Jak and Daxter:
Re-Creation
Chapter 1:
Daxter's Big Mouth
"Finally! I've been waiting for the new sign for ages! It's 200 orbs well spent!" Daxter said to himself as he admired his new sign for the Naughty Ottsel. After the accident during the Great War, it was left rather…broken…to say the least.
Daxter then turned to the delivery man, and started to yell at him. "I ordered this sign MONTHS ago! Why did it take so long?"
The delivery man was startled, partially because he was getting yelled at, but mostly because he was being yelled at by a rat. "Hmph" the delivery man retorted, "Well, it takes time to make and load up a sign of this size, just have some patience.
Daxter sighed and calmed down, and walked to the door. "Yeah, whatever, thanks." Daxter replied, still a little angry. After Errol was defeated, Daxter returned to the city and make the Naughty Ottsel into his personal pad as well as a bar. Soon after Daxter found out how hard it actually was to run a bar in the city, jobs and responsibilities kept piling up, and since Daxter isn't good at doing either, he was soon overwhelmed. He became stressed, and angry, lashing out randomly at people.
Just as he was going inside the bar, he heard a loud banging on the roof. Daxter ran out to the front to see what it was, and he was surprised, and angry, at what he saw. It was Jak, on his JetBoard, and he just jumped from the top of the building and is grinding on the new sign. Jak was just as surprised as Daxter was, however, Jak didn't know the new sign had come, and was expecting to grind on the old broken sign. Jak quickly hopped down, and put away his JetBoard.
The sign structure was making stressing noises, and Daxter was frozen in shock and fear. Eventually the stressing stopped, and Daxter made a sigh of relief, but just then a Wumpbee came and sat on the sign. The sign couldn't take anymore, it seemed, and it crashed down.
Daxter was in shock, and his eye was twitching. He turned to Jak and made the angriest face that would make even Samos proud. Daxter then grabbed Jak's shirt and started yelling at him. "You JERK! I just GOT that sign, it costed me 200 orbs!" Daxter growled and Jak was just surprised.
"Whoa there Dax, calm down, I'm sorry, I didn't know the new sign was here. Don't worry; I'll pay for a new one." Jak said. That didn't stop Daxter's rage, however, and it looked like he was going to turn into Dark Daxter. "Daxter, please, calm down buddy, you're just stressed right now." Daxter then started to breathe normally, and calmed down a little bit. He jumped off Jak's shirt, "Sorry Jak, I have been stressed lately, it's just the bar is so much work, and the relationship with Tess is a little rocky right now."
Both Jak and Daxter walked into the bar and Jak sat on a stool, while Daxter jumped over the counter and got out a couple of "Metal Head Zingers", the Naughty Ottsel's specialty drink. "About your relationship with Tess" Jak started, "It would be a lot better if you stopped hitting on every woman you see." Daxter growled in defeat, but it was true, even though he and Tess were technically together, Daxter still was the womanizer he always was. He called it his "animal instinct", though most knew better. "Yea well" Daxter retorted, "It's not like you and Ashelin did any better." After Jak defeated Errol, he and Ashelin started to go out. While it was a loving one in the beginning, it soon wore off and they broke up. They still talk to each other, but not as much as they used to. "Yeah." Jak answered quietly, staring intently into his drink. Daxter quickly changed the subject.
"Yeah, I do have a stress problem don't I? I just need to do something to get my mind off the bar; it's just been really boring around here after the war ended." Daxter was telling the truth, after Errol was destroyed, all the KG robots sort of powered down, and they were soon dismantled by the Freedom Guard. Afterwards, the Guard quickly focused on getting the Metal Heads out of the city. It was quite a battle, which Jak was part of, and the Metal Heads soon lost all power within Haven. They retreated back to the Metal Head Wastes North West of Haven. After that, the city was rebuilt, and now most of the city looks new, with canals going though the streets. The palace was rebuilt, but now it was less huge and was simply a manor building in the center of town.
Jak agreed, "Yeah, things have been quiet around here, we should go out and look for adventure, like we did when we were younger." But then Daxter quickly said, "Yeah, but last time we did that, I ended up short and furry." He motioned to his short stature. "But" Daxter slowly said, "If anything did come up, I would be the first one on it." Daxter was taking the last sip of his drink when a figure came through the door. Jak looked back, "Torn! What are you doing here?"
Torn quickly answered, "Something has come up, and we need you're expertise to do it." Daxter gulped and looked at Jak, who was staring at him, smirking. "Oh no…" Daxter shook his head, "When I said "come up", I meant in the near future, not right now!" Jak continued his gaze on Daxter as his grin widened. "Ohhhhh…you're not gonna let this go are you?" Daxter asked, and Jak shook his head slowly, Daxter growled, "Ohhhhh fine! I'm coming, I'm coming. Me and my big mouth." Daxter frowned as he hopped on Jak's shoulder, and just as they stepped out the door with Torn, Daxter said, "I spoil you Jak, you know that?" Jak just chuckled and walked out the door.
Well that was quite a chapter; hopefully I shed some back-story in this chapter. Poor Daxter, aw well, he DID say he would be the first one on it. Please R&R!
