Chapter Four
The vehicle was very fast, so fast that Jak was having a hard time controlling it. Jak never drove a vehicle that was going this fast. He saw something in the tube ahead of him. Jak thought "Oh no". It was a pipe holding the tube together. He could see many more pipes than that, and they were all in different positions. He also saw that some of the tubes were not completed. Pieces of metal were missing, if he didn't see them in time the vehicle would fall through and they would die. Jak was piloting the vehicle the best that he could, weaving in and out of the pipes and avoiding the various missing sections in the tube.
Jak could see the light at the end of the tube but there was one problem, it was a force field. At the speed he was he could not stop in time. He had to find a way to disable it or they would die. Daxter had been sitting quietly when all of the sudden he yelled "JAK!!!!" Jak knew they were going to die in about three seconds unless he did something. He started to press as many buttons as he could. All of the sudden a missile came out of the vehicle and hit the force field generator. The force field came down right in time, half a second more and they would have been dead.
They entered a large room. At first it was pitch black. Slowly many lights turned on. The vehicle was now on auto pilot and Jak didn't know why. Frankly he didn't like not being in control but there was nothing he could do. They watched in amazement as they went through the now lit up room. It was huge and filled with Precursor technology. Jak saw what they were heading towards. It was a large statue, an oracle. This one seemed different then the others he had seen before. He didn't know why but this one seemed special. The craft piloted to the small landing pad in front of it, and landed. Jak and Daxter got out of it. The oracle statue eyes opened and began to speak. "Great warrior, you have come a long way. I hope it is not too late to save your world." The Precursor seemed to appear out of no where and started speaking.
"The time has come, The Dark Maker ship is getting closer. I fear there is not enough time left for your world. Do you have to eco crystals?" Jak put the eco crystals in a precursor machine as the Precursor instructed. Jak then said "Why are these so important?" "These crystals can be used to power up the planetary defense" the Precursor said. Jak watched and saw that the light eco and dark eco crystals were separated. They went into two different cannons and began to give off an immense light. From the cannon where the dark eco crystals were charging it gave off a dark light. Where the cannon with the light eco crystals was a blinding while light. "It will take a few minutes for them to power up."
"Hold it right there!" said Count Veger as he walked over to Jak and the Precursor with a gun in his hand. "It is great you got this far Jak, but let a professional take care of this. Take your rat and leave before I pull this trigger." "How did you find us Count Vulgar?" "It's VEGER!" Daxter rolled his eyes and said "Yeah, whatever". "I followed you from Onin's tent. I must say, Jak, you sure know how to take care of Metal Heads… You certainly are a professional killer… I just hope you won't find someone you love in trouble because of your sins…" Jak looked up at Veger and said "Keira! What have you done to her!?"
Veger smiled and said "Nothing… yet…" Jak could feel the Dark eco surging through his veins now. "If you do anything to her…" Veger walked closer to him and said "You'll do what?" Daxter interrupted and said "Jak gets mean and nasty when you piss him off… So don't piss him off." Veger smiled again and said "What, will eco freak kill me?" Jak walked over to him and pushed his gun out of his face, and grabbed Veger by the collar. "I'll kill you if you ever call me eco freak again." "The Dark Eco Experiments… Baron Praxis did to you won't protect you forever, oh by way I have something to show you." said Veger. Jak looked puzzled and said "You have nothing that would interest me."
