BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!

Huh? I don't remember having an alarm…I open my eyes to see the alarm in question and hit the stop button on it…then a few things hit me. One: this isn't my room at all, this room has a blue color to it which isn't mine, two I'm sure I just saw an orange hand come from where I hit that alarm, and three…I feel really different…

I look down at myself and realize, that orange hand is mine, I'm a woman in her underwear and this house is not mine! Oh god…what do I do now!? Where even am I? Okay first things first, I'm an orange woman lady…wait…I feel my nose and face…am I a bandicoot? I'm a Crash fan so I'm a female bandicoot and this an adult body so not Coco…which means…did I turn into one of the Nitro Squad!?

Let's see…my figure is too thin to be Tawna, plus my breasts are too small, I don't think I'm Ami, again, too thin, Megumi…I'd feel a bit more energy…Liz…maybe…wait…am I Isabella?…did I get turned into my main? I look around to see a mirror and walk in front of it and blonde hair, beauty mark, blue eyes, that beautiful face...oh my god I am Isabella!

But what on Earth could have turned me into my main from Crash Team Racing? Why am I like this? And what do I do now? Surely there's—

RIIIIIIINGGGGG!

I look around to see a phone…this must be Isabella's phone, I see a called and it's Liz…I should answer this, and maybe Liz is someone else, who knows?

"Hello?" I answer the phone.

My voice sounds just like Isabella, my accent Italian, but it didn't quite have her mannerisms, something I'll need to work on.

"Hey Issy, we're meeting at the garage in an hour, you need me to pick you up?" Liz speaks through the phone.

We're having a meeting? And Liz is coming to pick me up…well that's convenient. But what do I do? Isabella's a character I love to race as, I don't really fully know her! Wait…if Isabella is real…am I even on the same planet as I was before? ARGH! My head hurts thinking about it! And I'm still in my underwear!

"Issy? Hellooooo?" Liz called out.

"Oh sorry, um, an hour?" I get back to Earth.

"Yeah…I'll be around in 20 minutes to pick you up" Liz says.

"Okay, see you then" I try to end the conversation.

"Bye!" Liz says goodbye.

Liz hangs up the phone, and I sigh…phew…AH! I got to get ready! Um…I need some clothes, let's see…of course, her racing outfit! Well I guess if I'm Isabella, I may as well use her iconic outfit! And oh my god this thing is tight! How does she do this!? Wait…I think I got it! After ten centuries of getting the tail through the hole, I finally got my outfit on along with the shoes and look myself in the mirror, I looked a bit messy but still beautiful like Isabella, I couldn't help but do a few poses in front of the mirror.

"Issy! Come on!" I hear Liz's voice downstairs.

"Coming!" I call out.

I go out the door and downstairs in my outfit to see Liz in her iconic outfit waiting for me.

"About time, Issy. You tryin' for fashionably late even with that Nitros Oxide creature threatening the planet?" Liz says.

"Wait? Nitros Oxide!?" I blurt out.

"Yeah…don't you remember what happened yesterday?" Liz gives me an odd look.

"Uh…was that where an alien threatened to turn Earth into a parking lot" I ask.

"Yeah, now come on, the girls are waiting for us, we gotta enter the race to come world champion to challenge Oxide" Liz says.

Wait…weren't we either meant to hand out trophies or come after all this? Oh boy…

"Okay lead the way" I say.

I follow Liz to the car and sit in the passenger seat…well my feet had to bend up because my new legs are longer than I remember. Liz and I didn't talk at all during the entire time but my head is going a million miles an hour, why am I suddenly in the body of main in CTR? Why am I racing to beat Oxide when we came in the first GP which should be after right? None of this makes sense right now, but now I have to race…I mean Crash and friends can do it, there's no reason I have to win right?

And could I maybe tell the other girls I'm not really Isabella? No, maybe I shouldn't, this could all be some dream, no need to make it a dramatic dream…yeah that's it, I have to be dreaming I'm my main and meeting the rest of the Nitro Squad.

We arrive at what must be our spot as Liz and I get out and I follow her into the building, walking felt a bit weird as I am much thinner and taller than I'm used to and also this outfit is really tight on skin…well fur…you know what I mean. Thankfully Liz didn't notice my awkward walking, we go through some rooms until we see three ladies sitting at a table who I know. Tawna, Crash's ex-girlfriend, Ami, the strong buff woman who's muscles were definitely not lying, and Megumi, the ever happy woman who looked like energy could explode from her at any minute.

"Hi Lizzie! Hi Issy!" Megumi happily waved at us.

"Hey girls" Liz greets the other girls.

"Hello" I chip in, not wanting to be too silent.

I sit down with the ladies, there's kind of a fan reaction going on inside my head, I'm sitting next to THE girls that make the Nitro Squad! The girls I play as a lot! Squuuueeeee!

"So ladies, we've been racing quite a bit, but now with Nitros Oxide challenging our planet's finest racer, we have to step up and win the title of World Champion and defeat Nitros Oxide" Tawna speaks up.

"Yeah! No Alien is turning our planet into a parking lot!" Ami pumps a fist up.

"Yeah, no front pages if there aren't pages for us to be on" Liz adds in

"And it's not very nice" Megumi added.

"Heh. They'll have to answer to us" I add in quickly.

"Let's get him and show them that the Nitro Squad isn't to be messed with!" Tawna declares.

"Yeah!" Ami gets excited.

We all head to our karts, they had been prepared for the races. The design for my kart…Isabella's kart was just like the trailer for Nitro Tour, I sat in the kart, it felt odd not seeing this in third person but being in first person, I'll have to get used to it. I thought maybe my new tail would get in the way but it seemed okay. As we drove out, I took the time to get used to how this feels in first person.

We then appear in…is this the adventure field? It's Beach, wait…did the other girls go ahead? It's just me here. Wait, I see a puff of smoke and a mask comes out, hey it's Aku Aku.

"Welcome Isabella, I am Aku Aku, and welcome to the adventure field. Behind me is the portal to the first race, when you are ready, drive in there. Good Luck and Drive fast!" Aku Aku says.

Well he disappeared…but after a quick check to see if I can powerslide and stuff, I enter the portal, confident I can win, I drive in and AHHHHHH! IT'S DIZZY! DON'T THROW UP ISABELLLLAAAAAAA!

Race 1, Crash Cove, Trophy Race…

I ended up on a start grid, in 8th place, I saw Liz in 2nd place, Crash in 1st, Cortex in 3rd, Dingodile in 4th, Tiny in 5th, Coco in 6th, Penta Penguin in 7th and well I'm last…typical, treat the Italian lady like trash. I watch as the others look around a bit, Liz sees me and I wave nervously, she gives me a smirk back.

I see the countdown starting, alright here goes, time to win this thing! 3..2..1..START! I put my foot on the acceleration pedal and we're off, my hair flying in the wind behind me as I speed off with the other racers, the first corner I managed to get a box and got a missile which I realized I had a button my wheel I can press to shoot, I shoot it at Crash who gets hit I passed by.

"Beep Beep Ciao!" I say at Crash as I passed by.

I giggled at myself, I couldn't resist saying that line but it was so funny. I ended in Lap 2 being 3rd, I managed to get powersliding and the mini-turbos down though I think Isabella's Balanced engine make turning a bit too much and it was clear against Tiny and Dingodile's speed I was being outstripped. But I got to Lap 3 in 2nd place, I was behind Tiny, but I couldn't get a missile and the bowling bombs kept missing!

We're going over the bridge and I got a boost, he's getting away…wait he ran out of fire! Now's my chance! Home stretch, just gotta get past him with my fire and…

KABOOM!

I saw the bowling bomb from tiny hit my kart as I go flying out of my kart over the finish line and roll over on ground upon landing.

"ARGH!" I scream.

I lie on my back as everything goes black around me…but I'm not passing out…what's going on? I look around to see a shadowy figure.

"You lost Isabella, but you prove quite entertaining" the figure says.

"W-Who are you?" I ask.

"Oh, we'll get to that" the figure says.

The figure laughs and then approaches me…I gulp and close my eyes…I'm so gonna die! I close my eyes as the end must be coming near…wait…why aren't I feeling dead? I open one eye to see the figure looking at me who laughed at me.

"Oh I'm not going to kill you, this loss is free anyway. But I did bring you here, you who is the best of the Isabella mains." The figure spoke.

"What?" I look at him

"See, what I desire is a challenge, so I have used my powers to find a racer that mains their character and loves them so much that they can become them, You love Isabella so much that you were able to become Isabella." The figure explains

"Send me back" I demand

"Ha! Nice try, but no. You will become world champion and defeat Oxide…only then will you be able to race me, the real World's fastest driver and if you win, you are free to go, and should you lose, well your soul is mine" the figure says.

"What!?" I exclaim.

"Oh and you can't say no to this or your soul is mine anyway but I think you're in more of a racing mood, right?" the figure says.

Crap…this is some sort of game for my soul? Guess I'll have to win this game and be free.

"very well, so I have to win all these races to challenge you?" I ask

"Duh, it's like the adventure mode you've always played except it's for your soul! Good luck!" the figure says.

I suddenly feel a falling sensation as the figure disappears, I look down to see…Crash Cove? I see…it's sending me back, well this time I'll win Crash Cove! Here goes…
