Chapter 2

Shattering the Perfect World

*Knock knock*
*CRASH*

Twilight and Spike jumped out of their seats at the sound of their front door being knocked over. They ran out and saw an orange bandicoot wearing pants, holding a purple crystal, and a smile plastered to his face, standing with his foot out.

"Oh-oh m-my! I-I-I apologize Twilight. M-m-my friend here i-is a bit i-i-impatient." Fluttershy stuttered as she flew into the library Twilight called home. She looked at the bandicoot and shuddered, "M-may I speak with you, please."

Twilight looked at her shy friend, "Fluttershy? What is that bandicoot doing wearing pants and breaking down doors?"

Fluttershy looked at her friend with tears in her eyes, "I-I don't know. I found him on my doorstep, knocked out and upside-down. I honestly down know where he came from, but he won't speak to me."

"You know animals can't speak right?" Twilight said with a raised eyebrow.

"But he can. He usually says 'woah' but he won't speak to me." Fluttershy said, sounding annoyed. As if to prove her point, the bandicoot tripped and smashed his face into a bookshelf and yelled out, "WOAH!"

The book-smart unicorn grinned a bit, before grabbing a book off of a shelf with her magic and reading aloud, "Baboon. Badger. Ah, Bandicoot!"

At the sound of his species being called out, the bandicoot looked at the unicorn, an oblivious smile still stuck on his face.



--------------------



"Wow! That there sounds like a strange neighborhood tah live in," Big Mac said to the little bandicoot riding on his back, "That reminds me, this whole trip we've talked, yet ah never caught yer name."

"Oh! Your right. My name is Coco Bandicoot. What's yours?" Coco asked the red work pony.

"Ah'm Bic Macintosh, but most ponies call me Big Mac. Now, y'all say you got a brother that flew off. What should ah be lookin' fer." Bic Mac said, having finally reached the outskirts of Ponyville.

Coco put her hand to her chin, "Well, he's tall, wears blue jeans, a pair of red and white sneakers, and has a smile on his face 24/7. He also says..."

"WOAH!"

"Yeah, that!" Coco said, having only a second before she realized only one bandicoot sounded that way, "THAT'S CRASH!"

Big Mac looked towards the library, as the noise came from there. "Well we better get there fast. Wouldn't y'all say?" Big Mac said calmly as he galloped towards the library.



-----------------



Cortex sent out only one more robot, just to scout, and nearly toppled over from the sight of a Hydra on the screen. After that, he sent out three more robots, and had all four of them attach a mind-controlling helmet to each head. Then he sent the creature to scout outside the forest it resided in, when he saw a town. A very primitive-like town with a power crystal energy signature coming from it.

Cortex grinned, "Attack." He commanded, and the Hydra roared.



-------------------



Twilight, Fluttershy, Crash and Spike all froze.

"A-a-a-a h-hy-hydra!?" Fluttershy stuttered out, just before another roar tore through Ponyville, "B-b-but hydras n-n-never l-leave the forest."

Twilight dropped the book and looked out a window, and nearly screamed. This was a fully mature hydra that was attacking, and it had it's sights set on...the library. "We need to go, now!"

*CRASH*

"IS THAT SCRAGGLY ORANGE DOLT CRAZY!?" Twilight screamed as she watched the bandicoot in denim run straight towards the creature.

"W-well, he did fight a rampaging manticore," whispered Fluttershy, which earned her a surprised look from Twilight.

Spike walked up between the two mares and bluntly stated, "I think he's gonna get killed."



-----------------------



"Crash!?" Coco blurted out as her big brother zoomed passed her and Big Mac, who was now getting her to safety.



----------------------



Cortex laughed harder, as the hydra lumbered onward. But then, the hydra stopped looking at the large tree towards the middle of town, and focused on an orange blur. No, it was orange and blue, like denim jeans blue.

"No...It can't be. It's not possible...it can't be the meddling bandicoot. IT CAN'T BE MY CREATION CRASH BANDICOOT!" Cortex screamed, but it was unmistakable. Everything else fled, yet this blur went straight towards the hydra, and as it got closer, Cortex could see those pearly whites.

The hydra lunged one of it's heads at the bandicoot, "NO!" Cortex scrambled for his microphone, but it was too late. The hydra's helmet was destroyed by a spin from the cursed bandicoot.



------------------------



Crash jumped on the lunging head, and saw a device with the Cortex insignia. Despite being a complete idiot, he knew that this device needed to be destroyed and disposed of. With a quick spin he knocked it clean off, destroying it in the process, before running along the dazed hydra's neck and coaxing the other heads to try a bite. Each head took the bait and was freed of Cortex's control. Of course, not without consequence. The hydra, exsausted from fighting the helmets control, collapsed and sent the orange bandicoot flying forward. He rolled and stopped, legs splayed and hands down in front, yet an unchanging smile stayed on his face as he stared at the multi-colored ponies and his sister.

Spike walked up to the bandicoot and said, "That was so cool!"

All the ponies cheered, having not met the bandicoot but understanding his heroism, and Coco hugged her brother.



----------------------



Cortex tore at his hair in anger and, to be frank, insanity. The bandicoot arriving was the last straw, it was the breaking point for the scientist's mind.

"CURSE THAT BANDICOOT!" Cortex screamed, the hate filled words echoing through his empty lab.

*Beep* *Beep*

"Huh?" Cortex looked up at the energy signatures coming from a half-destroyed helmet. "Something, just as powerful as the crystals? In some, ponies? This world is inhabited by ponies? Heh. Haha! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!"





What does Cortex have in mind for the peaceful Equestrians?
What is this power(as if you don't already know)?
What happened to Applejack?
Why am I asking questions?

Find out later, in Chapter 3!
