Description Haven Chronicles: Liberation

--Chapter 11-- (day 06)

Perhaps once it could have been a person, a human but the creature that stood before Ghost was not.. Its skin was pale like death its body carried 4 huge arms that looked like tentacles its legs were chained to the back wall a series of scars were visible though its heavy cloth like clothing, and if that wasn’t troubling enough the creature was 10 feet tall. One thing was for sure this wasn’t Jak. Someone had set them up..   

Things were rapidly going from bad to worse in the prison as an emergency lock down was initiated, Large blast door sealed both Ghost and Law inside the chamber and its otter corridor.  Ghost’s instant reaction was threat analysis; like a machine he studied the creatures every feature building a mental breakdown in his head, The arms were the most dangerous thing each was strong looking with claws on them they could have reached him if the creature wasn’t chained to the wall. Ghost raised his pistol as Law came though the inner door, taking one look at the dark eyed creature he shouted “You have got to be shiting me!” The room was covered in bodies of KG and there toward the back, the creature.  Law grabbed his shock rifle making sure it was fully charged as the creature let out a roar and in a flash of strength smashed the restrains that were holding its now busted legs in place.

A piecing ROAR filled the large area as the creature Ghost saw marked on its arms (JE1) The creature was a weapon a filed one at that. The creature fell on its chest, JE1 had smashed the bones in its legs trying to break free but now it was more then capable of reaching them with those arms. The first swipe was met with a stream of plasma from Law`s rifle as Ghost began running and shooting around the outside of the large dome shaped cell. If he could distract the creature Law could attack its weak spot; its neck, while JE1 was tough the neck was weaker and exposed. The plan seemed to be working though with JE1 going after Ghost Law moved in around its back and started to climb up. Then it happened; the movement was so fast Ghost couldn’t even react, with a rush of energy it grabbed Law in a tentacle arm that emerged from its back. Law was helpless as Ghost fired, but it was no good a heavy swipe smashed him against the wall he tried to get up but could only watch in horror as his partner was crashed in JE1`s hand then thrown against the opposite wall. He didn’t move…


--Chapter 12--

It was at this time Ghost felt something he hadn’t in a long time His veins filled with a surge of dark eco and his eyes glowed a furious dark blue. The pain was gone the whole world vanished around him, the only thing that existed in his mind now was JE1 and himself. Launching into the air in a superhuman jump he landed on the opposite side of the room and took the blade that his fallen comrade had attached on his back and came face to face with his enemy.

The massive creature roared at him in anger until Ghost swiped and cut its arms clean in half, dark blood rained down. Ghost repositioned as the remaining 2 arms tried to grab him; they missed but the same arm that arm that it had used on Law burst out, it moved almost as if by itself, razor sharp claws extended out and aimed for Ghost. The killer blow was immanent but at that moment the arm exploded in a shower of blood. “hes…al. yours….” Law called weakly holding a small bomb trigger. Ghost nodded and  jumped up blade in hand and slammed it down on JE1`a neck the force was so hard it snapped the blade but not before severing several vital nerves and killing the creature as it filled the cell with one final scream of pain.  
The creature was history. But the cost was high; Ghost jumped off the huge body and crouched over the body of his fallen comrade. He was dieing and there was nothing Ghost could do to save him. Law was in deep pain “We sure…. Kicked his ugly ass” Law winced in pain as he started to lose color in his face. “Don’t talk just hold on!” Ghost tried his best to patch up his partners wounds but it was to late.  “You know… what you have…to do” Ghost hesitated then pulled out his Pistol. Law used the last of his strength to pull it to his chest. The shot killed him instantly but sound would forever be echoed in Ghosts mind.  

--Chapter 13--  

-2 hours later-

The extraction team had arrived. Maya had found Ghost first, she could see by his face that he was in pain. He just sat at the rear of the transport head down with his eyes open a look of deep sorrow on his cold face. He hadn’t said a word. All they knew is when they found him outside the rounded cell he was covered in blood and carried a pair of ID tags. It was apparent that they were Law’s. Maya knew he wouldn’t want to talk so just told Daxter to dust off. Behind them in the now dark storm the prison erupted in flames as several charges and incendiary devices exploded destroying the prison as the transport carried the sole survivor home Ghost said a silent goodbye to his deceased friend.

Epilogue… (Day 07)

When Ghost returned home he was given his usual debriefing. Torn had given him a hard time saying “the loss of a HDF member was unacceptable” Ghost had reached breaking point with Torn though “Ive had about enough of your bullshit!” walking out he slammed his HDF tags on the main control room table and walked out never saying a word.  Ghost was done taking orders. Outside Maya and Daxter were waiting “so what now boss?” Daxter asked “Im not your boss anymore as of right now Im no longer HDF” Maya nodded and took out her tags along with Daxter “then neither are we” It was a powerful moment Ghost had never really had friends who were willing to stick by him no matter what. “thank you” he said quietly and together the three left for there ship never looking back.  

-2 weeks later- (Day 21)

“Your sure you want to do this?” Maya asked Ghost looked at her with those deep blue eyes “I`m sure and since there not going to help us.. were on our own, partner” he looked around and saw Daxter working on the transport in the distance “or should I say “partners” The two shook hands as Ghost looked at the time machine they had kept in secret from Torn and the HDF “This is the only way Im sure of it” Maya took his hand in hers “your not alone anymore were in this together until the end” with the two now facing a task that could save the world Ghost and Maya kissed as the sun descended on the small island Daxter had found for the small group of renegades..
