A/N: Sorry for the delay again, but I decided to some changes to the story. Anyway, here's chapter 6.
Chapter 6: Hip Hop's pride and Crash's farewell:
Keith is still standing on a pillar as the warriors raised again. Lars was with them this time. Crash decided to use his sword this time around. Keith spot it and smirked.
"Heheheh, if you would just let me kill you a few hours ago, you wouldn't have to struggle like this" Keith cackled as he draws out his own sword "You all are complete waste of bandicoot blood!"
Crash charged, sword in hand and tried to slash him but Keith keeps dodging. Lars joins in by attacking but he too can't hit him. Keith then grabbed both Crash's and Lars' necks.
"Take this!" Benjamin and Crunch fired their beam attacks. Keith pushed Crash and Lars away and take it as it did no effect and he leaps to the ground. Lars flew down after him.
Keith saw Lars flying down and headbutted him in the stomach and kicked him away. Benjamin and Crunch flies in to stop Keith from harming Lars. But Keith hit them away and charged at Lars, as he kicked him in the air and used his KI blast to sent him flying to where Hip Hop is.
Juba wanted to stay and help Crash but Tani just drag her away to a safe spot.
"Juba, we have to go!" Tani said.
"But, what about Crash?!" Juba asked.
"He'll be fine" Tani said "he will always be fine!" She then noticed the sadness on Juba's face. "You really love him, don't you?"
Juba blushed and looked up to her. She then nodded "Yes I do. But I was afraid I might lose him."
"Don't worry. As long he's with Crunch" Tani said "he'll be fine." She then thought 'Crunch, be careful.'
Lars climbed up to see a shaken Hip Hop on his hands and knees.
"It's no use. This is the end" Hip Hop said.
Lars grabbed the bandicoot by the head and held him up "What're you think you're doing? Why don't you stop whining like a baby and fight like a man?!"
"Why? What for? Keith's unbeatable!" Hip Hop said.
"And you call yourself Crash's rival and the prince of bandicoots?" Lars asked disgusted as he flew back to the battlefield taking Hip Hop with him.
Keith locked swords with Crash as they begin their sword fight in the air. Keith saw Crunch coming and used a ki blast to hit Crunch. Crash looked shocked at this, and was distracted allowing Keith to slash him across the chest. Crash's chest was bleeding hard and Keith punched him away as he kicked Benjamin in the gut.
"We must escape. This is a fight we can't win" Hip Hop said as he and Lars arrive.
Lars held him hard on the hair "It doesn't matter if we escape. If we don't kill him right now, he'll destroy the entire universe!"
"But there's no point in fighting him! He's the Legendary Super Bandicoot!" Hip Hop said.
"I can't believe how cowardly you're acting, Hip Hop!" Lars said "Just stand clear of the true warriors." He dropped Hip Hop and flew away.
'Why? Why do they continue to fight in vain?' Hip Hop thought as he fell onto an old building and just laid there. "He'll kill us all!"
Once again, Keith managed to defeat Crunch and manage to take out Lars' light out. Crash crashed in a building and fell onto the ground, his sword sticking out of the ground. He grasped his bloody chest as he checked his damage.
"I know that I'm tough, but I am no match for him like this" Crash said as he take out his sword again and charged at Keith, who is using his sword to shoot out blasts at him. Crash deflected away with his sword. "HEY! What don't you say you give us a handicap?" He ran towards him again.
"Is that another word for coffin?" Keith mocked as he fired more blasts from his sword. Crash moved back away as he felt the damage. As Keith walks towards him, Crash decided to do one last chance. He held his sword as it powers it.
'If this doesn't work, nothing will' Crash said "SWORD BEAM!"
As Keith was closed, Crash held his sword forwards and fired a huge beam attack at Keith engulfing him. But when the smoke died down, Keith was unaffected.
Crash was so very worried at this as Keith impaled his chest with his sword and lifted him high.
Keith drives his sword out of Crash and then a strong uppercut send him flying out of the city and onto the wastelands. Juba and Tani are there.
"CRASH!" Juba gasped.
Hip Hop just stood there and just in time, recovered his pride.
"A mere crunch fighting a mere army" he grasped his fists "but I can't just stand here and do nothing!" He powered up into a Super Bandicoot again and flew off towards the battle.
Benjamin got out of the rubble and looked shocked as Hip Hop flew by.
"Hip Hop?" Benjamin asked.
"Now you face me, the Prince of all Bandicoots!" Hip Hop shouted.
"Heh, then I'll enjoy watching you die" Keith said as he spotted him.
Hip Hop moved in for a punch but Keith moved away. He used his legs and bend over to hit Keith's shoulders. He then leaps off and punched Keith in the chin but it didn't do anything as Keith smirked.
Hip Hop leaps back and threw KI blasts at him as Keith advances, but it did no good. Benjamin leaps in to help to fire a KI blast himself only to get Keith uppercut him and he flew out of the city and landed where Crash.
"Benjamin!" Tani gasped.
Then Lars came in with Crunch around his shoulders.
"Crunch!" Tani hugged him "Are you alright?"
"No. I am so hurt" Crunch said "this Keith guy is stronger than he looks."
"And the comet is coming closer" Lars said.
Benjamin rose to his feet. "W…What do we do now?"
Crash looked up in then sky and frowns. He ripped off his shirt and jacket and became a Super Bandicoot again. He takes out the teleporter and gives it to Crunch.
"Crunch, take Juba, Tani, Lars, Hip Hop and Benjamin and get out of here. Go back to Earth" Crash said.
"Are you crazy? What about you?" asked Lars.
"I'm staying here. The comet gonna tear this planet apart. I will take Keith with me" Crash said "This is the last time I may see you guys. But… I have to do it."
"You're gonna die on this planet?" asked Benjamin shocked.
"Tell Coco and Spyro that I am sorry" Crash said "Tell them I had to do this!"
"No!" Juba cried to Crash "I won't leave you!"
"Juba! This isn't about you and me anymore. It's stopping Keith in his tracks."
"Crash, please! Don't die! Please, I love you!"
Crash looked at Juba in shocked. He then smiled and pulled Juba into a hug.
"I love you too. I am sorry we can't be together, but promise me you'll be safe on Earth" Crash said.
Juba start to swell out tears and sobbed in his chest. "I promise. But please, don't leave me."
"I can't promise you that, but I will never forget you" Crash said as he kissed Juba on the cheek. Juba looked shocked as Crash broke their hug. He turned to Crunch. "Crunch, get going now!"
Crunch nodded "OK. You're a brave hero, Crash. Your sacrifice will not be in vain, my friend. I'll fight Cortex on your behalf."
"Thanks Crunch. Now get Hip Hop and let's get out of here!" Crash said as he walks away.
"Crash…" Juba watched as her loved one leave. Tani held Juba as they, Benjamin and Lars held onto Crunch. Crunch first teleported to where Hip Hop would be.
Meanwhile, Keith slammed Hip Hop into a huge rock wall causing a crater. He squeezed his head against it.
"What? Finished already?" Keith asked as Hip Hop lost his super transformation and fell into darkness. "So it's true. You are all talk and no action. The true piece of trash."
He powered up more and laughed. Below, Crunch and the others collected an unconscious Hip Hop Crash and Crunch set the coordinates to Earth.
"Crash, kill Keith for us" Crunch said as they teleported away safely back to Earth.
Harris was making his way towards a small sphere ship as he was about to escape from the planet.
"It'll be a short hours since this planet and everyone on this planet will be wiped out" Harris said "I wish it didn't have to come to this, but it must. Now that I can't control him anymore, Keith, my beloved son, is nothing to me now. You were just a thought in the back of my head. I'm sorry son, but you'll die with this planet."
Harris got into his ship and the door closed. But before he could escaped.
"Where do you think you're going, dad?" Harris was shocked. Keith had found him. He has suspected he was trying to escape.
Harris was in horror. "P…Preparing the rocket so we could escape the explosion."
He was lying. Keith didn't brought it. "In a rocket, built for one person?"
Keith then grabbed the rocket and the glass of the ship breaks as Keith lifts it up in the air and crushes it with Harris inside it. He was screaming in pain.
"What kind of an end to life is this? Crushed by your only son who once saved your life?" Harris screamed as he was crushed and killed.
Keith laughed madly and then threw the crushed ship at the comet. Harris is dead.
"Did he really think I would die just because this planet is about to explode?" asked Keith.
Keith then turned to see Crash walking up to him. He got very angry as Crash slowly walked up to him.
"You scum. Still got some fight in you?" Keith snarled.
Crash had the crystals and the gems ready. He spotted in front of Keith who is on a cliff.
"Keith, everyone else went back to Earth. Now it's just you and me" Crash said.
"So it's you and me huh? Good. I was done with those riff-raffs anyway" Keith said.
Crash draws out his sword and pointed it outwards. "This ends here!"
The real final battle has begun.
To be continued…
A/N: Can Crash stop Keith and escape the planet? Or will Keith have his revenge? Stayed tuned.
