Chapter 5

Morning on the Isle

The sun was starting to rise over the ocean horizon. In the tree house in the sun cave, asleep were an ape, two dragons, and a dragon fly. Suddenly, a knocking came from the door. The ape shot up and out of his cot, the dragons also awoke with a shock from the sound coming from the door.

"DK? DK are you in there?" A voice from behind the door said.

"Oh no, Diddy." DK said then yelled, "Uh… just a minute!" He then turned to the dragons, "You guys have to hide."

"Where and why?" Spyro asked.

"You hide in that tire over there and you um… uh… oh… no this won't work at all. I needed you to hide because I don't know how Diddy will react if he sees you."

"DK? Is there someone in there with you?" Diddy asked.

"No Diddy!"

"Then why don't you open the door already."

"Just a second!"

Diddy sighed and sat on the wooden porch waiting for DK to open the door.

"Wait, I got an idea! You guys hide behind the door when I open it. Hopefully Diddy won't want to come in."

Spyro, Cynder, and Sparx quickly went to the right side of the door. DK walked over to the door and opened it hiding the dragons and the dragonfly. "What is it Diddy?" DK asked.

"Cranky wants to see you quickly!" Diddy answered.

"Why?"

"I don't know, but I do know you don't want to keep him waiting. You know how irritated he can get."

"Okay I be over his lab in a sec, I still have to get my tie on."

Diddy nodded and jumped off the porch of the tree house. Donkey Kong closed the door, put on his tie, and turned to the dragons and the dragonfly hiding behind the door and said, "You guys stay here. I have to go see my grandpa. If anybody comes to the door don't answer it." Donkey Kong exited the house closing it behind him then jumped off the porch. He then ran over to Cranky's Lab. Once he got there he saw Cranky packing a suitcase and Snide cleaning some beakers.

"Well if it ain't lazy old boy. Late again I see." Cranky said when he saw Donkey Kong.

"Why are you packing Cranky?" Donkey Kong asked as he watched him packing more into the suitcase.

"There has been a certain matter that I have to attend to, so while I'm gone weasel boy is in charge of the lab."

"My name is Snide," Snide said.

"I don't care what your dang name is ya nincompoop." Snide just rolled his eyes and when back to work.

"But why did you call me down here?" DK asked.

"I need you to look after the entire island while I'm gone. I sense something that I haven't sense since…"

"Since when?!"

"Since K. Rool was going to blow up the island." He said and picked up a suitcase and giving it to DK, "Take this to the ship."

"Fine Grandpa."

"Whatever!"

Later that night…

DK opened the door of his house and saw the dragons and dragonfly. The look on DK's face told them that something happened.

"Why do you look so glum?" Spyro asked.

"Oh my grandpa just left the island for some important business. It's going be a lot quieter here without him." DK said.

"What do you mean quieter?" Cynder asked.

"Well he would always complain about everything. He's always like 'Oh things were harder back in the 80's.', 'I don't give a darn if you don't like it's taste, I want you to hate it!', and let's not forget 'That was the worst stunt I've ever seen since your father save me from that carpenter, and I don't care that he's a plumber now!'."

Spyro giggled and said, "He sounds a lot like Sparx, but older."

"Hey! Don't try comparing me to an ape!" Sparx yelled.

"Ha! He does sound like my grandpa." DK laughed.

"No, I don't."

"Yeah, you do."

"I don't!"

"You do!"

"I don't!"

"You do!"

"I don't!"

"You don't!"

"I do!"

"You don't!"

"I do!"

"You don't!"

"I do! I do! If I say I do then I say I do." Suddenly, Sparx realized just what he said and his face turned into a lollipop with the word "Sucker" on it while a "Wa wa wa wa" sound effect happened.

"You sir… were just Bugs Bunnyed."

Meanwhile, a few knots away Donkey Kong Island…

A ship could be seen on the horizon lit with lights. Aboard the ship were squads of apes that were covered in armor and wield swords.

"Ah the Isle of Kongs is in sight. First, we will split into teams. One team will sneak into the island's sun cave and steal the golden bananas, as for the other team they will setup a hideout somewhere on the island. Then…" The commander ape said, but got interrupted by an ape soldier.

"Uh… sir," said the soldier an asked, "What exactly is a sun cave?"

"Says the ape with an IQ less than 3."

"That really doesn't answer my question."

"Well too bad."

Another ape soldier then asked, "Can we eat the banana."

"No you may not."

Then a third soldier asked, "Why are we helping a reptilian saltwater crocodile pirate king any way."

"You may ask that to King Gaul when he comes to finish of what is left of the dragons."

"Wait King Gaul is coming here?!"

"Yes. As a matter of fact, he is on his way here right now."

All the soldiers started to panic as if they were not prepared for this.

"Gotcha!" The commander said.

"You dark piece of monkey…" One soldier said but was interrupted by the commander.

"Whoa Whoa… Don't you even think of finishing that sentence, soldier. We want to keep the rating of this story the way it is."

"Yes sir. Sorry sir."

"The next ape to speak out of line gets thrown overboard! Do you understand?!"

Nobody spoke.

"I said do you understand?!"

One ape asked, "Well, what do you want us to do? You said if we said anything we would get thrown overboard."

The commander walked over to the ape, picked him up, took him to the starboard side of the ship, and said, "Congratulations. You just won an expense paid trip to sleep with the fishes." After he finished that sentence, the commander threw the soldier into the water.

He turned around and asked, "Anyone else have anything to say?"

All the soldiers shook their heads left and right.

"Good, but I will continue the strategy plan when we get to the island. Now move!"

The apes took their positions and the ship headed for DK Isle.

The King: Arggg… The storm maybe over, but the ship be wrecked. I be havin' fear for ye Kongs as well. Ye better review, or I be kill haulin' ye. An I'll be takin' ye booty too.
