Crash then turns and approaches Coco. He places his hand on her face and asks her, "Are you okay, little sis?"
Coco responds by giving Crash a big hug. "Crash! You did it! I knew you could!"
As they continue to hug, Tawna and Isabella make their way up to the platform they're on. The pair excitedly calls out Crash and Coco's names as they dart towards them, giving them the biggest of hugs.
"I thought I'd never see you again, Coco, my sweetheart!" Isabella happily cries.
"And I am so glad you did away with that rat once and for all, Crash!" Tawna exclaims as she embraces him. "You're our hero!"
As they all embrace, two balls of light emerge from the pit, flying through the air and up to the lifeless shells of Aku Aku and Uka Uka dangling from the ceiling. After a brief pause, the two masks spring back to life.
"Whoa, what an experience that was! Feels like I've been dead for a month." said Uka Uka.
"My brother, we have been dead for a month." said Aku Aku.
"Hmm. Good point, bro." Uka Uka replied.
"Aku Aku!" Coco exclaims.
"Uka Uka!" Cortex exclaims.
"You're back!" they both exclaim.
The two masks float down to everyone as Aku Aku uses his powers to extinguish the lava in the pit.
"Yeah, yeah, we're alive." Uka Uka says as he floats over to Cortex. "Now then, would you mind explaining to me what's going on, Cortex?"
"Uh, well... you see, Uka Uka..." Cortex hesitates.
"It's a long story." N. Gin says, speaking for him.
"Y-yes! And we'll tell you all about it eventually!" Cortex mumbles.
As Cortex and Uka Uka continue to bicker, Aku Aku floats over to Crash and his friends.
"Well done, my children!" he tells them. "You defeated Pinstripe and saved us all from certain death!"
Isabella picks up Coco and walks over to Aku Aku.
"Well, we're all glad to have you back, Aku Aku!" said Coco.
Suddenly, a dark shadow falls over everyone. Everyone looks up and sees the carrier Pinstripe called for earlier.
"Look! There's the carrier!" Megumi exclaims. "We can use it to find a new place to call home!"
"Yeah! Maybe it can take us somewhere with clean air! Or maybe a nice beachfront property!" Yaya exclaims. "I'm sure there's got to be at least one out there somewhere!"
"But, Yaya, you do realize that all of earth's been nuked, right?" Isabella reluctantly asks Yaya.
"Yeah, there might not even be any oasises or beaches left to even go to." says Komodo Joe.
Upon hearing this, Yaya sulks as the Komodo Bros. approach her and comfort her.
"Ssssorry, little one." Komodo Moe sadly tells her.
"I mean, I'd invite you all to come live with me on my planet, Barin, but you all would freeze to death." said Nash.
"And don't even get us started on the wonky physics of Fenomena." said Big Norm.
"Well, then... where will we all go?" asked Ami dejectedly.
Krunk clears his throat and asks, "If I might make a suggestion?"
"What is it, Krunk?" Crunch asked.
"Why don't we take it to my home planet Terra?" Krunk replied. "I mean, after all, we did copy your planet to make it come to be!"
Everyone thinks for a minute before Tiny exclaims, "Sounds good to Tiny!"
"Hey, as long as we don't have to deal with that green robotic king again, I'm all for it!" Cortex says, before asking everyone, "What do you say, everyone?"
Everyone cheers in agreement.
"Well, then. What are we waiting for?" asked Aku Aku. "Let's go, everyone."
"Wait!" Crash cries out, getting everyone's attention. "Before we go, there's one thing I have to do first."
Crash takes N. Tropy's staff, inhales deeply and uses the staff to gather up the shattered remains of N. Tropy, then he uses the staff to reassemble N. Tropy. He approaches N. Tropy and touches him, freeing him from his frozen state. N. Tropy collapses to the ground.
"I'm alive?" N. Tropy says as he gets up and looks around. "I'm alive! Oh, it's a miracle!"
Crash gathers N. Tropy's armor and staff, approaches him and says, "N. Tropy, I believe these belong to you."
N. Tropy takes his armor and puts it back on, then he takes his staff, restoring his powers the second he grabs hold of it.
"Crash, my boy! You did it!" N. Tropy hearty exclaims to Crash. "You saved my life and defeated that rat and robot!"
"Hey, no problem!" Crash replies as he gives N. Tropy a fist bump.
"After all, someone's got to undo this post-apocalyptic wasteland and restore it back to the way it was before." Cortex says.
"Please. Tell us you can fix this." Tawna begs.
"No time to worry, my dear." N. Tropy reassures her. "I'll have this whole post-apocalyptic nightmare erased in just a moment! Stand back, everyone!"
N. Tropy grasps his staff, inhales sharply, and waves it around in a choreographed fashion, much to the amazement of everyone. Suddenly, a bright light emerges from his staff, and seconds later, earth is restored to its natural green state, back to the way it was before. Everyone, now back in their normal state and clothing and whatever mutations they had disappeared, finds themselves back where they started: right in front of Crash's house. Everyone who was killed has been brought back to life as well.
"It's... it's N. Sanity Island!" Coco says excitedly. "Look, Crash! There's our house! We're home!"
As Crash and Coco run around their front yard for the first time in over a month, Cortex turns to N. Tropy and tells him, "Wow. I never thought I'd actually be happy to see Crash and his friends still alive, but you sure did a great job undoing that mess, N. Tropy."
"Well, they don't call me the Master of Time for nothing, now do they?" N. Tropy says.
Coco hugs Crash and exclaims, "Oh, Crash! I don't know how this could get any better!"
Suddenly, Coco hears a very familiar meow from behind her. She spins around to see Pura, back to his normal tiger self, sitting in front of her.
Coco happily gasps and exclaims, "Pura! You're back! I thought I'd never see your cute and cuddly exterior ever again!"
Everyone watches as Coco gives Pura a big hug, with Isabella joining in seconds later.
Coco warmly tells Isabella, "Thanks for encouraging me to never give up, Isabella."
"Aww, you know I love and care about you too much that I would never give up on you, now do you, Coco?" asks Isabella.
"That's right! And now, Isabella has someone watching over her back to make sure nothing ever happens to her!" Hasty says as he wraps his arm around Isabella.
Coco, surprised, asks, "Wait. You mean that you two are...?"
Isabella and Hasty both nod. Coco squeals with delight as they all share a group hug.
Oxide, watching them embrace, turns to Zam and says, "Aww, they not be related, but they still make one cute, happy family, don't they, Zam?"
Zam barks in agreement.
Suddenly, Zem appears out of nowhere and exclaims, "Hey, hey! I'm back! Did anyone miss me?"
Everyone loudly groans in annoyance.
"Great. Just when I thought I wouldn't have to put up with this pig again." Oxide grumbles.
Crash approaches Tawna, who happily spins around, embracing the feeling of fresh air again. She sighs contently and happily says to Crash, "Oh, Crash. I really missed all the feelings of being embraced by good ol' Mother Nature, haven't you?"
Crash attempts to speak, but can only let out unintelligible gibberish, followed by a shocked gasp.
"Wha... But I thought..." Tawna says, concerned. "N. Tropy! Why can't Crash speak?"
Aku Aku floats to Crash and Tawna, and says, "Unfortunately, my children, it seems that when N. Tropy erased the damage, everything from that post-apocalyptic fiasco was undone, even Crash's ability to speak."
Crash moans in sadness before Tawna happily embraces him.
"Well, I don't care!" said Tawna. "I still love him for who he is and the torment he had to go through to save us all from that wasteland!"
"Our hero!" shouts Crunch.
"Let's hear it for Crash, everybody!" exclaims Coco as everyone erupts in applause and cheers for Crash.
N. Gin sniffles and happily says, "I'm actually happy. IT HURTS!"
As everyone cheers for Crash, Pinstripe and Geary emerge from a nearby ditch, having been brought back to life.
Geary, confused, looks around and asks, "Wait, I'm alive? But how?"
Pinstripe likewise asks, "Wha... I'm back? How is this possible? I—"
Pinstripe glances over and sees Tawna with Crash.
"I think I see the perfect opportunity to get my revenge for being boiled alive!" said Pinstripe.
"Yes! Let's get them!" Geary shouts. "Let's get our skins!"
Before they can attack Crash and the others, Oxide and his minions step in front of them, blocking their path.
"Not so fast, rat! You two are coming with us to Gasmoxia." said Oxide. "Our ruler would like to have a few words with you both!"
"Pfft. Like fun, we are." scoffs Pinstripe.
"Oh, please, Oxide! Don't take me back!" Geary whines. "I can't bear to face our ruler again!"
"Sorry, robot, but you should've thought of that when you two decided to blow up the earth over something as petty as not getting legendary skins." Oxide says to Geary. "Grab him!"
"Hey! You can't do this to me!" Geary shouts as Oxide's minions grab hold of him. "I am machine! I am far superior than any living, breathing organism! I will have my time to—"
"Ah, save it for the jury, you metal head." says Nash as he hits the mute button on his back.
"And you!" Oxide says to Pinstripe. "Tawna wanted me to give this to you personally, you filthy animal."
Oxide hands him an envelope, which Pinstripe snatches out of his hands.
"Oh, ho ho ho, boy! I hope it's a love letter!"
"Wow, you are so stupid." Oxide says as he sets up a tractor beam.
Pinstripe opens the envelope and reads the document inside.
"What? A restraining order?!" Pinstripe shouts as he, Geary, Oxide and his minions are being beamed onto his ship. "She can't do this to me! I'm her one and only! Not that idiotic orange furball that she calls a boyfriend! Just you wait, Tawna! You will be mine someday...!"
Oxide's spaceship takes off into space.
"Pfft. Not gonna happen." said Tawna as she hugs Crash. "Crash is my one and only, and there's nothing in the world that can change that!"
Suddenly, everyone hears Uka Uka yelling, "What are you talking about, Cortex?"
Everyone directs their attention to a nearby dock, where Cortex and the rest of his minions are seen climbing aboard his airship, ready to head back to Cortex's lab.
"We have the bandicoots right where we want them!" Uka Uka shouts to Cortex. "Let's do them in now while we still have the chance!"
"We could do that, Uka Uka, but they've been through enough torture the past month already." said Cortex. "What do you say we give them a break, huh?"
"Fine!" groans Uka Uka. "But you have to promise me you'll get to work on another evil plan to do them in soon! Understood?"
"Yes, mighty Uka Uka." said Cortex as he turns to Brio. "Come along, N. Brio!"
"C-c-coming, Dr. Cortex!" said N. Brio as he prepares to climb aboard the airship.
Suddenly, Tawna calls out, "Brio, wait up!"
Brio turns to see Tawna, Crash and Coco approaching him. Coco holds an envelope in her hand addressed to Brio.
"Tawna! Crash! Coco!" exclaims Brio.
"More sappiness?" groans Uka Uka. "Let's go already!"
Cortex shushes Uka Uka.
"What's going on, you guys?" asks Brio. "Have you c-c-come to see me off?"
Crash nods as Tawna says, "We sure have, but we also have a surprise for you."
"A surprise? Really?" asks Brio. "What ever could it be?"
"Well, we all talked it over and to make up for all the torment you had to go through, we all pitched in and got a little something for you." said Coco as she hands Brio the envelope.
He opens it and is ecstatic as he reads the enclosed document. "Is this... Can this be...?" he asks.
Crash, Coco and Tawna all nod in unison. He finishes reading the document.
"It is! My very first legendary skin! Oh, thank you!" Brio happily exclaims as he gives all three of the bandicoots a big hug. "Thank you all so much!"
"We should have it ready for you when the next season starts!" said Megumi.
Shortly afterwards, Cortex, Brio and the villains take off in Cortex's airship back to Cortex's iceberg lab.
"Ta-ta, bandicoots!" Cortex says as he waves goodbye. "We'll be back to destroy you soon!"
"Bye, Cortex!" exclaims Coco.
"Wait, is he seriously going to destroy us all?" asked Liz.
Tawna scoffs and says, "Not a chance."
"We always stop him." Coco says to Liz. "It's practically become a daily routine."
"Uh, looks like they forgot a little something here." said Crunch as he gestures to Megamix, cowering out of fear of what the heroes will do to him.
"Aww, the poor thing." Megumi says as she approaches Megamix. She rests his hand on Megamix's face, causing Megamix to look at Megumi's smiling face. Megamix sheepishly smiles back in response.
"I'll find a good home for him." Megumi reassures everyone.
"Aww, that's the Megumi we all know and love." Ami says.
"Yep. And no one can change that. Not now, not ever." Coco says, before turning to the heroes and asking, "Now, what do you say we give our burger cookout another try?"
Everyone cheers as they head back to the bandicoot house while the sun sets in the west, bringing the story to its happy conclusion.
...Or is it really over?
