I walked behind the group of crimson guards that had earlier confronted me. If I was right, then they can possibly lead me to the main person I always wanted to meet. Maybe then, they can help me get out of here. Unfortunately, I got so caught up with my surroundings that I lost track of Errol and his men. Only I can manage to lose a bunch of men with big guns. I sighed mentally slapping myself. I stopped walking for a moment to think. 'There headed towards where Jak will land at, where was that again?' I sighed in frustration. This is becoming such a pain in the rear. I looked up to the buildings around me. The walls were made of metal; the place mostly contained factories and possibly apartment buildings. The buildings and lights reflected a red and grey color. The sewer's entrance should be around here too. A large upper walk way like a second story sidewalk was held above me. The power station was just up there too. "That's right! I'm in the industrial section," I snapped my fingers in happy realization.

If I'm in the industrial section, then that must mean that Jak is too. "Wait, isn't the scene where Jak gets captured on the walkway?" Just as I asked my question I was quickly answered when a blur of orange ran past my legs, making me scream for the second time. "Don't worry jak, ill save you before you know it!" the orange blur turned out to be another character from the game, and jak's best friend "Daxter?" the orange animal hide behind a hole in the wall. I turned back and watched as the Krimson guards carried away a green/blonde boy no later than 15. He was knocked out cold. They must have hit him with the gun. I contemplated whether or not I should stop them. I don't have the strength or the skill to beat them down. They would probably beat me down and throw me in jail, and if I did, wouldn't that change the fate of the game? I really hate science right about now.

I watched them leave the area. I had no choice. I've never felt so bad in my life bad as I did now. I was helpless. Maybe not completely helpless…DAXTER! I ran over to the hole that the orange ottsel hid. I crouched down to its level. I tried peeking in but the hole was dark on the inside. It was big enough for a hand to fit in though. I rolled up my wet sleeve up to my elbow and reached in. I tried feeling for something soft and furry and so far nothing. I reached in a little further and I felt a sharp pain on my hand, "Ow!" I pulled my hand back and held it close to my chest trying to sooth away the pain. He freaking bit me! I growled "that'll teach you to mess with me!" I heard him yell out from the hole. I growled, "That's it! Come here you little rat!" I reached in again and I got a hold of something. I quickly pulled it out. It turned out I grabbed the ottsel by his leg. He was kicking and trying to loosen my grip "Jak! Help! She's going to eat me!" he screamed out loudly. I winced; he had a high pitched voice. "Geez, will you calm down? I'm not going to eat you" I looked around to see if anyone was looking our way but thankfully no one did. Daxter kept kicking. I sighed. I put him down on the ground. This was getting annoying.

He dusted his fur off and glared up at me, "hey! What's the big idea?" "Well, the idea was trying to help you get your friend back and finding my way home" I deadpanned. He stood there with his mouth open but no words came out, so I continued, "I saw what happened, what those guys did was beyond wrong, and I can't even imagine what they will do next," of course that was a lie. I knew exactly what they would do. He put his hands up stopping me "wait so let me guest this straight, you, want to help me? Why?" he looked up at me suspiciously. I don't blame him for his suspicions. A girl, soaking wet, coming out from the middle of nowhere, is offering a talking animal help to get his best friend back. Yup, pretty nutty stuff. "Look, do you want the help or not?" he pondered this over for a moment, putting his hand up to his chin in thought. I looked over his features. He had long ears kind of like a bunny but they stood straight up one of them slightly folded. He had a pair of brown goggles on, the only thing aside from his gloves that he was able to keep after he was pushed into a pool of dark eco.

Yup this little guy used to be human before his accident occurred in Misty island. His incident is the result of karma. As an act of rebellion he and Jak headed to the one place their mentor, Samos, told them not to go to. Upon arriving, they found themselves near a basin of eco deadly and dangerous to many and very unpredictable to its victims. A lurker, (a creature from the first game) had snuck up behind them and as an act of bravery; Jak threw a precursor bomb at it. But the bomb blew back the blond boy bumping into his flame headed friend and sending him into the eco. Fortunately Daxter came back out alive, but as an animal instead, thus their adventure began in trying to return him to normal. Moral of the story: always listen to your elders! I giggled silently. He was cute with his mousy face and slender body he was no taller than maybe 2 ½ ft. Just about as tall as my knee, maybe. His bright orange fur stuck out like a sore thumb just about anywhere, and his loud mouth.

He finally made his decision, "alright, I'm in toots, the name's Daxter" he held out his hand, "I know, Audrey" I shook his small hand. He gave me a questioning look. Crap, I slipped up., "uh, I mean-"he held his hand up to stop me and shook his head" I don't wanna know, I'm having one hell of a day as it is anyway" I nodded. I need to be more careful. I'm already interfering in the game enough as it is, "So where to, toots?"

"Well, actually I was hoping you would tell me, I'm kinda new around here," so to speak.

"Great" he said sarcastically, rolling his large eyes, "I got nothing." I stood back up. I saw a help wanted sign, an exterminating job. "We could start there?" I pointed. "It's a start, lead the way hot stuff." He climbed up my leg and onto my shoulder, "why are you all wet?" he shook water out of his hand. It was my turn to roll my eyes, "ugh don't ask."

And thus began a new journey of a girl and her new friend.
