Welcome to New York City, the City of Adventure, Pizza, Ninjas and Mutants! Let's see what the Turtles and Rainbooms are up to. OH! Looks like they're going on night patrol with the Dazzlings. In the Turtle Lair, Mikey, Pinkie, and Sonata were working on their skateboard, rollerblades, and bicycle.

"Hey Mikey, can you hand me the socket wrench? I want to tighten the front wheel on my bike." Sonata requested.

"Sure, Sonata." Mikey accepted as he handed Sonata the socket wrench as Leo called out to them.

"Mikey, Pinkie, and Sonata! We're going out on patrol. You coming?" Leo asked the three silly ninjas

"Yeah Leo, we'll catch up when we're finished here." Mikey answered.

"Alright, just don't take too long." Leo responded as he left. But no sooner than Leo did, the trio felt the air get a little colder.

"Did somebody turned down the air conditioner?" Pinkie asked.

"No, I don't think so." Sonata replied as Mikey turned his head around and saw something that scared him.

"Um... Dudettes?" Mikey whimpered, catching the two girls' attention.

"Something wrong?" Pinkie and Sonata asked in unison before they gasped as the trio saw a portal opening and sucking them, their wheels, and whatever gear was nearby in.

"Girls, grab hold of each other so we don't get separated!" Mikey told Pinkie and Sonata as everyone grabbed each other's hands and prepared for the worst, vanishing in the portal screaming, with the vortex disappeared.

"Guys?" Leo asked as he came back to make sure they weren't goofing off. "You three better not be-" Leo stopped himself as he just realized the silly trio screamed in fear. "OH NO!!! I gotta tell the others!"

Meanwhile, at Wumpa Island, we see an orange bandicoot mutant in blue jean shorts and red shoes. It was the heroic, yet not bright, Crash Bandicoot! Crash was racing to find Aku Aku when he saw all sorts of stuff falling from the sky. "What's going on?" Crash mumbled to himself as he looked up, seeing three screaming stranger fall from the sky and crash on top of him.

"That hurt." Mikey groaned.

"That's going to hurt in the morning." Pinkie remarked, rubbing her bottom.

"Anyone else's head ringing?" Sonata asked, holding her head in pain.

"Can you three please get off me, please?" The three heard Crash mumble from within the pile, making the trio scrambled off Crash as he pulled himself out of the dirt.

"Dude, so sorry for crashing into you like that." Mikey apologized.

"You okay?" Pinkie asked in concern.

"Uh-huh." Crash simply answered.

"Wait... *GASP!* Are you a mutant?!" Sonata asked the bandicoot, with that guess making Crash jump back in shock.

"HUH?!" Crash yelped, completely surprised.

"Bro, it's cool. We're friendly. I'm Michelangelo, but you can all me Mikey." Mikey assured Crash as he introduced himself.

"I'm Pinkie Pie." Pinkie said.

"And I'm Sonata Dusk." Sonata finished.

"Well, the name's Crash Bandicoot." Crash said as he introduced himself.

"Did you run into the Kraang and their Mutagen?" Mikey asked Crash, curious about his mutation.

"I don't know what that is, but Dr. Cortex was the one who mutated me with machines." Crash answered, leaving the three playful ninjas positively agast!

"WHAT?! YOUDIDN'TGETMUTATEDBYTHEKRAANGORTHEIRMUTAGENBUTSOGUYYOUCALLEDDRCORTEX?!" Pinkie asked, faster than the bandicoot could comprehend.

"...Yes, Dr. Cortex and N. Brio mutated me. Why do you ask that, mates?" Crash answered as he asked them a question in return.

"We have some experience with Mutants." Mikey answered in a "matter of fact" manner.

"Well, you can explain it while we're gathering up all this stuff. Something is telling me we're going to need it." Crash said as the ninja trio got their stuff and followed the bandicoot.

Half an hour later, Mikey and the girls told Crash everything.

"Crikey! And here I thought I had crazy adventures. My condolences on Master Splinter." Crash said to the trio.

"Thanks dude. He was the best father me and my bros could have." Mikey responded in gratitude.

"The best sensei me and my friends, in fact, anyone could ever have." Pinkie added.

"He was a radical rat and wise friend." Sonata finished

"Oh! Look, mates! We're almost there!" Crash said as he pointed toward a strange building.

"Whoa...! Awesome treehouse! It's like Princess Twilight's crystal tree castle!" Mikey thought as he and the two kunoichis awed at the sight of it.

"Welcome to my home. Go ahead and take inventory of your stuff while I get the others." Crash told them.

"Thanks dude!" Mikey said in gratitude as he went off.

"Ooh! Crash, you got any tacos?" Sonata asked Crash.

"Sure I do." Crash answered

"YAY!!!" Sonata cheered.

"OOH!!! I gotta throw a party!!!" Pinkie declared in excitement as she dashed off to find party supplies while Sonata ran into the house to find the tacos.

A wooden voodoo mask with colorful feathers then floated to Crash, it was of course the magical mask Aku Aku, deity of good of Wumpa Island. "Crash, earlier this morning, I sensed a great danger coming. I used my Mojo magic to bring great warriors of skills, strength, and intelligence to help us. Have you seen anyone like that?" Aku Aku asked his bandicoot friend.

"Haven't seen anyone special except me new mates." Crash answered, mentioning his three new friends.

"New friends?" Aku Aku asked in confusion, when Mikey came back.

"Hey, Crash! I forgot to ask! Do you have any pi-AAAAHHHH!!! Floating voodoo mask!!!" Mikey screamed in a panic.

"Mikey, calm down. This is my friend, Aku Aku. He helped protect me and my family as well as helping us beat Dr. Cortex again and again." Crash said, introducing his friend.

"Crash is right, and I suppose you're one of his new friends." Aku Aku confirmed as he assumed Mikey's situation with Crash, calming Mikey's nerves.

"Phew. That was close. Anyway, name’s Michelangelo, but you can call me Mikey." Mikey said introducing himself to the voodoo mask.

"Pleased to meet you, Michelangelo." Aku Aku greeted back as Pinkie and Sonata came rushing up armed with their weapons and a Bokken Sword.

"Mikey, we heard screaming. What's wrong?" Pinkie asked her pranking turtle friend.

"That would be because of me. Apologies, children." Aku Aku answered as he apologized for the misunderstanding.

“Talking Voodoo Mask... That's a new one for me.” Sonata admitted as Aku Aku sensed a familiar magic coming Mikey, Pinkie Pie and Sonata, but couldn't remember where it's from.

“I'll get us all some pizza if you let me have that Wooden Sword and train me.” Crash negotiated, which Mikey agreed to.

“Sure, bro.” Mikey said as he tossed Crash a wooden sword as the two of them went outside to train.

“What's going on down there?” A female voice asked from upstairs on the right, catching Aku Aku, Pinkie, and Sonata's attention.

“Yeah! What the wumpaheck's going on out here?” A male voice agreed from upstairs on the left.

“Oh, Coco, Crunch. Crash just brought back some new friends. Why don't you two come out and meet them?” Aku Aku suggested as Pinkie and Sonata saw a larger bandicoot with a prosthetic right arm and a female bandicoot walk down the stairs. It was Coco Bandicoot and Crunch Bandicoot!

“Hi, girls. I'm Crash's sister, Coco.” Coco greeted as she introduced herself.

“How's it going, ya two? Name's Crunch, Crash's big bro.” Crunch introduced himself as he did a muscle flex, when Pinkie noticed his metal arm.

“WHOA!!! That's one tough arm! How did you get it?!” Pinkie asked in excitement.

“Dunno. But I think I got it when Cortex mutated me.” Crunch answered with a shrug.

“Ya know, I've been wondering. Who's this ‘Dr. Cortex’ you and Crash keep talking about?” Sonata asked in curiosity.

“Tsk, he's a jerk who's... Wait, where is Crash? I heard his voice a minute ago.” Coco wondered as she noticed her big brother wasn’t here. Then everyone heard some noises and looked outside, seeing Mikey and Crash doing some intense training.

“Whoa! This is like a martial arts movie.” Coco squealed in excitement.

“Have we got a story to tell you.” Sonata said.

“But first, let’s get lunch started. No sense telling a story on an empty stomach.” Pinkie suggested as everyone else inside agreed. Later while having lunch, Pinkie and Sonata told the two bandicoots and Aku Aku everything.

“Whoa! You're ninjas?!” Coco asked the kunoichis, completely amazed.

“Yep!” Sonata simply answered with a smile.

“That sounds fantabulous!” Crunch said with one of his “catchphrases.”

“Ooh! I like that! Fantastic and Fabulous! I think Rarity would love that word!” Pinkie said in excitement, liking to combine words herself.

“Still... Sorry about Splinter.” Coco apologized, feeling sorry for what they went through.

“Yeah... He sounded like a manlorable papa-rat mutant.” Crunch agreed with another catchphrase/combined word.

“Thanks. And again, Crunch, I like that! Manly and Honorable!” Pinkie said in gratitude and happiness, as Aku Aku was still left speechless from that story.

“Equestria... I know I've heard that somewhere.” Aku Aku thought as Mikey and Crash came limping in, exhausted and hungry.

“You didn't tell us lunch was being served.” Crash whined.

“Oopsie. Sorry about that. We just really got caught up in meeting Aku Aku, Coco and Crunch.” Pinkie explained.

“We still have food, and besides Crash, didn't you say you'd get us pizza?” Sonata asked, reminding the heroic bandicoot mutant.

“Guh... I did. All right, here we go.” Crash said as he went off and came back with heated pizza.

“Ooh boy! I can't wait to taste this pizza!” Mikey cheered in excitement as he tasted the pizza, making an explosion of flavor happen in the turtle’s mouth, with the Mikey greatly enjoying it.

Then Coco noticed Aku Aku looking distracted. “Huh? Aku Aku? Are you okay?” Coco asked, snapping Aku Aku out of it.

“What? Oh, Coco. Yeah, I'm alright.” Aku Aku answered.

“Hey guys, we better take inventory of the junk that came with you three.” Crash to the ninja trio as  Mikey and girls laid out their stuff.

“Aside from our wheels, we've got a handful of Kunais and Shurikins, tools to fix and repair our wheels, a grappling hook, a canister of Sprinkles, and the Bokken we gave Crash.” Mikey listed.

“None of this stuff can get us home.” Sonata sadly said.

“Don't worry you three, we'll find a way to get you all home.” Aku Aku assured them.

“You know Aku Aku, once we find a way for the to get back, maybe we'll also find a way to stay in touch.” Coco suggested, which the other two bandicoots and voodoo mask agreed with.

“Hmm... That may be a good idea, Coco.” Aku Aku responded as he remembered that strange mojo from Pinkie, Sonata and Mikey. “It'll definitely give me more time to find out more about this Equestrian Magic and find out why Equestria sounds so familiar to me.”

“Hey, guys. Maybe we should take a break outside, chillax and think about things.” Crunch suggested.

“I'd like that, Crunch.” Crash replied with a thumbs up.

“Same here, dudes and dudette.” Mikey agreed.

“I'll make this an outdoor party!” Pinkie cheered.

“I think we're gonna have so much fun here!” Sonata said in pure excitement. But little did any of them know, a tiny spybot was watching them.

At a strange hideout, we see a yellow man with blue hair, a big head, a metal N on his forehead and a white lab coat. It was Crash's arch-enemy, Dr. Neo Cortex. “Well, looks like the vermin made some new friends. They can't be what you sensed earlier, Uka Uka.” Dr. Cortex told this “Uka Uka” with doubt.

Next we see a floating skeletal voodoo mask with horns and bones hanging on ropes attached to them. It was Aku Aku’s evil twin brother, Uka Uka! “Do not mock me, Cortex! Those pink and blue girls and that turtle could be a dangerous threat to our plans!” Uka Uka told Dr. Cortex.

"Oh, fine. Besides, it's not like they'll beat us." Dr. Cortex said to the evil mask.

"Hmm... You do have a point. But we must attack now!" Uka Uka admitted before giving the order.

"You know I simply can't refuse another chance to destroy that blasted bandicoot! Besides, with what you taught me, he, those other bandicoots, Aku Aku and those annoying friends of his won't stand a chance." Dr. Cortex gloated.

"HAHAHAHAHA!!! Those goody two-shoes have met their match this time!" Uka Uka agreed with dark laughter.

"Get ready, Crash Bandicoot. You and your friends. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!" Dr. Cortex declared as he began laughing his maniacal laugh.

To be continued...
> Episode 1: A New Hop

In Crash's house, Crash looked at his Bokken Sword with a new sheath.

"Thanks again for making me this custom sheath, Sonata." Crash said to Sonata in gratitude.

"No problem. Now, let's get some practice in." Sonata responded.

"Alright! Let's go dudes!" Mikey declared.

"We'll help you get better, AND have fun training, Crash!" Pinkie told Crash.

"Extreme training time!" Crash shouted before he trained with Mikey, Pinkie and Sonata for the next hour, then took a break, hanging out with Coco and Crunch.

"I can't believe you guys went to a Wild West dimension and discovered the town's mayor was a criminal and the sheriff was just as corrupt. That's so infuriating!" Crunch said in frustration as he was doing some push-ups.

"Yeah, we were pretty ticked off, too." Mikey agreed.

"Mayor Bulloney sounds almost as bad as Cortex." Coco dreaded.

"Hmm... I dunno. Something tells me that Mayor Bulloney is worse than Cortex." Sonata noted.

"Well, me, Coco and Aku Aku did have to team up with Cortex to save all of time and space from Dr. N. Tropy." Crash remembered as he then began licking a purple wrench.

"I guess Cortex isn't bad every time." Sonata said.

"I suppose evil has good in them, just as good has evil inside, like Moo Mesa's sheriff and mayor." Aku Aku agreed.

"Amen to that, Aku Aku." Coco added.

"Hey Coco, what are you working on?" Pinkie asked the female bandicoot.

"I'm working on a way for the world to recycle butter." Coco answered as Crash let out a huge burp.

"Ooh! Nice!" Mikey commented, impressed by that.

"Hey, stop that!" Crunch responded to Crash's burp.

"Hey, that was a good one." Coco said, making Crash giggle in response to that. "Ok ok, hand me the transpalooper." Coco requested, much to the trio and Crash's confusion.

"Huh?" Mikey, Pinkie and Sonata uttered, knowing it was Donnie talk.

"The transwhalooper?" Crash asked, not having a clue what she's talking about.

"Ha ha, the purple thingy." Coco answered as she pointed at the purple wrench Crash had.

"Ah!" Crash, Sonata, Pinkie and Mikey realized as the bandicoot hero then got onto his feet and noticed something.

"Look at that!" Crash called out as everyone else noticed what he was looking at, that being was a huge iron airship with the letter N on its side which opened up its hatch, revealing a megaphone.

"Is… Is this thing on? Yeah? Haha! I'm back, babies! Surrender to Cortex!" Dr. Cortex ordered.

"Make us, sucker!" Crunch responded.

"Hey, genius, I can't actually hear you. I'm really far away and I'm flying like a hovercraft or something." Dr. Cortex taunted.

"Huh. He actually makes a really good point when he says it like that." Pinkie noticed.

"I will deal with them. I have been fighting evil for many centuries." Aku Aku declared, much to Crunch's confusion.

"What? You don't even got a body!" Crunch responded, making Aku Aku look at Crunch with a raised eyebrow from that comment.

Then Pinkie's hair started shaking, scaring the party kunoichi. "AH! Twitchy hair!" Pinkie panicked, causing panic in her other two ninja friends.

"That means...!" Mikey started.

"Something's gonna fall!" Sonata finished. But before anyone could question what they're talking about, a cage fell onto Aku Aku, capturing him.

"Help!" Aku Aku yelped as his cage started to get lifted, followed by a second one capturing Coco.

"Guys! Help!" Coco cried out as her cage also started to get lifted into the mechanical blimp.

"Aku Aku! Coco!" Crash panicked as a cannon aimed at the others, glowing ice blue, shooting a beam.

"Freeze Ray!" Mikey shouted as the ninja trio and Crash dodged, but Crunch couldn't in time, finding his whole body except his head and neck frozen in a block of ice.

"I'm off to do bad things! Ta-ta!" Dr. Cortex said as he bid farewell.

Crash then decided to free Aku Aku, by throwing Coco's invention.

"Are you sure Coco's gonna be okay with that?" Sonata asked in concern.

"If it's to save the world, Wumpa Island or Coco, she doesn't mind at all" Crash answered as he threw the invention at Aku Aku's cage, causing it to fall to the ground in the forest.

"AAAAAAHHHH! *CRASH* Oh-ho..." They heard Aku Aku groan in pain from the fall.

"Uh... I'm just gonna stay here awhile." Crunch simply said, knowing this will take some time to break out of the ice.

"Let's do this mates!" Crash declared.

"Alright!" Sonata agreed.

"Rainboom power! Whee-hee!" Pinkie Pie cheered.

"Booyakasha!!!" Mikey shouted his catchphrase as he and the other heroes went off into the cave. "Guys, quiet. I hear something up ahead." Mikey said as he and the others hid, seeing two dorky rats walking up.

"Remind me again what exactly is a Bandicoot." The first rat requested.

"I don't know what a bandicoot is. But the boss, Dr. Cortex said if we see a bandicoot, take it out." The second rat responded.

"Oh yeah. But what does a bandicoot look like?" The first rat asked.

"Maybe I can help with that." Crash called out, catching the two rats' attention.

"Thank you, sir. That would be very..." The first rat started to thank Crash, but trailed off as the pair of rats gulped at the sight of the bandicoot patting his hand with his Bokken sword.

"You wouldn't hit a guy with glasses, would you?" The second rat asked as Crash stood still, allowing the two rats to jump onto him, starting to bite and scratch him. But while the pair of rats were one Crash, the bandicoot decided to give them his signature spin twist attack, with Bokken sword on the side, knocking the two of the minions out.

"Whoa dude. Seeing that doesn't get old." Mikey awed.

"Yeah, I don't think it ever will." Pinkie agreed.

"You know, Crash. You were awesome before, but now with that sword, you're even more awesome!" Sonata cheered.

"Thanks, mates." Crash said in gratitude.

"Ooh! I know what to call these little dudes, Ratnicians!" Mikey declared.

"Drat! But there's more of us up ahead on the ridge. They'll have you outnumbered 20 to 4." The ratnician mocked, underestimating the four heroes.

"Means there’ll be plenty for all of us." Crash responded.

"And we got them outmatched." Mikey agreed.

"Ohhh, we should come up with some moves, too." Pinkie Pie suggested.

"Yeah! That'll make us as awesome as the others!" Sonata cheered.

"Sonata, dudette, you just read my mind!" Mikey said in excitement.

"Mine too!" Pinkie added.

"Well, mates, I think making combo moves and usin' 'em will give the edge against Cortex and his minions." Crash agreed as he spotted a large group of ratnicians.

"Whoo-hoo!!!" Mikey, Sonata and Pinkie cheered in unison.

"But right now, we got the element of surprise. Here's the plan..." Crash started explaining his plan, while the ratnician group waited impatiently for something to happen till Crash's Bokken Sword came spinning towards them and knocked out 5 of them as it flew back to Crash.

"I'm going to give you guys one chance: Stand aside and help me and my friends get to Aku Aku or be beaten into the dirt." Crash offered, only making the ratnicians laugh.

"Even with that little Boomerang move, it's 15 against one." A ratnician mocked, being overconfident. Just then, a chain was launched and wrapped up 5 more ratnician and pulled them into a bush where punching sounds were heard.

"Still, 10 against one is still good." The ratnician said as his confidence was slowly dwindling, when mist started to roll in, with all of the ratnicians heard more punching sounds, and when the mist cleared, only 5 ratnicians remained.

"Uh... 5 against one's still okay?" The ratnician uttered as he was completely scared now. Then a blue blur came in, knocking out the last 5 ratnicians.

"Now it's zero against four." Crash said, as Pinkie, Mikey and Sonata revealed themselves, being responsible for the sneak attacks.

"Nice job." Crash congratulated his friends.

"All thanks to your planning." Mikey said, being modest.

"GO TEAM BANDICOOT!!!" Pinkie Pie cheered.

"Uh... Guys? Unidentified floating object." Sonata pointed out as everyone saw a strange mechanical toilet, with Crash doing his Swornadorang attack on it, destroying the machine.

"That was one of Cortex's spybots." Crash explained

"So if we find anymore of those spybots, we bust 'em up!" Mikey said.

"Exactly, Mikey. But that made you sound like Raph." Pinkie told the prankster ninja turtle.

"Guys, we better find Aku Aku. He's not going to last long against these things." Crash said, feeling worried about his friend, as everyone forged ahead until they came across a huge gap.

"Can we swim across?" Sonata asked, looking down at the river below.

"Nah, waters going too fast." Crash answered.

"It's easy! We jump across!" Pinkie declared.

"Good idea Pinkie! But it looks risky." Mikey said, sharing his concern about her plan.

"C'mon! It's just a hop, skip, and a jump!" Pinkie scoffed of as music started playing.

(Cue the song!Listen to it!)

Pinkie Pie:
It's not very far
Just move your little rump
You can make it if you try with a hop, skip and jump

"Really?" Sonata asked.

"Really. I've done that before, mates." Crash confirmed.

Pinkie:
A hop, skip and jump,
Just move your little rump,
A hop, skip and jump,
A hop, skip and jump,
A hop, skip and jump,
A hop skip and jump,
A hop skip and jump!

The song ended as Pinkie jumped from rock pillar to rock pillar and made it to the other side, followed by Crash jumping and doing his twirl technique to glide across.

"Alright guys, your turn." Crash said.

"How do we do that?" Mikey asked.

"Try using your weapons." Crash suggested, as Mikey did just that and found himself gliding through the air with his nunchucks spinning like helicopter blades. While Sonata used her grappling hook to swing across the gap from tree branch to tree branch.

"Thanks for letting me hold onto the grappling hook, Mikey." Sonata said in gratitude.

"No prob, Sonata dudette." Mikey replied.

"Having fun up there, Tarzan?" Pinkie asked Sonata.

"Plenty. And I see Aku Aku's cage ahead. And he's in trouble!" Sonata pointed out, as everyone saw Aku Aku in his cage being surrounded by ratnicians.

"Don’t worry dude and dudettes, we can take care of them, no problemo." Mikey said as he twirled his nunchucks.

"Mikey’s definitely right about that." Pinkie agreed as she was spinning the chained weight on her bakuhatsugama.

"No doubt, after all, we’re facing minions." Sonata added as she readied her tonfas for the upcoming battle.

"All right, mates… Let’s go free Aku Aku!" Crash declared as he drew his Bokken Sword, while the ratnicians came closer to Aku Aku's cage.

"Ahhh, here's the freaky mask the boss wants." The first ratnician said.

"I don't know why he wants this one when he already has one." The second ratnician replied.

"Just load him up." The first ratnician simply ordered.

"Or you can do the smart thing and let him out." Crash suggested, making the Ratnicians notice Crash Bandicoot and the others.

"It's the bandicoot!" The first ratnician shouted.

"But who are those other guys?" The second ratnician asked.

"Oh, just a mutant turtle, a human, and a human-turned siren who are all ninjas and about to kick your rat shells!" Mikey answered.

"ATTACK!" The first Ratnician ordered as he and the other Ratnicians charged, being armed with rulers and beakers.

"Hey guys, mind if I try something with some glitter?" Sonata rhetorically asked as she brought out a glitter canister from her back pocket, sprinkling some glitter on her hand and blowing them into the Ratnicians' faces.

"MY EYES!!!" The second Ratnician cried out.

"Oopsie! Should've warned ya. Not!" Sonata said as she knocked a Ratnician away with her tonfas, followed by Crash jumping behind two Ratnicians and whacking them into a tree. "I gotta admit, you three know how to make a fight fun." Crash admitted with a smile as Mikey bashed two Ratnician heads together. "Gotta love what you do." Mikey simply said.

"Yeah! It's important to have fun in your life." Pinkie agreed as she used her magic on a group of ratnicians, making her affected sprinkles explode in color, disorienting the mutant rats. "Time to wrap this up!" Pinkie Pie punned as she wrapped the disoriented ratnicians and made them spin into different directions.

"Yo-yo Collision!" Mikey shouted out a combo special move as he whacked a ratnician with one of his nunchucks, followed by Pinkie attacking another ratnician with the sickle of her weapon, then by Sonata punching a third ratnician with her tonfas, and lastly by Crash spin-twist attacking the fourth ratnician, sending the four disoriented ratnicians crashing back into each other. But nobody noticed one sneaking away as everyone got Aku Aku out.

"Thank you, everyone. My powers were useless against them." Aku Aku said.

"It's okay, Aku Aku." Crash reassured his voodoo mask friend.

"Yeah mask dude, no biggie." Mikey agreed.

"Dark magic is behind these creatures. Strange things are afoot." Aku Aku said, confusing Crash and Sonata.

"Uh... Huh?" Crash asked, not knowing what Aku Aku meant by that.

"But you're a mask, which means that-" Sonata tried to tell the good mask, only for Aku Aku to cut her off. "Yes, I know I don't have feet. Let's just go already." Aku Aku said.

"Pinchy knee!" And as soon as Pinkie said that, everyone heard a scary roar, seeing a strange mutant that had spikes on its back, making everyone cower as the creature left. "I'm starting to wish Leatherhead or Traximus was with us."

"You and me both, Pinks." Mikey agreed.

"That makes three of us." Sonata added.

"Guys, I'm not crazy about running about the possibility of running into that thing. But we got to save Coco." Crash said, as the trio knew Crash was right and went ahead with him and Aku Aku.

"Hey Aku Aku, you said dark magic created these creatures. How many sorcerers with dark magic are on this island?" Mikey asked Aku Aku, making the mask feel ashamed as he didn't want to tell them this was his brother's work. Crash knew that look on Aku Aku's face and decided it wasn't the time to tell the ninja trio who's responsible.

"There's very few dark sorcerers on Wumpa Island, because there's only one. But now's not the time for that." Crash urged.

"Crash is right. We need to find Cortex and rescue Coco." Aku Aku agreed.

"Alright! Let's-a go!" Pinkie declared, making a jump like a certain hero. The group continued moving ahead only to run into the creature they saw earlier, as it looked like a porcupine, only it looked the size of Slash. Three Ratnicians tried to ambush it, but the creature noticed them and brought spikes from the ground.

"Dude! That spiky dude just used the power of the earth! That's it! That's what he'll be called, Spike!" Mikey declared.

"Uh, Mikey? Hate to spoil your name creating fun, but I think we'll run into more Spikes, so I think that's what kind of mutant titan they are." Pinkie said, not wanting to hurt one of her best friends' feelings.

"Oh. Good point, Pinkster." Mikey admitted.

"But how are we gonna get past him?" Sonata asked.

"Perhaps we can use him. If you 4 can stun him, I can use my Mojo magic to take control of him." Aku Aku explained.

"I think I have an idea. Mikey, how hard is your shell?" Crash asked.

"Hard." Mikey simply answered.

"Pinkie, we need a distrac... Pinkie?" Crash called out to Pinkie, only to hear her voice.

"Hey! Big guy! Over here!" Pinkie Pie yelled, attracting the attention of the Spike titan, seeming like she was already distracting him.

"Pinkie can be way ahead of her game when she wants to be." Sonata said as she grabbed onto Mikey's shell, with Crash getting ready to throw it with Aku Aku on her back.

"Ready?" Crash asked.

"Ready." Sonata and Aku Aku confirmed as Crash then threw Mikey's shell across the ground with Sonata and Aku Aku on it, when Mikey crashed right into the Spike titan, disorienting it long enough for Sonata to jump onto it and put Aku Aku on the mutant's face, jacking it, making Aku Aku turning into the Spike titan's head shape.

"Aku Aku, did it work?" Sonata asked as Aku Aku started moving the Spike titan.

"It worked." Aku Aku answered through the Spike titan as he cleared the path to find Ratnicians waiting.

"It's the bandicoot and his friends!" The first ratnician shouted

"Ah! One of them is jacking the big guy!" The second ratnician yelped.

"So we can just take him down with the others!" The third ratnician declared, trying to put up a brave face.

"You guys really think you can win?" Aku Aku rhetorically asked, making the ratnicians in the area scared and run away.

"He's almost as bad as Uka Uka." The first ratnician mentioned as he disappeared from view with the other ratnicians.

"Who?" The ninja trio asked, wondering who this "Uka Uka" was. But before Aku Aku could respond to that, Pinkie's geode, Mikey's medallion and Sonata's body began to glow, summoning a rainbow laser that surrounded the Spike titan. When the laser disappeared, Aku Aku no longer felt any bad mojo in it and got off of his face, leaving the Spike confused.

"Ugh... What happened? *GASP!* I can talk?!" The Spike titan gasped in complete shock.

"That's great. Can you tell us what happened?" Crash asked the big mutant, relieved that they have a new friend on their side.

"Myself and many others were captured and mutated by Dr. Neo Cortex. He had help with a floating mask that looks like your friend here." The Spike titan answered, making the three goofy ninjas look at Aku Aku, who seemed more downtrotten.

"Aku Aku, you can tell us the problem." Pinkie assured the good voodoo mask.

"We won't judge you." Mikey added, making Aku Aku sigh.

"Very well, the one behind the dark mojo in these mutants is none other than my evil twin brother, Uka Uka." Aku Aku told the silly trio, leaving Mikey, Pinkie and Sonata shocked that Aku Aku had a brother, let alone an evil one.

"For realsies?!" Sonata asked, still caught off guard by the news.

"Centuries ago, we protected the island together. But the evil side of Mojo tempted my brother. I tried to save him, but his heart became as black as night. I was afraid you three would think I was evil." Aku Aku admitted.

"We understand, Aku Aku." Mikey said, as he and the two girls understood how Aku Aku felt about that.

"It's hard to trust strangers you just met." Pinkie agreed.

"But we know you're not a bad guy if you've been protecting Crash and his family." Sonata added, seeming to have relieved Aku Aku a bit as the three ninjas, two mutants and voodoo mask went across swinging bridges and to a strange tree.

"Y'know big buy, we need to come up with a name for you. How about Stalag?" Mikey asked the Spike titan.

"Hmm... I like that name." The Spike titan-No! Stalag admitted with a smile.

"You should get out of here. You don't want Cortex taking over your mind again." Pinkie suggested to Stalag, as the Spike titan agreed. "You don't have to tell me twice. One last thing, there's more of us up ahead." Stalag warned the four heroes and voodoo mask.

"Thanks for the heads up, Stalag." Sonata said in gratitude.

"We appreciate your help, mate." Crash agreed.

"I'm just glad to be someone's friend. I'll see you guys around." Stalag bid farewell, as he began leaping away into the distance.

The group snuck ahead and saw seven Spikes, but of different colors.

"Okay, mates. Me and Aku Aku got one on the right, but how are you three gonna jack 'em?" Crash as the trio.

"Crash, dude, I'm sure we’ll figure something out along the way." Mikey assured his bandicoot friend as a lightbulb lit up next to Pinkie Pie.

"Ooh! I think I got an idea!" Pinkie squealed, pulling Mikey and Sonata into a huddle because she wanted her idea to be a surprise for Crash and Aku Aku.

"...I think that'll work Pinkie!" Sonata said in excitement.

"Yeah boi! You the ninja, Pinkie Pie!" Mikey agreed.

"Aku Aku, try and stay close to me." Crash said to his friend after drawing his Bokken sword.

"You got it, Crash!" Aku Aku responded to Crash.

Pinkie Pie threw up a smoke bomb and latched onto a Spike as it tried to throw her off. "Whoo-hoo!" Pinkie cheered as Sonata wrapped up another Spike with the chain from Aku Aku's cage. "Why are you hitting yourself?" Sonata asked with a smirk as Mikey jumped onto his skateboard and began attacking enemies left and right real quickly while going in a figure 8 loop. "Think you can get me dudes? No? Then how about a nunchuck to the face!" Mikey said before grabbing his skateboard and jumping onto a Spike, latching onto it with has skateboard back on his shell, followed by Sonata making the chained-up Spike spin as she latched on top of him. But that's when something strange happened... Mikey's eyes glowed orange with his medallion and the eyes of the Spike he was on glowing the same color, along with tribal tattoos of the same glow appearing on the titan. The same was happening with Pinkie, her geode, Sonata, her body and their Spikes, except for Pinkie and her Spike, it was pink, and for Sonata and her Spike, it was sea blue.

"What the..." Sonata uttered through her Spike as she raised her left arm, which was the Spike's left arm.

"Dude... What's going on?" Mikey asked through his Spike as he looked at his Spike body.

"Just I as suspected." Pinkie said through her Spike with a growing smile as she whacked ratnicians away like flies. "Thanks to our magic, we can jack the titan mutants in our own way and have the experience of being titans at the same time! Whee-hee!"

"We can question why I'm able to after we help Crash." Sonata told her friends through the Spike titan as everyone saw Crash struggling, convincing Mikey-Spike to jump up high into the air.

"Crikey! Havin' some trouble here!" Crash yelped as he kept dodging attacks with Aku Aku only blocking medium attacks.

"I'm sorry Crash, my protection isn't as strong as it was before, even though I could protect you any time." Aku Aku apologized when he and Crash heard Mikey's voice.

"BOOYAKA-SPIKE-ASHA!" Mikey-Spike cried out as he slammed his fists into the ground, causing spikes to erupt from the ground, knocking out Ratnicians and Spikes, while stunning one Spike long enough for Crash to jack it with Aku Aku.

"Guys, what happened?" Crash asked his friends.

"Our magic helped us jack some titans." Pinkie-Spike answered as she pointed to the glowing geode on her human body, the glowing medallion on Mikey's mutant turtle body and Sonata's glowing body, where the glow was shining the brightest in her throat.

"But we destroyed my pendant. I shouldn't any of my Siren Evil Magic." Sonata-Spike said in shock.

"Perhaps it's not the evil part you kept." Aku Aku-Spike theorized.

"Yeah, Aku Aku's right, dudette! Since you and the other dazzlings are friends with us and on our side, you have your good magic, Sonata." Mikey-Spike agreed.

"Doesn't that sound awesome, Sonata?" Pinkie-Spike asked as Sonata thought deeply about this new discovery, and gave a genuine smile though the Spike titan, happy for herself and all of her friends.

"...Yeah. I can't wait to tell Adagio, Aria and the others!" Sonata-Spike said in excitement.

"Guys, we can't keep them like this." Crash said.

"He's right. This is wrong." Mikey agreed.

"Yeah. If me and the rest of the dazzlings are gonna use magic, we're gonna use it for the right reason." Sonata added, wanting to make up for her mistakes.

"I have a feeling that once we disconnect of the titans we're jacking, they'll wanna take a nap for a few hours." Pinkie guessed as the group released the Spikes, with the mutant titans leaving them. "Where are they going?"

"They'll be resting by our homes. They'll be safe." Aku Aku answered.

"Good thing I knocked down that odd tree before we went back to normal." Sonata said as she pointed to a hollow fallen tree, which led into a giant empty log.

"C'mon mates, let's keep goin'." Crash said as he, Aku Aku and the ninja trio went into the log-cave.

To be continued...
> Episode 2: A Succumbing to Age Story
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's see what's going on in the turtles' dimension. It seems that everyone’s in the Lair after Leo called them in.

"Leo, what's going on?" Adagio asked.

"Mikey! Pinkie Pie! Sonata! They're gone!" Leo panicked.

"WHAT?!" The Rainbooms, turtles, dazzlings, April, Casey, Karai and Shini gasped in complete shock.

"What do you mean 'gone?!'" Sunset asked, completely unnerved by the news.

"A dimension portal opened up and sucked them right in." Leo asnwered.

"If we're lucky, they just be in a dimension we know." Donnie added.

"C'mon, Donnie! Knowing them, they're in a different dimension!" Raph deadpanned.

"We'll definitely need to find help in case we run into trouble." Rainbow Dash admitted.

"Huh. Didn't expect ya to be alrigh' with gettin' help." Applejack noticed.

"Rainbow's right about this one, so we'll also need Princess Twilight's help." Twilight (Sci-Twi) agreed.

"Oh... I hope they're alright." Fluttershy worried.

"Darling, I'm sure Mikey, Pinkie and Sonata are alright." Rarity assured her timid friend.

"Still, we need to go now if we wanna find them." Aria said.

"We should still check Moo Mesa and Gotham." Leo told his friends.

Meanwhile in Crash's dimension/world, Crash and his friends were wondering through the jungle.

"This island is a pretty place to live." Pinkie noted.

"You got that right, Pinkie. But it still has plenty of adventures and obstacles." Crash agreed.

"Dude! I'm actually kinda jealous of you." Mikey admitted.

"Jealous? Of me? How?" Crash asked, confused.

"Because when you became a mutant, you didn't have to hide from the world for a second. While me, my bros and Master Splinter had to hide in the sewers for years." Mikey explained.

"C'mon, Mikey. I'm sure our world will accept mutants sooner or later. Or someday." Sonata said, trying to cheer up her silly turtle friend.

"Sonata's right mate." Crash agreed along with Aku Aku. "I agree as well."

"Who knows? Maybe they'll also accept aliens, too." Pinkie Pie added.

"Hope so. I always wanted to meet Traximus." Sonata agreed.

"That reminds me. Who's Traximus? I heard you say his name earlier." Crash mentioned.

"Traximus is a Triceraton, which is an alien that looks like a mutated triceratops." Mikey answered.

"Interesting. Anyway, I've been meaning to ask you three about something." Aku Aku tried to tell them, but was cut off by Pinkie.

"Maybe you can ask that later, because I spy with my little eye, a medium-sized mutant titan!" Pinkie said as she pointed to a titan that was scratching its back on a tree, looking like a hybrid of a bear and a boar.

"Hmm, that dude looks like a grizzly boar. That's it! His titan species will be known as Goar!" Mikey declared, which unfortunately was loud enough to attract the attention of the Goar, who growled at them. "Sorry."

Everyone then started dodging the Goar's strikes as they looked for a weak spot.

"This thing seems pretty slow." Sonata noticed.

"That's pretty much the weakness of some big guys, they lack speed." Pinkie responded in a "matter of fact" tone, before getting an idea. "Hey, Aku Aku, get ready to help me jack the Goar."

"Okay." Aku Aku answered as Pinkie put some sugar sprinkles in her hand, using her magic to light the sugar bomb in them.

"Wait for it... Wait for it..." Pinkie said to herself as she waited until the Goar was right in front of them. "Gotcha!" Pinkie shouted as she threw her sprinkles, making them explode right in the Goar's face, disorienting it long enough for the pink party ninja to get on top of it and put Aku Aku on its face, jacking the titan. "Any second now."

Any just like before, Pinkie's geode, Mikey's medallion and Sonata's throat began to glow, shooting a rainbow laser at the titan. When it dispersed, Aku Aku felt like the Goar was like Stalag and got off of its face.

"Ugh... Who lit the firecrackers? *Gasp!* I have a voice?!" The Goar titan gasped in surprise.

"Hey, you think you can help out and knock down this dead tree?" Mikey requested the Goar ally.

"Sure." He agreed as the Goar titan headbutted the dead tree, destroying it and clearing a path.

"You know, big guy, how would you like the name Pumbear?" Mikey suggested.

"I think I would like it." Pumbear agreed.

"You can stay with the other freed mutants near my place." Crash offered.

"Thank you. There's more up ahead and be careful about a special one further down." Pumbear warned Crash and the others, catching Sonata's attention.

"Special one?" Sonata wondered out loud as Pumbear walked off into the forest on all fours.

"Come on, guys. We won't any progress standing around." Crash urged as he and his friends snuck up ahead and found 3 more Goars up ahead and a mess of Ratnicians.

"No way we can handle all those in a straight fight." Mikey admitted.

"You three jack those Goars, I'll draw their attention." Crash told the ninja trio.

"Okay, but be careful." Sonata said to Crash in concern.

"Don't worry, I'll help protect him from attacks." Aku Aku assured Sonata and her friends.

Then the Ratnicians were caught off guard as Crash came spinning at them, knocking a few unconscious.

"Get him!" A random Ratnician ordered.

Aku Aku appeared in front of Crash, summoning a green mojo barrier around him and the bandicoot hero as Crash was attacked, giving Mikey and the girls the chance to sneak up on the Goars.

Mikey, Pinkie and Sonata hid up in the trees, and when the perfected opportunity presented itself, the pink party ninja jumped onto the Goars and jacked it, the titan's bodies temporary becoming her own, followed by Pinkie coming up with an idea. "Mikey, Sonata, Crash, Aku Aku, you'll wanna cover your ears!" Pinkie requested her friends, who didn't know why she asked that, but covered their ears anyway, even though Aku Aku didn't have any limbs or ears, as Pinkie took in a deep breath. "RRRRRROOOOOOOOAAAAAAARRRRRRR!!!" Pinkie-Goar gave a loud, thunderous and earth-shattering roar, freezing all of the ratnicians and the other two Goars dead in their tracks, completely unnerved in absolute fear and terror, allowing Mikey and Sonata to jack the other two, but got a little woozy to the experience.

"This is going to take some getting use to." Sonata-Goar noted.

"Best do it quickly." Mikey-Goar said as he, Sonata-Goar, Pinkie-Goar and Crash took down the rest of the ratnicians, who were still frozen in fear from that roar.

"And off the Goars we go!" Pinkie said cheerfully as the ninja trio disconnected form the Goars.

"You’re right, Sonata. That is going to take some getting use to." Mikey said in agreement with what Sonata said earlier.

"Yeah. So, what was it you wanted to ask, Aku Aku?" Sonata said to Aku Aku.

"I've been meaning to ask, what was that magic you used to jack those mutants, and how did you get it?" Aku Aku asked.

"You silly mask! That's Equestrian Magic, straight from Equestria!" Pinkie answered with a smile.

"Me and my sisters were originally from there, because we were sirens." Sonata explained.

"Aku Aku, you've been actually strange ever since you heard that. What's wrong?" Crash asked in concern for his friend.

"Something familiar about Equestria, but I can't remember." Aku Aku answered, just as confused as the others.

"Whaddya mean by that?" Mikey asked, when Sonata had a revolution, giving a gasp. "Aku Aku... Are you... Actually... From Equestria?" Sonata asked the voodoo mask.

"I remember I know someone from Equestria, but I don't think I was a native." Aku Aku answered.

"So much for that theory." Pinkie deadpanned.

"Wait a minute dude..." Mikey realized.

"What is it, Mikey?" Crash asked the ninja turtle.

"I've been to Equestria more than once, and I met a lot of creatures. Aku Aku, do you know Princess Celestia, or sister, Luna or a zebra named Zecora? Or any of the pillars; Starswirl the Bearded, Flash Magnus, Rockhoof, Mistmane, Somnambula, or Mage Meadowbrook?" Mikey asked, but when he said Meadowbrook's name, Aku Aku remembered his friend.

"I remember! I traveled to Equestria and befriended a healer name Meadowbrook. I remember the good times we had. And I remember my brother using a spell to take my memories away. All those memories of my good friend... Gone." Aku Aku realized in sadness, heartbroken as his friends looked at him with sympathy.

“Crikey!…” Crash uttered, feeling incredibly sorry for his friend.

"Well dude, she and her other pillar friends sent themselves along with a dark pony known as the Pony of Shadows into the limbo in order to seal that bad dude. But me, my bros managed to bring them back, save Stygian by freeing him from the Pony of Shadows, so Mage Meadow is still alive and young." Mikey explained with a smile on his face, making Aku Aku smile with great happiness and relief.

"Thank you so much, my friend. After we take care of Cortex and his plan, I going back to Equestria to see Mage Meadowbrook again." Aku Aku said in gratitude.

"That's a great to hear, Aku Aku! Glad we could help!" Pinkie said cheerfully.

"Hey everyone, look! A baby fox!" Sonata called out as she pointed out as the heroes and voodoo mask saw a baby fox hopping and sniffing between brushes.

"Aww!!!" The ninja trio and Crash gushed in unison.

"Aren't you cute." Sonata doted at the baby fox as they then saw it hop towards a strange looking brush and sniff it. Only Sonata was able to notice something off, seeing a clawed hand raise from inside the brush, it seemed hesitant, but it grabbed the baby fox and showed its true form to everyone, catching them completely off guard. It as a big bipedal fox with pink-purple parrot feathers on its head and back. The fox then noticed the heroes and put down the baby fox, with it running away. The fox plucked a feather from its back, with another growing back in its place, and threw that feather at them, only for that projectile to be blocked by Sonata's tonfas. She noticed it was stuck in her one of her tonfas as saw how sharp it was. "I'll get this titan." Sonata simply said as she charged forward to the fox/parrot hybrid mutant, leaving Mikey, Pinkie, Crash and Aku Aku confused.

"Dudes, what just happened?" Mikey asked, completely lost.

"No clue, but look at Sonata!" Pinkie pointed out as everyone saw Sonata dodging those feather throws and put her palm on the titan's forehead, causing a blinding light to shine out of both of them, making the other heroes and Aku Aku close their eyes. And when the light faded, they saw something strange, Sonata wasn't on the titan, yet the titan looked completely different. Its fur was light arctic blue, with its hands and feet moderate persian blue, its feathers and tribal markings on its wrists and ankles were brilliant cerulean, having grayish violet-colored eyes.

"Thanks for helping me snap out of it. Besides, I love the makeover you did for me, it really brings out what I am on the inside." The fox/parrot hybrid said in gratitude, looking at herself.

"No problem." Sonata replied.

"If you're wondering what I am, I'm a Snipe, a mutant half-fox, half-parrot, stealthy and deadly. But no crackers." The Snipe titan informed the heroes.

"Hmm... Ooh! You'll need a name!" Mikey said as was about to declare a name, but was cut off by Sonata.

"How about, Foxer?" Sonata suggested.

"Ooh! I love that name! I think you and I are gonna be great friends!" Foxer said in excitement.

"Same here!" Sonata agreed as she and her new friend Foxer hugged each other.

"Hey, we got to get moving. If you want to come and help, that'd be great." Mikey said.

"Please." Sonata pleaded.

"Of course, silly! What're friends for?" Foxer rhetorically asked as Mikey, Pinkie, Sonata and Crash cheered in pure joy and excitement with her joining the party to stop Dr. Cortex and save Coco.

"Hey Foxer, do you have any ideas what Cortex is doing or where he's going?" Mikey asked.

"Last I heard, he was heading to some kind of temple. Luckily, I know where that is, so let's go! Oh, and Sonata, you can ride on me if you want." Foxer said to Sonata, who seemed unsure of that.

"Really? Are you sure you're okay with that?" Sonata asked.

"Of course! Friends help each other out!" Foxer answered with a toothy smile, as Sonata got onto her neck.

"Okay, but if you're not feeling comfortable, I'll get off and travel by foot." Sonata said to her friend.

"No problem." Foxer agreed as she and all of her new friends continued on their journey.

Meanwhile at the temple Foxer mentioned, Dr. Cortex and Uka Uka were draining a strange liquid with Coco still captured.

"That's right. Drain every last drop." Dr. Cortex said with a smile.

"You think your going to win, Cortex? Crash and my new friends are on their way right now!" Coco told Dr. Cortex.

"Oh, but they'll be in for a surprise once they see what I cooked up." Dr. Cortex responded with a devious grin before noticing Uka Uka staring into space. "What's wrong now, Uka Uka?”

"That turtle, and those two girls. Something about them is familiar, and I'm sensing mutants joining their side, especially that scaredy-Snipe." Uka Uka answered, much to Cortex's shock.

"What?! They’re turning our mutants on us?! How is that possible?!" Dr. Cortex asked, still caught off guard by the discovery.

"It's just as I thought, those three have Equestrian magic within them, a kind of mojo I hoped to never sense again." Uka Uka responded, clearly not happy about it.

"That's the magic Aku Aku went all weird on." Coco noticed.

"My brother didn't tell you? Oh, that's right. He couldn't after what I did!" Uka Uka mocked with a laugh, making Coco mad.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO OUR FRIEND?!" Coco demanded, wanting to know what happened.

"A thousand years ago, my brother was good friends with an Equestrian Healer named Mage Meadowbrook. After he defeated me, I preformed a spell on him that robbed him of all memories about his friend." Uka Uka explained, making Coco's eyes shrink in horror. "Imagine, all those good times they had, every happy days and fun adventures... Gone!" Uka Uka mocked more as Coco lunged at Uka Uka, only for her restraints to stop her.

"Now that's truly villainous, making someone forget precious memories, much less your own brother. No wonder you’re the mask of evil, Uka Uka." Dr. Cortex said, truly impressed with Uka Uka's vile deed.

"Unfortunately, if Equestrian magic is here, my feeble brother has a chance to regain all of the memories that I erased about Equestria, if he hasn't remembered already." Uka Uka said, realizing the danger of the situation.

"You better hope I stay locked, cause I'm going make you pay!" Coco said, completely furious.

"Try it and I'll wipe your memories." Uka Uka threatened, making Coco's expression of rage turn to fear.

"No more witty comments? Good." Uka Uka said, but thought about Sonata again. "But that blue girl... Something's telling me she's from Equestria."

"Seriously? She's a pony?" Dr. Cortex deadpanned.

"No. I have a feeling that she's one of those three sirens that were banished by Mage Meadowbrook, Starswirl and those other pillars. Even with the plan I gave them, they still failed." Uka Uka responded, much to Cortex's confusion.

"Then why is she fighting against... Wait, three? Where are the other two?" Cortex stopped himself, asking a different question.

"Probably back in the world they were banished into." Uka Uka guessed.

"Back to my first question: Why is she fighting against us?" Dr. Cortex asked.

"Beats me. But one thing is for sure, I won't tolerate betrayal. So let's make sure she suffers painfully." Uka Uka told Cortex in a malicious tone.

"Of course, Uka Uka. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Dr. Cortex agreed with a maniacal laugh.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Uka Uka joined in with his own evil laugh.

Back with the heroes, they came across tree bridges, cliff ledges, tree branches and bouncing mushrooms. They then reached a tunnel below a tree trunk, guarded by a group of Ratnicians.

"We can take them easily." Mikey said, cockily as he was about to head in there, but was blocked by Crash's Bokken Sword.

"Let's have a little fun with them. Foxer, when we get them in the air, nail them. Pinkie, when I start spinning, throw a smoke bomb." Crash said as he told everyone his plan, before jumping down to the Ratnicians.

"It's the bandicoot!" A Ratnician said

"Well, mates, here comes the bandicoot swornado." Crash said as he began his swornado attack, spinning like a twister, hitting ratnicians and signaling Pinkie to throw a smoke bomb, obscuring all of the ratnicians' line of sight. Then the ninja trio and Crash knocked the ratnicians into the air, signaling Foxer to throw his feathers at them. Foxer aimed carefully at them, and threw two handfuls of sharp feathers at all of the ratnicians, knocking them out cold from the sharp feather explosions.

"Dude! Awesome aiming!" Mikey complimented.

"They must be as sharp as kunai knives!" Pinkie added.

"Thanks. I'm not a Snipe for nothing. C'mon! The path to the temple is through this tunnel." Foxer informed them as Sonata climbed off of her neck and got back onto the ground.

"You can head back to Crash's place if you want. This is our fight, after all." Sonata offered to Foxer.

"Really? And leave my best buds behind?! No way! I'm coming with ya, and that's that! Besides, I don't think I'll get controlled by Cortex anytime soon." Foxer said with a confidant smile.

"YAY!!! I was hoping you'd say that!" Sonata cheered.

"And I think Foxer is right, because, Sonata, whatever you did that freed her seems to cast some sort of mojo protection that keeps her from being controlled by dark mojo." Aku Aku explained.

"That's awesome, dudes!" Mikey said in excitement.

"Yippee!!!" Pinkie cheerfully agreed.

"C'mon mates, let's go." Crash declared as he and his friends went into the tunnel, heading into the next area.

To be continued...
> Episode 3: A Zero's Journey
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The group kept moving towards the temple, until Crash decided to ask Foxer a question. "Foxer, any idea how many mutants Cortex has so far?" He asked as Foxer answered with a shrug. "Beats me. I think the least amount would be hundreds or thousands." She simply said, shocking the ninja trio.

"WHAT?!" Mikey, Pinkie and Sonata yelled in complete surprise.

"I don't even remember how I got like this. The earliest thing I remember is a cage, the sound of evil laughter, and a surge of electricity painfully going through my body." Foxer explained, starting to stress herself out, but Sonata petted Foxer to calm her down.

"It's okay, Foxer, just try to calm down." Sonata suggested soothingly, as Foxer took a deep breath in, then out.

"Thanks Sonata. I needed that." Foxer said in gratitude.

"I do my best to help my friends." Sonata responded.

"So much for that idea." Crash deadpanned, making the group stopped as the path ahead was riddled with traps.

"Guys, I don't think we should go forward with Foxer. We better find another path." Mikey suggested.

"We can't. This is the quickest way." Aku Aku told them, as Foxer noticed herself glowing a bit.

"Hey, guys, I think I have an idea." Foxer said, catching their attention.

"Ooh! What is your idea?" Pinkie asked in excitement as she was answered by a light covering Foxer, making the heroes and Aku Aku close their eyes. And when the light faded, in Foxer's place, was a light arctic blue Snipe mask with moderate persian blue feathers on the top of it.

"Whoa! You turned into a mask?!" Sonata asked in surprise.

"Yepperoonie! That way I can go with you through areas I normally can't." Foxer explained as Sonata strapped the mask over her collapsed bike and went to catch up to the others, finding them looking at an empty area.

"What's wrong, guys?" Sonata asked.

"Something not right here." Pinkie said in suspicion.

"Yeah, no guards to stop us." Mikey agreed.

"Ain't like Cortex to do that." Crash added.

"Maybe he thinks those booby traps will take us out. But still, there could be more guards further ahead." Sonata guessed.

"Hmm... You do have a point." Aku Aku admitted.

"Either way, we can handle it easily." Mikey said, as Crash looked at the archway and got an idea. "Sonata, get onto that archway with Foxer and be ready to play sniper."

"You got it!" Sonata responded with a thumbs-up as she jumped onto the archway, but realized something, there wasn't enough room for both her and Foxer! "Shoot! This isn't good!"

"There's a way we can still help them." Foxer said.

"Really? What?" Sonata asked.

"Put my mask on your face." Foxer answered, making Sonata hesitant, but she decided to trust the Snipe mask.

"Here goes nothing." Sonata said as she put Foxer's mask on her face, causing her to stumble and whimper in pain. Then she screamed into the sky with the mask having its jaw open as if it was howling, a bright light covering her and the mask. When the light died, what stood in Sonata's place was a combination of a siren and a snipe, with a strange mark on her right cheek.

Meanwhile, Crash and the others walked into the area, pretending they're none the wiser.

"Okay guys, looks like the coast is clear." Crash acted.

"You heard the bandicoot. Let's go!" Mikey declared.

"Wahoo!" Pinkie cheered.

"Oh, guess again, you dumb idiots." A Ratnician said as Ratnicians swarmed over the heroes with Spikes, Snipes, and a Goar. 

Crash looked ahead and saw the path blocked with boulders. "We need to jack the Goar to clear the way ahead."

"Don't worry! I got your back!" A mysterious voice said as feather darts shaped like tonfas rained down on the Goar, completely stunning it.

"That's new." Pinkie noted as she threw down a smoke bomb, temporary blinding the mutant titans and Ratnicians and rushed through the crowd and jacked the Goar.

"Mikey, jack one of the Spikes. I'll handle the Ratnicians. Sonata, give us cover." Crash ordered.

"Somehow, I'm not surprised you knew it was me, Crash." The voice admitted as the sniper was indeed indeed Sonata, but it was also Foxer, for it was Foxata!

"Here, have some tonfa feather darts!" Foxata taunted as she threw more feather darts, taking out the Ratnicians that were gonna attack any of her friends from behind. A Ratnician tried to sneak up behind Foxata, only for Crash to use his swornardrang to stop him.

"Mess with me all you want, but not my friends." Crash said as he caught his Bokken Sword perfectly.

Mikey had jacked a Spike and knocked out the Snipes in the area. "We've all got each other's backs dudes." Mikey-Spike said.

"Yes indeedy!" Pinkie-Goar agreed.

"Come on, we're almost through this!" Aku Aku told his friends as one of Cortex's Spybot was broadcasting the whole beatdown.

"Just when I thought that rodent couldn't be anymore infuriating, he had to make new friends." Dr. Cortex growled.

"Haha! Way to go, guys!" Coco cheered.

"Hmm... Those three clearly aren't slackers when it comes to battle. We'll need to be more weary of them." Uka Uka advised as the Spybot was destroyed by one of Foxata's feather darts.

"I thought I smelled a rat." Foxata scoffed.

"A shame Donnie or Twilight ain't with us. Then we could turn these scraped Spybots into something useful." Mikey-Spike said.

"They're the brainy one like my sister, right?" Crash asked as he beated up the last Ratnician.

"Exactamundo!" Mikey-Spike answered with a smile.

"Glad we managed to take care of them and each other." Foxata said in relief as she jumped down to her friends, leaving the heroes and Aku Aku in awe at her new form.

"You two can combine powers!!! Making you a siren and a Snipe! That's so awesome!!!!!" Pinkie squealed in absolute excitement.

"That's right, Pink Pie!" Foxata confirmed as she grabbed both sides of her face, making a light erupt. And when it faded, showed Sonata with the Snipe mask in its place.

"That was rush of energy." Sonata said, feeling the adrenaline go away.

"Looks like it took a lot out of Foxer." Mikey-Spike pointed out as he and the others saw the eyes of Foxer's mask closed, meaning she was sound asleep, and making Sonata guilty about waking her up.

"Ah, don't sweat it. Aku Aku, can you teleporting her back to the house for some sleep?" Crash asked as Aku Aku tried to teleport Foxer, but it proved to be impossible. "I can’t, because for some reason, Foxer seems to have a really deep connection to Sonata. So I’m guessing she’ll be able to rest in her mask form." Aku Aku said as Sonata carefully strapped the mask over her collapsed bike, with Pinkie-Goar started clearing the path.

"Alright everyone! Road’s been cleaned of any obstacles!" Pinkie-Goar said as everyone walked ahead and saw Cortex's vehicle in the air, with a strange hose vacuum seemed to be draining something from the top of the temple.

"That’s Cortex’s mechanical blimp! But what’s it doing?" Sonata asked.

"Guys, it’s as I feared, Cortex and Uka Uka are stealing all of the mojo from the temple." Aku Aku dreaded.

"You think there might be a link between this and the enslaved mutants we've been fighting?" Pinkie-Goar asked.

"There must be." Aku Aku confirmed.

"How much mojo is in that temple?" Crash asked his voodoo mask friend.

"There’s an enormous treasure of mojo contained within. It’s like the Texas Mojo Repository in there!" Aku Aku answered.

"Whoa dude, that’s a whole lotta mojo." Mikey admitted.

"Hurry everyone!" Aku Aku urged as everyone rushed ahead, but noticed the Goar that Pinkie unjacked was following them.

"What's the matter, girl? Don't you want to go to your friends." Pinkie asked as the Goar shook her head 'No' and nuzzled the pink party ninja. "Aww… Can she stay with us?" Pinkie asked as the Goar transformed into a brilliant rose colored Goar mask with light ceriseish gray tusks.

"Judging by that transformation into a mask, I guess so." Aku Aku answered, much to Pinkie's happiness.

"YIPPEE!!!" Pinkie cheered as they all went inside the temple.

Meanwhile, Cortex was getting his secret weapon ready.

"Just a bit more modifications and it'll be ready." Cortex said.

"Hmm… It seems that wretched bandicoot, his friends and my brother have arrived at the temple." Uka Uka informed.

"Good, now I can deal with them personally." Cortex said with a smile, but then Coco started laughing at the duo.

"What’s so amusing about that?!" Uka Uka asked, irritated by that.

"She just thinks that we’ll lose. But we won’t lose this time." Cortex said, unsurprised by that.

"You're gonna lose. Not just because of Crash, but my new friends fought way tougher enemies than you." Coco answered, making the evil scientist and voodoo mask confused.

"What do you mean tougher?" Dr. Cortex asked as Coco explained what the girls and turtle fought, leaving the two villains surprised.

"Oh… Okay, I admit… That’s a bit unsettling." Uka Uka admitted.

"Ninja Assassins, Alien Invaders, Corrupted Officials... This stuff sounds like something from a Saturday Morning Cartoon." Dr. Cortex scoffed.

"You don't stand a chance against them." Coco told the two bad guys.

"Physically, yes. Mentally... I am superior." Dr. Cortex boasted.

"Besides, once have have the mojo, we have hundreds of thousands of mutant soldiers, meaning they won’t stand a chance." Uka Uka said as Coco watched the villains leave. While she showed confidence, she was secretly worried for her friends.

> Episode 4: The Temple of Zoom
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The heroes walked into the temple and were in awe of the structure.

"Wow." The heroes gasped.

"That's ancient temples for you, not impressive on the outside, but amazing on the inside." Aku Aku said.

"WAHOO!!! Rainbow Dash is gonna be so jealous! This is like Daring Do!" Pinkie squealed in excitement

"Oh, yeah. It is." Mikey agreed.

"Daring Do?" Crash asked.

"Popular book series back home." Sonata explained.

"As much as I would like to hear more about this, we need to get across this spike pit." Aku Aku informed them.

"Indeedy! And how?" Pinkie rhetorically asked.

"By swinging on those ropes!" Mikey answered as he jumped onto the swinging ropes and got to the other side.

Pinkie secured the straps to her Goar mask and swung across after Mikey. "Alright Sonata, your turn."

Sonata took a deep breath, and breathed out. "Okay. Here goes!" Sonata said as she managed to swing across to the other side.

"Not bad, mates. But here's how it's done. Extreme Rope Swinging!" Crash cried out as he swung across the ropes, doing backflips and frontflips, and landed, doing a handstand. "Ta-Da!"

Everyone held up score cards of a perfect 10 in response to that. "You earned it, buddy." Mikey said.

"Wait a minute! How or where did you get those?" Aku Aku asked, baffled on how they had them in the first place.

"I had them in my hair." Pinkie simply answered.

"But how-?" Aku Aku tried to ask once more, but was cut off by Sonata. "Don't question it. It's just Pinkie Pie being Pinkie Pie."

"That's what I really like about her! Her unpredictability!" An unknown cheery female voice said, making Crash and the ninja trio jump in surprise. "Don't be afraid. I'm on your side." The voice assured, making everyone look at Pinkie's Goar mask, which seemed to be the source.

"*GASP!* You can talk?!" Pinkie asked in surprise.

"Yessiree bob! And guys, thanks for freeing my big brother. But what's his name again? Pumbear?" The mask assumed, making the heroes and Aku Aku shocked.

"BROTHER?!" They asked, caught completely off guard by that.

"What? You didn't think mutant titans have families too?" The mask asked.

"Huh. That's actually a reaaaally good point." Pinkie admitted.

"I didn't even know you guys had genders. Eh, no offense Foxer." Mikey said.

"None taken, Mikey." Foxer responded.

"This means we're gonna be awesome friends, Grihoga!" Pinkie said, excited by a new ally.

"Ooh! I like that name! From now on, call me Grihoga!" Grihoga said in the same tone Pinie was in.

"We should look around to find away forward. Foxer, you and Grihoga will stay here and stand guard." Crash told the titan mutants.

"Can do." Foxer confirmed as the masks transformed into their real selfs, but Grihoga's form was different, her fur was brilliant rose light, her tusks were light ceriseish gray, and had brilliant cerulean blue tribal tattoos on her fur.

"Pretty." Pinkie awed.

"The moment you two see trouble, hold out and until we can get back." Crash informed them as he and his friends climbed the left steps, when Mikey said something interesting. "Hey Crash, your pretty good at being a leader."

"Really, mate? I never noticed that." Crash said, bashfully.

"Yeah! You're like us, but you have the skills of a team leader!" Pinkie added.

"Pinkie's right! You're like Leo, Sunset, Twilight, Karai and Adagio!" Sonata agreed.

"They have a point, Crash. You are leader material." Aku Aku said to his bandicoot friend.

"I just think if we work together and watch each other's back, we can win." Crash said with words of encouragement as everyone smiled at the fact he was right. While they were walking ahead, they heard Ratnicians complaining. "What is with this floor? It's coated in some slippery substance." A Ratnician whined when Pinkie got an idea as she put on her roller skates. "If this floor's slippery, we'll need to go on wheels." Pinkie declared as Sonata folded her bike out and Mikey brought out his skateboard. "You gonna be okay, Crash? We can't take passengers."

"Don't worry guys, at times, in order to get through downhill slopes, I let Crash use me as a board." Aku Aku informed them.

"Wait? You're still okay with that?" Crash asked in concern for his friend.

"Of course, Crash. It's not like sliding my face on the ground can hurt me. But like before, I won't be able to protect you." Aku Aku reminded the bandicoot hero.

"It's fine, Aku Aku. We've got the advantage." Crash said.

"Let's have a demolition derby." Mikey declared as everyone grabbed their weapons as they got started on riding towards the minions.

"Hey! Ratnicians! Over here!" Sonata called out, drawing the Ratnicians' attention to them as Sonata zoomed by, whacking a few of them with her tonfa and Mikey rolled by on his skateboard, bashing a few more.

"Come on, guys. We have the numbers. Why is it they're beating us?" A Ratnician complained.

"Because we have speed." Pinkie answered as she attacked a Ratnician with the sickle of her weapon and kicked another with her foot in a roller skate. "Not to mention we can get around this slippery surface." Pinkie added as Crash slid across and swung his Bokken Sword. "I am so glad I ask you guys to train me with this." Crash said in gratitude.

Meanwhile, at the center of the temple, a few of the Ratnicians bolted out straight towards Foxer and Grihoga.

"Ready to knock out some Ratnicians, Grihoga?" Foxer asked her fellow titan.

"You got it, Foxer!" Grihoga replied as the two mutant allies attacked the Ratnicians.

Meanwhile, in the left sanctuary, Crash and friends could hear the beating and cries for "Mother!" from where they were.

"Come on, guys. I don't think we want to see that." Crash suggested.

"I see a tunnel nearby." Pinkie said, pointing to the open mouth of the monkey statue.

"But it looks like we won't be able to get there." Aku Aku noticed when Mikey spotted something red and swung across to it from the dangling rope.

"Dude, what's this gizmo?" Mikey wondered as he touched the machine, making it spread out and glow, causing Spikes to appear near the others. "My fault. That's on me."

"Pinkie, give me a smokescreen." Crash requested as Pinkie threw down a smoke bomb, followed by Crash spinning in the cloud and launching himself into the air. "DUST STORM ROCKET!" Crash yelled out a special move as he slammed his Bokken Sword on a Spike, stunning it. "Mikey, jack it."

"You got it, bro!" Mikey responded as he jumped onto the stunned Spike and jacked it. "Here's Spike!" Mikey-Spike called out in a creepy voice as he summoned spikes from the ground, knocking out nearby Ratnicians and destroying a strange barricade, revealing another one of those machines that Mikey touched. "Uh, I'll just hang back."

Sonata touched it, making a Snipe appear. "Now that's my bad."

"Actually, I think it's a good thing you did that." Aku Aku said, confusing the heroes.

"Huh?" They asked, not understanding what he meant.

"You see those red and white circles?" Aku Aku pointed out as the heroes then saw the targets on the walls. "If we can destroy those targets, we can get into that tunnel."

Mikey-Spike grabbed the Snipe and threw it to the ground, making his friends a bit scared. "Easy on the brutality, Mikey. They're just as much victims as Coco." Crash reminded his friend, making Mikey snap out of it. "Gah! Sorry dude, guess the Spike's instincts are gettin' to me. Now it's all you, Pinkie." Mikey-Spike said, letting his pink party friend have the honors.

"You got it, Mikey!" Pinkie said with a smile as she jumped onto the Snipe and jacked it. "Time to play some Feather Darts!" Pinkie-Snipe declared as she threw her feather darts, destroying both targets, making the tongue of the monkey statue move forward, creating a path into the tunnel.

"Weird, but effective." Sonata admitted as everyone climbed up and found the slope covered with the same slippery substance.

"Dudes, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Mikey asked in excitement as the others nodded their heads, knowing what needs to be done. "COWABUNGA!!!" Mikey shouted out, quoting his 80's counterpart and his friend, Mondo Gecko as he got onto his skateboard, Pinkie into her roller skates, Sonata onto her collapsable bike, and Crash onto Aku Aku, and rid down the slope.

"This is awesome!" Pinkie cheered.

"I've never felt so alive!" Sonata said as she felt the adrenaline flow through her veins.

"YAHOO!!!" Crash whooped as he and his friends rode on curves and went straight to the end of the tunnel, finding Foxer and Grihoga mopping up the unconscious Ratnicians, with all of them bruised, missing teeth, and broken glasses.

"Wow, I'm glad we didn't see this beat down." Sonata admitted as the others nodded in agreement.

"Oh! You guys came just in time, 'cause we took out these mutant minions while you were in there." Foxer said.

"Ooh! That green mouth statue has a bridge to it now!" Grihoga pointed out as everyone as a staircase rise, connecting the center and the green monkey statue.

"That's convenient." Mikey noted as the four friends stepped over the Ratnicians, trying not to step on them out of pity. The right sanctuary was a bit strange. They saw a bowl pit, filled with slime and a Ratnician was in the center of it.

"Sonata, why don't you seat this one out. I don't think putting your bike in there is a smart idea." Crash suggested.

"Sure. You guys have fun and I'll mop up any strays with the others." Sonata said in agreement.

"Ready for some fun, Sonata?" Foxer asked her friend.

"Am I ever, buddy!" Sonata answered with a smile.

"Oh my gosh! This is gonna be so much fun!" Grihoga said in excitement with a different voice, sounding like a vampire teenage girl.

In the right sanctuary, Crash, Pinkie, and Mikey had fun beating the tar out of the Ratnicians and shredding on their wheels.

"This is so awesome!" Mikey said in excitement.

"BOOYAKASHA!!!" Pinkie yelled out with the turtles' battle cry.

"Woohoo!" Crash cheered as he and the party ninjas rode down slopes, swung across ropes and grinded on rails, only to make it to the end of the tunnel, getting back to the center and meeting up with the others.

"Whatever you guys did gave us the path to go on ahead." Sonata said as she and everyone else went forward, finding themselves outside and Cortex still draining the Mojo, with the evil scientist watching them rush up to him.

"Crash, you and your new... *Growl* and traitorous... Friends are gullible fools. You’ve all walked right into my trap. Now, I'll have you, your new friends, and the Mojo." Dr. Cortex boasted.

"Cortex, why do you keep doing stuff like this?!" Coco asked.

"Well, actually it's pretty fun. You should try it. You know riding around in huge rumbling machines and what not? Very stimulating." Dr. Cortex answered, confusing the heroes and the mutant titans.

"Huh?" They asked.

"Uka Uka taught me a new process called 'Mojo Mutations'. I will use the stolen mojo to create a huge army of loyal mutants! Not rejects like you guys!" Dr. Cortex said, upsetting Coco and the other girls.

"You jerk." Coco replied.

"But best of all, I will this army to construct a mighty robot. The largest doomsday device I ever built! I will smash Wumpa Island and take over the world! And I shall call this robot.. the Doominator!" Dr. Cortex declared, scaring only Crash.

"Oh no!" Crash gasped.

"Dude... Seriously?" Mikey asked, totally unimpressed.

"The name sucks!" Coco called out.

"Something's telling me he'll get along well with Boxter Stackman." Pinkie noted as back in their world, Baxter Stockman let out a sneeze all of a sudden.

"Because of the names of machines or moves that have 'doom' in it?" Sonata guessed.

"Yes." Pinkie confirmed.

"Cortex! Deal with Crash, the turtle, girls, traitors and my pathetic brother. I'll take the mojo and bandicoot female back to our base." Uka Uka said as the airship retracted the suction hose and the carrier. Then a strange titan mutan that looked both organic and cybernetic, with qualities of a yak, octopus and duck. And after that, Cortex landed on one of the high grounds behind him.

"Oh boy. We got trouble!" Pinkie dreaded as Sonata was in absolute shock of the state the titan was in, greatly angering her. "CORTEX!!!" Sonata roared, making Dr. Cortex flinch at the scream. "Look at what you did to this mutant!"

"I turned him into the perfect weapon for combat." Dr. Cortex simply said, not caring about Sonata's opinion, angering her further.

"Wh-Pe-We... You..." Sonata growled in absolute anger, emitting a red aura, and gaining her pony ears and siren wings.

"Gah!" Mikey gasped.

"Yipe!" Pinkie yelped.

"" Crash yipped as he jumped back.

"Uh... Sonata? You might wanna calm down." Foxer suggested as Sonata looked behind her and saw why Foxer asked her to, and took a deep breath, making her red aura disappeared, but retaining her wings and ears. "Thanks, Foxer." Sonata said in gratitude.

"No problem." Foxer replied with a smile.

"Guess it's time to magic up!" Pinkie declared.

"Aw yeah!" Mikey agreed as he and Pinkie went into their Crystal Ninja Guardian forms.

"Ooh!" Crash awed.

"Amazing!" Aku Aku said, astounded by their transformation.

"Sparkly and shiny! *GASP!* I got an idea!" Grihoga said in excitement as she jumped toward Pinkie, shifting into her mask form, followed by the pink party kunoichi grabbing it out of the air.

"My turn!" Pinkie said as she donned the Goar masked, causing light to erupt, with a new combination in her place. It was an anthro human-shaped Goar with pony ears, a ponytail, Pinkie's clothes and weapons, having a mark on her right cheek. "Hello everybody! Pinkoga in the house!" The new fusion said while Mikey eyed the giant-sized mutant.

"You know, I think I will call that big guy's titan kind, the Yuktopus!" Mikey declared when the Yuktopus' right cybernetic arm began to glow, making Foxer realize what's about to happen.

"Watch out for its tentacle and mojo blast!" Foxer warned.

"Don't forget the tunes, silly!" Pinkoga added as everyone jumped out of the way when the Yuktopus fired his mojo blast.

"Mikey, you and me are on distraction. Sonata, marksman. Pinkie, play quarterback." Crash ordered.

"Got it! Let's go, Foxer!" Sonata said.

"Okay!" Foxer agreed as she turned into her mask form, which Sonata put on her face, transforming her into Foxata once again!

Then Pinkoga roared at the Yutopus, stunning it. "He's good for nailing down, Foxata."

"Good, I couldn't get a clean shot." Foxata responded as she threw four poison tonfa feather darts at the Yuktopus, completely stunning it. "Crash, jack it!"

"Alright!" Crash agreed as he got onto the Yuktopus, and put Aku Aku on its face, jacking it as brilliant cerulean colored tribal tattoos appeared on its body, mostly its tentacle.

"Cortex is too high, right now. Time to take out the high ground he’s on!" Pinkoga informed.

"Alright, big guy. Your gonna help us beat Cortex, then we'll set you free." Mikey told the jacked mutant.

"Not that guy! I liked that guy! As a friend…" Dr. Cortex said.

"With the way you were treating him, you don’t deserve to be his friend!" Foxata responded in anger.

"Oh, spare me the scolding." Dr. Cortex scoffed as he snapped his fingers, making Ratnicians show up. "Take care of them."

"You got it, boss!" A Ratnician said as he and the other Ratnicians began to surround the heroes, but then the Yuktopus’ back began to twitch as he started playing a bagpipe tune from the hose on his back, sending out sound waves that knocked out the Ratnicians, and destroyed one of the pillars that Dr. Cortex was on, making him fly over to another one.

"Cortex, you may have intelligence. But I have the one thing you never had." Crash said as he got the Yuktopus ready to fire.

"And what is that?" Cortex asked.

"Friends!" Crash answered as he had the Yuktopus fire his mojo blasts and the last two pillars before Cortx could take the high ground on them, making him land on the same ground as they were. Then Pinkoga and Foxata transformed back into Pinkie Pie and Sonata. Crash and Aku Aku got off of the Yuktopus.

"You think you and your friends have won, you furry simpleton? Well, Uka Uka got away with the mojo and your sister. You’ll never find them in time. The next time you see me, Crash, I’ll be controlling a world-conquering robot. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! OHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh, I love to laugh." Dr. Cortex chuckled as he flew away with the rockets strapped on his boots.

"Come on, everyone. We're going to get Coco back." Aku Aku said.

"Yeah, let's go get her." Crash agreed.

"Everyone, we must stop them. We have to follow Cortex and find out where they've taken Coco." Aku Aku explained.

"First, we should probably stock up on supplies." Mikey said.

"Mikey's right. Me and Foxer will follow Cortex as long as we can. You guys head back to the house and stock up on food and water." Sonata informed them.

"But what are we gonna do about this big guy?" Crash asked as he motioned to the freed Yuktopus, who was confused.

"Oh, him. Leave him here, I guess. He seems okay." Aku Aku said.

"Hey, big guy. Thanks for the help. We need to leave. You going to be okay?" Pinkie asked in concern as the Yuktopus nodded that he'll be okay, waving goodbye as the heroes split up to their separate ways.

Meanhwile at Dr. Cortex's lair, he started playing the piano as Uka Uka showed up.

"Cortex, that was ridiculous and appalling! You failed to destroy Crash Bandicoot or capture his new friends!" Uka Uka said in anger.

"I don't see what the big deal is. We got away with the Mojo and Crash's sister. And you didn't tell me to capture the vermin's new pals." Dr. Cortex responded as a man, who’s face was half-man and half-machine, known as Dr. N. Gin, gave him a tea cup.

"I got away with the mojo, and the BIG DEAL is that Crash bandicoot and his friends are still alive! Cortex, I’m going to replace you." Uka Uka said, making Dr. Cortex spit the hot tea into N. Gin's face.

"Ahhhhh! Thank you, master." N. Gin said as he rubbed his right eye.

"You can't replace me. My name's on the stationery." Dr. Cortex countered, pulling out a stationery paper, as N. Gin laugh in agreement.

"That’s right, tough guy! Unless you want to bite on the stationery, you respect to master!" N. Gin said.

"It’s a really nice stationery too." A tiger mutant known as Tiny Tiger said in agreement.

"Can’t argue with that, mate." A dingo/crocodile mutant known as Dingodile agreed as well.

"Ooh, I know! Glossy." N. Gin said in glee.

"Cortex, you have never been more wrong..." Uka Uka said, confusing Dr. Cortex.

"Duh uh, thank you. Eh, What?! What do you mean?" Dr. Cortex asked as he threw his tea cup at N. Gin’s face, hurting him even more.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! Thank you again!! Hotter than the first!" N. Gin said as he laughed insanely, giving two thumbs up.

"Allow me to announce your replacement. Nina Cortex!" Uka Uka announced as A teenage girl with an “n” on her forehead showed up with two female bat mutant minions, for it was Dr. Cortex’s niece, Nina Cortex! That announcement made Dr. Cortex spit what little tea he had left in his mouth in N. Gin's face, much to his dismay. "Ah, come on. He didn't even have a cup."

"Take out the trash, girls." Nina order as the two minions tied up and left Dr. Cortex hanging. "Sorry, uncle. But it's time for some young blood to lead us to victory. And now that we have Coco, we can make her build the robot."

"You won't get away with this! Crash and my friends will come for me and kick your butt!" Coco said.

"Oh, I hope Crash and others try, I really do. After all, I need a new fur coat, shell and magic artifacts. *Laughs then snort* Get to work on the Doominator! Make more mutant soldiers! I want Wumpa Island smashed flat!" Nina ordered.

"Your... hair is dumb!" Coco said, trying to come up with an insult.

"Oh shut her up!" Nina calmly ordered as a strange helmet was put on Coco, bringing her under Nina's control, when Cortex had an idea to save his skin.

"Hey, Uka Uka, I have useful information on the Siren girl." Dr. Cortex said, getting the evil mask's attention.

"What is it, Cortex?" Uka Uka asked.

"That Siren girl got all nasty when she saw my mutant. Her evil magic might still be in her." Dr. Cortex informed.

"Hmm... Then there's still a chance to get her onto our side." Uka Uka said in realization.

"That's good to hear, and from the looks of things, it'll take 5 days to finish the Doominator, 4 after today." Nina said, informing the others about how long it'll take to build the machine.

"Me and Tiny are just about to head out and oversee the material shipment." Dingodile told Nina.

"Good. Oh, and if you see Crash and his friends, make sure to kill then and capture the siren." Nina order.

"Okay, Nina." Tiny agreed.

"Righty-o, Boss." Dingodile said in agreement as well.

To be continued...
> Episode 5: The Emerald Pity
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in the trio's world, Leo and a few others waited for an hour till a portal opened up. Raph, Rainbow Dash and Applejack jumped wearing their Moo Mesa clothes.

"Any luck, Raph?" Leo asked.

"Nothing. Other helping than helping Montana and the others recapturing Bulloney and the Bull Brother after a jailbreak, they haven't seen Mikey or the others." Raph answered when another portal appeared, with Donnie, Aria and Rarity jumping out of it.

"Who knew there was so much crime in Gotham." Aria noted.

"So, did you guys find any of them?" Twilight asked.

"Darlings, please forgive us." Rarity apologized.

"Why?" Karai wondered.

"Because we couldn't find a trail of them." Donnie explained.

"What?! You gotta be kidding me!" Adagio exasperated when yet another portal opened, revealing Sunset and Fugitoid.

"We talked to the Utroms and they're willing to give us a hand." Sunset informed.

"That should help us." Leo said, glad that they were getting somewhere.

Meanwhile in the other world, Crash, Mikey, and Pinkie were gathering food and canteens of water.

"Think this is enough, dudes?" Mikey asked.

"Yep, should be plenty, mate." Crash answered.

"And I have sweet snacks in case we get peckish." Pinkie added as she ate a cupcake she pulled out of her hair.

"I still don't get how she does that. But after a while, I'm afraid to know how." Aku Aku admitted.

"Smart choice, dude. 'Cause when Donnie and Twilight tried to figure out Pinkie's logic and her Pinkie Sense, they almost went insane." Mikey explained when knock on the door caught their attention.

"Is this Crash's house?" A voice asked.

"It is, mate. Come on in." Crash answered, but when the door opened, they were surprised by who it was, it was Stalag, the Spike titan!

"Stalag! Bro! What're you doin' here?" Mikey asked.

"I was thinking about ways to repay you all and decided to join you in your mission to stop Cortex. If that is okay with you, Commander Crash." Stalag said, confusing the bandicoot hero.

"Commander?" Crash asked.

"You're the leader of this group. By default, you're the commanding officer." Stalag explained.

"Like me, Mikey, Sonata and Aku Aku said, your leader material." Pinkie reminded, making Crash bashfully rub the back of his head with a blush.

"Guys, stop. You're makin' me blush. And of course you can come mate." Crash said to Stalag, when the Spike titan glowed a bright light, and when the light faded, Stalag's fur was orange, his spikes were blonde yellow and he had pink and blue tribal marking tattoos on him.

"Whoa...! What happened to me?" Stalag asked.

"Calling it as we see it, buddy." Mikey answered, not really explaining it.

"I understand if you’re hesitant, but I assure you my allegiance isn't and will never be to Cortex." Stalag assured the others.

"Alright, big guy. You can come with." Crash confirmed.

"Thank you, Crash." Stalag said in gratitude.

"Yippee! We got a new friend!" Grihoga cheered as Aku Aku teleported himself, the heroes and the titans to where the heroes last left off.

"I see Sonata and Foxer!" Pinkie pointed out, as Sonata was doing her nails 'til she saw the others coming.

"Bad news, everyone. I lost sight of Cortex 20 minutes ago." Sonata informed.

"My fault. I wasn't fast enough." Foxer apologized.

"It's okay dudes, we'll find him." Mikey said, assuring Sonata and Foxer.

"And we have a new friend joining us!" Pinkie added as Sonata and Foxer noticed Stalag.

"Stalag, what are you doing here?" Sonata asked.

"I wanted to help you all stop Cortex, Sonata." Stalag answered.

"That's very sweet of you, big guy. Glad to have you on Team Bandicoot." Sonata said.

"Glad to be on Team Bandicoot." Stalag agreed, before Aku Aku stopped them.

"Guys, we got a slope to get down." Aku Aku informed as everyone noticed the slope in the tree in front of them.

"Yeah, boi! Thanks for the wait, Sonata!" Mikey cheered as he grabbed Stalag and rode down on his skateboard. "WHOA!!!" Stalag yelped.

"Guess he can't go mask yet." Foxer noticed as she and Grihoga turned into their mask forms.

"This is going to be fun!" Pinkie cheered as she Grihoga and jumped down after Mikey.

"Last one down is a rotten egg!" Crash said as he Aku Aku and rode down after Pinkie.

"Oh! I'm not gonna be a rotten egg! It's on!" Sonata declaring, getting into the competition now as she grabbed Foxer and began riding on her bike after the others. While all four friends rode down the slopes, they started dodging mines that were placed by Cortex's forces.

"HEY GUYS, WE GOT MINES UP AHEAD!" Mikey informed as he jumped over a mine, with Stalag whimpering in fright.

"JUST MEANS WE'RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK! NICE JOB, SONATA!" Crash said in gratitude as he did some tricks.

"THANKS, CRASH!" Sonata responded before Stalag spotted something.

"INCOMING RAMP!!!" Stalag shouted as they reached a ramp, and rode off of it, with Mikey being the first to land.

"Victory, the name is Mikey." Mikey boasted as Sonata managed to land safely on her bike.

"Second place ain't bad." Sonata admitted as Crash was the next one to stop.

"You can't win 'em all, mate." Crash advised as Pinkie finished at the back of the pack.

"Aw! I'm last! Which means I'm a rotten egg. But it was fun!" Pinkie whined before cheerfully saying that, before Stalag noticed something.

"Uh... Guys?" Stalag uttered, making everyone looked around and saw huge machinery ripping up trees and scattering animals, making the heroes look heartbroken.

"What in the name of Wumpa?!" Grihoga gasped.

"This is so wrong." Sonata uttered.

"Boy, I'm glad Fluttershy isn't here." Pinkie said with a sigh of relief.

"Why would that be?" Aku Aku asked.

"Because she would either faint out of sadness, or go ballistic on the guy or guys that did this." Mikey explained, scaring the Wumpa Island inhabitants.

"Guess you weren't kiddin' when you said Fluttershy liked nature and animals." Crash admitted.

"Not at all." Pinkie confirmed, when Foxer noticed Sonata's angry face.

"Sonata? You alright?" Foxer asked.

"No. I'm not. Cortex will pay for this!" Sonata yelled as she started glowing red faintly, but faded when Crash comforted her. "He will, but we need to keep a level head. We give in to anger, we'll be giving him satisfaction in breaking us." Crash warned the siren, making her sigh.

"You're right, we should keep going." Sonata agreed as the heroes and mutant titans saw a camp filled with koala mutant minions.

"Hmm... I think I'll call those dudes, Koo-alas!" Mikey declared, but more quietly this time.

"Those guys don't look too smart." Pinkie noticed.

"You're right. They look like a bunch of slack-jaw yokels." Mikey agreed.

"Probably won't need Foxer and the others." Sonata scoffed, making Mikey and Pinike Pie turn to Sonata.

"You feeling okay, Sonata?" Mikey asked.

"Whaddya mean?" Sonata responded in confusion.

"You're acting a bit more like... Raph." Pinkie pointed out, making Sonata sigh once more.

"Sorry about that. It's just that... Cortex... Just... Fires up this ninja siren!" Sonata explained as everyone else could definitely see the fire in her eyes.

"Aw, don't let him get to you, Sonata." Pinkie advised.

"Yeah, girl. Just think about how fun it'll be to give him a black eye." Mikey told Sonata, cheering her up.

"Yeah... You're right! I should think about having fun!" Sonata agreed, getting out of her gloom.

"Atta girl!" Foxer cheered.

"Yippee!" Grihoga whooped.

"Glad that's all worked out." Stalag said in relief.

"Alright, let's get back to work, guys." Crash declared.

"Agreed, we need to take out those Koo-alas and find out where Cortex is." Aku Aku said in agreement as everyone hid, readying themselves to attack.

"Boss lady wants us to speed up the machinery." The first Koo-ala said.

"We're already got them going at full speed." The second Koo-ala responded when a smoke bomb appeared and broke, obscuring the minions’ field of vision, then Crash jumped into the cloud and whacked the two Koo-alas unconscious.

"It's the Bandicoot! Get him!" A third Koo-ala ordered.

"Righty-o, mate!" The fourth Koo-ala responded, before the rest of the Koo-alas were knocked out by the ninja trio and their mutant titan allies.

“Not much of a challenge with these.” Mikey said before one Koo-ala regained consciousness and burped up a stink. “Dude, nasty! But a good one.” Mikey replied before knocking out that minion with his nunchucks.

“That seemed to be the last one.” Sonata noticed.

“Hey guys, when was the last time any of you saw a boulder roll uphill?” Pinkie asked, confusing the others.

“What?” Everyone else asked as they saw a rolling boulder coming straight towards them.

“Incomin’ boulder!” Crash cried out, but when the boulder arrived at them, it unrolled into a Amadillo/Rhinoceros/Lion hybrid mutant.

“Whoa! A rolling rhino! That’s it! The RhinoRoller!” Mikey declared as the RhinoRoller curled into a ball and rolled towards the heroes.

“Get clear!” Crash yelled as everyone scattered except Pinkie who somehow got into a matador costume.

"Ole!" Pinkie said.

"What the?! How did you?!" Stalag asked, baffled by Pinkie's logic.

"Don’t question it!" Aku Aku answered as the RhinoRoller kept its attention on Pinkie, getting ready to charge.

"Guys, I got a plan. Attack that thing after it misses Pinkie." Crash said.

"Okay!" Sonata agreed as she and Foxer nodded to each other, while the Rhinoroller rolled towards Pinkie, only to miss again.

"Ole!" Pinkie said again, and when the Rhinoroller stopped, Foxata struck it with her feathers. It didn't stun it, but it was effective. "Toro, toro." Pinkie taunted when Grihoga headbutted it with her tusks stunning it.

"Pinkie, jack it!" Mikey told Pinkie as she rushed onto it and jacked it.

"Ole!" Pinkie said once more, before a bright light shined, covering the RhinoRoller. And when the light vanished, the RhinoRoller’s armor was emerald-green, fur was blonde, horns were brown, skin was tan-orange, and had marigold-orange tribal tattoos on its skin and armor.

"Thank y’all kindly fed helpin’ me. *GASP!* Well slap my saddles, Ah can talk!" The RhinoRoller said in astonishment, making Sonata giggle.

"He's talking like Applejack." Sonata noticed, catching the titan's attention.

"Uh, excuse me? Ah’m a gal." The RhinoRoller informed.

"Sorry, my bad." Sonata apologized.

"It's fine. Honest mistake." The RhinoRoller responded, forgiving the siren ninja.

"Ooh! How would you like the name Armalion?" Pinkie asked as the armored titan seemed to have agreed.

"Huh, Ah think Ah do like it." Armalion answered.

"Not bad, Pinkie." Mikey complimented.

"Thank you." Pinkie said in gratitude.

"There’s only one problem, how are we all going to get through that?" Crash asked, pointing to the curved slopeway.

“Maybe build a carriage pulled by a RhinoRoller?” Sonata suggested.

“Not a bad idea. Everyone, spread out and find building materials. Nails, hammers, rope, anything.” Crash said as everyone split up. And later, the heroes and titans got the materials they needed and built the carriage.

Meanwhile at a hideout, Tiny and Dingodile were discussing their job.

“All I'm saying is that we get rid of the union breaks and we'll be able to work faster.” Dingodile argued.

"But we need to be ready in case they come here. Besides, we're just trying to do our job. Plus we can get in twouble with the Wowkew Union if we deny the men theiw scheduled bweaks." Tiny countered.

"Alright, point taken. What if we..." Dingo was interrupted by the alarm. "What in blazes?!"

"This is bad! We got people tryin' to bweak in!" Tiny panicked. On a moniter screen was Crash and company on screen with a perfectly built carriage pulled by Armalion.

"Now there's something you don't see everyday." Dingodile admitted.

"What is that? Some sort of pony or horse carriage?" Tiny asked.

"More like a RhinoRoller carriage! Look, mate!" Dingodile pointed out as the two henchmen saw the RhinoRoller pull the carriage.

"Not another one!" Tiny yelped.

"Send out the Rhinoroller Riders!" Dingodile ordered.

Meanwhile, with the heroes and RhinoRoller, they were going the the slope and dodging saws.

"How're things in the driver's seat, Pinkie?" Crash asked.

"Awesome! It’s like I’m on a clown ball in the circus!" Pinkie cheered in excitement before Aku Aku noticed something. "Hang on guys, we got company!" Aku Aku said as everyone saw Koo-alas riding Rhinoroller towards them.

"Looks like we're playing pirates. Pinkie, keep us steady. Everyone else, prepare to repeal all boarders." Crash said as he drew his Bokkun sword.

"Got it, dude!" Mikey agreed.

"Ready to do some sniping, Foxer?" Sonata asked her titan friend.

"Do you have to ask?" Foxer answered with a rhetorical question as Sonata got to the top of the carriage and donned her Snipe mask, becoming Foxata once more. She climbed to the back of the carriage and started nailing Koo-alas off Rhinorollers as Foxata noticed the Rhinorollers willingly leaving when their riders were off. Unfortunately, she was unable to stop a few from coming aboard. "Boys, a few coming your way." Foxata warned the boys.

"Aw yeah, boi!" Mikey cheered.

"Get ready!" Crash said as he and the ninja turtle started whacking Koo-alas off the carriage until one burped in Crash's face, blurring his vision. “I can't see!"

"Crash, Master Splinter showed me once how to fight without sight. Use your other senses." Mikey advised Crash while he was still fighting, as Crash calmed down and used his hearing.

The moment he heard something, Crash swung to his left, knocking out a Koo-ala. “Gotcha, mate!"

Then Koo-alas started retreating when they realized they were outmatched. When they stopped to examine any damage, Crash's vision started returning.

"You okay, Crash?" Aku Aku asked in concern.

"My eyes are alright, now." Crash answered.

"Hold on tight, y’all, ‘cause we’re gonna head off ramps! YEEHAW!!!" Armalion whooped as everyone held on for a rough landing. After landing safely, everyone got out to see if there's any trouble.

"It looks like we're in the clear." Sonata said

"That was awesome!!!" Pinkie cheered.

"Glad Ah could help, y’all." Armalion said as she turned into a tan-orange RhinoRoller mask.

"Dudes, I think we found our way up." Mikey said as he pointed to a machine with its door open.

"We'll leave the carriage here and double back for it when we find a clue to my sister." Crash said.

"Dudes, let's call it Roadroller." Mikey declared, much to Pinkie's excitement.

"Nice! It sounds like we’ll roll all over our enemies! MUDA!" Pinkie cried out with a punch into the air.

"Wish we had a flag for it... And some comfort." Sonata added.

"Aku Aku And I can head back home and get some stuff for the Roadroller. Why don't you three scout ahead?" Crash suggested.

"You got it, dude!" Mikey agreed.

"Ooh! A scouting party!" Pinkie cheered.

"You can count on us, Crash." Sonata said with confidence.

"I know I can." Crash said as he saw everyone else going their separate ways to scout the area, before Aku Aku teleported himself and the bandicoot hero back to their house.

> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

While Mikey and the girls were scouting the area…

“I can't believe these guys don't have any security built in case we snuck in.” Sonata said in disbelief.

“Either Cortex is underestimating us big time, or one of his henchmen is in charge here and really dumb.” Mikey guessed.

“He wouldn't be the first to underestimate us.” Pinkie pointed out.

“HELP!” A voice cried out, making the trio spot a Dingo/Crocodile hybrid dangling on a cliff.

“Hey! Are you alright, big guy?” Sonata asked in concern.

“Yeah, I need help! The ground collapsed on me as I was walking! I'm losing my grip!” The mutant hybrid panicked.

“We'll help you up. Hang on!” Mikey punned.

“Not funny!” The mutant replied, unamused.

“Sorry, poor choice of words.” Mikey apologized as the trio struggled to lift him up.

“Aaaaannnddd… Up you go!” Pinkie said as she and her friends got Dingodile lifted up and away from the cliff.

“Thanks, mates. I owe you one.” The hybrid said in gratitude.

“No problem. Anything broken?” Mikey asked.

“Maybe only me pride… Nah, probably not. Any other than that, I’m perfectly fine.” The mutant answered.

“I'm Pinkie Pie.” Pinkie introduced herself.

“I'm Michelangelo, but call me Mikey.” Mikey added.

“And I'm Sonata Dusk.” Sonata finished.

“Odd names, but I heard of odder things. Me name’s Dingodile.” Dingodile introduced himself.

“Gah! I was totally gonna call him Dingodile!” Mikey complained.

“No you weren’t, silly!” Pinkie countered.

“Hey, maybe you can help us. We’re trying to find a fast path through here.” Sonata requested.

“There's a shortcut by the waterfall that'll take you through an abandoned town. Stay out of sight of the hillbilly koalas and you'll be fine.” Dingodile answered.

“Wow! Thanks a lot!” Sonata said in gratitude as she gave Dingodile a great big hug, joined by Pinkie and Mikey, confusing the mutant.

“Wha-What are ya doing?!” Dingodile stuttered, making Pinkie giggle.

“It's called a hug. It's what friends do.” Pinkie answered.

“F-F-Friends?!” Dingodile asked in shock.

“Yeah, dude. There's no reason for us to fight.” Mikey said with a peace sign, before Dingodile found all this strange, but amazing, before his watch went off.

“Crikey! My shift is about to start again! I got go. Later!” Dingodile said.

“See you soon, Dingodile!” Sonata replied.

“What is this feelin’? I don’t understand…” Dingodile thought as he left.

“We better go, too. Crash will be back any second.” Mikey said.

“What is the difference between a crocodile and a alligator anyway?” Sonata wondered.

“I actually know, but we're in a hurry.” Pinkie said.

“You’re right!” Sonata agreed as they went back and met up with Crash, Aku Aku and the mutant titans.

“Guys, you got anything useful?” Crash asked.

“We got a path to sneak through the site.” Mikey answered.

“We should probably leave a titan with the carriage.” Sonata suggested.

“I’ll do it.” Stalag answered.

“Alright, let's get moving.” Sonata said as everyone moved through the secret path, Crash came to decision.

“Guys, I kinda forgot to tell you three about Cortex's personal lackeys.” Crash mentioned.

“Oh, who are they, dude?” Mikey asked.

“N. Gin is Cortex's machine expert. He's probably at some factory creating some of weapons we've been seeing.” Crash started.

“Such a waste of talent.” Mikey deadpanned.

“Just like Staxter Bockman.” Pinkie noted.

“Then there's Tiny Tiger, but he's about as dangerous as a mouse.” Crash continued.

“Does Cortex just mutant animals at random?” Sonata asked.

“Dunno about that, mate.” Crash answered.

“But what do you mean as dangerous as a mouse, if this guy's a tiger mutant? And why is his name 'Tiny?'” Pinkie asked.

“He's harmless. The TNT I deal with is more than him.” Crash answered.

“You’re a licensed demolition expert?” Sonata wondered.

“Not exactly, mate. I just run into TNT a lot and get stuck in situations against them.” Crash explained as the trio looked at Aku Aku with skepticism.

“He's serious. Trust me.” Aku Aku said.

“Anyhoo, about Cortex's last henchman...” Crash started.

“Who is it?!” The ninja trio asked, getting antsy from suspense.

“It's a dingo/crocodile hybrid mutant... Named Dingodile.” Crash finished, causing a dead silence in the air.

“WHAT?!” The goofy ninjas yelled out in shock.

“You guys okay?” Crash asked.

“We just helped him from falling a few minutes ago.” Mikey explained.

“He didn't seem evil. A little overweight, but not evil.” Sonata added.

“You what?!” Aku Aku gasped.

“No way! But then again, we did have a retired Dingodile as an ally in finding the Quantum Masks.” Crash remembered.

“Oh, right. I remember that.” Aku Aku agreed.

“Multiversal Counterpart?” Mikey asked, unimpressed.

“Yeah, how'd you know?” Crash asked in confusing.

“Happened to me and my bros.” Mikey explained.

“Anyone else wondering how our scream didn't alert any security?” Pinkie pointed out, causing another dead silence.

“Me and the other mutant titans found the security system and shut it down.” Foxer answered.

“That's good news.” Crash said in relief, before Sonata noticed something. “Yeah, but there is a really strange mutant up ahead.” Sonata pointed out as everyone saw a giant black elephant mutant titan with spikes all over it.

“Whoa! That's a big mutant!” Pinkie gasped.

“Hmm... I think I'll call that big guy's titan species, the Shellephant!” Mikey declared, as the aforementioned Shellephant gave out a sad trumpet.

“We gotta find a way to get him outta there!” Sonata said.

“We will. But let's go big. Sonata, wanna go Rhinoroller?” Crash asked.

“Hmm... Maybe I should let Pinkie have the honors.” Sonata suggested, making Pinkie gasp in excitement.

“REALLY?!” Pinkie asked.

"Why not? Since Armalion's like Applejack, and Applejack's one of your best friends." Sonata explained with a smile.

"YAY ME!" Pinkie cheered.

"But... How about you wait till we're down there fighting Koo-alas." Mikey pointed out, making Sonata and Crash realize that this transformation could be explosive.

"Mikey's right." Crash agreed.

"Yeah, might wanna wait on that." Sonata added.

"Aww..." Pinkie pouted.

Meanwhile with the Koo-alas...

"Man, wasn't easy wrangling this thing, but we got 'er." A Koo-ala said, before Crash performed his Swornardrang move to knock out a handful of them. "Oi! Mates, it's that bandicoot and his buddies!"

"Okay, Pinkie. Go time!" Mikey told Pinkie, exciting her.

"Yahoo! I always wanted to say this." Pinkie said as she put on the RhinoRoller mask, causing a bright light to shine around her. And when it faded, in Pinkie's place was a anthro human-sized RhinoRoller, with blonde hair on her head. "AH'M GOIN' TA ROLL ALL OVER YA!!!" The combination, Pinkion, roared as she turned into a rolling boulder, knocking out multiple Koo-alas. "MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA!!!"

Meanwhile, Sonata was picking the lock on the cage as the carnage continued behind her. "Easy, girl. You're going to be free." Sonata assured while a Koo-ala was sneaking up behind her with a chicken leg in his hand, before he was knocked unconscious by a feather dart, courtesy of Foxer the Snipe. "I don't think so." Foxer taunted, making Sonata smiled as she was glad to have great friends, before finally cracking the lock.

"Got it. BE FREE!" Sonata told the Shellephant, before the large titan stood up, and used its strength... Somehow making the cage tear apart and fly away from each other, as the Shellephant let out a loud trumpet, thrashing around in an absolute rage!

"Incoming!" Foxer called out, helping Sonata dodge the blow.

"Okay, might not have thought that through." Sonata admitted.

"I can handle this." Pinkie assured as she rolled into her ball form and charged into the Shellephant. "MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA!!!" Pinkion shouted as the Shellephant caught her at first, but Pinkion still kept spinning. "WWRRRRYYYYYYYY!!! MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA!!!" Pinkion roared as the blow connected, sending the Shellephant back a bit and Pinkion into the air above it, falling down. "MUDA!!!!!" Pinkion finished as she hit the Shellephant right on the noggin, stunning it completely, allowing Crash to jack it quickly before it snapped out of it.

"Everyone okay?" Crash asked as Pinkion took off the RhinoRoller mask, turning back into Pinkie.

"Ya know, I think I had enough rolling for one day." Pinkie said in dizziness.

"I think that's a smart choice..." Grihoga agreed as she let out an exasperated exhale, falling onto her back.

"Hey guys, look what I found." Mikey called out, showing the others that he found a shed full of TNT.

"Are ya thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?" Crash asked his friends with a mischievious smile.

"Already five steps way ahead of you." Pinkie answered as she and Sonata started grabbing a lot of TNT sticks.

"Hmm... Something tells me we're gonna need more than TNT, but it could work." Aku Aku said, unsure of the plan. But while they were working, Mikey's medallion, Pinkie's geode, and Sonata's throat glowed, shooting the Shellephant with the rainbow laser. After that, Aku Aku and Crash got off of it.

"Finally free from that scientist's control. Wait... What the fudge?! I'm talkin'! Alright!" The Shellephant cheered with a fist pump.

"Well, big guy. Feeling any better?" Sonata asked.

"Much better now thanks to you. But that Dr. Cortex... Where's that little twerp?" Shellephant asked, ready to kick some Cortex butt.

"There's no time for that now, because we could your help." Aku Aku responded.

"Hmm, how would you like the name, Crabusk?" Mikey asked.

"Huh, Crab and Tusk... I like that. Oh, and by the way siren girl, I'm a guy." Crabusk told Sonata.

"Okay, that's twice this happened today." Sonata realized with a facepalm.

Meanwhile at the hideout, Dingodile rushed up to Tiny. "Sorry I'm late. I had a little incident near a cliff and..."

"Forget about that! Crash and his fwiends got the Shewwephant to join their side!" Tiny said, catching the hybrid's attention.

"WHAT?!" Dingodile gasped as he looked at the monitor, seeing that it was true. The Shellephant titan has sided with the heroes.

"Not only that, they stole a bunch of dynamite from the nearby shed." Tiny added as Dingodile stared in sorrow at Mikey and the girls, the very people who were kind to him. Tiny noticed his sadness. "Huh? Something wrong with you, Dingo?" Tiny asked, making Dingodile snap out of it.

"Oi... Nothing. It's nothing." Dingodile answered.

"Alright. Once they arrive, maybe we can discuss things. Reach some kind of agreement." Tiny said, hoping things wouldn't have to get ugly.

"And if they continue to destroy everything?" Dingodile asked with worry.

"...Then we're gonna have to eat their faces." Tiny sadly said as he left.

And when Dingodile was sure he was alone, he fell to his knees. "What am I gonna do…?"

> Episode 7: The Blizzard of Claws
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The heroes met up with Stalag, who had a feeling they would need his help, and continued further, discovering the Koo-alas harvesting the lava in the volcano.

"What the heck are they doing?" Mikey asked.

"Collecting lava for some reason." Aku Aku supposed.

“Starting to wish Donnie was here. He'd figure out what they're doing.” Mikey admitted.

“Hey guys, take a look at the mutants up ahead. They look like Tokka.” Pinkie pointed out.

“Who?” Crash and Aku Aku asked in unison.

“A giant Alien Fire Turtle we met. Long story.” Mikey explained as he and the two kunoichis ran ahead of Crash.

“And you guys were skeptical about the TNT?” Crash asked.

“Honestly, yeah.” Sonata answered.

"OOOH! Let's use Stalag and Grihoga’s masks." Pinkie said in excitement.

“Might as well. I don't want my Bokken Sword to catch on fire.” Crash admitted as he putted on the Spike mask, turning into a human-sized and human-shaped Spike with orange fur, brown spikes and blue tribal tattoos, becoming Starash and Pinkie put on the Goar mask, becoming Pinkoga.

“It's the intruders. Get em!” A Koo-ala ordered as they charged.

"RRRRROOOOOOAAAAARRRRRR!!!" Pinkoga roared.

"Yipe!!!" The Koo-alas yipped as Pinkoga’s roar made all of the minions scared stiff while Sonata and Mikey handled the them as Starash matched strength with the magma turtle.

"I don’t wanna fight you, mate. But you’re leaving me no choice." Starash said as he made spikes erupt from the ground to to stun it.

"Sonata jack the Magmadon. I'll handle the Koo-alas." Mikey said.

"Got it! Wait, Magmadon?" Sonata asked.

"I know, cool species name, right?" Mikey responded, feeling proud, making Sonata roll her eyes as she jacked the Magmadon. But then a bright light shined over it, and when it faded, its skin was brilliant amber, black underbelly, its shell, arms outside the elbow and legs outside the knees were vivid crimson with the cracks being brilliant yellow, and had ruby-red tribal tattoos on its body.

"Wha...? What happened?" The Magmadon asked before letting out a gasp.

"Less chatting, more helping. These guys are relentless and a lot tougher than the Ratnicians." Starash informed.

"Let me help!" The Magmadon said as she stomped the ground, causing a fault line with magma leaking to rush forward, hitting and knocking the Koo-alas fighting Starash. Then everyone hurried through a tunnel and blocked the entrance.

"That should buy us some time." Starash panted before taking off the mask, turning back to Crash.

"Guys, you ain't going to believe what they're using to mine the lava." Mikey said in disbelief as looked to where Mikey was pointing, and they saw giant spider-shaped machines drilling into the ground.

"Wow." Everyone uttered in awe.

"We don't have enough dynamite to take that thing out." Mikey pointed out as Crash looked at the machine and saw the legs were on the rock formations, not in the lava.

"Guys, I think I got an idea." Crash said, getting the others' attention.

"Lay it on us, boss." Mikey responded.

"Girls, you two set the TNT at two of the harvester's support and blow it up. It'll fall into the lava and burn to ash. Mikey, take the Titans and defend the girls from more Magmadon." Crash instructed.

"What about you?" Sonata asked as everyone heard a drill digging through the rock blockage behind them.

"Me and Crabusk will hold them off as long as we can." Crash answered.

"This is going to be fun." Crabusk said as everyone else went on ahead, leaving Crash, Aku Aku and Crabusk alone to hold off the incoming Koo-alas.

"You ready, mate?" Crash asked his friend.

"You bet! 'Cause I have a secret weapon!" Crabusk mentioned as he blew fire from his trunk at the Koo-alas.

"Okay, now Cortex is just going overkill." Crash deadpanned.

"Don't worry, I can only do that flamethrowing trick once in a while, so I won't be able to do that again from a few minutes to an hour, depending how long I use my trunk for that." Crabusk reassured Crash as he kepted whacking Koo-alas.

"Well, that's fortunate. But give me a hand here." Crash requested as Crabusk was being able to swat them away till they start roping him up.

"Little help here?" Crabusk asked as shurikins cut the ropes as Mikey came with a lot of Magmadons.

"Need some help, Crash?" Mikey asked with a smile.

"What? Mikey? How did you…?" Aku Aku said, confused by what happpened.

"You can thank me for that." A voice answered as Crash, Aku Aku and Crabusk looked over to that amber Magmadon titan they freed. "ATTACK!" The Magmadon ordered as she charged passed Crash to help, while the bandicoot hero shrugged his shoulders and charged alongside.

Meanwhile, Pinkie and Sonata had finished setting up the dynamite.

"Alright Pinkie, give me the lighter and let's light this rocket!" Sonata said in excitement, while Pinkie frowned in confusion.

"I thought you had the lighter." Pinkie said.

"What? But I thought you had the lighter." Sonata countered.

"My dad took away my lighter after I accidentally blew up his car with fireworks." Pinkie explained.

"Well, then how are we going to light the dynamite?!" Sonata yelled out in frustration as a magma bubble popped and a small ember lit the fuse.

"That'll work." The kunoichis said in unison.

"Uh… Girls?" Foxer said, getting their attention.

"Huh?" They asked in unison.

"We’ll need to get outta here, pronto!" Armalion said.

"Yeah, like NOW!!!" Grihoga yelled, making the two remember the situation as everyone bolted for safety. When the dynamite off, the machine fell into the lava as everyone cheered.

"Great job, everyone." The Magmadon said.

"Hey! Can we call you Solava?" Pinkie asked.

"Hmm… Somehow, that suits me perfectly. Thank you." Solava answered, liking her new name, when suddenly, Tiny and a visibly upset Dingodile appeared, as everyone except Dingodile cower at Tiny's angry expression.

"Crash, I really am crossed with you! We're just trying to do our job, and you and your fwiends go and cause all this chaos! Sorry, but we're gonna have to eat your faces." Tiny said.

"No! Not my face!" Crash panicked, while the sound of Tiny's voice made the ninja trio snicker.

"Yeah, I'm really sorry about that. I wish some kind of reconsideration is possible here." Tiny apologized, but was interrupted as hearing that voice again made the three goofballs lose it, howling in laughter.

"His voice!" Pinkie laughed.

"Is so high!" Mikey added in laughter.

"How does that work?!" Sonata asked, laughing at the shrill voice, while with an angry growl, Tiny ignored the laughter.

"And frankly, I'm still mad about the time you and your siblings raced against Cortex's team and Possum at Von Clutch's derby race amusement park. You didn't even invite us! That really hurt!" Tiny said as he flicked his pointer finger on Crash's nose.

"Gah!" Crash yelped, making the ninja trio stop laughing as Tiny turned to walk away, but stopped, seeing Dingodile not moving.

"Dingo?" Tiny asked, before Dingodile roared into the sky.

"I can't take it anymore!" Dingodile shouted.

"Take what?" Tiny replied in confusion.

"The abuse, the beatings, the evil! For what?!" Dingodile yelled in anger as he turned his Water pistol and Flamethrower pistol at Tiny.

"Dingodile!" Sonata gasped

"Forget about Cortex! I'm followin' me own orders now!" Dingodile declared.

"WHAT?! But you know how mad Dr. Cortex and Uka Uka get about stuff like this!" Tiny panicked as he tried to warn the hybrid mutant.

"I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT!!!" Dingodile shouted, having enough of his torture as he fired at Tiny. "These blokes treated me better than Cortex, Nina, or anyone else... Sorry Crash, that includes you a bit."

"It's alright, was nothing personal." Crash said, accepting Dingodile's apology as Tiny grabbed an axe and charged at the group.

"It won't be wike the wast time I used a weapon, Crash!" Tiny warned the bandicoot hero as everyone attacked Tiny only to be swatted away like they were nothing.

"Guess he wasn't kidding!" Crash admitted.

"Hey! I see another one of those red gizmos! But it's across the hot red liquid!" Pinkie said.

"I can help you get across the lava. Pinkie, get on my shell!" Solava told the pink party girl.

"Okay!" Pinkie said as she climbed aboard, but not without Tiny noticing.

"You're mine!" Tiny shouted as he was about to charge, but was blocked by Crabusk.

"I don’t think so, sucker!" Crabusk said as he punched Tiny away into a wall.

"Hey, come on! Quit it!" Tiny whined.

"Pinkie, whatever your planning, hurry. We'll cover you." Sonata said.

Meanwhile, Pinkie rode in Solava’s shell as she walked through the lava without so much as a single burn, as she pressed it making a Shellephant appear.

"Guys, Bash Slide!" Pinkie called out.

"Hear that, mates? It’s go time!" Crash said.

"Get ready, Mikey!" Sonata told Mikey.

"Ya know it!" Mikey responded as Sonata climbed onto his shell and Crash launched them.

"Booyakasha!" Sonata shouted as the Shellephant was stunned and she jacked it, but Mikey launched himself towards Tiny.

"Gotcha!!!" Mikey taunted.

"Stop outsmartin’ me! It’s bad for me!" Tiny complained when Foxer noticed targets on a double-door gate.

"I’ll help open the gate!" Foxer said as she threw four feather darts at once, destroying the targets on the gate, opening it, forcing Tiny to run for it only for Crash and the others to chase after him into cornering him.

"Stop! No more please! You’re all just too stupendous and fantabulous! Honestly, you guys are just this awesome." Tiny admitted as he lifted Crash’s left arm, lifting him.

"Uh-huh." Crash agreed.

"I'll tell all of you where to go. Nina took Coco to the factory on the beach." Tiny told them.

"Who?" The ninja trio wondered in confusion.

"Nina? What are you talking about?" Crash asked.

"Nina? You do mean Dr. Cortex, don’t you?" Aku Aku said to Tiny, wanting answers.

"No, Nina. Uka Uka and her got rid of Cortex. They were tired of Cortex failing all the time." Tiny explained.

"This isn’t good, guys. Nina’s a lot smarter than Cortex ever could be." Aku Aku noted.

"Who's Nina?" Pinkie asked.

"Cortex's niece. She's more clever and evil than her uncle." Aku Aku answered.

"We better get back to the carriage and head out." Crash suggested.

"I'm coming with you guys." Dingodile said.

"Wait-What?!" Aku Aku stuttered.

"Of course you can come!" Pinkie said with a smile.

"Besides, we already have a former baddie on our side." Mikey added as he pointed to Sonata, who bashfully waved and nodded in agreement.

"Yeah… Welcome to the club." Sonata said with a nervous laugh.

"Thanks. And to show I'm serious, I'll direct us to a nearby dynamite shed." Dingodile replied.

"WHOO-HOO!" The girls cheered.

"One last thing, you guys have four days to stop the Doominator." Tiny told them.

"Four days? A lot can happen during that time." Sonata responded.

"After we go to the shed, I'll take us back to the carriage, then take us and the Roadroller to N. Sanity Beach." Aku Aku said.

And an hour later, everyone was loading up the TNT onto the newly painted Roadroller.

"Hey guys, I found a flag to put on the carriage for decoration." Crash said as he showed a Jolly Roger pirates flag.

"Nah! I got a real flag with me!" Pinkie responded as she pulled out a flag from her hair, the symbol being the combination of a heart-shaped hoof, a turtle shell, and a paw print that looked like a "C."

"Alright. That works better." Crash admitted.

"Wha?! Where-How?!" Dingodile stuttered.

"Don't question it!" All of the mutant titans told Dingodile, who just shrugged his shoulders and strapped his Blow Blaster to the carriage.

"That should be everything." Pinkie said.

"That's good everyone. I'll take us all there now. Get ready, guys." Aku Aku said as he teleported himself, all of his friends, including Dingodile and the Roadroller to N. Sanity Beach.

Back in Equestria, at Hayseed Swamp, Mage Meadowbrook was doing some cleaning when something reflects the sunlight into her eyes "What?" She wondered as she searched for the source of reflection, finding a strange amulet shaped like a mask. "Aku Aku." Meadowbrook said in sadness as she remembered the good times she had with her friend, before the amulet glowed a bright color. And when the light vanished, she looked around her to see a blue mask sleeping. "Lani-Loli?!"

Lani-Loli shook his head, waking up to see the Pillar of Healing. "Meadowbrook? Meadowbrook! You're alive!" The Quantum Mask of Space said in joy as he went to the earth pony mare.

"Well, Ah have been trapped in the limbo for a thousand years with mah friends. But if y’all are here and the Quantum Masks are back, then that means…" Meadowbrook realized before Lani Loli noticed something, making him gasp. What Meadowbrook saw was a large tear in the air leading into stars and space.

"I-Is that a q-q-q-quantum rift?!" Lani-Loli panicked as he started taking deep breaths in and out to calm himself, only to fail.

"Lani-Loli, relax. The others are close by, right?" Meadowbrook asked as she help calm Lani-Loli.

"Luckily for us, yes they are. But I’m sensing Akano in… *Gulp!* Dimension X! Anyway, I’m going to find the source of these rifts, so me and my siblings can keep them shut. But it’s great seeing you again, it really made me feel less panicked." Lani Loli admitted, making Meadowbrook giggle at that.

"It was great seeing you too, Lani-Loli. It’s great to see some friends every once in a while." Meadowbrook said as the Quantum Mask of Space went into the rift, before getting upset about missing her friend.

Meanwhile in Crash's world, he and his friends were teleported to N. Sanity Beach.

"So why is it called N. Sanity Beach, Crash?" Sonata asked.

"Actually, I don’t… know…" Crash trailed off as he saw how far they were from the factory. 10:05-10:20
"NO! IT CAN'T BE! DANG YOU! DANG YOU ALL TO THE UNDERWORLD!" Crash whined as everyone laughed and clapped at his performance.

"A+ acting, Crash." Mikey said.

"That was hilarious, Crash!" Pinkie added.

"Yeah! I couldn’t stop laughing!" Sonata agreed.

"That was so funny!" Foxer said as she was laughing like a hyena.0:05-0:20

Crash sprung to his feet and bowed in admiration. "Thank you, everyone. You've been a wonderful audience."

"Not a bad performance, mate. Classic." Dingodile said.

"Come on, Astronaut Taylor. Let's set up a campsite." Pinkie suggested.

"Yeah, we'll attack the factory in the morning." Mikey added.

"Yeah, *Yawn…!* good idea. Feeling pretty tired." Grihoga yawned.

"Feelin’ plum tuckered out myself." Armalion agreed.

"I guess we could all use some sleep." Solava admitted.

Soon after the Titans fell asleep, Crash and his friends started eating by the fire.

"Beautiful night." Mikey said.

"Yeah, kinda wish the others were here. And not just because I miss everyone." Sonata admitted.

"Yeah… Me too." Pinkie agreed.

"Sounds like you miss your friends and families, mates." Dingodile noticed.

"Yeah, but it's also the fact that we're seriously under prepared." Mikey added.

"I gotta admit, it doesn't look good. Even with the Titans, we don't have much help." Crash admitted.

"Do not let despair weaken your strength, everyone." A familiar voice advised as the spirit of Master Splinter appeared behind them.

"Master Splinter!" Mikey and Pinkie Pie gasped.

"Michelangelo and Pinkie Pie, it is good to see you both again." Splinter said.

"Master Splinter." Sonata awed.

"And you too, Sonata." Splinter added, making her smile.

"So you’re Hamato Yoshi, also known as Splinter." Aku Aku said.

"Indeed. I have heard of you as well, Aku Aku." Splinter responded as Crash approached Splinter with his Bokken Sword in its sheath in his hands and a shamed expression on his face.

"This belongs to your clan, Splinter. Not with me." Crash said.

"No, Crash Bandicoot. You deserved it when you decided to help one of my sons and his friends. You’re capable of being a leader like Leonardo. And I admit, that act of yours was quite amusing." Splinter admitted as everyone chuckled at the memory, and Crash gaining his trademark smile.

"Thank you." Crash said in gratitude.

"Sensei, why are you here exactly?" Mikey asked.

"I came to tell you all not to lose faith. While the task ahead of you is dangerous and that you are not at full strength, you have enough heart to win against the evil ahead of you." Splinter explained.

"Heehee… Thanks, sensei. We needed that encouragement." Pinkie admitted.

"No doubt about that." Sonata agreed.

"Good. Oh, one other thing before I go. Be careful. Unfriendly eyes spy on you as we speak." Splinter warned them as Dingodile rubbed his eyes.

"Me eyes aren’t playing tricks, are they? I’m really seeing a ghost?" Dingodile asked in surprise.

"Yes, you are, Dingo." Sonata answered.

"You must be Dingodile. You have my gratitude for helping my son and his friends. And I assure you, I mean you no harm." Splinter thanked in reassurance, calming the hybrid mutant.

"Thanks, I needed that." Dingodile said with a sigh of relief.

"Until we meet again, my son, my students and my friends." Splinter said his farewell, disappearing before the heroes, voodoo mask and reformed villain heard the sounds of monkeys.

"That didn't sound friendly." Mikey noticed.

"Wake up the Titans. We make for the factory now." Crash said.

But after the titans were waken up, everyone smelled something foul.

"Dude! Who cut the cheese? What's that's smell?" Mikey asked as everyone plugged their nose before a green bomb exploded in front of them.

"AMBUSH!" Sonata shouted before noticing the ripple in the water. "What’s that in the water?" She wondered before a monkey like creature jumped out of a bush and latched onto Sonata.

Then a splash occurred, revealing a orca/elephant hybrid titan jumping out of the water. Then the heroes saw a fox hoping bellow something, but when it stopped, the being above it let loose a green gas cloud from the rear end, knocking out the baby fox, revealing the culprit to be a vulture/skunk hybrid titan.

"ANOTHER AMBUSH!!!" Foxer shouted.

"STALAG, GIVE A SPIKE BARRIER! SONATA, TAKE CRABUSK AND TAKE OUT THAT STINKY ARTILLERY!" Crash ordered.

"Right!" Stalag acknowledged as he created a barrier around the campsite while Sonata rushed out.

"Get off me!" Sonata yelled as she got the monkey minion off of her.

The monkey decided to attack once more, only to be sucked into Dingodile's Blow Blaster.

"Thought I'd give you a hand." Dingodile said with a crocodile smile.

"Thanks, Dingo." Sonata thanked the hybrid as another monkey minion showed up.

"I'm an evil monkey!" The monkey minion shouted when Sonata was attacked from behind by the vulture/skunk titan.

Dingodile fired his water gun, its force stunning the creature, leaving Sonata confused.

"What? You think an ordinary water gun would be dangerous." Dingodile quipped

"Nevermind, I'll jack it." Sonata said as she got onto the mutant titan, jacking it. But when she did, a bright light covered the titan. When it faded, the titan's purple fur was cyan, its white stripe was a rainbow of brilliant amaranth, brilliant vermilion, pale light grayish olive, moderate harlequin, moderate cerulean and moderate purple, its hands were white with light violet claws, its feet were brown, and its beak was yellow.

"Ugh... Anyone got the number of the train that hit me? Wait... I can talk?! AWESOME!" The titan cheered.

"Huh, guess you're on our side now." Dingodile noticed as he blasted the monkey minions out of his Blow Blaster.

"Hey, thanks for snapping me out of it. If you wanna know what I am, I'm a Stench, half vulture, half skunk, but all awesome!" The Stench titan explained, making Sonata giggle.

"You're just like Rainbow Dash. Think you can help us?" Sonata asked.

"You kidding?! Of course I will! This is gonna be awesome!" The Stench titan declared with a fist pump.

Meanwhile, Crash and company were standing their ground well.

"Pinkie. Put Solava on." Crash told Pinkie.

"You got it!" Pinkie agreed with Solava giving a nod as she turned into her mask form, allowing Pinkie to don it, transforming into a mutant turtle like Mikey, except there were volcanic rocks on the arms and legs, and she had a shell like Slash's. "Hope you apes are ready for Pinkava!" Pinkava shouted as she swung the sickle of her weapon into the ground, causing a fault line with exploding magma leaking out of it, knocking out monkey minions left and right. But then she felt her shell getting squirted at by one of the orca/elephant titans, who seemed a bit more slim from the others.

"A Whalelphant...probably not a good combo." Mikey dreaded for the mutant titan.

"Why is that? And did you just come up with that name?" Aku Aku asked.

"Yeah and a whale is a marine mammal." Mikey answered.

"Well mate, that kind of whale is an orca!" Crash pointed out.

"Mikey! Get ready to jack it!" Pinkava said as she did an elbow drop on the Whalephant titan, stunning it.

"Got it, dudette!" Mikey confirmed as he got onto the titan and jack it, but then a light covered the mutant titan. When it faded, the black on the Whalephant's head and tale was now moderate indigo with the white all over the body, lower jaw and eyeshadows becoming light sapphire bluish gray, its nails becoming moderate purple, and gained amethyst violet tribal tattoos on the titan's whitish body.

"Oh... Being controlled... Was the WORST, POSSIBLE, THING! Wait, I have a voice! Oh, simply marvelous!" The Whalephant titan dreaded, before becoming happy that she can speak.

"Hey! That Whalephant talks just like Rarity!" Pinkava noted, making the Whalephant notice the others.

"Thank you very much for freeing me from control of that dastardly Nina, darling." The Whalephant said in gratitude as she did a little curtsy bow.

"Hey, how would you like the name, Orciamond?" Pinkava asked.

"Ooh! I love it! Makes me sounds like a diamond!" Orciamond agreed with excitement.

"Attack!" A monkey ordered as he and his allies charged.

"Allow me to take care of these ruffians!" Orciamond offered as she shot bursts of water out of her blowhole at the monkeys, soaking them wet, with some heavy damage to boot.

"Doom Monkeys, retreat!!!" The Doom Monkey ordered as he and the others started to run away, only to go faster by Sonata throwing her kunai, and Dingodile sniping them

"And stay out!" Sonata told the retreating Doom Monkey as she, Dingodile and their new friend came back, making everyone else noticed them. "Meet out new friend who happens to be a Stench."

Pinkava took off the mask, turning back to Pinkie Pie. "Wow! We're getting a lot of friends here, aren't we? How about we name you, Skunture?" Pinkie asked.

"Yeah! That name sounds awesome!" Skunture answered in excitement, when Crash got an idea.

"Skunture, do you know the way to the factory?" Crash asked.

"Yeah, but if you want fast, the quickest way is through the Doom Monkey village. If you don't mind the Planet of the Apes vibe." Skunture answered, hinting the ninja trio about her need for speed, before shocking them that she knows about that.

"What?! You guys have those kinds of movies too?!" Pinkie asked in complete surprise.

"It's a classic franchise." Crash answered.

"Wow!!!" Mikey, Pinkie and Sonata awed in amazement.

"Can we discuss this later?" Crash asked, snapping them out of it.

"Right, sorry. My bad." Mikey apologized as everyone got on the Roadroller carriage and headed out.

"Anyone else worried about being enslaved?" Sonata asked in concern.

"I'm sure all other kinds of mutant titans are, Sonata." Foxer answered in a "matter of fact" tone.

"Good point." Sonata admitted.

"But yeah, I might've seen it enough to be freaked." Crash added, shivering from the experiences.

"Told you it wasn't a smart idea to watch it for three days straight." Aku Aku told the bandicoot with a smug smile.

"Don't worry, mate. I'll watch your back." Dingodile said, holding up his water pistols.

"I'll help Dingodile with keeping an eye out for enemies." Sonata added.

"Really? Alright." Dingodile said, accepting the help.

"Thanks." Sonata responded in gratitude while unknown to anyone, there was a Spybot was monitoring their progress.

Meanwhile at the factory...

"Oh great... They know the location of the factory, and Dingodile's teamed up with Crash and the others." Nina deadpanned.

"Doesn't matter. We're ahead of schedule and my plan to get the Siren on our side is coming along nicely." Uka Uka said.

"You're right, Uka Uka. Because from the look of things, just the mere thought of mutants being turned into slaves can send Sonata into a fit of rage." Nina noticed.

"Which means, the more loyal mutants we enslave, the angrier she'll get, and the more likely the dark magic will take over her." Uka Uka realized, before being interrupted by N. Gin.

"Does that mean Hawaiian Shirt Day is cancelled at the factory?" The cyborg asked, making Nina and Uka Uka give unsure look and decide to discuss in private later.

"Nah, keep it on schedule. The Company Picnic is... Debatable." Nina answered, with a bit of hesitation on that last word.

"Oh! And I better warn the Doom Monkeys about the bandicoot's arrival with his delicious mutant friends!" N. Gin realized as he ran off.

"I seriously think that dimwit cyborg only has half a brain." Uka Uka deadpanned.

"I'm seriously more concerned by which term he means 'Delicious'." Nina added with a shiver, while even though Coco was currently under their control, she heard everything.

"Oh... I hope N. Gin doesn't eat me. Hurry Crash, Mikey, Pinkie and Sonata!" Coco thought, concerned about her brother and friends.

To be continued...
> Episode 9: Operation Overboard
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Dimension X, Leo and the others were discussing the problem with the Utroms.

"Bishop, is there any chance you tracked them to where they ended up?" Leo asked.

"I am certain they are alive. However, you cannot go to where they are." Bishop answered, angering some of the heroes.

"WHAT?!" Raph, Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Casey shouted in unison.

"We tracked their dimensional pathway through several Quarantine Dimensions." Rook said.

"Quarantine?" Donnie wondered in confusion.

"There are several dimensions and Earths that are strictly off-limits to dimensional travelers due to high level dangers." Queen explained.

"Like what?" Raph asked with skepticism.

"Anything from freezing to death instantly to cannibalistic maniacs." Pawn answered, scaring some of the heroes, especially Fluttershy.

"EEP!!!" Fluttershy yelped in fear.

"Fortunately, you came at a unique time. Akano, they're in here!" Bishop called out, making the turtles, rainbooms, dazzlings and their allies turned to their left, only to see a floating purple mask.

"What the?!" Sunset gasped.

"Wait a minute, that must be Akano." Twilight asumed.

"Tur... tles... Rain... Booms... Daz... zlings... Follow." Akano simply said, when a quantum rift opened, revealing Lani-Loli.

"Akano! There you are!" Lani-Loli said in excitement.

"Now Lani-Loli, don't be rude to the children." A female voice advised as the source came through the rift, revealing to be a yellow and white mask, seeming to have a sundial as a part of her.

"Oh, sorry about that Kapuna-Wa. It's just I'm always like this when I'm panicked." Lani-Loli apologized.

"But we're all glad to know that Meadowbrook is still alive, thanks to being in the limbo for a thousand years, brother." A male voice added as he was revealed to be a mask that was green on the upper half, and turquoise on the lower half.

"Yeah, no kidding about that, Ika-Ika! No wonder none of us have sensed them, because they were in the limbo, a place where none of us can enter." Lani-Loli agreed, before Ika-Ika turned upside down, closing his eyes and opening another pair, letting out a depressed sigh.

"It must be great to have someplace that we can't get to." Ika-Ika said in an unmotivated tone.

"Huh?" All of the heroes asked in confusion, before Ika-Ika turned back right-side up.

"Oh, don't mind grumpy gus. He's always a downer." Ika-Ika joked before turning back upside down. "Yeah, don't mind me. I don't matter. Nothing matters." Ika-Ika said in depression before turning back right-side up.

"Back up a bit. You guys know Meadowbrook?" Leo asked in confusion.

"Yeah, she's a friend of ours we thought we lost a long time ago." Lani-Loli said in relief.

"Thank you." Akano said in gratitude as Karai noticed something.

"Not much of a talker, are you Akano?" Karai asked.

"...No." Akano simply answered.

"Short and to the point. Love this guy!" Lani-Loli said, admiring his brother's simplicity as Kapuna-Wa floated to the ninjas.

"If you're all wondering what or who we are, we're known as Quantum Masks. Lani-Loli is the Quantum Mask of Space, Ika-Ika is the Quantum Mask of Gravity, Akano is the Quantum Mask of Matter." Kapuna-Wa began introducing her brothers.

"That's right! Old dark matter himself!" Lani-Loli added, explaining Akano's powers further.

"And I'm time! I see everything! And I mean everything. You all have some strange developments in your future, your very near future! Shocking events that could change the course of your life!" Kapuna-Wa declared dramatically, scaring all of the heroes, before being cut off by her brother.

"Yeah, I'm just gonna stop you right there before you tell them how they all die!" Lani-Loli said in a panic, with that last bit left the heroes in shock.

"But I can tell you all that your friends will be coming home in a few days." Kapuna-Wa said, soothing all of the heroes' nerves.

"Really?" Leo asked, filled with hope.

"Yeah, otherwise we would be stuck taking the long route." Lani-Loli answered, as the good news made all of the heroes sigh in relief.

"You kids go home to Canterlot and wait for your friends. They'll be home soon." Kapuna-Wa said.

"Thank you, Kapuna-Wa." Leo said in gratitude as he and the other heroes went through the Utrom portal back into their dimension.

Meanwhile in Crash's world, he and his friends were spying on the Doom Monkey Village.

"Wow, it is like the movie." Mikey awed.

"Now's not the time for that, mate." Crash reminded as Pinkie and Sonata came back from recon with the siren's glowing red.

"Anyway to sneak through?" Crash asked.

"You give the bad news, where's our leftover dinner?" Sonata sarcastically asked with hissing anger.

"Seriously Sonata, please just calm down. Uh... Cupcake?" Pinkie nervously asked, holding a cupcake to Sonata, helping the siren cool down as Sonata started eating it. "There's no way to sneak pass the village that leads to the village. Worst part is they got huge mutant chained up down there." Pinkie pointed out as everyone looked over, seeing a big gorilla/scorpion hybrid mutant titan.

"That's one big monkey!" Sonata said.

"If we jack that thing, we'll be able to take them down easily." Crash said in realization.

"Dingodile, think you can handle the Doom Monkeys with Armalion?" Mikey asked.

"Sure thing, mates. We'll take care o' those missile-head blokes." Dingodile answered with confidence.

"This is gonna be one fun rodeo." Armalion agreed with excitement.

Meanwhile, the Doom Monkeys were tucking at the creature's restraints till they saw Dingodile riding on Armalion.

"Come and get some, boys!" Dingodile taunted, making the Doom Monkeys notice him.

"Unleash the fury!" A Doom Monkey ordered.

"Monkey rage!" Another Doom Monkey yelled as Dingodile started firing as the others started sneaking to the Gorrila creature, making it roared at them as it prepared to attack, with Mikey seeing what was going on with the Doom Monkeys.

"They're going bananas! No... They're going ape!" Mikey punned making everyone look unamused at the jokes, even the gorilla creature was looking unimpressed. "Et tu, Pinkie and Sonata?! That's just cold enough to make me hibernate!"

"Focus, everyone." Crash said as the gorilla creature broke its restraints and angrily pound its chest.

"Too late!" Foxer dreaded.

"Time to break out the heavy artillery. Crabusk!" Crash ordered.

"Right, Boss!" Crabusk agreed as he turned into a Shellephant mask, which Crash donned, transforming him into a human sized and shaped Shellephant/Bandicoot hybrid, becoming Ashbusk.

"Still, I don't think that Scorporilla will be easy to stun." Mikey pointed out as Ashbusk threw the Scorporilla to the ground hard and kicked it stunned.

"Here I come!" Pinkie said as she jumped onto the arm, then the shoulder, and then the head, jacking it, only for a light to erupt. And when it faded, The skin of the Scorporilla was pale light grayish olive, its fur was pale, light grayish rose, with the scales on its tail being moderate opal, and had light rose-quartz tribal tattoos on its fur.

"Ooh... What happened *Gasp!* Oh my! I didn't hurt anyone, did I? I'm so sorry!" The Scorporilla titan apologized greatly.

"Fluttershy." Mikey and Sonata said in agreement.

"Hey, we need your help right now." Pinkie requested as she pointed to an overwhelmed Dingodile.

"Wh-Who is that?" The Scorporilla titan timidly asked.

"He's a friend, Scorgomid!" Pinkie answered as Scorgomid charged to the rescue and swatted them off Dingodile.

"Sorry, distant cousins." Scorgomid apologized as she swatted them away with her tail.

"Monkey over." A Doom Monkey said in defeat as all of the Doom Monkeys fled in terror.

"I definitely don't regret switching side. Thanks, lass."  Dingodile said in gratitude.

"Oh. Uh, I didn't do much. Ooh... I hope they don't hate me..." Scorgomid whimpered.

"I'm sure they'll be fine." Mikey reassured the giant titan mutant as Ashbusk took off his mask, turning back into Crash and saw the path ahead.

"GUYS, GRAB YOUR WHEELS!" Crash said to the ninja trio.

"OKAY!" The three goofballs responded.

"What about me?" Dingodile asked.

"Scorgomid, carry Dingodile and the carriage around the mountain. We'll meet up with you later." Crash told Scorgomid, who scarcely nodded her head, and taking them with her while she leapt away. And after that, the Four Friends got ready for a friendly race.

"Ready mates?" Crash asked.

"Three..." Mikey started.

"Two..." Pinkie added.

"One..." Sonata continued.

"GO!!!" The four heroes shouted in unison as they were off!

Crash and his friends rode the slopes through the mountain and discovered toxic waste barrels.

"Guys, watch where you ride. The last thing we need is any of us growing a third arm." Crash warned.

"Yeah dude, already been mutated once, and that's enough for me." Mikey agreed.

"Growing a third arm... funny, but scary thought. I'll stick with two." Pinkie noted.

"No way am I getting hit by toxic waste!" Sonata said as the heroes dodged the obstacles without even a hint of waste on any of them and rode off of a ramp, ending with Pinkie landing first.

"Whoo-hoo! I win this time!" Pinkie cheered as Sonata landed second.

"Yeah! We got ahead of them!" Sonata agreed as she and Pinkie gave each other a high five.

"Girls rule!" The kunoichis cheered as Mikey and Crash tied for third.

"You cool with a tie, Crash?" Mikey asked his fellow mutant.

"Don't mind at all mate." Crash humble answered before Pinkie noticed something in the waste, it was some kind of Chameleo/Slug/Pig hyrbid mutant titan.

"Whoa! That one looks like Muckman!" Pinkie pointed out as the others saw what she was talking about.

"Yeesh, that’s on nasty looking Sludge." Mikey said.

"I can handle jacking this one." Crash responded.

"Alright, but make sure you don't get sick from touching him." Sonata warned Crash.

"Here I go, mates!" Crash said as the Sludge throw its arms and tried to hit Crash, but he dodged every swing. "Somersault Kicks!" Crash called out as he landed a few kicks in the Sludge's face, stunning it. "Something tells me I won't be able to hold on to the head." Crash noticed before jumping inside the titan and jacked it.

"Nasty." The girls gagged, before the Sludge glowed in a bright light, and when it faded, it showed the slime of the Sludge to be orange with brown bits, and had blue tribal tattoos on its body.

"Oy, that was weird." The sludge titan before letting out a gasp, closing its mouth with its hands. "I-I can talk? YAHOO!!!"

"Can I get out now?" Crash asked, allowing the Sludge Titan to spit Crash out of his body.

"Sorry ‘bout that, mate." The Sludge titan apologized.

"It's cool. Every titan we jack just means one more we save." Crash brushed off with a smile.

"How would you like the name, Sligeon?" Mikey asked.

"Sounds that that name suits me just right, mate." Sligeon answered.

"Alright everyone, let's move out towards the factory." Crash ordered, only to be briefly stopped by Sonata.

"Just a second." Sonata said, throwing a Shurikin at a Spybot, destroying it. "So much for a sneak attack."

"Wow! Did you gain a Sonata Sense?!" Pinkie asked in excitement.

"Nah, just my ninja instincts." Sonata simply answered with a shrug.

Meanwhile N. Gin growled at another destroyed Spybot.

"Grrrrr!!! That siren girl makes me so mad! I could rip out my missile!" N. Gin growled as he was yanking the missile on his head.

"Just make sure she remains unharmed." Uka Uka ordered.

"And the others?" N. Gin asked.

"Do what you will." Uka Uka answered.

"Besides, we're gonna be going to Uka Uka's lab to make more loyal mutant soldiers." Nina added as she and Uka uka left with N. Gin getting on the intercom.

"Attention Doom Monkeys, prepare for battle! Shower them with fisticuffs! Or is it cutifists? DAAHHH, just hit them!" N. Gin ordered.

To be continued...
> Episode 10: A Sludge Too Far
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Crash and friends exited the cave, only to find Dingodile and the Titans under cover from missiles.

"Guys!" Dingodile called out

"What's going on?!" Sonata asked.

"The crown on N. Gin's statue is firing missiles all around this beachside!" Foxer answered.

"Everyone in the carriage!" Crash ordered, making everyone climbed aboard the Roadroller as he took the reigns. "We're almost there! Let's do this, mates!"

"YEE-HAW!" Armalion whooped as she rolled up into her ball form and bulldozered right through with the roadroller carriage in tow.

"Everybody, hang on!" Crash said as he drove the carriage through the missiles as they charged forward, but he was so much in a hurry, that Crash didn't noticed he was heading for a grinding area. "Guys..."

"Yeah?" Everyone else asked.

"Everyone hold onto something. Cause things are about to get very fast." Crash suggested as everyone held on as the Roadroller sped down the slope towards a ramp. They flew into the air and landed in the arena right at the factory, with N. Gin seeing the whole thing.

"Wow, points for craftmenship." N. Gin admitted as Sonata noticed the destructions the factory caused and the mutants N. Gin created and brainwashed.

"Grr... You won't get away that easily N. Gin!" Sonata growled in anger, with N. Gin noticing her red aura.

"Hurry up, and defeat Crash and his friends, then capture the Siren girl! They're getting that look in their eyes again!" N. Gin ordered.

"Get ready, everyone!" Crash said as Doom Monkeys charged forward, only for Sonata to unleash her fury.

"RRRRAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!" Sonata roared in rage as she became a blue blur surrounded by a red aura and knocked out Doom Monkeys left and right, before a Stench pounced on Sonata and attacked her.

"Sonata!" Crash gasped.

"GAH!" Sonata yelped in pain as Sligeon offered his hand to Crash.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure none of you will get sick from me." Sligeon assured everyone, making them sigh in relief.

"Phew... That's a relief, because I didn't want to get another Shellacne." Mikey said, completely calmed by the news.

"Shellacne?" Pinkie wondered.

"Don't ask, please." Mikey told Pinkie, ashamed of the experience as Dingodile sucked up a Doom Monkey.

"Oy, clear the way!" Dingodile yelled as Sonata calmed down, making the red aura disappear, before noticing generators that had targets on them.

"Foxer! Let's have some target practice!" Sonata declared, making Foxer turn toward her with a smile.

"I thought you'd never ask!" Foxer replied in excitement as Sonata and herself combined into Foxata once again, climbing up to a generator, only to be met by a Stench, when Dingodile launched the Doom Monkey, stunning it.

"We even?" Dingodile asked.

"Of course we're even. We're friends after all." Foxata answered as she threw a tonfa feather dart at one of the targets, only for it to bounce off to the ground."Grr... Guess we'll need more strength. Pinkie! Fuse with Scorgomid!"

"Let's do this!" Pinkie cheered.

"Oh! Okay." Scorgomid agreed as she turned into a Scorporilla mask, which Pinkie donned, becoming a human-sized and shaped Scorporilla with Pinkie's hairstyle and color, along with her other gear, becoming Pinkomid.

"I'm only going to destroy the machines!" Pinkomid said in a determined yet peaceful tone.

"And the rest of us will cover you." Crash replied.

"This will be fun." Dingodile said as he readied his flamethrower pistol.

"Easy with the fire on the Stenchs." Mikey added.

"He's right. We don't want a one-way ticket to the moon." Crash agreed.

"Ya sayin' they're stink nukes?" Dingodile asked as Crash started wrestling a Stench.

"Not sure. But best not to take chances." Crash answered.

"Good point there, mate." Dingodile  agreed as Pinkomid destroyed three generators..

"Three down, and one to go." Pinkomid noted.

"I got your back, Pinks." Foxata assured the pink Scorporilla fusion.

"Yes, thank you very much." Pinkomid said in gratitude, giving a warm and gentle smile, before a Scorporilla appeared and threw her aside.

"Dingo, I have an idea. When I tuck into my shell, use your Blow Blaster to launch me at it." Mikey said.

"Are ya sure about, mate? Ya won't get hurt, right?" Dingodile asked in concern.

"Don't worry, dude. My shell will keep me safe." Mikey answered.

"Alright, Mikey. If ya say so." Dingodile said as he sucked up Mikey into his Blow Blaster, and then shot him at the final generator, who bounced off, stunning the brainwashed Scorporilla and jacked it.

"Told ya I'd be fine." Mikey-Scorporilla said as he lowered and forced open the door, revealing the pathway into the factory through… The butt of N. Gin’s statue?!

"What the?!" Everyone gasped in shock.

"OW! They broke my bum!" N. Gin yelled as Sonata and Pinkie took off their masks, along with Mikey disconnecting from the  Scorporilla, freeing the large titan from Nina's control.

"We're seriously going in that way?" Sonata asked, filled with fear of the situation.

"It doesn’t look like we any other choice." Aku Aku answered as he and everyone else dreaded of going in through the rear.

"Dudes, I would prefer the sewers or the toxic waste than going in that fortress through there. But we gotta do it." Mikey said, giving in to the situation.

"I'll stay with carriage." Armalion responded as Dingodile grabbed a back of TNT, saving everyone from the embarrassment of going in through the rear of the statue.

"Don't want to let this eyesore stay." Dingodile explained.

"Got a lighter?" Pinkie asked as Dingodile reached into his back pocket and brought out an electric lighter.

"Fully charged and ready to light." Dingodile answered.

"Better stay away from the dynamite." Crash suggested.

"What about the workers?" Sonata asked in worry.

"Oh. You mean all of ‘these’ workers?" Pinkie responded, pointing to fleeing workers as much to everyone’s surprise and shock, Pinkie already got all of the workers out.

"How did you...?" Crash uttered.

"Fire Alarm." Pinkie simply answered with a smile.

"Why am I not surprised?" Sonata and Mikey said with a shake of their heads and a smile.

"Crude, but effective." Dingodile admitted.

"Let's roll." Crash ordered as the dynamite blew up the statue and the factory.

> Episode 11: Shock and Awesome
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the smoke caused by the dynamites cleared from the explosion, everyone saw a strange door on the ground.

"Huh? What's this, dude?" Mikey wondered as he and all of his friends looked at the words that read on the steel.

"'SECRET FACTORY?!'" Everyone gasped.

"N. Gin! Why that little...!!!" Sonata growled.

"Calm down, Sonata!" Crash suggested as everyone entered the door, looking around, seeing the facility.

"Man, this place is a lot bigger than it looks." Mikey noticed as Sonata looked at a map on the wall.

"Seriously? A map?" Sonata deadpanned.

"N. Gin was never good with directions. At least we got means to know where we're going." Dingodile said.

"Looks like we'll have to get to the power station if we want to blow this place up." Crash suggested.

"But knowin' N. Gin, the power station is also where he orders the dumb missile-head apes." Dingodile responded.

"Just makes our job easier." Pinkie said, looking on the bright side.

"Alright everyone, let's move out because this place ain't going to be destroy itself with us standing around." Crash ordered while none of them noticed N. Gin was watching on the security monitors.

"Enjoy... your SCREAMING DOOM!!!" N. Gin declared as he pressed a switch, making something head for the heroes as Crash and his friends were heading in the direction of the power station when ice pillars appeared in front of them.

"Brr!!! It's cold in here!" Pinkie shivered.

"I'm glad I became a mutant!" Mikey said in relief.

"Uh guys, I think we're going to get a frosty welcome. Pun not intended." Sonata pointed out when something smashed through the ice pillars, revealing to be a rat mutant titan.

"Not again! This is like the Rat King all over again! Except this time, it's with a Ratcicle!" Mikey panicked, naming the new titan species.

"Rat King?" Crash asked in confusion.

"It's a long story." Mikey answered as the Ratcicle sent ice pillars to the heroes, but Dingodile melted them with his Flamethrower pistol.

"Heh. Ya know ice and fire don't mix, mate." Dingodile taunted.

"Especially lava!" Solava added as she stomped the ground, causing a fault line to shoot forward while leaking magma, stunning the Ratcicle.

"I got this." Sonata said as she rushed towards it, jacking the titan, causing a bright light to cover the Ratcicle. When the light faded, the Ratcicle's fur was moderate sapphire blue, the stripes on its arms were moderate violet, the claws were brilliant rose, and it had magenta tribal tattoos on its fur.

"Wha-What happened? !!! I can talk?! But that's scientifically impossible!" The Ratcicle guessed, finding this discovery unbelievable.

"Twilight." Mikey and Pinkie said, unimpressed that the titan had the same personality as their science friend with glasses.

"Who?" The Ratcicle wondered.

"Friend of ours." Sonata answered as she got off of the titan.

"How about we call you Micolda?" Pinkie asked.

"Actually, I think that name is the best choice. Anyway, thank you so much for freeing me! And I'll help you find the best probability to find and beat N. Gin!" Micolda said, ready to help her new friends as the intercom came on.

"You fools think you can destroy this factory. You're even stupider than you all look." N. Gin taunted.

"Says the half-brained two-faced personality cyborg." Crash countered.

"Ha! Good one, mate!" Dingodile gloated, making everyone else snickered as N. Gin growled.

"You fools! Even if you destroy the factory, we’re already ahead of schedule with the Doominator. And we'll more power when we take the Siren girl prisoner." N. Gin said, catching everyone's attention.

"You're after Sonata?!" Mikey and Pinkie gasped.

"Somehow, I'm not surprised." Crash deadpanned.

"Wha-Why?!" Sonata asked in horror.

"I think it's because of that red aura." Aku Aku theorized.

"Uka Uka knows who you are. And once we get you thinking correctly, you'll be back on the right side." N. Gin said as Sonata felt her anger grow at his words.

"That Uka Uka...! He's just like the Shredder!!!" Sonata growled as she started gaining that red aura again.

"Yes! Let your anger grow! Prove that you belong with us!" N. Gin cheered, making Sonata realize what she was doing and what they were planning.

"No... I won't lose myself to anger." Sonata said as she breathed in and out slowly, calming herself and making the red aura fade.

"Nice try, stupid." Mikey said with a confident smile.

"Like our friend is going to join you." Pinkie added with the same smile.

"Ha! How'd you like that, N. Gin?" Crash taunted.

"It would seem Sonata's caught on to you, Nina and Uka Uka's plan. Well she won't fall for it any longer." Aku Aku said.

"Yeah! In your metal-flesh face!" Dingodile cheered, making N. Gin growl in frustration.

"ALL SECURITY TO THE POWER STATION OF THE FACTORY! Also, please note that tomorrow is Hawaiian Shirt Day. Please find a festive yet tacky shirt to wear." N. Gin informed, causing a dead silence as a tumbleweed rolled by.

Mikey decided to break that silence. "Let's just focus on the first part. Looks like we'll need an attack plan."

"Agreed." The kunoichis agreed as everyone snuck to the Power Station and saw mutants and Doom Monkeys ready for a fight.

"Scorgomid, we'll need you, Sonata, Foxer, Dingodile, and Crabusk keep their attention on you all. The rest of us we'll sneak by and set the TNT." Crash ordered.

"I believe I'll be more assistant with the assault them." Micolda suggested as she thrusted her claws into the ground, causing ice and frozen spikes to erupt and spread in front of her throughout the whole room, freezing all of the enemy mutants and Doom Monkeys, as well as making Mikey, Pinkie, Sonata and Crash's jaws drop.

"Or we could do that." Crash uttered.

"Are they okay?" Sonata asked in concern.

"Don't worry, I analyzed the potential of my abilities, so I only made them immobile." Micolda answered.

"Dingodile, set the dynamite." Crash ordered as Dingodile started setting the TNT with Micolda doing calculations on how much time they have to escape.

"How long do we have to escape?" Mikey asked.

"From the looks of things and my calculations, about 10 minutes!" Micolda answered.

"That should be enough time for them to escape." Sonata said in relief.

"N. Gin probably isn't too far." Crash noted before the intercom came on.

"Fools! Did you really think that was the only power station?!" N. Gin asked.

"What are you talking about?" Crash asked in confusion.

"Tsk-Tsk-Tsk...! The Secondary Power supply is more than powerful enough to fuel the factory. And I didn't map it, because I'm with it!" N. Gin gloated.

"Crikey! I didn't think he could smarter?!" Dingodile said in shock.

"Everyone learns from their mistakes." Crash reminded.

"Good point." Grihoga admitted.

"I know every square inch of this factory. Follow me." Micolda urged.

"Okay. Lead the way!" Foxer said with Micolda lead the way as everyone followed, before she spotted something ahead.

"Oh, shoot! I forgot! The only way to get to the other power station, is through that wall!" Micolda remembered with a face-palm.

"This'll be hard to knock down." Foxer admitted.

"Yeah... But, maybe... A RhinoRoller could help us get through here! Armalion, we'll need your help!" Micolda said to the RhinoRoller.

"Say no more, sugarcube. Let's roll!" Armalion declared when everyone got out of her way as Armalion bouldered through.

"Now THAT was bulldozing through those steel walls." Sligeon said, impressed by that.

"Glad she's on our side." Dingodile replied in relief.

"Alright everyone, stay close and watch each other's backs." Crash instructed as the heroes and titans went forward, going through rooms, beating Doom Monkeys and freeing other mutant titans.

"Okay, next, we should head up that vent." Micold said, pointing to a path going straight up, literally.

"Perfect. Hey Sonata, if you want to hang back. It's okay." Crash suggested.

"Yeah, we can handle things here." Mikey added.

"No. I don't leave my friends behind." Sonata said, filled with DETERMINATION.

"The rest of us will go ahead and meet with you later." Crash told all of the titans as he and the other heroes with Aku Aku jumped up the vent.

"He has a good point, because I know where our two paths can meet up." Micolda remembered as she lead the rest of her mutant friends a different path to meet up with the others.

Later, Crash and his friends got ahead to the next room, only to find it a public shower.

"C'mon dudes! Let's go!" Mikey declared as he was about to go in, only to notice no one moving an inch, not to mention Pinkie and Sonata's faces are red as tomatoes. "Dudes? What's wrong?"

"Not a word." Pinkie uttered.

"Mention this to anyone, and you will regret it." Sonata threatened as she had a dark aura and Pinkie had flat hair.

"I'd take their word for it, mate." Crash said as the three heroes and Aku Aku went ahead, leaving Mikey behind.

"What? What did I do?" Mikey asked in confusion.

"Mikey, this is a Men's Public Shower!" Sonata said in anger.

"You better promise that you won't tell about this to anyone or we'll beat the tar out of you!" Pinkie threatened.

"Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." Mikey said, doing the signature Pinkie Promise, calming the kunoichis.

"What was that?" Crash asked in confusion.

"A Pinkie Promise." Pinkie answered.

"Mikey can't break it or Pinkie Pie will beat the snot out of him." Sonata explained.

"Again, I won't question it." Aku Aku simply said.

"Again, good call." Mikey agreed as the heroes fought their way through the shower to an elevator. "Well dudes, we made it."

"Yeah, pretty good fight." Dingodile agreed as he wiped his forehead with his arm, before Crash sniffed the air.

"Anyone else smell Wet Dog?" Crash asked as everyone instinctively looked at Dingodile.

"What? C'mon mates! I'm half dingo! Who'd ya expect? Milton Berle?" Dingodile rhetorically asked.

"Got any cologne in your hair, Pinkie?" Sonata requested as Pinkie dug through her hair.

"No, but will spray-on deodorant work?" Pinkie asked.

"Close enough." Sonata answered as Dingodile took the can and started spraying himself.

"Hey Dingo, out of curiosity, what are you going to do when were done?" Crash wondered.

"Honestly, I'm thinking about openin' a restaurant I'll call, Dingo's Diner!" Dingodile answered, putting a bit of dread on Crash and Aku Aku's faces. "Spice Cheese Nachos, Chilli Fries, 50 Cheese Pizza." Dingodile described, making Crash and Aku Aku relax at the sound of edible food.

"DUDE!!! That's my kind of diner! Sign me up for bein' the first customer!" Mikey cheered.

"Me, too!" Pinkie agreed.

"I call Taco Menu!" Sonata added.

"Phew... Better now than in the future." Crash said in relief.

"Agreed." Aku Aku said, also relieved by the news.

"You two okay?" Dingodile asked.

"We'll explain it later, buddy." Crash answered.

"Right now, let's get into the elevator." Aku Aku informed as everyone got into the elevator and rode it down.

Later, Crash and his friends arrived at a new level of the factory, meeting up with two of their titan allies, Skunture and Scorgomid, and finding that they were at the second power station.

"There it is!!!" Everyone gasped as N. Gin showed himself on top of the machine.

"Well, well, well... A Rodent, A Turtle, A Mask, A Traitor, and two girls. What do these 6 individuals have in common?" N. Gin asked through the intercom.

"Uh…" The ninja trio dazed, not knowing how to answer that.

"THEY'RE DOOMED!" N. Gin yelled as organ music started to play, making the station let out steam and smoke as titans and Doom Monkeys appeared.

"Doesn’t look like we can take it out on the outside though." Skunture noticed.

"Oh… What‘ll we do?" Scorgomid whimpered.

"Find a way to get inside!" Mikey declared.

"Indeedy!" Pinkie agreed.

"Take out the core, take out the station!" Sonata simplified.

"N. Gin’s probably at the core too!" Crash added.

"Righty-o, mates!" Dingodile agreed.

"But we need go around the outer shell to find the entrance." Aku Aku informed.

"Well, we won't get anywhere standing around. Let's move out." Crash said as he and the others started moving forward, then met up with the rest of their titan allies.

"You guys starting the fun without us?" Foxer asked with a smirk.

"As if!" Sonata answered as Foxer transformed into her mask form, which Sonata put on her face.

"FEATHER STORM!" Sonata let out a battle cry as she transformed into Foxata and threw many tonfa feather darts, hitting multiple enemies, with Mikey managing to jack a Ratcicle to provide support.

"Here's a chilling surprise!" Mikey-Ratcicle punned as he thrusted his claws into the ground, sending out ice spikes, freezing and knocking out enemies.

"Leave some for me." Dingodile said as he sucked up a Doom Monkey and fired it at Stench. "Bull's Eye!"

"With you stunning that Stench, more like 'Stink Eye!'" Skunture punned, making everyone, even Pinkie, Grihoga, Mikey and Foxata groan at that odiferous joke.

"Less yapping, more fighting!" Crash said as he did his swornadorang move and blew away some Doom Monkeys. The overwhelming force of Crash and friends caused N. Gin's forces to retreat.

"Sorry, N. Gin!" A Doom Monkey apologized, fleeing from the fight.

"Stop, cowards! Grr!!! Good thing I've made automatic robots to keep you all busy and way!" N. Gin said as he showed up and pushed a button, making robots rose out of the ground in front of the heroes. "Behold, MY ZOMBOT ARMY!!!"

"Seriously…?" The Ninja Trio asked, completely unimpressed.

"What?!" N. Gin gasped in shock.

"We faced robot ninjas..." Mikey started listing.

"Cybernetic Dinosaurs...." Foxata added.

"And Aliens in robotic suits." Pinkie finished.

"Robot zombies? Not scary in the least." Foxata said as she waved in dismissal.

"Crash, you deal with N. Gin. We got this." Mikey told the bandicoot hero.

"Fools! Let's see if you defeat me!" N. Gin taunted before Pinkie threw a smoke bomb, blinding the robots with the smoke cloud.

"Let's play Blind Man's Bluff." Foxata said with a smirk.

"Searching enemies... Searching enemies..." A Zombot scanned as Foxata got her feathers ready and saw the Zombots through the smoke.

"Peekaboo, I see you." Foxata taunted as she threw her feather darts, putting 4 zombots out of commission.

"Time for a Shell Toss!" Mikey declared as he went to Foxata, who tossed the ninja turtle in his shell, crashing into five more Zombots and bouncing into another group like a pinball.

"Tilt!" Pinkie said before wrapping her chain end of her weapon around a Zombot and sliced it up with the sickle of her weapon. "Look at that, he fell apart."

A Zombot was about to shoot Pinkie, only for Dingodile to nail it in the head with his water pistol, making it malfunction and shut down.

"We even?" Dingodile asked.

"Of course we are." Pinkie answered with a smile as Crash was junking a Zombot with his Bokkun Twister, doing his signature spin attack with his Bokkun sword, completely wrecking the machine.

After Foxata crushed the last robot with two of her tonfa feather darts held like her ninja weapons, she and everyone else bolted towards N. Gin, who seemed to have a cocky smile on his face.

"Later, losers." N. Gin taunted as he jumped down a chute.

"Crud! He got away!" Foxata cursed as she turned back into Sonata and Foxer.

"Actually, I think he went in deeper into the power station." Aku Aku noticed as everyone else shrugged and chased after N. Gin, deeper into the power station.

To be continued...
> Episode 13: Doomraker
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Crash and his friends were riding down the chute in pursuit of N. Gin.

"And it looks like we’re just about outta here, dudes." Mikey said.

"Good, I'm ready to blow this place up." Dingodile replied.

"Remember everyone, we need N. Gin to tell us where Uka Uka and Nina are. We find them, we'll find the Doominator and my sister." Crash reminded everyone as they exited the chute, only to find themselves in a familiar situation.

"Dudes, this is just like the temple." Mikey remembered

"Gotta go left first, then right to go straight." Pinkie said.

"I'll stay behind. I'm too big to fit through, anyway." Scorgomid pointed out.

"Actually, you still have your mask form, meaning you can stay with us." Pinkie countered.

"Let her stay. We'll need someone to guard this position." Sonata suggested.

"I'll stay, too." Micolda added.

"Likewise." Solava agreed.

"Uh… maybe I’ll stay out here too, just in case they need my help and all that." Crabusk bashfully said while unknown to anyone, the Shellephant had a little blush on his face.

"Alright, mates." Crash replied as he and everyone else went down the left corridor, only to find it booby-trapped. "Should’ve, seen that coming."

"Ya think?" Skunture rhetorically asked as Mikey grabbed his skateboard.

"Just makes it interesting." Mikey said in excitement as he started to ride away.

"Got a point there." Skunture admitted as she started to run fast as a blur.

"Pinkie, darling, do you think I can have the honor of fusing with you?" Orciamond asked Pinkie, who was skating.

"Sure, no problem." Pinkie answered as she dodged a buzz saw perfectly, when Orciamond turned into her mask form, allowing Pinkie to grab her and don the mask, transforming into a humanoid Whalephant with Pinkie’s hair, clothing and gear, becoming Pinkamond.

The Titans and Doom Monkeys in the next room were ready for a fight, when the door in front of them gained three fist-shaped dents.

"Oh!" A Doom Monkey gasped as Pinkamond came smashing in and threw the Doom Monkeys around like rag dolls.

"I ain't letting you have all the fun!" Dingodile said.

"Of course not, sweetie!" Pinkamond responded as she shot bursts of cake batter from her blowhole at other enemies and Dingodile shot Doom Monkeys with his water and flamethrower pistols, while none of the Doom Monkeys saw Crash and the others setting the dynamite till a Ratcicle charged at them.

"I got him." Sonata said before whacking the Ratcicle in the face with her tonfas, stunning the titan, allowing her to jack it. "Now I'll show those Doom Monkeys what's 'cool.'" Sonata-Ratcicle said as she froze the incoming enemies.

"You got the lines down and everything?! Sonata, you're on point!" Mikey cheered as he whacked another Doom Monkey with his nunchucks.

"Alright everyone, it's going to blow!" Crash said as he and everyone else in the room ran out of the left side as the locking mechanism in the left side was demolished by the dynamite.

"Alright! Next up is to the right!" Grihoga cheerfully said as the heroes ran to the next one, setting up the explosives when Skunture spoke up, offering the fuse to Sonata. "Wanna light up the fuse, Sonata?"

"Dingo?" Sonata requested as Dingodile tossed his flamethrower pistol to her. "Thanks." Sonata said in gratitude as she lit the fuse of the dynamite. "Now let's get outta here!"

The heroes ran and were just at the door leading out of the right side, only to be confronted by a large mechanical... Bandicoot?

"C'mon... Mecha Bandicoot? Again?" Crash deadpanned.

"You fought this thing before?" Mikey asked.

"Yes, but this time, it seems to be auto-piloted." Aku Aku answered as the machine started attacking, which made everyone dodging it.

“Crash, how'd beat this thing?” Sonata asked.

“See that nose of his? It shoots energy blasts that we can hit back.” Crash instructed as the Robot Bandicoot fired at Crash, but he used a his Bokken sword to send it back. “Alright guys, junk it.”

Everyone then started attacking the Mecha Bandicoot from all sides, taking out its chainsaw and missile launcher, before Dingodile grabbed the head with his claws and jaws.

"Crash, I know we're friends now, but I seriously need to get this out of my system." Dingodile said before ripping off the Robot Bandicoot's head, making it shut down.

"You good, pal?" Crash asked.

"Better than ever, mate." Dingodile answered with a smile, spitting out the robot head as Sonata grabbed the chainsaw.

"No way we're leaving this." Sonata giggled.

"Uh… Ya sure about that, mate? ‘Cause that looks pretty sharp and dangerous." Crash asked in concern.

"You're talking to a trio of highly skilled ninjas here." Mikey countered as everyone ran out of the right side just as it exploded, making the middle entrance open.

The titans guarding outside came with them, as everyone saw the room filled with doors, rushing straight towards N. Gin's location.

"Crikey, that’s a lot of entrances." Crash uttered, before he and everyone else saw N. Gin.

"We’ve finally caught up with you, N. Gin!" Sonata yelled.

"Crash, Sonata, you fools. You’re all too late. It’s time to drop the doom hammer on you. Eh, the doom hammer of doom, u-upon you. And-LET’S JUST DANCE, BABY!!!" N. Gin shouted as he started playing his organ. "You'll have to fight your way to me first. Destroy the others, but leave the Siren Girl alone!"

"Perhaps it's my turn for a fuse." Micolda said.

"And mine." Skunture agreed.

"Um… One problem. There’s too many enemies to get to N. Gin." Scorgomid pointed out

"We need to find a way to cut off reinforcements!" Solava said as Micolda became a Ratcicle mask, which Pinkie grabbed.

"Leave it to me." Pinkie said as she put on Micolda mask, turning into a humanoid Ratcicle, with the clothes, hair and equipment, becoming Pinkolda. "Here everyenemy, have some ICE cream!" Pinkolda punned as she threw ice powder at a group of enemies, which exploded, freezing the foes.

But then Foxer noticed a target on nine entrances each. "Wait a minute… We need to destroy the targets above the doors!" Foxer informed.

"Sonata, take Skunture and deal with it." Crash said.

"I'll give her a hand." Dingodile added.

"Thanks, Dingo!" Sonata thanked as Skunture became a Stench mask, and the siren ninja went with the croc/dingo hybrid to a few targets.

"Booyahkasa!" Mikey let out his battle cry as he charged forward whacking away Doom Monkeys.

"He has the right idea. Booyahkasha!" Pinkolda yelled out as she attacked Doom Monkeys away with her hands and weapon, freezing the enemies on contact, while Crash helped out, doing his Swordnado trick on other Doom Monkeys.

"This is literally going to stink." Sonata dreaded as she put Skunture's mask on, turning into a humanoid Stench with Sonata’s color, clothing, hair and equipment, becoming Sonature. "Here comes the stink bombs!" Sonata declared as she launched stink bombs from her hands as Dingodile nailed the bombs with his flamethrower pistol and they blew up what they wanted to destroyed, closing four entrances.

"Okay, maybe Crash was right about that Moon Launching." Dingodile admitted, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Besides, from the looks of things, this smell from Stenches have methane, which can be put on fire." Sonature noticed.

"But there’s five more targets to take down." Dingodile added.

"I should stick a missile in YOUR head for that!" N. Gin said with frustration.

"Please hurry, we need back up!" Mikey urged as he knocked away more Doom Monkeys.

"Allow me!" Foxer said as she threw four feather darts, destroying four more targets, leaving one entrance left. "Eight down, one to go!"

"Stop resisting my good looks, AND GIVE UP ALREADY!!!" N. Gin yelled with anger.

"Mikey, toss me a Doom Monkey!" Dingodile requested as Mikey kicked a Doom Monkey towards him, which Dingodile sucked into his Blow Blaster. "Peace-o Muhado, stupid." Dingodile said as he shot the Doom Monkey at the final target, stopping all reinforcements.

"No more baddies comin’!" Crabusk said with joy.

"Now let's get N. Gin!" Mikey declared as he and everyone got to N. Gin, cornering him.

"Well, what do we have here? You'll tell us where Coco is, won't you?" Aku Aku asked.

"Of course not. Disgusting, filthy bandicoots! I hate them with cheese." N. Gin answered before shuffling to his good side. "They made it here. Now, they'll help us save Dr. Cortex." Shuffling back to his bad side. "Don’t be ridiculous, you stupid, horrible idiot! We’re with Nina now. We’re with the winner." Back to his good side. "But Dr. Cortex is our friend." Bad side. "You don’t have any friends! He always kicked you in the tuchus, and other… very… gentle spots." Good side. "But I liked it when he did that."

That last part disturbed the heroes and titans greatly as Sonata looked to her friends and tapped the side of her head. "I take back about what I said about having half a brain, because that brain half is completely scrambled." Sonata said as all of her friends agreed.

"It was kinda fun. Listen, we make a deal with these filthy rodent, little girls, sneaky turtle, backstabbing traitors and pine-nuts face, and they help us save the master. Then we shower them with doom? Eheh." Bad N. Gin said before his good side started laughing. "Yes, shower them good. Right in the eyes." Good N. Gin agreed with a small laugh before being grabbed on the missile by Crash closer to them while the cyborg screamed like a girl.

"Listen up, Corn Dog. You help us, or Crash here will sing you some knuckle music with his Bokken sword as a backup singer." Aku Aku threatened as Crash showed his fist to N. Gin before patting his hand with his Bokken sword.

"Ooh! I know that is one kind of music Raph will NOT miss." Mikey said, glad about that kind of physical music.

"(High-pitched) I’ll be good! I promise, I’ll be good... (Normal-pitch) And once my precious master has been freed, I will gladly betray you. You don’t even look like a bandicoot!" N. Gin shouted to Crash, confusing everyone else in the room.

"What?" Aku Aku uttered in confusion, before getting shushed by N. Gin.

"Shhh, it's okay. Anyway, get out of here." Good N. Gin said to them before going back to his bad side. "That’s right, stupids. You need to go to Uka Uka’s lab and stop him. That’s where they make all of the delicious mutants, eheh. Maybe your revolting sister is there, too. Eugh, girls."

That was a bad move for N. Gin, as all of the girls got shadows over their eyes, Pinkie’s hair became flat, and Sonata’s eyes glowed ruby red through the darkness.

"Uh, okay. Let's not do anything hasty, ladies." N. Gin suggested as the girls moved in with hostile intentions. "No! Please! I bruise easily!"

All the boys heard next were the sounds of punches and N. Gin's cries for his mommy.

"Time to go, everyone." Aku Aku said after the girls were finished with N. Gin's punishment, then all of the heroes and titans left, leaving behind an explosion on the core of the power station, shutting down the factory.

Meanwhile, at Uka Uka’s lab…Listen to music from 13:35-14:41

"The mojo we’ve stolen is working perfectly. We’re making more loyal mutant soldiers than we know what to do with." Nina said.

"Yes, for once everything seems to going according to plan." Uka Uka agreed before staring off into somwhere, which Nina noticed.

"Yo, Uka. What’s the matter with you?" Nina asked.

"I sense something. Two presences. One I haven't felt in a thousand years and the other since..." Uka Uka trailed off.

"What? Spit it out, kindling face." Nina ordered.

“A tremor in the mojo. The last time I felt this was in the presence of my brother, Aku Aku.” Uka Uka answered.

“Oh, jeebus. Crash, Aku Aku and the others are here? Oh, I’ll take Blondie and make her finish work on the robot. You, stay behind, turn Sonata against Crash and kill him and his friends.” Nina ordered.

"Oh yes, I will make Sonata betray Crash Bandicoot and kill him and his friends. Kill them… Forever." Uka Uka said menacingly as he... Oh boy... Broke the 4th wall...

Listen and watch video from 14:25-14:41

Crash and his friends were riding in the Roadroller while using Aku Aku as a guide.

"Aku Aku, do you know where Uka Uka could be?" Crash asked his friend.

"We're closing in on him." Aku Aku answered as everyone saw a menacing looking tree.

"A tree?" Mikey wondered.

"Reminds me of the Creep and Snakeweed." Pinkie remembered.

"Make that Creepweed." Mikey added.

"I got a bad feeling about this." Dingodile said, feeling a chill up his spine, while nobody saw shadows lurking over them.

"Guys... Why is it so quiet?" Mikey asked as everyone noticed there wasn't even a single bird flying around the area.

"Forget that. Why is this place so desempty." Grihoga added.

"Heehee… Deserted and empty. Good one!" Pinkie giggled.

"Thank you! Heeheehee!" Grihoga said in gratitude.

"It's kinda creepy." Sonata admitted.

"Fluttershy once told me that in the jungle, areas that are quiet are a bad sign." Pinkie remembered.

"How come?" Crash asked.

"It usually means a predator's den is close by." Pinkie answered.

"Pink ninja right!" A tribal voice said in agreed as the heroes and titans were suddenly surrounded by blue tribal bunnies wearing voodoo masks. "If you enter Master Uka Uka territory, you enter Voodoo Bunny territory"

"Easy now, we're just passing by. We don't want any trouble." Crash bluffed, trying to get himself and his friends through without a fight, but a Voodoo Bunny saw right through that.

"Crash Bandicoot lie! Voodoo Bunnies know you want in Master Uka Uka lair!" The Voodoo Bunny responded in anger.

"So much for not wanting any trouble." Solava deadpanned.

"Got that right." Dingodile agreed.

"Master Uka Uka will reward tribe for capture!" The Voodoo Bunny said as he and the other minions started to attack the heroes with their spears, before their weapons were destroyed by Foxer throwing her feathers at them.

"Let's get out of here!" Crash said as he and his friends started to make a run for it.

"You not going anywhere!" The Voodoo Bunny said as he and the other enemies began to chant, summoning dark storm clouds above them. Then lightning bolts struck the ground ahead of the heroes, causing Armalion to stop.

"What in Sam hill?!" Armalion gasped.

"I should've known! These Voodoo Bunnies can somehow use voodoo magic!" Aku Aku said.

"Then we gotta blind 'em and beat 'em!" Skunture declared.

"Pinkie, give us a smoke cloud!" Crash ordered.

"You got it!" Pinkie agreed.

"A B see ya!" Mikey taunted the Voodoo Bunnies as he and Pinkie threw smoke bombs onto the ground, keeping the minions from seeing them escape.

"Hang on!" Crash said as Armalion rushed out, increasing the Roadroller's speed, but the escape didn't go unnoticed.

"After them!" A Voodoo Bunny ordered as they minions of Uka uka chased after them.

"Not good! They saw us anyway!" Stalag noticed.

"Get ready for a fight!" Crash said as the Voodoo Bunnies proved enough to catch up, swarming onto the Roadroller.

"We don't take hitchhikers." Mikey quipped as he swung to the top and kicked them off.

"Oh... Bunnies are usually very cute... Please forgive me!" Scorgomid begged as she whacked some of the Voodoo Bunnies with her tail, which lit itself on fire for some reason.

"Foxer, can I get a ride?" Sonata asked.

"Sure! Hop onto my back!" Foxer answered as Sonata did just that.

"Follow us, boys." Sonata taunted as she and Foxer took another path with multiple Voodoo Bunnies following them.

"My word! There are no more of those rabbits following us!" Orciamond noticed.

"But that means..." Micolda started in realization.

"All of their attention is fixed on Sonata!" Aku Aku finished.

"Strange little bunnies." Pinkie noted.

"Forget about that. We gotta catch up to Sonata and Foxer!" Crash said, making the two ninjas panic.

"GAH!!! You're right!" Mikey realized.

"AH!!! Uka Uka really wants to capture Sonata!" Pinkie added.

"Aku Aku, is there anything you can remember about Equestria and your brother? Anything at all." Crash requested.

"My memory of Equestria is still a little foggy, but it's returning slowing." Aku Aku answered.

"For now, we need to go after Sonata!" Pinkie shouted as they turned back, going after Sonata and Foxer.

Meanwhile with the aforementioned two heroes, Foxer stopped a bit see how many Voodoo Bunnies were chasing them, only to see all of them heading towards them, making both her and Sonata let out a scream of surprise.

"I knew some of them would follow us, but I didn't expect all of them!" Foxer admitted.

"Voodoo Bunnies capture Siren girl for Master Uka Uka!" A Voodoo Bunny said, leaving Sonata shocked by that.

"Uka Uka really is after me! But why?!" Sonata asked, completely scared.

"Not important." Foxer said as she started running so fast, Sonata had to hold on for dear life. When they entered a cave they found, the Voodoo Bunnies stopped.

"Huh?" The two wondered.

"They stopped following us." Foxer noticed.

"But why?" Sonata asked in confusion.

"FOOLS!" A voice yelled as two cages dropped, capturing Sonata and Foxer, with the voice revealing itself to be Uka Uka. "You idiots fell right into my trap!"

"What do you want from me, Uka Uka?" Sonata asked, not liking where this is going.

“Tell me, Sonata; Do you remember the plan Adagio told you about that led to your encounter with those pillars?” Uka Uka asked, catching the siren ninja completely off guard.

“What?! How did you know about that!?” Sonata asked in complete shock.

“I was the one who gave your sister the plan, and that lead to you and your sisters getting banished! I was the one who lead your amulets' destruction! BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!” Uka Uka answered with a diabolical laugh as Sonata couldn't believe it what she heard. All of the suffering she and her sisters endured, was all because of this mask! This discovery left Sonata's blood boiling as she started to growl with the red aura oozing out of her fiercely. “Yes... That's it... Let your anger consume you!!!” Uka Uka said as he sent out a powerful blast of dark mojo toward Sonata and Foxer, taking control of them. But something was happening to Sonata, she was changing... Changing into something else, while Foxer seemed to have grown bigger and fiercer. “Now there's only one thing left to do... Wait for Crash and his friends.”

Meanwhile, with Crash and his friends, they entered the tree, when suddenly, Pinkie's Geodo and Mikey’s Medallion were glowing brightly, like they were giving them a warning.

“Ooh... My Pinkie Sense isn't acting up, but I already have shivers down my spine.” Pinkie shivered.

“Me too. And I think whatever it is, I think I need to change my shell because of it.” Mikey agreed as the Roadroller started to slow down.

“Easy, Armalion. Let's take it slow.” Crash said to the RhinoRoller.

“Alrigh' but Ah don't think we'll go straight the whole time.” Armalion pointed out.

“Arma's right about that. At some point, we'll have to start going up.” Grihoga agreed.

“I know, mates. Uka Uka’s lab has gotta be at the top somewhere.” Crash said.

“Let's take it slow. First we find Sonata, then we head to the lab.” Mikey listed before Aku Aku paled in realization of something.

“Oh no...” Aku Aku dreaded.

“What is it?” Pinkie asked.

“I think... Uka Uka captured Sonata and Foxer and taken them to his lab!” Aku Aku answered.

“WHAT?!” Mikey and Pinkie gasped in complete shock and fear.

“Now I'm mad.” Crash growled.

“Grr... Me too.” Dingodile said in agreement.

“Calm down everyone, we can't let anger or fear get the best of us! We need to think positive!” Grihoga advised.

“Uh, guys? Is it just me, or am I seeing big mutant bat titans hanging on those inner branches upside down?” Skunture asked as everyone looked to where Skunture was pointing, and saw mutant titans that looked like the combination of a Bat and a Switchblade. The bat mutants woke up and noticed them.

“Watch out dudes! Here comes the Battlers!” Mikey yelled as the Battlers let out a horrible sonic screech.

“My ears!” Pinkie groaned as she covered her ears.

“GAH!!! Just what we needed, more Wingnuts!” Mikey deadpanned as he remembered the mutated form of April’s father.

“They still making that comic?” Dingodile asked.

“They have that in this world too?!” Mikey gasped in surprised.

“Grihoga, give us a better concert.” Crash said as Grihoga gave a stunning growl, but only managed to stun one.

“Oopsie, forget that I need to roar to stun all enemies, but this should be enough.” Grihoga said as she looked on the bright side, before Mikey's Medallion and Pinkie's Geode began to glow, covering the stunned Battler. When the light faded, the Battler had luminous vivid orange fur, brilliant yellow stripes, pale apple green leather on its wings, dark gold nails, and marigold-orange tribal tattoos on its fur and wings.

“My head...” The Battler groaned before she gasped as the Battler ally realized it could speak, before swinging her wings back, summoning whirlwinds that stunned the rest of the titans. “You guys okay?”

“Yeah, we are thanks to you mate.” Crash said in gratitude.

“You can call me Batlado. And just so you know, I’m a girl. Now where are those idiot sisters of mine?” Batlado wondered.

“I knew it. I was totally gonna name you Batlado.” Mikey lied, but Pinkie saw right through it.

“Again, no you weren’t, silly. But whaddya mean sisters?” Pinkie asked in confusion.

“I guess that’ll wait. Thanks for saving me. I’ll help you get to Uka Uka.” Batlado said.

“Any chance you know where our friend is?” Mikey asked.

“Somehow, I know exactly where they are, because I’m sensing a familiar captured snipe with your friend in Uka Uka’s lab.” Batlado answered.

“Lead the way.” Crash said.

“You’ll have to watch your step though, ‘cause it’s a long way down.” Batlado warned them.

“Right. Crabusk, Scorgomid... Mask forms.” Crash told the two giants for their safety.

“You got it, buddy!” Crabusk agreed.

“Okay.” Scorgomid replied as the two giants turned into their mask forms, as the heroes continued on.

“We gotta be waking into a trap.” Dingodile said.

“My brother would do that.” Aku Aku agreed.

“Don’t we always get into traps?” Crash rhetorically asked.

“I know me and my bros do.” Mikey answered.

“Me and my friends too.” Pinkie added.

“It doesn't matter, though. Our friend needs our help and we're going to help her.” Crash declared.

“Indeedy!” Pinkie agreed.

“Booyahkasha!!!” Mikey let out his battle cry.

“If Uka Uka is gonna do what I think he’s gonna do to Sonata, this could spell disaster for us all.” Aku Aku thought in worry and concern for the siren ninja as he and everyone else went deeper and higher into the tree.

Later, Crash and his left the carriage behind and headed to the lab on foot, before Mikey noticed something.

"Dudes, bad news up ahead." Mikey said, pointing towards a pond filled with green liquid as Pinkie grabbed a nearby rock and threw into the pond, with the rock being completely dissolved.

"Gonna take a pass on the acid bath." Pinkie said.

"It's incredible that the tree is handling the acid so well." Micolda said in amazement.

"Watch your step, everyone. We're no good to Sonata if we're injured. We left Stalag with the carriage, so we're down some muscle." Crash warned.

"Hey, mates! I see some stones we could use to get across!" Dingodile said as he pointed to stones that were still standing.

"Let's play hopscotch." Mikey joked as he jumped from stone to stone and got across safely. "Ta-da!"

"Me next!" Pinkie declared as she hopped, skipped and jumped across to the other side.

"Need any help, Dingodile?" Crash offered.

"Nah, I got it, mate." Dingodile said as he used his blow blaster to float in the air across the pond and got to the other side with an extra boost from an air blast.

"Very creative, pal." Mikey deadpanned as Crash had no problem getting across.

"Well, that's that." Crash said as the titans managed to get across as well. "Let's keep moving."

As they went forward, they saw a Voodoo Bunny ran to sound the alarm

"Enemies heading for Master Uka Uka's lab. Must stop! Must stop!" The Voodoo Bunny said.

"Outta the way!" Skunture shouted as she launched stink bombs at the Voodoo Bunny, blinding its eyes and assaulting its nose temporarily. "Guys, we gotta hurry! We're going to have a lot of company!"

The heroes and titans kept moving forward, seeing giant bones and skeletons above the acid down below. "Looks like our way up is across those bones and skeletons." Crash pointed out.

"Whoa…" Everyone else awed except Batlado.

"I know it looks like a citadel in a tree." Batlado pointed out.

"I'm really wishing we had Raph with." Mikey whimpered.

"You and me both." Pinkie agreed.

"Guys, when I say 'Run', run as fast as you can and don't look up." Crash warned.

"Somethin's chasin' us, isn't there?" Dingodile deadpanned.

"Don't... Look... Up." Crash repeated while as much as everyone tried, they looked up and saw a lot of Battlers above them, glaring at them. "Aaaaaand you looked up." Crash dreaded as a Battler screamed and the others swooped down. "RUN!"

"No need to tell me twice!" Mikey and Pinkie shouted.

"Let's get outta here!" Dingodile said as everyone started running as fast as they could, unaware they were being herded into a bowl-like arena.

"Wait a minute!" Solava noticed, but realized too late after everyone went into the arena, the gate closed. "This was all a trap!"

A Scorporilla climbed down and roared as Battlers and Voodoo Bunnies.

"They think that'll stop us?" Crash rhetorically asked as everyone turned to Crash as he drew his Bokken Sword. "Our friend needs our help. And we're going to save her. Who's with me?!"

"Aw yeah, boi!" Mikey answered.

"Of course we are!" Pinkie agreed.

"I'll help as best as I can!" Aku Aku asked.

"It's time to do some good for a change!" Dingodile said as everyone else agreed as they charged towards the enemies.

"Scorgomid, handle the Scorporilla. Everyone, handle the rest!" Crash ordered.

"Dingodile, stun me a Battler!" Mikey said.

"You got it, mate!" Dingodile replied as he spun around rapidly, whacking a Battler with his crocodile tail, stunning it, allowing Mikey to jack it, grabbing onto its back.

"Now let's cause some damage." Mikey-Battler said.

"...I hope you forgive me for this." Scorgomid apologized as she raised her fists and pounded the ground in front of her with her tail and fists, knocking out Voodoo Bunnies and titans, but the Scorporilla remained okay and suckered punched Scorgomid.

"Pinkie, Dust Storm Rocket!" Crash called out as he rushed towards the Scorporilla.

"Smoke bomb coming up!" Pinkie responded as the Scorporilla tried to stomp on a spinning Crash, only for Pinkie to throw a smoke bomb cloud, allowing Crash to launch himself into the air and slam his Bokken sword onto the Scorporilla's head, stunning it.

"Gotcha!" Crash said as he landed right behind the Scorporilla's head and put Aku Aku on its face, jacking it.

"Now, we're getting somewhere." Mikey-Battler noticed as he swatted up a storm, blowing away the Voodoo Bunnies.

"Let's go, Grihoga!" Pinkie declared.

"Okie dokie lokie!" Grihoga agreed as she turned into her masked form, which Pinkie put on her face, fusing into Pinkoga once more. Pinkoga then let out her stunning roar, which Mikey-Battler used to slice the remaining Battlers.

"That's the last of them." Mikey-Battler said before disconnected with the titan.

"That means we can move on upward." Batlado noted.

"Hang on, Sonata. Help's on the way." Crash said.

"We'll get ya outta here." Mikey added.

"And bring you back to normal." Pinkie finished as she and everyone else went forward and up higher into the tree.

Later, Crash and friends were riding through the tree to Uka Uka's lab.

"We just need to go up a couple more floors." Batlado noted.

"We’re getting closer, right?" Crash asked.

"Smells like it, mate. Remember, I know Uka Uka by scent." Dingodile answered.

"And Sonata?" Pinkie added.

"Something tells me she’s there with him." Batlado replied.

"I hope she's okay." Crash said.

"Do you think Uka Uka did something to Sonata?" Mikey asked in concern.

"I hope not." Pinkie answered in worry.

Meanwhile, in a dark place, Sonata was sitting in her cage as her red aura was glowing brighter than the sun itself.

"Comfortable?" Uka Uka asked, only to be answered with a beastly growl. "Perfect. Now be a good little pet and stay in your cage."

A Voodoo Bunny showed up. "Master, the intruders are heading this way."

"Let them come. They will be in for a big surprise. And they will hate it." Uka Uka responded with an evil grin.

Meanwhile, Crash and the others were riding straight for Uka Uka's lab, until Voodoo Bunnies riding Battlers caught up with them.

"Crash, we got company." Mikey said.

"Make sure they get a one-way trip to Defeat Town." Crash ordered.

"Okie dokie lokie!" Pinkie agreed as she and everyone else broke off and went down different routes. Crash sped to edge and launched himself to his pursuers.

"Swordarang!" Crash called out as he threw his Bokken sword after doing his signature twister attack, sending it flying towards the Voodoo Bunnies, knocking them out before returning to the mutant bandicoot. Crash then landed on Aku Aku and was relieved to see the Battlers leaving as Pinkie kept swaying left and right, making it hard for the Voodoo Bunnies to nail her.

"I'm here! Or am I over here? Or am I here? Or here? Or here? Or here? Or here?" Pinkie joked before reappearing under a Voodoo Bunny. "Or perhaps... Under here. Grrrrooooowwwwwllll..." Pinkie said with a feline growl as she kicked the Voodoo Bunnies off the Battlers and latches on to one. "Easy, now. Just get back down." Pinkie soothed as she jacked the Battler, flew back to the ground. Pinkie jumped off the Battler and continue riding her roller skates as Dingodile was running down along with Mikey on his skateboard.

"Care to have a friendly race, Dingo?" Mikey requested with a smile.

"What did you have in mind?" Dingodile asked.

"Let's see who's faster; Me with my board? Or you with your blaster?" Mikey declared.

"You're on, mate! But I'm going to need me a ride." Dingodile accepted as Armalion showed up.

"Hop on!" Armalion said.

"Thanks!" Dingodile replied in gratitude as the hybrid used his air blast to get onto Armalion who rolled into a ball while Mikey served side to side until he launched himself in the air.

"Shell Basher!" Mikey called out as he tucked into his shell and started to spin with his skateboard below him, slamming into a few Battlers, knocking the Voodoo Bunnies off and grabbing a Battler. But one recovered and prepared to strike Mikey, before Dingodile fired his water pistol and knocking the Voodoo Bunny off.

"Am I three for three?" Dingodile asked.

"We even, Dingo." Mikey answered as he landed back on his board, before the duo looked down and saw an army of Voodoo Bunnies heading for Uka Uka's lab.

"Crikey!" Dingodile gasped.

"We gotta meet up with the others and get to the lab first." Mikey urged.

"Darn tootin’!" Armalion agreed as her, Mikey and Dingodile's path met back up with Batlado, Pinkie and Crash.

"Everyone alright?" Batlado asked.

"We got trouble!" Mikey answered as Dingodile pointed to the horde.

"STAMPEDE!!!" Pinkie yelled.

"SHRED FOR IT!" Crash shouted as he got onto Aku Aku, Mikey onto his skateboard, Pinkie onto her roller skates, and Dingodile onto Armalion. The group rode and progressed forward on the path ahead, before spotting a strange tree structure.

"We’re not far now." Batlado pointed out.

"Everyone, full speed ahead!" Crash ordered.

"Choo-choo!" Grihoga cheered in agreement.

"Alright!" Solava agreed.

"Aw yeah, boi!" Mikey added.

"Wahoo!!" Pinkie cheered.

"Time to crank this oven up a bit more!" Dingodile replied.

"We're coming, Sonata. And we ain't leaving without you." Crash said.

"Gonna bring ya back home." Mikey agreed.

"I’ll throw a huge party after we win." Pinkie added.

"Now it’s my turn ta help save ya from Cortex." Dingodile said, ready to pay back his debt to Sonata.

Everyone got inside as the army charged into the roof of the tall building on the tree.

To be Continued…
> Episode 17: Adolt Edumacation
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everyone grot through an open window into Uka Uka's lab, finding themselves in a hallway, leading toward hanging cages, filled with mutants being experimented and tortured, including some Voodoo Bunnies.

"Dude..." Mikey uttered.

"I'm seriously glad Fluttershy isn't seeing this." Pinkie dreaded.

"If Sonata was here, she’d blow a gasket." Crash added as they jumped from cage to cage, before seeing an electric eel/snake hybrid zapping a generator.

"There you are…" Batlado noticed.

"Whoa…" Mikey awed.

"What’s that mutant titan?" Pinkie asked.

"That’s an Ee-lectric, and one I know closely." Batlado answered as she flew towards the titan.

"Zaptrap, it's me." Batlado said to the ee-lectric, causing Mikey's Medallion and Pinkie's Geode to glow, before Zaptrap fired her electricity at Batlado. Pinkie charged to attack, but Batlado stopped her.

"Don't hurt him. She's my sister... My friend." Batlado pleaded, giving the last push to make the magical relics shoot rainbow lasers at the ee-lectric, covering it in a light. And when the light covering the Zaptrap faded, the ee-lectric's scales were moderate purple, had light brilliant aquamarine fins and webbings, dark violet claws on her hands, and had amethyst-purple tribal tattoos on the scales.

"Gah... I know it's you, Batlado." Zaptrap replied as she looked toward Pinkie and Mikey, letting out a scoff. "Tch... I'm only saying this once. Thanks for snapping me out of it."

"You should be thanking my new friends." Batlado said.

"I know that, o' fearless leader." Zaptrap mocked.

"What was that?!" Batlado asked in anger as the two titans stared at each other, only to laugh after a few seconds.

"C'mon, where's that idiot, Vixot?" Zaptrap asked.

"Who?" The Heroes and Titans asked in confusion.

"Our youngest sister. She’s a Snipe." Batlado answered.

"We'll help you find her after we free Sonata." Crash said.

"He's right. Zaptrap, a friend of ours was taken prisoner. Did you see her?" Batlado asked her younger sister.

"Yeah, but we won't be getting there with those electro-gates in the way. But I'll take care of it, destroying electric machines are usually one of my talents." Zaptrap answered as she threw balls of electricity at a generator, destroying it and deactivating a barrier. "C'mon, just follow me." 

Everyone rushed after Zaptrap as Micolda caught up.

"How long we have till that army gets here?" Crash asked.

"My calculations say half an hour." Micolda answered, before Pinkie started shuddering.

"Something wrong, Pinkie?" Aku Aku asked.

"Sorry, am I making you cold?" Micolda added in concern.

"N-N-N-No! It's a d-d-d-d-doozy! I don't know when it'll happen, but it'll happen at Uka Uka's lab!"  Pinkie shuddered.

"A doozy?" Micolda asked.

"Pinkie Pie's Pinkie Sense." Mikey answered.

"That makes no sense!" Micolda yelled.

"Just go with it." The heroes said.

"I just hope it's something good." Dingodile noted.

"What're you guys waiting for? A invitation? I destroyed the next generator, so we need to get moving." Zaptrap urged.

"Grab Pinkie and let's go." Crash ordered.

"Alley-oop!" Crabusk said as he grabbed Pinkie and put her on his left shoulder.

While they were rushing through the lab, Pinkie spotted Ee-lectics ready to shoot them. "Incoming!" Pinkie shuddered before the enemies were suddenly struck by lightning, but there wasn't a cloud in here.

"We don't have time to waste." Zaptraop said as the Ee-lectrics were revealed to be weakened, but not stunned. "Move it!" She urged as everyone followed Zaptrap to a room that was much different from the rest of the lab, seeing eight giant generators that looked too tough for Zaptrap to short-circuit, before noticing Uka Uka.

"So you little insects actually made it. Well, I've prepared a little treat for you." Uka Uka said, making Crash pant a bit as he eyed one of Uka Uka's bones.

"No, probably not food, Crash. A bad treat." Aku Aku said, snapping Crash out of it.

"Oh, it's a bad treat all right. Tell me, Crash, do you remember the Evolvo-ray? Let's see what happens when I use the Evolvo-ray on myself!" Uka Uka exclaimed as he floated under the center of the machine, before getting zapped, causing roots, wood and vines to grow out the back of his head.

"Where's a Markov termite when you need one?" Mikey asked.

"And I want the rest of you to meet my new pets." Uka Uka said.

"N-N-N-N-New pets?" Pinkie shuddered before everyone heard ferocious roars, revealing to be Sonata in her Siren form from Equestria, and Foxer just as big as Uka Uka's new body.

"SONATA!!!" Crash, Mikey, and Pinkie gasped in horror.

"FOXER!!!" The Mutant Titans gasped in fright.

"VIXOT!!!" Batlado and Zaptrap gasped in fear.

"That's right! Your friends have betrayed you and are now under the control of the siren's dark magic!" Uka Uka gloated.

"Everyone, deal with Uka Uka. I'll handle Sonata." Crash ordered.

"No, dude. You take care of Voodoo Forest, we'll help get Sonata and Foxer back to normal." Mikey said.

"No 'if's, 'and's, or 'b-b-b-but's about that!" Pinkie agreed.

"Besides, mate, she helped me join your side, now I'll help her join back ours." Dingodile added.

"Alright." Crash responded smile as he drew his Bokken Sword.

"Mwahahahaha!" Uka Uka laughed with the battle beginning with both Sonata and Foxer roaring ferociously! "Let's see what you've got."

"Let's try electric power." Pinkie declared as Zaptrap turned into an Ee-lectric mask with Pinkie putting it on, turning into Pinktrap, a humanoid Ee-lectric with Pinkies clothing, hairstyle and weapons.

"This sugar might have a tingling sensation!" Pinktrap said as she threw her sprinkles, which exploded with colorful electricity, weakening Sonata and Foxer.

"You mutant reinforcements get in here right now, or I'll punch you all in the clavicle." Uka Uka threatened, making more mutant titans and Voodoo Bunnies show up.

"Swornado!" Crash called out as he spun with his sword and stunned a Ee-lectic, then jacking it with Aku Aku on its face. "Now I have some firepower."

While Crash was shocking Uka Uka, Sonata was doing her Siren Scream at Pinktrap, and Dingodile aimed his Blow Blaster firing Mikey at the giant siren.

"Sorry, Sonata." Mikey apologized as he threw a smoke bomb at the siren's eyes, and whacked Sonata's head with his nunchucks, disorienting the corrupted kunoichi.

"This isn't going too well! Let's get some more evil minions in here, stat!" Uka Uka ordered, making more reinforcements come into the lab.

Crash used the Ee-lectic to send a huge bolt to Uka Uka, stunning him.

"I'm getting my friend back, and you're going to help." Crash declared as the heroic mutant jacked him with Aku Aku.

"Bandicoot on my face!" Uka Uka cried out as Crash made him destroy two generators before he was disconnected from the evil voodoo mask, falling onto Sonata's head.

"Sonata... Time to snap you out of it." Crash simply said.

"Let me help with that, mate!" Dingodile added as he boosted onto the siren's head, before Crash put Aku Aku on Sonata's face, diving into her mind.

Crash wondered in Sonata's mind till he found her human body crying. "Sonata!"

"Crash?" Sonata asked in disbelief as Crash hugged his friend.

"I found you! Now let's get out of here!" Crash urged, only for Sonata to not move a muscle.

"What's the point? I'm nothing but a bad girl. That's why that aura kept being around me." Sonata asked in complete and utter despair.

"Sonata, you're not a bad girl." Crash argued, trying to comfort his friend.

"Yes, I am. Uka Uka gave Adagio the amulets that made us go down the path we went. Being banish from Equestria, turning everyone at Canterlot High against each other, teaming up with the Shredder. Everything terrible thing happened to me and my friends is because of him." Sonata said, completely devoid of hope.

"And you're just letting him use you like this?!" Crash asked in disbelief.

"Why not? A slave serving her master... Makes sense." Sonata answered, having no emotion.

"Sonata, listen. Uka Uka may have led you and the others down a dark path, but you gained so much from it." Crash argued.

"Crash speaks the truth, Sonata." A familiar voice said.

"M-Master Splinter?!" Sonata gasped, seeing the mutant rat's spirit in her mind.

"He's right, mate! Ya helped find me real purpose, so I wouldn't have to think that I had to keep servin' Cortex for the rest o' me days. So do ya know YER real purpose?" Dingodile asked, appearing in Sonata's mind as well.

"C'mon, Sonata!" Mikey cheered, showing himself.

"We're friends, right?" Pinkie asked, showing up in Sonata's subconsciousness.

"Think about everything you gained from changing sides." Crash reminded Sonata as memories flash through her: Befriending Leo and everyone else, redeeming herself to everyone at Canterlot, joining Karai's Foot Clan, getting closer to Adagio and Aria, and now Befriending Crash. "So you staying as Uka Uka's slave or am I getting back one of my best friends?"

Sonata already knew the answer to that, ever since the night she started doubt the Shredder's decisions. "Let's go get outta here, free Foxer... AND KICK UKA UKA'S VOODOO MASK BUTT!"

Back in reality, Crash pried Aku Aku off Sonata's face as she fell to ground.

"Looks like that trick won't work on her. Attack them, my pet." Uka Uka ordered, only to be replied with silence. "What are you doing?! Attack!!!"

"No..." Sonata uttered, much to Uka Uka's shock.

"What?!" Uka Uka gasped.

"You may have been responsible to me and my sisters' banishment, but I won't let you get the best of me anymore!" Sonata declared.

"This can't be happening!!!" Uka Uka dreaded.

"Thanks to all of my friends, I remembered what was important to me! I'll beat you, Uka Uka!" Sonata shouted.

"Rargh! Crash, stop ruining my plans. I spent all day on those." Uka Uka complained as he looked at the pressured minions and titans. "I am so mad at you minions right now! Get in here!" Uka Uka ordered, making more minions and titans show up. Sonata charged at an unflinching Uka Uka, only to be stopped by feather darts, making her turn and find Foxer throwing the last unconscious ally titan aside. "I had a back up plan in case you proved slightly willful as Adagio."

"Grr... Don't you dare mention her name! Not after you took control of my mutant counterpart!" Sonata roared, with that last part catching everyone off guard.

"HUH?!/WHAT?!/EH?!" Everyone else gasped in complete surprise and shock as Sonata used her singing voice, bringing Foxer back to her senses.

"Guh... What...?" Foxer groaned.

"Foxer, you okay?" Sonata asked.

"I... I think so." Foxer answered, before noticing Batlado and Zaptrap. "Batlado! Zaptrap! What're you girls doing here?"

"Looking for you, ya idiot." Zaptrap answered.

"Stop making fun of me, you meanie!" Foxer pouted.

"Now's not the time for that. We have a voodoo mask to fight right now." Batlado pointed out.

"I'd better get some competent help in here soon, or I'm going to have to start repeating myself." Uka Uka said as more minions and titans appeared.

"We need to knock them out before destroying the rest of the generators." Sonata said, before Batlado stepped in front of her.

"Leave that to us. Everyone, get back!" Batlado ordered with everyone got behind Batloda as a twist was combined with Zaptrap's electricity and Foxer's feather darts. "This is what you get for messing with the Twister Sisters! Bat Tornado!"

"Eel Hurricane!"

"Fox Vortex!"

The three attacks combined into a massive twister made of elemental wind.

"You're making me so mad! I just want to be evil. Is that so bad? This is so embarassing." Uka Uka complained.

"STORM TWISTER!!!" Batlado, Zaptrap and Foxer called out at once as the ginormous twister knocked out all of the minions and enemy titans and destroyed the rest of the generators.

"NOOOOOOOOO!!!" Uka Uka cried out as he lost his entire body, leaving only his voodoo mask head while Sonata reverted back to her human form and Foxer shrunk back to her normal size. "You think you've defeated me? I'll get the last laugh on you fools. Any moment now, Nina will launch the robot, and Wumpa Island will be doomed."

"No!" The ninja trio gasped in horror.

"You monster!" Aku Aku dreaded.

"And Nina will have no more use for your lovely sister, so she's finished too. I get the last laugh! Ahahahahahahaha! I'm laughing now too just in case." Uka Uka explained as he flew away.

"Guys, I'm sorry." Sonata apologized.

"Me too." Foxer added.

"There’s nothing to be sorry about, mates. ‘Cause we already forgave the both of ya." Crash said.

"Crash is right, dudettes. Water under the bridge." Mikey agreed.

"And like I said, we’re gonna have a huge party when we get home." Pinkie added.

"Now me debt to ya is paid." Dingodile said.

"I really do hate to break up this touching moment... BUT WE ONLY 5 MINUTES BEFORE THAT VOODOO BUNNY ARMY BURSTS THROUGH THE DOOR!!!" Micolda shouted.

"I have an idea. Anyone else thinking about with all these cages?" Sonata asked with a smile.

"I think I do." Foxer answered with the same smile.

"JAILBREAK!!!" The two declared as everyone destroyed every single cage, freeing every single mutant titan.

But then Pinkie stopped shuddering. “That was it! That’s the doozy!”

“Huh?” Crash and Aku Aku asked in confusion.

“Sonata and Foxer doing a jailbreak. I didn’t expect THAT to happen. THAT was the doozy! Oh, and what a doozy of a doozy it was!” Pinkie explained before everyone heard the voice of a Voodoo Bunny.

"CHARGE!" A Voodoo Bunny ordered as the minions charged into the lab, but 34 seconds later... "RETREAT!" The same Voodoo Bunny ordered as all of the minions ran from the stampede of vengeful mutants that the heroes released and are riding.

"FREEDOM! FREEDOM!" Crash laughed.

"BOOYAHKASHA!!!" The ninja trio let out their battle cry as after the Voodoo Bunnies were ran out, the heroes, titan allies and mutant army rested for a few minutes at the RoadRoller carriage.

"I’m glad we have some help now. A whole bunch of help. But quickly now, everyone. From here, we must travel to the robot. I can sense Coco, so I’ll get us all as close as possible. Get ready!" Aku Aku said as everyone nodded to each other as Aku Aku teleported everyone at the RoadRoller, including the mutant army to the Doominator.

Meanwhile, at the Doominator, Coco was mindlessly working on the machine.

"You terrible, ungrateful child! You’ll never get away with this." Dr. Cortex told his niece.

"Oh, really? And why is that?" Nina asked smugly as her uncle who was hanged upside down, was swinging back and forth.

"I’ll tell you why, this… is my fortress and that… is my robot out there, and…" Dr. Cortex was cut off as she was caught by Nina, stopping him from swinging. "I threw up in my mouth."

"Sorry, Uncle. But with Coco forced to help build the robot, Crash, Aku Aku and the others can’t possibly stop me in time. My Doominator’s almost ready, and when it destroys Wumpa Island, I won’t even let you watch." Nina said.

"Aw, but I love watching things get destroyed! Oh, you’re awful." Dr. Cortex whined.

"Thanks!" Nina responded, laughing with a snort as she spun her uncle around.

> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the top of the base of operations holding the Doominator, the heroes, Aku Aku, titan allies and mutant army appeared with the RoadRoller.

"This is as far as I can take us. We'll all have to fight our way to the robot's interior and save Crash's sister." Aku Aku said.

"Okay!" The heroes replied.

"I'm ready for a fight." Dingodile said as he cracked his neck.

"Shakabla!" Crash agreed in a gibberish tone.

"Go time dudes!" Mikey responded.

"Let's start this party!" Pinkie added.

"We're coming for you, Nina!" Sonata declared before everyone's excitement was interrupted by a bunch of knives nearly impaling them. "What in the?!" She gasped as a bunch of Fox-like creatures appeared ready for battle.

"Bratgirls? Seriously?" Batlado deadpanned.

"Bratgirls?" The ninja trio asked in confusing.

"They’re bat mutant minions that act like high-school girls, not to mention their voices are loud and dangerous with those speakers of theirs." Zaptrap explained.

"And they work for Nina, so no surprise." Foxer added.

"Just makes this a whole lot more fun." Mikey said as he grabbed his nunchucks.

"And knowing Nina, there must be thousands of them along with other mutant titans." Pinkie noted with a hunch.

"Fortunately, we evened those odds back at the lab by freeing the prisoners." Sonata responded.

"We might not have to hold back much." Dingodile added.

"Alright mates, let’s do this!" Crash declared as everyone rushed forward into the Bratgirl crowd.

Dingodile started firing at them while he asked Foxer a question. "Oy Foxer, what was that name Zaptrap and Batlado called you?"

"My real name is Vixot, but my friends and family can call me Foxer." Vixot (Foxer) answered with a smile.

"Not a bad nickname, actually." Zaptrap admitted.

"Somehow that suits you, Vixot. Besides, the Twister Sisters are back together!" Batlado cheered.

"Yeah!" Zaptrap and Vixot agreed as Sonata blocked some incoming knives with her tonfas.

"You know, the Foot Clan could use some security at our base. You three wanna come home with us after this is over?" Sonata asked while whacking some Bratgirls.

"You trippin’? Of course!" Vixot answered.

"Heh, I suppose we could stay at another home." Zaptrap agreed with a chuckle.

"But what’s confusing me, Sonata, is what did you mean by Vixot being your mutant counterpart?" Batlado asked Sonata.

But before Sonata could answer, something latched onto her. "Get off!" Sonata shouted as when she threw it off, it was a Ratnician. "Seriously? You again?"

"When we released the mutants from the lab, we must've stopped the mutant production. Probably not even nothing more than lackeys guarding this place." Crash said.

"Somehow, that makes sense." Dingodile admitted.

"Which means this should be slightly difficult." Mikey realized.

"Or not difficult at all." Pinkie smiled.

"No, Mikey's right. We let these guys swarm us they'll overpower us easily." Crash warned.

"Yeah, if we underestimate the little guys, they'll take even me and Scorgomid." Crabusk agreed.

"Oh dear!" Scorgomid gasped.

"Seems like Nina's underlings are taking us seriously." Orciamond said as Pinkie looked ahead and a counted 36 lackeys from Ratnicians to Bratgirls.

"Hey guys, want do our Sneak Attack Maneuver?" Pinkie asked sneakily.

"Aw yeah!" Mikey answered sneakily.

"They won't know what hit 'em!" Sonata agreed sneakily.

"Wanna clue me in here?" Dingodile asked in confusion.

"We'll explain as we go. The rest of sit back and watch the show." Crash answered as the five heroes disappeared from view.

The lackeys waited for the heroes, but 6 of were knocked out by Crash's Swordnarang move, who caught it perfectly. "I'm giving you all one chance to let me and my mates go forward without giving any of you a concussion."

"Psh! Yeah, as if!" The Bratgirl scoffed as the lackeys were confident in their numbers.

"Bandicoot bad math." The Doom Monkey mocked.

"He's right. It's still 30 against one." The Ratnician agreed, before a blue blur sped in the form of a X and knocked out 6 more lackeys.

"24's still good, mate." The Koo-ala said.

"Oh no, not again!" The Ratnician remembered in fear as an orange blur sped in the form of a shell disk, knocking 6 more minions.

"18 against one still acceptable." The Voodoo Bunny said, feeling a bit rattled as a chain wrapped around 6 more and pulled them around the corner, followed by the sound of punches.

"Nonononono! This isn't good!" The Ratnician whimpered, when the next thing the lackeys saw was a large brown-greenish ball flattening 6 more lackeys.

"Maybe we could discuss this?" The Bratgirl asked, feeling absolutely, before Solava, Sligeon, Grihoga, Vixot, Batlado and Zaptrap approached the last six and knocked 'em out.

"That's just sad. Anyway, nice job with that move, Dingo. Curling up into a ball, honestly didn't see that coming." Solava complimented.

"Oi... Uh, thanks." Dingodile bashfully said  while unknown to anyone, started blushing, before everyone started laughing at how pathetic the minions were.

"If these guys were smarter, they'd be dangerous." Crash laughed.

"Or bigger for that matter." Sonata added as Pinkie kicked a Koo-ala that was regaining consciousness into a wall.

"Or tougher." Pinkie pointed out as Mikey backhanded a Doom Monkey who was regaining consciousness as well, knocking it back to sleep.

"Or faster." Mikey finished as everyone calmed down.

"No wonder you're the Element of Laughter, Pinkie. Anyway, let's get moving, everyone." Crash declared as they were leaving, Dingodile saw a security camera and shot it, destroying the Spybot.

"Got rid of another Spybot." Dingodile said, making Solava giggle a little.

"You sure you're a Dingo/Crocodile hybrid? Or do you have a bit of Snipe DNA in you?" Solava flirted.

"I've always been good with blasters. But it looks like yer no slouch yourself." Dingodile responded, before he and Solava heard giggling and snickering.

"What's going on here? No need to be shy about telling us." Skunture teased.

"Heehee! Stop, Skunture. You already know." Grihoga said.

"Hah. You know I already do." Skunture resopnded, while the hybrid and mutant titan blushed a bit from that embarrassing moment, unknown to anyone.

"Oy, what's the hold up back there?" Crash asked.

"Nothing!" Dingodile and Solava answered, only to blush more realizing they said the same thing at once.

"Then pick up the pace. We got some demo work to do." Crash said.

"Aw yeah, time to blowtonate some stuff up!" Crabusk cheered, saying one of his catchphrases.

"Blow up and detonate, nice!" Pinkie said, knowing that he'll get along with a bandicoot back at Wumpa Island.

"Coming!" Dingodile responded.

"Hey! Don't forget about me and the others!" Solava urged, while in the Doominator, Nina fumed as the heroes and titans ran ahead.

"Grr... If only those goody two-shoes hadn't broken all of the mutants free, they would be having a lot more trouble." Nina growled, making Coco laugh.

"Told you my brother and friends were unstoppable." Coco gloated

"Doesn't help that the Siren girl is still on their side." Dr. Cortex added.

"I don't understand! I thought Uka Uka brainwashed that girl!" Nina said as Coco leaned back in confidence.

"Friendships like those can't be broken." Coco replied smugly.

"Oh, please. Spare me the rainbow barf." Nina scoffed.

"That was our Dingodile fighting with them, right?" Dr. Cortex asked Coco, who just shrugged her shoulders, while Nina picked up on that, not knowing what they're talking about.

"What do you mean, 'our' Dingodile?! Of course that's him, you doofuses!" Nina said

"Could be that Other Dingodile we know." Coco responded.

"Dimensional Travel... Such a headache." Dr. Cortex groaned.

"What are you talking about?! You know what? Never mind. It doesn't matter." Nina said.

"Because you're going to get beaten up?" Coco asked coyly.

"No! Because the Doominator's about done." Nina answered as the mind control device got back onto Coco's head.

Meanwhile, with the heroes and the titans, they decided to hurry up.

"Pick up the pace, people!" Crash urged as everyone rushed ahead, before noticing a large amount of minions in a room.

"Dude, that's a lot of lackeys." Mikey uttered, before Vixot noticed something.

"Wait a minute, this is Nina's room! That means we're getting close!" Vixot cheered.

"Also means..." Dingodile started as he brought out a stash of C4 explosives. "it's time to blow this joint wide open!"

"Ain't going to do us good without a detonator." Crash pointed.

"Why do you think I'm a demolition expert, mate?" Dingodile rhetorically asked as he held out the detonator in his hand.

"This is going to be great!" Mikey cheered.

"Gonna mix in some magic sprinkles to add some color!" Pinkie added, before Crash stopped them.

"Hold it! We get Coco first." 

"Shoot! Forgot about that!" Dingodile, Crash, Mikey and Pinkie realized as Dingodile withdrew the C4 explosives, but left one behind.

"What's the distance with that detonator?" Aku Aku asked.

"Ten miles, mate." Dingodile answered.

"That's far enough." Mikey said.

"But first, we gotta take out those lackeys." Crash pointed out.

"Me and Micolda will take care of them." Solava said, making Micolda gasp.

"You mean...?!" Micolda asked.

"That's right!" Solava confirmed as she slammed her fists into the ground the same time Micolda thrusted her claws into the floor.

"FIRE AND ICE!" Solava and Micolda called out in unison as burning ice spikes and freezing lava sprayed out of the ground in Nina's room, encasing minions in ice and setting them on fire, allowing Crash and the others to charge forward, knocking out the lackeys, making many foes retreated back to the next room.

"Alright everyone. FORWARD!" Crash shouted as everyone charged forward to their path of victory, further into the base, getting closer to the Doominator.

To be continued...
> Episode 19: Minority Rapport
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later, Crash and his friends forged forward ahead into the base.

"There it is! The Doominator!" Crash said as Pinkie noticed where they were gonna enter the Doominator from.

"Looks like we'll be going from the hand, to the brain of the robot." Pinkie informed.

"just means we'll have a lot of fun." Sonata said, cracking her knuckles as Mikey noticed Dingodile leaving something behind.

"Dingo, what are ya doing?" Mikey asked.

"Making sure we take this machine down in one stroke. Since Ah'll be leaving these bombs behind us, once we're done, this place will be blown sky-high!" Dingodile answered.

"Okay, you set up the C4 while the rest of draw their attention away from you." Crash ordered.

"Alright, mate." Dingodile agreed.

"Good luck, bro." Mikey said.

"Just try not to get hurt out there." Dingodile replied as Sonata gave him one of her tonfas.

"Just in case." Sonata said.

"I'll bring this back." Dingodile responded.

"Sonata, you sure about that?" Pinkie asked.

"Yeah, ‘cause it’s hard to use one out of two weapons sometimes." Mikey added.

"I can handle myself well until I get it back." Sonata assured.

"If you say so." Aku Aku said, before a Tonfa-shaped feather dart appeared in Sonata’s empty hand, curtesy of Vixot.

"Thanks to you, Sonata, I can change the shape of my feather darts." Vixot informed in discovery of her new abilities.

"Thanks." Sonata said in gratitude.

"Good luck, Dingo." Pinkie told the hybrid.

"I know, but thanks." Dingodile replied, getting the idea as he ran off in another direction with the explosives.

"Come on, everyone. We got to keep their attention on us." Crash ordered.

"Let's beat 'em and head in there!" Sonata declared.

Later, in the next room, the lackeys waited, feeling completely bored, when Mikey’s shell bashed through them. "Sorry dudes and dudettes, did we leave ya hangin'?" Mikey mocked as the lackeys were about to attack, when Sonata threw several kicks to several of them.

"I don't think so." Sonata denied as a trio of Bratgirls tried to pounce on her, only to get nailed by Crash's Swordnarang move. "Thanks, Crash."

"No problem, mate." Crash replied.

But as they fought, a small drop of molten metal dripped onto Mikey's shell. "YOW! This robots a torture chamber on the inside!"

"Better steer clear of the molten metal." Pinkie advised.

"Micolda, you mind?" Crash asked.

"This'll be hard. I don't know what to do about this." Micolda whimpered, trying to think of something, before a bit of dust from the fighting tickled her nose. "Ah... Ah... Ah... ACHOO!!!" Micolda sneezed, freezing all of the molten metal in the room, hardening them into metal, as Pinkie kicked it to make sure.

"It's solid." Pinkie confirmed.

"Wow. *Sniff!* That wasn't in my calculations." Micolda admitted while sniffing her nose.

"Gesundheit." Stalag responded.

"*Sniff!* Thanks." Micolda said in gratitude.

"At least we can go forward." Vixot added.

"For once, you're right, let's get moving." Batlado admitted, making Zaptrap groan from that.

"Ugh... I think I'll get a headache from Vixot being right." Zaptrap complained, making Vixot growl.

"It's okay, Foxer. I understand how ya feel." Mikey told Vixot in empathy, helping calm her down and smile.

"Hey guys, focus on the situation right now." Crash reminded.

"We can do this!" Sonata cheered, encouraging everyone as they ran ahead and pour the heat on the lackeys.

"Reinforcements requested." A Ratnician called out, making Zombots appear.

"Seriously? These dead bolts again?" Pinkie deadpanned.

"Just means we get to junk them again." Sonata added.

"Yep." Mikey agreed as none of the lackeys knew is that Dingodile's plan was working.

"This plan is goin’ off without a hitch. Once there are C4 bombs everywhere on Doominator, this huge chain of explosions will be like a Killer Queen." Dingodile said as a Zombot stopped by, seeing him and attacked, but Dingodile noticed it first. "Saw that comin’, mate." Dingodile remarked, simply swinging the tonfa Sonata gave him, wrecking the bot as Dingodile finished setting the explosives when he overheard 2 lackeys talking about an ambush.

"Nina wants us to fall back to the Doominator so we can ambush the heroes." A Ratnician ordered.

"Yeah, Nina like, totally knows what she’s thinking." A Bratgirl agreed.

"Scorporilla ready for fight." A Doom Monkey confirmed.

"Crikey!" Dingodile quietly gasped.

"What that?" A Voodoo Bunny asked in confusion, thinking he heard something.

"Gotta warn the others and finish plantin' those bombs!" Dingodile quietly said as he finished setting the explosives and ran off to warn the others.

"Probably nothin', mate." A Koo-ala shrugged off.

Meanwhile, Crash and everyone else were beating the tar out of the lackeys.

"There's just no end to them!" Crash said, when all of a sudden, the lackeys started retreating.

"Huh?" The heroes wondered in confusion.

"Ha! They know they can't beat, so they ran with their tails between their legs!" Skunture boasted.

"Not quite." Dingodile pointed out, surprising everyone by his early appearance.

"What do you mean?" Solava asked in confusion.

"I mean that-" Dingodile was interrupted by a wild roar. "I mean they're setting up an ambush up ahead. And they have a Scorporilla still under their control."

"Dude, they think they can ambush ninjas?" Mikey joked, making Sonata and Pinkie howl in laughter.

"Dingodile, are the charges set?" Crash asked.

"Not all over the Doominator to blow it to smithereens, but enough to make it unfixable." Dingodile answered.

"That's good enough." Aku Aku agreed.

"Everyone to the carriage. We're going to rescue my sister and we're going in hard!" Crash declared as everyone got back onto the RoadRoller, with Armalion ready to pull it.

"YEEHAW!!!" Armalion cheered as they went off.

Meanwhile, Nina was tracking the heroes.

“It's a good thing I captured one giant titan and hid it here just in case they got here.” Nina said.

“You’re going to pay for all this.” Coco growled.

“Well, I gave that Scorporilla a bit of a boost to boost its chances of victory. So I don't think so.” Nina retorted.

“You better not have used any of my weapons.” Cortex said.

“Hehe... That depends.” Nina giggled.

Back with the heroes, they charged forward inside the Doominator on the Roadroller.

“Okay, according to this map I got, we going to... The outside of the other arm which leads to the head?!” Pinkie gasped

“Guys, remember. Cortex was the one who originally designed this.” Dingodile reminded.

“We know that, but Nina's the one who's finishing it.” Crash replied, before everyone heard the same wild roar again, which revealed itself to be a Scorporilla wearing a mechanical suit of armor.

“WHAT THE?!” Sonata gasped.

“OH NO!!!” Scorgomid dreaded as everyone saw Sonata's rage rising.

“Sonata, listen. Don't go back to your anger.” Crash advised, calming Sonata down.

“You're right, I won't go back!” Sonata agreed.

“G-G-G-Grooviona?!” Scorgomid gasped, catch her friends’ attention.

“Wait, you know that Scorporilla?!” Skunture asked the Scorporilla.

“Y-Yes. She's my... cousin.” Scorgomid answered.

“HUH?!” The heroes and titans gasped, caught completely by surprise as Grooviona roared in rage.

“What have they done to you?” Scorgomid dreaded.

“Nina must've put those on her to cause more trouble for us.” Micolda realized as Grooviona brought out a Wrist-mounted blaster and started firing.

“Tch... I'll fry that armor off but not enough to hurt her.” Zaptrap said as she sent a low power current, only for it to bounce off and nail Stalag.

“YOW!” Stalag yelped.

“So much for that idea.” Zaptrap deadpanned as Solava sent out a fault line, only for it to be stomped back, stopping the attack dead in its tracks.

“It's like that armor supercharged it!” Solava said.

“Maybe this?” Pinkie asked as she held out a fruit that looked like a vine of grapes, except the vine looked like a fuse.

“Gah! That's a fruit bomb!” Crash gasped.

“It packs a real punch!” Dingodile added as Pinkie threw it, which exploded on contact with Grooviona, blowing that armor right off.

“Go for it!” Pinkie cheered.

“Swornadorang!” Crash called out as he threw his Bokken Sword, making circle around Grooviona's head, making the Scorporilla dizzy long enough for Mikey to jack her, snapping her out of it.

“Grooviona?” Scorgomid whimpered in concern.

“Ugh... Total wipeout... Wait, Scorgomid, that you, dudette?” Grooviona asked.

“Um... Yes?” Scorgomid hesitantly answered as Grooviona grabbed Scorgomid in a big hug.

“I'd know that shy personality anywhere, little cousin! And whaddya know? Crash Bandicoot! I've been hearin' about ya since I've been surfin' on the waves!” Grooviona noticed.

“Sweet.” Crash responded with a smile.

“And these must be your new friends.” Groovioma presumed before noticing Crabusk. “Whoa, that's some hunk mutant you got there, little cous. When's your first date?” She teased with a tiger growl.

“GROOVY! It's not like that at all!” Scorgomid whimpered in embarrassment, but Grooviona noticed that blush on her face a mile away, making Sonata and some of the others laugh from that.

“What's going on? Huh? Huh? Huh?” Grihoga asked with a smile.

“As much as I would like to continue this, we've got some work to do.” Crash said.

“He's right. Besides, now we got three giants.” Batlado added.

“Let's do some damage!” Crash declared as the heroes and titans charged along with Armalion driving the Roadroller to the hand of the arm.

Meanwhile, with Nina, who was working on the control panel...

“Your brother and friends are close, but they're oh-so far, blondie. The Doominator is finished.” Nina gloated.

“What are you telling me for? You made me finish it.” Coco deadpanned.

“Now we've got an appointment to smash Wumpa Island flat!” Nina said.

“Not Wumpa Island! Our house is there, and all our stuff! Oh, and... maybe Crunch.” Coco whimpered.

"Yeah. And I... can't... wait. Dingus, doofus, time to start the fun." Nina declared as she activated the commands on the robot.

To be Continued...
> Episode 20: Revengeance 2: The Revengicide
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lackeys in an empty room were starting to get impatient from waiting for the heroes.

"Like, when are they gonna get here already?!" A Bratgirl whines when suddenly, every single minion in the room saw the Roadroller burst through the door.

“ROAD ROLLER DA!!!” Pinkie yelled.

While many of the lackeys got clear, plenty of them grabbed onto the carriage.

“Sorry dudes, no hitchhikers allowed!” Mikey jokes as he and Crash hopped onto the top and started whacking them off.

Grooviona grabbed a large oval-shaped metal board. “Surf’s up, brah!” Grooviona said as she surfed through the lackey horde with Sonata riding on Vixot close behind.

“Wow, Grooviona! You must've been a surf champion if you're fighting them like that!” Sonata awed.

“No kidding!” Vixot agreed.

“Gotta do what you love, dudettes.” Grooviona said, when Mikey got an idea.

“You three thinking what I'm thinking?” Mikey asked with a smile.

“I think I do.” Pinkie answered with that same smile.

“Same here.” Sonata agreed.

“Ready Aku Aku?” Crash asked his friend.

“As ready as I'll ever be.” Aku Aku answered as everyone got onto their wheels and sped forward.

“Alright, mate. Here Ah go!” Dingodile said as he jumped onto Armalion, who was still rolling, and started to fire at enemies.

"COWABUNGA!!!" Grooviona yelled.

"BOOYAHKASHA!!!" The heroes shouted out their battle cry as the lackeys tries to stop them, but Crash and his friends fought like a well-oiled machine.

"There's the head!" Grihoga pointed out as the heroes and titans saw that they were indeed going to the Doominator's head.

"Well keep pouring on the pressure everyone!" Crash ordered while whacking some minions.

"We’re almost there!" Sligeon said as everyone surged forward to the control room just as the door closed behind them.

"We finally caught up with you now, Nina!" Sonata said, making Nina notice the heroes and titans coming into room as Cortex, and Coco were gathered on a platform suspended with chains.

"Crash? You and your friends get out of my robot! This is my body and my right to choose." Nina yelled.

"Awkward..." The girls uttered.

"Oh, you're going to get some punchy-punch now. Crash! You and your friends come over here and take out this terrible excuse for a niece." Dr. Cortex ordered.

"That's right, guys! Whip her butt and then we'll get pancakes with cherry topping!" Coco added.

"Yahoo!!!" Crash, Mikey, Pinkie and Sonata cheered.

"Ha! That there was funny!" Dingodile laughed as the rest of the titan allies were laughing at that, while agreeing with Coco.

Nina pushed a button on the control panel, releasing Cortex, who screamed as he fell down. "You keep this robot on course for Wumpa Island."

"Yes, Nina..." Dr. Cortex hesitantly agreed as Nina pointed at Coco.

"You just shut up 'cause you're... annoying. And stop talking about pancakes!" Nina shout as Coco blew a raspberry at her. "And as for all of you... I really didn't want to do this myself." Nina said as a mechanical claw lifted her up. "I really wanted one of my idiot underlings to destroy you guys. I really didn't want to get hair all over my clothes." Nina complained as the mechanical claw placed Nina in the seat of a machine. "But if you want something done right... use a giant spiderbot!" Nina finished as the machine was revealed to be a giant anthro furry spider standing with a chainsaw on its left arm and claw pincer on its right arm as the machine roared, snapping its claw hand.

"So, the final boss of our adventure is Arachnina." Pinkie noticed.

"Perfect name." Mikey agreed.

"Hey Sonata, doesn't this make you mad? Come on, join back up with us. Where you belong." Nina mocked.

But all Sonata did was smile at that taunt. "You really think, that I'm gonna join you, just because of my past?" Sonata asked.

"Yeah. I mean, why else?" Nina responded.

"Well you're wrong! You're an idiot if you think I'm gonna go back on your side, 'cause I already know whose side I'm on... With my friends!" Sonata answered, not letting her anger get the best of her anymore.

"Haha! Way to stay on side!" Coco cheered.

"Ugh… Guess I’ll have to destroy you now." Nina shrugged as she started the machine's buzzsaw.

"Just try to get us." Sonata taunted as the Arachnina swung its blade, but everyone scattered.

"Everyone, divide and conquer!" Crash ordered.

"Right!" The other heroes and titans agreed.

"You know, Crash. It's pretty pathetic how you're relying on others to fight your battles." Nina mocked while attacking the heroes.

"It’s called 'working together with your friends.' You should try it sometime." Crash retorted, which means...

"OOOOHH!!!" Pinkie awed, amused by that quip.

"Oh! Nina, you got burned!" Mikey said in agreement with Crash as Nina threw a punch to Crash, but he dodged it easily and did his Swornadorang move.

"My new friends taught me what it means to fight together." Crash declared.

"Oh, you think you and your friends are doing so well, don’t you? Well try these on for size." Nina taunted as she launched her robot's legs at Crash, only for Dingodile to shoot them off course.

"Consider those my resignation letters." Dingodile quipped.

"The same goes for all of us!" Vixot added as all of the titans attacked the Arachnina at once while Nina used her buzz saw as a shield, but didn't see Sonata climbing up from behind.

"Peekaboo!" Sonata said as she kicked Nina, causing her suit to stumble and leaving her left eye swollen shut.

"You'll pay for that!" Nina growled.

"Not if I do this!" Sonata added as she jumped on Nina, forcing her down. "Time to get this showboat off the road!" Sonata declared as she jacked the machine as she saw four gears.

"Ow! Hey! Get the bug spray and get her off!" Nina ordered as several lackeys appeared and attacked.

"I wonder what these gears are for? Whoops!" Arachsonata feigned being a klutz as she purposefully struck one of the gears with the spider legs on the machine's back, destroying the gear.

"Hm. I see you learned to cheat, Sonata. Good for you." Nina uttered as as she pushed Sonata out of the Arachnina, regaining control of the machine.

"My turn!" Mikey declared as he pulled off a boost on his skateboard and went up toward the ceiling. "Up vertico!" Mikey shouted and when he was directly above the Arachnina, Mikey jumped off the ceiling with his skateboard. "Catchin' mad air on the half-pipe!" Mikey said when gravity caught up, he fell and slammed his board onto Nina's head.

"GAH!" Nina yelped in pain.

"Oops! Sorry dudette. Thought your head was the ground." Mikey lied as he jumped on Nina's head, forcing her down once more. "Time to do a little hacking." Mikey declared as he jacked the Arachnina.

"Oh, get him off me, get him off me!" Nina ordered as Arachmikey turned to the second gear.

"Time to be like the Spy-Roach mutant and use the saw!" Arachmikey quipped as he sawed that gear in half, destroying it.

"You'll taste my teenage angst... eventually." Nina said as she shoved Mikey off of the spiderbot, taking control of it back.

"And Pinkie makes three." Pinkie quipped as she popped up right behind Nina, making her jump in surprise.

"What? How'd she get there?" Nina gasped in surprise.

"I'll be borrowing this, thank you!" Pinkie said with a smile as she shoved Nina down, jacking the machine, and turning to the third gear. "Here comes the alligator's bite!" Arachpinkie shouted as she clammed her claw hand on the gear, destroying it.

"Note to self: block." Nina noted as she got Pinkie out of the robot, controlling the robot once more.

Crash was rushing up to the Arachnina. "Like I said, Nina. I may have been able to hold my own in the past. But my new friends taught me the strengths in teamwork..." Crash started as he climbed the machine's arm. "Trust..." Crash continued as he tightened his grip on his Bokken Sword. "And friendship!" Crash finished as he whacked Nina hard enough for her to see stars.

"OWCH!" Nina groaned as Crash jumped on Nina multiple times, forcing her down as Crash put Aku Aku on the face of the robot. "Ugh, somebody get him off me! I don't have all day." Nina ordered as Crash saw a button and pressed it, transforming the robot into a spider form.

"Let's finish this!" Crash said as beams shot out of Aku Aku and the machine's eye, destroying the final gear. But then he noticed the robot starting to malfunction. "Time to go!" Crash said as he and Aku Aku got away from the machine as its head exploded, sending Nina to the floor.

"My turn." Dingodile declared with a nasty smile as he sucked in Nina and fired her at the wall.

"Darn you... Bandicoot..." Nina cursed as she slowly slid down the wall as Crash pushed a button, freeing Coco.

"You did it, guys! Thanks, big brother." Coco said in gratitude.

"Oh, gross. Get a room." Dr. Cortex gagged.

"Jerk." The heroes and titans uttered.

"But now we have to stop the Doominator before it destroys Wumpa Island!" Coco said as Dr. Cortex jumped down to their level.

"You simpletons. The Doominator cannot be disabled so easily." Dr. Cortex boasted.

"Well, I could do it in seconds if I had my transpalooper. ...The purple thingy?" Coco said.

"Oh yeah!" Crash remembered as he reached into his pocket and pulled out the transpalooper.

"That's it! That's fantastic, Crash!" Coco cheered.

"How long have you had that in your pants?" Dr. Cortex rhetorically asked as Coco inserted the transpalooper into the control panel.

Meanwhile, Crunch was struggling to break free as the Doominator appeared, before it started to topple.

"Oh no!" Crunch gasped as the Doominator crashed to the ground, narrowly missing their house, before a UFO carrying Cortex and Nina flew away from the wreckage.

"Why did you rescue me? I betrayed you, took over your evil plan... then failed." Nina asked.

"Oh, Nina. Betraying me is the most vile, evil thing you could've ever done. You're a skank. I'm... just so proud of you right now." Dr. Cortex said with a happy smile.

"Hooray!" Nina cheered.

"I promise, from now on, I'll be more evil, more villainous, more horrible! HORRIBLE! Oh, and go kill bandicoots too. I'm still going to spank you stupid for this." Dr. Cortex added with an evil grin.

"Aw..." Nina groaned.

Back with Crunch, he started struggling again, but this time, broke out of the ice. "Finally." Crunch uttered as a series of internal explosions, startling him before spotting everyone climbing out.

“Let's check the damage. Maybe we can go looting.” Coco suggested.

“Can we loot a frozen yogurt machine? Please?” Sonata begged.

“If you're good.” Crash answered, making Sonata pout.

“Hi, everybody. What the fudge happened out here? Gimme a hug.” Crunch said as Crash, Coco, and the ninja trio came over and hugged him, before smelling Crunch.

“Ew, you smell like bacon.” Coco groaned, making everyone else back away from him. “Our house is okay!”

“Yahoo!” Crash cheered.

“Phew!” The ninja trio sighed in relief.

“*Exhale!* That's a relief. All our stuff was in there. Oh, Wumpa Island... but our stuff's okay! Now let's go home, and eat pancakes!” Coco declared.

“PANCAKES!” Crash cheered.

“CUPCAKES!” Pinkie added in excitement.

“PIZZA!” Mikey said.

“TACOS!” Sonata finished.

“And after we eat, we'll get you guys home.” Coco added.

“YAHOO!!!” The ninja trio cheered as everyone went inside.

After everyone had a heavy meal, and explaining to Crunch about what happened, Coco got to work on a dimensional portal.

"I’ll admit, this isn’t gonna be easy." Coco said.

"I agree, but it's worth a try." Aku Aku replied.

"We trust you." Mikey assured.

"We know you can do it!" Pinkie agreed.

"But don't push yourself too hard. Oh! I forgot to mention, I found some kind of crystal while... Huh?" Sonata said in confusion as she saw Crash, Coco, Crunch and Aku Aku's mouths drop.

"You actually found a crystal?!" Aku Aku asked in amazement.

"That'll help juice up the machine more!" Coco said in excitement as she fused two last wires, activating the portal, with the crystal giving it more power. "Okay... Calculating exact coordinates of your friends, tracing your path when you got here... GOT IT!"

"You guys have everything?" Crash asked.

"All good, Crash!" Mikey answered.

"Okie dokie lokie!" Pinkie answered.

"But uh... I should tell you guys... the three of us aren't the only ones going." Sonata pointed out as more of their titan friends came forward with the Roadroller.

"Wait a minute, don't tell me that..." Aku Aku uttered.

"That's right! Most of us are going with them!" Vixot answered.

"Yippee! Doesn't that sound fun?" Grihoga asked in excitement.

"You good with us taking the carriage?" Mikey asked.

"I was wondering why I made this portal so big, but after seeing all of you here, I'm actually glad I did." Coco said in relief.

"And yeah, you guys can keep the carriage. But first..." Crash started off as climbed on top and grabbed the flag, planting it firmly on the ground. "This flag will stay here to symbolize the friendship we all forged. No matter how far we are, we'll always be friends."

"Whoa..." The ninja trio awed.

"Crash... Thanks, that means a lot to me." Sonata said, crying tears of joy.

"You really made our day." Mikey agreed.

"Now I definitely need to throw a huge party when we come back." Pinkie noted as Dingodile rushed up with some fresh food.

"Something for the road. Don't worry, it ain't any of those nasty food Crash told me about my counterpart. Roadkill Pie... Yuck!" Dingodile gagged, making the ninjas' faces turn a bit green, even though Mikey's already a bit green.

"I think I'm gonna lose my cupcakes." Pinkie groaned, holding her stomach.

"Ugh... You're telling me..." Sonata agreed.

"Is this what my bros felt like after seeing the first pizza I made?" Mikey asked, remembering his brothers’ reactions.

"Don't worry, mates. My version will serve strictly edible food. Only the best ingredients." Dingodile reassured.

"Hey Mikey, lend me you T-Phone." Coco requested.

"Uh... Okay, dudette." Mikey hesitantly agreed as he gave Coco his T-Phone.

"But that Dingodile did say he lived in a bayou swamp." Crash remembered.

"Eh, I wanted to retire somewhere around the beach." Dingodile admitted as Coco started messing Mikey's T-Phone before giving it back.

"So... did you do something?" Mikey asked.

"Just a little surprise when you get home... Or in case my calculations were off." Coco answered.

"They'll work." Mikey said as Coco smiled at her friend. "You sure you don't want to come with us, Aku Aku? We know a active portal to Equestria."

"Don't worry, I already have my own way to get to Equestria." Aku Aku responded as Mikey climbed aboard the RoadRoller.

"Well, tell Meadowbrook I said 'Hello'." Mikey told Aku Aku, with everyone waving good-bye as Mikey and the others rode through the portal.

Meanwhile, Leo and the others were waiting impatiently at April's farm house with the Quantum Masks.

"AGH! I can't take this anymore!" Raph roared.

"That makes two of us!" Rainbow Dash agreed.

"Make that three!" Aria added.

"If Mikey and the others don't appear in three seconds..." Raph started, only for a portal to appear, with the RoadRoller speeding right out.

"Hey everyone!" Pinkie said.

"Never mind." Raph corrected.

"We're back!" Mikey cheered.

"Did you miss us?" Sonata asked as everyone swarmed towards them, until the titans shifted out of their mask forms and got defensive.

"WHAT THE?!" The rainbooms, turtles, ninjas, and dazzlings gasped in surprise.

"Easy, everyone. We're all on the same side." Mikey reassured the others, before they saw the ball driving the RoadRoller uncurled into Armalion.

"I think we deserve an explanation, Mikey." Leo said, before Mikey's T-Phone went off.

"Just a second." Mikey replied before putting his T-Phone to his ear.

"Mikey, please tell me I got the right dimension." Coco requested on the phone.

"Yep, you totally got it." Mikey answered.

"Great!" Coco cheered on the phone.

"Wait, how'd you get my number across dimensions?" Mikey asked.

"I modified your T-Phone to receive inter-dimensional signals from my portal so we can stay in touch." Coco answered on the phone.

"Ooh! Donnie's sure gonna love that!" Mikey cheered.

"What are you talking about, Mikey?" Donnie asked.

"I gotta go." Mikey told Coco on the phone before hanging up. "Have a seat everyone. Have we got a story to tell you guys."

Meanwhile in Equestria, at Hayseed Swamp, Mage Meadowbrook sensed something.

"Huh?" Meadowbrook wondered as a portal appeared and Aku Aku floated towards Meadowbrook.

"Hello, my friend." Aku Aku greeted.

"Aku Aku!" Meadowbrook gasped in happiness.

"To think you were alive, sealed in a place that not even the Quantum Masks could enter." Aku Aku said.

"I missed you so much!" Meadowbrook responded, hugging the mask.

"Forgive me for not remembering about you sooner. Uka Uka erased my memories, and he was also the one who gave those three sirens the amulets. And from what Sonata Dusk told me, she and her sisters fight for good now." Aku Aku informed Meadowbrook.

"I know. And I don't blame you for your brother's evil. I'm just happy to see you again." Meadowbrook said with tears of happiness.

While the good friends caught up in Equestria, Mikey and the girls had finished telling everyone what they went through.

"And that's what happened." Mikey finished.

"To think you met Uka Uka, and fell under his control..." Adagio uttered.

"Adagio?" Aria asked in concern.

"Sonata... I'm sorry. If only I hadn't listened to him..." Adagio sobbed in tears, before Sonata hugged Adagio, catching her by surprise.

"It's okay. I just remembered everything I gained from his actions." Sonata forgived her older sister, also crying as Adagio hugged Sonata back.

"So, what about these... Titans. What are we going to do with them?" Raph asked.

"They're gonna be staying with us, sillies." Pinkie answered with a smile.

"HUH?!" The rainbooms, turtles, ninjas, and dazzlings gasped in surprise once more.

"Yeah, these guys kind have a bit of our personalities in them. So we figured it'd be better for them to stay with us." Sonata confirmed.

"Some guard dogs... Or fox, eel, and bat, might be handy." Karai admitted.

"Oh! Uh... I forgot to mention, the reason they have a bit of our personalities is because they're actually the mutant counterparts of the me, my sisters and the Rainbooms." Sonata added, feeling a bit nervous about the incoming reaction.

"EEEEEEHHHHHH?!" The rainbooms, turtles, ninjas, and dazzlings gasped in surprise one more time, starting to annoy Mikey.

"Dude, this is starting to get old." Mikey said.

"It's okay everyone, we were surprised by that too." Pinkie responded.

"So, which Titan is who?" Donnie asked.

"I’ll take care of this." Mikey said before taking a deep breath. "Solava, the Magmadon is Sunset Shimmer, Micolda the Ratcicle is Twilight, Skunture the Stench is Rainbow Dash, Armalion the RhinoRoller is Applejack, Orciamond the Whalephant is Rarity, Scorgomid the Scorporilla is Fluttershy, Grihoga the Goar is Pinkie, Batlado the Battler is Adagio, Zaptrap the Ee-lectric is Aria, and Vixot the Snipe is Sonata." Mikey informed, before letting out an exhale heavily. “Pinkie Pie makes this look easy.”

"But you can call me Foxer." Vixot added.

Later, while the titans were introducing themselves to their respective mutants, getting along pretty well, the Quantum Masks floated toward Mikey and the girls.

"You must be the Quantum Masks Aku Aku told us about." Sonata presumed.

"Yeah, that's us." Lani-Loli answered.

"I knew you were gonna come back perfectly fine with some new friends staying in your world." Kapuna-Wa added.

"Too bad you guys can't go back home." Donnie sadly said.

"WHAT?!" The goofball trio and titans gasped in shock and fear.

"Bishop said the Wumpa Island you guys went to is in the path of Quarantined Earths..." Donnie answered.

"Post-apocalyptic?" Sonata started the question.

"Alien Occupation?" Pinkie added.

"Nazi Control?" Mikey finished the question.

"Not sure, not sure, and most likely. Since I don't know the coordinates, it's too dangerous." Donnie answered.

"We can help with that." Lani-Loli said.

"That's right. Always look on the bright side." Ika-Ika agreed cheerfully before turning upside down. "But it might not work." Ika-Ika gloomily said with doubt.

"How?" Donnie asked.

"Device... Give." Akano simply said.

"Like I said before, short and to the point. Love this guy." Lani-Loli said, still liking Akano's personality. Donnie held out his device as the Quantum Masks sent a surge of energy into Donnie's Portal-Projector. "There. The coordinates are set and programmed into your device."

"That means we have a shortcut to Crash’s world!" Donnie said in excitement.

"Yeah!!!" The titans cheered.

"Thank you." Sonata said in gratitude.

"Hey, you helped save Crash’s world, recover Aku Aku’s memories and free the titans for Dr. Cortex’s control. It’s the least we could do." Lani-Loli replied.

"We better get going." Kapuna-Wa added.

"It was wonderful seeing you all." Ika-Ika cheerfully said before turning upside down. "It was depressing." Ika-Ika said with a depressed sigh, before turning right-side back up.

"Bye…" Akano simply bid farewell.

After the Quantum Masks left through a quantum rift, the trio collapsed from exhaustion.

"Come on. Let's get you three to bed." Leo said.

"You must’ve had quite an adventure." Sunset noticed.

"Normally, I wouldn’t believe that, but after all of this, I don’t doubt it one bit." Twilight admitted.

"Hehe… And this is why I’m the oldest sister." Adagio quipped as none of the trio argued and gladly followed everyone to get some rest.

To be Continued…
> Epilogue: Crash of the Ninjas
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two weeks later, Mikey was leaving the lair, only for Leo, Raph and Donnie to stop him. "Going somewhere, Mikey?" Leo asked.

"Just going to meet up with Pinkie and Sonata." Mikey answered.

"For what?" Raph added.

"Coco called me and told me that Dingodile is opening his diner today. The three of us agreed we were going there for moral support." 

"That explains why you skipped dinner." Donnie noticed.

"Think we can tag-along?" Leo asked.

"Of course you can! In fact, everyone else can come along too!" Mikey answered.

"Even us?" April added as she and Casey walked into the lair, having heard everything.

"Sure. We were going to meet up at the farmhouse anyway. But we have to use the Roadroller Carriage. The is island doesn't have any streets." Mikey said as he, his brothers, April and Casey later arrived at the farm, only to find Pinkie Pie with the rest of the girls. "Guess I'm not the only one who couldn't sneak away unnoticed."

"Hey, they wanted to come along with us, which we definitely couldn't say no to!" Pinkie responded.

"Besides, ever since that encounter with Uka Uka, Adagio's been a bit more worried about me." Sonata added.

"I'm your older sister, Sonata, so of course that made me worry a bit more about you." Adagio said as everyone found Sonata had brought her sisters, Karai, and Shinigami along as well.

"Relax, Sonata. Once she meets Crash, she'll calm down." Aria reassured.

"I also remembered to bring our Gift to Crash." Pinkie said as she held out an orange box with blue ribbons and leaf-green glitter.

"We thought we should give something to Crash as thanks for helping you three goofballs." Sunset explained.

"Perfect. Okay Donnie, fire the portal projector." Mikey said.

"Enter the coordinates and... POW!" Donnie shouted as he used his portal projector to open the portal to Crash's world. "Instant shortcut around quarantine dimensions." Donnie declared as everyone, including the Titans, climbed aboard the Roadroller and crossed the portal.

Meanwhile, Coco and Crunch were playing cards when the portal opened up.

"What the?!" Crunch gasped.

"A portal?" Coco wondered as the Roadroller plowed through and stopped "Guys!" Coco said as Crunch got defensive when he saw unfamiliar faces.

"Crunch, dude, relax. They're on our side." Mikey reassured, catching the two siblings' attention.

"Mikey, Pinkie, Sonata!" Crunch said.

"You came back!" Coco added as the trio hugged their friends, with everyone lowering their weapons. "Who are they?"

"My bros." Mikey started.

"My sisters." Sonata continued.

"And our friends!" Pinkie finished.

After proper introductions were given, Mikey noticed something. "Hey, where are Crash and Aku Aku?" Mikey asked.

"Aku Aku went to Equestria. Said Meadowbrook had a surprise event for him." Coco answered.

"And Crash?" Sonata added.

"He wanted to get some training in. We'll pick him up on the way." Crunch answered.

"Sounds great, ‘cause we got a present for Crash!" Pinkie cheered as they went off to find Crash.

Meanwhile, Crash leaned in a rushing position as he flipped a switch and Training Dummies dressed up as lackies sprung out.

"And... Go!" Crash yelled as he pressed a stopwatch while rushing forward.

Everyone found Crash rushing through his training course.

"We might've sparred with him a bit while we were here." Mikey said.

"I thought we were missing a Bokken Sword." Leo noticed.

"He's got some skills." Aria admitted as Crash did his Swornadorang move on a launched dummy and caught it perfectly.

"His reflexes are not bad." Twilight added as Crash rushed towards the Dr. Cortex dummy and kicked it into the air, before launching himself up and whacked it with his Bokken Sword, and threw the dummy to the ground.

Crash checked his stopwatch and it read 6.47 minutes. "Phew... What a workout." Crash sighed with a wipe on his forehead.

"A+ work, buddy!" Mikey praised, making Crash notice as he saw his three best friends sliding towards him.

"Sonata! Mikey! Pinkie! You're here! And you brought the titans with you!" Crash noticed.

"That's not all who we brought." Sonata added as Crash saw everyone else sliding down.

"Hello, everyone. Don't bother introducing yourself, my friends talked about you all a lot." Crash assured as he started pointing at everyone. "Leonardo, Donatello, Rapheal, April, Casey, Karai, Shinigami, Adagio, Aria, Twilight, Sunset, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy." Crash correctly pressumed, making the aforementioned heroes' jaws drop in amazement.

"Pinkie really doesn't miss a detail, does she?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"They really did miss you guys while they were here." Crash answered, making everyone feel touched. "Come on. Dingodile about to open his diner and I'm starving."

"But we got a present for you." Pinkie said, catching Crash's attention.

"Really?" Crash wondered as Pinkie gave him the box. "I wonder what's in it." Crash wondered as he opened the box, finding a pair of blue Ninjustu Boxing Gloves.

"Figured you might want to still to fight with your hands." Pinkie said.

"So I looked through the Foot Clan weapons and thought you might them." Sonata added as Crash tried them on and they fitted his hands perfectly.

"Alright, mates! Thanks a lot! This'll put a more BAM in my spin attack!" Crash said in excitement.

"Can we get to Dingo's Diner opening? I'm starving." Mikey responded in hunger.

"Yeah, Aku Aku said we should go ahead. He told me he'll be a while." Crash answered.

"Still catching up with Meadowbrook?" Sonata asked.

"Told me about a special meeting." Crash answered.

Meanwhile in Equestria, the Pillars gathered together.

"So Meadowbrook, who's this special friend you wanted us to meet?" Star Swirl asked.

"Well, this is a friend of mine, who is still alive since we went into the Limbo, Aku Aku." Meadowbrook answered as Aku Aku floated up to the other Pillars, making them jump back.

"Meadowbrook, did one of your masks actually come to life?" Rockhoof asked in shock.

"No no, I’m actually a spirit who fused with a voodoo mask from another world. I’m just one of Meadowbrook’s friends." Aku Aku answered as Star Swirl used a spell.

"He's telling the truth. I sense the magic on him." Star Swirl answered.

"Well, it's nice to meet you, Aku Aku." Somnambula greeted as Mistmane used a spell as well.

"I detect a memory spell wearing off in him." Mistmane said.

"Memory Spell?" Flash Magnus asked in confusion.

"After you and Meadowbrook defeated the sirens, my evil twin brother, Uka Uka, erased my memories of Meadowbrook. He was also the one who gave those sirens the amulets. But don't worry about those three sisters anymore, they're now allies." Aku Aku answered.

"We know." Stygian agreed.

"I thought those amulets weren't of Equestrian origin." Star Swirl remembered.

"Wait a minute... I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but how did you know the Siren Girls are on our side now?" Rockhoof asked in suspicion.

"Because the blue one, Sonata Dusk, has helped save my world." Aku Aku answered.

"He told me about an adventure that Michelangelo and Sonata went through." Meadowbrook explained.

As Aku Aku shared his story, Crash and everyone arrived at Dingo's Diner.

"Dingo! We're here!" Crash called out.

"'Bout time!" Dingodile responded.

"All of us." Mikey added.

"Mikey, Pinkie, Sonata... I was hoping you three would make it." Dingodile said with a smile.

"Whoa. You weren't kidding when you said you met a dingo crocodile hybrid mutant." Twilight awed.

"Honestly, that reminds me of Justin." Leo remembered, catching Dingodile's attention.

"What? Who are they?" Dingodile asked.

"These are our family and friends; Leo, Raph, Donnie, who are Mikey's brothers, April, Casey, Karai, Shinigami, Twilight, Sunset, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, who are my best friends, Adagio and Aria, who are Sonata's sisters." Pinkie answered with a *Squee!*.

"Alright, any friends or family of my pals are cool with me." Dingodile replied with a smile.

"Ah’m honestly kinda curious of wha grub ya got here." Applejack admitted.

"Come on in and see. And nobody worry about the bill. Grand Opening is free!" Dingodile said.

"My! How generous of you!" Rarity gasped in astonishment as everyone walked in and found titans eating.

Everyone had a seat and took a look at the menu as a Snipe Titan waiter showed up. "Welcome to Dingo's Diner. What are your orders?" The waiter asked.

"50 Cheese Pizza for me and my brothers." Leo answered, surprising the waiter.

"That much? May I ask why?" The waiter asked in confusion.

"It's on the menu." Leo answered.

"Oh, right." The waiter remembered.

"Wumpa Island Chili Dog." Casey said.

"Spicy Cheese Nachos." Aria said.

"Season Salad." Fluttershy said.

"Wumpa Fruit Tacos." Sonata said.

"Homestyle Hamburgers." Rainbow Dash said.

"Apple Fritters." Applejack said.

"Wumpa Island Sushi." Karai said.

"Make it two." Shinigami added.

"Veggie Burger." Rarity said.

"Wumpa Hot Fudge Sundae." Pinkie said.

"Wumpa Fruit Pie." Crash said.

"Wumpa Fruit Smoothie." Coco said.

"Wumpa Island Steak." Crunch said.

"And I'll have some spaghetti." Adagio finished as the waiter left everyone looked at the titans around them.

"I still can’t believe that Solava is my mutant counterpart of this world." Sunset said in disbelief.

"Here’s a something a little juicier, Solava has a crush on Dingo." Sonata whispered to Sunset, making everyone snicker while Sunset blushed with Solava.

"Man, you guys weren't kidding about these titans." Raph uttered.

"You mean the giant ones? Especially the Shellephant, Crabusk, who Scorgomid has a crush on?" Mikey asked, making Fluttershy gasp in surprise with a blush for her counterpart.

"I mean overall. All these guys you freed." Raph clarified.

"I don’t blame ya. I mean this is a lot of titans we saved. We also freed a Yuktopus." Pinkie answered, but before anyone could ask, said titan walked in for his take out order.

"Order up!" The Snipe waiter said.

"Thanks." Donnie said in gratitude as everyone got their food, Crash was still cautious of the food.

"Relax, big bro. Everyone here is practically scarfing their food down." Coco told her brother.

"You're right, it's not like the other Dingodile. Right?" Crash wondered as he tried a bite of it, and when he did, his eyes snapped open.

"Uh, Crash? You okay?" Coco asked in concern.

"Thi-This is... AMAZING!!!" Crash said in utter amazement as everyone started eating and practically had their eyes open wide.

"DELICIOUS!!!" Everyone else agreed.

By the time everyone finished their foods, everyone was stuffed and happy. "Oy, everyone enjoy their meals?" Dingodile asked.

"HOO-WEE! That food’s got some zang to it!" Applejack answered.

"I couldn't eat another bite." Mikey groaned in satisfaction.

"Sorry I was so hesitant, buddy." Crash apologized.

"Forget about that, mate. You had every right to be cautious." Dingodile responded.

"Wait, you were scared to try the food? Why?" Fluttershy asked in concern.

"Yeah, I mean, come on! This stuff is great!" Rainbow Dash agreed.

"Let's just say we ran into a counterpart of Dingodile who's sense of taste was uhh..." Coco trailed off.

"Disgusting?" Dingodile guessed.

"Yeah. That. Sorry." Crash confirmed.

"No biggie about that, mate. I couldn't believe it either. Seriously, Roadkill Pie? That's just plain gross!" Dingodile gagged, making everyone start getting sick from the mention of that. "Relax, everyone. I used edible ingredients."

"We better get moving." Crash said.

"Hey Crash, you sure you don't mind us staying at your place for a short while?" Leo asked.

"Sure, mates. Besides, with the Doominator permanently out of commission and not leaving Wumpa Island anytime soon, you can stay there." Crash answered.

"I could do some salvaging." Donnie admitted as everyone climbed into the Roadroller and headed back. After everyone got situated in the Doominator, they fell asleep from a full stomach. Except for Leo, who saw Crash putting the flag on a longer and stronger pole.



"What are you doing, Crash?" Leo asked.

"Oh, Leo. I was just securing the flag Pinkie made." Crash answered.

"It looks cool. Thank you." Leo said in gratitude.

"For what?" Crash asked in confusion.

"For helping Mikey, Pinkie, and Sonata." Leo answered.

"They're my best friends. I wasn't going to leave them high and dry." Crash responded.

"They also told me about how you lead them to victory." Leo added.

"Like I said, I just believed that we'd win if we worked together." Crash replied.

"Haha. You really are leader material. I'm sure you'll do great!" Leo said.

"Thanks. You know, Mikey and the girls told me you're pretty good with dual Katanas." Crash remember as he putted on his new Ninjutsu boxing gloves.

"Are you saying what I think you're saying?" Leo assumed.

"Just a friendly match." Crash answered as he drew his Bokken Sword.

"Alright, but since you're normally a hero in this world, I won't go easy on you." Leo warned as he drew his katana swords.

"Let's just not kill each." Crash said.

"Agreed." Leo responded as the two ran toward each other and swung their weapons, leading to a clash to begin the battle!
