Chapter 5: On The Run

It was as though Dingodile couldn't control his emotions any longer. He felt lonely and he was going to change that. Whether it was instinct or for Coco, Dingodile ran out the castle door. Then, the alarm sounded. "DINGODILE, WHERE ARE YOU?!!?" screamed Cortex. "YOU CAN'T ESCAPE ME!" But Dingodile didn't care. Nothing, he decided, would tear him and Coco apart.

Except Crunch and Crash, of course.

Dingodile knew that Crunch and Crash Bandicoot were not very crazy about Dingodile having a love life with Coco. And Cortex was even worse. But, as far as Dingodile was concerned, nothing could permanently keep him away from Coco. Nothing.

Unless fate turned bad.

Dingodile gripped his pants and stopped. For one strange instant, he could've sworn he heard death in his ear. But, if it was, it would not be aiming at him. It would be for Coco. And who would want to get rid of Coco?

Cortex, obviously!

Dingodile growled to himself and then continued running through the dark forest. Then, he tripped over a tree root. The next thing he knew, he was unconscious.
