Author's note: Hi everyone, this is Tigre. This is my first story to ever be published, so please be nice if you comment. Remember anything in parentheses & italicized, ex:(Tigre Note: Look up "The Hanging Tree" on You Tube) means that in order to get the full feeling of a scene, you must open up another tab & look up whatever it says in the I own: All my OCs & plot idea Stuff I don't own: Any & all Jak & Daxter, & Spyro character/references So here we go.
Jak's P.O.V.
As I walk out my apartment door, I begin to wonder what Torn wants me to do. "Hopefully it's something I can fight, I NEED to rip something's organs out painfully... for them. I've been stuck like this for far too long" I hear Dark's voice saying then darkly laughing in the back of my mind. "Oh, you twisted imbecile, don't you know that if you go killing innocents, their families will do the same to Jak?" Light's annoyed voice argues with my dark eco counterpart. "I didn't say 'someone', idiot. I said 'something." Dark retorts. "Guys, I'd hate to break up your conversation here, but SHUT UP." I yell annoyed mentally.
I get on my zoomer, & head to the Freedom League HQ, which happens to be where the Underground HQ used to be. As I go down the familiar streets, I think about the dream I had before Torn's message woke me. After I had woken up, I had gotten a strange feeling about the dream & what the mission from Torn might be. Not a funny as in 'ha ha' feeling about it, a strange, for shadowing feeling.
As I approach the old hideout, that strange feeling comes back, but stronger than it had before. "Do you know why I'm feeling like this over a dream, Light?" I ask my light eco persona. "I'm afraid I do not know that myself, Jak" Light answers, just as concerned as I am. I can't blame him, though. He did have the same dream as I did, & so did Dark. "What do you think, Dark?" I inquire. "Dude, if Light doesn't know, how do you expect me to know? I've got the same feeling over it as you do, & even though he won't admit it, so does Light" Dark answers, not very comfortingly. "Well, that didn't help" I say aloud to the rushing wind.
I pull up next to the automatic doors guarding the interior to the Freedom League HQ & get off my prize zoomer. When I reach the automatic doors, I see that the old Underground symbol is still there. I type in the old Underground code, not sure if it was still the same as it had been all those years ago. Sure enough, the old code works, the doors pull open, & I begin to walk down the newly improved hall down to the meeting table. Torn looks up at me from two other Freedom League officers, & gets a relieved look on his face. Two other Freedom League officers that had been sitting in chairs opposite of Torn look at me, immediately stand up & salute me. "At ease, soldiers." I say to them as I salute back to them. "Commander Jak, please sit down" Torn says sternly, but kindly all the same. "Torn, for the twentieth time, don't call me that. It's just Jak, not Sir, not Commander, & definitely not Commander Jak" I say to Torn just as sternly. Torn gives me a cocky grin, which switches to a slightly confused look to his face, then says " Where is Daxter?" I give him a disbelieving look & say "Torn, he is getting married this coming summer." Torn, giving an understanding look, nods his head knowingly "Oh yeah, that's right. Not used to seeing you without him, that's all."
As I sit in the chair Torn had motioned me to, I ask "So Torn, what do you need me for?" Torn sits down in his chair & says "I need you to go into the forest & see if you can't take a picture, or find any other evidence, of a creature that Carl & Luke here saw." I turn over to Carl & Luke, look at them expectantly & wave my hand in a small circle motioning one of them to start talking "Well, what did you see" I say impatiently. "Um, well Carl & I were walking in Haven forest 3 days, 7 hours, & 2 minutes ago when we caught a glimpse of a large creature. It was definitely over 6 ft long from the tip of it's nose to the hips. It looked reptilian almost, but it had large, blood red membrane wings,... & what looked like a few large horns. Oh yeah, it was also black with a dark red underbelly" Luke says trying to contain his nerves. "It was flying over you, you said" I ask curious at what exactly this creature could be. "Yeah, it was flying really fast towards the mountain pass" Carl says before Luke could answer me.
I lean forward, elbows on my knees "Go on," I say fully intrigued. Carl & Luke look at each other, making faces & nodding their heads, trying to get the other to speak. Finally, Carl starts up. "2 days, 12 hours, & 5 minutes ago we had a situation where we saw a creature that resembled the first creature, but smaller. We were walking through the mountain pass when we heard the sound of metalheads fighting. When we saw what was fighting the metalheads, we at first thought it was a woman until we saw the wings, tail, & watched it rip a metalheads' spine out by its head. It continued to fight... actually, more like massacre, the metalheads until they stopped attacking the unidentified creature & retreated. The creature then looked up at us with a surprised look, grabbed two metalhead corpses, & took off, running on it's hind legs at first then flying towards the top of the mountain" he finishes. "What did the creature look like" I ask, surprised by this creature's strength, twitching my head to the side unconsciously. "Well," Carl began, " It was jet black, like the first unidentified creature, about your height without its tail, two white horns that we could see, a blood red underbelly, & had long hair that was blue at the roots & faded to a vibrant red after about an inch or so. It also appeared to be wearing what looked like a steel bra & skirt." I lean back into my seat, letting the information sink in. All of a sudden, the dream I had invades my current thoughts.
What do you think, Jak? Are you up for this mission," Torn asks me, standing, his arms crossed. "Yeah, I can handle it. I'm going to need a camera though," I say with a confident smile on my face. "Well, I can get you that. You should bring a gun with you just in case, though. I don't want you getting killed out there," Torn says with a barely detectable hint of actual worry. " Why would I go confront this thing without a gun? This thing can rip out a metalhead's spine with its claws for Precursor's sake!" I say while giving Torn a disbelieving chuckle. "True," Torn says with a fake scowl. "Well, what are you waiting for?" Torn asks, with a smirk. " I need the camera," I say. Torn leaves the room, & quickly returns with the camera, tossing it to me. I catch it while thanking Torn, & begin walking out the door. As I exit, I hear Carl say something to Torn. "Are you really going to let him do this?" Carl says. Torn gives a single, rough, chuckle "I trust him, he's the best we've got. He's the person who took out the metalhead leader, Kor" Torn says. I hop on my zoomer & head to the Naughty Ottsel to see if Daxter wants to come, though I doubt he will.

Publisher: All I got is fumes right now again... what is with me, maybe I need to read a new book or have a new experience. Crash has been asleep for a while and I got a character bio for Atlas but I find it hard to do one for Tettra. They both are part of my Crash Bandicoot New residence fic and if you haven't read it please do and... oh no. I just found out that the Crash on the couch is a fake, and the real one has just found the... ATOM BOMB THAT HAS BEEN BURIED UNDER MY YARD!?
