Two years later
Daxter and I had stumbled upon Osmo that day, an elderly old man who ran an exterminating shop. He gave us the job, clothes, and a place to stay at his shop. I had to get rid of mine. They weren't the typical haven clothing, making me stick out like a sore thumb more then I already was. I was presented a blue duster with a brown collar and pockets, a white tank top underneath, maroon colored pants, a brown belt that had gun holsters attached to it, fingerless brown gloves and a pair of brown boots. We did odd jobs here and there; Killing metal bugs and the occasional queen bee. Sometimes we got rewarded for our work, thus my gold piercings and ear cuff chains.
We made friends and many enemies, such as Kaeden, an evil man who threatened to run Osmo out of town. We came across a map that would lead us into the hell hole where Jak was being held. Having to go through the prison ventilation system, we made it across a hall way. It turned out Kaeden was a metal head in disguise. Ugly looking fellow too. We defeated him; with some kick-butt moves no less. I was excited to meet Jak for the first time.
I held his soon-to-be clothes tightly to my chest. I tried hard not to squeal. A while ago everything began to register into my mind that all of this was real. When I had first started everything seemed to be unreal, my mind was sort of blank but, the next day I realized that I wasn't dreaming. I screamed my head off, scaring everybody awake. Everything that had happened that previous night was real, all of it was real. I had been thrown into a life I thought I could never have, without reason or explanation. I just had to go with the flow, and that's what I did. Now here I am saving the hero that's supposed to save the world alongside his furry friend.
We stepped on a mini-lift, which rapidly propelled us downwards through the air, Towards Jak. He was cuffed to a cold metal table that stood center of the prison area. He was in pain after having to endure so much dark eco to his body from the injections. He was groaning tiredly tugging at the chains that kept him locked in place. I could see multiple scars on his arms, mostly his wrists and ankles from trying to escape. Daxter began to call, "Ding, ding... Third floor... Body chains, roach food, torture devices." the small rodent hybrid jumped onto Jak's chest," Hey buddy... you seen any heroes around here?" Daxter hadn't realized he was on top of his friend because he was shocked when he looked more closely at the blonde "WHOA! What'd they do to you?" he didn't get a response," Jak, it's me... Daxter!" The ottsel whined desperately
. Jak took a look at him... but he flinched. I frowned at the small reaction. Daxter was getting annoyed by his best friend, "well, that's a fine hello"! I've been crawling around in this place risking my tail, literally-" he grabbed his tail to prove his point, "to save you! I've been looking for you for two years! Say something! Just this once!" he yelled into the poor guy's face grabbing the collar of his prison shirt, "Daxter, maybe you shou-. " I was cut off by Jak's sudden outburst, "I'm gonna kill praxis!" I jumped back nearly falling off the ledge. I was able to catch my footing.
I looked down at the bottomless pit. Thoughts of what could have happened if I fell flashed through my mind making me shiver. I shook those thoughts away. I watched as Daxter tried looking for a switch to let Jak loose. Jak was becoming restless and angry. Purple sparks flew around him. He broke the cuffs and Daxter fell off. Jak had begun to change. His once blue orbs now pitch black and his skin was a sickly white. His blonde hair turned a silver grey and his nails grew into these long black claws. He looked like a demon. Crap. Daxter coward behind me, "easy buddy, It's, it's your old pal Daxter remember?" Jak advanced towards us, lifting his arm to strike, "ARRRGGHH!" I shut my eyes and put my arms up to block his attack,"- Daxter..?" all of a sudden he stopped. He recognized the orange fur ball. He slowly changed back dropping on his knees. Daxter shouted at the blonde, "What the heck was that?! Sheesh, remind me not to piss you off!" The ottsel was suddenly enveloped into a tight embrace from his friend making him yelp in surprise, "I'm sorry, Dax." Jak apologized. I swear I was about ready to cry.
"Alright, enough with the mushy crap, I get that enough from her!" he pointed towards me. I giggled; I was always hugging the little guy and cuddling him like a pet. Jak looked up at me. I smiled and held out my hand. He shook it, "it's nice to finally meet you Jak, I'm Audrey," I greeted politely. He gave a curt nod and stood to get up. He was a lot taller then I was, then again I've always been on the short side. Daxter climbed on his usual place on Jak's shoulder. Like two peas in a pod," Come on, tall dark and gruesome. We're outta here!" Daxter was ready to get out of here and I'm plenty sure Jak was too.
Just as they were about to leave I remember I still had his clothes, "oh wait! Jak!" I called out. He turned around and looked at me, "these are for you, it would probably be better to wear these, it's probably a lot warmer and comfortable then your, uh, outfit." Jak looked down at his prison garments. He would be instantly noticed by crimson guards if he were to walk out with them, "thanks." He took the clothes from me and began to change.
I blushed, turning away to give him his privacy. Jak tapped my shoulder after he was done. He had on a long sleeve tunic, beige pants, steel toed boots, a metal ring that sat center of his chest and his goggle that pulled back his hair from his face. His red scarf tucked underneath and wrapped around his neck and he had his blue fingerless gloves, just like it was supposed to be. I grinned and gave him the thumbs up, "looking good!" he smirked. We finally made our way out of the prison's fortress, taking out some Krimson guards along the way.
