Chapter 1 - The Resurrection of Doctor Bad-Boon

Since the defeat of the evil Doctor Bad-Boon, peace was restored on Jungle Island. The monkeys who inhabited the island couldn't have been happier to have their bananas back, and that was especially true for the four monkeys who saved the island from annihilation. Aiai, Meemee, Baby, and Gongon were hailed as heroes, and everyone lived happily ever after.

Or so they thought. No one knew that on the outskirts of the island, a certain ape with advanced technical skills was hard at work with repairing Dr. Bad-Boon, who turned out to be a robot.

He smiled as he finished tightening the last bolt on his fallen robotic boss.

"Perfect," he whispered to himself, patting Dr. Bad-Boon's lifeless head. "Now I just need to re-activate the power, and he will be as good as new."

After splicing several wires together, he attached them to the terminal contacts on the back of Dr. Bad-Boon's neck. With a jolt, he watched in excitement as Dr. Bad-Boon slowly opened his eyelids.

"Ugggghhh," the doctor moaned as he carefully stood upright, and he noticed his assistant standing in front of him, grinning from ear to ear.

"Oh, thank you for saving me!" he exclaimed. "I was worried that I might be used for scrap metal, but now that's over. Now, where were we again? Hmmm..." He held a finger to his lips for a few seconds. "Right! Those insolent monkeys! They foiled my plans, and now, it shall be payback time for them."

"How will we do so, Doctor?" his assistant asked.

"They managed to complete all of the mazes I had set up for them," he growled. "I will not forgive them for what they have done, so I will challenge them to complete some mazes that will really test their limits. If they thought the mazes at my Space Colony and at my base were difficult, they will need to think again! Hee hee hee!"

Author's note: I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of this story. I remember playing this game a long time ago, and this idea just randomly came to me. Plus, this is such a tiny little fandom, and I felt that I could contribute a little by publishing a new story. Stay tuned for the next chapter, everyone!

FYI: I know that Dr. Bad-Boon is a monkey, but I've always wondered about that spring that came out at the end of the story. I thought it would be interesting if it meant that he was a robot, so that's why he is one in this story.
