Donkey Kong Island
Daisy tried to calm Luigi as he paced back and forth inside the Odyssey. "What if-a my brother isn't with them? What if Bowser has done something to him?"
"Relax, Luigi. Your brother has gotten out of sticky situations before."
"Yoshi!" The dinosaur pointed out the window with his tail. The jungles below were blazing with fire.
"That is Donkey Kong Island," Luigi shouted. In the surrounding water was a giant fortress with a crocodile's head at the top, firing bombs at the island.
"We sent Rosalina there," Daisy said. "Cappy, take us down." They landed the Odyssey on the outskirts of the jungle. As they got out of the airship, they noticed two people locked inside cages hanging from two great trees. A yellow star whizzed around one of the cages. "That has to be Luma. Somebody must have caught Rosalina."
OOH-OOH-AH-AH! Diddy Kong burst out the trees, frantically bouncing as he waved at them.
"Moohv-Moohv-Ah-Ah!" Dixie Kong yelled from the treetops.
Donkey Kong swung down from the trees on a vine, grabbing Daisy and Luigi in his huge gorilla arms. Yoshi dashed after them, before a light beaming from the mouth of the crocodile at the top of the fortress shined on where they had just stood.
"Phew," Donkey Kong said. "That was a close one."
Cranky Kong hobbled out the trees on his cane. "Ay, back in my day we used to rely on light from the sun, none of these fancy crocodile heads."
"What has-a happened here?" Luigi said.
"King has returned," Donkey Kong said. "He pulled up on his fortress weeks ago and started setting the island on fire to chase everyone out into the open, so he can catch them. He stuck Rosalina and some other dude in a cage up in those big trees. Cranky thinks he's trying to lure us to try and rescue them, so they can trap us."
"What do you think he is trying to find?" Daisy said.
Donkey Kong shrugged. "Beats me. Diddy's found a hidden path that leads to Crocodile Isle. It's dangerous, but with your help, we should be able to get through it."
"What about Rosalina?"
"It's too dangerous," Cranky said. "King 's lights will be keeping a careful watch over them. We can rescue them after we have dealt with ."
Diddy and Dixie squawked away. "Ooh-ooh. It's coming back," Donkey Kong shouted as the light headed their way. They ran through the jungle and came to a wall of fire. The apes grabbed hold of vines and swung over the flame. Donkey Kong took Luigi in his hands as if he was carrying his lover, whilst Daisy got on Yoshi's back as he jumped over the fire. The light reached the fire and stopped. They each let out a sound of relief.
A siren sounded. Ooh? Donkey Kong turned, his eyes popping out of their sockets. There was Waluigi, standing exposed under the beam of 's light.
"Oh no. Waht have I done?"
The sky cracked open, and a giant white hand came down and grabbed Waluigi. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Diddy Kong yelped, dashing forward and gripping Waluigi's legs as they lifted into the air.
"Diddy!" Donkey Kong yelled. He ran forward and grabbed Diddy's leg. Everyone else ran forward, jumping up to try and catch Donkey Kong's legs.
Rosalina watched the commotion from her cage. "Is that the ape you were telling me about?" Cloud in the cage beside her said.
Master Hand swiped down, taking Luigi, Daisy, Yoshi, Dixie and Cranky in his palm with the others. He bawled his fist until they stopped moving. He ripped a hole back open in the sky.
Somewhere in the pinnacle of Crocodile Isle, King received Master Hand's message. "He has been found—with added bonuses might I add. You may do it now."
King smiled. "Good." He pushed a button.
Rosalina and Cloud were helpless as the purple cannonball headed towards them. They did not stand a change as the entire island was soon submerged by a purple dome.
