Disclaimer: Just so everyone knows, I do not own anthing to do with Crash Bandicoot. My first fic is just something I came up with one morning and decided to put onto this site. There will be many more stories from me to come, but for now, enjoy my first story.
Chapter 1 - The Break
"Ooohhhh, I've had just about all I can take from that infernal bandicoot, why can't I just have a break for once!" sighed Doctor Neo Cortex, after being foiled, once again, by Crash Bandicoot. "I am surrounded by the most incompetent creations I ever.......created!" Cortex glares evilly at all of his cronies standing before him.
"Aaaww, give us a break boss, we've tried our hardest," N.Gin utters timidly.
"WELL YOUR BEST ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH.....owwww, my head, bring me my ice pack Tiny, that's an order!"
"Yes boss."
As Tiny exits the room to fetch cortex his ice pack, Uka Uka appears on the huge screen dominating the room.
"CORRRRTEEEEEEX, WHY HAVEN'T YOU CAPTURED THAT BANDICOOT YET!" Uka Uka was obviously not pleased with Cortex's pitiful efforts so far.
"Owwww, please, not so loud, my head can't take much more."
"THAT IS YOUR PROBLEM, I WANTED THAT BANDICOOT CAPTURED BY NOW AND HE STILL ISN'T!"
"Please master Uka Uka, I have tried my hardest......"
"Look who's talking now." N.Gin butts in sarcastically.
"Quiet N.Gin!" Cortex clears his throat. "As I was saying master Uka Uka, all I am asking is for a break from all of this, I need some time to relax, that way I can think of more evil and maniacal ways of capturing that bandicoot."
"Hmmmm, well, I suppose you HAVE been working hard enough over these years," Uka Uka ponders the situation before saying the words Cortex had been waiting to hear, "Ok Cortex, you can have a break." Cortex was just about to thank his master, when Uka Uka declared, "but only for one week."
"WHAT," Cortex was outraged, "but master Uka Uka, that's not nearly enough......."
"ONE WEEK, AND THAT IS FINAL, TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT." Uka Uka was starting to get impatient. Cortex gulped, knowing he should have kept his mouth shut. "Yes master Uka Uka, one week will be fine."
"But cortex, I have one small question."
"What would that be master Uka Uka?" Cortex was now starting to get a bit uneasy.
"Who exactly is going to look after the base after your gone?"
Seeing as he was so caught up with trying to get a break, Cortex had completely forgotten about putting someone in charge of the base.
"Errrrr, I think Tiny should be in charge," he splurted out without thinking.
"WHAT!" Everyone let's out a roar of disapproval.
"But sir, Tiny can't even remember his own name, let alone run a base," N.Tropy pleads. Just that second, Tiny walk back into the room with Cortex's ice pack. "Oh, Tiny, I didn't see you come back, we were just talking about you," N.Tropy chuckles nervously.
"Tiny brought ice pack." Tiny hands the ice pack to Cortex's swollen head.
"Thank you Tiny," Cortex places the ice pack on his head, "now where was I, errr, ok, N.Gin, you can run the base, but N.Tropy will keep an eye on you, just in case. Dingodile, your in charge of maintenence. N.Trance, your in charge of communications, and Tiny, you can wash the dishes."
"Yay, Tiny like dishes," Tiny grunts delightfully.
"Ok Cortex, it seems you have everything sorted out, you may leave for your break, now if you don't mind, I am late for my daily wood shave as it is." And with that, Uka Uka disappears from the screen. After a long silence, Cortex let's out a cry of glee. "YES, at last, my first break in......well, ever. Now guys, please don't screw around while I'm gone, I want you to be hard at work as soon as I leave, now if everybody's satisfied, I shall see you suckers later." Cortex rushes to his room to start packing, leaving everyone else standing in the control room. Another silence ensues."So, who wants to watch T.V?" Dingodile questions.
