A/N: OK. I had to make this different from Crash of the Titans so Nina is the first boss. Anyway, we get to see Crash's evil version is combat. Oh, and there will be violence in it so don't panic. Chapter 2 is up.

Chapter 2: A monster?

As the heroes climbed to the top, they found Cortex's blimp using the same pipe to suck the mojo from the temple.

"Again?" Crash groaned "we just beaten them once."

"So we put back the mojo into the temple for nothing?" Coco asked.

Crunch spotted Cortex with his niece, Nina Cortex, and his boss, Uka Uka and the prisoners, Pasadena and Spyro, who had their arms and legs trapped in locks.

"There they are!" Crunch called.

Nina spotted them "Hey, uncle. Look who came out to play?"

Cortex watched as Crash and the others approached them. "Crash, why do you always get in my way? This time, you won't succeed."

"Hey, Cortex. Why are you always trying to take over the world for?" Pasadena shouted.

"Well, actually, it's pretty fun" Cortex said.

"Alright, Cortex. What is your plan this time?" Crunch said.

"Remember the mojo? I will still make an army of mutants but my plan is this. I had build a huge laser beam machine that Nina and N. Gin made. I will use it to destroy Wumpa Island and take over the world!"

"Oh, and I thought you were rebuilding the Doominator" Crash smirked.

"Because that was a big failure" Aku Aku added.

"Laugh all you want" Cortex said "Now we have Crash's girlfriend and best friend…"

"She's not my girlfriend" Crash replied.

"Anyway, they will be our practice targets" Cortex smirked.

"You jerk" Spyro snapped "Crash, do something!"

"Nina, take care of Crash, my brother and their pathetic friends. Cortex and I will take the mojo and our prisoners back to our base" Uka Uka said.

"Finally… payback for ruining my plans last time" Nina said as she hopped off the platform and landed before the heroes. Cortex and Uka Uka got back into their ship and flew away.

"Cortex! Uka Uka!" Crash called but Nina stopped him.

"Sorry fur-ball, but you're not going anyway until I get my revenge" Nina said.

"Nina, do not fight Crash" Aku Aku warned her "if you do, then something bad might happen."

The voice inside Crash talked again. "So Nina wants a fight eh? Let's give it to her."

"No way I not letting you take over" Crash said to himself.

"What are you're talking to?" Nina asked.

"Crash, let me take care of Nina" Coco said "that way you don't have to fight. Besides, I got a score to settle with her."

Nina snarled at her "Get lost, Blondie. This has nothing to do with you!" And she used her mechanised arm to stretch up and grabbed Coco by the neck.

"COCO!" Crash and Crunch gasped.

"Surrender you fools, or this ones dies." Nina threatened.

But that was her big mistake.

Crash got so angry of having his sister threatened that the evil inside him took advantage. Crash gasped.

"Oh sh…" Crash said.

"Now, become part of me!"

Crash yells in pain as his fur has turned orange to red. His eyes turned red and his eyes lids turned black. The spikes came up from his shoulders and claws appears.

Nina watched in shock as Crash finished transforming. Crash looked up to her showing sharp teeth.

"This… can't be good" Crunch said.

"Crunch" Aku Aku said "it is I feared. Crash's evil side has taken over Crash because Nina was about to kill Coco."

"Can't we do something to save him?" asked Crunch.

Nina, in fear, dropped Coco. "W…What is this? What's going on here?"

"You want to play, Nina?" Crash said in a deep evil voice. "Very well." He smirked evilly "let's play."

In a huge speed, Crash used his claws and slashed Nina on the face. Nina was in shock as she saw blood trickle down her face. Crash smirked at that as he licked her blood off his claws.

"Eww… that was pretty unnecessary. Disgusting" Coco said, shocked.

"Sweet" Crash said.

"How dare you!" Nina snarled "You'll pay for mocking me!"

Nina used her arms to try to grab Crash, but Crash grabbed it. Crash continued evil smiling as he crushes her hand. Nina screamed in pain as her hand was completely crushed.

"Oh man" Coco and Crunch stepped away in fear "I had no idea Crash had this much power."

"Or playing it ruthless" Aku Aku said "we got to stop Crash before he kills Nina."

"Any ideas?" asked Coco.

"Try reasoning with him. Maybe he will come to his senses" Aku Aku said.

Meanwhile, poor Nina was still getting by the evil version of Crash. She keep getting slashed by Crash, who was cackling evilly. After 50 slashes, Nina fell down, some of her clothes are torn and she was bleeding. Crash smiled nastily.

"Well, that was fun, but now it's time for you to die" Crash said.

"Crash! That's enough!" Coco said as she leapt in front of Nina to confront Crash.

"Get out the way little girl!" Crash said.

"No. Not like this. Look at you, Crash. What happened to you?" Coco bent her head down "I want my old brother back."

Crash laughed nastily. "Nice try. But the Crash you know is gone."

"Wrong!" Good Crash said again coming out of the evil Crash's mouth. "I can still be free."

"You stay out of this" Evil Crash snarled.

"NEVER!"

Then the evil Crash roared and a flash of light came that everyone has to cover their eyes. Once it died down, they look up to see the good version of Crash again, panting.

"I… I am sorry, Coco" Crash said.

"It's ok, Crash" Coco said as she held his hands. "I hope it never happened again."

Nina wobbled up. "You… what happened to you. You're too strong in that form. You're a monster!"

"A… monster?" Crash gasped.

"You lost, Nina" Aku Aku said.

"You think you won, Bandicoots? Well, uncle and Uka Uka has got away with the mojo and your friends. You'll never find them in time" Nina said "but you keep away, Crash. I don't want to fight you again, you monster!" And she runs away using jet pack boots.

"Am I a monster guys?" asked Crash.

"No, Crash. It's that evil inside you who is the monster. Now we see what it can do. We got to keep it under control" Crunch said.

"Come on you guys. We don't have time to lose. We got to get Pasadena and Spyro back" Aku Aku said.

"That's right!" Coco said.

"Of course" Crash said.

"Crash, we got to follow Nina and find out where they taken Spyro and Pasadena" Aku Aku said.

"But, promise me one thing" Crash said "if the evil ever emerge from me again, please help me restore myself."

"Of course" Crunch said.

"We won't let that monster control you again" Coco said.

Crash hears his evil form inside him. "You may have won this battle, but the next time, I won't be let up so easily."

"We'll just see about that" Crash said.

Back at Cortex Castle, Nina waddled to where Cortex, Uka Uka, Tiny, N. Gin, N. Tropy and N. Brio are. Cortex saw her and gasped.

"NINA! What happened to you? Did those bandicoots did this to you?!" Cortex shouted.

"It was Crash, a monster form of Crash" Nina said.

"A monster form of the rat?" N. Tropy asked.

"Yes. I saw him transform. He has red fur, sharp teeth, claws, red eyes and his power is unbelievable." Nina said.

"Cortex. Is this your doing?" Uka Uka asked.

"No, Uka Uka" Cortex said "I don't remember Crash being evil. But we should test him. They should be arriving at the factory. Tiny, go see if Nina's story is true. If so, report back."

"Do I have to?" Tiny groaned "I mean, he's just too good for me. And if he said was true…"

"Aren't you angry that he didn't put you in his keyblade story?" asked Brio.

"Oh yeah" Tiny said remembering reading Bandicoot Hearts 1 and 2. "Excuse me" and he left.

To be continued…
