WOO! Jak II! Ok so It's shorter than previous chapters but it's my moms b-day tomorrow and my dad is waking me up early to wish her a happy birthday before she heads off to work. Plus I've been at this story for the past few nights and my neck is killing me. Plus I'm tired. SO ENJOY! And start reviewing people seriously I want your thoughts.

It's been a year since we defeated Gol and Maia. That's how long it took Keira to put together what we found behind the door. Jak had gotten taller and more built though he still doesn't really talk. Daxter's gotten taller too but he's just as Daxter as ever. Keira has been a little nicer to me since then. She still tries to flirt with Jak but he always shoots her down. Saimos is still... well, Saimos. As for me. I let my hair grow out, but only a tiny bit. It now hangs just past my ear even though it still curls around my face, and I cut my bangs so they went to my brow line and hung to the side instead of straight down to my nose. My relationship with Jak got a lot stronger over the past year as well. I told him a lot. And by a lot, I mean from what little I can remember before I showed up in Sandover three years ago all the way up to what I though and felt after we beat Gol. I even managed to get a little out of him. We shared stuff and I got him to talk. Keira and Daxter from what I know have never been able to do that. Me and Daxter have gotten a lot closer too. I even told him I see him as a little brother... despite the fur and tail.

Right now how ever, we are sitting in Keira's little travel seat... thing... hey so I'm still not that technologically inclined ok? Besides... since when have I closely listened to her explaining these things... So the thing we found is a Large Precursor ring. She found the seat thing with it. I sat on the other end from Keira while Jak stood beside me and Daxter asleep on the front bars. Saimos walked up to us and looked seriously at Jak.

" Today's the big day, Jak. I hope you are prepared... for whatever happens."

Keira took over.

" I think I've figured out most of this machine. It interacts somehow with that large Precursor Ring. I just hope we didn't break anything moving it here to the lab."

I moved over next to Keira. We smiled slightly at each other. We're working on it. Jak sat next to me and grabbed my hand. I hope this works. At some point Daxter woke up and heard us without any of us knowing and butted in onto my lap.

" Easy for YOU to say! We did all the heavy lifting!"

He reached for something on the console and Saimos yelled at him not to touch stuff. Busted.

" Though the Precursors vanished long ago, the artifacts they left behind can still do great harm."

Keira objects! Not really. She NEVER argues with her father.

" Or great good! If you figure out how to use them."

Saimos sat next to Jak on the end. Though I'm not sure how we are able to manage with his giant log he keeps his hair wrapped around.

" I've had some experience with such things. I know you can make it work."

Jack reaches for a big red jem attached to the console and made the coordinate thing open up. Daxter smiled while Keira and I looked closer at it.

" Looks like Jak's still got he mojo."

" Interesting... it appears to be reading out some preset coordinates..."

Suddenly everything began shaking and the sky grew darker. The giant rings began to levitate and swirling vortex appeared. To me it gave off an ominous feeling. I grabbed Jak's hand more tightly without looking away. Everyone else was impressed though. Like Daxter.

" Wow. Look at that."

All of the sudden a dark voice speud from the light of the vortex sending chills of dread down my spine.

" Finally! The last Rift Gate has been opened."

So THAT'S what it's called. These huge black bugs came flying out and swarmed everywhere. I pressed into Jak's shoulder while holding Daxter close so he wouldn't be carried away.

" Aaagghh! What are those things?!"

Saimos seemed to realize something.

" So this is how it happened..."

I screamed when this huge, ugly creature poked out through the vortex.

" You cannot hide from me boy!"

"Jak. Do something!"

Daxter began randomly pushing and twisting things in a panic.

" What's this do? Or that! How 'bout this one! Everybody, press all the buttons!"

Jak wrapped one arm around my waist before pushing the red gem he had pressed before.

The craft shot forward and propelled us into the vortex.

" What was that thing?!"

I couldn't tell if it was Daxter or Keira who asked because all I could really hear was the air rushing past my ears.

" Hang on everyone!"

Daxter was screaming in my ear and it made them ring more than they already were.

" YYYAAAAAHHHHH! I want off this thing!"

Suddenly we were struck my electricity and were flung out of the now destroyed transporter. Me and Keira screamed while I held on tightly to Jak's hand with Daxter clung in my other arm. Keira and Saimos started falling away from us as we kept shooting forward. Then Saimos said the oddest thing.

" Find yourself Jak!"

Then there was a bright light. Suddenly we were falling out of the sky and shot to the ground taking a pretty hard landing. I sat up next to Jak while Daxter sat up with the pipe he was holding onto still clutched in his hands. We looked around and I could not believe what we were seeing. There were metal buildings everywhere and these flying things that looked like they were based off Keira's zoomer. The people were also a bit bigger than us and were wearing strange but... admittedly nice clothes. Daxter threw the pipe and looked pretty pissed. But he always gets over it. Mostly.

" Okay. I swear that's the last time I ever. EVER. Touch any stupid Precursor crap!"

Suddenly these strange men wearing red suits walked up to us being led by a slightly shorter one. They all had these odd tattoos on their ears and faces. That must have hurt. They walked right up to us and scared off Daxter. The shorter guy said someone named the Baron wanted us. I got really scared and hid slightly behind Jak. Yes. Even though I have been training with Jak for the past year, I am still somewhat a coward. Also these aren't lurkers .. These are men with guns. Even Jak looked scared as he kept me behind him. One of the men though got a hold of my upper arm and ripped me away from Jak.

" JAK!"

That was all I was able to get out before I got hit in the back off the head and blacked out.
