Dr. Neo Cortex was in the jungle looking for animals for his Cortex Commandos Army. He spotted a orange Bandicoot, "He looks perfect to be the leader of my Cortex Commandos." The little bandicoot saw him and ran as fast as he could, but not fast enough for a getaway. At the moment, Cortex capture the nameless bandicoot. "Hello, little guy your coming with me." He said, Later that day, Cortex was at his castle getting ready for his plans to take over the world. " Hahhhahhahaahahahahaha soon the world will see that I "Dr. Neo Cortex" see to those who mocked me, treat me like shit as I grew up, those who bullied me during school that I have an army of mutants to take over the world". He puts our soon-to-be hero in the Evolvo-Ray. He flicks the switch and a ray of beam hit the Bandicoot turning him into a anthropomorphic Eastern barred bandicoot with blue shorts and brown shoes with white laces and brown gloves on his hands. "Finally, bandicoot you will obey me and be the leader of my army of Cortex Commandos" However the bandicoot gave a goofy look at Cortex and ran off. "Come back here!" The Bandicoot fell out of the window and landed in the waters. "Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" The next day the bandicoot was washed out to the shore at a beach, he was in the presence's of a floating witch doctor's mask. "Hello, what's your name?" Asked the mask. The Bandicoot remain mute since he was never given a voice. "My name is Aku Aku and I don't think you have a name, well then I guess I name you Crash Bandicoot it has a nice ring to it huh? Crash nodded in agreement. And that's the story of Crash Bandicoot.
