Location: Spargus City
Two weeks after Arena fight
It's been two whole weeks of fighting for survival in the wasteland. Damas gave me and Daxter the remaining test only 2 days later after the first one and now we both earned our citizenship for Spargus City.
For our first act as citizens, Damas sent us on an artifact run. It was hard to see shit in the sandstorm and what Damas said about the storms didn't help at all.
Flashback a few minutes ago
"Jak! Daxter!" I heard Damas yell out while I was tuning up the Sandshark.
"What's up your highness?" Daxter said as he walked up to Damas.
"Scanners show that a few precursor artifacts have been resurfaced and need you two to go and retrieve them before they're lost again in the sands of time." Damas said.
"So it's a snatch and run job?" I asked him.
"Yes and with a deadly sandstorm heading this way." He said as he began to walk out of the garage.
"Anything we need to know about the storms here?" Daxter asked the one million dollar question.
"Yes. Be quick on retrieving the artifacts before it comes and if you're cought in the storm, the sand will rip your flesh from your very bones." Damas said menacingly as he left.
"Well that was a vote of confidence we didn't need at all!" Daxter exclaimed as he got in his heat seeker car.
"Well, what do you expect from him?" I asked as I got in the Sand shark.
"Whatever. Let's do this quickly I need a nap." Daxter said as he started the engine.
With that said we drove off to the wasteland to collect some artifacts.
Flashback end
"Jak! How many ya got already!?" I heard Daxter say through the communicator.
"I got a few. About 10 of them how about you!?" I said to him through the communicator.
"I've got about 7! Yah think that's enough!?" He asked. I looked to the horizon and noticed the storm was closing in.
"Dax, get to the city now!!!" I yelled as i stepped on it and made my way to the city gates.
On the way to the city, I noticed two murauders decided it was time to bugg the hell out of me. I stopped the car only for enough time for them to pass by me and floored it guns blazing.
After the first one was dead, the second one used his spiked wheels to try pop mine off. Good thing I installed some powerful hydrolics in the Sand shark for times like these. The car jumped over the murauders while he was distracted by looking up, be drove straight to a rock wall resulting in an explosion.
After that was done, I hit the turbo for Spargus. After 2 minutes of turbo I made it back safely-ish. I noticed Daxters car already parked and him taking a nap in it.
After a while I heard the doors to the city open. I looked over and saw Damas and Sig.
"It seems you and Daxter are the only ones besides Sig that can get things done. That is exactly what I need for your next assignment." Damas said.
"What is it this time: bag a couple of Metal-heads, Storm the Murauders citadel or destroy the Metal-head nest!" Daxter exclaimed with an odd sense of enthusiasm.
"I need you, Jak and Sig to go to Haven City and search for two people I care deeply for, you'll know them when you see this." He said as he handed this to me.
I was completely shocked to see this symbol and even more is that he has two children. I looked over to Damas.
"We'll do it but it'll take a while." I said putting away the seal.
"Good. You'll leave for Haven tomorrow." Damas said as he walked back to the city.
Honestly, I'm actually very excited to go the Haven City. I turned to look at Daxter and saw that he went back to his nap. I turned to Sig.
"So, we start tomorrow but how are we we going in?" I asked him.
"Just let me handle it man." He said. "I've heard good things about you guys for about two weeks. Let's see if their not just rumors." He said as he gave me pat in the back.
The present
Location: Golden oaks Library
Time: Tuesday 6:45 AM
Ugh..It's morning but I don't want to get up.
I opened my eyes and saw that at one point Scootalo slipped in to my bed.'Why is she in my mattress, I thought I gave the bed last night.'I thought to myself as I carefully got up. After got up with out a sound I made my way downstairs to make breakfast for Scootalo, Nyx and Me and maybe Rhino.
After 30 minutes, I made some cinnamon waffles for breakfast. I checked the time and saw that it was 7:24 and decided to wake up Nyx and Scootalo for breakfast.
So I got a pan and laddle and made my way upstairs to my room and open the door and started banging the pan to wake them up. let me tell you this scared the shit out of them.
"Dad! What was that for!?"Nyx said as she threw her pillow at me, hitting me in the face.
All Scoots did was put her head under the pillow trying to ignore me.
"Get your butts up, it's time for breakfast!" I said as I removed Scootalos pillow.
After a futile attempt to ignore me, they finally got up and made their way to the dinning room.
This is going to be a very good day, I can feel it. Next Chapter: For those who need help Estimated time remaining: 4 Hours, 20 Minutes
