The Kongs were on the ship, there was no turning back, now. Looking back at Kongo Bongo, it was becoming smaller and smaller. As for the ship, itself...the Kongs could see it was in great condition, aside from a few things scattered, here and there. It was exactly like a pirate ship.

They could see bananas near the ship's deck. Donkey felt a little skeptical. "You know, it's a lot like someone wanted us to be here..."

"What made you say that?" Diddy asked. Donkey looked down at the little monkey, "Well, I think since we defeated everyone else, the Kremlings took whatever Bananas were left...It's like they just wanted to challenge us, here."

"Right you are," A large Kremling came down from the crow's nest, he was roughly as big as Donkey, if not bigger. It was their leader, King K . Rool . "After those buffoons failed, I figured I would take care of you, myself."

"So you figured you would take the Bananas and make us starve to death?" Donkey yelled. King K. Rool shook his head, "What does it matter, I just wanted to expand my kingdom. Is that too much to ask?"

"There's no way we'll surrender to you!" Diddy yelled, "DK and I went through a lot. What makes you think we'll just let you walk all over us!?"

K . Rool looked at Diddy, "I see you brought that pipsqueak with you, but I doubt he'll be any help against me."

"Doesn't matter," Donkey growled, "We're here to make sure you're not getting anywhere near the island, again!" He looked back at Diddy. "You can sit this one out, I'll take care of this!"

"Got it!" Diddy said, sitting next to the pile of Bananas. K . Rool smiled, threateningly, "I haven't done something like this in a long time," He grabbed the crown from off his head and threw it at Donkey. The large ape dodged the crown, he punched K . Rool in the gut. The croc stumbled backwards, "You really think this'll stop me?" He looked for a weak spot, he spotted Diddy.

"I guess I'll have to take this up a notch!" He charged at Diddy. The monkey jumped out-of-the-way, he threw a peal at the croc's face, K . Rool stepped in a few more peals and fell on his back.

"Leave Diddy out of this," Donkey growled, "He's not the one you're fighting."

The crocodile got up from his spot, glaring at the Kongs. "Fine, I'll leave your nephew out of this, it'll just be you and me!"

"All right." Donkey said. Diddy ran on to a ledge, just to keep K . Rool from attacking him.

"Now then...Attack, my Kremling Army!" There were cannons aimed for Donkey, the large ape dodged them, he definitely didn't want to be hit by one of those. "What happened? I thought it was just you and me!" K . Rool laughed, maniacally, "I'm the bad guy, I'm supposed to lie to people."

Enraged, Donkey ran at full force and punched K . Rool in the gut, much harder then last time. The Crocodile fell onto his stomach, as though he was dead. Donkey looked down at him, puzzled.

"You don't think he died, do ya?" Diddy asked, still sitting on a ledge.

"I don't think so," Donkey replied, "Honestly, I've never killed someone, before..."

The Kremling opened his eye, he got up off of his spot, pouncing on Donkey. He held the Kong by his tie. "Did you really think I was that weak? How naïve of you primates!"

Donkey held on to the Kremling's wrist, keeping the lizard from choking him to death.

On the ledge, Diddy looked in horror, he couldn't stand there while Donkey was in danger, he needed to do something. Looking around the ledge, he saw a cannonball sitting next to him. The monkey grabbed it, it felt like it weighed a ton, but it didn't matter to him. He used all his strength and threw it at K . Rool, hitting his head. The Kremling released Donkey's tie and fell to the floor, unconscious. The big ape gasped for air, he looked up at Diddy. "Thanks, buddy."

"No problem...now how do we-" They felt the ship crash, the Kongs stumbled backwards. They seemed to have crashed into Crocodile Island. Diddy got up, looking up at the island. "Do you think the Kremlings'll be mad about this?"

"Eh, they'll be fine," Donkey said. The Kongs looked at each other. "So, how do we get home?" Donkey asked.

"That was wicked, dudes!" The Kongs could here Funky's voice, he landed his plane on the ship. "I never thought I'd witness something this awesome."

"Well, it wasn't easy, I'll tell ya that." Donkey said. He frowned a bit. "By the way, could you take us home?"

"Sure thing, dudes," Funky said, "It's about time you guys got home."

"Sounds good to me," Donkey said. Diddy began to grab as many bananas as he could from the pile and was putting them in his backpack, there weren't that many bananas that could fit...and the pile wasn't that big, anyway.

"You ready, Diddy?" Donkey asked, Diddy stopped what he was doing, his backpack felt much heavier than how it did, before. "Ready!"

The Kongs came into the plane, flying away. Meanwhile, the Kremlings all looked at their leader, concerned. "We should get him to a doctor, and quick."

The villagers watched as the plane landed in front of Cranky's Cabin. They all clapped and cheered as the Kongs came out. Cranky came up to the Kongs, smiling. "Well done, Donkey my boy! Who'd have thought a young Whippersnapper like you could've beaten that bunch of no good Kremlings? You've made an old man proud!"

"Wh-what?" Diddy waved his hands in the air. "But I was the one who knocked out K . Rool!" The Kongs laughed at Diddy. He heard some of the Kongs say, "How could a pipsqueak like you knock out ?" and "You're so full of rubbish!" Diddy looked up at Donkey with a worried expression, he couldn't say a word, he expected so much praise, but he was still seen as the weak little nephew of Donkey Kong.

Donkey looked down at the little monkey, he then looked at the crowd. "C'mon, he's tellin' the truth!" The Kongs continued to laugh, they didn't believe a word Donkey said. "There's no need to joke with us!"

"I'm serious," Donkey yelled, "I'd be Necky food if it wasn't for-"

"Don't worry about me," Diddy said in a depressed tone, "I'm just gonna go home, I'll see ya, there." Diddy slowly walked back to their hut, his tail was dragging across the ground.

"Don't worry, Diddy-Dude," Funky yelled, "I saw the whole thing."

Donkey wished he could do something for his little nephew, he wasn't expecting Diddy to be rejected, like this, especially since he was so helpful, during the adventure. Sure, he was kidnapped by the Orangutan Gang and he almost froze to death, but other than that, he proved he was a strong little sidekick.

Cranky patted Donkey's back, the old ape didn't seem too worried, at all. "Anyway, look in your hoard, I think you'll be in for a surprise."

"All right," Donkey said, he went back to the tree house, he saw Diddy at the window, laying down in his tire, Donkey has never seen Diddy so depressed. It was probably best to leave him alone, right now. Who knows what he could be thinking, at this moment.

The big ape went into the Banana Hoard, many of his Bananas seemed to have returned to him, it was as though none of the Kremlings came to take it, in the first place. It seemed like peace was returning to the Island, once again...

well...almost...

The Kremlings were all gathered in the broken galleon, the winds blew, fast, the air smelled of saltwater, the seagulls could be heard, crying out to other the ship.

King K . Rool was sitting in his cabin, he wasn't ready to give up, just yet. In fact, he looked through his outfits, many of them looked quite regal, but the one he was more fixated on was a Pirate's outfit, he could just imagine himself, now, getting the bananas from the Kongs, but there must be some easier way then to just take the hoard.

"King K . Rool, what's our next plan?" a Kritter asked. K . Rool smiled to himself, "It's a work in progress, but I've been thinking..."

"Yeah?"

"Maybe we could do a ransom act." K . Rool said, the other Kremlings all chattered, it seemed a little risky,, but maybe...just maybe...they might be able to pull it off, somehow.

"But isn't that bad?" Krusha asked, the Kremlings looked back at him, scowling.

"Of course it's bad, you lunkhead!" K . Rool yelled, "and as far as I'm concerned, we still have to work out everything in the middle, such as who we will kidnap to get that Banana Hoard."

"What about the pipsqueak?" a Klump asked, "The one Donkey seems to be attached to?" K . Rool shook his head, "That's too easy, we need something a little harder than that."

"What about one of the girls?" one of the Kritters asked, "Nothing gets better than a damsel in distress."

"No!" K . Rool barked, "I'm not going to resort to kidnapping women, I have a wife, you know!"

"What about Donkey Kong?" Krusha asked, the other Kremlings began to laugh, "You honestly think kidnapping DK would be a good idea? He'd take us all down!" Many of the Kremlings continued their laughing fit...except for K . Rool , who was deep in his own thoughts.

"You know, that's not a bad idea..." K . Rool admitted, the Kremlings stared in shock.

"Just think for a moment," K . Rool said, "Donkey gets kidnapped, the Kongs get upset, then they'll have to surrender the to us! All we have to do is figure out HOW to kidnap Donkey Kong."

The cabin was full of chatter, even in defeat, the Kremlings wouldn't give up. They had a new plan in Progress, one they will be able to pull off, flawlessly.

THE END...?

Alright, I was going to go with a happy ending, but I figured I'd leave ya on a cliffhanger "insert trollface here"

I'll look through the other chapters in case I need to fix something...as long as I'm not being lazy.
