Chapter 3: Annoying Ottsel
The creatures began advancing towards our misfit group of heroes before Crash grabbed Cortex and began spinning.
"What are you doing you brainless bandicoot?!" screamed Cortex as he was smashed into the creatures.
"Who you calling brainless?" snapped Crash as he spun Cortex around until all the creatures were defeated and he let Cortex go who instantly lost his lunch and he looked green in the face after he rejoined them.
"Never...*gag*...again...*groans*" said Cortex holding his stomach.
"Yo, Cortex! Ain't we forgetting somebody?" said Crunch counting off everybody in the group with his metal fingers. Cortex looked at the muscular bandicoot confused before a light bulb appeared above his head and his expression went sour.
"I forgot my daug- er...NIECE!" yelled Cortex grabbing his hair.
"Cortex..." said Crash eyeing the mad scientist quizzically, "When we first fought the Twins, you said the exact same thing when Evil Crash took her. Is she really your niece, or is she your daughter?"
"She...actually is...my...daughter.(1)" said Cortex hesitantly.
"I knew it!" said Coco crossing her arms.
"Pardon my interruption." said Uka-Uka, "But...HOW DO WE GET OUT OF THIS PLACE!? THE EVIL TWINS ARE BACK AND LAST TIME ME AND MY BROTHER GOT OUR A$$ES KICKED WHEN WE FOUGHT THEM AND I DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH THAT AGAIN!"
"We find allies that have their world in danger due to the Victor and Mortiz(2) trying to destroy us and go from there." said Cortex relaxed.
"Great, and I bet some hero is gonna help us out here?" said Crash. An anvil tied to a rope then falls on Crash's head and the group looks up to see a small orange creature looking down at them.
"Sorry! My aim was a little off." said the creature, "Climb up the rope. And hurry before more Metal Heads show up!"
"I'll listen to the rodent!" said Cortex climbing up the rope before they knew it. Crunch lifted the anvil off Crash and threw him over his shoulder and climbed up the rope.
"Mommy is that you?" said Crash to the wall as wumpa fruit flew around his head. The group then find themselves near the exit and a young man with a rather large rifle is shooting Metal Heads and then turn towards the group.
"Get in!" snapped the man as he used his rifle to smack away a Metal Head. The group comply and get into a rather tight small vehicle with Crunch manning the large 50 cal. machine gun mounted on the back. The green-blonde gets in and drives off into a scorching desert.
"What were you thinking Dax?! I told you to wait for me!" snapped the blonde at the small creature riding on his shoulder.
"Hey, I told you I heard a girly scream in there..." snapped the creature back and Cortex hides his face that is completely red and it becomes redder upon hearing Crash and Crunch's laughter. The small creature then notices Coco.
"Hey there baby. What do you think of my ride?" said the creature.
"Back away from my sister fuzzball." snapped Crash.
"Who you calling fuzzball?" snapped the creature.
"Do you see any other orange creatures that are two feet tall? No! So, I'm calling you a fuzzball, fuzzball!"
"That's it!" yelled the creature lunging at Crash and the two start fighting and everybody groans.
"DAXTER! Stop it! I'm trying to drive!" snapped the blonde.
"Jak, he started it!" whined Daxter as he continued to pull Crash's ears.
"I don't care! QUIT IT!" yelled Jak.
"Why'd I get stuck with idiots?" mumbled Cortex to himself as they continued driving and came to a large walled city.
END CHAPTER
(1) This does not truly affect the Crash franchise and I did it just for fun.
(2) When I introduce Mortiz in Chapter 1, I didn't give him the correct name and corrected it here.
Hope you enjoyed this and yes, the group is now in Jak 'n' Daxter's universe. Two Naughty Dog games (which were wrongfully abandoned!) in one story, hope you enjoy and continue to read, review, follow, and favorite this wacky adventure.
