Chapter 10: Party and Good-byes
"Welcome to the Naughty Ottsel! The hippest, happenest, happiest joint in town! Daxter grinned happily at everyone in the former Hip Hog Heaven bar, "Check out the new decor! He said pointing to Metal Head Kor's head. Jak and Serena just rolled their eyes.
"Oooh... What a big trophy!" Tess looked up at the large Metal Head that was hung over the bar, it was the head trophy of Kor.
"As if size matters! I bagged that bad boy myself, baby! The Ottsel bragged.
"Onin says she doesn't know who has a bigger head. Him or YOU!" The annoying monket laughed as he sat upon Onin's head.
"We must not forget Vin and all the others who sacrificed their lives to defeat this evil and protect the child," Samos spoke up. Jak sat at the bar next to Keira, he opened up his hand that held the Amulet of Mar.
"I still can't believe... that little boy was me. Better times, huh?" He looked down at his hand depressingly.
Keira walled up to Jak and said "You miss him, huh?" Keira smiled, "You know, the kid grows up to be a handsome hero!" Jak smiled back.
Krista gabbed Renee in the ribs, who gabbed Anita. All three girls watched as Jak and Keira leaned in closely for their very first kiss, but was interrupted by the furry, orange rodent...again... He was glaring at the old soothsayer who was currently drinking out of a blue vile."Hey! That's enough for you, lady. I'm cuttin' ya off!" Daxter began to march over to the old elf but was zapped to the other side of the counter as the soothsayer waved her hands angrily at him.
"Trust me, she gets real mean when she's like this!" Pecker squawked.
"What'd she say?" The Ottsel asked.
"Something about rubber tubing and certain parts of your mother..." the Monkaw translated, "Trust me, you don't wanna know..."
Suddenly, the doors to the entrance burst open and a large figure strode in.
"Agghhh! A Metal Head!" The rodent jumped behind the counter, but Jak recognized the figure.
"Sig!" He cried out joyfully.
"Sig!" Daxter popped his head out from behind Pecker, "I knew that."
"Right". Anita and Krista both said mockingly
"I did". He said as Tess picked him up.
Outside
"You saved the city and more, my boy!" Samos congratulated the dark elf as they stood outside of the Naughty Ottsel, "Metal Kor and his menace are history, and somewhere out there, an ancient race has begun again."
"I'm just glad to be back home," Jak sighed.
Home The girlsI thought to themselves as they walked away from the group.
"Yeah? Well, rest up. We've got a lot to do and so much time to do it in!" The Green Sage exclaimed.
"Don't say 'time!' The Rift Ring was destroyed, remember?" Jak groaned.
"You know, my momma used to read me bedtime stories about Mar when she'd tuck me in," Sig sighed, "she'd give me a nice glass of warm yakow milk... and my little Poopsy bear."
"Bedtime stories? Warm milk? Poopsy bear!" Both Daxter and I stared up at the Wastelander in disbelief.
"Buddy, ya just blew ya image!" I said
"I've got a feeling we'll meet Mar someday. He may be closer than you think," Samos said mysteriously.
"You're the designated driver!" Sig grinned as he handed the Ruby Key to the city to Jak.
"Oh no. I am done with adventures. Besides, you'll tell us before something happens next time, right Samos?" The green/blonde haired elf looked to the Sage who had an innocent look upon his aged face, "Right, Samos?"
The girls watched the group of their new friends have fun. "So when are we going home?" Renee asked Anita
"Why are you asking me that?" Anita asked her.
"Because, your the genius here." Krista answered
"Yeah." Renee agreed, "Besides, we're just a couple of doppie idiots."
"Yeah!" Krista exclaimed, not even relizing what she agreed to. "Wait a second, who's the idiots?"
This cause Renee and Anita to burst out laughing. "I do have a way home for us." Anita began, "However..."
"However?" both girls asked
"However, only two people will be able to return and the third will be stuck here forever." Anita replied
"So, who's staying?" Renee asked
"I am." Anita stated
"What!" both girls gasped
"But why?" Krista asked
"Yeah, why you?" Renee questioned
"Because, you Renee are going on to become a nurse and will be getting married soon." Anita spoke sincerely. This caused Renee to look down at her shoes. "As for you Krista. You're only seventeen and have yet to finish up high school. I want you to go on with your life and not regret anything." This caused Krista to begin to cry.
"But I'm the freak here!" Krista yelled at her sister."I'm the one with a cat tail and cat ears!"
"She's got a point!" Renee stated. "She should be the one to stay here and live out her dreams here."
"Besides, I've always liked Jak's world better than ours." Krista stated with a smile.
"Are you sure?" Anita inquired
"Yes, I'm possitive." Krista replied with a smile. "Besides, I sortta want to help Jak out." Hey, you never know, I just may appear in Jak 3 or that new Jak X Combat Racing game."
This caused Anita to laugh, "Yeah that would be something." Anita's smile vanished, "Okay little sis. Take care of yourself."
"Stay out of trouble." Renee said smilingly
"Oh and leave Torn alone." Anita said sternly, "I don't wanna find out that he killed you because you were being annoying."
"Okay." Krista agreed.
Anita pulled out a small divice made out of metal and blue eco. Krista watched as her sister and friend were engulfed in a blue orb and vanish into thin air.
Suddenly a voice sounded behind her. "Krista?"
Krista turned around to see Keria standing there. "Yeah?" she answered
"Where did they just vanish to?" Keira asked as she noticed Krista's tears.
"Home." she replied
"You wanna come and stay with me at the garage?" Keira asked
"Are you sure I won't be in the way?" she asked
"No, of course not." Keira replied as the two of them walked over to her zoomer.
"Sure." Krista replied as they got into it and drove off, away from the port. After all, it's my turn to have a life and my own adventure. Krista thought. Of course, life in itself, is an adventure.
