*Donkey Kong Island ~ Eastern Shores*

Upon reaching the eastern shores of the island, the group managed to easily find K. Lumsy pulling his had out of the sand.
“Goodness gracious!” Peach gasped as she looked at K. Lumsy’s eyes roll for a bit in a daze.

“K. Lumsy! Are you alright?!” DK hollered as he ran to the shrunken K. Lumsy, with Candy joining in as well. “Are you hurt, sweet thing?”

*Insert Theme: “K. Lumsy’s Cell” (Donkey Kong 64)*

“I-I'm fine, but I'm shrunk and having a headache!” K. Lumsy looked downcast as he gave his answer, which made Haruka and Tiptup flinch a bit. “Ouch!”

“Bogus, dudes and dudettes! The Green Giant Dude's been turned into a Green Big Dude! I'm gonna' miss catching the big waves now!” Funky shrugged as he began to regret K. Lumsy being shrunken in size as he felt that the clumsy Kremling made his love for surfing even better.

“I'm sorry, everyone... I guess I won't be of any help here... or of any help anymore...” K. Lumsy became very crestfallen as he lamented his now-uselessness.

“M-Muh...” Kiddy slightly sputtered out a few words, shocked at the sight, but Dixie went to reassure K. Lumsy right away. “Hey, Lumsy, don't look so down.” Tiny went to the sad Kremling and frowned as she looked at his saddened eyes. “You're looking as gloomy as the time you were locked up.”

Diddy buries his face under his cap, knowing that their plan had just pretty much blown up in their faces as he gave out a disappointed groan. Timber pretty much did the same as the chimp. However, instead of a groan, the young tiger pretty much voiced his disappointment. “That does it for the attack plan! Now what?!”

*End Theme, Insert Theme: “K. Rool’s Theme” (Donkey Kong 64)*

“Really? Were you seriously planning on using my worthless little brother against me again?” The voice of K. Rool echoed for a bit, getting DK’s attention as he angrily turned his head to where he believed to be the source. “K. Rool!!!”

“You did this?!” Reiji too was mad at K. Rool as he was pretty much gritting his teeth into calcium dust and getting this close to wanting to skewer the villainous croc himself. Iori, on the other hand, was pretty much blowing out steam from her head as she demanded one thing. “When did your thingy get here?!”

“Just now. When I look back at my Villain’s Tutorial Guide, ‘Whenever one of your destructive evil plans from the past fail, always learn from your past mistakes to prevent them from ruining your next one!’" K. Rool’s voices was being communicated through his Heliteligator as he clearly recalled how his Blast-o-Matic plan felt apart and was at least smart enough to make sure some actions are necessary to not have a repeat of that failure... by using a manual?

“Ehhhh?!” Hibiki’s ponytail stood on end in response as to how K. Rool got the jump on them, but then...

“You use a guide manual, nano?” Miki did not seem at all convinced as she put her finger on her chin. Yayoi seemed to be of the same mind as she spoke before pouting unhappily at the croc. “I thought nobody used a manual. And that was mean, meanie!”

“Oh yes, I am a green meanie, aren't I?! Ah hahaha!” K. Rool seemed to take what Yayoi said as a ind of compliment as he just gave his evil crocodile grin. (Green Meanies vs. Blue Meanies, who will win? ...Uh, on second thought, screw that.)

“After all, I WAS the one who had that monkey-loving traitor turned into a gargantuous secret weapon to destroy you knuckle-dragging throwrugs in the first place. But thanks to the K. Rool Kaiser's Anti-Klumsy Beam, I ridded the chemicals in his DNA and fixed my problem of how to deal with him again. And you all still have thirty minutes left until your doom begins!” K. Rool before grinning again, enough to make Cranky a little furious. “CURSE YOU KING K. ROOL, YOU CRUEL EYE-BUGGED CHEATING HALF-OBESED MANIAC!”

“AHHH HA HAHAHAHA! GAAH HAHAHAHA--!” K. Rool was pretty much laughing his had off, being overconfident that his plan might succeed, but then..

*End Theme*

“AUGHHHH!!!” The voice of K. Lumsy echoed out as he threw a large rock at the Heliteligator, which took a direct hit! And as if to add insult to injury for K. Rool, a piece of the device flew out of sight and did some damage to the K. Rool Kaiser's Antenna!

*CLANKK!!!!*

*K. Rool Kaiser ~ Bridge*

Due to the damages, all that can be seen on the screen was nothing but static fuzz, which was more than enough to send K. Rool into a tantrum of his own. “You idiotic tantrum-throwing moron, I have to pay to have those Heliteligators built!”

“Sire, connection with the television antenna is lost.” A Kremling operator hollered out to his superior, which made him drop his scaly jaw even further before asking for to get fixed up. “Now how did that happen? It's times like these I'm glad I no longer use cable. Someone get that fixed right away!”

“Uh, YES YOUR MAJESTY"! Commandant Kopter, find that mechanic and repairman.” Klump gave the order nervously to Kopter, who took it immediately. “Right away, General Klump.”

*BACK TO THE GROUP...*

“Whoa...” Hibiki could not believe what she saw, as did her little hamster Hamuzou, who stood wide-eyed at the sight on top of its master’s head.

“You never play fair at all, you big fat JERK!” K. Lumsy cried out loud as he was just about to cry. Benjamin, feeling the Kremling’s pain, went to him in an understanding gaze. "Family infighting is NOT a pleasing thing."

“Sorry... I couldn't stand it!” K. Lumsy sniffed as he was being comforted by the enigmatic interdimensional being. As the Kremling began to slowly feel better, Reiji watched with an understanding gaze of his own as he thought of the fighter Jin Kazama and his family, the Mishimas... especially the man’s grandfather Heihachi. “We both happen to know how far THAT had gone for someone.” (Heihachi: “Heh hehehehe...”)

“Well, we know where K. Rool is...” Xiaomu spoke as she is more than ready for battle, but is equally just as curious as he superior as he began to wonder how to get in now. “Yes, but the real question is, ‘How do we get up there?’"

"Hmph!!!” All of a sudden, Benjamin gave a calm yet calm wink of confidence that shows no sign of cockiness, which quickly grabs the attention of Daisy. “Sounds like someone has confidence!”

“Smells like you cooked up something surprising.” Yoshi was quick to agree with the Sarasa Kingdom princess as he is getting anxious to know what Benjamin has cooked up in his head. And, no, it is NOT food, I tell you.

"Remember when Peach was asking me what I thinking about earlier?" Benjamin spoke immediately, which got the Mushroom Kingdom princess’ attention as she clearly recalled that moment in her mind. “I-I remember that well...”

...Unfortunately, nobody was expecting to hear what Benjamin said as a response to Peach’s recollection. "I wasn't thinking at all."

*THUD!* *DOINNNG!*

Everyone pretty much fell to the floor as a response. Mario and Luigi fell like dolls nose-first into the floor without a word. The two princesses staggered and fell to their knees, while Wario and Waluigi pretty much fell to their sides with silly expressions on their faces. The Idol group members all fell down in random movements that are too much to describe. And as for the Shinra duo, Reiji fell on his bottom while gritting his teeth, while Xiaomu fell on her front with her tongue sticking out.

“Huh?!” Producer-san’s jaw fell onto the floor and dropped down like an opened rug as he slumped forward in response.

"I was actually communicating via interdimensional telepathy.” Benjamin decided to make things clearer as he extends his hands to the sea and they start to glow with mana and, within mere moments, a pair of super massive circles with a octagram inside each appeared with an inner smaller octogram containing an infinity symbol appearing within the larger octogram. Afterwards, the upper circle rises to create a massive column of glowing aqua green and aqua blue light.

“Woooow...” The members of Team Mario could help but gaze at the bright sight, as well as the Idols, who all seem to be relieved of all stress. “Ahhhhh...”

“It's so big...! Sugoi na...” Kotori’s eyes were pretty much sparkling like gems as she beheld the sight. K. Lumsy on the other hand, had his jaw dropped down like an open cash register as he stared as well. “Wha...? Huh?”

“TIKIIII MAN-E-FACESSSS...” The vessel containing the will of Enkah Dhenkah Dhu spoke with a neutral face, which got the Tiki’s attention as he began to show a face full of puzzlement. “Yes, Master?”

“YOU CAN FEELLL THIS POWERRR, CAAAN YOUUU NOT?” The deity spoke again through his small vessel as he spoke to the Tiki, who looked confused on the spot. “I don't understand, my Lord... where are you getting at?”

“AAASSS A GOD, I HAVE SEENNN SOOO MUCH POWERRRR FROM DEITIESSS LIKE MYSELF... BENJAMIN ONCCCE CLAIMED THAT THERE AAARRE ENNNNTITIESSS THAT SURPASSSS DEEEITIESSSS LIKE MEEEE...” Enkah spoke again in his neutral gaze before shifting his face to a happier one and spoke again. “AAANNNDDD AAARRE CAPABLE TO INSPIRE MORTALS SSSUUUCH AAASSS THE YOUNNNGGG...”

“Aaaahhhh...!” Kiddy smiled happily as his eyes glimmered at the sight. Chunky, however, dropped his jaw as well as he began to blubber. “Look, something's coming out of the light...! S-S-S-SOMETHING HUGE!”

“Just how big is this thing?! Cranky yelled out loud as he felt a little blinded by the sight of something beginning to appear, with Candy joining in as she gasped at the sight. “And what is this?”

True to Chunky's observations, something massive was moving out of the light as if coming out of a portal. When the transfer process was finished, it revealed to be a huge, giant, massive flying ship that almost surpasses the ill-fated cruise liner known as the Titanic in size and length!

*Insert Theme: “Rising Blue Lightning” (Thunder Force V)*

The cyan ship was decked with a mix of magic and technology from medieval to modern or futuristic. The exterior was coated from top to bottom in a diamond-like material that seems like very high quality armor. The bow was decorated with six large golden-like colored angel wings folded back and there were six similar wings by the engines folded open with thrust boosters exposed. Each of the left wings were decorated with aqua green gemstones embedded in them and the right sided ones had aqua blue. There were nine powerful engines rimmed with eight flower petal shaped fins bearing a single diamond on each fin, crystal spires jutted out of the engines with same pattern colors; Spring Green to Aqua Cyan like the diamonds on the fins. In addition the fins were even blasting with the same color of the fire streaming out, yet the central engine is bursting with a longer otherworldly golden-like colored blaze. The deck was armed with different sorts of turrets; Ballistae armed with deadly arrow designed bolts, turrets that fling large star-bladed projectiles meant to shred defenses called Starlaunchers, Cannons packing hard-hitting cannonballs with a walloping blow that can shatter even high grade steel... and there were three other types of turrets that were too difficult for Mario's friends and the Idols to even comprehend! One type had a blue crown jewel shaped crystal in the center surrounded by eight golden rimmed cylinder holes made to shoot, the other mysterious turret looked the same but had a green crystal instead of blue, and the last one had smaller sizes of both jewels in place of the gunholes from the previous two models, with two slightly larger crown jewel crystals in aqua green and aqua blue between them! And, for the final touch, there was the main source of function of this large ship, the Command Bridge, which clearly looks like a giant version of the almighty Animadeus sheathed into a super-huge Aegispectro!

“Sweet mama of ravioli... Are ya seein' dis?!” Mario gasped at the sight as his hat flew off his head and spun for a few moments before landing back in place as he felt that this enormous behemoth of a battleship completely trumps whatever airships Bowser used in the past.

“L... Look at the size of that thing...!” Producer-san felt that his eyes might bulge out of his simple frames. Luigi felt like he was about to pass out at any given moment as he stares at the ship. “It's-a... da largest flying ship I evah laid my eyes on...”

“Oh. My. Freaking. God.” This was all that Ritsuko could say as she had a sudden urge to pinch herself in the cheek to see if she was just having a REALLY crazy dream. Needless to say, she did so and flinched from the sting of that pinch.

Wario and Waluigi could help but stare at the ship as well, but for a different reason as the big tub of garlic could help but realize that the costs for making a ship of this caliber would be far more than what he could possibly get as a treasure hunter or his extra occupation as a microgame designer as he quickly noted “Musta cost quadrillions of trillions in cash to make something like this...!”

“I'll never have enough money to buy OR build that...” Waluigi frowned as, even though he is the owner of Waluigi Industries, there is just no possible way to recreate such a masterpiece of a ship. Takane took a quiet look at the ship and found only one word to describe it as she barely held her ramen. “Priceless...”

“That weirdo...! How can he have such a...! Such a...!” Iori was starting to feel less significant and inferior as she bit her thumb in a fit of jealousy, but wisely kept her trap shut before she could end up offending Benjamin.

“Whoa, dude... that'd take me a million years to build... I might go blind if I took these shades off.” Funky gasped as well at the masterful craftsmanship of the ship that makes him feel all sweaty inside as Candy then made her comment, having a nice jab to a certain blusterous ape. “Even Bluster would tell this thing is NOT FOR SALE...”

“It's... It's... BEYOND DIVINE.” Hibiki muttered out loud, with Hamuzou so petrified at the sight that he fell off its master’s head and tumbled backwards a bit. Beneleon looked at the Idol from Okinawa and, knowing the deity himself, wholeheartedly agreed with her with a chuckle. “Absolutely very well accurate, Hibiki.”

"Ladies and Gentlemen? Shall we board?" Benjamin, satisfied to show the entire group his majestic ship, simply gave the go-ahead to board his vessel. The members of the entire group, along with the Kongs, began to board the vessel, but...

“Wow, with what's on my mind, I don't think I've got time to board this new-fangled vessel from another dimension...” Cranky began to have a feeling in his mind that began to worry him. Unable to shake this uneasiness in his mind that somethings needs to be taken care of, the old Kong turned to the two teams and spoke. “You young'uns go on ahead...”

“Eh? Cranky?” Mario turned to the old ape and wondered why he was staying behind. Producer-san was beginning to wonder too as he asked the elder Kong. “What are... Wh-Where are you going, Cranky-san?”

“There's a little bit of business I want to take care of... and I'm not going let an old monkey like myself slow you when there's something for you that needs to be handled.” As the old ape began to move, Yayoi ran to him with a worried look in her eyes. “Cranky-san, you won't be slowing us down... and we can't leave you behind—"

“Just worry about K. Rool blowing our home up instead of worrying about me!” Cranky reassured the twintailed Idol that there is no need to worry about him, kindly taking her worrying over his sake as a kind gesture. Still, the girl did not seem convinced as she tried to talk back with tears about ready to fall from her eyes. “Demou--!”

Swanky then stepped forward to be the voice of reason as he puts his hand on the girl’s shoulder and spoke. “It's alright, little lady, he knows what he's doing.”

“Uuuuuu...” Yayoi sadly frowned, a little upset that she can’t persuade Cranky as the matter cannot be pushed further. The old ape smiled, happy to see that she had seen sense as he looked at Benjamin who understood the reasons why the old ape wanted to check in the first place. "Well, then... If that's what you think is best, I'm not forcing you onboard. Be careful, Cranky..."

“Ditto.” DK completely agreed with the being’s wisdom in the matter in letting as he knew the elder Kong well. Cranky turned to the group one last time and bid adieu as he used his cane like a pogostick and hopped away into the jungle. “See ya'll around...” And away he pogo-hops!

“How does that simian DO that...?” Solbert dropped his jaw a slight bit as he saw Cranky pogo-hop away, with Ritsuko agreeing as she shrugged her shoulders. “Beats the *coin* out of my brains...”

“Didn't he say before he learned that from... a duck?” Yumeko began to recall something about how Cranky was able to use his cane as she scratched her head. (Scrooge: “Ah-CHOO! Curse me kilts! Someone must be talkin’ about me behind mah back!”)

“Whoa! Guys, look!” Magikoopa hollered as he pointed his apprentice’s wand, which obviously is less powerful than Kamek’s or Kammy’s, what just caught his attention, which intrigued Boo as well. “What is that?”

A crystal orb contained in some platinum frame flies from the ship and Benjamin points at it. As if it was under the being’s command, a beam of light the size of his finger shoots from his fingertip and comes in contact with the orb, in reaction, the orb shines a large light around the entire group and absorbs everyone into it and flies back to the ship.

Upon reaching the eastern shores of the island, the group managed to easily find K. Lumsy pulling his had out of the sand.
“Goodness gracious!” Peach gasped as she looked at K. Lumsy’s eyes roll for a bit in a daze.

“K. Lumsy! Are you alright?!” DK hollered as he ran to the shrunken K. Lumsy, with Candy joining in as well. “Are you hurt, sweet thing?”

*Insert Theme: “K. Lumsy’s Cell” (Donkey Kong 64)*

“I-I'm fine, but I'm shrunk and having a headache!” K. Lumsy looked downcast as he gave his answer, which made Haruka and Tiptup flinch a bit. “Ouch!”

“Bogus, dudes and dudettes! The Green Giant Dude's been turned into a Green Big Dude! I'm gonna' miss catching the big waves now!” Funky shrugged as he began to regret K. Lumsy being shrunken in size as he felt that the clumsy Kremling made his love for surfing even better.

“I'm sorry, everyone... I guess I won't be of any help here... or of any help anymore...” K. Lumsy became very crestfallen as he lamented his now-uselessness.

“M-Muh...” Kiddy slightly sputtered out a few words, shocked at the sight, but Dixie went to reassure K. Lumsy right away. “Hey, Lumsy, don't look so down.” Tiny went to the sad Kremling and frowned as she looked at his saddened eyes. “You're looking as gloomy as the time you were locked up.”

Diddy buries his face under his cap, knowing that their plan had just pretty much blown up in their faces as he gave out a disappointed groan. Timber pretty much did the same as the chimp. However, instead of a groan, the young tiger pretty much voiced his disappointment. “That does it for the attack plan! Now what?!”

*End Theme, Insert Theme: “K. Rool’s Theme” (Donkey Kong 64)*

“Really? Were you seriously planning on using my worthless little brother against me again?” The voice of K. Rool echoed for a bit, getting DK’s attention as he angrily turned his head to where he believed to be the source. “K. Rool!!!”

“You did this?!” Reiji too was mad at K. Rool as he was pretty much gritting his teeth into calcium dust and getting this close to wanting to skewer the villainous croc himself. Iori, on the other hand, was pretty much blowing out steam from her head as she demanded one thing. “When did your thingy get here?!”

“Just now. When I look back at my Villain’s Tutorial Guide, ‘Whenever one of your destructive evil plans from the past fail, always learn from your past mistakes to prevent them from ruining your next one!’" K. Rool’s voices was being communicated through his Heliteligator as he clearly recalled how his Blast-o-Matic plan felt apart and was at least smart enough to make sure some actions are necessary to not have a repeat of that failure... by using a manual?

“Ehhhh?!” Hibiki’s ponytail stood on end in response as to how K. Rool got the jump on them, but then...

“You use a guide manual, nano?” Miki did not seem at all convinced as she put her finger on her chin. Yayoi seemed to be of the same mind as she spoke before pouting unhappily at the croc. “I thought nobody used a manual. And that was mean, meanie!”

“Oh yes, I am a green meanie, aren't I?! Ah hahaha!” K. Rool seemed to take what Yayoi said as a ind of compliment as he just gave his evil crocodile grin. (Green Meanies vs. Blue Meanies, who will win? ...Uh, on second thought, screw that.)

“After all, I WAS the one who had that monkey-loving traitor turned into a gargantuous secret weapon to destroy you knuckle-dragging throwrugs in the first place. But thanks to the K. Rool Kaiser's Anti-Klumsy Beam, I ridded the chemicals in his DNA and fixed my problem of how to deal with him again. And you all still have thirty minutes left until your doom begins!” K. Rool before grinning again, enough to make Cranky a little furious. “CURSE YOU KING K. ROOL, YOU CRUEL EYE-BUGGED CHEATING HALF-OBESED MANIAC!”

“AHHH HA HAHAHAHA! GAAH HAHAHAHA--!” K. Rool was pretty much laughing his had off, being overconfident that his plan might succeed, but then..

*End Theme*

“AUGHHHH!!!” The voice of K. Lumsy echoed out as he threw a large rock at the Heliteligator, which took a direct hit! And as if to add insult to injury for K. Rool, a piece of the device flew out of sight and did some damage to the K. Rool Kaiser's Antenna!

*CLANKK!!!!*

*K. Rool Kaiser ~ Bridge*

Due to the damages, all that can be seen on the screen was nothing but static fuzz, which was more than enough to send K. Rool into a tantrum of his own. “You idiotic tantrum-throwing moron, I have to pay to have those Heliteligators built!”

“Sire, connection with the television antenna is lost.” A Kremling operator hollered out to his superior, which made him drop his scaly jaw even further before asking for to get fixed up. “Now how did that happen? It's times like these I'm glad I no longer use cable. Someone get that fixed right away!”

“Uh, YES YOUR MAJESTY"! Commandant Kopter, find that mechanic and repairman.” Klump gave the order nervously to Kopter, who took it immediately. “Right away, General Klump.”

*BACK TO THE GROUP...*

“Whoa...” Hibiki could not believe what she saw, as did her little hamster Hamuzou, who stood wide-eyed at the sight on top of its master’s head.

“You never play fair at all, you big fat JERK!” K. Lumsy cried out loud as he was just about to cry. Benjamin, feeling the Kremling’s pain, went to him in an understanding gaze. "Family infighting is NOT a pleasing thing."

“Sorry... I couldn't stand it!” K. Lumsy sniffed as he was being comforted by the enigmatic interdimensional being. As the Kremling began to slowly feel better, Reiji watched with an understanding gaze of his own as he thought of the fighter Jin Kazama and his family, the Mishimas... especially the man’s grandfather Heihachi. “We both happen to know how far THAT had gone for someone.” (Heihachi: “Heh hehehehe...”)

“Well, we know where K. Rool is...” Xiaomu spoke as she is more than ready for battle, but is equally just as curious as he superior as he began to wonder how to get in now. “Yes, but the real question is, ‘How do we get up there?’"

"Hmph!!!” All of a sudden, Benjamin gave a calm yet calm wink of confidence that shows no sign of cockiness, which quickly grabs the attention of Daisy. “Sounds like someone has confidence!”

“Smells like you cooked up something surprising.” Yoshi was quick to agree with the Sarasa Kingdom princess as he is getting anxious to know what Benjamin has cooked up in his head. And, no, it is NOT food, I tell you.

“TIKIIII MAN-E-FACESSSS...” The vessel containing the will of Enkah Dhenkah Dhu spoke with a neutral face, which got the Tiki’s attention as he began to show a face full of puzzlement. “Yes, Master?”

“Aaaahhhh...!” Kiddy smiled happily as his eyes glimmered at the sight. Chunky, however, dropped his jaw as well as he began to blubber. “Look, something's coming out of the light...! S-S-S-SOMETHING HUGE!”

“Just how big is this thing?! Cranky yelled out loud as he felt a little blinded by the sight of something beginning to appear, with Candy joining in as she gasped at the sight. “And what is this?”

True to Chunky's observations, something massive was moving out of the light as if coming out of a portal. When the transfer process was finished, it revealed to be a huge, giant, massive flying ship that almost surpasses the ill-fated cruise liner known as the Titanic in size and length!

And, for the final touch, there was the main source of function of this large ship, the Command Bridge, which clearly looks like a giant version of the almighty Animadeus sheathed into a super-huge Aegispectro!

“Sweet mama of ravioli... Are ya seein' dis?!” Mario gasped at the sight as his hat flew off his head and spun for a few moments before landing back in place as he felt that this enormous behemoth of a battleship completely trumps whatever airships Bowser used in the past.

“L... Look at the size of that thing...!” Producer-san felt that his eyes might bulge out of his simple frames. Luigi felt like he was about to pass out at any given moment as he stares at the ship. “It's-a... da largest flying ship I evah laid my eyes on...”

“Oh. My. Freaking. God.” This was all that Ritsuko could say as she had a sudden urge to pinch herself in the cheek to see if she was just having a REALLY crazy dream. Needless to say, she did so and flinched from the sting of that pinch.

“That weirdo...! How can he have such a...! Such a...!” Iori was starting to feel less significant and inferior as she bit her thumb in a fit of jealousy, but wisely kept her trap shut before she could end up offending Benjamin.

“Whoa, dude... that'd take me a million years to build... I might go blind if I took these shades off.” Funky gasped as well at the masterful craftsmanship of the ship that makes him feel all sweaty inside as Candy then made her comment, having a nice jab to a certain blusterous ape. “Even Bluster would tell this thing is NOT FOR SALE...”

“It's... It's... BEYOND DIVINE.” Hibiki muttered out loud, with Hamuzou so petrified at the sight that he fell off its master’s head and tumbled backwards a bit. Beneleon looked at the Idol from Okinawa and, knowing the deity himself, wholeheartedly agreed with her with a chuckle. “Absolutely very well accurate, Hibiki.”

“There's a little bit of business I want to take care of... and I'm not going let an old monkey like myself slow you when there's something for you that needs to be handled.” As the old ape began to move, Yayoi ran to him with a worried look in her eyes. “Cranky-san, you won't be slowing us down... and we can't leave you behind—"

“Just worry about K. Rool blowing our home up instead of worrying about me!” Cranky reassured the twintailed Idol that there is no need to worry about him, kindly taking her worrying over his sake as a kind gesture. Still, the girl did not seem convinced as she tried to talk back with tears about ready to fall from her eyes. “Demou--!”

Swanky then stepped forward to be the voice of reason as he puts his hand on the girl’s shoulder and spoke. “It's alright, little lady, he knows what he's doing.”

“Uuuuuu...” Yayoi sadly frowned, a little upset that she can’t persuade Cranky as the matter cannot be pushed further. The old ape smiled, happy to see that she had seen sense as he looked at Benjamin who understood the reasons why the old ape wanted to check in the first place. "Well, then... If that's what you think is best, I'm not forcing you onboard. Be careful, Cranky..."

“Ditto.” DK completely agreed with the being’s wisdom in the matter in letting as he knew the elder Kong well. Cranky turned to the group one last time and bid adieu as he used his cane like a pogostick and hopped away into the jungle. “See ya'll around...” And away he pogo-hops!

“How does that simian DO that...?” Solbert dropped his jaw a slight bit as he saw Cranky pogo-hop away, with Ritsuko agreeing as she shrugged her shoulders. “Beats the *coin* out of my brains...”

“Didn't he say before he learned that from... a duck?” Yumeko began to recall something about how Cranky was able to use his cane as she scratched her head. (Scrooge: “Ah-CHOO! Curse me kilts! Someone must be talkin’ about me behind mah back!”)

“Whoa! Guys, look!” Magikoopa hollered as he pointed his apprentice’s wand, which obviously is less powerful than Kamek’s or Kammy’s, what just caught his attention, which intrigued Boo as well. “What is that?”

A crystal orb contained in some platinum frame flies from the ship and Benjamin points at it. As if it was under the being’s command, a beam of light the size of his finger shoots from his fingertip and comes in contact with the orb, in reaction, the orb shines a large light around the entire group and absorbs everyone into it and flies back to the ship.
