Hmmm… Not much reviews yet… Please make me happy with your reviews, okay? I may even consider deleting this story if it isn't popular enough.
Be warned: This chapter contains some sexual stuff, but nothing hardcore. Just those moments at the lake…
Chapter 3: Evil Shows Its FaceThe boys are hanging around in the cabin, waiting for their turn at the lake. Yoh is still lying on the bed like a dead man. "What's taking them so long? My back is itching!" complains Horohoro.
"Patience, my friend," Ryu tells him. "You know how girls tend to take their time cleaning themselves."
-
The girls are still enjoying their time at the lake. I forgot to tell you this: There is a waterfall that is pouring water into the lake, which empties through a river that leads to another larger lake in somewhere in the island. Sure, it's quite random to have a waterfall around here, but it is important for something that is to happen very soon.
Anna is sitting on a rock under the waterfall with her eyes closed. Pirika watches from near the bank and asks, "What's she doing?"
"She's purifying herself, I believe," answers Tamao. "She uses to do this back in Izumo, usually before she goes training for something."
They two watch Anna meditate under the water, but then they notice something wrong with the waterfall… It has two large eyes staring down at them! "EEEK!" They quickly dip into the water to cover their bodies.
"What's wrong?" Ellie asks them.
"There's someone looking at us!" says Tamao.
"There's a pair of eyes on the waterfall!" adds Pirika.
"How can that be possible?" asks Jun.
"We really saw it!" says the both of them. Ellie and Jun look at the waterfall again, but they see nothing, only Anna swimming back towards them.
"What's wrong?" she asks.
"Pirika and Tamao claim they saw a pair of eyes looking at them from the waterfall," Jun tells her.
"Uh huh…" Suddenly, a stream of water hits Anna in the back hard, making her fly forward onto the land with a thud. "Ow!"
They turn to the waterfall and see a large mouth on it, and then two large eyes follow! "I told you!" says Pirika. "I told you someone was watching us!"
-
Inside the cabin, the boys hear an ear-piercing scream. "What's that?" asks Yoh, shocked by the sudden screaming.
"That's Pirika's voice!" says Horo. "She must be in trouble!"
"And I hear my sister's scream too!" says Ren. The both of them and Pai-Long run out the cabin.
"Hey! They're going to peek on the girls!" says Ren. "Why shouldn't I follow them?" And then he follows.
-
"Pirika! Where are you!" Horo calls out loud as he runs through the leaves
"Brother!" screams the voice of his younger sister. As he nears the lake, Pirika pops out in front of him and grabs onto him tightly. "Brother! Help me!"
"What the! You're not wearing anything!"
Ren comes into the scene and upon seeing Pirika in her unclothed state; his face turns very red and quickly turns away.
The other girls, wrapped in towels, and Ellie run up to dry land fast to escape the monstrous waterfall. "Ren! Thanks goodness you're here!" says Jun. "There's a terrifying monster at the lake!"
"I'll handle it!" says Ren.
At the same time, Yoh comes into the scene. "What's happening here? Um… I didn't disturb your bath time, did I?"
"Yes you did, but I wouldn't care about that now," says Anna. "There's another pervert spying on us, and I would appreciate it if you teach it a lesson."
Yoh sees a stream of water coming towards Anna from behind, so he quickly pushes her to the ground. The water goes over them and hits Ryu, who just stepped out of some bushes. "WHOA!" And he rolls back into the bushes.
"What was that?" asks Yoh.
"Get off me!" Anna shouts at him.
"Sorry…"
Ren and Horohoro look at the waterfall monster. "What kind of monster is that?" asks Horo.
"I wanted to ask you this too," says Ren. "Have you ever seen a waterfall with eyes and a mouth?"
"Never…"
The waterfall opens its mouth and a large amount of water gushes out from it, shooting towards them. Ren and Horohoro quickly jump aside to avoid it, but Yoh didn't move and got pushed back by the powerful force of the water. "WAAAA!" He flies back and crashes into Anna, pushing her onto the ground.
"YOH! I SAID GET OFF ME!" she screams.
"Since it is water, I can freeze it or something!" says Horo. "Kororo into the snowboard!" He oversouls Kororo into his snowboard, hops onto it, and launches into the air in front of the waterfall.
The waterfall focuses its eyes on Horo and fires a stream of water, but the snowboard blows out cold air and moves Horo to the side a bit, and the water flies past him safely.
"Icy Wind!" shouts Horo. Cold air shoots out from the snowboard and blows into the waterfall, slowly turning it into ice until the entire thing is frozen solid.
"Now's my turn!" says Ren. "Giant Oversoul!" Bason transforms into a large robotic-looking warrior. He flies in front of the waterfall and delivers a powerful punch into the frozen wall of ice. When the fist impacts with it, the frozen waterfall shatters into thousands of ice particles and water starts flowing down again, but this time, the face is gone.
"We did it!" exclaims Horo as he slowly rides his snowboard onto the ground.
"That was no challenge," comments Ren.
Yoh gets up after being pushed back by the water and getting slapped by Anna. "Uh? Where's the enemy…?"
"We took care of it," says Ren. "It was too easy."
"That's good. I didn't feel like working out anyway."
"Why are you becoming so useless, Yoh?" Anna says to him rather disappointed. "I was expecting you to be the one punishing that monster instead. Looks like I should double your training…"
Yoh wanted to say no, but he knows the consequences for saying that, so he unwillingly says, "Yes, Anna…" As tears pour down his eyes like a waterfall.
"All right, I'm done bathing. You boys can use it if you want." Anna turns around to leave, but her towel got caught in a sharp branch and got tore off.
The boys gasped and their nose bled upon seeing the 'wonderful' sight. All that was heard next was Anna shouting, "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT!" And then followed by several loud slapping.
Manky watches from among bushes. "Incredible… Those kids are amazing! They defeated Squirt with no trouble! I must warn the boss fast!"
-
The next morning…
DK comes swinging out of his cabin via a vine. He grabs some bananas as he swings through the trees, and then he lands on the ground and eats his bananas. He shakes a coconut tree and several coconuts falls down, so he proceeds to crack them so he can take a drink out of it. After he is done eating, he pats his stomach and says to himself, "That was a hearty breakfast! I wonder how the kids are doing?" So he begins walking to the cabin.
When he got there, he sees Yoh doing morning exercises unwillingly outside the cabin and Ren is exercising according to his own will. "Good morning, kids!" says DK. "How's the sleep last night?"
"Yeah, pretty good," says Yoh, trying to smile back while working out.
"And what's with those hand marks on your face? And also Ren's?"
"Nothing worth knowing…"
"Never mind… Did you have your breakfast yet?"
"Not yet. And Anna won't let me have some until I'm done execising."
-
On the other side of the island, Manky is standing there with a cell phone in his hand.
"Forget what I said about coming at noon," says the voice in the cell phone. "We'll be there in about an hour. So get everything ready! Do what you are told fast!"
"I will, boss. Leave everything to me," replies Manky. He hangs up the phone and runs back to the jungle. He quickly returns into Cranky's cabin, apologizing for being late along the way, and enters the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
After a while, he comes back out with a tray of fruits, which he offers to Cranky. "Took you long enough, eh?" says Cranky.
"I had to make the ones for our visitors too," replies Manky.
"If I were you, then I would've ignored them and let them hunt their own food."
Manky puts the rest of the trays on a cart and leaves the cabin with it.
-
"I'm starving…" says Horo. "I can't do anything without having breakfast…"
"All you complain of all day is food!" Pirika says to him, and she begins lecturing him.
Manky comes into their cabin with his cart of foods. "Sorry for letting you wait!"
"Yeah! Food!" says Horo excitedly as he quickly grabs his portion, which is about the double of other people.
So everyone sat down to eat. Manky notices Pai-Long not eating anything and urges him to eat, but Pai-Long says he isn't hungry. "If he doesn't eat, then all won't go as planned!" Manky says in his own mind.
He quickly leaves the cabin and runs to the shore, and he sees a periscope drawing closer and closer to the island.
-
"Boy, I feel so sleepy after eating so much," says Horo, and he instantly plops onto the floor and sleeps.
"All you do is eat and sleep, brother! Can't you… Um… I feel so sleepy too," says Pirika, and she plops down next to her brother and sleeps.
"Me too, I want to sleep…" says Ryu with a yawn, and he, too, fell asleep.
"Why is everyone sleeping?" asks Lyserg, but then he falls asleep too. To put it short, everyone fell asleep one by one. The only ones awake are Pai-Long and their guardian spirits.
"Why is everyone sleeping?" asks Tokageroh.
"This is not natural sleep!" says Amidamaru. "It must be the food they ate! It's been drugged!"
"Can it be that Manky's doing?" wonders Bason. "Why would he do this to them?"
At this moment, several crocodiles step into the cabin. "Hey! Someone's not asleep!" says one of them. "That purple-skinned man! I remember him from that ship yesterday! What's he doing here!"
"It's you!" says Pai-Long.
"What are those crocodiles from yesterday doing here!" asks Amidamaru.
"This is coming clear to me! Manky must be their ally and he drugged our masters so these crocodiles can take advantage of it!"
Pai-Long charges at the Kremlings and kicks them down with a single blow, but then a large muscular Kremling shows up and is able to smash down Pai-Long using a large spiked club.
"Oh no! What can we do!" says Amidamaru. "Without our masters, we cannot do anything about these villains!"
Kororo jumps up and down on top of Horo, in hope of waking him up, but it's useless…
"What are we waiting for? Let's tie them up before they wake up!" says a Kremling.
"But what about those ghosts?" asks another one.
"They can't do anything to us! Spirits can't contact with physical things!" Kororo flies in front of that Kremling and blows cold air into his face, freezing him from head to toe.
The other Kremlings are shocked, and they all pounce at Kororo and pin her to the ground.
The other spirits can't do anything but watch. Maybe Morphine can, but she isn't strong enough to do anything.
-
Yoh slowly opens his eyes and looks around. "What happened? All I remember was falling asleep after eating breakfast." He tries to move, but notices that he is bind by ropes.
"You're not the only one…" Manta says to him. He and everyone else are tied up. All the other Kong families are also tied up, and the animal buddies are put inside cages. Even Pai-Long is bind with chains.
"What happened here!" asks Chocolove.
"The Kremlings! They are back!" replies DK. "They came in great numbers and unexpectedly that we have no time to fight back, so we are caught!"
"And I was just in the midst of fixing the ship!" says Funky.
Cranky shot a glare at Manky, who is on the Kremling's side. "Manky! How dare you! You have betrayed the trust I have in you!"
"Talk loud, old geezer!" jeers Manky. "I was never on your side! A dirty old ape like you isn't worth working for anyway! You even use hidden cameras to peek on the girls as they bathe!"
Tamao's face turns red upon hearing this. "What! He was spying on us all the time yesterday!"
K. Rool steps up in front of everyone and says, "Done with your little argument?"
"It's that fat crocodile from yesterday!" says Ren.
"Sure, it's me! It's a surprise that we meet again here! You should've mind your own business and stayed off this island! It's your bad luck!"
"You villain!"
"Manky told me that you kids defeated Squirt, right?"
"You mean that waterfall with a face?" asks Horohoro. "He's your henchmen?"
"Now I have some other important business here. I don't have time to chat with you." K. Rool walks to Cranky and asks him, "Now the reason I'm here is…"
"I don't care what reason you're here for! What you're doing is disgraceful and heartless!" Cranky shouts at him.
"Let me finish, can you? Now, I want you to tell me… The password to the Crystal Coconut."
TO BE CONTINUED…
I hope you like this chapter, as the plot is becoming clearer. If I made any mistakes, then let me know, okay? Please be nice too! Please review!
And I tell you the truth: Even I do not know what on earth Squirt from DKC3 is. I decided to made him an embodiment of a waterfall in this story.
