Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced Remastered- The Novelization Chapter 4:
Rockin' and Rollin'
Author's Note: This is the 4th chapter of my novelization of.well, you get the idea.
We had just finished "Lagoony Tunes", and man, was it tough for an early area! We had to escape from a swarm of deadly mechanical sharks (and they meant business!) but, thankfully, my Noir Laser Cannon Attack took good care of them. Now, we had entered "Globe Trottin", which seemed to be placed in the ruins of an ancient Mayan temple. It's a good thing Kana had her crystal tracker to help us out. "Whoa," Kana said. "What?" I replied. She showed me the radar. I looked at the screen, which was displaying a map of the area. "The crystal isn't until the very end of this area." "Wait, I've got an idea." "What is it?" I walked over to what looked like two giant hamster balls and said, "We can use these for fast transport." "Good idea. But, they don't look very controllable." I stared at Kana for a few seconds, and then she said, "But, it's the best plan we've got, so full steam ahead, I say." With that, we got inside the balls and started rolling, busting crates along the way, until we came to a strange sign on a wall that had a picture of some strange structure. "What is that?" I asked Kana. "It looks like a Precursor Oracle," Kana replied. "A Precursor what?" "Ok, listen to this. Long ago, just a few years before the Precursors disappeared, they built things called Precursor Oracles to watch over the land while the Precursors slept, to protect them from any evil that might come their way. They must have survived after the Precursors vanished, so they've been watching over the land in this parallel universe." "Wow.so, you know that deep, spooky voice we heard twice already?" "Yeah?" "I'll bet that was an Oracle!" "It's a high possibility. Maybe we should-" But, before Kana could finish, rocks and boulders started raining down from above us. As we swiveled and swirled around the giant rocks, I caught a glimpse of some- well, I don't know how to really describe it- some mutated guy with one regular eye, one bulging, electric blue eye, a robotic body, a swirl on its chest, and a hand with a clock whip. I thought for a moment, and then I realized it- he was N. Trance. The "thing" who had started all of this madness.
"So, that's N. Trance," I said. Kana looked surprised. "Well, Mr. Trance, it's time to say goodnight!" I brought my hands up, aiming at the 5th dimensional freak, charging my energy into two pink balls of energy. "Say goodnight! Noir Laser Cannon!!!" With that, I once again fired my Noir Laser Cannon at N. Trance, but for some reason, the blasts just bounced off him. "That's odd. Why didn't my Noir Laser Cannon work?" Kana looked around by N. Trance, and then spotted an opportunity- a pile of boulders above him was loosening. "Hey, Nick?" "Yeah?" "Aim your laser cannon at those rocks. Right above that thing." "Got it. Thanks, Kana. Noir Laser Cannon!!" With that, I fired the laser cannon at the pile of rocks above N. Trance, causing them all to shake and fall down towards the freak. Just as we had thought, they hit dead on, burying N. Trance under a pile of rubble. I smiled triumphantly, but the problem wasn't finished yet- N. Trance broke free of the rock pile, hovering in the air, getting ready to charge at us- just as I had planned. "Stand back, Kana. This one could get messy. Super Noir Laser Cannon!" With that said, I shot a more powerful laser cannon right at N. Trance. He batted the first beam away, but the second was too quick, as it hit the swirl that was placed dead center on his chest, and tore clean through him. "All right!" Kana exclaimed. "Score one for the Sailor Scouts!" I exclaimed in victory. But, then- N. Trance got up. He then said, "You may have beaten me once, but I assure you, I'll be back!" And he disappeared.
Me and Kana just stood there for a few seconds, until- "Wow, Nick, I didn't know you could do that!" "It's just a manner of skill, power, and a lot of good aiming skills." Then, a bright light surrounded us, and when it cleared, we were at the exit portal, and just like Kana had said earlier, the Power Crystal was right here. I collected it, along with the Clear Gem, and then, I heard the Oracle speak. "Good job, kids. You are maturing into young warriors already. Even now, a dark power is converging on our world, and only the last power of the Precursors can save it. Bring me 25 Precursor Jewels from your enemies, and I will teach you a new power to help in your quest." And with that, the voice faded. "Well, we've got the Crystal, so let's get out of here." "Good idea, Nick." Once that was said, we jumped into the portal, reemerging on the Nav-Map. We placed the Crystal and Gem in their proper slots, and once again, they hovered in the air and shot a beam to another closed portal, activating it. But this time, another beam shot forth and hit the last closed portal, activating it as well. We walked to the portal the treasures had activated first. It was called "Pharaoh's Funhouse". "It looks like we're going back to Egyptian times! Haven't you been studying that in school, Kana?" I asked. "Yeah, I did say I wanted to see it first-hand, so let's go!" she replied, and, taking my hand, we dived into the portal. ************************************************************* Nice, huh? N. Trance makes his full-fledged debut in this chapter. Hey, if anyone wants to have their own original character make a guest appearance in a later chapter, just leave a review telling what your character's name is, what he/she likes, all that crud, and if I get one that's good enough, I'll put it into the story! Ok, so with that said, here's the preview of the next chapter.
Chapter 5: Cairo's Carnival
Nick and Kana go back to Egyptian times to solve the mystery of the pharaohs and hopefully find their 4th of the 21 Power Crystals. But with mummies in spiked coffins, slamming walls, falling doors, oil-slicked floors, Nitro Crates, and pitfalls aplenty swarming all around this Egyptian temple, it's not gonna be pretty.
