Same old Routine
Crash grunted as his alarm clock awoke him. It had been 5 years since CoCo's death. Crash was never the same. Cortex on the other hand had prospered greatly. He forever had the psychological advantage over Bandicoot. Cortex managed to build an entire army of androids. With an endless supply of minions and Crash in his current state of mind, Cortex quickly took over. He made an example out of China, using a power space satellite attack laser to destroy several major cities with one shot.
1.3 billion Chinese people were vaporized. The United States was the next to fall. Always being a strong country, America refused to surrender so easily. Cortex quickly broke that spirit. Using his space laser combined with new and improved androids created by , Cortex crushed the United States. The rest of the world, fearing similar results, surrendered immediately. Crash attempted to stop Cortex, but always fell short. He managed to rescue a few people. He, Crunch, Aku Aku, and the survivors managed to take refuge on a group of hidden Wumpa Islands. The survivors, ranging from humans to Bandicoots alike managed to build a city without being discovered. With The Bandicoots presumed dead, Uka Uka and Cortex took the role of Overlords, creating a dystopia, yet futuristic dictatorship.
On the Wumpa City Islands, Crash now spent his days drinking at the bar.
"Hey Jack, give me the usual" Crash grunted as he took a seat.
"Crash, what happened to you? You went from savior of the world to a cynical alcoholic drunk" Jack replied as he served Crash a glass of vodka.
"As much as I'd love to take a walk down memory lane, that won't change a damn thing" Crash said, quickly finishing the vodka.
"C'mon, it's been 5 years you can't keep blaming yourself" Jack attempted to talk some sense into crash.
Suddenly, Crunch ran into the bar.
"Crash, come quickly, Aku Aku says he has something important"
"Ugh tell him I'm on my way" Crash said as he grabbed his bottle of vodka.
15 minutes later
"Crash, glad you could make it. I've got great news" Aku announced.
"What is it?"
"I've stumbled upon Dr. N Brio's laser which he used to destroy Cortex's space station a few years ago as well as CoCo's VR Hub System" Aku informed the duo
"So?" Crash replied, uninterested.
"So? So we can use the VR HUB to transport around the world to destroy the crystals powering Cortex's army." Aku answered.
"But we risk giving up our location which would allow cortex to destroy us with his Satellite laser" Crunch pointed out.
"I've already thought of that, which is why I modified the VR HUB to allow us to travel through time and collect 20 assorted gems needed to destroy Cortex's satellite which would in turn allow us destroy the 7 crystals undetected." Aku said.
"Looks like Team Bandicoot is back in action" Crunch yelled excitedly.
"Hold on a minute, what makes you think we could actually defeat Cortex" Crash said.
"Crash, don't you get it? After destroying Cortex's army, we invade his headquarters and you could finally get your revenge. So are you in or not?" Aku Aku asked.
Crash thought for a minute before smirking and saying "Count me in".
