Sword Showoff

As Kahad and his two guards were heading to Wumpa, Kahad was feeling so confident. As he gripped tightly on his glistering gold sword that had the handle made out of ruby, he smiled to himself.

Kade: Something wrong Kahad?

Kadus: Yes, you are smiling to yourself.

Kahad: Ah, you'll see why the smile appears when the fun of sword fighting begins!

Kade: Ah, can't wait!

AT WUMPA

Coco was on her laptop and sitting next to a tree next to the doominator, Aku Aku was guarding the chicken coop in case any mutants tried to steal some. That was, for food and ammunition. Crash was walking in a straight line for a few seconds and then turned around. He kept doing that in front of Coco.

Coco: Crash.

No answer.

Coco: Crash!

Crash: Huh? Oh, what sis?

Coco: Don't you have anything else for you to do?

Crash: (Scratching his head) Uh, not really.

Coco: Well I think you should (Gasp)

Crash: What?

Coco: Um Crash. I think there is three knights walking towards you!

Crash: (Pushing his hand forward) Geez Coco! You've been reading too many fantasy books!

Kahad: (Whispering) I'm afraid she is not.

Crash: (Flinched) Huh?

Crash slowly turned around and saw the three knights all in a small arrow formation. Kahad was in the front and Kade and Kadus were standing behind him. Crash backed up towards Coco.

Crash: (Whimpering) Are you knights?

Kahad: Yes Crash.

Kade: And it is under the king's duty to kill you!

Crash: What king?

Kadus: It is King Cortex who gave us the orders.

Crash and Coco: CORTEX?!

Kahad: That's right.

Kade: Now you have two choices.

Crash: What?

Kadus: Seems to me that Cortex only gave one order to kill you bandicoots. But we decided to give you a second chance.

Coco: (Standing up and putting her laptop away) A second chance of what?

Kade: You can choose to surrender.

Kadus: And come with us to the castle.

Crash: Hmm. I think I'll go with the first one.

Coco: WHAT?!

Crash jumped up and spin kicked Kade. Kade just dodged but tried to stab Crash in the chest. He missed and Crash punched Kadus in the chest.

Kadus: Whoa!

Crash tackled him down to the ground and started to grab his sword. Coco was shocked by what her own brother was doing but when Kade was about to jump and stab Crash, Coco jumped up and shoved him down to the ground. Kahad just stood there scowling at them.

Kahad: A bit weaker than I thought they would!

Kahad just walked forward and kicked Coco off of Kade. Then Kahad just pushed Crash off of Kadus.

Crash and Coco: OOF!

Kade and Kadus jumped up and tried to stab Crash and Coco but Kahad stopped them.

Kahad: Easy now! You know that those bandicoots are too weak!

Coco: (Dusting herself out) in your opinion that is!

Kade: So what do we do?

Kahad: Like I said, we'll go easy on them!

Kadus: Alright then!

Kade: Why do you mean we are going easy?

Kahad: Simple. All you have to do is go easy!

Kadus: Yes. Can't be simpler than that!

Kade: Very well.

Kahad: Just go easy on them for starters.

Crash: (Pointing out his index finger) Oh huh! So it looks like these knights are mocking us huh!

Kade: Yes.

Crash ran forward and tried to jump and tackle Kahad to the ground but Kahad simply just shoved him away from him into a nearby tree.

Crash: OOF!

Coco watched in horror as Kadus ran forward and cut the tree branch above Crash. Within seconds leaves had collapsed on top of Crash.

Crash: AH!

Coco ran forwards and then landed a forwarding roundhouse kick on Kadus. Kadus stumbled back but then lunged at Coco. Coco jumped away and then had landed an uppercut on Kadus. Kade ran forward and tried to punch Coco but she ducked and kicked him in the stomach.

Kade: Looks like you're going your hardest now!

Kade tried to jump kick on Coco but Coco looked at his direction and ducked. She then landed a full three sixty roundhouse kick on Kade. Kadus ran up and then tried to punch Coco but she rolled away and then spined her whole self in a whole three sixty degrees with her legs striking Kadus. Kadus tripped and back rolled when he touched the ground. Crash finally threw the leaves out of his way and then whacked Kahad. Kahad stumbled forward but then rolled backward and then moved Crash's legs upward. Crash was soared into the air and then he rolled backward. Coco shoved Kahad away but Kahad kicked her in the arm.

Coco: YOW!

Just then, Crunch arrived back and what he saw of what was happening to Coco and Crash, he was in pure disbelief.

Crunch: No way!

Crunch started shooting at the three knights. Kahad simply just took out his shield and blocked all of them. Kade and Kadus ran forward attempting to stop Crunch. Crunch backed off slowly shooting more rockets as he went but then he tripped on a stone and rolled backward towards Wumpa falls.

Crunch: WHOA!

Crash and Coco: CRUNCH!

Crunch splashed into the shallow water. Kadus jumped towards him but Crunch kicked him upwards. Kadus was sent flying into the air and landed on the grass.

Kadus: (Muttering) I should've known!

Kahad: Well, I had made a big mistake too.

Kade: What is it?

Kahad: We had begun this battle without a plan!

Kade: So we have to go back to the castle to make a plan?

Kahad: Yes. So we can make this kill faster and turn that kill to an overkill!

Kadus: Ah, what a wonderful idea!

Kahad: Yes! Now retreat! Immediately!

Kade: Yes sir.

Kahad, Kadus, and Kade scrambled away from Wumpa. Crash tried to run after them but Coco grabbed his arm.

Crash: What are you doing Coco? Let me go!

Coco: No Crash! If they come up with a better plan, they will seriously hurt you. Or worse!

Crunch: Yeah Crash! You are really going to to take that risk?

Crash: Yes! I mean…

Coco: Exactly!

Crash: (Sigh) No.

Crunch: Let's just wait for them!

Crash: What's the point anyway?

Coco: They are probably they are just bluffing.

Crunch: Yeah.

Crash: Well I am going up there!

Coco: Crash-

Crash: NO! I am going to go up there, and you and Crunch are not going to stop me!

Crunch: Crash, you can't-

Crash started to walk up there. Coco and Crunch grabbed him but before he even realized what he was doing, he whacked both of Coco and Crunch in the face and then kicked them in the torso. Coco and Crunch stumbled back and lay still.

Crash's Mind: I had to do it!

Crash's head was getting sweaty now. Crash touched his head and then continued up towards Cortex Castle. Whatever it was, Crash had to K.O both Coco and Crunch in order to go to Cortex Castle. He knew that he couldn't go without their permission but his instincts told him to. But Crash felt a little uneasy about his plan.

Crash's Mind: I wonder if I had made the right choice.

Crash was getting even sweatier now. And when he picked up a Wumpa fruit on the way to the castle, within a split second the fruit slipped off. Crash wiped his hands to his pants and picked up the Wumpa fruit. He bit into it a chewed rather hastily. He needed all his energy for what was to come.

Crash's Mind: Did I really make the right choice?

But the only way to figure out if he was right was to take that risk of going to Cortex Castle.
