Disclaimer: I don't own the rights to any of these games. I just play them.

Another review! ;O; I'm so happy...and people are so kind

Lous-Me: I don't really know that much about the precursors, as my brother's only gotten JakII and played that. I started a game (hurrah, me, the person who barely ever plays console games) and I know only a little about it.

Don't own Swiffer. Hey, they're in the future, right? We're in the past, so stuff invented now exists then. I think.

'thinking,'

"talking,"

On with the story, and liberation from foul, foul art block!

Daxter looked around. "Some of this crap looks like ... hey, Precurser crap! Weird," he ran another finger across the floor. "Do you people ever clean? Have you ever heard of a Swiffer!?"

"No, not really. This is not the commoner's side of town, ya'know!?" Sphinx snarled. "You've got a lot of nerve, you stupid rat thing!"

"What's a Precurser?" The Mummy suddenly asked, looking at Daxter. Daxter, however, was glaring daggers at Sphinx, who was readily glaring them back.

"A Precurser is..." Jak trailed off, looking around. "Hey, what the hell are you, anyways?" prodding Sphinx, he almost got chopped in two by a flash of light. Jak jumped backwards as Sphinx got into a defensive position with his Sword of Osiris at hand.

"What's your problem, anyways!?"

"You want to know my problem!?" he snarled, the sword dissappearing. "I'm involved in yet another prophecy, and with someone that rivals my power – like the Geb Queen wasn't hard enough to beat, then you and your rat walk onto the scene, protected by Anubis himself, and if that isn't enough, your rat that I can't stand or eat starts insulting Abydos, all the while my hunger grows." Sphinx had to take a breather, as the rant was a long one and he didn't pause for a moment of it. Jak just stared, open mouthed for a second, along with Daxter. "You know the last time I've eaten!? Hmm!? The last thing I ate was..." he trailed off, looking at the ground. "Was... Well, I can't remember. It was probably a tiny portion of a healing plant I had to collect," he sighed. "Ah, to have good food – what I'd give for a good meal right about now..."

Sphinx's eyes glazed over, staring hungrily at Daxter. Jak had to snap his fingers in front of Sphinx's face, in order to snap him out of it. "I'm sure we could find something," Jak said, deep in thought. "Something that isn't orange, a member of the rodent family, can talk, or my pal."

Sphinx glared at him, annoyed. "We should go down to the docks. Maybe there's fish in a barrel or something,"

The Mummy scratched the back of his head, shyly. "Well, I think we should start on that mission Anubis gave us,"

"What mission?" Jak, Daxter, and Sphinx all asked in unison.

"Oh, right, you three weren't there. Well, we have to... uh...have to..."

"Don't tell me you forgot," Sphinx said dryly.

"'Kay,"

There was a long pause, as the Mummy said nothing more.

"You forgot?" Jak growled.

"I'm not telling," The Mummy replied, as if he was being asked if he liked Nefertiti.

Sphinx sighed. "Maybe we have to go find that soothsayer, and ask him. There's a boat near the Abydos docks that'll take us to Heliopolis (A/N: I think that's where the Eyes of Ra were) for a small fee. I hope you brought scarabs, I've only got enough for me. The Mummy can stow away by becoming transparent" – he snarled at the memory of Horus and the jewel– "and I don't think the rat needs fare,"

"We're getting off on the wrong foot, aren't we," Jak sighed. "Look, I don't want to be your enemy, I don't want to be your rival, I want to go back home and flirt with the mechanic,"

"Fine. I was lying. I have fare for two. C'mon, you don't have an enchanted zipline so we have to use the stairs,"

Heliopolis (I think oO')

Sphinx darted towards a small platform, in which an orange substance was smoking off of it. Jak, Daxter, and the Mummy just stared at him, as he reached it and darted towards the temple with breakneck speed.

"Cool!" Daxter shouted, and scampered towards the platform. As soon as he stepped off of it, he was zooming after Sphinx. Jak looked at them funny, before following them without using the platform. The Mummy, though, used the platform and zoomed after them. Though, being the clumsy prince that he is, he slipped and skidded along the passage.

'Weirdos...' Jak thought as he followed into the dark passageway. Soon, his eyes adjusted to the darkness, and he followed the path of destruction left by the mummy. He was the last one to enter the room, in which the Soothsayer, Sphinx (who had Daxter in his clutches), and the Mummy were in. Jak purposely cleared his throat from behind Sphinx, startling him slightly so he let go of Daxter. He smiled, doing his best to look innocent.

"We were just playing..."

"Playing what? A good game of 'Let's eat Daxter?'"

"No..." Sphinx trailed off. "Shush. The Soothsayer is talking,"

Jak grunted with annoyance.

"As I was saying, this prophecy goes as such; 'Two strangers arrive from the land of the sea, by magic and mystery and the help of the gods.' That would be you two arriving in Abydos by the Portal God," he motioned to Jak and Daxter. "It continues – 'The savior of the land, restorer of peace and order, would speak out against the rivals, watery fangs ready.'" The soothsayer chuckled. "I think it's now telling of your affections toward the creature,"

Sphinx coughed. "Continue,"

"'Yet one thing relentlessly poses a question, the ruined Precursers of old. Answers are found in history's wake, of the mount that threatens Heliopolis.'" The soothsayer moved his walking stick somewhat more to his side with a tap. "I am unsure what that means, my friends. I told you before to go ask the archaeologist, he has uncovered something new," and with that, he walked off.

"What the hell?" Sphinx asked, blinking. "Precurser?"

"Uhhh..." Jak and Daxter exchanged glances. "Mount that threatens Heliopolis?"

"Yeah, the volcano to the... some direction. There's a wall, now," Sphinx replied, with glee.

'I was in Uruk the whole time. How many adventures did Sphinx have, exactly?' Tutankhamun thought to himself.

"Well, the archaeologist lives beyond that wall, I'm pretty sure in the red tent village. The barrier's down, no worries, but there are knife cats in the desert sands. It's not a very tough journey, since I put all the Atun eyes back in their sockets. That's if you enjoy running across hot sand at breakneck speed,"

Jak and Daxter, and even the Mummy stared at him, all the while wagging his lion tail and smirking.

"You act as if we know what you're talking about," Jak stated, somewhat blankly.
