Sorceress Castle
"Dammit! Who does he think he is?!"
The heroes look at a fuming Oz, trying to calm down after learning what his partner did. It had been an irresponsible thing for him to do, and if anything bad were to happen to him, the fault would be the Felinian's for not being there to protect him.
The first time they met, Scottie seem like he's the type of tech guy that would stay in his lab working on projects, make upgrades to his suit, and get Oz out of trouble by looking through the cameras of Metropolis.
To Oz, Scottie didn't seem...tough enough to survive if he would be in a dangerous situation. Even though the wolf help Slick and Alex with a crystal in the Warlands and help Crash and a crystal fused Aku Aku fight Nina and Uka Uka.
"Oz, he said something about gems on the ship. Why would they need it a gem in Neo Angeles?" Princess Sal asked, getting the former Prince back to reality.
Oz toss a cylinder device on the floor. After landing, the top of the device open up. A blue light glow and a picture of the gem Scottie sent projected in front of the heroes.
"Hm, those gems are different than ours. Bigger than ours even" Hunter pointed out to the hologram.
Dr. Tropy projected a hologram of his own, showing five small gems. Red, purple, green, yellow, and pinks
"This world's gems are different than these. Your gems were created by dragons of their realm. They're really used for currency nowadays.
The image changed to the gems that are bigger. The red gem Scottie sent was beside an emerald, sapphire, amethyst, and topaz
"Our gems as you can see were used as a secondary power behind the crystals. The colored gems held power and if in the wrong hands, it may do some damage. Even if the power is weak."
Handel scoffed, causing the others in the room to glare at him. "If the gems don't do much, why would a ruler like her need them? Why not go for crystals?"
The Time Master thought about it. Gems aren't much powerful and crystals are better. There is an explanation for his second question.
"Crystals have been on the brink of extinction for the past decade. Even when Crash and Coco save them, the power of it depletes. I'm guessing the colored gems mean something in her dimension."
"If so, we need to stop her for capturing them" said King Azrael.
"But how, Tropy? It's not like we have something to track them." said Oz, folding his arms.
In time, a portal appear behind The Time Master. A wooden mask with four rainbow colored feathers on top of its head, yellow eyes, brown eyes, green goatee and red lips.
On the right of it was a orange fur bipedal bandicoot, wearing jeans, green eyes, thick eyebrows, reddish-brown hair in shape of a mohawk, brown fingerless gloves, and a nice pair of Chuck Taylor shoes.
The left side was another bandicoot, but slender with yellow hair in a ponytail in the back with two strands on the front, white shirt with blue sleeves, yellow jeans, brown shoes, a blue headscarf, and goggles.
"What is...this?" The Mask asked.
"This is Aku Aku and his children, Crash and Coco Bandicoot." Tropy introduced.
Oz remember the three, especially Crash. When he found out about Uka Uka lying about letting the Felinian rule Felinia, only to find his home destroyed.
Using his magic to perform a time traveling spell, Oz saved Crash and Neo Cortex and bringing them back to the current time. It was that day he would throw his name as Azrael II away.
"I believe you three's connection with Alex and Slick, you were attacked. I will fill in what we're all dealing with later on. Aku, can you sense the location of the colored gems. Our attacker may use them for whatever scheme."
Aku Aku used his magic, trying to feel the connection of the colored gems. His eyes glowing, he saw the location of all five jewels, including one that is traveling.

"Slick?"
"Zane?"
"Zane?"
"Alex?"
"Scottie!"
"Alex."
Zane, Alex, Scottie, and Slick ran up to each other and hug. Matty and Rick stood where they are, watch the group of friends give a big hug while hopping.
Breaking the embrace, Slick start to ask about the elephant in the room. "What are you two doing in here?"
Scottie start scratching the back of his head. "Uh, we snuck aboard. The creatures stole this gem. We thought we found out why?"
Alex raised a eyebrow, looking at the big jewel. "Why would Nina want with this?"
"Who knows? But she sent an ambush to all of our allies. We don't know why she would like this gem, but if it's like the crystals issue two years ago, we need to protect this gem" said Scottie.
The eyes of Slick widen. If himself and Monkey Monastery where Alex spent the past months in got attacked, his worst fear started to play in his head.
"Princess Sal! She had to be attacked like the others have…"
Alex's ears lower down as he realize that his fiancé, Gabrielle, the Ice Fairy could be hurt or worse. The last time they've been together was when he went their home and his mind was taken over by Frostbite.
'Gabbi. She must've been attacked too. It's all my fault.'
"Hi, sorry to interrupt" the four friends turn to Matty who got their attention. "Hello, Officer Hopps, NAPD. Who's dark and brooding over there."
The group look to Rick who the bunny cop point out. The 10th Dimension version of Slick quickly smile before putting back on his menacing face.
"This is Rick. He's from the 10th Dimension, where Nina has destroyed his home, killed his family, and other citizens. He's helping us stop her" Slick explained.
Matty let out a tch, shaking his head. "Great. We got the fabulous friends and this...stranger to help. Woo."
Alex notice the way the Cop looked at him and Slick and say fabulous friends and woo all sarcastically.
Before he can question it, a noise gain their the heroes attention. The ship came to a halt, making its destination.
Heavy footsteps can be heard, getting closer with every stomp.
Scottie and Matty pull out their guns. Slick and Alex took out their morphers, Zane put his fingers on the button of his morpher.
Rick push the Yeti and Scientist/Chef out of his way. Matty couldn't take in what the 10th dimension stranger was doing. "What are you doing?"
The former Slayer reached into his back, taking out a thin disc. Pressing a button on the top, two curved blades popped out and start spinning.
The door open and a soldier of Nina's army stood in front of the intruders. Before it can attack, Rick threw the spinning disc.
The ant soldier's body shook as the bladed disc kept spinning once it hit it's head. The body fell down, making it clear to the heroes that it's dead. Rick walked over to the carcass, retrieving his disc, giving the bunny a stern look. Matty kept his mouth shut.
The group of heroes follow Rick into the cockpit of the ship. Scottie peep at the window to see where they were taken to.
It was nighttime, but the light of the moon illuminate over the building and statues of the land that is invaded with Nina's soldiers.
The Wolf stare at the landmarks that seem familiar to him. The Sphinx and the pyramids. This was too spot on. "Are we in Egypt?"
"Yes we are, buddy" Alex answered, looking at the scenery. "If we're here and this so called Slayer is here…"
"A gem is here as well" Slick said to the group.
A sound of a door opening caught their attention. Running back to the room where the gem was located, they skid to a stop.
"The Slayer is here" said Rick, taking out two pistols.
In front of the six men was a creature wearing the same black and red armor as Rick was wearing. Aiming a long gun with one hand on the front and the other on the trigger, everyone braced themselves for a fight.
