Disclaimer: I do not own the Jak and Daxter or the Borderlands franchise they both belong to their respective owners
(A/N) I have been playing the jak and daxter games for years with my favorite being Jak 3 and I have also been playing the borderlands games. Both franchises are great in their own right and they look like they can work together very well. So with that mindset this fanfic was born it will be AU and this first chapter will be short but future chapters will longer and it will be set after the first Borderlands game so we can get into borderlands 2 territory so please enjoy.
Also as for the narrator at the start of this chapter I know it is obvious but just to be safe it is be marcus yep just like borderlands hope I did a good job.
Chapter 1 The Duo's new adventure
Narrator: "So you're here for a story huh if you are then welcome, enjoy and relax if not well too bad you're here anyways."
"The title of hero is an interesting title that is bestowed to people who have done great deeds for their world. Yet who grants such a title knowing of the heavy burden that comes with it?"
"Is it given by people of grand wisdom, or do people bestow it upon themselves because they believe deserved it?"
This is a story of two heroes one who has earned it and one who has claimed it. Both has experienced lost and betrayal in some form yet they walk different paths that is of their choosing. Yet due to crazy circumstances their paths ends up crossing who will prevail between the two and will the young orange creature learn to SHUT UP OR ELSE HE'LL BECOME SKAG BAIT? We will find out soon enough in this story.
(Spargus City)
It has been months since Jak had saved the world from absolute devastation with the odds stacked against him. Since stopping Errol from his mad ambitions everything had calmed down for our young hero. It started from stopping psychotic siblings from destroying the planet. To traveling to the future and saving the world from the metal heads and the dark makers. It was by no means an easy journey for jak after the torture, betrayal, and tragedy that the young hero has endured but he did not give up.
The young hero was not alone in his journey however because he was accompanied by a short, orange, and VERY outspoken companion his name is Daxter. Due to some unforeseen circumstances that had caused Jak to go on his first journey he had transformed into an ottsel. Ironically the transformation had made Daxter a part of the precursor race. Since the transformation the two had shared their adventures for a long time.
Jak was in the pub of Spargus keeping the company of young Daxter while he tells his stories. Though it may not seem like it Jak was grateful to Daxter for standing by him and maintaining his loyalty for a long time. Though Jak had faced many hardships he had a hard time imagining his adventures without his little orange friend.
Jak was at the top of a scout tower in Spargus reminiscing on his past adventures while looking out onto the desert. "Hey Jak where are you? Are you up here? Ah here you are." A loud voice had called out to him getting the young hero's attention.
The source of the voice was Daxter Jak's longtime friend. Though he does complain a lot about the stuff they go through in their adventures he does stand by his friend and in turn they have each other's back when they can.
"Whatcha doing up here Jak some more marauders trying to attack us?" Daxter had asked
"No Marauders this time I'm just thinking about what the precursors had told us before they left about more adventures in the future." Jak had replied
"I wouldn't worry about it Jak we won't have to deal with that for a while." Daxter had told him
"That's only part of it the precursor leader had said that the universe need protectors I was just wondering if part of our future adventure's lies in the universe. If they are will we be able to handle it?" Jak had said to his friend
"Oh please they were probably doing some bogus mystic crap. I bet they don't even know half of the crap they are saying. Taking about some big war and stuff." Daxter had said very boldly
However just when Daxter was about to talk even further Jak and himself was engulfed in a bright blue light and then after a moment they both disappeared.
(Precursor Ship)
"Then they have the nerve to act high and mighty . . . hey where are we?" Daxter had said after the recent change in location
"Well I see that you're still as outspoken as ever young Daxter." An old and wise voice had said
Jak and Daxter had looked around and saw that it was the three precursors that they had met on their most recent journey.
"So did something happen for you all to call us here. Are the dark makers coming back to our planet?" Jak had asked with some concern in his voice
"Dude don't worry your planet is totally safe for now at least." The surfer Ottsel had reassured Jak
"Yea uh it is but that is like uh a little bit of why we uh brought you here." The dummy ottsel had said
"Yes as I was saying there is a special reason that we have called you here. Do you remember when we showed you a glimpse of the universe? Well in the very far distance from your planet lies a planet with a very unique power." The ottsel leader had said
"Do you guys think it is a new type of eco?" Jak had asked the leader
"No it is not eco but the power we sense is similar to ours but at the same time very different. This has us concerned because we fear that if that power falls into the wrong hands it may be a threat that can rival that of the dark makers." The ottsel leader had said with some concern in his voice
"Wait a minute it wasn't that long ago that we saved the world and now you want us to find a new power that can be just as world destroying as the dark makers. Do you have any IDEA how crazy this sounds." Daxter had said with much anger in his voice
"Hey dude like chill we know it's a big request but we also know that you two are up to the task." The surfer ottsel had said
"Yes we just need you two to make sure that the power is in the hands of people who can use it with wisdom and will do noble deeds with it. Or if that fails then destroy the power before it becomes too much of a threat. We wouldn't want to force you to do anything against your will and you are free to turn this down if you want." The leader had said
"Well your damn right we will turn this down. Because there is no way we're gonna loo for more world threatening crap right Jak?" Daxter had said with a smug look on his face
"We'll do it." Jak had said with a serious look
Daxter had a look of shock on his face and ran up to Jak's face and closed his face towards his
"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND JAK? AFTER ALL THE CRAP WE WENT THROUGH YOU WANT TO DO THIS AGAIN?" Daxter had shouted
"Look Dax you heard what they said it is very powerful and if it falls into the wrong hands than all of us could be in trouble. Besides this could be a chance to make sure that the right people are in control of that power lessens the chances of people being like Kor, Praxis or Errol. We may be able to prevent psychopaths like Gol and Maia." Jak had explained to his Daxter
"Well looks like you still need me for common sense so I will go with you to make sure you don't do anything stupid." Daxter has said as he got on Jak's shoulder.
"Thank you for agreeing to help now we won't be sending you there unarmed instead we will give you a tool that can be of great use to you." The ottsel leader had said before he conjured a gauntlet on Jak's right hand. The gauntlet is orange colored with a crystal at the back hand of the gauntlet.
"This is what you will be bringing with you on your journey. The place you're going to does not have any eco and since your body has used and adapted to eco this will be of great use to you." The leader of the ottsel precursor had explained
"We call it the eco gauntlet it has the power to grant you power that is equivalent to the eco you have used in the past. However you have to charge up the gauntlet in order for you to use it. So obviously the power will not last for too long and also if you charge it and use either the light or dark eco power within you after it wears off the gauntlet will be unusable for a short time. It is also mapped to your DNA so only you can use it and also only you can take it off." The Precursor leader had explained further
"Two questions one how does this thing charge and two what about everyone?" Jak had asked the precursors
"Well dude that gauntlet can charge up in three ways. The first way is that it charges up naturally but the drawback is that it is slow so be aware of that. The second way is that you need to bring it to a power source it will charge very quickly. The third final and unpleasant way to charge it is to get hurt A LOT. Why it can charge like that I don't know something about natural state of danger with the life force or something it's just hard to explain." The surfer Ottsel had said
"We will contact Samos and he will tell everyone what has happened so they should not have to worry too much hopefully." The Precursor leader had said
"Jak wait what about your morph gun won't you be needing it?" Daxter had asked
"I don't think they will have the right ammo for the morph gun besides I got this gauntlet so that's at least something we've handled worse you know that." Jak had said to reassure his friend
"Fine I'm still going with you but if I die on this adventure with you I will haunt you from the grave. Hey precusors will I be getting something for this trip." Daxter had asked the other three ottsels
"Well Daxter you have adapted exceptionally well in you past adventures so we believe you will do so again." The leader had said
"YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!?" Daxter had yelled
"Well good luck." The leader had said before he warped the duo to the new location.
(The Highlands)
A blue light had flashed and in an instant it disappeared and the duo stood in its place.
"Whoa that was intense I swear if a body part is hurting I am going to tear them apart. Hey jak this place looks a little like the areas outside of Haven city you sure they did not send us to the wrong place?" Daxter had stated
"Hmm it doesn't look like it maybe we should find somebody and ask some questions we don't exactly know what we should be looking for." Jak had said as he started walking hoping to find someone
(Hyperion Head Office)
Throughout Pandora there was a corporation that has made itself well known and that is Hyperion. Though what made Hyperion infamous is the man in charge and his name is Handsome Jack. He calls himself a hero and claims to bring justice to Pandora but he rules it with an iron fist with few people challenging his authority only to end up hurt or most likely dead.
"Alright Nisha talk dirty to me you know how I like it." Handsome jack had said
"I had captured a bandit who though he was tough yet only to end up getting captured by me. He yelled about how he was going to eat my organs and make sure that I would watch so I shot him in the arm. After that he started crying for his mommy." Nisha had said
"Oh yeah I like how this is starting." Handsome Jack had said
"Then as he was crying for his mommy I took my gun and dug it into the bullet wound and he screamed much louder." Nisha had said
"Tell me more Nisha don't stop I like where this is going." Handsome Jack had said with much more excitement
"Then as he was yelling more and more I decided to shoot him in the stomach which made him scream much louder." Nisha had explained but more seductively
"Oh yeah keep going baby." Handsome Jack had said with significantly more excitement
"So after that I . . . ." Nisha had said before a third voice had came in
"Handsome Jack?" The third voice had said
"Damn it angel she was getting to the best part. We will pick this up later Nisha in person, in my office, on my chair, maybe the desk if we have enough time." Handsome Jack had said
"Looking forward to it hon." Nisha had said as she was signing off
"OK Angel what's going on did something happen to the train that was going to pick up the wannabee vault hunters?" Handsome Jack had asked the person now known as Angel
"No but I did pick up on a strange energy reading. A flash of light had appeared and someone appeared from it. It's not the teleporter that you use Handsome Jack but the energy is still strange. What's really odd is that the strange energy reading is coming from the strange person. I'm bringing in a visual so you can have a better idea.
Handsome Jack had looked at the image and had a brief thought of confusion
Is that an orange skag on his shoulder eh whatever. So what is strange about this energy reading?' Handsome Jack had asked
"Well what's strange is that the young man is giving off an energy signature that is remarkably similar to the sirens. Unfortunately there are no records of anyone like him from Pandora or the other planets." Angel had explained
"A male siren that is too bizarre and EXTREMELY unlikely. Still if you're detecting some power from him then he might be worth checking out. We still have a few days before the train gets to the hunters I want the surveillance to be focused on him I will be watching as well. Best case scenario we have another one for the list but worst case we get to see some entertainment before the real show begins. Wish I had some popcorn or maybe a pizza and a drink." Handsome Jack had said
"Alright blonde boy and orange skag let's see what you got for us to see." Handsome jack had said while watching the two.
(A/N) I will do the best I can about the locations but I can't promise that they will be named all the time if I made any mistakes about the locations in this whole story please correct me and I will make the necessary edits I apologize in advance.
