Chapter four: Dingodile's Attempt
Dingodile ran through the jungle, batting away branches like they weren't even there. The rain fell heavily on his head, but nothing else mattered to him. Coco was dead and he was determined to avenge her, even if it meant sacrificing himself to destroy Cortex. In one hand, he clenched the handle of his flame-thrower in anger so tightly that he felt his knuckles turning white.
The furious creature tore through the jungle for a good twenty minutes without getting tired. The adrenaline fueled by his anger seemed to be giving him more energy. He knew exactly where to go, as he had always been in Cortex's castle.
A good while later, Dingodile had finally spotted Cortex's castle sitting on the top of a cliff. He smirked evilly as he charged forward once more, running up the slope of the cliff that led to the castle doors.
Dingodile quickly found himself standing at the doors. They were obviously locked, so he decided to break in using force. Dingodile stepped back a few meters and aimed his flame-thrower at the doors. He pulled the trigger, firing a huge fireball at the doors, breaking them down like they were nothing. Smiling slyly to himself, Dingodile marched into the castle.
Several hallways instantly greeted Dingodile. He knew which way would lead him to Cortex, but he wanted to make sure that his minions weren't alerted when they heard Cortex screaming. He walked down the far left hallway, flame-thrower ready for anything.
Dingodile eventually came across his target: The door that led to the camera station. Finding out where in the castle everyone was would cut his time greatly. However, he saw his rival, Rilla Roo, marching back and forth across the door as if to guard it. He saw a long, large, open entrance to another hall, which gave him an idea. Dingodile smirked. This would be a piece of cake.
Silently, Dingodile snuck around Rilla Roo and jumped behind the wall on the other side of the entrance. He dared to look around the corner and whistled.
Rilla Roo heard the whistle, turned around, and saw nothing there. Curiosity getting the better of the extremely stupid underling of Cortex, Rilla Roo walked towards the entrance, where he had heard the whistling.
The monkey walked in front of the entrance, and at the same time, Dingodile did as well. When Rilla Roo tried to walk over the entrance to go around the corner, he walked straight into Dingodile, who was doing to same thing. Rilla Roo staggered back, staring at Dingodile with wide eyes. Dingodile was doing the exact same thing as he was. Rilla Roo, as stupid as he was, thought that it was a mirror, and decided to test it out. He held his right hand up, at the same time Dingodile held up his left.
Rilla Roo quickly stuck out his tongue, but Dingodile did the same thing. Rilla Roo jumped back and pouted, as Dingodile did the same thing. Both stood in silence for a few seconds before they both broke out into a tap- dancing fit. Both stopped suddenly at the same time.
Rilla Roo came up with an idea that would fool his copy if it wasn't really a mirror. He darted away from the entrance as Dingodile did the same. Rilla Roo went into the room he was guarding and came out with a black derby hat. Holding it behind his back, Rilla Roo confidently walked in front of the entrance again, as Dingodile did the same. They turned to face each other and stood in silence before the each pulled a hat from behind their backs and placed on their own head. The only difference was that Rilla Roo's was a black derby and Dingodile's was a straw hat. Rilla Roo stared in silence, wondering what this meant.
Both Rilla Roo and Dingodile pressed their faces against each other, staring straight into each other's eyes. Rilla Roo quickly raised his eyebrows, but Dingodile did the same thing. They continued doing this for a few seconds until Dingodile beat Rilla Roo over the head with his flame- thrower, rendering him unconscious.
Dingodile quickly rushed from the unconscious figure and ran into the room the monkey was guarding.
Inside the room, monitors were set up along a terminal, showing all of the security cameras in the castle. Dingodile walked over to the screens and looked at them, trying to find the rest of Cortex's minions. Suddenly, he spotted them. Pinstripe, Koala Kong and the Komodo Brothers were all together, talking in one of the hallways. Dingodile recognized the hallway from the accessories hanging on the wall, turned around and ran out of the room.
Dingodile charged headfirst down the many corridors of the castle. He had a sinking feeling that he wouldn't survive this attempt, but he'd figured it would be worth it to avenge Coco. Dingodile ran through the hallways, clenching the handle of his flame-thrower, preparing to pull the trigger.
Several minutes passed. Dingodile knew that he was approaching the hallway where he hoped the minions still were, and was preparing to dish out every attack he knew, mainly on the Komodo Brothers, as he remembered that he heard the sound of steel hitting flesh before Coco cried out in pain.
Dingodile stopped when he came upon the final corner. He silently looked around the corner, and saw the four minions talking to each other. Dingodile smirked at his luck. They hadn't gone anywhere. Dingodile quickly pulled his head back and leaned against the wall.
He breathed a few times as he readied his flame-thrower. "Well, double D, it's time." He whispered to himself. "Hopefully, you'll get through this."
After breathing a few more times, Dingodile jumped from the corner and charged at the minions, shouting psychotically. All four of them turned to see a severely ticked-off Dingodile charging right at them.
"DIE, MURDERERS!" Dingodile shouted as he pulled the trigger on his flame- thrower, quickly firing a ball of fire at Koala Kong, igniting his furry arm on fire.
As Koala Kong started shaking his arm to put out the fire, the Komodo Brothers and Pinstripe readied themselves for the oncoming mutant, although still very surprised that Dingodile was alive.
The Komodo Brothers were the first to react, each swinging their respective swords down in perfect synchronization. Luckily, Dingodile held up his flame-thrower, blocking each of the attacks at the same time. Dingodile quickly dropped to the ground, sticking his feet out. Komodo Moe was knocked off his feet, and while the rotund lizard was still in midair, Dingodile jumped and kicked himself off of the airborne Moe's back, launching himself at the younger brother. Dingodile flew overtop of Joe before bringing both feet down to strike Komodo Joe in the back, sending him to the floor.
Dingodile turned from the fallen lizards to Pinstripe, who was getting ready to fire his machine gun. Dingodile proved smarter, however, as he aimed his flame-thrower at the floor, firing a wave of fire at Pinstripe, just as the gangster started firing his gun. The bullets struck the flame wave, but didn't make it any further. Dingodile ran close behind the wave, running closer to Pinstripe. The wave vanished from sight just as it reached Pinstripe, providing a route for Dingodile's fist. The was the first time he noticed that Pinstripe was sporting a black eye, probably from the fight from Coco before she was killed. Just the thought of that made Dingodile want to hit the villain even more. Dingodile struck Pinstripe in the face, on the opposite side that the black eye was. Pinstripe fell to the floor, and was knocked out after Dingodile slammed his foot into his back.
Again, Dingodile turned around. The Komodo Brothers were starting to recover from the beating Dingodile had given them. Dingodile bravely turned around and charged at them. Again swinging his flame-thrower like a club, Dingodile struck Moe in the face before quickly turning around, swinging his flame-thrower like a golf club, striking Joe in the stomach, lifting his several inches off the ground. As Komodo Joe was recovering, Dingodile grabbed the evil lizard by the neck, turned around and threw Joe over his shoulder, making the thin lizard strike his older brother, knocking them both out.
Breathing heavily, Dingodile turned around, seeing an enraged Koala Kong charging at him, shoulder first. Like before, Dingodile didn't have time to block it and took the blow. Dingodile was sent flying back, a concrete wall stopping him. As Dingodile fell to the floor, he left a fairly big hole in the wall. As little pieces of access concrete tapped against his head, Dingodile fell unconscious.
