"No use, you can't hear anything." says Spyro.
"What now?" asks Cynder.
"Don't know, I guess we just explore?" suggests Spyro.
"Looks like that;s our best choice right now." replies Cynder, flying off with Spyro.
Jak walks out carrying the Peacemaker. He gets on his JetBoard, and goes to Haven Forest, running over a stray scorpion metalhead here and there. He gets to the airlock and walk in. After the second door, he walk into the forest.
"How are we gonna find that thing in a place like this?!" asks Daxter.
"Easy, follow the smoke in the air." replies Jak, pointing to a line of black in the clear blue sky. They follow the smoke until they are at the tallest hill in the forest. Jak sees Dark sleeping, surrounded by Metalhead skulls. Sparx is who knows where eating butterflies. Jak cautiously waits from a distance. After a few minutes, Jak hears something above Dark. He looks up and sees a few Metalheads in the tree carrying a boulder. It is positioned just above Dark's head. Jak's eyes wide as the Metalheads start pushing the boulder out of the tree.
"WAKE UP!" yells Jak. Dark wakes immediately. She looks around just enough to have her head out the way. But the Metalheads drop the boulder. It lands directly on Dark's left wing, she is to surprised to make a noise. The Metalheads snicker, and hop down the tree and land right in front of Dark. Dark hisses and snaps at one, taking it's head off in one sickening crunch. The others take this as war. But in a few seconds, they are all beheaded. Daxter begins to walk backwards, and ends up stepping on a branch. Dark's head immediately turns to them, she sees them and growls.
"Look what you did Dax." says Jak.
"I didn't do anything!" yells Dax back.
"Let's just get that rock off her wing." says Jak, approaching cautiously.
"DARK!" they hear Sparx yell. Sparx flies a few inches from Jak's face holding up his hands in defense.
"What are you doing Sparx?" asks Dark. Jak and Daxter both look at Dark in surprise. Did that thing just talk.
"I have no idea." replies Sparx. He flies back to Dark, trying to push the boulder. Jak steps forward to help but gets growled at by Dark.
"Anymore closer, and you'll die." threatens Dark, "Move Sparx." Sparx obeys and Dark positions herself with her back feet against the boulder. She pushes and kicks the boulder across the forest. Jak and Daxter watch the boulder fly across the forest, giving Dark a chance. She tackles them to the ground. She is thrice Jak's size, so Jak has no chance of getting up. She sees Jak gulp and Daxter screams and runs off. Then she hears a clicking sound against her head. Daxter is holding the Peacemaker. Dark quickly turns her head and grab the Peacemaker in her mouth, and crushes it. Daxter, then wide eyed, runs off screaming again. She looks back down at Jak. He tries to get out from under her grip, but it's useless.
Jak POV
I gulp and look back up at the thing. I like it a LOT better from a distance. Daxter was being traitorous, again, and ran off screaming. At least he tried. I don't think I have ever felt such fear in my life. My pack that I hold my Eco in, is gone, and my only gun is crushed. I'm a sitting duck. The only thing I can do is wait. I suddenly feel the weight begin to lift a little, then it's completely gone. I sit up and see it is a foot away from me. I'm left pressed against a large boulder.
Why didn't it kill me? I think. It just stands there, glaring at me. Does it want me to run? I see my bag that holds some extra Eco on one side and my JetBoard on my other. I reach for the JetBoard, and grab it. My pack next. the thing doesn't move, just glares. Those red eyes are extremely unnerving.
"You gonna leave or not?" asks a glowing bug on my right side.
"Wha-?" I begin, but I'm cut off by a gunshot. It flies just above the things head, making it turn and growl in that direction. I look to my right and see Daxter on Torn's shoulder. The thing gets low to the ground, and it backs up. Then I see it run off, trying to fly, but it immediately crashes into the water. It recovers quickly and swims to the smallest pillar in the middle of the water. It shakes off the water, and begins to climb the tall pillars all the way to the top. The glowing bug follows it.
"You got to be more careful Jak. It could have killed you." says Torn, reloading his pistol.
"Didn't look like it was about to." I say, getting up and dusting myself off.
"Wasn't about to? The thing was less than a foot away from you, glaring at you." says Torn.
"It was waiting for me to run." says Jak.
"Oh well, what ever it is, don't go near it again. I'm not sending anymore people in case someone does die. That was too close." says Torn, walking off. I have no other choice but to follow him. But I will be back, I will know what that thing is.
