Chapter 2: Donkey Kong Pt. 2 - Mario the Hero

Mario chased Donkey Kong through the Brooklyn streets.
DK frantically looked around for a hiding place. Finally,
he made his decision and ran into a construction site
with Pauline hanging from his giant arm.

Mario realized, "That's-a the office building I'm-a
working on!" and ran after DK to the skeleton of
the 100-meter building.

Donkey climbed 25 meters up the building and smashed
the ground. The girders snapped and the I-bars bent
over. Mario began the slow climb up. Donkey roared,
"Go away ugly man! Me make you dead!" and tossed
barrels at the carpenter.

Mario replied, "Bring-a it on, you-a damn, dirty
ape!" as he leaped over the barrels and continued
climbing. Mario soon confronted Donkey Kong. The ape
roared and climbed further up with Pauline.

DK climbed up 50 feet and slammed the ground.
The girders snapped again as Mario entered. This
area was meant to be a manufacturing room,
explaining the inactive conveyor belts. Mario ran across
the conveyor belts.

Donkey screamed, "Stupid ugly man! Donkey Kong great
angry. Donkey squish something!" He punched a lever.
The conveyor belts turned on and began carrying Mario
towards the end of the building.

Mario quickly ran against the belt and grabbed a girder.
He climbed up to Donkey Kong's perch. Mario yelled, "Let
her go, idiot!"

Donkey suckerpunched Mario and climbed up another 25 meters
with Pauline in his clutches. Mario recovered and ran after the
ape.

The next few flights were a giant elevator shaft. Mario quickly leapt
from elevator to elevator until he reached the other side and
climbed up to meet Donkey Kong again. The ape threw trampolines at Mario.
The pudgy pedestrian dodged the trampolines and punched DK square
in the stomach. It had no effect, and the gorilla began yelling.

Pauline warned Mario, "You're only making him angrier!" just before
Donkey grabbed Pauline and climbed to the top of the building. 100
meters up.

If Mario were up there at work with his construction worker friends (whom
Mario, for some reason nicknamed Toads) whose heads looked a little bit like
mushrooms, he would say something about being able to see his house from here.
Now, Mario's only goal was to reach the top and rescue Pauline.

On the roof, Donkey Kong formed a group of fireballs to take care of Mario.
"Die, ugly man! Die!" DK muttered under his breath alongside a couple of curses
in his native language.

Pauline pleaded, "Please stop this, Donkey Kong. He's only trying to help!"

DK grabbed Pauline's arm and barked, "UGLY MAN IS EVIL!!! UGLY MAN
MUST DIE!!!! YOU NO KNOW HOW DANGEROUS UGLY MANS IS!!!!" then
flung her across the roof.

Mario gasped, "Pauline!" as he saw Donkey's toss. "That's it, you [censored]!!!
I'll kill you!" Mario then remembered something. The section of the roof DK
was standing on was unstable. The only thing holding it up were a group of plugs
along the top three floors.

Mario ran across the area, grabbing plugs and dodging fireballs along the way.
Soon, there was only one plug left. Problem was, it was right by DK's feet.
Mario dashed toward it. DK yelled, "Ugly Man challenge Great Donkey Kong?
Then Ugly Man choose death." Donkey punched Mario back and sicked(sp?) two
fireballs on him. Mario was ambushed. Then he noticed the mallet lying by his
feet. Mario picked it up and crushed the two fireballs with it.

Mario then pulled the plug and yelled, "Sayonora, ugly!" as the ground beneath Donkey
Kong disintigrated and the ape fell through several floors.

Mario walked up to Pauline and said, "That's over with. Let's-a get out of here before-a
that monkey comes-a back." Pauline simply wealked up to Mario and gave him a peck on the
cheek. Mario was woozy for a few seconds, but regained his senses as he heard a loud
rumbling noise.

Pauline shreiked, "The building's collapsing!"

Mario grabbed Pauline and yelled, "Let's-a get outta here!" as he leaped off the roof. He landed
on the crane and slid down it. Mario commented, "Looks like that 'Nintendo of America Company'
will have to find another place to bulid their office. Oh well. They'll never be successful."
Mario would later regret saying this.

***

Some time later, Mario sat by the ruins of the construction site with Donkey Kong in a
cage. Pauline walked up to Mario and asked, "Mario, what are you going to do with Donkey
Kong?"

Mario replied, "I'm taking him to the forest. I'll make him pay for what he did to you."

Pauline pleaded, "He didn't mean it, Mario. He's just misunderstood."

Mario loaded the cage into his pickup truck and addressed Pauline, "No. He's just a stupid
monkey who needs to be punished!" Mario climbed into the front seat and drove off.
