A year has passed since Cortex's defeat at Crash's and Nathan's hands, and the evil doctor is up to no good again. This time, Cortex needs Crash's assistance to obtain power crystals for a reason that is unknown to the orange hero, and there is another group that are also after the crystals, which Nathan leads. Can Crash trust Cortex this time, or is he going to let Cortex win?

Chapter 1

It is one year later after Neo Cortex found the giant crystal, and he was looking at the Earth from the space station he 'borrowed' from NASA and modified for living space as well as the place to hide the Cortex Vortex 2.0.

"Doctor Cortex?"

The yellow skinned man turned to his assistant, who was a man shorter than Cortex.

"What is it, N. Gin?" Cortex replied to the man who had a metal faceplate that covered half of his head and a rocket lounged into his skull, which is a result of an accident in a rocket factory.

"We have a problem." The nearly destroyed man announced.

"It is…?" Cortex asked.

"We need twenty-five lesser crystals to power the Cortex Vortex." N. Gin replied.

"I know that!" Cortex roared at N. Gin, "I've already had five of them."

"And we have no Earth bound operatives." N. Gin added.

"I know that as well." Cortex growled, remembering the reason of the lack of the operatives: a werewolf.

Cortex returned to the sight of the Earth as he thought about what to do. Then, he remembered someone who he hated greatly for the past year.

"Maybe…" Cortex mused himself.

Someone who stopped him from taking over the world.

"if there are no more allies on Earth…"

Someone who was suppose to be a part of his army.

"we need an enemy."

Someone like Crash Bandicoot.

Cortex grinned evilly; he was going to take over the world and get his revenge on Crash Bandicoot in a single plan.
