Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced Remastered- The Novelization

Author's Note: My first novelization of a game! But, it has a twist that should add more flavor to the story. This story borrows elements from Hamtaro, Sailor Moon, and Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. I won't change the story too much as to tick fans off. But, I'll add some cool stuff to spice the story up some! Believe you me, when you read this, you won't be disappointed. Oh, two more things: 1) It'll say romance/action/adventure but it's going to be a bit of everything, and 2) if any pairings take place, it'll be Kana/Nick (my OC). Ok, with that said, let's get started! Takes place in Nick's point of view.

Chapter 1: The Story Begins

Somewhere deep in the vast reaches of hyperspace, an evil plot is being mastered.

Uka Uka: That incompetent Neo Cortex! He cannot do anything right! His last scheme to shrink the Earth failed miserably! You have been a great asset to the cause of evil over the years, N. Tropy. N. Tropy: Thank you, my lord. Uka Uka: That is why I trust you with aiding me in the task of universal domination. N. Tropy: Great Uka Uka, I am honored! And I have the perfect scheme. Since those wretched heroes keep thwarting us, the solution is to get them on our side. And I know just the fellow for the job. Uka Uka: A new recruit? N. Tropy: Indeed. Meet my secret weapon. N. Trance: I am N. Trance, master of hypnotism!

Meanwhile.

I had decided to visit my sister Kana, since she lived right next door. Other times, she would usually come to my house. As I closed the door, I saw a purple and blue vortex open in the sky. 'Weird,' I thought as I walked down the short pathway to Kana's house. Then, I knocked twice on her door, and that is where our story begins. I waited a few seconds. Then, I heard someone running, as if they were in a panic. I had to jump to the side a bit when Kana busted through the doorway, nearly out of breath. "What's wrong, Kana? It looks like you just ran a mile or something," I explained. She took my hand and led me into the house. When we stopped, she started speaking. "Oh, Nick! Thank the goddesses you're here! We've got trouble! Laura and Amy have been kidnapped!" I looked stunned. "But, I may know how to find them! Follow me!" She took my hand again and led me to her garage, where she had been building a trans-dimensional gateway. She had been building it for 6 months now. Kana, not even 12 yet, was a master of dimensional physics, but I still don't know why. "I found a way to power the machine. There are special types of crystals and gems around the world. I've only got one, but that should be enough to open the portal." She pulled a crystal out of her backpack. It was a long one, about ¾ the length of Kana's arm, brilliantly cut, and glowing a bright magenta. She walked over to the gate and placed the crystal in a diamond-shaped slot on the control panel. She then started typing furiously on the keyboard, and a few seconds later, an explosion of bright blue/white energy occurred in the large circular gate next to the command module.

I was amazed at the diversity of the machine Kana had built. She continued speaking. "To open the portals to the other places where I've pinpointed the crystals and gems, we need to find more crystals." "Wow, Kana, this machine is awesome!" She blushed furiously. "I think we should get started. Laura and Amy need us!" With that, she took my hand, and together, we entered the gigantic portal. While in it, I was awed- we were walking through a circular tube of energy with a view of some kind of island with more portals like the one Kana built, only much smaller. The view was fuzzy at first, but as we neared the exit, the view became clearer, until we exited the portal, which closed on us. "Oh, man! We're trapped!" I exclaimed. "Hey, it's ok. We'll be able to get back, but it may take a while. According to my calculations, to open the portal back home, we're going to need to find 21 Power Crystals." "Well, like you said, we'd better get going! The others need us!" I said as we walked over to a portal labeled "Prints Of Persia". I then noticed a button under me. I stepped on it, and it activated, turning on the portal. Before we entered it, though, I noticed 5 other portals, only 1 of which was open. "Some of these areas are already open. We'll need to collect more power crystals to open up the other areas." "Oh, I see. Wait, there's 2 more treasures!" "Gems and gem shards. I'm not sure what the shards are for, but to open certain areas, we'll need to collect a certain amount of gems." "Good idea, Kana. Let's do this!" With that, Kana took my hand again, and together, we jumped into the first portal, ready to start our new adventure. Little did we know, there was a lot more at stake than we thought.

Isn't this great? Ok, after each chapter in this story will be a detailed preview of the next chapter.

Next Time- *Chapter 2: Arabian Tales*

Me and Kana start our adventure in the level "Prints Of Persia", taking us back to the Arabian Nights time period, where we look for treasure, discover a new type of energy, and begin to find out who kidnapped Amy and Laura. Our newest enemy may be our toughest one yet.
