Road of Smash - (MysteriousD & StarMech)

"And you are utterly amazing too," Diego responded to her before being caught off-guard by her sudden and quick kiss. Diego blushed a bit before he gave a short shy kiss on her cheek back. Then after they caught their breath, they began heading out to find who and what they were looking for. Fortunately, most of the place had become alot more quiet. This was advantageous for them. They would quickly find themselves in a large room with a bunch of containers.

"Oh wow, there is a bunch of cash here," Diego said as he would be spending time trying to look at these containers. "We need to return all this money back to the people who lost them," Diego said as he was wondering what else he could do for it. However, Diego would turn to see that it was there.

The other Grand Star.

"Okay, now we need to get that out of here. I need to get Rosalina here," Diego said before he was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard Daisy . "Well, we can maybe find something else here," Diego began saying before hearing a voice.

He got his gun ready only to see it was just Mayor Pauline.

"Miss Pauline," Diego said, now relieved.

"We were wondering if you heard anything about Princess Peach being here," Diego said as he worked to try ans get the Grand Star out of its area though he also knew they would need to fight a bunch of Kremlings.
 
"Princess Peach?...No, I don't think she is here..."

"What." Daisy asked flat

"I've been captured here for a month and sadly I have seen no trace of her. If they had someone like Princess Peach, like they did with me, they'd waste no time in parading her around.." Pauline sighed, "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid she had never been here..."

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat!?!?"

The brunette stood silent for a moment, quiet as the realization hit her hard. "You mean I've been stuck here serving these dumb crocs for nothing!?"

Furious, the princess started to kick around nearby boxes. "Oooh, that lousy no good bat play me for a chump!! Agh! she better not meet me again or so help me!!"

The red dress-clad woman quickly tried to calm her. "Now now. There's no point in getting mad over this. Please." She begged. Daisy eventually cooled down with a deep breath.

"...Yeah, you're right. It stings, but maybe I rushed to the info I got without double-checking." Daisy admitted. Glancing back at Diego she smirked and said. "Oh well, at least I got a good time out of it..."

The mood seemed to cool down until something else caught our heroes' attention. One of the iron barrels that Daisy had kicked suddenly started to wiggle. Something was inside, alive and moving, kicking and shaking the container in some kind of desperation. Daisy was confused but Pauline suddenly barged in with a gasp.

"there he is! Quick, please, help me open this!!" She begged diego and Daisy, who quickly aided him in taking off the lid of the barrel only for a figure to immediately leap out as freedom reared its head.

Diego was also quick to recognize who this was. The young looking animal was hard to really miss. Brown fur, wiggling long tail, red cap and shirt; there was no doubt that this was the one and only Diddy Kong!!

"Ook ook ook!!" The young chimp exclaimed, jumping on the spot as it stretched its limps. Pauline gave a sigh of relief.
 
“Then who could this so-called main attraction be?” Diego wondered out loud at the possibilities of what could the Kremlings be up to before he returned back to the Grand Star. He was examining the mechanisms and power. He knew that once they took it, they would need to scram out of the area, but Diego also knew that even with him, Rosalina and even Daisy, it would be difficult for them to try and fight them all off.

They would need to be smart about this.

Diego was snapped out of his musings when he heard Pauline ask for help. One of the barrels was moving and Diego went over to open it. After a moment, the lid popped and out rocketed a familiar looking monkey.

“Diddy Kong!” Diego said with a smile, grateful on having another potential ally.

He then thought of something.

“Is Donkey Kong here?” Diego asked, wondering where the larger Kong was.
 
"I saw the poor thing being taken inside by those awful Kremling guards. I was hoping to set him free when the coast was clear, but it never did until now." Pauline explained.

Diddy did not seem happy. Or rather he was happy, but also worried. The chimp bounced all over, pointing towards the door in a hurry. Perhaps trying to tell them something.

"Well, they are always seen together. Could it be that they also holding DK prisoner somewhere?" Daisy replied to Diego's question.

"That's what I'm worried too. We must find him." Pauline added, "I mean, sure, me and him had had our issues, but he is not a bad guy. But where to start looking?"

That's when, once again, the group was interrupted by loud noises. This time, however, their eyes followed the noise to a long duct vent that stretched alongside the room. The vents rattled and shook, until the grater that blocked the very end popped right off and something, or rather someone, was shoot out like a bullet and into the nearby wall.

"Owowowow...." Polari exclaimed. The little Lumas seeing stars of his own after such a ride.

The two girls looked confused at all this, but Polari paid no mind after recovering and quickly floated towards Diego, waving his little arms frantically. "We gotta head back to the main hall! I overheard some of those Kremlings from inside the vent. Something huge is happening!!"

Diddy simply rushed ahead and it cried in anger, leaving the others behind who quickly followed....

--------------------------------------------

Back at the main hall of the Casino, the many visitors appeared confused as the Kremlings not-so-gently lead them to disperse away from the dining area, right as another walked in on stage. Nobody really knew what was going on as the light dimmed slightly. Looking around frantically while most of the Kremling kept guard of them, snickering and cheering in anticipation over something.

Diego & Co. arrived just in time to see thing unfold. Rosalina, seeing Diego, quickly rushed to his side. "Oh i'm glad you're okay."

"Huh? Rosalina?" Daisy exclaimed

"Daisy? Wait, w-why are you doing here...?"

"Long story...." The brunette stated, "But we can talk later. What's going on?"

"Well, they--" the cosmic princess was soon interrupted by the Kritter on-stage as it started to speak...

"Attention, ladies and gentlemen! I is the moment ya' all been waitin' for! Our Main Spectacle of the night! I know ya' all been waitin' quite eagerly for it; I know I have..." Exclaimed the Kritter, "But before that I am here to introduce to ya chumps a really special person! The one founder of our fabulous Kremland Kasino! The greatest! The Rudest! The strongest! Meanest! The King-iest darn reptile this side of the Grand Mainline! Our Boss...the one and only...KING K. ROOOOOOL!!"

The spotlight focused on the stage as the floor parted away, something rising from it's depths. A huge throne of red and gold rose upwards with the big hulking round figure of the one pirate croc king. His big eye twitching ever so slightly. His golden-plated belly and crown glittering under the lights. His reptilian maw in a devilish grin. King K. Rool was here!!

Diddy was already getting on a fighting stance. Pauline kept a close eye on him before he'd do something rash. After all, they weren't sure what was happening yet...


"Gahaha! Welcome to all our wonderful visitors!! It is such a pleasure...for you that is...to finally meet you all in person!! I am sure you have all enjoyed our luxurious accommodations for all your gambling and relaxing needs. And of course, you all have invested tons of your hard-earned savings in our humble establishment. I couldn't be happier..." Said K. Rool with a boastful and almost mocking tone. The Kremling around all clapped and cheered, althought the casino clients seemed more scared and confused than anything. The nasty reptiles simply glaring at them to force them to clap along, which they had to do reluctantly.

"That is why, Kremland Kasino is proud to present to you, their grand attraction. For one-night only! Give it up for our very special guest. The stinky, insufferable, fury-inspired thorn on my side that for years have caused me nothing but grief! Give it up for the one and only: Donkey Kong!!"

The floor of the dinning area now parted, spotlights focusing down while revealing another platform of the same size elevating. At the very center of it was the one ape hero, Donkey Kong, growling and shouting as it waved its arms and legs, which were chained to the floor. "Ook ook ook!!" Roared DK, unable to escape his bindings. Simply clenching teeth and snarling at K. Rool who watched with glee.

The Kremlings simply booed and heckled at the big ape with laughter, while the rest of the people just gasped and stared in fear.

A pair of Krushas started to place something around him. Diego immediately noticing the painting on the big barrels: TNT!!

"Oh no!" Gasped Pauline in horror.


"That's right, folks! For a one-night only! You'll be spectators of a wonderful fireworks display courtesy of yours truly!!" King K. Rool proclaimed as he revealed his signature Blunderbuss. "So please, give a grand applause to our main event: The Demise of Donkey Kong!!"
 
"My guess is that Donkey Kong was captured by K. Rool. We better find him and rescue him," Diego said as he was analyzing more at the Grand Star and he was actualy working on something. Before he could try and free the Star, he heard some noises. Before long, he would see that the source of noices was none other than Polari.

"Everything okay, Polari?" Diego asked him before he got his answer. There was a large commotion and they needed to take care of it.

"Right!" Diego said before he turned toward the console that held the Grand Star and he finished doing what he was planning to do.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Diego smiled upon seeing Pricness Rosalina and whe she came to his side, he gave her an emrace. Of course, the joy of the reunon was short-lived as the hustle, bustle and chaos. It turned out it was none other than King K. Rool. Diego began suiting up in the crowd, putting on his Gunner armor.

Diego had a bad feeling on what was going to happen and his fears were confirmed when he saw the chained-up Donkey Kong. They were gonna try and blow him up!

Diego navigated through the crowd before he got a clear-shot. He fired a Stealth Burst.

King K. Rool would notice a glint in front of his face, but before he could do anything, it suddenly burst and exploded right in his face.

Exploiting the massive distraction, he went on stage, and used a Smash move on the restaints to free Donkey Kong. Even if the chains survived, Diego's blasts at the floow weakened them allowing DK to pull them out and free himself.

"Ladies and gentlemen! I would like to apologize for this last-minute interruption, but we are here to to uproot this establishment. Please feel free to regain your lost funds and enjoy the showstopper! THE KRUSHING OF K. ROOL!" Diego shouted as he got into the zone to face down the gator. "Ready to beat him down, big guy?" Diego said with a smile to DK.
 
((Was hoping freeing DK'd take long, but oh well))

The shining spark of the Sealth Burst flied past the crowds and into the stage. K. Rool frantically dodge off his throne as the explosion bursted out, avoiding getting damaged.

"Gah!! Who dares!?" Roared the nefarious crocodile only for his eyes to wide (or in case of his one swollen eye, stay the same?) as Diego made his appearance and boast to the audience, followed by him weakening DK's bindings and allowing the big ape to just force his way free. Chains shattering into pieces as he flexed his arms free with a mighty roar.

Donkey Kong didn't know this person, but was thankful for helping him escape. "Ook ook!" He cried with a big goofy grin before shifting into a defiant frown towards the Kremling Krew that surrounded them.

"You little punk! You're ruining everything!!!" King K. Rool roared at our hero. Then addressing his own staff "You nincompoops!!! I told you to check for anyone's weapons before getting here!!"

After cursing some more he seemed to collect himself...as best as he could; Which meant still incredibly angry and petty. "Well then! You want to be a hero, huh boy? Then allow our establishment's free service of BURRYING YOU ALONGSIDE THAT INSUFFERABLE APE!!"

In one swift move, her took off his golden crown and throw it towards Diego. To our hero's surprise, the crown flew right past him, not really targeting him, but flying across the hall before hitting a switch on the wall then fly back to K.Rool's hand, who then placed the item back on his head.

The sound of an alarm was heard for a moment, right as the exit gates of the Casino closed shut, followed by iron bars blocking the windows. Him and all the client of the building were now trapped inside.

As he sat back into his throne, the monarch reptile shouted to all his peers. "Don't you stand there, idiots!! GET THEM!!!"

The Kremlings roared in rally and charged towards the center of the arena. A group of four Kritters followed by two strong Krushas.

One of the big ones charged at DK, bringing it's fists down before being caught by the strong primate, who kept the kremling locked for the moment. One of the Kritters leaped at Diego, ready to swipe him before a blast of galaxy-shaped energy hit his chest and sent him away.

Rosalina walked to her boyfriend's side with Polari floating near. Despite being stuck in the bunny outfit, she was ready to fight along.

Pauline, meanwhile, was leading the bystanders to disperse and gather somewhere safe as all the Kasino's staff were now focused on the fray. However, Daisy simply rushed to the cente to join up with Diego and Co.

"Daisy?" Rosalina asked surprised at the brunette princess, who was now with ehr fists up in a fighting position, even punching the air as a taunt a couple of times.

"Hey, now way I'm just gonna stay back and not help around." Daisy explained.

"But, do you even know how t--"

"Peach has been teaching me a few tricks, don't worry. Heck, I was actually invited to one of those crazy tournaments you folks always get to go, but you know, the whole stadium disaster happened and missed my chance. But, might as well test out my stuff with this scale-faces, right?"
 
((Well, heroism is preferred promptly))

"Well gee, it's as if the whole reason I did that was exactly to ruin your horrific plan and spite you," Diego snapped sardonically over at the giant reptile. "Well, looks like a boss is only is as good as his subordinates," he teased before he saw the angry gator look at him. "No thanks! Instead I'll help myself to the COMPLIMENTARY BAGS AND SUITCASE I'LL MAKE OUT OF YOUR COLOSSAL FAT ASS!!" Diego shouted back with as much anger to K. Rool.

Before he could use his reflector shield over to block the crown, he saw the crown pass him and hit a switch. Cue locked gates and the whole casino under lockdown.

He normally would be worried, but he had a plan for that. He just needed to take care of these chumps.

He switched over his attack and began a charged attack and before he could fire at one of the Kritters, he saw that his kickass girlfriend came in to send him flying. Diego also observed Pauline take charge of evacuating everyone. He also saw that Princess Daisy was here to fight with them.

One of the Kritters headed toward Diego, but Diddy Kong came into start mauling the thing.

Diego saw his charged shot was ready and he fired over at K. Rool.

"All right you half-rate reptile, bring it on," Diego said as he looked over at K. Rool. He did not kow why he was this mad. Maybe it was because he was threatening Donkey Kong. Maybe it was because he was screwing over a bunch of people financially.

And maybe because he was such an asshole that Diego felt compelled to beat him on principle.

"Hahahahah!" Cackled King K. Rool. He stood on his throne despite the incoming projectile. As the charged shot reached him, He brought his stomach forward, the golden plate of his belly shining brightly when it impacted with the blast of energy. The charge shot was immediately reflected back at Diego at twice the speed.

A counter move!! Before anyone could help him, our hero was hit by his own attack and launched into the air before dropping harshly on the floor.

"Diego!!" Rosalina exclaimed worried, but then distracted by the incoming swipe of a Kritter's claws. Daisy quickly aided her friend by delivering a powerful bump of her hips against the kremling and send him flying. Certainly a move she learned from Peach.

"Everyone get in here!!" Ordered K. Rool. Staff room doors opened only for more Kremligns to pop out. One of the big soldier helmet-wearing Klumps moved towards Diego to strike him, but was pushed away by a Krusha flying straight to him, courtesy of Donkey Kong. The heroic ape picked Diego up and put him back to his feet then rushed to beat up some more enemies.

their were being more and more outnumbered. "There's too many of them!" Exclaimed Polari. Rosalina looked frantically for something to level the playfield and soon locked her sights on the TNT barrels they had previous settled to blow up DK. With her Gravitational Pull she brought the barrel to her, making it float with her magic before launching it at a pack of Kremlings.

The barrel detonated and send tons of them flying sky high. She proceeded to do the same with the other barrel, trying to lower the number of enemies in the area. Diddy Kong also was helping by flying into the air with his barrel jetpack and unleashing a barrage of peanut shots at the kremling forces below.

"Gah, little pest. Da boss wants' ya gone!!" Roared another Kursha, who charged towards Diego.
 
Diego did not expect to be hit with his own attack and was not able to get his reflective barrier up in time before he got hit. "I will gut him like a fish," Diego muttered darkly as he got up. The fight had begun picking him up, seeing Princess Daisy kick some serious ass in mauling a Kritter.

More and more mooks were coming and Diego was tossed back onto his feet thanks to Donkey Kong, who proceeded to go over and began going to town on the Kritters, Klumps and Krushas. There was a large number of them which was becomign difficult in order to fight them. However, Diego then saw his girlfriend go and even the odds by tossing a TNT barrel over at a pack of Kremlings. Diego smiled at seeing his princess kick so much ass.

"And I want you gone as well!" Diego said as he used a powerful Smash attack in the Krusha's face. He then grabbed him, swung around and tossed him into another one. He then turned into K. Rool and smirked.

He saw the fat croc about to use his blunderbuss, but Diego launched another Stealth Burst, though inside of the K.Rool's gun, causing it to blow up.

"Your scam is falling to pieces," Diego told K. Rool with a smirk.
 
((I was focusing on them taking out the Kremlings before fully stepping K.rool in, but once again, Diego jumping the gun I guess XD))

As Rosalina kept throwing the rest of the TNT Barrels, sweeping more of the incoming Kremling horde; And as Diddy Kong was aiding from above towards any stragglers. It seemed everything was being controlled so the reptilian head honcho had no way to run. He attempted to detonate the barrels before they would be taken by the cosmic princess with the use of his blunderbuss, but as he was ready to fire, Diego managed to shoot a Stealth Burst right inside of his gun, causing it to burst and leave the nefarious crocodile comically covered in soot.

"Aaagh! You insufferable lil' punk!! After I'm done with you and that putrid primate!! I will just start this gig again!! As for you, I'll make sure to pound you into jelly!!" K. Rool exclaimed as he furiously leaped from his thrown and slammed down upon our hero, who barely was able to dodge him.

VS KING K. ROOL
- Cruel Crooked Crocodile -

It seemed he was stronger than Diego had anticipated. DK stood close to him, pounding his fists against his chest and he gave a battle cry. Ready to fight. K. Rool quickly rushed at them with a powerful hook; even wearing a boxing glove seemly out of nowhere!
 
((Ohp sorry, but K. Rool is that type of asshole, ya know))

"Bring it on, you miserable evolutionary dead end!" Diego yelled back back as he saw K. Rool coming at him. While he did not play any of the DK games, he had seen and known about what he could do. The blunderbuss nor the crown surprised him and he knew the kroc had several tricks up his sleeve. He dodged the the boxing glove and proceeded to do a smash attack over on the Kroc's face. However, Diego also realized that he would need Donkey Kong to do more of the actual fighting while Diego would have to be in the supporting role. At least for the time being.

While Diego switched over to his basic laser, he began shooting at K. Rool's face. They did little knockback or damage, but like Fox's laser, it was a good way to rack up damage over time and with your opponent not much the wiser over the entire thing. All the while he was looking for an opening while wondering if he could activate the Mario mode on his Wii Gunner suit once more to be able to go much more into physical power.
 
"Gah!!" K. Rool was send by by the surprise smash attack, but did not flinched as much as one'd hope. The continuing standard lasers also did little to stop him before he swiped at Diego, sending him back from the impact.

K. Rool laughed but his guard was down which allowed DK to deliver a hard punch straight on the jaw, making the crooked crocodile roll across the floor before hitting a pillar. The simian hero rushed to continue his barrage but as he tried to punch again, K. Rool was prepared and activated his Counter Move, making his golden plated belly glow once more and reflect the strength of DK's punch back at him.

"Oook!!" DK was send flying backwards before crashing on a nearby roulette table. He quickly got up, however, dusting off his fur a little.

K. Rool swiped his cape to reveal some kind of backpack device. A propeller emerged from the device, allowing K. Rool to soar upwards. Once on air he aimed his Blunderbuss down and unleashed a barrage of spiked balls towards our heroes.
 
Diego got back on his feet, letting out a breath and kept firing at K. Rool, intent on weakening him further. In fact, the progress seem to work well how Donkey Kong was able to use his impressive strength to smash the Kroc across the room like a bowling ball.

K. Rool then had to use his countering ability with the plate. Given how he shook off the punch easily, it further confirmed to Diego that K. Rool was getting weaker and more prone to damage. However, he stopped firing the lasers when he saw him take out his strange looking copter pack to get into the air. When he saw the spike balls come at them, Diego smirked. He got in front of DK and activated his reflect shield, sending the spiked balls back at K. Rool and damaging him further.

Taking advantage at the reptile's shock of getting his projectiles reflected back, Diego jumped in the air and launched another Stealth shot, activating it the explosive right in the face of K. Rool and further disorienting him.
 
((Again you're making it too easy. I'm gonna have to undo a little of that...))

While the well timed reflection did helped our hero avoid damage, it didn't meant that K. Rool wasn't expecting it. His copter seemed fast, dodging the reflected projectiles and even Diego's Stealth Burst.

Laughing maniacally, he continued to rain down spikes balls upon them. DK dodged left and right, managing to not get hit.
 
((Yeah, that's a good point. Sorry about that though K. Rool is a player character rather than a boss character, hence why I'd think he struggle. But I see your point. Happy Thanksgiving from the USA by the way :D ))

"Oh come on," Diego muttered at how the hell the fatass reptile was capable of dodging both his own projectiles and the stealth burst. However, Diego knew that he could not dodge forever. So instead, Diego held onto his reflector shield, sending back whatever spike balls that K. Rool was firing at him.

"Hey big guy, I'll keep him occupy, you try and prepare a surprise attack," Diego whispered to Donkey Kong.
 
K. Rool kept on dodging the reflected attacks, laughing all the way. "Hahaha! What fool! I am not so easily defeat-aaahg!!"

His mocking was quickly interrupted by Diddy Kong. Having flew to the monarch reptile and leaped at him face, holding himself against him and blocking his view. "Gaaah!! Get off of me you simian simpleton!!!!"

Diddy kept on holding him. Keeping him steady for Diego to do a next attack. Meanwhile DK nodded to our hero's suggestion and quickly started to spin his arm, charging up a punch.
 
Diego saw that Diddy Kong went and flew over onto K. Rool's face to attack and blind him. Diego charged up a powerful attack before he ran past K. Rool before he jumped in the air. He did so he could get closer to the airborne K. Rool while also to make sure the reptile couldn't do a counter.

He fired the charged blast at K. Rool as soon as he saw the kroc's back to him.
 
King K. Rool kept on furious try to push Diddy away from him, but the smaller Kong kept his grip, making the villainous reptile fly all over the place. Unknowingly, he had turned around and let Diego have a direct aim at his propeller machine.

With his charged shot, he shot at K. Rool's back. The propeller bursted to pieces and the croc unceremoniously landed on the casino floor head first. Diddy head simply leaped away moments prior and land on a nearby plastic palm tree.

"Ugh...you'll pay for th-...uh oh..." K. Rool shouted only to halt halfway, eyes wide open (the bigger one just wider) at what was in front of him. DK stood proudly in front of him, punch fully charged. And so he thrusted his first forward and hit K. Rool with all his might. The scaled monarch went flying and slammed right upon his golden throne, fece on the cushion and his legs comically dangling on the air.

"Uuuugh..." K. Rool moaned, sliding down his chair and collapsing on the floor. Seeing stars and falling unconscious. The battle was over.

"Diego, well done!!" Exclaimed Rosalina, rushing to him and giving him a short but warm hug. Our hero'd probably be a-ok with this; Not just cause it was cute, but also given his girlfriend was still wearing that nice bunnygirl costume.

DK and Diddy cheered happily. The big guy moving to Diego and giving him a friendly pat on the back (Of course, this being DK. The pat was sure enough to shake him off his footing due to his strength) while the little guy hopping excited around Pauline, who giggled and cheered from the back.

Now, it was just going to the security level and open the gate so everyone could go free with their money back!

...or so they hoped...

As everyone cheered. They unfortunately didn't notice how one of K. Rool's eyes suddenly shot open. If there was something this ruffian reptilian was good at, it was faking defeat and then pull a sneaky move when somebody least expected it.

"He he he..." and so he did. Quietly moving his hand to the controls on one of the handles of his throne and pressing a big red button.

Without a moment to really avoid it. The floor in the middle of the area parted away to reveal a deep pit! Diego, Rosalina and Donkey Kong all fell down as the rest could only watch in shock!

"Oh no!" Cried Pauline.

"Mama! Diego!" Cried Polari before rushing down the pit to find them. Just then. More Kremlings made their appearance from hidden rooms, quickly surrounding the remaining heroes. Diddy Kong, Daisy and Pauline were eventually restrained. As the rest of the krew kept vigilance over the rest of the crowd.


((Seems the OST for Smash Ultimate got released early. So I feel this remix fits the currently situation.))


While a bit wobbly at first, K. Rool regaining his footing, getting into a loud guffaw. "Gah Hah Hah Hah Hah!!!" The rest of his krew laughed alongside him.

Down on the hole, Rosalina groaned as she got up from the floor. Her first action was rushing to Diego and helping him get back to his feet. Polari hovered down and reached them moments after. "Oh good. You're alright? Nothing broken?" Asked the Luma to the two.

"I'm fine. Diego, are you ok?" The cosmic princess said. Meanwhile, DK simply got up from the floor in a single hop. "Ook ook!"

Rosalina gave a sigh of relief. "Glad to see you're also alright, Donkey Kong."

The pit was deep enough for them to have it hard to climb back up, but they were still able to see up, or at least, have a good look of K. Rool who approached the pit's edge to taunt them.

"Too bad I had to resort to this. Plan B is less dazzling than blowing you up in a firework display, but I must say...way more effective! Gah hah hah!" Said the pirate monarch. "You may have left a mess in here, but after a little remodelling Kremland Kasino is going back in business!"

That's when everyone was able to heard a deep growl. Or rather...a series of growls that occasionally shifted into scary glitchy screeches, still deep...they immediately noticed the iron bars at the end; A closer corridor inside of the pit. From its darkness, a pair of big glowy eyes merged...followed by a second pair. The same powerful growl followed again...

"You thought you had your lucky hand, but too bad; Now you're gonna become pet food for our lil' mascot! Heh, we found it deep in the canyon's caverns when we build our establishment, covered in some icky black goop that was scurrying from some cracks. We couldn't really have it around so we locked it down there. I'm sure it just loooves to meet you, and gobble you up a la flamé. Gahahahaha!"

"Klump!!" He quickly gave a glare to the enarby Kremling.

"Yes cap'n?"

"Open the gate...."

"Aye aye, cap'n!!"

The Klump pressed a button in a remote control on his waist, and the gates down at the pit opened. A long four legged beast stepped from the darkness, it's neck held by a collar and a series of chains that disappeared deep within the hallway it came from.

Some kind of mutated dragon. With a huge maw and long spiky wings. It's body of black scales with faint purple tips and its long tail, somehow glitchy, with visual mutations that seemed out of this world, ended on a tip of purple flame. In fact a lot of its movements and small part of him seemed to glitch occasionally! As it opened its maw to roar, it was encased in purple fire that seemed to wildly stay across it's mouth.

King K. Rool looked at Diego directly, chuckling a bit before proclaiming. "Seem your luck has ran out, you lil' punk! This be a lessor for you...when you mess with King K. Rool's Kasino, THE HOUSE ALWAYS WINS! GAH HAH HAH HAH!!"


The beast looked furiously at our heroes before giving a mighty roar....

VS INFERNIZARD X
- Piping-Hot Flamed Poke-Fiend -
 
Diego smirked on see the propeller pack be busted and seeing the Kroc being sent falling toward Donkey Kong... who had unleashed his fully-charged punch straight into the reptile's unsightly face. Cue K. Rool rocketing across the casino and being smashed onto his throne. Diego cheered and laughed, happily returning the hug that his sexy girlfriend was giving him. All they needed to was to get the money toward the ripped off patrons, get the Star and head on their merry way.

Unfortunately, thigns were not always that sort of easy.

Diego noticed the ground disappeared under him and he realized what happened.

"YOU GODDAMN PIECE OF" was all Diego could say before they fall down into the pit.

Diego was a bit stunned, but ultimately all right. "That... ass," Diego hissed under his breath before his girlfriend helped him up. "I'm okay, just a little annoyed. Granted, we should be able to get out of here," Diego commented, smiling that his princess and Donkey Kong were all right before he glared at the Kroc before seeing what appeared.

It was a Charizard.

A corrupted mutated glitch Mega Charizard X.

Diego was wondering what the pattern with that strange purple sludge was appearing...

"You do realize it will try and get you, right?" Diego commented to K. Rool before he faced over to Infernizard X as his data was showing him.

Diego began charging up a powerful attack and then fired it, hoping to see what this could do to it.
 
"We specially chained him up to keep him down. Besides, I'm safe all the way back from the pit. Gonna be busy planning what to do with the rest of your little party. But maybe I should let them watch you all get turned into hot smores, gahahaha!!" With that King K. Roll moved out of sight, while the Infernizard X just roared once more before stepped forward and moving it's long fiery tail to swipe at our heroes.

Rosalina and DK both leaped out of the way, the whole group could just feel the heat emanating from the mutated beast. diego's charged blast hit the monster upon its scales. IT winced, but it didn't seem to do such a big deal of damage.

The Infernizard then charged more flamed into his mouth before spouting them out as a barrage of fire balls, coming right towards them.
 
"Yet he can still fly," Diego said with a tone drier than the Dry Dry Desert. "And you are the two who chained him. How long before he realizes you and your kronies make better targets?" Diego added though the krazy kroc appeared to have ignored what he was saying. However, he turned himself toward the Infernizard X and helped move them away from the large tail swap.

The charged shot appeared to do a bit of damage, but not much. Diego began using his reflector shield to bounce back the fireballs over to the Infernizard X. However, he also thinking of what they could do fight back.

"Anyone got any ideas?" he asked them while he kept the shield up
 
"I'm not sure..." Rosalina muttered back only to gasp as the Infernizard X riled up once more, charging a big mass of flames into his maw. The creature then attacked once more, this time with a massive spew of fire breath.

The cosmic princess put herself in front of everyone, quickly using her Gravitational Pull to basically circle the flames around her and the others, protecting themselves from being scorched.

Now that the fire in its mouth was once again charging itself., DK rushed to the monster and leaped into the air, holding on to its head and slamming fist after fist. The Infernizard groaned in pain and flailed around, trying to get the ape off him, but this also made it so its tail was swinging around and possible hit our heroes.

All while this happened, the chains that connected into the collar on his neck continued to rattle....
 
"You are freaking amazing," Diego told his girlfriend when she used her gravity powers to manipulate the flames so they circled around them and would disappitate.

However, they were still trying to deal with the massive mutated Charizard monster, with the purple goop definitely being a trait they needed to look more into trying find out more information on it. In the meanwhile, there was the mergancy at hand here. However, Diego did see Donkey Kong dive int and begin a beatdown. Hwoever, Diego got hit with the tail lash, sending him on the wall.

There was also the rattle of the chains. "Those chains are gonna break soon," Diego said as he kept firing at the Infernizard X, whittling away at its health. "Come on, I need more power. Maybe like with that Mario powerup or something new. Give me the power to save someone," he muttered out to whoever could be listened as he looked down to his arm cannon.
 
((Black goop, not purple. But don't worry))

Diego plead to the unknown voice that had previously awakened. But nothing came.

It seemed that whatever power he had previously speaking with was not available at this moment, or perhaps just unable to aid.

The Infernizard X swiped at them once more, tugging at its dangling chains, He appeared to be calling upon more flames into it's maw; A worrying sign as Rosalina could not protect them forever from such fire.

That is when the cosmic princess got an idea. "Wait...this may be a bit crazy, but it may at least weaken him a little. Or at least reduce some of the fire." She pointed above, high above at the roof of the kasino. Hard to see but a sprinkler seemed to be just above the pit. "Diego, think you can make the shot? DK and I will keep it busy."
 
Diego sighed at the lack of response before taking a breath and reinforcing his resolve against the Infernizard X. He saw that it was going to bring more fire. Diego could reflect them, but he knew that it was not a viable strategy in the long run. Especially since he had no idea the properties of that fire. HGowever, he then turned to Rosalina when she made her suggestion.

The sprinkler system.

Diego beamed before pulling the Princess for a quick kiss. "You are so utterly brilliant," he told her before he looked up. He took a breath before he ran and jumped off the wall as much as he could while Donkey Kong and Rosalina kept the big lizard distracted. They were too far for him to get up, but with the double-jump, he managed to get into range.

He fired his Stealth Shot.

It went up, up, up... and it exploded near the sprinkler, causing it to kick and began spraying the area with water. Heck, it was heck of a loter raining down on them.
