Ch3
When we got our next job, I finally got to ride in a double seated zoomer! It was so awesome! Being able to fly in the air instead of drive on the ground was so amazing! When we finally reached the drainage pipe, I heard a small voice in my head... some voice I didn't expect to hear ever again. "Oh, Alice!" she laughed evilly. I then felt my arm twitch in pain as I realized what was happening. "AH! Get out of my head bitch!" I shrieked as we entered the pipe.
Some of you may be wondering what I'm talking about... see, when I was in my world, I had a little problem that afflicts many people. I had dual personality disorder and I thought I'd gotten rid of my alternate persona whom I nicknamed Malice. She was wicked, destructive, and wanted nothing more than to do the meanest things to others. I went through severe therapy to get rid of her and even went to jail once because she failed to rob a bank!
And now she was back! And I knew it had something to do with the dark eco. "Alice! What's going on?!" Jack asked, looking at me with worry. I couldn't think clearly as I felt my control being shifted to Malice. "NO! NOT NOW! GET AWAY!" I yelled in a last burst of frustration. I didn't realize it, but my skin had suddenly went white and my eyes went pure black.
I lost control by that point and could only watch as Malice had assumed command of my body. "You bitch!" I exclaimed from inside the subconscious. "Alice! Are you okay?" Jak asked, backing up when he saw that I'd actually went dark. "No. Alice is far from okay..." Malice cackled, dark bolts shooting from her body as she looked at Jak. "DON'T YOU DARE!" I yelled, clawing at the subconscious in an attempt to weaken her.
I didn't expect it to work, but I actually regained control of my body from that horrible woman. "Alice? Can you tell me what's going on here?" Jak asked. I caught my breath and stood up, the darkness fading away momentarily. "I... I have an alternate personality..." I exhaled as I suddenly felt drained. "What's that?" Daxter asked. "It's kind of like there's two people in my body. Me and my evil alter ego... she probably returned because of this dark eco in me... oh joy, huh?" I chuckled, getting helped up by Jak. "Can you go on?" he asked. "Yeah... hopefully I can handle this... I've beat her before after all... shouldn't be too difficult."
As we continued to walk down the path and kill metal heads, I could hear Malice in my head cursing my name. "Bitch! Why couldn't you let me have some fun? I wanted to smash some heads in!" She cackled. (You're not smashing in my friends' heads, Malice!) "Psht! I now that! I meant the metal heads? Why not let me smash the metal heads?! I've never spilled blood before and I'd LOVE to kill a monster like these freaks!" (If you so much as lay a finger on Jak or Daxter, I'll claw at the subconscious again, clear?!) "Whatever, bitch!"
I then felt myself go again as I went dark. Jak immediately noticed me go dark and looked at Malice with a glare. "Easy, Dark Boy. We've reached a 'compromise' as you will," Malice cackled, rushing right past Jak and into the metal heads. I was shocked by what she did. She used her claws right on the monster's face and ripped it clean in half, the skull gem easily popping out of the beast and the others actually running away from her. "Oh no you don't!" she exclaimed, rushing the others and killing them off by clawing large slashes into their backsides and throats, dark blood spewing from the beasts and littering the earth.
I then felt control switch back to me and I immediately noticed Jak and Daxter behind me. "Uh... well... looks like she's a handful, huh?" Jak said. I was kind of surprised he didn't mention how much gore just happened from Malice's attack! "She... prefers the dark side of things," I smiled, followed by frowning at how she ruined my shirt. "When we get back to town, I'll need to get myself some new clothes... you can go on without me when that happens..." "Note taken, Alice," he smiled.
After a little more platforming, we reached the objective: the valve. "Ah. The valve. Allow me," Daxter smiled, trying and failing to open the valve. I smirked and punched the pipe, the force from the suction picking up Dax and sending him into the pipes. "Wanna go save him?" I asked, winking at Jak. "Of course." We then jumped down and into the water, which felt somewhat soothing as we swam to the other end of the beach to find the pipe Dax was in. "Jak... please... help?" Daxter's voice echoed in the pipe.
Jak turned the wheel and Daxter was soon spat out of the water pipe. Jak opened his mouth but Daxter held up his finger. "Don't say it. Don't even chuckle. Next time... YOU turn the valve!" he huffed. I could only smile as I noticed that the metal head blood had actually been completely washed off of me when I swam in the water. "Huh... no more blood... didn't know Metal Head juice was so washable," I smiled as we headed into the pipe. "So... um... you gonna go buy clothes still?" Jak asked, scratching the back of his head. "Oh? Are you worried I may just up and leave you in the lurch?" I asked. "Um... I... uh..." "Or are you falling for my charming self?"
Jak immediately blushed and I could only giggle. "Well, just a forewarning Jak. It's dangerous to be a girlfriend with me AND Malice at the same time or even separately. You've gotta really commit if you want to hang with us!" (Ain't that the truth?) I thought. (Hey, I like this new Alice! Messin' with the story? A okay in my books!) Malice thought back. (Oh come on! It's not like Kiera will miss him or anything! Plus, he gets into a relationship with Ashelin for some odd reason... I think it may be better this way... since we might not have a way to get back home.) (Well duh! We did get sucked into a television! Doesn't seem like you can do the reverse unless you're in The Ring!) "I... uh... okay... I can handle with this..." Jak smiled while still blushing. "Okay! Good!" I smirked. (Yeah... real smooth...) (Oh shut up!)
