Crash Bandicoot FurEver, Ch. 11

Chapter 11: Wumpa Island War


As the Resistance's battle against the evil Superhumans wages on, Linzay the goat & Xavier the Capuchin monkey try to escort Crash of the present to his sister.

Linzay: "Wait, stop!"

Linzay stops Crash & Xavier as a Superhuman soldier gets knocked through by Future Crunch's metal-arm. The soldier gets out of the way & crashes into a small group of other soldiers.

Future Crunch: "STTEEERRRIIKE!!"

Crash: "Ooooo! He's definitely out!"

Xavier: "Those are five less Superhuman scums to deal with."

Linzay: "C'mon, you two, we can sight-see while we continue movin'!"

The trio continues on their path.

Crash: "My sister's house is just across that small river."

Xavier: "We know. We're not just going to her house..."

Crash: "Huh?"

Linzay: "Oh, you're gonna flip when you see what she's been up to in the last few years! You think the Doominator was put to good use, just wait until you see her new *whispers* underground lair!"

Crash: "Wwwhaaaat?"

While Linzay & Xavier guide present Crash through the battlegrounds & crossfire, Future Crash is busy blasting his enemies with his bazooka.

Future Crash: "Boom, baby!"

Then he sees Jade getting manhandled by two muscular Superhuman soldiers. She struggles to get free.

Future Jade: "GRRRR!! Let go of me, you bruty-jerks!"

Superhuman #1: "We're gonna rip you apart, pussycat!"

Superhuman #2: "Say goodbye to all nine of your lives!"

Future Crash: "Don't worry, Jade! I gotcha!"

He prepares to fire.

Future Jade: "I am so tired of all these cliché cat-puns!"

Her anger boils over & begins to struggle free of the Superhumans' grasp.

Future Jade: "I. AM. A TIGER!!"

Jade tail-whips both soldiers in their (Oh mah guhds) & breaks free of their hold, then...

*RRRAAAWWWRR*

...she lets out a powerful roar! In fact, so powerful that Present Crash hears it from the distance.

Crash: "Who was that?"

Linzay: "Oh, that was Jade, your ex-girlfriend."

Crash: "Did ya have to say- wait WHAT?"

Clearly hearing a roar like that from Jade is a first for him as he never heard this from her before. Even Future Crash is surprised, & he's been hearing it for years now!

Crash & Future Crash: "Woah."

Future Crash shoots two Wumpa Fruits at the heads of the soldiers, knocking them out. Then he rushes over to Jade to see if she's alright.

Future Crash: "Hey, you okay?"

She looks at him straight-faced & replies in such an annoyed way.

Future Jade: "I'm fine."

Future Crash: "Look, I wanna talk about the whole thing between me & Eli-"

Future Jade: "You don't need to explain anything to me right now. Right now you need to help this Resistance win against Brio & his hateful creeps."

Future Crash: "I know, but-"

An explosion comes from the top of Crash's house, which is where the Wyatt's Soaring-Soldier's Base of Operations reside.

Future Crash: "Uhh, I gotta take care of....yeah." *rushes off*

Future Jade: "*sigh*, good talk."

Brio is seen afloat in the air with a rocket-sled similar to the one Cortex used before he died. He has minions that fly in planes & drop projectiles from above.

Future Brio: "Attack those winged fools, my airborne minions!"

But obviously Wyatt & the Soaring-Soldiers has their own flying members as well, but they'll need some extra muscle.

Future Wyatt: "Yo, Crash! We could use some extra muscle!"

See.

Future Crash: "Gotcha covered! *whistles*, Aku Aku!"

*OOGA-BOOGA*

Aku appears & transforms into a hover-board for Crash to ride on. Meanwhile, Xavier, Linzay & Crash finally reach Coco's house after successfully making it through the crossfire safely.

Crash: "Phew, we made it!"

Linzay: "& oddly I didn't have to use these horns once!"

Conveniently, a Superhuman soldier comes out of nowhere & blocks the trios' path.

Xavier: "Ya just had to mention those things, didn't you?"

Linzay: "Yep. AAARRRRGH!!"

She quickly charges the soldier & knocks him into the water.

Crash: "You said something about an underground lair, how exactly do we get there?"

Linzay: "I don't know. I never bothered before."

Xavier: "Maybe there's some kind of button or verification-thingamajig on her door."

Crash goes to see if this is the case. There's a security-camera on her porch that pops out & gives him a startle.

Camera: "Identification please."

Unsurprisingly, the voice of the camera is from Coco.

Crash: "Of course."

Camera: "Voice recognized: Crash Bandicoot."

The front-door opens & Crash, Linzay, & Xavier walk inside the house, but then something unexpected happens. The floor opens & sends all three of the critters down a hole.

Crash: "WWOOOAAAAHHH!"

Linzay: "OM MY GOOOAAAT!"

Xavier: "OOO-OOO! I LOVE SURPRISES!!"

The hole leads to where Future Coco is: the underground lair. The trio gets up in agony after the bumpy ride down. Future Coco is seen working the main computer, once she hears the thuds of unknown visitors, she quickly turns around in curiosity.

Future Coco: "Ha! Oh, dang it!! I knew I should've added a pool of piranhas!"

She was hoping it would be Superhuman intruders.

Future Coco: "What are you two doing down here?! Isn't their a war that's going on right now?"

Linzay: "Yeah, yeah. We have something, or someone important to show you!"

Crash comes from behind Xavier & Linzay.

Crash: "Coco?"

Future Coco: "C-Crash? You...you look six years younger! How is this possible?"

Crash: "& you look, WOW!!"

Xavier: "Awkward."

Crash: *to himself* "Think about Jade, think about Jade, think about Jade!"

Future Coco: "Something tells me that Dr. N. Tropy has something to do with this. He probably returned & got into a squabble with you & sent you six years in the future, which is now of course."

Crash: "Lemme guess, you grew even more smarter over the years?"

Future Coco: "You could say that.."

Crash: "Well, it turns out that N. Tropy isn't done yet. Remember 1996? He's going back there to stop me from being created, I ain't letting that happen!"

Future Coco: "Well, lucky for you-"

Crash: "You got a time-machine already built for use in a situation like this!"

Future Coco: "How'd you know that?"

Crash: "Hey, I can be smart, too."

Xavier: "Actually, Aku Aku told-"

Crash covers the monkey's mouth to keep from telling the truth.

Future Coco: "Ooookay."

Crash: "Man, this future is insane, Coco. I wish I could stay & help, but if I don't go back & stop N. Tropy from erasing me from time, then I'd probably won't be here to lead you guys in this resistance. & plus, I am kinda already helping if you think about it!"

Linzay: "Well said, better to correct a wrong for a better tomorrow."

Xavier: "I wanted to say that!"

Linzay: "Too late."

Future Coco shows Crash the time-machine by taking the cover off of it.

Future Coco: "Okay. Setting the date coordinates for August 31st, 1996!"

It activates & opens a warp-portal.

Linzay: "Hey, Crash, when you get back there, you think you could look for me while you're at it? My horns were probably shorter because, you know."

Xavier: "He's got more important matters to attend to!"

Crash: "Were they always like this?"

Future Coco: "*sigh*, yep. Well, it was nice seeing my big brother six years younger again. If something like this ever happens again, please come with BOTH shoes on! Here..."

She gives him a spare six-year-old, dug up left shoe. Oh yeah, he was still barefoot on the left-side since Chapter 4. Crash puts the shoe on & takes a deep breath before entering the time-machine.

Crash: "Alright, here I g-"

Suddenly, a scream comes from upstairs in Coco's house. Coco realizes who it is.

Future Coco: "Oh no! Sarah!"

Crash: "Who's Sarah?"

Future Coco: "She's a former Superhuman spy. She had a change of heart & joined our cause. Now she helps get intel from N. Brio. SOMEONE'S ATTACKING HER!!"

Crash: "I gotta go help her, then!"

Linzay: "WAIT!"

Xavier: "What about N. Tropy, man!"

Crash runs off & goes back above ground to go & help Sarah, dropping his original plans to go back in time.

This may have been a bad move on his part...
