Chapter 2
"Has anyone seen Candy?" asked DK. She was nowhere to be found, and he was getting worried. Then, a message on a big leaf caught his eye. It read:
"Donkey Kong:
Just thought I'd let you know that Candy is in my possession. That's right – I abducted her, and I also plan to kill her. Only you could save her, but you are a coward. And you are also dumb, because you'll never guess that I am responsible for the abduction. Ha ha ha! Have a good time trying to guess that I'm behind all this!
Sincerely, King K. Rool"
DK slapped his forehead in frustration at the stupidity of his nemesis' threat. Still, he called Diddy and Funky to help him in the quest. "Of course we'll go with you!" said Diddy cheerfully. "Right on! Let's go save Candy, yo!" agreed Funky. Suddenly, ghostly Wizpig heads appeared out of nowhere. Wizpig himself swooped down from the sky and grabbed Dixie, who was painting her nails.
He laughed at Diddy, and taunted him. "If you want to see your girlfriend alive again, don't count on it!" he called, and flew away, taking Dixie with him. The ghostly heads vanished as well. Diddy just looked at the sky with an enraged expression. "You'll pay for this, Wizpig!" he yelled. "Yo, dude! Chill for a sec!" said Funky, "DK, my man, you know I'll always be there to help you. If Diddy here won't go, count on me, yo!" Just as the Wizpig heads had appeared earlier, Dread Kong, Ninja Kong, Karate Kong, and Sumo Kong walked towards DK and the rest.
Then the Ghastly King appeared and took Tiny. Before leaving, he spoke to Funky. "Surfer boy!" he bellowed, "I'm taking this girl with me. If you want her back alive, you know where to find me!" Then he disappeared, and the Kong Kings went with him. "Sorry, dude," said Funky, "I think it's best if I go rescue Tiny. She's younger, yo!" Diddy and Funky left to rescue Dixie and Tiny. "Rats!" complained DK, "I guess I'm on my own now." He went to see if Lanky, Klumsy, or Chunky were willing to help him. "King K. Rool, you say?" asked Chunky, "Sorry, DK. We're busy." "We're going to go steal something from that old grouch, Cranky!" said Klumsy. "I heard that!" shouted Cranky, and pulled out a rifle. "Ya still wanna mess with me?!" The 3 cracked up and decided to continue making Cranky angry.
DK left his friends and decided to find someone else to be his partner. In the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario was doing the same thing. He went to see Wario, Waluigi, and Wayoshi. "Bowser?" asked Wario, "Nah. We stopped working for him long ago." "We'd rather have fun!" added Waluigi, snickering. "What kind of fun?" asked Mario. "Oh, something like…" replied Wayoshi, "Stealing old Toadsworth's walking stick! I can already picture him saying, 'Ruffians! I demand you return my walking stick right this minute! Hurry, hurry! Chop chop! Oh, dear, I am to be having tea with the Princess now!'" All this while mocking the old Toad's British accent. Wario and Waluigi were laughing so hard they couldn't even breathe. Mario walked on, trying to find someone willing to help him. DK was doing the same thing.
