Chapter 4:
I never actually had a boring moment in my life…well until I got stuck here. There was nothing at all to be seen for miles. I didn't even know how long I was sitting there either, seemed like a week although I wouldn't be able to survive a week without food or water. Either way my thoughts were moving around confusion.
That night I had looked up at the full moon as it shined on my face. I sighed looking up at it as just like me, it was lonely up there. I guess this is where insanity actually hit me, I began to have a conversation with the moon. It was like I could hear it talking back even though from a distance it would have seemed like I was talking to myself.
"Hi." "How are you?" "I'm kind of chained here by myself but I'm alright." "So how long have you been here?" "That's quite awhile…Do you know how long I've been here?" "Two days huh? Strange how I haven't gotten skinnier." "Well that's true…" "So do you see a lot of people hanging here?" "I don't believe I'm the first…" "Well where am I?" "Am I really only next to the city?" "Then how come I can't hear any of their noise?" "Sand can do that?"
"Yes it can." A familiar voice had said. I looked over at the bars and metal walls where Ashelin stood looking in at me. I bet she was thinking I was crazy but I could care less at this moment. She opened the door and walked up to me with a water bottle in her hand. She told me to open my mouth but I wasn't going to accept it. I kept my trap sealed tight which probably isn't the smartest move seeing as I haven't had water for awhile.
She looked at me and sighed. "Now we can do this the easy way or the hard way…Choose." Although she said it like that her voice was still rather low and calm. I was confused about that seeing as she seemed like a strong woman but I shrugged. I wasn't going to cave in easily. But the unexpected happened, She punched me in my stomach and my mouth opened wide in a groaning noise. She poured water down my throat and just as easily I accepted it.
I looked at her as she continued to water fountain the drink into my mouth, which made looking at her hard but she looked even more amazing up close then from a distance. Once the bottle of water was empty I she turned and walked to the door and closed it. "Well then…Have you calmed down?" She asked looking directly in my eyes.
Her gaze somewhat paralyzed me as I looked at her…It was kind of like a medusa affect but I kept the same dumbfounded look on my face even while on the inside I was shaking in fear. She pulled out a knife and stepped toward me. Looking at the blade it was a sharp knife and I wasn't sure what she was gonna do with it. In one swift motion she brought the knife down and it cut off the chains on my right side, she repeated on the left side and cut off those chains also.
I was finally free was my first thought before I realized the shackles were still attached. I couldn't believe it when an electrical field attaching the wrist shackles made a connection like handcuffs. The same happened with my ankles. If my dumbfounded face was bad before it must have looked worse now. "Now its time to talk…This camp here in the desert is the second best camp around and it will get you more prepared for the war then the others. There are currently five members in this camp right now so you five are now a group." "A group?" I questioned. All the other soldiers were by themselves…why were we in a group? "Yes…A special group for the most advanced of missions. Believe it or not each one of you have some sort of Eco powered ability." And that's where I became completely confused. "What the hell is Eco?" It seemed like a word she just made up. "I forgot…Your sector of the city was all power by water…How can I explain… Eco is a power source that not only powers machines but humans and animals also…It can also be considered part of your life source. There are two main parts of Eco, Dark and Light. Jak has a mastery of both of these techniques. But there is some old Eco's that aren't used in our daily lives as much as could be. The 4 Eco elements which was founded by Jak, Keira, and the Green Sage. From the time they came from these four Eco elements were well known but disappeared in this time. The three of them found some old Eco wells and made more Eco from it. The rest of the public has no idea about these four Eco's…But there are descendents of the four sages…"
I had to cut her off. "I understand the Light and Dark Eco but what are the other four? And what possible powers do they have?" "I was getting to that…Anyway the four sages, The Green sage who is here with us, and the Red, Yellow, and Blue sage who are dead. There is also the Dark Eco sage, Gol, who was defeated by Jak and Daxter in their old time zone with the use of Light Eco. Now each Eco has its own power to it. Lets start with Green Eco, which is still commonly used today by soldiers and soldiers only. Green Eco Heals the person who uses it. Samos, The green Eco Sage has mastered it. Next I'll move to Blue Eco, which allows the user to move faster, attract precursor objects to them, and also powers some precursor machines. The Blue Sage has mastered this Eco. Next we have the Yellow Eco, which allows the user to shoot our bursts of energy from his hands or feet. The Yellow Sage mastered this technique. Finally, We have Red Eco, which strengthens the user. Mastered by the Red Sage. Now each one of you 5 have one of the six Eco's is connected to you're body. Each one of you can activate it whenever you want, but most of you don't know how to activate it. Unfortunately the only thing we know is that the Eco runs strong in your body…But we're not sure which one belongs to who…And that's the reason for this camp. That also answers your question about why your brought here of all places." She had finished.
It was a lot I had to take in at that moment… Eco, Sages, Camp, five others. "Wait… If there are 5 of us and 6 Eco's… Wouldn't that mean someone over powers with either the Dark or Light Eco?" "That I am not sure of…But we'll find out as time progresses… But now I'm going to take you to your camp." She unlocked the shackles allowing them to fall to the ground and began walking closing the door behind us as I followed. We walked through the city until we reached the cars section…There were a lot of interesting cars here that I couldn't even explain…But we ended up in the cruiser we rode in on.
We flew off over the desert seeing some animals here and there, A few drivers driving around and just other Desert stuff. Finally we arrived at a blocked off wall near the ocean. "Where are we?" I had to ask. "This is a little whiles away from the Desert City…Here Jak fought many enemies with me, he fought a dark maker here also. His first time here was to save someone else in the desert. Here…Is camp." She said as the big door opened to a wide-open place.
If you can't guess where this is…Then you need to play Jak 3 again… It's the place with the lake, and Ashelin and Jak met there before being attacked by those marauders. He also fought a Dark Maker for a dark crystal here.
Well its been a little while since I've posted and I finally decided this part. Hope you enjoyed. =)
