Chap. 4
New Orders
"Princess! Where does he get the authority to call me that? And twice in one day!" Raye cursed under her breath, "I can't believe I actually liked this guy!"
-Flashback-
"Errol? How can you like him!" Raye exclaimed.
Jessi shrugged, "He's just so, ya know, commanding." She sighed.
"He tries to freakin' kill you! He tries to run you over with a zoomer!" Raye protested, "Now Torn, on the other hand..." She got this weird, dreamy look on her face.
Jessi put her hands up in a stop motion, "You're just defending him 'cause you think he's hot! Torn is a jerk. A traitor, too. He tells-"
"Hey! I don't wanna hear it! I'll get to the scene myself.(a/n: Raye and Jessi switched off playing the game. Raye didn't play the part where you find out Torn told Praxis about the Precursor stone.) Besides, at least Torn tries to help you. Errol tortures Jak for two years and would've killed him if Daxter hadn't shown up."
"So? Errol was trying to beat the metal heads, just like Jak!"
"Your point?"
-End Flashback-
Raye laughed a little at the memory. She and Jessi had argued for another hour before they let the subject drop. She took a deep breath and calmed herself down, then looked at the clothing. After searching for a few minutes, she found an outfit that fit her and she liked. A crimson tank top that showed a good portion of her collar and stomach, and a pair of leather pants that, like the shirt, were considerably low cut. She scoffed at the style, but changed into the outfit anyways. 'If Jessi could see me now...' She found a pair of boots that fit her and walked out. She giggled silently at the way Jak looked at her and glared at both of them, daring him and Daxter to say something. They smartly kept their mouths shut and walked out behind her.
As they got to the drain pipe, Raye glanced back to see Jak still looking at her. She giggled quietly and climbed into the pipe, and went through the door. "Alright, let's get this over with so we can get back to the city and I can seethe at Torn some more." Raye told them. Jak and Daxter rolled their eyes and followed her as she walked towards the beginning of the path to the valve. (I'm going to skip all of the walk there and go to the valve.)
"Have I mentioned that I hate metal heads?" Raye asked as she trudged behind Jak. He nodded.
"Five times."
"Just making sure." Daxter walked up to the valve wheel.
"Ah... the valve. Allow me." He said, grinning at Raye. She rolled her eyes as he futilely tried to turn the wheel. Jak sighed and hit the pipe, sucking Dax into the pipes. He and Raye ran to the edge as numerous clangs resounded from the pipes. "Jak help... Jak... please... help... please." Jak and Raye jumped down to the spot where Dax was stuck and Jak spun another valve to release his orange, furry friend. Daxter shot of the valve like a bullet.
Jak opened his mouth, but Daxter held a hand up to silence him. "Don't say it! Don't even chuckle! Next time, one of you turn the valve." Both elves seemed to be having trouble obeying this last command, as they both covered their mouths to muffle the snickering. Daxter jumped back up on Jak's shoulder and the threesome headed back to the city.

When they walked into the hideout, Torn was smiling evilly, "The Slum's water is back on! I'd love to see the heads roll when the Baron finds out!"
Jak scoffed, "Yeah, I'm sure he's losing a lot of sleep over this 'arm pit' of the city! We've done what you asked! Now when do we see the Shadow!"
"When I say so, IF I say so! But before I even think about it," He motioned them over, "I want you two to take care of an ammo dump we've I.D.'d in the fortress. Lot's of Krimzon Guards, constant patrols. WE know it's vulnerable, and the Underground needs you two to blow up all the ammo you find inside. Get ALL of it, and we'll deal a body blow to the Baron."
Daxter jumped up on the table, "You're sending us in, tough guy, so what's with all this 'we'll deal a body blow' stuff?"
Jak quieted him, "That's fine, I want the Baron to know it's ME who's hurting him."
Raye nodded in agreement, "Same here. As long as he knows who's doing it, I'm fine with that." She yawned.
Jak laughed, "Maybe we should get some rest first. Fighting a bunch of KGs half-asleep is not my idea of fun."
Torn nodded, "Fine. You can use the bunks." Raye picked the bunk farthest away from Torn. She was still sore about the "princess" thing. Jak sighed and took the bed across from her, falling asleep quickly.

DR: Okay, I finally thought of an outfit. I used one of the rejected outfits for Ashelin(having precursor orbs rocks!). I made them sleep because even if they don't in the game, they do have to sleep. And I didn't have any ideas. But I will tell you this: Raye's gonna have a restless sleep next chappie, but that is all I will tell you. RR people!
