Episode VIII: Welcome to Hamsterville

The next morning, Ignitus came walking down a hallway and came across dead cheetahs on the floor with blood splattered on the floor and walls. Ignitus then sees a door broken open.

Ignitus goes in to investigate, but the first thing that caught his attention was the smell. It smelled like something was burning and rotting at the same time. Ignitus gagged as he looked around. He then finds Malefor dead, but Malefor looked as if something ate him up or melted him. His organs were seen hanging out a little with blood dripping with steam coming out of them and drying up as soon as they hit the ground.

"Who could have done this?" Ignitus asked himself as he looked at the terrible sight.

Meanwhile, in another world, SSC Crash, CZA Crash, CZA Crunch, whose head is still taped up, Spyro, Crashzilla and Hunter are seen looking at a sign that says "Welcome to Hamterville" with the lights flashing "Ham" then "ster" then "ville" then "Hamsterville".

"Well.. that's a sign to a town you don't see everyday" CZA Crash said.

"Actually, I believe when they have signs like that. It's usually around a casino or something" Crashzilla said.

"What makes you say that?" Spyro asked.

"I don't know. Lucky guess?" Crashzilla said as he pointed over and they spot a person inserting a coin and turning on the slot machine.

Then they spot a group of people playing poker and other people playing other gambling games.

"I see.." Spyro said a little stumped.

"Hey look" CZA Crash said.

CZA Crash runs up to a wanted poster sign and it says "Wanted. Bandicoots from another dimension. $50,000,000 dollar reward each".

"Oh great.. how are we going to get through this without being noticed?" Crashzilla asked.

"Hello, one and all! This is Hamsterveil. I would like to remind you all that today is black hoody day. A holiday to celebrate evil's triumph! You can get one at a store near you. That's all for now" Hamsterveil said from a speaker.

All six looked behind on their right and found a store.

"Well, I guess that's one way how to not get noticed" CZA Crash said.

"Come on. Let's get going" SSC Crash said.

All six sneaked near the store and grabbed some hoodies. SSC Crash puts his on, Hunter puts his on, Crashzilla puts his on. CZA Crash and CZA Crunch found themselves with wrong sized hoodies. Then they switched and put them on.

"Wait.. don't I get a hoodie?" Spyro asked.

"Sorry, but I think someone would notice a purple tail coming out the hoodie or walking on all fours. So, I think it'll be best if you pose as our pet" SSC Crash said.

"What?! No way!" Spyro said.

"Come on. You want to save this dimension or not?" SSC Crash asked.

Spyro sighed.

"Fine. But push me too far and you're barbecue" Spyro threatened.

"Don't worry. It's only until we get out of here" SSC Crash said.

Hunter got some rope out and tied it around Spyro's neck. Then a pod flies to them. A screen pops up and Ignitus is seen on the screen.

"Is there something wrong?" SSC Crash asked.

"Well.. when you were gone.. we were infiltrated" Ignitus said.

"Infiltrated? How?" SSC Crash asked.

"Well.. apparently someone broke in, killed a few cheetahs and Malefor and left" Ignitus said.

"Wait.. Malefor is dead? Who would want to kill him?" CZA Crash asked.

"I believe it was the Hero Slayer. Nobody else could do the things that I saw" Ignitus said.

'Hmm. This Hero Slayer sounds more threatening than I thought' SSC Crash thought to himself.

"Do you think we can have a list so we know what heros are still alive?" SSC Crash asked.

"Here. Use this pad. It'll show you which hero is still alive and when they were last seen" Ignitus said.

A pad comes out and SSC Crash grabs it.

"Good. If we're going against the Hero Slayer, we need all the help we can get" SSC Crash said.

"Ok. You best get going. The future of this dimension lies in your hands" Ignitus said.

"Wait.. how do we know how to use this.. pad thing?" CZA Crash asked.

"The instructions are on the back. Good luck.. Swordmaster" Ignitus said.

Then the screen turned off and the screen went back inside the pod and the pod flew away.

"Well.. it's good to know that there's not too much pressure" CZA Crash said sarcastically.

"Come on. If this dimension is to be free, we need to hold together and save everyone" SSC Crash said.

"So, where do we go now?" Crashzilla asked.

SSC Crash looked around.

"Let's head this direction" SSC Crash said putting his hood up and started walking down the road.

Crashzilla then did the same thing and followed as well as CZA Crash and CZA Crunch. Hunter put his hood up and held onto Spyro's 'leash'.

Meanwhile, we see a lab with a big screen and a chair. Then a yellow, fat koala-like creature runs up to the chair.

"Hey. Did you hear about Malefor? Apparently he got killed" the yellow creature said.

"I know. And it serves that overgrown lizard with wings right if he can't kill something like a bandicoot. Might as well die from something you can't kill" a voice said as the chair turned to reveal a hamster like creature.

"But.. he wasn't killed by the bandicoot though" the yellow creature said.

"625, I don't need you to spoil my gloat" the hamster creature said.

"I'd like to be called Reuben. Thank you very much" the yellow creature said.

"Fine.. Reuben. So who did you think killed him?" the hamster creature asked.

"I believe it was the Hero Slayer that killed him" Reuben said.

"The Hero Slayer?! Just saying that gives me shivers. It was said that he makes you die in a way so painful it feels like you were in pain for a millenium only to have your life taken away" the hamster creature said.

"Do you know why the Hero Slayer killed him?" Reuben asked.

"We took an oath that if we fall, we die by his hand so we won't reveal anything to any rebels unless they kill us" the hamster creature said.

"So.. basically if you lose your rule, you die by his hand unless you die by them?" Reuben asked to be clear.

"Yes. And just seeing his victims suffer and die is bad enough. Once you catch a glimpse on what he's capable of.. you'll spend the rest of your life hoping he won't go after you" the hamster creature said.

"But, Hamsterwheel.. isn't he brainwashed?" Reuben asked.

"It's Hamsterveil! And yes, he is. I just have to keep my rule or I'll be facing an unbearably painful death" Hamsterveil said in concern for his life.

Back with the group, they are seen walking down the street and they saw a person lost all his money.

"No! Please! Give me another chance!" the person begged.

Then dark minions appear and carried him out. The group stared for a moment and continued walking. Then they were confronted by a dark minion.

"Halt! Who are you guys?" the dark minion asked.

"We are... travelers. We visit places and worlds to... see how each world is doing" SSC Crash said.

"Ah. You must be the overlords' inspectors" the dark minion said.

"Uh.. yes. And I think it would be wise to let us pass and continue our inspection" SSC Crash said.

"Of course. Go ahead" The dark minion said.

They all walk passed. Then something caught the dark minions' eye.

"Wait a minute" the dark minion said making them all stop.

They all got worried that they were caught.

"What's with this dragon?" the dark minion asked.

They all look at Spyro.

"Oh.. um. We.. bought him... as a pet" Hunter lied.

"I see. Malefor must have been nice enough to let you have him" the dark minion said.

"Uh.. yeah. See.. um.. we had to trade in a lot in order to have him as a pet" CZA Crash said.

"How much was he?" the dark minion asked.

"Um.. 100,000 gems" CZA Crash guessed.

"Funny. Because last I checked it was 10,000,000 gems for any dragon" the dark minion said.

"Uh.. we.. had a inspection discount?" Hunter said.

"Hmm. Very well. Move along. Keep it out of trouble. We had a pet not long ago that went on a rampage and disappeared" the dark minion said as he was leaving.

"Sure thing" Hunter said.

"Phew. That was close" CZA Crash said.

"What was that whole 'pet went on rampage' thing?" Crashzilla asked.

"I don't know. But we better keep moving before we get caught" SSC Crash said.

Then as they traveled came across what used to be a forest, now is an entire wasteland full of tree stumps and dead grass. With a few skulls here and there.

"Wow.. never thought something can be so... empty" Crashzilla said.

"Not to mention how quiet it is" CZA Crash said.

"Man.. never thought there would be this much damage to nature" SSC Crash said.

"Hey, check that pad thing to see if there's another hero around here" Hunter suggested.

"Okay" SSC Crash said as he got out the pad and scanned through the heros that would be around there.

"Hmm. Some hero named Stitch lives around here, but it doesn't say if he was captured or killed" SSC Crash said.

"Do you think he might have left this world?" Hunter asked.

"Not sure" SSC Crash said.

Then they heard a noise.

"What was that?" CZA Crash asked.

"Hmm hmm hmm, hmm!" CZA Crunch said.

"Sh!" SSC Crash said.

Then they heard the noise again and everyone was on alert. They all looked around to try to spot what was making that noise.

Then a blue koala-like creature jumps out and starts attacking CZA Crash. The others tried to get him off, but the blue creature just pushed them away. Then SSC Crash grabs the blue creature and slams it against a rock with a sword up to it's neck.

"Are you the one they call Stitch?" SSC Crash asked.

The blue creature stopped for a moment and slowly nodded it's head.

"Good. We've been looking for you. Look, we know your world and the rest of the dimension is ruled by an evil ruler. We are here to help you out" SSC Crash said.

"Meega... help. But... meega want.. to free cousins" Stitch said.

"Cousins? You have family here?" SSC Crash asked.

"Ohana" Stitch said.

"Ohana? What the hell does that mean?" Crashzilla asked.

"Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten" Stitch said.

"Touching, but.. I think we have more important things to worry about" CZA Crash said.

"I say we help him" SSC Crash said.

"You're kidding right? That.. thing tried to kill me!" CZA Crash said.

"If you want to face Hamsterveil by yourself then go ahead. But I think we need to help him out. Anybody else in?" SSC Crash asked.

"I am" Hunter said.

"I am" Spyro said.

"Eh, what the hell. I'm in" Crashzilla said.

"Hmm hmm" CZA Crunch said.

"Fine.." CZA Crash said giving up.

"Okay. Lead us to them" SSC Crash said.

Stitch then lead the way and the group followed.

A/N: Now that Stitch joined the group, will they be able to free this world from evil and face Hamsterveil and find out whoever the ruler is? Stay tuned to find out.
