Beginning AN: here it is the next chapter. Hermione is making her debut early in this story so instead of using the Polyjuice Potion incident in Year 2 as a catalyst for any changes she's given I'm having her an appearance similar to Tiny in the fraternal Twin sense by her drinking one of Cranky's potions. the pairing will still be Tiny Kong, Hermione and Luna since Hermione's situation is similar to what happened in my story The AI Who Lived but in this story she's not blood related to Tiny. on with the story.
Chapter 9: Creepy Castle
At K. Rools...
A purple haired kasplat was running for his life.
"Pant! Must get out of here before Fatso discovers that...the Kongs are recovering the blueprints to his stupid machine.
"Fatso, is it?" K. Rool said from where he was watching the kasplat on his security cameras. "I'd choose your last words more carefully if I were you..."
"What's that! Who's there?" Kasplat asked hearing something like loud steps.
"Any last requests?" K. Rool asked knowing the kasplat could not hear him.
"Nearly there - I'm almost safe." The kasplat said.
"I think not." K. Rool said as the kasplat was found by a giant red Klaptrap.
"Yummy Lunch." He said before eating him as another kasplat became the new holder of that blueprint.
With the DK Crew in Creepy Castle...
DK crossed the bridge getting five bananas before climbing the stairs and starting a barrel blast game that opened the small gate in the hollow tree. DK then entered inside and used his instrument to kill the bats before hitting the switch and going down killing the kasplat for the blueprint and shooting the banana balloon. DK then jumped down the hole and swam to the piece of wood getting 5 bananas. DK the got the banana fairy before swimming to the exit.
DK then climbed the stairs again and went past the hollow tree collecting 15 bananas down the path and activating teleport pad 1. DK then continued down the path collecting 30 bananas to teleport pad 2. DK then returned to the hollow tree and climbed the zipper beside it and activated teleporter pads 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. DK then used teleport pad 2 and continued on past the purple bananas to Cranky's lab and teleport pad 3 before buying the Super Duper Simian Slam and continuing down the path past the museum and to the greenhouse where he activated teleport pad 4 and continued on to the top of the castle where he activated teleport pad 5.
DK then noticed Snide's HQ to the right and traded in the blueprint for the golden banana before using teleport pad 5 then one and dropping down a level behind and entering the door. He then headed straight down the path until he got to Funky's and bought the Sniper upgrade. DK then returned to the hollow tree and returned to the platform in the water and used the sniper mode to shoot the target and the two that appeared after to raise the water level and collect the golden banana. DK then swam to the exit and made his way to teleport pad 1 by itself and entered the hole in the gate in front of it.
DK then followed the path until he came to a gate that opened. DK entered and simian slammed the red switch straight ahead and entered the next room collecting 5 bananas and simian slammed all the tiles until they showed DK's face to get a golden banana. DK then headed back to teleport pad 1 and used it then used teleport pad 5and headed down the castle until he found a switch with his face and simian slammed it, giving him 20 seconds to go further down the path and jump on the cloud and into the library.
Inside he headed up the ramp and took the left path into the large room with books that closed him in. He collected the five bananas and killed all the enemies to make a switch appear. He simian slammed it to open the way back, and this time he took the right path. When he got to the flying books he used the invincibility barrel and made his way past while collecting 10 bananas and making it to the golden banana before shooting the switch on the wall to leave the castle at the simian switch he pressed to enter.
DK then ran up and used teleporter pd 5 then one and dropped down like he was going back to Funky's, but instead of going straight he took the left path to the Skull and hit the coconut switch and entered, activating teleport pads 1 2 and 3 and taking the left path. Then taking a right and getting five bananas over teleport pad 2, and shooting the coconut switch before shooting the banana balloon. DK then pulled the top left, top right, and bottom left levers to open the door to another minecart track where he had to finish with at least 25 coins to get the golden banana. DK then used teleport pad 2 to get back to the entrance of the Skull area and left to the nearby tag barrel and tagged in Diddy.
Diddy headed to the hollow tree and climbed the zipper and used teleport pad 4. Then went up the castle a little to the ballroom and hit the simian switch to enter. Inside he killed all the enemies on the dance floor to get a rocket barrel boost to appear that he used to light the candles while collecting 15 bananas to get a bonus barrel Minecart Mayhem to appear that he completed form the golden banana.
Diddy then shot the banana balloon and left the ballroom and used teleport pad 4 then teleport pad 1 where he shot another banana balloon then dropped down behind him and entered the door before killing the kasplat for the blueprint and heading to the skull room and shooting the banana balloon there before shooting then peanut switch and entering the skull. Diddy took the left path, then another left until he got to teleport pad 1 and the five bananas on it. Diddy then shot the switch and entered and chimpy charged the number switches in numerical order to reveal a golden banana from the main coffin. Diddy the chimpy charged switch number 4 again and the side coffins revealing enemies and a banana balloon that Diddy popped.
Diddy then left the Skull room and returned to the teleport pad 1 outside by itself and entered the gate in front of it and headed to the door that opens on it's own. Inside Diddy took the right path and simian slammed the red switch to enter the next room where he shot the banana balloon then the switch above the golden banana dropping down chains he used to get to it without it disappearing because of the floor sensors.
Afterwards Diddy returned to the previous room and turned right before he tagged in Chunky who primate punched the two gates here, and the two gates in the area across from where Diddy got the golden banana. Chunky then tagged in Diddy who got the 20 bananas now revealed before leaving the castle and using teleport pad 1 then 2 and jumping in the Rocket barrel. Diddy then used it to fly counter clockwise up getting the five bananas on the pole by Cranky's, and the five on the cloud at the top before completing the Bug bashing challenge barrel for a golden banana before jumping down and going to Snide's HQ to trade the blueprint for a golden banana. Afterwards Diddy used teleport pad 5 before using the tag barrel by teleport pad 1 to tag in Lanky.
Head back out and turn right. Jump in the tag barrel and take out Chunky. Primate Punch the two gates on the walls that have some of Diddy's bananas. Walk out of the area and head right. There are two more gates here to Primate Punch. Head back into the tag barrel and take out Diddy again. Collect the ten red bananas in the two walls. (71-80) Head right into the other area and collect the ten red bananas in the walls. (81-90) Exit outside of the castle and use the teleport pad 1. Run over to teleport pad 2 and use it. Jump in the rocket boost barrel and fly counter clockwise up the castle. When you near Cranky's you will notice five red bananas on top of one of the pole supporting the bride. Collect the bananas (91-95) then fly to the very top of the castle. You will see a cloud with red bananas on it so land on that cloud. Collect the five red bananas (96-100) and hop over to the bonus barrel. Another bug swatting game! You must swat 10 bugs in 60 seconds. When you complete the challenge, collect the golden banana. DYK 4 Jump down and head over to Snide's. Trade in the blue print for a golden banana. DK then headed over to teleport pad 5 and use it. Behind teleport pad 1 is a tag barrel so jump in it and take out Lanky.
Lanky used teleport pad 1 and jumped down behind him and entered the door automatically getting 5 bananas before following the trail of 25 bananas to Funky's before returning to the kasplat and heading left to a Tomb like cabin. Inside Lanky had to hit the switch jump in the lanky barrel and race down the left path to get to the area behind the gate within 13 seconds. Once here he shot the banana balloon over the slime before playing his instrument on the pad and swinging across the vines it dropped to get the golden banana. Lanky then left the castle and used teleport pad 1 followed by 2.
Lanky then followed the path down and got his blueprint from the kasplat then returned to use teleport pad 2 again and jumped in the water below then entered the castle and followed the path until he got to the door that opens on it's own and heading left and simian slamming the red switch to get to the next area where he shot a banana balloon before using the music pad to get baboon balloon pads to appear that he used to get to the bonus barrel at the end to play Kremling Kosh for a golden banana. Lanky then shot the second golden banana and left the castle and returned to the teleport pads 1 through 5 and took teleport pad 4 and simian slammed the switch by the greenhouse to enter.
Inside Lanky had 40 seconds to navigate the maze getting 30 bananas and the golden banana. Luckily there was a Lanky barrel nearby to make things faster. Lanky then left the greenhouse and used teleport pad 4 then 5 and simian slammed the red switch to enter the castle where he killed all the enemies to reveal a pad. Lanky then shot the banana balloon and the three switches on the wall with sniper mode opening a grate to reveal a draft he used with baboon balloon to get to the bonus barrel with Beaver Bother to get the golden banana. Lanky then left the castle and went to Snide's HQ and traded the blueprint for a golden banana then tagged in Tiny.
Tiny ran down the path from the current location to down to teleport pad 2 collecting 50 bananas and passing Cranky's before using teleport pad 2 then 4 where she saw a trash can and a tiny barrel. Knowing the kremlings might have thrown away the golden banana she used the tiny barrel and flew up to the top of the trash can and dropped inside where she found it was filled with trash including a slice of rotting cheese with 5 purple bananas on top, a half buried soda can, and a wrapper. Tiny used her instrument to kill the fly enemies revealing a golden banana on the soda can.
Tiny was about to leave the trash can after getting her first golden banana in Creepy Castle but paused when she heard loud steps getting closer, and heard the mutters of a Kremling complaining to itself. Suddenly she noticed the lid of the trash can being opened making Tiny's eyes go wide before she frantically hid inside the slice of rotting cheese, much to her disgust, but it was better then being caught. She then heard a bunch of spats as the Kremling dumped in the leftovers from his dinner. Some of it landing on the cheese and causing it to push down on her. She then heard the lid close and was about to dig her way out when the entire trash can started moving trapping her in her current location, Eventually it stopped and Tiny heard the lid be removed again.
"Good haul." A Kremling said looking in it not noticing the buried Tiny. "This will annoy whatever house the teleporter sends it to. Though why we send our trash to random people's houses I don't know."
"He's evil." Another Kremling said putting the trash can down under a ray of some sort. "Sending his trash into random people's houses is something he enjoys, even if it is like now and he is too busy to watch their reactions."
"True." The Kremling said as the ray blasted the trash and it, and Tiny were teleported elsewhere.
In the end she ended up in the home of a young girl named Hermione Granger. Whose parents thought she had dumped the trash in the living room and made her clean it up.
As she did she found a tiny living monkey under the cheese and what looked like mash potatoes. One that she felt an instant connection too, and so Hermione hid her before finishing cleaning and taking the tiny monkey to be cleaned.
After cleaning her off they talked, Hermione learning everything that had happened to Tiny and her family on this adventure, and Tiny learning that Hermione only got praise from her parents if she got a perfect score or was around someone of authority. Giving her the need to prove herself and an almost compulsive trust in authority. This caused Tiny to grow back to normal before giving her a hug and offering to bring her back with her to which she agreed. So Tiny hugged her again before monkeyporting them to Cranky's Lab.
Cranky wasn't happy, but was more upset about how she was raised so gave her the same potions he gave Tiny, having the side effect of because it was meant for Kongs Hermione became a Kong. Looking like she could be Tiny's twin except with brown hair instead of yellow. And the potions also mixed with Hermione's magic the same way the did Tiny, before Hermione headed to the tag barrel to introduce herself to the others and wait to see if she was needed while borrowing the Klaptrap language book, as Tiny continued on.
She used teleport pad 4 then 1 and jumped down behind her and scaled the wall clockwise to find the kasplat with her blueprint before returning to the door on the same level and entering then heading right and entering the tomb that Lanky entered earlier. Inside she took the right path collecting 5 bananas as she made her way to the end where she flew over the slime to the golden banana. She monkey ported out of the tomb and took the right path to Funky's where she shot the banana balloon and tagged in Hermione who entered Funky's after Tiny set things up for her to pay for Hermione's weapon that weapon being a crossbow like hers, but hers shot strawberries. He did consider giving her one that shot explosive oranges, but realized that the orange grenades bounced, and so there was a chance that the oranges would bounce back and hit her instead. Hermione then noticed 5 pink banana balloons and popped them before she tagged in Tiny who monkeyported to the door in front of teleport pad 1 and entered she then took the left path and flew over the gap to the challenge barrel Teetering Turtle Trouble for the golden banana.
Tiny then monkeyported to the ballroom by teleport pad 4 and tagging in Diddy who opened the door before tagging Tiny back in so she could enter. Inside Tiny found 5 bananas and a picture that was clear enough for her to monkeyport to getting another 5 bananas. Behind the building she found a banana fairy and another 5 bananas and another clear picture she used to monkeyport to another 5 bananas. She then shot the banana balloon before monkeyporting back to the building and getting on top and shrinking down having to do another race against the race car she races in Frantic Factory. Winning for a golden banana before monkeyporting to Snide's HQ and trading the blueprint in for another golden banana before tagging in Chunky.
Chunky used teleport pad 5 then jumped down behind and entered the hollow tree where he collected 5 bananas and primate punched the wall behind him and shot the banana balloon then used the sniper mode to shoot the switch at the end to open the gate to the bonus barrel Beaver Bother for a golden banana. Chunky then left the hollowed tree and climbed the zipper to the teleport pads and jumped in the water and into the castle where he got 30 bananas and his Kasplat before using the tag barrel near Candy's to tag Hermione in.
Hermione went inside Candy's shop and after a brief mix up of Candy thinking Hermione is Tiny before she explained what happened, and making Candy gave her a Harp. Hermione then noticed five pink banana balloons and popped them before hopping in the tag barrel and tagging Chunky.
Chunky headed to the door that opened by itself and turned right to the gates and primate punched them both then popped the green banana balloons inside them. Chunky headed back outside to teleport pad 1 jumped back behind him and entered then turned left to the Skull area the others had went to where he shot his switch and entered. Inside Chunky took the right path and shot the switch to open the door while activating teleport pad 3. Inside Chunky primate punched the two coffins to the left and collected the ten bananas. He then primate punched the coffins on the back wall to reveal a bonus barrel for searchlight seek he won for the golden banana.
Chunky then exited the skull area and headed outside the castle and used teleport pad 1 then 4 and primate punched the door on the large wooden shed and entered inside. Inside he primate punched the question mark box and played his instrument to kill the enemies revealing a golden banana. Chunky then left after shooting the green banana. Chunky then headed down the path to the museum where he simian slammed the red switch and entered inside.
Inside Chunky headed down the hall to the main room and shot the banana balloon then primate punched the three shields on the left from left to right revealing a boulder Chunky picked up, getting 5 bananas on the way. Chunky placed the boulder on the platform in the center of the room to get the golden banana. Chunky then headed all the way back to Snide's HQ and traded in the blueprint for the golden banana then used the Troff n Scoff portal near teleport pad 4 where the Kongs gave a combined total of 400 bananas so that Lanky could enter.
Lanky started off by shooting himself out of the cannon and at the cardboard cutout of K. Rool. Afterwards Lanky swam back to the main area while dodging lasers and shot himself out of the cannon pointing to the K. Rool cutout when it popped back up, then doing it a third time to knock one of his arms off.
Lanky then dodged more lasers before shooting himself out of the cannon again only to find that this time the k. Rool cut out was an illusion and he went flying off. Tiny noticed this and jumped out of the tag barrel to finish the fight. She dodged the lasers then shot herself out of the cannon at the k. Rool cutout that was not as dark. Hitting it and flying back to the platform while avoiding lasers and doing it two more times. This caused his other arm to fall off.
Tiny then dodged lasers and shot herself out of the cannon again only to find the K. Rool Cutout had become faster and had already left sending her sailing away, landing dazed in front of Rouge.
Meanwhile...Diddy Kong, Donkey Kong, and then Chunky Kong tried again in that order as well, but the cut out was moving too fast and all of them missed, blasting away from Creepy Castle and landing in different areas.
This left Hermione as the last one and so she took the stage refusing to let the others down, but she had the advantage. While the others fought Hermione had noticed a pattern. The K. Rool cutout was going counter clockwise. So she waited by one cannon for the right moment and jumped in when it popped up, before monkeyporting back to the land after landing a hit on it. Dealing the third blow, and knocking off its head and collecting the key just as Tiny, with Rouge sitting on her head monkeyported back.
After explaining everything that happened Hermione took the key to K. Lumsy's cage causing him to dance so much that he opened the hideout Helm lobby.
Hermione then flew up there and tagged in DK who shot the switch on the other side to reveal a platform to the kasplat with the blueprint that he killed with an instrument and ran across to get the blueprint. DK then tagged in Chunky who used the invisibility pad to make vines appear before swinging across the left set after activating teleport pad 1 to get to the Kremling Kosh bonus barrel he completed for the golden banana before swinging across the other set of vines to right in front of the entrance where he activated and used teleport pad 1 then tagged in DK who took the blueprint to Snide's HQ for the golden banana 200 before tagging in Hermione who monkeyported them back to the Hideout Helm lobby where she tagged in DK who used teleport pad 1 to get across the lava and enter.
Ending AN: that's the chapter. the DK64 Arc is almost over. only Hideout Helm and the final boss remain. after that the Harry Potter Saga begins.
Next Time: The DK Crew along with Hermione do everything there is to be done in Hideout Helm.
