My first Jak and Daxter fic. Ahhhh… I feel so complete. This, as you may know already, is an AU (Alternate Universe) To decide on which ideas to use, I wrote down all the ideas I had, and pulled a few out of a hat. I hope you enjoy this totally TwIsTeD version of Jak and Daxter. NOTE: I'm using the actual script for this.

Chapter 1: Jak and Daxter?

Samos starts, "I have spent my life searching for the answers that my father and my father's fathers failed to find. Who were the Precursors? Why did they create the vast monoliths that liter our planet? How did they harness Eco, the life energy of the world? What was their purpose? And why did they vanish? I have asked the plants, but they do not remember. I have asked the rocks, but the rocks do not recall. Even the rocks do not recall. Every bone in my body tells me that the answers rest on the shoulders... of a young boy... oblivious to his destiny, uninterested in the search for truth, and rejecting of my guidance! And why would he want to listen to old Samos the sage, anyway? I'm only the master of Green Eco, one of the wisest men on the planet! So it seems the answers begin not with careful research or sensible thinking. Nay! As with many of fate's mysteries, it begins with but a small act... of disobedience."

Two teenagers, about 15 years of age, are riding in a canoe to a dark island shrouded is mist and fog. One is a tall boy with blond hair stacked up high. He's wearing a blue tunic and goggles. He is laying back, relaxed. He has amazing muscle and is no doubt strong. The other is a thin and lanky boy with flame colored hair and buckteeth. He's wearing mostly red and white. He, too, is wearing goggles on his head. The boat rocks a little and the lanky boy, Daxter, falls out. He pulls himself up from out of the water and flashes the taller boy, Jak, a grin. Jak smirks ad giggles. The boat arrives at Misty Island and Jak makes his way off the boat without fear, while Daxter stumbles around fearfully. "Hey! Uh, Jak? Old Green Stuff told us not to come here." Daxter spoke, his voice sounding nervous. Jak ignored the boy's pleas and continued on. Voices are heard and Jak hides behind a nearby rock to see what's going on. Daxter follows, hurting himself on the rock. Jak shushes him so he could listen. There are two mysterious characters, a man and a woman, who are talking to a large crowd of lurkers.

"Continue your search for artifacts and Eco." The man takes a deep breath, as if he has breathing problems. "The locals possess Precursor items. You know what to do."

"Deal harshly with anybody who strays from the village." Said the woman. "We will attack it in due time." Jak stupidly chooses to ignore them and continues looking about the island. Daxter follows. The duo is heard by a lurker, who follows them. The two end up by a pit filled with a dark colored liquid.

"What are we doin' here anyway, Jak? This place gives me the creeps." Daxter asked, still fidgeting. Jak says nothing. Daxter then tripped over some kind of object on the ground. Jak can't help but chuckle at how clumsy his friend is. "Huh? Oh, stupid Precursor junk!" Daxter picks up the cylinder shaped object and goes up to Jak who is staring into the pit of dark liquid. "Eech! What is that dark ooze? It sure don't look friendly. The sage yaps on about the Precursors who built this place all the time. 'Where did they go? Why did they build this crap?' Now, I like Precursor Orbs and Power Cells as much as the next guy, but if you ask me?" Daxter threw the object and Jak catches it. "They must have been real losers." Daxter puts his hand on his hip, striking an awfully girly pose. The object stars glowing in Jak's hand. "Wow! How did ya do that?" Daxter shouted, amazed. Suddenly, the lurker who was following them jumped up from hiding. "Jak, I think we're in trouble!" Daxter was terrified out of his wits. Jak, feeling the need to protect his easily frightened friend, throws the object at the lurker, it explodes, destroying the lurker and forcing Jak backwards. Jak bumps into Daxter. Daxter screams as he falls into the pit of dark colored liquid. Jak looks into the pit with fear and concern on his face. Just when Jak thought all was lost, Daxter shoots out from the liquid and lands on his back, but somehow, he looks different.

"Man, that stung! I told ya we shouldn't have come here, had you listened...." Jak was staring at Daxter with confusion on his face. "WHAT?!" Jak's glare is focused on the new found curves his friend had acquired. Daxter followed his gaze to find something no man should have. He...... she let out a loud high pitched scream. After a while she looked back at Jak. "Okay, okay, I'm fine, I'm fine..." She started screaming again.

Later, at dawn, Jak and Daxter arrive at the green sage's hut. "Jak," Daxter started, "can't I wait out here?" Daxter didn't want to be embarrassed by his new form, but Jak gave him the 'are you serious?' look. "Fine I'm coming, I'm coming." The two went into the hut, Daxter tried to go in undetected, but failed.

"What in green tarnation do you two want?" The green sage shouted.

"We- we- we was...! I-I was...!" Daxter stumbled on her words.

"Don't tell me! Instead of heeding my wisdom, the two of you went mucking around in the only place I told you not to go: Misty Island!"

"That's right! And then we..."

"And, Daxter, you finally took a much-needed bath. But in a bath tub filled... with Dark Eco!"

"Look, old man! Are you gonna keep yappin', or are you gonna help me outta this mess?!"

"I'm gonna keep yappin'! Because, in my professional opinion, you got what you deserve. And besides... I couldn't help you if I wanted to."

"What!?"

"There is only one person who has studied Dark Eco long enough to have a chance at returning you to your previous form. Gol Akaron, the sage. But he lives far to the north. Far, far to the north! Nobody has spoken to him for ages. I would teleport you there, but I can't do that either. None of the three sages that maintain the other teleporter gates have seen fit to turn their ends on for quite awhile. The only other way north is by foot on the Fire Canyon. But its volcanic soil is hot enough to melt Precursor metal. You can't just walk through it!"

"But you could fly over it!" A girl with teal colored hair appeared at the entrance to Samos's hut. She was wearing a white shirt and purple pants. She had sparkly eyes and perfect curves. Daxter's girl emotions started kicking in, making her feel jealous. Jak instantly perked up when she spoke. "If you had a Zoomer equipped with a heat shield... I just happen to be working on that very thing this moment. All I would need was 20 Power Cells to give it enough energy to withstand the canyon's heat. Isn't that right, Daddy?" Daxter looked the other way, not wanting to face this perfect girl, but her inner boy couldn't help but check her out.

"Yes, Keira, that might work. But where are a boy... and a little girl... going to get 20 Power Cells?"

"From the villagers! Most of them have a Power Cell or two stashed away somewhere. And even if they aren't willing to just give them away, greasing their palms with a few Precursor Orbs should do the trick. And I bet there are even more of them out in the wilds, just waiting for some brave adventurer to find." Keira bats at Jak and Jak grins. Daxter, however, is not amused.

"Well, we've got the brave adventurer, at least." Daxter points to herself, trying to get Jak's attention away from Keira. Daxter didn't even know why she cared. Stupid girl emotions. She thought to herself.

"Brave adventurer? You two couldn't find your way out of the village without training! Before you do anything else, you better go through the warp gate and get some practice on Geyser Rock." Samos retorted back.

"Uh, we won't find anymore of that dark, gooey Eco stuff, will we? 'Cause I'd hate to fall in again and turn into you!"

"Get in there before I turn you both into ferns!" Jak enters the Portal. Daxter follows.

Jak and Daxter return form Geyser rock with the 4 power cells they found. Jak lands on his feet, while Daxter is shot out roughly and falls on her butt. "Good training, you two. But that's nothing compared to the challenges that lie ahead!" The sage warned.

"Aaaah, they're noooo problem! We got the moves, eh Jak? We'd love to stay and chat, Big Green, but we're uh, itching to get on with our adventures." Daxter replied.

"Fine, fine. "Adventure" away then. And while you're out "adventuring", why don't you make youeself useful? My darn Green Eco collectors are clogged up again. Head out to the far side of the beach and clear them out, why don't you? Follow the lamps. They'll take you right there. Now... all of you... GET OUT OF HERE!!" Jak and Daxter decided to talk to him again, just in case he had something else to say. "Some brave adventurers you two are. Back already and without clearing my blocked Eco harvesters! They're on the far side of the beach, you two. Now... GET MOVING!!" Daxter mumbled something about him having problems and then exited the sages hut with Jak.
