Chapter 4 - Good Has Turned Evil
"TRANSFORMATION ON BANDICOOT, NOW COMPLETE!" The metallic voice resounded around the castle.
"Aaahhh, excellent, it's about time." Cortex rushed to the lab like a little child.
Once again, the lights were switched on at the laboratory, and Cortex went straight to the tube which used to contain Crash. Cortex pressed a number of buttons and levers and the tube slowly began to rise, smoke covered the floor, making it hard to see just what was standing in front of Cortex. As the smoke cleared, and the arms were lowered, the familiar shape of Crash took form, but it wasn't Crash that appeared from the tube. A metal foot touched the floor, then another, followed by a huge metallic body and an evil, twisted face, full of pain and sorrow, the eyes glowed with menace. Crash Bandicoot was now a robot, with no emotions, no feelings and only one thought, to destroy!
"EXPERIMENT X1025, NOW OPERATIONAL!" the voice on the speakers announced.
"Excellent, excellent," Cortex walked over to the hulking mass of metal in front of him and spoke clearly.
"Can you hear me, you worthless excuse of a machine?"
"YES SIR!" the robot replied, "WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?" the voice was distorted and monotonous, every ounce of Crash's life had been sapped from him.
"I want only one thing, and that is for you to kill your former friends, each and every one of them!"
"YES SIR!" the grainy voice replied, "TARGET'S ARE CRUNCH BANDICOOT, COCO BANDICOOT AND AKU AKU, THEY WILL BE DESTROYED!"
The emotionless robot stirred into life, and walked, with clumsy, slow strides, out of the lab, with only one objective in mind, to destroy Crash's friends. Cortex couldn't stop smiling as his latest experiment faded out of sight.
"This is it, I can feel it, this is the end," he exclaimed, " with Crash now under my control, the others will be HELPLESS, THE ERA OF THE BANDICOOTS ENDS TODAY, MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
