Disclaimer: I do not own Jak or anything from the Jak and Daxter Series, except for some of the new characters that have yet to come.
ShalBrenfan: Don't worry, no offense taken. It actually was really sad that I didn't know in the first place, lol. Anyway, hope you enjoy the chapter.
Loco-Fire: Glad you like it, for a minute I thought I was the only one who thought that it was funny. And, yeah, I do need help with Jak's mom's name. I'm thinking something powerful and yet gentle. You know, like the ancient Greeks or Spartans. Got any ideas?
LunarSquirrel: Glad you liked the last two chapters, hope you like this too.
GoodMorningBeautiful2005: Glad you loved it.
EJ Amber: Thanks.
Darkening Light: Thank you very much. I hope this one is funny and action-packed.
Jaklover123: Thanks, I was kind of unsure whether or not Dark was in character. Glad that he was, because I didn't want to change his personality.
Chapter 4: Power
"Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!" Jak screamed. He jumped to the nearest tree, that was around ten feet in diameter, and punched it. It broke in two.
Jak jumped onto the next nearest tree and ripped the branches from it. He then jumped to the ground and kicked the trunk so it toppled over.
Jak, was of course pissed off. Everything happens to me! thought Jak. WHY the HELL does it always have to happen to ME! Jak cracked a boulder in two with a swift punch, but he didn't stop, he let his newfound healing powers take over and kept trying to destroy everything and anything nearby.
Whoa, said Dark One, come on man. Cool down. I know, let's sit in a circle, hold hands, and sing a song! Won't that help?
Be serious Dark One, said Light One. Jak, I know this hurts, and your right, shit happens to you all the time. But you gotta stay strong.
Screw you! Jak replied to his other self while continuing in his tirade of destruction.
Jak, do it for the other elves. Said Dark One.
Screw them too! said Jak. Let them save themselves for once!
Do it for Samos, Daxter, Tess, Torn, Sig, Ashlein said Light One trying to find something to calm Jak down. It didn't work.
Jak stomped into the ground and left a hole crater that would have engulfed him had he not jumped onto a tree and pulverized it.
Do it for Keira and your mother! yelled Dark One.
Jak paused at the names of those two.
Damn, and for a second I thought you would have killed this forest before you stopped. Dude, and you think I got issues.
Dark One, do stop before he freaks out again.
I-I'm okay, put in Jak breathing heavy and looking around at the destruction he caused, sorry. I, I guess, I overreacted .
Hell yeah you did!
You know, if your not going to help, then shut the hell up Dark One.
Someone's got their panties in a twist, thought Dark One, who was obviously trying to whisper it.
We live in Jak's MIND! I HEARD that you retard! You can't WHISPER when you a freaking entity living in someone's brain!
Can you both just SHUT UP! thought Jak.
The two entities quieted at that.
Okay, we need to think. Once again the fate of the world is in my hands. And not only that, now I got to save all the OTHER dimensions! Great, just plain great!
Great? But, did you not say that you didn't want this to happen to you. Now you like it?
It's called SARCASM, dumbass. Jeez, you are really retarded!
Someone's coming.
Jak looked up to see Keira walking up the bridge and staring around in wonder.
"Wha-what happened here," asked Keira in awe.
"I, I lost my temper," replied Jak, deciding that the truth would be better.
"Oh," said Keira, who then started to appear nervous and unsure. She had her hands behind her back and her legs crossed.
God, she's beautiful.
Whoa, doggie, stay in your pants! Ha, ha.
Shhh, let them talk alone.
Yeah, you guys, uhh, go to those other dimensions.
Come on, Dark One, let's go.
Wait I wanna watch this.
Lets go! And with that, Jak felt their presence disappear.
"Jak, I-I don't know how to say this," said Keira, Jak tuned back in realizing he just missed what she was talking about. "But, well, but…."
"Just spit it out," said Jak.
"I love you."
Jak was dumbstruck, how was he going to react to this. Did he love Keira? He certainly felt something for her. Was it love?
Yet before Jak could reply, a metal head jumped out at Keira.
No! thought Jak, jumping in front of her and being pushed back. Keira screamed. Jak ripped the metal head off himself and crushed it in his hands.
"Stay down!" yelled Jak to Keira who took his advice and ran and crouched by the base of a tree.
Jak pulled out his gun and shot two metal heads trying to sneak behind him. Jak set it to Scatter Gun mode and looked around. The sight of thousands of metal heads pouring out holes that seemed to just have been drilled outward.
Jak pulled out his communicator, and called Torn.
"Torn!" Jak yelled.
Torn's face appeared on the screen.
"Torn, send reinforcements to Haven Forest! Now!" yelled Jak all the while shooting down metal heads.
"What going on, Jak!"
"Just get your ass down here," Jak screamed over the sound of gunshots. The communicator was shot out of the air by a crab-like metal head. It exploded next to Jak's ear sending him to the ground.
Guys where are you! I need help, get the hell over here! Jak only hoped his other forms made it back in time.
A dog-like metal head jumped onto Jak. Who picked it up, jumped up, and threw it at the nearest group of metal heads. He picked up his fallen gun and ran over to Keira where he knelt and gave her cover fire.
"It's all right, Keira. Don't be scared," said Jak while killing more metal heads. Keira wasn't scared, she was downright terrified. She was also shivering with fear.
Jak continued to shoot the endless waves of metal heads, praying that they would eventually stop. He shot another metal head and absorbed the shot of a dark eco gun attached to a crab-like metal heads.
None of the metal heads' eco shots affected Jak, in fact when he absorb them it was like adrenalin. It helped him fight harder.
Jak threw a couple of grenades that the computerized Vin had created. They were as small as golf balls but, when ignited by squeezing and releasing twice, packed a ten feet radius blast. Jak was glad to see that they left huge gaps in the metal head ranks. Unfortunately the gaps were filled the next second later.
Click. Click. Click.
Damn.
Jak had used up all the ammo for every one of his gun modes. He dropped the gun and pulled out two twelve inch battle daggers that Vin also gave to him. The daggers were made of an extremely durable and resilient alloy that allowed it to cut through steel like butter. Or metal head necks.
Jak ducked under the claw of a metal head and gutted it from beneath. He then spun kicked a dog-like metal head and slammed the dagger into the head of a crab-like one.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!"
No! Jak looked around to see a large leaper standing over Keira with claws poised.
Jak threw the dagger into its throat. He then ran to Keira and picked her up. The metal heads rushed after him.
Jak used his unnatural strength to jumped onto a tree and leapt onto another. He kept this up, leaping from tree to tree, while trying to find a place to hide Keira. He jumped to the entrance and put Keira onto the platform to take her back to the transporter.
"Go," he yelled turning around and throwing a pair of grenades.
Keira obeyed and watched Jak fight while the platform took her back to the transporter.
Jak had one less thing to worry about. And thousands more to take its place.
Jak couldn't keep this up. He would fail eventually. But he couldn't stop, he just couldn't.
Jak fought and killed, then jumped onto a couple of trees and took the fight elsewhere, never staying in one spot too long. He kept up these tactics until something happened.
We're baaaaccckkkk!"
About damn time too, Jak reprimanded his other forms.
No talk for chit chat, hurry Jak, transform into one of us.
Jak didn't need to be told twice. He let Dark One take his place. Which Dark One gladly did.
Dark One took the fight straight into the metal head ranks and laughed as the metal heads unknowingly killed each other while trying to get to him.
"Welcome to my house of pain," Dark One said out loud now that he was in control of his host's body. "You're the garbage and I'm going to take you out!"
Could that be any more pathetic?
Yeah dude, said Jak just now getting used to being in the back of his own mind. He was ashamed to say that there was a lot of room in his brain. That was really weak.
Ah shut up, Dark One said in his telepathically form of communication. I happen to like that saying.
Well sorry to break it to you, but that was just sad.
Dark One grunted and continued his slaughter of the metal heads. One of the scorpion-like metal head jumped onto Dark One's shoulder and stung him in the neck.
Dark One roared as he pulled it out and squashed it. He couldn't keep this up. He would fall in time.
Gunshots were heard in the distance.
Reinforcements, about damn time!
Dark One turned to see Torn shouting orders to a battalion of more than a hundred troops. Help at last.
He then jumped onto a tree and executed a brilliant and explosive Dark Bomb.
Troops ran to his side and knelt to give cover fire.
"We're with you sir," said one troop, saluting Dark One thinking him to be Jak.
"Kill as many as you can, soldier," said Dark One in his loud ethereal voice which completely freaked out the soldier (and all the other ones near enough to hear). The soldier than joined his fellow comrades and laid down submission fire.
This continued for about half an hour and the metal head ranks just barely started to wane. Jak and his two other forms were sick of this.
So many soldiers had already lost their lives. Out of the hundred that came, only seventy remained. In war, that may not have seemed like a big lost, but to Jak, it was catastrophe. Thirty brave young men wouldn't go home today.
He couldn't take it anymore. The death had to stop.
Use us. Jak's two forms said at the same time, which created an eerie effect. Evil and good working together.
What? Jak finally said wondering what his other forms meant.
Use us at the same time. They did it again, talking at the same time.
Wha-what? How?
Think, do you want it to stop?
Jak thought about it, of course he wanted it to stop.
Then stop it. Unleashed yourself. Be free. You can't just will it to happen, you must want it. Now want it Jak, want it to end.
Jak wanted it to end, he truly did. He desperately wanted it to end.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Jak felt more pain than ever before. He once again felt the fire in his blood, accompanied with the ice. His veins boiled, then froze. Jak grew bigger, his light form mixing with his dark.
The battle paused, elf and metal head alike were staring at Jak transform. Then the metal heads attacked, trying to kill Jak before he could transform.
"Protect him! Cover him with all the ammo we have left," yelled Torn, realizing what Jak transformation meant. "Trust me, it'll be worth it."
The metal head dropped before they reached Jak. Eco bullets everywhere and Jak in the middle finishing his painful transformation.
It was complete. Jak's cries stopped. He stood straight, eight feet in height and looked around. His pitch black eyes taking in the scene. Jak had his whitish hair and black eyes with his dark forms body, but he shone with the deep blue aurora of his light form.
Jak's claws spread as he readied for battle, he no longer needed the cover fire provided him.
Jak let out a terrifying roar that froze the blood of both elf and metal head. Jak jumped into the air, blocking out the sun.
He landed into the midst of the metal head ranks and fought.
He did it. Jak had transformed into true power. Jak was power.
Guys, I'm sorry for the long delay and hope that this chapter made up for it. Also sorry for the cliff hanger, but how else will I get you guys to want to continue to read, lol.
Once again, I'm asking for ideas and now the names of the metal heads. It would make it much easier to know their proper names. If not, then I'll have to make them up. Well, see you guys next time!
