Chapter 5 - Preperations Are Complete
"Crash, is that Wumpa launcher working?" Crunch questioned.
Crash loaded up a wumpa fruit into the launcher and fired it at a nearby boulder, the wumpa fruit exploded into pile of mush.
"Yes, it's working fine!" Crash replied.
The three bandicoots had searched all night and had managed to gather two hundred fellow animal friends to aid them in the fight against Cortex. They were all busy preparing supplies, ready for whatever may come. Coco walked over to Crash with a worried look on her face.
"Crash, I don't like this!"
"None of us do sis, but we HAVE to fight,we cannot let Cortex win this battle!"
"But just look at the animals Crash, they don't know the first thing of combat!"
Coco pointed to the group of animals who had accepted to help. They were all looking at each other, confused looks across their faces. One curious gorilla was holding a wumpa launcher up to his face, but Crunch quickly took it away. Crash gave a sigh.
"I was hoping it wouldn't come to this, but we need all the help we can get in times like this. Everyone needs to help everyone else."
Coco lowered her head.
"Do you really think we can win this?" she asked.
There was a slight moment of silence before Crash turned and looked at his sister in the eyes and put his hands on her shoulders.
"All we can do is hope and pray that we can." Crash's voice quivered as he held back the tears.
The sun was beginning to set on another day, and it was starting to get cold, the wind was biting at everyone's faces.
"Come on, we'd better get some rest, who knows what tomorrow holds for us."
Crash, Coco and the others made their way back to the hut, all with sombre expressions, for tomorrow was the beginning of the war, and it could possibly be the last day of their lives.
Meanwhile, at the ruins of Cortex Castle, there was a huge amount of activity. Something was being constructed, something that had never even been dreamt of before, something evil, and something that would mean the end of N.Sanity island. The only being that knew exactly what the infernal contraption was, was Cortex.
One of Cortex's mindless, enslaved workers marched up towards Cortex, who was gazing out at the islands landscape.
"Preperations are complete, the first attack wave is ready, and the machine is being constructed as I speak!"
Cortex sniggered, "excellent work, make sure the animals are all ready to move at the break of dawn!"
"Yes sir!" with that said, the worker returned to his station.
"Tomorrow Crash, you will witness true power like you have never witnessed before, I hope you are ready for it!"
