Crash Bandicoot FurEver, Ch. 19

Chapter 19: Furricane Crash



"He is worthy."

"It is time to bestow our gift to him."

"His death shall be his resurrection."

"In the midst of the rise of a greater evil, he will be granted special powers with the guidance of our eternal friend, Aku Aku."

"An evil much greater than ever before is coming."

"It is time."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In present time, a victorious Dr. Neo Cortex is prepared to make a statement to the inhabitants of Wumpa Island.

Cortex: "Residents of this fine jungle-filled landscape, I have finally done the impossible: I have permanently taken out your hero, my longtime arch-enemy Crash Bandicoot!"

Crash's friends are unable to do anything to stop Cortex for what he's done. Coco is still very hurt inside & crying, with Jade holding her tight while beside Crash. Crunch is too angry to be beside, his attitude shows that he's ready to kill anything that tries to come close to him. Wyatt sits on the grass in a frozen state.

Cortex: "Do not fret, for this is a good thing! This is the start of a new era, & the world is deserving of a new hero. I will be that new hero: Better, smarter, I'm basically your only Savior now, hahaha."

Jade: "YOU SHUT YOUR FACE YOU MURDEROUS JERK!!"

Jade's anger gets the best of her, causing her to lunge at Cortex.

Cortex: "Come on..."

Coco: "Jade, NO!!"

*ZAP*

Jade: "AAHH!"

N. Trap blasts Jade & knocks her back to the ground.

N. Trap: "Worry not, Jade. You will be reunited with your love soon enough."

Jade: "Grrrr."

She points her gun at a injured Jade. As she looks at what could be her final sight of life, something thankfully interrupts.

*BOOM*

N. Trap: "DAAHH!"

She's knocked down by a mysterious blast.

N. Trap: "What is the meaning of- oh no..."

Cortex turns around to see what's happening.

Cortex: "WHAT?!"

Coco & the rest are surprised at what they see. It's Crash, alive & well!

Crash: "Hey. What I miss?"

Crash is seen before everyone alive & in a much more powerful state, thanks to the spirits gifting & watching over him.

Wyatt: "HE'S ALIVE!!"

Coco faints onto the grass, Crunch was too stunned to catch her. Jade almost has a heart attack.

Jade: "Oh my God..."

Uka: "NO! How is this possible? He now possesses the power of the Spirit Gods!"

Aku: "Because he is worthy of that power, Uka Uka. The spirits have watched Crash over the years & seen his many heroic deeds."

Crash: "Gosh, I dunno what all I can do with this power yet, but I'm feeling like hurting a certain evil scientist, BADLY!"

Cortex: "You fool! I don't care how powerful you've become! I'll still end you! AARRGH!"

He fires several blasts from his ray-gun at Crash, who disappears, making Cortex become dumbfounded. Uka Uka scorns at his brother Aku Aku.

Uka: "STOP PROTECTING HIM!"

Aku: "Do not look at me."

Cortex nervously looks around to see where the magical bandicoot went.

Crash: "Yoo-hoo!"

Cortex turns around, only to see a huge energy-blast coming to knock him off his rocket-sled.

Cortex: "AAAAAHHH!!"

He falls into the water.

*SPLASH*

N. Trap: "This cannot be happening."

Crunch, Coco, & Wyatt: "AAAARRRRGH!"

Everyone else attempts to subdue N. Trap all at once.

Crunch: "Aw, yeah! Look who's trapped now!"

N. Trap: "Release me! I- ACHOO! I'm allergic to animals being close to meeeeAAAACHOO!"

Wyatt: "Gesundheit, as they say 'bless-you' in Russia."

Coco: "That's actually German."

Wyatt: "...oh."

As Cortex pulls himself out of the water, Crash walks up to him & grabs him by his lab-coat.

Cortex: "You think just because you were gifted with these new found powers that automatically makes you unstoppable?"

Crash: "Duh."

Cortex: "Wait. What are you doing?"

Crash: "Something I've should've done ten years ago!"

Aku: "NO, CRASH! THAT IS NOT THE HERO WAY!"

Crash: "What? I was just gonna humiliate him in the worst way possible like the old days! Guys, you might wanna take cover."

Crunch grabs Jade & retreats with Wyatt & Coco behind some rocks & bushes

Wyatt: "Ooo, what's he gonna do next?"

Crash: "Yo, Neo. Remember this?"

Using his new powers to the fullest, Crash performs a spin-attack maneuver like no other he's ever done before! Holding on tight to Cortex's hand, Crash twirls around & creates a magical tornado, causing a nearby N. Trap to ascend off the ground & get caught up in the, ahem, Furricane! The Furricane knocks N. Trap away to the farthest other side of Wumpa Island.

N. Trap: "AAAAAAAUUUUGH!"

At the peak of the spin heard 'round the world, Crash decides that it's time for Cortex to get the same treatment as his "alleged" lover, N. Trap.

Crash: "MAN! I remember you use to always hate this part!"

Cortex: "W-Whahahahahat are yoiyoiyoiyoiyou talking abouwouwouwout?!"

Crash: "THIS! TA-TA FOR NOW, OLD FRIEND!!"

Crash stops his powerful twirl & performs the spin-throw, throwing Cortex far, far away from the island elsewhere on the planet.

Jade: "That's my bandicoot."

Cortex: "THIS ISN'T OVER, CRASH BANDICOOOOOOT!"

The good guys cheer for another valiant victory. Uka Uka is obviously not impressed one bit.

Uka: "NOO! This was supposed to be the time evil finally prevailed!"

Aku: "Perhaps next time, brother, or better yet-"

Crash: "NEVER!"

Uka: "It's always another day, just like there's always another way."

He disappears from the scene. Everyone runs up to Crash, who returns back to his normal-form.

Jade: "I can't believe what just happened. We thought, I thought you were gone for a second."

Crash: "I did, too. But apparently even the ancients knew I wasn't done yet."

Aku: "The ancient spirits are very observant & fond of you Crash. Even though I am tasked with the responsibility to watch over you & your friends with protection, they are the ones who give me the power to grant you these new special abilities you now wield."

Crash: "Woah."

Wyatt: "Sweet! So now you can like throw magicy-fireballs & fly & all that awesome stuff?"

Crash: "I guess so!"

Coco: "That means it was time. Everything you've done over the years has led you up to this!"

Crunch: "Yeah! Now you're like the ULTIMATE hero! You got all these mumbo-jumbo powers, you're unstoppable, bro!"

Crash: "Yeah, but I still got one weakness: It's you guys, my greatest friends in the world. Especially one in particular."

Crash walks to Jade, who's still a little injured, & takes her hand.

Crash: "You gonna be okay?"

Jade: "I'm already feeling a lot better now. The world is safe & the jerks are gone, at least for the time being. & You're here."

Crash: "Like always."

Crash literally sweeps Jade off her feet. Both the marsupial & tigress lean their faces close to kiss each other.

Crunch: "Well it's about time!"

Aku: "Please, no more mentioning of that word. Us spiritual masks get migraines, too."


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Somewhere deep in the jungles of the island, N. Trap awakens from being blown away by the "Furricane". Alone with nothing armed, she begins to wander the environment looking for a way out. Suddenly, she hears sticks & twigs cracking nearby. Then she hears a familiar voice...

"Your on my time now."

N. Trap: "Who's there?"

"No one crosses me."

N. Trap: "...Nefarious? Is- is that you?"

"You'll learn that the hard way, Netra."

Dr. N. Tropy returns back to the present, gaining control of his staff once again. He is not happy. Failing to stop a hero & being double-crossed at the same time can really damage a man, y'know?

N. Trap: "L-Listen, what happened in the past, it was n-nothing personal! Please, my love-"

N. Tropy: "Let's see how you like being trapped! TRAPPED IN TIME!"

N. Trap: "Wait, please! Ne delayte etogo!"  (Don't do this!)

N. Tropy creates a portal with his staff, it sucks N. Trap in.

"EEEYAAAAHHH!!"

Within seconds, N. Trap is sucked through the closing portal & is gone from the present, possibly for good.

N. Tropy: "I hope you find triceratops friendly, ta-ta, 'honey' !"

*poof*

& just like that, N. Tropy is gone.
