(and the story begins)
The life of Jak and Daxter was pretty good for the most part. Metal Heads still attacked part of Haven City, blast bots attacking every now and then, Daxter lost his pants due to an overdose of laxitives that Torn had successfully given him (1), and the strange, yet non-surprising disappearance of Ottsel Veger. Yeah life was getting better and better. Who in the world couldn't like all of this? Sure Jak didn't seem to mind, he's used to the whole fight 'em, kill 'em thing and Torns constant pranks on Daxter, and strange things happening that was kinda his fault.
Daxter on the other hand, was deeply annoyed about all of this, who wants to go fight enemies and be the victim of pranks when he could be at the Naughty Ottsel with Tess? " Sometimes I just wish that I was someone else," Daxter always said to himself.
Well, Daxters wish will come true, soon infact, but not right now. Right now are brave and heroic heroes are busy kicking bad- guy- booty in the desert.
Sig had just recently became ruler of Spargus not long after the death of Damas. Jak was offered the position obviously since he was the son of the ruler, but Jak couldn't run a city, not right now anyways. He was still young and didn't want to be the one giving orders and having that much responsability. Besides people say that if you are stressed, then it can cause you to go bald. And Jak figured that ruleing over a city would have alot of stress with it. And look at Damas! He ruled over the city and was bald and personally, Jak really didn't want to loose his hair. So Jak let Sig take over, besides Sig was better at giving orders and haveing battle tactics and such.
But anyways, Sig had recently assigned Jak and Daxter to go out into the desert and knock out one of those WasteLander Metal Heads. It was only one, but it had seemed to go mad and was causeing trouble for other wastelanders who also had missions in the desert. Jak and Daxter's duty was to wipe it out before it caused more trouble.
So out in the desert, they were. The WasteLander Metal Head was easy enough to spot, even without their radar. It was currently thrashing about and hitting it's head on a nearby mountain.
"Sig was right when he said that this Metal Head was mad," Daxter said, "I heard that when things go crazy, they're dangerous. I'd be careful Jak I think it's foaming at the mouth." And it just so happened that it was. Jak's right eye twitched when he heard the Metal Head screech loudly as if in pain.
"Do you think that it's in pain?" Jak asked the ottsel on his right shoulder. "Nah, it's gone loopy Jak. It kinda reminds me of you when you when you gamble, like betting my life over a stupid vehicle!" Daxter yelled in Jak's ear. Jak rolled his eyes, "I knew what I was doing and can we please get this over with? If I don't destroy something quick, I'll go on a rampage," Jak stated to Daxter. "Go ahead, I'm not holding you back!" Daxter yelled at Jak.
Jak realized after having his dark powers for a little over a year that if he didn't destroy something at least once a day, then his dark side would automatically come out and go on a rampage, destroying anything within a square mile. And this happened anyway if he was angry. So if there isn't anything evil that he can destroy within the area, he had to substitute by blowing up trees or snapping many razors in half, it took a while, but eventually when there was enough things destroyed, his darker half would rest until he was called out or craved destruction again(2). But ya' know, whatever works.
Back in the desert Jak was circleing the giant metal head while Daxter was fireing at it with the machine gun. It didn't take that long to kill it, but then again, I'm not counting the time when it charged at the heroic duo. Nevertheless, it was dead within the last five minutes.
But the strange thing was, that when the Metal Head hit the ground it spat out some sort of disk, covered in spikes. Right after, the metal head laid on the ground and drew it's last breath.
"Man!" Daxter yelled when him and Jak hopped out of the Slam Dozer (3) and walked towards the disk and dead mass, "I'd go crazy to if I had that thing in my belly!" Daxter exclaimed and walked over to the disk. It was litterally three times his size and also it's spikes where oozing with green goo. "We should take it to Samos or someone," Jak stated as he carefully picked it up and flipped it over. It was some sort of shield, that had spikes on one side and the other side was smooth with ancient words carved in the metal. "Or we could take it to Seem," Jak said as he studied the strange words. "Why!" Daxter asked, "She's weird! And her breath stinks! And she talks to animals!" Daxter yelled and jumped on Jak's shoulder. "Because," Jak started, ",she's the one who studies ancient artifacts and from what I can tell this shield is ancient. Besides how can talking to animals be weird when you are a talking animal?" Jak asked his friend with a grin. "You better watch yourself Jak, I'm going to get you back for that little comment," Daxter warned.
Jak shrugged and threw the shield in the passenger seat of the vehicle. Jak sat on the drivers side and Daxter made himself comfortable of the smooth side of the shield.
Within minutes, they were at the Volcano Temple (4), this is where Seem had been staying for a while, so that she could study the ancient writeings as much as she pleased without makeing a long trip.
"Daxter, we're here," Jak informed his friend only to find that Daxter had fallen asleep while lying on the shield. Jak rolled his eyes and picked up the whole shield so that he wouldn't desturb his friends sleeping pattern. But as Jak hopped out of the vehicle and walked towards the entrance to the temple he felt a strange sensation wash over his body. It felt as if someone was pouring warm water all over his body. Daxter cracked open his eyes at that moment, "Tess baby, that's really nice bath water, " Daxter mumbled and fell back asleep. Jak felt extremely tired and placed the shield on the ground before decideing that now was a good time for a nap.
"Mmm," Daxter mumbled as he awoke from his light doze. He just got through having a really, really good dream, where Tess and him were taking a warm bubble bath together. It was a nice dream, and he wished it would continue, but now Daxter was awake and couldn't go back to sleep. So Daxter stood up on his two legs only to find that they felt kinda wobblely and he fell back to the ground. "What the heck?" Daxter looked down to see that he was wearing pants, now normally, that would be a good thing, but he was also wearing boots. He never wore boots, even when he still was an elf, he had gone around bare footed all his life, so why was he wearing boots? "Jak?" Daxter looked around for his comrade only to find an orange fuzzy creature on the ground, asleep next to him. Daxter looked closer at it, only to find that it was just an ottsel, but not just any ottsel, it was himself. "AAAAAHHHHH!" Daxter screamed when he realized that he was haveing an out- of-body- experience. The ottsel awoke and jumped up at the sound of the scream.
"What's going on?" Jak asked no one in perticular and looked around to see himself running around and screaming. "What the hell?" Jak yelled and began to wonder why he was watching himself running around in a circle screaming. "Oh my god," Jak froze, wide eyed and watching his body flail about.
It was about another three minutes when Jak's mind finally clicked and he looked down to see that he had a tail and he was orange and fuzzy all over. Jak's right eye twitched, "OH MY GOD!" Jak yelled out and ran around in his furry form.
Now both Jak and Daxter were running about screaming things like, "OH MY GOD!" or "Why is the world so cruel!" and even "I swear, I'll never do or say a bad thing again"
"What is going on here!" a voice sounded from the entrance of the Volcano Temple. At the sound of the voice Jak and Daxter immediately froze in their positions. Jak had his arms in the air and his mouth gaping open. Daxter was frozen in a stance that would show that he was running around in cirlces and yelling at the same time.
Although, the person standing at the entrance did not see it as such, she seen Jak running in circles and Daxter having his arms in the air and wailing something about fur. "Why have you come?" Seem asked her visitors.
Daxter sat down on the ground and came to a realization, "Hey! I got my old body back!" Daxter said and smiled really goofy like.
Jak was the second one who came to realization, "Oh, hey Seem. Uh, I'll explain later but can I borrow a mirror?" Jak asked the monk that was standing before him.
"Yes, of course mighty warriors," Seem then went back inside of the temple.
"Alright, who the hell are you?" Jak asked the green haired person in front of him.

sorry folks that's all for now, but anyway, time for explanations.
(1) there was this really funny story in the Jak and Daxter selections where Torn tried to sneak laxatives into Daxter's drink, and an accident happened in the story and it was just so funny. oh god i'm glad i read that one. i forget what it was called or who the author was but it was just so funny. my sides where aching so badly when i got through reading it. i suggest that you look for it and read it too.
(2) i have a theory about Jak and Dark Jak and I so I placed that little tid bit in there for future reference. my theory is that when Jaks emotions get really high, he turns into Dark Jak, especially when he's angry. and also, if he doesn't destory anything within a day, then his dark side will automatically come out and do it for him.
(3) the Slam Dozer is a vehicle that is in Jak 3 and is very slow, but very powerful. i don't like it that much, but i figured that Jak might so i stuck it in here.
(4) i'm not exactly sure on whether it's the volcano temple that i'm trying to talk about. but it's that one place that's in the desert where you go inside and it's the first time you see that creepy floating eyeball, and also the only way to get there is to is to use the Dune Hopper. it might be the volcano temple but i'm not sure, please correct me if i'm wrong and i'll try to go back an correct it if i can find out how.
sorry, if this isn't that much and it's kinda sloppy, i wrote this within a two day period and it's kinda the prolonge(sp?) so you can expect the next chapter to be a little, if not more, longer. oh yeah, and i refuse to update until i get at least five reviews, the first reviewer gets a cookie too! oh and any flames sent will be used to power my toaster.
