Geyser Rock, due to the training I'd been engaging in with Samos and on Sentinal Beach, was super easy for us to explore. And we'd also found all the orbs and all the Power Cells in the process, there being a grand total of 50 for the former and 4 for the latter. And after doing this, we then went back through the warp gate as soon as lunch hit, where I grabbed some salad that was readily available from Samos's fridge after finishing.
"Good training, kids. But that's nothing compared to the trials ahead in the future," Samos said to us, having now calmed down.
"No problem, we can handle it. I've actually been secretly training on Sentinel Beach for the past year now," I smiled at him, getting a twitch in his eye.
"Fine! Adventure away then. And while you three are out 'adventuring', why don't you make yourselves useful? My Green Eco collection devices seem to have been clogged up again. Go to the beach and unclog them. Follow the lamps, they'll take you right there. Now... all of you... GET OUT OF HERE!" he shouted loudly, me covering my ears before then getting out of the place along with the others, which we then met up with Keira downstairs and she smiled at us as Jak then smirked and signed to her.
"Hey, Keira? How's things going, hon?" he asked her, which Keira looked at him with a smile.
"Going good, honestly. By the way, I noticed you gazing at me earlier, Jak," she said with a flirty sass, which he blushed at. "Look, if you need something to do, there's these differnet areas around that have eco vents, but some of the vents seem to be closed shut. My dad says that there should be some correlation to the ruins found in the nearby jungle. Maybe you should poke around out there for some kind of switch," Keira said, me looking at Jak and Dax with a smirk.
"Let's go check with the villagers, see if they have anything for us to do. And after that, we can go to the jungle," I smiled.
"And risk Samos getting more ticked?" Jak signed to me.
"I'm willing to risk it," I smiled at him as we then went around town to speak to the different villagers, including Jak's supposed uncle. He was actually more like a godfather, who used to help raise Jak when he was a younger kid, according to what Keira explained to me. And after speaking to all of them, we found that the Uncle wanted orbs, the Sculptor was missing his Muse at Misty Island, the mayor needed orbs for a reelection and the village power to be back on, the bird lady wished for us to save a baby Flutt-Flutt from its nest, and I helped the Farmer get his lazy Yakow back into their pen, which he gave us Power Cell number 5 in the process. And after all of this, we then proceeded to the Forbidden Jungle, where we saw that the fauna and flora were hoping to kill us right away.
I had to slap some snakes in the face, using the powers of red eco to make my punches strong enough to do so. And for those wondering where I got Red Eco from, they seemed to be shared among the numerous different crates around the place. Each crate had a different type of Eco within it, and the most plentiful was blue Eco. And I'd found out from personal use that Blue Eco was super useful, since it could make you faster, coated you in a barrier of electricity, and it could even allow you to run on water like a ninja!
After getting tons of orbs and Power Cells so far, Jak and I decided to split up, with me going to the interior of the Precursor Temple while he and Daxter went to talk to the fisherman as well as do the mayor's task. And I was all for it, since the plant boss was a chump. And after gaining Blue Eco to open the way to the insides and gaining all the orbs I could, I got the Power Cell at the top and proceeded down the elevator. And after doing so, I felt... a lot of energy all around me. Almost as if this whole place were filled with ancient thoughts...
I proceeded through the first room of floating platforms and different holes in the floor before, eventually, finding the Blue Eco generator, which was connected to the ground and was currently turned off. And the way to turn it on? Simply remove the Power Cell at the top that was sealing up the entire thing. And when I touched the Power Cell... I heard a voice in my head!
"Blue Eco is not just an element of movement... it is also the strength of electricity and water at the same time. Use it wisely, Sage of the Seven," the voice said, me recognizing it as the voice of the Precursor that was in my dreams, specifically the one who was an aspect of Blue Eco, me now hearing it as being a female voice.
"Could I get your name, per chance? And the others' too?" I asked.
"We are in a time long forgotten by most... but if you wish to know, I am known as Oceannette. Pronounced as O-Shun-ette. Okay?" she said, me smirking at that.
"Okay, and what was that about me being the Sage of the Seven? I thought there were only 6 types of Eco?" I asked, which she smiled at.
"The seventh form of Eco will be revealed to you in due time, but only once you require Sagehood in all the other Eco types first... you will now be able to use Blue Eco without the need to collect it, as it exists even in the air and in the water you drink. But to gain sagehood, you must speak to the Oracle," she said, me nodding at that.
"Does it matter which Oracle it is?" I asked her as I then proceeded to venture away from the generator.
"It does not, but don't share this information with Jak or Daxter. Keep it secret as long as possible," she said, me nodding as I then exited the room and proceeded towards the room that led to the giant plant, gaining the rest of the orbs along the way. And once I saw the Dark Eco plant, I saw... it looked quite ugly when in person. It then roared upon seeing me and tried to snap its mouth at me, but I shocked it with Blue Eco before it could get to close, it being zapped slightly as it then revealed its weak point, me jumping up and using said Blue Eco to punch my super-fast fists into the plant's lower jaw, me managing to land 10 zippy strikes in the same spot, which was actually enough to snap the stem slightly! And that was enough for the plant to quiver before slamming onto the ground with a gurgle of death! And a Power Cell and 5 Precursor Orbs escaped its mouth shortly after, me grabbing it and proceeding to do my own corny dance for the collection of the mcguffin.
I proceeded to grab it with my arm, kick it like a hacky sack and then catch it into my open bag, me then giving a fist pump into the air afterwards. "You weren't lying, that was corny, but still impressive," the voice of Oceannette said to me, which I frowned at her.
"Oi! Don't spy on me, Oceannette," I frowned at her out loud as I then grabbed more blue eco and used it to jump out of the ruins and out of the top, just in time to see Jak and Daxter finish up with their jobs, which I then got a message from the Precursor of Light.
"You have collected every Power Cell and Precursor Orb in the Forbidden Jungle. Good job," he said, me smirking at that. I then joined back up with the dynamic duo and daxter immediately hopped on my shoulder.
"You look all jittery all of a sudden. What were you up to without us?" Daxter asked.
"Oh, you know, opening a generator for Blue Eco, defeating a giant plant tainted with Dark Eco, got a high from using the blue stuff, nothin' too bad, hehe," I smirked after, only then realizing that the Blue Eco managed to make me excited after using it so much.
"Calm down, Dory, let's go back to town. We got the keys to go to Misty Island as well as fixed the power for the Mayor. So how many orbs do we have?" Jak asked as I counted the tally and saw that we had a grand total of 200 orbs, enough to pay off the townies, but not for the Oracle. I then decided to split away from Jak after handing him the orbs I collected and gave him Daxter.
"You're going to Misty Island alone?" Jak asked.
"No, I'm not. I'm going to come pick Dax up after I go to that thing up there," I said as I pointed to the oracle that had two Power Cells in its eyes.
"Oh, I see. You saw that Oracle has Power Cells, and that means you're going to find a way to get them!" Daxter smiled at me.
"Exactly," I lied. It was a part of it, sure, but I was also going there to get Sagehood for Blue Eco. I then split up and went to the Oracle, me going there and poking the thing's large nose, it then speaking in the echoey voice.
"WHO HAS AWAKENED THE ORACLE!... WAIT... WITHIN YOU, I SEE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN TOUCHED BY THE LIGHT... LONG HAVE I AWAITED THE ONE FORTOLD BY THE PROPHECY. YOU MUST WISH TO GAIN THE POWER CELLS I CONTAIN, AS WELL AS ASCENSION TO SAGEHOOD FOR BLUE ECO," it stated, me nodding at it.
"Yes, I am. Can I ask if you have a normal voice and not an echoed one? It hurts my head," I frowned.
"UNFORTUNATELY, I EXIST ONLY AS A SPIRIT OF AN AGE LONG FORGOTTEN, CREATED BY THE PRECURSORS AS A GUARDIAN OF PEACE AND ORDER. BUT WHEN THEY VANISHED, I WAS PLACED IN STASIS, ONLY TO AWAKEN WHEN NEXT TO ONE TOUCHED BY THE LIGHT... IF YOU WISH TO GAIN THE PRIZES OF THE ORBS AND SAGEHOOD, GIVE ME 120 PRECURSOR ORBS FOR EACH POWER CELL, AND FOR SAGEHOOD, PROVE YOU ARE THE CHOSEN BY ANSWERING A RIDDLE," he said, me nodding at that, even though the riddle part sounded bogus.
"Okay, give me the riddle," I smiled.
"EVERY MAN, WOMAN, AND BEAST HAS DRUNKEN FROM ME. BUT I HAVE NO CASKET, NO BOTTLE, NOR A CAN TO POUR FROM ME. WHAT AM I?" the Oracle asked, me then thinking on it, because it made me wonder... but then, I touched my chest and gawked.
"A mother's breast. It has milk that all mammals have drunk from!" I smiled at him.
"VERY INTELLIGENT. PROOF THAT YOU ARE WORTHY OF SAGEHOOD. BEHOLD, THE POWER OF BLUE ECO," the oracle spoke, me then gawking as a beam of blue energy emerged from his mouth, me gasping at how I felt... some kind of gate unlock in my brain. And I felt the strength of motion, ocean, and zappity zap electricity go through my body! But atop of all of that... knowledge! And after this, I landed on my ass and shook my head after.
"Oogh... that beam had a kick to it! So what do I do with Blue Eco Sagehood, then?" I asked him.
"YOU WILL NOW BE ABLE TO SUMMON THE POWERS OF OCEAN, MOTION, AND ELECTRICITY FROM ANYWHERE YOU CHOOSE. SO LONG AS YOU HAVE ACCESS TO EITHER BLUE ECO OR WATER, EVEN IF IT WERE IN THE AIR, YOU CAN USE IT WITHOUT ISSUE OR TIREDNESS." And that made my grin wide, as well as my heart race. "BUT BEWARE OF ONE THING. TOO MUCH USAGE OF ANY TYPE OF ECO AT ANY TIME CAN LEAD TO NEGATIVE SIDE EFFECTS. YOU WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO USE THESE EFFECTS FOR UP TO A MINUTE AT A TIME, AND IF IT GOES PAST THAT, YOU WILL BECOME EXTREMELY SICK FROM THE MOTION," he said, me nodding at that.
"Understood. Show off with Blue Eco for a minute at a time. Does it require a recharge?"
"INDEED. FOR EVERY SECOND OF USAGE, YOU WILL REQUIRE 2 SECONDS OF RECHARGE."
"Okay, thanks for everything, mister oracle! I'll use these powers wisely," I smiled as I then went back to town and, after doing so, I saw that Jak and Daxter were finishing up with Jak's 'Uncle' and we now had all the orbs and Power Cells available in town aside from the bird lady's and the Sculptor's.
"You took your time," Jak signed to me.
"Sorry, the Oracle was able to talk to me... it was telling me some interesting things. Also, it said that to get the Power Cells from his person, we'd need 120 orbs for each," I said, which Daxter frowned at.
"So... we're going to Misty Island, then? Again?" Daxter asked, me nodding at him.
"If you want, since it'll just be us over there, I can have you hide in my shirt while we're there, sweetie," I smirked, which Daxter smiled at as he hopped on my shoulder and we went to the boat, which Daxter placed the keys into it and we zoomed off to the island, which halfway through the water, he then hopped into my cleavage, which felt a bit ticklish, but he was respectable and didn't grope or feel them. He just hid between them. "I expected you to feel them all over, not gonna lie, Dax," I smirked at him.
"Aw, but I want to be a good boyfriend. Besides, you're willing to protect me. I still don't know why you're sticking with us being a couple when I'm, y'know, 2 feet tall and fuzzy?" he asked, me smirking at him.
"Big things come in small packages. I learned that when I was in high school, when I managed to beat up my bully for making fun of my height," I smirked, which Daxter smiled and I gave him a furry kiss from above, which he smirked at as we then finally arrived at the island.
"So, we need to find the Muse, get rid of a bunch of lurkers, and find orbs, scout flies, and Power Cells, right?" Daxter asked, me nodding at him.
"Yes, we do. And I'll protect you every step of the way," I smiled at him, which he smirked as as I gave him a small scritch behind the ears. "Feel free to talk if you want, I'm not a fan of dead silence," I admitted, since the adventure was much more boring without the good music of the series.
