Uprising Phoenix

Chapter 15

Crash, Cortex, and Nina stared at Uka-Uka. Nina wasn't too thrilled seeing the evil mask and neither was Cortex. Crash was the only one that stood at the ready, expecting anything.

Nina hissed, "What do you want?"

Uka-Uka chuckled evilly as he stated, "Don't you get it, Nina? I don't want anything. EXCEPT FOR YOU TO DIE!"

Cortex shouted, "RUN!"

Nina and Crash didn't need to be told twice as Uka-Uka used his dark magic to create himself a body for him to control. It was like the ice version but instead of ice, it was made out of the purest and strongest dark magic. Crash paled at this as he remembered...Mecha Bandicoot. 'I wonder if Coco has finished the repairs on Mecha Bandicoot,' Crash thought, as he kept running, 'There's only one way to find out.' Uka-Uka continued to follow them, throwing dark spheres of magic at them. Cortex and Nina went one way as Crash ran out.

"I'll be back!" He promised his best friend.

'I hope,' he thought. Cortex and Nina kept running, eventually ducking in a hallway.

"Okay, I think we lost him," Cortex stated.

"I still barely trust you," Nina huffed, turning on her heel.

"Oh come on," Cortex protested, "What in the name of God did I supposedly do to you?"

"What did you do?!" Nina hissed, looking at him angrily. "You stood in the Doominator, you died in an explosion, there a new bad ass villain that takes your place, and it turns out that YOU were the bad ass villain the entire time!"

Cortex stated, firmly, "You listen here, niece of mine."

Nina interrupted, "Oh sure, here it comes, the lie of the century."

Cortex started to protest, "Listen here..."

That's when a flash came to him.

-Flashback-

Phoenix's POV

I was on the roof, after attacking N. Gin. Boy, that was fun. However, that's when I sensed something behind me. I heard a light swoosh as I quickly moved my head. That's when I saw Nina's grappling hand. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw her gapping at my skill. 'Oh, she hasn't seen nothing yet,' I thought, smirking. That's when I ran towards her in a fast fashion as she did a rolling kick. I went underneath the kick, bringing out a long knife. I saw her pale as I stabbed her right in the stomach. Oh man did that feel good. Nina groaned as she dropped to the ground in pain, clutching he stomach. I walked over to her as she was bleeding pretty badly.

"Funny," I said, in a dark and cold voice, "Out of all the people that I met...I never thought YOU would be the one to attack me."

"So you knew one of us was coming," she asked, sounding like she was getting mad and weak.

"My money was on N. Gin but you were my second choice," I answered, looking at her. Nina snarled as I smirked evilly. Oh this was going to be a fun kill. All of the sudden, Nina used her grappling hand, to try and punch me but I caught her punch. Her eyes widen with horror. Dear God, how I loved that. I added, "My dear sweet Nina...how horrible it must be for you."

She spat, "What do you mean?"

I explained, "Well, your uncle did himself in. And now you are doing the exact same thing."

She stated, coldly, "I am not anything like my uncle."

I knew that was coming as I replied, "I know. Your will is much more stronger than his. I would like to keep you alive for my own...purposes." She paled. Oh God, her reaction is just too good. I added, "You will be my assistant. Tell me who is betraying me and such."

She hissed, "I would never rat out on my friends!"

I looked at her and stated, "Maybe not but if you don't, you'll be going to hell just like your uncle."

She snarled. Oh this was completely amazing. She probably thought that I was the worst person in the universe. ...like I hadn't heard that before. Anyways, having her work for me would work out in my favor. No one would ever expect her working for me. Before she was about to give me her answer, N. Gin came over and grabbed her.

"Hey," Nina protested.

"You can bitch at me later," N. Gin stated, as he ran.

As I watched them go, I snarled a bit. I would have to deal with THAT trash later.

-End of Flashback-

...

Cortex looked at Nina in total and utter horror, not believing that he did THAT to his own niece.

He started to say, "Nina... I..."

As he remembered the words that she hated him, all of the sudden, Uka-Uka destroyed the hallway where the two of them were hiding. Cortex went in front of his niece, ready for anything.

Uka-Uka stated, "Time for you two do die!"

Cortex braced for anything but that's when he felt the ground shake. He looked and saw Mecha Bandicoot behind Uka-Uka.

Crash was at the controls as he hissed, "Leave them alone!"

Cortex breathed, "Crash!"

Nina wondered, "Where did he get that from?"

Uka-Uka hissed, "Hey! That's NO fair!"

Nina yelled, "Crash, get him while you have a chance!"

Crash responded, "You can count on me, Nina!"

With that, Crash fired a varge of missiles at Uka-Uka. Uka-Uka dodged them, launched a dark magic sphere. Crash dodged it quickly, using Mecha Bandicoot's chainsaw. Uka-Uka's dark magical body felt that blow and the one that came right after it. That's when Uka-Uka quickly fled. Crash looked him as he fled, growling.

...

A few days later, the world was free but the threat of Uka-Uka was still around. Plus, the scars of Phoenix was still evident all around...
