Part 1: Torn's Will.
Torn looked at the young man suspiciously. "Alright, We'll talk. IF you can retrieve Praxis´s banner from atop the Ruined Tower."
Torn chuckled. "Good Luck." Jak strolled out of the Slums, Daxter perched on his shoulder. "So, The Ruined Tower huh?" Daxter yapped on about how this was unfair and how Torn should be put in his place, all the way until they finally came to the bolted iron door that lead out of the city to the Tower. Jak approached the door carefully, warily. Then suddenly it opened up to reveal a man standing in the shadows of the small room they were in now.
"Who are you?!" Jak demanded, Daxter shaking his fist angrily.
"I am your guide around Haven.." the man stepped into the light.
He was tall and muscular, with tan skin and a rough face. He wore black leather and mail armor and carried a huge Peacemaker. A sword and dagger were strapped to his belt.
"My name is Kaz, I work for Torn." Jak glared at Kaz, not believing one word. "Well if you were truly sent by Torn then I suppose you are here to help." Kaz grinned darkly. "Yes, the Ruined Tower is no playground. Mutated creatures roam there and the swamp is lethal to those that fall in.
"And the Tower itself.. Well lets just say years of neglect have left it.. Unstable." Kaz waved at the next iron door and it opened slowly. "Shall we get going then?"
Part Two: Top of the Ruined Tower.
As the three entered the first thing noticeable was the smell. Then the green frog things and the brown crocodile.. Things.
"Beware these monsters, they have relations to the Lurkers of old." Daxter rolled his eyes at this, for apparent reasons.
Kaz unstrapped his Peacemaker and aimed it at the two closest frog things. One blast and all that was left were bits of green skin falling to the ground. "Impressive.." Jak remarked.
"Hah, no big!" Daxter jumped off Jak's shoulder and walked to another monster that was roughly his size. he drew his foot back and kicked it in the side. He screamed in pain as his foot bounced off the scaly hide. The beast opened its mouth and drew in a deep breath. "Look out!" Kaz yelled as he whipped out his dagger and threw it at the monster. It pierced the hide and the beast went down with a horrible screeching noise. Jak ran to Daxter and picked up the fear-frozen ottsel. "Keep that pet of yours checked!" Kaz spat. Daxter recovered and went red in the face. (Well as red as was visible beneath the fur) "I will have you know that I am a great hero and jak would be nothing without me you-you..muffgh meeffph!" Jak clasped his hand over Daxter's mouth. "Dax calm down." He hissed. Kaz shook his head.
"Come on." The three spent a good hour and a half trekking up the ruins and batting away swamp beasts. Then Finally they reached the stairs leading to the top. "Be careful here, these stairs could fall from under your feet in an instant." Kaz took a carefull step, then another and another, until he reached the top.
Jak did the same. And there it was, Baron Praxis's banner. It was perched on a ledge leading from the tower. Kaz gestured towards it. "Go ahead, take it." Jak looked at Kaz suspiciously and stepped on to the ledge. he walked carefully towards the banner then grasped it and triumphantly pulled it up. The floor shook and the ledge cracked. Kaz ran out on the ledge. "Jump!" He yelled and jumped off onto a rope below and slid down onto the ground. Jak did the same while poor Daxter fell and bounced off the rope to the ground. Torn was waiting by the metal door into the city. "Yeah, I guess you guys are in."
Part Three: Metal Head Menace.
Kaz showed Jak and his rodent to the sewage line out of the city.
"Were here.. I'd strap my belt on tight mate.. It's crawlin' with Metal Heads out there." Kaz hefted his Peacemaker and walked through the heavy metal doors. They were instantly met with a Metal Head charging at them, screaming. Kaz just grinned and blasted it. A glowing gold gem landed right by them. Kaz saw jak look at it with greed in his eyes.
"Those are Skull Gems, they aint called Metal Heads for nothing."
He sighed and picked it up with a throw Jak caught it and Kaz said. "I guess you can keep whatever we find, You'll be needin' em since they are quite the rarity around the city."
Jak looked at the gem grinning and nodding as he placed it into his pack. Things went much the same from there, Metal heads were blasted and punched as they traveled through the Pumping Station. They found the drain and turned it on. Walking back to the city Kaz sent Jak in to see Torn while he waited outside.
Jak walked out and clearly had another mission.
"So what now?.." Kaz knew what was coming.. It had been his job before the boy came along demanding some work. The job was simple. Get into the ammo dump near the city walls and blow it up. It had been to Kaz´s liking. Constant patrols, loads of KG bots and guns.. But he didn't mind some help.
Jak was already walking out of the alley. "You coming Kaz?"
He just grinned.
"Yeah Im comin'.. But do you mind a little sidetrip?"
