==Cutscene 001==
{{script|
{{scene|[[Cortex Vortex]].}}
{{scene-action|The scene shows a space station created by [[Doctor Neo Cortex|Dr. Neo Cortex]]. The scene cuts to the hallway in the interior. We cut to the conference room where [[Uka Uka]] is holding a meeting, quite disappointed in Cortex for his constant defeats by his sworn arch-nemesis, alongside [[Doctor N. Gin|Dr. N. Gin]], [[Tiny Tiger]], [[Dingodile]], and [[Doctor Nefarious Tropy|Dr. N. Tropy]].}}
{{dialogue|Uka Uka|{{action|upset}} Imbeciles! Fools! Nicompoops! Can't you idiots do anything right?! {{action|shows a line graph displaying a downward trend}} According to this, your track record for spreading evil is pathetic!}}
{{dialogue|Dr. Neo Cortex|{{action|annoyed}} Uka Uka, it's not our fault! That wretched bandicoot is to blame!}}
{{scene-action|A small hologram of [[Crash Bandicoot|Crash]] appears in the middle of the table. Uka Uka growls in crossness. While he speaks, Tiny pokes at the hologram and attempts to grab it, only for it to fade away.}}
{{dialogue|Uka Uka|I will not let anything stand in the way of evil... {{action|yells}} Especially not a brainless orange marsupial! Crash must be ELIMINATED!}}
{{dialogue|Dr. N. Gin|Uh... Uka Uka, need I remind you that Crash always finds a way to defeat us? Maybe he's just too good for us!}}
{{dialogue|Uka Uka|Enough excuses! You five idiots need to come up with one good plan! Or else...!}}
{{scene-action|Cortex looks down and holds his head in a worried pout.}}
{{dialogue|Dr. Neo Cortex|{{action|muttering}} How do I get into situations...? Ugh...}}
{{dialogue|Dr. N. Tropy|There must be something we can come up with. Say, Doctor, haven't you been tinkering with some kind of new secret weapon in your laboratory?}}
{{dialogue|Dr. Neo Cortex|I don't know what you're talking about, N. Tropy.}}
{{dialogue|Dr. N. Gin|Dr. Cortex! I think he's referring to the super secret weapon you've been laboring over day and night since the last time Crash defeated you!}}
{{dialogue|Uka Uka|Enough bickering! Do we have a plan?!}}
{{dialogue|Dr. Neo Cortex|Well, in my scientific endeavors, I've been able to create a genetically advanced super weapon of unbelievable strength. But the power source... is the final missing crucial element.}}
{{dialogue|Uka Uka|Hm... Element... Elements...! YES, the [[Elementals]]!}}
{{dialogue|Dr. Neo Cortex|Right, the Elementals! That's it! If released, their destructive energy could create enough power to bring my secret weapon to life. We'd have a weapon capable of crushing mountains! {{action|inadvertently hits N. Gin in the face}} Demolishing entire cities!}}
{{dialogue|Uka Uka|And wiping Crash Bandicoot off the face of the earth forever!}}
{{dialogue|Dr. Neo Cortex|Get ready to face my wrath, Crash Bandicoot! Mwa-hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!}}
{{scene-change|[[N. Sanity Island]], day.}}
{{scene-action|[[Coco Bandicoot|Coco]] is riding her jet-ski around in the bay, with Crash wake-boarding right behind her.}}
{{dialogue|Coco|Go, Crash! Yeah! Crash, you're doing great!}}
{{scene-action|Over on the shore, [[Aku Aku]] is relaxing, floating above a beach chair with a drink, with [[Pura]] building a sandcastle beside him. Suddenly, a loud explosion is heard, frightening Aku Aku and Pura.}}
{{dialogue|Aku Aku|{{action|shocked}} What's happening? {{action|notices a volcano behind him erupting}} No... it cannot be! {{action|turns again, noticing a giant storm cloud appearing in the sky with a crack of thunder}} Oh no!}}
{{scene-action|The cloud covers the sun, alerting Crash and Coco of something happening. Coco gasps.}}
{{dialogue|Coco|What's going on?! Oh no... Crash, look out!}}
{{scene-action|Crash turns to see a massive wave crashing behind him. The screen turns black and a crash is heard, alongside colored sparks flying across the screen. Crash and Coco are shown washed up on the shore beside Pura. Crash shakes his head like a dog. Aku Aku pulls himself out from where he got buried in the sand.}}
{{dialogue|Aku Aku|Is everyone alright? It appears that my evil twin brother, Uka Uka, is up to his no-good tricks again. I must find out what he is planning. I'll meet up with you later.}}
{{scene-change|[[Hyperspace Temple]].}}
{{scene-action|Uka Uka is shown in the clearing, looking around. Aku Aku appears in front of him without a word.}}
{{dialogue|Uka Uka|Ah, hello, my feeble brother.}}
{{dialogue|Aku Aku|{{action|upset}} You have gotten my attention, Uka Uka. What kind of diabolical scheme do you and Dr. Cortex have planned this time?}}
{{dialogue|Uka Uka|No schemes. Just some old familiar faces dropping by for a visit. {{action|Aku Aku looks around in shock as [[Py-Ro]], [[Lo-Lo]], [[Wa-Wa]], and [[Rok-Ko]], together known as the Elementals, appear by Uka Uka's side.}} Mwa-hahahahahahahahahahahaha!}}
{{dialogue|Aku Aku|{{action|shocked}} No... not the Elementals! Uka Uka, why did you release them? Don't you know what happened the last time they were free?!}}
{{dialogue|Uka Uka|So, they were responsible for a few earthquakes, floods, and that little ice age a couple centuries back? You worry too much, brother.}}
{{dialogue|Aku Aku|You cannot restrain them, Uka Uka! They are far too dangerous! This could spell disaster for us all!}}
{{dialogue|Py-Ro|Hahahaha! On the contrary, Aku Aku! Spells disaster for YOU and that precious planet you care so much about! DESTROY HIM!}}
{{scene-action|The elementals close in on Aku Aku and fire beams of energy at him. Aku Aku dodges the blows.}}
{{dialogue|Aku Aku|{{action|upset}} You won't get away with this!}}
{{dialogue|Uka Uka|Hahahahaha! Who's going to stop us?!}}
{{scene-change|[[Bandicoot House]].}}
{{scene-action|Crash, Coco and Pura are drying off by the fire. Crash has a towel wrapped around his shoulders, and Coco is on her laptop. All three notice Aku Aku arriving through the front door.}}
{{dialogue|Aku Aku|Crash. Coco. It is just as I feared. Uka Uka and Dr. Cortex have freed a group of destructive masks known as the... Elementals. We must find a way to stop them before they destroy the Earth and all of its inhabitants. {{action|Crash and Coco stand there, amazed.}} The only way to stop the Elementals' destructive nature is to imprison them with the use of ancient [[crystal]]s. Each Elemental can be returned back to their hibernation state with a total of five crystals. We must act quickly. Coco, what is the status of the [[Coco's VR Hub System|new portal chamber]] you've been working on?}}
{{dialogue|Coco|It's almost finished. A few little adjustments here and there and it'll ready to go!}}
{{dialogue|Aku Aku|{{action|happy}} Well done, Coco! This gives us the ideal opportunity to test it. We must hurry.}}
{{scene-change|Coco's VR Hub System.}}
{{scene-action|Pura, Crash, Coco and Aku Aku's silhouettes are seen as the door to her VR Hub System opens. The camera pans through the chamber. Coco approaches an operation console. Crash and Pura look around in a shock. Coco types on her laptop at the console, activating devices in the middle of the room.}}
{{dialogue|Coco|Okay! All systems are ready and operational.}}
{{dialogue|Aku Aku|{{action|shocked}} It's time we evened up the odds in our favor.}}
}}

==Before the Earth portal chamber==
{{script|
{{dialogue|Dr. Neo Cortex|Crash Bandicoot, my old nemesis. How the heck are you? Still gathering crystals? Old habits die hard, don't they? My days are being spent on something much more intriguing. Meet [[Crunch Bandicoot|Crunch]], my newest creation.}}
{{dialogue|Crunch|This is the creature who keeps sabotaging your master plan? HAH! You gotta be kidding! I'll exterminate this field rat in no time!}}
{{dialogue|Dr. Neo Cortex|Now, Crunch, your time with Crash will come soon enough... Isn't he brilliant? A testament. My true scientific genius. A real bandicoot warrior... Unlike you, Crash. Oh well, we all make mistakes. Ta-ta for now.}}

{{dialogue|Dr. Neo Cortex|Uh... uh... I'm working on it, Uka Uka! Listen, Crash. You may have outsmarted Rok-Ko but there are three more Elemental Masks where he came from. And just as luck would have it, they're all significantly more powerful. HA! I have no doubt that the Water Elemental Wa-Wa will make sure you never see the light of day!}}

{{dialogue|Computer|Danger. Critical power overload in evil space station. Run for your lives.}}
{{scene-action|Crash, Aku Aku, and Crunch turn and escape from the room in horror.}}
{{dialogue|Dr. Neo Cortex|I think your energy bolt caused a slight chain reaction. It might be wise if we made our way to the escape pods!}}
{{dialogue|Uka Uka|{{action|upset}} This is all YOUR fault! If you hadn't ducked out of the way, none of this would have happened!}}
