...Do I really need a disclaimer saying that I don't own Sphinx and JakII? Huh? HUH!?
-dances around with Lous-Me- :3 Don't worry, I almost forgot about Sekhment. She's my favourite. Doesn't sound like it at the moment, I know, but she just rawks, being the goddess of war :3
...Don't be sad, either. I'm planning a major plot twist, anyways :0 ....because.... I love Sphinx too D: and Jak. ........ I have a thing for PS2 heroes, don't I? ;.;
Woah, the chapters just get smaller and smaller, don't they? XDDD Here's a somewhat long one, then :3
Ta da!

The rest of the month passed swiftly, and Sphinx made swift progress in his recovery. He was still a little weak, but stopped the occasional trips over his own feet to the floor. He'd gotten to know the floor very well, actually, in just the few days he started walking again. In no time, he was even running.
Running after a certain rodent, whose name starts with 'D' ...
"I'm gonna' kill you!" Sphinx yelled, pouncing on Dax. Dax, on the other hand, turned a sharp corner sending Sphinx crashing into the wall. He then slid downwards, onto the floor. Mumbling a few Egyptian curses, he peeled himself off the wall, and turned in Daxter's direction angrily. He came face to knee with Jak, with Daxter on his shoulder, looking smug.
"Okay, I know you're just healing, but I'll have to kick your ass if you try to eat Daxter again." Jak said, sternly, arms crossed over his chest, looking down on Sphinx.
"I'd like to see you try, long ears." He smirked, baring his teeth.
"Next time we'll see..." Jak muttered, turning around. Daxter stuck his tongue out at Sphinx, before he was forcibly taken from Jak's shoulder. Dax clung for dear life, and Sphinx pulled.
"You know you want to get eaten! Don't you want to know what the inside of my stomach looks like!?" Sphinx joked, earning him a punch in the face. Sphinx was thrown aback, and stumbled. His hand went up to his nose, and came away, revealing blood on his fingers. "You punched me!"
"I said I'd kick your ass, didn't I?" Jack said, inspecting his knuckles coolly.
"Technically, you didn't kick my ass yet, but punched me in the face." Sphinx replied, low growl emitting from his throat. Daxter was killing himself laughing.
"Shut up, rodent." Sphinx hissed, glaring daggers at him. Daxter started in horror as Sphinx's eyes became totally black, and his skin became darker. Jak saw his nails grow dangerously long and sharp, and large ram horns sprout from his head. Sphinx got up, wiping the blood from under his nose, and shaking it off onto the wall. Growling viciously, he went for Jak's throat; but was subdued from behind.
"Calm yourself, Sphinx. The darkness shall not take you, you are a creature of light," said Anubis, soothingly. Sphinx was struggling, and his breathing was uneven, which worried Jak. Because, right now, he was marked for death. "Sphinx..."
Anubis looked at his face, and then to Sphinx's. "Why is he bleeding?"
"I punched him."
"Why?"
"He was going to eat Daxter. I said I would kick his ass, and he challenged the threat."
Anubis snarled. "I thought you knew better, boy. Go, I will see you in the dining hall."
"Whatever..." Jak replied, strolling off. Once he was out of sight, Sphinx stopped struggling, and slowly but surely reverted back to normal. Light headed and dizzy, he staggered for a moment, before he fell backwards. He was caught by Anubis, who started dragging him back towards his room.
---
A few more days passed without another incident like that, and Daxter didn't even tell of the first time it happened to him. Before anyone knew it, it was time for the festival. A month had passed swiftly whilst Sphinx he was unconscious.
The three sat at a table situated at the side, near the bazaar but near the dancing and the food and drinks. It was the perfect table, actually. The crickets chirped in the cold night air, and it wasn't a warm nor chilly night.
Sphinx smirked. 'I know his song...' and leapt to his feet to go find a partner. He looked around for someone suitable, as Jak talked more with Anubis. There was a girl, who looked about his age. Her head was that of a female lion's, and she had heavy mascara on with eyeliner. Her ears were pierced, and had many gold loop earrings and much gold jewelry that matched her sandy coloured dress.
"Care to dance?" He asked, walking up to her. He flashed a smile before holding out his hand. "I'm Sphinx,"
"Bastet," was her reply, as she took his hand. They moved towards the center, where many couples were dancing; and started. Jak and Anubis watched from the sidelines, talking seriously about Sphinx.
"Do you happen to know anything about the... Evil Sphinx?" Anubis asked.
"I think he'd be called Dark Sphinx. I have a Dark side as well, Dark Jak, but I have learned to control it." Jak continued, "But then again, there is dark eco in my world. This is the ... dark force that comes from the creatures that are evil."
"Ah..." Anubis replied, sipping from his golden goblet, then set it back onto the table. "Go, have fun. I have to think privately on this,"
"Can do, Jakie," Jak replied, getting up, leaving a slightly dumbfounded Anubis in his wake.
"Jakie?"
"You're a jackal," Jak sighed.
"I should be calling you Jakie, Jak."
"Call me that, and die."
"Oh, how the tables have turned..." Anubis chuckled.

Sphinx was dancing with Bastet merrily, before Jak came along. "Mind if I have this dance?" he laughed, and he left with Bastet. Sphinx snarled viciously, before walking back to the empty seat beside Anubis.
"Can I kill Jak in his sleep? Please." Sphinx growled, barely audiable.
"Excuse me?" Anubis replied. "I thought you wanted to kill Dax in his sleep. If I recall correctly, you've tried."
"Daxter didn't do anything. He just looks tasty." Sphinx said, scratching marks into the wooden table. "Jak, on the other hand, just stole my dance partner."
"Go get another one, then."
"I'll look stupid! I got Bastet at the start of the dance!" Sphinx yelled. "Then Jak just came and .... Left..." he trailed off. He'd scratched a large dent into the table before Anubis realised it.
"I'll dance with you, then, Sphinx." Sighed a girl, who sounded quite annoyed with him. Sphinx, startled, jumped and hit his knees on the table. His head hit the lantern that was directly above him.
"Anubis..." he said, nails dug into the wood as if he were going to be dragged away kicking and screaming and clawing at the ground. "Is that who I think it is...?"
"Who do you think it is?" Anubis replied, amusement dripping from that once sentence by the bucketful.
"S...e...kh....met..." Sphinx said, slowly turning around look at the female. What he saw was a girl only a little shorter than himself, with a lion's head like Bastet. This one looked meaner, though, and had a different outfit on. Sekhmet had very tan skin, like his own, but a LOT more gold jewelry. Very dark purple mascara and black eyeliner adorned her face, accenting glowing green eyes, along with a gold loop nose ring in the fashion a bull would wear it. Her dress was revealing to see the least, a white top (if you play Age of Mythology, you'll know what I mean... uhhh, here's a link; guidesmedia.ign. com /guides/ 15972 /images/ Sekhmet.JPG I know I'm not very original ;.; you'll have to take the spaces out. There's also a Bast.JPG) with matching skirt. "You're...different," he studdered, "since I last saw you."
"And you haven't changed a bit," she replied mockingly, smirking maliciously. "Dance or not?"
"Uh..." he looked over to Anubis, eyes pleading 'HELP ME MAN!', but he just chuckled in return. "Uhhh...."
