Sorry guys, I have writers block with Cortex's Big Plan so I'm doing this spin off story. I hope you guys will enjoy it while I'm busy working with ideas for Chapter 11. I do not own any of the characters except for my OCs in the fafic if they will appear in it.

In Australia...

I was hopping around with a few of my friends. My family have gone south in this place for days and I was hoping that they would return. I looked down at the ground as a bigger Kangaroo leaped over to me. He gave me a worried look.

"Hey mate, come on now. Your mother and father can't be that far away. Besides, they are coming back in a week or so." The huge kangaroo smiled at me. I smiled back and sighed. I needed more kangaroos to play with.

"Do you think I can find more friends besides you, Marsha and Clay." I asked.

"Cage, listen. Everyone has magrated to a bigger and better place. You must stay with us until your parents return. They will check out the new place and come by to get you and we all will migrate there." The huge kangaroo explained once more.

"But Crow, I cannot wait any longer, they have been gone for sometime now." Tears were starting to come out of my eyes. I wiped them and leaped away from Crow. The large kangaroo watched me leave.

I hopped around without anyone watching me. Crow was supposed to follow me, but for some reason he chose not to. He really didn't care about me at all I guess. I mean he would never leave me alone like this, he used to follow me when I was sad. Now I really need Crow. I turned around to go back and see if Crow was ok until I heard a strange sound. It was like an air plane but much worse. I looked up and saw something coming down above me. There was a letter "N" printed on this flying craft as I leaped off in a hurry.

"Crow! Crow!" I shouted. I leaped to the same spot we were talking at but there was no sign of Crow anywhere. Then I called out to Marsha and Clay. Clay saw me and he leaped over to me.

"Cage, what's wrong?" Crow asked me. I shievered in fear and I used my nose to point out the flying craft from afar.

"What is that?" Marsha finally came out from the bushes. Out desert like land was getting poluted with dust in the air. We all coughed and hurried off to get away from the flying craft which landed and it seemed like nothing was happening.

We all peeked out from the bushes and saw two men coming out of the ship. One had an "N" on his forehead while the other one looked rather ugly and old. He held potions in his hands while he walked.

"Who on earth are they?" Marsha growled.

"I don't know. Where is Crow?" Clay asked.

"I was talking with Crow and I leaped off to find my parents, but I knew that Crow did not follow me this time." I answered. I was scared.

"It's not like Crow. Crow should have been watching you. He knew that you had no parents at the moment." Clay growled.

"Crow has betrayed us. He no longer cares about us kangaroos. He cares about himself." Marsha sighed.

"I will remember that." Clay looked at me now. He was worried about the two men. I was too. Suddenly, I noticed Crow. He was leaping near the flying air ship as we all tried to get him to leave that area. Crow ignored us and peeked from behinfd the ship, he saw the two men and he quickly attacked.

"CROW!" I screamed, I leaped out from the bushes to help him as Clay and Marsha tried to hold me back.

"Crow will be fine Cage! Do not try and save him!" Clay was holding on to me. I was trying to get free and help Crow.

"You better leave our home!" Crow attacked the two men. One of the laughed and shot him in the heart with a lazer gun. Crow silently let out a howl of pain and fell onto the ground.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOO! CROOOOOOOOOOOOW!" I shouted and leaped out of Clay's arms and jumped towards Crow.

"Cage... No..." Crow grunted, he couldn't even get up to see me. His vision became blurry as he died right in front of me.

"Net this one!" The man with the "N" on his forehead ordered to his partner.

"Get blasted!" The old doctor blasted me with a net trap. Clay and Marsha backed away from the scene, they didn't want to risk saving me.

"Clay! Marsha! Help!" I called, but they both leaped away, too scared to help me and Crow was dead. He did care about me, he was just stressed out because of me and my actions that I chose.

Spray was in the air as I blacked out. It was sleeping gas.

"He is a small one. He will work! Come on Brio! Back to ship!" The man called to his partner.

"I'm coming Cortex!" Brio took me into the flying ship and threw me in it. I was in the net trap sleeping my eyes off. I was trying so hard to wake up but I couldn't and as a result I woke up later. I was in a cage as I saw other animals yelping and banging on their cages to get out.

I looked at the cages, they had number tags on them and so did mine. Mine said: Experiment 225. I guess that was a side name. I saw the two doctors working on an animal. He injected it with a needle as I was too scared to get out of my cage. But that's not all, he took the animal to a chair and placed it there. He strapped it in so that it couldn't escape and ZAP! The animal was getting shocked by a ray as I watched in horror. Was I next?

I didn't want to be zapped. I was trying to find a way out before I was next. I banged on the cage and tried to get my paws out so that I could reach the lock on the outside of the cage door. My brown fur was getting hot from the room temperature. Finally I stopped and gave up and the mutated animal was a tough koala bear. It looked at Cortex and Brio and pounded it's chest. I didn't like the idea at all.

Finally it was supper time as I was getting fed by Cortex who spoke to me.

"Now experiment 225, you are next after you finish your supper, you will help me get that bandicoot once and for all!" Cortex laughed. Uh, what was a bandicoot? I never heard anything about a plan to hurt someone else. I was giving Cortex a worried look, then I got my supper and I ate most of it. By the time I finished my supper, I kicked my bowl to the back of the cage. Cortex was ready for me as he unlocked by cage and picked me up.

"Let me go!" I growled.

"Well well well, just like your daddy. Well experiment 225, you are going to become one of my mutants and you will kill Crash for me!"Cortex was carrying me to the evolvo ray as he called it. He sat me down into the chair as I shook in fear, I looked around the place and then I looked at Brio who was holding the switch. They placed the strap over me as they laughed.

I wondered why until I was shocked. I was hurting from the pain as I gasped for air after that zapping I recieved. But they were not done with me yet. They zapped me a second time and that did it. My fur was turing blue as I started to hop around and attack Cortex and Brio but they soon calmed me to down and had me go after a dude named: Crash Bandicoot. I laughed like crazy and leaped out of the office to find Crash.

"Hahahahahahaha hee hee heee hahahahahaha!" I laughed. Never to speak English again...
