Aku-Aku and Crash continued towards the bay. When the two got to the bay, they saw Tiny standing there.
Aku-Aku stated, "Well, if it isn't the strong and smart Tiny Tiger."
Tiny responded, "Hey, you take that back!"
Aku-Aku replied, "Okay, okay. You're not smart."
Tiny said, "That's better."
Crash gibbered something to Aku-Aku that sounded like, "Didn't you just...?"
The mask said, "Wait for it."
Tiny realized that Aku-Aku was insulting him and said, "HEY!"
Tiny then started to throw blocks at the two of them. Using his agile body, Crash avoided the attacks with the greatest of ease. Tiny aimed for Crash again with a big block but a blast from a plasma ray gun destroyed the block.
Tiny asked, "Where did that come from? Tiny wanna know!"
"It comes from me," said a voice.
Crash turned and saw that Stephen had arrived.
Aku-Aku stated, "Stephen, you better get out of here!"
Tiny added, "Yeah, bad enough that Cortex is gone and Tiny has to listen to confusing Frankenstein man!"
Crash gibbered something that sounded like, "Frankenstein man?"
Aku-Aku stated, "He must mean N. Brio. That means Cortex is innocent."
"And Tiny will make sure that Cortex is avenged," said Tiny.
With that, he got another block ready and threw it at the three heroes. Crash, Stephen, and Aku-Aku dodged the attack. Crash looked at Stephen as did Stephen. The two nodded at the other as Stephen gave Crash a boost. Crash spun around in the air, attacking Tiny with an air spin. Stephen pulled out his plasma blaster and stunned Tiny with it. Crash landed on the ground after doing a cartwheel and the two stood over Tiny, who had been defeated.
Aku-Aku floated over and asked, "Are you two alright?"
Stephen reassured, "We're fine but it is hard to believe that Cortex is gone."
Aku-Aku nodded his head (?) and replied, "Yes, it does seem rather strange. Cortex has mostly or always been behind these attacks on our island. Something is not right."
Crash gibbered something that sounded like,"But Tiny, ironically, never lies."
Aku-Aku considered this and said, "You are right about that. Let us return to Coco and Crunch and see if they have learned anything about these mutants. You are welcomed to come with us, Stephen."
"It would be an honor," Stephen responded.
And with that, the three of them headed back to the Bandicoot house. Unknown to the three heroes, N. Gin had watched the whole thing thanks to one his spy cameras. The rocket scientist was pleased that the word got out to Crash that Cortex wasn't behind the attacks. But, he was a bit mad that they didn't exactly trust Tiny. Then again, Tiny wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. The spy camera then followed Crash, Aku-Aku, and the newest hero on the block back to the Bandicoot house. Upon their return, Coco looked freaked.
"Guys, you got to check this out," she exclaimed.
Crash, Aku-Aku, and Stephen entered the house as Coco shoved over her microscope.
She stated, "The mutants are created from some kind of collagen that only a chemist like N. Brio can get a hold of."
Aku-Aku responded, "Then that means that what Tiny was saying was the truth. Cortex isn't behind this."
Crunch questioned, "But if he isn't, then where is Cortex?"
Aku-Aku stated, "Perhaps Nina would know where he might be and that means that we might need to take another trip to the Academy of Evil."
Stephen turned to Coco and asked, pointing at the microscope, "Do you mind?"
"No, go ahead," Coco answered.
Stephen leaned in and looked at the slide.
Stephen asked, "Coco, have you ever heard of mutagen?"
"That stuff that N. Brio drinks all of the time," Coco asked.
Crunch raised an eyebrow and asked, "That dude drinks mutagen?"
Crash nodded, speaking a little gibberish that sounded like "Yep."
Crunch stuck out his tongue at this as Coco turned to Stephen.
She asked, "Well, what about mutagen?"
Stephen explained, "The mutagen is in the collagen, it won't be long before these mutants become super powerful and almost unstoppable."
"Almost," Coco asked, "What could stop them?"
"Just an antidote made out of these ingredients," Stephen answered.
With that, he handed her a list of ingredients.
Coco smiled and said, "Perfect, this might do it! I'll get to work on this while you guys go see if Nina knows where Cortex is."
Aku-Aku stated, "That sounds like a plan but without Cortex's airship, we can't get there. There are no roads to the school."
Coco replied, "Actually, I just made a transporter that can take you straight to the school!"
Stephen responded, "That's perfect. Let us go find Nina."
Crash gibbered something that sounded like, "Us? You mean you're coming?"
"You bet I am," Stephen answered, "I want to save the island too."
Crash gibbered something that sounded like a "Woohoo."
Coco fired up the transporter and sent Crash, Aku-Aku, and Stephen. N. Gin perked up at these plans. Nina knew that Cortex was gone like the rest of them so there were no way she knew where he was. N. Gin decided to keep this information to himself. 'After all,' N. Gin thought, 'Uka-Uka doesn't exactly have to know where they are going right now. Nina doesn't mean us any harm.' N. Gin then thought of something else. Nina's status was still unknown at this point on whether or not she was an ally or foe. 'Oh no,' N. Gin thought, a bit worried.
