...So Twin Cats decided to go to bed and forget about this story...
Nah, just kidding Anyway, here's the next-
Go to bed and forget about this ridiculous story!
But it's 2:30 in the afternoon (as I'm typing this)
Just go to bed!
All right, who keeps doing that?
It was dawn, the sky was a vibrant orange, the cheerful Island of Kongo Bongo was awakening. Many of the island's animals were starting to wake up from their sleep while the Nocturnal ones went into their homes to slumber through the day.
Diddy and Dixie were at Funky's flights. While Funky was getting the plane ready, Tiny, Kiddy, and Chunky were there saying their good byes to the Kongs.
"Dixie be good," Chunky said, hugging the ape, though he was really just squeezing her, "Dixie no abandon Diddy."
"I-I won't," Dixie said, struggling to breath, "I'-I'll be alright i-if you let go..." Chunky placed Dixie on the ground, he was smiling at his little cousin. Happy to see she was such a strong girl, he could say she was turning out to be like her father.
Diddy, on the other hand, had Kiddy with him, The baby looked as though he was wishing Diddy "good luck". For a baby, he was easy to understand.
"Be a good baby, ya hear?" Diddy said, petting the toddler, Kiddy nodded, hugging Diddy in return. "What're ya huggin' me for?" Diddy asked. Of course, Kiddy was just a baby, after all.
Tiny walked up to Diddy, her arms were behind her back. "I hope you live, Dixie's kind of an air head."
"If you say so..." For whatever reason, Diddy could never understand what went on in Tiny's mind, she was just a strange little ape. Kiddy let Diddy go, the baby gorilla scowled at Tiny.
"Diddy be good, too," Chunky said, hugging Diddy, he was practically squeezing the air out of his lungs. "Diddy take care of Dixie, yes?"
Diddy nodded, he couldn't talk at all, let alone breathe. Chunky let the little Kong down, Diddy was gasping for air.
"Alright, we're ready to go," Funky said, "I hope you dudes didn't forget anything!" Dixie frowned. "What about Cranky and Wrinkly?"
"They left, last night," Funky said, reassuringly, "They said they had some important stuff to take care of."
That would explain what was going on with Rambi, last night, Diddy thought to himself.
Funky cleared his throat, "Now Cranky wanted me to tell you dudes, if you wanna turn back, now, than here's you chance before he head over there."
"No way," Diddy said, confidentally, "DK would do the same thing for me, it's only fair that we're the ones rescuing him."
"Now that's the attitude I wanna see," Funky said in an excited tone, "You'll be savin' DK in no time!"
"Well, I suppose we can go, now," Dixie said, impatiently. She looked at Diddy, "Are you ready?"
Diddy nodded, he couldn't believe he was going to travel through Crocodile Island, the same island where the enemies were. However, he needed to keep his excitement to himself. He couldn't afford to screw up, he needed to put his energy to good use.
Diddy and Dixie headed into Funky's plane. Funky came in, after. As the plane took off, Dixie's family waved good-bye.
"They won't last a day," Tiny said, nonchalantly. Kiddy growled at her, wanting her to apologize.
"Well, like I said, before, Dixie's an airhead."
Crocodile island stood proudly in the ocean, ships were scattered on the bottom while the top of the island appeared to be castle-like and was surrounded by Brambles. The castle-like section was K. Rool's Keep. Within K. Rool's Keep, Donkey was sitting in a jail cell, his hands and feet were chained to the floor. The cell he was in was like any typical jail cell, hard floor, gray walls, and only one window that gave off very little light. There was occasionally a cry of anguish, somewhere in the dungeon while other times, it was just the seagulls.
From what Donkey knew, he wasn't the only prisoner in the dungeon. There were a few prisoners in the other cells who were practically treated like dirt, they would often get beaten or starve as a punishment if they didn't behave, and that was if K. Rool actually liked them. And as for the food, itself, Donkey would say he's tasted dirt that was better than the food here. All the Kremlings seem to eat are rats, fish, and other animals, no fruits at all.
He heard someone coming into the jail cell, it was K. Rool. Instead of his typical crown and his cape, he wore a pirate's hat and a brown trench coat. On his shoulder, there was the brown parrot, Screech.
"What's with the long face?" K. Rool asked. Donkey growled, he got up from his spot to try to attack the Kremling...only his chains prevented him from doing so. K. Rool couldn't help but smile, seeing Donkey look helpless was amusing.
"You know you won't get away with this!" Donkey growled, "And using me for the ransom? I'm surprised you haven't kidnapped anyone else."
"Oh please," Screech said, smuggly, "None of the other lousy apes would've mattered."
"Well, except for that pipsqueak...what was his name? Diddy?" K. Rool smiled maliciously, "Just imagine, the Kongs decide to keep the hoard, that nephew of yours would be incredibly heartbroken."
"Shut up!" Donkey yelled, "Diddy's old enough to understand, and it wouldn't be just him, you know. Plus, I'd rather be locked up here than to let you guys take-"
"YOU BE QUEIT!" Screech snapped, flapping his wings, K. Rool stroke the parrot's head, calming him down. "Patience, Screech."
"So, what're you gonna do, then?" Donkey said, "Even if I don't come back, what makes you think the Kongs won't attack you, themselves?"
"Well, I'm getting that Banana Hoard, either way," K. Rool argued, "And I won't have some overgrown fleabag tell me otherwise!"
The Crocodile left the dungeon, letting his parrot follow him. Donkey sighed, he never felt so pathetic. One minute he's King of Kongo Bongo and next thing he knows, he's one of K. Rool's prisoners. However, he was more worried about the other Kongs...Would they be all right, without him? The ape thought it was best not to think about it, too much. They'll be fine...
Funky's plane was getting closer to Crocodile Island, the island itself gave off a gloomy aura. most of the island looked like it was covered in fog. Diddy looked down, he could see the Gangplank Galleon. It seemed to have been patched up. Compared to how it looked, last time he was there, but galleon still looked as though it has seen better days. There might be a good chance that Donkey might still be on the ship...and if not, there had to be a clue about where he was, at least.
"Hey, Funky...any chance we could get a better look at that ship?" Diddy asked, curiously.
"I dunno, Diddy dude," Funky replied, "Doesn't it seem a little dangerous?"
"I think I know what he wants," Dixie said, "He wants to try to look for clues, right, Diddy?"
"Well...I guess you could say that," Diddy said, he looked at Funky, "Do you think you could land near the galleon?"
"I'll have to see," Funky said, "You gotta remember that from this point on, you'll be in enemy territory."
"All right," Diddy said, "tell Cranky and Wrinkly where we are."
"You got it, dudes!"
The plane hovered behind the ship, out of sight from the Kremlings...Why the plane hovered, the Kongs have no idea. Diddy and Dixie climbed out of the plane, on to the Galleon.
"I'll be back to look for you guys, later," Funky said, "Are ya absolutely sure you wanna go through with this?"
"Of course I am," Diddy replied, "I'll see you guys, later."
Funky nodded, he flew away from the ship, leaving the younger Kongs to explore. Diddy and Dixie were both waving at Funky, "I hope he'll be OK." Dixie said with concern.
"He'll be fine," Diddy said, "Now let's go."
From what Diddy could tell, there weren't too many Kremlings, It would be easy to get through the ship, find Donkey and go home...Although, they were still Kremlings, so the Kongs needed to be careful at all costs.
"C'mon," Dixie said, pulling Diddy's arm, "This way!" Dixie lead Diddy behind three boxes, they were only slightly taller than the two Kong children. There were two Kremlings in front of the Captain's cabin, one of them was mopping while another was drinking rum from a bottle. The lizards both seemed rather bored.
"I wonder what Klubba's been up to?" The mopping Kremling asked, the other Kremling shrugged, "I'd say he's jealous of King K. Rool."
"How is Klubba jealous, it's obvious he doesn't like him."
"Well, King K. Rool gets to torture Donkey as much as he pleases, now...wouldn't you be jealous, too?"
Diddy trembled in rage, he tried to run after the Kremlings, but Dixie held him back, putting a hand on his mouth, "Shh!"
"No," The Kremlings continued their conversation, "I don't care all that much about the Kongs, to be honest."
"Huh...to each their own, I guess."
Dixie released Diddy, the primates wondered how they were going to get rid of the Kremlings. Diddy saw a rat walking by them, it looked like it was looking for food to eat. The monkey picked the rat up by its tail, "Sorry..."
The Kremlings continued to talk, unaware of the two intruders. "Of course, If K. Rool does happen to take over Kongo Bongo, I'm checkin' out the mou-"
"WHEEEEEEE!" A rat was flying by the two Kremlings, the crocodiles looked confused.
"Was that rat flying?" One of them asked.
"I dunno, let's check it out!" Afterwards, the Kremlings both went after the rat, Diddy peaked his head out from behind the boxes, "All clear," The monkey whispered, Diddy and Dixie came out from the crates, heading into the cabin.
"Hey!" The monkeys cringed, looking around for the source of that voice...however, it was a burly Kremling marching over to the other two Kremlings. "So you're the one stealing my rum!"
"No I wasn't," the other Kremling argued, hiding the bottle of him behind his back, The burly Kremling rolled his eyes, "Sure, and I'm the King of Hyrule."
Diddy and Dixie sighed in relief as they entered the cabin, leaving the Kremlings to argue as much as they want. The captain's cabin, had four small windows, six pictures on the wall, one of them was a picture of King K. Rool, one looked like a viking Walrus surrounded by other vikings (mostly penguins and hares), and some of the other pictures were random pictures of Kremlings. There was an old desk, in the middle of the room, it was littered with different notes and drawings. A broken lamp was sitting next to a wardrobe, where a couple of dirty outfits were hanging out from.
The Kongs came up to the old desk. They tried opening one of the drawers, but it looked like the old desk was locked. Diddy frowned, "You wouldn't happen to know where the key is, right?"
"I wouldn't know, " Dixie said, shrugging, "Your guess is as good as mine."
"Well, let's see what brute force can do?" Diddy began to pull at the desk drawer, he pulled it with all his might, but the drawer wouldn't budge. Dixie examined the room, the picture of K. Rool was sticking out, slightly while the other pictures were laying flat on the wall. She removed the picture of K. Rool and found a broken safe.
"Diddy, look at this!" Diddy stopped pulling at the drawer, he looked at the safe, it seemed to have suffered from the crash after he and Donkey defeated K. Rool. As the Kongs opened the safe, all that was there was an old notebook.
"What do you think's in it?" Dixie asked.
"I dunno," Diddy replied, "But I think we might find some clues, in here."
"Well, what are you waiting for? Open it, already!"
The two of them began to skim through the pages, looking for any interesting details. It spoke of how the Kremlings once had an alliance with a group called Snomads (which didn't last long, since K. Rool "borrowed" some moves from a fellow named Lord Fredrick), it also seemed to speak of how lucky the Kremlings were to take the Banana Hoard when Diddy was guarding it (much to Diddy's annoyance). Finally, they saw something on the last page, something really interesting.
For whatever reason, Donkey and his nephew managed to make it on my ship, alive. The plan was simple, once I defeat Donkey, I'd rule the island. As for that little rat of his, I'd use him as a new fur coat...or a new rug...or something.
So once I was close to beating Donkey, His nephew threw a cannonball at me, he somehow managed to knock me out. I'm actually kind of impress, Donkey seemed to have raised him well, but regardless, it won't stop us from coming back. Krusha came up with a briliant idea. It seems risky, but we'll find a way to pull it off. Once everything calms down on Kongo Bongo, we'll finally be able to kidnap Donkey Kong. And afterwards, the other Kongs will HAVE to surrender to me. At last, I'll finally be able to expand my kingdom.
"That jerk," Diddy growled, "So K. Rool thinks we're still not strong enough to-"
The door opened, a Kremling with a pegleg and an eyepatch came in, The Kongs stared at him for a good 5 seconds until the Kremling ran outside, yelling.
"KONGS! THERE ARE KONGS ON THE SHIP!"
Diddy and Dixie panicked, they dropped the notebook and ran outside of the Captain's cabin. Kremlings were already gathering around them, in an attempt to trap the Kongs. They were getting closer and closer to the two primates, it seemed like the Kong children wouldn't make it. Diddy was terrified, Dammit, I thought for sure they wouldn't find us!
Dixie tugged on Diddy's shirt. "Grab my hand!"
The monkey looked shocked. "Now's not the time for-"
"Just do it!"
"Fine," Diddy grabbed the gorilla girl's hand. She began to run at full speed towards the Kremlings.
"Wh-what're you doing!?" Diddy asked in a shocked tone.
"I'll explain later," Dixie yelled, "Now jump!"
"What!?"
"Just jump!"
Again, Diddy did as he was told, Dixie jumped along with him. However, Dixie was using her ponytail as a helicopter to hover over the Kremlings. The duo landed on their feet, safely. Diddy was still rather suprised. Dixie was much braver then he expected. How did she do that?
"After them!" The Kremlings yelled, the Kongs panicked, they couldn't just jump in the water, and they didn't want to get captured by the Kremlings, either, they had no other choice but to climb the main brace, into the crow's nest. As the Kongs climbed the ropes of the main brace, the Kremlings shook their heads, finding this amusing.
"What a surprise, we didn't even have to kill them," one of the Kremlings said, smugly.
"Yep, they're climbin' to their deaths." another Kremling chimed in.
"How 'bout we scare them a bit," another Kremling suggested, taking out his gun. Diddy and Dixie continued to climb the ropes on the ship, they figured they would make it out alive if they came to the crow's nest and hid, for a while until the Kremlings calmed down. It was a bit safer then being down where the Kremling could get you.
"Ssso, you two mussst be the Kongsss..." Diddy looked up, a snake was sitting on a rope over his head. Unlike the snakes in Kongo Bongo, this one appeared to be a rattle snake. He was green with red stripes on his back and had a yellow belly. Diddy wasn't sure whether or not to trust the snake, but as this point, he needed the help.
"Well, we're trying to get out of here," Diddy said, "We need to look for someone, but for now, we're trying to get to the Crow's nest."
"That isssn't a wissse choiccce, lad," The snake warned, "If you asssk me, you would've been better off on your island."
"But I wanna save-" Gunshots were heard, underneath. Diddy cringed in fear of being hit. It was moments like this where he wished Donkey was here, but he had to remember it was just him and Dixie.
"C'mon," Dixie said, catching up to Diddy, "We gotta get outta here," Diddy nodded nervously, he and Dixie were determined to climb to the top, no matter what it took. "You two have been warned," the snake yelled.
Diddy and Dixie continued to climb the ropes, trying to avoid the gunshots. One false move could mean instant death. One of the bullets almost hit Diddy's arm while another almost shot Dixie in the head, Each bullet was almost like trying to dodge rain.
Diddy climbed into the Crow's nest, he grabbed Dixie's hand and pulled her over. She involuntarily hugged the little monkey out of fear. The Kremlings finally stopped shooting at the Kongs, it seemed like they were expecting a show.
"Hey, Dixie, are you OK?" Diddy asked, hugging her back. Dixie nodded. "I-I'll be fine,"
The Kongs let go of each other. Dixie sighed, "I just hope I'm not slowing you down."
"Of course not," Diddy said, chuckling. "Besides, you've got that ponytail...thingy..."
The Kongs looked around, the Crow's nest was literally a nest, they could see a few eggs, roughly the same size as the barrels in Kongo Bongo. Both Kongs seemed to find it a little odd, maybe this was one of the things the snake was warning them about, but they didn't look dangerous, they were just ordinary eggs.
Still, Diddy was a curious little monkey. Hecame a little closer to the eggs, they might be a trap of some sort, or maybe they're food for the Kremlings. Either way, the monkey couldn't tell.
"Oh, well aren't you two generous," a voice sang, "It has been quite a while since I had monkey for breakfast."
A Necky Vulture came in front of the Kongs, it was a large Necky, three times the size as Diddy and Dixie. his talons had dry blood on them, his eyes filled with madness. Unlike the Neckies in Kongo Bongo, this one wore a pirate's hat and a belt. Diddy glared at the bird. "Who are you?"
"I am Krow," The Necky replied, "And you two shouldn't have come here!"
"For crying out loud, the last thing I need is to fight an overgrown chicken!" Diddy yelled. Krow looked down at the monkey, he gave Diddy a look that made him regret calling him a chicken.
"You insolent little brat, it looks like I'll have to teach you a lesson!" Krow began to fly into the sky, he dived down to where the Kongs were, Diddy and Dixie ran in opposite directions, they were able to dodge the attack, but the two Kongs were slightly shaken.
"Wh-what do we do, now!?" Dixie asked in a panicked tone, Diddy was no better, "D-don't worry, I-I'll think of somethin'!"
Diddy tried to think back to the incident on Kongo Bongo, this Necky wasn't like the other Neckies, at home, but then he looked at the eggs, they were the closest thing he could use for barrels. Thinking about it, beating Krow would be like beating Queen B. in Vine Valley.
Diddy threw the egg at Krow, The Necky had yolk on his face. Enraged, The Necky attacked Diddy at full force. The monkey ran, but Krow managed to give Diddy three large gashes on his back. The monkey grunted in pain, he wondered if he was going to make it out, alive.
Krow picked him up with his talons, "How dare you treat my eggs as rocks, now I'll have to teach you a lesson you will never forget!"
Diddy struggled to get free from the Necky's talons, but he was in too much pain, not too mention that he was about 20 feet in the air. His heart was beating like an uncontrollable drum, he's felt fear, plenty of times, but this was too much for the little monkey.
Dixie panicked, she grabbed one of the eggs, waiting for Krow to return. Krow released Diddy, the monkey landed harshly onto his back. Slightly stunned, his ears were ringing, his vision began to turn fuzzy. He could barely move.
The bird tried to grab Dixie, but was he was hit in the face with another eggs. "How dare you!" Krow yelled, "You're just as bad as the other monkey!"
"Y-Yeah, well, at least I wasn't the one who started it!" Dixie tried to hide her fear, but it didn't seem to be working. Krow tried to attack Dixie, the ape dodged, but Krow was so close to attacking her, she fell backwards.
In a state of panic, Dixie grabbed one more egg from the pile. She threw it at Krow, The Necky was dizzy, he couldn't tell which way he was going, "Damn you, Kongs!"
Dixie ran back to Diddy, The monkey wasn't moving, but he was still breathing, "Are you OK?"
Diddy was passed out, All Dixie could do was panic, she never ment for Diddy to get hurt, badly.
"Come on," Dixie yelled, she began to shake Diddy, "Wake up, you can't just-"
Krow was confused, he hurt himself from the confusion by flying into the Crow's nest. However, he really wanted to get rid of the Kongs. Dixie's fear quickly turned into rage.
"You stupid bird!" She yelled, she grabbed one of the eggs, throwing it at Krow. "I've had enough of you!"
The bird was hit with the egg, he just couldn't fight, anymore. I'll have my revenge, Kongs...
Krow fell through the ship, dead. Dixie looked back at Diddy. He was alive, thankfully. All Dixie could feel was guilt, she wasn't expecting Diddy to get hurt, so easily, the little ape thought she was a bad sidekick, Diddy would still be fine, if it wasn't for her.
She was fighting back a few tears, She shook her head, No, Dixie, you can't feel sorry for yourself, Diddy comes first!
The whole Galleon was falling apart. The Kremlings on the ship were running for their lives, many of the Kremlings jumped into the water, others were shouting and calling out for the Kremlings who were still on the ship. Dixie had no way to tell where they were going, now. It seemed like the end for both Kongs as they began to fall along with the ship.
Wood and metal fell everywhere, the Gangplank Galleon was no more. Something was coming up from the water, Dixie came out coughing. She was holding on to a blue swordfish in one hand and held on to Diddy with the other.
The Swordfish swam a short distance, he seemed like he was helping the Kongs, Dixie looked at her unconscious friend, it seemed like he hardly had enough strength to move on.
"Dixie-dude?!"
Dixie looked over to the island, she could see Funky, Cranky, and Wrinkly standing on a beach, all of them looked concerned for the two Kongs. The swordfish came to a full stop, letting Dixie reach the surface, she dragged Diddy out of the water. The gorilla girl began to yell, "Guys, help me! Diddy's hurt!"
"Oh my," Wrinkly ran up to the Kongs and scooped Diddy in her arms, she looked down at Dixie, "Did that bird hurt you, too?"
Dixie was about to speak.
"Yes, we've seen the whole thing from down here," Cranky interrupted, Dixie pouted, "As I was saying, no, but I'm a little more worried about Diddy."
"All right, we'd better take him inside before he kicks the bucket," Funky said as he and Wrinkly ran into a cabin. Dixie looked up at Cranky. "Do you think he'll be OK?"
"I'm sure he will, kid," Cranky said, reassuringly.
Dixie frowned, "How can you tell?"
"Because," Cranky crossed his arms, "Do you seriously think the author of this fanfiction would WANT to kill him?"
"You have a point," Dixie said, calming herself down.
...I don't know, Cranky...some people have actually killed off their favorite characters, before.
Oh, c'mon, we know you wouldn't be able to do it, kid, you're too weak...
SO IT WAS YOU!
...That aside, I'll continue this fanfiction, tomorrow (I'm feeling pretty motivated)
Seriously, back in my day, we read books, we didn't need these so-called "Fanfictions".
Get outta here, Cranky!
