Ch 5. How High Can You Get?
Martial awoke forty-five seconds later.
"Alright, this douche is going down hard!" He sat up and stared at the mechanical gorilla as he gleefully struts about on a temporary platform supported by four support pegs. The ape prances back and forth, beating his chest and taking time to intimidate his young hostage. Martial grits his teeth and approaches the lowest I-beam.
"No! Stay back! HELP!! SOMEBODY HELP ME!!" the girl screams as Mecha DK cruelly leers at her and places his hand on her cheek.
"HEY MONKEY SH*T!! LET HER BE!!" Martial yells as he climbs to the lowest edge of the slightly tilted steel beam. Mecha DK growls at his opponent. He bolts to the furthest end of the platform. He grins viciously and lifts a steel oil drum over his head. Then he lets it fly.
Martial runs to the end of the beam. He scurries up a ladder and continues on. Then.........
"WHAUGH!!" He ducks as a steel drum barely misses his head. He turns to watch as the barrel rolls off the edge and beneath the I-beam catwalk.
"Whew.....too close." he sighed. Martial turns to continue, only to have another steel drum pummel him in the chest. Mecha DK leaps up and down as he watches the raccoon fall to the ground below.
"No! Oh God, no!" the fox groans as her rescuer falls to the floor. Her attention is soon diverted as Mecha DK advances on her again, confident that raccoon is defeated. Horrified, she lets out a pitiful cry.
"Big Mistake hardware!" came a voice from below. DK looks down to see Martial at a control box of some sort. The raccoon pulls a lever. Suddenly, a crane comes to life, slowly raising it's hook to the edge of the I-beam. He runs to the edge, dodging a bombardment of barrels. Reaching the end, he hurls himself to the large hook of the crane. The force of him grabbing on causes the line to sway. DK watches in awe as Martial swings up and grabs one of the support pegs. The raccoon discards the peg by throwing it behind his back.
One down, three to go.
Martial returns to the first beam. He starts up again and climbs partway up the ladder, stopping to allow an oil drum to roll past. He continues up and jumps over a rolling barrel. He climbs up the second ladder, stepping up to the crane controls. DK tries to smash him with a barrel, but he immediately darts to the end of the beam and leaps once again to the crane. DK watches in astonishment as he misses hitting the raccoon again. The fox watches with increasing interest as the ape vainly tries to stop the 'coon, but as before, Martial pries the peg from its place and returns to the ground floor.
Two down, two to go.
DK is determined to stop Martial. He watches closely plans his attacks. But still, Martial dodges,leaping over the barrels and sitting on the ladder for them to pass. Before long, he is once again at the controls of the crane. He bolts to the end of the beam, but before hitting it, skids to a halt. DK has blocked his path with a barrage of oil drums. He quickly tries to figure out a way through. Finally, he takes a chance. As an oil drum falls past, he runs over top of it and takes flight. He grabs onto the crane. He once again grabs the peg and victoriously descends to the ground.
Three down, one to go.
Mecha Donkey Kong is now in a blind rage. He growls and hurls a rapid-fire stream of oil drums downward on top of Martial. With as much speed and agility he could summon, Martial leaps back and forth, frantically dodging the onslaught of barrels, jumping and diving trying to avoid being hit. He breathes heavily as he ascends the ladder to the final I-beam. Mecha DK runs about dropping barrels at an alarming rate trying to hit Martial. Finally, the raccoon sees his opening and throws the switch on the control box and makes a mad dash to the edge, narrowly missing hits from above as the robotic ape drops barrels from the platform above. In a desperate act, Martial springs blindly off the I-beam, hoping that by some miracle, the crane is in a good position. He reaches his hand out in front of him and grabs the cold steel hook. (OOC: That's what I'm talkin' about) He smiles victoriously as he yanks the final pin from the platform. It gives way, sending DK to the floor. With a loud CLUNK, he headplants. In an instant, his systems are knocked offline.
