...I really need to stop playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf for a moment and concentrate on this story...shouldn't I?

Anyway, TC's back with another chapter, sorry for keeping you folks waiting.


K. Rool was humming happily to himself, flying around in his airborne ship, known as the Flying Krock. He was delighted, he managed to defeat the Kongs, or so he thought.

In the back of the Flying Krock, Donkey was sitting down, still tied up and unable to move his arms. A lot of negative thoughts were going through his mind. Diddy and Dixie were probably dead, the Kongs back home were going to starve, and chances are K. Rool was going to take over the island.

"Why the long face?" K. Rool asked, looking back at the big ape, "I did say I'd let you see your nephew's face, one more time, so why are you so upset?"

Donkey ignored him. He looked off to the side, not even wanting to LOOK at K. Rool.

"Don't worry, Donkey Kong, I might let you live...just as long as you do as I say."

"No way," Donkey said in a low growl, "You can go fuck yourself for all I care!"

K. Rool scowled, his eyes were like daggers piercing into Donkey's skin.

"Back to that again, I see..." He started to push a few buttons, making the Flying Krock go into autopilot. He pulled out his blunderbuss and whacked Donkey a few times, giving him even more cuts and bruises. Afterwards, he pointed the end of it near Donkey's chest, threatening to shoot him, "Don't even try to fight back. The next time you do so, I'm ending your life!"

Donkey stared at him with wide, frightened eyes. Obviously, he did want to fight back, given that Diddy and Dixie might've lost their lives trying to rescue him, but was it really worth it? Would it be worth dying by the hands of K. Rool.

The ape looked down in defeat, "OK...You win."

"Giving up, already? That doesn't sound anything like you, Donkey Kong," K. Rool teased as he put his blunderbuss away, "But no matter, I've won the battle, and that's all that matters."

Donkey released a deep sigh, it was sad to see how such a strong leader has been reduced to being a prisoner to the Kremlings. It seemed all hope was lost, there was nothing Donkey could do, now.


Diddy and Dixie have left K. Rool's Keep and began to make their way over to the Flying Krock. There were brambles around K. Rool's Keep, they practically made things harder for Squawks to get through. Strangely enough, there was a latter hanging out from the bottom of the Flying Krock.

Squawks was holding onto Rattly, who in return, was hanging onto Diddy and Dixie.

Rattly looked down at the Kongs with a blank face, "Ssso, sssince you two are going to be fighting K. Rool, I don't have much adviccce to give."

"Well, could you give us some, anyway?" Diddy asked, trying to sound polite, "We're gonna need something."

"All right, " Rattly said, "whatever you two decccide to do, look out for K. Rool'sss blunderbusss."

"What's a blunderbuss?" Diddy asked, confused.

"It's a type of gun," Dixie answered.

That doesn't sound too bad...wait, A GUN!? Diddy was nervous, out of all the things he had to deal with, K. Rool with a gun was probably worse than he could imagine. However, a voice in his head kept telling him that he needed to keep going. Regardless of what happens, Donkey and Dixie came first.

Squawks had released Rattly onto the latter while Rattly had tossed Diddy and Dixie, above him.

"Now, remember, you two, be careful," Squawks advised. Diddy nodded, "All right, thank yo-"

A brown blurr flew by the animals, trying to get Diddy and Dixie to fall off. Screech was looking at them with cold-blooded eyes.

"Well, I thought there was another parrot," Screech chriped, "but I wasn't completely aware that you betrayed us, Rattly. You and that pathetic excuse for a spider."

"Keep going, you're almossst there," Rattly said to the Kongs. Diddy and Dixie nodded, climbing up the latter. The rattlesnake looked over at Screech, "You know asss well asss I do that K. Rool treatsss us like junk. He only givesss you ssspecial treatment because he thought you could play an important role in the ransssom."

"He gave me special treatment because I'm the favorite...and I don't sit around on my tail, all day," Screech retorted. He began to charge after Diddy and Dixie, but Squawks got into his way and scratched him with one of his talons.

"Stay away from them!" Squawks yelled, his feathers ruffled. The Kongs successfully made it into the Flying Krock. Screech was furious, "Fine, if I can't kill them, I'll kill you, instead!"

The brown parrot scratched Squawks on his chest. Afterwards, Squawks started to spit eggs at Screech. Rattly just stayed on the latter, watching as the two parrots fought, left and right. They were like a couple of wild dogs, fighting over a rabbit.

Screech flew into squawks, trying to make him hit the brambles. The parrot helplessly flapped his wings, oh how he didn't want to be near those thorny plants.

"Well, it looks like the end for you," Screech chirped.

"Urgh...th-that's what you think..."

Squawks dived through the air. Then he swiftly flapped his wings and tackled Screech from behind, sending him into the brambles.

"Heh, you're not bad for a parrot," Rattly said in amusement. Squawks nodded, sitting down on top of the Flying Krock, "I'm getting too old for this..."

"Believe me, it can only get better from here," Rattly said, joining Squawks on top of the Flying Krock.


As Squawks was fighting Screech, Diddy and Dixie made it inside the Flying Krock. Diddy was looking outside the window, he's never seen Squawks behave so violently, before.

"Diddy."

The monkey looked behind him, Dixie was looking through a window to a different room. K. Rool was all the way in the front of the room, controlling the Flying Krock. Near the door, however, was Donkey Kong. He had a hopeless expression on his face. And in addition to the new bruises on the big ape, Diddy began to feel slightly uneasy about dealing with K. Rool.

"Hey, Dixie?"

"Yeah?"

"I-If I die, then-"

"Nobody's going to die," Dixie reassured him. "If you can knock out K. Rool, back then, then you can definitely do it, again."

"Hmm..." Diddy continued to stare at the window. "I think it would be a lot safer if we freed DK, first." He pulled his dagger out from his back pack. "Plus, I'm pretty sure he looks kinda miserable, so it's only fair."

"All right," Dixie began to count with her fingers, "3...2...1..."

She slowly opened the door, allowing Diddy to peak his head out. Donkey looked over at his side, shocked to see Diddy was still alive. The little monkey placed a finger on his lips, telling Donkey to be quiet.

"How did you guys make it here?" Donkey asked in a hushed voice, "I thought you were dead!"

"We'll talk about that, later," Diddy whispered back as he began cutting one of the ropes with his dagger, "We still have to get you out of here!"

K. Rool noticed the whispering, "What's gotten into you, Donkey Kong?" He slowly turned around, "Are you-"

Diddy paused, he only managed to break one of the ropes. He began to tremble, K. Rool was staring right at him.

"What do you think you're doing!?" K. Rool growled as he grabbed Diddy by the arm, pulling the helpless monkey away from his uncle.

"DK, Help!" Diddy cried out in fear. Donkey tried to struggle, again, but even though the ropes were looser, he still couldn't move.

"You think you're so clever," K. Rool bellowed, furiously, "You think just because you avoided Kerozene that makes you strong?"

"Well, you know what I think!?" Diddy asked, kicking K. Rool in the shin, afterwards, "I'm already strong, and no croc's gonna tell me, otherwise!"

K. Rool released Diddy and held his shin, jumping, "You little brat, I'll make you pay for this!"

While K. Rool was distracted with Diddy, Dixie came into the room, she jumped onto K. Rool's back, "Didn't expect to see me, huh?"

K. Rool struggled to get her off, he reached for his blunderbuss, "So if you two wanna play rough, I'll have to kill you, myself!"

"Get away from them!" Donkey shouted, "As soon as I get outta these ropes, I swear I'll kick your ass!"

K. Rool aimed his blunderbuss at Diddy, cannonballs flew out of it. He began to dodge them, some of them nearly missed his head.

"Hey, over hear!" Dixie yelled, climbing onto K. Rool's back, yet again. She rapidly began attacking him using her powerful ponytail.

"Hey, Diddy!" Donkey called out, getting the monkey's attention. Diddy came over to him, wanting to know what he wanted.

"I know a trick to beating King K. Rool," He whispered.

"You do?" Diddy asked. Donkey nodded, he started grinning, "First I need you to cut off another rope."

Diddy nodded, cutting of a second piece of the rope. Donkey was able to move his arms, again, but only slightly.

"Hurry up, you two!" Dixie yelled, still pounding on K. Rool, "I can't keep this up, forever!"

"Now what?" Diddy asked.

"Give me your dagger!"

"What?" Diddy began to sound scared, "B-but why?"

"You'll see, Little buddy," Donkey said. Diddy frowned, "But this thing's been one of the things keeping me alive."

"I understand, Diddy, and it still will be, just give me the dagger."

Diddy nodded, he reluctantly placed the dagger in Donkey's hand. Donkey looked over at K. Rool, the Kremling threw Dixie off his back, knocking the gorilla girl into the window.

"What now?" Diddy asked.

"Throw a cannonball at him, you'll slow him down!" Donkey advised, "Now hurry up, Dixie needs ya!"

Diddy turned to face K. Rool, he ran over to Dixie's side, wanting to protect her. While Rool was distracted, Donkey started cutting the ropes off him, himself.

"So, it seems little Diddy really wants to be like his dear uncle," K. Rool said in a playful tone, he pointed his blunderbuss at Diddy, "But there's no way I'm losing to a wannabe hero like you!"

K. Rool started shooting spiked cannonballs at the Kongs. Diddy ran over to the left, Dixie ran over to the right, trying their best to confuse the Kremling.

"I've had enough of this!" K. Rool growled, he pointed his blunderbuss at Dixie. However, his blunderbuss began sucking her into his direction like a vacuüm.

Dixie tried to fight back, she grabbed onto a random lever, trying to keep away from him. Diddy leapt in front of Dixie with a cannonball in his hands. He threw it at K. Rool, which, not surprisingly, the cannonball was lodged into the blunderbuss.

Confused, K. Rool tried to free it, which not only resulted in the blundeerbuss shooting the cannonball out of it, but it ended up knocking K. Rool back against the wall, the mad Kremling blinked a few times, he was covered in soot.

"You think that killed him?" Diddy asked.

"Don't fall for it!" Donkey called out, "Remember last time he played dead on us and he tried to kill me?"

Diddy felt like there was a lump on his throat, " K. Rool slowly stood up, aiming the blunderbuss near the ceiling, "Just a minor setback, but do you think you can dodge something like this?"

He began to shoot spiked cannonballs at the Kongs. They were like basketballs, bouncing off the floor. One of them managed to hit Dixie near her leg while another scratched Diddy near his shoulder. After dodging so many cannonballs, Diddy fell onto the floor, unable to keep up.

"I have you, now!" K. Rool said in a menacing voice. Again, he began to use his blunderbuss like a vacuüm. Diddy slid across the floor, boy was this vacuüm strong.

Before K. Rool had a chance to hit him, Dixie jumped in the way and threw the cannonball at K. Rool. Again, the cannonball unlocked itself, making K. Rool hit another part of the wall, his body was covered in soot, yet again.

"That was a close one," Diddy commented.

"Y-Yeah," Dixie said, trying to stand up. Diddy noticed her leg was bleeding.

"Are you OK!?" Diddy asked in shock, Dixie nodded, "I'll worry about that, later."

"Or, you'll get out of my way," K. Rool said, standing up. He stood up and knocked Dixie out-of-the-way, landing her near the controls.

"Dixie!" Diddy called out before K. Rool struck him in the stomach, sending him against the wall. He had the wind knocked out of him, he was unable to move, it was hurting him to breathe.

K. Rool began to laugh, heartlessly, walking up to the little monkey, "Well, that settles that, but don't feel bad, this will only take a second."

Diddy tried to stand up, he was leaning against the wall. He jumped when he noticed the blunderbuss was right near his face, he only stared at it, feeling something beyond fear, his life was about to end, right here. If only he could've lived a lot longer, if only he could live to become a strong King like Donkey.

"Farewell, Diddy Kong," K. Rool said. Diddy cringed, he was waiting for the end to happen. But before K. Rool had a chance to kill him, someone grabbed K. Rool's arms from behind.

Diddy slowly opened his eyes, wondering what was going on. K. Rool was being attacked, himself...by Donkey Kong.

Donkey was holding K. Rool's head, beating him with the other arm. "I told you I'd kick your ass!"

"Don't waste your breathe, you filthy primate!" K. Rool growled, he elbowed Donkey in the ribs, making the ape release him. K. Rool pointed his blunderbuss at Donkey, threatening to shoot. Donkey growled, he was like a papa wolf trying to protect his pups. In otherwords, he was furious.

K. Rool started shooting at the ape, who ducked from the attack. Donkey ran after him and head-butted the croc. The ape got himself ready to punch K. Rool. With one swift hit, he knocked K. Rool out from the ceiling.

Diddy stood up, looking at the big ape in awe. The Donkey came over to the corner where he used to sat and picked the dagger from the pile of ropes. He came over to Diddy and handed him the dagger, "I believe this is yours."

Diddy felt like he was going to hyperventilate. After such a long journey, he was finally able to see his uncle, once more. The little monkey jumped into Donkey's arms, crying into his shoulder.

"Easy, kid," Donkey said, holding Diddy with one arm, "I'm still kinda bruised, here." Still, he was very happy to see Diddy, and even happier that he and Dixie went through so much trouble to rescue him.

...And speaking of which...

Dixie stood up, looking through the window, she appeared to be deep in thought. Donkey came over the gorilla girl and tapped her shoulder.

"So, I see you're a little adventurer, as well." The ape said, happily. Dixie turned her head, she didn't know what to say.

"You know, kid, you look different without that pink hat, on," Donkey teased. Dixie nodded, "It's a beret, actually."

Diddy began to wiped his tears away from his face. He got out of Donkey's arms and hugged Dixie, "Thank you..."

"For what?" Dixie asked, confused.

"I-If it weren't for y-you, I wouldn't be h-here, and neither would DK," He admitted, sobbing a couple of times, he let go of Dixie, "S-so, to put it in other words..."

Dixie frowned, wondering what he was going to say. "Well? Spit it out!"

"I-I...I love you..."

Dixie gave him a warm smile, she hugged him back, nearly squeezing the air out of his lungs. She gave him a kiss on the cheek, "I love you too."

"Hey, guys?" the younger Kongs looked at Donkey, who seemed worried, "Does anyone know how to fly a ship?"

There was suddenly a bunch of rumbling, the Flying Krock could no longer fly, it began to fall. The three Kongs screamed in fear, not knowing what was going to happen to them.

Diddy raced over to the controls, there was a small steering wheel and a couple other controls.

Dammit, where's Bumper when you need him? Diddy asked himself, he grabbed the steering wheel, aiming it towards Crocodile Island, "Hang on, guys!"

Outside of the Flying Krock, K. Rool was hanging onto a later, shooting the ship with cannonballs. "This should teach you to mess with us, you mangy fleabags."

K. Rool took out a parachute, he let go of the latter while sky diving into Crocodile Isand.


Back on the Beach, Cranky, Wrinkly, Funky, Candy, and Swanky were all looking at the sky, the Flying Krock was going to crash into the island.

"Funky, I need you to take everyone else home," Cranky commanded. Funky frowned, "You sure about that? What about you and the other dudes that're still here?"

"We'll be fine" Cranky said, racing over to the direction where the Flying Krock was going to land. "Now hurry up and get outta here!"


Meanwhile, at the Lost World entrance, Klubba was looking up at the Flying Krock. He couldn't believe what was happening, someone actually managed to knock out K. Rool.

"Outta my way!" Cranky yelled, running by Klubba without a second thought. Klubba only stared at the ape as he kept going.

The Flying Krock crashed, afterwards. The Kremling only stared at the Lost World, puzzled.

"I need t' lay off th' rum."


Well, it appears we're almost done.

Yep, I at least wanted to fit the Lost World in there, somewhere...but on the bright side, DK finally got rescued.

So...bye-bye, for now.
