Jak and Daxter: An Assassin's Promise
Chapter 1: Their Journey Begins
Years passed by, a young boy with spikey blonde hair sat on the fisher man's boat. His eyes still the same striking blue, with his brows a shade of green. The roots of his hair still showed the green he had once had but had quickly turned to a blonde. He sat on the boat waiting for his best friend Daxter, who was now running down to the docks.
The boy had bright orange hair and a bit of an overbite, showing his buck teeth. He was shorter than the blonde boy but was more outspoken.
"Jak why do you always have to come up with these kinds of ideas huh?" Daxter complained.
Jak simply laughed, he knew it was as much of his idea as it was his best friends. They were headed out to the island that Samos, the green sage had told them about. He had always told them that they were not permitted to go to the island but that's what made it more interesting to the two teens. As soon as Daxter jumped in the boat, Jak let it set sail. They reached the island and saw it wasn't much of anything. Dark and gloomy were the only words Jak could use to describe the place, why Samos said it was forbidden was beyond him.
The two walked around and heard someone speaking. The two hid behind two jagged rocks and looked down on the meeting below. Jak listened but hardly cared what they were talking about, same went for Daxter as he walked away.
"Stupid sage. Nothing's here dark and gloomy is all it is!" Daxter half shouted.
Jak shook his head and watched as Daxter tripped over something.
"Stupid precursor junk! That Samos is always going on about it. Where did they go? Why did they build this crap!" he shouted, then threw the object over to Jak.
As soon as it landed in Jak's hands the item began glowing. Daxter was still going on a rant when he saw the dark eco below them.
"What is this dark ooze? Yuck!" Daxter said.
It was then that Daxter noticed the object glowing in Jak's hands.
"Whoa! How did you do that?" Daxter said obnoxiously.
Jak simply just shook his head as a I don't know. Then noticed that something was coming up behind them. The monster appeared and Jak quickly looked to the object and threw it at the monster. When it landed it exploded causing the two boys to fly backwards. Jak stopped in time before he fell into the eco below, however Daxter wasn't so lucky. The boy fell into the pool below. Jak heard him fall and went to grab him but he wasn't quick enough. Jak looked in the eco desperately to find a sign of his friend but nothing came.
Suddenly a flash came to his mind. He saw a small girl fall off what looked like a cliff and heard someone screaming for her. Though she continued to fall before she hit the ground, Jak was brought out of it when he heard Daxter again. Jak sighed in relief when he heard his voice but was shocked when Daxter climbed out.
"What the hell was that for?!" Daxter yelled.
Though Jak wasn't concerned about that at the moment as he stared at the boy. He was no longer human. Now he was shorter and had orange fur and a tail. Though he still had his goggles.
"What?" Daxter asked.
Then he finally noticed what was wrong with him. He saw orange and noticed he had fur.
"AAAHHH!" he screamed as he noticed this.
Jak simply covered his ears as he was trying to figure out what had happened.
"No it's okay. I'm fine. Totally fine." Daxter said.
Daxter then noticed that he also had a tail and finally he lost it again.
"AAAHHH!" he screamed and jumped up on Jak, grabbing his shirt.
'Samos is going to have our heads for this.' Jak thought.
Far away from Jak and Daxter. A young girl walked through the forest. She had blonde hair with green streaks and was wearing combat boots with skinny jeans and a long sleeved shirt. She also had goggles on her head and wore black gloves. She had been living in the village nearby, though she knew she wasn't from here. Her memory was gone but she knew that this wasn't home.
"Dessary!" a voice called.
She turned to see the man she grew to know as a father walk towards her. Always referring to him as father, who else could she turn to?
"Hello father, what is it?" she asked.
"I need you to head out and find the red sage. He's been gone for quite some time. Here take these power cells with you. I'm sure you'll need them."
"Oh father I can't take these from you."
"No dear it's fine. Besides you'll have more use for them then myself." He said with a bright smile.
Dessary smiled taking the power cells. She placed them into her bag she carried and smiled at him.
"Alright I'll be off then father. Don't get into too much trouble while I'm gone." Dessary said with a wink.
Her father laughed shaking his head.
"That's supposed to be my line dear! Good Luck!" he called back to her.
Dessary then left her village, making her way through the trail.
Jak and Daxter slowly walked into Samos' hut. Though the second they took a step in the old sage heard them.
"Where have you two been?" he asked.
"We were-" Daxter started to say before he was interrupted by the sage.
"Wait let me guess, you two went to Misty Island after I told you not to."
"That's right then we-"Daxter tried to say again.
"Then Daxter you finally took a much needed bath but this time it was in dark eco. Though I have to say the change is a better one."
Daxter growled at his comment, while Jak just chuckled.
"Well if you want to change back I can't help you there. You will have to find Sage Gol. Though I can't help you there either because all the other sages haven't had their portals turned on in a long time. Though if you could travel to the different places and turn on their portals we can figure out what has been going on."
Just then a young girl came in with blue/green hair.
"You'll have to go north and to do that you'll need a zoomer that can with stand the heat from the pass. Luckily I happen to be working on such a thing at this very moment." She said.
Jak smiled, the girl's name was Keira. She was Samos' daughter and Jak and Daxter's childhood friend. Keira was always a handy mechanic and could develop a lot of new equipment including the zoomer. Though Jak had developed a huge crush on Keira since they were young and now he was sure he was in love with her.
"Hey there sweet stuff." Daxter said. "How about a date with orange lightening."
"I don't date animals." Keira said with a smile and turned to Jak with a smile.
"If you can get enough power cells, we could get the zoomer up and running. How about going around the village. They'll be sure to have some in exchange for some precursor orbs."
Jak nodded and smiled.
"A demanding job but not a bad one for a brave adventurer." Keira said looking at Jak.
Jak smiled at her.
"Yeah good thing we got one right here." Daxter said pointing to himself.
"Yeah right." Keira said.
Jak then grabbed Daxter and pulled him towards the village before Samos could yell at them to get out of his hut. They walked around the village collecting orbs to trade for the power cells. Not to mention unblocking Samos' green eco vents earning them another power cell in return. Once they finished scouting the village and the forbidden forest, they came across a precursor robot.
Jak exchanged 120 orbs each for the power cells and got two power cells out of the deal. Soon enough they had enough to power up Keira's zoomer. Jak hurried to the pass and met Keira who was setting up the zoomer.
"Good job guys, that should be enough to power up the zoomer. Just make sure you don't over heat it. Make sure when you get to the blue sage's hut that you turn on the portal so daddy and I can meet you there." Keira said.
She then walked off back to her father's hut leaving the two to go through the passage. Jak got on the zoomer and kept in mind not to be too reckless since Keira would get pissed off if anything bad happened to it.
Dessary made it to what seemed to be the red sage's hut. She looked around noticing all his things thrown on the ground. She then came across two strange people talking with what looked like the red sage completely knocked out.
"All we have left now is the yellow and the green sage. This was far too easy, figures they would be too weak against our dark eco powers." The woman said.
Dessary kept hidden as she listened to them. Quietly the teen hurried to the pathway that would lead to the yellow sage's hut. She had to get to him in time to warn him of the two people. When she got to the pathway she noticed she needed a zoomer to cross.
"Damn, now what." She cursed.
She looked around the area and saw a zoomer in good enough shape to ride. Dessary hurried over to it and noticed the heat shield was just strong enough to get her to the other end.
"This will have to work, just have to make sure I get there in one shot." She said to herself.
Dessary then got on the zoomer turning it on. She quickly crossed the passage, leaving the zoomer safely on the other side. Then the teen quickly ran to the yellow sage's hut. When she got there she found him trying to turn on his portal.
"Yellow sage!" she yelled.
The yellow sage quickly turned to see Dessary standing in the door way. She was out of breath when she tried to speak again.
"What is it young one?" he asked.
"Dark eco sages. They took the other two sages. I think they are coming after you next. I saw them at the red sages hut and he was knocked out when I got there." She explained.
"We must hurry then, who else do they have?" he asked her.
"So far they have the blue and red sages. You and the green sage are left."
"I must send a warning to Samos then. Once I do that we'll get out of here." He told her.
He went to the portal and went to turn it on but before he could they heard someone coming. Quickly the yellow sage threw the girl in the corner covering her up so they couldn't see her.
"Hello yellow sage. It's been a while hasn't it?" the man spoke.
"You! What have you done! No good can come of the dark eco. You of all people should know that." The yellow sage yelled.
"Oh but it can be controlled and now we can take over this world. At least with the help of all of the sages power that is."
"As if we would ever willingly help you."
"Funny, sound just like the others. However they were all taken and will help me whether they like it."
They then attacked the yellow sage. The yellow sage fought back but was out numbered. Dessary was about to come out to help, when she caught the sage's eyes. He quickly shook his head, Dessary stopped her movement and watched helplessly as they stole away the yellow sage.
"Three down one to go." The woman said.
"We'll wait here for the green sage. He will be here soon enough, I think he has a young boy out trying to stop us. How foolish of him." The man spoke.
With that the two disappeared, leaving Dessary alone. She came out and tried to figure out what to do. They had mentioned that someone was out trying to stop them with the green sage.
"Perhaps I should leave small warnings in the huts. Father would know what to do, but I can't drag him into this." Dessary said to herself.
She looked around the area, noticing that they made it clear that there was no struggle, no evidence. So the girl did what she could throwing things to the ground and arranging them to look like the struggle that had just happened.
"There hopefully they'll understand that. I can't go back to the passage since the zoomer's shield is almost out. Though there it did look like there was a struggle, so that should be enough to warn them before they get here."
Dessary then walked out of the hut and saw the two standing in front of a door. They walked through it, she quickly followed after them, knowing full well that she might get caught.
'Whoever you are please come quickly. It won't be long before they have enough power to destroy everything as we know it.'
Jak and Daxter beat the monster that was attacking the village of the blue sage. Once passed there Keira had another zoomer ready for them to take across the mountain pass that would send them to the red sages place. They made it there with ease and quickly ran into the hut, turning on the portal so Samos and Keira could come through.
After they both arrived, Keira walked around and saw how messy the place was. She looked to Jak and her father.
"It looks like there was some kind of struggle here. Could the sages have been kidnapped?" she asked.
Before anyone could answer two figures showed up in midair. Jak stood in front of Keira and Daxter when he felt the threat. He glared at them as they began to speak.
"It wasn't much of struggle. The old man barely made the effort." The woman spoke.
"Gol and Mia, what do you two think you are doing?" Samos demanded.
"We are going to make this world a better place. A place filled with the power of dark eco." Gol said.
"You should know better than anyone that dark eco can't be properly controlled. I warned you both what it would do to you." Samos told them.
"But it can be controlled Samos and it has made us both stronger than ever before." Gol told them.
"Yeah but have you looked in a mirror lately? You look hideous!" Daxter teased.
Jak scooted Daxter back, not wanting his best friend to be attacked for it.
The two simply ignored Daxter and continued on.
"The other three sages are helping us at this very moment and soon so will you Samos." Mia said.
"Against their wills I bet." Samos muttered.
"Though I have to say that girl made things difficult. Though she will be put to good use as well." Gol said.
"What girl?" Samos asked.
"None of your business Samos, however it might be to your interest to know that she can channel eco as well. I've never seen something like that before. We'll put her to good use." Mia spoke, she then looked over at Jak then to Gol.
"Interesting. She almost likes identical to you boy." Gol said.
Jak glared at them.
"You won't get away with this." Keira said to them.
"We'll see about that." Mia said.
Finally the two disappeared leaving the group.
"I wonder what girl they were talking about." Keira said looking at her father.
"They said she has eco abilities, meaning she might be like you Jak. Another thing to add to the list. We'll have to make sure we get to them and stop them." Samos said.
"Wait wasn't that the Gol that was supposed to change me back?! I'm doomed." Daxter sighed.
"This isn't about you anymore Daxter now do us all a favor and shut that mouth of yours!" Samos shouted.
"I'll get to work on a zoomer so you can get over to the yellow sage's hut. Same thing as before, make sure you turn on the portal when you get there. Might want to check this place out as well. We'll need more power cells to start the zoomer up." Keira said.
Jak and Daxter both nodded and turned, walking out of the red sage's hut. As they walked Jak had another vision.
He saw a girl around his age, she was in another village. He saw her talk to a man and then leave. The next flash came and brought her to this place. There he could see what she had seen. Gol and Mia had the red sage and he was unconscious. When the vision changed again she was at the yellow sage's hut. There she was talking to the yellow sage but then she was shoved in a corner and watched as Gol and Mia took the yellow sage away.
Once again the vision changed and she was standing in a huge room with some kind of robot at the center. Looking up he saw the sages in cages and one was left empty. The next thing he knew everything was black and when he opened his eyes he was back where he was. Daxter climbed up on his shoulder looking at him funny.
"You okay there buddy?" he asked.
Jak simply nodded. Whoever this girl was, it was clear they were both connected in some way he just had no idea why or how yet.
I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. I know almost all of the first game is crunched into this one chapter but most of this story takes place in Jak 2 and Jak 3. So I apologize for that. Let me know what you think and thank you so much for reading.
