A/N: It's so lonely in the Crash section now... ;_; We're not as active as we should be.
WRITE, PEOPLE, WRITE!
Er...yeah...uh...why are you here again? To read this...this...weak-plotted...THING I kinda scrapped together in five minutes? (For the sake of writing something) Really? *shrugs* What's a chimerical author like me supposed to do? Okay, I guess you can read it...

Disclaimer: *Burns some random executive from Traveler's Tales witch-burning style* Okay, I admit that Traveler's Tales LEGALLY owns Crash Bandicoot, but Naughty Dog will always be the true owners! *runs around waving torch* Naughty Dog should've given Crash to ME! And...oh, that's going a bit too far, isn't it? *shuts up while the executive burns*

A Feudal Fairy Tale II: Requiem of Ice
Chapter One: Cold
~*~
Coco Bandicoot joyously made her way into the warp room with her brother, Crash Bandicoot following closely behind. It was time for a return trip to Medieval Australia, a parallel universe Crash had accidently sent her to a few months back. Coco had worked day and night, and finally, she was able to locate it and harness it for...traveling purposes. She planned to surprise her friends by an unexpected return visit.
Trying to explain her little adventure with everyone in the real world was tough. She tried the best she could, but no one really understood her.
But, that didn't matter. She was going back, and hoping to see something a little less pitiful than a starving village.
The lights flashed and the ground shook...this always happens when an unstable warp opens. Unstable means difficult to control, not particularly dangerous, and they only open up if you press the wrong coordinates on the control panel.
With an infinate number of coordinates, there was an infinate number of parallel universes, according to Coco. But that's not important right now, is it?
~*~
Crash sighed as his sister lept into the warp. He had asked if he could go along and see this new world that *HE* discovered. (Well...not intentionally...) But he was denied permission. Things would get chaotic if he went through now. Not until Coco had sorted out with the villagers she met that their good old King Crash didn't come back to life.
So instead, Crash was left behind. He sighed once more and left the warp room to find Polar. Maybe a good old fashioned "Crash Course" through the jungle would cheer him up...
~*~
"Medieval Australia, here I come!" Coco shouted gleefully as the warp opened up at her destination. She was let out a little high...again, but she was prepared, as she braced for the fall.
Unfortunately, she didn't brace for the ice.
Her shoes hit a thick layer of ice on the cobblestone street of the village and slid from beneath her, which made her slide and skid. After slowing to a stop and getting back off, she got up and looked around.
Something wasn't right...again!
The trees, the street, the houses...all of it was encased in ice! Not a soul moved, not a footstep could be heard.
Fearfully, Coco half ran, half slided over to the blacksmith shop and grasped onto the handle on the door.
"That's cold!" She gasped in surprise, letting go and once again falling onto the frozen water. "REALLY cold! Almost...unnaturally cold!" She complained, getting up. She looked around once again. Where were the people? She looked through the iced window of the blacksmith shop. Koala Kong, resident blacksmith wasn't there.
"Where is everyone?" Coco skated on the ice until she came to the castle. She stopped, and admried it in awe.
The once dreary, stones of the castle was now made of the most beautiful crystal she had ever seen. It was a gorgeous hue of light blue. The moat resembled a glass bottom boat. You could see the bottom of the moat. Walking across the crystal drawbridge, which for some reason was down, she came across the courtyard of the castle.
~*~
The courtyard was nearly unrecognizable. It was fashioned from the same fine crystal that made up the walls. Lifelike crystal statues of various animals, both biped and quadruped filled the area, only leaving room for a walkway to the doors of the castle.
'So pretty...' Coco thought.
The doors to the inner castle creaked open without warning. A small figure dressed in a black outfit with a matching cape stood in the doorway. A pointy black hat rested on the figure's head, covering their face. It had orange furred hands, which held a staff made from a clear material in the left hand. Coco couldn't tell if it was glass, ice, or crystal. Perhaps a combination of all three. A beautifully carved raven stood perched on top of the staff as a real raven, blacker than night, came to sit on the figure's arm.
"A visitor." The figure said in such a femine familiar voice, it sent shivers down Coco's voice. Where did she hear this voice before...? "Appealing to the eye, be it not?"
"Where..." Coco gulped. "Where are the villagers...?"
A small chuckle was heard. "Look around thee."
Frightened, Coco turned to the left...and screamed. Standing before her, was a statue of Koala Kong...or rather, WAS Koala Kong. Backing up in horror, she hit another statue. Whipping around, a pair of jaws with sharp teeth greeted her. Upon closer inspection, she saw that it was Dingodile.
"They make such lovely ornaments for my castle, doest though not agree?"
"You monster!" Coco hissed back in disbelief. "How could you DO such a thing?!"
The figure walked up to her and chuckled once again. "Only the faint of heart would speak of such nonsense."
Under the rim of the hat, Coco spied a small, black nose. Shaking with rage, she lifted her hand and slapped the figure as hard as she could.
The raven that was perched on the shoulder cawed and took to the air. It hovered over what appeared to be its master. It glared at Coco with the deepest resentment she had ever seen.
The gothic figure slowly recovered and lifted her orange hand to rub the spot where she had been struck.
"Not bad..." She grinned from beneath the hat. "But let me show thee how a woman really fights." She tilted her hat up so her face was completely visible.
And Coco could barely hold in her desire to scream once again.

Coco: Oh. My. God. I can't believe that little rat!
Raiegki: Coco...calm down...and I LIKE rats, thank you very much.
Coco: Whatever. Okay, so Medieval Australia's been frozen, and this gothic girl with a staff and a pet bird is going to beat me to a bloody pulp! And I can't believe that witch is-
Raiegki: AHEM! *covers Coco's mouth* If you have not figured it out already, find out who this mysterious girl is and what will happen to Coco in "A Feudal Fairy Tale II: Requium of Ice Chapter Two: Withdraw"
Coco: It's so unfair to me... ;_;
