Chapter Fifteen: All-Australian Rejects
"We're approaching that there Zerolith thingy," Billy Bob said.
"Good," Cortex said, "The closer we get to the Zerolith, the closer I get to beating up Wolfgang's aggravating hindquarters!"
"Uh oh," Billy Bob said.
"Uh oh?" Aku Aku asked, "What do you mean by 'Uh oh'?"
Billy Bob pointed to the hundreds of thousands of Zerolith laser cannon turrets that began to point at them and charge up.
"Hang on to yer keisters!" Billy Bob hollered.
The first laser blasts sped towards them, and Billy Bob glided out of the way, with the jeep sustaining minimal damage. The blasts continued to
zip in their direction. The jeep shuddered.
"Do a barrel roll!" Crunch screamed as he hung onto the car door, "Do a barrel roll!"
The jeep barrel rolled, but continued to do so.
"Don't do a barrel roll! Don't do a barrel roll!"
The jeep stopped its barrel rolling and sped towards the Zerolith, swerving to avoid any more blasts.
"There's a way to get inside!" Coco called, pointing, "There's an open ship hangar near the bottom of the ship! Fly through there!"
The jeep dove towards the open hangar. Two Interdroids, who were standing on the inside of the hangar, saw the heroes approaching. One
Interdroid pushed a button, and the hangar door slowly began to close. Then the door stopped moving, allowing the jeep to pass through.
Angered, an Interdroid went directly in the path of the unmoving door to find a problem. The second Interdroid continued to push the button
several more time, before the door snapped shut, thus crushing the first Interdroid.
"We made it through!" Coco cheered. Crash pointed behind them.
"What is it, Crash?" Coco asked. She looked behind them and saw several Interdroids with large jet packs were flying after them, blasting their
weapons. These Interdoids were Boostdroids.
"We have to lose these guys before they blast us to itsy, bitsy pieces," Cortex suggested.
"Well, y'all better hang on!" Billy Bob exclaimed, making a sharp turn down a chute. The Boosterdroids passed by the chute, unnoticing the
heroes. The jeep flew through the large room the chute led them to.
"We lost them!" Cortex exclaimed, "We're going to live!"
The jeep stopped in mid air and plummeted to the ground.
"We're going to die!" Cortex screamed. The jeep's fall was cushioned by a large pile of junk.
"Is everyone alright?" Aku Aku asked.
"Yeah," Cortex said, "We're…"
Cortex's passenger seat's airbag went off.
"I'm really disliking this author right now," Cortex said, his voice muffled by the airbag.
Later, the heroes climbed out of the jeep.
"I guess I forgot to put in that there gasoline for tha tank," Billy Bob explained, "As high-techy that there jeep is it sure is a gas guzzler."
They looked around and saw that they were in a huge, indoor junkyard.
"This must be where the Zerolith's trash goes," Cortex said, "What is your analysis, Doctor N. Gin? N. Gin?"
He turned around and realized that N. Gin was gone.
"Where did he go?" Aku Aku asked.
"He'll be fine," Tropy explained, "He probably just saw something shiny."
"Hmm, maybe," Aku Aku said, "What do you think Coco?"
Coco disappeared as well.
"Where did she go?" Crunch asked, "It's not like Coco to run off."
"Hmm," said Cortex, "First N. Gin, then Coco, and… my underwear is missing! Wait, I don't wear any."
Everyone looked at him with a perplexed look on their faces.
"What?" Cortex asked, "It makes my butt cheeks feel all roomy."
Crash shook his head and turned to Aku Aku, only to see that the mask wasn't there.
"Aku Aku, too?" asked Cortex, "Hang on, where is everyone else?"
There only ones left were Crash and Cortex.
"Oh come on!" Cortex exclaimed, "Don't leave me with the idiotic marsupial! No offence, by the way."
Crash crossed his arms and grumbled. An evil laugh was heard, and a holographic image of Lederhosen appeared.
"Cower, Crash and Doctor Cortex!" Lederhosen announced, "I have taken your comrades. If you want to see them alive again, travel to the
Zerolith's inner sanctum. But beware; my Junkdroids could be anywhere, camouflaged in the trash. Ha!"
With a final laugh, the image of Lederhosen disappeared.
"We have to stop them, Crash!" exclaimed Cortex, "We have to free my minions, and maybe your friends, before it's too late! Even though I
hate to say this, but we must work together like in Twinsanity. What do you say?"
Cortex stuck his hand out, and Crash happily shook it. Cortex looked at a nearby door.
"Let's try through there," he suggested.
Cortex grabbed the door and tried to pry it open, but it wouldn't budge. Cortex stepped back.
"Well, it won't budge an inch," he explained. Cortex looked around and saw a large lever sitting on the other side of a pit.
"Perhaps that switch can open this door," he said, "But how do I get over there?"
Crash grinned mischievously. He grabbed Cortex and flung him over the pit. Cortex screamed as he flew through the air, and he crashed in the
lever. He peeled himself off and glared and the bandicoot.
"You could have asked first!" he yelled. Cortex pulled the switch, and several buckets of garbage fell from a chute and landed on the scientist.
Cortex snarled and cleaned himself off of the various pieces of trash.
"It didn't work?" he asked, "Why didn't it work? It always works!"
Crash noticed a blue button beside the door. He pressed it and the door opened.
"Oh," Cortex said, "How did I miss that?"
Suddenly, an Interdroid made out of pieces of scrap metal appeared behind Cortex.
"A Junkdroid," Cortex stated before aiming his laser blaster at the robot, "Stay back!"
Cortex pulled the trigger, and nothing happened.
"It's a really bad time to run out of ammo," he said to himself. The Junkdroid roared, and Cortex ran away with the robot chasing after him.
Crash followed Cortex be running through the newly-opened door.
"Get this monstrosity away from me!" Cortex screamed.
Crash saw that Cortex was headed straight for a pit. Crash spun a nearby switch, and a bridge appeared to help Cortex cross.
"Help me!" Cortex screamed, "I'm too beautiful to die!"
Cortex ran, not noticing that he was headed straight for an electric fence. Crash spun another switch and the fence lowered. Cortex ran past
the fence and towards a stack of Nitro Crates. Crash spun a detonator and the crates exploded, leaving Cortex unharmed.
"What are you waiting for, bandicoot?" Cortex called, "Help me!"
Crash stepped on a button which lifted a huge wrecking ball out of Cortex's path. Cortex ran past and ball. The Junkdroid took a leap at Cortex,
but Crash jumped off the button which crushed the Junkdroid with the wrecking ball. Cortex ran under a large pipe, which sucked him up.
"Not this pipe joke, again!" Cortex screamed, "I thought that it was bad in Twinsanity, but these pipes smell all funky."
Crash watched as Cortex sped through the pipes. He sighed and followed the evil doctor.
Later, a trash-covered Cortex was spat out into a hallway.
"I hate my life," he said, pulling a banana peel out of his hair, "Maybe I should sit here for a bit and calm down. Find my inner peace."
Crash ran through a door, grabbed Cortex's arm, and dragged him down the hall.
"Unhand me, bandicoot!" Cortex angrily yelled, "I have inner peace to find!"
They ran through a doorway and enter the old Psychetron room of the Zerolith, but without the Psychetron.
They saw their friends and minions trapped inside a bubble-shaped force field. Crash and Cortex ran up.
"Is everyone okay?" Cortex asked.
"Not for long!" a voice yelled.
Up on a balcony was none other than General Wolfgang.
"Well, if it isn't Crash Bandicoot and Doctor Neo Cortex," he said, "I am General Tracy Wolfgang."
"Tracy?" Cortex asked, "Is it just me, or does a bunch of people in this dimension have really stupid names?"
"Says the large-headed, mediocre scientist whose middle name is Periwinkle," Wolfgang said.
"Hey!" Cortex yelled, "I am far beyond mediocre!"
"We shall see," Wolfgang said before disappearing. Out of the shadows came a huge robot. It had the head and body of an Interdroid, but has
its four legs in place of its arms. Cortex realized that the legs were the arms to N. Terdimensional's Psychetron. Wolfgang appeared on the
robot's back.
"I bring to you," he announced, "The pinnacle of Interdroid technology. Combining the interdimensional powers of the Psychetron arms with a
crystal infused with black hole energy. I bring to you your doom. It's the almighty Psychedroid!"
