Jack stood out of his chair stunned as he addressed the two doppelgangers in front of him, "WHY?"
the white eyed Jack responded in the same calm tone as before, "Like we already told you, YOU are US and we are YOU." Jack shook his head "No, That I get, what I'm having trouble figuring out is why you two chose to call upon me your container now of all times?"
The young man raked his hand through his brown hair quizzically as he sat back in his chair, the black eyed doppelganger responded next, coughing to clear his throat for a moment. "I can help with that.." He said trailing off as a mirror appeared laying across the table, before showing a picture of a man with an absurdly large head.
"Who's this guy?" Jack asked as he took note of the giant N on top of the man's head. "His name is Dr. Neo. Cortex, his time of death is coming soon, you need to make sure you're the one that does him in."
Jack raised an eyebrow as he look at his doppelgangers as if they were crazy, "What so I'm supposed to be some sort of grim reaper?"
To his surprise the two nodded. "Yes, actually. First though we need to have you accept your powers and us." Jack thought it over for a few moments before he realized if he didn't do as they said he'd never get out of there, so albeit begrudgingly, he nodded. "Okay then. What do I have to do?" The two doppelgangers nodded each holding out a hand for Jack to take.
"Just take each of our hands in yours, we'll take care of the rest.." The white eyed doppelganger said before the black eyed Jack spoke up giving a cautious look, "Just keep in mind that your appearance and attire might change ounce we finish.." Jack thanked him for the warring before doing as he was told to.
Within seconds there was a bright flash of white and black lights as Jack and his doppelgangers begin to float in the air, before Jack could process what was happening his doppelgangers began to merge into his being. After a few more moments the light faded away leaving Jack the only one there, he tried to get a good look at the changes the merge caused but he didn't get a chance as he passed out looking much like how he did when first came to..
Back On The Wumpa Islands..
Coco was up early that morning which she was used too, considering her brother Crash's sleeping habits, one of the two had to be up early to make sure Crash didn't sleep the day away. However as she was working on her bedhead after getting changed out of her sleepwear a shout rang out, startling her from her thoughts. Acting quickly she ran out to the living room of her home, what she found though she never would have expected. There standing, looking around in confusion, was the man she and her family saved the other night, however now he looked and seemed very much awake.
Noticing he hadn't heard her come in, she decided too make her presence known.
"Uh, hello there." She said a bit nervously, not knowing how he would react. Jack for his part, looked liked he jumped out of his skin before he turned around to address the unknown girl who had just spoke. "Jezz, you startled me. Did I wake you?" He asked as he began to rub the back of his neck embarrassed, Coco giggled a little seeing a bit of her brother in the man. Seeing her laugh Jack raised an eyebrow, "Something funny?" Coco quickly responded still giggling. "No no, it's just the way you act reminds me of my brother." Jack shrugged chuckling a little to himself.
"Oh, ok then."
Coco nodded before continuing, "To answer your earlier question though; no, you didn't wake me up. I was already up when I heard you shout and came to check it out." Jack nodded before saying "Alright then, may I ask your name miss?" Jack asked trying to be polite, Coco giggled again before responding, "I'm Coco, what's your name?" Jack smiled thinking her name sounded pretty and cute but he kept that thought to himself, "Nice to meet you Coco, I'm Jack." He said offering her a handshake which she returned.
"You said you had a brother right?" Jack asked seeing the blond nod he continued "Any idea where he might be? I'd like to meet the rest of your family quick if you don't mind." Coco shock her head, "I don't mind at all, come on I'll let everyone know you're awake so you can introduce yourself!" She said leading her new friend out of her home in an energetic manner, while Jack chuckled to himself as he was pulled along by the bandicoot girl. ("Something tells me I'm gonna like it here...")
After a few minutes that consisted of getting Crash awake & getting everyone together Jack finally introduced himself too the rest of the bandicoots and Aku-Aku whom accepted him with open arms, which he was thankful for. Jack then cleared his throat, before speaking something that had been in his mind sense he had first woke up in Coco's home. "Do any of you know a man that goes by the name of Cortex?" He asked, his expression turning serious as he noticed the bandicoots stiffen up at the mention of that man's name before giving him curious looks.
"Yes, we know of him." Aku-Aku said, giving Jack another look. "He's our worst enemy actually.." Crash said trailing off to look at the sky where a blimp floated along near by, "Why do you need him?" Aku-Aku asked saying the question that had been on everyone of the bandicoot's minds, Jack sighed before responding "Let's just say, I've got a job involving that man..." Jack said leaving the group even more confused. "What kind of Job do you have?" Coco asked, almost worried to get more clarification on the vague explanation.
Jack just muttered "I was hopping too avoid this.." under his breath before deciding he couldn't skirt around the subject or sugarcoat it anymore then he already did, plus he wanted the bandicoot family to be able to trust him not be suspicious of him.
"I have to kill him."
