Jak IV: The Avenging Angels

I don't own Jak and Daxter, and I don't own any of the other things that sound like they're from Red vs. Blue. I did get the inspiration from Project Freelancer, but that's about it. Enjoy!

Chapter 1:The Attack

Downtown Haven City HQ:

"All right Jak, here's the situation." Torn said in his gruff voice.

"Great! We kill Kor! More Metal Heads and things get worse. We kill Errol, and now what happens? More Metal Heads and things get-AH!" Daxter yelled as Torn punched him off of Jak's shoulder.

"As the talking rodent said, yes, there have been increased Metal Heads attacks and though we've stopped the KG Deathbots, the Metal Heads are killing everything they can, and are twice as hard to kill as before. We've got intel that says that they have a new leader, one that's even stronger than Kor, and even more twisted then Errol.

"Doesn't matter in the end, we'll get this scumbag and put him down." Jak said with a grin.

"Hey, it could be a woman for all we know." Keira said with a frown.

"Well, yeah, I guess so." Jak said.

"We must be cautious this time. We don't know what this leader could do." Samos said wisely.

"We're always cautious, we like a nice quiet life, don't we Jak?" Daxter said sarcastically.

"Oh yeah, we've been hurled through time, tortured with dark eco, been nearly blown up about three or four times, almost got killed by a crazy hover-bike rider, left to die in a desert, almost killed by a giant robot, and almost killed by Errol when he became…well, whatever the hell he became when we killed him. No big deal." Jak said with a laugh as he recited everything that had happened over the past two adventures.

Suddenly Keira, Torn, Samos and Jak tensed as a yell came from downstairs and a thud could be heard. Daxter didn't hear it.

"Hey, do you guys hear that?" Keira said uneasily.

"What are you-?" Daxter began to say.

"SHHHH!" Torn said unsheathing his knife.

"Ah! Metal Heads!" a man yelled below.

"How'd they get in-AH!" a woman screamed.

"Metal Heads! How'd they get in!" Torn snarled as he pulled out a blaster and ran to the elevator.

"Jak! Get in! We need you and Dax on the front lines!" Torn said.

The entire building shook violently and everyone was hurled across the room. Jak got to his feet and yelled "Everyone, get out now!"

Suddenly part of the wall was torn away and another explosion shook the building. Flames began shooting up across the walls and smoke poured in from all sides.

"C'mon! Let's get out of here!" Keira yelled.

The building shook violently again and part of the floor fell away underneath Keira. As she began to fall, Jak's hand shot out and grabbed hers. Suddenly the floor shook again and both of them were sent flying down towards the ground a hundred feet below them.

"Jak!" Keira yelled.

"DO SOMETHING!" Daxter yelled, clinging onto Jak's shoulder.

Jak's eyes suddenly turned white and his body flashed white and blue. Jak's whole body began glowing with a blue light and white wings shot out of his back. Jak flapped his wings a few times and landed on a piece of the rubble about seventy feet from the ground.

"Thank the Precursors for light eco!" Daxter yelled from atop Jak's shoulder.

Jak and Keira began coughing from the smoke and Daxter yelled "C'mon, let's get out of here!"

Suddenly two flying Metal Heads screeched at them and dove down at Jak. Jak created a barrier of light to fend them off as they crashed into the barrier over and over again. Suddenly one of them dove lower and broke apart the piece of building supporting them. Keira's hand slipped out of his and she began to fall.

"Jak!" Keira screamed.

"Keira!" Jak yelled flying down towards her.

Suddenly one of the flying Metal Heads flew at him and slammed into his chest. The other one whipped around and bashed Jak in the back of the head with its mace-like tail. Jak's vision failed and all went dark as Jak plummeted into the fiery wreckage of the building.

"JAK!" Daxter yelled as he and his best friend plummeted into the inferno.

Jak crashed onto a support beam to the building, just out of reach of the flames. Daxter was jumping up and down on Jak, trying in vain to wake him up.

"Someone help us!" Daxter screamed as the inferno around them drew closer.

…

Sometime later, Jake felt himself being moved out of the rubble and onto a metal floor. Jak's thoughts began to process what was going on, but it was still really fuzzy for him.

"Where…where am I?" Jak asked as his entire body throbbed in pain and he opened his eyes slowly.

"Hey, hang in there buddy, everything will be OK!" Daxter said.

"Dax…what…what happened?" Jak said trying to sit up and failing.

"Metal Heads, everywhere! You took a really nasty hit to the head and got knocked out. The entire building exploded and you almost…well…" Daxter said worriedly.

"Where's…where's Samos, Torn, and Keira?" Jak asked weakly.

"Jak…I'm sorry but, you let go of Keira when you got hit, and she fell a hundred feet into the burning building. She…" Daxter choked up and didn't finish.

"No! I'll kill them all!" Jak roared as the dark eco reacted to his anger and began to turn him into Dark Jak. However, because he was weakened, he quickly returned to normal.

"Hey, you should probably know that Torn and Samos made it out, but, we may not see them for a while. They escaped from the Headquarters, but that's all I had time to figure out before they came." Daxter said.

"T-they? Who do you mean by 'they'?" Jak said.

"I think he means…us." a woman's voice said.

Jak painfully moved his head to the side and looked up at the woman speaking.

She was wearing strange purple metal armor that gleamed in the afternoon sun. She wore a black leather suit underneath the armor, but her face was hidden behind a helmet with intricate white designs on it. Jak then realized they were on a transport floating a few feet above the ground, about forty yards away from the burning building, Metal Heads streaming out of it.

"W-who are you?" Jak asked sitting up.

"Slow down there, you got hurt pretty badly. How you survived that explosion and the building falling apart, I'd like to know. You've got a pretty bad concussion there, so take it easy." The woman said sternly.

"No. I've got to help them!" Jak said getting to his feet and pulling out the Peace Maker.

"No! Wait!" the woman yelled.

Jak jumped off of the transport and stumbled towards the building. He charged up the Peace Maker and a wicked ball of blue energy formed at the tip of the gun. Jak let go of the trigger and the ball flew out and slammed into the skull of a gigantic Metal Head, which roared in pain before collapsing onto the ground dead. Jak stumbled forward and his vision blurred.

"Get back here!" the woman in the purple armor yelled.

"Yeah Jak, there's nothing you can do!" Daxter yelled, but Jak ignored them.

Suddenly the building exploded again and Jak fell to the ground with a groan as the shockwave reached him and sent him crashing onto the ground. Jak's injuries caught up with him and he passed out, falling to his knees and face-first onto the ground.

"Jak!" Daxter yelled as his best friend fell to the ground.

"Damn it! Hold on, I've got him." The woman said jumping out of the transport and pulling a silver pistol.

She ran over to Jak and checked his pulse and said "He's out cold. You both are going to have to return to HQ, it's the only way he'll make it. I'll explain everything there."

"How can we trust you?" Daxter asked.

"I saved you and your friend. We're here to help." The woman said in a gentler tone.

Daxter remained silent and said "Help him" and the woman nodded her head.

"Rune! Watch out!" a man called through the smoke to the woman.

"What?" the purple armored woman said lifting Jak onto her shoulders.

Suddenly a Metal Head six feet tall with razor-sharp claws jumped through the smoke right at her and Jak. The woman laughed and fired three times at the Metal head, whose body was decapitated by the three blue lasers fired from the pistol.

"Whoa! Now that was cool! What is that!" Daxter said excitedly as the Metal Head fell to the ground dead.

"Standard Issue energy pistol." The woman said with a chuckle.

"Oh…I knew that." Daxter said.

"Sure. Hey, Sharpshooter! Help me load Jak back onto the transport. He's not exactly light." The woman said.

"Sure Rune. Gimme a sec." the man replied.

A man in black and white armor, like the woman who had saved them, walked through the smoke with a bone-white sniper rifle on his back. He walked over to the woman and said "I think we're about done here. We got as many people out of the area as we could, but with just the two of us, I'd rather not stick around with so many Metal Heads around."

"Agreed. Let's take these two back to HQ. Let's roll." The woman said.

Several Hours Later:

Location: Unknown

Jak was lying down in an all white medical bay center, with snow-white sheets and several monitors hooked up to his body. Daxter was telling woman in purple armor called Rune, mostly truthful, stories about their past, just to kill the time.

"OK, so let me get this straight. He was tortured by this Praxis guy, and he can now use dark eco at will? And he has this darker alter-ego that has intense strength and he can destroy anything in his path? Plus, he can use Light Eco as well with equally extrodinary effects, and this balances out his dark side?" the woman known as Rune asked.

"Yeah, the Dark Eco thing happens when you piss him off." Daxter said.

"So…don't piss him off?" Rune asked.

"Yeah. Probably best for all involved." Daxter said.

"I'm impressed, this guy seems like he'd be perfect for the Angels." Rune said.

"Angel? Jak's sure as hell ain't no angel." Daxter laughed.

"Our group jackass. We are the Avenging Angel's. A group dedicated to wiping out all traces of the Metal Heads and restoring peace to this messed up world. We're a group of highly skilled agents who fight against the Metal Heads. And…I'm thinking Jak would make a great addition if even half of the stories you've been telling me are true. Plus, he has another trait that all Angels share." Rune said thoughtfully.

"Hey, we only came along because Jak needed some help. We're not agreeing to anything!" Daxter said angrily.

"OK, OK, rodent. Calm down. He should be awake anytime, our medical facility is one of the best on the planet. We spare no expense to make sure our people are safe." Rune said.

"So what's your story anyway?" Daxter said.

"Nonya." Rune said.

"Nonya?" Daxter asked.

"None of your business. My life story isn't something I hand out to everyone; I tell you when I trust you, and though I risked my skin to save you both, one day isn't enough." Rune said.

"Fair enough." Daxter said.

"All right, I've got to brief the Chief on what happened. Press the red button if something happens and you need me." Rune said walking out of the room.

"Wonder what she's like with her helmet off…screw the helmet. I wonder what she's like with that armor off?" Daxter mused with a smile.

Suddenly Jak groaned and his eyes flickered open. He looked over at Daxter and muttered "W-where am I?"

"JAK! Thank the Precursors your alive buddy!" Daxter said jumping up and down excitedly.

"Wait…what's going on here?" Jak asked.

"You passed out when you tried to fight the Metal Heads. You've been out for a few hours; you've got a concussion and some second degree burns that should heal up all right." Daxter said.

Jak shook his head and said "What happened to the City Dax?"

"It...it's bad Jak. The city was in flames and Metal Heads were just leaving when we flew away...it looked like half the city was destoryed" Daxter said with a sad look.

"Dax...what about Keira?" Jak asked in a low voice.

"Jak...I...she..." Daxter fell silent.

"Damn them...they'll pay!" Jak growled, clenching his fists, a small amount of Dark Eco discharging from his body as he uttered the final word.

Daxter looked at Jak, who sighed after a few moments as his anger was forced down and suppressed and said "Dax, where are we anyway?"

"On board some floating transport HQ or something. These guys called the Avenging Angels saved us from the Metal Heads and now we're on their ship. The chick in purple armor called Rune was interested in some of our adventures, said that you'd make a good one of them." Daxter said.

"So, these guys hunt Metal Heads?" Jak asked.

"Yeah, I told them you wouldn't-" Daxter began to say before Jak pressed the red button on the wall.

"Jak! What are you doing?" Daxter asked nervously.

"Joining these guys. If they're taking out Metal Heads, then I'm on board." Jak said with a fierce grin.

Daxter said a four letter word that rhymed with "spit" and said "Why does this always happen to me?"
