\u201cDoctor, the music!\u201d yelped Amy as she and Lurra Rus covered their ears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI know! It\u2019s the same as what we heard in the TARDIS!\u201d The Doctor was trying to put up mental barriers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA fight, is it?\u201d chuckled Krazy Kalimba. \u201cI\u2019m all too happy to oblige!\u201d He amped up his music and caused greater strain to the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere\u2026is no substance\u2026to this melody!\u201d strained the Doctor. \u201cIt\u2019s an illusion! \u2026It does not exist!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cListen to this melody, human,\u201d replied Krazy Kalimba. \u201cIt is all you need to focus on. Let go of the stresses of free will.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2026am not\u2026human!\u201d snarled the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYour psychic abilities are impressive,\u201d mused Krazy Kalimba. \u201cI wonder which human taught you to\u2026wait, what is that citadel?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy\u2026my old home!\u201d replied the Doctor. She then sent more images of Gallifrey, the Citadel, the TARDIS, all the images related to her heritage right into Krazy Kalimba\u2019s mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo!\u201d insisted the wicked Tiki. \u201cThat\u2026that is not true! \u2026They\u2019re dead! \u2026GALLIFREY IS DEAD!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot these days!\u201d interjected Amy. \u201cLurra Rus and I helped the Doctor bring the Time Lords back!\u201d Krazy Kalimba then screamed before falling to the ground unconscious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Krazy Kalimba groaned as his eyes opened. He tried to rub his eyes\u2026only he felt something restraining his arms. He then realized he was bound to a chair! \u201cWH-WHAT IS THIS?!\u201d he demanded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m asking the questions here!\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cWhy did Tiki Tong come back?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLord Tiki Tong cannot be beaten by a mere moon being punched onto his base!\u201d retorted Krazy Kalimba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFrom what I\u2019ve heard and from what I\u2019ve studied,\u201d said the Doctor, \u201cthat should have been enough to reduce you to splinters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGrill me all you want!\u201d insisted Krazy Kalimba. \u201cMy wood is strong!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou know,\u201d mused Cranky Kong as he stepped out of the shadows, \u201cI COULD use some kindling.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHA! What are you gonna do?\u201d laughed the wicked Tiki. \u201cScold me until I\u2019m reduced to splinters?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo, but DK\u2019s gonna punch you to splinters,\u201d replied Cranky Kong. Donkey Kong cracked his knuckles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cStill immune to your ugly music,\u201d warned the gorilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cY-YOU SICK LITTLE MONKEY!\u201d yelped Krazy Kalimba, remembering his first meeting with Donkey Kong!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, unless you want a painful trip down memory lane,\u201d growled Donkey Kong, \u201canswer our questions! How did the Tiki Tak Tribe come back?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIT WASN\u2019T OUR CHOICE!\u201d cried Krazy Kalimba. \u201cWE WEREN\u2019T READY TO RETURN! WE WERE HOPING TO WAIT UNTIL YOU PASSED AWAY!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA premature awakening?\u201d asked the Doctor. \u201cWho woke you up?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI dunno! Only Tiki Tong got his name! He never told the rest of us!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDid you see who did it?\u201d asked Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYeah, some fat croc in a red cape and crown and with a crazy eye!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWait a minute, this guy?\u201d asked Donkey Kong as he pulled out an old Smash Tourney dossier of the person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYeah! That\u2019s the one!\u201d Donkey Kong growled at the confirmation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, King K. Rool\u2019s involved!\u201d he snarled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh brother,\u201d complained Amy. \u201cThat ham?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWho\u2019s King K. Rool?\u201d asked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy arch nemesis,\u201d answered Donkey Kong. \u201cHe\u2019s got a hatred for\u2026may-mels\u2026people like us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMammals,\u201d corrected the Doctor. \u201cAnd this is just the Silurians and Sea Devils all over again!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026The what and the what?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNever mind that!\u201d snapped Cranky Kong. He turned his attention to Krazy Kalimba. \u201cWhy did you try that hypnotizing trick again?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Croc promised that he\u2019d upgrade our hypnosis powers so you Kongs can fall under our spell!\u201d replied the imprisoned Tiki. \u201cI don\u2019t understand, though! Banjo Bottom got your smaller friend!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWHAT?!\u201d shouted Donkey Kong. He grabbed Krazy Kalimba and brought him up close to the gorilla\u2019s snarling face. \u201cYOU BETTER NOT BE TALKING ABOUT DIDDY KONG!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEasy!\u201d yelped Amy. \u201cWe still need him alive!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhere\u2019s Diddy Kong and this\u2026Banjo Bottom character?\u201d asked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDo answer quickly,\u201d instructed Cranky Kong. \u201cDiddy Kong\u2019s a good friend of my grandson here.\u201d Donkey Kong tightened his grip just a bit to prove Cranky\u2019s point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTH-THE MINES!\u201d yelped Krazy Kalimba. \u201cTHEY\u2019RE AT THE MINES IN THE CAVE!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019re coming with us!\u201d snarled Donkey Kong. \u201cIf we find out you\u2019re lying-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI GET THE POINT, OKAY!\u201d wailed Krazy Kalimba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, which way?\u201d asked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI have to admit,\u201d muttered the Doctor as she carried Cranky Kong, \u201cI never thought I\u2019d be carrying an elderly gorilla on my back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAh, quit your complaining, young lady!\u201d replied Cranky. \u201cYou need the exercise anyways! You don\u2019t hear Donkey Kong complaining!\u201d He pointed his cane at Donkey Kong as he carried Lurra Rus on his back while Amy had Krazy Kalimba roped to her back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLurra Rus is lighter than you, Sir,\u201d retorted the Doctor. \u201cAnd you, you\u2019re what, 80? That\u2019s pretty much a child on my home planet. I\u2019m at least 3,000 years your senior!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPull the other one!\u201d scoffed Cranky Kong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe\u2019s not lying, Cranky Kong,\u201d replied Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Doctor\u2019s people have a tendency to cheat death,\u201d explained Lurra Rus. \u201cAlthough, that\u2019s because they can rewrite their whole genetic code to become a new person.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWait, you serious?\u201d asked Cranky Kong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s true!\u201d snapped Krazy Kalimba. \u201cAll Time Lords like her are cheaters like that!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLike you don\u2019t fear death in some small measure!\u201d scoffed the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd that\u2019s another thing, Time Lords?\u201d asked Cranky Kong. \u201cWhat, are you guys time cops or something?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen the Web of Time is threatened, yes,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cBut we\u2019re mainly observers. So don\u2019t go asking us to undo any major tragedies in your world, we can\u2019t do that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFine by me,\u201d remarked Cranky Kong. \u201cThat just sounds like too much of a quick fix! And a messy one at that! Let me tell you, a quick fix always results in a mess down the line! All these kids these days-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh boy, here we go!\u201d complained Donkey Kong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTHAT\u2019S MY POINT, YOU YOUNG WHIPPERSNAPPER!\u201d shouted Cranky Kong. \u201cIF YOU KIDS WOULD GET YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR BUTTS-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHold up!\u201d called Amy. \u201cThere\u2019s a cave ahead!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAha! There\u2019s our stop!\u201d cheered Donkey Kong. He let Lurra Rus off his back as the Doctor and Amy set Cranky Kong and Krazy Kalimba on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKrazy Kalimba, if you please\u2026\u201d purred Amy as she summoned her hammer and held it over Krazy Kalimba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Um, Banjo Bottom!\u201d he called into the cave. \u201cI-I\u2019m here! I got the Kongs!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou tried to hypnotize them without my beat, did you?\u201d scoffed a voice from within the cave. Out stomped a fat humanoid crocodile with a huge, bloodshot left eye and a normal right eye. His tummy was golden and he wore a red cape and a crown. Accompanying him was a banjo tiki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKING K. ROOL!\u201d roared Donkey Kong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd Banjo Bottom, I presume,\u201d said the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWHERE\u2019S DIDDY KONG?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, he\u2019s right here,\u201d replied King K. Rool. \u201cDiddy Kong, come out!\u201d Donkey and Cranky Kong looked behind King K. Rool to see a spider monkey Kong knuckling his way out of a cave. He wore a red baseball hat and a red shirt with a gold star design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDIDDY KONG!\u201d called Donkey Kong happily. \u201cHey, little buddy!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWait,\u201d urged the Doctor. \u201cRemember what Krazy Kalimba here said.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026No!\u201d realized Donkey Kong. He looked closer at Diddy Kong\u2019s face and saw that he was in a trance!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI wasn\u2019t exactly lying!\u201d laughed Krazy Kalimba. \u201cAnd now we have two more Kongs! Lizard King, the beat!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s King K. Rool, you stupid pile of splinters!\u201d snarled King K. Rool. He still banged his tummy like it was a drum, setting a beat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd away we go!\u201d called Banjo Bottom. He started strumming out the hypnotic melody as Krazy Kalimba joined. Donkey and Cranky Kong\u2019s faces went blank!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh no!\u201d gulped the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey\u2019re not-!\u201d begged Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI rather think they ARE!\u201d warned the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat are your orders, Masters?\u201d asked Donkey Kong in a monotone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKrazy Kalimba, Banjo Bottom, why aren\u2019t THEY hypnotized?\u201d demanded King K. Rool as he pointed at the Doctor and her companions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Time Lord is able to resist the psychic part of our melody,\u201d replied Krazy Kalimba. \u201cShe must have passed on that resistance to her companions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTime Lord?!\u201d yelped Banjo Bottom. \u201cYou can\u2019t be serious!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m afraid so,\u201d answered Krazy Kalimba. \u201cI saw images of Gallifrey! Of her previous incarnations! She calls herself the Doctor!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTHE Doctor?! The Scourge of Skaro?!\u201d Banjo Bottom glared at the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, he\u2019s not wrong,\u201d confirmed the Doctor in a roundabout way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen I know exactly what the Kongs need to do!\u201d hissed Banjo Bottom. He turned to the hypnotized Kongs. \u201cDonkey, Diddy, and Cranky Kong, turn the Doctor and her companions into a red paste! DESTROY THEM!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs you command, Master Banjo Bottom!\u201d replied the Kongs in monotonous unison. They bared their teeth at the Doctor and her friends, Donkey Kong pounded his chest and howled a gorilla\u2019s challenge howl, Cranky Kong twirled his cane as if it were a bo staff, and Diddy Kong pulled out two wooden guns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh dear!\u201d gulped the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
