A/N: Wow. I had just finished this chapter in college. Anyway, this will be a dark chapter. Oh, and here's something to say. Can you add what you think in the reviews. I kinda like long reviews. But anyway, enjoy.

Chapter 5: Evil awakened:

"Well, we're here" Crash said as they were outside the tree base of Uka Uka's base.

"OK, everyone. We have to destroy the Evolvo-Ray before Uka Uka or Demon Crash gets their hands on the power" Aku Aku said.

"So we had to slide down to get there?" asked Crunch.

"Well, Crash and Aku did it last time" Coco said.

As they reached the lab of the base, Coco and Crunch were shocked to see laser guns aiming at the mutants.

"Poor creatures" Coco said.

"How could they do such a thing?" asked Crunch.

"Hey, genius." Crash said "That what I was thinking about."

"Guys. We got to get going" Aku Aku said "Uka Uka will use the Evolvo-Ray soon."

"And I hope Demon Crash was just kidding when he said he needs the Evolvo-Ray" Crash said.

"I never kid around" Demon Crash said in Crash's mind.

Crash clutched his head.

"What is it?" asked Coco.

"I guess he was NOT kidding around" Crash said.

"So he was being serious" Crunch said.

"Every villain is serious about taking over the world" Aku Aku said.

"We got to hurry. I see an Electreel there." Crash said pointing to the green electricity titan.

"Then you know what to do" Aku said.

Crash nodded and used Aku to jack the Electreel. With it, they destroyed the orb to make the platform move. Coco and Crunch followed behind him. Then they were confronted by the Bunnies. Crash, Coco and Crunch defeated them in ease.

"You know… if they made mutants, how come these guys are always weak?" asked Crunch.

"Well, the villains were trying to distract us" Crash said.

"Why?" asked Coco.

"Because they really don't want us foiling their plans" Crash said.

"There's the entrance to Uka Uka's lair" Aku Aku said looking towards the doorway.

Crash's eyes turned red. "And that's where I get my prize." Then his eyes turned green again "Oh shut up already."

"Let me guess. Demon Crash is trying to control you again" Crunch groaned.

"I don't know how long I can hold on" Crash said.

"Then we must hurry" Aku said.

They entered into the hallway. The Evolvo-Ray is seen and so is Uka Uka.

"So you little insects had made it this far." Uka Uka said.

"UKA UKA!" Aku gasped.

"Glad you could make it. I have a little surprise for you".

"The Evolvo-Ray, right?" Crash asked.

"That's right. But this time I had the evil gems capable for powering myself to become the most powerful monster in the universe. And once I'll get rid of you, Cortex will fire the laser and destroy Wumpa Island."

"Not until we stop you first!" Coco said.

"HAHAHA! Nice speech, bandicoot female. But now it's time to fire the Evolvo-Ray and I will…" Uka Uka began as the Evolvo-Ray powered up. But Demon Crash won't allow it. He suddenly controlled Crash's body and punched Uka Uka out the Evolvo-Ray's way.

"WHAT?!" Uka Uka snapped.

"DEMON CRASH, NOOO!" Crash cried as the Evolvo-Ray's beam hit Crash.

Coco, Crunch and Aku Aku watched on in horror as Crash was screaming his lungs out. Then when it died down, Crash was replaced by Demon Crash.

"Demon Crash!" Crunch gasped.

Demon Crash cackled and slowly stood up and then laughed evilly. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! YES!!! I am now complete. And I have you, Uka Uka, to thank you for sorting out my problem."

"WHAT? So you're the evil of Crash. HOW DARE YOU STOLE MY POWER!" Uka Uka snarled.

"Yes. And I should be grateful. You helped me find what I was looking for. For your troubles, I shall give you a taste of my power."

Demon Crash's eyes flashed red and Uka Uka was flown back crashing into a wall.

"Uka Uka!" Crunch said.

Demon Crash cackled "What's wrong? Wasn't your evil more powerful than mine? What phoney."

"Crash! Come to your senses!" Coco pleaded, trying to save Crash.

Demon Crash laughed and turned to her "Don't waste your breath. Your brother is no more. I am the true evil. He and I had become one. Now I will send this world into darkness."

Suddenly, huge black bat wings appeared from his back and flew out of the base.

"CRASH! NO!" Coco cried.

Demon Crash flew into the sky and stopped. He held his hand in the air and smirked.

"Now, eternal darkness. Come to me!"

Then the sky turned grey as Demon Crash begins to spread the world into darkness.

At Cortex's base, Cortex, N. Gin and N. Brio watched in horror as the sky was turning grey.

"What's happening?" N. Gin gasped.

"Grr… someone trying to take over the world and it should be me!" Cortex snarled.

Pasadena and Spyro looked up in the sky. Pasadena, who begin crying, turned to Spyro.

"Spyro… is Crash…?" Pasadena began.

Spyro's eyes begins filling with tears. "Crash… NOOOOOOOO!!! CRASH!!!"

As the darkness begins to spread, Demon Crash laughed evilly.

"CRASH!!! STOP THIS!!!" Aku Aku roared. Demon Crash looked at them confused.

"Demon Crash! We won't let you do this! We'll stop you!" Crunch shouted.

"You stop me? Hehehehe. I admire your courage. I'll tell you what. I'll let this world one last chance. Come to the Time Twister Machine throne. That is where you fought Cortex last time. That will be my throne. If you defeat me, I'll return Crash to you. But lose, this planet will be mine to control." He laughed evilly and flew away.

"Come on Coco and Crunch, we got to get Crash back" Aku Aku said.

"Yeah" Crunch said.

"But how are we gonna fight Demon Crash?" asked Coco.

"You can't" Uka Uka said "I felt his power. He's too strong for any of us. The only way to beat him is Crash himself defeating Demon Crash."

"But to do that, we have to separate them." Crunch said.

"But how can we do that? I'll never see my brother again" Coco said.

"There is a way" Uka Uka said "I'm going to help you once because Demon Crash is interfering with our plans. The only way to separate the two Crashs is to use the 25 power crystals to separate them. Then Crash must use them to destroy Demon Crash."

"Crystals?" Coco said.

"Because the gems has been infected with evil, the crystals are not" Uka Uka said.

"Wait a second" Aku Aku said "I remember sealing the crystals in our house. I'll unseal it and we could use the crystals to help save Crash. Then, we go after Cortex and save Pasadena and Spyro. Let's go, Coco and Crunch."

Then they disappeared. Uka Uka went back to the base.

"Uka Uka, what happened?" asked Nina as Uka returned.

"Demon Crash stole my power and now put the world into darkness" Uka Uka said.

Tiny, who still have the barrel around him, was worried. "Oh no. That monster is now in control of Crash?"

"I gave my brother some advice. Before we continue with our plan, we have to wait when Demon Crash is defeated" Uka Uka said "his power was beyond mine."

"Damn him! He beaten me at the ruling the world. Aku Aku better take care of him, so we can continue with our plan." Cortex snarled.

Pasadena and Spyro listened to what they were saying.

"Do you think Aku Aku and the others will save Crash from his evil side?" Spyro asked.

"I hope so, or we never see Crash again" Pasadena said.

To be continued…

A/N: Uh oh. Now we got a cliffhanger. Can the others save Crash from Demon Crash who now had compelte control over him? You can decide. Well, see ya.
