[PP-F8] <<Monkey King>> Donkey Kong Kaiju?

[Freyd 0]

Freyd took @Kiluia Seiko and @Haine's offer to group up again to heart.  They had both been great friends and he somehow felt like he hadn't been able to properly show it.  So much had changed recently that he was still reeling as the implications of his shifted perspective dawned.  The best time to reach out was always 'now'.  Playfully grinning as he typed the invite, he just couldn't help himself:

Damned dirty ape in need of fisticuff therapy.  Bring Bluenette and cookies.  Love, Freyd. 

Florenthia was a half-decently sized settlement with a good selection of shops and wares, which Freyd dutifully perused for bargains.  Most of the prices were simply recorded on his ever-present multitude of charts and tables, but he found himself admiring some of the items purely for the simple joy of browsing.  One of the local cooks actually made a half-decent cup of coffee, which he diligently sipped with his feet up while awaiting his companions.  The empty flasks of Liquor of Light and Divinity's Wait on the table made for odd flavour shots, but would serve their true purpose soon enough.

In light of a shopping spree, Haine was at home rearranging her room. An array of tacky fairy lights and tapestries were strewn on her bed, waiting to be hung. It was a shame what would happen to the elegant bedroom Kiluia had designed just for her. Over time, it was changing as her tastes and color preferences evolved. She stood on a ladder, stringing fairy lights around the walls. It provided a much needed glow to the otherwise gloomier room, with earthier color patterns that mirrored nature. Slowly yet surely, she would revamp it into something bubblegum pink, in the same vein as pepto bismol.

Obnoxious and sparkly, that was her brand.

She moved the ladder to a particularly taller wall in the room, tall enough to where she was too short to reach the ceiling even with the ladder. After a moment of hopping about and all but falling backwards, she threw her hands in the air. She let out an exasperated sigh, the fairy lights falling to the floor. But wait - she happened to know one useful beanstalk that could reach it no problem. She shouted, hoping he could hear her all the way from the kitchen.

"Kiiiil! I neeed youu!"

The house was smelling like a bakery. There was a cooling rack for the brownies, the cake, and he pulled out cookies. They weren’t for sale as they had no real benefit to a player. Just for flavor for the most part. A voice came from somewhere down the steps listening to Haine yell for him. He took a cooling brownie with him and headed toward the resonating sound of her voice. It was then a message came through causing the man to stop at the top of the stairs. Eyes would glance and skim over the message. How’d he know I was baking cookies…suspicious. “Haine, Freyd wants some help with a monkey quest.”

He had heard about the monkey quest and knew where it was. He hadn’t personally done it himself, but he would have to remedy that situation.  It was time for them to go to give help to a guild mate in need. He rounded the corner to her room and glanced at the decorations. She went all out. “Did you need me?” He handed her a brownie after learning she had enjoyed the more than cakes.

Freyd brow furrowed.  "What the heck are they doing, baking muffins or som....ohhhhh."  Reality dawned.  "Right.  I'm just going to wait patiently then."  Persi looked at him like he should be ashamed of himself for even wondering something like that out loud.  Still, it was a bit unusual for them to take this long.  "I'm sure that they're just dragging their feet."   She nodded aggressively, as if he should just assume that and NOTHING ELSE, and return to sipping his third cup of coffee.

"There had better be actual cookies, is all I'm saying."  He was wired, which meant that he was chatty.  Persi rolled her eyes and covered them with her 'paws'.  Wait... did that mean she could hear through her eyes?!  So weird.  

"So, maybe... I dunno.. table football?"  Freyd suddenly recalled his last epic defeat at her hands... she didn't even have hands!  "No, just... nevermind."  He started flicking the empty flasks on the table, making them spin and rattle as they clinked around.  A low threatening growl emerged from between the barrels.

[Haine 0]

"Oh really? Niceee."

She was still preoccupied on her tip toes, battling with her inherent height to reach the ceiling. She squeaked and fell back, but luckily Kiluia being nearby had buffered the fall as she fell backwards onto him. With a resounding oof, she felt the wind knocked out her chest. "Ugh, why am I so short?" She huffed and spun around, hands pressed onto his chest. Her brown eyes ignited at the sight of a freshly made brownie. Knowing her all too well, he handed it to her before she could help herself. "Aww sweets," she gushed, ruffling his soft white tufts. "You remembered, didn't you?"

She hummed in approval and pulled away from him. She bit into the warm dessert, the sweet goodness melting on her tongue. A close mouthed squeal escaped her. She turned to him and pecked his cheek. Rounding the corner of the bed, she picked up a string of fairy lights and handed it to him. There were some extras strewn on the floor, all in various colors. She pointed at the high ceiling and took another bite. "Heeelp. I can't reach it?" She laughed nervously. It was embarrassing, but she had to ask him for help. There was no way she'd get up there without a taller ladder. She scarfed the brownie in the most un lady-like fashion when his back faced her, a few crumbs falling to the carpet.

He would he fairy lights and assist her by placing them up around her room. Her falling on him wasn’t surprising as he was always ready for something. He finished placing it for her with the help of her ladder before speaking. “I’ll pack some cookies. I think we can get ready now.” He smiled as he started to walk out her room with her hand in his. He didn’t want the man to be waiting longer than he had already. With a moments notice, they were off.

They arrived on floor 8 and he was mid typing to Freyd. Eyes would glance around as he stood at the gate looking around for the man. The message was sent as fast as he opened up his HUD.

Quote

We are at the Gate. 

With that he looked over at Haine. “Think he’ll like some cookies?” He asked with a slight smile on his face. A squeeze to her hand and he spoke to her. “I’ll finish with your room after we beat up the monkey. “

[Freyd 0]

Freyd had foolishly fallen asleep while reclining against the array of barrels and crates stacked next to the portal.  He lay sprawled unceremoniously on his back, snoring loudly, with a half-dozen empty ceramic cups of coffee scattered in the sand around him.  Several looked to have broken when they were no doubt knocked down by his impromptu nap.  Persi lay snuggled on his chest, like a black void plushy weighing him down or some sort of majestically beast surveying her domain while resting on the corpse of her defeated foe.  In actuality, she was keeping watch and giving a decided stink-eye to anyone who thought it was their place to judge.  Her head poked up and brilliant blue eyes opened the moment the portal activated.  She dug her claws into Freyd's flesh to wake him the moment she spotted Kiluia and Haine's forms coalescing.

"YEEEOWWWW!"

Freyd yelped and crunched his abs in pain, throwing off his precarious balanced position on top of the stacked goods and causing half of them to come crashing down upon him in the process.  His head popped up amidst a pile of cactus fruit a moment later, with spines poking painfully in across his face and head.  Persi was rolling on the ground next to him in a pure fit of joy.

"Owww."

[Haine 0]

Thanks to him, the fairy lights had all been in place. There were just some things which even a ladder couldn't reach, unfortunately. She waved him off as he headed down to the corridor. Whilst he was in the kitchen, she placed all the excess clutter in storage bins. She'd return to fix things later, but for now, business called. She swept her messy blue locks into a bun. On the way to the kitchen, a tantalizing aroma of fresh made cookies greeted her. On cue, her mouth began to salivate. Curse her and her insatiable appetite. Cookies? They would be gone before the other could blink if they were left unattended.

She grabbed a few of her things and followed Kiluia out the door.

Surely enough, they'd arrived at floor eight. With a skip in her step, she followed at his side. "Cookies? Who doesn't like cookies? I think he loves chocolate." She reached out for the young man, fingers lacing with his. As they walked, she noticed a stand of baubles and useless trinkets. There were all sorts of colorful things to distract the eye. She gasped, grabbing ahold of a small bear plush with a purple bow at its neck. "Look how cuutee."

Freyd appeared in front of the duo in a pile of those fruits. A blink was given as he looked over at Haine and back to Freyd. “Hey.” He blinked slightly at him. The fact that he was accepting this was strange enough. He leaned over to help Freyd back to his feet. “I hope you are okay man. And I brought cookies for you. Its just a peanut butter mixture for the cookie.” He pulled out his HUD and handed him a set of cookies. “I’ve never heard of this quest really. I wanted to see if I could get any more information from it.”

While he waited, he set the cookies and pet Persi. Squawk. Pingu and the cub managed to tag along with their masters and waddled up between his legs and the bear cub was between Haines. He perked a brow looking at the two and smirked. “Looks like they didn’t wanna stay alone.”

Wincing as he plucked a few stray needles from his nose, Freyd greeted them both, stifling a yawn and stretching as he took Kiluia's hand to extricate himself from this unusual predicament.  He eagerly stuffed one of the cookies in his mouth giving them both a thumbs up and watching their collective familiars playfully getting to know each other.  

"Mwat tooth yoo thso lung?" he asked, chewing lightly as he struggled to shake the sleep from his eyes.  "Awre we weady to thoo thiss?  Oww!"   The cactus seemed to have applied a mild analgesic to his face, making him even less coherent.  He motioned towards the outer gates, suggesting that they should leave before some other aggressive foodstuffs decides to start picking on him.  Persi led the way, eager to show off her home floor to the others, especially the penguin.  It clearly didn't register with her, as she strutted through the sweltering heat,  that it might be a little bit of an issue.

[Haine 0]

The two arrived in town, immediately met by a wave of sweltering heat. Haine came prepared for it, equipped in a pair of capris. They'd walked and from the corner of her periphery, she witnessed an amusing sight. There laid Freyd, sprawled on the floor, covered in crates of prickly cactus fruit. Haine gaped and covered her mouth with her hands. "What on god's green earth-" She rushed forward to him and noted the mischievous mongoose rolling around on the floor. It was as if she were laughing at her owner. She let Kiluia bring him to his feet as she circled him, noting all the spikes on his garb. Thankfully he felt but a prickle in this world. Nonetheless, she worked at plucking the stray spikes off his coat.

She stepped back, hands on her hips. "Now how did this happen?" She pointed to the empty crates and the fruit spilled all over the over. Unceremoniously, the two familiars behind them revealed themselves. Upon sight of Persi, the penguin and cub were hounding her personal space. She didn't seem to mind, however. Miska sniffed the strange looking animal, he was not used to such tiny beings. Haine blinked, incredulously. "Where did you come from?!" The two were supposed to be home, yet there they were. "Ah, figured." She slapped a palm against her forehead, she forgot to lock the door before they left. Nevermind that. As long as they stayed out of trouble, she had no qualms.

He listened to Freyd speak and then looked at his familiars. It seemed they were tag alongs for this but no matter. He spoke to him. “It took me a bit since I was cooking and making things. I didn’t hear the notification for the message.” He looked at the man chewing. Seemed like the plant had a strange effect on him. He shook his head lightly at Freyd. “Sorry for the hold up though. I heard you need some help with a monkey?” He perked a brow looking at his friend.

He patted the penguin’s head to keep her from disturbing the rest of the familiars. Pingu loved to poke and prod things that were not familiar to her. Her beady eyes gazed from the two new people then back to the forest. This forest didn’t have snow but it wasn’t as hot as the floor she lived on. Curious. What was this place to her? She waddled around looking at it before looking at the desert portion of the floor. The scenery changed from desert to forest.. Hot.. cool… what was this madness?!

[Freyd 0]

"Urrggh.  Less juss go."  Freyd pointed towards the nearby arch formed by two intertwined tree trunks that led to a wide stairway descending from the town to the forest floor.  It was midday, but everything felt a bit dimmer than it should, just because of the immense tree canopy above them.  Massaging his jaw as he walked, trying to shake off whatever reaction he'd had to the spines, Freyd slowly regained control of his lips and was able to speak normally again by the time they neared the field boss's spawn site.

"From what I've heard, this one hits like an absolute brick.  The three of us should be fine together, as long as we stay focused.  I trust that the kids won't go running out into combat?"  He pointed to the bear and penguin.  "Or is Pingu from Madagascar and secretly packing some TNT down his gullet?  Because if he were, that would be awesome."

Without further ado, the group set off into the jungle. She'd attempted this quest before with Kasumi and Raidou, it didn't take long for the monkey king to perish. All thanks to the creature's massive weight, his movements were delayed and left much room for a swift strike at its weak points. The only downside: when it hit, it hit hard. She'd never know that though, the trio had managed to defeat it unscathed. All along, Pingu had taken a fascination to the jungle biome. Little critters skittered around the the jungle floor, drawing attention to her sharp eyes. She ran off, pecking at them to have a taste. Blech, what kind of texture was that? She spat it back out and cringed away. Haine scrunched her nose in disgust.

"They aren't really trained yet," Haine added, with a shrug. "They're just stubborn. We're trying though!" And try they did. The two familiars were easily distracted by their surroundings. "We're getting there, just a lil' more time."

The jungle was humid but wasn’t as bad as dry air in the desert. The echoing of the birds throughout the area caused Pingu to waddle around close to the group. “ Pingu can distract the creature for me to smack it. No rocket launcher though.” He sighed with a fake disappointment. A grin was on his face as he looked at Freyd and Haine. A blink was given as he noticed something moving in the trees. A large something. It was quick and agile with a sense of blur. He furrowed his brow slightly before taking off after it.

Since he was the first to see it, Kiluia launched himself up from tree to tree with ease. He was going to bring this creature to the ground. He predicted the next time the monkey would cross above the two below before it noticed that the third one, him, was gone. When the monkey did notice the third person was gone, Kiluia’s right hand smashed into the back of the Monkey Kings cranium. (All Might -14)

The monkey came crashing down to the ground causing a large impact to the ground shaking the surrounding trees. “Get the fuck down…”

Freyd usually held back when questing with Haine and Kiluia.  Fate and circumstance had never required him to step up or called upon him to show whatever skill he'd developed and he was eager for a chance to show off a little.  He watched his friend jump and dart among the trees, Forgiven Disobedience immediately in hand and at the ready in a a high guard.  His eyes scanned for signs of movement, but it wasn't necessary.  The ape was absolutely massive, towering a half-dozen storeys above him.  How had it even gotten this close without them noticing?!

“Get the fuck down…”

Kiluia's brilliant blow sent the gargantuan thing flying forward, right on top of Freyd.  Attacking would mean letting himself get squashed beneath the beast's bulk, so he did the only thing he could: diving forward to dodge.  He skidded out between the thing's legs at the back end, his face a sickly green because what he had just seen and smelled.

"Monkey's balls, Kil!  Watch your aim!!!"  Gods, he wished he could wretch right now.

Out from the foliage emerged a massive titan-like ape, identical to the foe she had faced before. She noted its movements, swift and erratic. It was not one to underestimate. Despite its minuscule power, the thing compensated for it with agility and sheer size. Living up to its name, the half a story tall ape pounced from tree to tree, surveying the battlefield. Kiluia, with a charged fist, brought the foe plummeting to the earth. A heavy thud stirred the dust, blowing some on Haine's face. She coughed into her elbow and recovered her stance. 

Her eyes widened at the figure trapped in a compromising position beneath the self proclaimed Monkey King. She moved in to attempt to assist, yet as quickly as she'd moved a foot, Freyd slid under and out. Haine clasped a hand over her mouth and could almost feel his digust in that moment. She gagged a little and muttered under her breath. "Oh god, ew."

Before more damage could be done, she prepped her glaive and interjected. "Over here, your highness!" The ape spun around with breakneck speed, raising its fists in the air. Just as its fists pummeled the earth, she dodged out of the way and slipped behind it. She jabbed the glaive at its rear end from afar, she did not want to be within proximity of the thing's sandy fur or foul smell. She scrunched her nose. The thing turned around and with a squeak, she jabbed the end one last time, piercing it straight through its foot. She gained distance before it could crush her as it fell over.

"Ew."

That was a great strike but the angle could of gone a little bit more to the left. He grimaced as Freyd took off in a different direction and was good with not being injured. However, Kiluia did crack a grin at the word monkey balls. Ha.. Monkey balls. Great game. He thought as the man landed on his feet. Eyes of amber would watch Haine take her shot at the Giant King and it shattered. He was worried that this would get out of control had they failed their first strikes. It would have been a highly painful event for the trio had this not went the way it did.

“Sorry about that, man. That thing is super fast. I actually didn’t know it was him until I hit him in the back of the head.” He usually wanted to maximize the damage by killing them quickly as it was humane.

[Freyd 0]

Hurk...  "So gross..."

Freyd recovered as the Monkey King shattered all around him, Haine's deadly spear running it through.

"Thanks for the save," he added, pulling his cowl back to get some extra air.  "This was really not how I expected today to go."  He rested his right hand on a nearby three trunk while catching his breath.  It looked tiny on the colossal tree, but accurately matched how he felt after that battle.  "Thank goodness for having friends around."  A smile gradually returning to his face.  Mere weeks ago, he would have tried to take this beast on solo, feeling that everything had to be done alone.  Reflecting on his experiences, he was grateful that he'd finally succeeded in moving past that sort of nonsense.  

"I guess this means the drinks are on me tonight?"  He straightened and suggested that they might as well begin their climb back up to Florenthia.

The poor young man was visibly shook, leaning the tree and heaving to regain his breath. "You okay there bud?" she teased, albeit feeling bad for him simultaneously. She was just glad she wasn't in the crossfire to get squashed along with Freyd. She moved up to him and pat his shoulder. The gigantic ape materialized, the forest floor suddenly much roomier without its presence. She wiped the sweat from her brow, it was a job well done.

Haine laughed awkwardly at the mention of drinks. She wasn't sure what type of drinks Freyd was reffering to. If it was the kind she was thinking of, she would be stuck in the corner with her chocolate milk. Haine, having noticed the disappearance of her familiar, called out for him. "Mees! Where are you?" She set forth without the others and surely enough, the polar bear was cowering between the thickets. She shook her head and picked the small cub up. "Nevermind you. Let's get it movin'."
