Stephen, Crash, and Aku-Aku were transported in front of the Academy of Evil.
Aku-Aku informed, "Stephen, Crash and I were here before a few months ago so it is best if you stick with us."
Stephen was about to agree when the guard dogs came over to them.
Stephen said, "Oh shoot." Stephen pulled out his plasma ray gun and blasted the guard dogs. Stephen stated, "You better go ahead and I'll hold them off."
Crash gibbered something that sounded like, "Are you sure?"
Stephen nodded and answered, "Yes, go!"
Crash and Aku-Aku obeyed Stephen's orders and ran into the school. Crash and Aku-Aku entered the school, still running from the guard dogs. However, when the evil students saw the two heroes and started to chase them, trying to get them to leave. Crash was running as fast as he could and Aku-Aku was - I guess you can say - was floating as fast as he could. Finally, the two of them entered a dorm room. Crash saw a shadow of a girl and went over to it.
Crash gibbered something that sounded like, "Nina?"
But instead of Nina, it was a monster ghost that growled at the two of them. Crash screamed in fear as the monster ghost lunged at him. Crash reacted by kicking his legs up. But the monster ghost went right through Crash's legs and grabbed Crash by the throat. Crash started to choke but quickly spun around and threw the monster ghost off of him. The monster ghost floated up towards the ceiling and disappeared out of Crash's line of sight. Crash got back to his feet and waited patiently for the monster ghost to reappear. The monster ghost reappeared behind Crash without the Bandicoot's knowledge.
Aku-Aku quickly protected Crash's back as the protector of the islands pushed the monster ghost back and away from Crash.
Crash gibbered something that sounded like,"Thank you."
"You're welcome," said Aku-Aku as he smiled at Crash.
Crash looked up and saw that the monster ghost had disappeared yet again. Crash looked around and the monster ghost appeared above them but before the ghost could attack, something happened. Nina had entered the room.
"Stop," she commanded.
The monster ghost stopped the attacks automatically, showing its loyalty to Nina. Crash looked up and got a good look at Cortex's niece. She had not change since he had saw her at Von Clutch's Motor World. She was still wearing her school uniform and knee highs. The only big difference was her hair was now past her shoulders.
Nina stated, "Return to normal. Crash Bandicoot means us no harm."
The monster ghost obeyed and turned back into a boy around Nina's age. He had short blonde hair, blue eyes, wearing the same school uniform Nina was, and light white skin.
Aku-Aku asked, "That young boy turned into that monster ghost?"
The boy answered, "Watch it, Aku-Aku. I can do it again if I want."
"There will be no need, Gus," Nina stated as she approached Crash and Aku-Aku, "Crash and Aku-Aku were just about to leave."
Aku-Aku pleaded, "Nina, please. N. Brio has taken over your uncle's evil franchise and we were hoping that you knew where your uncle was."
"Sorry, feathers," Nina replied, in a nasty tone, "But my uncle has disappeared and even I don't know where he is."
Nina walked away from them, not looking at them. The boy named Gus floated over to her and placed his hand on her shoulder. Crash and Aku-Aku heard some crying from Nina.
Aku-Aku stated, "It seems that she is upset about this whole thing."
Gus replied, "Well, if your only family in this world disappeared, you would be upset too."
Aku-Aku responded, "We are sorry about that, Gus. But if Nina comes with us, we might be able to find some clues to finding Cortex."
Gus asked, getting mad, "And why do you want to find her uncle so badly? Because he is a weak villain?"
"We are not saying that, Gus," the island mask insisted.
Before Gus could say anything else, Stephen was flung into the room.
Crash gibbered something that sounded like, "Stephen!"
Stephen got up and the two students, the mysterious man, the Bandicoot, and the island mask saw a slightly thinner version of Madame Amberely.
"You aren't going anywhere," said the principal.
Nina fired her grappling hand straight up to the ceiling and jumped up. Nina swung using her grappling arm and hit Madame Amberely hard with a super kick. She fell back as Gus turned into the monster ghost again.
Nina stated to the principal, "You longer control me!"
Amberely grunted and said, "Just like your uncle. You're a worm too."
"At least I'm getting out now instead of late in the game," Nina replied.
The monster ghost came over to Nina and ghost roared in the principal's face. Aku-Aku was impressed that Nina had such a loyal friend...as was Stephen. Gus turned back to normal.
Aku-Aku stated, "It seems that you two are on our side."
"You know we are," Nina responded.
"And we apologize for not telling you sooner," Gus added.
Crash gibbered something that sounded like, "That's okay."
Stephen went over to Nina and placed his hand on her shoulder. Nina couldn't place it but his touch felt so familiar to her...almost like she knew him.
Stephen stated, "Your mother would be proud."
Nina perked up as did everyone else.
Nina asked, "You know my mother?"
Stephen nodded and answered, sounding like he was going to cry, "Yes and you look just like her."
Nina smiled as she blushed but was snapped back as she saw her robotic hands.
She stated, "Yeah but I'm sure that my mom didn't have grappling hands."
"But that's what makes you special," Gus replied, trying to cheer Nina up.
"Listen to your friend, Nina," said Stephen, "He speaks the truth."
Nina nodded as Aku-Aku stated, "We better get out of here before we get attacked by more students."
Crash gibbered something that sounded like, "Good idea."
With that, they headed out of the school as fast as they could.
