The joke here is extremely meta. If you don't know what going on, you're just going to think the dialogue is weird. However, I trust all of you enough to catch on to what's really going on.
ALSO, forgot to mention this last chapter, but the cover art is from the tumblr Emilia's Fire Emblem Scribbles.
"Ook."
"DK, stop." Robin said.
"Oog. Eek!" DK responded.
"I know you can talk." Robin insisted.
"Ooga ooga." DK said.
"You aren't even making those noises." Robin said. "You're just saying the words 'Ooga ooga.'"
"Ack!" DK exclaimed.
"If you don't stop, I'll get your awareness level ranked down and you'll be treated like an actual animal." Robin said. "That means, among other things, you and Diddy will lose your room."
"...Fine." DK said. "That hardly seems fair, though."
"Well, you were the one who wanted to talk to me." Robin said. "I did actually want to talk to you. People were happy to hear that Donkey Kong was finally here."
"I do have my fans." DK admitted. "I wanted to talk to you about my moveset and hopefully sell you on including some of the members of my crew in the tournament."
"That's not really something I can do." Robin said. "That's something you'd have to bring up with the Hand. I understand what you're saying, though. You are the leader of bunch."
"I want to talk to you about my moveset, since, even though people know me well, I could kick even more tail." DK explained.
"What are you thinking?" Robin asked.
"My coconut gun." DK said. "You know, the one that fires in spurts?"
"Yeah." Robin said. "I see where you're coming from. However, when you shoot it, it really hurts. Too much, in fact. You'd be considered overpowered with that kind of weaponry."
"Bigger, faster, and stronger, too." DK said. "...I see what you mean. What about the other members of my crew? I'm only the first member."
"Who are you thinking?" Robin asked.
"Well, there's Tiny. She's got style and she can shrink down to fit her mood." DK explained. "No other fighter could change their size like that. Also, she can float and climb really well, so those would make great recovery skills."
"I feel like if we chose her, we would be choosing wrong." Robin said.
"Very well." DK said. "I'm just saying, with a skip and a hop, she's one cool Kong."
"...What a weird thing to say." Robin commented. "OK, who's next?"
"Well…" DK mumbled. "There's Lanky…"
"Oh, don't get me started on Lanky!" Robin exclaimed. "He's got no style, no grace, and, frankly, he has quite a funny face!"
"He's my friend!" DK exclaimed. "Besides, he can do handstands, stretch out his hands, and inflate himself like a balloon!"
"Fine, fine." Robin said. "I'm still not considering him. How's Diddy?" RObin suddenly asked.
"Well, he's back again. About time, too, if you ask me." DK said.
"Where was he?" Robin asked.
"Well, he was in a bit of a mood, but he's over it now." DK said.
"You know, he can fly really high with that jetpack on." Robin commented.
"He's one tough monkey with those pistols of his!" DK exclaimed.
"Kong." Robin corrected.
"What?"
"He's one tough Kong, not one tough monkey." Robin clarified.
"Right. Sorry." Donkey Kong said. "Finally, we get to the last member of the DK crew."
"Ah...Dixie Kong." Robin said.
"No." DK said.
"Cranky Kong?" Robin suggested.
"Nope." DK said.
"Candy Kong?" Robin asked.
"No! Chunky Kong!" DK exclaimed. "He's so strong it isn't funny!"
"I bet he could make anyone cry out for mummy." Robin commented.
"He can pick up a bolder with relative ease. He makes crushing rocks seem like such a breeze." DK said.
"I understand your argument, but I don't think so." Robin said. "He moves slow and he can't jump high. Those are pretty essential to Smash."
"I suppose." DK admitted. "Still, he's a hell of a guy. Anyway, could I suggest some items?"
"Sure." Robin replied. "What do you have in mind?"
"Well, I'm going to take it to the fridge with this one." DK said. "Walnuts, peanuts, pineapple smells, grapes, melons, oranges and coconut shells."
"...Those are just food items." Robin said. "DK, we already have those."
"Oh. Sorry." DK said. "Well, I have to break it to the gang that they got shot down. Nice talking to you." DK said, leaving the office.
"...Oh yeah." Robin said, for no particular reason.
I had no idea what I was original going to do with this chapter. Now it's one of my favorites. I'm lucky I have such a good idea for the next chapter.
