Disclaimer: Im saying this once and only once, Jak II and all of its enterprizes belong to naughty dog. But my involvment in its plot is all mine, and technically Pat belongs to himself too...

"Today's the big day Jak, I hope you are prepared… for whatever happens." The dynamic duo stood at the dock between Samos' hut and the rest of the village. Mounted on a particular spot on the marina Samos' daughter called her lab, was a precursor device they had uncovered recently, and brought to Kiera's lab. The warm ocean wind blew in Jaks face as he smiled down to the sage who acted as a father to him. And he couldn't help but smile at the Sage's daughter, whom he had always had a bit of a crush on. And just as Samos finished, his daughter spoke herself, Jak turning to Kiera attentively. His best friend relaxing in the boredom he saw in putting this hunk of junk together.

"I think I've figured out most of this machine. It interacts somehow with that large Precursor ring. I just hope we didn't break anything bringing it here to the lab…" she placed her hand on her handiwork eagerly as she spoke to the two of them, pretty much completely ignoring the orange ottsel who up to this point appeared to be sleeping on the hood of the contraption. She sat down in the seat and Jak eagerly came up next to her. His move was interrupted however as Daxter, the ottsel, jumped up between them, staring at the board of keys that supposedly worked the device.

"Easy for you to say, we did all the heavy lifting!" he eyed Jak as he spoke, as if he had done the bulk of the work and Jak had just helped. Kiera just seemed to smile politely at him as he went off on his tangent. As he reached to touch one of the pieces to the machine, he jerked his finger back as he heard Samos yell at him.

"Daxter! Don't touch anything!" The old man climbed up in the tree, his little bird fluttering on his head as he came up to the three of them, his wizened voice pretentiously speaking as Jak rolled his eyes mockingly. The sage didn't seem to notice however and continued. "Though the precursors vanished long ago, the artifacts they left behind can still do great harm!" His bird seemed to emphasize ever word as he fluttered silently each time he moved to simulate his expression. His daughter once again continued his sentence moments after he finished speaking, as if she had hung on his every word.

"Or great good, if you figure out how to use them!" the old man settled down in the chair wearily as they readied themselves for whatever was to happen when they started up the foreign machine.

"I have had some experience with these things. I know you can make it work." Although it was faint, the old man beamed with pride at his daughter as she looked over the keys on the dashboard. Jak watched them as well and his eyes settled on a large red jewel of a button that was directly in front of him, and in the center of the dashboard. He hesitated slowly as he reached in to press it, and as he did, the little machine whirred to life. Dax grinned triumphantly at the reaction Jaks action had caused.

"Looks like Jaks still got the mojo!" he waved his hands presentatively as Kiera leaned in at the little contraption that had suddenly opened, revealing a small orb of energy surrounded by two spinning rings that stated coordinates in precursor.

"Interesting… It appears to be reading out some preset coordinates…" she grinned widely at the others as if this were a great accomplishment. Suddenly the machine in total jerked sharply and the gigantic precursor ring in front of them broke away from the dock it was set up on and began to float on its own, a swirling vortex appearing in its center. They all jumped as a swarm of black flying creatures swarmed out of the gateway like bats out of a cave. A mysterious and dark voice emerged from the gate.

"Finally! The last rift gate has been opened!" The sky suddenly went dark and the creatures swarmed like demons around the machine and its vortex. Daxter yelled out and shrunk into the chair as the creatures emerged, hiding behind the dashboard fearfully.

"What are those things?!" Although, Samos had quite a different expression from the three beside him, Jak and Kiera looked on in curious wonder, while Daxter sat in anxious anticipation, but Samos watched the creatures almost knowingly, whispering to himself as the creatures filled the air and the day became night.

"So this is how it happened…" They were pulled from their thoughts as a larger creature suddenly appeared from the gate, roaring and speaking in the deep voice heard before. Its face was adorned by a giant gemstone similar to the ones of those creatures that flew around him, yet it was massive in comparison, nearly the size of the creatures themselves. It spoke with a voice of malice as it stared at the small group before it.

"You cannot hide from me boy!" Kiera gripped Jaks arm fearfully and pleaded his action, Daxter was busy staring at the device they sat in, pressing as many buttons as possible in an attempt to make the thing move so that they could get away from the massive monster that floated before them.

"What's this do? O-or that! How 'bout this one? Everybody, press all the buttons!" Daxter was busy freaking out and Kiera was too fear stricken to do anything but stare up at the beast, Samos appeared to look on with a reserved patience. Suddenly, Jak pressed the red gem again and they were suddenly launched into motion, rushing right beneath the monsters body and into the swirling vortex from which it had emerged.

Elseware…

"Man I love this part!" A girl giggled excitedly as she bounced on the couch in her friend's basement, they both sat on the couch, one playing their favorite videogame, a series game called Jak II. The boy playing had already beaten the game and was playing for the girl sitting next to him. She wore a wide grin on her face as she saw her favorite character, a jerk named Erol strut on to the scene as they watched the scene pan out. Even as the scene played itself the two of them started arguing with condescending smirks on both of their faces. It was the kind of fight everyone knows would never end until they got bored since both had such egos about the game that neither admitted defeat.

"Who cares what you think Pat?! Everyone knows Erol is gay and that's why he's so attractive. Women love a bastard, why do you think Andrea went for Johnson? A sense of danger is always attractive, and all women find gay men attractive, they just don't know it yet!" The boy waved her off as he turned back to the game.

"Ah you don't know what you're talking about Nik." She looked at him indignantly, apparently still wanting to fight. But was interrupted as the lights flickered and then went out. Pat's mother came down the stairs holding a flashlight and pointed it at the two of them, Pat abruptly hissing as a joke.

"Are you kids alright? It seems we've had a blackout due to the storm.." Indeed, snow already had covered the small privacy window above the couch and the wind could be heard from the blizzard outside. As Pat continued to hide from the flashlight, Nik smiled politely and nodded.

"we're fine Mrs. Pats Mom" At that moment, the lights flickered back on and the television and game came back. Pat cussed sharply. As the beginning theme started up for the game, but strangely the game had started anew instead of restarting in the intro to the options.

"Damn it! We lost all that stuff we did!" The words passed over the screen but we ignored it. As pat growled and sat down on the couch, pressing the start button to skip the intro. He snarled more as the game refused to comply. "Stupid snowstorm. It better not have broken my PS2…" Nik laughed and waved her finger teasingly.

"What're you gonna do? Beat up a snowstorm? You couldn't even beat up a person with your physique." He growled darkly and reminded her that he did take karate. She suddenly was not focused on that, as she stared over his shoulder. Nik stepped over the coffee table without even looking at it, as if memorized by the screen. It had suddenly changed into a purple and black vortex and Nik spoke out softly.

"It never did that before…" She touched the screen as Pat bewilderedly asked her what she was doing and suddenly the screen seemed to disappear and she was dragged into the swirling gate, and Pat was dragged in as well… The TV suddenly shut off in the room, and left it completely silent, only the howling wind from the snowstorm heard.

1. This wasn't some ploy to make sure you don't know whom we are, I just always call the friends of my parents like that.. Mr. Andrea's Dad and such. Its just sommat I do.

Nik: I decided to redo the fic where I get dragged into Jak II now that I actually have a completed game with all the screenplayers. I hope my enthusiasm from seeing a shirtless Erol (THANK YOU KRIMZON1 YOU ARE A GODDESSS!!!!!) will last with this one so I can actually write it without writers block or my muse walking out on me again.
