Disclaimer! I don't own Crash Bandicoot. You already know that.

Rusty Walrus sat in the corner of the room. He was with Chick and Stew, trying to avoid the chaos in the center of the room. Tawna and Koala Kong were singing. It wasn't just that they didn't sing very well, but that the younger mutants were also trying to sing with them, but couldn't. Crunch was trying to get them to shut up. Earnest was staring out of a small window. You might have noticed that all of the mutants were in the same room. Well, they also weren't in Cortex Castle. Or on Cortex Island for that matter. They're were on NGin's boat. The boat was on a lake in Thailand.

Rusty remembered that Dr. NBrio told them not to do anything stupid, and that they were still grounded. Which kind of sucked because he didn't do anything. NBrio got off the boat to look for Dr. Cortex and NGin. They got lost somehow. NBrio didn't give them the full story.

"Guys! Shut up," Crunch started, "Listen."

Everything was dead silent except for the footsteps on the other side of the door. "Should we say 'hi'?" Rusty asked quietly. "We're still grounded," Kong answered back. "They'll come get us when they need to."

They heard the footsteps get louder and faster, before fading out because of distance.

"Why were they running?" Tawna asked. "Probably something important." Kong insured.

"Like what?"

"I..." Kong thought for a moment, "I don't know..."

No one broke the silence for ten minutes.

Footsteps and talking indicated that the doctors were back. The voices matched up. They strange thing was that they came going the same direction the other footsteps had walked. Was there a loop on this boat?

The door opened and the three doctors walked inside. Rusty got up and slowly walked along the walls towards them. Tawna ran, jumped, and hugged Neo. Rusty came out from the side and hugged NGin's leg.

It turns out that Cortex and NGin were stranded in a Thailand jungle for 3 days. It would take them 3 days to get back to Cortex Island.

Nitrus told Neo and NGin about the dingo pup. They were joking around when they realized that if the combined the name dingo and crocodile could lead to dingo-dile... It almost followed a name rule they liked to use. They began to laugh. That would be funny.

Almost immediately when they reached the castle, the three doctors mutated the two Komodo eggs. The evolvo-ray sparked a little bit. The next day NGin took his battleship to the iceberg and Neo continued to work on his deep sea base. Nitrus, for the sake of jokes, decided to test something new.

He put the Siamese Crocodile egg on the platform below the evolvo-ray, and retrieved the dingo from the healing machine. He carefully placed the dingo on top of the egg. How much risk was involved in this? What was there to lose? It's not like he was using an ultra-rare, on-the-verge-of-extinction animal. He hesitated for a moment before deciding to flip it and Yolo.

He was going to invent hybrids!

And of course I would end it here if I wanted to build suspense but I learned that that's a bad idea because my chapters are too short. Moving to NGin.

NGin trudged through the snow, again. It's been five years since the last time he's been to the iceberg. Man, how time flies. He was also almost done with his space base. By almost done, he meant put it up in the sky and it would be complete. He shivered. While he was lost in thought he didn't realize the was walking through powder waist high. Waist high for the average person. It was up to his chin. He stepped on something. The something was warm. The something bit his foot. It was a little polar bear. NGin was definitely bringing this back to his ship. Now to Neo.

Neo added his final touches to the large oxygen tank in the center of the Deep Sea Base. It was a very complex addition to their hideouts, or whatever. Neo had to work on it outside because it was so large. He had to wait for NGin to get back with his ship to carry it out to sea. There were four rooms. One room had an electrical generator. Speaking of electricity, the castle's power seems to be out. There's smoking coming from the room with the evolvo-ray. Neo stood there dumbfounded for a few moments. His eyes widened and he began booking it up the stairs.

This is honestly the part where it started to get interesting again to me, but I decided to stop writing this story, and instead make a timeline, and have a story with a bunch of one-shots. Sorry.
