Cream and her blue flying companion known as Cheese walked into the Black Market... deeper than one would normally be advised. The group was supposed to be meeting up at where the lizardman or... Komodo Schemoes as the Bandicoot put it where be hiding out. This area was in Gang territory as is so having an escort was important. She really did not like this mission but if Chocola was wrapped up in something she had to help him. And so together they would near a really tall and fancy built building, primarily red and yellow in color like a Crimson Gold rising. One could ponder how they got to build this, but the paint drying indicated that was probably a coverup. There seemed to be no clear entrances from the outside aside from the front door on the bottom which had a picture of Komodo Joe and Komodo Moe together, showing that this is their turf and whoever entered was foolish. That and the sign that literally says "Here liessssss Komodo Tower, Base of the Komodo Brotherssssss any that tressssspassss are either foolish or have a deathwish."

"... This place is scary looking. I don't like coming this far but if it's for Chocola..." Chees and Cream both shared a worried expression. "... No, we need to do this. If there's even a bit of chance he is in danger I need to do something... Is everyone ready?" Cream turned back to Crash and Haseo. "I think we should enter at the count of three. So just tell me and let's go. If you think we should turn back I understand but... I can't." she softly explained this as she waited for the go ahead. Either way they should probably not loiter too long in this area.

It's been a while since he'd heard from the Komodo Bros.

Crash halfway expected that after the one (and by then only) time they fought, the two lizard-men learned their lesson and gave up of doing villain stuff, but it looked to not be the case, indicated by the Chaonapping that they did.

Well, if they wanted a second butt whopping, who was him to deny them that?

Arriving at the tower the Komodo Bros now resided within the depths of the Black Market, Crash pulled out a Wumpa from his pants and took a bite. "So this is where they are now, ain't it? Hope they got insurance for brawling and explosions." he joked.

As he heard the talking young rabbit speaking what she wanted to do and offering them a chance to leave, Crash waved his hand dismissively. "No wuckas, kiddo." He reassured Cream. "Reckon these two need ta be taught a lesson again. Though, if ya need ta come along, leave the hard work for me an' the Haseo guy, a'ight?" Crash spoke as he finished the Wumpa he was eating and threw the remains in a randomly placed trashcan.

"All right! I'm ready to go and deliver an EXTREEEEME beatdown!" the bandicoot exclaimed.

As Haseo arrived on the scene he was currently in his 3rd form mostly to act as an intimidation tactic as after all his 3rd form would look pretty scary to others especially if they hardly knew him. Walking through the black market most of course did try to avoid Haseo or knew to just ignore him as he walked with the group toward their destination. Taking out his twin blades just in case things got rough he would slowly pace over to the crimson gold building to see a sign that described the komodo tower and it's purpose. Basically a big keep out sign was what it was but this did not scare Haseo as he had been through many rough situations some even life or death.

His crimson red eyes looking over to the young rabbit girl then over to Crash who seemed to re-assure her they would get their friend back. Haseo would attempt to do the same. "No worries. You have nothing to fear with us around." Haseo said a bit proudly as he looked back over to Crash. "So you know these chumps? Well this will certainly be interesting." he would say with a toothy grin. "Lets get started on the rescue then." Haseo said a bit impatiently.

"... Thank you Mr. Crash and Mr. Haseo! Let's go then!" Of course they would not have second thoughts. They agreed to come with her this far, why would they turn back now? Crash has dealt with these two before and Haseo seemed strong so there was nothing they needed to worry about! "Okay! I'll do my best too and cheer you on!" ... she says as if a cheer leader is a necessity  before opening the door to what appeared to be in the design of a foreign palace. The first room was a octagon with 3 doors on the furtherest corner, luxurious furniture all around the entrance. "Woah, for bad guys they sure are fancy!" Cream commented, mostly to shrug off her own worry before the door closed behind the three.

"Ssssso, you showed up with sssssome friends orange fuzzball?" a voice sounded from behind them as well as Cream looked around to see a skinny green lizard person with a sword in hand.

"You will find thisssss time it won't be ssssso easy," he began before disappearing in purple smoke. "We have learned ssssome new trickssssss sssssince we last fought," he continued from behind them just walking to a picture of him and his brother golfing before disappearing again. "To proceed you musssst anssswer our riddle. Who'sssss fault issss it for all the trouble we go through to thissss day? Open the door with the face of your ansssswer if you're confident," the voice was all around this time... To which it must be coming from the speakers as he vanished to some control room. The three doors then lit up with a face for each, one being N. Brio, one being Cortex and the last one being Uka Uka.

"Um, I guess this question is for you since I know none of them?" Cream and Cheese looked to Crash.

Upon setting foot upon the Komodo domain, Crash looked around the place, before his eyes landed on the 3 doors. Before he could say anything on the matter, though, a familiar voice spoke from behind. He instantly turned around, putting his fists up as his eyes met one of the Komodo Bros.

“G’day to ya too, Joe.” Crash replied to Komodo Joe with a certain levity. “Came ‘ere to teach ya and your bro a lesson again. I hoped ya learned a lesson, buuuut oh well. I can go for a Round 2.” he commented, before the scaly mutant disappeared. Figures he wouldn’t make things easier for him.

As the voice of Komodo Joe hissed throughout the room, Crash’s attention would be redirected at the three doors, as each of them lit up with a familiar face engraved onto them. Great, a questionnaire. He sucked at those. He turned to Cream as she kind of asked for him to take over and answer the question. “Yeah...well y’see, mate, aside from fightin’ them once, I know next to nothin’ from these bozos...” the bandicoot admitted. True, the answer could’ve been Dr. Cortex because...well, it’s usually Cortex’s goons he fights against...but the time he met those two was also the time were N. Brio sent his own squad after him…

“...wait a sec.” Crash muttered. All of Cortex’s goons after him were just muscle-head dimwits, weren’t they? Then if that were the case…

Crash walked towards the door with N.Brio’s face and knocked on it. “I think this is it!”

[Jade Callisto]

Haseo seemed pretty stumped on this whole quiz thing. He was not fond of puzzles even when he was in The World. He could never understand why this had to be a thing as he was a fighter not that much of a thinker. Well that was not entirely true but he just did not like to think was all.

As Crash seemed to figure out the quiz Haseo stood in front of Cream as a bodyguard should be doing. "Lets hope you got the right answer Crash. I'm not good at these kinds of things." Haseo would admit as he kept his weapons at the ready just in case.

Sure he wanted to strike down this lizard guy right then and there but he was going to humor this lizard guy for now and see what he had in store for them. Primary mission was to rescue Chocola so a little quiz couldn't hurt right? "Be careful he might be up to something." Haseo said in caution.
