Chapter 5: Hostage Case
Jak pulled into the drive way.
Joeanne walked outside.
"Where's Daxter?" She asked.
"Prixis's men are holding him hostage in the stadium."
"So why did you come back?" She asked.
"I have 24 hours to save him and I'm going to the back yard for target practice. It'll improve my gun skills." Jak answered.
Jak ran to the back yard and set up Larry's trap shooter machine.
He clicked the pedel to fire a clay dish. It shattered with the first shot.
He clicked it 3 times to launch 3 targets. It took 2 blasts and they were gone.
Jak spent a half hour launching more targets and blasting them missing only a few.
He walked back to the front yard where Joeanne was waiting.
"I'm ready to go." He said.
"Jak, be careful. I'll be
praying for you."
"Thank you Joeanne."
He took off back to the stadium.
He ran up a flight of steps to a room where a group of guards were waiting.
They smacked him with their electric spears. He chuckled and turned them into a large pile of gore.
"How do you like that, bitches?"
Jak ran to the next floor. There was a group of Metal Heads.
"Oh shit! How'd you guys get in?"
They growled and knocked his blaster out of his hands and across the room.
"Okay I guess I have to smack you up myself." Jak said.
He unleashed a great amount of punches and kicks on the group.
They dropped and Jak gathered their skull gems.
He picked his gun back up and ran to the next floor.
Daxter was sitting in a chair, handcuffed behind the back.
He was surrounded by guards that were injecting light eco into him.
"Hey! You guys let him go." Jak said.
The guards laughed and grabbed Jak and Daxter and through them over the edge of the stadium.
Luckily they landed safely in the car.
"Daxter! Are you okay?" Jak asked.
"Yes Jak. I'm better than ever." Daxter answered.
Daxter was emitting a light glow due to the eco.
Daxter saw Praxis escaping and driving down the road.
"Jak! Look! Praxis is getting away!"
Jak let out a growl and transformed into Dark Jak.
He jumped and did his Dark Bomb attack.
Praxis's car was stopped by the blast.
He got out and ran toward's Jak.
"Finally I get to destroy you Dark Jak!" He shouted bitterly.
Dark Jak gritted his teeth and sliced Praxis's ribs open.
He stumbled back and held his chest. He fell onto his back.
He fell to his knees.
Jak turned back to his normal state.
He looked down at his lifeless body.
"I told you that I was gonna kill you. Bastard." Jak said.
Daxter, who was still in the car, rose from his seat.
Jak turned around and saw this happening.
"Daxter? What's happening?"
"I dont know Jak."
Jak turned around to look at Praxis's corpse once more.
When he turned back around, Daxter was setting back in his seat. But in his previous human form.
This startled Jak. "Daxter, you're..."
"I know Jak. It must have been the eco." Daxter finished.
"Uh..." Jak was still shocked.
"Let's go Jak." Daxter said.
Jak nodded and got in the car.
They drove back to the house where the tree was waiting.
"It look's like you didn't save Daxter." Larry said.
"Oh yeah he did!" Daxter said.
"Little talkin' critter?"
"It's a long story." Jak said.
"Well ya'll can tell us at dinner after you plant this tree." Larry said.
"Okay. Sounds good." Jak said.
They planted the tree and walked inside.
At The Dinner Table
Jak explained everything from who Samos was and his warnings about Misty Island to their defeat of Gol and Maia. He also explained his Dark Eco treatments and powers.
After dinner, Jak and Daxter went straight to bed.
The Next Morning
Jak, Daxter, Larry and Joeanne were all gathered by Jak's car.
"Well thanks for everything. We appriciate it." Jak said.
"Your quite welcome honey." Joeanne said.
"Jak. I'd like to thank you for saving my life yesterday." Larry said.
"No problem Larry."
"We better be going now." Jak said.
He got in the car with Daxter.
"Come for a visit any time guys!" Joeanne said.
"We will. Bye!" Jak said.
They took off down the road and beond the horizon.
