Jak and Daxter: An Assassin's Promise

Chapter 3: Separate Ways

"Well the day has come." Samos said looking at the group before him.

Keira was standing inside the rift rider, Jak was leaning against the machine while Daxter sat on his shoulder, and Dessary was on the opposite side of the machine leaning.

"So we are actually going to use this thing?" Daxter asked looking at it.

"Indeed we found it for a reason the precursors have spoken." Samos said to them.

"Well no time like the present let's do this." Dessary said hoping into the rider next to Keira.

Jak jumped in and sat between the girls while Daxter sat in the middle of them all. Samos hopped in beside Dessary.

"Alright Jak do your thing." Daxter said waiting for Jak to hit the button.

Jak slowly pushed the button in front of him and started up the rift rider and the portal. As it opened a huge monster looking creature peered out.

"Finally I found you." It whispered.

Everyone stared in shock at the creature not knowing what to do.

"Jak do something!" Daxter yelled.

Jak reached for the controls and launched themselves forward towards the monster. As they passed through the portal the rift rider exploded and sent all of them flying. Keira and her father were further behind Jak and Daxter, while Dessary wasn't too far from the boys.

"Find yourself Jak!" Samos yelled.

The next thing Jak saw was a strange looking city. He slowly got up looking around at his surroundings. Only to be brought back by Daxter throwing a piece of the rider on the ground.

"That's it that is the last time I ever, ever! Touch and precursor crap!" he screamed.

"Over there." Someone said.

The boys looked up to find a group of people dressed in uniform come their way. Daxter freaked out and ran under the guards and out of their way, leaving Jak to himself.

"Ignore the rat, he only wants the boy." One said.

Jak's eyes widened but he didn't even have time to move before one of the guards managed to knock him out cold. The last thing he heard was Daxter calling to him.

"Don't worry Jak! I'll get you out in no time!"

Dessary woke up in the middle of the streets and slowly stood herself up. Looking around she noticed parts she remembered but that was impossible. She had never been to this place let alone seen it before.

She quickly ran through the alley and came out to what looked like a castle of some sort. She was able to get closer only to notice people approaching. Looking at their outfits she guessed they must have been some kind of guards. Dessary was about to walk away until she noticed that one of them was carrying something.

Dessary looked closer at the object and saw it was not only a person but someone she knew.

"Jak." She whispered.

She watched them walk through one of the side doors and made a mental not of which door it was. Dessary then quickly went into the town, if she was going to bust Jak out she had to make sure no one would be able to see her clear as day. She needed some kind of outfit that would hide her face and just about every part of her.

Dessary ran into the nearest house and saw it was abandoned. She quickly rummaged through all the drawers and stopped when she found an outfit that would work perfectly. It was a uniform looking outfit. It was jet black with blue lining on the edges. There was a belt with a strange symbol on it and the back of it had a tail to the coat. She smiled when she saw the hood. It was long enough to cover her face from everyone and it came to a point at the end.

"Perfect." She whispered.

She quickly threw on the outfit thanking the precursors that it fit her perfectly. She put on the black skinny looking jeans on and her black boots over them. Once she was adjusted she noticed that there were wrist blades with it as well and a sword holder with a sword already in place. Looking in the nearby mirror she barely recognized herself at all. Dessary couldn't help but give a quick smirk before she left the abandoned building.

Keira woke up in the middle of the streets she looked around wondering where she was but couldn't find an answer. Slowly she got up and saw someone approaching her.

"Hello there my dear may I help you?" he asked.

"No I'm fine, I should get going." Keira said.

The man then grabbed her by the wrist, Keira was about to punch him in the face with her free hand until she noticed he was dressed in some kind of uniform.

"I didn't mean to frighten you. My name is Errol and I'm one of the palace guards and also a racer." He said to her.

"Racer huh?" Keira said.

"Indeed are you in to racing?"

"Couldn't tell you but I am a pretty good mechanic." Keira told him.

"Well if you are as good as you say you are come with me. We need a new mechanic for the garage if you're interested."

"Lead the way."

Keira followed slowly behind him, she didn't like this man but she figured if she was able to get in there she would be able to find some sort of lead to where her father, Jak, Daxter, and Dessary had landed.

'Stay safe.' she thought.

Dessary walked around the building and managed to find the door the guards had took Jak into. She kept close to the walls and blended in as she went down the halls. As she walked she heard two guards coming her way so she hurried and hid in the closest abandoned room. Leaning out a bit she heard them talking.

"What do you think about the new prisoner?" the guard asked.

"To quiet he won't say a word to anyone. He won't last long here not with that dark eco project they decided to do."

"Yeah soon enough the boy will kick the bucket that's for sure."

Another guard came up to the two bigger ones that were just talking. Dessary kept her ears opened as she listened to the conversation, hoping they would give away where Jak might be being held.

"Excuse me but I'm supposed to head down to the cell blocks and I lost my way. Where is it again?"

"New recruit I'm assuming. It's just down the hall there. Make a right and it will take you down to the prison cells."

"Thank you."

The small guard then hurried down the hall as the other two turned the corner.

Dessary saw her chance and followed the guard to the cell block. He went down below while Dessary scanned the area. Looking around she began to feel frustrated when she saw no sign of Jak nor could she tell if any of them looked like him at all.

"This would be so much easier if I had animal vision." Dessary whispered to herself.

'You have the power to do so young one. Just close your eyes and let your eco and eyes be your guide.' A voice whispered.

Dessary nearly jumped out of her skin when it spoke but she decided that it would be better to try than stand around and do nothing. Slowly she closed her eyes and focused her eco, once she felt enough power she quickly opened her eyes and was surprised to see her vision had changed. Everything seemed to be in black and white except for a yellow glow coming from one of the cells below her.

She closed and opened her eyes again and saw clear as day that it was Jak. Smiling to herself she made her way down the steps, careful to avoid the guards as she did. In no time she was in front of Jak's cell who looked very surprised and relieved at her presence.

"I'll get you out of here just hold on Jak." She whispered to him.

Jak quickly nodded and watched as she pulled out a lock pick and began to try to pick the lock to the cell. It was a few minutes before she finally heard the click and was able to open the door. Jak went to step out but pulled her behind him when he noticed someone coming their way.

The boy closed the door and made it seem as if the cell was still locked and pointed for Dessary to hide in the corner. After a moment the guards were gone and Jak motioned for her to come out.

"Thanks Jak now let's get you out of here."

Jak nodded and the two quickly made their way through the cell block. Dessary used her vision again to find the closest exit and navigated their way out. Once they were up top Dessary breathed a quick sigh of relief before turning to Jak again.

"Alright we need to get out of the building and then find Keira, Daxter, and Samos. I'm sure Samos must know what's going on around here."

The blonde nodded as they moved farther when they were close enough to the nearest exit, they heard a voice behind them.

"Well it seems we had a little bit of a break out did we?" a man said.

Dessary froze, she had heard that voice before but couldn't put her finger on where or why she would have. Jak stood in front of Dessary in front of the tall man as another appeared beside him. He was thin and small but to Dessary he looked a little too intimidating for a small man.

"Yes indeed. What shall we do with them Praxis?" he asked the bigger man.

"Errol I want you to throw the prisoner back in his cell and begin preparations for the project. Tomorrow will be his first rounds. As for the intruder leave them for me to handle." Praxis said.

Errol then grabbed Jak by the arm but this time he fought back. Dessary still stood there frozen in her spot as Praxis got closer to her. Jak was able to free himself from Errol and ran in front of Dessary blocking Praxis. The man grew angry and went to push Jak aside but Jak fought back.

Dessary finally came to her senses and threw her weapons at Praxis, grabbed Jak's hand and made a run for it. Errol though was quick on their tail as they raced around corners trying to lose him and finally they were able to duck into the closest abandoned room. They watched as Errol flew by and the two breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.

"Jak I'll distract them while you get out of here. You need to go find those three and figure out where we are. I'll be fine by myself I'm used to it in fact." Dessary said.

Jak shook his head and looked at Dessary. She was in utter shock as Jak finally spoke to her for the first time since she knew the boy.

"You get out of here and find them. They want me not you, I'll be fine besides I'm sure Keira or Samos can come up with a way to get me out. I'll be okay believe me." Jak said looking at the girl.

Dessary finally took her hood down and looked Jak in the eye.

"This is the first time I have ever heard you speak. I thought you couldn't." Dessary said with a smile.

"I always could, why bother when Dax did all the talking for me anyway?" he said smiling at the girl.

"True. You and I are a lot alike Jak. I promise I'll get you out of here with or without the others. Stay strong." She said.

Jak then hugged her and they parted. Without another word Jak ran out of the room and that was the last time she saw him for two years.
