Crash Bandicoot Archives Volume 2
Today's Episode: A Destroyed Device
AT CRASH'S HOUSE
It was partly cloudy in the Island of Wumpa; Aku Aku was going to visit a famous place somewhere.
Aku Aku: Don't worry; I'll be back in about a week.
Crash and Crunch were practicing boxing with a leather punching bag with fifty Wumpa fruit inside it. Apparently, at the same time, Coco was on her laptop. It always seemed that she would never find out anything about the next Cortex scheme without it.
Coco: Okay Crash and Crunch, I am going to get something upstairs.
Crunch: Um, okay then.
Crash: Yeah okay.
Coco went upstairs and placed her laptop down on a table really close to wear Crash and Crunch was. And it was Crash's turn to punch the bag. Crunch was holding it. Crash landed lots of very strong punches but on his last punch, Crash punched so hard that it knocked the bag right out of Crunch!
Crunch: (Falling sideways) Whoa! Look out Crash!
Crash: AHH!
The punching bag sped toward Crash with lightning speed and instantly knocked Crash off and sent him barreling into the table where Coco put her laptop! As Crash landed with a thump, he could hear glass breaking.
Crash's Mind: Oh no. I hope that was not the screen on my sister's laptop!
Crunch: Crash! Are you okay?
Crash: Yeah, I'm fine- (Gasp)
Crunch: Oh snap! You are dead meat!
Crash: You could say that again!
On the floor next to Crash, was Coco's laptop with the screen shattered with a big crack in the screen to, and punctured three keys.
Crash heard Coco's footsteps coming down the stairs.
Crash ran toward Crunch and hide behind him.
Crunch: What are you doing?
Crash: Come on! Hide me!
Crunch: I can't!
Crash: What do you mean you can't?
Coco was downstairs walking toward the table. Apparently as well, the laptop was hided near the corner.
Coco: Who took my laptop?
Crash: I don't know, ask Crunch.
Crunch: WHAT? I DID NOT TAKE YOUR LAPTOP!
Coco: Well where is it?
Crunch: Um…
Then Coco saw her laptop all wrecked up. Coco just stood there, with pure shock on her face and her jaw opened up all the way.
Crunch and Crash made a disgusted look at that face.
Coco: WHO BROKE MY LAPTOP!?
Crunch: Geez Coco, there is no need to shout!
Crash: Yeah!
Coco: WELL I HAVE TO SHOUT BECAUSE IT WAS MY LAPTOP!
Crunch: Um okay then.
Coco: I think it was you Crunch!
Crunch: ME?! I DID NOT DO ANYTHING!
Coco: Oh yes you did!
Crunch: Ask Crash! I would not do such a thing! He gets into mischief more!
Crash: Why would I do such a thing?!
Crunch: Because you were desired to do that!
Coco: Yeah, I think Crunch has a point. It was you Crash!
Crash's Mind: Just confess, Coco knows you did it anyway!
Crash: Alright, fine it was me!
Coco: (Sobbing) why did you break it?
Crunch: Why don't you get a new laptop?
Coco: Because laptops on Wumpa are very expensive! You think I could just strike it rich?
Crash: Actually, I'll just pay for the damage to get repaired!
Coco: Really Crash?
Crash: Yup! I'll do it for my Sis!
Coco: Gee thanks Crash! I'm so glad to have a brother that would do a thing like that when he makes a mistake!
Crash: (Blushing) Heh.
Coco then hugged Crash so tight while Crunch picked up the laptop.
Crunch: Sure you can fix this Crash? Looks like it'll cost lots of money!
Crash: I'm sure!
Then Crash ran up to his bedroom and looked in his Bandicoot Bank. It was a Crash model of him but you could put the money in through its mouth. Crash dumped all what he had out. It was a BIG bummer for him. Still determined, Crash counted the money he had.
Crash: Only $11.64? I need hundreds more money!
Crash was now panicking now. He promised to Coco that he would repair the money now. Just then, he realized something, although it was going to be a little risky for him. Crash decided to get a JOB to earn some money. That was going to be really difficult for him, but he will take it! He waited for any ads for jobs but no luck.
Crash: I just have to think of something!
Two days passed, and still no luck. But Crash is determined. Whatever it takes, he will try to earn the money toward going into his sister's laptop. Cortex was still busy planning a scheme back in his Castle.
AT CORTEX CASTLE
Cortex: I need another plan to think about!
Just then, Sunny rushed in.
Sunny: Cortex, I have great news! Coco's laptop has been offline for some time, I have looked into any more details into it and it reveals that Coco's laptop is broken! Now the bandicoots are helpless without it!
Cortex: Excellent Sunny! Now, what kind of scheme should I do now?
Sunny: That choice is up to you boss!
Cortex: Hmmmmmmmmm. I got it! I'll make a wizard that will destroy the bandicoot's houses!
Sunny: That's a good plan!
Cortex: I KNOW!
Cortex then went to Nitrus Brio's lab.
Brio: Good morning Cortex! What shall I do for you now?
Cortex: I want you to make a wizard that is perfect at the art of fireballs!
Brio: Okay Cortex! Coming right up!
Cortex: Without the Bandicoot's houses, they have nowhere to live! Then, I'll imprison them and then make them evil! Soon, I'll take over the world! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Brio: Good plan Cortex, I'm looking forward to that!
Cortex: Yes, I can't wait for this plan to work!
Then Cortex left the lab.
Cortex's Mind: Stupid Bandicoots! They don't even have the money to repair one laptop! Why don't they just sell something?
Cortex giggled at the thought. It was nice to have the Bandicoots to lose one of the most important things to stop him.
Nina then walked in.
Nina: Hello Uncle!
Cortex: Wait till you here this! Coco's laptop is wrecked!
Nina was shocked by that.
Nina: I've never heard of that before.
Cortex: Of course you haven't! And now you are looking at the person who is at the first step of taking over the world!
Nina: Wow, that's exciting!
Cortex: Yes it is!
Nina walked away from the room with mixed feelings now.
Cortex then started to laugh devilishly. There was no turning back now.
