Fate of Crash & Coco
Crash was lazing in the sun, as per usual, until an increasingly annoying voice woke him.
"Crash! Crash! Get up, you lazy bandicoot! Look what I found! It's a hut- and no-one's in!"
Too tired to care, Crash closed his eyes and began to snore. Coco went away to the newly found hut, sighing and chuntering about how little Crash does to help her and various things one would say if they had a lazy-ass brother.
After three hours, Crash finally got up, and realised Coco had left a trail of Wumpa Fruit leading to the hut. Feeling terrible about how lazy he was, he opened the hut door apologetically and made a grunt representing "Sorry".
Coco, who was on her laptop, stood up, and said "It's okay- but look at what I've found- it's a tribal mask of some sort..." Crash knew it well- the rectangular face, the orange eyes with green linings on the bottom- the 4 feathers- blue, yellow, red and purple. This was that protective mask that had helped him whenever he broke a crate with it's picture on. Crash smiled at Coco, wiped the dust off the mask, and then jerked back and dropped it as the thing sneezed. But, when dropped, the mask didn't hit the floor- he just floated back up and said "Thank you... Crash is it? I'm grateful that you woke me up... you see, I've been protecting you for two games now, and I thought you would have to return the favour. I am Aku Aku, and I will be your guide and friend for the rest of the series."
Crash and Coco looked bemused at the breaking of the 4th wall, but soon recovered, and allowed Aku Aku to tell them many stories of the past. Life was good, for a while, until evil laughing was heard in the distance...
