Chapter FiveThe Beginning
With the afternoon sun raining down on Jak's face, he made his way down the streets of Haven City, towards Freedom HQ. His armour gleaming, Jak's blue eyes darted from the sea of faces flowing past him. Most held grim expressions, and why shouldn't they? A hoard of unimaginable creatures advancing toward the city. Their weaknesses unknown and strength's a mystery. They knew nothing of the dark creatures that swarmed the sea and surrounding islands of Haven. With a quick pace he arrived at Freedom HQ in a mere fifteen minutes. Inside were Ashelin, Torn, Samos and a few people that Jak had never met before. They wore blue armour, similar to the Freedom League Guards, but a slimmer style in comparison to the usual bulky choice of armour. One of the men had thick brown hair, a few locks falling over his deep green eyes, a dirty green. The other had light blue hair with highlights of dark blue and streaks of white. The colours of his hair shocked Jak at first, he had never seen someone, but himself, with such crazy coloured hair. The second man wore the same armour as the first.
As Jak entered, all eyes shot to him, as if his presence had awakened them. Jak joined those present around the circular table presenting numerous types of information on multiple screens. Ashelin sighed, almost in relief, as if she thought that Jak wouldn't come.
"So, what's the deal then? Are we gonna fight them or what?" Jak asked, almost impatiently. Ashelin smiled, "Ready to go, hey Jak?" she asked him, a hint of cheek in her voice. Jak frowned, "O.k., onto business." He said to her, getting a little annoyed that she was playing around with him after just taking him away from his peaceful life with Keira. Torn cleared his throat then spoke up, "Well, we've located the main mass of creatures, but they move so fast that it's hard to keep track of them. We need to attack them fast." Jak nodded, showing his understanding, "So I'm guessing I'm the man to attack them in any means possible? Put on the front line with high chance of death or serious injury?" Torn looked away, almost ashamed of giving him the affirmative. But that wasn't Torn's style, he didn't care about Jak. Ashelin answered for torn, "Yes, but we'll try and protect you the best we can. Luckily Erol's robot factory wasn't trashed or else we wouldn't have been able to make these new mods for your morph gun." Jak nodded but didn't speak, he was in a bad mood and wasn't about to be bought off to be a happy little trooper. Ashelin's smile faded and she disappeared out a door. Torn sighed, "Jak, you don't have to be happy about this but we're doing the best we can to equip you." Torn explained coolly. Jak shook his head, "I'm pissed off Torn. I thought I'd be left alone after the whole thing with Mizo. I thought I could live a proper and normal life. That's all I want!" he yelled the last part getting very angry, his dark eco bubbling. One of the men in the blue armour spoke up, the dark haired man, "O.k. Jak, listen up! We have an army of deadly creatures wanting to arrive here in Haven! Do you honestly think you could have a normal life if those bad boys came! Get into shape Jak!" Jak turned to the man with cold black eyes, his voice deepened by the Dark one begging to rip the man to shreds. Jak grabbed the man by the throat, "Don't you EVER boss me around AGAIN! GOT IT!" sparks of eco flew from his body. He heard footsteps approach him from behind then a sharp pain in his shoulder before his vision darkened, the ground tilting steadily until he felt and saw no more.
Slowly Jak's eyes opened. Soon he realised, when his vision had ceased to swim before him and mind had ground into action, that he was lay on a soft bed, the sheets pushed to the end of the bed so they did not cover his half naked body. They had had to stabilize him again. He groaned and put his hand to his head, closing his eyes in an attempt to dull his splitting headache. Jak heard footsteps approaching him again and he turned his head to the side, "Who-" slender fingers lay on his lips, silencing him before sweet lips brushed his own, melting them into a kiss. Gently the figure slipped onto his chest, hands running down his front feeling his warm pleasant skin. Jak kissed the swan like neck that had been presented to him, hearing a soft groan from above. Jak began to suck on the sensitive neck skin, nipping at it softly every so often. More groans were heard, as soft as the afternoon breeze. Gently Jak rolled over, bringing himself on top of his lover, "Keira, I didn't expect to see you here." He whispered to her sensitively. Keira's perfect lips curled into a smile, "I can't live without you baby, you know that." Jak smiled back, his goatee moving with his lips, "and I can't live without you either." Their lips joined in a passion and love filled kiss.
The cold breeze of the night bit at their sweat layered naked bodies. Jak grumbled and opened his eyes. He held her loosely as she slept, her head resting on his chest. No one would need to explain what they had done in the previous hours; all Jak could think about was that how beautiful it was and how much it had soothed him. Gently then figure lay on top of him stirred, emerald eyes opening and shining in the night, "Hey Jak." She said sleepily. Her sweet voice made Jak smile, "Hey gorgeous." Jak's lips kissed her warm hair lightly, the blue/green hair damp with both of their sweat. Keira shifted, changing the angle of penetration of his length, making Jak groan softly. Eyes alight with wonder and amazement, Keira trailed her finger down Jak's tanned chest, feeling his muscles ripple and relax beneath her touch. Jak groaned, he loved her warm skin travelling over his body, making him warm, "Keira, I love you so much, you know that right?" he asked her quietly, his rough hands rubbing up her back, his finger tips sliding into the curves of her back. Keira smiled, "Yeah, and you know I love you so much too." She was a little sore from the night's activities but her joy and bliss had taken her and she felt so good about herself. "I really really wanna be with you, like, forever." He took a deep breath, settling his nerves. Keira was getting a little excited too but decided to try and calm him down a little, "And I wanna stay with you forever too." This relaxed Jak a lot, she could feel it everywhere. "Can you promise you'll stay with me? And never let me go?" he asked her, his cheeks flaring. Keira smiled warmly at him, "I was going to ask you the same thing." Her lips pressed lightly against his, Jak's lips opening for her willingly. They kissed slowly, their tongues playing with one another happily.
Sunlight streamed through the cracks in the steady walls of the Underground's base, the almost harsh golden rays stinging Jak's eyes as he awoke. Keira was curled up in his arms, sleeping soundly. As he looked over at the table he saw a group standing around, talking quietly to each other. In this group there was Torn, those three men from yesterday and a few other soldiers of the Underground. Jak groaned, they were probably talking about their great plan to take down the creatures. Keira stirred and looked up at Jak with bright eyes, "Hey Jak." She said tiredly. Jak brought his gaze back to Keira, "Good morning babe." Keira blushed as he called her that. A hoarse voice broke through their bliss, "Jak, if you're feeling up to it and you're not in the mood to do those bad boys's job for them, get your ass down here and listen. We have a plan."
Groaning Jak sat up, Keira immediately pulling the sheets around herself out of embarrassment. Jak scruffed up his hair sleepily then scratched his chest lazily. From beside him, Keira sighed heavily, He always looked so sexy when he wakes up. She thought to herself dreamily. Glancing over at Keira Jak smiled down at her. He pulled on his boxers and slipped out of the bed, landing nimbly on his knees. Scooping up Keira's clothes Jak inhaled deeply, holding her bra to his nose. He loved her scent. Keira yawned loudly and thanked Jak when she saw him standing with her clothes. But he did not hand them to her. No. He sat back on the bed next to her and, out of view of the soldiers behind him, began to gently dress Keira. Giggling Keira replied to his actions by curling a strand of his hair around her finger and saying, "Jak, I can dress myself." As this was said Jak nipped at Keira's hip causing her to give a startled cry and sounding an impatient grunt from Torn. When Jak was satisfied he stood and dressed himself but didn't complain when Keira slid onto her stomach to button and zip up his pants nor when she stood up before him to help put on his shirt and clip on his armour which had been strewn over the floor.
When Jak was dressed himself and Keira walked to the table,
"Alright love birds, you ready?" Torn asked them with a voice that ground into Jak's mind terribly painfully. Jak coughed, "Yeah." As if on que Daxter bounded up behind them and leapt up onto Jak's shoulder armour,
"Alright! I'm here! Now we can carry on with the meeting!" Daxter cried, a huge furry grin on his face. Jak rolled his eyes and looked to Keira with a smile causing Keira to giggle softly and hug Jak's arm, hiding her blushing face behind his tanned bicep. Jak turned his attention back to Torn who was shaking his head in disgrace.
"Torn, you were saying?" Jak said cooly. Torn looked up at Jak from the map before him and began on telling the trio their plan…
