After Crash finds the parts Coco turns it on to find a commercial for the NV, a device bluit by a man with a familar face. After watching it the bandicoots wanted some. Then a package comes in the mail that Crash retrieves. Crunch and Coco put them on and send each other text messages. Crash tries to put it on but the NV keeps shocking him every time he touches it even with a stick. Then suddenly N.Gin appears with his army of Ratincians who been abandoned by Cortex. After defeating N.Gin's army, Crash and Aku Aku decide to follow N.Gin to his observatory. They find N.Gin and Crash attempts to punch him in the throat. N.Gin who didn't want to be punched in the throat sent his Ratincians to take Crash outside and beat him up. Then after being defeated N.Gin is told to leave the island by Aku Aku.
