The Masked Racer: a Jak and Daxter Racing story

Chapter one: It began with disobeying

(A.N Greetings and salutations to all to my newest story of Jak and Daxter. As you know I don't own Jak and Daxter all I own is Talya. So with out further or due on with the story.)

In the world of Jak and Daxter there has been many things that have happened to Jak, Daxter and Talya from defeating Dark Nacreous, beating some metal heads and even taking down the Dark Makers. In this story that happened after the events of Jak 3, we find Jak, Daxter and Talya at their apartment in Heaven City just as he was getting ready to leave to Kras City. Talya looking into the eyes of her true love Jak as she pleaded with him for she wanted go with him to Kras City.

Talya pleading said, "Why can't go I with you Jak?"

Looking into her eyes Jak said, "Because Talya it's too dangerous for someone inexperienced as you are to be in Kras City. So stay here in Heaven City until I get back got it."

Taking him into her arms Talya said, "Just be careful Jak, I don't want to lose you as what had happened during the time that we fought Errol and the dark makers."

Pulling her close and rubbing her back Jak said, "You won't need to worry Talya. I'm just going to Kras City for the reading of a will I should be back soon okay."

Putting on his jacket and goggles Jak kissed Talya good bye went to his car and in a cloud of smoke drove off leaving Talya and Vixie waving good bye as he headed to Kras City a place of danger, crime and intrigue. In the meantime Talya not wanting to be left out of the action went to her room where she pulled out a case that hung in the back of the closet. Opening the case Talya thought, 'Jak if you think that I'm missing out on this adventure you have one thing coming and that's when it comes to racing I have become as good as you have.'

Jumping on the bed Vixie asked, "What you planning to do Talya. Jak said you had to stay here."

Putting on her clothes Talya said, "Vixie, there is nothing to worry about what Jak doesn't know won't hurt us. Besides you want to get out of this city as much as I do right."

Shaking her fur Vixie replied, "Yes I guess so."

Putting on the jacket Talya said, "Then stop being a worry wart everything will be alright my skills as a racer are second to Jak's besides I placed first in the Class 3, and 2 races."

As Talya put on the her racing clothes which was a black shirt, a pair of tight leather pants and the leather jacket that Sig had given for the arena battle she won while Jak was in Heaven City fighting Errol. After Talya was fully dressed, putting on a pair of blue tinted goggles on her head and finishing off by placing her shades on her face to cover her eyes.

Putting on a pair shades as well Talya said, "Vixie, when we get to Kras City we are going to take the racing world by storm. So let's head out."

Getting into a metallic blue and silver car Talya turned on engine and rush of adrenaline sped off in a blaze of smoke and glory as she too was headed to Kras City. The place where law and order was just talk and crime ruled it all.

Meanwhile Jak and Daxter arrived in Kras City with the nastiest welcome one could ever get namely where criminals in racecars would shoot first and not ask questions. Jak revved his engine and pressing a button on the dash near the steering wheel where he fired off a missile thus blowing the cars that were chasing him to shit. With the welcoming party taken care of Jak and Daxter arrived at the Inn where they settled in for something to eat and to get ready for the next day which was they had to meet for the reading of a will. As the night set in Jak took off his jacket and rested his head against the headboard of his bed where he passed out. Daxter went over to remote to see what was on the T.V. where he noticed a guy talking about the Kras City racing circuit. Daxter thought to himself, 'I should go out and check the many different bars to see what kind of people live here.' Daxter walked over to the door where he went out to go bar hopping. Three days later Talya had arrived in Kras City, where the same group that greeted Jak and Daxter earlier greeted her. The racers revved their motors as they began shooting at her, Talya pulling down her goggles and hiding her face she activated the guns on her machine as she shot the tires clean off to where the jerks were without their wheels. With that done Talya screeched to a stop where she blew them a kiss and in final gesture Talya sent a missile in which blew the other racers to shit. Talya got back in the drivers seat where she headed to the exact same bar that at same moment Daxter was at.

At a bar Daxter standing on the bar as he began telling his and Jak's tale of how they were greeted in Kras City.

Daxter said, "There we were head to head with some of the nastiest racers one had ever laid eyes on. Really sharp metal glowing in the darkness, weapons so lethal that if you were shot by them you'd be dead on sight."

As he was pouring Daxter a drink, the guy said, "Sounds you and your friend had a run in with the Kras City's welcoming party. Here is a drink buddy. They have been known to shoot who or what ever enters this place."

Daxter continuing said, "As I was saying who ever they are they should have known that Jak and I are really famous racers. You see we were invited to hear the reading of some will, a wealthy guy named Krew."

Another guy said, "You mean the gang lord."

As Daxter was telling his story about what they did Jak having seen that Daxter had not returned to their room he put on his jacket, his goggles, his boots and in a rush grabbed his keys where he headed out the door to find his friend. Jak revved his engine to find his friend only to encounter more racers trying to kill him, but as he was about to get shot at a mysterious masked racer took out the trash as he took the ones that were trying to play chicken. Jak having no time to spare followed the masked driver to the bar where Daxter was hanging out.

Daxter said, "Yeah We use to be his bad ass muscle in Heaven City what he wanted done we did it, but lard ass dropped over dead. Anyway where was I ah yeah there we were surrounded by them with the smell of fear lingering in the air and the stench of something else if you know what I mean. I told Jak, lose the fuckers and in a blaze of speed Jak hit the petal to the metal and we took off like a couple of bats out of hell. "

At that same moment Talya entered the bar where she spotted Daxter. Talya in a sexy manner walked over to the ottsel where she was fascinated by his story.

Sitting down between the two guys Talya asked, "So cutie you and this Jak must be really tough to be able to take on those jerk offs."

Daxter feeling the heat said, "Toots you have seen nothing yet. Jak and I have taken on things worst than that. Metal heads, Aliens and even some shadow monsters too. Whatever it was we took out we even saved the world too."

Needing to warn Daxter of the danger he was in Talya went his ear, she whispered, "Look my fuzzy little smart ass. You need to get out of here, that guy over there walking towards you isn't a friend he is actually the leader of those jerk offs that greeted you."

A third guy with a cigarette said, "Wow looks like you guys must have had it a little tough entering the city."

Shooting off his mouth Daxter uttered, "Jak and I aren't afraid of no gangs in this city we can take anyone on."

As the guy said, "Well sometimes one can find themselves in over their head. If you catch my drift and at the bottom of the Precursor Sea."

Bumping into him where she pointed her pistol at his side, Talya sexily said, "Oops excuse me I didn't see you there. By the way keep your hands off the rat got it."

At the same moment Jak up to his neck with gangsters trying to kill him pushing a button on the dash. Jak shot another car or two thus making them explode on contact. Just as he got away more were headed right for him. Jak in a rush hit the petal the metal where he revved his engine and took off like a bat out of hell to where the mysterious racer had headed.

Feeling the barrel of her gun the guy said, "This doesn't concern you friend."

Talya said, "Oh contrary good sir. This does if that rat is involved."

Daxter feeling nervous said, "Wait a minute guys I'm almost done."

Pulling out a knife he said, "Yes you are Rat."

Grabbing him from behind, Talya said, "Hurry up and get the hell out of here."

Daxter scared, "Hey why are you helping me?"

Talya still holding said, "Just Go, your friend's looking for you."

Talya pulled out her pistol where she cocked the hammer just in case she needed to shoot her way out of the bar. The story was interrupted when out of nowhere Jak crashed through the window with glass and debris flying everywhere. Daxter was confused on what to do.

In his car Jak said, "Dax get in the car."

Daxter said, "Yeah, but what about the girl. She might need our help."

Talya replied, "I'll be alright just do as your friend says and if I live I'll see you soon."

Jak yelled, "Now."

As Daxter was about to say something else the knife that the guy was holding was thrown at him barely missing him in the process. Hopping on to the side of the car Daxter said, "Step to it Jak." Where they blew through the window leaving Talya to deal with the all the scumbags. Daxter looking back at the bar felt a little bad that such a hottie was left dealing with the local riff raff.

As he was driving Jak warned, "Look Daxter I told you not to leave the room. We've been getting threats since our arrival three days ago. Someone doesn't want us here."

Still holding on Daxter said, "No duh ya think. I say we take the next boat the hell out of here"

Jak said, "No way Daxter not a chance."

As they drove off Daxter yelled, "Jak!"

Meanwhile back at the bar Talya had just finished kicking the shit out of the jerks that was harassing Daxter. Talya wanting some answers grabbed the guy in the red coat by his collar where she placed her pistol's barrel to his throat.

With her pistol and red glowing eyes, Talya threaten, "Whom do you work for and why are they after Jak and Daxter."

The guy scared, "I'm not allowed to say and my boss wants them dead. That's all I know."

Crawling through the broken window Vixie seeing Talya getting ready to beat the guy senseless, she said, "Talya, calm down there is no need for this. If the guy doesn't know then you have to believe him"

Getting off the guy's chest, calming down and putting on her shades Talya said, "You're lucky that my pet stopped me or you would have been dead meat. Oh one more thing where do I go sign up to Race around here."

Leaving her calling card Talya got back into her car where she raced off looking for the place to sign up for she wanted to enter the Racing Scene namely the place where the will was being read. Talya followed Jak as he entered a large building where a large statue of Krew was which meant that she had found the right place. Talya hopped out of her racer where she quietly followed a woman carrying a large bottle of wine up the elevator to where Talya tiptoed by the door after the woman with dark blue hair entered it. By the door Talya placed her ear to where she could hear some familiar voices talking. Talya putting her shades down and her hair in a bandanna she entered the office where she found a seat about three away from Jak

Inside of the office Jak, Keira, Daxter, Torn, and Ashlin were all sitting around talking.

Daxter impatient said, "Who called us and lets blow this pop stand."

Keira said, "It was Krew's daughter."

Leaning forward in his chair Jak said, "Krew had a daughter."

Grossed out Daxter said, "Krew produced, Eww nasty let's just prey that she doesn't look like him."

Entering the office Krew's daughter where she poured some wine in six glasses and lifting hers, she said, "Let's get this done and over with. It looks like some isn't here oh well. My name is Rayn before my father died he had a will made and wanted all of his closest associates to hear it and he wanted us to drink to his untimely death. This special wine was saved just for this occasion. To my father, let his soul rest in peace."

As everyone lifted his or her glasses to a toast something told Talya not to drink the wine and with the slip of her hand she pretended to drink the stuff only to pour it out. After they all drank Jak putting his glass down noticed that the same masked racer from the bar was sitting at the table about four feet away. Talya keeping her shades on: winked at him for she thought he was cute. Jak looking around the room wiggled his eyebrows at her as a response. After they drink their wine Rayn put her glass down and began playing the will which had a hologram of Krew talking,

Krew said, "Ah greeting friends and foes if your watching this than that means that I'm dead. As you must know I loved racing as much as weaponry. You see it has had always been my dream to have a racing team to enter the Kras Grand Championship. And well you all have been chosen by fate as my team for you all the best of the best in which you'll race for me."

Everyone blurt out, "No the hell way."

Krew said, "As you all might be a little ticked at the idea so here's the reason you'll be my racers the wine that you all drank was laced with a poison that will be fatal if you're not given the antidote. So here are your options race or die I'll give one minute to decide."

Ashlin pointing her gun said, "Bitch what in the hell did you do to us."

Holding her hands up Rayn said, "Honestly I didn't know about the poison."

Torn pissed said, "Your father was one crazy son of a bitch."

Keira said, "We were all crazy for coming here."

Calming them down Jak said, "Wait I believe her."

Krew back on said, "Well it's been a minute what is your decision."

Clenching his fist Jak said, "We can race and beat Krew at his own game."

Rayn said, "My father bought the finest garage money could buy. Also if anyone else wishes to enter they are welcome. That goes for you over there sitting down if would like to enter."

Getting up to leave the office Talya said, "Since you insist count me in."

Rayn said, "Each one of you have a racer waiting for you. So lets go and win."

As she was leaving and she passed by Jak who at this time was hypnotized by her looks, Talya said, "I already have a racer so I'll see you all in the race. And to the blond hunk I'll see you later."

After Talya left the office she removed her shades where she entered the garage chuckling to herself for she had made Jak feel a little tense in her presence. Meanwhile Jak and his friends headed to the garage to prepare for the race. Talya checked over her racer to make sure that everything was working properly. Looking at her machine that was when Keira showed up curious about what was she was doing.

Looking at the hood Keira asked, "So what kind of horse power does your car have?"

Putting on her shades to hide her face, Talya replied, "Excuse me could you not touch my wheels?"

Removing her hands from the hood Keira said, "I'm sorry I was just wondering on who built your racer?"

Smiling and looking at her communicator, Talya said, "My mechanic was from Spargus City and well I got the parts for my racer by salvaging the wastelands outside of the city. The monks helped me build it, but enough of the details. Anyway I have to get to the track for my training."

With that said Talya got into her racer where she headed to the track for some training. From her communicator her mechanic's voice began instructing her on the functions of the car.

With her head set in her ear, Talya hearing Seem say, "Look the on the right side is the accelerator and the brakes are on the left side. The weapons are located on the steering panel by the wheel also there is a built in targeting system."

Starting the engine Talya said, "Got it Seem, I'm going to give this baby a test run on the practice track."

Talya revved her motor as she drove it to the track where in the car next to her she saw Jak, who was also training on the track. With the red lights turning to green Talya pressed her foot to the gas where her racer took off as Jak seen her blaze off Jak did as she did and took off after to her as they were now racing one another. Putting her goggles down Talya began focusing on the track as she was getting the feel of it to where she was able to do handle the twists and turns of the track. As Talya sped through the track the wind blew through her hair for it felt really good against her skin. Jak racing in his vehicle wanted to get a look at the racer that had taken the lead. In a burst of speed Jak sped up along side of Talya's car as he had caught only to catch a brief glimpse of her blue and silver hair. Just before Jak could another look Talya pressed her foot on the gas and in a cloud of smoke was gone in a flash. Talya reaching the finish line where she slowed down on the track to wait for Jak who was only a short distance away. Jak saw that Talya stopped right on the track. Jak slowed his car down where he got out.

Getting out of his racer Jak slyly said, "That was nice racing you did out there."

Keeping her shades on Talya said, "You're not so bad yourself hot shot."

Pulling his goggles up to look at her Jak said, "Wow where did you learn to race like that."

Acting a little cocky Talya said, "I placed second in the Class 3 and first in the Class 2 in Heaven City. When I was living in Spargus City Kleiver taught me a little about racing where I had to go and run errands for the Monks at the temple. I also had to fight in the arena even when I was in Damos' Harem. Damos was such a kind guy."

Looking at his reflection in her shades Jak asked, "Can I ask you to take off your shades to where I can see your face? I have this strange sense of déjà vu like I know you."

To his ear Talya whispered, "Maybe you do and maybe you don't, but that is to be decided now if you excuse me I have to head to the garage where I need to prepare for the first race that is going to be tomorrow."

With that said Talya went up to Jak's cheek where she left a soft kiss on it and in a sexily sway walked to her racer where she got in and drove off leaving Jak holding his cheek blushing, but as Jak headed to his car to head back to the garage something caught his eye as he picked up a bracelet that looked like the one Talya always wore. Putting it in his jacket pocket Jak thought, 'Hum-mm I wonder could that mysterious racer be Talya, Nah I told her to stay in Heaven City. She wouldn't be crazy enough to take such a risk of not listening to what I say. When I get back to my Inn room I'll give her a call to see how she's doing.'

Talya headed back to her room where Vixie lay sleeping on the bed where Talya removed her jacket, goggles, boots and shades where there she took a load off. As she was lying down on her communicator started beeping when she checked the id it was Jak on the other line. At the same moment Jak took out his communicator to call Talya.

Dialing her number and putting his ear to the speaker, Jak said, "Hope she answers my call."

Pressing the button Talya answered, "Talya here who's calling?"

On the other line Jak said, "Hi its me."

Getting up Talya said, "Hey Jak, how are things in Kras City."

Leaning back on his bed Jak said, "Well things are pretty good we had to go to hear the reading of Krew's will and somehow we were suckered into being his racing team in the Kras City Champion races. Then I met this masked racer she was smooth and the way she handled that track it was like she knew how to race. Man you should have seen it Talya."

Twirling her hair Talya said, "Oh I see so you and the others were doped into racing for that jerk Krew. So this masked racer chic was she pretty?"

Jak said, "Who her? I mean she's cute, but not as beautiful as you are. You should know that I miss holding you in my arms. I'm going to be racing tomorrow. So I know that you'll be watching me from Heaven City for it will be on live T.V."

Looking at the ceiling of her room Talya said, "I miss you Jak."

Putting the speaker to his mouth and in a sensual tone Jak replied, "I wanted to call to say I love you. Right now all I want to do feel your warmth against me."

Soften her tone Talya said, "I feel the same, so I'll can do is prey to the Precursors for your safe return."

Hearing a beeping on her end Talya had to cut her conversation short for she needed to answer the incoming call. Jak at the same time was getting more comfortable to talk for it felt like the tones of Talya's voice were exciting him.

After getting comfortable Jak in a sensual tone asked, "Talya could you sing that song for me?"

On the other line Talya said, "Jak, could this wait until later I have incoming call. So let me call you back okay."

Feeling a little disappointed Jak said, "Sure Talya. Call me back."

Talya pressed the end button where she checked the id to find it was Seem on the line. Talya pressed Seem's number to see what she needed.

On the other line Seem answered, "Hello. Oh Talya its you."

On her end Talya said, "Yes Seem, what is it?"

Seem said, "Well it just that the first is to be held in Spargus City. You must take caution for the tracks. They are very dangerous."

Talya replied, "I know that anyway when is this race scheduled for?"

Seem answered, "Tomorrow morning I have already made the arrangements for the transfer of your racer and I'll see you there."

Yawning Talya said, "All right see then I got to go until then bye."

Talya hung up her communicator feeling a sense of nervousness she began singing a song the same one that she had always sung. At that moment Jak who was lying in his bed reached his hand up at the ceiling for as Talya sang he heard it as well as if she was nearby somewhere watching over him. Jak could the soothing sounds of her voice in his head as sleep began to take hold him as he closed his eyes and there in the drafty old Inn room he fell asleep with thoughts of Talya in his dreams. When Talya finished singing she closed her eyes and she too went to sleep thinking about what was to come which was a long season intense racing and of course keeping her identity a secret from the one she loved so much namely Jak.

(A.N. thanks for reading my story to all who have been reading Mysteries of the Precursor Sea; this story takes place after the events of Jak three. So to let you know I'll be making two sequels to it one that takes place during Jak 2 and one that take place during Jak 3. So be patient, but let me finish the first one. They're about three more chapters to go. Until then have fun and enjoy. Also to the following reviewers I'd like to thank them for the reviews to Desteny star, JaknDaxfreak811 and inuyashee. You have given me the perfect inspiration for this.)
