Chapter 1

"Well then... how do we get him back?" asked Rai-Gin.

"We send someone after him," Devial growled.

"But who?" questioned Rai-Gin.

Meanwhile on an island I washed up. A golden mask with blue, red, green and yellow feathers on its top with purple eyes watched.

I groaned and set up and looked around. "W-Where am I?"

"You're on Dango Island."

I yelped and jumped back, before turning to who spoken. I saw the mask as it flow over to me.

"Who are you...?"

"Rika-Rika. I am the guarden of this island. And might I ask, who are you?"

"Thunder Bandicoot."

"Mmm... indeed you are a Bandicoot. Yet, human like as well. How?"

"Devial created me."

"So, you're one of his minions then?" asked Rika-Rika.

"Well.. yes.. but I swear to you, I'm good."

"Mmmm.. glad to hear that," Rika-Rika said.

"Ah, so that's what happened to you," Rika-Rika said after I was done telling him my story.

"Yep.. that's the story," I sighed.

"So, you're saying that you didn't want to be evil and help him take over the world, right?" the mask asked.

I nodded.

"Come with me Thunder. I have some friends I want you to meet," Rika-Rika said.

"Er.. okay?"

The mask's eyes began to glow and we were sent to another island. Wumpa Island.

"Where are we now?"

"Wumpa Island."

"Wumpa Island?"

"Yes. Now come."

Rika-Rika lead the way to a hut. It was brown and tall with glass windows. Three Bandicoots and another mask came out. Two of the three Bandicoots where orange with green eyes and that last one was brownish red with green eyes. The mask was brown with yellow eyes with red, blue, green, yellow and purple feathers on its head.

"Hello Crash, Coco, Crunch, Aku-Aku," said Rika-Rika.

"Hello Rika-Rika," they said back.

"Who's that?" asked Coco.

"This is Thunder," Rika-Rika said.

"Hi," I said.

"Hello. Name's Crash Bandicoot."

"And I'm Coco Bandicoot."

"Crunch Bandicoot here."

"Aku-Aku," added the other mask.

"Thunder is in need of help my friends," Rika-Rika told the Bandicoots and mask.

"Oh? What's wrong?" asked Crash.

Rika-Rika turned to me. "Tell 'em."

"Alright.." I said and began to tell my story to them.

After I was done, Crash, Coco, Crunch and Aku-Aku gasped.

"Holy shit! That's what happened to me!" Crash said in shock.

I blinked. "Really?"

"Yeah! Cortex wanted me to help him take over the world, but, I didn't wanna. So, I jumped out the window, came to N. Sanity Island, then here on Wumpa Island. Anyway, you're going through what I did. So, if I'm right, Davial will send some of his minions after you," Crash told me.

"Great..." I sighed.
