"Well, that was embarrassing… we got talked down by a sign." Ruby said.
"A talking sign, no less." Blake added.
"Eh, didn't faze us in the slightest." Banjo shrugged.
"Trust us, you probably wouldn't like hanging around Spiral Mountain." Kazooie said.
"Why's that?"
"Oh, just a hunch. Let's just say you got a taste for it when that sign was talking to us."
"I don't think I want to know…" Sky sweatdropped. "But hey, at least we're here in the right area."
"Yeah. Let's find the bananas and the blueprints in this area." Tiny nodded. "I wonder if we'll find anyone in here?"
Ruby noticed a large glass window, where they spotted two Kremling security guards were looking at several screens. "Oh, that must be where we'll be able to look through the entire facility!"
"Yeah, but how do we get a closer look?" Sky wondered, and then they heard cracking knuckles, and then Donkey Kong punched the glass, shattering it in one punch.
"YIPE!" Both Kremlings yelled.
"I thought you installed Kong Proof windows!"
"I did!" He pulled out a package that was not even opened. "See?"
"…You put in the wrong window, you doofus! That package isn't even open yet!"
"Oooooh… I thought those windows were lighter than usual…"
"That doesn't make sense!"
Donkey Kong grabbed the two Kritters by the throats, banged their heads together and threw them out of the factory, dusting his hands off in the process. "Well, that's one way to get rid of them." Ruby said as they walked up to the computer screens to take a closer look. "Oh! I see Tifa locked up in one of the rooms!" She exclaimed.
"I see Chunky!" Tiny exclaimed.
"Is that it?" Sky took a look around. "Huh, I thought for sure we'd be rescuing more of our friends in this place."
"The cameras are probably not aimed directly at them." Blake mused. "So best case scenario, we get more of our friends out. Worst case scenario, it's just Chunky and Tifa."
"Well, we know where to start!" Ruby grinned. "Come on, let's go!" She said as they nodded and walked out of the security room and ran to one of the rooms, seeing a bunch of Kremlings sitting at a table, playing Poker.
"Ahahaha! I got it!"
"Oh come on! He's cheating, he's obviously cheating!"
"I couldn't agree more!"
"More cash for yours truly!" The Kremling cackled, then he noticed the gang staring at him as the others looked at them. "Do you mind! We're in the middle of a game!"
"Do you know how to find a way around this place? We're lost." Ruby said.
"Why should we tell a small little damsel like you? Get lost! Like we'd ever tell you!"
"Oh yeah? We have something that you don't." Blake smirked.
"Oh really? What do you have that we don't? We have Kremling technology!"
"We have a Donkey Kong."
The four Kremlings paled when they saw Donkey Kong rolling his shoulders with a grin, cracking his knuckles.
"It could be worse." Blake told them. "You could be facing Yang, Tifa and Donkey Kong at the same time."
"Oh! Don't forget Captain Falcon!" Ruby chimed in.
"Right, him too. So, what's it gonna be fellas?"
"Ah… eheheh…" One of the Kritters pulled out a map. "Ooooh, look at this, we have a map!" He said and handed it over. "It's a secret to everyone!"
"Don't worry, we won't tell your boss." Blake said as they walked out, but tossed an Orange Grenade behind her, landing on the table and exploding, causing them all to scream.
"What'd you do that for?" Ruby asked.
"Simple, they would've told their boss we were here and they'd give us more hell in this place."
"Fair enough."
"I think we would've done the same too." Banjo chuckled while Blake opened up the map.
"Okay… let's see… ah, okay! Let's go this way!" Blake ran over to a hallway with everyone following her as they looked up to see a pole, then she climbed up.
"We have to climb up to go up a level?" Ruby asked.
"You have any better ideas? Did you see a staircase?"
"No."
"Then we're climbing." Blake kept climbing while the Kongs climbed immediately, Banjo right after them and then the girls climbed after, then they jumped off onto a ledge and started walking along while Blake was looking through the map. She turned to the left and came into a room where they saw a lever and then a glass window where they saw Funky Kong sitting in a cage, sighing to himself while some Kremlings were going around hauling equipment.
"That's Chunky!" Lanky exclaimed. "He's trapped!"
"Not for long." Blake pulled the lever.
"Hey boss! Where do you want these metal tubes?"
"Put 'em over there!"
The cage opened up and Chunky Kong crushed the Kritter underneath him. "OOOOF! …And where do you want me to put this 10 ton gorilla…? Oooogh…"
"Chunky's free! Hoo hoo!" Chunky jumped up and down excitedly, crushing the poor Kremling underneath.
"Ow! OW! OOOOOW! That's my stomach you're jumping on!"
The window near them shattered as the group jumped out and proceeded to beat up the Kremlings that attempted to run away. Once the Kremlings were KO'd, they walked over to Chunky. "You okay, big guy?" Ruby asked.
"Chunky is okay! Was it you who freed Chunky?"
"Nah, it was Blake."
"Aw, thank you!" Chunky gave Blake a big bear hug. "Thank you!"
"Ack! Y-you're welcome!" She exclaimed and then when Chunky released her, Blake took a deep breath. "Phew…"
"Breathtaking?" Ruby asked.
"That's one way to put it." Blake nodded and then pulled out the map again. "Alright, I think we should head over to… this way!" She said and then the others followed her, where they wound up in a room filled with construction equipment, and then they spotted Cranky's Lab nearby. "…Why am I not surprised?" She shook her head and then they headed over to his lab.

"Oh good heavens, Chunky, is that you?" Cranky asked.
"Yes!"
"Boy, do I have a potion for you!" He exclaimed and then handed him a potion where he drank it… and grew gigantic to the point where his head burst out of the lab, where a Kremling spotted this and screamed.
"IT'S KONGZILLA! MY NIGHTMARES HAVE BECOME REAL!" He screamed while running off.
"And I thought they said Ridley was huge…" Sky sweatdropped.
"Hey! Did I give you permission to put a hole through my ceiling!" Cranky yelled as Chunky went back to normal size.
"Heeeey, Chunky Dude!" Funky came walking in. "Good to see ya, my good man!"
"Funky!" Chunky exclaimed as the two hugged each other.
"Dude, do I have the weapon for you!" He grinned and handed him a Pineapple Launcher. "Here ya go, a Pineapple Launcher!"
"Chunky don't want to hurt anybody…"
"Oh, don't think of it like that! Think of giving your enemies a healthy dose of food."
"Oh, got it!"
"Does he not like fighting?" Ruby whispered to Funky while Chunky was checking out his weapon.
"He's a bit shy… and a bit of a pacifist. But let me tell ya, when push comes to shove, he's one hell of a guy." Funky whispered back. "Trust me, you'll be glad to have him around."
"Gotcha!" Ruby nodded as they walked out of the lab.
"Lousy kids… now I'm gonna have to repair my ceiling!" He grumbled.

"So, where are we headed next?" Banjo asked as Blake took a look at the map.
"Let's go this way." Blake took off as they ran off with her. Blake took a hard right and ran into another room where she saw a room full of dice, dominoes and other toy-like objects. "I don't like this."
"Let's be careful." Banjo suggested as they walked around the room, and then on cue, some of the dominoes and die came to life and charged at them, but Donkey Kong punched the dominoes down and then Lanky picked up one of the die and threw them at the other dice, knocking them over and then Banjo and Kazooie used Wonderwing to knock the dice down to defeat them.
"So much for being careful." Sky sweatdropped. "We got ambushed by dice and dominoes."
"Could be worse." Kazooie said as they walked ahead and found a large room where the toy-like objects were being made by a machine by someone controlling it. The someone in question… was a chicken.
"Colonel Pluck?!" Tiny exclaimed as Donkey Kong let out a sigh and made ape noises with Diddy Kong to try to get his attention.

BGM: Snakey Chantey (Super Smash Bros Ultimate)
Colonel Pluck turned his attention to them and scowled, using his machine, the Stompybot 3000 to fly over and landed. "BGAAAAAAAAAW!"
"Ah great, he's brainwashed again!" Tiny exclaimed.
"Again?" Ruby asked.
"We'll tell you later!"
Colonel Pluck raised the foot up in the air to try and crush Banjo, but he jumped back and then cocked Kazooie, having her spit out eggs and hit the windshield of the machine. Colonel Pluck attempted to kick the two but they jumped back in time while Ruby threw her boomerang, hitting the windshield as it turned around and had it hover above her to try and fry her with its flame jet, but Donkey Kong jumped in the air and punched him to knock him back. Colonel Pluck quickly ran toward Donkey Kong after getting up, but Diddy Kong shot him with his peanut popguns to distract him, then Lankey Kong stretched his arms and grabbed a hold of his legs, tripping him over.
"Alright, Wrench… crush him!" Sky ordered as Wrench flew up in the air, grew gigantic and dive bombed on top of him, crushing him and destroyed the Stompybot, but Colonel Pluck refused to give up and then emerged himself from the falcon's grasp, where the Stompybot 3000 was now hovering like a Koopa Clown Car as he pulled out out some egg bombs from his compartment and threw them, but Blake used her whip to whip him in the head, stunning him and made him slump over on the controls, pressing a button. When he came to, he saw that he pushed the "release" button.
"Bwack oh…" He quietly said as he attempted to throw more eggs, where the others were unaware of a cell door slowly rising. Colonel Pluck attempted to hit the "stop" button, but realized that it popped off when Donkey Kong punched him. He sweatdropped at this and he quickly attempted to fly off, but Blake wrapped her whip around the machine and pulled it back, with some help with Chunky and Banjo. Colonel Pluck struggled to try to get away.
"What's the matter, ya big chicken? Ya don't want to fight anymore?" Kazooie taunted.
Colonel Pluck attempted to throw more eggs at them to try to get them off his back, but Donkey Kong grabbed them and tossed them to the side. A shadow suddenly overlapped them as they looked up in the air to see Tifa above them. Tifa let out a yell and proceeded to axe kick Colonel Pluck.
"BGAAAAAAAW!" He "bgawed" in terror before the axe kick hit him, crushing him and his machine. Tifa then picked up the machine and punched him straight to a wall, where it shattered on impact and caused Colonel Pluck to faceplant, and blueprints landed on top of him. "Bgaaaw…" He groaned, stars circling above his head.

"Stupid chicken." Tifa grumbled.
"Hey Tifa!" Ruby greeted. "Where'd you come from?"
"I was in that cell door over there." Tifa explained, pointing over to where she was.
"Couldn't you have escaped earlier?" Blake asked.
"Unfortunately, that witch put a spell that sapped my energy in that cell, so I couldn't use my strength to bust my way out. However, the spell is no longer in affect when the cell door opened up. When I felt my strength returning, I made my move." She explained.
"That would explain it." Sky nodded.
Tifa then turned to the Kongs and Banjo. "So, who are your friends?"
"Tiny Kong, nice to meet ya!"
"Lanky Kong! Hello!"
"Chunky! You are a pretty lady!"
Tifa giggled. "Aw, thank you!"
"Hello there, the name's Banjo, and this is my friend Kazooie!"
"Heya!"
Tifa smiled. "Nice to meet all of you. My name's Tifa Lockhart." She turned her head to the blueprints that Blake had picked up. "So what are those?"
"Blueprints. I don't know where Snide is located, but we should get these delivered."
"Who's Snide?"
"A weasel who used to work for K. Rool." Ruby said.
"…A weasel?" Tifa raised an eyebrow. "Um… okay…?"
"Don't worry, he means well! We just need to find him and find those Golden Bananas." Ruby said as they nodded and ran off, with Blake leading the way with the map. They reached another pole that led to the third floor as they climbed up the pole and jumped off to the third floor, then they walked around where they saw the Production Room in front of them.
"Goodness! What is all this?" Tiny asked.
"By the looks of it… it's not good." Blake said. "We need to shut this down."
"But how? This thing looks like it needs a passcode or… something!" Ruby exclaimed.
Diddy Kong looked up top and rubbed his chin in thought, then he brought out his jetpack and flew up to investigate, where he noticed a lever up top and a sign next to it.
"Do not touch! That means you, DK Crew! - K. Rool."
Diddy let out a cheeky monkey giggle and looked at the screen while pulling out a sign. "This won't stop me because I can't read!" The sign read where he tossed the sign away and rubbed his hands together, and then he pulled the lever. The large machine in question shut down and stopped moving while Diddy free fell and used his jetpack to safely land.
"Oooor we can let Diddy do it." Ruby said as Donkey Kong high fived his little buddy.
"Well, that's one way to do it. Let's go!" Tifa said as they turned around… only for bars to slam into the entryway.

"Who dares to end production?"
A large machine came flying down and scanned the heroes. "Humans. Apes. Bear and bird. You stopped production?"
"That's right, we did!" Ruby nodded.
"I cannot allow that to happen. Production of these monster toys must continue if master wants to take over the world. You must be stopped."
"Oh hah! Like you'll stop us!" Kazooie taunted.
"I, KAOS, will stop you from letting production come to a halt."
"Chaos… as in, one of Sonic's friends?" Ruby asked.
"I think it's a different kind…" Blake responded.
"KAOS will crush you!"
BGM: Jungle Joust (Mario and Rabbids Kingdom Battle: Donkey Kong Adventure)
KAOS flew around them and attempted to burn them with its exhaust flames, but they rolled out of the way as Ruby threw her boomerang at KAOS' head, stunning it for a bit where Donkey Kong jumped up and punched it to the wall. Chunky Kong brought out his Pineapple Launcher and fired pineapples at it. KAOS responded by tilting its whole body and blades came out and started spinning as it charged directly at Tifa, who quickly used Dolphin Blow to knock it back, then she delivered a powerful kick to send it flying.
KAOS responded by pulling out two boxing gloves, but instead of normal boxing gloves, these gloves looked reminiscent of Ember Celicia. "Oh my gosh, they turned Yang into a robot!"
"Yang? Does not compute."
KAOS shot off two blasts from the Ember Celicia lookalikes, where they exploded on contact when they hit Tiny and Lanky. It then extended its fists into arms and punched both Ruby and Blake, both of them dodging. "Those arms kinda reminds me of that weird tournament I've seen…" Blake mused.
"Now's not the time for that!" Ruby exclaimed as KAOS attempted to cut them again with the blades, but Banjo and Kazooie both used Wonderwing to slam into him and on his head to stun it, then Chunky Kong pulled back his arm and slapped him across the room, shattering the helmet and revealed the head to be some kind of metallic skull thing. KAOS floated back up and then suddenly fired missiles at them, where Blake whipped some of them to make them fall to the ground and explode, while Tifa grabbed one missile and threw it back at KAOS, making a direct hit.
KAOS attempted to fire a laser at Lanky, but he inflated himself as a balloon to dodge it, and then he stretched his arms to smack its head to stun it where Diddy Kong fired his Peanut Popguns at him and then Wrench clawed its head with his talons and retreated while KAOS snapped out of it. It then attempted to hit them with the boxing gloves, but Tifa grabbed a hold of one of them and swung it over to slam into the ground behind her, and then did the same thing like what Luigi did in Luigi's Mansion 3.
"Danger. Danger. Critically low on health. Must escape!"
"Oh no, you don't!" Tifa yelled as Lanky stretched his arms to grab a hold of KAOS and pulled him down, then Tifa turned to Chunky. "Chunky! I'll give you a boost!"
"But Chunky don't want to!"
"Don't worry, you'll be okay!" Tifa smiled at him.
"O-Okay! Chunky believes pretty lady!" He said as he ran over and stepped on Tifa's hands where she launched him up in the air as he flew up and came crashing down like a massive boulder and slammed into KAOS while it was struggling to get away. The two of them crashed into the ground together… and then Chunky got up relatively unharmed while KAOS got up, short circuiting and then exploded.
End BGM
Debris and Golden Bananas flew everywhere and when the smoke disappeared, they saw Yang floating there but she started falling to the ground. Ruby quickly ran over to her sister and used her semblance to grab a hold of her and landed perfectly. "I gotcha, sis!"
"Yang? What were you doing in there?" Blake asked.
"Ooogh…"
"She's unconscious." Tifa said. "Come on, we need to get her out of here to someplace safe."
"Right."
"Nnngh… Ruby…?"
"Shhhh, don't talk, save your energy!"
"I… I don't think I have… any energy… left…"
"Wait, what?"
On cue, Tifa quickly picked up Yang and carried her piggy back style. "Stop talking and save your strength."
"Come on, let's go to Cranky's. He might know something." Blake suggested as they nodded and took off while Donkey Kong went after them while carrying the bananas with the rest of the DK crew.
Meanwhile…
"Oh me oh my, it looks like your metallic friend wasn't up to snuff!" Gruntilda teased.
"Ah ah ah! I wouldn't bet on that." K. Rool shook his finger. "You see, back in the early days, KAOS was powered up by Donkey and Diddy's cerebral energy while stuffed inside him. Because of that, I recreated him and tweaked him a bit. Since the people of Remnant runs on this energy known as Aura, I decided to make an Aura Sapper inside, where I stuffed Yang in it after you successfully kidnapped her and sucked her aura to power it up. I even used her weapons as a basis for the boxing gloves… heck, I still have them in storage!" He chuckled. "You may not know this, but Donkey and Diddy were out of it for a while after they were freed, so, by that logic…"
Gruntilda's eyes widened in surprise. "That punch happy girl will be out of it as well!"
"Precisely! I believe that is called a "nerf" or whatever those fancy kids say these days." K. Rool chuckled. "They may have won, but I gained the upper hand! I am still victorious! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" K. Rool started laughing maniacally.
"AHAHAHAHA! I like the way you think!"
Meanwhile, with JNPR…
"I believe this is the stop." Pyrrha said as they walked up to a door and she knocked on it, where a girl answered the door. "Hi, are you Nikki?"
"I am… are you team JNPR, a team who joined Smash?"
"Oh, you've heard of us?" Nora asked.
"I have… but, you've come at a bad time." Nikki sighed. "Ever since my studio shut down because people kept drawing the nastiest of things, I haven't been the same since… I wanted to let creativity flow… but I had to shut it down because people were drawing the most… risque things."
"Oh come on, it can't be that bad." Jaune said.
One minute later…
Jaune was sitting in a fetal position. "Someone burn my eyes! PLEASE!" He begged.
"Burn it all!" Nora yelled.
"Goodness… and people weren't stopping?"
"No… It was meant to be wholesome! Not… that!"
"Maybe you can share your art studio with Vince? Where you draw and he paints? I bet you two would be a good duo." Ren suggested. "Plus, it could help bring back your fans."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. I'm sure Master Hand would agree." Pyrrha nodded.
Nikki stared at them and then grinned widely, picking up her pencil and notepad. "I accept! SWAPNOTE STUDIO IS BACK, BABY!" She yelled. "Come on, let's go!" She ran off.
"That was easy!" Nora grinned as Pyrrha picked up a horrified Jaune.
"Come on, let's get you out of here." Pyrrha said as they walked out of Nikki's home.
There would've been something before the gang travels through Frantic Factory, but... I suppose the Phantom Thieves could count as part one and this could count as part 2. Haha! XD
Anyway, i've seen Rise of Skywalker on opening night and... well, before I give my verdict, I just want you to know... that it's okay to not like something. It's okay if you like something that everyone else hates. Be you! It's okay if you didn't like Rise of Skywalker. It's okay if you liked or absolutely loved Rise of Skywalker. It's okay if you didn't like The Last Jedi. It's absolutely FINE if you loved The Last Jedi.
I get it, The Last Jedi divided the fans and became a bloodbath on both sides. I've seen both arguments and i've seen people attacking one another... mostly the Last Jedi haters attacking those who like The Last Jedi. It's NOT okay to attack people based on their opinion. It's NOT okay to say "You are wrong! The Last Jedi sucks and your opinion doesn't matter!" It's NOT okay to say you didn't like The Last Jedi and attack people who do and make them change their opinions.
I will come out and say that I loved The Last Jedi. I'm a casual Star Wars fan and I love all the movies! ...Though, I will admit Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones aren't all that great, but I will defend Revenge of the Sith! I know there are Star Wars comics out there, books and what not... but I haven't really gotten around to those because... well, I just simply don't feel like it. I've seen a handful of Star Wars games and own a few such as Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga, Force Unleashed for the Wii (I couldn't get past that AT-ST on Endor though... I think it was Endor... it's been years.) and... I think that's it? I've also seen Battlefront II's story and I thought it was alright. As for Fallen Order... I still need to get around to watching it, same with Force Unleashed II but I did hear the latter kinda sucks.
Ahem, anyway, I got a little off topic. Anyway, about Rise of Skywalker... I absolutely LOOOOOOOVED this movie. It was simply a blast and I loved every moment of it! I won't go into spoilers but holy cow, that was a hell of an ending! (A bit of a spoiler though: What is it with Chewie's sad roaring that gets me every time? First it was Han, then THAT character bites the dust. Gah, I knew it was sad that the character died and... I just teared up hearing Chewie cry like that ;-;) I absolutely loved it... hell, i'm actually going back to watch it for the second time tonight! It's just that good!
So, anyway, did y'all like it? Did y'all hate it? Feel free to let your opinions known! (But let's keep the spoilers to PMs, alright? It's only been a few days after all.)
