Me:*grins and holds microphone*
I got a great idea to start a show! It's called "Hosting the story!"
Audience:*applauses*
Me:*smiles at camera*So we're at next chapter!*looks at crowd* It's chapter 8 now, correct?
Audience: *nods, yells, claps and whistles*
Me: *nods laughing* Woot woot! Since I've been talking way too much….let's start! First we need a volunteer to say the disclaimer!
Audience: *hands shoot up and people stand*
Me: *points at a person sitting and smiling*
Girl: Niomi does not own Jak and Daxter or any of its characters. Only her characters are hers!
Me:*claps and smiles at you through camera* Next time maybe one of you can host the show with me! Just request your name and we'll put you in for one of the chapters for the story!
Enjoy!
I walked with Sig down the path to the Wasteland with my goggles on my face but my mind thinking about my dream. That's all I could think about.
"Ki, you there?" I blinked and looked up at my older brother quickly snapping out of my thoughts.
"Huh?" Sig rose a brow and I sighed some, stopping in the sand. I thought about it. Maybe he'd understand. But then again…It could have very well been him to sell me out.
"Sis?" Snapping my attention to Sig through my goggles I saw his face was a bit concerned as he stood in front of me. He frowned more at my wider eyes shaking his head, "What's up, lil mama?"
"Nothing. Just…" I stood there for a moment and then shaking my head I walked on, "It's been a long day. Didn't get much sleep last night."
Sig nodded, following me easily but his face read he didn't believe me.
"Sad considering your day just started," he said, putting a hand on his Peacemaker. I rolled my eyes at him, crossing my arms.
"Tell me about it," I muttered, looking at the Metal Heads a bit away from us. Sig looked at me before he sighed.
"If you need to talk, I'm all ears," he said with a smile. I nodded smiling up at him.
"I know. I'm fine really. I just wanna kick some ass," I said simply. Sig smirked as we started to attack.
I sat back on the KG Hover Car that I was supposed to fix breathing heavily, sitting in the sand without a care. We had to fight off a lot of Metal Heads before we even got to the Hover Car at all, and even then there were a ton more just waiting.
Sig plopped down next to me and looked at me with an exhausted smile.
"Looks like you can kick a lot of butt, Sis," he said with a nod. I grinned and sat up so I could crawl over to the hood.
"Yeah but that was only half of the job," I grunted opening the hood.
I looked around and studied it before grabbing the pouch on my side.
"This is the real mission," I finished before pulling my goggles on. Sig watched me with interest as I fixed up the Hover Car like it was second nature. Looking over I rolled my eyes seeing Metal Heads coming up fast.
"I don't have time for-!" I cut off blinking when Sig was standing in front of me. He glanced over his shoulder and nodded.
"You get that thing runnin', I'll watch your back." I nodded going back to work quickly and he guarded me as Metal Heads came more and more. I slammed the hood down and jumped in the driver's side.
Humming I started pressing the correct buttons, pressing the key ignition in before starting the Hover Car. It jolted coming to life and soon it was hovering in the air. I grinned and looked over the side at Sig.
"Sig, Let's go!" I hollered. My brother nodded climbing in and I began to go up in the air, my hand on the control leaver and I focused. Being in the KG Hover Car was a lot like being a pilot in the jet. It took focus, lots of reading of the screens, and more buttons than necessary.
To sum it up there was a leaver, not a wheel.
"We've got company!" My green eyes looked over the side of the car to see Metalheads running after us in swarms. It was madness how many there were just on the outside of the city. I shook my head gripping the leaver just as I saw a flying Metal Head coming at us.
"Hold on!" I jolted left, the hover car flipping upside down and quickly headed back towards the walls to Haven, all the the while ignoring my screaming brother.
"Learn how to drive, girl!" Glaring I looked in the rearview mirror to see they flying Metalheads had friends.
Avoiding as many as possible as they flew at us I tried to lose them, while flying easily.
"I'm a good damn driver okay!"
"Like hell you are!" I started smacking Sig while he shot his Peacemaker at the Metalheads and my green eyes glancing between him and flying.
"If I were a bad driver we'd be dead!"
"Shut up and drive!"
"Sig!" I yelled swooping down. I avoided all the flying Metal Heads but they wouldn't give up forcing me to take matters into my own hands.
Decoy.
I cursed and pulled my brother to the driver's side, "Take the wheel! And whatever you do keep going!" I demanded. He nodded and we switched spots before I turned and jumped on the back of the hover car.
I wasn't expecting him to take any sharp turns though as it suddenly went left and I flew, nearly falling off. I yelled out, my hand latching onto the side at the last moment and I cursed when my figures started to slip.
"Damn.." I let go on purpose and Sig yelled at me before disappearing over the side of the wall.
To say I landed painfully was an understatement. I didn't move for a moment when my body met the sandy ground but soon I hauled myself up to my feet, breathing heavily.
I looked around me and saw Metal Heads closing in before I ran to the gate entry. I knew they were behind me when I jumped through the doors but I wasn't lookin.
I landed face first and attempted to catch my breath as I looked behind me and saw the door had shut, causing me to decontaminate.
Reaching a shaky hand up to my goggles, I looped them on my head and walked out of the doors when they opened revealing the Slums part of the city.
It wasn't worth going to deal with Krew and Sig, even if it was a gun upgrade.
Turning I headed for the Underground.
I walked down the alley just as Jak was coming out of HQ and Dax grinned while Jak stared at his feet. I blinked and stood in front of him with my arms crossed, frowning.
"Well I missed you too, Jak," I said raising an eyebrow. Jak stopped and looked at me before shaking his head.
"Kida!" he said breaking into a smile.
I nodded laughing some, "Yeah. Who did you think it was?"
Daxter rolled his eyes while Jak just looked away. That's when I stopped. Who did he think it was? I frowned some putting a hand on Jak's shoulder.
"Are you alright? Did something happen?" I asked worriedly.
Jak just shook his head as Dax landed on my shoulder.
"I think old Jak here is just getting tired of waiting," Daxter said crossing his arms. I looked at Jak and he had a deep frown.
"I'm just tired of being in the stupid hell hole!"
I jumped just as Daxter did and I moved my hand off of him instantly as he sparked purple. We both stared at him but he just brushed past us, his gaze set and tone sharp.
"I want to go back where we came from. Back to our world."
I watched him with a saddened expression and Dax sighed softly, "I told you he was tired. He just needs a good pep talk…"
I nodded but didn't say anything. That was because a part of me really didn't believe that was all that was wrong. I believed him. He missed his old home sure…but what if that wasn't all that he missed. Like Samos, the old village citizens….
'Keira…' I watched as Jak got the Zoomer ready and Daxter climbed on his shoulder but I stayed a safe ways away from them both across from the Zoomer.
"Where is Torn sending you this time?" I asked hesitantly. Jak blinked and looked down at me before sighing softly.
"I didn't mean to yell at you," he said quietly. I shook my head and Jak held out his hand to help me on. Staring at it for a moment my green eyes read doubt but I took it anyways, letting him pull me on the back of it.
I climbed behind him and he started off back towards the place where the remains of The Ruin Tower we knocked down were.
"Torn asked us to go to that sacred site that The Shadow needs to protect and take out the Metal Heads there," Jak explained.
I nodded climbing off as we landed on the outside of the doors and pulled my goggles on my eyes, "Alright then, let's get started."
It didn't take long really to get to the place Torn had put on Jak's communicator. We had to go through some Metal Heads, destroying the ones Torn told us too. After we fought many Metal Heads and climbed up the hill, ending up in front of a hut.
I fell at the top of the hill pulling my goggles down, and Daxter fell on my back, "Jeez! I hope that's all of them!" I glared rolling over to look at him.
"You didn't do anything!" I shouted. Jak came behind us and pulled me to my feet with a smile.
"You did good," he said.
I nodded, "So did you."
He smirked shaking his head and we all looked at the building only to stop. I blinked repeatedly before shaking my head.
"It can't be," I breathed.
Jak was staring as Daxter put his hands in his hair, "Is that…! Is that-! No it couldn't be!"
I took a step forwards shaking my head, "It's-"
"Samos' hut," Jak said softly. I turned around and looked at him with confusion and Daxter landed on my shoulder shaking his head.
"But what? How! When! Where! Why!"
Jak looked back at the hut as if it was all piecing together.
"We're in the future, Dax…" Daxter and I looked at him as he continued and my heart sunk at his words, "This horrible place…is…our world."
Audience:* gasps at story*
Me: Yep yep! So that's how it happened then! *smiles at the camera* It was sad writing the ending but it was meant to be! There was no other way! I wish I could have avoided it but…that would be no fun! Ha! *winks at you holding out a finger* So….*lights dim down and dramatic music starts* What do you guys at home think is wrong with Jak? Is he really just tired of everything and wants to go back to his world? (Even though his already in it) Or is it something else? Like Kida said.
*smiles brightly and lights come back to normal with fast music* Well we'll find out on the next chapter to…!
Audience: Confused Hearts and Tuff Friendships!*claps and yells as ending music starts*
Me: *nods waving* You read it here folks! Join the show next time and don't forget to review! Bye guys!
