All right everyone here is the final chapter of Memories. The road is over and now I can start the one I really wanted to. But before we end this installment, I would like to do my shout outs.
As always I would like to thank jojoker boy and jpbake for providing me with tips ideas and encouragement along the way. THANKIES!
I would always like to thank Fanboy111 and CrashBandicootAlways2002 for reviewing this fic. You two are amazing.
And Last but not least, I would like to thank everyone who read this installment. Even if you didn't review, showing that you read does matter.
So with out farther let's end this.
Crash and company is not mine, OC's are mine (I still don't like this)
Chapter 6 And so it Begins
Crash continued to stare intently at Uka Uka and the 4 ominous mask floating just behind him. All of his nightmares were now just in front of him, and he could not runaway, even if he wanted to.
"Uka Uka! What are these masks that accompany you?!" Crash demanded, glaring hard.
The demonic mask smiled devilishly.
"These mask that you see before you, are known as the Elementals."
"The Elementals! What are they!?" Jan demanded, from her place behind Crash.
"We Elementals are just what you would think we are; we represent the 4 natural elements: Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire." The fire mask explained. "We each can manipulate our own element as we see fit."
"So that's the reason for the waves heights, and the fires and the earthquake and high winds?" Jan asked.
"Correct that you are." The cloud mask replied, grinning.
"So what does this have to do with Uka Uka? Crash asked.
"Do you know anything of the analogy of the elements, bandicoot?" Uka Uka asked.
"Not really." Crash admitted.
"The elements are very powerful, but there is also one more element; the most powerful of them all."
Jan gasped. "The Ether Element!"
"Ether what...?" Crash asked.
"Ether means spirit; the spirit element connects all of the natural elements as one." Jan explained.
"So that means..." Crash started.
"The demon mask represents the Ether, which means we're totally screwed." Jan explained, smiling nervously.
Crash glared.
"Well that's not going to happen while I'm still standing! By the way, where's Dr. Cortex?!"
"Don't worry about him; he said the two of you will be meeting very soon." Uka Uka stated.
"But what I don't understand is what these Elementals have to do with Cortex. Why would he went to harness the powers of the Elementals?" Crash asked.
"Dr. Cortex claimed that he has been working on some sort of weapon, but he needed a power source to finalize it."
"So with the power of this weapon, and the power of the Elementals, that means...SHIT!" Crash cried, realizing what was lying ahead was not very pleasant.
"HUMANITY WILL TREMBLE AT OUR FEET! SOON A CLOUD OF DARKNESS SHALL COVER THE EARTH!" Uka Uka thundered with laughter.
"CRASH!" A voice came from behind. Crash turned to see Elkie running to him; Jamual, Curtis, and Kage were not far behind.
"UKA UKA! You know that won't happen; I won't let you or the Elementals help bring that monster's reign of terror!"
Crash ran directly towards the masks; only to have them charge up their power and fire at the boy.
The bandicoot just managed to move out of the way; although Crash could feel the tremendous amount of power that radiated from the blast.
"That power, it's so strong. Uka Uka was powerful enough on his own, but with Elementals, he's almost invincible; and judging by what he said by Cortex creating a new weapon, things don't look good." Crash thought to himself.
"Oh yes Crash, there will be blood." The fire mask laughed.
"You aren't going to get away with this!" Curtis cried out.
Uka Uka laughed. "WHOSE GOING TO STOP US!"
"I will! I will stop you like I always have!" Crash cried.
"If you have a death wish, then hit us with your best shot. But until that time comes, I suggest you stay alert for what's coming next."
With that, Uka Uka and the Elementals disappeared in a thick cloud of smoke. As the smoke cleared, the weather began to calm slightly.
"Are they gone?" Jamual asked.
"Yeah they're gone." Kage responded.
"The storm has calmed slightly." Elkie stated.
"But for how long?" Kage snapped.
Crash continued staring into the horizon.
"Crash what are you going to do?" Curtis asked.
Crash snapped out of it and turned to the group with a goofy grin on his face.
"I have to test fate once again." He said.
"What do you mean, test fate?" Jamual asked.
"If I don't go after them head on, then Cortex is going to use the Elementals to bring the planet to a standstill. There's a chance they can be defeated but I have to go after them."
"Why does it have be you?" Curtis asked.
"I guess that's the way it has to be." Crash sighed.
"But you could get killed." Jamual protested.
"Then I'll die knowing I tried, but you guys have to trust me and let me do this."
"I trust you Crash! I've always trusted you!" Kage replied, boldly.
"I trust you Crash!" Elkie smiled, giving him a thumbs up.
"I trust you too, Crash!" Curtis smiled.
"I will trust you too, Crash." Jamual chimed in.
Crash turned to Jan; tears were streaming down her face, making it clear she didn't want him to go.
"You guys get yourself to a shelter, I have to start on my own path." Crash explained.
The group turned to leave.
"Crash!" Elkie called.
"Yeah?!" He asked.
"Don't forget to keep your eyes ahead; looking behind will only weaken you, remember that." She answered.
"I won't!"
The group left with Jan reluctantly following behind.
Crash looked into the distance once more.
"Well Crash old buddy, it's time test fate once again."
The bandicoot began to run down the street; a firm glare was set into his eyes, he was ready."
"HERE I COME CORTEX!" He roared, as he continued to run.
Meanwhile in a darkly lit room, a pair of dark red eyes was watching the bandicoot with a hungering interest. As the bandicoot continued to run, the eyes seemed to gleam ominously as a deep voice spoke lowly to no one.
"You will learn Crash."
The End! Thank you for reading. Stay tuned for the next installment: Crash Bandicoot 4: Elements
