Disclaimer: I do not own the characters of either Dragon Ball Super or Kong: Skull Island nor the song in this chapter, only how the story goes. Dragon Ball Super belongs to Akira Toriyama and Kong: Skull Island belongs to Legendary Studios. I apologize for any errors in grammar and/or if I was not accurate in reference to something.
A/N: And here the battle concludes, with a few good twists and turns to boot. Side note, I'm still a little surprised that no one has talked about the Easter Egg that I put in a few chapters ago. I thought that someone would talk about it by now.

Chapter Nineteen: Fixing History
From their ship not too far from the battle, Geras could see that it was about to get a lot more intense. But he was a more occupied when Android 17 jumped into the air and fired a few spheres of energy at him. Geras was able to keep at least two steps ahead of the attacks as a part of the ship was incinerated with each blast. Geras ducked around the corner of the ship and a sphere of energy flew right past before exploding in the water. Chapman was doing his best to find the right advantage point to sneak up on Geras, but the observer kept moving when 17 kept attacking.
Over with the other battle, Broly and Kong were rushing forward to confront the two Skullcrawlers. The Legendary Skullcrawler blocked a punch from Broly when the Saiyan launched his fist at it and the two slid back from each other. Kong brought a conjoined fist down on the Big Skullcrawler, causing it to hiss in pain from the blow. But it was quick to retaliate by spinning around and swatting Kong in the head with its tail. Kong stumbled back from the blow and kicked his foe away. Broly and the Legendary Skullcrawler were going at it with heavy blows. While one lashed out with a fist or a foot, the other would block the attack before throwing out their own.
From up on their ridge, Cheelai and Weaver looked between the battles. They could both tell that they were getting crazier by the second. Weaver looked to Cheelai and said, "Whatever your plan is, you might want to do it soon."
"I know." Cheelai said while her eyes flickered between the fighting.
(Cue Will they Fuse?! track from DBS Broly)
Down below on the escape boat, Marlow was still fiddling with the boat's machine guns but his attempts didn't seem to work at the moment. Marlow groaned in frustration and turned to Brooks and Conrad for help. The two quickly moved forward to help out.
The Big Skullcrawler jumped at Kong and was able to wrap its tail around the Ape Titan while its arms were preoccupied by Kong's hands. The Legendary Skullcrawler swatted Broly away with its tail and the Saiyan crashed into a rock formation. Then turning, the clone saw that the normal Skullcrawler was still having difficulty against Kong and quickly moved to intercept. Kong threw the Big Skullcrawler off of him, but was tackled into from behind. Kong looked behind him to see the clone standing over him. The clone Skullcrawler tapped into its power and the hair extensions on its head started turning yellow. Kong's eyes widened when he witnessed the Skullcrawler's power greatly increase and its hair turning yellow.
From on the wall, Broly's eyes snapped open when he felt the Legendary Skullcrawler go super. Ripping himself from the rock, Broly quickly flew to Kong's aid.
Kong himself glared at the clone standing over him and the Legendary Skullcrawler opened its jaws wide. A green glow came from the back of the monster's throat and Kong began to think that this was the end. But just as the Legendary Skullcrawler was about to fire, Cheelai fired the last flare at it. The flare landed on the spot that acted as the Big Skullcrawler's nose, making all three beasts look at it with odd looks. The flare exploded in the Big Skullcrawler's nose and some of the explosion caused the Legendary Skullcrawler to cry out in pain.
From the boat, Marlow, Brooks and Conrad were able to get the machine guns working again. Marlow closed the clip and said, "Clear."
"Clear." The two agreed. They looked up just as the two Skullcrawlers were screeching out in pain. Conrad then said, "All right, fellas. Open fire!"
"Copy that." The soldiers and Lemo said before shooting at the two Skullcrawlers. Marlow let loose with the boat's machine guns as well. Both Skullcrawlers roared in pain as the onslaught of bullets hit them. Suddenly, Broly appeared between them and Kong before using an energy wave to push them back. Both Skullcrawlers hissed as they were able to keep themselves up right.
(End of track)
On the other boat, Android 17 was unleashing a continuous wave of energy that Geras was blocking with his shield. And the longer that the barrier was between him and the blast, the more that it became glass. Chapman was taking the opportunity to sneak up on Geras from behind. Removing a few grenades from his belt, Jack tied them together. Chapman knew what he was doing as he finished tying them and then went to make his move. He climbed up a flight of stairs to another level of the ship. Chapman quietly glanced over the railing and watched as Geras reinforced the barrier every time that there was a break. The soldier knew that would be his window and he would take it.
17 broke his attack off before unleashing another Photon Wave attack. Geras created a Sand Barrier between him and the blast. 17 was concentrating on his attack so closely that he nearly didn't see Chapman give him a signal. Knowing that the soldier would make his move, 17 decided to get Geras to drop his guard. 17 broke off the attack once more and made it look like he was about to fire one more time. Geras noticed this and erected a barrier not only in front of him, but created one around Android 17 as well. While 17 was a little nervous about it, Chapman quickly jumped down from the upper level and landed right behind Geras. The observer glanced behind him just as Chapman made his move. He tied the grenades around the construct's neck while pulling the pins out. Geras quickly acted by creating spikes of sand that jutted out from his back. Jack gasped as he was run through and 17's eyes widened to this. The observer turned to Chapman as the soldier fell onto his back. With a shake of his head, Geras then said, "Alas, Jack Chapman, you once again have died on this island."
"At least he died with honor." 17 said as he rushed up behind the observer. Leaping towards the wall on their left, 17 used a Barrier Punch to disorient their foe. Geras stumbled back and 17 followed up with a roundhouse kick that knocked Geras through the railing. Geras barely had time to react when the grenades went off and exploded, turning him into a broken mess of bloody parts.
17 looked over the railing just as the bits and pieces of Geras fell into the water. He turned back to Chapman who was breathing heavily. The soldier had received several puncture wounds from the spikes, some looking like they hit vital areas. Kneeling down beside him, 17 said, "Don't worry, Chapman. You're going to be okay."
"Thanks, man." Chapman said as he took deep breaths. But with a shake of his head, he said, "But it's feeling pretty bad."
"I'm sorry." 17 said, wishing that he could do more for the honorable soldier. Chapman then asked, "Think we'll be able to watch our friends win this fight?"
"I'll make it so." 17 said as he carefully raised Chapman from the deck of the ship. Rising into the air, 17 carefully took his passenger to where he last saw the escape boat. And as they went by, 17 and Chapman could see that the real battle was about to begin.
Broly and Kong hadn't made another move against the two Skullcrawlers yet. Broly glanced to Kong and looked to the Ape Titan with a look that said let's-finish-this. Kong nodded to the Saiyan and looked to the two monsters.
(Cue Broly vs Gogeta track from DBS Broly w/ a few twists)
Broly started to gather his own energy before letting out a yell and his power exploded. Broly's hair once again stood straight, turned yellow and he had his eyes closed. He opened them to reveal black pupils with teal irises.
Super Broly!
Kong started pounding his chest and gave a loud roar. He growled when he clenched his fists.
Kong!
The Legendary Skullcrawler let its power explode and a green aura ignited around it. It glared as it was prepared to fulfill its mission.
Legendary Skullcrawler!
The Big Skullcrawler let out a loud screech as it snapped its tail in a whip like fashion. The Big Skullcrawler wanted nothing more than to wipe out the last of Kong's family.
Big Skullcrawler!
The two sides rushed forward to each other and Broly pulled ahead while the Legendary Skullcrawler launched itself forward and flew like a rocket. The Legendary Skullcrawler opened its maw wide and unleashed a Gigantic Breath beam. Broly created a Powered Shell around himself and it caused the beams to diverge and slash through a few rock formations. Broly then manipulated his shield into smaller spheres of energy before launching them at the two with a yell.
Go, Go Legendary Skullcrawler!
Go, Go, Big Skullcrawler!
Go, Go Legendary Skullcrawler!
Come on Big Skullcrawler!
The Legendary Skullcrawler was able to create a shield around itself and blocked most of the spheres from hitting it or its ally behind him. Broly got behind the clone and unleashed an Eraser Blow by bringing his hands forward and unleashed a beam of energy. The beam knocked the screeching Skullcrawler off its feet while Kong used it as a springboard to jump up into the air. The Ape Titan sailed over Broly and came down with both fists against the Big Skullcrawler's head. The Big One screeched as it fell into the water and Kong kicked it away.
Super Broly

The Legendary Skullcrawler jumped out of the way when Broly fired an Eraser Cannon at it and followed up with an energy wave with a swing of its tail. Super Saiyan Broly clapped his hands together just when the energy wave was upon him and it dispersed the incoming attack. Broly glared at the clone before holding both hands forward and launching several orbs of energy at it. The Legendary Skullcrawler jumped out of the way of each orb before using its tail to splash water at Broly. Broly shielded himself from the wall of water and gasped when the Legendary Skullcrawler had its jaws wide once again. Broly acted quickly and fired an Eraser Cannon from his chest. The attack not only blasted Broly back from the Legendary Skullcrawler but it caused the monster to gag from the attack.
Go, Go Legendary Skullcrawler!
Go, Go Big Skullcrawler!
Go, Go Legendary Skullcrawler!
Come on Big Skullcrawler!
Kong slams his fists repeatedly on the Big Skullcrawler and it retaliates by grabbing a fist with one of its feet and jumped up before punching Kong in the face. Kong fell into the water but was quick to act by kicking the Big Skullcrawler in the face. Then rising up, Kong clasps his hands together before smacking them into the Big Skullcrawler's chin. It hissed as it fell backwards in the water.
Ha!
Ha!
Ha!
Ha!
The Legendary Skullcrawler swatted Super Broly away and he crashed into the waters behind Kong. The Ape Titan glanced back to the Saiyan while Broly stood back up. The Saiyan tapped into his power and let out a yell and his aura flared.
Super Broly
Kong
Super Broly
Kong
Both the Legendary Skullcrawler and the Big Skullcrawler leapt at the two. Broly disappeared from his spot before reappearing a few feet from the clone. Time seemed to slow down as Broly hit it with a single sphere of energy to the face. It knocked the clone away but Kong quickly grabbed it by the tail before swinging it right into the Big Skullcrawler just when it got close. The two monsters tumbled away before the clone rose to its feet and unleashed another Gigantic Breath attack. Broly moved in front of Kong and once again created a Power Shell to protect him and Kong. But the Legendary Skullcrawler put a lot of power into this attack and it pushed Broly into Kong. Kong fell down and Broly's shield fell apart on him. The Saiyan landed against Kong's stomach before shakily rising back onto his feet.

Ge-Ha-Yeah!

Both sides let out roars, yells or screeches before charging at the other. Broly drew his hands back and used a Gigantic Full Blast. The spheres in his hands turned into energy waves when he waved his arms forward and disoriented the two. The two Skullcrawlers braced themselves for the waves of water but weren't prepared when Kong ran forward and clotheslined the two.
Both Skullcrawlers rose back onto their feet while Kong turned around to face them. The two monsters then leapt forward and the Big One was able to wrap its tail around Kong's waist while Broly came in with a Gigantic Charge. Knowing that Kong was more than capable to handle himself as Kong was able to wrestle the Big One off of him, Broly moved to fight the clone. Kong pounded his fists against the Big Skullcrawler and it was able to shove him away. Kong kept himself from falling and raised his arms to defend himself when the Big One came at him once more.
Broly was able to stop a claw swipe from the clone before shoving the beasts hand away. A green light quickly formed around Broly's body before shrinking into his left palm and became like a gleaming star. Charging the attack a little longer, Broly then launched an Omega Blaster at his foe. The Legendary Skullcrawler used a Super Explosive Wave to dispel the attack. When the beam stopped, the Legendary Skullcrawler charged forward as did the Big One towards Kong. Broly and Kong happened to glance back to each other before an idea formed in their heads. They quickly swapped opponents with Kong lashing a fist at the Legendary Skullcrawler and Broly flew towards the Big One with a Wrathful Charge and the blast sent the Big One flying backwards. The Big Skullcrawler smacked into a rock formation and slid down into the waters. Seeing that it was down for the moment, Broly turned and fired an Eraser Cannon at the clone just as it was starting to get back up. The blast knocked it away from Kongand Broly turned while coming in with a kick to the Big Skullcrawler when it rushed at him.
Brolio
Brolio
Brolio
Ge-Ha-Yeah!
(2x)
Kong turned to see the Legendary Skullcrawler getting back on its feet and it rushed at him. Kong ran for a nearby rock formation and climbed up it, narrowly avoiding the clone's jaws when they snapped at his heels. Kong dropped down and landed behind the clone. The Legendary Skullcrawler whipped its tail and it smacked Kong in the face. The Ape Titan leapt out of the way when the clone blasted at him with energy spheres from its mouth. The energy spheres created domes of energy that destroyed what they touched. Kong quickly picked up a rock before hurling it at the clone. The Legendary Skullcrawler braced itself just as the rock collided against it.

Ge-Ha-Yeah!
The Big One had slammed it giant hand against Broly and it sent him flying backwards. He stopped in the air and found himself side by side with Kong once more. The two former enemies looked to each other before nodding with a small smirk.
\_|_/
"Broly and Kong are doing really good, huh?" Cheelai asked as they were able to observe the fight from behind cover. The girls were fortunate enough that the attacks from either Broly or the Legendary Skullcrawler came their way. Weaver nodded and said, "Yeah. They are."
She gazed out to where the battle had been taking place, "Too bad the island is suffering from this fight."
Cheelai looked to where she was looking and her eyes widened to what she saw. Where the blasts had landed, either burnt up trees, cut rock and water refilling some spots. Cheelai then said, "We need to end this before it goes on too far."
"I think that we're far past that, don't you think?" Weaver questioned. Cheelai just looked to her with a glance before opening the pouch on her side. She pulled out a vile of purple liquid. Weaver's eyes narrowed and asked, "What is that?"
"Broly's infected blood." Cheelai simply stated as she looked at the contents of the vial. Weaver then questioned, "Where and why did you get that?"
"From the future." Cheelai answered the first part. She looked to her friend and said, "And because I thought it odd when I saw it." But a grin formed on her face and she said, "But it might just come in handy."
"What do you mean?" Weaver asked. Cheelai then said, "The blood in this vial is still glowing from that weird poison, so it's still active. And if it can do harm to Broly-"
"Then maybe it can hurt the thing that gave it to him." Weaver finished. Cheelai nodded and said, "But first, we need to figure a way to administer the stuff and wait for the right moment."
"I think I have an idea." Weaver said as she took the vial away from Cheelai. She kneeled down and started to get to work. Reaching into her back pocket, Weaver pulled out an extra flare. Cheelai asked, "I thought that you only had two?"
"Only the ones that came with this gun." Weaver said as she continued working. She didn't take her eyes off of it when she said, "But luckily, Marlow had a few lying around on the boat."
\_|_/
Broly had created a large energy dome around him and Kong to protect them when the two Skullcrawlers jumped at them. With a yell, he expanded the barrier that pushed the two enemy Titans away.
\_|_/
From their spot on the boat, the group was barely able to keep out of the way when the four began their battle. Slivko looked up and said, "Here comes 17 and Chapman!"
They looked up to see the Android dropping down while still holding the soldier. 17 touched down on the deck of the boat and set the injured soldier down. Mills kneeled down and said, "Oh, man, Chapman. You look like horrible."
"Feel that way too." Chapman said as 17 and Reles propped the injured soldier against the side of the escape boat. They all became shocked when a sudden explosion rocked the boat. They all looked up just as Broly and the Legendary Skullcrawler fired green beams of energy at the other. The struggle ended when the collision exploded.
(End of track)
Both sides were thrown back into the water with a splash by the blast. But Kong, Broly and the two Skullcrawlers didn't stay down for long. The Legendary Skullcrawler was about to attack once again when suddenly, a volley of arrows came down on the two. Broly, Kong, the girls and those on the boat looked to the water ways further inland to see a fleet of boats coming from the river. The warriors of the Iwis continued to launch volleys of arrows at the two monsters. The arrows were able to pierce the softer parts of the two Skullcrawlers, but they didn't do that much damage.
The two Skullcrawlers screeched and when they moved it caused the arrows to fall from their bodies. They moved to attack the Iwis, but the men of the island remained calm and lowered their bows. Broly moved to intercept, but Kong knew that he wouldn't make it in time to help. He quickly glanced around and saw a chain attached to the propeller of one of the boats that had him pinned earlier. Grabbing the chain, Kong gave it a good yank that tore the propeller from the ship.
(Cue Full-Force Kamehameha track from DBS Broly)
Broly quickly appeared between the Iwis and a Gigantic Breath attack when the Legendary Skullcrawler fired it. The Super Saiyan created a barrier between him and the people of the island to protect them. But since the clone's mouth was still open, Weaver handed the flare gun back to Cheelai. She quickly took aim and cocked the hammer into place. Cheelai then aimed it at the Legendary Skullcrawler just when its attack faded. She fired and the flare went flying at it. The beam stopped just the flare hit the Legendary Skullcrawler's tooth on the far side of its mouth. Both it and the Big One were a little surprised by the glow coming from inside the clone's mouth. The flare exploded and it made the Legendary Skullcrawler cough up a storm.
The Big Skullcrawler backed away from the clone as it continued hacking. Kong threw the chained propeller forward before yanking it back. Then running forward with a final throw, time seemed to slow down as it hurled towards the Big One. It sped up when the spinning propeller hit the Big Skullcrawler in the left shoulder, causing it to shriek in pain from the rusted metal cutting into its flesh. Kong yanked the screeching Big One away from the clone. While the Iwis, soldiers and Conrad watched Kong take on the Big One, Broly, Lemo and the girls kept their eyes on the Legendary Skullcrawler.
The clone finally stopped coughing before hunching over and giving a roar as its power started to rise again. Broly let out a yell and let his aura flare to show that he was still willing to fight. The two rushed forward and Broly used Gigantic Charge while the Legendary Skullcrawler formed a Powered Shell around itself. Super Saiyan Broly put all the energy he could into a single punch and threw his fist forward. The empowered fist collided with the barrier of energy and caused a small explosion that sent the two flying backwards.
Kong pulled the Big One up to him before trying to use the chain to strangle his parent's murderer. But the Big Skullcrawler wasn't willing to go down so easily as it continued to thrash about. It was enough to cause both Titan to fall into the water and without Kong's grip on the chains, the Big One tried to fight the Ape Titan away. Kong was able to avoid the enemy monster's claws and clamp one hand over the Skullcrawler's muzzle before grabbing the propeller and yanking it out. The Big Skullcrawler cried out in pain from the harsh removal of the propellor and Kong used it to bash the enemy's head. The Big Skullcrawler backed away with a shriek while Kong held the propeller at the ready. When it came at him, Kong slashed the propeller blades in an upper cut fashion, slicing through the Big Skullcrawler's throat. It gave a pain screech as its blood flew through the air. It landed in the water and didn't get back up. Kong waited a moment to see if his old enemy was still alive, but when it didn't, Kong turned to the other battle.
Broly shakily rose to his feet as did the Legendary Skullcrawler. But when the clone took a step towards the Super Saiyan, it stopped as it could feel that something was wrong. It could feel its power start feeling oddly. It hunched over again and its power erratically fluctuated. With it distracted, Broly came in with a heavy punch to the beast's face and knocked it back. The Legendary Skullcrawler stumbled back but ran into Kong's fist when he uppercuts the clone. Then grabbing the clone by the tail, and spun around before throwing it towards one of the rock formations. Unfortunately, it was the rock formation that Weaver and Cheelai were standing on. They cried out when the impact from the Legendary Skullcrawler caused them to fall backwards from a sheer drop. Broly, Kong and Conrad's eyes grew with worry as the tracker shouted, "Weaver!"
"Cheelai!" Lemo called out from the boat. Conrad and Lemo jumped off the boat to go and help the girls. Said girls landed in a water way, but had been knocked unconscious during the fall. They started to sink deeper into the waters as help would take a moment or two.
Kong and Broly's attention was brought back to the Legendary Skullcrawler when it got up and ran right at them. Broly's brows furrowed as he became angry at this obstacle that stood between him and his friends. With a yell from Super Saiyan Broly and a roar from Kong, they ran forward before the two lashed a punch forward. The two fists collided on both sides of the Skullcrawler's face and caused fractures to appear. The two allies followed up with an uppercut that made the clone tumble onto its back. With an angry snort, Kong grabbed it by the tail once more and started to swing it around and around. When he let go, Kong hurled the Legendary Skullcrawler up into the air. Broly then took the opportunity to power up another attack. The air took on a green hue as Broly charged his energy before gathering it in his palm. A bright green sphere of energy formed in his hand and Broly flung the sphere at the clone. The clone saw the attack coming and created a Powered Shell that caught the attack and held it there. Broly then held his hand forward and fired a large green energy beam to complete the Omega Blaster attack. The beam collided against Broly's energy sphere and started to push the clone back. With a roar of his own, Super Saiyan Broly put more power into his blast. The intensity of both the beam and the sphere of energy caused the monster's defenses to crack under pressure, quite literally.
The Legendary Skullcrawler's eyes widened when it felt is power starting to act odd again. It released a roar as its hair turned back to black and its power faded. Without the Super Saiyan energy active, the Legendary Skullcrawler's shield broke apart and the Omega Blaster collided against the monster. It gave one final shriek as the blast completely destroyed it forever. The beam continued to fly through the air and obliterated a satellite in orbit before continuing through space.
(End of track)
Broly's Super Saiyan state faded as his hair and eyes turned black again. He turned to see Kong making his way around the rock formation. The Saiyan then remembered Cheelai and Weaver. He flew down to help out if he could.
Kong dipped his hand in the water and began to feel around for the girls. When his hand brushed against them, he carefully brought them out of the water. Broly floated down next to Kong to see if his friends were all right. Though he could feel their energies, Broly saw that they weren't moving. Kong looked to the Saiyan with a worried look. But before they could fully worry about the girls, the Big Skullcrawler tackled Kong from behind. Broly became worried when the girls flew out of the Ape Titan's hand. Broly quickly flew in and grabbed them as they fell. He made sure to stay well enough from the continuing battle as Kong battled his parent's killer.
The Big One moved to try and finish Kong off by placing its large claws against his throat. But the protector of the island wasn't having any of that. Kong slammed his head against the Big Skullcrawler's head, causing it to cringe in pain. But it gave Kong the opportunity to elbow his foe in the chest, knocking a little wind out of the Skullcrawler. Then quickly acting, Kong grabbed both sides of his parent's killer's skull. The Big One tried to fight out of Kong's grip, but Kong was determined to not let the murderer hurt anyone else. With a quick movement of his hands, Kong broke the Big Skullcrawler's neck and a silent gasp escaped it.
(Cue King Kong track from Kong: Skull Island)
Kong let the body fall to the ground and he took in a deep breath. Not only did he feel as if he finally got a little closure, but know it felt like a weight had been taken off his shoulders. Kong turned to Broly as the Saiyan descended to the ground. Setting the girls down, Broly and Kong both looked over them to see if they would stir. They saw their eyes twitch a little and Kong stood back up to take his leave. Broly watched as the Ape Titan walked off when the sound of running came to him. He looked behind him to see Conrad and Lemo running up to them. Lemo asked, "Are they okay?"
"They're alive." Broly reassured them. Conrad kneeled down next to Weaver and lightly shook her, "Weaver? Weaver. Wake up."
"Come on, Cheelai." Lemo said as he did the same. Both girls' eyes shot open and they both started coughing up water. Broly, Lemo and Conrad helped the girls to sit up as they continued coughing. Broly and Lemo hugged Cheelai while Weaver wrapped her arms around Conrad. The tracker reassured her, "It's okay. You're gonna be okay."
They all turned to Kong as he continued walking. Kong stopped in his tracks and looked to the five. He looked over each of them before stopping at Broly. The Titan and the Saiyan both looked to each other, never breaking eye contact. Broly then nodded and Kong returned it before continuing on his way.
The five rose to their feet while watching the Titan go. When he had disappeared behind some rocks, the escape boat drifted down the water way. Conrad looked to the four and said, "Let's go home."
"Home." Broly said as he began to think about what he considered to his. He looked between Lemo and Cheelai before wrapping his arms around them. The two laughed at this.
They all boarded onto the boat and looked to see that Android 17 Mills, Slivko and Reles were gathered around the injured Jack Chapman. But by the look on the soldier's face, he had passed on. Weaver and Cheelai walked up to them and the former said, "I'm sorry for your loss."
"He was a good soldier." Mills said with a nod, thinking of his sacrifice. He continued nodding, thinking of all his friends and said, "They all were."
"Look." Broly said, earning everyone's attention. They all looked to see the Iwis' boats had drifted closely to theirs. Though the islanders didn't say anything, the group basically knew that they were thanking them for all they had done. Marlow nodded and said, "Anytime, fellas."
"We thank you." Broly said. The Iwis all bowed their heads, honoring the one they foresaw coming. The islanders didn't stay much longer and turned to head back to the village.
Soon, the escape boat was heading north once more and neared the ocean. Mills, Reles and Slivko attended to Chapman's body to take back. Broly, Cheelai and Lemo stood at the bow to keep a look out. Marlow looked over a few treasures from way back when while 17 steered the escape boat. Conrad stood on one side of the boat while Weaver leaned against a support. And Brooks, San and Steve stood near the back going over something.
When they were finished treating Chapman's wounds for later on when they got back, the three remaining soldiers stood next to Chapman. Mills held the letters to Chapman's son. They were all thinking about all the good people that they had lost during this trip. Mills asked them, "So what do you think, fellas? This way to Key West?"
"I really think it is, brother." Slivko said with a grin while Reles nodded. Conrad looked between all of them and said, "This place will go through changes."
"But hopefully for the better." Broly said as the three came from the bow. Brooks, San and Steve joined as well. Weaver then asked, "Is the island known to the future?"
"Yes and no." Was the best way to answer the question. It didn't clear much up and she explained, "All I know is that Skull Island is known in the future and Monarch has a role with it, but I don't know much."
"But when you do get there," Lemo started to ask the scientists, "try not to do too much to the island."
"You have my word that I'll try." Brooks promised. San then said, "We'll need to run it by the rest of Monarch's leaders. But I think we can make it happen."
"And we won't let the public know about." Weaver promised. With a shake of her head she said, "The world isn't ready to know about this place yet."
"That's good to hear." Cheelai said. Brooks then asked, "So when do you have to go back?"
"Since Kong is safe, history is no doubt somewhat restored." 17 said as he continued to steer the boat. Then he said, "We'll leave as soon as we get back to the States."
"But not before getting someone home." Broly said, glancing to someone who has been away from home for too long. Marlow looked up to the Saiyan with a grateful face. Then looking back down at the stuff in his hands, Marlow started singing…
Marlow: We'll meet again
Don't know where, don't know when
I how I know we'll meet again on some sunny day
The song continued to play over the radio and Weaver raised her camera to take a few more pictures of this adventure. She captured one of everyone of the boat. The soldiers all moved to where they could sit by Chapman while Weaver, Conrad, Broly, Lemo and Cheelai moved to the bow of the boat. The sound of helicopters made them all look up to see three coming right at them. The entire group breathed a sigh of relief as their Skull Island adventure was drawing to a close. Broly then sensed a presence behind them and glanced back just as a flock of island birds flew by.
Everyone else saw that Broly was looking back and looked to a spot between two rock formations. A familiar shape came out from behind one of them. Kong moved to where he could see the group leave. Even from his spot, Kong and Broly locked eyes with a newfound respect for the other. Kong then started pounding his chest and roared while Broly just gave a grin.
