Yep, I updated quicker, go me. This chapter doesn't have much in the way of storyline progression, just your basic Jak 3 stuffs. Enjoy, though. Next chappy should be better.

The morning sun was bright, unusually bright. For once, the sun's rays weren't hindered by the sands of the Spargas Desert. "Uhn… Too bright…" She groaned, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. With yet another groan her eyes scanned her surroundings. She was in her room. 'How did I end up here?' she thought before climbing out of bed. Her armor and such had been neatly placed against the bed. 'And why am I not-' The creaking of her bedroom door caught her attention and she glanced at the figure entering. "Morning Jak."

"Hey. How did you sleep?" He smiled, then stepped fully into the room. He was fully equipped, and was sporting a rather shiny piece of precursor armor around his chest.

"Good. How did I end up here?" She sat on her bed, then began to strap on her boots and armor over her clothes. She yawned in the process and was slightly disturbed by her reflection in the dirty mirror in front of her.

"Well, I brought you back to Spargas, I figured you'd get a better night's sleep in your own bed than 700 feet above the ground on a small rock face." He noticed her indicate the armor. "And I um, removed that so you would have an easier time sleeping…" A little giggle reached his ears and he glanced up at Sake who had been staring at him.

"This is the first time I have ever seen you blush. I think it looks good on you." Jak felt his ears become warm, even to the very tip. Some reason, their innocent flirting felt alive, as if it had been renewed by something.

"Yeah, yeah, blushing, love, stripping, whatever. Can we just get this day over with, I need more sleep." Groaned the exhausted ottsel atop Jak's shoulder.

"Someone didn't sleep so well I take it." Sake scratched Daxter behind the ear with the tip of her finger, sending the small ball of fuzz into a world of pleasure.

"Naw, he was up last night with insomnia." Jak explained before starting for the door once more. He grabbed the knob and pulled it open but stopped dead in his tracks as he ran smack into Damas. "Oh, Um, Damas, Hi!"

"Morning again, Jak." The Sand King raised his hand and revealed a device. It was comprised of the two portions Jak had one, and included a third one. "I suggest you hold onto this. It's a beacon, incase you ever need help." The younger elf tossed a nod Damas' way and smirked before slipping the semi-circular device into his backpack.

Sake stood behind Jak, then followed him out of the room and into the hallway. Many of the residents were still asleep in their cozy beds. So, the two traveled towards the curtains at the other end of the hallway and walked through them into the throne room. Damas was already on his throne, over-viewing the city with a big smile of confidence. Jak and Sake both waved to him before climbing onto the elevator in the center of the room. It traveled down and to the heart of the city.

"We have to go to Haven City, Samos was really worried about something this morning." Jak stated and boarded a rather conveniently placed Leaper. Sake did the same and continued through Jak through the city towards the gates. Upon arrival the first gate opened and they dismounted their beasts. Just on the other side of the main gate was the transport to Haven.

"What do you think he's worried about this time?" Sake asked with an eyebrow raised. She climbed up the ramp into the transport and took a seat. She scooted over and let Jak sit.

"I dunno." Was all he said with a little shrug. The shrug obviously aggravated Daxter who had been catching a little bit of shut eye on his friend's shoulder. And so, the large carrier lifted off of the ground and closed its back hatch. The rest of the ride was spent conversing about whatever came to mind. The ride ended quite some time later and they were set down in the port. However, the moment they landed the transport took flight to go dock somewhere safe. The port was crawling with metal heads and KG death bots. The only safe route was to board a zoomer and hover over the fight. Even then, the death bots equipped with ground to air guns could aim at them.

"I'm driving!" Sake climbed into the seat of a smaller zoomer and Jak climbed on behind. She turned the key and raised it to the higher elevation before slamming on the gas at her foot. Their destination was the forest because that was where Samos told to go via a communicator as they rode to Haven. As expected, they faced some opposition from the Death Bots, but the metal heads were out of reach. Even in the Metal head section of the city they faced little to no opposition; just a few grunts leaping at their vehicle.

She pulled up to the ramp and climbed off of the machine. Jak smirked then watched her kick the zoomer towards a few Metal heads that were coming up the ramp. They were too stupid to avoid the zoomer and were hit head on. With a laugh, Sake ran up the ramp after Jak. The city security doors opened and the two quickly slipped inside, laughing. Daxter yawned, then raised his head and blinked a few times.

"I see nothing funny." He groaned. Suddenly, his entire body seemed to become white as a sheet as she secondary doors opened to the forest, which was infested with Dark Makers. "D-D-D-D-" Was all he could muster. The ottsel was plenty awake now. He shivered upon Jak's shoulders as his friends equipped their strongest weapons. Sake used the Arc Wielder attachment while Jak used the Beam Reflexor. They knelt behind a rock and peered at their targets. The enemy hadn't spotted them yet, so the coast was clear. The metallic beasts were all centered in and around assorted gun stations. They were obviously defending the pillars positioned in the water.

Sake slowly crept out from her rocky hideaway with her gun clutched tightly in her gloved hands. However, her boot landed directly on a stick and snapped it into two. Within a matter of seconds, every creature in the woods was facing their direction, or at least within the vicinity of them.

"Oops."

That was all she could say before the gunfire began. Beams of Dark Eco, bullets of hardened steal, and bolts of lightning flew like it was the fourth of July. The beasts charged at the three heroes, claws and metal bared in the hopes of rending the meat from their bones. One of the larger Dark Maker Troopers grabbed Jak with its large claw and slammed him into the ground. However, that didn't even phase him as he roared in anger. He had become the dark beast and was charging at the Dark Makers with such a fire as to knock anything down. His claws sliced through the metal like it was butter. Sake used her Arc Wielder to do her own damage; the electricity messing with the ancient mechanics of the metal monsters.

She soon took control of a Dark Maker turret after removing the head of the gunman controlling it. She aimed at a beast which was about to attack Jak, causing it to simply fall harmlessly to the side. "They keep coming!" She screamed.

"There, shoot that thing!" Daxter stood upon her shoulder, and was using her gun to fend off any attacks while she aimed for the weird flower like objects that clung to the rocks and trees. The barrels became hot as streams of Dark Eco were launched from them and towards the flowers. They went down easily, to Sake's delight, and she quickly took care of nearly a third of the creatures. However, Jak was doing his fair share of good. Though the beasts were made of Dark Eco, they stood no chance against Jak's blasts of it. He threw wave after wave of Dark Eco at the creature, panting heavily. Soon, his reserves of Eco faded and so did his latter form. Unholstering his gun, he continued fighting against the waves and waves of creatures. There weren't many left, and Sake was doing a fine job of taking care of the reproducing machines that kept making more and more Dark Makers.

After what seemed to be an eternity of conflict, the last creature fell to the ground, little bolts of eco dancing around its headless form. Jak and Sake both panted heavily and Daxter simply dropped the gun which he had held tightly for so long. "Phew, we did it." Jak said confidently before dipping his head into the water. He flung it around, then pulled it out and shook his hair around wildly. Sake nearly bust a gut at the way he looked. "You could have scared them off with your hair." She smirked evilly, but then was tackled playfully by Jak.

"Lets see what you look like when we dunk you." And so, he lifted her into his arms and was about to drop her into the water when his communicator alarmed. "Yeah? Fine, I'll get it down." The blonde hung up and put it into his pocket once more. "Samas says to stop fooling around and get to the astro viewer." Jak grumbled, then jumped into the water. Sake did the same, swimming behind him to the pillars. As they climbed up onto the edge, they rose and carried them to the top.

"Your telescope awaits." Sake gave Jak a little bow with a wink and he rolled his eyes. He placed his hands on the optical of the device and looked into it. The moment he did so, he let out a scream of pain.
