-----------------------------------------------------------------

Too much fun, what's that mean? It's like too much money…there's no such thing! ...

I had my car radio blasting, attempting to keep myself awake as I drove through the lightning storm, racing time to get home. Work was slow, as usual. There's nothing like working at the least popular bookstore making eight bucks an hour organizing books for nine straight hours. Money good; work bad. Nevertheless, the manager called asking me—begging me—"Jess, listen…Linda called in sick, and we don't have enough people now..." blah blah blah. You get the idea.

It was just more time that ate away from my "play time". When I say, "play time", I mean videogames. PS2. Jak 2, to be exact. Damn game got frustrating after a while, still on the first fight with Baron Praxis.

'Stupid fiery tornadoes,' I thought to myself as I grumbled. Nevertheless, I was intent on beating it. So what if I didn't exactly go in order and finished Jak 3 already? I mean, if I can do Jak 3, then I should be able to get to ---

"Holy shit!" I yelled aloud as I zoomed past the exit that I was supposed to take. 'Damn,' I thought, 'now I'm gonna have to take the long way home.' After about twenty minutes ranting about how I was going to miss more time than before, I took the next exit available, and continued driving fast going home, with the rain pouring harder than usual. Even though my conscience warned me to slow down, I ignored it. I turned up the volume of the radio to drown out that little annoying voice in my head.

No matter what they say I done, I ain't never had…

As the song continued, it was then I suddenly felt blinded. Trying to focus my eyes, I realized the light shining in front of me was another car on the wrong side of the road! I swerved out of the way, but not fast enough as the car hit the backside of my car, causing me to spin out of control. The wet leaves weren't helping much. I couldn't see anything but blurred images as I spun; I couldn't hear anything but the screams coming out of my mouth. As I attempted to gain control of my car, I realized I was heading for a large tree. Before I hit it, everything turned white----


"RUN JAK!" Daxter yelled as he clung onto his human friend's shoulder, desperately trying not to fall off. If so, it's goodnight Ottsel, for a few feet away were Krimzon Guards.

And they didn't look too happy.

"I need backup!" one guard yelled as he continued shooting. Daxter ducked as the bullet zoomed right past his whiskers.

"HA!" Daxter yelled back with a teasing grin, "My GRANDMOTHER can shoot better than THAT!" Jak immediately snatched a near-by hover car and sped out of the Krimzon Guards' sight.

"That was close." Jak said as he jumped off, not looking back at the abandoned car going towards innocent pedestrians. Daxter shook his head and looked at his best friend.

"You know, Jak…" Daxter said, one hand in the air, and another in his friend's blonde hair, "there IS a new thing going on now-a-days... called PARKING!" he yelled as they neared Vin's lab.

The doors whooshed open as they saw Vin typing furiously at a nearby control panel. Daxter's quick and scheming mind was ready to scare the pants off the computer nerd by yelling about another metal head behind him, but Jak started talking already.

"Vin, buddy!" Jak started with a convincing smile, "we need a favor."

Vin looked up from the panel at the two friends through his thick-lensed glasses. "I can't help you with your eco bill."

"We need you to switch on the access elevator in one of the Palace's support towers."

Vin adjusted his glasses. "Sheesh, that's part of the old B-Zone power grid? It hasn't worked for years!" he stated as he continued hitting more buttons.

Jak turned away from Vin as he winked at Daxter. "Well, if it's too hard for you, I understand. Power stuff can be tricky." Jak said as Daxter grinned.

Vin stopped his work and looked up at Jak in disbelief. "Tricky? Hmmmmmph..." he mumbled as he ran back and forth in his lab, hitting all sorts of buttons and switches. "I could route the B-Zone conduit lines through the bypass grid, shunting past the eco rings to connect the inductor tubes in series…" he continued as he hit more buttons. Daxter and Jak looked at each other and smiled, as Vin finally yelled, "You've got instant lift juice!"

Jak looked at Vin and grinned. "Vin, you're a genius!"

Vin looked around his lab. "Actually…it was all Mar's idea. Some people say he made most of this stuff a while ago…" There was a pause as Vin then explained how they needed to activate switches and try not to get killed along the way. Daxter gulped as the two continued on their adventure.


I attempted to open my eyes, and saw pavement. Pain traveling through my body, feeling like I was on broken glass, I was frightened. 'Great,' I thought to myself, 'I'm gonna die alone here...stupid driver…stupid ME…why the hell didn't I slow down!' I made an effort to look around me. Nothing but the cold street, walls, and…wait, walls? No trees? 'Even better I crashed into some poor family's house!' I thought as I mentally kicked myself in the ass for being so stupid. I used what strenth I had to utter a cry for help as tears continued to form in my eyes and run down my dirty cheeks. Just then, I heard a noise, like something opening up. Then I heard footsteps. Oh god, my head is starting to hurt again…

"Hey, it's Torn…you two had better come back to HQ…there's something you gotta see…" the raspy voice said as he walked toward me to see my face. I only saw red hair and…it looked like his face was drawn on? "Well, I should get you in here before the Krimzon Guards find you." I felt dizzy again, and became unconscious yet again.


Jak ran for cover as the last triggered bomb exploded and set off the last switch they needed for the elevator.

"Woo-hoo!" Daxter yelled happily. "Now onto--"

"Hey, it's Torn…you two had better come back to HQ…there's something you gotta see…" the voice in the mini intercom said urgently.

"Okay Torn, we're on our way." Jak said as he put the intercom away again.

"Oh great. What does ol' tattoo face want NOW!" Daxter asked impatiently as they stole yet another hover car and drove back to HQ, unaware of what was to happen next.
