Chapter 3- Wednesday
Cortex sat up in his bed early in the morning, laughing. He had a dream that he used his Super Evolvo-Ray on Crash,Coco,and Crunch. They had turned into his permanent minions with no questions asked. Exactly how Cortex wanted it to work. He already had the programming panel for it completed, but he knew that the harder parts to it were coming up. He got out of his bed and walked over to where he had layed the Super Evolvo-Ray programming panel. It had fell to the floor and the memory block piece had fallen out. He picked it up and put it into place and set it down as he went to get dressed. As he came out of the bathroom, he grabbed a welder off of his counter and headed back to the programming panel. He welded the memory block back onto the panel and set it down again. He didn't set off the alarm because he was going to give the minions this day off.
N. Brio and N. Gin walked into Cortex's lab.
"When are we going to get started on the rest of this Evolvo-Ray?" asked N. Brio, pointing at the panel.
"Yeah, all the minions are up now and want something to do." said N. Gin, holding the door closed.
"What're ya doin' in there?" asked Dingodile from behind the door.
"Tiny want to smash something!" said Tiny.
"All, right." Cortex whispered to N. Gin and N. Brio. "N. Brio, you start working on a special type of formula or fuel to power up the gun. N. Gin, grab those blueprints over there and start working on a sturdy design for the Super Evolvo-Ray. I'll take care of the minions and help them get whatever you guys need."
"Right!" said N. Brio and N. Gin. They walked out of the room and to their labs to start working. Cortex ordered the minions to go and wait in the waiting room for later orders. The minions sat down and started watching tv. Cortex checked on N. Gin.
"Need anything yet?" asked Cortex.
"No, but by time I get to the zapper of the gun, I'll need a strong piece of metal. But that'll probably be tomorrow." said N. Gin.
Cortex went up a few stairs and down a corridor and checked on N. Brio.
"Need anything?" asked Cortex.
"Ummm, well yes. I'll need five pounds of wumpa fruit, some octopus ink, and a jug of orange juice." said N. Brio.
"Orange juice? For what?" asked Cortex.
"Working makes me thirsty! And I also need my vitamins." said N. Brio.
"Oh, all right." said Cortex.
He walked back down to the waiting room and signaled the minions to come with him to get five pounds of wumpa fruit, some octopus ink, and a jug of orange juice.
"Why do we need five pounds a wumpa fruit?" asked Dingodile.
"Octopus ink?" said Komodo Moe.
"Ask N. Brio..." said Cortex in a bored voice.
They walked outside and traveled deep into the forest, in search of wumpa fruit. In everyone's surprise, most of the wumpa fruit was gone! Tiny knocked a tree down and took every single piece of wumpa fruit off of it. He weighed it on a scale.
"Only two pounds!" said Tiny. He handed the fruit to Koala Kong and took down another tree getting three more pounds to equal five pounds.
"Good. Now for the octopus ink." said Cortex.
They arrived at the beach of N. Sanity island.
"Who's going to go and get the octopus ink?" asked Cortex. Nobody raised their hand. "Koala Kong, why don't you do it?" said Cortex.
"Aww, do I have to..." whined Koala Kong.
"Koala Kong, WHY DON'T YOU DO IT?" yelled Cortex between clenched teeth.
"Yikes! Okay, OKAY!" said Koala Kong as he jumped into the water. It had seemed like hours as the minions waited on the beach. Then Koala Kong jumped out of the water, holding an octopus. Cortex held out a bottle as Koala Kong squeezed ink out of it.
"Okay." said Cortex. Koala Kong threw the octopus what seemed to be miles out into the water. Then they finally went to the store to pick up some orange juice. As Cortex walked through isles, he noticed a few bottles of octopus ink, sitting on some shelves.
"What the...!" stammered Cortex. "Ohh, never mind..."
They returned back to the castle and brought everything to N. brio's lab.
"Where's the wumpa fruit?" asked N. Brio. Koala Kong belched and looked at everyone staring at him.
"What?" said Koala Kong.
"Now we have to go get more wumpa fruit. And it's nearly night time!" sighed Cortex.
"Umm, Cortex? I need that strong piece of metal now." said N. Gin.
"AAARRRGGGHHHH!" yelled Cortex.
"What?" said N. Gin. Cortex rushed to his room and back. He handed a strong piece of metal to N. Gin. Cortex rushed back to his lab and slammed the door shut.
"Finally! Peace and quiet to myself!" sighed Cortex. he looked to the floor and saw the panel on the floor again. The memory block broke off again.
"Why me?" cried Cortex.
