Crash Twinsanity - the Full Uncut Edition

Welcome readers to my fanfic based on what Twinsanity could have been if Traveller's Tales Oxford were given more time to finish the game the way they intended. We all know that they were under pressure by Universal to get the game out by Christmas and as we can see in the gem galleries in the game, it is clear that more content was meant to be in the game from cut enemies and characters to levels and concepts.

Whenever I play Crash Twinsanity I imagine things like; "What if you could go back to the other islands in the series like Cortex Island and Wumpa Island? (Then known as the unnamed second island of the first game) What if you could control Cortex on his hoverboard? What if you got the chance to destroy the only mentioned Vice Verser-Reverser Device?" It really is interesting to wonder what the game would have been like with these concepts.

So here is my take on Crash Twinsanity. Much of the story is still intact, but has been extended for example; originally there would be a level where Crash would have explored Cortex's mind to search for information about the Evil Twins and the background music even had the doctor singing instead of having him remember it on the airship. Some of the levels are based on real cut ones while others I have speculated or completely made up.

This is my first fanfic so if something doesn't look right please let me know. I hope you enjoy and be sure to let me know if you like it.

The first couple of chapters follow the same as in the game so there may not be many changes. There are a couple of things I have added can you spot them.

Crash Twinsanity, Crash Bandicoot and related characters are owned by Universal, Travellers Tales and I suppose Activision currently.

Chapter 1: Cortex Strikes Back… Again (Jungle Bungle)

"Idiot… Fool… Nincompoop! You've landed us in the middle of nowhere!"

Uka Uka was not happy and he was with the one person he would not want to be stranded in the Antarctic with; Doctor Neo Cortex, who has failed him once again. The evil mask started blasting bolts of anger at the hapless doctor, who pled for mercy while running around on a tiny iceberg.

"No wait… I can explain… Ouch! I'll get my revenge Crash Bandicoot… Just you wait!" He called out.

Three years later

Cortex and Uka Uka are frozen in an ice cube and drift across the sea near N. Sanity Island.

In the jungle outside the Bandicoot House, Coco Bandicoot is playfully chasing a butterfly.

"I'm gonna get ya! Come here." She giggled.

All of a sudden, an arm holding a blaster gun sticks out from the back of a tree. The user cycles through the settings including: Love, Stun, Torch and Disintegrate. After some consideration, he settles on Stun. He then aims and blasts green plasma at Coco, which shocks her and she falls onto her back, immobile. The butterfly flutters onto her nose and then flies away as an ominous shadow casts over the girl.

"Sleep my insipid angel."

On N. Sanity Beach our hero, Crash Bandicoot is digging a hole and then from behind a tree Coco (Actually a disguised Cortex) appears and calls out to Crash.

"Crash… Crash… Where are you big brother? There's something weird going on in the bay. Come see." He grins with malice.

Crash scouts the beach and comes across his long-time friend; Aku Aku, who gestures at one of his Mask crates.

"It is I, Aku Aku. My duty is to protect you. You may summon me by breaking open these crates. Call me thrice and I shall grant you special powers."

After receiving that info, Crash enters the jungle (Jungle Bungle) and stops just short off the side of his house to witness Coco skipping merrily down the path as he spoke.

"Come on... Follow me Crash. Stay close and do what I do." She said as she spun and hit a skunk. She then continued along the trail.

Crash also went along, all the while using his classic Spin attack against crabs and skunks and comes across Coco infront of the entrance to a small cave, where two tribesmen where also standing holding homemade shields. She slide kicks one of the mens legs knocking him out.

"It's easy, all too easy." She then took off.

Crash followed, still not questioning the fact his sister has a beard. A while later, he witnesses her slam a worm and jump on it when it pops out the other hole sending her higher up the cliff side.

"It's true, blondes do have fun!" She cheerfully said.

Now on high ground, Crash witnesses Coco get knocked off a narrow part of the path with pits on either side by a spiked log. She grunts when it hits her and falls into the abyss.

"I'm ok… the spikes broke my fall…"

Further along, Crash is shown how to use his Death Tornado Spin against groups of enemies and glide over pits. Further along the track, Crash comes across a disgruntled skunk in front of three rows of Nitro crates that starts talking to him.

"Hey, hey, hey… Yeah you! I've been doing this for ten stinking years! Back and forward… Back and forward… And I'm sick of it! Well I'm not gonna do it no more!" The moody mammal crossed its arms in defiance. Crash decides to hit the skunk which throws it into the Nitro what immediately blow up. A few feet away, a venus fly trap gets its head squashed by two logs that fall from the sides.

Finally Crash walks into a ruined arena where Coco reveals herself to be Cortex.

"Surprised to see me Crash? Like the fleas in your fur I keep coming back. Three years I've spent alone in the frozen Antarctic wastes… and I missed you!" He mocked. Crash just blinks with confusion and proceeds to scratch his fleas. "And so I've organised a little gathering. Like a birthday party, except the exact opposite! And look – All of your friends are here!" The camera pans over to the side where villains from Crash's past are watching including Dingodile, Pinstripe Potoroo, Tiny Tiger, Ripper Roo (Who was making his maniacal laugh.), the Komodo Brothers, Polar (Who is armed with a baseball bat, glaring at Crash), Crunch Bandicoot (Who is holding a birthday cake), Nitros Oxide and Koala Kong. "You are so very popular. Let's start handing out the presents…"

With that, Cortex jumped on his hover board and started quick-firing green plasma shots at the bandicoot. Then he threw bombs, which he calls gifts from the "party guests".

"This is from Tiny. This is from Dingodile. Ripper Roo you shouldn't have! Pinstripe, how thoughtful. Oh dear, two of the same, but don't worry I kept the receipt." He charged up his ray gun to blast at Crash. "Here's one gift you can return." Bad idea as he gave Crash a clue to spin the plasma back at him. After their fight, Crash is of course is victorious.

Cortex is still on his hover board. All of a sudden, a giant robot bearing the likeness of Crash fly's up behind the doctor with Doctor N. Gin piloting it.

"Meet your brand new hydraulically operated twin brother, MECHA-BANDICOOT!" The mech jumped into the arena as Cortex continued. "How was I?"

"Doctor Cortex, you were magnificent." N. Gin congratulated him.

"Of course I was you fool. Initiate missile attack!"

Crash disables the mech's chainsaw and missile weapons and finally spins it's plasma that shoots out of the nose, this render's the robot useless. It stomps up and down on the tiny platform taking a tantrum as the other evil witnesses looked on in disbelief. The stage gives way and falls down a pit shortly followed by Mecha-Bandicoot. Cortex is hit by a fiery blast from the mechanical might and loses control of his hover board, knocking into Crash and the two fall deep into the trench. Dingodile and Ripper Roo look down into it.

"Lunch?" The hybrid asked nonchalantly. Ripper Roo excitedly made his psycho laughter.

"That would be lovely." He suddenly said in an abrupt classy manner.

End of Chapter One. Next, Cavern Catastrophe and meeting the main villain's the Evil Twins.
