Chapter 5

Donkey Kong Distrust

Sonic was sleeping in the back of the boat. He had run 312 miles, and deserved a well rest. Lapras was now pushing the boat, and Link, Mario, and Ash sat in the boat bored.

"Man, we've been out here for hours. When are we gonna get there?" Ash asked.

"I told you already, I don't know. It could be an hour from now or a day from now...oh, wait, just a few minutes." Link's excellent vision had caught sight of an D.K. Island as he was speaking, and after ten minutes, everyone could clearly see the island.

"Hey, Mario, why does the island happen to look just like D.K.'s face?" Link asked.

"I don't know. I've wondered that too, but I never thought about it too much."

"Hey Sonic, wake up!" Ash said.

"Huh? Oh, we're here? Yawn! Ah, that was a nice nap."

As they stepped off the boat and onto the island, they could hear music coming from the center.

"Hey, what's that?" Ash asked.

"The Kongs. They must be playing music." Mario said.

"It's kinda catchy."

"Whatever." Mario said. They walked into the cave that led to the center of the island, and there they saw a tree house. Inside, they could see the Kongs dancing and playing instruments. As they got closer, they stopped playing as they caught notice of Mario and the others. That's when D.K., Diddy, Cranky and Lanky came out of the tree house.

"Hey, Mario, what are you doing here? Did I ever say you're welcome here? And just what are you people doing here?"

"Look, it's not like I wanted to come here." Mario said.

"Then get out of here! I might not be the damsel-napping guy I was before, and you not my enemy, but that doesn't mean I need to be buddy-buddy with you!"

"We're here for the controller." Link said, trying to stop the pointless arguing. D.K. immediately stopped and looked seriously into Link's eyes.

"What do you want with that?" D.K. asked slowly.

"Nintendo has been invaded by a race called the Zox from an alternate dimension. They've already been attacking several of our nations, and they've conquered dimensions. They're too powerful for us to fight on our own, so we need the power of the Nintendo 64."

"You don't say? Ha, ha ha, hahahaha! Man, that has got to be the funniest thing I've heard all day! Being invaded from another dimension, yeah right."

"We're serious! Your island could be next! If you don't tell us where the key is, this planet is doomed!"

"Hey, D.K., I think Link is telling the truth." Diddy said.

"What? You're believing this stuff? Come on!" Cranky then hit D.K. over the head with his cane.

"You dope! This is Mario and Link we're talking about! When's the last time you heard them lie! What kind of idiot are you?"

"These guys are related?" Ash asked in a whisper.

"Yeah, some family." Sonic whispered back.

"Fine! Even if it is true, I still ain't telling ya where the key is! This ain't my business, so why don't you go on your way?"

"And you call yourself a hero? People are in danger! Besides, it will become your business when they attack your island." Link said.

"You wanna know what, green boy? I'm all for kicking bad guy, but I'm not going to do something just because Mario here wants me to." Cranky then smacks D.K. over the head again with his cane.

"What's your problem? Every time there's a kart race or melee tournament, you're always itching to beat him! When is this stupid rivalry of yours gonna end?" Just as he said that, a laser beam hit the ground near them, knocking them all back from the explosion. As they looked to see where it came from, they saw a CD hovering straight above them.

"Man, how come they always have to show up wherever we go?" Mario said.

"You mean that's one of them Zox?" The ship stopped firing lasers and began charging the main laser beam.

"Yes, and if we don't hurry, we're all dead! Ash, get out a flying Pokemon and let's go." Mario said.

"Wait, you mean you'd risk your life trying to save my home?"

"Of course. Just because we don't get along doesn't mean I shouldn't help out. How else did we become heroes?" Donkey Kong knew that Mario was right, but he hadn't thought of Mario actually risking his life for him.

"Charizard, I choose you!" Nothing came out of the Pokeball. "Huh? Charizard, come on out!" Still nothing came out.

"Is it broken?"

"I don't think so. The Pokemon are transferred to my Pokeball when the Pokemon is in its Pokeball at the lab. It could be that Oak has Charizard out to feed or something."

"What a fine time to do that. Do you have another flying Pokemon?" Mario asked.

"Not one that's big enough to carry someone."

"There might be another way." D.K. said.

"What is that?"

"There's a cannon barrel that could blast you all the way up there, but you'll be smashed flat hitting that thing."

"I'll go. Nayru's love can protect me. I can put a bomb in the generator room."

"But you'll never make it out in time! Take me, I can get you in and out in not time." Sonic said.

"Well, you are small, so I think you can fit within the protection nayru's love can."

"Small? Hey!"

Time was already running out, so they rushed to the barrel and slipped inside.

"Hold on tight, Sonic!" Link then cast the spell to place a blue shield around them. Link then gave the word, and D.K. blasted them off with a loud boom. Like a speeding blue cannon ball, they rushed towards the CD. Once they hit it, they crashed through the metal hull of the ship, and landed in the hallway.

There was less than a minute till the laser beam would fire, and no time could be wasted. Sonic ran while holding Link and took him to the generator room. Luckily, the generator room was unlocked this time; a person inspecting it must have forgot to lock it. Link took out a bomb and lit it, and Sonic then grabbed Link and took him out. They went back to the hole they came in from and jumped down.

Just as they went down, the ship exploded. Link used nayru's love again to protect them from the debris from the ship, as well as their fall into the ocean.

"Watch out, we're gonna land in the ocean!" Sonic said.

"That's my intent." They hit the water with a large splash, and Link's magic protected them from the impact. After they fell in the ocean, so did the ship, creating a tsunami-size splash.

Everyone ran to the shore to find Link and Sonic, but a few minutes had passed before anyone saw them.
