I don't own Jak and Daxter; the title belongs to naughty dog. I own Commander Acheron and Haven. I WONT BE DOING ALL THE MISSIONS, BUT A LOT OF THEM. WELL THE ONES THAT STUCK OUT THE MOST TO ME ANYWAYS.
"Shit... that was a mercenary… we are gonna die Jak! She was a mercenary! A KG MERCENARY! ONCE THEY SET THEIR SIGHTS ON YOU YOURE DOOMED!" Daxter yelled and Jak rolled his eyes. "Yeah, whatever." Jak sighed and Daxter glared at him. "Buddy, you don't get it do you? Why do you think I saved you at that moment? My friend Taryn said their guard would be down at that exact moment because their general, AKA the mercenary would be searching for her. When a mercenary is after someone they always die. Taryn is dead Jak, that mercenary killed her. We have to avoid her at all costs." Daxter explained and Jak nodded.
"Alright, but she knows where we are going, how do you figure?" Jak asked. Daxter went cross eyed for a moment then shrugged. "I dunno I kinda sorta figured you would." Daxter said and Jak face palmed, his friend was stupid at times.
Jak frowned and grudgingly looked around for a zoomer to use, but torn didn't have any nearby so he jumped up, grabbed one mid-flight, pulled the person off of it and pulled himself up onto it. Daxter shook his head. "You have this thing about stealing now don't you?" he asked and Jak humphed in response.
They sped through the city, Jak switching flight zones and nearly hitting a KG which made Daxter roll his eyes. They sped into a dead end and Daxter was about to scream when the zoomer came within five feet of the wall. Jak grabbed Daxter and jumped off the zoomer; it crashed and exploded when it hit the wall.
"What the heck man! You trying to kill me?" Daxter yelled and Jak shrugged. "Bring that zoomer over here; we can go back to the underground with that one." Jak said and his eyes narrowed at the blue and black zoomer with the baron's logo on the front side of it. "Let's just go." Jak huffed then strode silently through the gates. They made their way to the baron's flag at the top of the ruined tower and snatched it with a smug look. But that look vanished once the ground beneath them began to crumble. After the platform fell Jak managed to remain standing long enough for torn to look up behind Jak and see the building collapse. "I guess you guys are in..." torn said then turned to leave almost instantaneously.
Once he was gone Jak had a bad feeling so he looked around, thinking there was a metal head or something about to attack them. He turned around and was face to face with the mercenary from before. "What are you and the underground leader doing out here?" she asked, placing an armored hand on her hip. "Sight seeing, why else? " Jak said sarcastically. She released a small caustic laugh from between her tightly pursed lips.
Jak narrowed his eyes at her as she circled the duo. "If you know who the underground leader is, then why work for the baron? Reassurance to your job? Infiltration? What?" Jak asked, annoyed with the games the mercenary was playing.
"I have my reasons, and those reasons will not be revealed to the likes of you.." she said and turned to leave, but Jak felt the dark eco pulsate with his annoyance and anger so he gave into it and shoved the mercenary against the ground, his eyes fading to black, fingernails turning into needlelike claws, hair paling to a pale white, and small devilish horns broke through the skin of his scalp and with a sickening pop, they grew out and became visible over his thick hair.
A wicked grin spread across her face and her skin grayed. "I can do that too you see, we aren't that different after all jakky boy." She said and wings made purely of dark eco sprung from her back and they had a dragon-like appearance to them, her barely visible red hair turned white starting from the tips, her fingernails turned into claws sharper than jak's own, horns sprouted from her skull as well but they were longer and sharper. She looked a lot like him, but different at the same time, she had full control of her darker side.
She lifted dark Jak up by the throat and grinned wickedly, the only visible part of her face haunting Daxter with the wicked grin that adorned it. "You think you know more about dark eco than anyone, don't you jakky boy? Sorry to say though, sweetheart, but dark eco is my thing, I heard about what you did to gol and Maia, and it doesn't surprise me, but let me tell you somethin' honey bunch, dark eco don't make everyone insane. Think of their younger sister haven, they threw her in the eco. It didn't turn her into a monster like it did us, now did it? It didn't make her like your little rat friend, now did it? " commander Acheron asked.
Jak shook his head and he turned back to normal. "Commander Acheron! Where are you?" Errol's voice echoed throughout the desolate wastelands that were called the dead town. Jak opened his eyes and in an instant the demonic mercenary that held him looked somewhat normal. Dark eco sparked off of her as she walked away.
"I must go boys…but one more thing. Watch your back some people out there want you deader than dead, as if you haven't already noticed." She laughed caustically then walked away, and held a hand out as a metal head flew at her and with a spark of dark eco the thing was fried. Daxter's jaw dropped and he looked at Jak and they exchanged confused looks.
They both watched as she made her way to the gates and walked out. Jak walked out and looked around, she was nowhere to be seen, and the baron's zoomer was gone. Jak strode right past the zoomer he had made Daxter grab an hour earlier, and Daxter sighed and looked at his friends back.
He ran on all fours beside Jak, he couldn't be too sure that Jak wouldn't pick a fight with a krimzon guard because he was irritated with that obnoxious woman. Jak stormed into the underground and glared at torn with his arms crossed. "who is the mercenary general, whatever the heck she is." Jak growled and torn sneered at him.
"Just who do you think you are?" he snapped. "what he means is, we saw general Acheron, and she seems to know exactly who you are, what we are doing, and stuff like that, tall, dark and gruesome here went all dark Jak on her and she turned the tables real quick like. She was all like dodge, grab, SLAM! And jakky boy here was down for the count!" Daxter said as if he cheered against his best friend, who gave him a dark look.
"turn the water back on to the slums then we will discuss the whole general/mercenary problem. If you survive, that is." Torn growled. Daxter glared at torn and pointed a finger right in his face. " You know what tattooed wonder, why do we get all the crappy missions? Huh?" he snapped and torn sneered at him. And repeatedly jabbed him in the chest. "Because I. don't. like. You!" he snapped and they left.

Jak and Daxter walked up to the valve and Daxter cracked his knuckles and tried to turn the valve but failed. Jak barely even hit the pipe and it sucked in Daxter. He heard his friend hit every bend in the pipes and he flinched each time Daxter hit one, that sounded like it actually may have hurt. Jak frowned and jumped down from where the valve was and made his way to the other side of the pipes.
As he approached the pipe a metal head jumped out at him and tried to sink its jaws into his neck, but Jak grabbed it by the jaws and shoved his hand into its skull to get the skull gem then it dropped to the ground and dissolved into chunks of dark eco that trailed to his body and absorbed into his skin. He shook his head at the feeling of the unreleased eco pooling within him, but approached the second valve and turned it. Daxter's head squished from the nozzle and soon after his body followed.
Daxter dusted himself off then looked up at Jak and pointed an accusing finger at him. " Don't laugh! Not even a chuckle! next time, you turn the valve!" Daxter growled then he backed away from Jak, pointing to something behind the emerald blonde. "j-j-j-j-JAK!" Daxter yelled and Jak turned and from the corner of his eyes, saw a large widow maker about to strike him but it slumped over and behind it he saw general Acheron. She retracted the wrist blade then placed two fingers on the dead metal head and it dissolved. She placed her hand on her hip and frowned at them, Jak narrowed his eyes at the woman. "Why do I keep running into you two everywhere I go, it's quite annoying.." she said with a cocky smirk. "surely babe, it because you miss me whenever you are away." Daxter said while leaning against jak's head and neck. She smirked and pressed a gloved hand to her lips. " what a cocky little ottsel. You think you're so cute don't you?" she asked Daxter and he shook his head.
Daxter shook his head and grinned. "I aint cute, im sexy babe, sexy. Try to get it right sometime, I will prove it to you once I get my body back." Daxter said with a wink. She placed a hand on her hip and rubbed the bridge on her5 nose. " sure sure cute thang, see ya around I gotta go." She said then turned to leave, jak and Daxter followed her out and she was already on her zoomer by the time they got out there.
Jak looked at the engine of his zoomer and saw a shiny piece of metal jammed deeply within the engine. He gently brushed his fingers over its surface when he heard the engine of her hellcat, so he turned around. She turned her zoomer around and frowned at them. " Sorry boys, couldn't have you follow me, my next job is nearby, and you could blow my cover." She said and flew off after she hit a button and Daxter turned towards Jak. The piece of metal exploded and Jak got caught within the blast.
