Here, have a filler...
"What's the matter, child? suprised to see me?"
Diddy snapped out of his trance, looking at Krow, "N-no way, why are you here, in the first place?"
"Well...I thought our last fight was unfair, so now I want to have a rematch."
"All right, no problem," Dixie said, sounding excited, "we can take you anyday."
Krow couldn't help but laugh, "You don't understand...when I say our fight was 'unfair', I mean it was only because you tossed my eggs at me. This time, however, there won't be any egg throwing."
"How is that fair?" Diddy asked, "You almost killed me, back there!"
"Yes, and I would've killed you if it wasn't for the little she-gorilla," Krow said, pointing a feather at Dixie. "Now...if you win, you may leave this place. But if you lose, however, then you shall wander this forest for the rest of eternity."
Diddy began to tremble, No way, there's no way I wanna fight him, again...He could just kill me off, right now!
"Diddy," Dixie gave him a sympathetic look, "I know your scared, but remember the fights we've had with Kudgel and King Zing? You didn't back down from them."
Diddy stared at her, "What are you getting at?"
"Be brave, Diddy," That was all Dixie had to say. Diddy nodded, yet having to fight Krow still made him uneasy, especially knowing he was going to fight the same enemy who could have a chance to kill him.
"All right, Kongs, you know what you're doing, right?"
Diddy nodded, he looked at the dagger in his hand, even with something as simple as a dagger, he was still afraid. Afraid he would never see Donkey or Dixie, again, afraid he never have a chance to grow up and become a king like his uncle..
Krow began to flap his wings, hovering above the crates, "Well, without further ado, let us begin!"
Krow flew high into the air, then he dived down after the two Kongs. Diddy managed to dodge, but Krow managed to destroy Dixie's backpack, items have fallen out, everywhere.
"Watch what you're doing, you dumb bird!" Dixie yelled. Krow began to dive, again. Dixie stood there, frozen in fear as Krow targeted her. Oh how she wished she hadn't have said that.
"Look out!" Diddy yelled as he pushed Dixie out of the way, he recieved a small gash on his arm.
Dixie looked up at Krow, then she looked at Diddy, who was slowly stood up, holding his arm.
"Are you OK?" She asked. Diddy nodded, "I'll be fine..."
Krow began to charge at the Kongs, they both ducked. Diddy looked at Dixie, "How did you beat him, last time?"
"I threw eggs at him," Dixie said as though it was the simplest thing, ever.
"Well, do you have any plans?" Diddy asked, Dixie shook her head, "No, sorry...but maybe you should come up with something, you're the one with the weapon!"
Krow charged at the Kongs, again, he grabbed Diddy with his talons. Dixie grabbed onto his tail feathers before he flew off.
The undead necky looked down at Diddy, he was struggling to get himself free. Krow released a small chuckle, "Since you're the weaker one, I'll take you down, first!"
"Let him go!" Dixie yelled, climbing onto Krow's back. The Necky looked back, giving her a strange look, "How did you get on my back?" He shook his head, "No matter, I suppose you two can die, together."
Krow released Diddy, expecting him to fall to the ground like last time...however, the little monkey was clinging onto Krow's toe, he started scratching the vulture's foot using his dagger. Krow screamed in pain, he was trying to lose the monkey. "Release me, this instant, you little brat!"
Soon, afterwards, Dixie began pounding on Krow's head, "We've traveled so far into this island, did you think we would be that weak!?
Krow corkscrewed through the air, losing both primates. Dixie grabbed onto Diddy's hand while landing afely onto the crates.
"What, now?" Dixie asked?
"I need you to get his attention," Diddy said, "If you do that, I can hurt him even more."
Dixie nodded. She could tell something was different about Diddy, he seemed slightly...braver then he was, before.
Dixie ran over to the edge of the crate, "Hey, Krow! I saw pigeons that could fight better than you!"
"Oh, so you automatically think you're better than me!?" Krow asked in rage, "Well, I'll show you who's better as soon as you're dead!"
Krow charged after Dixie, he came so close until Diddy jumped onto his back. Krow flapped his wings, helplessly, "What is the meaning of this!?"
"So, Krow...you remember the weak little monkey you tried to kill?" Diddy asked in a cheerful voice, though his expression was anything but cheerful. Diddy began to slash his dagger on the vulture's back.
"You know, that monkey and his friend had to go through a volcano, get tied up by Kremlings, get kidnapped by Kremlings, get dropped into a wasp's nest, get attacked by ghosts, all because they want to rescue a fellow Kong of theirs!"
Krow had many scratches, more of his feathers have fallen off. He flew upside-down, trying to lose Diddy, "Get off me you little brat!"
"So...do you still think I'm weak?" Diddy asked, clinging onto Krow's back. He stabbed the Necky, causing Krow to plummit into the earth. The duo crashed onto a couple of crates.
"Diddy!" Dixie called out to her friend. Diddy was underneath Krow, dazed and confused.
No, no, no, not this, again, Dixie said to herself, she pulled the monkey out from underneath Krow, "Are you OK?"
"Of beat I am," Diddy slurred, struggling to stand up, he could see stars and planets circling his head, "I was able to course Dixie, Krow," That was all he said before collapsing onto the ground, his whole body was aching, like it was crushed by a boulder.
"Hehehe..."
Dixie looked up at Krow, it seemed like he was disappearing, "Who would've thought a couple of children like you were able to defeat me a second time? I guess I should've thought this through instead of assuming you were weak..."
Those were Krow's last words before he disappeared for good. Dixie took off her now-useless back pack, she looked over at Diddy, who was laying on down on the floor.
"You OK?" Dixie asked.
"Ow..." Diddy sat up, slowly, "Aside from a few places I never knew could hurt, I'm fine."
"What about that?" Dixie asked, pointing to the wound on Diddy's arm, the monkey shrugged, "I think that's the least of my worries."
"Well, it's nice to know you're OK," Dixie said, hugging Diddy, "I don't know what I'd do without you."
Diddy hugged her back, "Well, the feeling is mutual, I guess..."
Both Kongs let go of each other, Dixie picked up Diddy's dagger from the ground and handed it to the little monkey, "Come on, we've got a little while before we rescue Donkey."
Diddy nodded as Dixie helped him stand up. They needed to keep moving.
Back in K. Rool's Keep, the Kremlings were getting themselves ready for Diddy and Dixie. K. Rool pulled out his blunderbuss, he had Screech sit on his shoulder. The Kremlings scattered around him.
"All right, gentlemen, we all know what our next plan is, right?"
Most of the Kremlings nodded...except for a yellow Kremling.
"Sir, don't you think this is a bit much? They're just kids."
"So what if they're just kids?" K. Rool growled, "they wold be just fine if they hadn't come here, in the first place!"
"But sir-"
"Be quiet!" Screech yelled, "You should know better then to interrupt the Kaptain!"
"Now, remember, everyone...we want these kids, alive for this plan to work. So take it easy on them!"
"YES, SIR!" the Kremlings yelled, scattering around the castle, K. Rool began to head into the highest room, laughing like the bastard he was, There's no way those Kongs will win, not while I'm around!
The remaining area of Gloomy Gulch was indeed gloomy, most of the plants were dead, only the soft moaning of ghosts could be heard, which could send a chill down someone's spine. However, much to the Kongs' relief, the ghosts have stopped playing tricks on them.
Diddy was feeling somewhat bittersweet, sure, he was finally going to be the hero, and he was almost ready to rescue Donkey, but something still didn't seem right.
Dixie tapped him on the shoulder, "Something wrong?"
The monkey didn't say anything. Dixie gave him an unsatisfied look, "I know something's wrong, you may as well spit it out, already."
"Well, what if we don't rescue DK?" Diddy asked, "I mean, think about it, we were almost killed a few times. What makes you think K. Rool won't kill us on the spot?
"Oh, you're just overthinking things," Dixie said, keeping a positive attitude, "We may not know what happens, next, but just try to stay positive, something good is bound to happen.
Diddy nodded, though he still wasn't sure about the whole thing. K. Rool was unpredictable, and he really didn't want to deal with the overgrown crocodile.
"Diddy, look!"
The monkeys looked up, in front of them was the castle-like building...K. Rool's Keep.
"We-we're finally here?" Diddy stuttered. This was it, the final step into becoming a hero...and the final step to rescuing Donkey Kong.
Dixie grabbed onto Diddy's hand, she began to run into the entrance. "What are we waiting for? Let's go!"
That was an interesting filler, it seems the Kongs have finally made it...but what's going to happen next?
Welp, that's it, for now...
