A/N: Man. I haven't have much to say, expect this. We get to find out what the evil inside Crash is planning. Anyway, enjoy.

Chapter 4: Controlling yourself:

When the heroes reached to the beach outside N. Gin's lair, Coco and Crunch saw how far away the lair is and laid down in disappointment.

"Look how far away it is!" Coco said.

"It's takes us 2 days to get there" Crunch said.

"Not necessary" Crash said "Aku and I took a short cut to get to N. Gin's lair. We can go there now."

"Follow us you two" Aku Aku said.

"Do they really know the right way?" asked Crunch.

As they reached to the waterfall, Crash spotted the same cave they entered before. But before they can enter, Crash once again fell down in the water.

He woke in darkness which covers him. He then turned around and gasped. His evil form is standing in front of him.

"You!" Crash said as he leapt back "You're the one who hurt Nina and Tiny!"

The nasty Crash smirked "Oh yes. I did do those things. I brought you here so we can talk."

"What do you mean? You are me, but who are you?" Crash snarled.

"Who am I? Why, people call me the real you, who you're supposed to be. The true Crash Bandicoot. But for you, Crash, you can call me Demon Crash!"

"Demon Crash?"

"That's right. And I had to say, I am quite angry with you at the moment" Demon Crash said "You stopped me every time when I tried to reach my complete form by bonding with you and still you fight back. That will end soon enough."

"W… What are you're planning to do?" Crash asked.

"Quite simple. I can sense Uka Uka powering up an new Evolvo-Ray nearby" Demon Crash said "powered up by the evil gems. I will use them to complete myself. And thus, you and I can be one."

"NO. NEVER! I WILL NEVER BE PART OF YOU!"

"You idiot. You don't have a choice" Demon Crash said "Darkness will once again ruled upon the earth and I shall be it's ruler."

"NO! I WON'T LET YOU!" Crash shouted "I'll keep fighting you so you can't emerge and control me."

"That's no way to treat an half of yourself" Demon Crash said "Too bad our meeting is over. We'll meet again, soon enough."

And with that he vanished and Crash awoken to see himself getting carried by Crunch.

"Erm… Crunch… what are you're doing?"

"You just passed out in the water, so I had to carry you. We're almost near N. Gin and N. Tropy anyway" Crunch said.

"Oh. I just met with Demon Crash" Crash said.

The others looked at him. Crunch put Crash down.

"Demon Crash? Is that his name?" asked Coco.

"Yeah. And his plan involves Uka Uka and the Evolvo-Ray." Crash said "he also said evil gems."

"Evil gems?" asked Coco "Aku, can something like this is possible?"

"I was afraid of this" Aku Aku said "while the mutants are released, the gems had lost their positive power. They turned evil. Uka Uka must be using it to make himself even more powerful when we face him."

"Well, I get the feeling it's not Uka Uka who will be powering himself up" Crash said "Demon Crash would do anything to get that power."

"Is it the Evolvo-Ray we're facing here?" asked Crunch.

"No. The Evolvo-Ray is not the laser gun" Aku Aku said "so we must get going if we want to stop Uka Uka from activating the Evolvo-Ray and allowing Demon Crash to take over Crash."

"Hey, guys. We're outside N. Gin and N. Tropy's lair" Coco said.

'You better not come out' Crash thought to Demon Crash, as if he could read minds.

As Crash pushed the door opened, they saw N. Gin and N. Tropy by the organ.

"You're too late, you little rats" N. Tropy said "the massive ray gun is almost ready. We shall kill your friends and then use it on Wumpa Island itself."

"Yess… Dr. Tropy… we shall rain doom all over you!" N. Gin said.

"In which case, we got to stop you!" Coco said.

"THEN LET'S DANCE BABY!" N. Gin said as he starts playing the organ. N. Tropy floated down in front of them.

"Hahaha. Dr. Cortex may not invited me to Titans, but… it looked like I have to kill you now" N. Tropy said.

N. Tropy twirl his fork and shot out energy blasts. The bandicoots dodged. For once, Crash is glad. His evil side did not show up this time. But then, he remembered what he said.

"He must be waiting we find Uka Uka" Crash said "well, I can worry about that later. Right now, I had to defeat N. Tropy with my own two hands."

Crash then saw N. Tropy's weakness. While he was firing his energy blast, all he had to do is attack him from behind. This was first noticed by Crunch as he slide under N. Tropy's legs and spins at him from behind knocking N. Tropy back. Coco then kicked N. Tropy to Crash. Crash did some combo on him before kicking him outside one of the door. Aku Aku then sealed the door.

Then they towards N. Gin and cornered him.

"Well, we won, N. Gin. Now you'll tell us where Pasadena and Spyro are don't you?" Crunch said.

"Of course not, you filthy bandicoots! I hate them with ketchup" N. Gin said. Then he starts talking to himself again. One, wanting to help Crash stop Demon Crash, and the other of Cortex, not helping him at all "OK. They're here now. Let's help them. NO! We follow the master's orders. But Crash is in great danger. So what?! Cortex will kill us if we help them!" At this, the bandicoots and Aku are confused.

"Why is he talking to himself?" asked Coco.

"If you figure it out, let me know" Crash said.

"OK. Here's what we do. We help these rodents and then we shall shower them with doom. Hehehehehehe" N. Gin giggled, but Crash yanked his rocket again while make N. Gin's shriek in pain "Please. Don't do that."

"Listen up, corn dog. You'll help us or Crash and Crunch will play you some knuckle music" Aku Aku said as Crash and Crunch raise their fists.

"OK. OK. I'll talk. Go to Uka Uka's lair and stop his Evolvo-Ray. Maybe you'll find your friends too." N. Gin said.

"Time to go, guys" Aku Aku said.

And he teleported them to Uka Uka's base.

Meanwhile, at Uka's base, Cortex was examine the Evolvo-Ray as Uka Uka circles around Pasadena and Spyro.

"Listen, Uka Uka. We heard what happened" Spyro pleaded "if you don't release us, Crash will fallen under Demon Crash's control. Please! Let us help him."

"Come on. Have a heart, Uka Uka!" Pasadena pleaded "have mercy on him. Let us save him!"

"SILENCE YOU TWO COWARDLY PRISONERS!" Uka Uka roared "I have no need to listen to your pleas."

"Believe me. You don't want him on his bad side" Cortex said "Good news, Uka. The Evolvo-Ray is now ready for their arrival."

"Good. I will use the evil gems and the Evolvo-Ray to make me more powerful than ever. Thus, I will kill Crash Bandicoot forever!" Uka Uka said.

"Yes. For once, everything is going according to plan" Cortex said "Nothing would fail us now… expect Crash's evil form."

"And why add that, Cortex?" Uka Uka threatened.

"Because he had already put Nina to near death and make Tiny look like he's in Full Monty."

"True. But with this power, not even his newly evil could stop me." Uka Uka said "Cortex, you'll take the possum and the dragon back to the base and finish the laser gun!"

"Yes, Uka. And you make sure to kill Crash!" Cortex said.

"Oh yes… I will kill Crash Bandicoot! Kill him forever!" Uka Uka cackled.

Inside the mid of darkness, Demon Crash was cackling evilly.

"Soon… soon… I will have the ultimate power. And the world shall crumble to my feet" he cackled and then he laughed evilly.
