching over my shoulder as usual, humming quietly to myself until finally…

"Jakie," Uncle Torn said suddenly. I perked up and looked over my shoulder at him.

"What's up?" I asked cheerfully. I put down my screwdriver, and set my dad's gun down next to me.

"I just remembered, I've got something for you." Huh? Well, this should be interesting… I stood up and approached his desk, trying to hide how overly curious I really was. "My friend in the Guard told me all about the massacre at the pumping station. How you kicked all their asses with nothing but a metal pole." My face turned red from embarrassment.

"Well, they knocked my gun out of my hands," I said timidly. "The pole just happened to be convenient." He gave me his usual 'I'm proud of you' smirk, and took a long thin white box out from under his desk.

"After I heard about that I figured it's best if you have a secondary weapon just in case," he explained, and then opened the box. My eyes went as wide as grapefruits. There was the most beautiful sword I'd ever seen. The blade was long and thin, curved slightly at the end. The hilt was either silver or platinum. I couldn't really tell, and there was a sapphire embedded in the tip. It was a simple design, but gorgeous.

"Wow…" was all I managed to say.

"I take it you like it," Uncle Torn said, snapping me out of my stupor. Hell yeah, I liked it!

"It's incredible," I answered. I love you, Uncle Torn.

"It's a strong blade," he started, "don't let me down, Jakie." Oh, you don't have to worry about that happening. If I can handle a fleet of KG's, then I can definitely handle anything else you can throw at me.

"Don't worry. I don't intend to any time soon," I answered, giving him a crooked smile. I took my new sword by the hit and examined it again. Oh, this was definitely a favor to repay. Now, not only did Uncle Torn teach me the sword (or knife in his case), but also he just gave me one. Now I knew why he was always one of my favorites. Still grinning, I turned and started heading for the door.

"Jakie, where are you going?" Dawn asked suddenly. I looked over my shoulder.

"I'm gonna go try this thing out on a few metal heads," I answered. Dawn jumped from the desk to my shoulder.

"Not without my you're not! You wouldn't last a second without me!" she exclaimed. I hide my laughter, smiled back at uncle Torn, then walked out the door into the open. And to my luck, Dad and Daxter had just gotten back from their mission.

"Hey dad. Hey Daxter," I greeted cheerfully, "I finished you're morph gun."

"Awesome. Thanks, Jakie," dad responded. I smiled then ran off to commandeer some poor schnook's zoomer.
