Me: Hey, guys. It's me again. And this is my newest crossover. It's for my two favorite video game franchises, Splatoon and Crash Bandicoot. It's called Crash and the Inklings. I know, it's corny but that's all I can think of.
Callie: It takes place in the first Splatoon.
Marie: I think this would make a great story.
Me: I think so, too. So let's get started shall we?
Crash woke up one day, hearing evil laughter outside. So he, Coco and Aku Aku got outside, spotting Dr. Neo Cortex holding a weird device.
"Finally! A world where I can find control," Cortex said. "That Zapfish will be mine. Once I have its power, I will be all powerful. Ah, if it isn't Crash and Coco."
"What the heck is a Zapfish?" Coco yelled.
"I have no reason to tell a girl like you my secrets," Cortex said. "I don't have the time deal with you two. I'm headed to my path to victory!" With that, Cortex laughed and opened a portal. So Crash, Coco, Crunch and Aku Aku went inside the portal.
The heroes ended in a strange place. In the distance, the bandicoots and mask spotted a girl with purple tentacle-like hair wearing a blue shirt with pearls and clams on it, glasses and purple running shoes.
"What is that? A humanoid Squid?" Crunch asked.
"Looks like it. Where is she going?" Coco asked.
"Let's follow her," Aku Aku said. Crash nodded in agreement and followed the squid girl as she shot strange ink-like substance out of a strange gun until she reached the end.
"Alright, that's the training I-huh?" the squid girl said, noticing Crash, Coco, Crunch and Aku Aku. "Who are you, fellow Inklings?"
"Inklings?" Coco asked.
"Yeah. That's what we are. Inklings," the girl said. Finally, Crash looked at Coco and Coco looked at him and the others for the first time, noticing that they were also the humanoid squids known as Inklings. Except Crash, Coco and Crunch's hair was orange and Aku Aku's hair was red. The girl said she was heading to Inkopolis for some ink battles so the team agreed to go with her, not needing training thanks to watching the girl train. The Inkling introduced herself as Emilie and Coco introduced herself, Crash, Crunch And Aku Aku. So Emilie and her new team headed to Inkopolis. Then a news report came in.
"Hold on to your tentacles..." an Inkling in a black unitard and magenta tights announced.
"It's Inkopolis News time," said an Inkling with a black dress and lime green tights. The two girls announced the next rotation stages: Mahi Mahi Resort and Saltspray Rig for regular and Flounder Heights and Ancho-V Games for ranked. Then the two announced that the Great Zapfish was stolen and that they can't do turf war for too long, otherwise Inkopolis will lose energy. After that, the two girls did their ending slogan:
"Stay fresh!"
"Who were those two?" Aku Aku asked.
"That was the Squid Sisters, Callie and Marie," Emilie said. "I'm their bodyguard, so I try to keep them safe. And another reason I came here is because my boss, Cap'n Cuttlefish, went to Octo Valley to find the Zapfish and fight creatures known as Octarians."
"What do they need with the Zapfish?" Crunch asked.
"They need it to power the Octo Weapons to take over Inkopolis," Emilie said. "So I decided to do Turf War at Inkopolis Tower for some reflex training. Want to join me? I got plenty of weapons." The team agreed and got their weapons. Crash got a charger, Coco got a splattershot, Crunch got a roller and Aku Aku got a slosher. After playing ten turf war battles, the team headed to Octo Valley. When the team got there, an old inkling stood next to a shack, rambling about the Octarians.
"Cap'n, calm down, it's me," Emilie said.
"Oh, sorry, Agent E, I lost my cool there," Cap'n Cuttlefish said. "Who are your friends?"
"This is Crash, Coco, Crunch and Aku Aku," Emilie said.
"Well, I think they will do good, after all, an agent's job isn't always good doing it alone," Cap'n Cuttlefish said. "From now on, your friends will all be known as Agent 3. And so not to get confused, they're Agent 3A, Agent 3B, Agent 3C and Agent 3D." So the heroes got their gear ready, a head gear, a green and black jacket, and a pair of green and black running shoes. Emilie's outfit was different. She wore a beanie with a face mask, a black and grey vest and purple slip-on shoes. The heroes headed to all the missions until they got to the boss: a giant cube that could crush the team. They were able to stop the enemy and get the Zapfish.
