Sake stared at the bright light in the night sky with fear. "So, how dangerous are the things on this ship?" Kaolinth frowned.
"I am unable to tell you that, for their existence is before even my time." he replied rather simply. "Speaking of time, my time is up." He looked towards a wall as a shadow approached them. Sake looked at the shadow, and back to where Kaolinth was standing, however, he wasn't there.
"Before his time?" She asked herself. "How old is this guy?" The owner of the shadow rounded the corner. It happened to be Damas.
"Sake, you're still up? It's only a few hours till sunrise." he stated while approaching her. "Also, who were you talking to?" She smiled halfheartedly.
"Myself." She snapped. Damas raised an eyebrow.
"Wow... it's kind of strange to carry on an entire conversation with yourself..." They both chuckled.
"Well... I guess I'll be heading off to bed now..." She went to her room, locking the door this time to keep from being kidnapped again. She also locked her window and put the the blinds down. Then, she stripped off her ruined clothes off, put on some clean ones, and layed down in her not-so-comfortable bed. Sleep came easy, despite the fact that her mind was riddled with unpleasant images.
She dreamed that night, about the large towering object rising from the sand of the desert and destroying everything. She awoke abruptly to some knocking on her door. It opened, and Jak gingerly stepped in, slightly smiling.
"Morning love." he put his hands on his side as she raised an eyebrow.
"Feeling okay?" She asked him. he chuckled.
"Yes, I'm just glad you're okay." he sat next to her, hugging her tightly. She rolled her eyes, then saw her torn and battered clothes on the floor.
"Hey... So... Errol's back, isn't he?" She nodded slowly. "Yeah... and he wants you dead so he can have me to himself." She shivered at the thought. A flashback of Prison appeared in her mind, but stopped when she saw Jak's smiling face.
"That's not surprising. But, I promise I won't let anything happened to you." he had been making alot of promises lately, But Sake knew he would keep to them.
"Well, I hope you keep your promises." She smiled, kissing him for a moment before Damas entered.
"Jak, Once you get back from Haven, I need you to assist me." Jak wondered what he could possibly need help with.
"Alright." He replied as Damas left. Sake had been getting dressed, and slid on her armour as Jak turned around to face her.
"We're going to Haven City now, aren't we?" Jak nodded to his lover and kissed her.
"If he tries to lay a hand on you, I'll kill him." Jak growled, escorting her out of the room. With a quick stroll through Spargus, they entered the Dune Buggy garage and left the city. There was an Air Train hovering in wait for them and they got on board, the machine taking flight the moment they were seated. The pilot was a Guard from the city asked to escort Jak to Haven City and back.
The ride was longer than expected, due to some turbulence. However, they safely landed in the port of Haven; the two climbing off as well as the pilot. Jak thanked him, and went on with business. Across the water, at the Ottsel, was Torn. He was waiting in front of the building for Jak patiently. So, to make the ride short and fun, the two whipped out their jet boards and hoevered gracefully over the water where Torn greeted them.
"Sake, it's good to see you're okay." Torn stated, but stopped the pleasantries immediately. "I've got some bad news. The Metal Heads are planning something, and we need you to infiltrate their Hive and investigate. I've sent several Scouts down." He leaned up against the bar after going inside, sipping idly on a drink.
"Um….. So, why send us in if there are Scouts?" Daxter asked angrily.
"Because, none of them have returned to tell us what the hell is going on." Torn growled, getting in the Ottsel's face. Daxter backed off as Sake popped him over the back of the head.
"What do you think is going on over there?" Sake propped herself on the bar top, crossing her legs and leaning back on one arm.
"Not sure, but overhead veiws of their Nest have reported very large concentrations of Dark Eco." Torn wasn't very happy about the current situation, and nither was the Trio of Troublemakers. "You'll have to get to the Metal head Next through the sewers however. They've blocked off the south end of their base with a thick wall." He showed them a map of the Port section with a bright green area outlined in red.
"Oh shit..." Sake rubbed her temples, getting a 'what's wrong?' look from everyone. "I left my weapons in Spargus..." She growled to herself. Torn used a thumb to point at the back wall.
"Take any of those you want." Sake's eyes went wide as she scurried over to the wall. She grabbed two gun enhancements that looked very promissing as killing weapons. They happaned to be Jak's favorites as well. So, with the brefing over, the two elves and Ottsel left the bar, gun ready in hands and smirks on their faces.
The port was in ruin however, from when the Palace was destroyed. Sake wondered what happaned while she was gone.
"So... Jak, how did all of this happen?" Shrinking her gun down to it's compact form, she slipped it into it's holster on her side. Daxter rode contently on her shoulder.
"Well, about 2 months after you left, Haven City finally got a proper government. A man named Vegar was in charge, and ordered that all survivors of the Dark Warrior Program be banished to the wasteland for being 'unnatural'." The blonde seemed to get very upset at this. "I was captured, and blamed for the Metal heads geting into the city because of our connections with Krew. Later, I was found by Damas in the wasteland, where I'm currently trying to become a resident of his city." Sake nodded, walking along side him towards the direction of the Sewers. "I finally found my way back into Haven City, via these underground 'railroads' built by the Precursors. Once I returned, I finally saw the devistation of Vegar. And with Errol back, things just got extremely hairy..." Sake restes her head on his shoulder as he wrapped a hand around her waist.
"Well, then we'll both just have to fight then." She smiled, the two stopping at the doors to the Sewers. They opened, a blast of ill scented air spilling out. With curled noses, the trio climbed aboard the elevator and rode it down. Another set of doors opened to reveal the sewer in all it's musty glory. The room they had arrived in was large, circular, and hallow except for the occasional echoeing sound of a drop of water hitting a distant pool feet below them. Sake wrinkled her nose, clamping it shut with her fingers. "Holy shit, this place stinks worse than before."
"That's because of all the dead bodies..." She pointed to the bodies of the scouts that were decaying and half eaten. Dried blood blanketed the walls in a stomach churning display of art.
"Well, that's morbidly disgusting..." Sake gasped, holding her gun close as Daxter jumped to Jak's shoulder.
"Let's just get over this..." The ottsels complained, gripping the shoulder armor with a vengence. And thus, their 'advnture into the bowels of the sewers began with an unpleasent fight with man Krimzon Guard robots which had been stationed in the Sewer's various routes to stop and invasions by intruders; metal head or otherwise.
Another ambush of robots, another turn into a dangerous area, another set of doors, and another elevator ride. Jak heard his communicator beeping so he whipped it out.
"Yes?" he sounded agitated.
"Jak, where are you now?" Asked the tattooed wonder on the other end.
"We just reached the hive." he replied, reloading his gun.
"Good, I'm putting Ashlein on the line to give you further details." Jak could hear Torn's unit being passed over to someone else due to the momentary dead air.
"Jak, ashlein here. We need you to destroy a cash of Dark Eco weapons we learned about in the Nest." With a quick reply, Jak hung up and the two went about their business.
There were 5 main crystals of Dark Eco spread about the nest on high spires. below them was a thick ooze that looked very deadly. Jak was able to bust up 2 while Sake got the other three. "Is it me, or are these missions getting too easy?" Sake inspected a shard of a crystal she had just broken as they came up on the shird and last one. Jak shrugged, approaching the much larger gem with caution.
Right as he was about to touch it, he saw an extremely bright flash of light and a jolt of pain filled his senses. "JAAAK!" He heard someone cry out. Then, he felt hands on his sides, and heard a pained scream.
Daxter stood back, watching in horror as the two were caught in a fury of Dark Eco lightning. He was frozen in fear, watching his two best friends have 12,000 volts of dark electricity surge through their shaking forms...
