Here's Chapter 2 of Calvin's Crash Bandicoot. Enjoy!
Susie can't believe her eyes! A tiger is right beside Calvin and he is not even surprised! "Whatever you're planning bandicoot alien scum, we're here to stop you!" Calvin said bravely. "Alien scum?" The bandicoot asked. "Yeah. You are an alien, right?" Hobbes asked. "No, I am just a bandicoot." The bandicoot said innocently. "But bandicoots don't wear pants where we come from." Susie protested. "What did they teach you in school, Reality of Animals?" The bandicoot said sarcastically. "Who are you, anyway?" Calvin asked. "My name is Crash Bandicoot." The bandicoot said. "Good day to you, Mr. Bandicoot. My name is Susie, the boy name is Calvin and I think the tiger's name is Mr. Hobbes." Susie said with a curtsy. Don't mind her, Crash. She been to manners school." Calvin said. "Okay. So what are you doing here?" Crash asked. "Forgive us but we thought you were aliens." Susie said. "Well, I'm no alien, but right down I am alien-hunting." Crash said. "What?" Calvin, Hobbes and Susie asked in unison. "You see, there is an alien named Velo who kidnapped me and my friends and ex-enemies and forced us to race in his ridiculous racing tournament, otherwise he will destroy the earth." Calvin, Hobbes and Susie gasped. "That's horrible!" Susie said. "Yeah, well we have to race against his cronies, Krunk, Nash, Norm and Geary. We did that and finally raced against Velo. We won but Velo still threaten to destroy the world." Crash continued. "But that's not fair!" Susie protested. "Since when do villains play fair?" Calvin said. Susie just stop to think. Then, finally said "Good point." Susie commented. "So what happened?" Hobbes asked Crash. "We have to collect strange objects called time relics by breaking time limits and collecting tokens. Then, we raced Velo again and won." Crash finished. "Did Velo let you go?" Hobbes asked. "No." Crash blankly said. "What?" Calvin, Hobbes and Susie screamed. "Don't worry guys, you see. Velo got really mad and exploded." Crash said leaving unconvinced faces on Calvin, Hobbes and Susie. "You kidding, right?" Calvin said. "No, you don't understand. Velo was a robot." Crash countered. "A robot?" Calvin asked. "But that's means someone has created him." Susie said. "That's right, Susie." Crash praised. "So I guess the real Velo is the creator." Hobbes said. "That's right." Crash said. "Anyway, Velo wants revenge by making Earth one of his slave planets." "What?" Calvin, Hobbes and Susie screamed again. "Guys, chill. The way Velo will make Earth a slave planet if he has these." Crash finished his sentence by showing the three a power crystal. "That's the crystal we saw before!" Susie stated. "Yes. As long Velo doesn't have any power crystals we're safe." Crash said. "Oh." Calvin said. "So all we have to do is reopen the portal and send you guys home." Crash said. "What? After knowing our world is in danger? Yeah right! I am fighting too!" Calvin protested. "What?" Crash, Hobbes and Susie said surprised. "Calvin, it's too dangerous!" Susie said. "Yeah, and besides, you can't fight!" Crash agreed. "Says who?" Calvin protested again. "As much as I hate to admit, Calvin can be scary if you get him angry." Hobbes said, commenting his friend. "I do karate." Calvin said. "I don't care you can do magic, you are not fighting!" Crash protested. "I don't care! I'm coming! All my life I wanted to go on an big adventure like this. Well, I didn't expect to save the world but I am still coming!" Calvin said determined. "You won't take "no" for an answer, would you?" Crash said. "Nope." Calvin said. Crash just sighed, and then smiled. "Okay, you win. You can fight with us. We are looking for new recruits anyway." "Really, I can fight?" Calvin said surprised. Crash just nodded. "Oh, cool! Crash, you won't regret this!" Calvin said excited. "What about you two?" Crash said referring to Hobbes and Susie. "I am not letting Calvin get himself into danger and besides, who wants to be a slave?" Hobbes said. "Susie, what about you?" Crash asked, "I am not fighting." Susie blankly said. "That's okay, Susie. You don't have to fight. You can go home." Hobbes said in sympathy. "Actually, can I come too? Not to fight but cheer you on." Susie asked. "Well, okay." Crash said. "Let's go to the control room and introduce you three to the others. With that, the four walked down the hall.
The four reached a dark room with lots of technical stuff. Also, a she-bandicoot with a blonde ponytail with a blue flower in it. She has a white shirt with a pink heart on it and has light blue joggers and pink sneakers. She was typing on the computer. "Hey, Coco." Crash said. "Oh, hey Crash." Coco said as she turned around to see Crash with two kids and a tiger. "Oh, who those three?" Coco asked. "Coco." Crash said proudly. "These are the new recruits, Calvin, Hobbes and Susie." "Yo!" "Hi!" "Good day, miss." The three greeted. "Hi, My name is Coco Bandicoot. Sister of Crash Bandicoot." Coco said. "Sister?" Calvin asked. "Yep." Crash nodded. "Can you fight?" Coco asked. "Well, Hobbes and I can but Susie is just here for support." Calvin said. "Then, why you said she was a recruit, Crash?" Coco asked. "Yeah, I was wondering that myself." Susie said. "Well, she smart. I thought she could help us." Crash said. "I hate to admit it but she is pretty smart. She even knew what species Crash is." Calvin said. "Well, okay! Welcome to the Crash Team!" Coco congratulated while shaking their hands. "Cool! Who else made the cut?" Calvin asked. "And ruin the surprise? Perish the thought!" Crash said with a smirk. "Looks like we have to find out for ourselves!" Hobbes said to the kids who nodded. The bandicoots decided to not to tell the new recruits about the other members but instead let them find out by giving them a tour of the place.
So the five walked down the hall until they saw two men. The first man is short with yellow skin, has a Mohawk and black, both black-haired. He has a "N" on his forehead. He has a white lab coat and black boots and gloves. The second man has a missile in his head. He was a cyborg. One half has pink skin and red hair and a white lab coat that looks like somebody shot him lots of times. The other half with missile his face has grey metal skin. He has black boots. "What do you mean you lost the lock of Velo?" The human screamed at the cyborg. "I'm sorry, Cortex but he is a slippery alien." The cyborg said. "Well, I don't care. You are supposed to be a genius! Now use that genius brain and find Velo!" Cortex screamed. "Lay off, Cortex!" Crash said getting the two's attention. "Hey, guys. What with the three?" Cortex asked. "These are our new recruits, Calvin, Hobbes and Susie." Coco explained. "Those three helping us fight Velo?" Cortex said in disbelief. "Actually, Susie is helping with the research." Coco corrected. "Who cares? They look weak! Send them back!" Cortex yelled. Everyone was applauded at Cortex's response. Then, Calvin lost his temper and punched Cortex in the eye, making it black. "That's what you get for calling me weak!" Calvin yelled. Everyone giggled including the cyborg named... "N.Gin! What are you laughing at?" Cortex yelled, rubbing his eye. "Ah, nothing, Cortex." N.Gin said nervously. Cortex just sighed. "Look, just get back to work before..." Before Cortex could finish, a giant orange blur run past Cortex causing him to spin non-stop. "What the heck?" Calvin asked silently. The blur stopped. It appears to be a muscular orange tiger with gold, giant waistbands, brown shoulder pads with spikes, a green loin cloth and white and blue roller-skates which explains why he was going so fast. Cortex finally stopped spinning in time to finish his sentence. "...Tiny comes." Cortex, then fell on the floor in dizziness. Tiny, then saw the new recruits and skated to them. "Who are tiger and kids?" Tiny asked. "The boy is Calvin, the girl is Susie and the tiger is Hobbes." Coco explained. "Hello, new friends of Tiny." Tiny said as he gave them a back-breaking bear hug causing them to choke. "Yeah, we like you, too." Hobbes said choking. "It depends on what you mean by "like"." Calvin said choking as well. Tiny let go leaving the three gasping for air and Crash and Coco laughing. "Tiny, you know you're not supposed roller-skate in the castle." N.Gin scolded. "Tiny sorry but Tiny bored." Tiny said. "Well, as long as you're here, you might as well help me move stuff." N.Gin sighed. "Okay. Tiny help N.Gin." Tiny said and with that, they went to work while Cortex just stayed, still dizzy. "Should we help him up?" Susie asked. "No, let's just leave him here." Calvin said as everyone laughed and moved on.
They went on until they saw a green dinosaur playing Jump-Rope. "Hey, B.T." Crash said with a smile getting B.T.'s attention. "Crash, you're here!" B.T. said jumping on Crash, knocking him over. "B.T., chill. I only been gone for a few minutes!" Crash said. "I know but I been bored!" B.T. said. "Awww, how cute!" Susie said. "Oh, hi. My name is B.T., short for Baby. T." B.T. introduced. "Hi, B.T., I am Susie and those two are Calvin and Hobbes." Susie introduced. "Hi, guys. Did Crash told you about me?" B.T. said. "Actually, he wants to keep it a surprise for us." Hobbes said. "Yeah! Because we are the recruits!" Calvin said smugly. "Cool!" B.T. said in happiness. "We are giving them a tour." Crash said. "Cool! Can I come too?" B.T. asked. "Sure." Crash said. "Yay!" B.T. said as he jumped for joy.
The six has walked the hall to a room. Inside was a strange creature. He has the body of a dingo with brown fur and tan long pants. But he has a green crocodile tail. He was reading a book on his bed. "Dingodile?" Coco asked. "Huh? Oh, good day, mates. How are you doing?" Dingodile asked putting down the book. "Well, we are showing our new recruits the castle." Crash said. "Yeah, I'm Hobbes, that Susie and, uh-oh. The person drooling about your flamethrower is Calvin." Hobbes introduced as Calvin looked at the flamethrower. "Oh, cool! You have your own flamethrower?" Calvin said excited. "Uh, yeah. Don't you." Dingodile joked. "My parents won't let me." Calvin said sadly. "I wonder why." Crash coughed. "Anyway, we are glad to meet you Dingodile." Hobbes said shaking Dingodile's hand. "Same to you mate." Dingodile said. The six left Dingodile who gotten sad all of the sudden. "I thought she wanted to talked to be alone." He frowned.
The six walked to an exercise room. "Here is the training room where practice our fighting moves, and oh, Calvin, you might like those two." Crash introduced. Calvin looked to see a brown muscular bandicoot lifting weights. He has green camo pants and brown combat boots. He has a metal ring on his left arm and a full metal arm on his right. The other one was a komodo dragon slashing barrels being shot at him with a katana. He wore a yellow helmet with a spike on it. A purple robe and white shirt and pants. "Whoa!" Calvin said in amazement. "They're tough." Hobbes stated. "I hope they are nice." Susie said a bit scared. "Don't worry, Susie. I'm sure they're friendly." Hobbes said. "I don't know. If you get off the wrong foot with them, they will hold a grudge against you." Crash said. Susie just shook in fear. "Crash, don't scare the poor girl!" Coco yelled at her brother. "Let's just move on." Hobbes suggested. "Wait! I want to show how capable I am!" Calvin said. "So you want to try one of the machines?" Crash asked. Calvin nodded. "Okay, here is an easy one." Crash said. Pointing to a conveyor belt. "This is a machine sends platforms at you and you have to dodge them." Crash said. "This is a test of speed, endurance and jumping." Coco said. "Okay, then." Calvin nodded as he went on the machine. Crash pushed a button on the control panel. Platforms was being sent at Calvin at a slow rate. Calvin just as easily ducked and jumped over them. "Wow, he's good." Crash praised. "Yeah, I know." Hobbes said. Suddenly, the machine started going faster. "Um, Crash. Is the machine supposed to go faster?" Susie asked a bit worried. "Not what Cortex told me." Crash said worried as well. Then, the machine started to go super-fast. "Okay, I sure that the machine isn't supposed to go that fast!" Crash yelped in surprise. Calvin was literally jumping up and down to avoid the platforms. "Crash, Hobbes, Coco, B.T., Susie, anyone! Help! Please!" He screamed. The komodo dragon and the muscular bandicoot stopped what they are doing to see Calvin dodge super-fast platforms. They walked over to the five people who is in shock of the speed of the platforms. "Crash! Stop that machine before it kills him!" Hobbes yelled. "Okay! Okay! Sheesh! All I need to do is press the off button and..." Crash said as he pressed the button but instead static came out. "It's broken!" Coco said. "Cortex must have built it!" B.T. joked trying to calm people down. The machine start gotten faster and faster and Calvin was getting tired. "We have to do something!" Hobbes demanded. "But what?" Coco asked. "Let us help him." Someone said behind them. Everyone behind them to see the bandicoot and the komodo dragon. "Are you sure? It's pretty dangerous." Coco warned. "Don't worry, we'll be okay." The Komodo Dragon. Both of them entered the machine. The komodo dragon started to slash platforms with his katana while the bandicoot easily punched out the platforms. Calvin turned to see the two going to help him. "Guys! Whoever you are, save me!" Calvin yelled, still dodging platforms. The Komodo Dragon leapt onto the platforms and jumped towards Calvin and grabbed him. "You're okay, kid?" The komodo dragon asked. "I am very tired. I'm just want to sleep." Calvin said as he fell in unconsciousness.
Calvin opened his eyes to see Crash, Hobbes, Coco, B.T., Susie looking at him with worried looks on their faces. Susie looking like she been crying. "What happened?" Calvin asked weakly. "The machine went haywire on you." Hobbes said. "When was the last time you guys checked your equipment?" Calvin complained as he rubbed his head. "Don't blame us, blame Cortex. He was the one who created the machine in the first place." Crash said. "Well, anyway. Thanks for saving me." Calvin said. "Don't thank us. Thank Crunch and Joe." Coco said. "Who?" Calvin asked. "Remember the muscular bandicoot and the samurai komodo dragon? They saved you." B.T. said. "Cool. Where they go?" Calvin said. "They said they were going to get some soda for you." Coco said. "Come on, I want to have a little word with Cortex." Crash said. Coco and B.T. nodded and followed Crash to complain to Cortex. "Don't worry, Crunch and Joe said they will look after you for a while." Hobbes said as he went to follow the others. "Oh, thank goodness, you're alright." Susie said as she hugged Calvin tightly, causing him to choke. "As if I not tired enough!" Calvin said. Susie let go and went to after Hobbes. Then, Crunch and Joe entered the room. "Oh, you two must be Crunch and Joe." Calvin said. "Yep. So are you okay?" The bandicoot said. "Yeah, thanks to you guys." Calvin said. "You know you are pretty tough for a kid." The komodo dragon. "I am?" Calvin said as he is delighted that he compliment him. "Yeah, you dodge those platforms like a super-fast hedgehog!" The bandicoot said. "Really? Thanks! Though I wish I could blacken Cortex's other eye." Calvin said. "You mean you gave Cortex that black eye?" The komodo dragon said impressed. "Ha-ha! What a loser that guy is." The bandicoot said laughing. Calvin smiled at this. "I'm Calvin." "Name's Crunch." The bandicoot said. "Komodo Joe." The komodo dragon introduced.
"Cortex, your machine nearly killed Calvin!" Crash shouted at Cortex at angrily. Hobbes, Coco, B.T. and Susie was standing behind Crash just as angry. N.Gin and Tiny was watching Cortex being shouted at. "Oh, come on! If the kid can't take the heat, get off of the gym!" Cortex said. "Cortex, the machine went haywire went on Calvin. We have eight witnesses!" Coco stated. "Oh, yeah! Who?" Cortex said. "Me, Crash, Coco, B.T., Susie, Crunch, Joe and of course, Calvin!" Hobbes stated. Crash then, grabbed Cortex's collar. Susie gasped. "Crash, wait! This isn't the way!" Susie said trying to stop Crash from giving Cortex another black eye. "Sorry, Susie. Cortex has it coming!" Crash said. "No. Listen to the lady." Somebody said. Everyone turned to the direction of the voice to see a blue-skinned man with a white lab coat with brown armour with a yellow clock on it. He wore brown gloves and brown boots. And a strange brown hat with a small tuning fork on it. He has a black mustache. "And you are?" Hobbes asked. "N.Trophy. Dear Sir." He said with a bow. "Wow, such manners." Susie said quietly. "Um, N.Trophy? I don't think you heard but Cortex's machine nearly killed my friend." Hobbes said. "True. But for one mistake, you can't treat Cortex as if he is your enemy." N.Trophy said. Crash just sighed and dropped Cortex. "Thanks, N.Trophy!" Cortex said happy not to have two black eyes. "You're welcome, Cortex." N.Trophy said as he turned his attention at Hobbes and Susie. "And may I ask the names of these two?" N.Trophy asked. "My name is Susie." Susie introduced shyly. "And a fine lady you are." N.Trophy said as he kissed Susie's hand. "Oh, what a gentleman." Susie thought. "And I'm Hobbes." Hobbes said as he shook his hand. "Pleased to meet you!" N.Trophy said. "Charmed." Hobbes said. "Hey, Hobbes, Susie. Guess what?" B.T. said. "What?" Hobbes and Susie asked. "There are only two more members left to find!" B.T. said, as he jumps up and down. "Really where are they?" Hobbes asked. "Hold on, I get them." B.T. said as he left the room. Hobbes and Susie just shrugged their shoulders and waited until B.T. came back with two figures. The first was a muscular grey koala with a red vest and brown long pants. The second was a normal tiger cub. "Kong and Pura, meet Hobbes and Susie!" B.T. introduced. "Um, hi." Hobbes and Susie said shyly. "Hi, My name is Kong." The koala said. ""And I'm Pura." The tiger cub said. "Great. Now that you met everyone. Let's decide who is going to the next warp place!" Crash said confident. "I don't think so." A voice from the monitor said." Everyone turned to see an ugly fat green alien head with a golden helmet and orange hair. "Who's that?" Susie asked scared. "Is that Velo?" Hobbes asked. "Of course, it's me! I am Emperor Velo the 27th, ruler of the galaxy!" Crunch, Dingodile, Joe and Calvin then enters. "Who's this loser?" Calvin said. "Loser? I am Emperor Velo the 27th, ruler of the galaxy!" Velo snapped. "Yeah, the galaxy of losers!" Crunch teased. "Hmph! Forget you! You are going to be my slaves anyway! My army is already searching Tracer Street for the power crystal!" Velo said with a smirk. "Tracer Street? But that's..." Susie said until Calvin put his hand over her mouth. "Oh, you mean this?" Crash smirked as he showed Velo a power crystal. "How did you?" Velo said surprised. "It's doesn't matter because I just send the same army to find the power crystal!" You will fall to my power! Mha ha ha ha!" With that, he disappeared from the monitor. "Boy, does he needs a hobby." Calvin said as he rolled his eyes. "Is Tracer Street going to be all right? That's our home land." Susie said. worried. "Don't worry, Susie. Velo only wants the power crystals so your home is safe." Crash said calming down Susie. "But now what? We are going up against an army!" Cortex complained. "Don't worry, Cortex. If we all go, we can have a better chance at fighting the army!" Coco stated. "But who will look after the power crystal?" Susie asked. "We will." Two voices were heard. Everyone turned their attention to two masks. The first mask was brown with rainbow feathers. The other was black with red fire edges. "Hi, Aku Aku, Uka Uka." Tiny said. "As long as me and my softy brother work together. The power crystals is as good as safe." Uka Uka said. "Okay, guys, let's start this adventure already!" Calvin shouted. "Yeah!" Everyone shouted in agreement.
Meanwhile, At Hobbes' Creek, Rosalyn was worried. "Calvin! Calvin! Calvin, if you are hiding, I'll be very, very upset!" She called out. "Aw, man. What will I do? If his parents come back and Calvin he's not here, I will be in big trouble." Then she saw a couple of half-dustpan half-robot hybrids rolling on the other side of the lake. "I bet those two kidnapped Calvin!" Rosalyn said as she chased after them. The robots entered a black portal so Rosalyn followed them into it. "Aughhhhhh!" Rosalyn screamed as she warped through the portal. Rosalyn fell in a giant room. She saw seven figures who was shocked to see her. Two of them was the robots she saw earlier. One was a blue baboon with blonde hair, a red feathered hat, red war paint, a gold nose ring, a red and blue collar with a gold edge, red waistbands with gold edges, purple pants with red rims and an red apron with a yellow rim with a upside-down gold crown on it. Another was a blue shark with a gold nose-plug with orange circles, red shoulder pads with golden spikes on it, yellow helmet with glosses with water in them and a strange water pistol on it, a yellow belt and a red speedo. Another was a goblin with white and black face paint on, a blue beret, a red and black scarf, a black and white shirt with red and black rims, blue trousers and orange and black shoes. Another was a brown android with a red centre and green eyes. The last one was the same the Crash Team saw only you can see his body. He wore a purple robe with red rims and gold buttons with the capital "V", red sandals, a diamond ring and gold arm bands. "Who are you?" The shark said. "My name is Rosalyn and I am looking for a kid named Calvin." Rosalyn said a bit scared. "We don't know any kid named Calvin!" The android protested. "In that case, I'll be hitting the old road." Rosalyn said as she tried to walk away. "Hold on, girl! You could be a spy for the Crash Team!" The baboon said. "The Crash who?" Rosalyn asked. "Don't play games with me!" The baboon said angrily. Then, he and the shark said "Grab her!" As they grabbed Rosalyn's arms. "Let's kill her!" The shark said. "No! Let's put a ransom for her for the power crystals!" The baboon said. Rosalyn grew scared of both of these ideas. "Wait, remember I created a secret plan for any Crash Team member we capture." Velo smiled evilly. "What is it?" The android asked. "If I told you, it wouldn't be a secret now would it?" Velo yelled at the android. "What do we do?" The baboon asked. "Just hold her." Velo said. Rosalyn knew she should try to escape but the two's strength was too powerful. Velo then got out a gold scepter with a purple jewel on it. Rosalyn tried harder but no avail. Velo then pointed the scepter at Rosalyn's heart and the jewel turned black with black mist surrounding. Rosalyn grew terrified as a black beam came from the jewel to Rosalyn's heart. Rosalyn screamed horribly in pain as her eyes turned white as the whole room flashed a dark black.
Things are getting interesting, eh? Every way, in the next chapter, the Crash Team starts their first adventure. Until then, See ya!
