After quite the long walk, the ragtag group found their way through a gate. Once inside, they were met with a bustling city, and a checkpoint in front of them. Crash scratched his head in confusion. What was all of this for? Aku Aku didn't seem to know either, as this world was new to both of them. It did remind Crash of his experience jumping through time with Cortex's time machine, but it wasn't as huge or busy as this. They were then approached by some guys dressed in white armor. Crash was suspicious of them, and he didn't like them. He furrowed his brow as the aggressively at the white armored guard that confronted their female friend. What was their problem? Before he realized, the woman disappeared. Where could she have gone, and why did she leave us?

Either way, this guard was going to get a taste of some wumpa fruit. Crash dug in his pockets for some wumpa fruit in his pockets, giving a sinister smirk before hurling one at the confused guard.

"What the- Hey! That's assault of an officer, Prime! Do it again and you'll be arrested! The guard seemed pretty pissed, most likely giving Crash a scowl before returning to talking on his radio.

Aku Aku, slowly lowered himself to Crash's ear. "Crash, it might not be a good idea to anger the- FLOOP Another wumpa fruit found its mark, smacking the trooper in the back of the head.

"Damn these fucking Primes! Arrest that hoodlum with the orange fur!" On the guard's command, three more white armored men showed up, guns raised at Crash. "Surrender with your arms above your head!

Crash raised an eyebrow. Surrender? What does that mean? Well, it didn't matter. Whatever it meant, he was ready to start smashing some faces. With a quick step, Crash began to spin, causing the soldiers to fire upon him."He's turned aggressive, FIRE!" To their surprise, the lasers bounced right off of Crash, returning to their owners from a short range. The troopers fell to the floor as the bandicoot stopped, charging the last guard that had ordered the men on him.

"Get back prime!" The troops began to fire, but Crash took a giant leap towards his target, until he was directly above him. "What the hell!" For a second Crash seemed to freeze, until he slammed down, crushing the trooper under his stomach. After slowly dusting himself off, Crash took the liberty of doing a victory dance over his groaning opponent. Suddenly, more alarms went off, alerting more guards.

"Now look what you've done Crash!," Aku Aku scorned the orange animal. "Well, now we have to run! Let's go!"

Crash was already speeding down the streets as fast as he could.
