--- Get Your Freak On --- ch 14---
Clue stared at his bare feet propped up on the gun controls as they bounced through the desert night. No shoes, no shirt, no gun. He groaned, the indignity, he had been thrown out of his own house in basically his pajamas.
He pulled the snaps on his gloves and freed his hands from their prison. The dark shadows of the night concealed his hands well as the gloves had and hid them from view. He cracked his knuckles audible. He really couldn't wait to kill something.
The dune buggy rumbled between two dunes towards a large and tall rock formation. Clue heard it before he saw it.
Suddenly a massive dinosaur like metal clad beast roared past the hood of the car. Jak eyes went wide and hit the breaks.
"HOLLLLY SHIIIIIT" Daxter screamed from his strangle hold on Jak's head. The beast nearly trampled them as they slide to a stop.
The beast raged past them, kicking up sand in its wake. Jak threw Daxter off his head, "that's not what I think it was…" he asked the headset. In his usual manner, Clue did not respond.
Jak felt the vehicle shudder as the first shots came from above.
Clue followed the over sized metal head with his gun barrels, a maniac's look glinted in his eyes as Jak hit the gas and raced after it.
"How fast are these things!?" Daxter asked as the metal head beast easily out ran the dune buggy. It stopped turned on a dime and faced them. It charged.
Jak hit the brake, ready to floor it in reverse. Clue hadn't stopped firing.
"Charge it," Clue said lowly in an eerie way in Jak's ear.
Jak grinned wickedly and floored it toward the oncoming tyrannosaurus like monster.
Shots echoed across the desert as the turret shot as fast as it could as it counter charged. The beast never slowed or fault while blazing yellow shots seared its flesh. It charged like berserker juggernaut, caring its cargo and destroying its opposition with single-minded determination.
The metal head's legs unexpectedly crumpled under itself and slammed to the ground with an explosion of sand.
Jak slammed on the break and slid to a stop inches away from the monstrous cadaver.
Daxter took a few deep breaths. Jak glared determinedly at the dead thing before him. He opened the door and leaped from the vehicle, Dax leapt acrobatically on to his shoulder.
"Metal head commander do you copy, Metal head…" Jak heard a low rasping voice shouting, off to the side of the monstrous creature a small COM sparked and the image flicked in and out. A robotic abomination of a head swiveled and bounced in Place.
Jak stared down at it scowling, "YOU!!" the face shouted hatefully. Suddenly the creature's tail swung to life and lashed out in front of him smashing the COM into the sand.
Jak fell back, scrambled back to his feet, and raced toward the vehicle.
"COME ON!" Clue shouted from his standing position on the top of the turret. The creature struggled to its feet and shook its head in a dog like manner. Dark blood oozed slowly from its wound-pocked body.
Jak leapt into the still running dune buggy and threw it in reverse as fast as the wheels would take him.
"Oh shit," Jak heard though static. The metal head charged again at the fleeing vehicle. Its heavy feet carried it ominously across the sand towards them.
Clue, seeing the inevitable and being on the out side of the dune buggy feared for the worst. He fumbled with the harness straps on the gunner's seat.
Jak grimaced as the metal head gained on them; its glimmering gold skull gem seemed to fill the whole windshield.
'Click' Clue's harness snapped together just in time as the monstrosity lunged at them.
For the second time in a twenty-four hour period, both men found themselves tumbling through the sky in an air born tin can of doom.
Daxter screamed at the top of his lungs, the sounds of profuse swearing could be heard coming over both ends of the headsets.
The sudden impact racked his body but spared him a head wound. He hit the break and felt the large vehicle slid across rock on two wheels. The vehicle stopped and for a few hesitant moments they just sat there.
Jak switched a large switch marked 'lights' and two massive floodlights flipped on. He peered through the windshield at the illuminated rock face before him.
"Jak…" Daxter asked slowly from his position on the dash, "were did the ground go?"
And behold as Jak leaned fore ward and took a closer look, the ground did indeed disappear. He stared in disbelief as a metal head beast ran by them a good thirty feet below them.
"Clue…" he asked into the com. He didn't answer, but as the metal head juggernaut entered the light a long burst of fire sounded and the thing went down for good with a loud howl.
"Turn on the other lights," Clue growled over the headset. Jak took a moment, and switched them all on, revealing the small rock formation they sat upon.
A groan transferred thru the com. Jak wondered how the hell they where getting down. Jak heard the cannon above him swivel.
""Die MOTHER FFFF…" another burst of fire sounded as another metal head charged into the light. By time the thing had made it to the rock pillar itself, it was dead.
Jak leaned back in the pilots seat as Clue picked off the beast from they're elevated position.
" Jak? Jaaaaaak?" Clue's voice asked in a slow and annoyed way.
"Whaa!" Jak jumped surprised, "What?" he asked composing himself.
"Way to go Jak, sleeping on the job, your coming up in the world," the otsel said arrogantly.
Jak glared, he hadn't even realized he had nodded off. He glanced out the window at the metal head carcasses below them on the sand; the sun looked like it was about ready to peek over the dunes.
" You still with me?" Clue asked sarcastically.
"Yeah…." He said still glaring at the otsel for letting him fall asleep, he still couldn't believe he had fallen asleep with artillery fire going and all.
'Whack!" Jak got the great honor of jumping again. As a glove hand smacked onto the side window, " then get your ass out here…" Clue half yelled from outside the driver's door.
Jak grumbled and joined him by the edge of the rock pillar they where parked on. Jak stared down the good thirty feet that separated him from the sand below.
"How did you manage, that." Clue asked in an almost accusing way.
"Lets reflect…" Daxter said slowly, " he was driving…" he pointed at Jak in an exasperated way.
"Hey wait?" Jak said sounding a little over defensive.
"Well, come on," Clue said as he lowered himself over the edge in one swift movement, "you want to get going before the sun rises?" he disappeared over the edge.
"What about your car!" Daxter yelled after him.
"Unless you want to drive of the edge, the sand storms can knock it down. Now are you two coming or not." He continued his descent.

Jak and clue stood on the top of a near by dune and stared back their handy work. The small blue dune buggy glinted in the early morning sun. It sat on its rock pedestal and looked very much like some goliath mounted trophy.
"Dude, that's your car," Jak said.
"…You where driving," clue said with a hint of bitterness. Jak grumbled and they trudged off toward Spargus.
