Hey everyone! I'm back with another chapter that's a little sooner than expected. I don't think it matters that much because I've got the next couple chapters planned out for y'all. I hope the majority of you love the fic so far. As I said before, I want to include all fighters so that no one gets left out like Toon Link, Jigglypuff and Wolf did back in Brawl's Subspace Emissary. Now as always, don't forget to fave, follow, rate, and review and all that good stuff! Let's continue where we left off!

Chapter 16:
Donkey Kong Island, World of Trophies
Fox was almost finished repairing his Arwing with the parts Diddy Kong retrieved from the factory higher up on the island. Meanwhile, Donkey Kong was working out his muscles while Diddy was tinkering with his rocketbarrel pack and peanut popguns.
"It looks like I'm about done with the repairs on the Arwing. Just a little more adjusting… and there! Good as new!" Said Fox as he got up from under the craft. "Thanks for your help, Kongs!"
"-No problem Fox!-" Responded Diddy.
"-We got your back no matter what!-" Said DK as he slapped the pilot on the back in a joking brotherly way.
Suddenly, the trio saw and felt somewhat unnatural winds blowing from the shoreline. This was then followed by rumbling which could be heard all around them.
"I don't think that's a storm heading our way." Said Fox.
The pilot and the two primates immediately ran out of the jungle area and got onto the beach on the edge on the island. When they looked at the horizon, they could see a massive light airship approaching them.
"Judging from the color scheme, that looks like one of Galeem's ships!" Deduced Fox.
Donkey Kong was clenching both of his fists as he gritted his teeth. "-Well… Look who's back.-"
"-I thought we'd never see him again!-" Added Diddy in disbelief as he saw the captain on the top of the ship.
Once the commander of the ship, King K Rool, saw the three heroes on the shore line, he took a microphone which was connected to a loudspeaker on the front of the ship. "Kongs! This has been a long time coming! I finally have the power to utterly wipe you from the face of this world once and for all! All thanks to Galeem! Surrender to me now, or face the destructive power of my ultimate warship! The Gangplank Galleon 2.0!"
Fox was undeniably enraged that Galeem had already caught up to them.
"-We're not going down without a fight! We'll protect this island with our dying breath!-" Screamed Diddy Kong.
"I was expecting one of you fools to say something like that." Responded K Rool. "Now you will all wish you would have surrendered!"
The crocodile king gave an order to his Kremling soldiers on the bridge of the ship. "Fire the front cannon! Make sure their island is wiped from the face of this world!"
The front crocodile shaped cannon lit up with a vast amount of light energy.
"That thing looks to be charging up!" Warned Fox.
The only thing standing in the cannon's way was DK armed with the ice horn he obtained from the leader of viking-like invaders he defeated some time ago. "Don't worry! I've got this!" Said DK as he had the horn in his hand.
As the cannon fired a devastating shot capable of wiping out an entire city, DK took a deep breath and blew everything he had in his lungs into the horn to fire a powerful and concentrated stream of ice energy. The two shots were at first equal in strength for a few seconds, but the power of K Rool's new ship was too much for DK to hold back as he was running out of breath. Once K Rool's shot's power reached the gorilla, he was knocked back a couple dozen feet while the horn itself was obliterated into dust.
"What a noble act from my longtime rival. Risking his own life to save his own home." Mocked K Rool.
"Fire the blast again!" Ordered the king.
One Kremling reluctantly decided to respond. "We… We can't sir. The cannon takes approximately fifteen minutes to recharge."
Frustrated, K Rool takes out his microphone again. "You have 15 minutes to reconsider your decision! If you choose to not surrender then, I won't hesitate to let your island be destroyed!"
Diddy and Fox were helping the injured DK and dragged him back in the jungle. The gorilla was barely conscious. "-Did… Did I hold it back?-"
"-Yeah. You bought us enough time to take that ship down.-" Reassured Diddy.
DK was relieved to hear this. "-Diddy…,Fox, destroy that thing. Your little plane should be working right?-"
"Yeah it is." Confirmed Fox.
"-Destroy that ship with it… before the time runs out. Or it's… game over for all of us.-" Ordered DK.
"-Okay. We will.-" Said Diddy.
The small primate and the pilot got in the Arwing. Unfortunately, Diddy had to get crammed in the back because it was a one seat craft.
Once the Arwing took off from the jungle area of the island, K Rool immediately took notice of its presence. "Shoot that craft down! Keep it away from the ship at all costs!"
The ship's upper and side cannons were firing at the Arwing, keeping Fox occupied.
"I can't find an opening to fire!" Said Fox. "The cannons are forcing me to evade!"
"-Try flying under the ship!-" Suggested Diddy.
Once they were under, Fox and Diddy got a glance at a weak spot. "It's vulnerable on its underside! Just like a normal crocodile!"
K Rool was caught off guard when he saw the craft go under. "Keep them away from the underbelly! Release the fighters to stop them!"
When the Arwing went for another go at the underside, Fox got some good damage in before he was interrupted by Lightspace Army drones and helicopter-like fighter crafts piloted by Kremlings. Fox had no choice but to flee and try again.
While all this was going on, Donkey Kong was watching from the beach as he was recovering from his previous injuries from the large blast. However, he couldn't watch for long because some gunships from K Rool's ship went onto the shoreline to finish him off.
After eating some bananas to partially recover his energy, DK ran straight for the first gunship that set down on the shore and threw it at another one that was yet to land, destroying both.
More gunships set down and were carrying Kremlings and Light Primids armed with super scopes and ray guns. After some aiming, every troop on the shore fired at the large primate without a second thought. DK couldn't withstand the onslaught for much longer but he knew he wasn't going down without a fight despite the overwhelming force and injuries.
Just when Donkey Kong was about to be knocked down for good, an explosion came from the direction behind him, distracting the entire squadron and scattering the forces. Two more explosions came from the same spot as a small blond haired boy dressed in green jumped from the fire and slashed down any troops that came in his way with his special sword. DK was relieved that someone would be there for him. Once the boy got to the large primate, he healed him up with a fairy bottle he had in his pouch.
"It looked like you needed help so I went ahead and healed your wounds! Now let's take these bad guys down!" Said the boy eagerly.
DK responded with a gleeful smile to express his gratitude for feeling rejuvenated from the fairy. Because of that, he was back on his feet and ready to fight the Kremling and Lightspace troops again alongside his new friend who he thought looked sort of familiar.
Back in the sky, Fox and Diddy were evading both the cannons and fighters K Rool had at his disposal. Soon though, Fox had an idea. "I'm gonna go for the underside again! I'll try to make a hole there! As soon as an opening is present, use your rocketbarrel pack to fly through that hole and board the ship! I'll go in after you! You got all that?"
"-Yeah! I got it!-" Confirmed Diddy.
K Rool then got on the speaker again. "Oh time update! There's now only ten minutes until my ship destroys your pathetic island!"
Fox went under the ship again and he fired all he had at the underside until an opening was present. Once he saw it, he opened the cockpit. "Now!" As soon as Diddy heard him, he fired up his rocketbarrel pack and flew into the opening, successfully boarding the ship.
Fox then initiated his ejector seat to propel himself into the hole after he set his Arwing to autopilot.
When the two were in the ship, they immediately took notice of the massive labyrinth. They would have to explore it if it meant saving DK Island.
"Let's save your home Diddy." Fox replied. The two then made their way through the large maze of the ship.
