Chapter 5: Revenge

The next day was cold, windy, and dark, making conditions in the Crash Hut unbearable. Coco had had enough of this. She would go outside and then grab a pile of firewood. She decided to do this because she didn't want Crunch to risk getting killed. Despite the fact that she was also risking this, Coco gathered up all her nerve and went out.

"God. It's so friggin' cold out!" Coco shivered. But she had to carry on, otherwise she'd catch hypothermia. But as she was about to grab a nice pile of firewood, she heard an Australian accent.

"G'day, sheila!"

Coco dropped the pile of firewood and looked up in shock. She saw Dingodile, smirking nastily.

"D-D-Dingodile!" Coco finally gasped. "But, what are you doing here?"

Dingodile continued smirking and lowered his voice.

"I'm 'ere ta settle a score with Crunch," he replied. "I knew you two would love each other unconditionally and now it's Crunch's time to fall."

Hearing this, Coco pushed Dingodile away and glared at him.

"Now you listen to me!" she snapped. "Just because you're jealous doesn't mean you can kill the love of my life!"

"Oh yes it does, sheila," Dingodile snapped back. "Ya see. I always get what I want and you're who I want."

Coco scowled and huffed, "If you kill Crunch, I will NOT get back with you!"

"Oh yes ya will, sheila," Dingodile snarled, softly. "For, if ya don't, I will kill ya as well." He then took a step towards Coco and got ready for the kill. Coco then let out a scream of terror.

"CRUNCH! HEEEEELP!"

Crunch, who had been on the front porch, suddenly jumped up.

"COCO!" he gasped. He rushed to the back yard and stopped. He saw Dingodile about to make the final move.

"DINGO!"

Dingodile jumped, dropping Coco onto the hard ground. Dingodile then saw Crunch, and he frowned.

"Bandicoot."

Hearing the resentment in Dingodile's voice, Crunch stepped forward and pressed a finger into Dingodile's stomach.

"If you EVER go near Coco again," Crunch threatened, "I will hunt you down, and when I find you, I shall kill you! Do you understand?"

For a moment, Dingodile didn't move. He just smirked.

"ANSWER ME!" Crunch barked. "DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?!!?"

Then Dingodile replied, "Oh, Crunch! YER SO STUPID!"

"Oh yeah?" Crunch snarled.

"Don't ya know? It's not you who's going ta kill me!" Dingodile growled. "It's ME who's going ta kill YOU!"

Crunch stepped back as he saw Dingodile take out a knife from his pocket and advanced.

"Don't you dare!" Crunch stammered, even though he knew Dingodile wouldn't listen.

"Say g'night, mate!" Dingodile exclaimed as he slammed the knife into Crunch's stomach. Crunch groaned, and then fell dead. He would move no more.
