Chapter 21: Always & FurEver

(Some time into the future)

*Ding-Dong!*

The doorbell for Coco's house rings. She hears it & prepares to get the door.

Coco: "Oh, I wonder who that could be."

She turns the knob & pulls the door open. At the door standing on her porch is Dr. Neo Cortex & Uka Uka, who surprises her hugely.

Coco: "OH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING AT MY DOOR?!"

Cortex: "I'm here to burn this island down."

Coco: "Oh no you're not!"

Coco rushes towards Cortex & prepares to karate-kick him. But thanks to being en-gifted with "Dark-Crystal Power" from Uka Uka, Cortex quickly reacts & blocks her attack.

Cortex: "Tsk tsk, that's no way to treat a visitor now, is it?"

Coco lets out a scream of instant panic.

Coco: "AAAAHHHH! Was that too much?"

A more powerful Cortex drags Coco out in the middle of the residence area & before her stands the most horrifying creation ever created.

Coco: "You won't get away with this, you- life form-loathing jerk!"

Cortex: "Say hello to my greatest invention of all-time: The N. Igma Machine! A machine of pure unpredictability, encoded with superior artificial intelligence & powered by mystical Crystals, fueled by dark-magic."

Coco: "Wow."

Uka: "Cower before this godly creation, for it may be the last thing you ever see, girl."

Cortex: "You know who I'm seeking, female bandicoot. Waste more of my time & I'll end you right here & now!"

Crash: "I don't think so, Neo!"

Finally, the heroic Crash Bandicoot steps on to the scene with Aku Aku by his side.

Cortex: "So it's you. Funny how we both possess power identical to each other now, am I right?"

Crash: "Yeah, but do you know how to USE this power you have now?"

Cortex: "Check this out! My N. Igma machine is living proof, & with it, I'll destroy everything in my path, but first..."

Crash: "Yeah yeah, I know. Just like old times?"

Cortex: "Well then come at me then, you ever-so-persistent little creature!"

Uka: "Gaze upon our great creation. Your move, brother!"

Aku: "Big machinery & Crystals will not ensure your victory, Uka Uka. Me & Crash will prove that."

Crash: "It's on again, Neo!"

Cortex gets into & revs up his machine & charges right towards his enemy, who is, of course, always prepared for anything. As Cortex launches projectiles towards Crash's direction, Crash dodges out of the way & super-hops into the air. From there he leaps onto the powerful robot. With his right-hand on fire & ready to smash through something like a crate, Crash swings his arm around in a rapid spin & aims it at the window of where Cortex resides & controls the N. Igma. The battle between good & evil continues...

Whether it's saving the world or protecting people & his loved ones, you can always count on Crash Bandicoot to save the day. & though Dr. Cortex is even more powerful than he has ever been, thanks to the work of dark magic & lost Power Crystals, our hero will always find a way, like he has been since his day of creation.

He is Crash Bandicoot.

Always & FurEver.

"WOAH!"
