Chapter 6: Runaway King
As the Jiggy disappeared into Mumbo, he started to grow. Soon he, to the relief of Mumbo, was back to his regular size. "Mumbo never want to do that again," he said. He looked around and carrots started popping up everywhere.
"Ha ha ha! You did it! You did it!" the ape cried.
"Ape is welcome," Mumbo answered.
"I've got to reward you!"
Mumbo looked at him wide-eyed. "Does ape have another Jiggy?"
"Um, what's a Jiggy?"
"Uh, it's gold, and-"
"Gold! Yeah, I know where you can get gold! My brother happens to be the king of the monkeys! He's got all kinds of trinkets up there!"
"Um, up there?"
"Yeah! There's a village of monkeys in the treetops of Wild Woods. They don't normally let outsiders up, but if you say, 'DK is stupid compared to the king of the apes' they'll let you in."
"DK is stupid compared to the king of the apes?"
As they were talking, a monkey swung by. "Did somebody say the password?" he asked. He looked at the ape. "Was it you, Prince Randolph?"
"Nope!" the ape replied.
"Ape is a prince!?" Mumbo asked.
"Well, I am the king's brother you know."
"But, why is ape a farmer?"
"Because the author of this story says so."
"Oh.
"So bone boy," the monkey said, "Why do you want to go to Treetop Village?"
"Mumbo need-"
"He needs gold from the king's treasury," the ape interrupted.
"What? Surely you don't expect me to-"
"Yes I do as a matter of fact. This shaman here saved my crops and by golly he deserves a reward for it!"
"Well, I guess I'll take him up there, but I don't know what the king will do when he sees some, some, shaman stroll in and rob him because he saved some stupid carrots!"
With that said, he grabbed Mumbo and shimmied up a nearby tree. As soon as they got past the leaves, Mumbo saw an entire different area. It was a village filled with monkeys. They seemed to live in huts on the trees. There were no bridges from tree to tree however, so the monkeys apparently jumped it.
The monkey looked at him. "Follow me," he said. Then he leaped a good 30 feet to another tree. Mumbo grabbed a nearby vine and leaped. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Mumbo screamed as he swung over to where the monkey was. He let go and landed on his stomach. "Nice one," said the monkey, "Now come on! His majesty's tree is only five trees away!" Mumbo looked up. "FIVE?"
So after five more swings, which resulted in Mumbo almost losing his lunch, he made it. He saw a huge castle made of bamboo. The monkey signaled for Mumbo to follow him. But before he did, he saw something. A Jinjo! Mumbo trotted over to the Jinjo and touched it. Creating the usual temporary time rip. "Thank you for saving me! The Jinjo exclaimed. "Jinjo is welcome. Does Jinjo have any moves for Mumbo?" Mumbo asked. The Jinjo grinned and nodded.
"Well, it's more of an upgrade than a new spell. In case you haven't noticed, your zapstick attack is extremely slow. I now slugs who can dodge it!"
"Ok, ok. Just give upgrade to Mumbo." said Mumbo gruffly.
"Well, this will speed things up. Your zapstick attack will be so fast your enemies won't know what hit them."
"Ok. Give move to Mumbo."
"Ok. Now all you have to do to use it is charge up your zapstick and let it loose!"
Then the Jinjo started spinning around him screaming, "Jinjo!" Mumbo's stick started vibrating, his brain was gaining knowledge on how to perform the spell, and he was getting his health and magic points back. "Yippee!" shouted Mumbo. He raised his stick in triumph. His stick was glowing from the upgrade.
But then, time resumed and the monkey was looking at him strangely. "Coming!" Mumbo said. After passing through many hallways, he reached the throne room, which, unfortunately, had an empty throne.
The monkey looked terrified.
"Where is His Majesty?" he screamed. Another monkey approached.
"He's gone missing sir," he reported.
"Missing!? What kind of guards are you!"
"It's not our fault, he jumped out of the window over there," the monkey pointed to a broken window."
"Why would he want to do that?"
"Well sir, he was counting his money in the treasury as usual when he seemed to realize something. His prized ruby was missing. So, he just jumped out the window."
"Complete insolence!" He looked at Mumbo. "His Majesty has a way with, uh, money."
"Mumbo noticed," Mumbo replied.
"Yeah, uh, could you help us out here?"
"Sure. Mumbo find King."
"Thanks! You're a lifesaver!"
"Does monkey have any idea where King might be?"
"Before he left, he said something like, 'I'll get that darn rabbit!'"
Mumbo froze. This was not looking good.
"What? Did I say something wrong?"
"Mumbo had bad experience with rabbits."
"Well, he will probably be down in the rabbit arena. In case you didn't know, the leader of the rabbits visited yesterday. The Rabbit King is very greedy. I'll bet he stole the ruby and the King is down there trying to get it back.."
Mumbo sighed. "Ok, I'll get the King." So he left the throne room. He found a vine and outside and shimmied down. When he landed he found himself right over the rabbit hole. So he entered to find the rabbit drinking some carrot juice.
The rabbit looked at him. "What are you doing here?! You've already cheated me out of my jigsaw puzzle! I thought I told you I never wanted to see you again!" Mumbo just ignored him and entered the arena. What he saw made him gasp in shock and horror.
Where the racetrack used to be there was now a big circle. The king of the monkeys and the Rabbit King were in the circle fighting. Unfortunately, the guards never told Mumbo that the Rabbit King was three times Mumbo's size. The rabbit was much bigger than the ape and the king of the monkeys was losing terribly.
Mumbo quickly made up his mind. He ran towards the circle. It took him a while to get there because there was a large crowd watching and he had to push his way through. When he finally entered the circle, he wished he had walked away.
The Rabbit King looked even bigger up close. It's two teeth that stuck out of his mouth looked more like fangs. His ears were went down to his waist. He was covered with muscle from head to toe, and he had a huge red ruby about the size of Mumbo in his hand. And the King of the monkeys was out cold.
The Rabbit King looked at him. "ARE YOU LOST SKULL BOY?" he taunted in a very loud, very stupid sounding voice. Mumbo no longer felt brave. "Um, ah. Could King um, maybe give the ruby back? Please?" Mumbo asked timidly. Somehow that didn't make the King drop on his knees and beg for forgiveness.
Instead, he burst out laughing. "WAHAHAHAHA! YOU WANT THIS? THEN TAKE IT FROM ME!!!" With that said, he leaped toward Mumbo with surprising speed. Mumbo jumped out of the way just in time to narrowly avoid becoming a pancake. Mumbo decided to try his zapstick.
Mumbo aimed and fired. Unfortunately, the King saw it coming and dodged it easily. The spell kept going and hit some rabbit who was watching outside the circle. The rabbit passed out. "WAHAHAHA! IS THAT THE BEST YOU CAN DO? THAT MOVE WAS GOING LIKE TWO MILES AN HOUR!" Then the King charged toward Mumbo again, fists flying. Mumbo shot his zapstick again. Which, as Mumbo had planned, made him stop so he could dodge the attack.
But while the rabbit was dodging the move, Mumbo was charging up his zapstick. The King didn't see this however, and just continued to charge toward Mumbo. In about two seconds he would flatten Mumbo. But before he could get there...
"YOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHH!!"
Shouted the King. He was clutching his face in agony. Mumbo had nailed him! Mumbo was about to nail him again, but the King recovered quickly. He jumped up and started flapping wildly with those blanket-like ears of his. He was flying!
Mumbo's jaw dropped. He just stood there with his mouth agape in shock. Which was dumb because the King was diving towards him! With no chance to dodge, Mumbo wildly fired his zapstick. Unfortunately, this didn't work. Instead of dodging it like before, he just put the ruby in front of him. The spell hit the ruby and it bounced off, leaving Mumbo defenseless.
BAM!
The King slammed into Mumbo! This sent Mumbo flying into the nearest wall. Mumbo slid back down to the ground. His health was almost all the way down. One more hit like that and he was toast. The King was getting ready for a second pass. Thinking fast, Mumbo ran towards the crowd of onlookers. He dived in. Making it impossible for the King to hit him without hurting his people.
So with the safety of the crowd around him, He started to use Heal. He muttered the incantations, and a blue light began to emit from his zapstick. It surrounded Mumbo and his health was restored. Unfortunately, that drained Mumbo's magic meter by 50%. And he had already drained a little of his magic meter using his upgraded zapstick attack. He wouldn't be able to use Heal again in this battle.
The crowd started to run away from Mumbo, giving the King an easier shot. But Mumbo ran towards the crowd, firing his zapstick frantically. Sometimes he'd use a regular attack, sometimes he'd do an upgraded attack. But every time the King would block it with the ruby. Then Mumbo realized he would have to try a defferent approach. So he started to transform.
He spinned around a couple times, making the usual "transformation rings" around himself and raised his staff high over his head!
BAM!
Mumbo Rabbit looked up at the King. The rabbit dived again! But he was so slow! Mumbo ran towards the Rabbit King and leaped right over him! The King kept going and smashed his head into a wall. This dazed the king and made him fall to the ground.
Mumbo ran towards the King before he could get back up. Mumbo kicked the King in the face about five times. This knocked him out cold. Silence fell across the arena. Mumbo had defeated the King!
An angry uproar filled the stadium. But before any violence took place, the King of the monkeys approached Mumbo. He had revived during the battle. He grabbed his ruby and ran towards the exit. Mumbo followed suit.
When they where outside, the King shouted, "DK is stupid compared to the king of the apes!" A monkey quickly appeared. When he saw the king he said, "Oh King! Where have you been! We were so worr-" The King held up a hand. "Were in a bit of a hurry." He pointed to an army of rabbits charging towards them. "Oh! Yeah! Come on up!" Then the monkey shimmied up, followed closely by the King. Leaving Mumbo forgotten. He was still in his rabbit form and lacked the exposable thumbs to climb.
"Help!" Mumbo cried. A monkey quickly shimmied down and grabbed Mumbo and pulled him up into the treetops.
Back in the safety of the treetops, Mumbo transformed back into his original form. The monkey led them back to the castle, which was luckily only one tree away. After they were back in the throne room, The King sat down and acknowledged Mumbo's existence for the first time.
"Hello! My little bony friend." The King said warmly.
"Hello King." Mumbo replied.
"Might I know the name of my rescuer?"
"Huh? Oh! I am Mumbo Jumbo. A shaman."
"Mumbo Jumbo? Interesting name. Anyway, I believe I should introduce myself. I am King Roland, Lord of the Treetops."
"Um, hello King."
"Yes. Now, they say I am a very cheap King, but even I wouldn't send you away empty handed. Follow me."
The King got up and walked away. Mumbo followed. They finally got to a large vault. The King told Mumbo to look the other way while he did the combination. When he turned back around he saw a room filled with treasure! King Roland smiled and said, "Pick one."
Mumbo wandered around and instantly saw what he wanted. A Jiggy! It was right in the middle. Mumbo grabbed it and did a little dance. One more and he was rabbit free!
hey everybody! Celtic Boy here. How did you like the boss battles? Fans of my Sonic Adventure 3 said I was terrible at fighting scenes. I tried to change that this chapter. Was I successful? Thanks for reading!
