Daxter gasped as the floor of the arena lit up with blue Precursor text. Luckily, Jak and him could both read that stuff. Only the Eco blob wasn't stopping. It took advantage of his sudden pause and stuck. Meanwhile, as the spider lunged at Jak, the walls lit up with similar text. "Only by giving up what you want the most will save you from the Eco Ghost." Daxter read as he dodged the speedy blue glow. "That's the biggest load of Yakkow shit I ever-AHH!" The blue glow had singed off some of his fur. "Surrendering and giving up will allow you to speak with us." Jak read, dodging the spider's teeth. "But wait. That would mean I'd have to-" The giant arachnid broke through his guard and, snarling, slashed through his throat with its sharpened legs, killing him instantly.
The blue glow sparkled like electricity. Daxter heard snarling nearby. "Holy crap, I bet that Jak's fighting that spawn of Satan right now!" Suddenly, he heard a crunching sound, and the unmistakable thump of a dead body hitting the ground, but the hissing and clicking continued. Was there a possibility it had beaten Jak? As he froze, worried about his friend, the electric blue glow of Blue Eco lit up his body and they both vanished.
Jak felt like he was falling backward. According to the Precurian text, to talk to the Precursors, he had to die. He was going to be unbelievably pissed if he was wrong. He looked around. Somehow, he felt like he was back in the catacombs. He was walking, but there was nothing there, he should have been falling. Suddenly, Daxter was right next to him, his tiny body scorched and burnt. Daxter looked at him and screamed. "Jak! Y-You're d-d-dead!" Jak gave Daxter the look. "I'm not-" But was interrupted by the Ottsel Leader, Lexar, appearing to them. "Welcome, boys! Good Lord, what happened to you two?" They looked at each other, and Jak realized that if Daxter had those burns in real life, he wouldn't be alive. Then he remembered the spider cutting him. Maybe he was dead. Talk about dead men walking.
"Oh, yes. The secret way. You didn't need to die if you wanted to talk to us, you know. You could have always just yelled hello at the door." Daxter glared at Lexar. "Then you need to get a frikin doorbell or somethin'." Lexar smiled at Daxter, and waved his stick thing. Suddenly, Daxter looked normal again, and Jak's throat wasn't all holey. "So, what was it that you two needed?" Jak froze. He still didn't really know how he was going to ask, or what he was going to say, but he just wanted something to help. "Uhh, I, um…" Daxter jumped in. "Our boy here is all depressed since, ya know, Damas, so I thought he needed a pick-me-up. Got somethin' for 'im?" Lexar's face fell. "Actually, I, I was hoping to speak with you about something, but I wasn't supposed to tell you until Damas died. I'm sorry to hear it finally happened."
Jak frowned. "What? What are you talking about?" Lexar frowned, and sat down. (I don't know why, seeing as they're in an empty room) "About twelve years ago, after you had been taken by Veger, your parents decided to try again." Jak's jaw dropped. "You mean I have a-" "Yes, you have a little sister." Daxter was staring at both of them like they'd gone insane. "But, where is-" Lexar cut him off again. "Not here. Your parents were worried she would be taken, too. We took her to another planet, in another universe, actually. We thought she'd be safe there." Jak looked like he had just been sucker punched. "Obviously, it's safe for her to come home again, but it's easier said than done." Daxter finally spoke up. "Why not just zap her here? It's fast, and as far as I know, painless, right?" Lexar smiled grimly. "She's in another universe, Daxter. The same laws of physics don't apply there. I could take you there, but I'm not sure how you'd get back. They don't have warp gates there. They don't even have Eco there. None. No light, dark, red, blue, green, or yellow. None at all."
Daxter's eyes nearly popped out of his head. "None?!?!" Jak still had a bewildered expression on his face. Lexar frowned. "What's more, she was moved there at such a young age, she has no memory of this place. It's fictional as far as she knows." Daxter snapped. "So, we gotta go to an unknown frickin planet, find her, find a way home without any eco, and she has no memory of here so will probably think we're child molesters of somethin'?" Lexar nodded. "Story of my freaking life." he snapped.
