Jak jogs up to some chest as Keira talks over the communicator, smashing them open for the green eco clusters inside. Continuing through the area, he jumps up some stairs, collecting precursor orbs with Daxter commenting in his ear.

"Wheee," Daxter snarks as Jak spin kicks a dummy. Jumping over a small pit, Jak collects a powercell, and jumps over the second pit to pause at the red box. With a shrug, Jak breaks open the box and picks up the robotic-looking fly.

"Hey! You found one of my scout flies! I sent seven of them to each area to look for powercells, but the lurkers must have captured them all," Kiera calls over the communicator. Jak puts it in his bag while Daxter lets out a 'huh,' noise.

'We might find a powercell with a scout fly,' Jak motions.

"That makes sense," Daxter admits as Jak sets off to release all of the scout flies. In the last box, Jak finds a powercell with the scout fly. Collecting the powercell, Jak then drops to a beach area with a yelp. Daxter cackles on Jak's shoulder while Jak feels his face heat up as he collects the precursor orbs. Jak stops and looks at a large cluster of what looked like blue eco.

"What is that?" Daxter asks. Abruptly, the communicator springs to life with Samos explaining, "That's blue eco, which contains the energy of motion. Blue eco allows you to run faster, break boxes, and even activate some Precursor artifacts when you get near to them." Jak glances at Daxter in surprise while Daxter just stares at the now quiet communicator.

"How'd he do that?" Daxter ponders. Jak shrugs and jumps around a mountain, collecting precursor orbs along the way. Arriving at the top of the mountain, Jak spots a door with a blue bolt overhead.

"This is a precursor door. It can only be opened by approaching the door while channeling blue eco through your body," Samos explains over the communicator, startling Jak and Daxter again.

"Seriously, how'd he DO that?" Daxter whines as Jak jogs toward an eco vent that releases blue eco. Charging up on blue eco, Jak runs over to the door, opening the door and grabbing the powercell on the other side. Jumping down into the water below, Jak swims over to the pontoons to collect the precursor orbs before jumping onto dry land. Jumping up the precursor platforms, he collects more precursor orbs while running past the small clusters of green eco. He jumps across another pit, onto more precursor platforms and collects the last of the precursor orbs. Jumping across the natural gap between the tall platforms, Jak collects the final powercell as well before charging up on blue eco and taking a now moving platform down to the gate. Reactivating the warp gate, Jak jumps through first, landing on his feet in Samos' hut. Daxter leaps in afterwards, shooting out of the gate, causing Jak to dodge his friend. Once Daxter skids to a halt, he glares back at Jak who shrugs sheepishly.

"Good training, boys. But that's nothing compared to the challenges that lie ahead," Samos explains. Daxter scoffs at Samos' warning.

"Aaaah, they're noooo problem. We've got the moves, eh Jak? We'd love to stay and chat, Big Green, but we're uh, itching to get on with our adventure," Daxter brags, encouraging a silent laugh from Jak.

"Fine, fine. "Adventure" away then," Samos snarks back, "And while you're out "adventuring", make sure Erwen cleans out my green eco collectors. Now… all of you… GET OUT OF HERE!" Samos yells, scaring Jak and Daxter out of Samos' hut. Jak lands outside of Samos' hut, glancing at where Keira is working on the zoomer. She looks up briefly to wave and beam at him before returning to her work. Jak grins back at Keira and heads to the bridge.

"Let's go find Erwen. C'mon! Move faster," Daxter whines impatiently. Jak rolls his eyes and jogs into the village, spotting Erwen's white hair. Jak jogs up behind her as Daxter calls out, "Hey! Erwen!" Erwen turns and yelps as Jak comes face to neck with her. She stumbles back and lands on her bottom, making the boys laugh uproariously.

"Yeah, yeah. Laugh it up," Erwen growls, frowning. Jak stops laughing and looks her over, concerned, while Daxter grins from his perch on Jak's shoulder.

'I'm sorry.'

"That was hilarious!"

'You're not hurt, right?'

"You would've laughed too!"

'I didn't mean to upset you.'

"You should have seen your face!" Erwen looks between the two before saying, "You two are giving me mixed signals. C'mon," she stands up and brushes herself off, "I still need to see if the sculptor is offering powercells."

"Who else offered powercells?" Daxter asked, leaning against Jak's head.

"Well, the mayor wants us to fix the Eco beam and give him 90 precursor orbs for two powercells. Aunty wants us to help her get a Flut-Flut egg off a cliff for a powercell. I've already got a powercell from the farmer. Oh, and your uncle, Jak, wants 90 precursor orbs for a powercell. Also, thank you, Daxter."

"What'd they say I do this time?" Daxter demands, pounting. Erwen snorts, "Apparently, you took 90 precursor orbs from Jak's uncle." Daxter throw his hands in the air and rolls his eyes, making his friends laugh. The trio arrives at the sculptor's hut, Erwen and Jak grabbing any precursor orbs that show up along the way while breaking all seven scout fly boxes, finding a powercell inside the last crate with the scout fly. Arriving at the sculptor's hut, Erwen smooths her hair down and straightens her clothes, to Jak's confusion, before gently knocking on the side of the doorway. The sculptor turned to the trio as they enter, muttering, "Hey." When he sees Daxter, the man perks up, exclaiming, "Little furry dude!" He pauses, carefully eyeing Daxter before slumping over, "Aww… For a moment, I thought you were my Muse."

"Oh no! Do you think she's okay?" Erwen asks, only for the sculptor to shrug and look at the ground. Daxter clears his throat, gaining the sculptors attention.

"Your what?" Daxter demands.

"Haven't you ever seen a Muse before? It's a little glowin' squirrel about your size, full of spunk, and crazy as a lark!" the older teen describes, moving toward Erwen with his motioning and making the girl giggle. Jak rolls his eyes at the exchange while Daxter let out a small exclamation.

"Oh, I get it!" Daxter says before pointing at Jak and mock whispering, "Like a sidekick." Jak scowls up at his friend, sending him a mock glare.

"As a matter of fact, without my Muse, I just can't sculpt. But with her around, I see beauty in everything, you know?" The sculptor sighs, leaning against the large rock. He slowly slides to the floor, muttering, "Right now I couldn't chisel my way out of a box." He stands back up and looks out the window.

"I think she ran away to that Misty Island. Oh, I just hope she's alright." He pauses, as if he realized something before turning to them and saying earnestly, "It's worth a powercell if you bring her back to me." Daxter's head jerks toward the sculptor, twitching before yelling, "Wait a minute! We are NOT going back to Misty Island!" After a moment, Daxter looks at his friends and asks, "Are we?" Jak rolls his eyes at Daxter's antics as Erwen reassures the sculptor, "We'll try to get your Muse." The sculptor grins at Erwen, which causes the girl to blush and look up at him through her eyelashes, making him blush. Jak huffs impatiently, as the older teens continues to look at each other, blushing, when Daxter rolling his eyes.

"Can we leave?" The ottsel snaps, startling all three of the teens.

"Oh! Um, right. See you later then," Erwen offers with a shy smile. The sculptor nods, turning back to the giant rock in front of him. Jak throws his hands up into the air, in a 'finally' motion, getting a punch in the arm from Erwen.

"Oh, stop. You don't see me get impatient when you flirt with Keira," Erwen sighs. Jak huffs defensively, 'I don't flirt with Keira.'

"Uh, sorry Jak, but Erwen's right on this one," Daxter cuts in as they head back toward the farm, to the tiny beach in front of the farm. Jak looks around the small beach with a frown that changes to a curious look as the trio contemplates on where they should go next, when he spots a statue on the side of a cliff with two powercells. Tapping Erwen on the shoulder, Jak motions toward the large statue.

'Up there!' He motions, grinning as Erwen spins to look at what he is pointing at.

"Up there?" Erwen asks, both she and Daxter shading their eyes to get a look at what Jak spotted. When she spots the thing, Erwen lets out a low whistle, "That's a precursor oracle! Samos mentioned that those statutes have powercells in them."

"Wait, really?" Daxter asks, as Jak shoots her a confused look. Erwen frowns at them, asking, "Weren't you guys paying attention when Samos explained some of the precursor architecture?" As both boys shake their heads, Erwen sighs and begin to climb up the rock formation, unlocking a small precursor vault along the way with blue eco. The trio makes their way over to the statue, Daxter groaning, "Yesh! I hope they weren't as UGLY in person." Erwen sighs and shoots the ottsel a deadpan look.

"Do you think anything can look like that?" she asks. Daxter hums, as if actually contemplating it while Jak rolls his eyes and continues to travel to the statue. Walking forward, Erwen looks of a way to get the powercells out of the eyes while Jak tries to keep his balance on the wobbling bridge. When he takes a step onto solid land, the oracle speaks, scaring Erwen from her perch on the oracle's nose.

"Who awakens the oracle? Wait… One of you has the light within. From before time, I have watched and waited for the true hero to return. Present to me 120 precursor orbs for each powercell I contain." After which, the statue goes silent again. Jak stares at the oracle, confused at the fact it seemed to address him.

"You okay there?" Daxter asks, only for Erwen to groan in pain from her spot on the ground. Daxter winces in sympathy before climbing back onto Jak's shoulder and tugging his hair. Jak winces and glares at Daxter, getting a look in return.

"Erwen sorta, kinda, maybe, oh, I don't know, FELL FROM ON TOP OF THE STATUE!" Daxter yells into Jak's ear, startling Jak enough to look at Erwen who is still laying on the ground. Jak hurries over to Erwen in concern, only for her to smack him in the nose with her head as she rises from the ground. Both teens fall to the ground, Erwen holding her head while Jak holds his nose, as Daxter cackles in the background.

"I think that may have been a bad idea," Erwen hisses, her hand firmly on her forehead. Jak lets out a groan of agreement, moving his hand away from his nose to check for bleeding. Daxter continues to laugh as the two teens slowly pull themselves up from the ground. Erwen eventually rolls her eyes and picks Daxter up, getting a yelp of protest for her effort.

"So, what did the oracle want?" she asks, Daxter grumbling on her shoulder. Jak gives her a sheepish smile and told her, '120 precursor orbs.' Erwen chokes out, "120?! What does that thing think we are? Made from precursor orbs?" At Jak's shrug, Erwen groans again.

"I swear, someone or something is going to ask for my soul one day, and then where would we be?" Erwen sighs.

'Dax and I would be getting into trouble without someone to pull us out while you would be in a coma?' Jak offers. Erwen and Daxter looked at the blond in twin looks of horror and intrigue.

"Why would you even-? Never mind, I don't want to know," Erwen sighs, rummaging through her bag. Counting only 39 in her bag, Erwen looks up at Jak, only for him to motion that he only had 50, "Dang it." Erwen lets out a huff.

"We don't even have enough to trade with your uncle, Jak." Erwen groans, rubbing at her face with the heels of her hands as Daxter flees to Jak's shoulder. Daxter awkwardly clears his throat, getting Jak and Erwen's attention.

"I may have some orbs buried near the waterfall at the entrance of the Forbidden Jungle," Daxter confesses. A long pause followed his confession, which ends by Daxter snapping, "Can we just get them?"

"Oh! Right! Sorry," Erwen mutters, jumping into the water below. Jak sends Daxter a disappointed look that he responds to with a defensive, "What?!" Jak huffs and jumps into the water as well swimming after Erwen as she heads to the waterfall between the Village and the Jungle. Once he arrives, Erwen starts to tap the ground for tightly packed sand. Jak glares at Daxter, causing him to swallow nervously and jump down from Jak's shoulder to help Erwen find the stash. Once they uncover the orbs, Erwen lets out a low whistle.

"I don't know if I should be thankful or disappointed," Erwen says as she stares at the eleven precursor orbs in her hands.

"Thankful. Be very, very thankful," Daxter insists, Jak sending him disappointed looks. Erwen looks up in time to see one of Jak's looks and winces.

"Yeah, okay. I'll be the thankful one. I think Jak can be disappointed enough for the both of us," Erwen agrees, putting the orbs into her bag. Rising up, she makes grabby hands at Jak, much to the boys' confusion.

"Uh… Why ya' makin' the grabby hands?" Daxter asks. Erwen gives them a look, snapping, "I thought you guys knew the plan."

'Erwen… You didn't tell us anything,' Jak deadpans. Erwen turns a light pink color and mutters, "oh…" Clearing her throat, Erwen explains, "You boys are going to head into the jungle and fix the eco beam, find the eco switch, and find the fisherman to see if we can borrow his speed boat. I'll go trade these with Jak's uncle and then go clear out the beach."

"Hey! This sounds unfair!" Daxter whines, Jak rolls his eyes and motions, 'You do remember that she has to clean out the green eco collectors for Samos, right?' Daxter let out a noise of understanding, while Erwen winces and asks, "He told you?" At the twin nods, she winces again before straightening herself and nodding at them.

"See you boys later," She calls, heading back to the village. Daxter lets out a little whimper as Jak rises and heads for the jungle.

"Do we really have to do this, Jak?" Daxter whines. Jak only gives him a broad smile before heading into the jungle.
