King Kong vs The Planet of the Apes ✅

Chapter 2

     On the ship's front creatures emerge from each side of the sea, landing in front of the army as they readied for more battle. As the first let out a gnashing roar Ursus, Aldo, and an army of apes wearing armor came running into the fight.

"Fire at them!" shouted Ursus to his army.

     The armored apes shot their guns at the giant, water breathing beasts, causing one to die and the other to dive back and circle around.

"Where'd the bastard go?!?" yelled Aldo, not realizing that the creature was arising from the back.

"It's at the back! Let's go!" Ursus ordered, running along with the ape army to the back of the ship.

     Ceasar ran along the opposite side of the ship, but ran into a young female named Zira.

"Where are you going? You're supposed to be getting off this ship." Ceasar ordered.

"No." she refused "I will do what I can to help... even if it means death."

     Ceasar looked up past the female's head, watching his army getting totally annihilated.

"Crazy female!" Ceasar pushed her to the side and continued to running towards the fray.

     Ceasar faced the beast. Holding up his weapon, he did the same as he did to the first. Stabbing it's eye, and then it's neck. But this one was persistent.

"Good God. How does it die?" Ceasar questioned, backing away from the battle.

     Just when all hope seemed lost, an orangutan leaped from above the railing, over Ceasar, and aimed an arrow at the beast. The orangutan pulled back and let it fly. Thus giving one last blow to the creature as it too fell back into the sea.

"Thank you." said Ceasar.

"You're welcome." said the orangutan, who was much older.

"Well..." Ursus started, walking up to the two "If it isn't Maurice."

"It's good to meet you as well Ursus." said Maurice sarcastically.

"You. Always joking." laughed Ursus, with a bit of disdain in his voice.

     Ursus walked off along with Aldo and the armored apes, leaving Ceasar to talk with Maurice.

"You held your own pretty well." Maurice said.

"I wish I knew what we were getting into." Ceasar said nervously.

"Follow me. I'll give you an idea."

     Maurice led Ceasar into the ship's halls and to a room right in the middle of the ship itself. As soon as Ceasar stepped in he saw a young female sitting in the seat next to the door. She looked up at him as he stared at her with much confusion.

"Nova."

"What?" Ceasar paused.

"Nova. She's my daughter."

"She's a human."

"I know."

"Aren't you... scared?"

"No. I don't see why I should be."

"But what if Zaius sees her?"

"Then let him. He will just have to accept the fact that I have a human daughter."

     Nova looked away from Ceasar and her father, picked up a book, and began drawing.

"That's not what I brought you in here to talk about though." Maurice said, breaking the sudden silence.

"Then why did you?"

"You've heard of this land haven't you?"

"Only from Zaius and Maximus."

"Did they tell you everything?"

"They told me what they knew... at least I think they did. Why? Is there something there that we need to know about?"

"I heard stories... stories from other apes about this place. They say they saw... things. Things that no other ape should ever have to see."

     The silence fell into the room again, then Maurice continued talking.

"They say... that there's one... like us."

"Another ape?" asked Ceasar.

"If you can call it that."

     Lightning striked, flashing through the window Maurice was now staring out of.

"They called it Kong. King of the apes."

"How can that be? How can there be another king of the apes?" asked Ceasar.

"This is not just an ape Ceasar... those creatures you just faced... they were just an appetizer... I'm afraid we're heading straight for the main course."

     Ceasar peeked outside the window and saw before him, covered in mist, the one and only... Skull Island.
