The Kongs were climbing down the mountain, the white scenery had changed to a less pleasant one. The sky turned into a dull grayish yellow, some of the grass went missing, and the air itself smelled horrible, it smelled like a burning tire.
Ahead of them, they could see smoke coming out of a building and Kremlings roaming the whole area. Some of them were carrying wheelbarrows full of bananas from the hoard, others were guarding the area in case of any Kongs that were close. The only area that wasn't being guarded was the caves.
"I don't like the looks of this," Donkey said, looking at Diddy, "It's probably best if we split up, for now."
"Will you be OK?" Diddy asked. Donkey patted his head, "Sure I will, we'll just have to meet back, by..." He looked around. At a distance, he could see another pile of bananas, they were pretty far away, but so far, they seemed like they kept their yellow color, as far as the Kongs could tell. "See those bananas? That'll be our meeting point." Donkey whispered. "I'll go into the factory, you can go see if you can find a way through the caves."
"All right," Diddy said, raising his hand "Good luck, Big Buddy!" Donkey high-fived him, the Kongs both parted ways.
Donkey headed over to the factory, he could see Kremlings entering and exiting the building He hide behind a few boulders to avoid detection. Looking around, the only area he could get into was through one of the windows. When the coast was clear, he quickly ran and climbed through the window.
The factory looked incredibly chrome. The floors were all gray, there were round lights on the ceiling, there were a lot of oil drums on fire, and many of the Kremlings were working their tails off, Donkey tried to sneak past the Kremlings, they should leave him be if he kept quiet. He hoped the crocodiles would just keep working, not looking at the ape.
Donkey felt something heavy fall on to his foot, it looked like an armadillo. Donkey big his lip, trying to shake off the pain. The armadillo laughed, making the Kremlings pause. This can't be good, Donkey thought to himself.
Some of the Kremlings turned around, they spotted Donkey, "It's one of the Kongs!" One of the Kremlings yelled. Some of the lizards stopped what they were doing and charged at the big ape. Seeing how puny they were, Donkey punched one of them to try to scare them off...it wasn't working, more Kremlings were gathering around him.
"Well, now...let's show him where we keep our trash!" One of the Kremlings said, smiling menacingly.
"Not on my watch!" Donkey yelled as he began to run. He ran over barrels and tires, the Kremlings were gaining on him. Donkey saw a large container full of tires. He pushed them down, getting the Kremlings to lose his trail. He saw some dirty water, ahead. Maybe he could lose them if he jumped into the water.
"C'mon, men!" The Kremlings yelled, "We can't lose to this mangy primate!" Donkey jumped in the water, it left a bad taste in his mouth. Then again, he was in a factory.
He swam over to the pipe to see where it would lead him. When he came out of the other side, he could see schools of fish, roaming by. He could tell, now that he was somewhere in a polluted pond, the kind where you would expect factories to dump their waste and possibly turn into a mutant.
He felt something nudge him, it was a large shark, it was leading a group of Jellyfish. Donkey swam to the surface as fast as possible, while the shark and the Jellyfish were on his tail. It would make things easier if Enguarde was here, he'd stop these critters with his bill. But sadly, he wasn't around here, he was still back at the village.
He could see some spiked tires up ahead, Donkey tried not to let his anger get the best of him. After all, the Kong needed to hold his breath and try to find his way back to the surface.
Some of the tires almost scratched his fur, but the big ape had to keep going, he could almost see the surface. He lundged forwards. Behind him, the shark and the jellyfish were lost among the tires.
Donkey had climbed out of the pond, slightly annoyed. I swear If I see one more tire, I'm gonna punch a wall. He could see the bananas, even closer, now. Not only that, he saw another cave entrance. He figured that's where Diddy would end up. He sat down on a rock, waiting for his Little Buddy to come back.
...That is to say, there wasn't any sign of Diddy, hour later, Donkey was getting curious. He went into the cave, it was another mine. There was also another mine cart, here. He figured he could find Diddy if he came through here. He came into the mine cart, it began to move, like a normal mine cart.
He could see a few Neckies and Zingers going after him. He jumped to avoid getting hit. The ape looked back. There's more of them? Where are they coming from?
Yet another swarm of Zingers were coming after him, he ducked, avoiding the Zingers, again. He saw a part of the track was missing, and another mine cart was on the other side. Maybe if Donkey jumped, he could make it into that mine cart. He jumped, again, he barely made it. He climbed into the mine cart and began to move forward, again.
A few Neckies were flying by him. Donkey rolled his eyes and ducked. He could finally see light. Before he could do anything, he felt a crash, but he was finally out of the cave. He could see another factory, but he was also closer to the Bananas. This would be a good spot to wait for Diddy. That wasn't all, though...there was an oil drum, roughly the same size of the factory.
Donkey was curious, he came closer to the oil drum, only to find that in had burst, there were two Kritters, two Klap Traps, two Snakes, two Klumps, and two Amadilloes.
"How do you like that?" one of the Kritters asked, "We went through all that work and yet we're missing one of the Kongs."
"Don't worry about it, Another Kritter said, "He's gotta fight someone, ya know."
"If that's the case, then I'll take you down, first!" Donkey grabbed the Kritters' heads and bashed them together, knocking them out.
The snakes slid onto Donkey's feet. unamused, the ape kicked them out of the way, like rocks. Afterwards, the two Klaptraps ran after Donkey, but the unamused ape pounded them to the ground.
Afterwards, the two Klumps charged at Donkey, they ran over the ape. Slightly annoyed, the big ape got back up, getting ready to fight, this'll take me forever. I'll bet Diddy's having more fun then I am...
Caves, caves, caves, mines, mines, mines, this is gettin' to be pretty annoying...
Diddy was riding on a conveyor belt, through a track. He seemed a little annoyed, and the Neckies definitely weren't helping.
He felt something fall on his head, he grabbed it and looked at it, it was a Gnawty. Diddy placed it down onto the conveyor belt. "Are ya lost, little guy?" The Gnawty chattered, somewhat surprised that a Kong wasn't attacking him.
"Don't worry, once we get off, we'll be able to go home," Diddy raised an eyebow, "By the way, where did you come from, anyway?" The Gnawty only chattered, Diddy rolled his eyes, Look at yourself, you're here talkin' to this Gnawty yet you don't know what it's saying...
He felt the conveyor belt stop, the Gnawty ran off. It seemed like Diddy would have to continue on foot. He could see a snake, trying to bite at him. the little monkey used his cartwheel attack to knock him out. "Haha, take that, ya moron!" His smile suddenly faded as soon as he saw a group of snakes chase after him. The monkey ran as fast as he could to get away from the snakes. He could see a few ropes, hanging in a shaft. He climbed them, smiling to himself. And Cranky says I can't fend for myself...
He climbed higher until he bumped into something, it fell to the ground. A bunch of Zingers came out, wanting to chase Diddy. The monkey panicked, swinging from rope to rope, "I didn't mean it!"
The Zingers were getting closer and closer to him, he could no longer find any more ropes, yet he could see a few elevators containing carts full of coal. With the Zingers chasing him, Diddy had no choice, he jumped into one of the carts. After the Zingers lost interest. Diddy peaked his head out, coughing. Maybe the elevators would take him somewhere, he had to wonder where.
"All right, you take this one," a voice said, Diddy hid himself the best he could, taking off his hat and digging into the coal to nobody could see him.
A Kremling began to move it, "Geez, I didn't think you'd get this much, it's so heavy!"
"It's not that heavy," another Kremling growled. Diddy kept silent, though he seemed a little insulted. Are they calling me fat?
"Come on, we gotta get going, " the Kremling said, "I'll push the back and you pull the front."
"Yeah, yeah," One of the Kremlings was looking down at the cart, he "Ya don't suppose they've fixed the lights back at the factory, right?"
"No, why?"
"I dunno, if only we could steal some of the lights from the Kongs."
The cart ride felt like it was going forever, Diddy could smell burning rubber, the sign that he was out of the caves. He had to be patient, though. If the Kremlings figured out they had a Kong in their cart, this could mean serious trouble.
The Kremlings reached a factory, they could see Donkey Kong fighting with the tag teams assigned to fight him.
"Hehe, that stupid ape, he thinks he can do this alone?"
"Maybe the little one died," the other Kremling said.
"Either that or he was eaten by a Necky."
I'll feed you to a Necky, Diddy thought, if only he could actually say that to the Kremlings.
The lizards took the cart into a factory. Above them, another Kremling looked like he was fixing the lights. The cart was taken to the end of the room, where other carts were waiting. The lights shut off, Diddy looked out of the Cart, he was in. The room was Dark, he couldn't see a thing.
"Hey, Bob, could you work on the lights, a little faster?"
"I'm tryin'! I'm tryin'!" The lights flickered back on, Diddy was able to see where he was. Since the Kremlings weren't looking at him, He placed his hat back on his head and climbed out of the cart with ease, his clothes and his fur were covered in black marks from the coal. The lights flickered off, again, the Kremlings groaned in unison. Of course, maybe Diddy could use the lights to his advantage.
He crawled around on the floor, trying to be careful not to get caught. The lights flickered on, again. Diddy hid behind a pile of oil drums They weren't full, of course. And when the lights go off, he'll start moving, again.
The lights turned off, again. Diddy lifted one of the oil drums, placing it over his head.
"Can't you fix this thing, any faster?" One of the Kremlings yelled. Diddy moved cautiously, he bumped into another Kremling, he dropped the oil drum as the lights came back on. The Kremling looked at the drum. "You see, Bob? This is why we need the lights, I could've broke my neck, tripping over this thing!"
"Why can't Frank do this?" One of the Kritters yelled, "He's much better with the lights!"
The lights turned back off, Diddy lifted the oil drum, trying to make his way to the exit. He was almost there when the lights turned on, Diddy dropped the oil drum, the rim landed on his tail. Diddy let out a yelp before covering his mouth, tears were streaming down his eyes as his tail throbbed in pain.
"What was that?" One of the Kremlings asked. None of them seemed to have an idea what it was.
"Is it me, or does that drum have a brown snake, under it?" The Kremlings could see a part of Diddy's tail, the lights turned off, it was Diddy's cue to exit the door. When the lights turned back on, the oil drum was laying on its side, the Kremlings just stood there, baffled.
Diddy came out of the factory, he could see the bananas...along with a broken oil drum, some knocked out Kremlings, and a Donkey covered in a few bruises. Diddy came up to Donkey. "What happened?"
"It was nothing," Donkey said, "I was just attacked by a few Kritters and Klumps, no big deal."
"Where do we go, now?" Diddy asked. Donkey pointed to another large cave.
"There's more?" Diddy asked in a shocked tone, "I'm gettin' sick of all the caves..."
"We don't have a choice," Donkey said, "Come on, we're almost done!"
"Fine..." Diddy rolled his eyes, "I suppose a cave is better than a factory."
The Kongs didn't have much farther to go, now. They bravely entered the caves, ready to look for the Kremling leader.
Back at the village, Funky was looking at his masterpiece, the plane he had been working on has been finished. Above the village, Squawks and many other parrots were carrying bananas in their talons, dropping them in the Kongs' Banana Hoard.
Candy came into Funky's, "Did you notice what's going on? Squawks came back, he said he wanted to repay a debt to Donkey."
Funky shrugged, "Hey, at least they're helpin'." The Kong looked at the finished plane, again "So whaddaya think?" he asked, "I'm sure Donkey-dude would like to get a load of this."
"Do you suppose we go look for him?" Candy asked.
"Ya can, if ya want," Funky said, "But I'd rather just stay here, you know I don't like adventures."
"Hey, guys!" Cranky barged into the Cabin, "There's a ship on the beach!" Candy and Funky stared at the old ape, confused. "I suppose we could go look at it." Candy said, the duo followed Cranky to the beach.
The Kongs all gathered around, the Kremlings were gathering whatever bananas they had left, on the ship. The Kongs could see the Kremling King, at the deck, shouting out orders to his underlings. Cranky glared at the croc. "King K. Rool, one of the worst Kings in the history of Kings, I hear that he's secretly a pirate."
"I thought he was secretly a mad scientist!" Funky said. "Then again, I think it was just a rumor."
Cranky crossed his arms, "Well, whatever he is, he's not gonna get away with it, so easily. Hopefully Donkey and Diddy'll pop out and stop him before they leave. And hopefully the author of this awful fanfiction doesn't make things worse then it already is, and maybe give me a better role!"
Sorry for the lack of activity, on here...I've been pretty tired, lately...
I promised myself I would look through this fanfiction once I'm done (and of course, help is always excepted)...hopefully I can make the wording a little less...awkward...And come on, I have to let Cranky break the fourth wall at least once (he doesn't even do it in Returns) .
Ironically enough, I like seeing feedback on DA, yet I'm scared of feedback on Fanfiction . Net , but I'll get over it, soon, I'm sure of it.
