Descent [Dark Data]

[Jak Mar]

Jak was tired as much as he was sweating but Desman and Dante seemed too quiet. He had not seen signs of the two since he was fighting the darklings. He looked around, worried for his ally and teammate. "Dante? Desman?!"

Desman was a capable fighter when it came to various areas but he still worried about his teammates, but Dante was on his mind the most. Not only was Dante a capable fighter, he could handle his own in a fight, but why was he not around?


“SHIT, Dante!”

“He’s fine, you idiot”-  Jak's dark side insulted him within his head.

Jak growled, still in a panic "Dante and Des, they- we can't lose.. them.  How could they survive that?"

Well more in a panic than usual. 

The eco warrior eyed the others to see how their reactions were to the disappearance of two of their allies. 

Zedd growled just looking at Jak and the others "Do I have to do everything MYSELF?! "So what if those two are dead, anyway? Useless fools is all they were."

Jak should've went up to choke Zedd by his words alone to blatantly disrespect Dante and Desman's sacrifice like that. He held his tongue and saved it, however. Words didn't count, actions did.

Jak couldn't help but be conflicted,however. 

His head said one thing, his heart said another. 

He was slowly piecing together details.

As the creatures came to a slowing after a large smash of one of the tentacles, it made Jak roll away from likely sharing the same fate, luckily.

Morene was sharing her own sense of the pain, trying to figure out just where the two of them had gone after likely being smashed.  A path was carved out for the liberation group thanks to Dante.

But there were still the stubborn darklings trying to push and pull the liberators out of their ideal "zone".

One darkling grabbed ahold of Jak's skirt and almost began to pull. Jak felt the pull and he had to stomp on the creature's hand to force it to let go of him.

The creature recoiled in anger and then Jak stepped on its head.

Guilt stirred up in Jak's mind.

"Guilt is a fool's game."

Jak hadn't gotten past that moral dilemma quite but these guys were destroying the world they were in, they had to die.

"ENOUGH" Jak held his head and growled.

His light had held him back too long from doing what he needed to do.

"Kill them all" 

"NO!"


 Jak felt held back by the light and stepped back, holding his head again.
 
“STOP IT! I don’t want to be you again!”
 
“Don’t you get it, Jak. I AM YOU.”
 
The knife-eared hero sighed and lighting sparked around him but he quickly stopped.
