Cynder and Spyro look to their right where the engine was coming from. They then see a car fly up from the dunes, and land a few yards away from them. Then it starts driving at them.
"Uh, Spyro, I think we should get out of here!" says Cynder. Spyro nods and they both fly out of the way, then to the nearest mountain.
"Definitely inhabited!" says Spyro, catching his breath.
"Ya think?!" laughs Cynder, even though she doesn't know why she's laughing.
"We better find Dark and Sparx." he says.
"Hey lets follow that thing and see where it leads us." says Cynder, looking at a blue flying transport. Spyro nods, and flies with Cynder. The blue transport leads them to a desert city. They fly around, and land on a tall mountain in water overlooking the city.
"DARK?!" yells Spyro. But no response. But he did yell it so loud that he attracted the attention of most of the city.
"Spyro, I don't think that was a good idea!" yells Cynder, as a bullet whizzes past her ear. They fly off, and see the blue transport is flying off again. So, they follow it. With no where else to go, it seems like the better choice than getting lost in a desert.

Jak's communicator rings. He picks it up and sees that it is Torn.
"Yea Torn?" asks Jak.
"We need you in the city." he says.
"Metalhead problem?" ask Jak
"We're not sure. That's why I need my best man on the job. Come to the Naughty Ottsel ASAP." says Torn, then he hangs up. Jak sighs, then puts the communicator back in his pocket.
"I can't believe he is still using my restaurant for a base of operations! He needs to get his own place for all those gadgets!" complains Daxter. They walk out of the city and get in the blue transport. Daxter thinks he sees something purple, so he looks out the rear window. He doesn't see anything, so he shrugs and sits back down, thinking it was his imagination.

Spyro and Cinder follow the transport to an even bigger city. They follow Jak from a distance, and land atop the Naughty Ottsel.
"Great, now what?" asks Cinder.
"Over here, there is a vent. We can eavesdrop on them. They might lead us to Dark and Sparx." replies Spyro.

Jak walks into the Naughty Ottsel and to the desk, where Torn and an injured freedom league guard, are standing.
"OK, so, what is the mission." asks Jak.
"Tell him what happened." says Torn to the guard.
"Two hours ago, Torn had sent me to do some recon around Haven Forest. I then was attacked by a large Metalhead. It's armor was to strong for my gun. It was about to eat me when I saw a black and purple winged animal on my right. I'm not sure if it was a Metalhead or not. But I was desperate for help, so I said "help." I didn't actually think it would help me, but it became enraged at the Metalhead. I'm positive it can understand English. Anyway, it killed the Metalhead in less than two minutes. Here, I took a video of it attacking the Metalhead." says the guard. He hands Jak the camera. The video shows the whole fight. Then it turns off when Dark looks at the camera.
"What happened after?" asks Jak.
"I ran. Anyone would be scared after watching that fight. Especially after it ripped the gem out with it's bare paw." says the guard.
"Did it try to follow you in any way?" asks Jak.
"No. I looked back, and it was just watching me as I ran." he replies
"Well, it might be human friendly. Bring the Peacemaker just in case." says Torn.
