Chapter 11
The Battle of DK Island


Outside Lord Fredrik's base, the war raged on as the animals of DK Island battled against the Kremlings and the Snowmads. Cries of anger and pain filled the air as both sides clashed against each other violently nonstop. It was hard to tell which side was winning.

While everyone busied themselves with contributing to the war, Sakura cried in terror as she rushed around the chaotic battlefield, trying to get out of harm's way. No matter where she look or ran, there were people fighting and getting injured. Sometimes a body would fall down in front of her, freaking her out and making her run in another direction.

"What do I do?! What do I do?!" she cried in panic. "Whoever heard of an idol being in a battlefield?! Let alone a zombie idol?!"

Sakura came to a stop when she saw polar bear wielding a massive hammer standing in her path. Seeing her, the polar bear known as Bashmaster raised his hammer over his head with the intention of crushing her with it. Sakura screamed at the top of her voice as she turned around to run, and when the hammer struck the ground, an explosion of cold mist and ice shards was created, blowing her backwards.

Sakura tumbled onto the ground and then turned around with a look of horror to see Bashmaster coming after her again. "NOOOOOO!" she cried while pointing her hands at him.

Bashmaster was going to hammer her when suddenly Kiddy spun through the air and crashed into his side so hard that he was blown away. Kiddy bounced back into the air and landed on his feet, and then he looked at Sakura and gave her an "okay" sign. "Tha... Thanks...!" the zombie said to him.

Bashmaster got back up and glared at Kiddy before running at him with his hammer raised over his head. However, he was interrupted when Tae jumped at his side and bit him in the waist hard. The polar bear howled in pain and tried to shake off the mindless zombie, who sunk her teeth firmly into his body to latch on tightly.

Kiddy used this opportunity to launch himself through the air like a spinning cannonball, hitting Bashmaster hard in the chest and sending him on his back. Tae then got on top of him, grabbed his head, and slammed it against the ground over and over nonstop while making angry zombie cries.

Bashmaster wasn't one to go down so easily, however. He forcefully stood back up and got the zombie off him, and he roared in anger as he tried to her with his hammer. Tae jumped straight up before he could do so and swung down her hands onto his head with enough force to make him keel forward. She then launched herself into his body, striking him with a flying headbutt to pushed him back several steps. He also dropped his hammer at the side as a result.

Seeing the hammer, Kiddy happily picked it up and held it over his head, a feat that surprised Sakura because of how easily he did so. Kiddy ran towards Bashmaster just as he was sitting back up and bashed him hard on the head.

SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!

With that, the polar beam saw stars and passed out on the ground. Kiddy and Tae raised their arms into the air in triumph while making victory cries.

"Wow! That was awesome! You both did great!" Sakura said to them.

Donkey, who was fighting nearby, saw this and said to them, "Good job, you two!" He then turned to Sakura. "You... Forgot your name! You think you can get into the base over there and find the horn? We can turn the tide of the battle if we get our hands on that!"

"Why me?!" asked Sakura.

Donkey punched a Kritter in the face while replying, "I saw that you were quite a good runner earlier, and seeing how you can't fight, I figured you might as well go get the horn. You don't have to force yourself if you don't want to."

Sakura was unsure about what to do. It was true she couldn't fight and therefore had no use in the battlefield, but part of her felt like wanting to contribute something. Just as she was wondering what answer to give to Donkey, Tae crouched down in front of her with her back facing the red-haired zombie. "Tae? You want to carry me into the base?" Sakura asked her, and the latter nodded.

Remembering that Tae had impressive physical feats, Sakura was convinced that with her help, she might be able to get the horn. "All right, then I'll leave it to you to protect me!" Sakura told her, and the mindless zombie nodded again. Sakura then allowed herself to be carried on Tae's back. The mindless zombie stood up with her hands underneath Sakura then ran towards the base at a fast speed, avoiding anyone standing in their way.

When they were close to the base, Tae performed an incredibly high jump towards one of the second floor windows. Lord Fredrik saw this and was surprised, even more so when the two zombies entered the base through said window.

Sakura got off Tae when the latter landed, and the former said to her, "Good job, Tae!"

"Hey you! Who gave you permission to come in here?!" Lord Fredrik angrily said while pointing at them.

"Oh no..." said Sakura in shock when she saw him, and Tae was growling at him angrily. She tried to hold her composure and then said with a nervous smile on her face, "Excuse me, but... may I please have the horn... you took from Donkey Kong...? Heheh..."

"Oh sure, I'll give it to you... after you're dead!" said Lord Fredrik angrily, and then he ordered the penguin henchmen next to him to attack them.

Tae roared angrily at the approaching spear-wielding penguins and then pounced at them. Her swift movement and fierce appearance freaked out the penguins, and they were easily overpowered and sent flying by her. They never stood a chance against her. Tae then turned to Lord Fredrik and growled angrily at her.

"You think you're a tough girl, huh? I'll show you who the tougher one is, then!" Lord Fredrik said to her.

"I assume this is the one?" said Sakura as she picked up a blowing horn placed on top of a nearby drawer.

Lord Fredrik widened his eyes in shock and then ran towards her. "Hey you! Don't touch that!"

Seeing him approaching, Sakura screamed as she ran with the horn in her hands. Lord Fredrik chased her, but was hindered by Tae biting the back of his leg. "Get off me!" he shouted at the mindless zombie.

Sakura rushed out of the room and down the hallway. Fortunately for her, there was nobody around, so she had a smooth time escaping. Looking at the horn while she ran, she said, "This is the one, right? I can't believe I found it so easily! I better give it to Donkey fast!"

"Get back here!" hollered Lord Fredrik loudly as he gave chase after Sakura, his footsteps causing the floor shake with each step.

"Oh no!" gasped the zombie when she looked back at him, and she concentrated on running as fast as she could.

As the walrus chased Sakura, Tae jumped onto him from behind and bit his shoulder. "Ow! What are you?! A cave woman?!" he angrily said to her while trying to shake her off. "Get off me!" He pulled the zombie off his shoulder and flung her hard into a wall and continued going after Sakura.

The red-haired zombie rushed down the hallway fast and went down a staircase. When she was close to the first floor, she missed a step and tripped, tumbling to the bottom. "Ow!" she cried as she hit the floor and dropped the horn. Getting back up, she hurried over to the horn and picked it up and was relieved to see it not broken.

She looked around and found herself in a large room, and then she noticed something at the side. It was a pair of ice cubes, and Chunky Kong and Ai were frozen inside them. "AI!" Sakura gasped when she saw her friend inside one of them.

Lord Fredrik came to the same floor as her and said, "Give me back to the horn at once!"

Sakura stood up and faced the walrus angrily while pointing at the ice cubes. "How dare you put my friend on ice?! Let her go at once!"

Lord Fredrik looked at them and said, "That is what happens to all those who oppose me! I will see to it that you are frozen like them as well!"

"You villain!" Sakura angrily said to him.

"What do you think you can do to me? You're just a little girl with oddly-colored skin!" the walrus to her in a mocking tone. Suddenly, he screamed in pain. Tae had caught up to him and bit him in the back of his leg. "Stop biting me, you crazy woman!"

Tae was thrown off his leg, and the zombie growled angrily before lunging at him. With a swing of his fist, Lord Fredrik punched her away. Tae recovered from the punch almost instantly, however, and ran at him again. Lord Fredrik caught her by the head and then hurled her across the place and into the wall. She hit it hard and broke down into pieces, a sight that surprised the walrus.

"Tae!" Sakura said in shock.

Lord Fredrik turned to Sakura and said, "I don't know what the case with your friend is, but let's see if you break as easily as her!" He charged at her, but she swiftly got out of the way. The walrus attempted again, only to miss the second time. "Stand still!"

Remembering that Donkey said this horn could double as a weapon, Sakura decided to give it a try. When Lord Fredrik charged at him again, she blew into it hard, releasing a large blast of sound that was so strong that the walrus was blown backwards and slid across the floor until he hit the wall.

Sakura was surprised by this. "Wow! This is awesome!" She then turned to the frozen Chunky and Ai. "Maybe I can use it to free them!" Remembering how she was told one could use his or her mind to determine what one wants to do with this horn, Sakura blew into it with the intention of defrosting her friends. When blown into, the horn released warm wind that traveled over to Chunky and Ai.

Slowly, water was seen dripping from the ice blocks, and they slowly began to melt. When it melted completely, Ai fell to the floor, while Chunky looked around in confusion. The bandaged zombie got back up and looked around in shock and confusion, "Wha?! What the?! What happened?!"

"Ai!" Sakura happily said as she rushed over to Ai to embrace her. "I'm so glad you're all right!"

"Sakura! What happened?" asked Ai.

"You were frozen in ice, and I freed you!" Sakura told her.

"Why you?!" said Lord Fredrik angrily while glaring at them. "Now you've done it! I'm going to freeze you all and then shatter you into millions of pieces!" He charged at them, and the zombies screamed in terror. Chunky hurriedly got in front of them two and pulled back his fist before throwing a powerful punch into the unsuspecting walrus, hitting him in the belly hard and sending him across the room at a fast speed and crashing into a wall.

"Wow..." commented Ai in awe at the strength with which the gorilla punched Lord Fredrik with.


BGM King K. Rool Battle (Donkey Kong 64)

K. Rool and Mario stared down on each other while the battle raged on around them. The crocodile was the first to attack when he took off his crown and threw it at Mario, who jumped out of the way. The former caught the crown as it returned to him and got into a defensive stance when Mario ran at him.

Holding his hands up as if boxing, K. Rool threw a straight jab at the plumber when the latter was close to him, but Mario ducked underneath it and then jumped up, hitting the crocodile underneath his snout with an uppercut. K. Rool took a couple of steps back and then threw a right hook at Mario in anger, but the latter stepped back.

K. Rool kept on closing in on Mario while throwing multiple punches, only for the plumber to skillfully dodge them all. Mario eventually jumped behind him and grabbed his tail. Before K. Rool knew it, the plumber swung him in circles several times before letting go of him to send him flying quite a bit of distance. The crocodile screamed as he soared through the air, and he fell back down, knocking down several people.

K. Rool growled in pain and anger as he got back up and turned around to glare at Mario. "Now you've done it!" he loudly said before running at Mario on all fours like a feral beast. Mario charged at him and jumped towards him with his fist pulled back. K. Rool stood up when close to him and threw a punch, and their fists collided with a powerful force.

However, the crocodile had the more powerful punch, and he succeeded in blowing Mario backwards, though the latter was able to come to a skidding stop on his feet. K. Rool then jumped at Mario with the intention of crushing him underfoot. Mario leaped back but was caught off guard by a shockwave that was created by the crocodile landing. K. Rool was able to punch Mario away afterwards.

The plumber groaned in pain while rubbing his nose, and he opened his eyes to see K. Rool running at him again. The latter jumped at him with his fist pulled back and then brought it down onto him, but Mario rolled out of the way fast.

They glared at each other, and then a voice called out to them. They turned to see that it was Donkey, who was glaring at K. Rool. "Your opponent is me, K. Rool!" the gorilla angrily said to him.

"Oh good! I was hoping to fight you sooner or later!" said K. Rool as he cracked his fist. "Time for you to meet your doom, Donkey Kong!"

They ran at each other and clashed their fists against each other's so hard that a shockwave was created. Donkey immediately followed up with an uppercut to the crocodile's chin and knocked him into the air. K. Rool spun once in the air before landing on his feet, and when Donkey approached him to punch him again, he swung his tail at his legs to knock him down. K. Rool then lifted Donkey over his head before hurling him away.

After Donkey hit the ground, K. Rool jumped at him with his limbs spread out, intending to flatten him with a body slam. Donkey recovered and rolled out of the way in time, and before K. Rool could get back up, Donkey slammed his fists onto his back hard, making him cry in pain.


Lord Fredrik and Chunky clashed against each other furiously. Both sides threw powerful punches and kept on landing painful blows. Chunky, however, appeared to have the upper hand, as his punches were causing more damage to Lord Fredrik than he was receiving it. The walrus showed signs of fatigue after backing away from the gorilla.

As if that wasn't enough, Tae suddenly pounced onto him from behind and bit his shoulder. While Lord Fredrik was in pain, Chunky punched him in the guts hard.

All the while, Sakura and Ai watched them battle from the sidelines. "You can do it! Beat up that bad guy!" cheered Sakura.


K. Rool groaned in pain as he got back up, but was immediately punched in the face by Donkey. He took some steps back from it, and the gorilla closed in on him to continue punching, gradually building up his punching speed.

At the same time, back in the base, Chunky began punching Lord Fredrik nonstop, not giving the latter the chance to fight back, defend, or even move away.

The gorilla punched their opponents mercilessly nonstop, knocking out the lights out of the latter. After keeping this up for several seconds, the Kongs pulled back their fists and then delivered the strongest punches they could.

SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!

BGM Ends

K. Rool was sent flying high into the air from the powerful punch delivered by Donkey, and at the same time, Fredrik received an equally powerful punch from Chunky to the face and shot back through the air, smashing through the wall and traveling high into the sky.

All those present turned their attentions to the sky in shock as they watched K. Rool and Lord Fredrik shoot through the air at a fast speed. Those two flew all the way off the island, catching the attention of their henchmen who were still back on their ships. All watched in shock as the two villain leaders flew towards the sea in the distance until they made large splashes.

The Kremlings and Snowmads had all stopped fighting after seeing what happened and were trying to process this information. Knowing that he had won, Donkey let out a victorious holler while thumping his chest, which grabbed people's attention.

"Great going, Donkey!" Mario said to the gorilla.

"Does this mean we won?" asked Saki.

"I think this is indeed the case!" said Diddy with a smile.

Realizing that their leaders were defeated and that their numbers were dwindling from the battle, the Kremlings and Snowmads thought that there was no more reason to keep on fighting. They screamed in terror as they began fleeing the battlefield, heading back for the shore and onto their ships.

Seeing this, the animals and all the other good guys cheered out loud, knowing that they finally won the battle. "We did it! We defeated the bad guys!" exclaimed Dixie happily.

"All right! We did it!" exclaimed Saki while punching the air and jumping.

The villains all returned to their ships and began setting sail. Funky then appeared in the air in a plane that was carrying a barrel with the word TNT printed on it. Heading for the Snowmad's ship, he said, "There's one thing before I let you go!" He flew above the cannon of the ship and dropped the TNT barrel onto it.

The Snowmads watched curiously at the barrel as it landed next to the cannon, and a few seconds later, the barrel blew up, blasting a hole on the deck and also destroying the cannon. The Snowmads cried in shock as they attempted to put out the fire.

"Haha! Now you can't use that against us or anyone anymore!" said Funky happily while looking down from his plane.

The villains continued to sail farther and farther away from the island, both to escape the place and also rescue their leaders.

They had no intention of returning anymore, at least for a while. They had lost.

While everyone continued to celebrate their victory, Sakura, Ai, Tae, and Chunky came out of the base, the former holding the horn. "We won!" said Sakura happily. Tae also made a victory cry of sorts.

They saw Donkey heading over to them, and the gorilla noticed the horn. "Yes! That's the one!" he said to Sakura.

"Here you go! You know what to do with it!" said Sakura as she handed the horn over to him.

Donkey took the horn and then blew into it. Flowers and warm wind came out of the horn and spread throughout the place at a fast speed. When they came in contact with the ice and snow, they melted, and in no time, flowers began blooming.

"Wow! Incredible!" commented Ai when she saw what the horn was capable of.

The flowers and warm wind spread throughout the whole island in a short amount of time, and in no time, all the snow on the island melted. Spring has come.

Outside the bunker, the zombies there were in awe as they watched the snow melt and the flowers blooming. Bird were also flying around in the air, chirping happily that spring had come.

"Yes! They did it!" exclaimed Lily.

"Wow! This is so beautiful!" said Junko in awe as she looked at the colorful flowers blooming everywhere.

Back on the former battlefield, the good guys were still cheering over their victory and also the island changing back to normal.

They had won the battle. They had saved their island.

It was indeed a time to celebrate.


TO BE CONTINUED

The fight with K. Rool and Lord Fredrik could probably be longer, but... I don't really feel like dragging things out. Hope you still liked what you read.
