Donkey Kong

By Resetti

A/N: Before I start, I just want to thank you all, especially CEObrainz, for accepting me into the Smash fanfic community. I've been on this site for about a year now (eleven months to be precise), but this is the first time I've been involved in something major. For you other writers involved, as I am new to these collaborations, give me tips on how I can improve my writing, and be sure to check out my story, Legion of Smash Brothers. Anyways, here is the third-person, action packed chapter of this story!

Across the seas, south of the famous land known as the Mushroom Kingdom, there existed an island known as DK island, were bananas grew plentifully, and jungle plants flourished. It was afternoon, and the tropical sun shone upon the island, providing plenty of warmth, or perhaps, too much of it. It was in times like these that the island's population, which was made up of a race of apes known as the Kongs, took to doing many kinds of recreational activities, among them swinging from tree to tree. One of the Kongs, a hero known throughout the island, was doing just that. As the Kong swung through the tree, his only article of clothing, a red tie, zipped over his shoulders, flapping around in the wind. When the Kong came to a stop, his red tie fell over his chest, revealing the letters "DK." Those happened to be the initials of this Kongs name-Donkey Kong. The ape was exhilarated from all the swinging. "Man that was awesome! In fact, this life is awesome!"

DK, after praising himself, went back to swinging from tree to tree, this time heading towards his home. The ape, after his final swing, swung cleanly into the window of his home, a tree house. DK's room inside the tree house had many knickknacks, including a hammock, a television set, a phonograph belonging to an old Kong known as Cranky, and a radio. The Kong, clearly tired from all the swinging, went towards his hammock to get some rest, but not before putting on his radio, which started playing the DK Rap, a tune known for its corny lyrics, and the word "hell." DK soon changed it immediately. "I need something I can relax to."

The Kong eventually found the song he was looking for- Jungle Japes, a relaxing tune that was often associated with the first world in his adventures. DK then sighed in relief. "Ah, just like old times."

The song was playing as the Kong got his rest, with the rhythm of the song creeping into him as he fell asleep. Some time passed, and the Kong soon awoke, refreshed from the afternoon nap. "Man, nothing like an afternoon nap to refresh this Kong!"

The Kong was inching himself out of bed when suddenly, a green parrot swooped in through the window, startling the Kong. The ape was more than upset to be scared like that. "Hey Squawks, what's the big idea? Can't you see this ape just had some shut-eye and was going to enjoy the rest of the day?"

The parrot immediately apologized for his actions. Squawks was a green colored parrot, save for his yellow beak and his green colored wing and tail feathers which tapered to yellow and red ends. He was an ally of the Kongs, helping them throughout many adventures. The parrot then explained to DK why he came over. "Quick DK, there's trouble! The Banana Hoard has been stolen!"

"That no good K. Rool!" The Kong shouted beat his chest voraciously. He soon hopped out the window, and followed Squawks to the scene. The ape soon heard a voice call from a cabin along the way. "Donkey Kong, come over here!"

"Alright I will, but don't blame me when K. Rool makes off with our bananas!" DK said, heading towards the cabin. The Kong stepped into the dwelling, and was immediately greeted by an old Kong, his grandfather, in a rocking chair. This Kong always gave the ape helpful advice to help him throughout his adventures, and he was adept at science as well, creating potions to give the Kongs new abilities. His name was Cranky Kong.

"It sure looks like that K. Rool is at it again, yes siree. Drink this, and it will grant you a new ability that will be useful in taking down K. Rool." Cranky stated, giving DK a potion. The ape drank the potion, and suddenly, he started acting out.

"W-what's happening to me?" shouted DK as he acted out due to the potion's effects. Cranky Kong soon calmed him down once again.

"Just wait, and see Donkey Kong." The old Kong advised. Suddenly, the ape jumped up into the air, and slammed himself onto the ground. The ape was then amazed at the raw power, much to Cranky's delight. The old Kong was happy that the potion worked. "That is what I call the Simian Slam!"

"Thanks for your help Cranky!" DK shouted. With that, the ape rushed out of the cabin, only to see an airship was lifting up with the Banana Hoard in the net. The propellers were blowing away lots of leaves, and rustling the grass, but the Kong was heavy enough to keep his footing. The ape, in an effort to board the ship, climbed onto a tree, and swung from it, trying to reach to net. Unfortunately, the ape was short of reach, and fell down. Before he could hit the ground, however, Squawks managed to grab onto him, and fly him up to the net. DK, latching on, then thanked the parrot. "Thanks, I owe you one."

"You're welcome!" the parrot squawked as it flew away. DK, seeing that he was alone, crawled on the net towards the cable that held the bananas. The Kong then spun his body around in an effort to cut the cable, but unfortunately, the cable was electric, giving DK a shock.

"Dang, that hurt!" DK shouted in anger. To make matters worse, the electric shock was loud enough to attract some of the kritters on board. They climbed down the ship, and came down the net where DK was, much to the Kong's dismay. "Give me a break."

The Kong wound up his fists, and punched each Kritter, causing them to fall off the net and into the tree tops below. After the fight, DK went back to trying to cut the cable, but unfortunately, more Kritters arrived. They lunged at the Kong, trying to bite him, but they wound up getting socked in the jaw. Many Kritters were getting socked until their numbers were reduced to one. The last kritter tried to bite DK, but the Kong dodged, causing the kritter to miss, and head towards the electric cable, much to its dismay. DK soon smiled at its fate.

"Say bye-bye." The ape mocked. The kritter then bit down on the cable, electrocuting it. DK then grabbed on to its tail, and swung it around, allowing him to gain enough altitude to swing onto the ship. The electrocuted enemy, sure enough, fell off the net, and onto the jungle below. Meanwhile, DK charged along the airship, and since he wiped out all the kritters onboard, the run was smooth. The Kong, reaching the captain's quarters, spun his arm around, and gave the door a punch, breaking it. It was then that he met the captain himself, King K. Rool. "You are at the end of the rope K. Rool, so fork over the stash!"

"You silly ape!" K. Rool shouted as he started to charge for DK. You'll never be able to get your bananas!"

The Kremling King sped towards DK, and tried to body slam him, but the Kong dodged, causing him to overbalance himself and fall. The King got up, and found he was on the opposite side of DK, facing the ship controls. "Not bad Kong but you are going to have to do better than that!"

K. Rool charged once again, but DK side stepped once again, causing the Kremling King to fall face first into the ship controls, violently jerking the vessel. DK then stepped up to finish the job. "You are right where I want you K. Rool. Get ready for a dose of my Simian Slam!"

The Kong jumped into the air, and slammed his fists into K. Rool, smashing him into the controls. This caused the ship to veer into a tree, which in turn caused it to explode. DK, seeing this, then made an effort to escape, but turned and saw K. Rool trying to make a grab for him. "If I'm going to perish, you might as well do it with me!"

DK avoided the Kritter, and jumped out the crashing ship. He then found himself in the air, and started free falling. "I guess this is it."

Luckily, however, Squawks swooped in, and grabbed the Kong, flying him safely to the ground. DK showed his thanks to the bird once again. "I owe you one again."

Squawks accepted DK's thanks, but suddenly, he started squawking loudly. "K. Rool is escaping!"

"Hey, don't you dare run off with my bananas!" DK shouted, facing K. Rool. The villain was holding the net which contained the bananas behind his back, was sprinting as far as he could away from the Kong. Unfortunately for him, DK caught up easily, and jumped up to attack him. "Simian Slam!"

The ape smashed K. Rool with the attack so hard that his head came off! The head rolled around the ground while the Kong panicked. "Whoa, I didn't mean to take it that far!"

"Relax, it's just a robot." Squawks replied, pointing DK to the sparking wires that extended from its body. DK sighed in relief as he watched the metal body spark some more. After the electricity died down, a white slip of paper popped out of the body, surprising the two. "What's that?"

DK approached the robot body, and pulled out the paper. The Kong was at first surprised at how thick it was, but eventually realized it was an envelope. The envelope was oddly addressed to him. "What do these guys want with me?"

The envelope had an official looking seal on it that had the words "Super Smash Bros Brawl." DK seemed to like the letter. The Kong always liked to brawl; doing that with any kritter that messed with him. He tore open the envelope, and pulled out the letter inside. The Kong, along with Squawks, then read it eagerly.

Donkey Kong

Tree House

Donkey Kong Island

Dear Donkey Kong,

If you are reading this letter, it means you are strong, and skilled enough to break through the titanium steel of this robot, and that you have successfully reclaimed the Banana Hoard for your clan. It also means you are strong and skilled enough to be accepted into the upcoming tournament, Super Smash Bros Brawl. Consider yourself special because you and thirty-four other fighters are the only people out of hundreds to be accepted.

This tournament is a pitting of many fighters alike, a fighting competition where each fighter shows off their skills, wits, and abilities. The winner receives the title known as "Champion," as well as riches beyond your wildest dreams. Remember though, the competition will be fierce- you are competing against the other thirty-four top fighters.

If you do not have transportation, then don't worry as the torso of the robot you just dismembered will transport you to your destination when activated. You don't need to bring anything fancy- just yourself, and your honed abilities. We hope to see you no later than five days from now, and we wish you a great brawl!

Sincerely,

Master Hand

DK, after finishing the letter, put it away while Squawks congratulated him. "Congratulations DK, didn't you see it? You and thirty four others out of hundreds! That's incredible, you must've been good!"

DK nodded his head. "Yeah, I see it, but it also means I'll be gone in five days. Anyways, I have to train for this brawl; I see that thirty four other top fighters will be there as well."

The Kong picked up the scattered bananas of his Hoard, and walked back to his tree house, along with Squawks. The ape put the Banana Hoard back in the cave it belonged in, and was going to walk into his home when he saw a female Kong standing in front of him. She had shoulder length blond hair, a pink bikini with her name, and pink mini shorts. She happened to be DK's girlfriend. "Long time no see DK."

"Candy Kong, uh, I wasn't expecting you here." DK said sheepishly, putting his hand behind his back it was then that Candy Kong saw the letter.

"What is that?" Candy Kong asked. She pointed to the letter DK was holding. The Kong, seeing her, then showed her the letter, allowing her to read. Afterwards, Cranky Kong congratulated DK. "Well, if you are good enough to defeat K. Rool all those times, I'm sure you will do great in that tournament."

"I know, but these might be our last few days together." DK stated. Candy and Squawks then grew solemn, realizing that DK would be gone in a few days. They realized that DK needed to train for the tournament, so they helped him train day and night for four days. On the last day, DK rested in his tree house, and thought about the tournament.

"I wonder who else could be at that tournament." The ape pondered. "It could be Mario, since he's bested me some times. What about that fiend Bowser? Yoshi? And Diddy, I haven't seen him in a while, could he have been accepted too?

The Kong drifted to sleep before he could finish pondering. After a good night's sleep, he woke up once again, realizing that this was the day he had to leave. Squawks was already at his window before he could move. "Take care DK."

DK nodded his head, and gave a V sign to Squawks, signalling him good bye. DK climbed out his tree house, and walked for some time when he came across Candy, who also shared her good bye's by hugging the Kong. "I will miss you!"

"I will miss you too." DK replied as he finished hugging his girlfriend. The ape put her down, and continued his journey, but not before she handed him a banana. "This is a little something for you to enjoy while you're over there."

The ape thanked his girlfriend and continued his walk. He soon came across Cranky's Cabin, and ventured inside, where he saw Cranky Kong asleep, much to his dismay. The ape snapped his fingers, causing Cranky to wake up. "W-Wha- DK, what's going on?"

"I came to say good bye Cranky." DK spoke. "This will be my last day."

Cranky then grew confused. "Why, what happened?"

DK immediately handed the old ape the letter. Cranky read through it, and afterwards, gave it back to DK. "Don't you think this tournament sounds a little dangerous?"

DK shook his head, confusing Cranky. "Well, I wiped the floor with K. Rool so many times, so I probably can handle this thing!"

"Well, stay safe." Cranky advised, wishing DK good bye. The Kong soon left the cabin, and walked towards the scene where the K. Rool robot's body was.

"The letter says if I activate this thing, then it would transport me to that place." DK remembered. "Well, it doesn't hurt to try."

DK played with the robot's torso, trying to get it to work. After some failed attempts, the Kong eventually got it right, and waited for it to work. "Well, here goes nothing."

The robotic torso then activated, covering DK in a blue beam. It then transported DK, causing the Kong to vanish in a flash, and arrive at the tournament, where he would be ready to kick some tail.

How will DK cope with his first day at the tournament? What is Master Hand's intention of collecting him and thirty four other smashers? Find out in Chapter Two!
