Okay y'all gotta bare with me on this! About a month ago, me and my best friend did a Roleplay in DeviantArt about the two of us going with the Bandicoots and their friends to stop N. Tropy and Cortex from basically eviscerating the Time-Space Continuum. In the roleplay, we would be going off the cutscenes and boss battles with word-for-word dialogue with the canon characters, only changing it when necessary, like if a canon character was talking directly to us. Also, please note that there might be a few headcanons here and there like Ika-Ika being referred to as They/Them since they gotta two-for-one deal going on. ALSO also, me and my friend(I'll be using our real names, Tara and Amber respectfully) will have different powers(For example, I can turn into different forms resembling Ben 10 Aliens to get different abilities), but I hope it's not gonna be too jarring .-.
*We start off where Crash Warped left off, with Neo Cortex, N. Tropy and Uka-Uka are stuck in their little time prison*
Neo Cortex: Crash Bandicoot, at last, I, the great Neo Cortex, have you right where I want you... *Points laser gun at Crash* And now, for the final blow!
*It turns out to just be a dummy of Crash that Neo is hitting with a stick over and over*
N. Tropy: Hush, simpleton!
Uka-Uka: *trying to open some kind of portal*
Neo Cortex: Face it, N. Tropy, it's going to fail, again!
N. Tropy: At least Uka-Uka and I attempt to free us from this prison! I won't sit idly by and listen to your inane ramblings for another decade! And the way you chew...
*Just as the two are about to start an argument, Uka-Uka manages to open a Quantum Rift, but it causes him to pass out*
Neo Cortex: *pokes him with the stick* Is he... Dead?
N. Tropy: Leave him, he served his purpose... *Evil Laughter*
Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time!
*On N. Sanity Island*
Tara(Me) thinking: Well that didn't feel good...
Aku-Aku: ... A great power has awoken...
Tara: You felt it too?
Aku-Aku: *Nods* Crash, I fear it portends an even of reality-shattering proportions.
Crash: *Listens in for a moment before slipping back to sleep*
Amber: I think it might be coming from that mountain way over there...
Aku-Aku: Exactly, I feel it emanating from N. Sanity Peak. Quickly, we must go-!
Tara: Uh... About that *Points to Crash, still asleep*
Aku-Aku: *Sighs* Crash, Crash! CRASH!
Crash: *Wakes with a start and falls off the couch*
Tara: YIP!... N. Sanity Peak, got it! Amber, why don't you stay with Aku-Aku and Coco, and me and Crash go check this thing out?
Amber: Alright then.
Coco: Sounds good to me, gives me enough time to see if I can get any readings
Aku-Aku: You two be careful...
Crash: *gets up and shakes all the sand off of him*
Tara: C'mon Crash, I have a feeling this is gonna be an interesting one...
Amber: See you guys later!
*At the base of N. Sanity Peak*
Crash: *Looks over to N Sanity Peak, looking much more ominous than usual*
Tara: Well that doesn't look good now does it?
*Suddenly, a few Voodoo Roots come in from behind*
Crash: *ear twitches and he and Tara slowly turn around*
Tara and Crash: AHH! *Both jump back*
Tara: Ah crap
*They both fall and a vine to grind on, and after a few misadventures, finally make it to the top of N. Sanity Peak and an odd chamber with a glowing object on a pedestal*
Tara: That must be what's making all the "reality shattering" power Aku was talking about
*After traversing the tiles that phased in and out of reality*
Tara: A new Mask?
Lani-Loli: *Starts waking up* Uh...
Tara: Hello there...
*Trap starts up*
Tara: Uh oh...
*Tara and Crash both fall while Crash is holding Lani-Loli*
Tara: WAAAH!
*Tara and Crash, well, crash onto the floor*
Crash: D'oh!
Tara: Ow...
Lani-Loli: Uh...
*The Guardian appears behind us*
Guardian: *Growls*
Tara: What was that?
Crash: *sees the Guardian, whimpering*
Tara: Holy Lauren Mother of Luna...
Lani-Loli: Aaaahhh aahhh AAAAAAHHHHHH! *floats away screaming*
Tara: RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!
*After running away from the Guardian(momentarily of course), Tara and Crash catch up with Lani-Loli on the side of the Peak*
Tara: Hey Masky dude, wait up!
*Tara and Crash almost fall off the side, but stop at the nick of time*
Tara: Eeh!
Tara and Crash: *Sigh*
Guardian: *Roars as it starts catching up*
Crash: EEH! *Looks down*
Lani-Loli: No no no no no, no way! Not in a million yea-
Tara at the same time: Oh no, Crash you're not ACTUALLY thinking tha-
Tara, Crash and Lani-Loli: -AAAAAAAAHHHH!
* with Amber, Coco and Aku-Aku*
Amber, Coco and Aku-Aku: Looking over Coco's tablet*
Tara, Crash and Lani-Loli: AAAAAAHHHH! *Faceplant on the ground*
Amber: Tara-chan?
Tara: I'm alive...
*Crash gets up, only to have Lani-Loli stuck to his face*
Tara: Woah!
Lani-Loli: EEH, get him off, get him off, get him, off!
Tara: Okay, hold still, easy! *Tries to pry Lani-Lolli off Crash's face*
Coco: Crash, who is that?
Aku Aku: Lani Loli? If the Quantum masks have returned than...
Tara: *Frees Lani-Loli: And THERE WE GO!
Lani-Loli: Plegh plegh, PLEGH! Hey Aku, how's it- g-g-gah! Is that a Quantum Rift?! *Proceeds to hyperventilate with a lack of lungs*
Tara: When did that get here?
Coco: It appears to be a door between dimensions...
Lani-Loli: Yes, yes! The kind we keep SHUT! We have to go through, find me siblings, and fix this before some PUTZ with a big, evil plan and a bigger ego does something monumentally STUPID!
Tara: Now why does that sound familiar?
* in a Hole in Space*
N. Tropy: Uka-Uka unknowingly paved the way to our bright future! Once MY Rift Generator is complete, dominion over Time and Space will be within our grasp!
Neo Cortex: N. Gin, N. Brio, you had some little projects you wanted to tell me about?
N. Gin: Master, my mechanical marvel will hypnotize you an army!
N. Brio: And My potion will make me- um- THEM unstoppable!
Neo Cortex: Yeah right, fine sure, have fun with your rayguns or whatever...
*N. Gin and N. Brio begin to fight on their way to their Rifts*
N. Tropy: Hasten your steps! By my calculations, our enemies are already moving against us. And we. Will. Prevail...
* , Our five protagonists leap out of a Quantum Rift into what appears to be a desert wasteland*
Tara: Hyup!
Coco: So, we need the other Masks to close the Rifts?
Lani-Loli: Correct,. Now my brother Akano should be around here somewhere...
N. Gin: Welcome to the show, vermin! *flies by with a jetpack* Looking for your precious mask?
Lani-Loli: *Sighs* Behold, the aforementioned putz.
Coco: Don't worry. We have a thing where we fight, he loses.
Tara: It's a well established dynamic by now
Amber: Yup.
N. Gin: Not this time! I've got a backstage pass for you to get up close and personal of my weapon of mass percussion! Come ready to rock! *flies off*
Crash: ... Bleh.
Tara: "Weapon of Mass Percussion"? What's that supposed to mean?
Amber: Does he mean "Mass destruction"?
Crash: *shrugs*
Lani-Loli: Whatever it means, I got a bad feeling Akano's involved with it...
Tara: *Cracks knuckles* Not to worry Lani, I'm sure this'll be a cakewalk!
Amber: He ain't the brightest in the box, I can guarantee that!
*After finding their way around the wasteland, our protagonists find their way to a large stage*
*Crowd cheering*
Tara: What in Tatiana's name is this?!
Amber:Some kind of metal concert?
N. Gin: Alright you bloodthirsty lunatics! Put your freaky little hands together for, RAWK-IT HEAD!
*Rawk-It Head powers up*
Tara: Oh THAT'S what he meant by weapon of Mass Percussion!
Lani-Loli: Oh no LOOK!
Tara: What the- is that supposed to be Akano up there?!
Amber: Then it looks like we better bust him out!
N. Gin: 1, 2 ... 1 2 3 4!
Tara: Alright then! Lani, I'm gonna need your help with this!
Lani-Loli: ... If it means saving my brother, let's do it!
*Tara now wears Lani-Loli as he gives her his abilities*
Tara: Crash, you and Amber are gonna help with whacking these Splicer bootlegs into Rawk-It Head's dome. Think you're up for it?
Crash: Uh-huh! *nods*
Amber: Heck yeah!
Tara: Then let's do this! SOOOOOOOLDIEEEEEEERRR JAANE DOOOOOOOOOOOOE!
*After yeeting a couple enemies into Rawk-It Head's dome*
N. Gin: NO!
Rawk-It Head: *KA-BOOM!*
N. Gin and Akano: *get sent flying*
N. Gin: AAAAAAAHHH!
*Bounces on three of Rawk-It Head's drums*
N. Gin: Doh!
Tara: Ooh, Ha ha!
Crash: *giggles*
N. Gin: My beautiful creation...! *gets hit in the head by Akano as he falls into a Quantum Riift*
Lani-Loli: AH! Akano!
Tara: Well, that's our que to leave. Let's get out of here!
