Chapter 1: The Beginning of a New Multiverse

The sky was pitch black, thunder echoed through the outside a giant crooked tower which stood in the middle of a small island. Waves crashed up on the shore of the island, on top of the tower stood a neon red light-up sign that made out the letter "N" which flickered periodically.

"D- Doctor Cortex, the p-prototype of the N-Dimension i- is ready for testing…" an Igor-esque man mumbled standing in front of a desk with the nameplate "Neo Cortex" engraved into it. A tall black chair swung around, in the chair sat a short man whose skin was yellow and somewhat pale, he had a huge head with the only hair he had coming from out the top and the two tufts on the sides of his head. He rubbed his long spikey beard as he spoke.

"Wonderful N-Gin. Wonderful." He spoke in a deep, evil voice. He hopped out of the chair and started walking as N-Gin led the way. They came to a stop as they reached a wall that had a huge metal circle screwed into it. Machinery, wires, and computers occupied a big amount of space in the room they were in, and they could barely move around.

"Here it is D- Doctor." Cortex walked over to the giant metal circle observing it.

"A new pocket dimension lies beyond this simple metal circle, N- Gin… A whole new world! Full of nothing but what I want…"

"Y- Yes Doctor!" N-Gin quickly agreed with Cortex.

"Flip the switch N-Gin." N-Gin waddled over to the switch on the wall and pulled it, the dead room came to life as sounds of the machinery begun, lights on the metal circle mounted on the wall lit up, and in the middle formed a greyish-blue slowly rotating sphere. An evil laugh came from Cortex as he grinned a sinister grin.

"Yes… Yes! My N-Dimension is a success! With this machine, I can not only have my own pocket dimension, but I can also have whatever I want, when I want! After I do just that, I will then will be able to turn THIS world into my own!" Cortex turned to N-Gin smiling.

"I agree, D-Doctor!" N-Gin said shaking nervously.

"I'm glad you do… Now. You know exactly what I want." N-Gin turned to the computer.

"Y- Yes… That Bandicoot sir…"

"Wonderful… Now nothing can possibly go wrong! I will be victorious!" Cortex walked over to the N-Dimension portal.

"Well, well… New world, let's begin."
