DISCLAIMER! I own absolutely nothing concerning Jak and Daxter or naughty dog . NOTHING!(hehe!)
Jak flinched only so slightly as he pushed the needle into his arm. He could feel the cool liquid moving swiftly through his veins. In a few seconds the dark eco he had injected registered on the pleasure sensors of his nervous system. A feeling of coolness and tranquility rushed all over his body. It was a wonderful soaring feeling, but very soon he was feeling sick and dizzy. His body felt weak. Jak could feel his dark side strengthening as the darkeco continued spreading through out his body. His body suddenly gave way and he collapsed onto the floor of his room. Everything stared to spin round and round. Weird shapes and distortions appeared. Jak managed to turn himself onto his back before he passed out. Soon all he was a where of was a sensation of spinning darkness and then,
Nothing.
For a while now, Jak had been occasionally injecting dark eco into his body. After he beat kor, he hadn't been able to do much fighting. And dark Jak needed dark eco and Jak needed dark jak. Jak had always loved the power he felt coursing through his body as he unleashed dark jak. But after words, when most of the dark eco had left his system, he would feel sick and weak. That was why he always tried to absorb eco when he fought with the metal heads. Even though it hurt like hell to absorb eco, it still felt great to use it.
But jak also knew it how bad it was. Unlike people who smoke, who have the option to quit, jak had no such way of reliving his desires. Not only desires, jak had found out secretly from kor when he still was in the form of an old man that now that jak had a dark side, he had to feed it with dark eco. It was a lose lose situation. Jak couldn't live with the eco but he couldn't live with out it. And there was noting he could do. Soon after jak had been experimented on, he discovered that he could no longer channel eco. In fact, he couldn't even absorb any other eco but the dark stuff. If he tried, it would bur n like acid and often he felt like he would throw up. It made him sort of sad when he first realized he could no longer have the feeling of all the different types of eco surging through him but then again, the feeling of being high off dark eco was all he needed.
Jak woke up sometime later stretched out on his bed. Someone must have been able to get through his locked door and move him. It was almost funny. Jak had been occasionally injecting himself for weeks now. He always said he just wanted some private time and then Daxter had started the rumor that jak was masturbating. Jak had managed to shut daxter up though by accidentally walking in on daxter and tess having some 'fun'. Every since then daxter didn't mention any 'naughty' stuff. Actually everything had been working out fine until last week when keria had walked in on jak with his shirt off and a needle in his arm. She claimed to want to just be with him but jak knew she had been snopping around trying to see what he did during his 'private time'.
It was quite a scene;
" oh my god!jak! what the hell are you doing!"
she squealed in her very annoying voice
jak just stared back at her a look of utter disgust as he pulled the needle out of his arm and fell to the floor.
Keria immediately called down to torn sig who had been talking downstairs in the naughty ottsel.
Both came running up and were just in time see jak pass out on the floor.
-
Jak crossed his arms across his chest, remembering the past week and he was wondering who had found him this time.
None of them understood what he was going through, though.
The pain……..oh mar…
Just then the door started to open.
Jak uncrossed his arms and pretended to still be unconscious.
Samos keria, and Daxter came in to the room.
"how long's he been like this, samos?"
said daxter in a rather shaky voice
" I don't know. But from the look of him he's been doing this a lot"
said samos, rather gravely
"Daddy!"
keria broke down crying(like the useless girl she is) on her fathers shoulder.
"I'd think we'd best leave him here to rest. When he wakes up we will have to confront him on this" samos turned and walked out the door with keria hanging on him.
Daxter stayed and jumped up onto jaks bed.
Jak felt his little feet is Daxter walked over to near his chest.
"Jak? Jak? Are you a wake?"
Daxter said quietly
Jak opened one eye then closed it, trying to conceal a smile (and not doing a good job at it)
"oh my god Jak. Don't do that!"
Daxter yelled
Jak opened both his eyes and smiled
"whats up dax?"
Daxter frowned
"you! Keria and I come in here because you didn't come back down stairs when you said you wanted private time. You were up here for nearly 2 days!
Then we come in and you passed out on the floor with dark eco on you! "
Daxter sounded like he was really pissed off but then his voiced softened to one of concern
"I thought the time keria found you injecting that stuff that it was only a one time thing like you said. What's wrong with you, Jak? Don't you know your injecting poison in to you?"
Jak turned his head away from Daxter and said quietly,
"Yeah I know its poison. and so did the baron."
Daxter tried again
"So why are you finishing what praxis started! "
"Dax, you …. No one would understand even if I told them"
"Well why don't you try? Leave it up to other people whether they understand or not"
"Daxter, it's not that simple. I –"
Daxter cut Jak off when he threw himself on jaks chest and started sobbing
"Jak! YOU DON'T GET IT! YOU Don't TELL US 'CASUE YOU THINK YOU'LL HURT US! BUT YOUR HURTING US NOW! LET US HELP YOU!
Please….."
Jak stroked Daxter's back as the ottsel sobbed onto his chest
"It's okay dax. Don't worry about me. I know what I'm doing"
Daxter looked up tearfully at Jak.
"that's just it Jak. I … I was there when kor told you about…about… about your… condition. I know why you do … what you do. No one else knows but maybe if they did…. We could find some way to help you. "
Jak paused for a moment.
He hadn't known that Daxter knew why he did the self injections
Maybe,
Just maybe,
He had found some one to listen to him.
If any one would understand him,
It would be his best friend
After a while Daxter fell asleep on jaks broad bare chest
Jak absent mindedly continued stroking him while he thought about what was going to happen to him
He would most likely die
Some time soon, every one was going to confront him
Stupid keria and samos would probably tell ashlein and most of the underground
He would be able to go any where with out getting weirder looks than he already got now
The way he saw it, he had a few options
Suicide seemed nice, but then he thought about how difficult it would be to kill himself now that every one would be always watching out for him
He could always just try to completely blow up haven but that would make such a mess
His last choice was to leave
Run away.
So far it seemed like the best idea
Then if he did die, people wouldn't be around and he could go in peace
He didn't care where he would go
It wouldn't matter
The only problem would be keeping annoying people from following him
Especially keria
Over time, he'd grown to really hate her and her nosey ways.
Why couldn't she ever leave him alone?
Jak tried not to think too much about things that bothered him because it his evil side started to stir
And as much as he didn't like keria, he still didn't want to kill her
He didn't want to kill any body
And he didn't want any body bothered by his existence
Yes.
The best way to go was just to leave.
Jak slowly sat up and moved Daxter's sleeping form onto the bed.
Jak sighed, thinking about what he had decided to try to do
He bent down and picked his shirt up off the floor and pulled it over his head as he walked towards one of the windows in his room
He looked out
It was almost dusk
While he was still looking out the window, his door opened and ashlein walked in
"Jak, we need to talk. Come downstairs. Now"
Jak looked ay her, an emotionless expression on his face then he looked down at one of his hands
There was a cut on his palm that showed signs of dark eco
He followed ashlein out of his room with out looking up
Not every one was down in the naughty ottsel. Torn was standing next to sig and samos and keria were there too but that was it
Ashlein motioned for Jak to sit down at the bar but he shook his head and stayed standing.
Ashlein stood next to him
There was an awkward moment of silence that was broken when sig finally said,
"Why'd you do it, Jak?"
Jak thought of a million things to say
Maybe he could say he did it for comfort
Every one did things like that
Keria would fix things or have sex with Errol
Torn would yell or have sex with ashlein
Ashlein would have sex with any body including the guards
Sig would shoot things
Samos would turn things into ferns
Jak could also just tell every one to shut up
But that wouldn't make much of a point
And he certainly couldn't tell them the truth
That he needed the dark eco to stay alive and that he liked the sensation of power it gave him
No
He decided to just stay silent
"What's wrong with you? Don't you know enough not to use drug like things?"
Said Samos
"Didn't I teach you about those when you were growing up?"
Why did everyone have to talk like this? Jak thought
He was immediately reminded that this was how doctors talked to pregnant teenagers; in that all-knowing, wise, semi-caring, yet still accusing voice
Jak still didn't say anything
Ashlein spoke up
"We've hired people to try and help. We think you may have an addiction"
Jak couldn't help
He laughed at this last thing ashlein said
It was funny how blind these people were
He wasn't addicted
Not really
He just liked staying alive
And if staying alive meant he would die, so be it
But his laugh hadn't gone unnoticed
Torn walked over, put his hands on both of jaks shoulders and slammed his back into the wall
"DAMN IT Jak! We're trying to help you! Let us!"
Jak only stared back and willed his dark side to calm down
If he changed into dark Jak now, not only might he kill everyone in the room, he might also kill himself.
That last injection Jak had done had just been to keep from getting weak
His dark side wasn't in fighting condition
He hadn't had enough eco
So when he finally changed back, he would keep the injuries he had gotten in the form of his Dark side (this just means that usually when Jak transforms and fights the wounds go away when he changes back)
Jak realized torn still had him by his shoulders
He looked at torn, with a look that just screamed back off
Then he shoved torn away so hard that torn almost fell over
"I'm fine"
Jak said, noticing the sharper edge in his voice that he always got when his dark side wanted to break through
Everyone else noticed it too
"I'm going outside"
Jak said walking towards the back door
Just then torn spoke up again
"Can't stand the truth, huh Jak. Can't stand the fact that you're being controlled by a substance. Pathetic."
Jak turned around, his eyes turning black
"That's IT!"
He yelled, changing into dark Jak
He charged into the center of the room yelling,
"YOU JUST DON'T GET IT! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I FEEL!"
He started wreaking the room
Every one tried to dodge the flying objects
The whole building started to shake
While every one was lost in confusion, dark Jak took the chance to get outside
Immediately saw he guards
Guards
A sign of praxis
Dark Jak started to unleash his fury as complete madness took over
Blood flowed every where and dark Jak laughed madly
It started to rain and lighting rumbled around
Dark Jak had made his way to the red zone of haven a
A stream of guards were following, shooting at him
Dark Jak stopped and turned around, his face locked in a malicious mask of fury,
Dripping with blood and rain water
Lightning cracked behind him as dark jaks visous claws wrecked though some hapless guards flesh
Dark Jak laughed as he plunged his claws into a guards back, and hearing him scream, dug his claws into the back of the krimzon guards head
He could hear the guard scream, he could feel the nerves that had one been locked in pain slowly lossen as life drained out of the body he held.
And he laughed
He dropped the body and lashed out mindlessly all around him
Suddenly he felt his hands come in contact with some thing soft
And fury
And orange
Thank fully Jak had run completely out of eco so Daxter didn't get completely cut in half
But there were still four long gashes on the side of the his body
Four gashes that his best friend had given him
Daxter stood , swaying slightly, his fur getting slicked down by rain water and blood
He looked to Jak who had one knee on the ground, panting, eyes wide, his hair soaking
Night could not conceal the pain on each others face
Daxter's head was cocked to one side
"Jak… Let me….help "he started to fall "you………."
Daxter collapsed to the ground
Jak howled out in misery and pain,
The one person who had ever under stood him
Lay dying in his arms
Jak hugged the small form to him, crying into daxters soft fur
The he heard sounds
Sounds of people coming towards him
Jak couldn't bear to be around here when they arrived
He gently stroked the side of daxters head and then laid him down on a fairly clean square of pavement
The rain was washing some of the blood away as lightning flashed and thunder boomed
Jak shouldered his gun and took one last look behind him
Those people were definitely getting closer now
He looked down at Daxters small form, not bother to wipe away tears mixing with rain and blood
And ran.
Ran.
He ran on and on not even knowing where he was going.
When he finally stopped he found himself near a Beor mountain temple
Jak took one look around him before his body gave out
He collapsed to the ground, struggling for breath
There wasn't enough eco to satisfy his dark side
Now dark Jak would start to use Jaks own life energy
He knew that if he passed out now he would most likely not wake up but he had no choice in the matter
His body won control and Jak felt himself slipping into unconsciousness
