CORTEX'S PARROT

(It is late afternoon at Cortex Castle. Dr. Neo Cortex was finishing the last few touches on his latest invention.)

Dr. Cortex: It just needs a turn here and... (screws in the last bolt)...PERFECT!!! (Holds up the invention, which is in the shadows for now) With this little gem, I will not be taunted by anybody anymore!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHA...(hack, cough) Ah, forget it, I'll continue to gloat tomorrow...

(The next morning, some birds were perched on a nearby window sill, chirping as happy as can be)

Bluebird: tweet tweet tweet!!
Pigeon: A coo coo coo!!!

(Then, a sinister laugh echoes from within the Lab to the window the birds are by)

Cortex: MUAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!

(The two birds fly off, startled. In the Lab, the invention perched on the table is a green metal parrot with orange and red wings and a canary orange beak)

Cortex: Cortex, my man, you are indeeed, a true GENIUS!!!
Parrot: Cortex, my man, you are indeed, a true GENIUS!!!
Cortex: At last, I have finally created a invention who I can relate to!!! Oh, if only I have thought about this idea in the first place, that way, I don't have to bother spending time with my minions, who seem to be stupid, self conceited, jerks!!
Parrot: Stupid jerks!
Cortex: Exactly!

(Then Tiny and Dingodile barge in the lab!)

Tiny: Tiny wanna see Porta-Potty Museum!!
Dingodile: Not right now mate! Let me borrow some money and then we go to the museum! HEY CORTEX!!!
Cortex: (now rudely interrupted from his conversation with his parrot) WHAT!!??
Dingodile: Well boss, I was wondering if you could give us a couple bucks to...
Tiny: Go to Porta-Potty Museum!!
Cortex: (annoyed) Oh, sure, whatever it takes to get you off of my back! (hands Dingodile a 20) Knock yourself out.
Dingodile: OH TINY!!! We can go to the Museum!!
Tiny: YAAAYYY!!!!! (Tiny and Dingodile leave the lab)
Cortex: Finally, I can get some work done.
Parrot: Hey!!
Cortex: What?
Parrot: Get some work done.
Cortex Say What?
Parrot: Cortex is a stupid jerk!
Cortex: No, No No, say, "Cortex is the brilliant gentleman in all of the world"
Parrot: Cortex is a Porta-Potty!
Cortex: No, I am not a Porta-potty!
Parrot: Cortex is a Porta-Potty!
Cortex: I'm not!!!
Parrot: Are you a Porta-Potty? ( ortex whacks the parrot against the table) Knock yourself stupid (Cortex whacks him again) Potty (again) Pot..(and again) Pot (and again) Pot(and again - this goes on for a little while)

(A little while later...)

Cortex: Stupid parrot! That had to be one of my worst inventions yet!

(The parrot flies off to N. Gin's Lab. N. Gin is writing a few notes, love notes to be exact!)

N. Gin: Hmm... I got it! ( starts writing in his journal, the parrot spying on him)
Coco, my love, the girl of my dreams,
Why must you see me, doing evil schemes?
You are like an angel, who has fallen from heaven,
If you were a number, you'd be a lucky seven!
A day without you would be but a sin,
Please, Coco, marry me, your groom-to-be, Dr. N. Gin!


(The parrot hears all of what N. Gin wrote)

Parrot: Coco, My love! BRAWWKK!! Coco, my love!
N. Gin: (turns his back for a moment, but the parrot already left the lab) What? I hope no one read my love poem!! Oh well, I can lock it up so they won't even think about touching my story! Aaaahhh... Coco...
Parrot: (flying) BRRAWWWKK Coco, my love, aaahhhh... Porta-Potty, Tiny go potty...

(The robot parrot flies into Dr. N Tropy's warp room. Now, the parrot is flapping all the way to the Time Twister, blabbing along as he flaps his little manufactured wings there)

Parrot: Coco, my love, ahhh, Porta-potty!

(In the Time Twister, Dr. N. Tropy was checking to see if the Time Twister is at optimum efficiency)

N. Tropy: Hmmm... Seems to be in perfect order...
Parrot: (hiding) BRAWK!!

N. Tropy: Huh? What was that? (Turns around for a minute, then shrugs his shoulders and gets back to his work)
Parrot: BRAWWWWK!!
N. Tropy: What? (turns around to see the parrot, sitting on the floor) Where did you come from?
Parrot: BRAWWWK!! The porta-potty museum!
N. Tropy: Right... Well, this is my work station, and I don't need you peeking on my top secret planning, so I suggest you leave.
Parrot: Why don't you knock yourself out?
N. Tropy: OK, Maybe you didn't heed my warning, I want you to leave, and I want you to do it NOW!! I'm giving you the count of 3, 1...
Parrot: Potty...
N. Tropy: 2...
Parrot: BRAWK!! Coco, aahhhhh...
N. Tropy: 3!! (Notices the parrot is still here) You're still here!? Oh, well...(Picks up his staff) I guess we have to do this the... HARD WAY! Any last words!?
Parrot: You are a stupid jerk!!
N. Tropy: WHAT!!? No one dares defy the GRAND TROPY-SAMA!!!! NOW FEEL MY WRATH!!! (charges his staff, then fires an energy blast at the parrot, but the parrot was sucked in a warp orb before it hit , and the blast went straight out of the Time Twister and at Dr. N. Brio!)
N. Brio: (now charcoal black) I... feel... c-c-crispy...(falls down)

(Well, the parrot falls out of the warp orb and into the ocean. Then, it gets washed up on the shore)

Parrot: (lying down on its side) Knock the museum out...

(Then, a purple kangaroo with a lime green tank top, blue baggy jeans, and teal and magenta anime-style hair comes walking along. She notices the parrot and picks it up)

Rockie: What's this? I don't remember seeing this here before.

Then, a brown dingo with black curly hair, wearing a white sleeveless top with a denim skirt comes running along)
Jen: Hey! What's that? ( points to the mechanical parrot)
Rockie: Oh, this? It's just something I picked up on the beach. Do you want it?
Jen: Uh... Let's give it to Norville! He's into scientific stuff, and maybe he can figure where that bird came from!!

(So Rockie and Jen run over through the forest to find Norville)

Bluebird: Tweet tweet tweet!
Bluebird: A coo coo coo!
Cortex: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

(Birds fly away scared again)

Cortex: Where can he be? I left him an hour ago, and now, he's GONE!!!!

(Cortex pulls the switch on an alarm , and it goes off, signaling the others. At the Grand Hall...)

Cortex: You probably don't know why I signaled you, but my parrot seems to have left the building.
Dingodile: Good riddance! You seem to spend a lot o' time with that bird!
N. Tropy: Well, that's why you aren't on schedule! Because you were tinkering with that mechanical parrot all day long!!
Cortex: Let's create a search party!!! N. Gin, you come along with me!
N. Gin: But... but....
Cortex: Do you want to get rid of the stupid bandicoots?
N. Gin: Well... (thinks about Coco) Okay!!!

(So, Cortex and N. Gin leave on two of the hi tech vehicles and blast off to find the parrot)

N. Gin: WAIT!!! I forgot which are we going in...
Cortex: *sigh* We take the Hovertanks, N. Gin.
N. Gin: Ok.

(So they enter two separate tanks, which have rocket jets on the bottom, and head off to fine the bird. Back at the castle)

Tiny: Wanna hear a song Tiny learned?
Everyone else: Oh, brother...

(Meanwhile, back at the Jungle near N. Sanity Beach...)

Jen: I know Norville's place has got to be around somewhere...(spots a hut) Oh, there it is!
Rockie: So, what are we doing again?
Jen: We're going to ask Norville to figure out some stuff about the parrot we found.

(Jen and Rockie stop at the hut)

Jen: We know how Norville is so busy, so, I decided to call him a special way!
Rockie: I don't even want to know...
Jen: Shh... I'm about to do it... (she sees Norville reading his books) HEY NORVIE!!!!!

Norville: AAAIIIEEE!!!! (jumps through the roof and falls back on the chair with the current open book he is reading fall on his head ) Jen, how many times I have told you, not to interrupt me while I am reading, and please, don't call me Norvie, I'm a little embarrassed when you call me that.
Jen: Well, anyway... (hands the parrot over to Norville) I found this washed up on the beach. I figured you were into scientific stuff, so I wanted to give this to you!
Norville: Oh, thanks, how nice... well let's take a look-see, shall we? ( examines the parrot) I've figured it out!
Jen: Yes!!!
Rockie: Then tell us, Norv, what?
Norville: I...
Jen: Yes?
Norville: ...have no idea.
Jen and Rockie: WWWHHHAAAATTT!!!!!???
Jen: But I thought you were good with technological stuff!
Norville: I am, but this is modern technology, and since I am restricted to old, antique references, I cannot figure it out.
Jen: ( scratching her head) Say what?
(Then a mysterious, cat-eared figure appears in the shadows outside Norville's hut)
???: It means... he needs someone with a computer to help him... (The figure comes into the house revealing herself to be, yup, that's right... Kitana Caracal!)
Norville: Kitana? ... I thought you were goofing off in the forest!
Kitana: I was, if you call exploring goofing off... now how could I help you?
Jen: He needs someone with a computer!
Kitana: A computer, eh? Well I know someone who can help. Follow me! ( runs off into the forest)
Jen: Wait up! ( runs into the forest too)
Rockie: Norville, you don't want to keep Kitana waiting, would you?
Norville: But, I want to stay here!
Rockie:... Well, at least let me carry you over there, since you're short.
Norville: That's fine, but let me inform you that I am not short, but vertically challenged in height.
Rockie:...whatever... ( picks up Norville and follows the others )

(Meanwhile, in another part of the forest, Cortex and N. Gin are in their hovertanks, searching for the parrot.)

N. Gin: What if Crash's friends see us?
Cortex: They won't... because I have installed an invention that will render us unseen, and them befuddled, with my patented Cloaking Device! ( he presses a blue button, and his hovertank is invisible) Well, N. Gin, aren't you going to turn yours on?
N. Gin: Erm... Okay! ( presses his blue button and now, Cortex's and N. Gins Hovertanks are well camouflaged, well, almost)

Cortex: ( looks at N. Gin's Hovertank, which now looks like a giant pinata, then shakes his head) N. Gin, I don't know what's gotten into you...

(Kitana and the others dash through the forest, and eventually find Crash and Coco's hut.)

Kitana: Well, here it is!
Jen: Wow, I never would have guessed... Let's ask go ask Coco!!!
Norville: Do you really think she could help?
Kitana: Trust me...

(Coco comes out of the hut)

Coco: Hi! What are you here for?

Jen: We found this robot bird along the shore...(holds out the parrot) and we were wondering if you could figure out some thingies about it!
Coco: Sure, I'll be happy to! Follow me inside.

(So Jen, Kitana, Rockie along with Norville, go inside the hut. Coco then inserts a wire into the parrot)

Coco: I'll transfer some of the data into my laptop, and see where exactly this mechanical bird came from. (She types in a few key commands, and after a few seconds, the answer is revealed) Hmmm...
Rockie: So?
Coco: I don't believe it...
Kitana: Who is it?
Jen: Tell me, tell me, TELL ME!!!
Rockie: Slow down, Hyper Girl.
Coco: It came from Dr. Cortex.
Kitana: Well, what would a genius like him, do with a lame brain parrot like this? Does it have a spy camera, or any hi-tech gizmos attached?
Coco: (opens the robot parrot's back plate and notices a disc) Why don't we use this CD and find out...(places the CD in her laptop, and...) I don't believe it...
Kitana: What, you've found any secret codes?
Norville: A time bomb? Or a nuclear virus?
Coco: No, all I found is nothing...
Norville: WHAT!!?? Then what would Dr. Cortex do with a parrot witrh no motives whatsoever?
Coco: I don't know, but let's leave and explore N. Sanity Beach for more evidence?
Rockie: That would be a really great idea, let's do it.

(So Coco and the others leave, but little did they know what would happen if the parrot was left unattended...)

Crash: (enters the hut) *Yawn* boy, I slept like a rock, Hey Coco! (no answer) I guess she went studying insects...(notices the parrot) Hello...what's this... It must be a...BRAND NEW CD PLAYER!! I guess Coco wanted to give it to me as a gift! Let's try it out...(pops in a CD called Greatest Funky Dance Beats into the parrot, then he takes off the wire attached to the parrot, and puts the back plate on it)
Parrot: (starts to rumble and spark)
Crash: Ooh, I can't wait...

(Then a big boom is heard from the hut at N. Sanity beach)

Coco: What was that!?

(Well, after the smoke clears, Crash notices something different, sort of...)

Crash: I guess I shouldn't have put the disc in too hard...

Parrot: Yo, yo yo YO!

(The back smoke clears, revealing the parrot, only this time, he's wearing a backwards baseball cap, some chains and a pair of shades to go with it.)

Crash: Then again, I must be lucky that I did, because I finally made someone cool! Hey, parrot-dude, what's up?
Parrot: Me, 'cuz I'm MC DJ Funky Feathaz!! And I'm here to get down! (starts to spin and dance for a moment, with some tunes playing)
Crash: Whoa! He's just like me! I gotta tell Coco and the others!

(Well, Coco and the others were rushing back over to the house)

Norville: What just happened?
Coco: I don't know, but judging by that explosion, I don't think it's good!
Kitana: Umm... did you by any chance, leave the bird unattended?
Coco: Oh, how could I forget? If Crash got a hold of it, who knows what he would do? Believe me, he definitely isn't a rocket scientist!
Rockie: Then, I guess we should check it out.

(Meanwhile, in the forest, Cortex and N. Gin were slowly traveling over to the hut, and N. Gin finally got the cloaking device figured out...I think)

Cortex: So, you're saying the parrot might be in this place?
N. Gin: Yep.
Cortex: And we can take it by surprise without anyone noticing?
N. Gin: Yep.
Cortex: (more excited than last time) And we can finally have a mission accomplished?
N. Gin: That's about the size of it.
Cortex: WOOHOO!!! Let's do it! (looks through a pair of binoculars) Well... N. Gin, you were right, except for one thing...
N. Gin: What?
Cortex: HOW COME CRASH BANDICOOT IS HERE AND YOU SAID HE WASN'T!!!??? HAVE YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSONS TRIED TO SABOTAGE THE HOVERTANKS SO THE HEAT SENSORS WON'T WORK!!???
N. Gin: Hmm... not that I know of... let me think about it...( starts thinking)

*<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>*

(In Cortex Casle Hangar. One of the hovertanks was moving out of control)

Tiny: (Who was flying the hovertank) YAAAY!!! WWWOOP WOOP BEEP BEEP!!! Tiny become engineer! CHHHOOOOO CHOOOOOO!!!!

(Tiny stupidly steers into the wall and...)

*CRASH!!!!!!*

(Tiny steps out of the hovertank)

Tiny: This is fun. Tiny bring Tropy and N. Gin next time as driving teachers.

(Tiny walks out of the Hangar, with the machine saying "WARNING! HOVER TANK DAMAGED, SOME MATERIAL MAY NOT WORK..." in the background)

<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

N. Gin: AAAHHHHH!!!!!
Cortex: What!? Don't tell me the heat sensors aren't working!
N. Gin: Yes, but I remembered something even worse!
Cortex: What? What could be worse than this!?
N. Gin: TINY IS GOING TO TAKE N. TROPY AND ME TO TEACH HIM TO DRIVE NEXT TIME!!! AAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!
Cortex: (not convinced)So what?
N. Gin: TINY IS A REALLY BAD DRIVER AND BY THE TIME HE DOES KNOW TO DRIVE...which will probably take a long time to do it... I WILL BE IN THE EMERGENCY WARD!!!!
Cortex: Well, we can't just babble on all day about driving! Let's get the parrot!
N. Gin: But Crash will notice us!
Cortex: Ah, but that is where you're wrong. *hops out of the Hovertank into the bushes* Do you have a trunk in your Hovertank?
N. Gin: Well I don't... *spots a green trunk* Well as a matter of fact, yes!
Cortex: Then bring it out, I have an idea what we can do with the items inside that trunk!
N. Gin: Well, okay... *hops out of the hovertank carrying the trunk* So what are we going to do?
Cortex: You'll see...

(Crash was busy dancing with his new "friend", when all of a sudden, he hears a knock)

Crash: Ok, I'll get it! MC DJ Double-F, you wait here!
MC DJ Funky Feathaz ( ah gee, his name is too long, so I'll shorten it to MDFF): Yo!

(Crash opens the door and he sees a man with a blue pinstipe suit, with shades and a fedora to go with it)
Man in suit: Excuse me, young man, or bandicoot. I am but a gadget inspector, here to see your mechanical toy.
Crash: Toy? What toy? I just have a friend who's with me for the night.
Man in Suit: Gadget inspector? What was I saying, I'm just here to get a pet!
Crash: Well, why didn't you say so? Come in, I'll try and get you a pet...er...something...

(Then a pudgy man in a red suit with a fedora tipped to the side of his head rushes to the other man)

Pudgy man: *whispering*Dr. Cortex, what are you THINKING!?
Man in suit (Dr. Cortex):*whispering* I'm just doing it in a way that we won't get hurt. Is there any problem with it, N. Gin?
Pudgy man (N. Gin): Ah...no.

(Well, Cortex and N. Gin were waiting patiently for the parrot, sort of...)

N. Gin:... WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG!?
Cortex: *puts a hand over N. Gin's mouth* N. Gin!
Crash: What?
Cortex: Oh, pardon me, my business partner is a bit jumpy. He had one too many chocolate sundaes, and you know what that can do to you!
Crash: Oh, yeah, I understand that...once I ate a whole box of Ovaltine and I...
Cortex: *interrupting* Oh, I really would love to hear your nice little story, but could you get your parrot here? My partner is so anxious because... he has a soft spot for birds!
N. Gin: WHAT!? I never *gets muffled again*
Cortex: Uh... heh heh heh, please hurry up, okay?
Crash: What parrot? * thinks* Oh, you mean Mr. Double F? Okay, I'll get him! *rushes to a tree to get the parrot*
Cortex: *lets go of N. Gin's mouth* See, N. Gin? What did I tell you? It's like taking candy from a baby!
N. Gin: Well, I don't know, Dr. Cortex... that was a little too easy...
Cortex: Nonsense, N. Gin... this is our best plan yet! As soon as we get the parrot, we just run on back, and voila! Mission accomplished!

(Crash comes back, with the parrot in his hands)

Cortex: *takes a look at the parrot* Hmm... I don't remember seeing it like that? Say something.
MDFF: *sits silently*
Cortex: Come on! I don't have all day!
N. Gin: *whispering* Maybe it's busted...
Cortex: No, it can't be busted! It's the most experienced mach...*sees Crash* I mean bird I've known about, *turns to the parrot* so say something already!
MDFF: *no response*
Cortex: I'm not asking you again!
MDFF: *no response*
Cortex: ...Well?
MDFF: ... Yo, yo YO! Word up, my homies!
Cortex: WHAT THE HECK!!??
N. Gin: Eeee...!!!
Crash: You see, I taught him to be cool, like me! What do you think?
Cortex: I, I... *faints*

N. Gin: Oh, my... *runs over to Cortex and fans him* There there, it will be all right...

Cortex: *gains consciousness and shoves N. Gin over* Get off me I don't need your help! *walks up to the parrot* All, right bird you got a lot of explaining to do!
MDFF: Yo, don't be callin' me bird, yo! I'm MC DJ Funky Feathaz, and I'm here to lay some tunes on ya! *moon walks and spins* Oh yeah!
Cortex: Oh, crud, I think he's infected...
N. Gin: Umm... hey parrot, what's up?
MDFF: Me, you yuppies! Whoa, holey guacamole! * spins again*

(All of a sudden, Coco, and the rest of the crew return to where Crash is)

Crash: Coco! I'm so glad to see you! Why'd you come back so soon?
Coco: Jen just stepped on a thorn, and we had to return here for first aid. * points over to Jen, Rockie, Norville and Kitana, with Jen, howling in pain)
Jen: Owwie, owie, Owie!
Kitana: Relax, Jen, I'm sure we can take it out!
Jen: But what if it hurts even more?...OWWW!!!
Rockie: I can handle this...*holds Jen's leg still and gently pulls the thorn from her foot* There, all done.
Jen: *sniff* Hey, I didn't feel a thing and my foot stopped hurting! Thanks, Rockie!
Rockie: Don't mention it.

(then the parrot flies up on top of a tree)

MDFF: Run and climb as fast as ya can, ya can't catch me, I'm MC DJ Funky Feathaz, man!
Coco: For a parrot, his poetry sure is irrational.
Kitana: Yeah, it ranks!
Crash: Aw, what are you talking about? He's the coolest thing ever!
Coco: Which reminds me... Crash, have you by any chance, put one of your discs in it?
Crash: Ur, yeah, I thought he was a CD player, but it was pretty cool when he turned into a rapper when I did.
Jen: Hey MC DJ What-so-ever!!
MDFF: *on top of the tree* 'sup!
Jen: Can you get down?
MDFF: Oh yeah! I can do that!
Jen: See, Rockie? He's going to come down!
Rockie: Well, I don't know...
MDFF: *starts to put his foot down, but then he takes a huge spin and ...raps!?* I like big butts and I cannot lie, You other brothers can't deny...
Cortex: OH MY GAZPACHOS!!!
N. Gin: What is it... * looks at the parrots show* Eeee...
Coco: Crash, you thought the bird was a CD player!?
Crash: Hey, don't look at me! How should I know if the bird was used by you? See, he's already feeling better, we don't need to get an antivirus!
MDFF: Shake it, shake it, shake those healthy butts!
Jen: Hey, who are those guys? *points to Cortex and N. Gin*
Crash: They're just local businessmen looking for a pet. *sees N. Gin and Cortex's hat blow away revealing themselves their true identity* Ok, so they're not local businessmen, they're ...* looks at Cortex and N. Gin* Cortex and N. Gin!?
Cortex: You finally caught up... Hmph, unfortunately, I'm not after you.
Crash: You're not?
Cortex: I wanted my parrot back.
Crash: YOUR parrot? I believe he's my friend, now, 'cuz I found him.
Cortex: I'm not going to steal it now, because he's been tampered with!
Crash: And your point?
Cortex: I'm going to DESTROY HIM!!!! HA HA HA HA HA!!!
Crash: But he's my best friend I ever had! And the coolest one too! I don't wanna lose him!
MDFF: My anaconda don't want none unless you've got buns hon! *stops*
Coco: So Kitana, do you have any plans?
Kitana: Well, you can remove the disc and turn it back into a mindless bird robot again.
Coco: Well, you're right, it will revert to normal once we do, but *sees Crash crying* It'll break poor Crash's heart if we do!
Kitana: Why not send him to Hollywood?
Coco: That's a good plan too. But how can Crash and the parrot keep in touch with each other?
Kitana: Writing letters.
Coco: Wait, how about via the Internet? That's faster!
Kitana: So we have a plan... get ready...
Cortex: *he's holding a bazooka dressed up as Rambo* Heh heh, heh...
N. Gin: Now you're taking it too far, Dr. Cortex! You need bed rest!
Cortex: Do not interrupt me, N. Gin. I...will... destroy that parrot... *aims at MDFF* HASTA LA VISTA BIRDY!!!!*

(Cortex fires a shot at the parrot, but the parrot is knocked off the tree, and falls into a box before he gets hit)

Coco: Now Crash!

Crash: See ya! and don't forget to write! * spin Kicks the box, and it flies up into the sky*

(Meanwhile)

Cortex: *down on his knees, panting* I ... almost had him!
N. Gin: Don't worry, at least we weren't hurt really badly by Crash!
Cortex: That's another thing, how come you didn't tell me to shoot Crash!!?
N. Gin: Well, you can shoot him now, if it makes you happy!
Cortex: I'm out of Ammo, you DOLT!!! I cant hit him without ammunition! Let's leave.
N. Gin: Ok.

*So they enter one of the hovertanks and blast off*

(inside)

Cortex: All that work for nothing...
N. Gin: At least we didn't get hurt!
Cortex We're at the castle, land now!
N. Gin: Uh oh...
Cortex: NOW WHAT!?
N. Gin: The breaks are stuck.
Cortex: So there was more than the heat sensors that were broken, eh?
N. Gin: yep.

(Cortex and N. Gin are silent for a while, then they scream alot as they crash through the Castle walls.)
