Dark Jak continued stabbing the Dalek creature, seemingly unaware of Daxter being free. \u201cDad! DAD!\u201d called Markus as Layla checked on Daxter. Dark Jak glared at Markus. \u201cDad, Uncle Daxter\u2019s okay! \u2026You ARE okay, right, Uncle Daxter?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cListen to your kid, Jak,\u201d said Daxter. \u201cI\u2019m fine now.\u201d Dark Jak saw that Daxter was okay, then he took deep breaths to calm down as he returned to his normal self. He was taking deep breaths to calm down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Haven\u2019t gone dark since the kids were born,\u201d said Jak. \u201cDidn\u2019t wanna harm them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIs that why you kept taking deep breaths whenever you got mad at me?\u201d asked Markus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Yes. Markus, you know how much of a short temper I have. I can\u2019t afford to lose it or Dark Jak would hurt you. \u2026I can\u2019t have that on my conscience. \u2026But that anger is born from fear.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFear?\u201d asked Layla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t wanna lose you,\u201d explained Daxter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, I have to keep a lid on my temper, otherwise\u2026otherwise I\u2019d make that nightmare come true by hurting you,\u201d said Jak. Markus then gave his father a hug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLayla and I were being stupid,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo, I\u2019m sorry,\u201d said Jak. \u201cI threw you headfirst into this adventure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo, Uncle Jak, we took those steps,\u201d replied Layla. \u201cAnd now\u2026well, I paid the price.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026How about we skip the grounding and just get my kid cured and toss the Daleks out of our homes?\u201d suggested Daxter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSounds like a plan,\u201d agreed Jak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the scene unfolded before the group, Megatron smiled. Galvatron looked to his father. \u201c\u2026If I did something like this-?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m pretty sure you wouldn\u2019t have been grounded so many times, my boy,\u201d replied Megatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoctor, I thought Jak\u2019s shot would have killed that thing immediately,\u201d said Farmee as he, Jack, and the Doctor examined the now truly dead Dalek. Death swung her scythe and severed the Dalek\u2019s soul from its mortal frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt must have been the Dark Eco that kept it alive,\u201d replied the Doctor. She started working on the casing\u2019s internal systems. \u201cLet\u2019s see, if I attach that wire here, engage the holographic display like so\u2026aha! Here we are!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d asked Jack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cArchived monitor data relating to the experiment!\u201d explained the Doctor. She got the eyestalk to move upwards and project a hologram of Intrag and a few Daleks at the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll equipment prepared!\u201d barked the Dalek Supreme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen let\u2019s see how well a Dalek can handle Dark Eco,\u201d replied Intrag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWarning!\u201d called a scientist Dalek. \u201cDirect injection of Dark Eco is likely to cause unwanted mutations! Mental stability of test subject at risk! Haven City\u2019s Dark Warrior is necessary to successfully filter out all ill effects.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe can\u2019t afford to delay!\u201d snarled Intrag. \u201cBegin the experiment!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI obey!\u201d replied the scientist Dalek. It linked the test subject to the machine. \u201cConnections established! Eco Injectors online!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDark Eco from smaller silo above now being injected into Dalek organism through casing nutrient feed!\u201d reported the assistant Dalek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDark Eco levels rising!\u201d called a third Dalek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAlert! Alert!\u201d warned the first scientist Dalek. \u201cEnergy levels climbing to unsafe levels!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDisengage test subject!\u201d ordered the Dalek Supreme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cUnable to regain control!\u201d replied the scientist Dalek. \u201cDark Eco now mutating organism! Mental stability at risk!\u201d The Dalek test subject started screaming!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAlert! Alert! Move away from the test subject!\u201d warned the Dalek Supreme. \u201cArm weapons!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBelay that!\u201d ordered Intrag. \u201cThe test subject must stay alive!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMutations accelerating!\u201d warned the scientist Dalek. \u201cArming weapons! Targeting creature!\u201d It aimed its gunstick at the test subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s one of your kind!\u201d protested Intrag. \u201cWe can\u2019t afford to-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo! No!\u201d replied the Dalek Supreme. \u201cThat creature is no longer a Dalek! There must be no genetic impurities! Exterminate the creature!\u201d The test subject broke free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCreature is freed!\u201d called a Dalek. \u201cExterminate! EXTERMINATE!\u201d It fired on the test subject, but nothing happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCreature\u2019s shielding altered!\u201d warned the scientist Dalek. \u201cRecalibra-!\u201d The test subject then fired a stream of purple light from its gunstick, ripping a hole into the scientist Dalek. It then fired on the other Daleks and the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis facility is lost!\u201d shouted Intrag. \u201cAll survivors, evacuate to the Acheron Citadel! Intrag to Scorpion<\/em>! One to return!\u201d The Dalek Supreme and two other survivors then flew into the air and abandoned Misty Island while Intrag vanished. The Doctor then switched the feed off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI rather think we have all we need,\u201d she muttered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe\u2019ll have to get to this Acheron Citadel,\u201d said Farmee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe best way would be to warp directly to the Yellow Eco Sage\u2019s lab,\u201d replied Jak. \u201cThat\u2019s where Drebber lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Drebber lives in Gol and Maia\u2019s old citadel?\u201d muttered Megatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Everyone returned to the mainland and explained the situation. \u201cI\u2019ll see if I can have Torn spare the Haven Guard,\u201d said Jak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd I\u2019ll have my citadel guards on standby when they arrive,\u201d said Drebber. \u201cI better tell Murda too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMurda?\u201d asked Farmee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMy wife, a Robber Lurker from the old Precursor Basin. She\u2019s the Sage of Light Eco and works with the monks outside Spargus sometimes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA Lurker studying Light Eco?\u201d asked Megatron. \u201cInteresting.\u201d Jak and Drebber made their calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThanks, Torn,\u201d said Jak when he finished. He turned to the team. \u201cThe Haven Guard\u2019s gonna be joining us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd Murda\u2019s been made aware of what\u2019s going on,\u201d said Drebber. \u201cShe and Health will meet us all in the Yellow Sage\u2019s Lab.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe\u2019ll follow the Haven Guard in alt-mode,\u201d said Galvatron. \u201cYou guys go through the warp gate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGood luck,\u201d said Farmee. \u201cEveryone, let\u2019s get going.\u201d Kiera set the warp gate to the Yellow Sage\u2019s lab and everyone human-sized and smaller went through. Megatron, Galvatron, and Hot Rod transformed and sped off, leading the Haven Guard to the north. First they went over the Fire Canyon now that roads with heat shields were established, then they went through Rock Village, then over another bridge over lava, then through the mountain pass, then across the roads surrounding the volcanic crater the Red Eco Sage made his home in, then through the Lava Tube to the Yellow Sage\u2019s lab, meeting with everyone there. A female Robber Lurker in white robes then hugged Drebber. As they discussed the situation, Farmee saw a woman in a purple dress with purple skin. He approached the woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLady Health, I presume?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026You presume correctly,\u201d replied the woman. She then saw Death. \u201cMy sister!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHello again, Health,\u201d said Death as she hugged Health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDeath, what\u2019s going on?\u201d asked Health. \u201cWhat are those people at the silo and what are they doing with the Daleks?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Lady Health,\u201d said Farmee, \u201cyou may want to sit down.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dark Jak continued stabbing the Dalek creature, seemingly unaware of Daxter being free. \u201cDad!
