Disclaimer: I don't own the rights to any of these games. I just play them.
BTW I'm pretty sure Sphinx is mute. The game doesn't have voiceovers, just text, but I haven't really seen Sphinx talk in the entire game. Lets just say that the Mummy isn't, mmkay? :3
My brother's only part way through JakII. Don't blame me for inaccuracies. BTW, the mission Jak and Daxter are on here is not one that is seen in the game, I don't think. Haven't played it all the way through, yet.

'thinking'
"Talking"
I don't think this has much of a plot. Just an idea I came up with.
guy from Scene 24 appears lets get on with it!
(don't own Monty Python either... ;;)

Sphinx was lying in the warm sun, soaking up the sun's rays. It had been a long time since the prophecy was completed, and a number of dangers were overcome since then. Sphinx was now a very strong young demi-god, with his sidekick Tutankhamun. Lying in the sands near Anubis's temple, he dosed off slightly, only to be awoken by Anubis himself.
"Young Sphinx, there is a new task for you," he said, making his enterance VIA teleportation. "A new prophecy has been uncovered by the soothsayer in the pharaoh's palace. You remember him – the chameleon,"
Sphinx's eyes fluttered open, and being mute, he just nodded while raising his hand to shield his eyes from the sun's rays.
"Come with me, Sphinx, we shall meet your teacher in a room of the portal god," Anubis turned around, and before teleporting away, he added – "quickly now, in Abydos,"

Jak stared down at the dark abyss that was before him. If he missed this jump, he'd fall, certainly to his doom. Common sense leaving him entirely, he barrel rolled and then jumped far over the gaping crack in the ground.
Success!
"Hey Jak! There's that round thing in the ground the fat guy asked us to check out!" Daxter leapt off his shoulder and ran towards the big thing. (Okay, this next part is a bit Stargate SG1, but whatever...) It had symbols scribbled all along the outside, outlining a large eggshell like marble disk.
"I dare you to step on it," Daxter joked.
"Dare accepted," Jak replied, jumping onto the slightly elevated marble platform. After a short pause, Jak continued. "It looked so fragile, like an egg," He began jumping up and down on it, but it was sturdy.
"Yeah. Maybe something'll hatch out of it," Daxter rolled his eyes, and joined his friend on the platform. Daxter tried to read what was carved on the outside, but failed miserably. "Stupid... what's this written in, anyways!?"
"English. Can't you read?"
Daxter's eyes wandered around for a moment.
"Daxter, you can't read!?" Jak was obviously joking about the scripture being written in English, but had found a little interesting tidbit of information in the process.
"Hey look!" Daxter exclaimed, pointing in some obscure direction.
"I'm not falling for it, Dax," Jak replied, sighing heavily. Where Daxter was pointing to, though, was a glowing piece which was placed on the wall – like a gemstone covered with dirt. The area around it began to smoke and it crumbled, revealing a large stone sculpture of a sphinx with an odd headdress. The statue leaned forewards, and once it yelled, it took Jak totally by surprise; scaring the bejesus out of him. Before they knew it, they were teleported to another land...

Sphinx was in the sewer once again, a place he rarely visited anymore, because of the lack of needing to. He ran along the sides of this ancient place, until he came upon the portal god. There, he saw Anubis and his old teacher, along with the Mummy and the soothsayer.
"Sphinx, as you know already, a new prophecy has been uncovered by this soothsayer," his teacher told him, as the Mummy nodded. "He has predicted a new evil,"
"Not exactly an evil," he piped up; "but a rival. This once rivals your power, your strengths, and he brings new weapons to rival yours. He is skilled at long ranged attacks, but has, what seems to be, another self – darker and more sinister than his light," The Mummy looked he was going to have a heart attack – he had had enough of all this adventure; catching fire, conducting electricity, being flattened, and being split.
"Therefore, we should at least greet this power into this new world, should we not, Sphinx?" Sphinx's temper wasn't very hard to control, but it still angered him slightly when people asked him questions. 'It's not like I can give an answer other than a nod to symbolize 'yes' and a shake to symbolize 'no'.' he sighed. 'Sometimes I wonder if these people are morons...'
The portal god leaned forewards suddenly, screaming and glowing, shaking Sphinx violently from his train of thoughts and the Mummy also. Sphinx did a back flip with cat-like agility and grace, and tensed, ready for an assault; whilst Anubis just turned his head coolly. His teacher disappeared with the soothsayer, and the Mummy... The Mummy was getting up off the ground, which had broken his fall when he tripped over his own feet.
A teen with blonde hair and green highlights appeared, along with an orange ferret thing. He was wearing something unlike anything Sphinx had ever seen before, and the ferret looked like he was going to have a heart attack.
"Jak, never, ever, ever, in your whole damn life, listen to that fat guy ever again..." the Ferret suddenly said.
'There goes the idea of donating that thing to the Abydos museum...'
"Who the hell are you?" Jak asked, looking around at Anubis (who has the head of a Jackal) the Mummy (all wrapped in bandages) and Sphinx (who is half cat).
Sphinx clenched his fists. 'Again with the questions...' he grunted response, and looked at Anubis, who was trying not to chuckle.
"Sphinx is mute," Anubis replied, motioning over to the half-cat. "I am the god Anubis, and this is Tutankhamun, the Cursed Mummy,"
Jak and Daxter exchanged sceptical looks.
"Did you feed me drugs?" Daxter asked Jak seemingly out-of-the-blue. "I think I'm hallucinating,"
"Why the hell would I feed you drugs!? I'd probably just feed you a laxative," Jak snickered.
"That was YOU!?"
Jak smirked triumphantly, and stepped off the platform. "So, where is this place? Why is he mute?"
"-You- used to be mute, Jak," Daxter replied, grumpily.
"Shut up," he said, turning back to Anubis.
"Where is this place?"
"This is the thriving city of Abydos. I must now go back to Heliopolis, there is business to attend to," and with that, Anubis disappeared.
"This place is fiiiiiiiiillll-thy," Daxter said, just as Anubis disappeared, running a finger down the walls. "I bet you get death threats from Mr. Clean,"
Sphinx growled, in a masculine, feline way. That rat was mighty tempting to chew on, right about now...
"Don't tell me you live here! Do you?" Jak laughed, looking around.
Sphinx tensed, and his fists released, revealing sharp feline claws, like a lion's.
"Uhhh..." Tutankhamun piped up, stepping forewards. "No, this is actually just a sewer and a well. The city of Abydos is upstairs, and even then we just roam around,"
Sphinx glared at Tutankhamun for a moment, before turning back to Jak and Daxter.
"Well, -he- roams around. I live in Anubis's temple," he concluded.
"Why is he still mute?" Jak asked, pointing to Sphinx, who's mind was currently occupied with Daxter.
'Keep moving, rat thing... Closer... closer...' Sphinx thought, his tail moving back and forth, tensing for the pounce. 'Just a little more...'
Jak took Daxter by the neck when he noticed what Sphinx was doing; Sphinx was ready to leap on and kill his pal in just moment, seemingly hypnotized by his movements. Jak shot Sphinx a glare, which he readily returned for removing his prey. The Mummy watched as the two tried to stare the other down.
After what seemed like an hour, the mummy spoke up; "Why don't we go upstairs, out of the sewer..." and Daxter readily agreed.
TBC!

Yaaay! That's it!
Sphinx: glare
Jak: glare
Me: More staring in the next chapter. I think I might try to find a way to get Sphinx to talk, as well... :3
Maybe even get Sphinx a dark half...? Iunno. All of these are just more ideas. Review and tell me things. Flames will be used to roast marshmallows and melt pens.
