Crash Bandicoot Archives Volume 8
Today's Episode: Gang Time
It was a normal day in the island of Wumpa. Cortex decided to just take a break and chat with one of his henchmen, Koala Kong. Everything seemed to be okay until a Wumpa Gang showed up. The leader's name was called Gan. He had two other members that helped him named Gafe and Gon.
AT THE STORE
Crash walked over and headed inside the store. Gafe's gang was hanging out in a graffiti colored brick walls.
Gan: Gon and Gafe, go give that little Crash a little beating!
Gafe: Got it!
Gafe and Gon hurried in. As Crash headed in, he looked over at his shopping list. Because Coco had send him on another shopping trip.
Crash: Okay! Let's see what we need!
5 Bananas
Hammer
3 Watermelons
Pancake Mix
Crash got a shopping cart and then grabbed the bananas hastily. He already knew where to find them because he got them almost every time each shopping trip. He had the hammer already since he got it at the hardware store before this grocery store. He walked a few more steps to the pancake mix when he saw two bandicoot that looked like a gang member stealing a pack of root beer.
Crash: Huh, maybe he had too much to drink!
Crash grabbed the pancake mix and headed to the watermelon crate isle. He tapped on one and picked out two when he felt a finger tapping on him. Crash turned around but then got punched in the face by Gon!
Crash: AHHOF!
Crash was sent tumbling and landed on top of the watermelons. He could see Gon and Gafe. He vaguely recognized them from that brick wall that was across from the store.
Crash: (Climbing Off) what do you want with me?
Gafe: What do we want with you?
Gafe punched Crash again and this time, Crash completely smashed the crate down.
Crash: So, you want a beating for me?
Gon: Yup!
Gon was about to punch Crash again when Crash grabbed his arm and punched him in the torso. Gon stumbled back and Crash landed a roundhouse kick on Gafe. They all stumbled back and smiled.
Gon: Heh ha! Watch this!
Gon ran forward and tried to hook punch Crash when Crash ducked and threw him over into the floor. Lots of bandicoots who were shopping all crowded around the scene. Gafe took out a knife and was about to stab Crash when Crash grabbed a watermelon and threw it at Gafe. Gafe sliced it with the knife splashing watermelon juice all over him.
Gafe: AURG!
Gafe stumbled back, Crash jabbed the knife out of his hand and then swiftly turned around and landed a back kick smashing Gafe into a nearby shelf that had breakfast foods in.
Crash: Hope you had you're breakfast!
Gon stumbled up and nearly slipped on a watermelon when Crash grabbed his head and smiled.
Crash: Want a watermelon?
Gon: (Teeth Clenching) you little-
Crash jabbed him and placed a watermelon on his hand. Gon nearly dropped it when Crash ran forward and kicked Gon's face and propelled him backward and smashed into a soda vending machine shattering the glass.
Crash: Hey, at least you got free soda!
Gon: I'm outta here!
Gon and Gafe ran out before Crash could stop them, pushing the crowd out of the way. Crash walked over to the store manager and paid him nearly all of his money, sixty dollars.
Crash: This is to cover my groceries and the damage the gang caused!
Store Manager: Okay, thanks!
Gafe and and Gon limped over to Gan's group and sneered with anger.
Gan: So. I'm assuming Crash beat you two?
Gon: Yeah.
Gan: Fine! We'll go again this time, at night!
Gafe: Huh?
Gan: Of course! With darkness falling, we'll go tear that bandicoot up!
Gon: Like the sound of that!
Gan: I know!
AT CRASH'S HOUSE
Crash brought back the groceries into his house and saw Coco still fixing the furnace.
Coco: Come on Crash! If you hadn't decided to roast Wumpa Fruit here, I wouldn't be doing this right now!
Crash: Still, these two gang members tried to punch me!
Coco: And you beat them?
Crash: Yeah, and only got punched in the face two times!
Coco: Probably got what you deserved!
Crash: What? (Playfully hit Coco on the shoulder.)
Coco: Anyway, I'm almost done fixing this hot thing.
Crash: (Putting the watermelons on the table) Great!
Crash got a watermelon and sliced a sixteenth off with a knife. He put the knife away and went outside under a tree shade to eat it. Crash bit a piece of and it felt juicy and sweet.
Crash: Ahhh!
The day whizzed by and before Crash knew it; he was walking back to his house after a very enjoyable party with some other bandicoots. Crash walked on top of a hill and enjoyed the view. Crash admired the calm windy breeze that swept across his fur. Crash decided to meditate for a few seconds when he heard footsteps behind him. He looked behind him and saw Gafe and Gon with six other gang members behind them.
Crash: (Sigh) Look, I don't want a fight here.
Gon: We're not here for a fight.
Gafe: We're here for a brawl!
Gafe ran towards Crash and tried to punch Crash. Crash grabbed Gafe's arm and punched his face. Gafe fell down and backed away. Now every gang member ran towards Crash. Crash double kicked Gon and then grabbed a gang member and smashed his head. He spin kicked another and then grabbed two gang members; He double heel kicked them and threw them on the ground. Crash landed a backward tornado kick on another Gang member. A gang member punched Crash in the face, but that didn't stop Crash yet. Crash hook punched the gang member spinning the gang member over and spiraled into a nearby boulder. Crash was in pursuit of the last gang member. Crash ran up the boulder, and the gang member ran after him. Crash saw that he was at the edge of the hill.
Gang Member: I'll get you!
The gang member jumped down on Crash, but Crash backed down to the ground and used both of his feet to maneuver the gang member over him by kicking him over.
Gang member: AHHH!
The gang member was sent flying all the way down into some blueberry shrubs with blueberry all over his face, he was a slop.
Crash ran back and saw two gang members recovered. Crash jumped back on the boulder and then spin kicked one while he was on mid-air. Crash landed down on the grass and then already knew what was going to happen. The other gang member tried to land an uppercut on him when Crash jumped back and grabbed the gang member's wrist. He pushed in into the gang member's face. The gang member stumbled back and then landed a punch in Crash's torso.
Crash: OOOF!
Crash stumbled back too but then tornado kicked the gang member spinning him out. Another gang member got up and then grabbed Crash.
Crash: Let me go!
The other gang member who was spinned out laughed. He walked over to Crash and punched him in the face, in the torso, and in the neck.
Crash: (Cough) (Cough)
Crash used all his might to lift up both of his feet and push the gang member away with it. Crash looked behind him and elbowed the other gang member, grabbed his head, and threw him over. The gang member slided as he impacted against the ground and showed an angry face.
Gang Member: AH ARGGGGGG!
The gang member took out a knife and ran to Crash with all his might. Crash grabbed the wrist, and pushed the gang member. The gang member rolled two times when he hit the ground again. The gang member staggered back up with dirt and grass all over his face. The gang member ran at Crash and Crash used a nearby stick. Crash blocked the gang member with the stick as the gang member landed crazy jabs trying to get Crash all over the place. Crash swiped down and then grabbed the gang member's legs.
Gang Member: AHHHHHHH!
Crash lifted the legs and threw the gang member up with all his strength. The gang member was in the air and landed head first into the grass. The gang member stumbled up, and then fell back down face first.
Crash: Whew!
Crash knew that he would have to clean up when he gets home.
Crash: (Sigh) I really have to wash up again!?
Crash walked to his house in a huff.
THE NEXT DAY
The Gan's brick wall which was next to his hideout place, Gafe and Gon stumbled back.
Gan: So. You still got beaten!?
Gon: Yeah.
Gan: Well, we're gonna go to the docks and steal some beer that was gonna get shipped out.
Gafe: And we'll steal the beer?
Gan: Yeah!
Gan, Gafe, Gon, and the rest of the gang members ran into their hideout garage and rode out in stolen BMX bikes.
Gan: HEHEH HA!
The dock was only a few miles away and Gan was sneering at the fact that they would soon get the beer they wanted. Meanwhile, Crash was at the docks fishing with Crunch.
