Twisted

Disclaimer: I do not own Kong, or any of the characters. Plain and Simple.

Quick Summary: My version of the newest movie with a couple twists.

Author's Note: This chapter is going to seem short, but the next chapter is going to be big, and if I had kept typing and finished the whole scene this chapter would have been 3,000 words easily, which is the length of a short story. I will update as soon as I can to make up for this! I promise!

Chapter Three: Go Save the Lovely Lady, Jimmy!

Alex gritted her teeth; stupid natives--now they were going to see a side of Alex Englehorn that nobody had seen in a long time. She looked at Hayes, who sighed and walked down to the hold and to the gun cabinet. Alex walked out past Jack and into the rain. "Okay everybody! We're going back for the fair lady. See Hayes for a gun, and get those boats out into the water." She commanded; loose strands of hair fell down her face with the rain, soaking her from head to toe in a matter of minutes.

Most of the men were soon ready and had clamored into the lifeboats, which had surprisingly gotten a lot of use lately. The rest of the men loaded extra ammo and guns in the boats, and Alex caught a glimpse of Carl putting his camera equipment in one of them. She didn't stop him; he would hopefully learn his lesson someday or another, and if he actually planned on looking for Ann his camera would get smashed anyway.

Dropping the anchor of the Venture, she stepped out of the cabin. "Okay," Alex said, jumping into the nearest boat. "Get us to that island!"

In the distance, everyone could see the flickering lights of a giant fire lighting the small village though the downpour of the rain. The drumming that went along with it was almost intimidating, but with Jack leading them, the soldiers weren't discouraged.

They were too late, though, when they arrived at the giant door inside the wall. Ann Darrow had disappeared; just like the inhabitants of the village. The sun rose about an hour later, drying up the rain and bringing humidity and the smell of the ocean.

Alex could be found handing out extra ammunition and guns outside the door. "You have twenty-four hours," she said. "If you don't come back, we are leaving without you." As much as she would like to go with her men into the giant forests, Alex knew it was her duty to stay behind.

A young man nodded thanks as she handed him a gun; Jimmy. Hayes had seen it too. He yanked the gun out of Jimmy's hands.

"Mr. Hayes!" Jimmy protested, swiping at the gun.

"No, Jimmy. You stay here with the Captain; you're too young to handle a gun."

"You were younger than me when they gave you a gun!"

"I was in the army! I had a drill sergeant!" Hayes shouted.

Jimmy scowled and walked over behind Alex. The sailors walked into the large doors, with Hayes leading. She turned to Jimmy and pushed a gun in his hands.

He looked at her in amazement. "What...?"

Alex took out a hat and shoved it on his head so it went down almost past his ears. "Go, Jimmy,"

"Um... thanks, Captain," he said; his face suddenly split with a grin.

"Go save the lovely lady, Jimmy. Don't make me sorry I did this."

"I won't, ma'am," he nodded eagerly and ran after the other soldiers through the door.

Alex watched as the teenager disappeared; he was like a brother to her, and she was proud of that. "Okay!" Commanded Alex. "Back to the ship!" The remaining sailors took a lifeboat back to the Venture where they stayed until dusk. It was then that she finally gave in to her instincts and went back ashore.

She was just in time too, because as soon as Alex arrived at the gates into the island, she was greeted by Bruce Baxter running at full speed across the bridge.

"Captain!" He shouted; almost stumbling down the steps followed by a few other men.

"Baxter! Where's everybody else?" She demanded with her hands on her hips.

He ran up to her completely out of breath. "Trouble!" He gasped, pointing back across the makeshift bridge into the thick forest.

"Where exactly, Baxter?"

Bruce took a couple of seconds to recover and start breathing regularly again. "I'll take you there, 'cause I'm tellin' you, they need as much help as they can get."

Alex nodded and motioned back to the other men behind her. "Get ready; we're going in." She announced, a smile slowly crossing her face.

Like I said, I'm sorry this chapter is so short! As you might have already guessed, the next scene contains giant insects, and the plot of the story takes a totally different turn than what is in the movie. Don't miss out! Next: Oh Captain, my Captain! Alex Englehorn comes to the rescue! Review Darlings! I need at least ONE review to continue!

Until next time!
