Kaptain K Rool and the two ice climbers were transported to the Kaptain's own ship. He was about to ask what they were doing there, but remembered what the voice had said before. There would be 31 matches, and there weren't as many arenas as that, so some had to be created. The crocodile captain wasted no time in getting started, and threw his crown at the ice climbers. It knocked one to the ground, but the other used their mallet to hit the crown back, and it struck the croc right in the stomach.

He growled, put his crown back on, and charged at his two opponents. Popo, the boy, ducked and rolled in between a pile of barrels, and Nana, the girl, jumped high over the lizard, accidentally hitting her head on a piece of netting, and feeling something hard hit her head.

She looked up, and saw that the netting was full of old cannonballs. K Rool had slowed down to a halt, and noticed the girl looking at the cannonballs, so he took off his crown and threw it at the higher regions of his ship. Nana had to swing to miss it, but it tore the netting, and cannonballs fell through, knocking Nana down in the process.

Luckily for Nana, when she landed, Popo pulled her out of the way in just enough time for her to avoid the heavy metal cannon fodder, and K Rool grunted in disappointment. He grunted again, this time in worry, when he heard a large crack and saw that the balls had made a hole in the deck, and were crashing into the hold.

This worked to the cranky croc's advantage though, as the balls made the part of the floor that Nana and Popo were standing on collapse, and they fell into the hold. They soon jumped out, but the few seconds they were in there were all that K Rool needed to load his blunderbuss and start firing as soon as he saw movement.

After some shots came flying their way, the two climbers ducked, rolled, jumped, and dodged in any other way they could think of to avoid being hit. At one point, Nana was forced to roll into the hold again. She landed on a cannonball with a nasty thud, and didn't move.

"Perfect," the Kruel Kaptain said, "Now it's just you and me, kid, one on one." K Rool shot many more blunderbuss strikes, and Popo was struggling to keep avoiding them. Eventually, one hit, and he flew backwards, dropping his hammer accidentally. K Rool picked up a spare cannonball that was lying around, and pushed it into the front of his blunderbuss, before trying to fire it again. At first it did nothing, then smoke appeared at the top of the gun, and then the cannonball shot out of it with huge force.

Popo struggled to lift up his hammer, and just saw the steel ball coming towards him in time. He didn't know what to do, so as a reflex, he swung his hammer and tried to hit it, and the K Rool's surprise, it worked! The cannon ball was struck back into the blunderbuss, and when the crafty crock tried to fire it again, this time it didn't fire. It exploded.

The charred Kaptain angrily picked up cannonballs and threw them instead of firing them. Popo got an idea from this, as he saw a huge mast behind K Rool, and after dodging various objects, he aimed, and struck a cannonball back, aimed straight at K Rool, who promptly ducked, and the ball struck the mast. Popo looked hopeful, but nothing happened, and K Rool laughed. "That's the toughest mast in the world, sonny. You're not likely to break it with your strength, your hammer, or your friend," he taunted, rolling a cannonball towards the gap to the hold.

Popo gasped. He'd forgotten about Nana, and if that cannonball landed on her, she'd be out for good! He jumped into the hold and saw the ball coming down, so he jumped towards Nana and pushed her out of the way. Unfortunately, that didn't stop the ball from falling onto him instead.

The Kaptain laughed, and Popo struggled to keep from fainting. He felt someone pick him up, but he couldn't feel his arms or legs, let alone try to stop them. He only regained his senses when he felt someone throw him against the mast, which he hit with a solid crash.

He felt around for his hammer to try and fight back, but it was still at the other end of the ship. The Kaptain threw another cannonball at him, and Popo only just had enough energy to dodge it. He weaved back and forth between the missiles, but eventually, he was hit, and slammed into the mast again.

He could barely keep his eyes open when he heard the great croc scream. He focussed on the fight again, regained his energy, and stood up, when he saw Nana, who had gained consciousness, and returned to the deck with her mighty mallet, which she was using to whack anything she could and the krazy Kaptain.

After some cannonballs and barrels struck K Rool, Nana was nearly out of things to hit. She only had one cannonball left, but she knew what to do with it. She aimed it at the floor just in front of the Kaptain, and it broke, sending him into the hold. While he was cursing at her and vowing his revenge once he got out, Popo grabbed the last cannonball from his side of the ship, and aimed it into the hold, hard.

It didn't hit K Rool, but it made a splintering crash sound, and the ship began to slowly sink. "You idiots," yelled K Rool. "If I go down, I'm taking you with me!"

Nana and Popo looked at each other, and then the huge mast of the ship. They smiled, and started to climb to the top. They were more used to mountains, but they climbed to the top before the water came up to K Rool's feet, and they sat down and rested until they were teleported out as the winners.

"FIGHT OVER! WINNER: ICE CLIMBERS!"
