Slowly, his eyes opened. His gaze locked with the blue eyes looking down on him. His head hurt, but not nrealy as much as his left leg did. Slowly, his vision began to focus.
"Never thought I'd have to save you again..." Said a soft voice that rand like crystal bell through his elven ears. It sounded so sweet and serene.
"Guess so..." he replied lazily, still dazed. Once his vison cleared completely, he was able to make out the face looking down at him. "So, Sake... How long have I been out?" His head pounded with pain when he tried to sit up, and now the pain in his left leg was so much, that it didnt even seem to be there anymore.
"I'd say about two days. Damas is pretty upset..." She commented with a beaming smile. "He'll live." He nodded to her, then sat up. As soon as he sat up, the pain in his head became greater.
"I've gotta go to the Monk Temple." He stated flatly, catching himself on the edge of the bed to keep from falling over. His breaths were soming in short bursts, making it hard to breathe. She simply glared at him while coming closer. With a sturdy arm, she pushed him softly back down onto the small bed.
"Not with your broken leg..." So that's why his leg hurt... Memories of his fight flodded his head. He felt it all. The sand against his skin, the sting of the cold metal as the whip from the Sattilite connected with his skin. Everything, including the pain when his leg slammed up against a tree.
"Awww f-" he hissed, slamming his hand into his forehead, which only made it hurt more.
"Luckily, the monks used some Green Eco to heal your bones..." She said, padding the makeshift splint tied to his leg. It was only a simple piece of wood bound with thin rope. He stared at her, confused.
"If they healed my leg, then why can't I fight?" he quipped angrily waking the small ball of fuzz which layed peacefully asleep next to him.
"HeyCan't you two keep it down! An ottsel needs his beauty sleep..." The weary ottsel raised an arm while speaking, then dropped it, instantly passing out again. the two young lovers nodded to themselves.
"Well, that Eco only speeds up the healing process." She sat next to him on the bed. "Give it another day..." She said, leaning over. She kissed him quickly on the lips before getting up to leave the room.She entered the hall way, passed 3 doors, and entered a small room. No larger then a hotel room, but big enough for the basics. A small bed layed up against the far wall; the sheets tossed lazily to one side. A windo, just above the bed, over looked the sunset on the ocean. To the right, rested a small night stand with a lit lamp, which illuminated the mirror it stood in front of. This was the only way to light up the room because electricity was expensive. Slowly, she removed her armor, and dropped it on the floor next to her by the door. It had to weight several pounds because it made a heavy clunking sound when it hit the wooden floor. She grabbed a change of clothes from a drawer in the night stand and left the room. She went into the Girls' Bathhouse, which was the only place a woman could get clean after a long day of killing stuff. There was only one problem: The Bathhouse was public to all female citizens of Spargus. The only saving grace was that there were curtains in front of each make shift shower stall.
After a quick, but very refreshing shower, she changed and went back to her room, where she found Jak laying on her bed, looking sexier than ever. "I thought I told you to stay off that leg..." She half smiled while resting her hands on her hips. He smiled back.
"No, you told me not to fight." He said in a matter-of-factly type voice. He winked and she sighed heavily to his reply. "I have a point, do I not?" She nodded.
"You win this time...But you really shouldn't be walking around. Espcially if you want that leg to heal..." She commented, walking closer to him. She moved different from before. Her walk seemed more seductive than before, and Jak took note of this.
"So what your saying is you want me to be a vegatable for the next 24 hours..." he said, their faces only mere inches from each others. She nodded, making him fake groan.
"Besides... I'm sure being in here with me is alot more interesting than fighting some paled faced monk people..." Slowly, she straddeled him. She bent forward, kissing him passinatly on the lips. He returned the kiss, closing his eyes while resting his hands on her waist.
Time seemed to slow to a crawl and only they existed. It was like this world was meant for them and them only. She moaned, parting for a moment. The light from the lamp shined into their eyes, and it seemed for just a moment that they glowed.
That noise... What was it? They both ignored the familiar sound of knocking until the door opened. A stout man with silver hair bound in dreadlocks stepped in. His muscular body had been clad in heavy armor which shined dully in the lamp light. "Jak I-" He stopped, staring ay the scene for a moment. His finest warrior was making out with a girl when he should have been resting.
Both of their heads turned in an instant. Then, at once, they turned bright red with embarrasment. A small creature leapt up next to them, smiling wide. "I knew I shouldn't have left you two alone..." He smirked.
"Jak, Sake, what in the hell are you two doing?" Damas hissed. "You should be resting for the days ahead, not playing with each other!" Jak glared at Damas, then crawled off of the bed after Sake got off of him. he grabbed the crutches on the floor and hobbled out of the room. Daxter followed, commenting on their moment. Damas glared at Sake, feeling a strong disliking towards her.
Fatigue and restlessness had taken it's toll. She plopped back down onto the bed, passing out as soon as she hit the pillow. She wasnt looking fowards to this next
mission at all.
The sun peeked in through the small window over her bed, washing its rays over the sleeping girl's face. It woke her gently. "God my head hurts..." She sat up while covering her eyes with her hands. "It's morning already?" She moaned gruffly before looking at the door when she heard knocking. "It's open."and Jak and Daxter entered.
"Morning!" Jak said rather cheerfully. He no longer had the splint on his leg and was walking around like it was never broken.
"Gimme a few minutes to wake up..." The sheet on the bed was coiled around her legs and body and her hair was wild and natted. Tlak about a serious case of bed head.
"Well, I've already got Kleiver preparing the Dune Hopper. It only took the king of Spargus to do his job." They both laughed, but the small ottsel stopped them.
"Can we just get this mission over?" He griped rather angrily. 'Golden Boy here had to wake me up... and I was having a good dream too!" Sake rolled her eyes at his antics.
"It you say so..." She smiled while crawling out of the bed. She brushed her hair, making it semi-straight, then clipped on her armor. She yawned yet again. The three left and headed through the city of Spargus to the Buggy pen where all of the city's buggies were kept when not in use. They all climbed into an awkward looking one with the front wheels out on two movable frame pieces. It also had very strong shocks and hydraulics, which made it capable of jumpng the way it did. After a quick, and annoying ride through the Marauder infester desert, they arrived at the chain of islands that lead to the Precursor Monk Temple. A few precisely timed jumpes, rough bumps, and several screams, they pulled safely up to a wooden frame which acted as a wall between the buggy and the temple entrance.
"I don't like this place... It gives me the creeps!" Daxter shivered, rubbing his furry arms. His high voice echoed off of the stone walls surrounding them. The two elves gave each pther a 'ready' look and went in.
Slowly, the doors slid open to reveal their next obstacle. The temple had been inlayed into a mountain, which wasnt veiwable from the outside. Both of them looked up; their jaws dropping in an instant.
"Ain't a snowballs chance in hell your getting me up that..." Sake said, still staring up. Jak began to walk towards a stone pedastal that led to a drapery. He could use the cloth like a trampoline to launch himself up to a visibly higher platform.
"Fine. Stay here." He gave her a wink. She stuck her toungue out at him. "Daxter and I get to have all of the fun."
"You know why I don't do heights!" He gave her a nod. "Well, I'll wait. You better come back alive, you hear?" he nodded and began to climb up the ledges.
While waiting, she decided to poke at a fire that had been lit in a stone cup near her. It was the only thing to do and there was nothing to use as target practice. then the idea of exploration dawned on her. She looked towards an offly shaped white orb that floated mysteriously above several holes in the ground. She approached it, but something was weird about it. It seemed to be watching her every move.
She was about to step over one of the holes, when in an instant, a large spike jutted out of it, sraping the tip of her armored boot. "Woah!" She sighed, glad that she hadn't actually gone into there. "I don't think jak wants a shiscabob for a girlfriend..."She laughed to herself. Then she looked back up towards the top of the tower as heard a loud scream.
"JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKKKKK!" Came a loud cry. She knew it was Daxter who was screaming. With no way to reach the top, she had no way of telling if they were okay or not. Worriedly, she sat down on the ground waiting for their safe return.
An hour passed and they hadnt returned. Then another and another. Using the sun, she could tell that they had been gone for at least 15 hours. Fear of his death was taking it's toll on her nerves, making her pace/ It was getting dark and cold. She wasn't dressed right to survive the desert night. Then, a purple spark of lighting flashed. She only saw it from the corner of her eye.
She scanned the room for anything that could have caused it. Soon, the source was found; A glowing statue, remsembling that of a precursor robot she had seen in the first game, stood just inside a small alcove. Curiosity got the better of her, and she just had to find out what it was. Slowly, she placed a hand on it, felling the cold metal against her skin. Upon contact, she felt an extreme pain rush over her. Her legs became weak, and her vision faded. She tried to pull her hand back, but it wouldnt budge.
