Chapter VII: Mon"key"ing Around Part II
Back in the jungle, Sora and the others have just defeated the last group of heartless. DK then pointed to his left.
"There it is guys!" DK announced. "The rare torow-torow flowers."
Sora ran over and grabbed a bunch.
"Great!" Sora smiled. "Now we can save Yoshi!"
All of a sudden a gun shot could be heard.
"W-what was that?" Luigi asked nervously.
"It sounded like it came from the tree house." DK said. He then gasped. "Oh, no! My friends are in trouble!"
"We'd better get back there before whoever fired off that gun does." Sora added.
Sora, Luigi, and DK ran as fast as they could back to the tree house. On the way they battled any heartless that tried to stop them. Sora slashed through them. Luigi sucked some of them up and DK blasted them with his coconut gun. They then arrived at the bamboo forest expecting heartless, but to their surprise nobody was there.
"Looks like we're safe for now." Luigi sighed with relief.
"We're almost there!" DK said. "Just pass this bamboo forest there should be a barrel to take us back."
"I'm afraid I won't let you get there, maytes!" Called a familiar voice.
"Gee, I wonder who that is?" Luigi asked sarcastically.
"Santa Claus?" DK asked excitedly.
"Boy, maybe Donkey Kong should be a little home schooled." Sora said shaking his head. Skurvy then jumped out from the bamboo. "Skurvy!"
"We meet again boy!" Skurvy laughed at Sora.
"There's no point in fighting you again." DK groaned. "You've already got beaten twice and I doubt you can win again, especially since Green Kroc and Kutlass aren't here to help you this time."
"That's where you're wrong Donkey Kong." Skurvy laughed. "They temporality fused their power with mine making me invincible."
Donkey Kong then ran at Skurvy with full power.
"Wait, DK!" Sora called out. "What if he's telling the truth?"
"No way!" DK said charging at Skurvy. "Skurvy will always be Skurvy, a weakling!"
Skurvy smacked DK aside and he crashed into a bush. Skurvy quickly ran at Sora with his sword out and was about to bring it down on him. Sora quickly took his keyblade out and clashed with Skurvy.
"Whoa!" Sora though. "He is stronger this time!"
Skurvy tripped Sora and quickly raps his tail around Sora's neck. He then choked Sora, but Sora bit his tail causing Skurvy to scream in pain and blow on his tail.
"You'll pay for that you dog!" Skurvy growled.
"Yuck! Nothing like crocodile in the afternoon." Sora chuckled.
Skurvy ran at Sora again and the two of them clashed again. Sora spun around Skurvy and tried to kick him but Skurvy grabbed Sora's leg and threw him to the ground.
"I suggest surrendering little sailor." Skurvy said putting his sword up to Sora's face. "Your ship has come in."
"And you're about to hit the deck!" Luigi shouted.
Skurvy turns to see Luigi firing a fire spell at him. Skurvy screamed in pain from the burning.
"Quick kid!" Luigi called out. "Now's your chance!"
"Right!" Sora nodded. Sora quickly ran at Skurvy and rammed his head into Skurvy's gut. Skurvy went flying and landed behind the bamboo. The three then went back to back. "Keep your eyes opened. He may try to ambush us!"
"Will do little buddy!" DK smiled. He then scratched his head. "Um, what does ambush mean?"
Sora just rolled his eyes. Meanwhile, back at Cranky's lab, Cranky was waiting impatiently for Sora and his friends return.
"Where are those whipper snappers?" Cranky asked.
"They sure have been gone awhile." Candy added concerned.
"Yoshi's tummy hurt even more." Yoshi whined.
Just then everyone could hear noises outside. Cranky and Candy peaked outside to see Power Wild heartless. The two gasped and shut the door.
"What were those things?" Candy asked nervously.
"I-I don't know, but don't worry no one can knock down this door." Cranky said. Just then Diddy knocked down the door and jumps into Candy's arms and knocked her over. "Maybe next time I'll keep my mouth shut."
"Diddy what's going on?" Candy asked.
"Th-they're coming!" Diddy muffled in Candy's arms.
"Who's coming?"
All of a sudden a shadow came in bigger then the three Kongs. The three Kongs gasped in horror and everything went black.
Back at the bamboo forest, Sora and the others were looking around.
"I wonder if we really beat him?" Sora asked still in a little disbelief.
"I wouldn't let your guard down, kid." Luigi said. "He might be trying to trick us."
"I didn't ask for your help and frankly I don't need it!" Sora said angrily at Luigi.
"Fine!" Luigi growled turning away from Sora."Then you don't get any more!"
"Come on, guys!" DK called out. "Let's put all of this fighting aside and worry about beating Skurvy."
"Fine!" They both said to DK.
Skurvy then jumped out from behind the bamboo and attacked DK. Sora jumped up and kicked him aside. Skurvy tries to slash at Sora but Luigi pulled him in with the P 3000. He then turned it off and Skurvy fell down.
"I don't get it!" Skurvy panted. "I should be stronger! Why can't I still win?"
"Don't you get it Skurvy?" DK laughed. "We're working at a team! Three against one isn't much of a fair match, just like you did to poor Sora earlier."
"Fools!" Skurvy Snarled. "I will not be humiliated by you morons! Prepare to die!" He then started running towards the group but then stopping. "Huh? I feel funny." All of a sudden Skurvy started glowing.
"Luigi? What's going on?" Sora asked.
"I-I don't know."
Just then Kutlass and Green Kroc appeared beside Skurvy. Skurvy noticed them and made a nervous look.
"Uh oh." Skurvy said with a gulp.
"Captain Skurvy sir, what happened?" Kutlass asked.
"Apparently, our fusion has worn off." Skurvy said. He then turned to notice Sora's group smirking and approaching them. The three pirates then got nervous and backed away. "Hey fellas, can't we talk this over some nice tasty elixirs?"
"Hey DK, would you prefer baggage or a nice purse for Candy?" Sora jokingly asked DK.
"Both." DK responded with a maniacal laugh.
The three pirates screamed like little girls and ran away. As they left, the pirates dropped something and Sora picked it up.
"Come on, kid! Our friends are in trouble!" Luigi said.
"Let's hurry back then!" Sora announced
"Bananaaaa Slama!" DK cried.
The group quickly jumped into the barrel and they got launched back to Cranky's lab. Upon their arrival they got greeted by the heartless. Sora used his Sonic Wave move to quickly dispose of them and then our heros ran into the lab only to see it in ruin.
"Surprising, spaghetti!" Luigi cried. "This is worse then my Nona's kitchen when we use to visit her on Saturdays." Sora and DK made confused looks at Luigi. "Nona is Grandma in Italian."
"Oh!" Sora and DK said in unison.
Sora and the group then looked around.
"What happened? This place is a disaster again!" Sora exclaimed.
"Boy, Cranky would flip if he saw that his lab was a mess." DK said looking around. He then stood on a pile of broken wood.
"I'm already freaking out!" Called a muffled voice.
DK looked around with hope.
"Cranky? Cranky? Where are you?" DK asked looking around with hope.
"You're standing on me!" He yelled.
DK jumped off the pile and Cranky broke through it and shook his head. "Oops, sorry."
"Be thank full I'm not in my extremely angry mood or else I'd be busting your bananas." Cranky said getting up and brushing himself off.
"Like, that made any sense." Luigi said rolling his eyes.
"Sir, are you alright?" Sora asked Cranky.
"I'm fine young man." Cranky said sitting down in his rocking chair. "If I were in my youth I would have kick that General Klump's sorry behind."
"General Klump was here?" DK exclaimed.
"Who's that?" Luigi asked.
"One of my arch-enemy's side-kicks." DK explained. "King K. Rool is their leader. For years he always tried to get the crystal coconut so he could rule this world. Why was he here, Cranky?"
"That dumb Kremling and his partner Krusha kidnaped Diddy and Candy." Cranky told DK. DK then gasped. "And they took some of my lab equipment and that dino kid."
"Yoshi!" Sora and Luigi cried. They both turned to each other "Huh?" They both then turned their heads away from each other. "Hmph!"
"Come on, guys!" DK groaned. "This isn't the time to be fighting. We got to think straight and stick together or else will never be able to save our friends."
"Wow, that's the smartest thing I've ever heard him say." Cranky thought to himself with a chuckle.
"But where could they have gotten too?" Sora asked.
"Probably to their cave." DK assumed.
"We have to hurry before they try to hurt anyone, including Yoshi!" Luigi shouted.
"Cranky, wait here while we try to find the others!" DK said as leaving with Sora and Luigi.
"Oh, sure that's fine." He said sarcastically. "Leave me here to CLEAN UP EVERYTHING!"
Sora and Luigi followed DK as fast as they could through the jungle. Along the way they encountered heartless, but Sora slashed through them and DK shot some with his coconut gun. One tried to ambush our heros but Luigi shots a Fire attack turning it into ashes. They then reached a round grass area and they all of a sudden saw Diddy and Candy embracing each other around a dark energy shield. DK ran to them.
"Donkey Kong!" Candy cried.
"Little buddy! Candy! Hold on!" DK called to them.
"Wait, it could be a trap!" Sora called to DK.
DK ran into the shield and got knocked back. DK got back up and punched at it, having no effect.
"Dumb ape." Luigi muttered. "Always attack, never plan."
"Darn!" DK said angrily snapping his finger. "We got to figure out another way to break through this thing."
All of a sudden more heartless appeared.
"Let's figure it out after we beat those guys, huh?" Luigi said.
Sora charged at the heartless and tried to hit it but it jumped up and kicked him in the face. Sora jumped back up to his feet and looked up as it attacked again. This time he attacked the foot and the Power Wild fell over and grabbed it's toe hopping around. He stabbed the heartless killing it. Five more surround him and he quickly clashed with each one getting into a melee type combat. Luigi shot a fire spell at a few burning them up but then more attacked him, but DK quickly smacked them off him. More then keep coming.
"They just don't seem to stop!" Sora exclaimed while kicking a Power Wild aside. "It's like their being attracted by something!"
"Could be that shield Diddy and Candy are in." Luigi assumed shooting a thunder spell.
"There must be something that can knock it down!" DK said. DK then looked up at a tree to notice a giant purple banana with the same color as the shield hanging in a tree. DK then made a disgusted look. "Out of all the bananas I've eaten, there is now way I'd eat that one, but the color looks familiar. Where have I seen that?" After ten minutes of thinking he finally got it. "Aha! No, wait I had it!" He thought about it again. "Hey, that banana has the same color as the shield! Sora!"
"What's up?" Sora asked while kicking heartless aside.
"This must be the shield's power source!" DK said pointing up at the banana.
"It's looks like the color of the shield." Sora gasped. "I'm going to make a jump for it!"
Sora ran through a swarm of heartless and slashed at them. He then jumped onto DK's shoulders and jumped onto the tree and stabbed the banana causing a wave of darkness to flow out. Luigi and DK ducked down as the wave hit the heartless and the shield. After it cleared up, the shield was gone and the two Kongs were free. DK then ran up to them and hugged them.
"I'm so glad you two are okay." DK said happily.
"Okay, big guy!" Diddy gagged. "You're chocking us!"
He then put them down. "Oops, sorry."
"Guys, are you alright?" Luigi asked.
"We're find but those creeps took your friend to the cave." Candy said.
"They also so captured Dixie, and I'm not sure why." Diddy asked. "But no matter what the reason, I'm coming with you guys to the cave to rescue her."
"All right, little buddy!" DK said giving his friend a high five.
"We'll take care of K.Rool and his goons once and for all!" Sora announced.
"I'll head back to the lab and help Cranky." Candy said. She then turned to DK. "Donkey Kong be careful. I truly do love you and I don't want you to get hurt."
Candy kisses DK on the cheek and walked away. DK begam jumping around hooting.
"Banana Slammma!" He cried.
"You can enjoy that kiss later." Luigi said jumping up and down. "We've got to hurry or they'll do something to our friends!"
"Right!" Sora nodded. "Let's get going!'
The four heros made their way to the lair of K.Rool. Meanwhile, at the cave K.rool was mixing some things up using the lab equipment that Krusha and Klump stole from Cranky's lab. Beside him was, Dixie who out cold on the ground and Krusha and Klump were both pinning Yoshi down, but Yoshi tried to struggle.
"Just stay down you little maggot!" Klump groaned.
"Don't waste your strength on this little runt General Klump." Krusha laughed. "I have eaten worms bigger then him."
"Let Yoshi go!" Yoshi screamed. "Help! Sora! Luigi! Help, Yoshi!"
K.Rool pored a red liquid out of the beaker and into a small test tube. He then walked over to Yoshi talking in a sweat voice. "Now drink this you sweet little angel you." Yoshi then bit at K.Rool and K.Rool backed up raising his voice. "Don't make me show you how dinosaurs became extinct!" He then stopped and thought for a second and then snapped his finger. "I got it! Hey, little guy, I heard you got a tummy ache."
Yoshi then calmed down and sat up. "How did big guy know?"
"Well my friend, the moment I saw you I could tell you needed help and luckily I can help you." K.Rool laughed,
"How can big guys help Yoshi?" Yoshi asked.
"Simple, young trooper. Just drink the nice alligator's drink" Klump explained "And you can kiss that tummy ache good-bye."
"Ooh!" Yoshi said excitedly. "Yoshi drink! Yoshi drink!" Yoshi grabbed the tube and drank it all up. Yoshi's mouth then begins glowing and Yoshi spat the crystal coconut out.
K.Rool's eyes widened upon seeing it and rubbed his hands together.
"At long last, the Crystal Coconut is finally mine!" K.Rool laughed. The coconut then began glowing.
"Um, what's the coconut doing sir..." Krusha began to ask.
"Quite you fool!" K.Rool snapped at Krusha. An image appeared on screen showing Sora and his friends running through a group of heartless. "What? It's that kid and Donkey Kong too!"
"Sora!" Yoshi cried.
"But sir, if my calculations were correct, Skurvy should have been able to finish that brat off." Klump said in shock.
K.Rool then grabbed both Krusha and Klump by the neck.
"Next time calculate a bit better!" K.Rool yelled at Klump. "Because of you two idiots, Donkey Kong and his friends are going to ruin my plans again. And that dumb Koopa hasn't gotten here yet because he was taking his afternoon lava bath. We need to stall for time so he can get here and grab the girl before they get here first."
"I...will..come...up...with...a...plan...if...you...can...stop...strangling me sir!" Klump gagged.
"I could be of some assistants sir." Called a mysterious voice.
The kremling turned to see another Kong wearing a Karate gi.
"Kong fu!" K.Rool exclaimed. "When are on earth have you been?"
"I am sorry master." Kong fu said doing a karate bow. "But I had to fight evil ninja apes on my way over here. I was surrounded by millions of them, they came at me from all corners. I couldn't stop them, they attacked me and...
"Enough of your stupid stories!" K.Rool interrupted angrily. "I called you here to try and defeat Donkey Kong again, and I know you're dying for a rematch!"
"I am!" Kong fu said in a silent tone. "He will pay for humiliating in battle, when I should have won!"
"As a matter of fact, he should be here any second. So, why don't you give him a warm welcome?" K.Rool smirked.
"With pleasure." Kong fu smirked back.
Back outside, Sora and the others reached the entrance to K.Rool's cave.
"This is it guys!" Diddy announced. Now, let's save Dixie!"
Diddy was about to run in when a flash of smoke hit him.
"Little buddy!" DK cried running over to him. He then bent down to him and picked him up. "Are you okay?"
"Not as bad as you'll be stupefied one!" Called a voice.
"I know that voice." DK whispered to himself. He backed away and Kong Fun appeared out of the smoke. "Kong fu!"
"So, Donkey Kong we meet again." Kong fu said getting into a fighting position.
"Apparently, these two have cross paths before." Sora said.
"I am here for a rematch brown one." Kong fu said. "And this time the darkness can't save you for I have been going for special therapy. So I no longer fear it, it is my enemy and I have conquered it."
Luigi started laughing. "You mean, you were afraid of the dark? What a chicken?
"You dare mock the great Kong Fu?" Kung fu yelled angrily at Luigi. "You shall feel my wrath green one! Hiya!"
Kong Fu sent a flying kick at Luigi. The foot was about to hit, but Luigi grabbed the foot and jumped up kicking Kong Fu in the gut. Everybody including Sora dropped their mouths wide open. Kong Fu got back up and got into battle position.
"Luigi, how did you..."
"I took a few karate lessons in my day." Luigi chuckled to Sora. He then took the P 3000 off and got ready to fight. "You three run for it while I'll take care of Kong Fu!"
"You are skilled Green one but you are no match for me." Kong fu said.
KF threw a punch at Luigi but he moved out of the way and tried to trip KF but he jumped over Luigi's kick and kicked Luigi in the face sending him flying into a tree. Luigi spun his body back and kicked against a tree and punched Kong fu who blocks the attacks and tried to counter but Luigi also blocked it.
"Man, he gave me such a hard time but Luigi is fighting him at his own level! That's cool!" DK said impressed.
"Guys! What are you waiting for? A mozzarella milkshake?" Luigi said blocking Kong Fu's attacks. "Get in there!"
"Okay!" Sora nodded. He then stopped and looked at DK. "What's a mozzarella milkshake?"
DK shrugged his shoulders and he, Diddy, and Sora quickly ran into the cave. Luigi blocked a kick with his arm and tried to counter with a punch but KF blocked it with his hand. The two struggled but Luigi pushes KF back and did a round house kick knocking Kong Fu down, but he quickly got to his feet and kicked Luigi in the gut. Luigi got back up and the two stood in fighting posses.
"Truly impressive green one." Kong Fu smirked. "You rival my skills and technique, but in the end not even you can defeat me."
"Come prove it." Luigi smirked. Luigi waved his hand with a "Bring it on" hand movement. The two then charged at each other again.
Back in the cave, Dixie Kong was still out cold and K.Rool was getting impatient.
"I can't stand it!" K.Rool yelled. "I'll have the heartless take her away."
A group of heartless approached the lifeless body but Yoshi jumps in front of her.
"Yoshi, protect monkey girl." Yoshi said bravely. "Yoshi no scared!"
"Ten hut heartless! Dispose of that dino maggot!" Klump told the heartless.
The heartless are ready to attack when Sora ran in.
"No!" Sora cried out. The heartless turned to see Sora and he threw his keyblade at them destroying each one. Yoshi then quickly ran over to him and jumped into his arms.
"Sora here to save Yoshi!" Yoshi said happily. He then licked Sora's face, and Sora laughed.
"Okay, Yoshi." Sora chuckled. "I'm glad to see you too."
"Krusha! Klump!" K.Rool said. "Get them!"
The two charged at Sora and Yoshi but DK jumped in front of them.
"Oh, no!" They both cried.
"Bananaaaaa Slamaaaaaaaa! DK cried. He threw a punch at both of them and they hit the wall.
Diddy ran over to Dixie but a group of heartless got in his way.
"Out of my way freaks!" Diddy shouted throwing an orange at the heartless. It then caused an explosion. As the smoke cleared Diddy looked around and saw no sign of Dixie. Diddy looked around the cave calling her name. "Dixie! Dixie!"
"K.Rool!" Sora yelled pointing his keyblade at K.Rool.
K.Rool just smirked at Sora.
"It's not K.Rool." DK said observing him.
"W-what do you mean?" Diddy asked. "It's that same dumb alligator we've always fought against."
"I know." DK nodded. "But it's like I can't feel a heart in him."
"Is he heartless?" Yoshi asked.
"Attack!" K.Rool shouted to the heartless.
The power wilds attack our heros. Sora slashed at some and tripped one over. DK pounded the ground knocking some heartless out of the way. Yoshi ate some and spat them back out at other heartless. Meanwhile, Luigi was blocking some of Kong Fu's attacks but Kong Fu punched Luigi in the chest sending him crashing him into a tree. Luigi jumped back up and sent a flying kick at Kong Fu but he blocked it again and threw Luigi making him crash into the ground. Luigi got back up, but he was short of breath.
"I can't last much longer." Luigi thought.
"I'm bored of you green one." Kong fu sighed. "Time to finish you off with my flying bananas of doom!" He then put one foot up and raised his arm. He made karate sounds and was ready to strike when a mouse ran by him and he screamed like a little girl and jumped into a tree. "Keep it away! Keep it away!"
"Hey, he's afraid of mice." Luigi snickered. "Now's my chance!"
Kong Fu slowly slid down from the tree and looked around with caution.
"Is it gone? Is it gone? Is it on me? Is it on me?" He said in a panic. He then turned to see Luigi running at him with a punch. "Uh-oh!"
Luigi punched Kong Fu in the gut and continuously hit him. He then jumped up into the air doing a mid-air pose
"Pasta Power!" He cried He then kicked Kong Fu in the face and he fell to the ground. He weakly got up and looked up to see a smirking Luigi. "Want some more?"
"I...give...up!" Kong Fu said weakly. He then fainted.
"Hoo-hoo! I'm the winner." Luigi cheered. "But I better help my friends out!"
Luigi put the P 3000 on and ran into the cave. Meanwhile, K.Rool threw his crown at Sora but Sora jumped out of the way. The crown then came back to him.
"What is that crown like, a boomerang?" Sora asked in surprise.
"He's had years of experience with it." DK said rolling his eyes.
K.Rool threw the crown at Sora again but DK grabbed it. Sora then attacked K.Rool with a flying kick sending him flying into a wall.
"Man, he's even more pathetic then Skurvy." Sora laughed.
"You may have defeated Skurvy but you'll never beat me." K.Rool said weakly. He stood up and looked to see Luigi enter. "You beat Kong Fu?"
"Let's just say he was a mice of mice." Luigi chuckled.
Sora just rolled his eyes. "He seriously got to lay off the corny jokes."
The five heros then surround K.Rool.
"You're surrounded, K.Rool!" DK said. "We took care of Krusha, Klump, and the heartless, so just give yourself up!"
"I've only just begun to fight." K.Rool said with a smirk. K.Rool picked up his crown and snapped his fingers. Just then the wall behind him got destroyed revealing a giant hole.
"What happened?" Yoshi asked Sora. "What he do?"
"I don't think he did anything." Sora gulped nervously. He then squinted his eyes and could notice a very faded outline. "What's that?"
"K.Rool out cold in a second." DK said charging at him. He was about to punch K.Rool when something knocked him straight back. DK then got up weakly and looked at K.Rool. "What just happened?"
K.Rool jumped up and then floated in mid-air.
"He's flying!" Luigi exclaimed. "But how?"
"He isn't flying." Sora said. "Listen, can you hear that?"
A growl could be heard and then K.Rool jumped into the air and the group jumped out of the way as he came down. Something landed on the ground while K.Rool was still floating.
"He's riding something!" Luigi said in shock. "But we can't see it! How do we beat that?"
"Just listen for it's sounds and concentrate." Sora instructed. "If you squint hard enough you can see an outline." K.Rool was about to attack again. "Look out!" The group quickly rolled out of the way again as whatever K.Rool was on attacked.
The group then attacked whatever K.Rool is riding. The thing screamed in pain as Sora slashed, Yoshi kicked, Luigi burnt, and DK punched it. It then knocked everyone back again and revealed itself as a green Chameleon with a heartless symbol.
"A Chameleon?" Yoshi cried.
"Correct, but not just a Chameleon say hello to my Stealth-Sneak." K.Rool laughed. "And he's hungry for a serving of keyblade master, plumber, dumb chimps, and dinosaur.
"No!" Yoshi whimpered. "Yoshi no taste good! Yoshi don't want to be eaten alive!"
"Don't worry kid." Luigi said to Yoshi. "We'll beat this guy so fast, he won't know what hit him."
"Attack!"
S.S. attacked our heros with a quick swipe and slashed at Sora but Sora blocked the attack but the force sent him back. S.S. stuck it's tongue out at Luigi but Yoshi countered with his own tongue and they went into a tongue lock. (Ironic isn't it?)
"Quick kid!" Luigi called to Sora. "Now's your chance to attack! Yoshi won't last too long!"
Sora jumped up onto S.S. and kicked K.Rool off S.S. but then S.S. hits it's head into Sora knocking him off. Sora got up and slashes S.S.'s tongue and it growled in pain. K.Rool brushes himself off and threw his crown at Sora again but Luigi sucked it up.
"Hey, I had five payments on the crown!" K.Rool yelled at Luigi waving his fist.
"Little buddy, go and get help!" DK instructed Diddy. Diddy nodded and ran out. "Sora, Luigi, and Yoshi, you deal with old ugly over here while I'll deal with K.Rool!"
"Right!"
S.S. attacks our heros with it's tail but they quickly jumped over the attack. It stuck it's tongue out at Luigi. Luigi tried to suck up the tongue but it wrapped itself around the P 3000 and pulled on it sending Luigi flying towards the creature's mouth. Sora and Yoshi both kicked S.S. in the face sending it crashing into the ground.
"Thanks, guys!" Luigi sighed. "I was almost a meatball."
"Well, that's what friends are for." Sora smiled. Luigi smiled back and S.S. got back up and attacked again.
S.S. fired two waves at Yoshi but he rolled out of the way. He rapidly fired waved at the trio but they dodged the attack. Sora shot a Thunder spell at S.S. but it fired waved at the spell and the two collided causing an explosion. Meanwhile, K.Rool threw a punch at DK but DK dodged the attack and grabbed K.Rool by the tail and sent him flying across the cave. K.Rool got back up and ran at DK but DK saw a magic barrel near by and jumps into it.
"What on earth?" K.Rool said with big eyes.
"Banana Slama!" DK cried. DK flew out of the barrel and rammed K.Rool in the gut and sending him flying into Krusha and Klump.
Sora and the others continued to dodge S.S.'s attacks. They tried to attack him but couldn't t lay a finger on him. S.S. began to glow again. Sora then saw an opening when it raised it's body out revealing the heatless symbol.
"This may be my only chance!" Sora shouted. Sora threw his keyblade and S.S. fired a wave. The wave hit Sora knocking him over screaming in pain and the keyblade stabbed S.S. in the chest making him growl in pain.
"Sora!" DK, Yoshi, and Luigi cried.
The three ran over to Sora and DK helped him up by putting his arm around him. "Put your weight on me, Sora. I got you. You okay?"
"A lot better then he is." Sora chuckled weakly.
The keyblade fell off S.S.'s chest and S.S. growled and had electricity surrounding it. K.Rool and his men stood up and turned to Sora's group unaware that S.S. was behind them.
"Now we've got them." Klump laughed. Klump took an orange off of his belt and prepared to throw it.
"Soon, Donkey Kong, you shall be sent to oblivion and I will use the Crystal Coconut's power to rule this entire world." K.Rool laughed manically.
Klump got ready to throw the orange and Krusha turned around and noticed S.S. ready to fall.
"Um, general Klump..." Krusha said nervously.
"Silence! Can't you see I'm about to blast them into next Tuesday?" Klump snapped.
With his last bit of strength Sora yelled out to the Kremlings. "Look out!"
The three Kremlings turned to see Stealth-Sneak falling on them and they screamed trying to run but it was too late. The heartless fell on top of them not only squishing them but squishing the oranges in Klump's hand and belt causing a massive explosion sending everyone flying. Diddy and the others arrived at the cave a few minutes later. As they enter they saw everything in K.Rool's lair has been destroyed and everyone on the floor. DK, Luigi, and Yoshi weakly stood up.
"DK, are you okay?" Diddy said running over to DK.
"I'm fine now little buddy." DK smiled at Diddy.
Candy then hugged Donkey Kong. "Oh, DK, you were so brave."
"Aw, shucks it was nothing." DK blushed.
"What happened here?" Cranky said looking around.
"Well sir, K.Rool was using the heartless and he almost got the crystal coconut but luckily we showed up and kicked his butt." Luigi told Cranky.
"Where are those fools now?"
"Gone for good." DK said to Cranky in a low tone. "A giant heartless squashed all three of them and there was a big explosion. I think they won't survive that."
"At long last, K.Rool is finally gone!" Cranky cheered. "Now we don't have to worry about the crystal coconut being stolen. I do feel sad because he used to be a friend of mine."
"I still feel sorry for K.Rool though." Luigi said. "He gave up his heart just to get power, and that is simply wrong."
Yoshi was licking Sora's face trying to wake him up.
"Sora! Sora!" Yoshi cried. "Wake up!"
A scroll then floated down from the sky and Luigi grabs it.
"Another scroll, think I better read it this time." Luigi said un rolling it. "Now let's see; Though you are down and the scars you may feel, shall be gone with the power to heal." Luigi's P 3000 began glowing and a green wave appeared around Sora causing Yoshi to jump back. The green light then disappeared and Sora sat up rubbing his head. Yoshi ran into Sora's arm and licked him.
"Hey!" Sora laughed. "It's okay Yoshi, I'm fine now!" Sora put Yoshi down and stood up looking over himself. "I feel so much better, but how?"
"We've just learned a Cure spell." Luigi said to Sora. "Whenever an ally is injured, Cure can recover that person inside and out. So, I guess it all worked out and you're healed now because of me."
"Thanks." Sora smiled to Luigi. He then turned to the others "What happened to K.Rool?" Everyone explained to Sora what happened. "So was he controlling the heartless or were they controlling him?"
"We'll probably never know, but I do respect you young man." Cranky said walking up to Sora. "You saved Kongo Bongo from the Kremling crew, so now we can live in piece."
"Yep, I would never leave this place no matter what because it's home." DK smiled. He then turned to notice Diddy having tears coming out of his eyes. "What's wrong little buddy?"
"Dixie's gone." Diddy sniffled. "I should have protected her, but instead those things got her."
"Sorry, Diddy." Yoshi said softly.
"I'm sure they haven't gotten too far." Sora said. "When we leave this world, we'll keep our eyes open for her."
"You'd do that?" Diddy asked hopefully.
"Sure." Sora smiled. "If wasn't for you guys rescuing me earlier, I would have been shark bait."
Just then, the crystal coconut began glowing and floated out of the cave.
"Where coconut go?" Yoshi asked.
"Quick!" Cranky yelled. "After it!"
The group chased after the coconut through the jungle until they arrived at a small stone temple where the coconut entered. Sora began to walk in but DK stopped him.
"Hey, we have to get it!" Sora said to DK.
"Be careful Sora. That's the temple of Inca Dinka Doo." DK said. "He could cause a curse if you're not careful."
"We'll be careful." Sora nodded.
The gang entered the temple and got to a rectangular room where it was glowing in the middle from the coconut.
"Where's Inca Dinka Doo?" Diddy asked nervously. Everyone could then hear snoring.
"What that?" Yoshi asked nervously.
Everyone turned to see a stone statue making snoring sounds.
"He's asleep!" DK shouted. Everyone else went shh at him. "What did I say?"
Just then the wall began glowing. DK walked up to it and the others followed.
"What's up, DK?" Diddy asked.
"I know where Sora's friends are." DK said
"You do?" Sora asked with hope.
"Well...sort...of." DK said with a glum look. "You can see your friends are inside your heart, no matter where you go, you can always find them. It's in all of us."
"Oh." Sora said in disappointment. "So that's what you meant."
"People who are good and have friends have the same heart. K.Rool lost his heart because he had no friends and gave up his life." DK explained. "What I figure is, if you have no heart, you can't see your friends, and if you don't have a heart, you don't have any friends."
"Two smart things said in one day." Cranky though with a smile. "I may be mean to that kid, but he will always be my favorite grandson because I love him."
Sora and Luigi turned to each other.
"Um, Luigi?" Sora said rubbing is head and bending down to Luigi.
"Yeah, kid." Luigi said rubbing his head too.
"I'm sorry about earlier, I over reacted." Sora apologized
"I'm sorry for the mean things I said too." Luigi apologized as well.
Yoshi jumped in and put his arms around Sora and Luigi.
"Yoshi! All for one and one for all, right?" Yoshi cheered.
The wall then began glowing and Sora walked up to it. The light on the wall slowly dimmed out and revealed a keyhole on the wall.
"Is that, a keyhole?" Luigi asked Sora.
"Weird, you usually find those things on a door." Sora said in confusion. Then the unexpected happened, the keyblade appeared in Sora's hand and fired a beam at the keyhole which caused it to disappear, making a locking noise and dropping a piece of the Toad Express.
Luigi and Yoshi both observed it.
"It's a piece for the Toad Express." Luigi said sadly.
"But it not Mario's." Yoshi sighed sadly.
"What just happened?" Sora asked.
"Beats me." Diddy shrugged.
"But I'll hang onto this piece." Luigi said putting the block in his pocket. He then looked down to notice a female chimp rubbing him "Huh?"
"Well, well." Candy giggled. "Someone has got a new admirer."
"W-what?" Luigi stuttered. He then looked down at the chimp and then panicked. "No way! Daisy would kill me!" Luigi ran out of the temple as the chimp chased him. Everyone else started laughing and they all followed.
Back at the dark lair with the monitor, a group of villains were looking at our heros.
"What happened?" Ganondorf asked Bowser. "Surely, that darn dumb travel baggage could have finished them off."
"Yes." Bowser nodded. "However, K.Rool's lust for power got the best of him. In the end it was his own carelessness and misused of that power that caused his own downfall."
"Yeah!" Dedede laughed. "He and those dumbbells of his got chomped instead."
"I give this guy power and he misused it." Bowser growled. "What an idiot! What's this world coming too?"
"Don't you get it?" Ganondorf groaned to Bowser. "A weak-hearted fool like him would have never stood a chance against the heartless. But that meddling child with the key is another story, he also found one of the keyholes. If he keeps finding them-"
"Do I look worried?" Bowser interrupted with a snap. "Just relax man, it will take that punk a million years to find them all. Besides, he's unaware of our other plans so that I..er...I mean we can rule all worlds."
"The princesses?" Eggman asked.
"Very good my mentally challenged friend." Bowser laughed. "Did you figure that out all by yourself, or did you need your mommy to help you?"
"You! How dare you challenge my scientific knowledge!" Eggman yelled at Bowser. "I shall come over there and destroy you!"
"Ooh, I'm so scared." Bowser whimpered sarcastically. "What are you going to do? Attack me with your periodic chart, or that thing you call a stomach." Bowser then broke into laughter.
"That's it!" Eggman screamed. Eggman tried to attack but Ganondorf uses his powers to hold Eggman back.
"We should maybe get back down to our business gentleman."Black Shadow said to Bowser and Eggman.
"Yes, so bring in our captive princess now!" Bowser smiled sinisterly.
Just then the water creature with the paint brush from the Isle Delfino chapter walked in pulling a chain with Dixie tied up.
"Help! Help!" Dixie cried. "Diddy, Donkey Kong! Help!"
"Would someone shut her up?" Bowser growled rolling his eyes. Ganondorf chanted something in a strange language causing Dixie to glow and she then fainted. "Take her away!"
The creature pulled on Dixie taking her away.
Back at Cranky's lab everyone (including Funky Kong) spent most of the time cleaning up the mess that was made in there. A few hours have passed and the place was then cleaned up. Sora and his friends got ready to go.
"So you're leaving?" DK asked disappointed.
"Afraid so." Sora said with a smile. "But we will always remember you guys."
"Where's your ship anyway?" Candy asked Luigi.
"Not sure, but I think Sora knows." Luigi said turning to Sora.
"Funky, can you take us back to our plane?" Sora asked Funky. "I'll show you the way."
"Hey dudes! Anything for a couple of pals and it's on the house." Funky said.
"Please find Dixie." Diddy said sadly.
"Diddy no worry." Yoshi smiled. "Yoshi, Sora, and Luigi find Dixie."
Diddy just smiled. "Thanks."
DK shook Sora's hand.
"Sora, thank you for everything." DK said. "You and me will always be pals."
"And good luck being the ruler of this world." Sora said. As they released their hands Sora could see a banana keychain in his hand. "What's this?"
"A keychain?" Luigi asked in confusion.
"I found it one day and it looked like it's used for your keyblade." DK said. "I call it the Banana Slammer keychain."
"Put keychain on keyblade and see what happens." Yoshi told Sora.
Sora put the keychain on his keyblade and it transformed into a longer keyblade with a yellow banana color.
"Wow!" Sora gasped. "My keyblade! It changed!"
"Apparently, when ever you equipped a keychain to the keyblade, it changes and it makes you stronger." Luigi guessed.
"Well, I guess it could come in handy for later." Sora smiled. "Let's go!"
The group said their good-byes and boarded Funky's plane. After a few minutes of flying the group arrived back at the Toad Express. They got greeted by Toadsworth.
"Master Sora, Master Luigi and Yoshi." Toadsworth said happily. "Thank goodness you three are okay. I saw everything that happened."
"If it wasn't for Donkey Kong we would have been heartless food." Luigi chuckled.
"Good. Let's leave this world." Toadsworth said.
The group said good-bye to Funky and boarded the plane. The plane took off into space. Ten minutes later, Sora, Luigi and Yoshi were discussing the Toad Express piece they found.
"It doesn't look like a normal piece of the ship." Luigi stated observing the piece. "It looks different."
"What could it be used for?" Sora asked.
"Yoshi think Leon will know." Yoshi said.
"Maybe. Let's go back to Delfino Island and check." Sora announced.
"We might have to stop by another world first, so let's worry about that after." Toadsworth said.
"Okay. I'm going to ask the pilot if I could drive the ship." Sora said standing up
"What? Oh, no, you don't!" Luigi snapped. "After last time? Forget it!"
"Come on, I'm the keyblade master!" Sora whined at Luigi.
"I don't care if you're the King and Queen of cheese, I still won't let you drive!" Luigi argued.
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Don't pull a Bugs Bunny on me!"
"I wasn't!"
"Was too!"
"Was not!"
"Was too!"
Yoshi just looked out the window, put his chin on his hand and rolled his eyes. "Not again."
And it continued on and on...
