Chapter Two: Kongo Krusade!

On an island south of the Mushroom Kingdom, where bananas grow, and plants flourish, Donkey Kong (From now on DK) swung through the vines.

"This is great!" DK shouted.

Things were great in the tropical wonderland until a cry of distress was heard.

"HELP ME!"

"Uh-oh, someone's in trouble!" DK thought. "I'm coming!"

DK swung through the trees until he arrived at the scene on the tree tops. Donkey Kong soon witnessed his friend, Diddy Kong (From now on just Diddy), getting attacked by kritters.

"It's K. Rool's goons!" DK thought.

"Donkey Kong, you're here!" Diddy rejoiced.

"I'm here to kick some Kremlin butt!" DK assured.

The two apes pulled out their projectiles, the Peanut Popgun for Diddy, and the Coconut Blaster for DK. The kritters charged at them.

"Eat coconut!" DK shouted as shot a kritter at point blank range, knocking it back to another kritter, with both of them falling of the tree.

"I have the side order of peanuts as well!" Diddy added, shooting two peanuts at a kritter's eyes. The blinded kritter fell of the tree.

"Well that's the last of them." DK said. "Looks like a job well done!"

"Nothing we two can't do!" Diddy cheered.

"Well done, but it's only round one!" A voice said. It came from a floating airship shaped like a crocodile. Out from the cockpit came

"What do you want K. Rool?" DK shouted.

"What do you want?" gloated as he pressed a button, opening the ship's payload. Suddenly, the Kong's saw that their Banana Hoard was stolen.

"Last time I check, crocodiles were carnivores!" Diddy stated.

"Last time I checked, chimps actually ate their bananas!" K. Rool replied.

"You'll pay for this!" DK assured.

"Since you are quite the bugger, I know just quite the thing for you!" K. Rool shouted as he fired an energy blast at the heroes. It then went back into the projectile.

"What did that do!" Diddy asked.

"It's none of your business!" K. Rool replied as he tried to shake them off. He found that he couldn't, so he tried a new tactic. He sent two Kritters on to the airship's deck.

"What are they doing?" thought DK.

"We soldiers need a little snack!" One of the Kritters said.

Just then, the kritters started peeling the bananas and eating them.

"How dare you eat our bananas?" DK growled. "You'll regret this!"

The enemies ignored them as they continued snacking. On top of that, they threw banana peels down to the floor.

"That does it!" DK announced as he swung on vines high enough to break the cable holding the bananas, dropping them down.

"The Banana Hoard is safe!" Diddy cried in joy.

"Why did you steal our Bananas?" asked DK.

"Previous times I didn't know, but now it's because I have a trap!" K. Rool replied.

"What trap?" Diddy asked.

"This one!" K. Rool announced as he pressed a button.

Just then, an iron cage dropped, trapping the two Kongs.

"See what happens when you mix up your priorities!" K. Rool shouted.

The two heroes were trapped in the airship as K. Rool flew of to his destination.

In the Mushroom Kingdom, Bowser was standing before his army at the balcony of his castle.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have a new powerhouse in our team!" Bowser announced.

The Koopa troop then looked behind them to see something covered with a shroud. Suddenly, a couple hammer bros pulled off the shroud. The mass weapon of destruction was revealed. It appeared as just a dome the size of a car.

"I give you, the Koopa Krusher!" Bowser declared.

"You mean that pathetic thing!" one koopa shouted.

Bowser let out a loud roar. Two hammer bros grabbed the defiant koopa, and threw him in the dungeon.

"You see, it looks small, but wait until I add this!" Bowser stated as he put a card into the machine. The card had the letter "V" on it.

Suddenly, the dome increased rapidly in size, becoming the size of a stadium. Whirring lights sparkled on the machine as large cannons grew out of it.

"Lets lay waste to the Mushroom Kingdom, and soon, the world will be ours!" Bowser yelled.

The Koop troop cheered as they marched towards the Mushroom Kingdom.

"Ma Ma Mia." Mario groaned as he got off the ground.

"So this is the land o Hyrule?" said Luigi as he got up.

Mario nodded as the duo walked into a castle town. The villagers, who looked like elves, were enjoying themselves peacefully. Suddenly, they stopped to look at the foreigners.

"Who are you guys?" One of the citizens shouted.

"I am Mario, and this is my brother, Luigi." Mario said.

"Where are you from? We never saw anyone like you guys before!" shouted another citizen.

Unknown to the crowd, a warrior with a green tunic looked at the scene below. He was the Hero of Time, better known as Link. Link soon noticed Mario, and Luigi.

"What's happening?" Link asked.

"It's our hero!" shouted one of the citizens. "Destroy these foreigners!"

"I know these people!" Link replied. "They are from my fighting tournaments!"

The people understood what Link was talking about, and they soon formed a better opinion on the two heroes.

"What are you two doing here?" Link asked.

"Well, we stepped into a machine, and we ended up here!" Mario replied in the best way he could.

"Well, let's team up and rescue Zelda from Ganondorf!" Link said.

The citizens cheered as the heroes left to find Ganondorf.

Before we continue with the situation Donkey Kong and his pal are in, let's rewind a few minutes back into the past. We see a female Kong, Dixie Kong (from now on just Dixie), and an old wise Kong, Cranky Kong (from now on just Cranky), talking together

"Cranky, where do you think Donkey and Diddy Kong went to?" Dixie asked.

"They said they heard a distress signal." Cranky replied as he rocked back and forth in his rocking chair.

"What distress signal, there's nothing going on." Dixie said.

Suddenly, there was a loud whirring that came from above. Dixie and Cranky K looked up, only to see a giant airship above them. Hanging from the airship was a net full of bananas.

"King K. Rool!" Dixie shouted.

"Mwahahaha, that's right, it's me! I take pleasure in getting rid of this island!" K. Rool shouted.

"If you attack Dixie, you have to get through me first!" shouted Cranky.

"You're too old to be any use to me!" replied K. Rool.

With that, an iron cage dropped down, trapping Dixie.

"I'm trapped!" Dixie shouted.

K. Rool lifted the cage up into the airship, and continued to the location that would be his fight with DK, and Diddy.

Now we fast-forward.

"Donkey Kong, what's gonna happen?" Diddy asked.

"I don't know." DK replied.

The two heroes noticed they were in the same cell as Dixie Kong, who was asleep.

"Dixie Kong!" Diddy shouted.

"Hi guys!" Dixie replied as she woke up.

The Kongs noticed a guard who was walking by, whistling. Diddy soon ate a banana and threw the peel at the path. The guard soon slipped, dropping the keys. Diddy Kong soon reached for it.

"Almost there!" Diddy said straining.

The Kritter got back up on his feet, and attacked, but not before DK floored him with a quick punch.

"That should do it." DK assured.

Diddy grabbed the keys, and opened the cell. The three monkeys then escaped. They walked down the halls until they looked out the window, and noticed they were in the Mushroom Kingdom.

"That's where Mario lives right?" Diddy asked.

"Yes, that's where he lives." DK replied.

"Who's Mario?" Dixie asked.

"You'll see him!" DK assured.

Diddy Kong was delighted until a grim look appeared on his face.

"But this is also where… I have a bad feeling about this!" Diddy Kong sighed as the airship continued onto its implied path… Bowser's Kingdom!
