Aku, Crash, and Crunch were surprised by this and Atlas bent down to pick up his jacket not caring about the three who were wondering what his next move was. But he never did attack instead he reached into one of his pockets and pulled out a signal handgun. Than he tossed it over to Tettra who effortlessly caught it before sticking it into her own pocket. "That Tettra is a special gift from me that I spent countless hours trying to build. It has a button on it which holds a special surprise if you push it, also It took me a while but it has infinite ammo in it."
Coco watched as Atlas pulled a t-shirt from one of his jacket's pockets than pulled a staff out of the other. "How deep are those pockets?" She scratched her head as Atlas pulled of his old shirt and put on his new t-shirt before putting the ruined shirt away though he spoke. "I... don't actually know, and I made them for peeks sake." He shook his head as the three came over to where he was and Aku spoke sensing something different. "Your not the same person we met before are you?"
Atlas shook his head before making the crystal light up and show a scene from his past of what happened to him. "I... took a contract that was put out on Tettra, and in order to get close I decided to forget my past. Long story short it didn't work out as planed and joined up with her to finally put an end to the man who wanted her dead." With that the scene in the crystal ended and it showed a signal color that every could tell was his emotion.
He than walked away and Tettra spoke knowing that they were confused about the whole thing. "He is more into technology, and I'm more into mystical arts. But for some reason he is the one who carries around the mystical staff and I'm the one who carries the laptop." Somehow it made sense to the Bandicoot's and ancient witchdoctor in the tiki mask. So they all went back to business while Tettra showed Atlas to her room so they could talk. Upon entering the room though Tettra closed the door before going over to the window and lowering the shade.
"What business did the FBI want you to take care of while you were here with me?" She turned around as she spoke and leaned against the wall wile a sheepish Atlas just scratched the back of his head. "I'm that obvious? Well... anyways they want to check the threat status of someone called Doctor Neo Periwinkle Cortex. If he is of considerable threat I'm suppose to go and knock him out so he can be taken to a prison somewhere for crazed super villains."
0*0*0Cortex Lab0*0*0
Cortex was looking at his computer screen flicking threw various recordings that his spy bots had taken of Crash and his family. That was until Uka Uka floated up behind him and watched quietly over his shoulders for a bit. The two had went their separate ways a while ago for a vacation from trying to take over the world. While Cortex had stayed home to work on various odds and ends so he could pass the time Uka Uka had been in Hawaii with his credit card staying at a five star hotels penthouse ordering room service and watching paid to watch TV channels.
Uka Uka just floated behind Cortex while the evil scientist yawned and flipped threw the spy bots footage. That is until he came upon a recording of Uka Uka singing Little Games in the shower a song The Yardbirds a band from the late 1960's. "Oh I have got to share this on a popular video sharing sight." That greatly made up Cortex's day, but upon seeing it Uka Uka was embarrassed beyond belief and got very angry at him. "If you even dare than I can promise you that for the next 25 years I will make you listen to Peanut Butter Jelly Time" by Chip-man & The Buckwheat Boyz."
At the sound of Uka's voice Cortex jumped accidentally changing the video again to show Atlas as he crash landed on Wumpa island. "What do we have here? Cortex! Change the screen to display energy readings." Uka Uka was interested in it and Cortex could care less about it but he did as told. "Yes sir, Mr. Uka boss sir." He was so scared at first but upon changing the screen to display energy readings his mood clearly changed. "Why these readings show that this person is three time's if not more powerful than Crash Bandicoot. Wait... I know him... I know him from somewhere.?"
Cortex went into deep thought wile Uka Uka examined the readings, only to be interrupted by Cortex. "Now I remember, that's the guy who stole 12 million from me by faking his own death when I sent him to go and capture Crash. I..." He didn't finish for Uka Uka spoke enraged by the sudden outburst. "Will you be quiet so I can think of a plan you fool! Also from now on call me Grand Master Uka, because you annoyed me so." Cortex cowered and nodded in agreement while Uka Uka went into planning mode on how to use this new comer to his grand plan.
0*0*0Bandicoot Home – 2 Hours Lator0*0*0
Everyone was for the most part outside enjoying the sunshine, and Atlas was lying right next to Crash relaxing in the sun. That was until a laser was fired at him hitting right in the middle of the chest burning his t-shirt and leaving quite a mark. In under a second he was standing up looking in the direction the laser had come from. The Bandicoot family was also doing it while Tettra was standing on the roof with her new gun drawn.
It was at that moment that she picked up a flow of bad mojo, at the same time Aku did which could only mean one thing. Sure enough Aku's evil brother Uka floated into view along with Cortex who was holding the laser that had hit Atlas in the chest. "Well what do we have here a new victim just waiting for me to put him under m control?" Cortex just smiled and changed the setting on his laser to stun all the while Atlas spoke and the others stared at the two. "Yeah I half expected this to happen to me again some time later on in life."
Aku Aku floated over and up a bit to address his brother. "You really think you can get away with this brother?" Uka Uka just smiled as Cortex fired his laser at Atlas who it hit dead on before speaking and floating on over to the boy. "I don't just think so brother I know so." With that Uka placed himself over Atlas face in an effort to try and control him. But it didn't work for even though Uka was in control for a mere five seconds Atlas was able to force the evil witchdoctor off him. "How is that even possible?"
Uka was started as Atlas threw him toward Cortex all the while his anger was building up, and Tettra pressed the button. While everyone was focused on Cortex and Uka Tettra's gun changed form to that of a bazooka with three chain guns attached to it, there was also five anti-aircraft missile launchers, 32 concision grenade launchers, and two heat seeking missile launchers on it. Uka Uka and Cortex both noticed it at the same time as Tettra took aim at them, and Cortex spoke out of fear. "Grand Master Uka I think you should warp both of us out of here right this instant."
Uka Uka who just kept staring at spoke after Cortex was done. "First of all that is overkill, second I will be back for you boy, and third let split." With that Uka warped Cortex and himself out of their and the Bandicoot family turned around to see Tettra with her simple hand gun speak. "Awww and I wanted to try out that sweet mode to. Oh well there is always next time." With that Tettra slipped her weapon away and walked over to the beach to relax a bit.
The Bandicoot's and tiki mask just shrugged it off as crazy villain talk and went back to what they were doing. As for Atlas he shivered at bit due to the evil witchdoctor mask controlling him for a bit than walked over to Tettra to tell her something about her new weapon. "They have no clue how true they are about that weapon being overkill Tettra." She looked over at Atlas before looking back out toward the sea in an attempt to try and clear her head. "How man rounds per minute can it produce?" It was something that she wanted to figure out herself but it might have been a very long time before she did. "Oh, the three chain guns can produce 2000 rounds each per minute, the bazooka can do 23 rounds per minute, the five anti-aircraft weapons can do five per minute, the 32 concision grenade launchers can do 500 rounds each per minute, and the two heat seeking missile launchers can do 15 rounds each per minute."
Tettra was quite for a bit as she did the math in her head and spoke after figuring it out on her own. "The whole thing produces 22073 per minute... combined with the fact that it doesn't run out of ammo, and with your intelligence it won't over heat or jam up. I don't agree with them on the fact that it's overkill... it's way beyond overkill, Atlas that thing is way beyond overkill." With that she was quiet for a bit and Atlas left to do something else to pass the time. Than Coco came over to where Tettra was and spoke not wanting to startle her.
"Hey Tettra can you help me with testing my latest invention?" With that Tettra got up and followed the surprised Bandicoot over to the house and into the basement of the house. "Normally I would have my brother Crash test my inventions, but this is an invention that should be able of copying one's intelligence and placing it into a recipients mind with no side effects." At this Tettra froze and after a bit of thinking she spoke to Coco. "Not to be rude, but I don't feel safe and I won't unless you have Atlas check this thing over."
Coco was quiet for a bit as she thought about Atlas and remembered him as he worked on an infinite replication device, only for it to work once before exploding. "OK good point. Let's get him to check it out before testing it." Tettra didn't even need to say a thing for Atlas just walked into the basement and spoke. "I heard you two saying you wanted me to look at something before testing it." Coco backed up a bit to let Atlas threw to her latest invention but half way there he stopped and turned around.
"Think I can go over your note's Coco something seems a little off with this invention of yours." Coco pointed over her shoulder to her laptop and Atlas went over and started to go over all the notes that was on it and around it. Coco watched as he just glanced at everything around her laptop first before just speeding along not paying attention to what was on it. "Don't worry Coco Atlas may appear to be skipping over everything but in reality he has some implants in his eyes that allow him to read everything very fast."
It was after Tettra finished talking that Atlas got up and walked back over to them to speak. "Well I must say Coco you have built quite a good machine to try and transfer the intelligence from one creature to another, but... Unfortunately it wont work instead you would just be swapping bodies with the person as far as I can tell." Atlas went and leaned against the wall knowing that it was only a matter of time before something happened that called him away.
Tettra could see how he wanted to get away from them and get back to doing something else so she went to give him that opportunity. "Hey Atlas can you head into town to see if they have received my new pair of sunglasses? I had them customarily made with some high tech improvements so I can better do my work when the FBI or CIA come a knocking." He was out of the room in that second rushing out and heading to the town which he had no clue where it was.
Coco looked as Tettra put her jacket back on and leaned against the wall shaking her a head a bit before speaking. "Don't look at me that way Coco he wanted to get out of here and if he didn't you could bet that he might of started to try and make something explode." With that the female Bandicoot shrugged before going back to mess with her machine that was giving her trouble. When Tettra tried to walk away slowly though Coco turned around and shot her a mean look, so the author went and leaned against the wall again. "Right should of remembered Coco's an Bandicoot so she has improved hearing."
After a few more minutes Tettra tried again and this time she made it into the kitchen were crash was trying to cook. The smell of pancakes was strong and there already was a pile on the counter that was tall enough to feed a middle class family for an entire month. Looking again Tettra noticed that the Bandicoot was making some fried egg's as well, and was actually a descent cook. There was enough pancakes and eggs for them all, but instead of shouting to get everyone's attention Crash went and after finishing with the rest of the meal, started to bang the two pots together.
It certainly worked for Coco came running up the stairs and Crunch ran into the house nearly plowing over an Atlas just returning from town empty handed. Aku Aku just floated down from upstairs where he was in meditation trying to figure out what his brother's next plot was. The three quickly sat at the table were Crash was setting up the food much to the Bandicoot's family surprise. Atlas and Tettra walked up and took two seats next to each other while Crash took the last chair at the table, a big smile on his face.
