Chapter 5: Snide to The Rescue

(Somewhere else in Kongo Jungle)

Snide's HQ was a portable laboratory that was now placed somewhere in Kongo Jungle. Goombario was operating a machine in the lab as Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, Tiny Kong, Lanky Kong, Chunky Kong, Kiddy Kong, and Chunky Kong teleported after a green flash.

Goombario- I see your teleporter works, Snide.

Snide- And I see you managed to operate it without killing me or the Kong's I just saved by teleporting us back to my HQ instead of somewhere dangerous.

Kiddy Kong- We do appreciate the save, but what are you two doing here?

Goombario- Kyrin sent us after he found out that King Tyrannosaurus was freed from his prison.

Donkey Kong- That damn fire he used…I know I could've beaten him if he didn't magic fire stone to give him those powers.

Snide- Which is why we're going to remove the Fire Spirit Stone from him.

Diddy Kong- Huh…? But the history books said King Tyrannosaurus ate the stone so he could permanently fuse with it.

Snide- Not quite. It's actually in his belly. And if we can get it out, he will lose all that fire power.

Tiny Kong- And who do you propose we do that when his body can literally breathe fire?

Snide- I'm so glad that you asked, Kong.

Snide walks over to a wall safe, enters a code on a keypad, and opens the safe. Inside was a strange green metal sphere and a set of metal gloves.

Lanky Kong- What the hell are those things?

Snipe- This is an X-ray portal. I place it on a solid object, I can reach right through it like the object was never solid to begin with.

Dixie Kong- I see. Place that on King Tyrannosaurus and we can pull out the Fire Spirit Stone from him. But what are those gloves for?

Snide- These are my own temperature resistant thermal gloves. With this, whoever is wearing them can reach into just about any temperature.

Kiddy Kong- I don't get it.

Goombario- Don't you understand? The Fire Spirit Stone's energy has spread to just about every part of King Tyrannosaurus' body. Just coming into contact with one of his scales can give you at least a second-degree burn. Just imagine how much heat and fire in in his stomach where the stone is.

Chunky Kong- Like reaching into an oven?

Goombario- More like the sun! It would be worse than a fourth-degree burn.

Snide- These gloves won't last long, but they should withstand the heat long enough to pull the stone out.

Tiny Kong- If you could remove the stone from King Tyrannosaurus, why not do it when King Kong defeated that T-rex 1,000 years ago?

Goombario- They didn't have the technology to remove it back then…not even the gods and their resources back then. However, they seem to now, especially with Snide's master inventing skills and access to god technology.

Diddy Kong- God technology?

Snide- Goombario and I work for Kyrin. Remember? Since he's the Lord of the Universe's son, we have access to just about whatever Arkness has given Kyrin access to. Well…almost anything. Magolor tried to learn about someone referred to as the God of the Void and the Lord of the Universe approached Magolor and gave him an offer Magolor couldn't refuse to stop trying to learn more about that banished god. Anyway, with the access to god technology I was given, I was able to make this X-ray portal and these gloves.

Snide handed Donkey Kong the X-ray portal.

Snide- This is where I need you, Donkey Kong. You're the only one to get strong enough to get in close to place this over his stomach.

Donkey Kong- And I suppose you want me to grab the stone out as well?

Snide- Of course not. That's my job.

Snide showed that he was wearing the temperature resistant thermal gloves on his hands.

Snide- You didn't think Goombario and I were just gonna sit on the sidelines during this mess?

Dixie Kong- That's sweet of you!

Goombario- Actually, Kyrin told us to join in the fight to assist you, because Snide and I are actually scared to fight these dinosaurs.

Donkey Kong- Regardless, let's kick that T-rex's ass! Wait, the Crystal Coconut…

Snide- About the Crystal Coconut…

Snide pulls out the Crystal Coconut from behind his back.

Snide- We managed to grab this to keep it away from the dinosaurs before coming to your rescue.

Donkey Kong- Please don't take this without permission first!

Donkey Kong took the Crystal Coconut from Snide so suddenly.

Snide (sarcastic tone)- You're welcome for keeping the Crystal Coconut safe!
