DJG: "No boring author's note this time! Wait…"
When they got past the jumps, they almost plummeted off of the tricky one behind the waterfall because Daxter was complaining. "Come on! That ain't fair! I actually thought you were cryin'! I never said-" Jak clamped a hand over his mouth. "Come on, we already got this far! Might as well keep going." Daxter crawled in the back and began to pout. Jak stopped the car and pulled Daxter from the backseat. "Chill out, OK? This'll only take a minute." They walked in and instantly knew something was wrong. There were no Metal Head, no Dark Makers, no man-eating spiders, nothing. It was just empty.
The walls were crumbling slightly, and not even the floating eye was guarding the door. Daxter jumped off of Jak's shoulder and walked toward the big door. "Wow, they've really changed the place, eh Jak?" Glancing at the ground, the feeling of something not being right hit Jak again. The dirt on the floor was turned, as if something had been moving it. Daxter was going to walk right on top of it. "Dax, wait!" The warning came too late. The ground crumbled underneath him, and Jak just barely grabbed him before he fell through the floor. "Someone's booby-trapped the place."
They proceeded carefully through the rest of the temple, only setting off two other booby-traps. One of them shot arrows at them that they barely dodged, and another was a huge boulder that almost crushed them. "Sheesh! I know they don't want people to know they're Ottsels, but come on! They don't need to be all 'We hate you, go away!'" He looked around the room they were in. "Okay, okay, we get the message! Enough already with the death traps!" Jak rolled his eyes, and leaned up against a wall to reload his gun, just in case. There was a crunching sound, and suddenly the wall rotated, leaving Daxter alone in the room. "Well, I guess they heard me." Daxter turned. "Uhhh, Jak? W-Where'ja go?" Daxter slowly looked around the room again, feeling very alone.
It was completely dark on the other side of the wall. Jak couldn't see his own hand in front of his face. He pulled out his Morph-Gun, and used the laser pointer as some sort of light. The dark room continued on for as far as he couldn't see. (That was a joke. Ya know, the thing with the…yeah, I know it's not that funny. L) The realization hit him like a sledgehammer. He was in an arena of some sort. As soon as he figured it out, a blast of yellow flew out of the darkness at him. "Eco!" he thought, dodging it. The yellow glow turned and attacked him again. "This must be some sort of test, like the ones in the Tomb of Mar!" Every time the yellow glow turned toward him, he would roll or dodge out of the way at the last possible second. Suddenly, the Yellow Eco fizzled and went out. He froze, waiting. "They already used yellow, so the next one they'll probably use is…." A red glow lit the room. "Great. Just friggin' perfect!" He dodged it again and again, each time it came closer than the last. He was now backed against a wall. "What's the deal? I never had to prove myself to talk to them before! This isn't the Tomb of Mar, for crying out loud!"
Daxter was not a happy camper. He was alone in a scary temple, his best friend was M.I.A, and he was unarmed. Well, he always could run away if something attacked him, which was about to happen, seeing as he was being backed into a corner by a giant spider. For some reason, he thought it was the same one that tried to eat him in the Tomb of Mar, but it couldn't be, right? It finally had him backed into a wall. He suddenly felt a whooshing sound, and he was thrown backward as the wall rotated again, leaving Daxter in the arena, and Jak to face the giant spider. "What the holy frick is that!?" Daxter screamed, seeing the floating eco.
Meanwhile, Jak was having similar thoughts. He pulled out his Morph-Gun and blasted the spider with a well-aimed Peacemaker shot, but it seemed to have no effect. "Crap!"
DJG: " Oooh! What's gonna happen now?!?!? Questions, questions!"
Muse : "You are a pitiful excuse for a human being."
DJG: "Are you full of nothing but insults???!?!!? Come on!"
