Daxter felt the cool wind rushing in his face. One day, just one day to be human he wished and he got it. Maybe not the way he would of liked but he wasn't the furry animal anymore. He swished his vehicle from side to side, remembering how he'd raced in the Class Two Championship. It was easier now because he was more suited for the vehicle and he was bigger.

They reached the wall in the water slums and went through the door. Daxter felt the sand beneath his feet as he stepped out. He felt the cool breeze whistle through his fluoro hair… well Jak's fluoro hair anyway.

It really did feel good to be human again.

Daxter pulled out the morph gun and changed it to Peace Maker mode. He couldn't help but let out a smile.

"Come on Jak. Lets go and see what his baby can do!" Daxter found his voice deep and menacing

"Just be careful" he heard his old high tone voice coming from his shoulder

"Would you stop worrying Jak? Kill some Metal Heads and save the day, how hard can it be?" he replied confidently and started to run

"Oh brother" Jak groaned

Daxter saw some Metal Heads coming his way. He fired up the Peace Maker. He felt the powerful and commanding weapon vibrate in his hands, gathering energy at the point. Daxter was surprised how strong it was and fought for control of it.

He gritted his teeth and aimed the best as he could at the approaching Metal Heads. Almost straight away he released the trigger and the power shot out from the gun, sending unprepared man backwards.

The light dodgerblue travelled through the air, curving from its straight path. It smacked into the first Metal Head and its power spread to two others nearby. With a growl they fell and disintegrated leaving their metal Skull Gems Behind.

Daxter sat there on the sand, his features were in an expression of amazement and achievement.

"Wow that was amazing" Daxter breathed

Jak rolled his eyes but said nothing.

"No wonder Sig likes Peace Makers!" Daxter continued

More Metal Heads approached replacing the ones that fell.

"Get off your ass and shoot those Metal Heads, Dax!" Jak urged seeing the potential danger approaching

"Yeah, yeah" Daxter said in monotone

Daxter rose to his feet with the gun. He pulled the trigger again and aimed. He gripped the gun hard and steaded himself with this body posture. He fired and his feet stopped him from falling back again.

More Metal Heads went down. Double the number replaced them.

"Uh, Daxter…" Jak started

"I got it under control Jak!" Daxter replied and charged the Peace Maker again.

"Behind you!" Jak finished

Daxter quickly turned and saw a gorilla looking Metal Head lunging for him. Daxter was caught in surprise and off guard. He tried to regain by firing his weapon at the attack but he was just too slow. The Metal Head had knocked him down and Daxter realised the trigger, leaving the bolt to float away aimlessly, hitting nothing.

"AHHH!" Daxter cried, "JAK, HELP!"

"Crap" Jak cursed as he rose from his fallen point.

Jak saw Daxter struggling with the Metal Head on top of him. Daxter may have Jak's body but he had no first hand experience dealing with Metal Heads. Jak ran towards his gun and heaved it up. He found it was sort of heavy since his body muscles were different but it hindered him no less. Jak switched into his action, fighting mode and switched the gun to Blaster mode. He aimed at the Metal Head and shot it. Yellow bullets found it's mark on the creature and it screeched before disintegrating.

"Thanks" Daxter gasped

"Move" Jak ordered

Daxter did as he was told and Jak changed from the long-range gun to the machine gun. His muscles were starting to strain from the new heavy weight. He gritted his teeth and his brow narrowed.

"Eat this" he cried melodramatically and pulled the trigger

The gun started up and blue bullets sprayed out hitting the approaching Metal Heads. Many screeched and died. Jak moved his small Ottsel posture from side to side sweeping the area, making sure he got all the monsters.

He released the trigger when there was none left alive. Jak turned to Daxter.

"Thanks Jak" Daxter said relieved

Jak switched to Blaster mode and approached his friend.

"You can't always use the Peace Maker Dax" Jak told him, "Its too slow when Metal Heads are coming in packs and coming up fast. That's why there are other gun modes"

"Yeah, yeah" Daxter shooed, he didn't like lectures

Daxter grabbed for the gun but Jak pulled away.

"Daxter this is important!" Jak growled, "If you listen you can save both our skins"

Daxter got offended, "Why should I listen to you? Your not the boss of me!"

"No but you need to know how to use my gun" Jak said coolly

"I know how to use it" Daxter growled

"If you knew how to use it, you wouldn't have needed my help would you?" Jak pointed out

"I had things under control until you came in all macho and showed off" Daxter folded his arms

"What? You asked for my help- you know what? Fine, if your going to be that then go ahead. Just don't come running to me when Metal Heads are eating you alive" Jak dropped the gun and turned

He walked away. Daxter glared at his friend.

"Fine! Walk away! See if I care!" Daxer shouted after him

He saw his old Ottsel body disappearing in nearby bushes. Daxter sighed and picked up Jak's old gun. He looked at it for a while then dismissed all thoughts of Jak from his mind and tucked the gun away in the holster.

He started to climb the machinery and explore the station. He saw a group of Metal Heads walking in one direction. In curiosity he hid behind a rock and watched them. When they disappeared from view he followed them.

He tiptoed from one hiding point to another until he followed the group of Metal Heads to a deserted sandy shore. He couldn't believe his eyes. Thousands of Metal Heads crowded the once large empty beach. Growling, hissing, screeching in their own language. Some shoved each other; others were restless and kept moving about. Daxter never saw so many in one place.

"Now I wish I hadn't pissed Jak off," Daxter muttered. He realized what he said and shook his head, "What am I saying? I don't need him! I've been always capable of taking care of myself. I did that for 2 years while he was in prison…"

He trailed off, realizing he was talking to himself. Great! That's all I need, to go crazy while spying on a bunch of Metal Heads, he thought.

"That's it!" Daxter murmured to himself, "To go crazy…"

He looked around but the place was clean. He needed Dark Eco extracts to build up his power then no more Metal Heads. But there was none. He knew that Metal Heads contain Dark Eco in their blood and the only chance of getting any of that is to kill them. To kill them in this crowd would be suicide.

He didn't want to kill himself while he had one chance to be human, or to be Jak. He breathed deeply to try and clear his mind for a plan. He looked around the crowd and saw that more Metal Heads seemed to be coming in and even with the numbers the beach wasn't entirely full.

Daxter had a chance. A chance to find and isolate all the Metal Heads that are still coming to this meeting, a chance to build up his Eco power and a chance to kill the Metal Heads in one go. It will hinder the Metal Head leader in his conquest to destroy the city.

Daxter smiled wickedly as his idea took hold. It may be crazy going in to the middle of the crowd and unleashing untold power but Daxter, for some strange reason, felt a bit of a daredevil and felt like he could take them all on while under the Dark Eco.

Daxter wasted no more time and ran off to find isolated Metal Heads.
