Here it is, everyone...the last chapter of this story.

...For some reason, Diddy had woken up on the floor...Or was it the wall? Either way, it didn't matter. He was in the back of the Flying Krock, where Clothes and gaming controllers were thrown around haphazardly. Besides Diddy were the other Kongs. DK started rubbing his head as he sat up. As for Dixie, she looked around with a bewildered look on her face. She looked just as confused as Diddy was.

"So what happened?" Diddy asked, gaining the attention of both Kongs. DK looked down at Diddy with a stern look on his face, "I should be askin' you the same thing!"

"Whaddaya mean?"

"I mean look at you!" DK yelled as he started looking over Diddy's arms. "You've got all these scrapes and bruises on you, yet you both act like nothing happened...And what happened to your hat?"

"Uh..."

It was at this point that DK began to smirk, he pulled Diddy in for a hug. "I missed ya, Little Buddy!"

"...I missed ya too, DK!" Diddy said as he returned the hug. DK looked back at Dixie and patted her on the head. "Thanks for keepin' an eye on him."

Dixie smiled as she was about to speak, but was interrupted by an earthquake. The Kongs held onto DK for dear life until the earthquake vanished. Once everything settled down, DK made his way over to the hatch and broke it open.

The Kongs noticed that they were inside a jungle, yet this jungle didn't look anything like the jungles on their island For instance, the trees surrounding the trio were much darker than the ones back home. Not only that, but the air here was much more humid...In fact, it was probably as humid here as it was in Krem Quay. In the distance, there was a pink and blue beam that was absorbed into the ceiling.

"Where are we?" Diddy asked as he hopped out of the airship.

"I think we're in the Lost World," Dixie replied as she hopped out afterwards. "That's the only place we HAVEN'T been to."

"Wherever we are, we should probably start lookin' around," DK replied. "Besides, I don't think anyone's gonna come after us while we're here."

With that said, DK allowed both Kongs to climb onto his back. The newly formed trio began heading towards the beam. They knew it wasn't an exit, but it had to be worth checking out before they leave the island for good.

As the trio explored further into the jungle, they ran into many different ruins. They were either crumbled towers or fallen statues. But either way, it was interesting to look at.

"So why do you think K. Rool's as harsh as he is?"

"Whaddaya mean?" Dixie asked.

"Well...a king's s'posed to be nice to his people, right?" Diddy asked. "So why is it that K. Rool treats everyone like dirt?"

"Not all kings are gonna be the same way, Diddy," DK said sternly. "You and I were chosen for the role. But in most cases, kings and queens are sort of...born into the role. If we did the same thing at home, your mom would've been a queen."

"So in other words, the Kremlings were stuck with K. Rool whether they liked it or not..."

"Exactly," DK replied. "I dunno how or why K. Rool's the way he is...But who knows? Maybe the Kremlings here could find a better life one day."

Diddy nodded. As scary as this adventure was, some of the Kremlings here seemed like genuinely nice people...Or at least they were towards each other. Perhaps if things were different, the two tribes could actually get along with each other.

The trio moved further and further into the jungle. Eventually, they stumbled upon what looked like an island sitting in the middle of a lake. The island had an entrance in the shape of a crocodile's head. The croc's mouth was wide open, like it was expecting some-sort of meal. DK jumped onto the water and started to swim over. At the very least, the trio needed to see where the beam was coming from.

As DK kept swimming, Dixie noticed a shadow swimming in the water. It looked fat enough to be a walrus, and yet it swam like a crocodile. Either way, she couldn't help but worry about it.

When the Kongs finally made it inside the island, they could see the beam coming from an altar. In front of the altar stood two Kremling statues, each one carried a sword in its hand.

"Looks like the beam's coming from underground," Diddy said as he leapt off of DK's back. "Whaddaya think it's here for?"

"Maybe it's just here for decoration?" DK asked.

"Actually, this is what keeps Crocodile Isle from sinking in the first place!"

The Kongs jumped as they turned around. At the island's entrance was K. Rool, who was covered in seaweed. He was holding his blunderbuss like he was ready to hit something.

"I thought I knocked you into the ocean," DK yelled. "How'd you even get here?"

"I'm a crocodile, you moron!" K. Rool barked. "And as for the beam, Kerozene needed sacrifices in order to keep this island afloat. But since he never got his meal, it looks like this island's done for."

"W-wait, so this island's sinking!?" Diddy yelled.

"And the funny thing about it is that it's all your fault," K. Rool said with a chuckle. "But hey...if I'm going down, then I'm taking all of you with me!"

K. Rool pointed his blunderbuss towards the Kongs, causing all three of them to run in different directions. The Kremling snarled as he continued to shoot at the Kongs. "STAY STILL, YOU MANGY BABOONS!"

The first Kong that K. Rool managed to knock down was Dixie, he knocked her down as she was gliding above him. The next Kong to get knocked down was DK. K. Rool managed to hit him in the stomach, which knocked the wind out of him. With both Kongs down, all that was left standing was Diddy. K. Rool was standing over him like a madman that was about to kick a puppy. And knowing K. Rool, Diddy wouldn't put it past him.

"Well, now...It looks like you've found yourself in quite the predicament," K. Rool said with a wide grin. "I didn't actually think you'd ever make it this far...In fact, I didn't think you'd be the one to sink my ship all those months ago...And yet here you are, sinking my island. I've under-estimated you for TOO long, Pipsqueak!" K. Rool pointed his blunderbuss towards Diddy's face, causing the monkey to flinch. "Say your prayers!"

Just as K. Rool was about to pull the trigger, the island began to tremble again. Not only did this cause K. Rool to lose his footing, this also caused him to shoot a cannonball into the altar. The island started to shake even worse than before. While K. Rool couldn't move, Diddy began making his way over to the other two Kongs. "C'MON, GUYS! WE GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE!"

DK groaned as tried to sit up against the wall. It was hard enough to walk with the wind knocked out of him, the fact that the island was crumbling apart just made things worse.

Dixie sat up, she had a worried look on her face. "H-how are we s'posed to get out? W-well be pulled underwater b-by the time we leave."

Diddy nodded, knowing that there wasn't much they could do. They suddenly heard something blow up, the trees from Gloomy Gulch began to fall into the Lost World. Diddy noticed how some of them were floating in the water, he gestured for DK and Dixie to leave the island and grab onto the floating trees. They could already see that the water level was rising.

The Kongs grabbed onto the nearest log they could find, they watched as the island continued to crumble. The broken rides of Krazy Kremland had completely fallen apart, the trees that made up the forests in Gloomy Gulch were now surrounding the Kongs. As or K. Rool's Keep, it was nowhere to be found.

After a while, the Kongs were surrounded by dead trees, lost animals, and confused Kremlings. While one could say that this was a victory for the Kongs, Diddy couldn't help but feel guilty about all this. His only major goal was to save DK, and yet all these Kremlings were stuck without a home.

"Do you think we should take these guys back to our island?" Diddy asked.

"I'm sure they'll be fine," DK replied. "Besides, I'm sure their friends'll start lookin' for them soon."

Dixie turned her head as she heard a motorboat drive by, she tapped DK's arm. "Do you guys hear that?"

DK looked around, he could hear the noise getting closer and closer until he spotted Funky driving the boat. Sitting on the boat with him were the other Kongs, as well as Rambi, Squitter, Rattly, and a few other critters that managed to climb onto the boat.

"So I see you guys managed to save DK after all," Funky said proudly, "Nicely done."

"Well, I would've done a MUCH better job if I was the one rescuing DK," Cranky argued. He looked at Diddy before he continued to speak. This time, he actually sounded proud. "However...I will admit that Diddy has a lot more potential than we realized. With that said, I'm sure he'll make a fine King when he grows up."

"But what about the Kremlings?" Diddy asked, "Will they be OK?"

"They'll be fine," Cranky replied as he held his cane out towards Diddy. "But for now, this calls for a celebration!"

Diddy grabbed onto the cane before Cranky pulled him into the boat. Dixie would be the next one to get on, she immediately ran towards Diddy and twirled him around. Needless to say, she was happy that their whole journey came to an end.

Finally, DK managed to climb onto the boat. He patted the duo's heads like the proud uncle that he was. With nothing left here for the Kongs, it was finally time to go home.

An hour had passed, K. Rool had finally poked his head from under the water. When he looked around, there was no Kong in sight...nor were there any Kremlings, here.

Not only was K. Rool left without a home, he was also left without his fellow Kremlings. Chances are, they've already headed off to look for another place to live...Not that he could blame them, he'd do the same thing.

Going to Donkey Kong Island was no longer an option for K. Rool. If he was going to get back at the Kongs, we would have to look for another place to live for the time being.

...Well, whatever. Not only was he going to go after DK next time, he'll have to go after Diddy as well. Those Kongs had to be destroyed, and nobody was going to stop him!

A week had passed since DK was rescued. Ever since the Kongs came back home, Diddy had been getting a lot of praise. In fact, many of the older Kongs began treating him the same way they treated DK. But even with all the praise, Diddy was just happy that he didn't have to worry about K. Rool anymore.

It was night time, DK was sitting on the porch with a lantern sitting at his left. On his right, Diddy was fast asleep. DK had an arm wrapped around him. No matter how old he had gotten, Diddy was still DK's kid. And he couldn't be any prouder of him...Still, if it weren't for him, DK wouldn't be sitting back on his porch. Both Kongs would've been dead, and the island would've been over-run with Kremlings. So the fact that a couple of kids had the courage to get through Crocodile Isle was amazing to him.

"Hey, DK!"

DK looked down, he could see Dixie standing in front of the ladder. "What's the matter, kid? Can't sleep?"

"...Not really."

"Then come on up," DK said, "There's plenty of room for you up here!"

Dixie nodded as she started climbing up the ladder, she sat down next to Diddy. The Kongs sat there quietly for a moment as they looked at the empty sky in the distance. It was strange to see Crocodile Isle no longer loom over them like a threat. And yet, with none of the Kremlings being able to attack, the Kongs no longer had to worry about getting attacked by them. It was strange, to say the least.

"Say, Dixie?"

"Yeah?"

"You and Diddy are a couple now...right?"

"Well...yeah," Dixie gave DK a worried look. "Why, is something wrong?"

"No, nothing's wrong," DK replied. "But I've been thinking...If something like this were to ever happen to Diddy, I might not always be around. Know what I mean?"

Dixie nodded in understanding.

"Well...if anything DOES happen to me, then can you promise me something?"

Once again, Dixie nodded. DK continued to speak.

"...If something ever happens, will you promise to take care of Diddy for me?" DK asked. "I know it's asking a lot from you, but I know you'll keep a good eye on him."

"Of course," Dixie replied. "I promise I won't let anything happen to him."

"That's good to hear," DK said, smiling. "But hey, after what happened with K. Rool, you guys probably aren't goin' anywhere like that for a LONG time!"

"Nope," Dixie said while smiling back, "Not for a while."

The Kongs continued to sit there for a little while longer, it was great to finally be back home.

Yeesh, I can't believe I've been updating this thing since October. But honestly, even though some parts could've been better, I'm just glad I was able to finish this thing. Especially since the game happens to be my favorite game of all time.

But I know I'm not done yet. Everyone and their dog will keep asking me about DKC3 if I don't do that one, so expect it to pop up sometime soon. I even have a few chapters pre-written. So until then, I hope you guys have a good day.
