Donkey Kong Country: Down the Drain!

Chapter 3

As Tiny, Chunky and Candy hopped happily toward Cranky's lab/house, Cranky, Donkey and Diddy remained inside the drain, unaware that Tiny had indeed gone for help.

"Ok, boys," Cranky began. "We need a plan."

"A plan for what?" Diddy Kong questioned, putting his hands over his ears for no apparent reason.

"This is war, Diddy! This is no time to be stupid!" Cranky shouted crankily. "Now. To begin, we must find a way out of the mess of pipes we now stand in, and no, we can not go back up the way we came." He looked accusingly at Donkey Kong.

"Why are you looking at me accusingly?!" Donkey fell to his knees as tears began to well up in his eyes.

"Shuddup, you demented fish," Cranky commanded. Donkey stood up and saluted Cranky in the noblest fashion he could muster.

"Continue with your plan, oh very old and decrepit one," Donkey said, as smoke flew from Cranky's ears.

After Cranky had calmed down some, he looked at the two young monkeys before him. "Diddy, you search to the left, Donkey to the right, and I will search for an opening in the third passage, although I will have to find the third passage before I do any real searching. Oh yes, Donkey, Diddy. Keep your eyes open. I find it makes it substantially easier to see in dark places such as this. Actually, it helps in light places too... Anywho, GET GOING, YOU JELLYBEANS!!!"

So the Cranky watched as the Jellybeans took off in the directions they had been told to go in.

Tiny hurtled up the steps to the bathroom, Chunky and Candy at her heals. They all wore snorklers, even though there was no need for them. Upon reaching their destination, Tiny shoved her hand down the drain and searched frantically for any sign of the missing monkeys. Unfortunately, just at that moment, the drain decided to take a very large breath, and began to pull poor Tiny Kong down to join the Cranky and the Jellybeans! Tiny struggled and struggled, but try as she might, she could not release her arm from the deathly cold grip of the demonic drain. After a short skirmish, Tiny was pulled into the frightening black abyss, leaving her snorkler behind, because she had suddenly decided that it might get in the way.
