Alright this chapter took me a while and it's the longest chapter so far! Hopfully not going to the longest it'll ever get. So I've started collage, post will now be a bit slower but I promise I'll keep working. Feed back always help motivate me!

Chapter 3

Turning on his heels, Jak threw a punch, sending the snake onto the ground and away from Daxter. Hissing the snake coiled for an attack.

"Jak watch out!" Daxter warned as the huge snake launched itself towards his best friend. Jak spun, kicking it straight off the side of the drop off. Slamming into the ground bellow the snake fell still.

"Where did you learn to fight like that?" he asked staring at Jak. Jak shrugged slightly turning back to berry hunting.

"You know ya could use those skills to impress Keira." Jak froze, his cheek turning bright red. Daxter noticed smirking slightly before something caught his eye.

"Hey look! We found them!" he pointed towards a huge bush covered in purple berries. Forgetting about Keira they both ran towards the bush.

"Jak you know you probably should go talk to her." Daxter said in between handfuls. Jak looked at him and frowned. "OK maybe not talk, but not sit there like a frozen status, like an idiot." He pointed out. Jak looked at him and shook his head.

"It won't kill you. Not if ya can fight like that." Daxter continued talking, but Jak wasn't listening any more.

That hair I've seen those colors before…but where? Jak wondered to himself tuning Daxter completely out. Was it in a dream? He questioned to himself. Neither one heard the sound of a nearby twig snap.

"Hey guys." They both froze and turned. Standing a few feet away was Keira. She'd changed out of the dress into a pair of short, black pants, and a purple tank top.

"What are you doing here?" Daxter demanded, dropping the berries from his hand.

"Nothing I just followed you two up here." She replied smiling. Jak froze again, unable to move. Looking at him Daxter shook his shoulder.

"Buddy snap out of it!" Daxter exclaimed.

"Jak?" A distant voice called from the village snapping Jak out of his trance. "Jak!" they called again sounding a bit impatient.

"Sounds like Samos or maybe your uncle, Jak" Daxter snorted.

"Shouldn't you go figure out who?" Keira asked softly. Jak nodded slight, grabbing Daxter's arm darted back through the jungle to the bridge without thinking.

"So you're going to leave a lady out in the forbidden jungle all alone?" Daxter questioned when Jak finally came to a stop. Jak looked at him then back towards the jungle, as Keira stepped out from behind a tree.

"I'm capable of following you guys out of the jungle." Keira stated. Daxter turned around looking at her. Jak Grabbed Daxter arms and jerked his head in the direction of the village.

"Aright fine we're going."Daxter muttered, letting Jak drag him back towards the village. Keira followed remaining a few steps behind.

Entering the village Jak's uncle stood outside his hut waiting for them. He did not look partially happy.

"Ah Jak!" He greeted he's eye momentarily darting towards Daxter. "It appears several of my Precursor orbs are missing."

"Hey don't look at me!" Daxter exclaimed. "I didn't take 'em face it old man you just lost them." He smirked. Jak shook his head whacking Daxter in the back of the head. Daxter glanced back at his friend, rubbing the now tender spot. "Besides I've been with Jak all day…up in…the forbidden… Jungle." Realizing what he said Daxter instantly bit his tongue.

"You were where?" Samos demanded as he approached the two boys.

"Uh…the Forbidden Jungle." Dater slowly replied backing up behind Jak. Samos frowned slamming his staff on the ground.

"There's a reason it's called the forbidden Jungle boy." Samos growled.

"Ya well Jak can't take anything on!" Daxter replied. "He took down a twenty foot snake in one blow!" the older men looked at him.

"Really now?" Samos asked.

"Ya! Tell 'em Jak." Daxter said turning to his friend. Jak smiled shrugging his shoulders.

"Well now do you boys want a chance to prove your skills?" Samos asked placing a hand on his hip. Jak nodded slowly, unsure if they were in trouble yet. Samos turned and motioned them to follow. Glancing at each other the boys slowly followed.

"If you two are going to be reckless you should learn to fight." Samos stated walking towards the swirling portal on the send floor of his home. "On the other side of this is Geyser Rock, where a training field has been set up. We'll see how well you can fight." Samos continued.

"Er…Jak I'm not so sure about this. " Daxter muttered. "I don't trust old Green face."

"I heard that!" Samos yelled whacking Daxter in the back of the head with his staff; hit the same spot Jak had hit not long before.

"Ow! What is this beat on Daxter day?" he exclaimed. Jak rolled his eyes and jumped through the portal. "Don't leave me here with him!" Daxter exclaimed jumping after him.

"Something you're not telling me about the boy?" Jak's uncle asked standing in the door way of the hut. Samos turned to face him.

"Perhaps I have been keeping information to myself." Samos replied turning back towards the portal. "He is a decent of Mar."

"Then he's an eco channeler" Jak's Uncle replied.

"One day he maybe, but I fear he will never reach his full potential as those before him. " Samos continued.

Jak made his way through the course that lay before him, maneuvering out the steps, around the spikes, and breaking down wooden figures that stood in his way. Daxter moved slowly behind him taking alternate routes around the spike pits.

"Jak slow down!" He whined. Jak paused looking back at his friend waiting. Daxter slowly caught up panting hard. The sight of something glowing caught his eye.

"Jak what's that?" he pointed to a glowing orb or a blue substance. Jak glanced at him before moving forward. "Isn't that blue Eco?" Jak shrugged slightly reaching out to touch it. The eco jumped drawing itself towards Jak's hand. A rush of power flowed through his veins. Jak let out a silently cry of shock.

"Jak!" Daxter exclaimed as his best friend body began to glow a faint blue color. Straightening Jak smiled. He had the erg to run to take off sprinting in any direction. Turing he ran back the way they'd come.

"Jak!" Daxter exclaimed trying to keep up with his friend failing after a few moments. Reaching the beach, the power suddenly faded. Jak collapsed on the ground panting hard, as a smile played across his lips.

That was…fun! He exclaimed in his mind laughing softly. Daxter ran towards Jak standing over him, confused in why his friend was laughing.

"Jak?" Daxter called. Opening his eyes, Jak pushed himself up right smiling at his friend. "Come one let's go home." Daxter said moving towards the portal. Rising to his feet Jak followed his friend jumping though.

Samos stood on the other side waiting, Jak's uncle was long gone, but Keira was now there.

"So how'd it go?" Samos asked as Daxter fell on the floor. He didn't get a chance to reply when Jak landed on top of him. Keira giggled softly.

"Ah get off me!" Daxter exclaimed as Jak rolled off him. Dusting himself off Daxter looked at Samos. "We found some Blue eco!" Daxter exclaimed. "I think Jak's a channeler!" He continued.

"A channeler you say?" Samos questioned looking at Jak. "I'll just have to test that."
