Some time passed and Daxter was way ahead of the crowd, and YES! He passed the finish line with mere seconds to spare as the pack came in screaming behind him. The humungous crowd roared with delight at the orange furry Ottsel. Shouts and cheers from several girls in the east block, front row, 5th from the right caught his attention and he blew a kiss to them. "Call me!" He shouted in a sly voice as he slicked his ears back. He was so happy as he continued to do a victory lap around the track. One more round, then he noticed Sake and Jak sitting at the back of the crowd, smiling and sitting very close.
They sat up and left. Sake waved for him to follow them and he did, back to the garage with his beautiful Class 2 trophy topped with a solid Precursor metal NYFE zoomer miniature.
"So when do I get the winner's big kiss?!" Daxter smiled to Tess as he furrowed his fuzzy eyebrows. She giggled.
"Maybe if your a good boy..." she patted his head and continued to giggle at the creature's antics. He turned and saw Jak and Sake stroll up behind him.
"We sure showed those Class 2 losers a thing or 2, eh?" He joked, watching everyone smile at him. Keira also complemented the litle guy on his big win, because they could now qualify for the class one race.
"Way to go Dax, you did it!" Sake smiled as she knelt down beside him and scratched his chin. He started to purr slightly.
"Oh yeah, thats feels good...." A large, sly smile played across his features as he seemed to melt like clay in her hands.
"I'm proud of you Dax..." Jak knelt down as well, almost face to face with the fuzzball.
"Really?" he layed his ears back as he gave jak his big solefull(sp?) crocadog eyes.
"Yeah, you did great..." the blonde smiled, petting his friend on the head.
"No..." Daxter paused for a moment and jumped up onto Jak's shoulder. "We did great! Right partner?"
Keira, who had been standing idol near tess, just glared at the three and turned so she wouldnt see him. She was still pissed off at Jak and didnt feel like talking to him at the moment.
Jak's comm unit began to buzz again, so he pulled it out and opened it. Krew's voice played through.
"Sake, Krew wants to see us...." jak peered over at Sake, and see let out a heavy groan of displeasure.
"That's the last place I want to go...." Her blue eyes fixed on Keira, who looked back and shot daggers at her with her eyes. Sake backed away a bit, afraid Keira might go ninja on her or something.
The odd trio departed from the Garage and 'borrowed' a rather sleek newly painted zoomer from a civi. He started to cuss them out. "I just got that thing painted!!!!"
"Get friggin over it!!!" Sake joked as Jak sped away. They all laughed, except for their victim, who was foaming at the mouth with anger.
Some time passed and they pulled up to the HipHog. They entered and sat at a booth with Sig after Daxter got them all a drink from behind the counter. Krew must of passed out while they were on their way there, because he was just floating around, asleep, his tongue dangling out of his mouth with drool leaking onto his face.
Sig disussed with them about how he wanted to quit doing dirty work bacause it was getting rather heavy. Daxter wanted to give him a hug, and yelled. This woke Krew up, making him remember his latest job as soon as he noticed Jak and Sake sitting in the booth.
Yet another sewer job. They had to escort three of Krew's best men into the sewers to retrieve an artifact from the statue of Mar they had found earlier on in their adventure into its murky waters.
Jak, Daxter, and Sake arrived at the sewers and were greeted by the 3 wastelanders Krew hired for the job.
"Look, its pretty boy..." one smirked as he eyed Jak. He looked at Sake with a sly smile on his face. "Well, hello there sweet cheeks...." he sipped a bit on a cigar before flicking off the ashes.
She didnt respond but instead walked ahead, giving them the cold shoulder. She pulled out her gun and changed it to Vulcan. "C'mon Jak...." She shouted as she waited just before the elevator. The entire group climbed on and rode to the bottom, only to be ambushed by a new breed of Metal Head. The breed was called Hose Heads because they had lasers mounted to their nose which they used to sweep over the ground and catch their prey off guard.
They were easy anough to dispatch though. That is, if you were quick enough on the trigger. The teens watched Jynx's back as he set the charges. "Cover your ears!" yelled Mog, one of the rather dumber members. "You mean cover your ass!" Jynx replied. A few seconds later, the bomb exploded, unclogging their path so they could continue further on through the sewers. The group trudged on through, taking out a Hose Head here and there. Jynx was enjoying every minute of the mission, untill they reached a particular room. They could all hear a hissing noise coming from the roof above.
"Sounded like I got gas...." Mog smiled, but that jovial smile faded when he noticed hundreds of Hose Heads crawling around on the roof, All of them had their bright yellow eyes fixed on the 6.
"Jak, the ceiling's crawling!!!" Grim screamed, dropping his gun. Jak responded to the scream with a smile. There was nothing as exciting as killing Metal Heads. He aimed his Vulcan up, and let it rip. Sake followed the same procedure, dropping a good few herself.
While they provided cover fire, Jynx prepared to blast open the next passageway that lead to the statue. The last Metal Head dropped to the ground right after it screamed in pain as about 20 rounds of Vulcan ammo entered its body. Jynx stepped back a few feet, giving himself enough distance between him and the explosion. "Man that was close...." he sighed, relieved the ambush had been taken care of. He moved several corpses out of the way and continued further on down the beaten path, followed the others.
Ant there it was, the statue of Mar. At the top of a staff in his hands was a gem that once acted as a keyhole for the Ruby Key Krew wanted from a pravious mission. All 3 men of the bomb squad layed their most powerful charges at the base of the statue and blew it sky high.
"No!" Jak yelled right before he was blown back into a wall, and into Sake. They were pinned up against the wall by the enormous head of the statue.
"Great job, Holdylocks! We'll get the booty and take it to Krew! Oh yeah, and I'll put in a good word about you two!" Jynx, Mog, and Grim left without even helping the young teens out, so they had to do it themselves.

Both Jak and Sake had collected sevaral Skull Gems from the Metal Heads and was ready to recieve their 3rd power, the power to become invinsible, but ONLY in their Dark forms. With a quick trip to the Oracle, they had obtained it after turning in 200 hundred of the odd glowing yellow gems. It also gave them a little more insight on the situation at hand. The Metal Head armies were growing stronger by the day, and soon, Haven would fall prey to their ever growing forces, but Jak and Sake refused to let that happen, at least not while they were there.
They headed for the gun course to get their last gun, the Peace Maker. A short trip through the Port took them back to Krew's bar, the HipHog. There, they found Erol, who challenged Jak to a race through the city, using accelerator rings. It either one of them missed even one, they would be disqualified.
Erol once again approached Sake, the same sleezy smile on his smug tattooed face, and once again, she mouthed off to him. This time she threatened to kill him on the spot, but she couldnt. If she did, time would faulter and lose its delacate balance. Jak accepted the challenge, which wasnt really suprising to Sake.
She had tried many times to beat this mission, but Erol keapt pushing her into a wall or off of the track, making her miss an accelerator ring. As Jak raced him, she followed close behind on a slower zoomer. If they got too far ahead of her, she would be okay bacause she knew practically every inch of the city by heart. Luckily, Jak won because Erol had to turn a wrong away to avoid slammming into a fast oncoming wall.
"Dont get cocky outlaw!" Erol hissed as he glared at the blonde, who was busy cheering himself on. "Next time we race for keeps, and your head will be my trophy!!!" With that, he drove away. He obviously wasnt too happy about losing to the man he enjoyed torturing with Dark Eco for two years.
"Ahhh, blow it out your ear, you were bottle fed, weren't you?!" Daxter quipped, a smile on his furry mug.
"Nice driving!" Sake rode up next to Jak. "He didnt look too happy....."
"What a wimp!" Daxter crossed his arms. "That race was too easy...."
"Oh yeah, I didnt see you driving!" Jak poked Daxter's stomach, making him laugh a bit.
"Let's go...." Daxter growled. He tried to look angry. He failed miserably, making jak and Sake burst out laughing. The public looked at them funny.
