Heyy I'm back…. Again, Another chapter yay. I'm planning on getting another one on today :D hopefully. Lol. Ok. So this story is going to end in a couple of chapters. Id say 2 maybe 3. So please stick with me…
Hop on' I heard in my head, from Jak who was currently on a zoomer, ready to go.
"Come on, Maddy. Hurry up. Let's GOO."
Daxter said. I had forgotten he was here for a long time.
I reluctantly climbed on to the Zoomer behind Jak. The second my legs locked
in place he took off. I felt my hair whipping behind me, and saw the Flying
Lurkers pass us. Jak had too because he sped up to a speed that didn't seem possible.
My eyes were watering nonstop and were feeling itchy so I closed them to the speed. Jak was lucky, he had goggles. Maybe I would ask for some when I got back. I felt my body jerk to the left and could only assume that Jak had dodged something dangerous.
I braved opening my eyes and saw that Jak had already passed 3 of the
Lurkers. At this rate we were going to get there before them and stop the bomb that Jak and Daxter didn't know about. They just thought they were racing some Lurkers. My eyes had gotten used to the wind. Another miracle of my video game body. I looked up to see Daxter hiding behind Jak's hair. I tried to move my arm towards him to hide him better but it resisted. Too much wind.
Just as I thought that, Jak came to a halt, sending the Lurker that was
tailing him into a bomb in front of us. The stop could've been both a good thing and a bad thing. The good was that we had blown up two lurkers, the second having been thrown into a rock and now lay motionless in front of us.
The bad was that it had let another Lurker in front of us.
I took to time to situate Daxter on my lap, getting him better coverage from the wind. I looked around and took in the surroundings and judged we were about half way through the path and glanced ahead and saw that we were just about to make the Death Jump.
"Jak you're going to need speed for that." I said outloud for Daxter's
benefit.
He just shrugged and revved the gears again. And we're off.
Jaks foot kept pressing more and more on the pedal until we were going full speed
in a matter of two seconds. We didn't need any speed build up.
Then we hit the jump.
We were flying through the air, in threat of falling every second, but never doing so. I felt the wind pass me in whooshes and felt it hit my face in strong gusts. I was glad that my hair was behind me because I know from experience that it would be whipping me right about now
I didn't realize I was screaming until I ran out of breath, the lack of
oxygen and the throat pains finally catching up with me.
I started taking in scratchy breaths, hiding my head behind Jaks back, just so that the air didn't come flying into my mouth and nearly choking me.
I used to stick my head out of the car window and the wind used to flow into my mouth all the time.
We hit the ground again without even a falter in the gliding of the machine we were on.
Due to our previous stop, we were quite a bit behind the Lurkers,
but we were catching up.
Jak had been dodging around the Blue Eco vents for fear that even that would affect me. But now we couldn't. We had reached a narrow tunnel inside the cave right behind the last two Lurkers. There was multiple Blue Eco vents flowing inside, forcing us to hit them. I braced myself for anything. I didn't know if the Blue Eco would even affect me at all, out of the norm.
And when we hit the Blue Eco vents nothing felt different.
At first.
It gave me a second to rejoice in the fact that nothing happened before it kicked in.
I felt myself go wild, the Eco-centric animal inside me tearing its way out of my body. We were still going at an inhuman speed, and I was trapped on the Zoomer with two other people I didn't want to hurt. The Eco seemed to be affecting me more every time I used it.
I was losing control again. I didn't know what to do. I had to channel the Eco to somewhere. It's like if you get struck by lightning and your not touching anything the lightning stays inside your body, burning everything that its fiery strands touch; except I had control over it, for the most part, and I was choosing to let it burn me to charcoal.
I could see the ending. And I was afraid I wouldn't be able to make it
without letting the Eco out of me.
Jak seemed oblivious of my reaction to the Eco, while Daxter just hid his eyes from the wind. Neither of them knew what was happening to me.
Okay. What is Blue Eco good for? I saw the Lurkers that we had passed begin to catch up to us.
Speed. Blue Eco is good for speed.
But where do I channel it to? If I pumped it all into Jaks foot nothing would happen. That would be for Red Eco, which was more strength. No I needed something energetic to channel it too.
The engine, maybe? No, it might be too much power for it and I don't exactly want to blow it, and kill us, and I was trying to avoid any death right now.
The fan, then? Would that work? The fan the kept the Zoomer itself going, that gave it its velocity.
It was the only thing I could do from exploding into a ball of pure energy I was in pain, and I needed it out of my system. Now.
I didn't know how I was supposed to do it, but it just kind of happened. A very concentrated dose of Blue Eco came shooting out of my fingers slowly, going right to
the fan, doubling our previous speed.
This caught Jak's attention. I saw him jerk, but he hadn't seen the light, or maybe only I could. I didn't know.
I honestly didn't really care, as long as the eco was leaving my body without hurting anyone.
He just thought that he had hit something
that made him go even faster.
Oh crap!
The Lurkers were going to pass us. I couldn't let that happen. I focused the beam of blue light more and we sped up even faster. We zipped right past the Lurker that had just passed us, and hit the Trans-pad mere seconds before the purple bugger hit the lever to blow up everything.
I was still dizzy from the Blue Eco intake and when I got up I tripped. I heard
Jak and Daxter laugh at me for falling 'Maddy!'
I heard in my head.
Except...Something sounded off at their laughs...
When I listened more closely I realized that I had mistaken Daxter's
screams of terror for laughter, and Jak's laughter of my name was
actually a yell of my name, a warning.
But why? I was about to look, but then I fell. I was about to get up and asked what happened. Why they were upset.
Then I felt the pain. It was like every thing in my body was being electrocuted. All I could see was darkness. Darkness everywhere.
...Dark eco.
Reviews are nice :)
