[CHAPTER 9: NEW ISLAND]
They jumped on the warp pad, and were teleported to a small stretch of beach at the end of the island.

Nazza looked up at the giant volcano and said, 'Hey look! I can see the giant fence!'

'Where?' said Coco.

'It's only like fifty metres away,' said Crash.

'Don't YOU start,' said Coco.

Nazza looked around. 'There's a boat. You guys gonna come with me?'

'Remember what I said?' said Crash.

'When?'

'Way back when we met. I said I'd take you to the end of the island.'

'So that means I have to go on my own from here on in?' asked Nazza.

'Huh?' said Coco.

'Yep,' said Crash.

===INSIDE THE VOLCANO===

Luigi, who had somehow magically appeared inside the volcano thanks to his...uh...cumquat ability, decided he would agitate the volcano.

'A whole pepper shaker,' said Luigi, shaking the pepper into the volcano. 'Hmm, not big enough.'

He pulled out a giant pepper shaker as big as himself, and began shaking. 'Hehe, now we're cooking.'

The volcano went 'Ah-ah-ah CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!'

'Oh no, how will I get out of the volcano now?' said Luigi. 'I will be burnt to a - too late.'

'Look, the volcano's erupting!' shouted Coco.

'It seems wherever you go you cause volcanos or earthquakes or snow tornadoes -'

'BLIZZARD!' shouted Luigi.

'- Whatever,' said Crash.

'Now you have no choice but to come along with me on this boat,' said Nazza, 'or you will go down with this island.'

As the lava flowed down the volcano, destroying several places they had just been to, Nazza, Coco and Crash hopped into the boat and rowed away.

'That was a close one,' said Crash.

'As usual we survived,' said Coco.

'Hang on, where's Luigi?' said Nazza.

The volcano exploded, and they watched as the island slowly sank into the sea.

'Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream -'

'Coco, this really isn't the time,' said Crash, as he looked down at the slightly red water.

'Don't you tell ME to shut up! You wanna fight! Take me on! TAKE ME ON!'

Crash screamed, looked frantically around, then whined 'Oh, there's no escape! I have to spend this trip in a small rowboat with Coco!'

'Hey look, there's another island!' said Nazza.

'Sanctuary, sanctuary!' said Crash. 'How far away is it?'

'It'll take us about four hours to get there.'

'CRAP!'

Crash's statement echoed throughout the ocean.

The boat floated on, guided by - well, guided by nothing. Yet somehow it was heading towards the island, as boats tend to do.

'I'm bored,' said Crash. Behind him a gigantic boat sailed past.

'That looks cool,' said Nazza, looking at the boat. He closed his eyes and started daydreaming about a building collapsing. The gigantic boat hit an iceberg and snapped in two. 'Wow, that daydream was very realistic!'

'Huh?' said Coco.

'I'm bored,' said Crash.

'Do you know that's the first time anyone's ever said that in any of my fics?' said Nazza.

'Huh?' said Crash.

'Never mind...'

The boat floated on, guided by a rocket-propelled rocket.

Just kidding.

Crash opened his mouth to speak, but was stopped by Nazza. 'If you're about to say what I think you're about to say, then don't say it.'

'Right...'

So the boat floated on, guided by a strange sea monster.

Just kidding.

'How much longer do you think it will take?' asked Crash.

'Probably an hour,' said Nazza.

'Hang on, what's this?' said Coco.

'Oh, that's the engine,' said Crash.

'This is a motorboat?!'

'Yeah, didn't you notice?' said Crash.

'You're telling us we spent all this time waiting for this boat to just float off to the next island, when we could've just started the motor?!'

'Jeez, calm down Nazza,' said Coco.

'I will not calm down! You can't calm me down ever!' Nazza stood up. 'I will not remain calm! I -'

Coco pushed him overboard.

'Good job,' said Crash.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Five minutes later they arrived at the island.

'This place looks pretty neat,' said Crash.

'Where's Nazza?' asked Coco.

They looked around the beach, then Nazza leapt two metres out of the water and landed, wet and annoyed.

'Whoa, how'd you do that?' asked Coco.

'I just swam fifty freaking kilometres to get here,' said Nazza, breathing heavily. 'Don't ever push me out of a boat again.'

'Okay,' said Crash.

'Where are we?' asked Coco.

'Hello over there!' shouted a voice.

'Huh?' said Coco.

Nazza pointed at a bandicoot that was standing on the other side of the beach. 'Hello!' the figure shouted. 'Come over here!'

They walked over to the bandicoot. 'Hello, I will be your guide,' she said.

'Huh?' said Coco.

'My name's Robin, and I will be your guide.'

'Huh?'

'I will -'

'Don't worry about her, she's got head cancer if you know what I mean,' said Nazza.

'Huh?'

'What is this new island called?' asked Crash.

'It's called New Island,' said Robin.

'Really,' said Nazza. 'How many levels are there?'

'About eight,' said Robin. 'But there aren't any bosses.'

'Sweet,' said Crash.

'Are there secret levels?' asked Coco.

'Huh?' said Robin.

'Hey look, the sun's setting!' said Crash. 'Well Guide Lady, I think we'll just hang out on this beach until tomorrow.'

'Okie dokie.'

Crash ran on the sand, and lay down, pulling out his Discman.

'Nazza, you want to come with me?' said Coco.

'Uh, no, I think I'll go for a swim.' Nazza jumped in the water and shot off as fast as the motorboat. When the motor was on, not when it was off.
