There are many heroes who are unusual. But none are even close to that of an Ape known as Donkey Kong. Making his debut in the 80's on an old arcade game known as….Donkey Kong. But since then, he's struck it out on his own as a single game party called Donkey Kong Country. He's had many adventures on his island, and for awhile was missing from the world of nintendo. Until he made a spectacular return in Donkey Kong Country Returns for the Nintendo Wii. With the release of Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze for the Wii U, it marked the 20th anniversery of the series since its creation. And it just so happens to be where our heroes are headed. Please note that this is a narration, none of this was ever a game, in this world.
DK was having the time of his life. Today was his 20th birthday, and everyone in his small family celebrated. Diddy Kong, DKs lifetime companion. Dixie Kong, Diddy Kong's special girl, and finally Cranky Kong, presumably DK Isle's oldest resident. DK was getting ready to make a wish on his special cake, but as a red balloon floated out, he didnt know nomads were getting close. Or should we say… Snowmads.
Looking out of a telescope seeing the balloon was a penguin soldier of the Snowmads called a Pointy Tuck. He squawked in a hurry as he ran to their captain who was shadowed by the incoming ice and snow. The other Pointy Tucks began blowing on their horns as some of the brought the leader a large horn with ice and snow radiating from it.
The captain laughed deeply, assuring his conquest and capture. Breathing in, he blew into the horn which blasted a wave of ice and snow before summoning a large ice dragon.
As the hero ships flew by…
"Hey, hope. Dont think for a second you'll be getting that hidden badge first." Jexi said over the monitor.
"Hey, it can be scanned once by each team. We're just working together so we both can make it to the final 8." Hope said.
"Well, its not going to be hard to search a...whoo! Who turned up the AC?" Jexi shouted.
"Uh, guys. Large scary ice dragon off the port bow!" Usopp said.
"What?" Jexi said looking out to see such a creature heading for DK Island. But what drew his attention were the ships behind it. "Snowmads."
"Wait, you know those guys?" Hope asked.
"No but I've heard tales. They're a roaming group of nomadic arctic creatures looking for a frozen paradise. The dragon was most likely summoned by a long lost artifact: the Blizzard Horn." Jexi said.
As for the Kongs, Diddy was blowing an air horn as DK was about to blow out the candle when a sudden wind did it for him. He looked confused before a snowflake landed on the candle. The four quickly ran out of their home to see the snowmad ship as well as their dragon. Before a fight could start, it flew the four apes away from DK Island as they landed on a completely random one. After that, the ship took flight into the air as it landed onto the top of the island. The ice dragon flew around DK isle, changing it into a tropical frozen paradise complete with a storm that kept it that way.
"Ah great." Hope said. "But I think DK and his pals matter right now. Head to where theyre flying off to!"
Hopes ship turned to the path the kongs flew away in.
"Looks like they landed on an island called the Lost Mangrove." Nami said looking at the charts.
"Look! DK's about to land in that plane there!" Rainbow said as Dk crashed into the wrecked plane.
"Ouch! Is he alright?" Fluttershy asked.
They saw DK get back up as her furiously beat his chest.
"He's gonna be just fine." Happy said.
"I'm going in." Hope said jumping down and landing in front of DK.
"And Hope the Victor of Team Shining Hope Squad has made first contact on the DK Archipelago!" Dedenne said. "Whoop! But it looks like he's also met the local defender. Donkey Kong himself."
"What the? How is she-?" Hope wondered before seeing a flying camera. "These camera's are gonna be following us around aren't they?"
"You got it!" Dedenne said.
DK looked at hope, staring into him.
"Uh, hey big guy. I'm here about your snowmad problem and I think I can help. Please dont toss a barrel at me." Hope said.
DK, after a second longer, gave hope a thumbs up as he grabbed Hope and tossed him on his back as he ran off.
"Is that what he usually does?" Gemini asked.
"Yeah. Guess Hope went from hero to sidekick." Rainbow chuckled as the Dimensional Heroes arrived.
Hope was able to get off DK's back as they came through the forest of Mangroves tied in with plane wreckage. After a while, they saw a barrel with blue DK letters on it. DK picked it up and tossed it, releasing Diddy Kong.
"Ah, theres the guy you tag along with." Hope said as DK nodded, Diddy going on his back like Hope was before. DK then grabbed Hope as the three hurried off before landing inside of a mine cart as it took off.
"I'll steer." Hope said. "Wait, mine carts don't have steering wheels."
Hope was screaming as he rode with the two primates before they stopped at the end of the track.
"Oh thank god." Hope said before the track gave out from under them. "Why did I just jinx it?"
The three screamed before landing on a pile of snow. "What the?"
"Falling on hard times...Mr. Hope?" said a voice as a familiar white haired girl in a kimono approached him.
"Yuki!" Hope said. "What are you doing here?"
"I was hoping to enjoy a tropical vacation away from my brother...for once. But things went all snowy for some reason." Yuki said.
"Its the snowmads. They've frozen over DKs place and I kinda got roped into helping him." Hope said.
"Hey!" Jexi said as they arrived.
"Man… for a big ape he moves quick. You think you can tell him to slow down?" Hope asked Chopper.
"Well, I'll try." Chopper said as he and DK talked. "Okay, he's willing to do so. But he wants us to help take back his home so he can have his birthday cake."
"Well, this is your business since the snowmads ruined your home. We'll beat their butts along the way too. Were in." Jexi said.
"So am I. I want my vacay back on track!" Yuki said stamping her foot.
"Alright. Hey, Dedenne! Is it okay if Yuki tags with us?" Yosuke asked.
"She isn't registered with a competing team so its all right." Dedenne said.
"Welcome to the party. Now lets keep going." Hope said.
Along the way, Dk Demonstrated the abilities of Diddy, Dixie and Cranky. Diddy had his trusty rocket barrel pack to hover, Dixie could use her hair like a propellor to give Dk extra height, and Cranky's cane was able to keep DK off of spiky objects in a continuous bounce.
"They all bring different skills to the table. Makes them a great team." Chie said.
"Yeah. They're a perfect combination." Rainbow said. "Now, I wonder how much longer till the boss?"
"Boss?" Luffy said.
"Yeah, every single DK game had a boss at the end of the world. And no doubt the snowmads have a few higher ups. So there's gotta be one here." Rainbow said.
"You make a good point." Hope said before they saw something. A small flag with an icicle printed on it.
"Oh great." Yuki groaned.
"What's wrong?" Eren asked.
"This belongs to that stupid guild my brothers in. Frozen Fury." Yuki groaned. "I did not wanna deal with him!"
"Well, no sense in getting past some of them." Hope said as they approached the flag. But there was no one there. "What the heck?"
"Well, truth be told, they only brought five prime members with and they aren't exactly on this island so...eh, what're you gonna do?" Dedenne said.
"Aw. And I was hoping for a fight." Natsu groaned before they heard a small moan.
They looked into the bushes to see a small white fox with a fluffy tail and big blue eyes.
"It...looks like a Vulpix." Yumi said.
"It must be an alola adaptation of one." Hope said. "Its as white as snow."
"Well, there's a good reason for that." Yuki said looking at it. "It is said that Vulpix came to the Alola region together with humans, but the Fox Pokémon moved to the snowy mountain peaks to avoid the normal habitats of other Pokémon, and thus it ended up taking on this form. These Alolan Vulpix live on high mountains that remain covered in snow year-round. They live in small packs of two to five individuals, helping one another survive. They can let loose a breath of 50 below."
"Wow. So its like an arctic fox." Aelita said.
"Yeah. That's right. Poor little thing." Yuki said petting it as it rubbed against her.
Hope then saw a big top on the horizon.
"Hmmm. EIther the cosmic circus is in town… or we just found ourselves the commander." Hope said.
"Nope. Too small. Gotta be the boss." Yuki said looking at it.
DK Grabbed Hope and dashed inside.
"Why is it always me he grabs?' Hope asked himself.
