Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced- The Novelization Chapter 3: Wave Ridin'
Author's Note: So sorry for the again long wait. My computer crashed, and it took a while to get back on. Ok, here we go!
We had just came out of the level, "Prints of Persia", and had entered the level "Lagoony Tunes" in hopes of finding our 3rd Power Crystal. When we came out of the warp portal, I looked around- we had landed on an island. "Good thing I brought my crystal tracker," Kana said as she reached into her pocket and pulled out a radar-like object. She clicked it twice, and said, "The Power Crystal's somewhere out on the water." "That's no good, Kana, how are we going to get to." I then caught sight of a boat with a waveboard attached to the back. "Oh, I get it!" I finished. "Ok, Nick. I've done a scan of the waters, and there's going to be quite a few dangers, Nick, so stay on your toes, ok?" "Got it, Kana."
It felt like I was actually gliding over the water as I manuevered from side to side, busting crates, spinning enemies out of my way, and collecting as much as we could find. "Man, this is fun!" I exclaimed. "No doubt about." Kana started, but then she turned around, looking for something. When she found it, she stared behind me, literally stunned. "What?" I asked, and then I turned around, and saw a giant mechanical shark with razor-sharp teeth closing in on us. Nothing more needed to be said. "Step on it, Kana!" I exclaimed. She did, and we sped away from the mechanical shark at twice our original speed. It was a good thing I had gone surfing with my mom and dad during our stay in Hawaii last year, because I kept on busting crates, spinning enemies, and collecting stuff as best as I could, even though we were going twice as fast. I looked behind me, and I didn't see the shark anymore. "Kana, I think we've lost him," I said. Kana didn't say anything. Everything was still for a moment. Then, out of nowhere, the shark lunged at us, mouth open, razor teeth preparing to tear us to shreds. I whipped around, and in a split second, I had thrust my hand forward and fired an energy blast from my hand, striking the mechashark in the head, sending it toppling back into the water. "Nice move, Nick!" Kana said to me. "Heh, now you know why they called me the Wave Master," I replied. We continued on, until about halfway to the crystal, I saw the shark resurface, the hole in its head from my energy burst still visible. "Man, doesn't that thing ever give up?!" I exclaimed as I fired another blast. It hit him square in the head, but he still kept coming. "He's almost on us, Nick!" Kana exclaimed, her voice full of worry. I thought for a moment, and then said, "Ok! This ends now!" With that, two pink-and-white energy balls surged to life in my open hands. Kana looked at me, a little confused, until. "Oh, I get it," she said softly. I aimed the glowing energy balls at the shark, and then said, "Noir Laser Cannon!" And with that said, two large pink energy blasts fired from my palms, striking the shark and tearing right through it, blowing it to pieces. "We've got a problem, Nick. There's two more, and they're right in front of us!" Kana exclaimed. I turned around, and I saw two more sharks, but these were different- they had a swirl symbol on their heads. "Weird. Oh, well, might as well finish this. Noir Laser Cannon!" I whipped around again, and fired the Noir Laser Cannon at the two sharks, each beam tearing right through the center of each shark, taking them both out. Then, a 4th shark jumped from the water and lunged at Kana. "Oh, no you don't, sharky! Noir Laser Cannon!" And, I shot a final beam at the last shark, once again tearing right through it. Right after the shark toppled back into the water (or at least what was left of the mechanical menace), I saw the Power Crystal appear a few feet ahead of us. I grabbed it, and we charged lickety-split to the island ahead. When we got there, Kana brushed herself off, and said, "Nick, I just don't know how to thank you enough. That was a great performance out there. I owe you one." She hugged me after she finished speaking. Once that was over, the warp portal appeared. We jumped into it, and upon reentering the Nav-Map, we heard that same spooky voice. It said, "Congratulations. You have once again succeeded. Be wary, as it will only get harder from here." And then it faded.
"Who is that thing?" Kana asked me. "No idea. But, he may have something to do with who created these portals here. Also, this could be a clue as to who this N. Trance guy is," I replied. We placed the Crystal and the Clear Gem in their respective slots on the portal, and then, just a few yards to the southwest, another portal turned on. It was called, "Globe Trottin". "Well, after you, Nick," Kana said sweetly. I smiled at her, and then we jumped into the portal. ************************************************************* Like it? Here's the preview now.
Chapter 4: Rockin' and Rollin'
Me and Kana take to the Mayan Ruins, traveling in a giant hamster-ball. But, it seems that N. Trance has forseen our arrival, and has placed traps all around the ruins. This one's not going to be easy.
