(In the Wumpa Islands at the bandicoots' house, Crash, Coco, Crunch and Tawna are relaxing in the living room by playing yo-yos and fidget spinners with Polar and Pura play some ball as Aku Aku watch over the group)
*Aku Aku: I love my family so much. It is great to be with the family of the whole gang.
*Crash: Wahoo!
*Coco: We been running for all of our lives.
*Crunch: I've been lifting weights, doing push-ups and running on the treadmill to get on my game.
*Tawna: Staying fit to be healthy, huh?
*Crunch: I'm so smooth like a gem. What are you talking about?
*Coco: I wonder what's on the internet today. *check her laptop*
*Crash: Ooh.
*Coco: *read some news topics* New PlayStation 5 game coming? Nice. NFTs on sale? Nah. AI-arts on new museum display? Not a thing in our eyes. There's still a lot of topics to check out.
*Crunch: What are we checking on?
*Coco: Hanging in there. I hope there's something important about our new game coming.
*Tawna: Isn't it Wumpa League or Team Rumble?
*Coco: Trying to scroll some news for our upcoming Crash Team Rumble game, but there haven't been any news on it ever since it got announced at the Game Awards 2022.
*Crash: He he.
*Aku Aku: Oh no. No no no. Don't tell me that our game is shutting down.
*Coco: What game? Our new one hasn't been out yet.
*Aku Aku: No! That!
*Coco: *see the news of Crash Bandicoot: On the Run! shutting down* Oh no. You got to be kidding us. Crash Bandicoot: On the Run! has shut down today as of February 16, 2023?
*Crash: Oh no!
*Crunch: Don't tell me your mobile game is getting shut down by King.
*Tawna: Sadly, we never got to appear as playable characters, except for the skins.
*Coco: You guys have potential. But due to the news it has been send, the game has shut down today.
*Crash: Aww.
*Coco: I don't get it. We're not going to be able to run with our game anymore.
*Crunch: Crunch's sad.
*Tawna: I heard the game was suppose to have a seventh seasonal event with Madame Amberly. But got thrown off the hook to be shelved.
*Aku Aku: *depressed* That stinks. Look like your mobile game has finally come to an end and is no longer playable to the whole world.
*Polar and Pura: *cry together*
*Crash: Aww. Hoo hoo.
*Coco: This is the saddest day of our lives.
*Crunch: As of now, we will never see new updates and new challenges on the mobile game ever again.
*Tawna: To cheer up, let's go take a walk at the hills.
(Crash, Coco, Crunch, Tawna and Aku Aku take a walk in the hills as a portal open up with Spyro and Sparx showing up to greet them)
*Spyro: Hey guys. We're back. How the updates doing for your mobile game?
*Sparx: What's with the sad faces?
*Aku Aku: We are very sorry to say that our mobile game has shut down today, meaning that the servers are no longer accessible and playable.
*Spyro: Aw man. That sucks. I'm very sorry to hear.
*Crash: *cries* Ah hoo hoo.
*Spyro: It's alright Crash. You'll get another game soon.
*Coco: Our game isn't very popular enough to keep the fans from playing.
*Crunch: It's never gonna get any better.
*Tawna: We're sorry to hear the news.
*Sparx: It doesn't even look good to us.
(At Cortex's Castle, Cortex and his henchmen check on the computer to see what's on the news lately)
*Cortex: *evil laugh* Very well. I wonder what the bandicoots are up to. *see a article on the end of Crash Bandicoot: On the Run!* What? Crash Bandicoot: On the Run! has shut down? Blasted! We have a big part in it!
*N. Gin: Aw man. This is the end of the road.
*N. Brio: This stinks!
*Nina: Oh great. Another game lost.
*Dingodile: No no no! Why do they keep doing this to us?!
*Pinstripe: This really stinks. That game celebrated Crash Bandicoot's 25th anniversary a while ago.
*Cortex: I don't feel like being the bad guy anymore. *cries* Why do games always have to end like this.
*Uka Uka: Too bad, so sad. It's just a game over.
(At the graveyard, Crash and Spyro's gang look at a gravestone with the "Crash Bandicoot: On the Run!" name in it to pay respects to the game)
*Crash: Aw.
*Coco: Crash Bandicoot: On the Run!, you were a great game.
*Crunch: I like how we collect items, do endless runs and fight bosses and enemies in levels.
*Tawna: You even get to compete with friends and collect skins.
*Aku Aku: We were miss you Crash Bandicoot: On the Run! And thank you for the memories for two years straight. We will miss you.
*Spyro: At least, there are seasonal events and I even got a crossover with the Battle of the Dragons seasonal event.
*Sparx: The game is missed, but not forgotten.
*Coco: Let's hope for the next Crash Bandicoot game to come out in the near future.
*Crunch: We can hope for Crash Team Rumble to be a good game.
*Tawna: Rest in piece.
*Singer: *sing while Crash and Spyro's gang hold hands together on the game's gravestone*
Say something, I'm giving up on you
I'll be the one, if you want me to
Anywhere, I would've followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I am feeling so small
It was over my head
I know nothing at all
And I will stumble and fall
I'm still learning to love
Just starting to crawl
Say something, I'm giving up on you
I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
Anywhere, I would've followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I will swallow my pride
You're the one that I love
And I'm saying goodbye
Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
And anywhere, I would have followed you
Oh-oh, say something, I'm giving up on you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
Say something
THE END
