Voltage's smile is like the Joker's in the comics (not the movie)
Also, the Jak and Daxter people are just going to be called humans. Not elves, not Precurians, not Denzians, just humans.
Jak and Damas's last name is Velanturi in this fic, not Mar. Whoever got that idea and convinced the people to change the names on the character selecting things has no power over me.
Speaking of the character selecting things, why can we select two characters, but not double genres? You can assign a fic two genres, but can only search for one.
This story is intended to be like a video game, so there will frequently be "boss fights" like this chapter, where Jak faces down against a single villain.
I'd add a disclaimer to this chapter, but we have an obnoxious amount of author's notes as it is.
Kreon smiled as Voltage walked up. Voltage was human. A long, long time ago. Unfortunately for him, he had crossed paths with Dr. Saserpov once. The good doctor had won their little fight, and performed hellish experiments on him. Now, Voltage had a robotic eye, various electricity-charged torture devices implanted into his body, a ton of scars, and a freakish love of torturing people. Kreon decided that Voltage was the best torturer they had, now that Saserpov was dead.
Jinx looked at Voltage. "If that ain't the ugliest face I've ever seen, then I'm Onin."
Voltage smiled, the permanent smile that Saserpov had attached to his face. "Master Kreon, what should I do to him?" His voice was twisted and robotic, yet a malicious glee at the thoughts of what he was about to do was evident in it.
"Force him to reveal everything he knows about Jak, and Haven City Security. Oh, and any defenses of Spargus as well."
Jinx gulped as long spikes extended from Voltage's arms, spikes humming with electricity.

Daxter was bored. Very bored. For the past half-hour, Dark Jak had been clinging to the top of the elevator, using his claws to keep himself attached to the ceiling. And unless someone walked in with the proper security clearance to get the Kreon's office, there they would stay. The Precursor wished that the invisibility extended to sounds as well, so that he could talk. But instead, he had nothing to do but stare at all of the people in the elevator.
A man with very pudgy cheeks came in, with an ugly suit. He made a bunch of gross sounds as he ate a sandwich. Pudgy Cheeks also made a huge mess, making the floor of the elevator dirty. Daxter couldn't resist whispering "Fatty" and making the poor man drop his sandwich, as he spun around, looking for whoever said that in an empty elevator. A tall, skinny woman with a ridiculous hairdo came in. Luckily, she was talking loudly on her cell phone, or else she would have noticed Daxter slowly sliding off Dark Jak, making small grunting sounds as he tried to get back onto him. Daxter's tail was a centimeter away from the tip of her hair, and he felt his paws slowly slipping off. As soon as he lost contact, he would become visible, right on the woman's head. Pudgy Cheeks was still eating the sandwich he had picked up off of the floor.
Luckily for Daxter, at that moment, a man came in, swiped his card through a special slot in the elevator, and hit the floor labeled "K". Dark Jak dropped down, landing on the man with the card, and ripping out his spine in one motion. The now visibly demon spun around, but did not need to kill the other two. The tall woman had fainted, and Pudgy Cheeks was choking on his sandwich. Dark Jak turned to leave, but then a voice spoke in his head.
You cannot possibly leave that innocent man to die there. I am taking over.
Daxter gasped as Dark Jak and Light Jak fought over who would take control of Jak's body, eventually resulting in Light Jak taking over, running to the choking man, and performing the Heimlich maneuver, dislodging the sandwich. Pudgy Cheeks looked up at Light Jak. "You're an angel. I'm dead."
No you are not dead. Now, fall to sleep, and you will forget this ever happened.
"Okay," said Pudgy Cheeks, and then he fell to sleep.
I didn't know you could do that, control people's minds.
I had no reason to tell you, Jak.
It seems wrong to be able to command people like that.
It is for the Greater Good.
You hear that, Jak? Light will do anything, no matter how horrible, as long as it benefits the greater good. I just kill a few people here and there, have fun, but don't try and manipulate wide scale events. Light may seem good, but he likes controlling people, enforcing his brand of Justice.
Once again, Jak wondered who was the better of his two other personalities. Unfortunately for him, he could do nothing but stare through Light Jak's eyes as he exited the elevator.

Kreon was displeased. Jinx, despite being forced to endure the worst tortures that Voltage could force him to endure, had not spilled any secrets. Jinx had been given a temporary break while Voltage plugged himself into the wall and recharged.
"I was one of the Dead Men, led by Jard Hasvane. We was captured by Praxis, he unleashed Saserpov on us. Once Antonine Saserpov has tortured ya, everythin' else practically tickles."
The CEO of Kreon Corp replied, "But you eventually broke to Saserpov, didn't you?"
"Aw sure, we all broke to AAAHH, that hurts! But what was I saying? Oh yeah, we all broke to Saserpov. He could torture like no one, force any secrets out, without killin'! Th' only one who died of torture before he gave anythin' away was Jard."
"I thought the Dead Men were all executed?"
"Well, I escaped, but the Underground kicked me out for tellin' Praxis everythin'. So I start'd workin' fer Krew, and eventually got back in the business of helpin' the Freedom League. "
"It looks like your help to them has come to an end, as Voltage has recharged."

The Guards of Kreon Corp wore suits similar to purple versions of the Krimzon guard suits. They charged towards Light Jak, but right before they got to him, he activated his shield, knocking them all out.
See Dark? There are ways to take out enemies in a non-lethal fashion.
OK, you two have been controlling my body long enough. I'm taking control again.
Light Jak transformed back into Normal Jak, who walked past all of the unconscious guards to the large door ahead. He swiped the card through a slot, and the door opened. A guard inside looked at Jak, and questioned "I thought it was Curley who was bringing the other torture equipment?"
Jak replied, "Curley doesn't have the spine to torture anyone."
On his shoulder, Daxter started laughing like crazy at the joke.
"I don't get it," said the guard, confused. Then Jak punched him in the nose, turning his face into a sea of red. Jak then darted past, running over to where he saw Jinx being tortured by a strange cyborg. Jak aimed a punch at the cyborg's head, but it was fast, faster than anyone Jak had ever seen. The cyborg punched Jak in the stomach, sending a huge shock through the human. Sure that sparks must be shooting out of the tips of his ears, Jak stood back up.
Daxter, having fallen off when Jak was punched, tried to look as dignified as he could with all of his hair sticking up from the shock. "I look like a puffball," he grumbled. Daxter then saw Jinx, lying in pain on the ground, the guards having abandoned him to attack Jak. "Don't worry cigar breath, I'll bust you outta here."
Jinx pointed his head at the fancily dressed man Daxter assumed was Kreon, and groaned out, "He has th' key." Jinx then collapsed unconscious.
"Oh boy, here I gotta go take out Mr. Fancy-Pants over there." With that, Daxter began sneaking toward Kreon.

It seemed impossible that anyone could be as fast as Voltage, but Jak was still unable to dodge his constant attacks. From the scars and implants, Jak assumed that Voltage was some sort of freakish experiment, a living weapon. The manic grin reminded Jak of a certain scientist, who he was sure had made Voltage as well. Jak felt sorry for his foe, for he too knew what it was like to be experimented on by Doctor Antonine Saserpov.
The other guards had been taken out easily. Jak used his signature spin-kicks and charging punches to knock them clean out, as Light Jak refused to let him kill the guards when not necessary. After Voltage got knocked down a flight of stairs (who honestly has a 2 story office, other than Melonius Kreon?), Jak took out the last couple normal guards. One charged at him, but Jak snatched the hand gun out of the guards hand, and, before the guard had time to react, he grabbed onto the railing and spun around, knocking the other guard out with his legs. Jak then took all of their ammo, loading the gun, and turned around a split second too late to be able to dodge Voltage's electro-whip.

Melonius Kreon, as he observed the fight, hoped that Jak would use his eco powers, specifically the Dark ones. He really did wish to see the work of his friends Saserpov and Errol, as Kreon knew they had experimented on Jak in the Baron's prison. Kreon was so busy watching Jak try to dodge the attacks of Voltage to notice Orange Lightning until a tiny orange fist collided with the side of his head. The wealthy villain went down, not used to having to endure pain.
"That's right; no one is a match for me. Now, give me the key to free my smelly-but-true friend over there."
"As you wish." Then Kreon threw the key, smiling as it hit that rodent in the face. This rodent was a weaker version of the Precursors, the corrupted versions of the true gods. For the true gods, they had not turned away from the darkness, and into the light.

You know it is only by me slowing time that you shall ever become fast enough to be able to defeat this deadly foe. You must allow me to take over again!
Fine.
Light Jak smashed his fists toward the ground, and for a moment in appeared that space had cracked. And then a bluish sheen covered everything, and time was slowed. Voltage was still moving fast, but normal fast, not his insane speed. Light Jak ran up and began to jab pressure points, hoping to take out the cyborg.
I feel sorry for the experiment, thought Jak.
Kill 'im Lighty!
Apparently, whatever hellish experiments Saserpov had performed on the cyborg prevented it from being affected by pressure points, as it was still attacking, slicing at Jak with a whip that had lightning dancing along it. Light Jak began tearing wires out of the robot parts, hoping to bring it down.
The electro-whip was too fast even for Light Jak to dodge with his slow time ability, and Light Jak was then on the ground, time having sped up again. Voltage was above him, the freakish smile still on his scarred face.
Light Jak punched the cyborg in the knee, and the half-robot monster tried to dodge, but one of the wires the Angelic Being had pulled out caused Voltage to fall over.
Looks like you hurt him.
Light Jak then punched Voltage in the face, and tried to rip out the cyborg eye. Voltage stabbed him in the leg, and then threw Light Jak through the air.

Daxter, having picked up the key, ran over to Jinx. As he ran, a laser smashed into the ground behind him. Kreon had hidden a gun, and was shooting at him! Daxter dove behind a pipe, listening to his attacker's mad ramblings.
"Foolish Precursor, pretending divinity. But the true gods are coming back, and when they get here, they will destroy you utterly and totally. It shall all be over. It shall, it shall!"
Daxter picked up a chunk of metal, ripped off of wherever it had come from during the battle, and threw it at the madman's head. Kreon went down, cursing at Daxter. Daxter ran closer to Jinx, and threw the key to him, hoping that he would pick it up. Suddenly, a very hard shoe collided into Daxter's side, and he went flying through the air.
"You shall die, for manipulating the words of the true gods!"
Light Jak crashed into the wall. He had injured the cybernetic freak, but he was not strong enough to take it out. Dark Jak was, but Light Jak tried to fight him. Eventually, Dark Jak took over. For a moment, Dark Jak had the same silver-blue sheen as Light Jak, and then he took his own form, dark eco lightning all around him.
"It's so beautiful," breathed Kreon, staring at the Dark Eco monster. "Antonine and Errol did their work well."
Daxter used that opportunity to run around Kreon, who pulled out the gun and prepared to shoot the ottsel, when suddenly the sound of a gun being loaded filled the room.
"Me an' you, we gotta bone ter pick." Jinx was on his feet, holding a gun from one of the guards, free from his bonds because of the key Daxter threw at him. Unfortunately, he was still weak from the torture, and missed the shot he had aimed at Kreon, who turned and fled. Jinx tried to catch him, but tripped, and fainted from the pain. Daxter looked over at Dark Jak, whose lightning had no apparent affect on Voltage, who appeared to be immune to pain.
Just die already, said Dark Jak as he sliced Voltage's flesh with his claws. Voltage was moving much slower than before, thanks to Light Jak, but it was still fast enough to punch Dark Jak back at least twenty feet. Dark Jak stood up, glad that he had the range. He then charged up Dark Strike, and unleashed the energy toward Voltage. With an explosion that sent enormous amounts of Voltage flying in all directions, the cyborg was blown out of the window, plummeting hundreds of stories to the ground at the bottom of the Tower. Nothing could have survived.
Jak, back in his normal form, turned around, looking for Kreon. The man was nowhere in sight, and Daxter informed Jak that he had ran off. Jak helped Jinx go down the elevator, and they snuck out of the building easily, due to the chaos as police investigated the body of the cyborg. They snuck into a large van-like car, which Daxter easily hijacked. With that, the Dynamic Duo and their friend drove off into the night of Kras City.
