Chapter 4- Thursday

Dingodile was fed up with it all. He had waken up an hour earlier than everyone else. He didn't care if he got caught this time, he just didn't want to hurt the bandicoots. He went into Cortex's lab and sneaked past him and opened up a trap door hidden under a rug that he'd seen Cortex use before. As soon as he went down a few steps and a dark chamber, he came to a door. It had a large N on it. He went to turn the knob, but then a little panel next to the door opened up.

"Retna scan please. You have 10 seconds left. 9, 8, 7...

"Oh, no!" gasped Dingodile." I gotta get oughta here!"

"What is the meaning of this?" said Cortex with a long yawn, standing in front of the stairs. "Dingodile? Is that you?"

"I..I..." said Dingodile, with a weak defense.

Later that day, Dingodile was on his way...out. It's hard to tell where could have gone...

"Now that he's gone, we can get back to work...PEACEFULLY!" yelled Cortex, trying to make a point to everyone else.

"Cortex, I have finished the final model of the Super Evolvo-Ray." said N. Gin.

"Great! This is coming along quite well! Now, minions!" yelled Cortex. "Go and do something while we work on the rest of the ray."

Cortex went up to N. Brio's lab.

"I have completed the fuel." said N. Brio, stretched out in his rocking chair.

"Good. Now I'll put the rest of the pieces together, and let the bandicoots have a piece of me!" laughed Cortex evilly.

Cortex went to his lab and got out the welder and a bunch of small and a few big doodads and little pieces of scientific stuff. He spent hours inserting pieces and welding and programming. Then, finally, he was done!

"I have finally completed the rest of the ultimate weapon! The Super Evolvo-Ray is now operational!" laughed Cortex evilly. "Now to inform the minions of this accomplishment, and then I shall get a good nights rest and be in perfect shape for tomorrow! The day that I shall finally defeat the bandicoots! HAHAHAHAHAAA!"

Cortex informed everyone and then went to bed...

But earlier that day, not much earlier, but earlier...

Knock, knock, knock...

"Crunch, get the door please." said Coco. Crunch grumbled as he got out of his chair from watching television and answered the door.

"What do you want...HEY!"

"I..uhh...I mean no harm and I'm actually lookin' for help..." replied atired voice.

"Well, there's no help from a bandicoot for you, ya evil loser!" yelled Crunch as he slamed the door shut.

"Who was it?" asked Coco as she dried off her hands from washing dishes.

"It was that one loser with the...

CRASH, BAM!

"What the?" replied Crunch after he was interupted.

"Oh, I hope that wasn't Crash. I shouldn't have sent him out to gather that wumpa fruit..." said Coco.

Crash walked in scattering wumpa fruit everywhere as he triumphantly held up Dingodile, beat up and tired looking.

"I...owww...I need help..." said Dingodile weakly.

"Why did you come here of all places then?" asked Coco angrilly. Then Aku Aku came into the room.

"What is he doing here?" said Aku Aku as he yawned.

"Cortex... he...kicked me out. I tried stopping him..." said Dingodile fainting.

"Awww... DANG! He fainted and he said something about Cortex... It sounds like another evil plan!" said Crunch.

"Well, we'll let him stay for now... Then when he wakes up, we can find out about Cortex's evil plan." said Aku Aku.

Then they all went to bed, not knowing what fate was to fall upon them the next morning!
