In terms of chapters this is now the longest story I've written. And I'm not even done the third arc.
Chapter 20: The King Approaches
POW
"Come on Mario move faster." yelled Cranky.
At the moment Mario was carrying Cranky piggyback style through the jungle. Mario's above average strength allowed him to carry Cranky at an incredible speed with little physical effort.
POW
The only physical strain came from Cranky's "back seat driving".
"Come on hurry up we've got to find my retarded son before it's too late." yelled Cranky.
"You-a know if you explain the-a problem I-a may be able to help more." said Mario.
Cranky growled loudly "I guess I don't have much of a choice, we'll need all the help we can get for what's coming." Cranky exhaled before continuing "Remember when the Crystal coconut blasted us with its energy?"
"Yeah, the energy scrambled my-a brain causing all sorts of hallucinations." said Mario.
POW
"Those weren't hallucinations they were messages. Stupid." yelled Cranky.
"Messages?"
"Yes messages, the crystal coconut sensed the danger and out of desperation warned the closets sentient beings it could find which happened to be us. Fortunately I'm versed in how the crystal communicates so I'm able to understand what it's trying to say." explained Cranky.
"Ohhhhh, wait does-a this mean the crystal coconut-a is ALIVE?" asked Mario.
POW
"Look no one in the entire history of the island has ever been truly able to understand the full nature and working of the crystal coconut. And that's not due to lack of trying. It's got all sorts of supernatural powers" Cranky explained "There are even those that claim it is not of this world."
"I wonder what that-a crystal was-a trying to warn us about." Mario thought, Mario closed his eyes and tried to remember the images that went through his head when the crystal coconut blasted him. Unfortunately the images went too fast for him to remember them clearly.
"WATCH OUT FOR THAT TREE!" yelled Cranky.
Mario suddenly opened his eyes to find himself charging towards a tree; fortunately he managed to move out of the way in time.
POW POW POW POW
"Don't strain your mind "hero"." said Cranky "Just take me where I have to go and I'll do the rest. Got it."
Mario sighed before saying "Fine" and without another word he continued through the jungle "I don't know how much more of this "bonding time" I can take."
Elsewhere...
By now it was late afternoon on the island of Kongo Bongo. As a result the island jungle was full of life, the multitude of animals that lived on the island were busy doing their daily deeds making the jungle vibrant in sounds. The village was also quite noisy as the Kong's were now aware of the possibility of a Kremling attack and were busy preparing, of course the possibility of Kremling attack was nothing unusual so the citizens were able to prepare in a calm, orderly almost monotonous manner. Basically the whole jungle was quite noisy.
Except for 1 area.
On a cliff at the base of Kongo Bongo's signature mountain laid a huge cave. There were no animals nearby (sentient or otherwise) causing the place to be deathly quiet. In front of the cave was a large clearing (3 times the size of the 1 Bowser and Donkey Kong fought in) almost as if the trees themselves were afraid to grow near this cave. The unnatural quiet gave the cave an ominous feel.
VROOOOOOOM
Ploughing through the bushes was K. Rool riding some sort of assault vehicle. The vehicle was about the size of an average car and was covered in deep gray metal. Its long tubular body was designed to look like a crocodile with caterpillar tracks on it sides replacing legs. The driver's seat (which was located on the center back) was designed to look like a throne with a cross seatbelt and controls on both sides of the throne. The controls were basically joysticks. The final feature on this vehicle was a pair of large hi-tech cannons located on each side of the driver's seat.
"HA, HA my latest weapon, S.O.B.E.K is a real work of art, thanks to it that ride was as smooth as silk." K. Rool boasted.
"I'm glad you enjoyed yourself." said Dr. Facilier sarcastically; since K. Rool's vehicle only had 1 seat Dr. Facilier had to cling on to the vehicles "tail". Since he couldn't hold onto the tail and Peach's cage, Peach was being carried by some random solider. Without another word Dr. Facilier got off the vehicle and wiped off the grim and dirt that had accumulated all over him.
K. Rool was too pleased with his latest vehicle to notice Facilier's sarcasm "Ha, ha you want to know why I called this device S.O.B.E.K?" K. Rool continued before Facilier could respond "S.O.B.E.K is an acronym for Stereophonic Obliterator Built to Eliminate Kong's."
"Stereo-what?" Dr. Facilier asked.
"Stereophonic! It a reference to the 2 powerful cannons on the S.O.B.E.K designed to blast those filthy apes with super powered sound waves, hence the title Stereophonic Obliterator Built to Eliminate Kong's."
"Shouldn't it be S.O.B.T.E.K then?" asked a random Kremling solider (the one carrying Peach's cage to be specific). K. Rool looked to see an army of Kremling minions coming out of the bushes into the clearing.
"Ah good now that's everyone's here we can descend into..." K. Rool pointed at the cave "... Ghastly Cave."
Everyone remained silent, transfixed by the sinister cave. To all denizens of the island, sentient or otherwise, Kong or Kremling; Ghastly cave was a place deep rooted in superstition.
"NOW!" yelled K. Rool, with that everyone went rushed into the cave, as afraid of the cave as they were they all feared angering their king more.
As the Kremlings moved into the cave Facilier's shadow returned, Facilier looked to the ground in order to communicate "Anything to report."
The shadow then made a serious of weird gestures in order to communicate, Kremlings who saw the spectacle nervously tried to stay out of the way, while K. Rool watched in morbid fascination.
"What's it saying?" K. Rool asked when the shadow appeared to be finished.
"Apparently some customers of mine are trying to find me in order to complain." said Dr. Facilier "And there not alone either they've managed to round up their buddies as well as a mob of apes."
"Apes?" K. Rool asked, hoping it was not who he thought it was. Facilier's shadow made more gestures.
"According to my shadow, the ape's leader appears to be a big fella with a red tie." Dr. Facilier translated.
"Donkey Kong!" K. Rool snarled "Those other apes must be his insufferable crew. Why do those filthy apes constantly stick their noses where they don't belong?" K. Rool snarled some more "How many of my men do you need for the ceremony?"
Dr. Facilier did some quick calculations "Including the lead dancer, around 30."
K. Rool then did some calculations of his own "I brought 50 men with me, so that would leave 20 men to take down the Kong's."
"You sure that will be enough to take down those meddlers?" Dr. Facilier asked.
"Maybe but I'm not getting my hopes up, at the very least they'll buy us time until the ceremony complete." said K. Rool, with that K. Rool started to move S.O.B.E.K into the cave in order to round up troops.
"I should probably tell him the truth about what he's dealing with." Thought Facilier "I won't be able to bring the plan to fruition if he gets whooped to soon."
"You're Majesty" K. Rool turned to Facilier, "I feel I should warn you, those guys teaming up with the DK crew are Mario's comrades."
"Mario? As in the superstar of the mushroom kingdom?" asked K. Rool.
"The same and another member of that little group is well... Bowser."
K. Rool rotated his seat so that he was facing Facilier before yelling "BOWSER! AS IN THE KING OF MUSHROOM DARK LANDS!"
Facilier grinned sheepishly before nodding; he was worried K. Rool would get angry over the news and take it out on him. Instead K. Rool grinned before laughing manically.
"Oh glorious day, if everything goes well I'll not only destroy Donkey Kong and his meddling friends but Bowser as well." said K. Rool gleefully while spinning his seat around.
With a wide smile on his face K. Rool proceeded to head into the cave. He then stopped at the caves sinister entrance, although he managed to maintain a grin, one could still see he was quite nervous about entering the infamous cave "Just out of curiosity sake, what is your motivation for helping us." K. Rool asked, he need to know that he could trust the doctor for what they were planning.
"Oh I'm just a business man trying to earn an honest buck." Dr. Facilier said with fake sincerity "You are going to pay me after all this."
K. Rool grins before saying "Of course you'll receive everything you deserve." "Good thing he's only after money, greedy people are so easy to manipulate." Believing he had nothing to fear K. Rool drove his S.O.B.E.K into the cave.
When Dr. Facilier was alone he grinned sinisterly "That idiot thinks this is all about money, if he only knew, he he he." His shadow then made some gestures "You're right, I doubt those overgrown lizards would be able to handle those meddlers, which is why I'm going to call on my friends from the other side." said Dr. Facilier. Then Dr. Facilier pulled his cane out from his shirt pocket of all places held the purple sphere to his face and started to chant. As he chanted the purple sphere started to glow, when the sphere glowed its brightest he stopped chanting and pointed the sphere forward.
After that the sphere stopped glowing, if a normal person was to see the event they would see nothing out of the ordinary (aside from a fatigued witch doctor) but if someone versed in the spirit world was to look they would see a portal to the "other side" had opened in front of the doctor.
One looking inside the portal would see nothing but a black abyss and a gray mist. Dr. Facilier took a moment to catch his breath before reaching into his shirt and pulling out the Tiki amulet (the same 1 he used in the ritual that turned Peach into a frog), the Tiki amulet glowed for a while after the glow 3 figures completely shadowed by the portals darkness could be seen from the inside of the portal. The only identifiable features of the figures were the pairs of yellow eyes they all wielded.
Dr. Facilier then kissed the amulet "ahh this thing got loads of uses." With that he put the amulet away before looking towards the portal, some beastly growls and snarls were coming from the yellow eyed figures.
"Friends, I've got a favour to ask." said Dr. Facilier.
Meanwhile...
Lanky Kong hummed his own little spy tune while he attempted to move stealthily through the jungle. He then moved towards a large bush which was slightly muffling the strange sound they heard previously, once Lanky was sure the sounds were coming from beyond the bush he then made a gesture telling the others to come to him.
Once everyone was assembled they poked their heads through the bush to find the source of the strange noise.
They were all surprised to find the source of the sound was a jazz playing Kremling. This particular Kremling was 7 feet tall, chubby and had dark green skin with brownish yellow underbelly and deep dark green spines on his back. He was playing music with a tiny trumpet (so small that it he looked rather comical playing it) using a tree stump as a stage. He was so engrossed with his music that he didn't notice his new "audience" watching him from the bushes.
The group had no comment on the spectacle.
"We came all this way to find a Kremling playing music?" Tiny Kong asked.
"Wait a minute that's a Kremling, as in the nasty evil lizards and sworn enemies to the Kong's?" Ness asked. Ness imagined that the Kremlings would be very menacing in appearance, this Kremling however did not give off any bad vibes as he played on his little trumpet, in fact he was quite good at it.
"You want to know what I think." said Luigi.
"No, no one wants to know what you think." said Bowser bluntly.
Luigi decided to ignore Bowser "I think we should leave and continue our search, I mean look a single Kremling out all alone, it's clearly a trap so that when we move in they'll ambush us."
"I agree" said Chunky Kong trying to sound brave "This couldn't be a more obvious trap if there was a sign that said free cookies."
"Free Cookies, where, where" said Yoshi, Yoshi was busy listening to the music so he only heard part of the conversation. At the mention of cookies he enthusiastically looked around. When he didn't find the cookies nearby he rushed over to the Kremling before anyone could object.
Yoshi poked the Kremling in the legs in order to get his attention "Excuse me but where are the cookies?"
"Cookies?" the Kremling asked.
"Yeah my friends over there said you had free cookies." said Yoshi as he pointed to his friends, the Kremling then noticed the assortment of people who had gathered on that bush. More accurately he noticed Donkey Kong and the DK crew.
At the sight of DK and his crew, the Kremling screeched like a little girl before feebly trying to hide behind the stump he was on.
"Please don't beat me up; I'm not up to any dastardly deeds I swear." pleaded the Kremling.
Everyone was dumbfounded by the event.
"Call me crazy but I don't think that guys a threat." said Game&Watch.
"He's just crying crocodile tears in order to lure us into a false sense of security." said Diddy Kong.
"You sure about that?" asked Lanky.
Diddy crossed his arms in pride "of course I do, I haven't forgotten all the times the Kremlings tried to trick us, nor all the other bad things they've done. There's no way we're going to fall for his little ruse right DK." As Diddy turned to question DK he found that DK was not there, instead DK was over at the trembling Kremling.
"Sorry about scaring you, I'm not going to hurt you." said DK.
Realising DK was not going to harm him the chubby Kremling immediately calmed down. When the other realised there was no trap they all moved out of the bush towards the Kremling.
"(sigh), sorry about jumping to conclusions earlier, your somewhat of a Kremling boogeyman." said the relaxing Kremling "Lets start over; my name is Louis, royal musician to the Kremling court."
"Louis?" said the Kong's with raised eyebrows.
"You have a problem with my name." asked Louis.
"Seriously where are those cookies?" said Yoshi apparently still looking for the nonexistent cookies.
Everyone ignored Yoshi "Well to be honest it's kind of weird hearing a Kremling named Louis, usually Kremlings have names that start with the letter K." said Lanky.
"Really, why?" asked Dr. Mario.
"K is a scared letter to the Kremlings that why we try to name pretty much everything so that the first letter is K." explained Louis "Even if it ends up grammatically incorrect."
"Why doesn't your name start with a K then." asked Ness.
"Well were not all zealots so naturally..." Louis was abruptly interrupted when Bowser grabbed his mouth and kept it shut.
"All right, all right enough of this little tea party." said Bowser angrily "you all seem to have forgotten that we came out here to find Princess Peach Toadstool, it's important that we find her before Mario can rescue... I mean before Facilier does something bad to her."
The DK crew and the students looked down at their feet in shame (except Yoshi who was still looking for the cookies) "For once I agree with Bowser, we must be doing something wrong if HE'S lecturing us." said Luigi.
"Well we did get a bit distracted." said Diddy "From here on out we should continue our..."
SQUWAK
"OH COME ON!"
SQUAWK SQUAWK SQUAWK
The squawking was coming from a small light green parrot (in terms of parrot size it was quite average), the parrot had a cylinder shaped body with bulging cartoonish eyes and yellow tips on it feathers.
The squawking parrot then landed on a low branch "Message to Louis the musician from King K. Rool, Squawk." said the Parrot "By the way good to see you DK, Squawk."
"Hey Squawk how you doing." said DK.
"You know this bird?" asked Luigi.
"Sure, he's Squawk 1 of my animal buddies." said DK, casually. With that Squawk waved his wing at everyone.
"Question, if the bird is your buddy why is he working with K. Rool." Asked Bowser, obviously he was referring to the fact that Squawk was delivering messages from K. Rool.
"Squawk, it quite simple really I help the Kong's out because there my friends." explained Squawk cheerfully "I help the Kremlings out because the last parrot that refused to help them was roasted on a spit." said a now depressed Squawk.
"I know how you feel." said Louis "although there are a lot of Kremlings genuinely loyal to K. Rool most of us are just following orders." Louis got really depressed for the next part "For example, I hold no love for K. Rool because he doesn't let me play jazz music, he'll let me play any kind of music I want as long as it's not jazz."
"(gasp) he doesn't let you play jazz." said Lanky.
"Apparently he hates jazz." said Louis "Jazz is my favourite music, in my opinion no other type of music can compare to jazz, that's why I come here so I can play my music favourite music without being punished."
"Why don't you try playing music for someone else?" Ness asked.
"I tried that once."
Flashback:
A couple of years ago, a cruise ship went to Kongo Bongo as part of an excursion, during the night while the ship was docked Louis snuck on board in order to play his music for the people on the cruise.
On the night in question a jazz band was playing on the Lido deck and Louis could be seen behind the stage looking left and right mischievously. When he saw his chance he jumped onto the stage and started playing with all his heart.
Everything was going pretty well until...
"GODLESS ABONIMATION"
Lance Morningstar was in the audience (dressed in Hawaiian garb as opposed to his usual crusader outfit); at the sight of the "godless abomination" Lance pulled his sword out of somewhere and charged his way through the audience. When Louis realised he was going to attack him he ran for dear life screaming his head off.
Lance chased Louis all over the ship all night long.
Back to present times...
"It didn't end well." Louis then sighed in depression "oh well no use crying over spilt milk." Louis turned to Squawk "What kind of message does his royal pain-in-the-butt have for little old me."
"A vague one, Squawk. All he said was to come to Ghastly cave immediately" Squawk said "other than that I'm supposed to lead you there he didn't give any other info."
"GHASTLY CAVE!" yelled Louis and the DK crew, Chunky then fainted in fright.
Those that weren't native to the island were confused "Why are they so afraid of this cave?" asked Luigi.
"BECAUSE THEY'RE SMART THAT'S WHY." yelled a voice.
Everyone turned to find the source of the voice and found it belonged to Cranky Kong who was standing next to a fatigued Mario.
"MARIO!" Bowser yelled "What are you doing here."
"What am I doing-a here what are-a you doing a here." said Mario.
"We're here trying to rescue Peach." said Yoshi who just seconds ago realised there were no cookies.
"What-a do you mean by "rescuing Peach" said Mario in a very serious voice.
The students all looked to each other and decided since the cat was out of the bag they would explain everything to Mario.
After the explanation...
"So let-a me get this straight. After-a Peachy was kidnapped by a witch-a doctor you all decided to rescue her without-a me." said Mario.
"As a matter of fact yes. We all knew you'd only get in the way so we left you behind." said Bowser.
Diddy smirked before saying "I thought the whole reason we left Mario behind was because Bowser didn't want Mario to show him..."
"SHUT UP" yelled Bowser.
POW
Cranky whacked Bowser on the head with enough force that Bowser could feel it even with his thick head. Cranky then scowled at everyone (excluding Chunky because he was still unconscious) before saying "Unfortunately for you guys the situation is more complicated then you idiots think a lot more... who the heck is this guy." By the end Cranky finally noticed Louis.
"This is our new friend Louis." said DK.
Louis grinned sheepishly at Cranky; Cranky however bored his eyes into the Kremling before turning towards DK and whispering "you do know that your new "friend" is a Kremling right?"
"Don't worry dad he's a friendly Kremling." said DK, with that Cranky went and looked Louis right in the eyes, he continued to stare at Louis for a few seconds before turning away saying "I suppose he all right, he's far too stupid to be a double agent."
Louis was trying to decide if he should take that as a complement or an insult.
"Any ways back to the issue at hand." said Cranky "In order to understand the problem I'm going to have to tell you the whole story, SO PAY ATTENTION."
Everyone nodded to show Cranky he had they're attention (with the exception of Chunky who was still unconscious and Squawk who looked indifferent).
BGM: Dive into the Heart (Kingdom Hearts)
With that Cranky began to talk "It all started roughly 4000 years ago when the Kremlings came to Kongo Bongo after their own island was swallowed up by a great earthquake. When the Kremling learned that this island was already inhabited by the Kong's the Kremlings decided to enslave the Kong's and take over the island so..."
"Excuse me a moment." said Louis "but we Kremling were taught in school that when we came to this island the Kong's attacked us because they wanted us out of their land. The Kremlings just wanted to live in peace and had no intention of conquest."
POW
"Keep your propaganda to yourself and let me finish." said Cranky.
Bowser rolled his eyes "History was written by liars who weren't there." Bowser said to himself.
"MAY I CONTINUE!" with that Cranky continued his story "As a result of the Kong's and the Kremling dislike for each other they began to fight. Not a petty bad neighbour squabble like today, but an all-out bloody war. Both sides were evenly matched, the Kremlings with their overwhelming numbers and the Kong's with our knowledge of the land. It seemed to war would go on forever until one day the Crystal Coconut unleashed its greatest power of all, you see every 10,000 years the Crystal Coconut produces special milk and he who drinks the milk becomes invincible. This special milk was drunk by the current leader of the Kong's who was known as "Ghastly Kong", with the crystal coconuts power flowing through him he became an unstoppable warrior, and he managed to turn the tide of the war to our favour. Eventually the surviving Kremlings realised they were beaten and decided to surrender. But it was no use by now the Ghastly Kong had gone mad with power; he wanted to destroy the ever single trace of the Kremlings and was willing to tear the island asunder to do it. He renamed himself "The Ghastly King" and became a savage tyrant. Both the Kong's and the Kremlings feared that he's evil ways would spell the end so they teamed up and using ancient other worldly magic sealed the evil monster inside a cave, a cave that will now and forever be known as Ghastly Cave. Everyone on the island stays away from the cave because they fear the evil that now sleeps with it."
Squawk rolled his eyes "Don't tell you all believe that old wives tale, squawk." Squawk said sceptically.
POW
"IT IS NOT A JUST A STORY ITS ALL TRUE." Yelled Cranky "THE CRYSTAL COCONUT WARNED ME ABOUT THE DANGER, THAT WITCH DOCTOR HAS TEAMED UP WITH K. ROOL IN ORDER TO UNLEASH THAT MONSTER ON US ALL!"
"Um what exactly do you mean by unleash it?" Luigi asked while sweating bullets.
Cranky sighed "after the Ghastly King was sealed away the Kong's and the Kremlings had a chance to live in peace. They would have if the Kremlings hadn't deceived the Kong's..."
"I heard it was the other way around." said Louis.
Cranky ignored Louis "Behind our backs the Kremlings created a series of spells that would not only free the Ghastly King but re-imprison it at will..."
"And then the Ghastly King would obey the one who freed it or else get sealed back into the cave" said Ness.
Cranky nodded.
"What does this have to do with Peach." asked Bowser.
"In order to free the Ghastly King, certain requirements are needed." Cranky answered "First, a special voodoo dance must be performed in front of the seal by 30 dancers. Then while the seal is brimming with magic a maiden, pure of body, mind and soul must sing the song of awakening while a musician plays the song of awakening on an instrument. Once the Ghastly King is free, a person with the re-imprisonment spell mealy has to utter the word for the King to be re-imprisoned."
End BGM
Although Yoshi contained his childlike cheerfulness, everyone else was quite shocked by the news of Facilier's plan.
"So K. Rool wants me to go to Ghastly Cave so he can use my music to revive some ancient evil." said Louis.
Cranky nodded.
"And Facilier kidnapped the princess in order to use her in that ritual." said Bowser.
Cranky nodded.
"There still 1 thing I don't get." asked Dr. Mario, everyone turned to him in confusion "Was it really necessary for Facilier to turn Peach into a frog couldn't he just kidnap her as a human?"
"Huh that I don't have the answer for." said Cranky.
"That's easy." said Yoshi in his usual cheerful voice "He turned Peach into a frog so she'd be easier to carry." Everyone silently agreed with that logic.
POW
"Why did you hit me on the head?" Yoshi asked.
"Because you don't seem to understand the situation." said Cranky "If you did understand the situation you wouldn't be so cheerful."
"But if we stop ritual then evil monkey king won't come back right." said Yoshi.
Cranky reluctantly nodded.
BGM: Fairy Tail main Theme
"Then there's nothing to worry about." said Yoshi "all we got to do is beat up bad guys, stop ritual and save the princess. Easy-pesy."
Cranky nearly had a heart attack in shock "do you really think it will be that easy?"
DK got up and put his hand on Cranky's shoulder "Don't worry dad, stopping the ritual will be easy for me and my crew, right crew."
The DK crew (minus the unconscious Chunky) all started to bang their chests in excitement, pumping themselves up for the upcoming battle.
"Don't forget about-a me." said Mario "Nothing is-a going to-a stop me from saving Peach and Kongo Bongo."
"Even if you save the island I still won't forgive you." said Cranky, partial anger at how everyone seemed to underestimating the situation.
"So what." said Mario.
Cranky was left completely aghast.
1 by 1 each of the students agreed to join along ad stop the revival of the Ghastly King, though Bowser made it very clear he was only interested in winning Peach and Luigi agreed with very little enthusiasm.
"Now that, that's settled" DK turned to Squawk "You know the way to Ghastly Cave right?"
"Sorry DK I can't lead you there. Squawk" said Squawk "If I lead you guys to the cave, K. Rool would have me, plucked, stuffed and roasted before I could say Squawk."
"What if..." said Louis "You followed your orders and lead me to the cave and DK and his friends "happened" to follow us without our "knowing"."
Everyone looked at Louis in shock "you'd do that?" Diddy asked in shock.
"Of course" said Louis "I grew up listening to scary stories about the Ghastly King and well... I don't want that monster to come back to the island any more then you guys do."
Once the shock of their new ally's resolve wore off, everyone nodded in agreement.
Squawk took flight "Well I'd best be off, follow me "Louis"" Squawk winked at Louis's name.
With that Squawk flew off with Louis, the students and the DK crew following him.
Chunky managed to regain consciousness just as everyone was leaving "Where is everyone going." He groggily asked.
"We're going to Ghastly Cave, cousin." said Tiny Kong.
With that Chunky fainted again.
To be continued...
Trivia
K. Rool's new vehicle S.O.B.E.K is named after Sobek the Egyptian Crocodile God.
The Ghastly king is the main antagonist from the video game "Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat", his past was made up by yours truly in order to make him fit in the story.
You may or may not be interested to know that Lance Morningstar was born and raised in Rome, where he was a part of the Roman Catholic church, as a middle-aged man his extremist ways got him kicked out of the church. Still determined to continue his "crusade" he traveled the world hoping to gain support to battle "abominations of god". He eventually got the support needed to start his organization when he came went to America. Although no-one knows who specifically gave him support it is said to be the republicans (although this has never come from a very liable source).
