Spyro rushes to the water to see if he was right, and he was. "I can't believe I'm a girl now! This is so messed up wait until.. Did I break a claw? Oh no! I'm starting to think like a girl!" Spyro said. "Just relax, we'll find Cortex and change you back to normal right Crash? Crash?" Coco asked trying to find Crash. Then she found him staring at Crunch's dead body. For a moment there was no movement. Then Crash got under the weights and pushed them off. Then took Crunch's body, dug a hole and put his body and head in it and buried them. Crash stared at Crunch's grave for a while. Coco and Spyro looked at Crash with worry on how he was feeling. Crash then walked to the destroyed house from Cortex's ambush. He entered the house to see what was left. Everything was destroyed, his bed, Coco's stuff and everything else they had was gone. "That monster" Crash said quietly to himself. Then all of the sudden he started hitting things from his surroundings. Kicked, punched and threw stuff all over the place. The knuckles from his right hand was bleeding. When Crash stopped he panted for a while then sat on a stool that was broken but could still stand. Coco and Spyro came in to see what Crash was doing since they heard a bunch of crashing. They saw he was in pain. Then the two went up to Crash and comforted him.
Then a light was seen in the destroyed house. And coming from the light was a floating wooden figure. It was Aku Aku. Aku Aku sensed there was a disturbance. So he came before them and said "Hello children" he then looked around the place and saw that it was destroyed. "What happened?" Aku Aku asked. Crash was silent and hurt badly so Coco spoke for him. "Cortex came and attacked our house and killed Crunch" Coco informed Aku Aku. "I see. I think it's time we leave Wampa Island." Aku Aku suggested. "No!" Crash said. "We will not leave until that little son of a bitch pays for what he did!" Crash continued. "Calm yourself Crash" Aku Aku ordered. "No! Ok? You have no idea what he has put me through!" Crash shouted then stormed off. Aku Aku sighed. "Come on you two. I think Crash needs to be alone for a while" Aku Aku said then they left Crash, leaving him with his thoughts.
The mask and the two girls left the destroyed house. "What did Cortex put Crash through?" Spyro asked. For a while Coco and Aku Aku stared at each other wondering if it was right for them to tell her. Aku Aku then said "I'll tell you. Cortex was the reason Crash exists. Cortex created him to lead an army of super animals so he could conquer the world. Crash managed to resist and go against him. Coco was next in line, but then she managed to escape without being caught. Crash trusted Cortex when Crash was mysteriously teleported to a warp room. Cortex said he needed his help, then Crash realized Cortex was using him and stopped him before it was too late. And ever since then Cortex was always there to make things worse for Crash and the rest of us." Aku Aku concluded. "Wow, Cortex just doesn't know when to quit does he?" Spyro said. "Apparently not. We'll check on Crash in a few minutes" Aku Aku said.
Crash was deep in thought on what happened and what he has been through. A tear went down his cheek while remembering all the pain he got from Cortex. Then Crash developed an angry look on his face after remembering his first girlfriend and walked out of the destroyed house.
Crash walked with an angry look. "Crash? You ok?" Spyro said with worry. Crash didn't respond, he just walked passed all three of them. All looked at Crash and wondered what he was up to.
Crash then walked up to a house and knocked on a door. One of Pinstripes' men answered it. "Is Pinstripe here?" Crash asked. "Who needs to know?" the guard said. Then Crash elbowed him and grabbed his gun and shot him. The shooting alarmed the rest of the guards. As they came Crash shot and killed all of them blood was everywhere. Pinstripe looked at the security cameras and saw Crash coming close. Then Pinstripe set the alarm off to have all his security guards go after Crash. Pinstripe looked surprised, he never saw Crash like this. "What the hell is wrong with him?" Pinstripe asked himself. Tawna came in and said "Crash is coming here! What do we do?" she looked at Pinstripe hoping for an answer. Then Crash kicked the door open with the gun still in his hands and blood all over him. "What do you want you rat?" Pinstripe asked with an insult. Then Crash just shot Pinstripe. "Pinstripe!" Tawna shouted. She looked up in fright as Crash came closer. Then he pointed the gun at Tawna.
Coco, Spyro and Aku Aku waited around to see when Crash will get back. As soon as he got back, they had a scared look on their face. Crash came with blood all over him and the gun he had he left in the house of Pinstripe. "What did you do?" Coco asked surprised. Crash didn't respond, he just walked right past them again and lied down in the sand. He still was hurt, he just needed to clear his head before he tells them what he did.
