Chapter 1

I smiled as me, Daxter, and Jak snook out and took a boat. We headed to Misty Island I was steering the boat, Daxter was messing with the water, and Jak was laying there relaxing. Daxter fell out and I stopped the boat. I started laughing and Jak helped Daxter back in the boat. I smiled and put the boat at full speed.

As we pulled up to the pier at Misty Island I muttered, "Man, and I thought this place was creepy from far away." Jak hopped out. Daxter and I followed behind him.

We started walking around and Daxter said, "Hey! Didn't old green stuff tell us not to come here?" We walked around exploring for a little while looking at creepy bones and stuff. When we came across a lot of monsters gathered suddenly poof two people appeared.

The creepy old looking man spoke first, "Continue your search for artifacts and eco. The locals poses precursor items you know what to do."

The creepy looking lady spoke next, " Get rid of anyone who strays from the village. We will attack it in due time." After that we climbed down from the rock we had been spying from and cautiously explored more.

Daxter spoke nervously, "What are we even doing here Jak? This place gives me the creeps."

I glared at him, "You know Daxter I am here to. And it makes me want to hurt you when you talk to my brother an you know he is a mute, "I looked at Jak, "No offense to you Jak your still my brother even if you are a mute." I grinned at him and he shook his head and smirked back.

We came to this kind of mechanical machine things area. I heard Dax trip and looked back. Jak chuckled and Daxter looked at what he tripped over, "Huh, ah stupid precursor junk." When I looked at Jak he was staring at a pool of dark eco. I walked over and so did Daxter. Daxter stared at it and asked, " Yuck what is that dark ooze? It sure doesn't look friendly."

I rolled my eyes and said, " Oh no Daxter I'm sure it wants to be your friend. Its Dark Eco. You would know that if you ever listened to a word Shamus said."

Daxter blew on a object that looked precursor, "Yeah Yeah Yeah the sages yap on and on about the precursor that built this place.' Then daxter did a terrible impersonation of Shamus the green eco sage, 'Where did they go? Why did they build this crap?' I rolled my eyes and looked at Jak the precursor thing he was holding was glowing. Dax continued, "Now I like precursor orbs and power cells as much as the next guy. But if you ask me they must have been real losers. Woah how did you do that?' Suddenly a huge monster fell from above us,"Woah I think were in trouble."

Jak charged it and threw the precursor thing at it. It blew up and Jak was flung back and accidentally pushed Daxter into the pool of dark eco. I looked and downed and muttered, "Ah man poor Daxter." Suddenly wham a fuzzy orange ball of fur shoot out and hit me back.

It sat up on my stomach and said in Daxters voice, "Man that stung."I groaned in pain as it got up and walked over to Jak. It talked again and said, " I told you we shouldn't have come here. If you'd listened... What?" I sat up and stared at the fuzzy orange ottsel on the ground. It looked at itself and started yelling, "AH!... Okay okay im fine im fine...AH!"

I muttered in pain, "Daxter?" He nodded and bit his paws nails. I said, " I am not hallucinating am i?' Jak shook his head, "Okay then we should go see if Shamus can fix Daxter." We ran to the boat and went back to the village. We all carefully sneaked up to Shamus's house. Daxter started walking in first and made a small creaking noise.

Shamus turned around fast and yelled, "What in green tarnation do you three want?"

Jak was about to talk when Dax stuttered, "WE was. they was. I. I wass."

Then Shamus yelled, "Dont tell me. Instead of heeding my wisdom the three of you went mucking around at the only place I told you not to go, 'he looked out the window, 'Misty Island."

Then Daxter said, "Yeah and-"

Shamus cut him off and said, "And Daxter you finally took a much needed bath but in a bath tub filled with Dark Eco."

Daxter got annoyed and yelled, "Look old man are you gonna keep yapin or help me out of this mess." I laughed a little.

He looked down at Daxter and yelled, "I'm gonna keep yakin because in my professional opinion. The change is an improvement. Plus I couldn't help you if I wanted to."

Daxter jumped up in the air and yelled, "What?" I started backing out slowly.

Then Shamus said sounding all Sage ish, "Stay Rachel. There is only one person who has studied dark eco long enough to know how to change you back to your original form, Ghal Akaran the sage. But he lives far to the north far far to the north. Nobody has spoke to him in ages I would teleport you there, but I can't do that either none of the three sages that own the other teleporter gates have seen fit to turn them on in quite awhile. The only other way north is on foot through the fire canyon. But the ground is hot enough to burn precursor metal. You can't just walk through it." I was half way a sleep when Kiera walked in. Jak and Daxter were staring at her like morons.

Kiera said, "But you could fly over it. If you had a zoomer you could use the heat shield. And it just so happens I am working on one at this very moment. All you need is 20 power cells to give it enough fuel to withstand the canyons heat. Is int that right daddy?"

Shamus thoughtfully said, "Yes Kiera I guess that could work, but where are a girl, boy, and a half going to get twenty power cells."

I practically yelled, "Oh my gosh Jak how do you not talk I mean its just them blah blah. I am going to die from not speaking. I am not trying to be rude but ah." I panted.

Kiera asked nicely, "Finished?' I nodded, "Okay well they could get them from the villagers. Most of them have a power cell or two stashed away somewhere. And even if they aren't willing to just give them away greasing there palms with a few precursor orbs should do the trick. And I bet there are more out in the wild just waiting for some brave adventurer to find." Kiera started batting her eyes at Jak. I tapped my foot one the ground and glared at her hitting on my brother.

Daxter flexed his arms and said, "Well we got the brave adventurer at least."

Shamus said, "You a brave adventurer. You three couldn't find your way out of the village without training. Before you do anything else you better go through the warp gate and get some practice on geyser rock."

Daxter stood on the ground and started making motions with his hands, "We are not going to find anyone more of that dark gooey eco stuff are we? Because I would hate to fall in again and turn into Shamus."

Shamus yelled and pointed at the warp gate, "Get in there before I turn you all into ferns." I shrugged then jumped through. Jak and Daxter followed after me.

Once we got to geyser rock I said, "Okay lets go find some power cells and precursor orbs."

Daxter jumped on my shoulder. He laughed and said, " Jak your sister think she is tough enough to help she is so full of her self.' He impersonated me and said, 'Oh look at me I'm Rachel I am so tough with my long blonde hair and my pretty blue eyes." I grabbed Daxter by the neck and threw him next to Jak.

I said, "Don't mess with me ottsel lets go." We ran around collecting orbs until we came to a training dummy. I stepped forward, jumped up, and kicked it in the chest bulls eye part. Jak raised an eyebrow and gave me a look that said dang. I smiled and said, "What am I suppose to do when you guys leave me at home."

As we went on I heard Daxter say, "Yeah lets leave her at home next time." I rolled my eyes and we went on collecting orbs and power cells.
