IRON OXIDE
It was just an ordinary day for everyone at Turtle Woods. But it was not just a day for the bandicoot residence.
Scene: Crash's house
The doorbell rang.
Crash: Coco, come and see who's at the door!
Coco: Okay Dokey smokey.
Coco opened the door and saw their visitors, Pinstripe, Dingo, Tiny & Papu.
Coco: I thought you guys would never come!
Pinstripe: We's always come to a party!!
Dingo: Especially a get-together party!
You might not know this but, Crash decided to hold a get-together party for his friends.(Yup, Friends. Because they beat Oxide in CTR together)
Papu: Papu want food!!
Crash: Help yourself! (Showing Papu to the lunch table)
Papu: Papu eat Burger!
Pinstripe: You's guys want to watch Pokémon?
Coco: Pokémon? I love ‘em!
Dingo: Turn the TV on mate.
Tiny: Where? (It was just in front of him)
Coco: Forget it. I'll turn it on.
At the kitchen...
Crash: Hey, Aku when will the cookies be ready?
Aku: Patience child. It will be ready in a couple of minutes. By the way, where's Tawna?
Crash: Oh, she's coming.
Tawna was from N. Sanity beach. She promised Crash she would come. Tawna was just a few blocks away when...
Tawna: Ouch!! (She tripped on a weird-looking box) Wonder what this is? I better bring it to Aku.
Just when she was about to get up, A bunch of gremlins appeared and seemed to chase Tawna!! Luckily, She had wumpa fruits and she threw it on the gremlins to scare them. Tawna was so scared about what just happen that she ran all the way to Crash's house by just 30 seconds! She knocked on the door and hurried inside.
Pinstripe: Slow down, you're to cute to get all tired!!
Dingo: Quiet! Pikachu and Mewtwo are fighting!
Tawna: Aku, Crash! Come here pronto!
Coco: What's gotten in to you?
Tawna: I was chased by gremlins! Oh, I found this weird box. I tripped over it.
Crash: Cool! Let's open it!
Aku: Now, Crash. Let's be careful.
Papu: Papu open it!
So, Papu opened it and inside the box is a sword and an inscription. Aku read the inscription.
Aku: I, Nitrous Oxide swear revenge on all once i get the sword of Semerkhet (Semerkhet is from “Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation”) and I will transform in to the mighty Iron Oxide!!!! After I transformed, I will become stronger and have the power to destroy all living things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everybody was shocked on what they just heard.
Pinstripe: Lemme get this straight. If Oxide gets this sword he's will become more powerful ever?
Coco: I think so.
Aku: Wait! It says in this inscription that Oxide will send Gremlins to look for this box.
Crash: I think those Gremlins are chasing you because you've got the box, Tawna
Then, all of a sudden, A gremlin popped out!!
Tawna: EEEK!! That's one of those gremlins!
Dingo: Move over, mate this is a job for me!
Then, he took out his flamethrower and roasted the gremlin. Tiny came closer to it.
Tiny: Hmm... smells good. Can I eat it?
Pinstripe: You don't eat gremlins, idiot!
Aku: I have a hunch that those gremlins will keep coming until they get this box. We have to guard this day & night!
Crash: I'm not gonna let Oxide do that!
Coco: Me too
Tiny: Me three!
Dingo: OK, mates. Why don't we all guard the box?
Papu: Papu agrees.
Pinstripe: I have my tommy gun ready for some gremlins!
Aku: We should keep an eye on this box!
As night fell in, Crash still keeps an eye on the Box. Aku, Coco & Tawna went to the kitchen to prepare dinner while Dingodile and Pinstripe decided to play some poker. Papu also keeps a sharp look on the box while Tiny decided to eat the wumpa fruit cookies that Aku baked. There was a sharp knock from the door. Tiny was alarmed and growled at the spectre when he opened the door. The spectre licked him in the face.
Tiny: AAAAARGH!!! He caught me!
Dingo: It's just Pura you dingbat!
Tiny: Oh, uh... I meant to do that.
Coco: Oh, Pura! I thought you'd never came!
Pura: Meowwww!!!
Tawna: Dinner is ready! (As she served the delicious wumpa soup and burger steak to Crash, Dingo, Pinstripe, Papu & Tiny)
After the splendid dinner, Coco decided to make her famous desert: Coco soufle ala flambe!
Papu: Papu like desert!!
After that, Pinstripe & Dingo continued playing poker while Papu & Crash kept an eye on the box that contained the sword of Semerkhet. It was already getting very late but still, Crash and the gang waited and guarded the box.
Coco: I give up! They're never coming to get the sword!
Aku: Patience, we may not know when they will strike.
Suddenly, a gremlin came out of nowhere and hopped on Coco's back! Then, more gremlins stormed the place.
Coco: (Shrieking) Get him off me!
Crash gave the gremlin a whack that sent him flying on the window. Still, the gremlins came.
Pinstripe: You guys wanna play rough eh? (Pulling out the tommy gun) Then rough it shall be!
Pinstripe aimed the tommy gun and shot about 7 gremlins.
Dingo: Time to roast this babies!!
Dingo shot fire from his flamethrower and hit about a dozen gremlins.
Tiny: I crush gremlin, I smash gremlin, I EAT GREMLINS!!
At one bite, Tiny swallowed 5 gremlins!
Tawna: Tiny, you don't eat gremlins!
Tiny: Well, I'm still hungry! (Gulped)
Papu decided to destroy the gremlins the easy way; He sat on them with his well-over 500 pound butt!!! But, just when they were about to eliminate the 8 remaining Gremlins, 1 of the gremlins released a gas bomb that knocked the gang unconscious. The gremlins stole the box with the sword of Semerkhet from our unconscious friends.
*******************************
Scene 2: Planet Gasmoxia
The gremlins took the box from a far-away planet called Gasmoxia. When they came to the planet, they entered a dark and spooky castle. They gave the box to their master-a green, evil alien. The alien Nitrous Oxide glanced at the box and opened the box carefully. He saw the sword-the sword of Semerkhet. After a long silence, the alien gave an evil grin that pleased the gremlins.
Oxide: At last, the sword is mine!! And now, for the last, Gremlins! Get the inscription of my great-grandfather so that I may evolve to the mighty Iron Oxide!!!
The Gremlins hand to Oxide the inscription of his great-grandfather. Oxide began to read the inscription.
Oxide: I, Oxide, descendant of the ever-powerful Semerkhet, wishes to evolve to my greatest form! And I Oxide, will rule over the entire universe for all eternity...
Then, Oxide muttered Alien words that are very painful when Humans hear it. After, that he spoke again.
Oxide: Semerkhet, grant my wish! Alta vreau mecha! (Alien Language)
There was a great ball of fire that circled Oxide. Then, Oxide's voice become lower!
Oxide: hahahahaha....
Oxide began to lose his green skin and it became bluish! His eyeballs disappeared, his eyes turned red, and his hands, feet & head became iron!!! The gremlins were very much pleased on what was happening.
Oxide: Finally, i transformed into… Iron Oxide!!!
He laughed at his new voice - a very low voice. Then, he stopped.
Oxide: Now, to test my power!
He aimed his fingers on a distant planet and shot a powerful blast that destroyed the whole planet!! Even the nearby asteroids were destroyed!!
Oxide: Haha! Now is my time... to rule the universe!!!
**************************
Scene 3: Back at Crash's house
When we last left our heroes, they have been bombarded with gas bombs that made them dizzy.
Crash: (groaning) Oh… Oh my aching head!
(Then he scanned the place)
Crash: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! The box is gone! Wake up everybody!
Everybody felt conscious and got up.
Aku: The box is gone?
Crash: Yes!
Coco: Oh No! Oxide might transform to Iron Oxide any minute now!
Pinstripe: I think he's did.(Pointing to a large picture in the sky)
Everybody looked up and saw a picture of Iron Oxide. Then it began to speak
Picture: Earthlings, you are first to feel the wrath of the mighty Iron Oxide! I will destroy each & every one of you, and make my slaves... Forever!!!!!
Then, the picture disappeared and then came Iron Oxide!
Crash: That's the evolve form of N. Oxide?
Coco: Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Iron Oxide: Humans, feel my power!
He shot a powerful blast to our planet that destroyed a continent!
Iron Oxide: That's just a warm-up! But you know, I also have pity on you so, I will wait for 10 days, and destroy you all!!!! (He disappeared)
Dingo: Mates, I think we gotta go to space and destroy Oxide ourselves before he destroys us after 10 days!
Tawna: You're right, but how? Do we have to build a space ship?
Aku: I know an underground portal where we could go and be teleported to space in no time! Follow me!
And the gang followed Aku Aku to the underground portal.
****************************
Scene 4: Gateway of the portal
The Gang followed Aku Aku until they reached a dark, spooky cave.
Crash: So, is this the portal?
Aku: This is just the gateway. Now listen, this cave was believed to have ghosts & ghouls so, stay alert!
They entered the cave but, suddenly, the door of the cave locked them in!
Tawna: Oh, great!
Aku: There's no time to worry, the future of our world rests in our hands.
Tiny: Really? Where? (looking at his hands)
Pinstripe: It's a figure of speech, dope!
Tiny: Um... Yeah, I meant to do that!
Coco: Whatever....
Pura: Meooooow! Meooooooow!
Coco: What is it Pura?
Pura: Meow! (pointing at a coffin)
Aku: Hmmm... What could be a coffin doing here?
Suddenly, a mummy came out!
Dingo: Roasting time, mytes!
He pulled out his flamethrower but bats surprised him and blinded him!
Pinstripe: I'm gonna shoot this bats, you guys take care of that bad boy!
Pulling out his tommy gun, he began to shoot the bats.
Papu: Papu kick butt of mummy!
Tiny: Me too!
Papu Jumped on the mummy and did the stinky-face! Tiny Pounced at it and gave a severe punching, killing it!
Crash: Hey! Look! The portal!
Tawna: The portal?
Coco: The Portal!
Pinstripe: Let's roll!
Dingo: Iron Oxide, here we come!
***************************
Scene 5: Portal
Coco: Yay! We made it to the portal!
Aku: Now, alls we gotta do is go through the warp thingy.
Crash: Uh... Guys. What the heck is that?
They all turned to a dark corner of the portal. There was a black shadow coming to them!
Crash: (pulling out this fruit bazooka) Stay back! This could get ugly!
The shadow went closer to them. But as soon as they could see its face, it was just... Neo Cortex!
Cortex: Oh! My Head!
Crash: Told ya it could get ugly!
Tawna: Cortex, what are you doing here?
Cortex: Well, I heard about Oxide's plot and decided to kick his 2-dollar walking behind all the way to last week!
Dingo: What a coincidence mate! That is where we are going!
Aku: Okay, why don't you join us Cortex?
Cortex: Affirmative!
Tiny: Affirmative?
Cortex: It means yes, you numbskull!
Tiny: Oh uh... Yeah! I meant to do that!
Aku: Come on, in to the warp!
So they all went to the warp
Crash: I'm glad we’re in this warp thingy!
Aku: Be careful child, although we are in the warp but there are dangers that lurk in!
Tawna: Dangers?
Aku: I suggest that we all hold together in order to prevent us from being stuck in this warp! You see, the warp has strong force that it could pull down all of us and we could be stuck here forever!
Pura: Meow!
Aku: Also watch for debris that are floating!
Suddenly, about a million sets of debris surprised the gang and they are coming to them. Crash pulled out his bazooka to shoot them. Dingo aimed his flamethrower and shot them.
Papu: Papu sees the end of the warp!!
Aku: Okay, close your eyes for the bright light might blind you!
Everybody did what Aku told. In a split second, they found themselves in space!
Meanwhile on Planet Gasmoxia...
Oxide: So, those puny earthlings came to space to fight me eh? Well, they're falling right in my trap!
*****************************
Scene 6: 4th moon of Gasmoxia
Tiny: O'right! We made it to outside space!
Coco: Lookie lookie! It's planet Gasmoxia! (Pointing out to a big, green planet)
Aku: First, we better get ourselves alien suits.
Crash: Why?
Aku: Well, so we don't get caught. We all gotta act like aliens before they suspects we are from Earth.
Dingo: Hey! We could buy our suits in that market, mytes!
Aku: Wait! There are lots of aliens! They might see us!
Tawna: There must be someway we could do to drive them away!
Cortex: Hmmm... I've an idea!
He pulled out a grenade launcher and shot it in front of the aliens. They were scared and fled off. They quickly head to the mart where they "get" the suits.
Tiny: I don't feel comfy in this suit!
Papu: Shut your pork-trap!
Pinstripe: Okay! Lets go to Gasmoxia!
As they left, they didn't notice that they were being followed by Oxide's gremlins!
One of the gremlins took out his Bokia Cell-o-phone.
Gremlin: Zuc xyyq pqwe qutec! (Alien Language-" Master, they're going to your place!)
Oxide: (talking on the cell) Prepare the trap for our "Visitors"!
Gremlin: Blaqx yrttoiu zantroaem! (Master wants us to prepare the trap for his "Visitors")
Other gremlins: Alto Taquio! (Yes sir!)
Crash: Now, how do we get to Gasmoxia?
Pura: Meowwww! (pointing to a space bus)
Crash: That's right! Nice Job!
Pura: Meow!
Aku: I don't know Crash. What if it's a trap?
Coco: Aku's right! What if it is a trap?
Crash: Well, how'dya suppose we're going to get to Gasmoxia?
Aku: Okay, but let's be careful!
They entered the space bus. They were the only passengers in the bus.
Crash: Uh, To planet Gasmoxia sir!
Driver: As you wish!
The bus began to lift in the air and zoomed off.
Driver: Please put on your seatbelt! There's a current asteroid shower in Gasmoxia and we don't know if we will encounter it.
Everyone buckled up except for Crash.
Tawna: What's the matter?
Crash: My seatbelt is defective!
As they make themselves comfortable for the long drive, little did the gang know that the Gremlins got into the bus!
*********************
Scene 7: Space Bus
Everyone was pretty relaxed in the ride. Crash decided to rest, Coco chatted with her laptop, Tawna read a book about "what you can make with wumpa" and Dingo, Pinstripe, Papu & Tiny watched Pokémon from the space bus T.V. Then, the bus stewardess came.
Stewardess: Do you want some food?
Papu: Papu want wumpa fries & wumpa burger!
Stewardess: Wumpa?
Dingo: (Saying to Papu in a soft voice) Papu, there are no wumpa in space!
Papu: Uh, make that burgers & fries.
Tiny: Hey! Pretty woman! I want every food you got in the bus!
Tawna: Tiny, do not be rude!
Pura: Meow!
The stewardess looked at the tiger.
Stewardess: I'm sorry but your pet has to go all the way back!
Coco: WHY?
Stewardess: Uh, no pets allowed. All the pets must be kept at the back.
Coco: Uh... OK.
After the stewardess left with Pura on her hand, Tiny & Papu decided to eat their food.
Tawna: Uh, driver, where is the lady's bathroom?
Driver: There, right in front of seat 666.
On the way there, a gremlin popped out and attempted to kill her but Tawna looked back. The gremlin hid quickly.
Tawna: I've a hunch someone's following me!
She decided to go back to her seat because she's scared. Then, she woke Crash up.
Tawna: Crash, Crash! I've something to tell you.
Crash: (snoring) What my dear?
Before she could speak, the driver looked at them with red, angry eyes and said......
Driver: Prepare to die earthlings!
Coco: (slamming her laptop) WHAT!
The driver and stewardess weren't a driver and stewardess at all! They transformed back into their normal selves... GREMLINS!
Tawna: Why you...
Coco: You're gonna pay for this!
She struggled to get out of her seatbelt. Everybody also tried to get out but...
Driver: Fools! The seatbelt is a trap! It's made out of steel!
Papu: Papu can break steel in to 2!
Tiny: Me too.
They tried but...
Stewardess: No use! The food you ate is also a trap! It reduces your strength!
But Crash rose up from his chair and aimed his bazooka on the 2.
Crash: Party's over.
Driver: How did you...
Crash: My seatbelt is defective!
Driver: Oh yeah? Gremlins attack!
Suddenly, all the gremlins came out of their hiding places! They began to circle Crash! Then, they began to attack. Crash used his tornado spin to knock a bunch of gremlins. The driver grabbed an axe and swung it to Crash but it missed and hit Dingo's seatbelt!
Dingo: O Right! (He flamed the seatbelts of everyone and they were freed)
Pinstripe shot the gremlins. Dingo roasted them. Aku created a vortex that killed many of them. Papu decided to lay his butt on them. Tiny as always, wants to eat gremlins so he ate them! Crash spinned at the driver to knock him. He grabbed the axe and decapitated him. But...
Stewardess: Nobody move, or I'll kill Tawna! (Holding her by her head)
Suddenly, at the back was a growling noise. Pura appeared and pounced at the Stewardess so Tawna could be free. Then he bit her neck. A green, slimy blood appeared and flowed from the stewardess’s neck.
Coco: Oh Pura! What did that idiot stewardess do to you?
Pura: Meoooow! Merrrow! Purrrr... grr
Aku: I think he's saying that the stewardess was trying to cook him at the back.
Pura: Meow!
Dingo: (glancing at the window) Look mytes! Gasmoxia! We're close to Gasmoxia!
Everybody looked and was happy that they reached Gasmoxia.
Crash: Let's go! I'll steer this bus to Gasmoxia!
Crash steered the bus and landed it to a place where no alien could see it.
Crash: Let's go!
All of them got out.
Pinstripe: Let's get that Idiot Oxide!
Aku: How do we know where Oxide is?
Alien: I know where he is!
The gang turned to the red alien standing next to them.
Crash: Who are you?
Alien: The name's Blair. I know where Oxide is! In fact, I heard rumours that Oxide transformed into its iron form!
Crash: Uh, give me a moment to talk to buddies here.
The gang formed a circle. Crash started to talk.
Crash: Well. What do you think? Should we follow him?
Coco: No! It might be a trap!
Tawna: That gremlin in the bus almost killed me! Coco is right! It's a trap!
Dingo: He's nice! Look at cute face! Let's follow him!
Aku: Don't judge a book by its cover!
Crash: Okay, OKAY! Flip a coin. If heads we follow Blair, if tails, we go on our own.
Blair: Well?
Crash: Just a sec.
So Crash flipped a coin and… Heads!
Crash: Okay, we'll follow you!
Blair: Come!
So Crash and the gang followed Blair.
Meanwhile, at Oxide's fortress…
Gremlin: Master, Crash and his talented lunatics arrived here and they're coming to get ya!
Oxide: Not to worry! I've set up a surprise for them! Hahahahahahahhaha!!!!!!!!!
Meanwhile, the gang was still following Blair when he stopped dead.
Crash: Are we there yet?
Blair: Yes! Into the cave! That's where Oxide is!
Before they stepped in the cave, they glanced at it. They saw a very steep road leading to the cave.
Tawna: You mean we have to go down this steep road to get to Oxide's? Blair?
They searched everywhere but he was not found until... Someone shot them with shockwave! They looked up to see... Blair! He deliver another shockwave that sent them falling to the cave! He covered the entrance of the cave with large rocks. The gang was trapped inside!
Crash: We've been double-crossed!
***************************
Scene 9: Caves of Gasmoxia
Tawna: I told you, it's a trap!
Aku: Let us not blame ourselves for it. We have to find a way out.
Crash: Come on!
They continued to explore the cave. Soon, they reached a dead-end.
Pinstripe: Dead-end? How's we gonna get out?
Aku: Hmmm... A plinth inscription! Maybe this inscription could help!
Aku read it but couldn't understand it!
Papu: Based from the drawing from this inscription, we got to get that blue light above… (points to a bright light above) …to hit this mirror here.
Dingo: How are we gonna do that myte? The light cannot hit the mirror cause it's way high!
Papu: maybe if we get that broken mirror… (poins to a piece of mirror lying in the ground) …hold it and place it where the light is hitting, then direct it to the other mirror, we may be able to do it!
So, they picked up the piece of the mirror, put it where the light was striking, and directed it to the other mirror! And... It worked! After they had accomplished this challenging feat, they noticed that a secret door was revealed!
Crash: Nice work, Papu!
Papu: Thank you!
Tiny: I could have done it myself!
Pinstripe: Whatever....
They entered the secret room. But as soon as they entered, the door shut closed and some Gasmoxian beetles came barging into them!
Pinstripe: More critters, eh?
He pulled out his Uzis (his tommy gun is out of bullets and ammo) and tried to shoot those beetles. But, they were not hurt!
Pinstripe: I think's this critters are INDESTRUCTIBLE!!!!!!!!
Cortex: We'd better try for plan B!
Coco: What's that?
Cortex: RUN!
They ran as fast as they could, trying to avoid the Gasmoxian beetles but, they had gone to a dead-end!
Tawna: Is there a way out?
Crash: There's no way out!
Suddenly, Crash discovered a hidden lever while pushing and holding the walls of the cave. He immediately pulled it and they slid down to yet another secret passageway. When they landed on the cave floor...
Pura: Meow!
Coco: What is it?
Pura: Meow! (He ran to the far corner of the cave)
Tiny: What? Does he need a litter box?
Cortex: No! I think he's trying to show us something, dingbat!
Tiny: Oh! I meant to say that!
Pinstripe: Shut up!
They followed Pura and saw a bright light at the end. At a split second, they found themselves outside the cave!
Crash: Yay! We made it!
Aku: What is this place?
They were in front of a dark, and large castle. Then, they saw 2 gremlins walking by.
Gremlin 1: Oxide will be proud on what Blair did to those earthlings!
Gremlin 2:They really think that Blair would help them! Bah! He's on our side!
Gremlin 1: Come on, let get into Oxide's castle!
After they got in, Crash gave in a loud yell!
Crash: We made it! We made it! We're actually in the gate of Iron Oxide!
***********************
Scene 10: Castle Gateway
Aku: Come on, Let's go!
Tiny: I want rest!
Aku: Later! We have to go!
Tawna: Aku, we've been adventuring for 3 days without sleep! If we can't rest now, we'll be dead tired!
Crash: But we only have 7 days to eliminate Oxide! He said he would destroy Earth on the 10th day!
Cortex: Maybe you should have taken my anti-sleeping pills!
Cortex gave his pills to everyone. They all ate it.
Pinstripe: You should have given this before!
Cortex: Well, I forgot...
Aku: OK! Let's go!
They entered the gate and then it closed. Suddenly, Oxide's vision appeared.
Oxide: So! You think you got me eh? Gremlins attack!!
A horde of Gremlins appeared. They weren’t just gremlins, they were BERSERK!
Crash: We can't beat those Gremlins! They're berserk!
Aku: I've an idea! But first, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!
The gang stayed together and ran but the berserk gremlins were after them.
Dingo: What's the plan?
Aku: You see that boulder on the top of that small hill? Papu, Tiny & Dingo will go there. We will lure them to you. Once you see the gremlins, you'll push the boulder and the gremlins will be flattened! Ok?
Crash: Yeah!
Cortex: Affirmative.
Tawna: Yes!
Coco: Yup.
Papu: Uh-huh.
Pinstripe: All right!
Dingo: OK, myte.
Tiny: Oke doke.
Pura: Meow!
Dingo, Papu & Tiny hid behind the boulder while the others lured them there.
Crash: Ok, they're coming! Roll the boulder!
They pushed the boulder and it smashed on the whole gremlin troop! Oxide couldn't believe it!
Crash: (pointing to the vision of Oxide) You're next!
Oxide: Over my dead body!
The gang entered the castle and were eager to whip Oxide's 2-dollar walking behind.
***************************
Scene 11: Oxide's Castle
The gang rushed to Oxide's castle and confronted him.
Crash: End of the line, Oxide!
Oxide: O yeah?
He shot a fireball and it hit Aku Aku.
Dingo: You want heat? Eat this!
Dingo shot powerful fire but Oxide countered it with water.
Oxide: My turn!
He produced a very large fireball that knocked everyone down.
Crash: That's it! You want fight? You got it!
Cortex: Crash, drink this potion! This will help you produce fireballs!
Crash: Cool! You got fireball oxide? Well, I have mine!
Crash aimed his fireball to Oxide and fired it. But, it missed its target. Oxide fired but Crash dodged! The crossfire went on for an hour. Both were getting tired. Oxide decided to attack Crash with his bare hands. Crash did the same. They exchanged punches and kicks. Oxide grabbed Crash and choked him out. He threw him like he was a sack of tomatoes. Then, he produced a fireball and aimed it at Crash.
Oxide: It's my time now!
He fired it at Crash but he somehow escaped! He took out his bazooka and fired. At the same time he threw a fireball. Oxide dodged the bazooka but got hit by the fireball. The fireball exploded and it produced a deafening noise. But Oxide got up!
Oxide: Is that all? You're weak!
He countered it with a shockwave. It hit Crash and sent him crashing to the wall. It knocked him unconscious!
Coco: Crash! No!
Oxide then created a force field that kept the others away from Crash! He then created a very large beam.
Oxide: This will keep you blind Crash!
Crash saw how the big the beam was. If he didn't do something quick, he'd be blind! He quickly grabbed a small mirror lying on the ground. Oxide fired the beam but Crash countered it by holding the mirror as a shield. It returned to Oxide and blinded him. Crash then fired multiple fireballs and it killed Oxide. The team rejoiced! But, as soon as they look into Oxide's mangled body, the body had changed! It wasn't Oxide's body it was...
Coco: Blair!
Tawna: Oxide tricked us! He used Blair and made him a decoy! Grr… how I hate him!
Then, out of nowhere, Oxide's picture appeared!
Oxide: So, you found out that I used Blair as a decoy huh? You should know that I'm not that weak. I'm waaaaaayyy stronger than him, you or anybody else!
Then, it disappeared.
Crash: Come on, we gotta find where the real Oxide is!
**************************
Scene 12: Game room
Coco: Oh darn! Where's Oxide?
Aku: He's hiding somewhere in this castle but where?
Crash: Maybe he's in this dark room. Come on!
So they hurried in...
Tiny: I can't see a thing!
Papu: Papu can't see too!
Then they heard Oxide's voice…
Oxide: Soooo... you decided to enter my game room? Good luck!
Pinstripe: Hey! We're not here for some stupid games!!
In a flash, they saw themselves in a very large room. It was dusty and full of roaches.
Crash: I guess this is the game room.
Aku: There's a door at the end! Let's go!
They hurried to the end of the hall. They all pitched in to open the dinosaur-sized door but it wouldn't open. Suddenly, Oxide's voice popped out again.
Oxide: You cannot open the door until you have earned 4 keys. They can be obtained from the other 4 rooms on the left. You cannot obtain them by not winning each corresponding games...
Pinstripe: I told ya WE ARE NOT HERE TO PLAY GAMES!!!!!
Tawna: Well if we have to beat Oxide, we gotta get those keys!!
Crash: Come on! There’s the 4 doors Oxide's babbling about!
Without wasting a time, they hurried to the 1st door. They slid down a very steep path and reached a room with spikes below and 30 bottles.
Crash: Now what?
Aku: It says on the wall that you have to sharp shoot all 30 targets in 20 seconds. If you don't you will fall in the spike...
Tawna: (panics) SHOOT THE BOTTLES BEFORE WE DIE!!!!!!!!!
Dingo took out his flamethrower, Pinstripe prepared his Uzi and Crash took out his bazooka. They all shoot the targets as fast as they could. But upon shooting 22, they were starting to get frustrated.
Dingo: It's hard to sharp shoot the remaining 8 ones. They're at the very top!!
Coco: Ya gotta keep trying!!!
Finally when 3 seconds where remaining, they shot 7 targets. Only 1 is left.
Tawna: Shoot it before we...
Too Late! They were falling down. The spikes came closer. Luckily, Crash was able to hit it before they even dropped on the spikes. The spikes retracted and they dropped down safely.
Tawna: That was close!!
Aku: Hey look! It's the 1st key!
Aku grabbed it!!!!
Cortex: Look! Tunnel! Maybe it's the way out!!

Scene 13: Game room (revisited)
The gang entered the tunnel and found themselves back in the game room. They entered the 2nd door. They found themselves in a room. The walls were covered by holes. To their left was an inscription. Aku read it.
Aku: To get the key, you must get the silver ball that will be sent flying through the air after you have activated this switch. You must find this very small ball while battling in TOTAL DARKNESS! This is under time pressure. The time is 5 minutes. If you don't get it after the needed time, fire will be sent out from the holes and you will....
Tawna: DIE!!! Oh! Why is there always a time pressure?
Aku: Well, should I push this switch?
Crash: Yup!!
Aku pushed the switch. Before they know it, the lights went out!!! And the game begins... For the first 2 minutes, they haven't caught sight of the silver ball. Until...
Crash: OOH! I found the ball!!!!!
Coco: You did??
But Alas!! It was just a mirage!!
Crash: Darn!!!
The next 2 minutes were pretty dumb. They couldn't catch sight of the ball.
Pinstripe: Howdya know if you caught it? We can't even see each other!!!
Aku: Silver can be seen in darkness. It shines!
Coco: Cut the chatter!! We got only a minute left!!
30 seconds passed. They were getting hopeless. Meanwhile... Tiny saw a glowing thing coming through him. He immediately grabbed it and… the lights got back on!!! Tiny saw the silver ball on his head!!!
Tiny: I caught it!!!
Dingo: Well done, myte!!
Cortex: Look! A trapdoor opened!! And there's the key!!!
They all hurried on the room. Cortex grabbed it. Then, the holes in the room fell off and were replaced by caskets??
Tawna: Does this mean we have to go back to the place where we enter? What are those caskets doing?
Crash: We gotta run fast. I see there are mummies in the caskets.
They run fast as they could, trying to avoid the mummies who came to life!!! A mummy grabbed Dingo at the foot but blasted it with his flamethrower. They got out of the 2nd door.

Scene 14: Game room (Again?)
After getting out of the 2nd door, they hurried to the 3rd. A big statue welcomed their faces as they made way to the room. There is a note pinned in the statue. Again, Crash's sidekick read it.
Aku: Guess the answer to my riddle and the key is yours. You have 3 chances. If you did not get the correct answer in 3 sentences, you will be fed to the fire beast behind this statue. The riddle is:
"What walks 4 in the morning, 2 in the noon and 3 at night?"
Dingo: Well, why don't you try, Cortex?
Cortex: Me?
Dingo: You're the smartest!!
Cortex: Ok! Uh... Lesee... The answer is a 9-legged robot!!!
Statue: Wrong!! 2 more choices!!
Crash: Uh... Is it a mentally retarded Kangaroo??
Statue: No!!!! One wrong choice and you will be fed to the fire beast!!
Aku: Let me try!!! Hmmmm... (pauses for a couple of secs) Aaah!! A human!!
Crash: Human? Get real!!! We're gonna get eaten.
Aku: No, i mean it! In the early stage, Babies have to crawl on their hands and feet. That makes 4. Then, when they knew how to walk, they use 2. And when they get old, they use their feet and a cane. That makes 3!!
Statue: Excellent!!(Handing the key!!) Keep the key!!
The gang exit the 3rd door and headed to the 4th. They entered the 4th door and they saw the key. That's it. That's all they saw.
Crash: C'mon, let's grab it!!!!!
Tawna: Now, Crash, we do not know if there is a trap!!
Coco: I don't think there is a trap.
Pinstripe: Just to be sure, get the key using my tommy gun. There might be a trap in the floor.
Pura: Meow!!
Crash grabbed the key by Pinstripe's gun. He got it!! No Trap!!! Before they could even escape, the door slammed shut! The walls began moving, trying to seal them to death!!!
Tawna: What should we do? We're gonna get flattened!
The walls were beginning to compress. Everyone panicked and became sweaty.
Crash: What the heck are we gonna do??
Tawna: Don't ask me!
Meanwhile, Pura eagerly dug a hole.
Pura: Meow!!
Aku: Look! Pura dug a hole! Let's get in!! We'll be safe for a moment
They tried to jump in the hole but they were too many to fit.
Crash: Leave this to me.
Crash used his death tornado spin to dig more holes. In seconds, he was able to dig a hole 10 feet low!!
Cortex: Come on!!
The walls touched themselves and there was loud crashing sound. The walls were destroyed!!
Coco: Let's go to the exit! The walls were destroyed.
They hurried outside the hole and into the door with the 4 receptacles. Aku inserted the 4 keys and... It opened... They saw Iron Oxide!!!!!
Oxide: So, you did it!!! But let's see you beat me!!!
Crash: We're gonna finish this, mon ami!!
Oxide: Wanna bet??
Oxide pointed a finger to Coco and Tawna and used telekinesis and knocked them both out cold.
Crash: They’re my friends!!! Why you...
Crash used his fireball and it slammed in Oxide's face. But it seem that he wasn't hurt.
Oxide: Is that all???
Oxide countered it with an optic blast!!! It hit Crash and sent him flying through the walls. He was out cold. Then, Oxide turned to our other heroes…
Oxide: Who's next!!
Aku: You'll pay for this!!
Aku created a huge swirling vortex and send it to Oxide but Oxide just turned his finger to Aku and the vortex returned to our sidekick. It knocked Aku.
Cortex: Try this!!
Cortex pulled out his de-evolvo ray and hit Oxide but Oxide used his psychic powers and the de-evolvo ray hit Pura instead!! Cortex then, throw mines at him but it sill no good. Oxide created his own mine and whirled it straight to Cortex who felt groggy and collapsed. Dingo tried to use flamethrower on him but Oxide threw cold ice that froze the flame and Dingo himself!! Pinstripe was about to shoot Oxide when Oxide spit fire and hit him. Tiny pounced on him and so did Papu. But Oxide was so strong that he lifted them up by a hand and threw them to a pillar. Meanwhile from behind, Crash was getting up. He shot many fireballs from Oxide's back. At last, Oxide was knocked down!! But he quickly got up and looked at Crash. He used his telekinesis and slammed Crash at the ceiling 4 times and dropped him down. Then, Coco decided to hit Oxide with a block but he didn't even flinch. He looked at Coco and choked her!!
Oxide: You want to fight me, girl??
Coco: (choking) Ya... not gana erk... oww. Get away… awww…
Oxide: Then, Prepare to die!!
Coco began to spit blood. Meanwhile, Crash saw the happening. He couldn't believe it. Oxide was killing his own flesh and blood!! He was about to shoot him again but, he glanced at the far corner and saw a familiar thing. It was the sword of Semerkhet!! He quickly grabbed it and slashed Oxide!!! There was a loud and scream and Oxide disappeared. Oxide was dead!! But, the explosion was so strong the fortress was shaking and beginning to crumble down on the gang!! Crash was very dizzy.
Crash: Coco, GO!! If you don't we'll all be trapped!! The castle is crumbling down on us!!
Coco: NO!!! I won't leave you here and the others to die!! If you guys would die, I want to be with you!!!
Crash: Coco, Get out before...
BUT, TOO LATE!! THE CASTLE CRUMBLED DOWN AND THE GANG WAS TRAPPED INSIDE!!! WE DO NOT KNOW IF THEY ARE DEAD, BUT THEY WERE TRAPPED.
WELL, THAT'S IT. IT'S THE END. YUP, END. THE GANG WAS ABLE TO SAVE EARTH BUT NOT THEMSELVES!
REMEMBER, THIS IS JUST A STORY. THIS IS JUST FOR FUN.
