[Author's Note: I consider the Mushroom Kingdom, DK Island, and Yoshi Island in the same world due to the fact that they meet so often. I based this chapter half on the DK games and half on the DK cartoon. Also, all monkey chatter has been translated into English for your reading pleasure. And now…]
Chapter 3: DK and the Master Hand
K. Rool was furious. "YOU FAILED TO CAPTURE THE CRYSTAL COCONUT AGAIN!!!!"
"Y-y-yes sir." stammered Klump as he coward before his master. "B-b-but it w-wasn't my fault! Donkey Kong and Diddy…"
"SILENCE, YOU FOOL!!!" boomed K. Rool as he gritted his teeth. "Of course Donkey Kong and Diddy are going to try to stop you! Otherwise, we could just take the crystal coconut, you moron. Once again your incompetence has ruined my brilliant plan!" K. Rool sighed very deeply. "However, in expectance of your defeat, I have come up with a new scheme. KRUSHA!!!"
Out of one of the corridors steped a large blue alligator with bulging biceps. "Yah, boss!" Krusha answers in a thick, almost swedish accent. "Vat do ya need?"
"You and Klump will need to sneak into the Ape's compound at night! While there, you will be required to take something very valuable from them." said K. Rool.
"B-but boss, you know that the Kong's won't leave the crystal coconut out at night! They hide it somewhere in that huge hut of theirs. It w-would take days to find!" said Klump, trying not as to offend K. Rool.
"I know that, you worthless idiot! But I didn't say we're going to steal the crystal coconut…" snapped K. Rool.
Klump and Krusha looked at each other inquisitively.
********************************************************
The next morning Donkey Kong woke up and stretched. He yawned sleepily, "Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh." Just then Dixie Kong rushed into his room.
"Hey, Dixie, you have a good night's sleep?" asked DK as he sat up on the bed.
"Oh Donkey! I woke up this morning and Candy was gone!! All I found was this note on her bed!" sobbed Dixie, obviously very distraught.
Shocked, DK grabbed the note from Dixie's hand. He read it quickly as Dixie cried softly. Dear Banana Breath, if you ever want to see your girlfriend alive again, bring the crystal coconut to the old Kremling Factory near the lake. Come alone, if you know what is good for you… and your sweetheart. Your Nemesis, K. Rool.
DK crumbled the letter in the palm of his hand. "That dirty, no good, son of a lizard!" He walked over to the bed of his sidekick. "Diddy! Diddy, wake up!" yelled DK as he shook his companion. "DIDDY!"
"Wh-what!?!" said Diddy as he came to. "K. Rool has taken Candy! I need your help!" told DK.
Immediately, Diddy jumped out of bed. "Let's get going then!" he said and they left the room.
********************************************************
"Cranky! We need the crystal coconut!" said DK as he walked into the hut.
"What for?!?" asked Cranky suspisiously.
"K. Rool has monkeynapped Candy and is gonna hurt her unless we give 'em it!" said DK quickly.
"OH NO! You're not giving them this coconut!" said Cranky, clutching the coconut to his chest.
"Relax, Cranky! I'm just gonna use it as bait!" replied DK.
But Cranky still protested. "No! This coconut is extremely magical! You can't just use it as bait! Why if K. Rool got his hands on it…"
DK quickly grabbed the coconut and pulled it away from Cranky. He barely wrenched it out of Cranky hands. "Sorry Cranky, but I really need it. Don't worry, I'll get it back in one piece." said DK as he and Diddy ran off toward the lake.
********************************************************
As he and Diddy made there way down to the lake, DK thought about K. Rool. I've had it with him. First he takes my banana stash. Then my best friend and the crystal coconut. And now, he's got Candy! I can't take it anymore! It's time to put and end to his tyranny once and for all! He gone too far this t… "Donkey! Be careful with that!" cried Diddy.
DK looked down to see himself crushing the crystal coconut with his hands. "Sorry! I got a bit worked up over the current situation!"
Diddy decided to try and get DK's mind off of Candy. "What's the plan?" he asked.
"Well, while I go in with the coconut, you sneak around the back. Then when I say 'He're the crystal coconut,' you jump in and save Cand… What in a chimp's name is that!!!" yelled DK as he came to a screeching halt.
Diddy looked over. What he saw looked impossible. There was a hole of some hanging in mid air in the middle of the path in front of them. "I-I don't know. It looks like some kind of hole in the universe."
Suddenly an outline appeared in the hole. "I think s-something is c-c-coming thr-rough." said Diddy, obviously shaken.
"I hope it's friendly!" said DK, taking a defensive decision.
The outline became a figure. The figure stepped out of the hole. It was a giant glove.
"Wh-Who are you?" asked Diddy.
The glove spoke in a loud and bold voice. "I am the Master Hand. I come looking for the one called Donkey Kong."
Diddy and DK looked at each other. After a couple of seconds, DK swallowed hard spoke up. "I am Donkey Kong. How do you know my name?"
"That is not important now. Please come with me." said the Master Hand, with little to no emotion in his voice.
"Why?" asked DK. He doesn't exactly sound friendly. thought DK to himself. What if he works for K. Rool?
"I repeat, that is unimportant now. NOW, COME WITH ME!" said the Master Hand forcefully.
"What if I don't want to!?!?!" said DK, getting angry.
"THAT WAS NOT A REQUEST!!!!" bellowed the Master Hand. He grabbed DK with his thumb and pinky. DK tried to resist but the Master Hand was too strong. All he managed to do was throw Diddy the crystal coconut.
"Diddy, take this to the factory and save Candy!" yelled DK. "I'll get back somehow and help you out later.
The Master Hand brought him to the black hole. "DONKEY!!!" screamed Diddy as he ran after him. The Master Hand stepped into the black still holding DK. After a second or two it started to close behind them. "NNOOO!!" yelled Diddy, as he tried to run through, but he fell before he reached it. He stretched toward the opening with his hand to see if he could grab it but it closed up. DK and the Master Hand were gone. He was completely alone.
