Chapter 1: "Donkey Kong pt. 1 - The Mad Ape"
"Warning! There is a crisis in the city! A giant ape and his son
have escaped from captivity and are in the forest. Warning! These
apes are very powerful and are not to be undere-" Mario shut the
radio off as he prepared for his big date with Pauline tonight.
Mario was a chubby, Italian carpenter living in Brooklyn, New
York. One unusual trait of the mustachioed man was his amazing
jumping ability. He had earned the nickname "Jumpman" from his
carpenter peers. His taller, skinnier brother, Luigi, also shared
his jumping ability.
Mario was dressing in a tux for his big date tonight, which differed
from his usual red cap & shirt with overalls. If he had taken the time
to look out the window, he would have seen the giant shape approaching
his pad.
Pauline walked through the path to Mario's forest pad, planning to surprise
her boyfriend. She saw Mario's place in the distance and increased her strides.
Suddenly, a gargantuan, muscular ape leaped out from the bushes and grabbed Pauline.
She screamed as the powerful primate carried her into the forest.
Mario heard Pauline's screams from his pad and ran outside . He chased
after the giant shadow in the bushes, yelling, "Pauline!"
Mario drop kicked the behemoth, but he jumped out of the way and
backhanded the carpenter and knocked him into a tree. Mario caught a glimpse
of the beast as he escaped and realized that he was a giant, muscular, brown
furred ape. Mario pursued the ape, who retreated to the far side of the river.
Mario leaped from log to log in the river. Suddenly, the gorilla lifted
a heavy wooden barrel and chucked at the Mario. It struck the "Jumpman"
dead in the face. He floated unconcious down the river and fell down
a waterfall.
Pauline fell to the ground , crying, as the ape exclaimed, "None beat me!
Me be great Donkey Kong! Oo Aa!"
**************************************************
It was a beautiful morning in New York Harbor. Some fishermen
were pulling up their nets to see their catches. A fisherman on one
boat was startled to see he had caught a nearly naked unconcious
mustachioed man in his net! The man woke up and immediately leaped
from boat to boat , screaming, "Pauline!" The old fisherman had one
surprise too many and collapsed on the deck.
Mario arrived at the shore and continued to scream his lover's name
as he ran in the direction of Brooklyn.
*******************************************************
In a treehouse deep in the jungle , Donkey Kong watched the pretty girl
sleep on the makeshift treehouse's cot. She had fainted the night before
after the ugly man fell down the waterfall. A second gorilla layed beside
Donkey. Unlike his father, Donkey Kong Jr was much smaller and sported
a tank top with the letters "JR" on it.
Pauline woke up seconds later in the smelly, cramped treehouse. "Pretty
Girl wake up, " Donkey Kong remarked.
Pauline then realized, "How can you talk? And why did capture me
and kill my dear Mario?" She sobbed softly.
Donkey said, "Wes live on Kongo Island. Magic island in other world,
but me and Jr fall through green pipe. Takes us here. Ugly bad men capture us
and hurt alot. Wes learn mens ugly bad people. Pretty girl tries to helps us, but
shes got hurt bad. Wes learns girls pretty, nice people. Me and Jr escape into
woods. Wes makes house and rescues yous from ugly man so yous not gets
hurt."
Pauline rebutted , "No, not all men are like that! Some are nice!" She walked
towards the table and tripped. She realized her leg was chained to the wall.
"No ugly mens can takes yous now," He said as he flashed a toothy smile.
Pauline sighed. It would take some time to educate the gorilla - in both
differances between humans and grammer.
*****************************************************
Mario finally made it back to his pad. He couldn't save Pauline in what
was left of his tux, and his only other clean suit was his carpenter's uniform.
Mario yelled , "Suit up!" as he put on fresh underwear. He then put on his
red shirt and overalls. He slipped on his work gloves and stepped into his
work shoes. Finally, he placed his red cap on top of his head. He made a
mental note to customize his cap with a letter or something someday, then he
left and hopped from treetop to treetop , yelling, "Woohoo!"
*********************************************************
At the treehouse, two apes and one human ate at the breakfast table.
Pauline was agrivated as she watched Donkey Kong eat cocanut juice with
a frying pan. "For the last time, that is a frying pan used to cook
food, NOT a magical spoon!"
Donkey argued, "Pretty girl silly! This magic spoon, nots cookie!
It bes too hard ands dirty tos bes cookie!"
Pauline was about to rebutt, but then she heard a familiar voice yelling,
"Woohoo! Yaha! Whee!"
Pauline ran to the window, screaming, "Mario!" before she once again
tripped and fell.
Donkey Kong announced, "Mes gos and sees what makes noise thats
scares Pretty Girl," as he looked out the window. He saw a familiar figure
flying over the trees towards the house. "That Ugly Mens from last moon!
Me crush hims! Jr take Pretty Girl to wes cave!
"Okay, Pop!" Jr yelled as he unlocked the chain and put a handcuff on
her left hand and his right.
Donkey Kong climbed to the roof of the treehouse, where he had hidden
several wooden barrels. He tossed one at Mario. The carpenter bounced off it
and landed behind behemoth. Mario's punch had no effect on the giant. The gorilla
lifted the ugly man over his head and flung him off the roof. Kong leaped after him.
As Mario fell towards the jaws of a hungry alligator, he grabbed a vine and swung
on it. He kicked Donkey Kong into the treehouse and took to the treetops in search of
Pauline.
****************************************************************
Jr led Pauline through the forest. The tiny gorilla assured her, "Don't
worry, Pretty Girl. We're almost there!"
Pauline commented, "Your English is much better then your father's."
The son of Donkey Kong replied, "I've studied your language for years
on Kongo Island. I've been teaching Pop until we were captured by the Ugly Men.
He still has a long way to go."
A stout carpenter landed before them. "Mario!" Pauline exclaimed.
Jr snarled, "Ugly Man! I'll kill you! " as he sprung into action.
Mario leaped over the tiny ape and punched him into a tree.
"Mario! What did you do to him?" Pauline worried.
"Don't-a worry, Pauline. He'll-a be okay. I-a only knocked him-a out,
just-a like his-a father," Mario promised as he unlocked the cuffs.
"Let's-a go home," Mario said. Suddenly, Mario was sent flying into
a tree beside Donkey Kong Jr. He recovered and saw Donkey Kong running off with
a screaming Pauline. Mario chased the ape into the city to see Donkey Kong carry
his girlfriend to a construction site. Mario recognized it as the office building
he was working on.
Next Time: Mario must save Pauline from the evil Donkey Kong. Does he stand a chance
against the mad ape? Find out in "Donkey Kong Pt. 2 - Mario the Hero"
