A/N: Sorry the last chapter was so short. Its because I was tired and just getting started.

Without Jak

Chapter 2: Daxters Troubled

"Well, who are ya'?" Daxter asked impatiently.

"Nevermind who I am. I'm here to warn you." The voice answered.

"Warn me of what?" Daxter asked.

At this moment the mysterious person appeared. He was in a black cloak woth long, brown boots.

"I'm here to warn about how dangerous your machine is." The man answered.

"You may lose a friend or family member very close to you." He continued.

Daxter sat back, paralized with fear.

"Jak? Keira? My Mom?" He thought.

"You must go back. Back to being with Jak and your friends as an ottsel."

Daxter had regained his bravery.

"Now you listen to me buddy!" He yelled.

"I aint goin back to bein a fuzzy rat!"

"Whatever. Just dont come cryin to me when you're lost." The man said.

"I wonder where Jak is." Daxter thought to himself as he sat on the beach.

Daxter got up to look for Jak.

"Jak! Jak! Where are ya buddy?"

"I'm back to normal!"

He saw a translucent Jak in front of him. Daxter reached out to grab his buddy's arm but Jak simply vanished!

"Jak?"

When Daxter sat by the sea, he saw Jak's face in the ocean but when he turned around to talk to Jak, nobody was there.

"What good is being human if you cant find your human friends." Daxter said to himself and let a teardrop fall to the ground.

The mysterious man came out from behind a rock. Daxter saw the man's reflection in the water and said, "What? Did you come to tell me that I learned my lesson?"

"No. I actually came to tell you that your laundry is dry and your undies are nice and clean!" The man answered.

"Very funny." Daxter said.

"I wasnt joking."

"Whatever. I'm goin' to bed." Daxter said.

THE NEXT DAY BACK AT JAK'S PLACE

"I wonder why Daxter aint home yet." Samos said.

"Me too. I guess maybe we shouldn't have laughed at him." Jak answered.

"He wouldn't just leave us though." Samos said but even he wasn't so sure if what he was saying was truthful or not.

DAXTER (SAME DAY)

"I'm gonna go up to Samos's hut and see if they're up there." Daxter thought to himself.

When he was up at the hut, Daxter looked in every room but nobody was there. When he went to look in his house, nobody but his mom was in there and she was sleeping. He went out to Misty Island and looked into the dark eco. "Damn that eco. Damn it straight to Hell!" Daxter screamed. A couple of frogs croaked at him but he just ignored them.

"Lifes a bitch!" Daxter said to himself. He pulled out a 9mm and considered shooting himself but reminded himself that hes been in worse situatons. He remembered the vat of eco and how he solved that problem with the time machine and he knew he'd get out of this one too.
