This is where the real adventure begins. We will be focusing our attention on the first team as they find and destroy the dark reactor of Congo Bongo in order to seal that place from Darkling. I hope you all enjoy this story and tell others about it. And be sure to review!

By the way, I have changed the team a little bit. You should probably see the team change by now back in Chapter 4.

WORLD NAME:

CONGO BONGO

Chapter 5: Arriving in Congo Bongo! K. Rool Has New Recruits!

It was a quiet and peaceful day in the jungles of Congo Bongo… A star is seen shooting through the sky and it crashes into the jungle, making birds fly into the sky and fright.

"Oof! That was a rough landing!" says Falco, rubbing his head because it got hit on the ground. "I can land a plane better than a computer-controlled plane."

"But this is a star," Yoshi reminds him.

"Same thing, whatever…"

"How can we find the dark reactor?" asks Peach. "This jungle must be huge! And that means bugs are on the loose everywhere!"

Pichu whispers into Young Link's ear. "Girl's greatest fears seems to be only bugs…"

"Let's go to my dad's house! He can offer some advice!" suggested DK. "Good idea," agrees Marth. "Let's go and see how he is now."

They made their way through the jungle, braving the dangers they come to face with. Pichu suddenly stops in his tracks and says, "Beware! I hear someone coming towards us!" Everybody got into defensive stances. Suddenly, a horde of strange black creatures emerges from the trees and bushes. "Are these Darkling?" asks Yoshi. "They look like monkeys to me,"

"Well, they have purple eyes," says Dr. Mario. "They also have a black body. Perhaps Darkling come in different shapes and forms." A monkey-like Darkling jumps down from the tree and towards DK. DK gets out his Giant's Axe and swings it horizontally at the Darkling, cutting it in half, and then the Darkling disappears. "Looks like they are Darkling."

Some more Darkling charge at Marth, and he took care of them easily with a single swing from the Durandal. A long snake-like Darkling drops down in front of Yoshi and hisses at him fiercely. Yoshi lifts up the Meteor Mace and smashes down at the Darkling, crushing its skull. Falco and Jigglypuff stands back to back, firing beams at Darkling surrounding them. Dr. Mario fires a wavy beam from his Heal Staff. When the beam hits a Darkling, the Darkling freezes in his tracks and cannot move at all, so Young Link proceeds to shoot it with Light Arrow.

Peach holds up the Frying Pan in front of her, waiting to attack any Darkling that dare come near her. Unknown to her, a Darkling slowly sneaks up behind her, and when it got near, it jumps up and is about to bite Peach's head when a beam is suddenly shot at the Darkling from the side, killing it. Peach drops onto her knee and sighs in relief. "Phew… That was close… Thanks Falco!"

"You should be more aware of your surroundings!" Falco tells her. "You can be killed any moment in a dangerous place like this!"

Jigglypuff notices a bush shaking. "Someone in bush! Who you are?"

"Please don't hurt me!" cries a voice from the bush. "I am a good person!"

"Come out show yourself!"

A little monkey with a red vest and wearing a red hat steps out. "Please don't kill me!" Upon seeing him, DK cries out happily. "DIDDY!" When the little monkey sees him, he also cries out happily. "DONKEY KONG!"

The two primates run at each other and crash face to face, but they are still smiling. "It's been a while, Diddy!" says DK happily.

"It sure is, DK!" says Diddy. "A lot of things happened after you left. These strange black creatures started appearing everywhere and caused us a lot of trouble!"

"Those Darkling!" says DK angrily. "They will pay! And how is father?"

"He's safe and sound."

"He's safe and dumb? Well, he isn't exactly that dumb."

"Uh… You got hearing problem?" Peach shakes her head sadly and tells him, "Unfortunately, yes…"

Then a green parrot flies down from the trees and lands on DK's shoulder. "Squawk! DK, great to see ya!"

"Hoho! If it isn't Squawks the parrot!" says DK. "You're still alive!"

"Of course I'm alive! That's a weird question to ask. Come, I'll lead you all to Cranky's house."

"Isn't there any ride for us to get their quickly?" asks Peach

"Of course we have!" says Diddy. "But not everyone can get a ride." He whistles out a high-pitched tune and a rhino and an elephant steps into the scene. "Rambi! Ellie!" says DK. "Long time no see!"

"It sure is, DK!" says Rambi. "Come aboard! I'll take you to your dad at once!" DK and Diddy got onto the rhino. Ellie bends down and says, "Have a ride on me! Ladies first."

"Why thank you!" says Peach, and then she climbs up onto the elephant. Jigglypuff and Pichu also jump onto Ellie's back. "Wait… That leaves me, Yoshi, Dr. Mario, Marth, and Young Link…" says Falco. "Don't we get to have a ride!"

"Sorry," apologizes Diddy. "That's all we got."

"This sucks…" Nevertheless, they walk through the jungle to reach Cranky's cabin. Unknown to all of them, Punk the Space Pirate, camouflaged, was watching them all along from atop a tree. He immediately disappears in a blink.

Meanwhile, on the far side of the island stood a tall metallic tower in the form of a crocodile. Punk goes into the tower and meets K. Rool. "Those Smashers are here."

"They're here already?" says K. Rool, quite surprised. "That's so fast! Well, we have to make sure they never find the reactor."

"Do you want us to go eliminate them at once?" a Kremling asks him. "We need a plan first," K. Rool tells him. "If we just go like this, we'll only lose more men." K. Rool sits back onto his throne and starts to come up with a plan to kill them all. "Should I send a huge army of Klubbas after them? Should I fire cannons from my castle all the way to their cabin? Should I use poisonous gas? Should I murder them while they are sleeping?"

While he is wondering all these, a Kremling walks up to him and says, "Sire, we spot a pirate ship approaching this island."

"Pirate ship?" asks K. Rool. "So what? They probably won't interfere with us." Anyway, he got up and looks into the binoculars. Indeed, there is a pirate ship out in the open sea, steering towards Congo Bongo. K. Rool can clearly see the ship's flag, which has a picture of the trademark skull & crossbones symbol on it, but the skull is wearing a straw hat. "Now that's a funny symbol," he thought.

A black skin man in sunglasses steps up to him and says, "Do you know who those pirates are?"

"No. Who are they, Mr. 5?"

The man, named Mr. 5, replies, "I have met and fought them before. They are none other than the Straw hat Pirates!"

"Now that's a weird name…"

"They are very strong! Do not underestimate them! Their captain is really powerful!"

"They're really powerful…" K. Rool thought for a while. "Perhaps I can make use of them…"

"What do you plan to do?"

"Good thing Crocodile sent you here to help me! I will pit them with the Smashers!"

Sure enough, on board the pirate ship are none other than Monkey D. Luffy and his crew. "I sight land!" shouts Usopp standing on the crow's nest (highest point of the ship).

"It really is land!" says Luffy happily while jumping up and down. "We haven't seen land for weeks already!"

"That place looks uninhabited…" says Nami. "Are we still going?"

"But how do you explain that tower sticking out the left side of the island?" asks Nico Robin. "Surely there has to be someone living there."

A bunch of Kremlings is standing at the shore, waiting for the ship to come. "It's getting closer and closer!" says a Kremling. "We will give them a 'warm' welcome when they dock."

A little while later, the pirate ship touches the sandy shore and seven crews got down from their ship. "Woohoo! This place is so beautiful!" exclaims Luffy. "I hope I can find a place where they sell lots of meat!"

"Is meat all you can think of?" Nami asks him. The Kremlings step forward and show themselves to the pirates. "You have come onto our island," says the Kremling commander. "As a custom of our island, you must prove to us that you are worthy of coming here!"

"I have a bad feeling about this…" says Usopp. "These reptilian freaks look scary!"

"What do you mean?" Luffy asks the Kremlings. "It means you will have to fight us!" the Kremling tells him. "If you can defeat us, you can tour this island as you want. You'll have to leave if you lose! You may even die in this battle." Upon hearing this, Usopp and Chopper hug each other in fear. "Uh… Let's not get into this scary situation…" suggests Usopp. "I think it's better that we leave…"

"I don't wanna die!" cries Chopper. Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji bravely steps forward. "So all we have to do is beat up you guys?" asks Luffy. "That would be fun!"

"This sounds interesting," says Zoro, getting ready to unsheathe his swords. "You're not thinking twice, eh?" says the Kremling. He turns to his men behind him and commands, "Get them!"

The moment he says 'get them', Luffy stretches his arm forward and punches the commander HARD in to the face. The commander falls onto the sandy beach, dazed. "Did I see that right?" asks a Kremling. "I thought I saw that straw hat dude's arm stretching out very long!"

"Whatever!" says another Kremling. "They hit our commander, so we attack!" The hordes of Kremling yell a war cry and charge at the three pirates. "Yoohoo! They're coming!" exclaims Luffy happily. "This is fun!"

Luffy stretches his leg out far and uses it to whip out a horde of Kremlings. Zoro charges at another horde of Kremling with all three of his swords and knocks them out. Sanji delivers a powerful horizontal kick, taking out the last of the Kremlings.

K. Rool is watching secretly from among the bushes. "Amazing! Those three pirates took out my army of 60 men within a few seconds!"

A large muscular Klubba steps forward and says, "So you defeated the others, but can you defeat me?" He raises his club and smashes Luffy hard on the head. "Ha! Gotcha!" laughs the Klubba.

The rest of Luffy's crew just grins. "He's not that easy to beat as you think," Zoro tells him. The Klubba lifts up his club and is surprised to see Luffy still alive and well. "Haha! That doesn't hurt at all!" laughs Luffy. "Now's my turn!" Without a warning, he swings his fist at the Klubba's face hard, and then uses Gum Gum Bazooka to sent him shooting backwards like a missile. The Klubba kept going backwards until he hits a rocky cliff, creating a wide crater on it.

"Yoohoo! I win!" exclaims Luffy. K. Rool steps out from among the bushes and claps his hand. "Congratulations! You have passed the test!"

"Uh?" wonder the pirates. K. Rool says, "You have proven your worth coming onto this island. Welcome! I will treat you well!" K. Rool then leads them to his castle.

Inside the castle, They were brought to a huge luxurious dining room and a great meal is set before them. "Wow!" exclaims Nami. "What a beautiful place this is!"

"MEAT! FOOD!" shouts Luffy loudly as he runs onto a seat and starts eating wildly. "That guy has no table manners," says Sanji, disgusted.

"Well, I bet he's really hungry!" says K. Rool. Mr. 5 is peeking into the room from outside. "I must not let them see me," he thought.

As the pirates are eating their food, Luffy starts stealing other people's food. "Hey! That's mines!" says Zoro angrily when Luffy took his dish. "But I'm still hungry!" Luffy complains, and then he steals from Chopper's. "HEY!"

Usopp said to himself, "I will use my special trick—the Usopp Sauce!" He pours the spicy sauce into a rice ball and allows Luffy to steal it. When Luffy eats it, he screams, "MY MOUTH IS BURNING!"

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" laughs Usopp. Luffy throws a bowl of egg salad into his face as revenge. Sanji gets up and says angrily, "Don't play with food, would you!" And Luffy throws a plate of spaghetti into his face. "Would you guys please kindly stop doing that?" says Nami, and then some random person smacks her face with a pumpkin pie…

And so, there was a food fight in the dining room. K. Rool and Robin wanted to avoid the fight, so they stood at the corner. "Are they always like this?" K. Rool whispers into Robin's ear. "Sometimes…" she replies.

After the chaos is over, they went to clean themselves. When all these are finished, K. Rool comes to them and says, "I hope you are enjoying yourselves."

"You bet!" says Luffy. "You're such a kind person!"

K. Rool's face starts to look down. "I noticed that you all are very strong during the fight with my men."

"So?" K. Rool bows down before them and says, "Please do me a favor of getting rid of my sworn enemies!" K. Rool explains everything to them about the Smashers, saying that they are the most evil people in the world and how they would come once in a while to torture him and all. And as you all know, this is a BIG LIE.

"Please! I don't want to live a life in fear and pain! Please get rid of my enemies for me!"

"This guy looks poor…" says Luffy, he turns to his crews and asks, "Wanna help him?"

"I don't see why not," says Zoro. "It is an important thing to help people in need," says Sanji. "Since he treated us kindly, we should repay him with kindness," states Robin.

"Thank you so much!" says K. Rool. "I will award you with treasures if you do so!" Upon hearing the word treasure, Nami asks excitedly, "Treasure! Where!" He brings them to a vault room and shows them several golden bananas. "Well? What do you think?"

"Why are they all bananas?" asks Chopper. "Because these are all this island has gotten!" K. Rool tells him.

Meanwhile, the Smashers have made their way to Cranky's cabin safely. DK enters the cabin and calls out, "Father! I'm home!" An old ape steps out from behind the curtain door. He is so old that he needs to have two canes to support himself. "It's about time you show up, you big retard."

"Why that mood, father? Cheer up!"

"If only somebody could take care of these Kremlings, then I will cheer up!"

"Shouldn't it be Darkling?" asks Marth. "Kremling or Darkling, whatever! They are on the same team!" says Cranky. "You mean that they are working together?" asks Yoshi. Cranky eyes him and says, "Do you want me to repeat that again?"

"Um… Yes…?"

After everyone settled down, Cranky begins explaining everything. "These Darkling showed up about two days ago. The Kremlings arrived not long ago. It appears that they have made agreements with each other."

"I would never thought the Kremlings would be on the same side with the Darkling!" says Dr. Mario. "It's no surprise to me since they're all evil," says Falco.

"We will go tomorrow morning and take out the Darkling and Kremlings!" says Marth. "And then we find and destroy the dark reactor!"

"But how do we find it?" Falco asks him. "Well…" says Marth. "We'll just look around."

"Maybe reactor in Kremling castle?" mentions Jigglypuff. "Hey! That could be it!" says Marth. "Fine, we'll leave tomorrow morning."

"How about breakfast?" asks Yoshi. "Don't worry about that, please…" Marth tells him.

At the castle…

Luffy is looking at the picture of the 26 Smashers that K. Rool gave him. "So these are the people we have to fight. There are a lot of them…"

"26 is nothing!" says Zoro. "We fought more than that!"

"Okay! We go out tomorrow morning and beat the heck out of them! K. Rool will feel safe and give us his treasures!"

TO BE CONTINUED…

The battle between the Straw hats and the Smashers will occur next chapter. Please review.
