Introduction

Crash Bandicoot was once living wild and free until that night when the big black hearse rolled up. A man with a crazed look in his eyes stood out and captured him. Crash awoke in a laboratory and was cruelly tested for the 'evolvo-ray' which had killed 40 other animals before. Crash got out with his memory wiped-clean he soon felt a love interest a human named Maria who was killed in a cortex-vortex test. Crash Bandicoot Now remains to this day in cortex's castle.

Chapter 1

The slaves

The cold morning at cortex castle was always dreaded by the failures. Crash Bandicoot rubbed the wet and cold dew of his orange fur the first to awake were already been kicked around by Mastris a mutated weasel "C'mon! Lazy rejects. Up to work!" Mastris shouted to everyone in vicinity. Crash clicked the cage open and stepped out when suddenly he heard a loud shrill scream. The door to the tower swung open, (a wretched assistant of Dr. Cortex) strolled out with a robotic lab assistant carrying a mutated dormouse out with tape over its mouth. "Get rid of it! Stupid Cortex! It was great till he shoved it in the Cortex Vortex. God! We need to do more testing!" Brio dumped the dormouse on the lawn and retreated back into the tower. Tiger (Crash's only friend after Maria died) was thrown onto the ground by Mastris "Lazy maggot! I never defied the will of ." He yelled, "oy, leave him alone!"Shouted Crash "There's a storm coming pal." Whispered Mastris under his breath.

ZAP!!!KA-BOOM!!! Electricity arched around the room. The Cortex Vortex hurled itself against the wall. rose from the smoking rubble and said "I told you! We're practically creating mutants and incinerating them!" "It wasn't my fault it didn't work properly" Said Cortex. "Oy, you slave, clean this mess up!" Yelled to a spine titan who ran over and immediately began lifting the rubble "Hurry up!" said Dr. Cortex to the titan. It lifted a charred metal pipe, a concrete ball, a pile of ash and a boiling hot chair. It groaned in pain "oh, be quiet!"he said kicking the poor creature. The titan said something rude under its breath and continued working. pulled out a gold-coloured potion and pored it into a bowl of brown dust "Mus'well start again" he sighed, Cortex dumped a orange bar into the bowl and said "We could try something new" slammed the bowl into a machine and growled "One day, Cortex you will pay for your aggorance"

"Filthy creature!" Mastris shouted and whipped Tiger "Move!" Tiger rose his back aching and continued his forced labour. A huge explosion rocked the courtyard and the tallest tower blew to pieces. "Another experiment gone wrong" Mastris murmured.

"Not again!" yelled Cortex "See, Cortex even worse results" said . Cortex looked around "well maybe we could properly work it with a power surge from the Nitro boxes underneath the castle." said Cortex. "That's not a bad idea, actually its brilliant!" said Brio, suddenly lighting up.
