"Ah, so what, can you heal as well?" Jak pointed to the beast who was walking to him, it grbabed its head and moved it, then put both of its hands or claws together and slammed down on Jak, he stuck his blade above him, and the monster shrieked as the blade entered his left wrist, then Jak slashed at the wrist after pulling it out, he heated the blade slowly then when it was a reddish orange, he ran to the boss, and plunged the blade in its stomach, it didnt move it swiped Jak and he went flying, it was five times at least, strong than the first one, and it pulled the blade out like a toothpick in between someone teeth, then threw it at Jak, Jak felt the blade sink into his shoulder
"AAHH, THATS FUCKING HOT!" Jak slid over and smacked the sword out of his shoulder, then he saw the monsters stomach, it was fine, and he hadnt even moved
"Ok, Art give me your sword" Art threw it to Jak, he heated the blade until it was white, then his, and they readied their blades
"When, i run to him, you ran as well, but when i strike, you get the neck, REX stay put" Rex nodded then Art did they ran to the monster it stood still, then, they struck, the monster moved its hand up, and blocked Arts blade, but it went through and his hand dropped, Art kept going, he made half way through its neck, then he felt a thing smack his back, he was on the ground in seconds, then he saw a beasts hand pick him up, it smacked his head on a rock hard, he swa black, then the beast ran with Art still in both hands, the big one took the blade from his neck, then shoved it into Jaks stomach
"Your not anywhere near as strong as me, and now your friend is going to die" The big one ran after its brother like a gorilla, then the other one got up and ran, after grabbing its brothers hand and then leaving the previous brothers corpse
"ART" Sarah ran after Art but Jak grabbed her arm and pulled her back, he took Arts sword and set in the snow, making it cool again, but cracking the median and then he put his in the snow, and then in his sheath
"Alright, lets go get your ring Judy" Jak started to walk forward, then everyone watched him
"HURRY WE NEED TO GET IT THEN GET ART!" Everyone heard him yell, so they ran after, Judy leading, they made it to the spot, then Judy pointed to the woods, and Jak ran in, leaving Rex to guard them, after a while, maybe four minutes, he saw something a tree, it was a dream catcher, then another next to it, two of them, he ran to it, and saw the ring was in the middle, it was sewn in like a peice of cloth is, on a shirt, as one
"Well, i dont know much about dream catchers, but a black one, doesnt seem to friendly" Jak tore it apart and got the ring, then ran back, he saw everyone pointing behind him, Art was running after Jak, but he was odd looking, he had black veins all over his body, and his eyes were black
"Art!" Jak turned and stopped Art jumped up and spun, he kicked Jak right in the head, then landed and stood taller than Jak, his legs and arms were as long as the monsters now
"What the hell?!" Jak saw Art step at him then smash his hand into a tree, the tree shattered into splinters, then Jak took his pistol out, he shot Art in the chest, and it didnt heal, it wasnt Art for sure, it was a combination
"Ok, bud, you wanna go, lets g-" The monster turned and then spun, his fist in the air, then it collided with Jaks head, it sent him flying back
"Jak, i told you Art was going to die, yet you went after a ring? a little piece of jewelry with no meaning but wealth? I would be a better friend to Art than you, and yet I'm killing him" Jak heard the voice, it was the bosses and this one had no horns, it was like he was using another beast with Arts body
"I came here to take the ring, then I was planning on getting Art, but now i have to kill you" The monster laughed then sluggishly walked to Jak, it swiped at him, and missed, Jak pulled his sword out, and as he did, he used the drawing of the sword as an attack, which cut into the monsters throat, it put its clawed hand to its throat then coughed black blood, Jak attacked again and slashed at its chest, he spun once more and jumped he decapitated the beast, then kicked the head far away, he saw something run by and pick the head up, there was no more black blood, just a black slate
Jak ran back and gave Judy her ring
"Lets go get Art!" Jak ran fast, only Judy and Sarah could keep up, Rex, Nick, Mary, and Abbie were behind, nut they all got to the edge of the path, then ran in the direction of Arts taking, they ran for and hour, and found and heard nothing
"DAMNIT, WHERE ARE YOU ARE!?" Jak yelled his name and cursed while looking for him, he thought he saw things behind them, but it was just snow in their peripherals, and when it started to turn night, they thought they heard something behind them, once again, nothing
"Jak, he's not here, we have to go back, its to cold for this, only you could survive, you can heat anyting, and your pretty much immune to cold, you could be walking on dry ice, and be fine" Jak turned, his eyes were red, and he had frost on his face, he had some ice coming from his eyes, he wiped it all away, and pointed behind them
"Go to the house then, i'll look for Art myself, ART!" Jak yelled and yelled, he probably had no more vocal cords by the time he was done yelling, he waited to let his throat heal, then he saw something on his left, he saw a thing stumbling around, he drew his sword, and was ready to kill it, but it was human
"Art?!" The thing turned to him, its eyes glowed blue, and its skin was white, it walked like all of its limbs were broken, and it was keeping something in it
The thing jumped at least one hundred feet behind Jak, then it started to run at Jak, it was Art he had changed his body completely, he was like a zombie with blue eyes (Think of a skull from MGS5)
"Art stop!" Art kept running, Jak slashed at Art, he stopped then looked at his arm, it dropped to the ground, then he picked it up and set it back in place, he turned and kicked Jak in the side, he was as strong, if not stronger than the beast, and Jak felt every bone on his left side break, nothing survived, except his jaw and the left side of his skull, he smacked a tree, and every bone in his body broke, after a few seconds Jak tried to stand but wasnt able to, Art walked over and started to drag Jak by his throat, he walked until Jak could faintly make out a light, it was the cabin, Rex pointed in the window, then opened the door, Art threw Jak at the house, he smashed into the wall and dropped to the ground
"Art what are you doing?" Art turned and saw Sarah in a heavy jacket and boots, she looked like a bunny model
"Just here" Art sounded different, then the big beast from before appeared behind Sarah it grabbed her and Art watched it hold her
"Well, now i can make a pair, Jak you have given such excellent specimen, next is you tiger boy" Art felt odd his body felt normal again, his eyes were green again, and he had the color return to his body, he also felt stronger, better, like an instant upgrade to his body, the beast turned and Art jumped high, then slammed down on its head, he took Sarah from its claws as it was stunned, then he jumped all the way over to the house door, he set her down and jumped back to Jak, he held his hand to him, Jak took it and Art lifted him up
"Well, you feel better now after breaking me?" Art shook his head then pointed to Sarah
"Art why arnt you talking, your the funny one?" Art opened his mouth and tried to speak, he only said three words
"I cant speak" Art looked like he had just won the lottery from that point, then put his hands on his face
"Um, ok, well lets get rid of this t-" Jak felt something heavy hit his chest, the beast threw a boulder at him, and Art took his sword from Jak, then lifted the rock like a pebble and threw it back
"WHAT THE IFREANN!?" The beast felt the rock hit his legs and he flipped forward then saw Art jumped, and almost like he teleported was in front of him, Art stabbed the boss in the neck, then started whacking at it with the bladed part
"Now Art, your not supposed to do that to your master" The boss grabbed Arts leg and lifted him up, then stood, Art swung his sword at him, and he didnt hit him once, the monster slammed him into the rock, Art dropped his sword and saw black
"Lets go fix ou again, make you better, and make you stronger, big strong brutes are stupid as you know" The monster stuck Arts leg in his mouth then bit down and ate it, he healed even faster than ran back into the forest
"NNNNOOOO" Art had regained consciousness and his voice fell silent again, the door at the house was broken, and the wall had been cracked by Jak, whos bones were now resetting and fixing themselves
"Rex, help me inside" Rex walked over and picked Jak up then let him stand, Rex was used as a support, Jak barley moved his feet, then they all went inside, Sarah had stopped talking and just stared out of a window
"Sarah, Art is going to be fine, when he saw you he changed back, your his cu-" Sarah turned her fur was wet, and she was crying
"JAK WHY DID YOU ATTACK IT, YOU COULD HAVE MADE ART RUN INSIDE, AND IT WOULD HAVE TO COME IN AND FIGHT YOU!" Jak shook his head then looked at Rex
"Because it would have killed all of you, Art would rather die than see any harm come to any of you" Jak left the room with Rex and walked into the one with the makeshift beds, he laid down and then tried to sleep
Art and the boss in the woods
"Now you bastard, i thought i made you what you wanted, i let you become strong, and you attack me? Now i have to hurt you more" The boss took Art into a small mine, it was abandoned and Art was placed on a mine cart back, hundreds of the beings were there doing things and talking, some eating things, then he saw the boss come back over with a substance that hurt, it was like acid, and the boss told Art if he helped him get his friends he would make him strong, but he would have to be controlled by the boss with a special bond, if Art let the boss put a special gem on him, he could control Art and his motions, but the gem would mess with his body and its functions
"I'll put in a few gems instead of, one, if one works that well, five will do the trick, also you might need more of that strong food" The boss left then came back with dirty brown rocks, he then cracked them open and cut the back or Arts head open and placed them in, then poured the "strong food" in his mouth and he swallowed, Art tried to break out of the cart after a few seconds, but as he broke on, he only black figures, and he thought of them as friendly, he got up and a bunch of them walked to him, his eyes were blue again and his skin pale, he had a torn up shirt, which one of the beasts took off, then came back with a gray tank top, it had a holster on it, but no gun, so Art discarded it and then he heard the boss say
"Ok, Ealain go and get one of those things that attacked me" Art nodded then jumped to the exit and ran out, the cold didnt feel cold at all, and the air was warm, it was odd
"Thing that attacked boss?" Art thought then an image of Jak flashed in his mind, when he had thrown him against the tree
"Oh, one of them" Art jumped high then landed somewhere else looking for a light, or a cabin, he found a cabin after a few more jumps, then walked up to it and kicked the door down, there was a pair of three white figures, they looked like bears
"Sorry wrong cabin" Art turned and exited then jumped onto the roof, and looked around, he only saw dark and snow, there was no light, then he tried to get higher, he jumped higher and felt very tired then landed and almost fell off
"The oxygen is lower the higher up, damn" Art looked for a hill to go to, he saw one and in four long jumps, he made it to the top
"Ok, light, or a cabin" Art looked around he was on a mountain side, and he could see only four lights, in a few miles, his vision was like infared, he saw heat but figures that were not the beasts were white, and he could see the outline of them, but not the face
"Ok, one..two, three...four" Art jumped down and jumped up focusing on, he looked like a cricket trying to see above some grass, then when he got close, he made sure he was his strongest, but his body hurt, and he could only move certain parts, like the first time Jak saw him
"Ow, fuckin hell, ok" Art bent some bones in he left leg and his chest that were uncomfortable he had to walk oddly, and when he saw the cabin, it was not Nick and Judys, so he went to the next light, that light was at a parking area, he jumped up and saw only one light now, he jumped three times and landed in front of a cabin, it wasnt Nick and Judys either
"DAMNIT" Art yelled then walked over to the door and kicked it in, he looked around and saw a family of what looked like sloths, they were all getting up
"I cant even take one of these things" Art walked over to one and lifted it up, it was still moving its arms to throw the covers off
"Yea, ok, this is not what I'm bringing back" Art dropped the sloth then walked out, he started walking on a path and saw two wolves drinking wearing some odd cloths
"Oi, mates give me your cloths" One of the wolves started laughing then said
"HAHA, and what are you supposed to be? a glow in the dark albino?" Art walked over and slammed their heads together, then took what he wanted, he got baggy black pants, a big belt, which he decided to only put through one hole, and let the belt hang, since the pants were tight enough to fit on him alone
"Ok, last light, where were you?" Art jumped higher than he had before trying to find it, he landed on the trail sign that pointed to the different trail areas
"So, its east of here, so that means" Art turned around three times then lost his sense of direction
"East is? THAT WAY!" Art jumped in a random direction, for a soldier, he doesnt know direction very well
After Art had jumped a few times, he jumped very high, and saw the three lights around, so the last light would be to his upper right, he started jumping that way until he saw the house, there was no light on, and it had someone looking through the window, they were a mix of both black and white, it was odd, was it a friend or foe, when he started walking to it, he saw it turn then point at him, he stopped, it had two long ears, and it was gray not white or black, he could even see its face
