HI! Guess what? Finals are over and now I'm free for the summer. Now that means I can spend more time on Fanfictions. That is until my hours start to spike at work. Here I am to bring you one of two stories that is going to move along in my series. This one is called forgotten.

Just so you all know ahead of time; this story is not action based. It's more about Crash reconnecting and adjusting to the world around him. Also this story is not going to be as long either maybe about typed altogether about 40 pages if that long. (Although I already have a feeling Wrath of Cortex is going to be extremely long. But that fic is not even written out yet, although I already know how's going to flow.)

This fic is also a breath of fresh air because it's alot more light-hearted. Keep in mind though after this fic it's going to get dark again.

As I said before. You like this story, you are awesome. If not, I'll understand not everyone will like it. But, if you do feel I should be doing something different. Politely tell me in a review what I need to work on. Or if you want to drop me a PM go on ahead. I will send a response.

Other than that, Sit back and enjoy the fic

Also for this fic, I strongly recommend listening to Wasted Years by Cold.

Crash Bandicoot and any other related characters belong to whoever holds the rights nowadays. Any OC's that may appear in this fic belong to me.

Here we go

Forgotten Prologue

Bright. Everything was bright in the sterile examination room inside some military headquarters just outside New York City. Lying on a table was a young boy. There was nothing unusual about the boy, except the fact he was a humanoid bandicoot that was shaped like a human. The boy was barely breathing, connected to so many wires to keep him alive. Crowded among the room were dozens of scientists, all determined to save him.

Their leader, Dr. Nitrus Brio, looked down at him with his mouthcovered by a mask. His eyes displayed sadness and some fear. He was so worried saving this boy would mean nothing at the rate they were going.

"Come on Crash, you need to hold on. We can save you just as long as you stay with us." The scientist said, looking down at him.

Naturally Crash didn't respond.

"Doctor, his heartbeat is slowing down again! Should we try shocking him again?" A scientist, asked looking at the heart monitor.

"No! If we tried that before, then it won't do anything this time."

"What can be done if we don't have anything, we'll have to unhook him."

Brio sighed, looking down at the vial in his hands. He used it once before on Crash a while ago and had barely saved him. The only difference now was that was much more internal damage that was done. Making the chances very slim for what Brio had to work with.

"We can try this, it's our only option." Brio said, showing his assistant the vial.

"A chemical solution?! What if Crash doesn't respond?"

"Then I'll know I tried…" Brio answered, quietly.

"I'll prepare the syringe." A scientist sighed.

The syringe was prepared and Brio walked towards the table holding the bandicoot. The bandicoot was completely still, his chest barely rising. The scientist turned towards the window to see his two children, Sean and Holly, looking at him with eyes saying: "Please save him… Don't let it end here"

Brio nodded sadly at them before looking back down at Crash…

"There's still so much for you to do… I'll make sure you can start again."

Brio jabbed the syringe into Crash's chest injecting the solution.

The scientist stepped back and wait to see what would happen.

"Doctor, the bandicoot's condition is stabilizing! It's working!" The assistant said, excitement in her voice.

Brio quickly turned to the heart monitor to see some life coming back to the heroic bandicoot.

Brio felt some relief wash over him. Crash still had a chance.

"Janet how's the internal looking?"

"Despite the great amount of damage it's repairing, but at very slow rate."

"Sigh… We're going to have to put him in a induced coma so his body can heal properly. Otherwise…he might not make it."

Janet sighed as she stared. "How long would you say for?"

"Could be a up to a year."

"Very well then doctor, I'll go and prepare everything."

Janet and the other scientists left leaving Brio to look at Crash who now had some steady breathing.

"Maybe now things will finally get better, wounds will finally heal." Brio thought, a small smile forming on his face.

That's it for the Prologue. I apologize if this was a little rocky. Introduction are one of my weakest links in fanfics but I'll let you guys be the judge.

Until the next chapter, Read and Review.
