Disclaimer! I don't own any Crash Bandicoot characters. Just keep that in mind.
The paint was getting harder to see. The footprints led Neo outside. Then the tracks were cut off. He looked for the prints on the ground. He found prints that were hard to see, but seemed to match the paint. He followed the prints to a rock that slanted upwards. He went to the other side and awed. It was a bandicoot's nest!
He began to walk back to the castle. He memorized the path back to the bandicoot's nest. When he got back, he searched the web for what bandicoots eat. He found some potatoes (a type of plant tuber) in his fridge and brought one back to the bandicoot.
About a week later the bandicoot trusted him, and Neo enjoyed its company, and it gave him determination to fix and finish the evolve-ray, since and Nirtus were in other areas. But then he never saw it again, because of a predator...
Neo was going back to the bandicoot's nest with a potato, then he noticed it just wasn't there. Then he heard a screeching noise, and a growl. He knew the what happened know. The noises weren't far away, he could walk over and find out what happened.
When he looked behind some brush, he saw a dingo, with the bandicoot in its mouth. The dingo looked at him and growled. It ran away with the bandicoot. Neo didn't move. He was startled. It all happened so fast. He went back to the nest, and was surprised. There were some baby bandicoots still in the nest. He didn't know his bandicoot friend had babies... They were abandoned now. He took them home.
There were six. Only two were alive. He could only fit Ripper in the healing device. 'They might not last that long...' Neo thought. 'The evolve-ray is finished,' he thought, 'and I can save them right now,' he looked at the bandicoots, "Okay," he thought out loud, "I'll do it!"
He ran to another room and got some spare cloth and made some clothing for the bandicoots. He put one bandicoot on the steel platform and started the machine. The beam flashed. Neo didn't look.
The machine didn't make any other noises. He looked at his creation. It was crying. It was alive. It was a success! He put some clothing on the male baby bandicoot. And lay it on the bag where he put Ripper in. He bit Neo's finger, hard. It made a crunching sound. He shook his hand. The bandicoot laughed. "You like that crunching sound?" Neo asked. "Crunch. I'll call you that. Crunch."
He got up and mutated the other. It was a female. He named her Tawna. He carried both the babies to the room where he would have his minions live. He left them there for a minute and got a spare blanket out. He wrapped the blanket around them and let them sleep. It was night. Neo fell asleep in the same room.
