Wow, this chapter is over 3300 words, not including author's comments! I just started writing... and couldn't stop... -dies- Anyway, the missions in this one are kinda quick and i'll tell you why: 1: it gets boring reading(or hearing) the same thing you've already read(or heard). and 2: because I'm just too damned lazy to boot my PS2 up and play XD; So, if I get any comments about the dialog, I'll just say this now: GET OVER IT and have a nice day:D
The next day came earlier than Sake would have wished, but none-the-less, She had to get out of bed anyway. Jak also reluctantly got out. The black-haired elf was able to walk with no problem now thanks to the fact that her body was at full strength. She got her amor on over her clothes and went into the main room of the Ottsel. There was a hobo passed out in one of the booths, but other than him, the place was dead empty. Jinx came strolling in arrying a clunky controller like device. An evil grin was plastered on his unshaved mug. "Hey Jakkie-Boy..." He stopped and stared lustily at Sake. It was obvious what was going through his mind. Jak noted his look and glared. Sake looked disgusted. She wouldn't climb into bed with him even if her life depended on it. If she was going to make love to anyone, it was going to be Jak and Jak only.
"Morning Jinx." Jak smirked casually and sat at the bar, acting as if his gaze at Sake didn't bother him. Daxter climbed up onto the counter, but the smell and smoke of Jinx's Black Cherry cigar caused him to pass out.
"Yo, Goldeylocks, lookit this." He showed off the device in his hands as he puffed on his cigar. "I hotwired a KG Blast Bot. Now, we just need someone to pilot that baby right into KG defenses." Jak was about to take the controller when Sake snatched it up.
"I'll be the pilot thank you very much. We all know I'm better with anything that involves a controller." Jinx smirked and glanced her way again.
"Bet you're good with Jak's too." Sake was getting mad now.
"Say ONE MORE THING..." She started, but Jak shooshed her before she got herself in trouble. Jinx simply laughed out loud at Sake's threat.
"Oh, and toots, you'll need this. Its a Virtual helmet. So you can see what the Blast Bot sees." She put it on then activated it. The Blast Bot booted up, ran dignostics, and she began to steer it forward. Her finger was moving like lightning on the buttons and joysticks as the powered through the familiar areas of haven. The opposers didn't stand a chance against the Blast Bot's weaponry. By the time she reached the gate, everything behind her was dead or wounded, except for the soldiers who were defending her rear and sides. The barrier came into view. There were two other blast bots, but they were taken out with high velocity nukes. She now had a clear path for the gate and took her oppourtunity to slam into it, activating the robots Self Destruct sequence. The Bot exploded into a firey fury, completely obliterating the defenses. The signal on the visor went dead as Sake removed it.
Torn had just entered the room as the bot exploded. He had been watching from a remote transmiter. "Great work Sake! You've gotten us deeper into KG territory!" he gave her a quick pat on the back. And of course, the ego kicked in.
"And my mother said too many hours of sitting in front of the TV and playing video games was bad for me." She boasted, taking on a victory pose. "#1 on my block baby." If she was a balloon, she would have exploded from the amount of egotistic air she was filled with. Jak laughed and brought her back down to earth before she floated into Space.
"Thats enough boasting for one day love." She gave him a fake death glare.
"Hey, I didn't see YOU piloting that thing..."
"Well, I WOULD have if you hadn't snatched the controller." He fake glared right back. Torn rolled his eyes.
"Do I have to seperate you two!" Sake and Jak shook their heads.
"Nope, we're just messing with each other, right love?" Sake nodded, then hugged Jak around the waist and kissed him for a moment. Torn again rolled his eyes.
"Look, we finally have a clear path up north. Just grab a zoomer and take it through the city. Most of the fighting is on the ground so a zoomer is the safest route." The two love birds immediatly put on their game faces, grabbed Daxter, who had woken up a few minutes ago, and sped out of the Ottsel. They found a zoomer easily and took off. Alot of the zoomers were removed from the hands of the civilians and used in the war effort. All of the other ones were upgraded to be faster and more efficient.
As they drove over the chaos and mayhem, Jak looked at Sake, who sat behind him with her arms around his waist. "Sake," Their eyes met. "Sorry for dragging you into this mess. I hoped that if you returned, we could live happily somewhere." Sake was smiling, despite the sorrow she felt because of the war they had supposedly started.
"Jak, I would have gotten involved of my own free will, even if you told me not to. I love you, and I couldn't live with myself if something happaned to you when I could have done something about it." She yelled back to him over the sounds of screams and explosions. She gripped him tightly as he took a very sharp turn. They were now in the safer region of Haven City. It was highly guarded by several platoons of Freedom League fighters. A very tall tower was visible above everything, That was their destination.
As Jak pulled to a stop, a guard in Dark Blue armor approached them. "Sir," he saluted. "We've been expecting you. the Leuitenant is waiting for you at the top of the elevator." he scooted aside and saluted again as Jak and Sake passed him. The doors at the base of the tower opened to reveal an elevator which went to the top at a steady pace. Ashlein was waiting at the top and began to give orders in a moment's notice.
"Jak, Sake, our scanners are picking up a massive attack wave moving in from the KG Warfactory. I need you two to go out there and stop it before they stop us." Daxter tried to start one of his 'heroic' stories, but Ashlein stopped him dead in his tracks. "Grab a gun and get your asses down there. We can't lose this one." Sake rather enjoyed the 'warm' welcome. She thought Ashein was an even bigger bitch than ever. Unwillingly, she pulled out her gun, attahced the Arc Weilder upgrade(which she had conviently 'borrowed' from the Ottsel) and got back onto the elevator. Jak prepared his Beam Reflexor and got on as well. Daxter was cursing Ashlein heavily under his breath during the entire elevator ride back down. The attack had already begun as they reached the bottom. A fury of gunfire went every which way, most of it coming from Jak and Sake.
'Sake, take the east flank while I cover the west!" Jak ordered and the pair split up. She took off into the eastern sector of New haven, eleminating whatever KG she found. As she was attacking a wave of UB 86's, one snuck up behind her. It charged its guns and shot her straight in the back. She stumbled forward, blood gushing from her back as shards of Precursor metal lodged themselves into her flesh. She got some cover fire as a few troops hauled her back to headquarters for treatment. Jak was forced to stop the invasion himself since the FLG couldn't fight to save their own lives.
Sooner or later, the blonde haired elf entered the HQ Sick Bay and stood at Sake's bedside. She was hunched over, sitting up with the back part of her shirt puller over her head. Medics were removing shards of metal from her back. Every now and then, she would scream or yelp as one was pulled. She was given some Green Eco and sent on her way once it was all removed. "I'll have to go back to Spargus and get some new armor." Jak nodded, lifting her chest plate off of the floor next to her to inspect it.
"What the hell shot you?" He noted that the metal along the edges was superheated then sheered off.
"One of those stupid rolling things. At Point Blank." The armor she had left wouldn't protect her, and her chest plate was nlonger wearable. She looked past Jak and saw Ashlein approaching.
"Jak, I need you to go down into the sewers and activate a switch for me. Its the only way to unlock the door to the old Power Station. Vin has some information in his computers on how to decypher the keycodes to that Warfactory." Jak gave her a quick nod and Sake a quick glance.
"Jak, you go to the sewers. I gotta go to Spargus and get some new armor, I'll catch up with you in the Power Station, Okay?" She said it so quickly, that the hero had no time to retaliate. When he did get a chance to speak, she stopped him by kissing and taking off. Daxter, who stood on his shoulder, shrugged. The duo took off for the sewers, which were still crawling with Metal heads and KG. Ashlein eyed Jak deviously as he left to take care of buisness. She had plans for him...
Hours and 700 rounds of ammo later, the two met as planned at the Power Station. Sake was wearing a new, sleek set of armor. Most of it was leather made from Metal Head hide and the rest was a combination of Metal head bone, mask metal and Precursor Metal. It was a strong combination, and very sturdy. Despite being new to her, it already had battle scars on it. Sake explained that Seem said it belonged to Mar's wife when she went into war with him 3000 years ago. He found it ironic that the monks somehow managed to find BOTH sets of Armor for them to wear. He also found it strange that the armor was a perfect fit...
"So, you first m'love." Sake urged Jak into the Power Station and he did as told. The blonde sauntered in, inspecting the once familiar area.
"I miss Vin. He was cool. A bit crazy though." Jak commented as he began to crack into the computer's security programs.
"Who you callin' crazy!" A voice called.
"VIN!" The Trio of troublemakers yelled gleefully. "Um, where are you?" Jak raised an eyebrow.
"I'm here." A smiling hologram appeared in the middle of the room, as is suspended on strings. It was a digital recreation of the babbling scientist. "Right before the metal heads attatcked, I downloaded my brain into this computer. I've been wondering around in here ever since!" He was quite excited to see them.
"Vin, Its good to see that you're... alive, but we have more pressing matters right now." Vin's hologram raised an eyebrow.
"What can I do ya' for?"
"We need the codes to get into the Warfactory." Jak looked around the room for a few, then went back to looking at VIn.
"Oh you just had to ask for those, didn't you?" His voice shook slightly with fear and annoyance. "We bitbots would get eaten trying to go near those. They're highly defended. Not to mention, if they lose any data, they just recover it." he said in a matter-of-factly voice.
"Well, can't one of us go in there and do it?" Sake asked. Vin's hologram shrugged.
"I might be able to download one of you, but It'll have to be someone small." Jak and Sake eyed Daxter, who glared at them.
"OH, FINE! I'll go in there and get the codes!" he yelled. Vin powered up the device which he used to import himself and downloaded Daxter. Sake and Jak watched on a screen as bits of data were rapidly erased. Some of it reformed, but was erased as well. Daxter soon emerged, gripping a device in his hands. "Here. Don't EVER ask me to do that again..." he quipped, walking for the door. Sake picked him up and scratched his belly and chest fur.
"Aww, c'mon big guy, you did great!" She churred into his ear. He melted into her arms, smiling. Jak rolled his eyes at the ottsel, who started to purr.
"Well, we got the keycodes. Time to bring down that factory." Jak eyed the small device Daxter had brought back strangely. Sake stared straight at him.
"I'm not going up there. Not ever again. You know me and heights, and plus Errol's up there." She explained quietly as she rested Daxter in his friends awaiting arms. Jak nodded.
"Just go back to the Freedom league HQ and I'll come back for you as soon as possible." he kissed her long and passionatly before rushing out of the door. She went out as well after talking to Vin for a while, taking a small zoomer to get back to the tower easily. There, she waited for what seemed like hours, pacing nervously, before he finally returned, cut up and badly bruised. She began to dress his various wounds, caring for the bleeding ones first.
"Errol was there alright." Jak said defiantly, sounding slightly angry. He was more then angry, he was downright furious. However, he did his best to keep his cool. He was afraid of losing Sake like he almost did when he said something she didn't agree with.
"What did he do?" She asked, sitting on his lap. Jak wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer.
"Well, he tried to kill me again. He made a vow that you'd be his one day." Jak hissed. The mere idea of HIS fiancee' with that perverted bucket of bolts turned his very stomach. Sake was too good for anyone, even himself. She hugged him back around the neck, the blonde getting a face full of boobs.
"That's not gonna happen. The next time I see that..." She stopped herself before she provoked an unwanted transformation. The elf then realised Daxter wasn't around... "Where's Dax?" Jak smirked, then layed back onto the bed Sake had been sitting on.
"He's off at the Ottsel getting drunk with Tess. We don't have anymore missions for today, so we can get a good night's sleep." Jak put his arms behind his head after removing his bracers, shoulder pads, chest plate and shirt. Sake did the same, but left the shirt on.
"You know, you're really sexy when you look innocent." She bent forward, fingers tracing his muscles which rippled as he moved.
"You're sexy no matter what." He replied, hands gripping her waist. She smiled, then began to kiss his neck. "Someone has been feeling lonely?" The blonde smirked wide, hands running along her sides. She pulled away, looking him in the eyes.
"I just miss my personal time with you. We're always busy on missions or are too tired to really do anything..." She replied, kissing him square on the lips. He eased into the kiss, letting her control it. He shuddered slightly, the feel of her long fingers against his bare chest. Emotions flared as they had their time together. When Jak's hands travelled, she shook her head. "Not yet baby... After the war, remember?" he smiled, then kissed her.
There was the sound of someone clearing their throat and they both looked to see who it was. Torn stood at the door, several guards standing behind him. "You know... this isn't a private room. If you want to go screw, take it to the basement or something." He chuckled, then left the doorway so the guards could enter. They all began to remove their armor and lay in the other beds scattered about the room. The two lovers got dressed, then headed to the Ottsel for a place to sleep. Daxter was already passed out on the counter with Tess asleep in the other backroom.
All Sake really wanted at the moment was sleep. For some odd reason... she was feeling very ill at the moment, and very weak to boot. So, she simply layed down next to Jak and passed out.
Her eyes opened, expecting sunlight. However, all they saw was darkness. Pure darkness. She blinked for a few seconds, trying to make the darkness go away. It didn't. This frightened her. Standing slowly, she called out, "Hello? Is anyone there?" It echoed for several seconds until the sounds died. She called out again. "Jak? Daxter?" No answer. There were no walls. No light. No ground. How she was capable of walking was beyond her. Then, a voice caught her attention.
"No one can her you. You're in my world now." She wheeled around to gaze uon something so horrifying, so evil, it turned her stomach. She backed away, but soon found an obstable behind her. She turned to see it was a solid brick wall. Claw marks and archaic writing were scibbled into the crumbling morter surface. The phrase, 'I want to die...' stood out clearly. She recognised the area. She was back in a prison cell, all alone with the hideous thing before her. She then took the time to inspect it.
It's beady black eyes gazed upon her evilly as a toothy grin crossed her pale lips. Long curving onyx horns looped back over her head, standing out against a shean of silver hair which hung to her knees. Its naked body could be seen covered in only what looked to be a cape, which spread to be a set of demonic bat like wings. Spikes lined the joints of each 'finger' and a long tail wound behind her, flicking every second or two. The figure was obviously female from the anatomy.
The demon approached her, her heart pounding so fast she was uncapable of controlling it. She again attempted to back away, failing miserably. "Stay away!" She yelled. "Leave me alone!" The unnamed creature simply laughed madly, pushing her violently against the wall.
"Shhh..." She placed two fingers to the girls lips, hushing her. However, she still quivered in fear. "I can't go away... this is where I live... In your mind, your soul, your memories..." The girl again attempted to back away. The wall did not resist. She felt the demon trace her curves with a clawed hand, much the way Errol had done. She struggled against the demon's grip, but failed. "Awww... don't tell me you're afraid of me..."
Her eyes were dialated in fear, heart pounding as her blood flowed rapidly through her veins. She could feel the demon's hands moving up her sides, along her breasts and to the hem of the neck of her shirt. She felt insignificant again, like she did when Errol violated her. She felt one strange motion all at once as the shirt was violently torn from her chest, leaving her exposed. The demon snickered, tongue tracing her collar bone. "Please... I don't want to die..."
"Oh.. simple mortal... Death is the only way out... Let me be your deliverer to the land of infinate dreams..." The demon whispered in her ear. She then felt it's fangs trace along the crook of her neck, gasping as they entered her flesh. She began to feel weak, dazed and absent minded. It was as if the demon was sucking the very energy from her body, not blood, but energy. Conciousness began to rapidly fade. Then, all went black.
