[Jak Mar]

Daxter eyes his half phone and half communication device and gets Jak’s attention.”I just checked registration lists and a familiar name just popped up.”

Jak raised a green fuzzy eyebrow “Who?” 

Daxter blinked, almost shocked himself. “Retane. You know from years ago?”

Jak stopped in his tracks “Holy crap, Retane is back?” That brought him back to his first year in the Omniverse. Memories of the tangled greens adventures with Torn and the others came flooding back. 

Daxter frowns, serious “That must mean the horsemen are back.”

Jak looked up with a mix of seriousness and shock “It’s been years.”

He looked over at Dave and nods “Well, Dante’s abyss starts with some sort of theme. This year is tag teams.”

Daxter nods “Last year was tag teams too, right Jak?”

The wastelander nodded “Of course.”

He just seemed to be staring. Daxter turned and looked at his buddy “Hey Jak, buddy, Hellllllo??”!

Of course the first thing on his mind was Retane, so many old faces appearing made memories come flashing back.

First off Torn dying. That hit him like a sack of bricks. How the hell was he going to tell Retane this?

Jak, without realizing, was silent for at least a few seconds “Dax, I want you to go find Retane. I need to think for a few.” 

The horseman was oddly silent for a while as he sighed. He had all but pushed Coruscant back in his mind for a long time off and yet things came rushing back now.

He can’t be weak now, This was a dog-eat-dog world and only the strong survived here. At least that would be what his estranged father Damus would say, and Sig would frown.
