Jak and Daxter were no strangers to the usage of the Jet Board. However it was different chasing down the Metal Head Hosehead that was slithering away down the slopes of the Mountain. 

"Come on, Jak! We can't let the Hosehead get away!" Daxx yelled.

"I'm going as fast as I can, Daxx!" Jak shot back. "Here." He then gave the Morph Gun to Daxx. "Shoot the Metal Head down. I need to steer this thing." 

Daxx started to aim the Morph Gun Blaster Mod at the Hosehead, but then he heard the sounds of a group of Metal Head Grunts charging right next to him and Jak and also started to jump and pounce on Jak. But were shot out of the sky by Daxx. "How did the Metal Heads even get this far up the Mountain?!" He asked.

"We can worry about that later." Jak answered. "Right now we got a Metal Head to kill." 

"Make that several." Daxx corrected as he shot more shots at more charging Metal Heads. But he then noticed that there were several Centurions waiting in ambush by the sides and were shooting up at Jak.

"Hang on, Daxx!" Jak yelled as he evaded the blaster shots on his Jet Board. And Daxter quickly shot the Peace Maker at the Metal Heads to the side. 

"I can see why Sig hates Metal Heads!" Daxx exclaimed. But then he noticed some Metal Head Wasps flying upward. "They're in the sky, Jak!" And the Wasps fired a barrage of purple lasers at Jak and Daxter. But Jak was too fast. And Daxx shot off some more blaster shots at the Metal Head Wasps. He then tried to shoot at the Hosehead they were trying to bring down. But the Hosehead was one slippery little Metal Head. "Urgh! I can't get a clean shot at him! Would it kill this Metal Head to hold still?!" 

"We gotta get closer!" Jak figured. And he pulled a maneuver with the Jet Board to propel him forward with a burst of speed. But from behind them, was more swarms of the Grunts. 

"Urgh! They do not want to make this easy!" Daxx yelled as he prepared to launch his Plasmarite R.P.G from behind. 

"They never do." Jak reminded.


Back at the Mountain Top with the High Dragon, the High Dragon continued to roar and Qwark ran around not wanting to face the Dragon. But what was more was the Metal Heads that were now in the area. 

"Well, at least we'll get in practice before fighting the Archdemon." Ratchet joked before looking at the High Dragon. 

But Talia and Alistair looked worried. It was one thing to fight the smaller Dragons, but now they had to deal with the High Dragon, and of course, now there were the Metal Heads. 

"Talia! We will deal with the Metal Heads!" Wynne informed. "You, Alistair, and Ratchet stop the Dragon! Quickly!" And she began to fire off her Magic Missiles at the Metal Heads in front of her. 

Sten had also drawn his Great Sword and went toe to toe with one of the Juice Goons and his staff. A quick fight as Sig ripped the staff out of the Juice Goon and blasted the Metal Head back with it. He then ripped his sword into a Metal Head Grunt. But a few blaster explosions appeared in front of him. That was when a swarm of the Metal Head Jackets began hovering around him.

"You fiends!" Leliana shot her bow off at the Metal Heads that were swarming around. One getting through at least one Metal Head. She was then helped out by Morrigan who had shot a swarm of Lightning into the skies, electrocuting the Metal Jackets in the air.

"You know. I don't think there is enough room in this world for 2 master assassins." Zevran said as he faced off against a Metal Head Grunt. "And the real one is me." 

But the Grunt had charged at him. "Apparently, you do not feel the same way." Zevran said as he was knocked the ground. But his dagger struck the Metal Head in the head. And Zevran could see the large skull gem from the Metal Head. "Nice Gem. Hm..." Zevran quickly put it in his pack. But then he looked at all the other Metal Head Skull Gems on the ground. "Oh, it is a great payday! Keep the Metal Heads coming!" He exclaimed.
