Just a small warning, this chapter is pretty graphic and bloody. So if you have a weak story then you may need to be careful.

Coco and Aku arrived at the tenth Dimension. Coco was shocked at how red and dark it was. There was also a lot of fighting between some of the prisoners going on.

"Uka took over this place when he was sentenced here." Aku said. "He controls this place." Suddenly one of the prisoners a four legged green alien walked up to Coco.

"Well look what we have here? Looks like we got ourselves a babe."

"We don't get many chicks around here." Another prisoner a bird like creature said. "Why don't you come with me and I'll show you the town." He said grabbing Coco's arm.

"I don't think so." Coco said pulling it back then punching him. The creature then pulled out a knife.

"You got some fight in you I see. That's ok I like a chick with some fight in her." That's when Aku zapped both of the prisoners and knocked them out.

"Stay away from her" He said then they heard laughter coming from a distance.

"That's Uka let's go. Then they ran toward the direction of the laughter till they saw Uka sitting on his thrown. He then noticed Aku.

"After so many years you have finally come back to visit me brother. Tell me why you are here?"

"Please Uka I am here to beg you please release Crash." Uka just laughed.

"Release Crash? You come all this way just to ask me to release Crash and you think I will just give him away. I like my favorite decoration right where he is." Then Uka turned and showed them Crash hovering in the air lifeless over a table with a force field surrounding him. "He really ties the place together." Uka laughed

"Crash!" Coco cried running up to him.

"He can't hear you he is trapped in suspended animation. He sacrificed himself to me by choice to save you pathetic people. And you think you can just ask for him back and I will give him to you? You are more foolish then I thought."

"Please brother we will do anything just please let us have him back?" Aku begged.

"Now look at this." Uka laughed. "My good twin brother begging like a slave to his evil twin brother. You really want him back then you must prove you are willing to do anything."

"What do you want?" Coco asked.

"You female bandicoot must prove you are willing to take another person's life you are to fight in the Rome Empire in a gladiator match in the Roman collusiam. You must fight the champion gladiator and kill him and carve out his heart and bring it to me. You win and you can have your pathetic champion back. You fail and your soul will belong to me forever. Do we have a deal?"

Coco was hesitant but then she looked over at Crash's body hovering the air then she reluctantly agreed. "Deal"

"Then let the games begin." Then Uka sent them to the Roman Empire. She found herself in a room in the Roman collasium. In the room was armor and weapons for the gladiator match.

"Are you really going to do this Coco?" Aku asked.

"I have no choice Aku." Coco said as she started changing for the battle. "I have to save Crash. I can't let Uka have control of him forever."

"Let me help you then in the battle. Absorb me and let me protect you through this battle"

"I can't let you do that Aku." Coco said as she put the breast plate and helmet on. "I have to do this by myself. Uka won't give us Crash if he finds out you helped me out. I have to do this on my own."

"There's also a chance that he won't keep his end of the bargain anyway. My brother is sneaky he can't be trusted.

"That's the chance I will have to take but if there is any chance at all that he does keep his side of the deal then I will have to do this my way."

"I just don't want to lose you too."

"Aku I'm not that scared little teenage girl that you found on that island years ago. I am nearly twenty years old. I can fend for myself. I will be find. Crash taught me well." Then she hugged Aku grabbed her sword and shield and walked out to the battle arena. She saw a huge crowd she entered the battle arena and she saw the emperor sit down in the stadium to witness the fight.

"I never thought I would be acting out the gladiator movie." Coco said

"Be careful Coco a lot of these gladiators are criminals and slaves." Aku said.

"Let the games begin." The emperor said then the door on the other side of the arena opened and out

Came the gladiators armed to the teeth and ready to kill her. Coco charged them and the first gladiator swung his sword at Coco but she blocked it with her sword and they clashed swords for a few seconds before Coco got the upper hands and sliced off his hand then jabbed her sword through his chest. She then turned around and saw another gladiator coming at her but Coco jabbed her sword through his heart then used him as a human shield as another gladiator tried to attack her. The gladiator pierced his sword through the other gladiator hoping to get to Coco but it missed piercing her by a few inches then Coco threw her human shield on top of the other gladiator knocking them both down on the ground and then taking her sword she pierced her sword through the already dead gladiator and through the other gladiator killing him. With three gladiators down Coco took her shield and threw it at one hitting him in the forehead knocking him down then took a knife out of her pocket and threw it at another one stabbing him in the neck. Coco saw another one coming at her then she leaped up in the air landing on top of his neck then she slit his throat with her sword. Then the gladiator she hit with the shield got back on his feet just long enough for Coco to run up and decapitate him. With half the gladiators gone Coco then turned and saw another gladiator raise his sword about to strike her. Coco ducked and slid under the guy's legs as the sword hit the ground barely missing her. Coco then leaped on the guy's neck out of harms reach. Another gladiator saw her on him and instead of waiting for her to get off he pierced his sword through the guys chest hoping to strike Coco, but she leaped off him just in time and grabbed the dead gladiators sword she used both hers and his sword and positioning the swords like scissors she leaped at the gladiator and cut off his head causing blood to splatter all over her. With her blood stained swords she noticed only three gladiators left they each starting coming after her from different sides. She blocked one gladiator's sword with one sword, and another sword with the other. But she saw the other gladiator coming at her from in front. Having to think fast she kicked him in the head and leaped in the air and grabbing one gladiator by the neck she landed right behind him and slid the sword through his back. She then leaped in the air and sank one of the swords through the top of one's head and through the chin. Then she took her other sword and pierced it through the last ones heart. Thinking that was the last of them she raised her bloody sword in victory but to her surprise the emperor spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen through that door on your right I present to you undefeated world champion. Sirus the great!" The crowd cheered as Sirus rode out in a horse drawn chariot sword in one hand and an ax in the other. He was waiving them in the air to stir the crowd.

"This must be the one whose heart Uka wants" Coco said to herself as she saw him step out of the chariot. He was huge and covered head to toe in silver armor. He was twice the size of Coco in both body and wait. Coco had to admit she was a little scared of this guy especially when she saw him walking towards her twirling that ax in his hand.

"Let the battle begin." The emperor said. Then Sirus charged Coco at full speed. He raised his ax and swung it at Coco but she grabbed her shield and blocked it. The ax got stuck in the shield and Sirus threw it and the shield to the side. He then took out his sword while Coco grabbed a second sword. Sirus swung the sword at Coco but with her two swords she blocked his sword. They clashed swords as the audience cheered. Sirus swung his sword again causing Coco to duck but she ended up getting a slight scratch on her face from his sword. Coco then slid under his legs as the sword came down. Sirus turned around and attacked again. They clashed swords a few more times before Coco leaped over onto his back and took out a knife and stabbed him in his back. Sirus yelled in pain but grabbed Coco and threw her against the wall. Coco struggled to get up as she saw Sirus charging her again but she rolled out of the way as he slung the sword down. Coco then got back on her feet despite her side hurting from being thrown against the wall. She refused to be defeated. She could not fail Crash. Sirus charged Coco again and he once again swung his sword down at her causing Coco to block them with her two swords. She felt Sirius trying to weigh down on her considering the swords were only a couple of inches from her face. Both sweat and blood were pouring down Coco's face. But with her last bit of strength she gained the upper hand and sliced Sirus's hands off causing the sword to go flying in the air and landing on the other side of the arena then Coco took her two swords and pierced them through Sirius's chest then pulled them out causing him to fall to the ground. Coco then put her foot on his chest and raised her sword in victory as the crowd cheered. She then turned to the emperor. The emperor gave the thumbs down signal signaling for Coco to kill Sirus. Coco looked down at Sirus and could see the fear and sadness in his eyes and it made her feel sad. Even though he tried to kill her he was just doing his job as a gladiator. But Coco couldn't let her emotions get to her she had to rescue Crash. Sirus closed his eyes and stretched out his neck as Coco raised her sword.

"Forgive me." Coco said as she swung her sword down cutting off Sirus's head to the sound of a cheering crowd. Coco then took out her knife and cut out the heart of Sirus as blood splattered all over her face, chest, and hair. Coco then reached in Sirus's chest and pulled his heart out and put it in a wooden chess to take to Uka. The sight almost made Coco sick but she carried on with it. She then went to Aku.

"The deed is done let's go." Then with that they were blasted back to present day. When they were back in the tenth dimension Coco went back to Uka and opened the chest and showed him the heart.

"I did what you asked now keep your end of the deal."

"Yes you did do as I commended." Uka said. Then he opened the force field and sent Crash's soul back into him. Crash fell to the ground alive. Coco then ran up to him as he gained consciousness.

"Crash can you hear me? Are you alright?" Crash then turned and looked at Coco.

"Coco!" Crash said with a smile.

"Crash!" Coco cried with tears of joy as she hugged her big brother.

"You got your prize now get out of here!" Uka yelled. Then with that Aku blasted them back to their world. When they were gone a servant of Uka's walked up to him.

"Why did you let them walk away like that I thought you needed Crash for your plan?"

"Crash's usefulness is no longer needed Nolan." Uka said

"I'm afraid I don't understand." Nolan said

"Don't you see? By draining Destroyer's powers from Crash and by taking a DNA sample form him and cloning it. We have created an army of clones with Destroyer's powers. And now that Coco has provided us the heart of a worrier we can bring the clones to life with them and with these being actual living clones and not androids there is no need for any stupid machine." Then he took the heart and made a cloned copy of it and handed it to Nolan.

"Take this and make a thousand copies of it and put them in the clones. We must complete the army before Nina comes and frees me from my prison."

"Yes sir" Nolan said then he ran off and Uka took the heart and put it in one of the cloned copies of Crash. The Clone looked a lot like Crash but his fir was a dark red and he had fangs. Once the heart was placed the soul of Sirus entered the clone and the clone came to life.

"Arise!" Uka said

"Where am I?" The clone said "Where is this place?"

"I understand this must be confusing considering you were once a gladiator during the Roman empire. My name is Uka Uka The lord of evil and I want your help to destroy the universe."

"And why should I help you with this?" The clone said

"Because I brought your soul back to life in a new body when you was killed in the gladiator ring." Then the clone bowed down to him.

"I will do whatever you say my lord.

"Good now you have been equipped with new powers. Powers that you will learn to use individually when the time comes. And your name is no longer Sirus. Arise now Evil Crash Bandicoot.
