-Okay, I guess I have to go back to my workshop...or lab, or whatever- Coco said just a couple of minutes after entering the hut again. 

She was a girl that could not hold herself to do nothing. She always had to be active with something.

-Well, it's your choice. And I respect it, but I'd like to suggest you to take this day in consideration...I mean, look around! The sea, the sun, the trees, the sand...all vibrates in harmony because of life, because of today itself. Maybe you can relax a little today- Said the wise woody-faced spirit.

-Yeah, that is such a valid comment. But I like to create stuff, and always have to be busy with something, because I desperate quickly if not. Perhaps I'll chill down after 3 or 4 hours. There is something I have to try today.

Sighing, Aku-Aku said:

-Okay, my child, but take care anyway with whatever you gotta do.

-Got it! Don't worry about it!-She replied, getting up to the door- Come on, Pura!

The hyperactive tiger cub went after her.

They went out to the yard in a run. Coco´s workshop was actually a medium-sized cabin, next to her home hut. It looked a bit aged, with some cracky trunks, but that made it attractive for her in some way. Like an abandoned cabin no one would be interested in getting inside of it.

Yeah, that was all a layer, a make up. Inside that rustical cabin, a high-tech gear lied around and on the walls: monitors, motherboards, processors, microchip cards, hand-made servers and her pinky laptop, of course. Many of those stuff were built by herself, using scrap of inventions made by Cortex and ruined up in match by match she and her brother had against his twisted evil genius and his flying mask.

-Okay, I have to restart the development of the ORSA project...and improve the alert devices around the island. That was such a disappointing performance they had.

She grabbed her tools and her notebook. She was like an awaken dreamer, sketching and editing her ideas on paper once they got inside her mind.

-Pura! Stop messing around! I got a toy for you on that corner!

The little cub was playing with a spheric piece of...something. Scrap before getting into Coco's skillful hands. That toy looked like a scarecrow, built up from old steel plates and cushions. It looked attractive to scratch, she thought.

-Ok, back to biz.

Meanwhile, Crash was laying on the grass near the door. He seemed like he wasn't very smart the most of times, but he liked to do things that seemed smart... the most of times.

The wind was blowing, making the falling leaves form swirls in the air. Branches cracking softly...

Crash and Polar went running through bushes and puddles. Laughter invaded the surroundings. He was happy.

The white cub was like a dog: playing with his fellow with a natural joy and an abnormal amount of energy.

After a while of playing, there was a crumble around the bushes. The movement was becoming more frequent and more sonorous. Then a big shape was showing up, with sharp fangs and a prominent smile; then, a little shape appeared among the shades.

-Cra-Cra-Crash Bandicoot!- Said the minor shape with a cybernetic tone.

-ME wants to play with tiny Bandicoot...

Then a clip sounded, and Crash´s face went from mindless joy to surprise and horror.

Meanwhile, in Coco's high-tech workshop hut

-Okay, the sensor of bioelectronic impulses is working correctly. Now let´s check the articulations and the engines.

Okay, this is kinda top-secret, but Coco was working on a recognition project: the O.R.S.A project (Optimized Research for Supplies Android). Although it was named android, it didn't have human shape. It looked like a jackal, but it was awesome: its fine shape was supposed to allow it to move fast from one strategic point to another in a map, all iin pro of an effective gathering task of food, scrap and any useful resource from the surroundings in Wumpa Island.

She also got sensors installed all the way on key spots, to detect signals of the crystals, wherever they were and whatever they did at any time. But they also worked as alarms. One got activated by the battle events in the forest.

The screens went red, the crisis alarm ringed and Coco was up to check it out.

-What have happened? Everything was so quiet recently...Turn camera broadcast on!- Coco said.

Her systems where programmed in a smart way that attended voice commands.

The image went on the screen and she saw a maniac chase: his brother and Polar were avoiding booms on the run, while a curious and problematic couple chased him with shoots and laughter.

NGin and Tiny Tiger.

-You can´t be serious...- She sighed, clearly disappointed. And mad.

She left the cabin, sprinting. Her striped fellow just went after her once she crossed the door.

-Aku-Aku...trouble! Trouble again!-she yelled while she was getting closer to the coast. To the hut.

The wise mask heard her and came out to see her.

-What happens, child? What´s the matter?

-Dammit!-She cursed when she arrived, exhausted.-Sorry for that, but we are under attack! NGin and Tiny tiger are after Crash! I saw them on the forest, through my security cams!

-Oh no! Let´s go after him now!

-Yes, right!-She exclaimed!

After they coordinated they headed to the entrance of the forest, but after a couple of steps, Crash appeared, really tired, holding Polar in his arms. When he saw them he felt relieved and fell on the ground, exhausted.

-Crash, are you okay?-She went to aid him. Pura went near them to see.

Even fainted on the floor, his face was funny. But the situation clearly wasn't. 

She checked his brother looking for injuries. He was right.

-Come on, get up! We gotta go back!-She exclaimed. Crash!

While they were getting back on their feet, some shaking and cracking among near bushes put them on alert.

A hard stomp on the ground, followed by growls and fangs shining. 

-So, Bandicoots step on Tiny's path again! Tiny wants to crush Bandicoot bros.

-A-aa-aand you're not the o-oon-ly one.

Those voices and faces...so familiar.

-Great! Just another headache now!-Coco whined.

A sudden quiet invaded the scenario. There will be a confrontation, and an epic one.
Oops! I forgot to upload this one...the 4th chapter of my fanart-inspired story.

Hope you like it! :D
