Here's the forth chapter guys! You know the drill by now read and review.

Now before I let ya'll get started on this chapter I want to make one thing clear.

Cortex is NOT I repeat NOT going to die this quickly, wouldn't be any fun to have the main bad guy kick the bucket this quick don't you think?

Lastly have fun! And before I forget I do not own crash bandicoot or any of the series's characters they are all owned by their respective owners.


Cortex looked mildly shocked, as he took in Jack's new monster like state, before his face suddenly twisted into an evil smirk. "My you really are a strange one, however I'm afraid I don't have time to play with you. But Tiny would be overjoyed to play.." Cortex then trailed off as he begin pushing buttons on his hovercraft, before beginning to teleport away. However before the doctor could fully fade Jack roared out "NO YOU DON'T!" taking his white scythe and flinging it at the man, making it spin in a buzz saw motion as he did.

The blade hit the doctor in his right arm, slicing it clean off at the man's shoulder, as the now one armed man yelled out in great pain before fully fading away. Seeing his kill now gone, Jack took a moment to gain control of his nerves, making his skin return as he took a glance at the now limp arm that now lay in the beaches sand, mixing sand with still flowing blood from the severed appendage. "He should consider that a warring.." Jack growled out as he quickly lit the arm ablaze turning it into ash that would scatter too the wind.

"...Because the next time the doctor and I meet, I won't be so merciful!" The man said taking a moment to pick up the white blade he had thrown and placing it onto his back to join it's counterpart, after which he turned to find the bandicoots looking at him with flabbergasted looks. "What was that just now?" Coco asked the girl having trouble finding her voice. Jack just sighed before beginning to explain, "That, my friends is what happens when I get serious about my job as a reaper. However I have to be careful to not loose control of my emotions.."

He said trailing off as Coco looked even more confused, "What happens if you do?" The girl asked, almost scarred to hear the answer.

Jack then held out both of his hands before lighting a flame in each, a white one for the left, and a black one in the right. "Much like my blades if I loose control I could either end up transforming into a heavenly angel.." He said trailing off as he held out his left hand as he did, "...Or into a monster from the deepest, darkest pit's of hell." He finished, holding out the black flame in his right hand as he did. However the group didn't get to dwell on that for long, as they suddenly noticed a giant tiger fall from the sky in front of them, looking like they had been on steroids for way too long.

The newcomer suddenly roared at them before speaking like a man that had more brawn then brain, "TINY CRUSH BANDICOOTS AND STRANGE MAN!" Jack just scoffed pulling out what looked like a ball of yarn as he did, "You must be Tiny. You look like you could use some exercise, here catch THIS!" He said chucking the ball of yarn deep into the jungle as hard as he could. On instinct the giant tiger began chasing the ball much like a tiny kitten, "YARNNN!" He roared as he disappeared into the deep jungle leaving the rest of the group shocked aside from Jack who smirked.

"Wow long do you think it'll be till he realizes he's been duped?" The man laughed turning to look Crash in the eye as he did, Crash responded back "Most likely 40 minutes at most." Jack nodded, "Good, that'll give me sometime to recover from transforming in broad daylight then.."


40 Minutes Later


Tiny was having fun hunting for the ball of yarn the strange man had thrown earlier, he felt like a little tiger cub again after such a long time! He eventually found where the ball had landed, he reared his head down intending to put it in his mouth when he froze. Eyes wide as dinner plates as at that moment the giant tiger could have sworn he heard a donkey braying in the distance and saw the word JACKASS plastered on his forearm in bold. Within seconds the tiger roared out in rage as he realized he had been duped before heading back to the beach on all fours, looking more like a bull in a china shop as he began to tear through the forest leaving nothing standing.

The group looked stunned as they took in all the damage Tiny had caused to not only the island but also their homes, they knew they had too do something but they also knew better then to try and approach a wild animal that had just been ticked off, lest they wanted to be it's next meal. Crash cursed to himself ashamed that he had let the damage become this bad, if he had done something! ANYTHING! None of this would have happened! Jack however just vanished and appeared in front of the raging tiger before clasping his hands around the beast's neck, muttering "Okay kitty cat, I think you need a time out!"

As he said those words he flipped him over his head bending his own body back as he did, before he slammed the tiger's head into the ground! after that he let the beast fall down in a heap knocked out, before grabbing one of the tigers legs and spinning him like he was a hammer in a throwing contest at the olympics and launching him into the blimp he had come from. He then turned to survey the damage, inhaling sharply through his teeth as he did. "Damn it! This shouldn't have happened!" Crash screamed out as he began to look down at his feet in anger.

Coco looked at Aku-Aku with tears filling her eyes, "Please tell me you can fix this!" She begged the tiki, whom had been quiet the entire time during the exchanges between Cortex and Tiny, just shock hid head in dismay. "Even if I COULD fix all this Coco, there's no way too tell how long it could take. Days,months or maybe even years, I just don't know!" The mask said sadly as the tears in the young bandicoot's eyes began to flow freely, not being held back anymore. "No..NO IT CAN'T BE TRUE!" She screamed out, having to rely on her brother for comfort.

"I know sis, I know.." Crash said holding his sister close as a single tear fell from his eye. Jack felt a pain in his heart as he took in the seane in front of him, there had too be something he could do but what..? Jack's eyes suddenly widened as an idea struck, he quickly went away from the group quietly as to not raise suspicion before pulling out what looked to be a cell phone and pushing the speed dial. "Hey it's me.." "Yes, I know we haven't talked in forever." "Listen I'll make this quick I met a few new friends on an island on the coast of Australia..."

He waited for the person on the other end to respond before continuing, "Yes the wumpa islands exactly." He waited again, "Yes they've lost their home, beyond repair..." He then waited before beginning to smile, "Okay I'll ask them and contact you shortly." With that he ended the call before returning to the group getting everyone's attention as he did, "Okay everyone I just got off the phone with someone that may be able to help you." Coco whipped her eyes before looking at him with confusion, "Can they fix our island?" She asked, hope filling her tone.

Jack looked at her sadly, "Not exactly." She then looked a bit angry, "Then what can they do?!" Jack held up his hands defensively, before responding. "They can offer you all the best thing for you all." The group's eyes grew to the size of dinner plates, before the tiki man responded for the group. "What would that be?" Jack gave a small smile placing a hand on Coco's shoulder, before pulling her close.

"A new PERMANENT home..."
