Some time later, a set of torches was seen flying high in a tribe hideout on Misty Island. The flames kept on rising higher and higher as the sunset quickly occurred. A whole group of purple lurkers danced around the flames to a tribal beat around them, around a large totem pole. As we look higher up it… we see Daxter, now unconscious, tied up to it. Among the crowd, a pink lurker came in dressed up in a waitress outfit.
"Whoa, hello there you sexy mama!" said one of the normal Lurkers. "Mind if we go on a date?"
The pink lurker retaliated, and took off a bobble in her hair…
"Just watch who you're talking to!" she spoke with… a male voice, proving that she's a HE! "Just because I'm pink, I wear a maiden's outfit and I have a ponytail doesn't mean that I'm a girl, fat boy!"
"Well at least I'm still up for an offer", applauded another lurker. "If you're a homosexual, how about we go for a relationship with each other."
The pink lurker sighed with anger. "For bloomin' 'eck's sake… look here - I didn't come to this tribe just to be part of a flamin' freakshow! All that I know is that I came here for opportunities, yet why do you have to not let me get them?"
"You do have your opportunities, Bubba", blinked the first lurker.
"Well it said on the advertisement that I get 400 Precursor Orbs an hour!" he retaliated back. "I get weekends off! And I don't do night shifts!"
The second regular lurker showed a shadier look about him. "Well you didn't read the small print - it's a contrast to what pink lurkers have to do."
Bubba then sighed and stomped his feet on the ground. "That's it! I'm outta this damn junkyard! I'll go jump off a cliff!"
This only left the two other lurkers to laugh at him. Bubba turned back at them with a completely strange and suspicious look stretched right across his very cute and very furry face.
"What do you think is so funny?" Bubba growled back at the two other lurkers.
"I don't think you have the guts for things like that!" shouted the first one.
"All you'd ever do is hide away in some cave somewhere", the second one followed.
"And besides, there's barely any cliffs around here!"
"Unless you wanna get fed to the man-eating sharks…"
"Oi, we won't get eaten by sharks, we're not human!"
"Sorry."
As those two started to chat back and forth, all that Bubba could do was bow his head.
"This is getting strange…" he growled at the pair. "I'd rather leave because of ignorant people like you two!"
"But you can't do that!" they both cried in unison.
Bubba brought out a set of sharp pewter claws from his paws. "Oh yes I can."
In no time at all, he started to push the crowd out of his way, and on occasion he threatened the claws onto their rather small necks. He continued to go through the horde with ease, and finally he reached the large totem pole. He dug his claws into it, and started to climb up carefully. Higher and higher he travelled, and as he looked down, he saw the mob grow into a greater rage than they have ever done before. Sweat started to pour down the side of his face.
"Get him!" the first lurker commanded.
"But sir, he's just too high", frowned the second.
And then, he stopped. He looked over at his hand's position, and he saw it stretched over Daxter's body. He tried to remain still, but he kept on shaking as he continued to look down. Finally, the whole group went towards the totem pole, and charged it down. There was a shaking as Bubba tried to hang on for dear life, but the whole thing started to fall down… towards the wall near it. As it made contact with the wooden spikes, the pole was broken, and the two of them were sent flying over it.
"What was that for?" the first one asked.
"I dunno, you asked us to build the fence ages ago!" retaliated the second.
Over the wall, Daxter managed to gain consciousness, and he looked at the creature ahead of him. His bright yellow eyes and his animalistic mouth immediately made him jump to a conclusion.
"AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" he pierced with a deafening scream. "GET AWAY FROM ME LURKER!!!!!!!!!! I DARE YOU!!!!!!!!"
"Hey calm down, I won't bite", winked Bubba.
"Why not?"
"Because I forgot my false teeth this morning."
"Oh…" Daxter blinked with a shocked look. "Freaky."
"Man, being a transvestite was hard work", Bubba sighed.
He stood up on his hind legs, and removed his maiden gown, showing a denim jacket and some acrylic shorts. Then he returned to standing on all fours. He took a bandana out from his pocket and then tied it onto his head, stuffing as much of his long hair as he could.
"That's nice meeting you here and all…" Daxter smiled, before poking at his chest. "Uh, what's your name?"
"I'm Bubba… the world's only pink lurker."
"And I'm Daxter, the world's only human-turned-otzel."
"Eh?" Bubba showed surprise. "How did you become one?"
"I just fell into some dark eco a few months ago. And what's with the pink fur?"
"It's a long story", sighed the lurker.
"I've got time."
He then braced himself carefully, as the lurker ahead of him had a tale in his heart, ready to be exposed to him.
---
A normal lurker made a run through the grassy area of the Mountain Pass. By then we see him as Bubba, but with purple fur instead of pink. His pace seemed to be twice as that of the normal speed of an otzel, and that's saying something, isn't it? He continued to run, and then he stormed into the mountain area. He saw a few lava rivers ahead of him, and he begin his journey over them by performing powerful leaps to reach the other side. Shining crystals shone on either side of the cave, and at times he admired himself in the reflection. Finally he reached the other side and popped out at some sort of lake. A lake filled with lava. Some caves were nearby, with a cable car to a mountainous area to the left, and a deep cave with spiders popping out on the right. Around it were mine carts, used for transportation. And he looked under the cliff ahead him, and saw Oracle, who gave a light wink to him.
"This must be it… I'm at Volcanic Crater!"
He saw a wrecked bridge ahead of him, leading to a tall hut in the centre of the lake. And that belonged to the Red Sage. He took hold of the railings, and cautiously crossed the bridge, stepping on each individual plank as they appeared, and also being cautious enough to not get one of his legs stuck. Balls of magma were spat out from the surface, causing a light shower of heat onto his fur. Finally, he stepped onto the balcony leading to the hut. Upon stepping inside, he saw the Red Sage, looking down at a photograph of a girl on a mantelpiece.
"I'm here from the LIP - Lurkers In Purple", smiled Bubba. "I overheard that your wife was missing…"
"WIFE?!?!?" the Red Sage exclaimed with shock. "Grrr… HOW MANY TIMES TO I HAVE TO TELL THE INSTITUTE ALREADY???? SHE'S MY DAUGHTER!!!!!!!!"
The shouting made Bubba hide under a table holding wooden barrels, whimpering after hearing him.
"Sorry", he sighed with a whimper.
"It's OK, we've had a few problems with that right now."
"OK, so when were here last recorded movements?"
"I saw her engaged in conversation with Oracle, and then she climbed up the rocky path leading through the Mountain Pass. I could tell that she was coming home, so I got to making a cup of precursucchino for her, but the next thing I knew… she was gone! I couldn't find her anywhere!"
Bubba gave off a sophisticated nod. "Right, lemme write that down…"
He gets out one of his claws, and takes out a sheet of slate from his backpack. He starts to write some brief notes on what the sage said. But then, there was a crash. He looked up, and saw two mysterious figures. Their long ears stuck out, and so did some parts of their torsos. They both started to snicker. And on first sight, he could recognise them. Gol and Maia Acheron. He took some paces back under the table for safety.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't the Red Sage", sneered Gol. "I think you'll need us for a bit of help."
"With that?" smiled the Red Sage. "I'd love to help out with your plans for White Eco."
"White? HA! Is that all you really care about? You have the right sort of energy to use plans to spread Dark Eco!"
"But… why?" he asked.
"No need to explain, we've caught two of the other sages, and they were no match for us!"
"I'll show you!" the Red Sage growled.
He looked around him, and saw an open barrel of Red Eco. Immediately, he dipped his hands inside it, and attempted to box them out of their way… but they easily blocked his attacks. He tried again, this time by dipping his whole body in it… and spilling some onto the table with barrels in it, causing them ALL to fall on top of one another! Bubba's hand stuck out from the mess.
"A lurker?" sighed Maia. "Well, just what we need… a bit of backup for our troubles. Come here!"
Bubba tried to push itself out from the mess, but he struggled. The Red Sage continued to tackle the others as good as he can… but from one corner, a glowing of Red Eco rushed towards them. Sooner enough, it pushed them out of the window… and down onto a mine cart below.
"You're pretty good, but we'll meet again", Gol shouted from his position, rubbing his back from the fall.
"Only this time you won't be a match for us!" followed Maia.
They jumped onto other minecarts, and headed into a glowing tunnel. The sign above it showed that it lead to the Lava Tube. The sage, however, looked in the direction of the glow of the Eco. He saw Bubba, covered in Red Eco power, and his fur… was now pink, instead of a regular purple.
"WHAT?!?!?" the Sage shouted. "You took all my Eco! Now you're gonna pay for this, shrimp!"
"But I saved your life…"
"No you haven't, you have ended my career!!!!!" He then growled angrily, before coming closer to the lurker. "GET OUT, AND NEVER COME BACK!"
Within seconds, he was kicked out of the hut, right to the other side of the bridge, onto his chest. He picked himself up, and started walking out of the area.
---
"So that's what happened, ey?" Daxter asked with sorrow. "I have to feel sorry for you, pal."
"I know. I'm a bit ashamed about this democracy in this world."
"Yeah, even the citizens back at Sandover Village won't even know an ottsel when they see one."
"I know…" the lurker frowned. But then he gave out a light smile. "Hey, I know someone who can help us. Someone who can stop Gol and benefit both of us! I want my fur to turn back to its regular color, and you want to…" He paused. "What?"
"I want to return the people at our village back after last night's trauma, and if we run into some White Eco I shall turn back into a humanoid, like my buddy Jak", nodded Daxter. "Speaking of which, have you seen him? He's got blonde spiky hair, blue tunic, weird hairy feet… actually, scrap that last part."
"Uh, yeah, I saw him in some cave with a girl with deep pink skin and a flut-flut."
"I thought I told him not to trust strangers. Oh well, best make a reunion quick!"
They both started to run down the rocky shores, with Bubba leading the way. Even if he has had a dramatic past, he is here today to help others, and to equalize democracy. But even now it will be extremely difficult to do ninety five million jobs all at once, wouldn't it?
---
A row of torches shone around a glowing cave, giving off a bit of dim light. From this view, three shadows can be seen. One of them was lying down, the other stood still, swaying slightly every few seconds, and the third figure was walking about, carrying objects into their enormously sized hands… no wait, they look like wings. o.O A jug of water was placed onto a nearby wooden table, and the water inside was on the verge of being spilt. The shadows of the standing figures were finally seen in the darkness, as the two young girls who encountered the Dark Eco from the night before. Except that Olga, although remaining some of the qualities in her, looks more like a flut-flut if anything.
"I still feel unsure", she asked Yolanda. "He'll change me back to human? But he's not a sage…"
"He doesn't have to be. If I can remember rightly, Jak and his friend Daxter were known for using White Eco to kill off the Dark Sage Gol… or was he killed?"
"Yeah, that's a strange thought", the flut-flut nodded. "He was trapped in Dark Eco, when we last saw him."
"Well when I came to see the sunrise this morning I think I saw Gol's shadow far out to Sandover Village."
"He just can't have been! It may be a lost lurker, can't find his party."
"I did, I'm telling you!" Yolanda shrieked out loud. "If you don't trust me, then you need to get some common sense."
"Hmph! I don't think so! If you want something that does, it's the Dark Eco."
Suddenly, there was a rustling at the far corner.
"Hold it right there, he's up", nodded Yolanda.
On the stretcher in one of the darker corners of the room, a hand started to rise. It started to rise, and then it dropped back to the ground. The eyes opened one at a time, showing them of a bright blue colour. It then started to sit up at a gradual pace, and look around the room. Both girls looked in the eyes with suspicion on their faces. As the figure finally stood up and walked to the light, he was finally seen, as Jak.
"Well, I'm glad you're finally up", Yolanda smiled at him.
"Uh… who are you guys? And what am I doing here?"
"A simple answer", started Olga. "You suffered a few problems, throughout your journey."
"Ignore her", Yolanda blushed. "She has a mad mouth for a haiku poet. Anyhow, you were washed up on the shores of Misty Island, and you ended up with a couple of wounds."
Jak looked down at his body, and saw a bandage wrapped round his left arm, and there was casting inside one of his sandals.
"Thanks", he smiled. "If I can be able to repay your favor by… uh… can you tell me about yourselves?"
"Sure. I'm Yolanda, the daughter of the Red Sage, and this is my best friend Olga."
"A haiku poet, and a Dark Eco victim, rolled up into one!" she exclaimed with a wide grin.
Having heard that, Jak couldn't help but smirk slightly.
"We're here on Misty Island to get away from the troubles at Volcanic Crater", Yolanda sighed. "I don't feel like going back."
"I wanna be back, as a human very soon. I detest flut-fluts", frowned Olga. "I have a theory, that birdseed and night flying, doesn't really cut."
"Don't panic, my friend Daxter was a lot like that…" Jak paused, giving him time to look around him. "Speaking of which, where is he?"
"What does he look like?" Yolanda asked.
"He's an ottsel… with ginger fur and a cream colored belly."
"I'm sorry, but I haven't", she frowned.
Upon hearing that remark, Jak started to panic slightly. "Well if he has drowned out at sea, then this means that I'm without a companion", he frowned while looking down.
"Why do you say that?" Olga asked. "You look as lonely as heck… or are you that way?"
"Aside from my girlfriend Keira, who is trapped on this island with the rest of the village citizens, Daxter is the only friend I've got. He may be crazy, but we show respect for each other.
"Say, didn't I see one?" Olga smiled. "I saw an otzel carried, by a lurker tribe!"
"WHAT?!?!?" Jak exclaimed with surprise.
"Don't panic", Yolanda smiled. "Just stay here. Knowing him he'd find a way out of his own mess."
"Yeah and hopefully, same thing should apply to you too, on your own mission", smiled the flut-flut.
"And on ours, especially", Yolanda blinked.
As they spoke, Jak still looked down… but gradually… his head started to lift up high, and he gave off a smile.
"Well… thank you for your confidence."
"Awww, shucks!" Yolanda responded with a blush.
As they continued to speak, two small shadow figures approached the outside area. Their fur were almost eliminated in the moonlight, but all that can be seen is blackness. They stood in a row and looked on at Jak and the two girls.
---
The torches in the cave showed within the glowing of the eyes of two spies waiting outside. During the time, Olga came towards some of the flames and added more oil, increasing their strength. They then blinked and showed themselves, as Daxter and Bubba, ironically glad to see a great friend safe and sound… or maybe it could have been a more different and anonymous reason…?
"So that blonde haired lass over there…" Daxter blinked with an ear-twitch. "You sure that's the gal who took Jak away from me?"
"Of course, why else wouldn't he be here?"
"I can't see him."
Bubba brought out his hand and pointed towards the left of the entrance. "Look, he's over there, straightening his bedding in the far corner."
"Like… whoops."
"Never mind, I won't blame you", Bubba chuckled. "Besides, that girl could be a help for us to restore us to our original forms."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, seeing that her nursing skills are excellent, and her skin is almost identical to the Red Sage's, then…" He paused before bringing his head up to the sky. "BUGGER ME!!!!"
"Now what?"
"I should have known… she's the Red Sage's daughter!" He gave out a deep frown. "If only if I realized that I had to risk my life to take her back to Volcanic Crater… then the whole world won't see me as an ugly moron."
"Well you're one of those people who haven't seen our village Mayor's fashion sense. At least yours is cool."
"Thanks", the Lurker smiled. "Anyhow, she'd be more than likely to reverse the effects of the Red Eco!"
"What, by making us meet up with stupid gruesome Gol and marshmallow headed Maia again?"
"No, she'd hopefully have another way. Anyhow, let's go inside."
And so they did. The threesome inside managed to take note of the footsteps, and they all turned directly towards the opening of the cavern. Squeals of joy were heard in that direction, as Bubba and Daxter made their run towards them. Jak started smiling at his friend once again, and the two girls looked on at Bubba with a pleasing look. Then they focused on the partner, Bubba in Jak's case, and Daxter in Yolanda's. And it didn't look very pleasing.
"What's that thing you took with you???" both Jak and Yolanda asked in unison.
"What, what's the matter?" Olga blinked with shock. "Something is wrong with Bubba? I don't see nothin'."
"But he's a lurker!" retaliated Jak.
"So?" Yolanda questioned him.
"He's… pink!"
"But he's not part of the tribe!" Daxter shouted towards them.
"Yeah, even Gol won't accept me as part of his world domination team", Bubba frowned.
"Besides, he's loyal", smiled Olga. "Last night he washed off something - Dark Eco on me."
Jak turned to Bubba, who looked up at him with an innocent facial expression on his face. His eyes were larger, and his mouth looked cuter than it ever had done before. Finally, he turned back to the others.
"All right, we'll keep him", growled Jak, "but as long as he doesn't get us into any trouble."
"YES!" Daxter smiled with a spring in his step. "I knew I'd count on you!"
"But not the ottsel!" leered Olga. "He'd give me too many fleas! Toss him out to sea!"
Yolanda shook her head gently. "But ottsels aren't all about spraying pesticide on them every few minutes. Just look at his size! He should be useful for the impossible areas of the island!"
"Are you sure about that?" asked Daxter. Because last time I came here I did none of that. All I had to do was sit around on Jak's shoulder while he did all the dirty work against the lurkers."
"Well it's not gonna be for long, buddy!" Bubba smiled. "Face it, if we want to accomplish our missions on getting your people, getting my old fur color back, transforming a flut-flut to a human and returning a girl to a place far away from here then you'd be the one who'd keep us going all the way! So what do you say Olga? You wanna let him stay or do you wanna die?"
Olga looked down at Daxter, and he looked on as she too started to ponder about him. Fleas? Well, it could be a bit of a problem, but what kind of benefits could he bring to the group? She thought carefully, until finally… she turned her head to the rest of the group.
"Fleas can go kill me, but it is a sacrifice, that I want to make", she said while bringing her head down.
Bubba gave out a light smile. "Well done Olga, that's a wise decision."
"Great, now all we have to do is to go with the flow", Yolanda chuckled to herself. "But… where can we find some of this transportation energy?"
"Uh, maybe Gol knows about this?" Jak asked.
"Hmmm… yes, difficult, very difficult", Daxter spoke in the deepest tone he could pull off, "but how will we get to him?"
"I have your answer right here!"
They all gasped at the sound of the voice. Daxter took cover onto Jak's shoulder, and Bubba hid behind Yolanda.
"Oh flamin' nora", panicked Daxter. "Don't let it be that idiot who tried to kill me off for good last night!"
A bright light came into the room, and two figures were seen within it. The fivesome looked at them for long enough, and the shadows started to become much clearer. Their structure suddenly made Daxter cower deep into Jak's clothing for his own safety, with only his tail sticking out.
The bright light surrounding the pair of them started to fade out, as the group of five looked on with a mixture of nervous, determined and irritated expressions on their faces. Within the crowd, Daxter cautiously stuck his head out from Jak's shirt, and managed to see the two figures in person. He now saw, that he and his group stood head to head, with Gol and Maia.
"OK, Mr. Dark Eco Dork", Daxter started. "What in Pete's sake do you want from us?"
"Yeah, exactly why did you find us in here?" Yolanda followed on.
The two evil siblings looked at each other square in the eye, and gave a light nod in their direction. They turned back.
"It's a funny question you've asked us", sneered Maia. "It'll be more than likely that we will ask you the same thing."
Bubba raised one of his eyebrows. "What are you talking about?"
"You need to realize, you pathetic weaklings", Gol slated the group, "that we wish to seek for control over this world, with the use of Dark Eco."
Jak just stood firm and folded his arms. "Well that's barely surprising, isn't it?"
Upon hearing that, Maia suddenly went pale, she did a small jump in the air, her eyes widened, and she started to sweat slightly.
"Hmmm… maybe so, but you don't understand exactly what we want to do with the Dark Eco", sighed Gol.
"Well tell it to us! We have the time to sit down, and listen to you!" smiled Olga with an optimistic look.
They both looked directly into the group of heroes, and right after a long and dreaded silence… they spoke.
"Sorry guys", scowled Maia, "but we weren't born to reveal secret plans."
"Hey! That's not fair!" Daxter shouted towards them. "You told us every bit of the juice of one of your plans when we came in your direction for a way to change me back into a human, and boy we were not amused."
"Right, you want amusement, do you?" Gol shouted. "Well get this - if you come over and help us, you'll be able to see what we plan to do in this world. It'll be great to have a fair bit of company this time."
"No damn way José!" Olga retaliated. "If you've thought of taking us, forget about it!"
Maia brought her hands out, with her fingernails pointing ahead of her. "We'll see about that as soon as you come towards our deadly trap… COME HERE!!!!"
She lured herself towards the group, where they immediately started to come up with a strategy to escape.
"Quick Dax", Jak smiled. "Go under her legs!"
And so he jumped off from Jak's shoulder and made a run under the raunchy costume surrounding Maia. She crouched down and brought her head under her legs, and saw Daxter making a run away from the cave, towards the harbor.
"That's it! Come back here you lil' runt!" Maia cursed over at him.
She regained her position… but no sooner than she headed out of the cave, a wind current started to pull her back. She tried to increase her speed, but the gale force soon cancelled it out.
"What in the world is this thing?" she asked.
She looked behind her, and to her surprise, she saw Olga, flapping her wings, bringing a gale towards her!
"Keep on going Olga!" Bubba cheered. "You can do it!"
"Yeah, this one's ours for the taking!" Yolanda exclaimed.
"Thank you very much! I like being a flut-flut!" shouted Olga with happiness. "Who needs White Eco?"
"Haven't you thought about the lurker?" Jak asked.
"'The lurker' has a name", sighed Bubba. "Besides Jak, now's the time to clear her out of here!"
"I'll try!"
Maia was pulled back closer and closer, until she was almost a couple of centimetres from the flut-flut's feet. That's where the plan soon came to practice.
"NOW!" Bubba shouted.
Olga soon switched the current the other way, and a quarter of a second from there, Jak leapt up into the air, with fists out, and he did his spin move on her. She was sent soaring out of the cave, and a few seconds later, she landed in the shark infested waters of the sea surrounding the island.
"Hehe, one down, one to go", smirked Bubba.
"So, you think you can get away that easy, can you?" said Gol's voice. "Well the same trick won't work on me! Try if you might, but you won't be able to bring me that close."
Without hesitation, Olga attempted to sweep the wind current back, therefore with hopes of bringing Gol along… but he just stood still and didn't budge! Bubba tried to attack him with his stored Red Eco energy, but not a scratch occurred on him!
"This is not looking good", blinked Yolanda.
"I know", Gol snickered. "Fun, isn't it?"
He leapt up into the air, and lured himself towards Jak. He too jumped up, with his arm bandage falling off, ready to launch a fist into his face… and that's when the action started to move slowly. Bubba started to lower himself down onto the floor, and Olga took cover behind Yolanda, who started gripping onto her hands for tension.
It was almost too crucial now for Jak and for Gol, as they were both suspended high in the air, ready to make their attack. Olga brought herself a bit further back as she started to cower in the darkness, away from the action. The group realised that one of them will be pinned down within the dying seconds, but which one it will be was yet to be determined. And then it struck - Gol thrusted himself into Jak's stomach, and pushing him into another darkened corner.
Yolanda gasped. "Oh no… Jak!"
"Hang in there, buddy!" exclaimed Bubba.
From his position, all that Jak could do was look up, with his eyes meeting his enemy's. Now one of the hands was gripped firmly onto his collar, and another fist was raised in the air.
"It would have been nice to see a funeral for you", scowled Gol, "but because of your ignorant manners, you are going down, fuzzhead!"
It looked like the end was in sight for Jak. He looked up above him, to his right, and two his left, and he saw that there was nothing here that could help him. This made him look square into Gol's eyes, whose fists were starting to glow with the power of Dark Eco inside him. But when all was lost… his head started to shake, and he started to squeal with pain.
"Get off me, you imbecile!!!" he shouted while repeatedly growling and screaming.
He raised himself away from Jak, giving him time to escape his clutches and return to the others. This suddenly made Gol rummage around into his hair, for some strange reason. Once he lowered it down slightly, the group were soon surprised. This came by the sight of Daxter, on the very pinnacle of his head, holding with a tight clutch onto his rather
long ears!
"Daxter, what are you doing here?" Jak asked. "I thought you ran out of the cave-"
"I know, but I'll explain later. No time for chit-chat - we need to get outta this dump!"
No sooner than he said that, Jak and Olga made their escape from the cave. Bubba made a sprint away next, and Yolanda went towards a switch at the back of the room. She flipped it, and immediately ran out. The four soon made a clear exit about fifty yards from the cave, and they soon turned back, facing it.
"Are you sure that Daxter will escape from the cave alive?" Jak asked.
"Do not panic Jak!" Olga said while flapping her wings. "He'd use his own way of cunning, to deal with his foes."
Within no time at all, a few rocks started to fall from the cave's ceiling and crashed down onto the surface. They continued to stack up high, giving off foggy debris around it. All the group could do was watch the demolition. And it soon stopped, with a whole cloud of rock blocking the cave. No sooner than that occurred, Jak looked down at the floor, with a more depressed look on his face.
"OK sage girl", sulked Bubba, bringing his attention to Yolanda. "What did you do to make him upset?"
"What, all I did was trap Gol."
"Yeah, but you had to trap the ottsel as well, didn't you?"
"Uh, whoops."
"Whoops is NOT right, you should be ashamed of yourself!"
This made Yolanda sigh, crouch down, and look out towards the cave, until…
"The ottsel has a name!" said a voice from ahead.
"What has happened here? That voice sounds familiar…" Olga gasped. "Daxter is alive!"
Within the fog, a figure came speeding onto the path, towards the group. Upon seeing it, the foursome started to smile back at it. The figure emerged from the fog, and it turned out to be Daxter!
"Hi guys!!!!" he shouted while jumping into the air.
No sooner than he screamed out, he landed back onto Jak's shoulder and gave him the rubbing on the ear.
"Wow, I can't believe you survived the devastation!" Yolanda smiled.
"Me neither, but thank green eco for trap doors", the ottsel snickered to himself.
The girls started to giggle in with each other.
"Has Gol gone in the blast too?" Jak asked.
"To be honest, that's a question that won't be answered in a while", shrugged Daxter. "The last time I saw him he was trying to find a way out, and I'm not sure if he's dead or alive."
"Don't panic Daxter, at least that's one mad moron, clear from this very path."
But soon after that was heard, there was a scream.
Jak gave out a gasp. "KEIRA!!!!!"
"Is this the girlfriend you told us about?" Yolanda asked.
"Yes, she's one of the villagers captured! We must be close to ending one of the tasks here!"
"We have to be quick before she gets caught!" Bubba jumped up and down, before calming down. "Well, that's a possibility."
The two quickly rushed in the direction of Keira's scream. Who knows what they may find as soon as they find her… but even facing away from there, what may have happened to Gol and Maia? Are they still alive? Or are they far away from the world at this minute?
-end of part 2-
