Chapter 66: The Last Records

Diddy and Dixie looked more curiously at the screen, after inserting that cassette, which was titled:

»»»"Day 75. Dixie's photos"

«Rocky: (Jemky, I'm sorry for telling you this and I know you're deeply in love with Dixie, but you're already insane).

«Jemky: (Don't be boring, I assure you that the relationship of that pair of stupid monkeys will not be saved from this).

On that occasion, only the active Ricky's subscreen could be displayed, where Jemky and Melenky were now seen on Hurricane Island introducing 'Melvyn', 'Jenny' and 'Mandy' into a box of wood, and then carrying the latter tied to the jet ski they used. Apparently, they were going to bring them to the islet of the building.

»»»

«Jemky: (These are the tapes, right?), he asked as he, Melenky and Mandrew were seen through Jenny's subscreen, now inside the building.

It was observed how he was extracting rolls of extensive magnetic tapes from Jenny's abdomen. Later, they did the same with 'Mandy' and 'Melvyn'. Meanwhile, Rocky was seen wearing the electrode suit with which they controlled the mechanical children. In fact, only Ricky's screen was shown on Hurricane Island alongside the herd of kidnapped kong children.

«Rocky: (Are you aware that you'll have to put those magnetic tapes in more than sixty video cassettes?)

«Melenky: (That's why our dads have quite a few of those cassettes).

«Jemky: (We have to extract the best scenes from these video recordings to make photocopies of them).

»»»

«Melenky: (This is the day we fought with that pair because of those challenges), he said as he cut out one of the tapes and then rolled it into a video cassette.

«Jemky: (By the way, I apologize for all my shouting in these video recordings), he added as he finished winding a tape into a cassette, and then wrote on it with marker the titles and days of the recordings. (Well, after this, we'll take the photos).

»»»

«Jemky: (Ready… here they are), he said in an evil tone, holding in his hands a pile of what seemed to be some photographs taken from the video recordings.

Through Mandy's screen, Jemky could be seen outside the building, in a corner with abundant vegetation.

Mandrew (MANDY): (Are you ready?), he asked Jemky, speaking to him through 'Mandy'.

«Jemky: (More than ready!... Hey, and seriously, these mechanical children look so real), he commented, looking closely at the camera before walking away. (Well, let's start with this photo first).

Jemky showed 'Mandy' one of the photographs to Mandy's camera, where Diddy appeared hugging and kissing Dixie on the cheek. This photo seemed to be on Hurricane Island, probably in one of the moments where the quartet was spending time with Diddy and Dixie. Then, Jemky handed the photograph to 'Mandy' and took a few steps back.

Mandrew (MANDY): (Well… stand a little further back and more to the left…), he said to him at the same time that he extended the photograph forward as if he were trying to fit something in. (Now! Strike the pose).

Jemky made a pose similar to the one Diddy had in that photo, and stayed like that for a couple of seconds until a sound similar to the one a camera makes when capturing photos was heard, apparently coming from 'Mandy'.

Mandrew (MANDY): (Perfect! Now with the next photo).

Dixie advanced that scene in fast motion while she saw Jemky successively handing the photographs to 'Mandy', and then he seemed to try to imitate or strike poses guided by the photos. These photographs were all of Diddy and Dixie, mostly about Dixie, which seemed to come from the scenes of those video recordings. 'Mandy', that is, Mandrew, was giving instructions to Jemky to pose so that he could take a photo of him.

»»»

Scenes later, only Ricky's subscreen was visible, whom Rocky continued to control on Hurricane Island. Later, the Melvyn's subscreen also came back on, showing Melenky from the front.

«Melenky: (Are they all already?)

«Jemky: (There are still three left, wait).

The quartet's room was shown, which had the floor full of scattered pieces of paper, as if they were doing any school work. On the floor was Jemky, who apparently was cutting paper with the same electric scalpel that the group of mandrills and orangutans had.

«Jemky: (Hmm, that pair of monkeys thinks they're 'indestructible'… but let's see if this is of their size!), he expressed hatefully as he continued cutting in a similar way as if he were drawing.

«Rocky: (Hey, but be careful! Our dads said those blades are fragile... Oh, no…)

Suddenly, Jemky stopped as the blade he was using broke.

«Rocky: (Nooo! I said they're fragile!), he exclaimed, sounding alarmed.

«Jemky: (Uhh... don't worry, there's still one more blade left).

«Rocky: (JUST ONE BLADE?! There were five!)

«Jemky: (Just relax! There are only three photographs of Dixie left; it'll resist).

Dixie was only filled with enormous fury as she watched the next few minutes of that scene: what Jemky was doing was cutting out her silhouette from each photograph, and then pasting them on the photographs that he had taken from himself, trying to fit them together as best he could as if they were a puzzle, even adjusting the lighting with other tools he had.

«Jemky: (Now yes, Melenky…), he said in an evil tone, standing up with the photographs in hand. (Prepare Melvyn).

And finally, what Jemky did was, with the help of Melenky, he took new photos of those manipulated photographs, through 'Melvyn'. Those new photos were the same ones they had shown Diddy and Dixie the day before when they made them fight.

"Urgh! This blasted orangutan is a crazy maniac!" Dixie exclaimed, too furiously, stamping her feet and banging on the sideboard. "Doesn't that burnt-hair have anything else to do?!"

«Jemky: (Perfect!), he said, holding the new photographs in his hands and looking at them with an evil look.

«Mandrew: (I've already finished the painting!), he said, appearing on the scene and apparently returning to the room.

Mandrew was carrying in his hands the same painting that, according to Jemky, he had given to Dixie a long time ago.

Jemky searched through the pieces of paper on the floor until he found a fragment of a photo showing the painting that Dixie had given to Diddy on their last date. Then, he looked at the painting Mandrew was carrying.

«Jemky: (Brilliant! It looks identical).

«Rocky: (Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute!), he exclaimed, appearing on scene with the electrode suit on and observing that painting. (Where did you get those colored stones that you put here?)

«Mandrew: (These are the ones our dads brought).

«Rocky: (WHAT?! Did you go crazy?!), he exclaimed, snatching the painting from Mandrew and, instantly, trying to tear the stones from it.

«Jemky: (HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!), he exclaimed, snatching it back.

«Rocky: (Those stones are the quartz that our dads will use for the procedure with those children! Why are you going to use them for this painting that you're going to give to Dixie?!)

«Jemky: (Oh, keep calm! It's not for Dixie, it's just to say I gave it to her. When we return, we'll take out the stones again; no problem).

«Rocky: (BUT WHAT IF THEY FALL OFF?! And by the way, I don't think all this you're doing is going to work to make those two break up).

«Jemky: (You didn't even want to collaborate on this, so shut up and just watch!)

«Rocky: (You really are tremendously intense, really! Maybe everything will go wrong for you).

«Jemky: (You'll see that pair of monkeys can't be saved from this!… By the way, I want to take more photos; let's check the other photocopies).

"This blasted burnt-hair," Diddy muttered, wanting to explode too.

»»»"Day 80. We managed to get those pathetic monkeys to break up!?"

"Oh, no," Dixie whispered as she inserted the penultimate video cassette, which was from the previous day.

Both Diddy and Dixie knew the scenes they would see next and, at the same time, they knew that they would have to prepare themselves to receive and hear the latest humiliations towards them from the quartet.

In that video recording, only the subscreens of 'Ricky' and 'Mandy' were displayed on Hurricane Island with the herd of kidnapped kong children, implying what Jemky and Melenky would be busy with at that moment. Even so, the voices of the latter two could be heard in the video recording as if they were speaking through some intercom device.

(Rocky! Mandrew! We already saw that pair coming here!), Jemky's voice was heard as if it came from another device. (Go put those letters down quickly!... I'll let you know when we're done with those two. Meanwhile, be careful not to call me on this intercom until I call you again!)

«Mandrew: (Alright!)

Mandrew, through 'Mandy', went to some bushes where they had hidden a few letters.

«Rocky: (I still don't have faith in this whole plan, but well... We'll enter through Mr. Pinky's high window and then into his room, right?)

Rocky (RICKY): (Hey, everyone!), he called to the entire herd. (We need three volunteers to come help us hide something).

(But a part of the ship's gunwale broke), one of the children replied, pointing towards the ship. (It needs to be repaired).

Rocky (RICKY): (WHAT?! Nooo! Today we were going to sail the ship and that gunwale reaches all the way to the structural part), he exclaimed, scandalized before trying to calm down. (Urgh, okay, we'll repair it later... But now we need three of you urgently; to those who want to participate we give fifty candies).

(I WANT!), the entire herd exclaimed, rushing towards 'Ricky' and 'Mandy'.

»»»

Rocky (RICKY): (Hurry up, these kids don't have that much strength!), he exclaimed as an external wall of Mr. Pinky's house was visualized.

Mandrew (MANDY): (Wait, I couldn't open that drawer! I'm going to go up again), he responded after having hidden those letters in Mr. Pinky's closet, as had been mentioned before.

Mandrew, through 'Mandy', was getting her out of a high window of the house, where one of the kidnapped kong children helped her up and down to the outside.

(Mandrew! Rocky! We already did it!), Jemky was heard over an intercom.

«Mandrew: (It's Jemky!), he said before the sound of the intercom could be heard. (Okay!)

Rocky (RICKY): (Okay, now let's hide, let's go, fast!).

(Who are we hiding from?), the other kidnapped Kong children asked.

Rocky (RICKY): (Uhh, it's not an important matter, don't ask, please... By the way, be careful not to tell this to anyone else; don't do the same thing again as when you told Diddy and Dixie about our last trap?)

«Mandrew: (Hey, Rocky, if you want, take these kids back to the ship. I'll stay to see if everything goes well).

»»»

«Mandrew: (Here come those monkeys, they're headed for the house!), he said while he had 'Mandy' hidden behind some trees, but with a view towards Mr. Pinky's house.

«Rocky: (Hmm, and let me guess before you say it: do they come hugging or holding hands, so calmed and as if they didn't believe anything-)

«Mandrew: (No, no, no!), he interrupted. (In fact... I don't see Diddy looking so happy).

In the scene, Diddy was seen from afar entering Mr. Pinky's house in a hurry and reluctantly, while Dixie was behind him. It implied that that moment was where Diddy was looking for the letters in Mr. Pinky's closet.

»»»

«Mandrew: (Whoa, wait, wait, wait!), he exclaimed as he saw Diddy now coming down from the house and Dixie behind him. (It seems that the little monkey really isn't happy at all).

(Diddy, no!), Dixie was heard saying. (I swear I didn't even know about those letters! I don't know where they came from! I-I mean, I did send more letters these days, but they were for DK Island!)

(Enough was enough, Dixie! Tell me the truth!), Diddy replied, stopping. (Was that why you wanted to send more letters later?!... And wait a minute, that's why you also told me that Jemky's matter had been a deal and a joke for me?)

(No, Diddy!)

«Mandrew: (They're arguing! They're arguing! I think it didn't turn out that bad!)

«Rocky: (I don't believe you! Really?! Let me listen, let me listen!)

»»»

«Mandrew: (Whoa, whoa, whoa! Jemky has to see this! He has to see this!)

(What?! Hey, no! Diddy!), Dixie exclaimed, taking Diddy's arm. (No, no, no! Wait, Diddy! I don't want to end this because of something so unfair!)

(I'm serious, Dixie Kong!), Diddy replied, turning away. (I'm not going to continue with this, you don't want to explain to me how everything happened!)

«Rocky: (I… don't… believe… this… This has to be a camera failure!)

(DIDDY! No, Diddy, please!), Dixie exclaimed, trying to run after Diddy while he was already far away. (Ugh, you know what?! I'll find out all this for MYSELF AND I'LL PROVE YOU OTHERWISE, DIDDY!)

«Rocky: (It can't be, I take back my words! I TAKE MY WORDS BACK!... Was it achieved?!)

«Mandrew: (WELL, YES! Did you just hear the same thing as me?! The monkey told her they broke up!... What time do Jemky and Melenky arrive?! We have to tell them but NOW!)

«Rocky: (By the way, go back to Mandy where the boat is too; we have to solve that gunwale thing... And wow, I swear I thought that plan wasn't going to work with those two).

While for Diddy and Dixie that moment had been quite frustrating, painful and now outrageous, for the quartet it was simply like a television show.

»»»

«Melenky: (What's going on?! Talk!), he exclaimed as the 'Melvyn' and 'Jenny' subscreens came back on.

«Rocky: (We have good news and bad news for you... Well, the bad news is that an important piece of the darn gunwale got broken, and we won't be able to sail the ship today!... And the good news is that... the whole plan worked with those two monkeys!)

«Jemky: (SWEAR TO ME!... R-really?! Or are you lying-)

«Mandrew: (No! Is seriously! The monkey even went to the house to look for the letters in Mr. Pinky's closet! I was watching them and I saw their entire argument that they later had, it seems that Diddy did believe everything, Dixie kept insisting him to believe her, the monkey was crying and told her that he no longer wanted to be her boyfriend and broke up with her!)

«Rocky: (Hey, Jemky, I apologize for underestimating your plan, but it really worked just the way you wanted it to!)

«Jemky: (Oh, no, no, no, it has to be a joke! Did you see?! I told you IT WAS GOING TO WORK!... Although we would still have to make sure that they have really broken up. It's not going to be like last time with that wrench trap).

«Rocky: (Well, let's go solve that gunwale piece matter while you two tell us how things went with that pair of monkeys).

«Jemky: (Well, what can I tell you? I hadn't seen those two with my own eyes for a while; they even thought I was really dead because of the shot; I still remember their faces as if they were seeing my spirit).

«Mandrew: (And did you show them all the fabricated evidence we made?)

«Jemky: (Absolutely! I showed them the letter, the painting, the photos, I showed them that I don't have any scar from the gunshot, I lied to them that Dixie had given me the emerald and wanted to steal Diddy's pyramid, and I even mentioned the meaning that Dixie has with that emerald).

«Melenky: (You had to see that dumb monkey Diddy's face with everything Jemky showed).

"This stupid burnt-hair!" Diddy exclaimed angrily as he listened to the scene, as did Dixie.

»»»

«Jemky: (Deny everything, pretend that you know absolutely nothing about the topic!)

Rocky (RICKY): (Huh? But what's the point of this, Dixie?), he asked, feigning confusion at what Dixie was saying when she went to look for them to ask if they didn't have something to do with the matter about the fabricated evidences. (What's wrong with you?!)

(Uh, forget it), Dixie replied.

«Jemky: (Hmm, let's see what else she tells us).

Jemky (JENNY): (Ricky! Are these the ones we need?), he said, purposely appearing in front of Dixie along with the others in the group, holding some pieces of wood.

Mandrew (MANDY): (Dixie!), he exclaimed, feigning surprise too. (What brings you here?)

(Uhh… no, nothing. I just wanted to greet you. Goodbye!), Dixie replied before leaving completely.

«Jemky: (Oops, so it looks like IT IS TRUE!), he exclaimed with so much excitement. (THE PLAN WORKED!)

«Melenky: (That means they broke up!)

«Mandrew: (Oh, poor monkey girl, it seems that her boyfriend didn't want to believe her), he added in a sarcastic tone.

«Rocky: (And by the way, what happened to Diddy?... Ugh, I'm not a fan of gossip, but with those two there is an exception at this moment).

«Jemky: (That one has to be crying, and I hope he is! Idiot monkey).

»»»

The next scene showed, through the subscreens of 'Ricky', 'Melvyn' and 'Mandy', themselves with the herd of kong children repairing the gunwale of the ship that had broken down. But through Jenny's subscreen, Diddy was seen in the distance, who was apparently sitting on the branch of a tree, lamenting after what had happened between Dixie and him.

This scene caused the current Dixie pity and, likewise, enormous shame for Diddy, who was just trying to stay calm, since he already sensed the humiliating comments and actions that he would hear from Jemky.

«Jemky: (Wow, what did I say? That plan had to work no matter what), he said before speaking mockingly while focusing on Diddy. (Oh, poor stupid monkey, look how he's crying for his now ex-girlfriend... Hmm, but let's see if he really broke up with her. If he responds to Jenny's advances it's because he broke up with Dixie… And so, I could even make Dixie won't love him anymore either).

«Rocky: (Hey, but don't bother the monkey now; bring those vines that we need here first).

«Jemky: (I'll just ask him to confirm; nothing will happen. This is the last phase of the plan. I'll bring you those vines later).

«Rocky: (Ugh! You really are stubborn).

Jemky, ignoring as always, headed 'Jenny' to where Diddy was, who, upon noticing her, tried to hide his low mood.

Jemky (JENNY): (Uh… Hi, Diddy!), she greeted him, faking a smile. (Uhh… is something going on?)

(No), Diddy replied without looking up.

Jemky headed 'Jenny' to sit next to him, but Diddy looked at her strangely and moved away from her.

Jemky (JENNY): (Hey, don't worry, I won't do anything to you... What do you have?... Is something wrong?)

(No, it's nothing), he replied, turning his gaze.

»»»

Jemky (JENNY): (Well, but if you need anything, I could help you), she added, feigning kindness. (Uhh… isn't it anything about Dixie, just in case?)

(No… Well, yes… I mean…), Diddy replied, turning his back. (That shouldn't matter to you!)

«Jemky: (Oops, what a pity, little monkey), he commented, trying to contain a laugh. (So, those two broke up!)

»»»

(By the way, Jenny, it's not to be bad, but… I need to be alone now, please, okay?)

Jemky (JENNY): (Oh, okay… it's okay), she replied, smiling at Diddy and trying to hug him. (But don't feel bad anymore, Diddy. Maybe Dixie didn't feel the same-)

(Hey, wait a minute!), Diddy exclaimed, moving away instantly.

Jemky (JENNY): (What? Hey, I just wanted to give you a hug to make you feel better. Don't you want me to hug you?)

(Well, no, thank you. And I said I wanted to be alone now).

Jemky (JENNY): (But I do want to hug you, Diddy. Don't be shy, I want to be with-)

Diddy tried to get up immediately, but was stopped by 'Jenny'.

(No, no, no, Jenny! Don't think that cause of that I'm going to allow you-)

«Jemky: (Now this dumb monkey will fall once and for all!), he exclaimed at the moment he cornered him against the tree.

(Jenny, no, seriously!)

Jemky (JENNY): (Well, but if you're feeling bad, how about… you give me a chance now, Diddy?… Come on, monke-)

(No, let go of me!), Diddy exclaimed before getting free and trying to run away from her.

«Jemky: (UGH, don't be a coward, stupid monkey!), he exclaimed, cornering him against the tree to get closer to him.

(No, Jenny!), Diddy exclaimed as he pushed her away and made her fall to the ground from the height of the branch.

«Jemky: (This stupid monkey! Has he never seen a pretty girl like Jenny?!), he exclaimed while 'Jenny' was lying motionless on the floor, and the only thing that could be seen on the screen was her hair. (Huh? What's wrong? Was the camera damaged or what?)

(Oh… No, no, no! Jenny!), Diddy was heard saying desperately and beginning to move 'Jenny'. (Jenny, Jenny! D-did I push you really hard?! Forgive me, I didn't want to! It's that you also were-)

«Jemky: (One moment! Why can't I move?!), he exclaimed at the moment that Diddy turned her upwards and now it could be seen the sky and Diddy's face, who showed a huge expression alarmed.

(No…), Diddy said, breathing heavily. (Oh, no… Oh, no! Jenny! JENNY!)

«Jemky: (Oh, nooo, no, no, no! Don't tell me this stupid monkey turned her off! BLAST!), he exclaimed, trying to get 'Jenny' to react.

«Rocky: (WHAT HAPPENED?! WHAT DID YOU SAY?!)

«Melenky: (WHAT HAPPENED TO JENNY?!)

«Jemky: (IT LOOKS LIKE THE MONKEY TURNED HER OFF!... No, no, no, DARN IT! GET UP, JENNY, GET UP, GET UP!)

«Mandrew: (Oh, no, no, he's going to discover us!)

«Jemky: (Urgh, this dumb monkey!), he could be heard desperately, pressing some buttons to try to get 'Jenny' to react again.

Diddy, who looked very alarmed, tried to find vital signs to 'Jenny', but in no way did it work. Then, it was the moment when Diddy stared straight and fixed at the camera, that is, at Jenny's eyes, and his expression changed immediately when he seemed to notice that those eyes were emitting a flickering light.

«Jemky: (No, no, no, darn it! Why is he looking that way?!... No, no, WHAT IS HE DOING NOW?!)

Apparently, Diddy not only noticed the shine in her eyes, but also in her ears, where he had found those buttons that were used to turn on, turn off or open the heads of those mechanical kongs. Diddy, without thinking so, pressed that button behind Jenny's left ear and, consequently, her head got opened, making him instantly scared.

«Jemky: (NOOO! DARN IT, DARN IT, DARN IT!), he exclaimed at the same time that he could be heard hitting the buttons of the platform with which he controlled 'Jenny', but it was in vain.

«Rocky: (NO, NO, NO! BUT WHAT DID YOU DO, JEMKY?! HE ALREADY DISCOVERED US!)

«Jemky: (IT WAS THAT MONKEY! That monkey pushed Jenny, made her fall and it seems she turned off!)

Diddy, with a completely stunned expression, slowly approached 'Jenny' again, and then observed her open head in detail. While he trembled and looked fearful, he extended her hand toward the camera and covered it with a finger, implying that he was touching Jenny's eyes. With that, Diddy looked more afraid and confused, at the same time that he began to shake and breathe heavily again.

«Jemky: (Darn! What do I do now?!)

«Mandrew: (You can't do anything, you fool, unless that monkey turns it back on!)

Diddy was then seen taking both divisions of Jenny's head and reattaching it until it was closed. Afterwards, he continued giving small taps to the eyes and could see that they were made of rubber and glass. He then checked her right ear and pressed the button, with which Jenny's mechanism turned on again.

«Jemky: (It's already turned on, it's already turned on! I can move again!), he exclaimed, making 'Jenny' get up again and causing another scare to Diddy.

(J-Je-Jenny... are you okay? Is that y-you?!), Diddy stammered, keeping his distance from her.

«Rocky: (Jemky, for whatever you want most, run away! RUN FROM THAT MONKEY!)

Jemky, without making 'Jenny' respond, proceeded to make her run immediately.

(Hey, wait!), Diddy exclaimed, who was seen starting to run after her. (JENNY!)

Jemky tried to make 'Jenny' run as fast as he could. But later, Diddy, with his greatest speed, managed to catch up with her.

Jemky (JENNY): (NO, NO, LET ME GO, MONKEY!), she yelled at him, trying to get away from him and even slapping him.

(Hey, I just want an explanatio-), Diddy replied, dodging her blows and trying to hold her tightly. (Are you a robot?!)

Jemky (JENNY): (NO! IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!)

Diddy was struggling to stop her, while 'Jenny' tried to push him away. When suddenly, Diddy grabbed her ear again and pressed the off button on her ear, leaving her motionless again.

«Jemky: (Oh, darn! YOU GO HELP JENNY!)

«Mandrew: (It's what we want to do most but right now we are holding a heavy piece of that ship).

«Jemky: (Ugh, what the heck with you!)

In the video recording, Diddy was seen inspecting 'Jenny', who then opened her head again and observed in detail the mechanism it had inside. He looked so stunned on his face that he didn't even seem like he had been sad for Dixie.

«Jemky: (Get away, monkey! Oh, darn it!), he grumbled while he could do nothing.

«Rocky: (Oh, I think I already know why Jenny turned off so easily, Jemky... Because the monkey threw that fruit juice at her and that left her defective!)

«Jemky: (Oh, are you serious?!)

Then, Diddy turned on 'Jenny' again, whom Jemky immediately made her give him a couple of hard slaps and a push and then continue running away from him.

(HEY, I JUST WANTED TO ASK YOU WHAT YOU ARE!), Diddy replied, getting up and going after her again.

On Jenny's subscreen, it was observed for several minutes how she ran aimlessly and focused between moments behind her, where Diddy could be seen running after her. Between moments, Diddy managed to reach her, but she pushed him away from her and continued running away from him until she tried to hide behind abundant vegetation.

«Jemky: (Ah, what time does this monkey give up? I'm getting tired of simulating running!), he said with a breathless voice.

(Come here! I just want to know who you are and why you are like this!), Diddy replied, catching her and holding her arms. (You're not real, right?!)

Jemky (JENNY): (What are you saying?! Of course I am, you're crazy, monkey!) she reaffirmed, trying to get loose.

(I'm not crazy, you're a robot, right?! Why does your head open up and you have some wires and a black box inside?)

Jemky (JENNY): (What wires?! What box?! You're crazy!)

(But I just want an explanation! Are you the only one like that or what?! What are you or who are you really?!)

Jemky (JENNY): (Let's see, if you kiss me, I'll tell you, okay?!), she responded, trying to approach him.

(Hey, NO!), Diddy replied, releasing her and moving away from her, but then he shrugged it off. (Ugh, you're not real anyways!)

Jemky (JENNY): (Urgh, blasted monkey!), he exclaimed, stopping following him and running away from him again.

They both ran between those trees and some large bushes while Diddy asked her more questions and ran after her. Until at one point, Diddy caught her again and held her arms tightly.

(But just tell me, please).

Jemky (JENNY): (I already told you! If you kiss me now, I'll tell you).

Suddenly, movements beyond their control began to be heard from the large bushes nearby. To their surprise, it was no one more and no less than Dixie, who, as soon as she saw them, made a shocked gesture and froze.

«Jemky: (Oh, no, no, no! JUST WHAT WAS MISSING! Dixie can't find out either!)

(W-what?), Dixie stuttered, looking suspiciously at the two.

«Rocky: (Jemky, Jemky, tell her you're that monkey's new girlfriend or something, BUT DON'T LET THAT MONKEY TELL DIXIE FOR NOTHING IN THE WORLD!)

Jemky (JENNY): (Hi, Dixie!), she told him with a forced smile as Diddy held her arms.

(Uh, D-Dixie…), Diddy stuttered, looking at Dixie and then at Jenny. (It's that J-Jenny-)

Jemky (JENNY): (Ah, Dixie, sorry if you don't know yet, but… Diddy and I are going on a date. Right, Diddy?), she interrupted, hugging him and in a sweet tone.

(What?! No, no, wait, wait!), Diddy exclaimed.

Jemky (JENNY): (Yes, Diddy. Hadn't you told me that you broke up with Dixie and now agreed to date me? Or were you lying?)

(Yes, we broke up, but I didn't say that).

Jemky (JENNY): (Hey, are you denying me?!), she insisted, shoving him and feigning anger. (You told me you'll date me!)

(Wait a minute, Diddy!), Dixie exclaimed, looking at him. (D-did you really break up with me?)

Jemky (JENNY): (Yes, he said he doesn't love you anymore, Dixie! And then he proposed to me to go on a date).

»»»

(No, wait a minute, Diddy! How's that?! You told me that ours is over, but not for me yet!)

(How could it not?! You didn't want to explain to me what really happened there).

«Jemky: (Oh, for all the diamonds and millipedes in the world! I'm watching them argue live!), he exclaimed with excitement as Diddy and Dixie continued replying to each other. (This got tense!)

«Melenky: (Wow, wow, wow, watch out; they're going to fight!), he added in a mocking tone.

«Mandrew: (I have to admit this turned out better than we expected!)

(Oh, look, Dixie… I do want to believe you, but with that I have no way, really… Now if you'll excuse... I was solving something about Jenny that-)

Jemky (JENNY): (Yeah, Dixie, I'm sorry., but we're going out. And I know you two don't have anything anymore-)

»»»

Jemky (JENNY): (Yeah, you told me that recently, Diddy! That Dixie was a fake one to you for lying to you about that other boy and that they even had photos!)

(Hey, Diddy!), replied Dixie. (Ugh, how could you, Diddy Kong?!)

Jemky: (Well, that's enough, I need Dixie to leave).

Jemky (JENNY): (Admit it, Diddy! You said you're going to date me and that you don't love Dixie anymore because of what she did to you!)

(Urgh, you know what? Better break it up, Diddy!), Dixie exclaimed, before turning angrily to leave.

(Hey, wait!), Diddy exclaimed. (Ugh, okay, whatever you say, Dixie!)

«Jemky: (OHHH, but what am I hearing!), he exclaimed with shouts of shock along with the group.

«Mandrew: (WHAT DID HE SAY, WHAT DID HE SAY?!)

«Melenky: (I can't believe it! This is better than a comedy show!)

«Jemky: (Ohh, what a pity, my dear Dixie!), he said sarcastically at the moment Dixie was leaving the area.

«Mandrew: (I think this is the best part of the whole plan!)

«Jemky: (Wow, I didn't know this was so much fun!), he commented with a few mocking laughs. (Ohh, poor monkeys, their indestructible relationship was not after all... Anyways, the show is over; what do we do with this monkey now if he just discovered us?!)

«Rocky: (Run away from him, Jemky!)

«Mandrew: (No, no, actually I don't think that's a good idea; the monkey can go find Dixie and he'll tell her. I say we kidnap him by force!... Distract him meanwhile, Jemky. We'll go for him now; wait for us!)

(Dixie…), Diddy was heard whispering quietly in the video recording.

«Jemky: (Huh? Wait, is the monkey crying?)

Diddy continued to watch Dixie from a long distance away. He turned his face again and began to wipe his eyes, because indeed, a few tears could be seen wanting to flow from them.

Jemky (JENNY): (Hey, but why are you crying if it's already over-)

(Well, now, tell me what you really are!), Diddy said to 'Jenny', holding her arm tighter and trying to hold back his tears for the moment. (You're a robot!)

Jemky (JENNY): (Uhh… hey, Diddy… don't you want a kiss?) she said, getting close to his face and diverting the topic.

(No!), he responded by moving away, but still holding her at the same time. (Tell me now! Are you some kind of secret agent robot?! Are Ricky and the others like that too or-)

Jemky (JENNY): (Uh, hey, Diddy, Diddy, calm down), she added, trying to ignore what he was saying. (Hey, how about you tell me what happened with Dixie?)

(Don't change the topic!), Diddy replied, filling with tears again, but trying to contain them. (I just want an explanation! And by the way… how do you know what happened with Dixie?!)

Jemky (JENNY): (Well, we heard it through the grapevine somewhere; gossip travels fast, Diddy… Oh, don't cry, precious Diddy), she said in a sweet tone. (Maybe Dixie wasn't for you, do you miss her now?)

(It's none of your business! And tell me now what you are!), he replied, inevitably releasing some tears.

Jemky (JENNY): (Or how about we kiss to make you feel better?), she said playfully, now holding his arms to him.

(No, Jenny!)

Jemky (JENNY): (Come on, I kissed you last week anyways), she added, cornering him again towards one of the trees and ignoring everything he said.

(NO! And stop thinking you're going to distract me this way, Jen-)

Jemky started again trying to make 'Jenny' kiss him, but Diddy didn't allow her. Even so, Diddy didn't push her away so much this time, because he had to discover the reason for that mechanical appearance that 'Jenny' had.

(Just tell me!... Or is someone controlling you or what?!)

Jemky (JENNY): (NO! And stop asking!)

Diddy continued to push 'Jenny' away and hold her at the same time, although he didn't care so much anymore that she tried to get close to him since he now knew that she wasn't a real kong girl.

«Rocky: (We are almost there! Hold him, Jemky, don't let him go!)

On the other subscreens, the other three kids were seen heading towards where Diddy was with 'Jenny'. They tried not to make noise when they were already close to him, at the same time that they were taking out some stakes and small spears made of wood and stones, as well as some vines.

«Rocky: (Now, guys, it's now or never with that monkey!)

And, suddenly, Rocky, through 'Ricky', surprised Diddy by holding his neck with his arm and, instantly, he pointed out one of the spears to him, which ended in a very sharp stone that put Diddy's tension immediately.

(WHAT THE-)

Rocky (RICKY): (STAY STILL!)

Then, 'Mandy' and 'Melvyn' rushed towards Diddy too, and quickly wrapped his arms with the vines, which contained branches with thorns that were beginning to make Diddy's attempts to defend himself difficult.

(Hey, what's wrong with you?!), Diddy exclaimed, shocked at the sudden scene that arose.

Suddenly, 'Mandy' and 'Melvyn' also began to intimidate him with their wooden and stone weapons. 'Mandy' gave one to 'Jenny' and she joined in to intimidate him too.

(W-WHAT IS THIS?!), Diddy exclaimed, trying to untie himself, but those vines caused him scratches as soon as he tried to struggle. (LET GO OF ME, WHAT DID I DO TO Y-)

Rocky (RICKY): (SILENCE, MONKEY!), he exclaimed, squeezing him for a few seconds, before releasing him and bringing the sharp stone closer to him. (Just stay quiet).

(BUT WHAT IS THE REASON FOR THIS-)

'Jenny' also pressed his neck with one hand while with the other she held the spear, which grazed his chest.

Jemky (JENNY): (Shut up, little monkey. Keep quiet if you want mercy from us), she told him threateningly before releasing him.

(NO! YOU'RE GOING TO TELL ME RIGHT NOW WHAT HAPPENED TO-)

Mandrew (MANDY): (WE SAID SHUT UP!), she responded by slapping him and then bringing the sharp stone closer to his neck. (Don't scream or it'll be very bad for yo-)

(I WON'T SHUT UP!)

Diddy began to raise his legs in an agitated manner and accidentally kicked 'Melvyn' in the head, to the point of making it split open like 'Jenny'. Diddy screamed in shock when he saw that, while 'Jenny' and 'Mandy' instantly closed Melvyn's head.

(BUT WHAT ON EARTH WITH YO-)

Diddy began to scream in pain as 'Melvyn' pressed the thorny vines harder against his arms, and then gave him another slap to silence him. Then, 'Melvyn' began to wrap more of those vines around the rest of his body, and then they took him between all four by his limbs, and began to walk carrying him hanging.

(No, no, no, WAIT! TELL ME WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOU-)

Rocky (RICKY): (SILENCE!), he replied, slapping him along the way and pressing his vines.

«Melenky: (Where are we going to leave him?)

«Rocky: (We can leave him tied to a tree, and at night in one of the cabins of the ship, there we'll lock him and secure the door).

Diddy tried to free himself, but in the position they were taking him, it was almost impossible. Furthermore, he was surrounded by vines with fine thorns, which caused him scratches at any attempt to exert force or put-up resistance.

»»»

(WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! I'VE DONE NOTHING TO YOU!), Diddy shouted as he was being tied to a tree by the quartet. (I'm not going to be friends with you again just in case-)

'Ricky' slapped him to silence him, while the other three kids intimidated him again with their stone weapons.

(TELL ME!), Diddy demanded, shaking his legs and complaining of pain from the thorny vines. (WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?! Why did you want to catch me like this?!)

(It's Diddy!), said one of the kong children from the kidnapped herd, appearing on the scene. (Is he going to come with us?)

Suddenly, several of the kidnapped kong children gathered to see Diddy.

Rocky (RICKY): (No, no, LEAVE HIM ALONE! DON'T TOUCH HIM!), he exclaimed, pushing them aside and ordering them in an authoritarian tone. (You guys go back and finish the adjustments to the ship! NO ONE comes close to Diddy!)

(Hey, what's wrong with you?!), Diddy exclaimed, shocked at the quartet's attitude, since he didn't remember having seen them treating the herd of kong children like that.

The quartet turned their backs on Diddy without saying anything out loud, while he continued yelling at them and insisting that they give him an explanation.

«Rocky: (Now, let's finish adjusting the ship and tomorrow we'll finally set sail).

«Mandrew: (Why don't we go get Dixie right now too?)

«Rocky: (Dixie is harder to catch; she has her hair and is more aggressive, she'll take all the screws out of these mechanical monkeys… And it's better that Jemky doesn't even participate in the kidnapping, since Dixie may leave Jenny crashed because of what happened. We would have to ask our dads to help us, even with Diddy we'll need some help; he's trying to put up resistance).

«Melenky: (Or I say we give up about Dixie; we'll just take Diddy... I don't think our dads want to catch two particular monkeys when we already have forty more ones).

«Jemky: (No, no, we must take Dixie too, even if we have to catch her by force).

«Melenky: (Oh, you only want her to be your girlfriend. Leave her alone now; she doesn't love you).

«Jemky: (Maybe not now, but remember that she must have already been disappointed in Diddy, so I may still be able to convince her to give me a chance, you'll see. I know that at least I have to look handsome for her).

«Mandrew: (You really are stubborn!… Well, anyway, are we going to catch Dixie or what?)

(TELL ME! WHY DO YOU WANT ME HERE?!), Diddy shouted desperately, trying to shake his limbs in vain. (WHAT DID I DO TO YOU?! If I did something wrong and I haven't found out, forgive me, but let me go and explain-)

Jemky (JENNY): (URGH, SHUT UP NOW, YOU STUPID MONKEY!), he replied, going towards him and slapping him.

(But what happens to you?! Just tell me what I've done to you or why you have me here like this!... I know we're no longer friends, but it's not for-)

Rocky (RICKY): (SHUT UP ONCE FOR ALL! Quiet), he told him, taking him by the shirt and putting one of the stone spears around his neck along with the rest of the group.

Although Jenny and company's quartet always had the faces of harmless children, at that moment they showed looks that, when analyzed in depth, were almost identical to those that Jemky and company had when they threatened.

(Hey, hey, hey, just listen to me, please), Diddy responded, speaking more calmly and beginning to fear them. (I don't know what this is about. I know we're not friends anymore, but at no time have I done anything bad to you, and if I have, you can tell me and we'll fix it, okay?... And just in case it's about Jenny, I didn't mean to hurt her or something like that; she cornered me and I just pushed her away, but she fell out of the tree... And I don't know why she was paralyzed and... her head split open and... Are you guys some kind of robots or what?! Is Melvyn like that too, by the way?!... What about you guys, Mandy and Ricky?! Are you like that too?)

The quartet just lowered their stone weapons and turned their backs on Diddy without answering him, and then walked away from him, letting him speak alone.

(HEY, BUT ANSWER ME!), Diddy replied. (Just clarify this for me!)

«Rocky: (Don't tell him anything, and don't talk about it out loud through the microphones).

«Mandrew: (Okay, but I think putting something on his snout; he's screaming at us like crazy… And threatening him is useless because we have to take him alive).

«Jemky: (Right now I'm looking for some vines to tie him to).

«Rocky: (By the way, I think Ricky needs a little oil on the arm and head screws, can you help me?)

Melenky and Mandrew, using their respective mechanical kongs, took some tools and began to make some adjustments to 'Ricky', among which they involved lifting the skin on his arm and opening his head, which earned other scream of shock from Diddy, who desperately asked them again the reason for their mechanical appearance.

(RICKY!), Diddy exclaimed from his position. (So, all of you…?!)

«Jemky: (Oh, but don't make those adjustments in front of the monkey!)

Jemky (JENNY): (You haven't seen anything, okay?!), she said to Diddy, heading back towards him and then threatening him with the stone spear.

(Jenny… please, I just want an explanation), Diddy told him seriously. (I really don't understand anything about this. First of all, I don't know what you guys are-)

Jemky (JENNY): (Look, Diddy), she interrupted without lowering her spear. (Why don't you just stay quiet and calm? Better think about Dixie or something).

(Urgh, don't change the topic!), he responded grumbling and, at the same time, his eyes became moist.

Jemky (JENNY): (Ohh, I have forgotten it, Dixie is no longer your girlfriend, right?), she said in a mocking tone. (Don't you love her anymore?)

(That's none of your business!), he replied, trying to flail his limbs, but he hurt himself doing so. (Now I just want to know the context of this! Tell me!)

Jemky (JENNY): (Well, it's not your business either!), she exclaimed, approaching him and threatening him with the spear. (Now we would appreciate it if you would stay quiet, or else I'll kiss you again so you can forget about Dixie, okay?… And now you would have no way to escape from me, little monkey).

(Urgh, BUT I JUST WANT YOU TO TELL ME WHAT YOU ARE AND WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT!), Diddy replied, ignoring her. (And by the way, what are you really going to do with that ship and these kids-)

Jemky (JENNY): (JUST SHUT UP!), she interrupted, slapping him. (Don't ask, you have nothing to know).

(BUT I NEED TO KNOW-)

'Jenny' slapped him and, after that, wrapped a vine around his snout and tied it tightly, while Diddy continued screaming with his mouth closed.

Jemky (JENNY): (Cute little monkey), she said, smiling at him and subtly taking his chin, before leaving.

«Rocky: (Better leave him in the cabin right now).

The quartet picked up Diddy again and began to move him. Diddy showed enormous desperation as he tried to scream and thrash, but to no avail. Finally, they took him into one of the ship's cabins and then simply locked him up.

»»»

The following scenes were in the early morning, where the quartet always took turns during the night to stay awake and make sure everything was in order. None of the four could be heard speaking, and only one of the subscreens was displayed, which belonged to 'Ricky', where the ship and the huts they had for the herd of kong children could be seen.

Suddenly, Melvyn's subscreen turned on, and what was displayed was nothing more than Diddy's face, who seemed to be observing 'Melvyn' in detail while he had him hidden among the trees. He even pressed the button that opened his head and began to inspect into its internal mechanism.

"How did you manage to free yourself?" Dixie asked Diddy, observing the scene.

"Luckily you didn't pick up all the debris from the cabin a few days ago. So, I found one and with that I was able to cut the vines with thorns that were tied to my hands. I went out the window and tried not to let Ricky see me… Well, who we used to call Ricky."

«Rocky: (MELENKYYY!), he shouted in a desperate way. (Wake up, wake up! THE MONKEY CAUGHT MELVYN!... JEMKY! MANDREW! WAKE UP TOO!)

«Melenky: (Huh?... But what-)

Rocky: (Hurry up! Lift up Melvyn and let's catch that monkey!... Blast! How did he escape?!)

Melenky made 'Melvyn' move, suddenly scaring Diddy, but then the two of them lunged at each other to not let each other escape. Subsequently, Rocky also joined in to catch Diddy through 'Ricky'.

«Rocky: (JEMKY! MANDREW!), he called them as they struggled with Diddy.

«Jemky: (OH, WHAT'S UP?!)

«Mandrew: (BUT HOW DID THAT MONKEY COME OUT?!)

(NO, NO, LEAVE ME!), Diddy exclaimed, trying to defend himself from 'Ricky' and 'Melvyn'.

Diddy, with no other alternative, began to slap them both and lunged at 'Ricky' and then pressed the off button.

«Rocky: (OH, DARN!)

'Melvyn' lunged at Diddy, but he managed to stop him and knocked him to the ground and then turned him off as well.

«Melenky: (Jemky and Mandrew, help us!)

«Jemky: (We'll take over it!)

'Jenny' and 'Mandy' appeared behind Diddy and knocked him to the ground as well. 'Jenny' was in charge of keeping Diddy restrained while 'Mandy' went to turn 'Melvyn' and 'Ricky' back on. Diddy managed to give 'Jenny' a push and lunged at her to turn her off, and then he went to lunge at 'Mandy' and turned her off as well. Unfortunately, 'Mandy' had managed to turn 'Ricky' and 'Melvyn' back on before, and they launched themselves to attack Diddy. In the middle of the act, they also turned 'Jenny' and 'Mandy' back on, and now the four of them were active again and attacked Diddy.

The quartet struggled for a while against Diddy, who was now putting up more resistance to avoid getting caught. The four of them tried to hold him by the limbs and gave him a few blows to make him stay still. Diddy got to the point of having to defend himself in any way possible, and he also began to slap and kick all four of them without exception, even hitting the buttons that opened their heads.

A few struggles later, Diddy managed to free himself from the quartet and began to run at full speed, away from the site.

«Rocky: (NOOO, DON'T LET HIM ESCAPE! LET'S GO AFTER HIM!)

«Jemky: (Darn, if we lose him, he'll rat us out!)

The quartet also began the chase, which was a little complicated because Diddy was quite agile and climbed the trees and then came down using the vines, something that was difficult for the quartet due to their fragility.

»»»

«Jemky: (There's the monkey! Come on, don't let him get into the house!)

The quartet had assumed that Diddy would head to Mr. Pinky's house, and so he did. The four of them, stealthily, began to climb the stairs of the house while they heard Diddy knocking on the door without stopping.

(DIXIE! DIXIE!), Diddy called to the door with extreme desperation. (PLEASE, OPEN!... DIXIE!)

«Mandrew: (Oh, no, no, we'll have to take over Dixie too right now!)

«Melenky: (I think Dixie is not at home; she doesn't answer him).

(DIXIE, IT'S URGENT, PLEASE!)

The four of them went up to the porch where Diddy and Dixie's room was. They walked in silence until they came up behind Diddy, and acted quickly to catch him.

(NO, NO, LET GO OF ME!... DIXIE!)

"Uh, hey, Dixie, didn't you ever listen to me?", Diddy asked Dixie as they watched the scene.

"Diddy, I wasn't home at that time; I slept outside the shelter... I had no idea that all that was happening, I'm sorry."

The quartet was seen on the scene struggling with Diddy to try to hold him back, but he was putting up quite a bit of resistance and now he was defending himself with blows against the four.

Melenky (MELVYN): (Darn it! This monkey is going to destroy these robot monkeys!)

Mandrew (MANDY): (HEY, DON'T TALK LOUD, TURN OFF THE MICROPHONE!)

(W-what?!), Diddy exclaimed in the middle of the struggle due to the carelessness of both of them in speaking loudly.

«Jemky: (HEY, BUT DON'T BE DUMB, DON'T RAT US OUT!)

(BUT WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU?!), Diddy replied before giving the four of them a few final blows and pushes, and then got out of the house and fled at full speed.

«Rocky: (DON'T LET HIM GO, REACH HIM!)

The quartet got down from the house and began to chase Diddy without stopping. On the subscreens, only Diddy's silhouette could be seen running in front of them in the middle of lush vegetation.

«Melenky: (Ugh, I can't take it anymore!), he said at the same time that he could be heard panting from fatigue. (Is there no way for these mechanical monkeys to run in automatic mode?!)

«Jemky: (We can't give up; that monkey could tell someone about this and bye-bye everything!)

Diddy began to climb a slope that had a semi-rocky ground, and he kicked a few small stones at the quartet, which were falling in their faces and obstructing their vision.

«Rocky: (No, no, let's go there better!), he pointed in another direction.

The quartet climbed some trees on the sides of the path Diddy was climbing. They kept moving like this until they reached flat ground and, trying to make a surprise move, they lunged at Diddy and managed to grab him.

(NO, LEAVE ME NOW! FOR THE LAST TIME: I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WANT FROM ME!), Diddy exclaimed, struggling to get free of them. (I know you guys are scheming something, I KNOW YOU ARE-)

They all dealt him a few blows to leave him stunned, but even so, Diddy hit back at the four of them to defend himself, no matter who it was. It should be said that the narrow site of the confrontation had other dark slopes on the sides, which made the five of them slip slightly.

Later, between all the punching and pushing, the four of them gave one back to Diddy; it was so strong that this time it made him slide down one of the slopes to the point of him no longer being able to stand up. Diddy, out of survival instinct, grabbed Melvyn's ankle, making him slip as well, but the other three kids caught him in time. 'Melvyn' gave Diddy a single kick and got him to let go… and made Diddy roll completely down towards that dark slope; his yells of despair were heard further and further away, at the same time that his silhouette was lost in the dark.

«Rocky: ()

«Jemky: (…)

«Mandrew: (…)

«Melenky: (… And… what will happen to him now?), he asked after a silence.

«Rocky: (Uhh... well... I don't think he'll come out of there, right?)

«Mandrew: (So, he won't rat us out?... Unless he survives).

«Jemky: (Well... he brought it on himself for being nosy, in the first place... And we better get out of here before anyone sees us).

"Diddy! And how did you get out of there?"

"Oh, no, don't remind me," Diddy replied. "At the bottom of that slope it was so muddy and rocky that it took me hours to get out of there… and it could have been worse."

»»»"Day 81"

The last videocassette was about that same day they were there. It didn't have any written title so it was assumed that it hadn't recorded the completed day.

The images it showed were about the quartet returning to the site where the ship was. They seemed to have given up on chasing Diddy after he fell down the hillside.

«Melenky: (Today we'll sail the ship no matter what!)

«Mandrew: (Yes, but without those two monkeys. I wanted to see them along with these other children too!)

«Rocky: (But we can't anymore; we can't get into that dark hillside to look for that monkey, right?... And as for Dixie, I don't recommend going after her... but we can tell our dads to take over and catch her!)

«Jemky: (What are you saying? How come we can't go get Dixie? Maybe she doesn't even feel like fighting now because of her breakup with Diddy; she's an easy target right now... And I repeat: our dads are not going to want to go specifically for her when we already have these other kids).

«Melenky: (But we won't be able to catch her by force! And at the same time, we can't let her get lost... I think we would have to tell our dads to help us catch her, who can tell them?)

«Mandrew: (I'll tell them if you want, as soon as they come).

«Jemky: (Hey, hey, are you serious?! Of course we can go catch her ourselves through these mechanical monkeys).

«Rocky: (And do you want her to destroy them? We can't hurt these mechanical monkeys, even with Diddy they got already hurt a little).

«Melenky: (Hey!... I think our dads arrived), he said as additional sounds began to be heard in the building.

«Mandrew: (I-I think so! It's now or never; I'll tell them to help us with Dixie! Do you have any photos of her?!)

«Rocky: (From the photos Jemky cut out! There are pictures of Diddy and Dixie there! SHOW THEM TO THEM!)

«Jemky: (HEY, NO, NO, NO! You're going to make our dads angry! They are NOT going to want to fulfill our whim!)

«Rocky: (Ugh, Jemky! Dixie will be another kid for the collection of mechanical kids that they'll have, how can they not want to accept her?!... Besides, are you going to tell me that you don't want to see Dixie again? Didn't you want to rescue her so that she would later love you?)

«Jemky: (But we can go after her ourselves, I know we can! Or are you saying that you're afraid of a girl?!)

«Mandrew: (Oh, the one who was afraid of girls when he was little spoke).

«Rocky: (Mandrew!)

«Jemky: (Look, I'd appreciate it if you didn't mention that to me, you idiot!), he spoke through clenched teeth. (And I'm telling you that our dads are going to get angry and tell us NO! So, let's go get Dixie ourselves!)

«Mandrew: (NO! Dixie is going to fight back and tear these mechanical monkeys apart, get it!)

«Rocky: (And by the way, Jemky, you yourself told us not to use force when we kidnapped these other kids, now with Dixie you change your mind?)

«Jemky: (Go ahead then! You wanted and felt capable of capturing these kids by force, why don't you apply it now with Dixie?)

«Melenky: (WE CAN'T DO IT, JEMKY! We have to tell our dads no matter what!)

«Rocky: (I'm going to tell them! Excuse me!), he said, apparently withdrawing.

«Mandrew: (Me too, let's go!)

«Jemky: (HEY, NO!... UGH! They're going to tell you no, YOU'LL SEE!)

»»»

«Rocky: (Oh no, no, no, darn, WE DO NEED TO CATCH THOSE TWO MONKEYS!), he exclaimed, scandalized after rejoining later.

In the following scenes, Jenny's quartet was in the same place where Diddy had fallen towards the dark slope. Everyone even tried to go down that slope carefully, although they didn't get that far down... The situation seemed to have taken a sudden turn.

«Mandrew: (Well, I don't see any traces of Diddy around here).

«Jemky: (Wait, wait, wait!... Did our dads really tell you that?!... How do they know those two monkeys?!)

«Mandrew: (YEAH! They told us that they do know them, AND THAT THEY WANT BOTH OF THEM NO MATTER WHAT! They say they have to settle the score with those monkeys!)

«Melenky: (Settle the score about what? And where do they know them from?)

«Rocky: (They say it's a long story, but that Dixie was also part of the animals they had here a long time ago, and that it was her family who ruined everything for them and left them in crisis for helping the animals escape! And that Diddy was the one who ruined the capture of Dixie and her siblings... I take back what I said! WHERE IS THAT MONKEY?! He must have survived the fall, right?… AND DIXIE! Let's go to find her, no matter what!)

«Melenky: (Wait a minute!... During the time we became 'friends' with those two, Dixie had said something about how some apes held her family captive for a season and chased them to DK Island, until Diddy saved them... So, are you saying that those apes were our dads?)

«Mandrew: (Yeah! They are! But Dixie didn't tell us that many in-depth details; I didn't know).

«Jemky: (Hey... regarding the monkey, I honestly think he got lost or drowned; there is no trace of him in this dark ravine).

«Rocky: (Urgh, but WE NEED him! We have to catch him!... Blast! Or we'd better not have told our dads anything!)

«Jemky: (By the way, weren't you going to tell our dads to go catch them themselves?)

«Rocky: (The thing is that as soon as we showed them the photos of the two of them, they were startled and told us that they know them and that they also want them with the other children! And... we told them that we already had them kidnapped with the rest of the children... You know how they would get if we told them that we actually DO NOT have them kidnapped and that we cannot catch them on our own).

«Jemky: (Oh, well, so, what are we waiting for! Let's catch those two no matter what!)

«Rocky: (But we can't do it through these MECHANICAL MONKEYS either!)

«Jemky: (No problem! We can catch them! We're going to sail the ship soon; they won't have any time if they try to escape!)

«Rocky: (But first of all, Diddy fell down that hillside, and Dixie is going to destroy us if we kidnap her like that! We could catch her if we go by ourselves, but through these mechanical monkeys WE CAN'T!)

«Melenky: (Wait! And first of all, where is Dixie right now? Because she didn't seem to be at their house).

«Jemky: (We'll wait for her nearby, and when she arrives, we'll catch her!)

«Rocky: (Or never mind! We'll tell our dads to catch her!)

«Jemky: (I SAID NO! And much less now that our dads want those monkeys! They're going to want to kill us if we tell them we lost them!... Or unless they lend us their guns…)

(KIDS!), exclaimed an additional deep voice, at the same time as a door was heard opening and slamming shut. (You already have the ship and those little brats ready, right?! You can bring them now; we want them right now!)

There was silence for a while, where a heavy breathing could even be heard from the quartet.

«Mandrew: (Uhh, well... You see, we have a little proble-)

«Jemky: (Uh, hey, of course! Everything is ready and… well…), he stammered with forced laughter. (Hey! Could you wait for us a little longer?! We still have to feed those children for the last time-)

«Rocky: (Oh, what happens is that those two monkeys that we show you in the photo-)

«Jemky: (NO!... I meant-)

(Huh?! What's up with that pair of monkeys?! YOU CATCHED THEM, RIGHT?!)

«Rocky: (NO!)

«Jemky: (YES!), he interrupted. (Uhh, we do have those two, of course we do-)

«Rocky: (No, no, no, actually-)

«Jemky: (ROCKY! OF COURSE we caught them!)

(One moment! ONE MOMENT!), exclaimed one of the adult apes, raising his voice. (You did catch those two monkeys, right? Because we really want those two alive or dead!)

«Jemky: (Of course! We've got them-)

(ROCKY! I want you to answer us!), one of the apes interrupted.

«Rocky: (Well… well… Not really! You see, we don't even have them hypnotized; that mixture was already run out when we found them. But we had caught them, that is... we pretended to be their friends through these mechanized kids, but... they no longer want to be our friends, and we cannot go and catch them by force because these mechanical kids are fragile... and we wanted to ask you if... you could help us catch them or something... You have guns).

(Wait, wait, what are you saying?!), one of the apes said, starting to speak in a threatening tone. (WHAT DO YOU MEAN ABOUT US?! The mission is YOURS!)

«Rocky: (Yes, yes, yes, we know! But you see... those two monkeys are difficult to catch. In fact, we had captured the monkey but he escaped and even fell down a slope and we don't know if he is there or if he got lost... NO, NO, NO, DON'T BE ANGRY, PLEASE!)

(HOW DID YOU LOSE THAT MONKEY?!), the adult apes began to shout. (YOU TOLD US YOU ALREADY HAD THEM! We've needed those two monkeys for a long time! THEY'LL BE A JEWEL FOR US! WE WANT THEM ALIVE OR DEAD!)

«Melenky: (Yes, we did have them! But it's that... Oh, it's a long story! But in short: those two were dating, we tried to separate them, but they uncovered us and broke away from us).

(Well, as far as I know, we sent you to catch some kong kids to bring them here, not to go around with dating nonsense! AND NOW YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT YOU'VE LOST A COUPLE OF MONKEYS THAT WE HOPED SO MUCH TO FIND?!)

«Rocky: (Or I better think that you lend us your guns and then we can catch them ourselves! That monkey boy is too agile and the monkey girl is too strong).

(Oh, no, no, NO GUNS! You just had to spray the hypnotizing mixture on those monkeys and that's all!)

«Mandrew: (But we ran out of that a while ago!)

(So, if you say you've already become their friends, tell them to get on the ship too!)

«Rocky: (We are no longer friends with them! All because Jemky was the one who started wanting to make them fight!)

«Jemky: (HEY, WHY DO YOU NAME ME?!)

(URGH, USELESS KIDS!), the apes shouted at them, very furious. (YOU CAN DO NOTHING RIGHT!)

«Melenky: (HEY! BUT WE CATCH ALL THE OTHER CHILDREN ANYWAYS!)

(BUT WE NEED THOSE OTHER TWO BRAT MONKEYS TOO!)

«Mandrew: (SO, IF YOU WANT THEM SO MUCH, LEND US YOUR GUNS AND LET US GO AND CATCH THAT COUPLE!)

(Beware that tone of voice, huh?), said one of the apes, speaking through clenched teeth.

(Oh, you know what?! We'd better go find that pair of monkeys, and by the way we'll bring those other brats on the ship).

(It seems to me! These four useless and ill-mannered boys might even WRECK THE SHIP).

«Mandrew: (Oh, yeah? Well, it seems to me TOO! YOU SHOULD HAVE BETTER DO ALL THIS YOURSELVES FROM THE BEGINNING!)

«Jemky: (IT'S TRUE, YOU COULD WELL HAVE DONE THIS MISSION YOURSELVES AND EVEN IN LESS TIME, INSTEAD OF SENDING US!)

Instantly, four consecutive blows were heard that sounded like slaps that, apparently, the apes had given the quartet.

«Melenky: (But I didn't say anything!)

«Rocky: (Me neither!... Although now I do agree with Mandrew and Jem-)

(SILENCE NOW!), the apes replied. (Let's go right now in our boats to Hurricane Island, we'll put those children on the ship while we also look for those other two monkeys, and then we'll set sail! And you'll have to help us look for them!)

«Jemky: (Will we go too, right?), he asked them in a serious tone.

(NO! Stay here! You'll help us to look for them through those mechanical kids!)

«Mandrew: (So what's the joke!)

(STAY HERE, I SAID!)

»»»

«Rocky: (They're all ready!)

«Jemky: (Now let's wait for our dads to get there to go get that pair of monkeys… Oh, nothing fits those mandrills and orangutans!)

The video recording showed the site of the ship where the quartet, through the other quartet, already had all the kidnapped kong children on board on the deck of the ship, and all of them continued to obey them until the end, without opposing their orders.

(Where are we going on this ship?), some of the children asked the quartet.

Rocky (RICKY): (Uhh, we're going to start our trip; we'll visit some islands), he responded, smiling at them through 'Ricky', while taking some vines. (But first, everyone has to wear this, it's going to be a surprise).

«Rocky: (Now we have to tie each one of them).

The quartet proceeded to take the vines and, to each of the kong children, they began to tie them from head to toe... and they allowed themselves to be tied up calmly.

»»»

(Okay, these brats are ready, now let's get those other two!)

Minutes later, the mandrills and orangutans had arrived at the ship's site, who had also been in charge of blindfolding all the kong children and forming them into lines. Likewise, they boarded a small boat on the ship, in which they had been transported to reach Hurricane Island. The group of apes wore their long dark hoods and cloaks to cover themselves.

(Now… we have to give these kids the second dose of hypnotizing mixture), the lead orangutan said.

Then, the apes took out small jars with a yellow-orange liquid, which they opened as they headed towards the kidnapped kong children. Then, each of the children had the mixture sprayed near their noses, which caused a reaction in them... until it left them almost paralyzed shortly after.

(With this they'll be quiet for a long time), the lead orangutan said.

(And where do those two monkeys live?!), one of the mandrills asked the quartet.

Jemky (JENNY): (In a huge square treehouse that has a few rooms), he responded to them, communicating through 'Jenny'. (I'll show it to you if you want... although I doubt that pair are together right now. I don't know if Diddy is at the bottom of that ravine that we mentioned. And Dixie may be in the house, although I also doubt it because we recently went around there and there was no sign of either of them).

(Then we'll split two and two to look for those little brats), the apes replied. (We need two of you too to help us with each one).

Melenky (MELVYN): (I'll help you!)

(NO! Let Jemky and Mandrew go with us for being sassy and bratty!)

»»»

Jemky (JENNY): (Darn! I don't know where that monkey could be).

Through Jenny's subscreen, the place on the dark ravine was shown where two of the apes had gone to the bottom with torches in hand, but they found no trace of Diddy.

(And now?!), the apes exclaimed, climbing back onto dry land. (WHY DID YOU NOT HOLD THAT MONKEY WELL WHEN YOU CAUGHT HIM?!)

Jemky (JENNY): (Hey, this isn't the time to argue in the first place! And second, that monkey ran away and that's all! We'll have to look for him in the house then).

(Show us the house and then go back to the ship, okay?!), the apes ordered him.

Jemky (JENNY): (Yes, yes, whatever. But let's go), he answered them reluctantly.

»»»

On the other hand, there was 'Mandy' along with two other apes in search of Dixie. They were not that far from Mr. Pinky's house; therefore, the search was not difficult for them.

Mandrew (MANDY): (There's Dixie, that's her!), he whispered, pointing into the distance at Dixie.

(Excellent! She's the same little monkey girl! Finally, we'll have her again!), the apes whispered too with excitement. (Okay, Mandrew, go talk to her calmly, we'll follow you).

«Jemky: (Tell her Diddy doesn't love her anymore), he told him with a laugh. (Make something up there to make her disappointed in him once and for all).

Mandy's subscreen showed Dixie, who was apparently crying while sitting on a rock; the reason for her tears was obvious.

«Mandrew: (Oh, poor girl, she thinks her stupid boyfriend has gone with Jenny now), he commented mockingly.

«Jemky: (Or you mean... her boyfriend is gone forever because we can't find him anywhere).

Mandrew (MANDY): (Dixie?), she called, approaching her and pretending to be surprised.

(Uh… Hi, Mandy), Dixie told her with a forced smile.

Mandrew (MANDY): (Is something wrong with you?), she asked, going to sit next to her.

(No… it's nothing), Dixie responded, smiling weakly and finishing wiping away her tears.

Mandrew (MANDY): (Are you sure?... You look a little sad), she asked again feigning compassion.

(It's okay, really).

Mandrew (MANDY): (Is it because of… Diddy, right?)

(Ugh… Yes, yes, I guess you already know that).

Mandrew (MANDY): (Oh… Well, yes… Jenny told me… And from what she told me, it seems that Diddy now did give a chance to her... But first Diddy had broken up with you, right?)

(Yes, it was so… and I don't want to talk about it, please), Dixie responded angrily, turning her back.

Mandrew (MANDY): (I see… Uhh, and you… also had another boyfriend, right? That orangutan boy who liked you at school was your boyfriend and you hid it from Diddy?)

(Hey, that's not true! Of course not!), Dixie exclaimed angrily. (I didn't do anything wrong in case you've been told like that... Urgh, Diddy told it, right?!)

Mandrew (MANDY): (Well… he told Jenny, and Jenny told me. She told me that Diddy told her that you had sent a letter to that orangutan boy to come and see you and Diddy wouldn't know anythin-)

(Nooo!), Dixie interrupted, very furious and beginning to shed tears again. (That wasn't the case! I don't know how the heck that psychopathic orangutan appeared here!)

Mandrew (MANDY): (Well, that's what Jenny told me… In fact, she also told me that Diddy told her a lot of things about you).

(What?! What else did he say?!)

Mandrew (MANDY): (Well, he told her that you were a fake one, that now he hates you, that you were a total waste of time for him and he regrets everything he did for you... Jenny even told me that Diddy always thought she was cute, but that he never gave her a chance because of you)

«Jemky: (Oh, how fun this is!), he commented while laughing. (What a good made-up story, Mandrew!)

(Ugh… Diddy Kong), Dixie said through clenched teeth and letting her tears fall. (Why were we dating?)

Mandrew (MANDY): (But don't worry... That's how boys are… Don't feel bad, Dixie), she added before giving her a hug. (Remember that there are many more boys in the world. Maybe Diddy wasn't for you).

(Hmm, there's the chimpanzee!), one of the adult apes said, appearing on the scene and scaring Dixie.

«Mandrew: (Okay, here we go).

«Jemky: (Grab her hair first, Mandrew, so she won't attack you easily).

Dixie, looking scared, stood up and took 'Mandy' by the arm to protect her and flee with her, but then, she grabbed her hair tightly, preventing her from escaping.

(What the-?!), Dixie exclaimed towards Mandy.

(Come here, girl!), both adult apes exclaimed as they caught Dixie.

(NO!... LET ME GO! WHO ARE YOU-)

The apes took out some vines and began to wrap everything around her, including her hair, and 'Mandy' helped them do it too. Those apes, being larger and having better techniques and strength to carry out a kidnapping, Dixie couldn't do anything to free herself. Then, the apes carried her away while 'Mandy' went along with them.

«Mandrew: (We did it, we have Dixie!)

«Rocky: (Good! Did you see? I told you our dads could do it).

«Jemky: (Yes... and they're also going to give us the beating of our lives when they return because they can't find the monkey).

(Calm down, little one… You'll just go back to where you should have stayed), one of those apes told her as he carried Dixie, and she tried to scream in extreme desperation in vain.

»»»

(The ship is going to sail! Come quickly!), one of the apes exclaimed, speaking into an intercom to contact the other apes in the group.

(Darn it! They can't find the monkey!), the other ape grumbled.

The scene showed the ship already on the sea, with all the kong children on board, including Dixie, who was the only one showing resistance and trying to free herself from the vines with which she was tied. Two of the apes were already on board along with the quartet of mechanical kong children.

Rocky (RICKY): (So we'll go without that monkey?)

(What else can we do? We're not going to get focused on just one miserable monkey... Ugh, but anyway, I really wanted to catch him and crush him for ruining our capture of the brat chimpanzee and her siblings).

Jemky (JENNY): (We already have the chimpanzee girl anyways, don't complain anymore).

(What did you say?!), the ape exclaimed, giving her a threatening look and being about to slap 'Jenny', but stopped. (Oh, right, it's not you physically).

Melenky (MELVYN): (You can't hit us now; you're going to break a piece of these robots).

(Yeah… but at home you all will see), the ape added, speaking through clenched teeth and threatening them with his gaze. (Because we are not happy right now).

Mandrew (MANDY): (But it's not our fault; we don't know where that monkey is!)

(Keep answering us like that and we'll truly give you a beating as soon as we see you!)

Then, the other two adult apes that had been away returned on board.

(We didn't find that monkey!), exclaimed another of the apes, arriving with another one at the ship. (We even entered that house and there was nobody).

(Oh, darn it, forget that monkey then! We have to set sail!)

The apes began preparing the ship to embark on the journey along with the quartet and the herd of kidnapped kong children.

Diddy, currently, only thought that if it hadn't been for the fact that he wasn't at the house right at that moment, he would have also been captured on that ship by those apes, and he wouldn't have even had the chance to rescue Dixie or plan how they would get out of there safely.

"And how did you infiltrate that ship, Diddy?" Dixie asked him.

"I was just arriving when I saw those apes hanging around Mr. Pinky's house and then I heard them mention the ship and I immediately ran over there. The entire trip I was held to the low sides of the ship so they couldn't see me."

»»»

(Lower all these brats!)

The last scenes showed the islet where they were right now, where the ship was planted, and the apes, with the help of the quartet, were taking down the bags full of kong children and dragging them to the entrance of the building.

The apes were taking the children to the upper floors of the building, and taking them to the laboratory where Diddy had found them upon entering it.

The last thing the four subscreens showed was the quartet of mechanical children heading to the real quartet's room, and they were all seen with their electrode suits on and executing the same movements that the other quartet were replicating.

«Jemky: (Now yes, that's all), he said as they stood the quartet in the corner of the room.

«Rocky: (Let's take out the last rolls of magnetic tape to put them on the cassettes at once).

The video recording ended with the quartet in front, shutting down the other quartet... and with that it all ended. Both Diddy and Dixie were left with thousands of thoughts in their minds after seeing all that...


A/N: Finally, the video recordings are over! If you're wondering: and did Diddy and Dixie have so much time to see all that? Well, in one part it was mentioned that they saw those scenes in fast motion and that's all.

And yes, it was somewhat tedious to read all this, even for me it was tedious to write it... or well, copy it, paste it and organize it. My idea was to only make about five or ten pages about these recordings, but... they turned out to be about ninety :c and even in all the corrections I was making them more and more summary.

If you've made it this far, I thank you for your patience in reading! And hold on tight, because the next nine chapters will be very long too, but they'll continue the story. And don't worry... Diddy and Dixie will get out of here alive, and things won't go unpunished...
