Chapter 1: Wumpa Jungle:

I had these weird thoughts lately. Like, if any of this is for real, or not.

An orange bandicoot with red hair, blue jeans and brown gloves and shoes was seen falling through the sea. He has dreams of seeing a huge tide and seeing a huge muscle bandicoot there. He turned around to him and gave out his hand. The bandicoot runs to the big one and the tide hit them. The bandicoot tried to grab the big bandicoot's hand, but got washed away. He emerged from the water to see a female girl bandicoot. He runs to her and saw a light show and see another bandicoot falling and then he fell too, puzzling the girl. The bandicoot woke up and stood on a platform. He choose a sword and starts training against black shadows and then face an giant one and then he was swallowed by darkness.

The bandicoot woke up. He is seen to be on a sandy island. He yawned and then gasped and stood up. The girl bandicoot with blonde hair, a white shirt and blue trousers giggled.

"Give me a break, Coco!" the bandicoot chuckled.

"Crash, you lazy bum" Coco chuckled "I knew I find you snoozing down here."

"No, this huge black thing swallowed me up" aid Crash. "I couldn't move, breathe or… ow!" He just said that because Coco hit him on the head.

"Are you still dreaming?"

"It wasn't a dream…" Crash said "Or was it… I don't know. What was that place, so bizarre."

"Yeah sure…" said Coco as she sat down by her brother.

"Say Coco" said Crash "what is our world like? You know when we grow up?"

"I told you before. I don't remember. Neither did you."

"Nothing at all?"

"Nothing."

"Do you ever want to go back?"

Coco thought for a while. "Well… I'm happy here."

"Really?" Crash said.

"But you know… I wouldn't mind going to see it."

"I like to see it too" Crash said "or any other world out there. I want to see them all!"

"Then what are we're waiting for?"

"Hey!" came the voice. The huge bandicoot with the metal hand and navy pants appeared. "Aren't you forgetting about me?"

"Of course not, Crunch. Not for the world" Crash chuckled.

"So…" Crunch said "I guess I am the only one working on the raft…" he tossed a log to Crash "and you're just as lazy as he is" Crunch said to Coco.

"So you're noticed…" giggled Coco "OK… We finish it together. I'll race you!"

"Huh?" asked Crash.

"What? Are you kidding?" asked Crunch, who sat down next to Crash.

"Ready? GO!"

Crash and Crunch got up and raced Coco to their house laughing.

Coco asked Crash to do some tasks. They need some logs, a cloth and rope. Crash goes off to find them while meeting 3 others. They arrived on this island just 4 weeks ago.

"Pikachu, Mewtwo, Samus" Crash said "how's life treating ya?"

"Hey, what's happening, Crash!" Mewtwo said.

"The breezes feel great!" said Samus.

"Hey, Crash." Pikachu said "You're feeling lucky today?"

"Huh?"

"I mean if you defeat us 3, you get a prize…" Pikachu said as he, Mewtwo and Samus cross arms.

"Ha! Sure. I'll take you on!" Crash said as he got out his wooden sword.

Pikachu grabbed his stick, Samus got her toy blaster out and Mewtwo got into his fighting stance.

(Music from Dragon Ball: Final Bout: Biggest Fight plays)

Samus starts firing balls at Crash who dodged and then hitting them back almost missing Mewtwo and Pikachu. Crash then leapt up and start hitting Samus. Mewtwo powered up his shadow ball and fired. Crash jumped backwards allowing the shadow ball to finish off Samus. Crash then continued using his sword against Mewtwo until he too is defeated. Then he and Pikachu locked sword and stick together. Pikachu used thunder shock to shock Crash, but Crash's fur is electric proof. Crash then hit Pikachu until he too is defeated.

(Finish song)

"I can't believe we lost…" Pikachu said. The other 3 agreed.

"Hey, at least you guys are trying…" Crash smiled.

The 3 smiled and stood up.

"Hey, Crash. Have you ever heard the power of the wumpa fruit?" asked Samus "it said if you share it you really care for… it binds you together and together, forever." She sighs heavily. "It's so romantic. I gotta try it sometimes."

"I see…" said Crash. He turned to Mewtwo. "What are you doing tomorrow, Mewtwo?"

"Me and Pikachu… we're gonna go exploring tomorrow" said Mewtwo "you know… through the base at the end of that tree. There must be something in there, huh?"

Mewtwo and Samus left and Crash turned to Pikachu.

"I think you've gotten stronger" said Pikachu "but odds are, you're still no match for Crunch. We even took him on 3 to one last time and he wiped us all. Well, I suppose Coco can always count on him."

"He just said that to make me feel uneasy, but I defeated him when he was under Cortex's control."

"Oh I see… and as we promised… here you go, Crash" said Pikachu and gave him a potion.

"Thanks Pikachu…" Crash said.

Crash found the stuff and we find him, Coco and Crunch near a tree.

"So, our world is somewhere out there right?" asked Crash.

"Could be…" said Crunch, "we never know by just sitting here."

"But how far can the raft take us?" asked Crash.

"Who knows? If we had to… we'll think of something else." Crunch answered.

"So… supposed we could get to other worlds" said Coco "what would you do there?"

Crunch thought for a while. "Well I haven't thought about it. I've always wondered why we're here on this island. If there are any other worlds out there, why did we end up on this one? And suppose there are other worlds... then ours is just a little piece of something much greater. So we could have just as easily ended up somewhere else, right?"

"I dunno…" said Crash as he leaned back on the tree.

"Exactly…" Crunch said. "That's why we need to go out there and find out. Just sitting here won't change a thing. It's the same old stuff. So let's go."

"You really thought about this…" said Coco.

"Thanks to you…" Crunch said "I haven't thought about it when you came. Coco, thanks."

"You're welcome…" Coco said.

They begin to walk back.

"Crash!" Crash turned as Crunch a gave him a apple. "You wanted one, didn't you?"

"A Wumpa Fruit…" Crash said.

"If two people share one with each other, they will become in each other's lives no matter what" said Crunch "come on… I know you wanna try it."

"What are you…" Crash began, but he hears Crunch laugh. He threw it away and chased after him back home.

In Sega Castle:

A red echidna knocked on the door and then he entered.

"Good morning, your majesty" said the red echidna "it's a great day for a…" but he was looking at an empty throne. "WHAT?!"

Then an two-tailed fox came out. "Knuckles…"

"What is it, Tails?"

"The king left you this letter…" said Tails as he hands Knuckles a letter.

Knuckles read the letter and then ran out. He found a black hedgehog sleeping. He runs to him.

"Wake up, Shadow! This is a disaster!" But Shadow is still asleep. Knuckles then punched him in the stomach and Shadow woke up.

"OW. Knuckles, what was that for?" snapped Shadow.

"We got a problem, Shadow. But don't tell anyone."

"Queen Sally?"

"Not even the queen."

"Rouge?"

"NO! It's top secret!" said Knuckles angrily.

"Morning, ladies!" said Shadow. Knuckles sweatdropped. He turned to see a concerned Rouge and Sally behind her.

The next day on Wumpa Jungle, Crash and Crunch were talking.

"Hey, Crash… our ship need a name. How about "Highwind"?" Crunch crossed his arms, "what about yours?"

"Me? Well… Excalibur…" said Crash.

"How about…"

"The regular…"

"Are you two at it again?" Coco asked "Ok… I will be the judge. You have to race to that tree over there. If you tagged it and get back here wins."

"If I win… err… I'm captain…" Crash said "and if you win…"

"I get to share the Wumpa with Coco…"

"HUH?!"

"Deal? The winner gets to share a Wumpa with Coco" Crunch joked.

Crash took it seriously. "Err… wait a minute…"

"OK… on my count…" Coco said "3, 2, 1… GO!"

Crash and Crunch raced off head to head and tagged the tree at the same time and they rushed back. Crash managed to go a bit faster and crossed before Crunch.

"ALL RIGHT!"

"Chill out dude, it was just a name and I was just kidding about the Wumpa."

"Phew!" Crash sighed.

Coco said to Crash they need food. Crash goes off to collect an egg from a tree, coconuts from the trees, fish from the sea and water from the waterfall. He got 2 mushrooms from the island and went into a cave to find the last one where he saw a drawing on the wall that he and Coco did when they were young. He drew a small fruit beside Coco's picture. He wants to look after he for always. Then he hears a footstep.

"Who's there?" He saw a man wearing a brown cloak behind him, his face unseen.

"I have come to see the door to this world."

"Huh?"

"This world has been connected."

"Wh… what are you're talking about?"

"Tied to the darkness… soon to be eclipsed."

Crash was confused as this. "Well, whoever you are, stop freaking me out like this. Huh? Where did you come from exactly?" he asked the man.

"You do not yet know what lies beyond the door" said the man.

"So you're from another world" said Crash.

"There is so much to learn" said the man "you understand so little, bandicoot."

"Oh yeah, you see… I'm going out there and learn what's out there!" snapped Crash.

"A meaningless effort. One who knows nothing can understand nothing…"

The door made a noise. Crash turned to look at it and when he turned around, the figure's gone.

Crash joined with Coco to find out that Crunch already left. We find Crash and Coco sitting on the beach looking at the sunset.

"You know something? Crunch's changed." Coco replied.

"What do you mean?" asked Crash confused.

"Well…" Coco lost for words. Crash put his arm around his sister.

"You okay?"

"Crash, let's just take the raft and go, just the two of us" Coco said.

"HUH?"

"Heh, just kidding."

"What's gotten into you?" Crash chuckled "You've the one who changed, Coco."

"Maybe… you know I was a little afraid first but now I'm ready." Coco replied "No matter where we go, or wherever we may be, I know we just come back here. Right?"

"Yeah of course…" Crash said cheerfully.

"That's good…" Coco smiled "Crash, do not ever change."

"Huh?" asked Crash as Coco stood up.

"I just can't wait, once we set sail. It's will be great." Coco said as she and Crash looked at the sea.

Back at Sega Castle:

"Knuckles, sorry I took off like this, but there is something weird going on. I'm not sure why, but the stars are disappearing one by one. Sorry about this, but I must go check it out. We need to find someone who holds the "key". We must find him or we're doomed. Go to Traverse Town and find Mario. He points you in the right direction. PS. Please tell Sally that I'm sorry. Thanks cousin. Signed King Sonic".

"Oh dear… what does it means?" asked Rouge.

"It means… we just have to trust the king" Sally said.

"I hope he is alright" said Knuckles.

"Your highness… don't worry" said Shadow "we'll find Sonic and this key."

"Thank you both of you." Sally said.

"Rouge…" said Knuckles "can you take care of the…"

"Of course… you'd be careful now, both of you" said Rouge.

"Oh, and to help you on your journey… he will accompany you" said Sally pointing to the table.

The 2 looked confused. Just then a little baby monkey with a white helmet appeared.

"His name is Pipotchi" said Rouge.

"We hope for our safe return" said Sally "Please, help the king."

Knuckles and Shadow saluted.

Down the stairways…

"Man, Pipotchi, so your world has disappeared as well" said Knuckles.

"Pipo…" (Translation: It was terrible. We were scattered. And as far I as concerned, I am the only one who made it to this castle).

"Knuckles?" Shadow asked.

"Right… I gotcha. Now I see… when we are in other world, we can't get back from where we are from. We gotta protect the world border!" Knuckles said.

"It's 'Order'!" Shadow said.

"Whatever… World Order…" Knuckles sighed as they got onto their ship (which was built by Tails) and took off from their world to Terserve Town.

At Crash's house, Crash sat on his bed wondering what it would be like. It is night time now. Crash thought about what Coco said to him before they went home.

"I can't wait… once we set flight… it will be great…" Coco's voice said in his head.

Crash looked out of the window.

"A storm?" he said as he saw the clouds go black. "Oh no! The rocket!"

He jumped out of bed, got dressed and flew out of the window. His mum was shouting through the door.

"Crash! Dinner's ready! Come on down! Crash?"

Crash ran to the beach. He saw a black portal. "What's that?" he said as he landed. He looked at the bags on the gate. "Crunch's bag. And Coco's".

Then black things came out. Crash gasped. Crash tried to spin on them, which took them out, but more are coming. Crash noticed Crunch by the edge of the beach. He ran up to him.

"Where's Coco?" I thought she was with you?" asked Crash.

"The door… it's opened…"

"Huh?" asked Crash.

"The door has opened, Crash!" said Crunch, turning to him, "now we can go to the outside world…"

"What are you're talking about? We have to find Coco!" shouted Crash.

"Coco's coming with us! Once we stepped through, we will never come back. We never see our friends again, there's no turning back. But we can't let fear stop us. I'm not afraid of the darkness!"

Crunch reached out a hand towards Crash.

"…Crunch…" Crash said.

The black stuff came onto Crunch. Crash tried to rescue him but his legs were caught too. He tried to reached Crunch but missed. Then darkness took over. Then a light came. Crash was freed and he was holding a blade, which looked like a key.

"What the…?"

"Keyblade… Keyblade…" said a mysterious voice, the same one that Crash had when he was dreaming.

Crash used the Keyblade and defeated the black things then ran to the cave where he met that man. One black thing is standing in the hand, but Crash took it out with the Keyblade. He entered the cave and he was shocked to see who else is in there.

"Coco!"

Coco turned. She looked like a zombie because her eyes look blank.

"…Crash…"

The door burst opened and Crash covered his eyes. Coco was caught through the mist. Crash tried to catch her but she disappeared.

"COCO!!! SISTER!"

The mist carried Crash out of the cave. Crash looked around. The portal is near. He looked down and gasped. The place is now in midair and everything was going towards it. Crash turned around and saw the huge black thing he saw in his dream. Crash used the Keyblade and took some damage on it. The monster sent more little ones but Crash took care of them. Crash spins on it to finish off the monster.

The monster flew in the portal, as everything was about to disappear. Crash tried to hold on but he lost grip and flew into the portal.

Then the world disappeared.

To be continued…
