Crazy trouble with love part 4

Skully and Kong

Series: King Kong

xxxxxxxxxxxx

We find the camera moving through an extremely dense stormcloud. Thunder boomed as lightning hit the ocean before the camera came out of cloud and showed what looked like a tropical paradise. It was a large island that was dense with jungle all around and no sign of shore anywhere. It seemed like paradise except for the animals, they were a bit bigger and stranger then anything you'd ever see.

One of such was a gorilla that looked close to the size of a large school bus moving on the ground while looking around with wonder. (It's so much different then the cave! I'm glad mommy and daddy let me come with them to get food!)

As he walked near a tree he looked up and saw a bundle of bananas hanging there. (What are those?) He said as he picked them all up with one hand. He sniffed them and tried biting into them, but the outer layer didn't taste as good as the inside.

(This is both delicious and bad!) He said as he started moving again. He looked around while eating them, but noticed some movement behind a tree. (Hello, who's there?) He asked curiously.

All he got in reply was a hissing sound.

(Hello? Do you want to be my friend?) He asked curiously as he took a step closer.

(Back off or I'll eat you!) came a response with more hissing.

(But I want to be your friend, I won't hurt you!) he spoke up moving around the side while only catching the glimpse of a tail moving away.

(Stay away! I'm warning you!) The voice hissed again. (I'm not joking! I-I'll really do it!)

(Do what?) He asked curiously as he got closer to the tree.

(Eat you!) The voice quickly said as Kong stopped moving towards the tree.

(Why would you want to eat me?)

(To survive of course, why aren't you running away?)

(Because my mommy and daddy are nearby, why aren't you running away?)

(I….I…..) The voice hissed as it began to waver.

(Aren't your mommy and daddy nearby?)

(I don't have any…)

(Any what?)

(Mommy or daddy alright!) they snapped.

(Really? I'm sorry to hear that, are you ok?) He asked, feeling sorry for her loss.

(No!) she hissed before it went silent. (Just leave me alone.)

(No, no one should be alone, who are you?) He said as he got even closer to the tree.

(I don't have a name.) The voice hissed quietly.

(Would you like one? I could give you one, my names Kong.)

(...)

(Is that a yes? Can you come out please?)

(...fine, but if you scream I'm leaving.)

(I won't scream, I promise.) he said with a smile as the being came out from behind the tree. His eyes widened as the creature had two legs, a long tail, and looked like a lizard with a face that seemed more boney.

(Well, go ahead, scream, run away or try to kill me, take your pick.) she frowned while looking away.

(Why? You look cool! Now lets figure out a name for you.) he replied with a smile while she blinked and looked at him confused.

(Wait….what did you say?) She asked in shock

(You look cool, now to give you a name...Skully?)

(Cool? How? All I have is two legs and a tail, everything around here is scared of me and wants me dead.)

(So? I'm not scared of you and you have a really cool face, it looks like a skull, that's why your new name is Skully!)

She looked down and nodded. (Alright, I'll take it.)

(Great! Let's hang out!) He said with a grin

(Wait, you sure? I mean, there's not many places to go where I'm not liked at.)

(Then we'll go to places no one else goes and if they try anything I'll protect you!) he declared while beating on his chest.

(Y-you would do that for me?) She asked happily.

(Yeah, that's what friends do for each other, right?)

(R-right, I guess so.) She said as she took a step forward only to trip on a tree. She fell on her face and let out a hiss of pain. (OW!)

(Are you ok? Do you need help?)

(No...I'll be fine.) she groaned getting back up and shaking her head.

(Ok, so where do you want to go?) He asked her curiously.

(Well, what about near the shore?)

(Ok, let's go!) He shouted happily as he began to run in the direction of the shore.

She started following while they went over a hill and had to push some trees out of the way. (So, how come I haven't seen you before Kong?)

(Well my mommy and daddy won't want me to wonder too far from them cause I'm so young.) He said as he stepped over a fallen tree.

(Are they as big you?)

(No way, they're HUGE.)

(Really? Are they as nice as you?)

(Yeah.) he climbed up a small rock wall with Skully using her legs to push against the sides and follow before reaching the other side with the shore in sight. (Maybe you could meet them.)

(Maybe later.) she said as they approached the water's edge.

(Let's go in and swim.) he moved into the water with a smile.

(Wait! Don't!) cried Skully in panic. (The water is full of deadly monsters!)

(Really? But it seems so calm.) he said in confusion.

(They're there, I saw one eat a big monster once!) she spoke while looking around nervously. (Hurry out of there, before one shows up.)

(Ok, I'm coming.) he said right before a tentacle shot out of the water. It wrapped around his arm and pulled him back, making him fall on his butt. (AH! Monster!)

(Hold on Kong, I'm coming!) she shouted as she ran towards the tentacle before biting it. She tried tugging on it before another one shot out and grabbed her leg and made her slip and let go. (Kong, it's too strong, what do we do?) she screamed before trying to bite the tentacle holding onto her leg.

(I don't know!) he grabbed one and tried tugging on it with all he had while another one rose up and wrapped around one of his legs.

(I got it, call for your mommy and daddy! Hurry!) she shouted as they began to get dragged into the water.

Kong nodded and took a deep breath of air before letting out a loud roar into the air.

There was silence for a moment before two angry screams shook the entire island.

Kong took another breath and let out another roar while they saw trees getting knocked over. (They're coming! Hold on Skully!)

She shivered as the wall was broken off and she saw two HUGE gorillas lumber out and not looking the least bit happy.

(Kong, I told you not to stray away from us!) The one on the left said with a female's voice as she grabbed the tentacles holding onto Kong.

(Sorry mommy.) he spoke as his parents grabbed the tentacles and pulled on them, dragging a giant squid out of the water with the other arms flailing around to try and wrap up the giant apes.

(And what are you doing with this skull crawler child?) His father asked sternly as he bit into the giant squids head, killing it.

(Skull crawler? What's that?) he asked confused while flinching at seeing the kill.

(She's a skull crawler!) He shouted as he pointed at Skully. (Do you have any idea how dangerous they are?)

(No, but she's my friend, she won't hurt me!) He said as he put himself between them and her.

(Kong your father is right, skull crawlers are one of the most dangerous species on the island.) spoke his mother.

(I don't care, she's my friend, and I know she won't hurt me!)

'I'm dangerous?'

(Kong, please, trust us, she's dangerous, you shouldn't be friends with her.) His mother pleaded with him.

(But mommy-)

(No buts Kong, we're going home now!) interrupted his father sending a glare at Skully before turning and moving back towards the jungle.

(N-No!) he shook his head. (She's my friend!)

(Kong, she is our natural enemy, you are both destined to try to kill each other, you can't be friends!) frowned his mother. (Now come along, now.)

(Not unless she can come too!) He said, shocking them all. (If not, I'm not going!)

(Kong, this is not a game, we are not bringing that thing to our home!)

(She's not a thing! She's my friend!) He shouted as he pounded his chest.

His mother huffed before moving over and picked him up under her arm and walked back into the jungle. (We're doing this for your own good.)

(No! Skully!) He screamed as he struggled to get out of his mother's grasp.

(Kong!) she shouted as she tried to run after him only to be stopped by Kong's father.

(Stay away from my son, or I'll crush you like the others.) he growled. He then knocked her away before following his wife.

Skully whimpered and watched them go before looking away. 'I knew it was too good to be true.'

Kong watched her leave sadly as he thought. 'I'm sorry Skully, I'll find you again someday, I promise.'

(Later)

(Kong, what were you you thinking?) His parents scolded him as they sat in their cave.

(I was thinking she seemed nice and needed a friend.)

(Kong, sweetie, she was a skull crawler, her kind has been trying to kill us and everything else on the island for centuries.) His mother said with a frown as she patted his back. (It was only a matter of time before she grew up and tried to hurt you too.)

(But what if she doesn't, what if she grows up and becomes my friend?)

(Son, the sooner you realize this is better off the way it is, the easier.) spoke his father.

(But she was so nice, she needed a friend, she didn't have a mommy or daddy like I do!)

(Look son, just forget about it. Our words stick and won't waver.) frowned his father.

He frowned and looked away while crossing his arms. (I want to be with Skully!) He pouted.

(Enough! It's getting late, now go to bed and forget about that skull crawler!) Kong's father groaned as his wife picked Kong up.

'I won't.' He thought as his parents laid down with him to sleep

(Later)

It has been many years since that fateful day, and Kong has tried to find Skully again but with no success. He grew up to the same size as his parents and became cold when it came to fighting monsters on the island, including skull crawlers that tried to kill him.

(I wish I could have been with you Skully, but I fear you may not be alive anymore.) he thought while resting on a large hill. (I hope you don't think I became like my parents, each one of your kind I've had to kill makes me feel sick.)

Unknown to him a large being was beginning to stir underneath the hill. It had been asleep for years to stay safe and it felt it's body slowly start to wake.

(If only I could see you again Skully.) he said before the earth began to shake. He stood up and looked around with a frown, expecting a monster or creature to come running out trying to eat him. (Alright, who want's to get beat up?) he said, not noticing the ground beginning to crack.

It chipped and the shaking got worse before he felt it was happening right beneath him. (What the-?) he said as it opened wide enough for him to fall through. (Woah!) He shouted as he began fall down, not knowing what was at the bottom.

It took a minute or so before he made contact and made a small crater.

(Owwww, where am I?) he groaned as he got back on his feet. He looked around to see he was in some sort of underground cavern that was empty. (Where am I? Is anyone else here?) He called out.

It was silent before he heard a growl echo.

(Hello? Who's there?) he called as he got into a defensive position.

(Ugh...who's there?) came a female voice back.

(My name is Kong, who are you?)

(Kong? Kong!) The voice said in both surprise and happiness before a large figure began to rush towards him.

He kept his stance and let out a primal roar before charging at the supposed attacker.

(Kong! It's me!) the figure shouted before jumping at him. They landed on his chest, causing him to fall back and crash on his back. (I've missed you so much Kong, it's me, Skully!)

He shook his head from the impact and saw a skull crawler on him, but much bigger than the other ones he had killed. (Skully? Is it really you?) he asked as the skull crawler wrapped her two appendages around him in a hug.

(Yes! Oh my goodness it's so great to see you again!)

(Yeah, it's great to see you again to Skully, though could you get off me please?)

(Oh, sorry.) she let go and moved off while letting out a hiss as she stretched her limbs. (That nap really hit the spot.)

(So you were sleeping down here? Huh, well that explains why I could never find you.) he remarked before looking at her curiously. (But, how long have you been sleeping?)

(Since your parents dragged you away.) She said as she sat down next to him and leaned against him.

(But….that's been for years!)

(My species grow large by hibernating, as long as we don't wake up we just keep growing.) she remarked while looking around. (Wow, I had no idea this place would look so small after that many years.)

(Well you did get a lot bigger, so it kinda makes sense.) he replied looking her over. (Before we were the same height, but now I think I'm bigger.)

(Really?) she looked them over. (Wow, you're right. But what have you been up to to get this big?)

Kong gulped and said (well, kind of a mix of eating a lot and…..) He said, not wanting to finish.

(And what?) She asked him curiously.

(...And skull crawlers….)

She looked at him in shock and looked down. (So….how many?)

(...over the years I've lost count, they just keep coming, they even killed my parents.) he revealed looking away while she went silent in shock and horror.

(Kong….I'm so sorry. I….never thought that would happen.)

(You don't have to apologize, you didn't kill them Skully.) he spoke while rubbing the back part of her head.

(But your parents were right, my kind is dangerous.) she said sadly.

(Hold on. Maybe they are, but YOU'RE not.) He said firmly as she looked up at him.

(Really? But I look like a giant monster now.)

(We're both giant, and you haven't done anything really bad, plus we're both monsters in a sense, right?)

(Huh, I guess you're right, thanks Kong.) she said with a smile.

(No problem.) he smiled while hugging her.

(I'm glad we're together again Kong, let's never separate again.) she said as she hugged him back. (Hey, what if you moved down here?)

(I dunno, how do I get out?) He asked as he looked around.

(Why would you wanna get out?) She asked as she tightened her hold on him.

(I need to eat, and I don't see any food down here.)

(Well I could go hunting for the two of us.)

(Well uh, I dunno…) He said hesitantly. (Wait...what if you come live with me instead?)

(Really? That sounds great mate!) she smiled while licking against his chin as he registered the last part of that.

(Wait, mate!?)
