Chapter 1: When the Monkey Falls In

(At Mimic's Workshop in Scuttle Town)

It was very late into the night and Mimic was going through a few of his books to see if he could find anything new to try and dig up from the ancient times. In fact, it was so late at night, Mimic was barely able to keep himself awake as he went through each book. Suddenly, the doorbell and Mimic rose from his desk bench.

Mimic- Who could be at the door at this hour?

As soon as Mimic left to see who was at the door, a mysterious figure cloaked in shadows teleported into the room, placed a book on the desk, and teleported out. Mimic returned to his desk with an annoyed look on his face.

Mimic- Stupid kids! I figured kids would've stopped ding-dong-ditching like how they stopped prank phone calls! And at this time of night! Huh? What's this?

Mimic finally noticed the strange red and black book sitting on his desk.

Mimic- That's strange. I don't remember this book.

Mimic opened it and saw it was about a mysterious creature the likes of which he never seen or heard of.

Mimic- The…Tropical Night…

(The next morning at DK's house in Kongo Jungle)

Donkey Kong was lying down on the floor while tossing his discarded banana peels across the room. Diddy Kong was playing his boombox while sitting on the tire swing in the tree hut. Eventually, Cranky Kong walked in.

Cranky Kong- Will you stop with that blasted…

Before Cranky Kong could finish that sentence, he slipped on one of the banana peels and fell on his back.

Donkey Kong- Oh shit!

Diddy Kong- Oh shit indeed! Cranky is gonna kill us!

Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong rushed to help Cranky Kong get back up. However, Cranky hit both of them on the head with his cane as soon as they did.

Cranky Kong- First you play your stupid music so loud that the whole jungle could hear it and wakes me up from my nape, and then after walking all the way here, you leave banana peels all over the floor! This is disgusting! I raised you better than this, Donkey Kong!

Donkey Kong- Sorry, Cranky…

Cranky Kong- Well get to it. Clean this mess up!

Donkey Kong- Ok.

Then Donkey Kong punches the ground and makes a shockwave that blows the banana peels out of the hut and rain down on the ground around the tree his house was built on.

Cranky Kong- Great…you just littered part of the jungle with your garbage.

Donkey Kong- At least it's not littering the floor anymore.

Cranky Kong slapped his palm over his face a bit.

Cranky Kong- How the Crystal Coconut chose you to be Kongo Jungle's next ruler is beyond me. Or how you were chosen to help us fight against a powerful ultimate deity is also beyond me!

Suddenly, the Crystal Coconut's case opened up, revealing itself to the three monkeys.

Diddy Kong- The Crystal Coconut?

Donkey Kong- Why is it acting this way?

Cranky Kong- It must mean something is up. Usually, the Crystal Coconut doesn't react this way unless it's trying to warn you about some upcoming danger.

Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, and Cranky Kong moved closer to the Crystal Coconut as images of a possible future appeared in its reflection. It showed a dragon-like creature, but with wings and feathers of a bird. The scales were black, but the feathers were dark blue. Then the vision changed to show King K. Rool sitting on a throne while hundreds of Kongs were carrying stone blocks to build a monument of King K. Rool while it looked like Risky Boots was cracking a whip at the Kongs. Funny thing was the Kongs looked like they were possessed by some force by the look in their eyes.

Diddy Kong- Ok…that was freaky…

Donkey Kong- What was that all about? What was that creature anyway?

Cranky Kong- Could it have been…no, it couldn't have!

Donkey Kong- What do you know, Cranky?

Cranky Kong- Well, they say long ago, there lived a race of winged reptiles called the Tropical Night. It's rumored the Tropical Night have the ability to control the minds of other lifeforms. And the Kongs that came even before me disposed of all the Tropical Nights before they could cause any real trouble. But the legends say that one unhatched egg survived. They couldn't destroy it, because the eggs are supposed to be as hard as diamond. So, they locked it inside a tomb deep within the jungle somewhere.

Donkey Kong- K. Rool must be after the last Tropical Night! Cranky, where is this tomb?

Cranky Kong- How the **** should I know?! This happened long before my time!

Diddy Kong- DK, a map is appearing on the Crystal Coconut.

Donkey Kong- That must be where the tomb is. We better hurry if we want to stop King K. Rool!

Diddy Kong- But why was that pirate lady who's always bugging our genie friend, Shantae, in that vision of the future?

Donkey Kong- Who cares. Let's just kick K. Rool's ass and prevent that future.

(In an old forgotten temple somewhere in Kongo Jungle)

King K. Rool, General Klump, and Krusha were exiting the temple and a shiny black stone was in King K. Rool's hand.

King K. Rool- Well, that was easier than I thought it would be. Got the goods right here and no trouble came before us.

Krusha- Right…what are the goods again?

General Klump put his palm over his face.

King K. Rool- You have the attention span of an ameba, Krusha. Now listen up one last time. This is an egg. And inside this egg is the last of a creature known as the Tropical Night which have the power to take over the minds of other lifeforms. All we have to do is hatch this egg and train it to work for me and we can finally take over Kongo Jungle.

Donkey Kong- Nice speech, but I think you do have some trouble now, dickhead!

King K. Rool, General Klump, and Krusha looked up and saw Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong standing in front of them.

General Klump- How the hell did they find us?! This place is supposed to be long forgotten!

Donkey Kong- Did you forget that the Crystal Coconut has the post to predict the future and warn us of certain danger?

Diddy Kong- The real question is how did you find out about the Tropical Night?

King K. Rool- If you must know, before I ended my partnership with Giovanni after that legendary Poke'mon impaled me, he did help me get the right medical treatment I needed to recover. But while I was recovering, I used his resources to do a little digging for anything useful to help conquer Kongo Jungle. But enough of this. Klump, Krusha, get rid of these fools!

General Klump threw an orange grenade at them, but Diddy Kong shot it with one of his peanut pistols and made it explode in midair. Krusha tried to attack Diddy Kong, but Donkey Kong countered with his Monkey Punch and knocked Krusha away from Diddy Kong. Then Donkey Kong pounded his fists to the ground and make a massive shockwave that almost knocked K. Rool, Klump, and Krusha off their feet. Donkey Kong tried to reach for the egg while King K. Rool was a bit distorted, but K. Rool pulled out a cannon pistol and fired it at Donkey Kong. Luckily, Donkey Kong punched the cannonball right back into the cannon pistol's mouth…or was that really a bad thing…

King K. Rool- You ****ing idiot! That was a TNT cannonball!

Donkey Kong- Is that bad?

King K. Rool- Seriously! I wonder who's dumber! You or Krusha!

Suddenly, there was a huge explosion and it blew the Tropical Night egg into the sky. When the smoke cleared, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, King K. Rool, General Klump, and Krusha were covered in soot and the tip of Diddy Kong's hat was on fire.

Diddy Kong- Maybe you should've thought before you acted, DK.

King K. Rool- I can't believe you blew the egg away! Now I have to find it all over again! Come on you two idiots! We got work to do!

After King K. Rool, General Klump, and Krusha left, Diddy Kong put out the flame on his cap and looked at Donkey Kong.

Diddy Kong- What are we going to do now? We might've gotten the egg away from them, but we don't know where it is either.

Donkey Kong- Remember that cannon I built out of bamboo and leaves? Maybe if we shoot ourselves in the same direction as the egg went, it might bring us to somewhere close to where it landed.

(At Shantae's house in Scuttle Town)

Shantae was lying in a bathtub and enjoying a night hot bath.

Shantae- This feels refreshing. After that Deadly Six incident, a relaxing bath is just what the doctor ordered.

Suddenly, Shantae heard a loud banging sound as the house shook a bit.

Shantae- What was that?! Was that another cannonball from a pirate raid?!

(Outside of Shantae's house)

Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong were lying on the side of Shantae's house next to a huge crater that recently appeared on the house.

Donkey Kong- Owch! My head! Hold on, why does this place look familiar?

Diddy Kong- I don't know. But it looks like we did some damage to the house when we crashed.

Donkey Kong- Hope we didn't break anything.

Diddy Kong- I'll check.

Then Diddy Kong opened one of the windows and looked inside. However, when Diddy Kong peeked inside, he quickly covered his eyes and turned around.

Diddy Kong- Oh shit, DK! We screwed up royally this time!

Donkey Kong- Why, what did you see?

Then Donkey Kong looked through the window. Unfortunately for him, a hairdryer was thrown at his face and knocked poor Donkey Kong to the ground. Donkey Kong looked up and had a really worried look on his face.

Donkey Kong- Oh ****! Now I know why this place seemed familiar…

Standing in the window was a half-naked Shantae wearing nothing but a towel to cover most of her body that was still dripping wet. And she looked extremely pissed. The ground even seemed to shake as she screamed at DK.

Shantae- DONKEY KONG!

Donkey Kong- Oh, hi Shantae! Uh…listen, I can explain…

Shantae- Save it, you braindead baboon! I am going to get dressed before we continue this conversation! Until then, don't move…both of you…

Then Shantae slams the window shut while Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong just sat there with a terrified look on their faces.

Diddy Kong- So, what are the chances of us making it out of this on her good side?

Donkey Kong- And I thought I was stupid.

Eventually, Shantae came out of her house fully dressed, but she still had that pissed off look on her face and she slammed the door open and walked up to Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong.

Shantae- Alright you two, I'm waiting to hear your explanation and it better be a good one!

Then Donkey Kong quickly explained to Shantae about the Tropical Night egg and how it got sent flying while trying to stop King K. Rool from stealing it and how they crashed into the side of her house while trying to launch themselves to figure out where it landed.

Shantae- I see. And you believe this egg might be somewhere in Sequin Land?

Donkey Kong- It's possible, since we landed here.

Shantae- Let's hope Uncle Mimic has heard of something like that.

Shantae began walking towards Scuttle Town.

Shantae- Aren't you two monkeys coming?

Diddy Kong- You want to help us?!

Donkey Kong- Even after what we just did to you?!

Shantae- We are still part of the Super Mario Brothers' Team and you were trying to find something important. So I guess that excuses you for crashing into my house. However…

Shantae grabbed Donkey Kong by his tie and pulled his head down to her level.

Shantae- That does not excuse you for looking through my window while I was indecent!

Donkey Kong (in a choking tone)- I said I was sorry!
