DJ cut through the green plants like a heroic explorer as everyone else followed him from behind. "This would be a lot easier underground." Bugs murmured. "Come on, it's only another 6,000 cubits in this here thick direction." DJ said as he looked at his compass. Suddenly, an elephant trumpet was heard. A pachyderm with three familiar faces appeared. "Wook Gwanny, it's that nice boy fwom next doow." Tweety chirped to his elderly mistress. "Little Damian" Granny smiled. "How funny seeing you here." "Hi Granny" DJ greeted. "Uh, would you and your little friends like a lift?" Granny asked. DJ and Kate nodded their heads yes as their answer. "Giddy-up, Dumbo!" Daffy called, having already climbed aboard. Bugs climbed up the trunk and looked to the little family. "Sure was a lucky coincidence, you showin' up just now." "Yes... Wasn't it?" Granny smirked rather devilishly with her cat. "Okay, that was rather creepy. Anyways, up we go." Tarte said. DJ and Kate felt something off. "Um, are you guys okay?" Love asked. Granny looked a little grave. "I haven't been feeling myself lately... But come aboard!" The girls shrugged and climbed on to ride the elephant like a true jungle safari.

"This is my first time riding on the back of an elephant." said Inori. "It's the first time for all of us" Miki corrected. They had been riding for a very long time and Chiffon was enjoying it. Then came a bunch of rainbow colored canaries who all looked a lot like Tweety. "I've discovered my woots!" Tweety beamed. "I've discovered my lunch." Sylvester smirked. The birds chirped what Tweety often said whenever he would think he would see Sylvester and they all started to attack him. "Cwy fweedom!" Tweety cheered for his fellow canaries, wearing African clothes now. Eventually, they arrived at an ancient temple. "What a fantastic view!" Daffy was amazed. "Unless you're in the audience in which case you've been starin' at an elephant's behind for 30 seconds." Bugs muttered. "Yeah, that is one sight that no one on earth should ever ever ever see." Tarte said, shuddering. "My destiny awaits!" Daffy smiled greedily after the elephant stopped walking. DJ, Love, Miki, Inori, Setsuna, Chiffon, Tarte, and Kate looked all around and saw monkey formations. The diamond had to be around here somewhere. "I guess this is our stop." DJ commented. "Enjoy your adventure, children." Granny smiled to them before she went off with her elephant after they hit the ground together. "Thanks for the lift!" Setsuna called out.

They all went to the temple together and looked around. There was a bigger temple on the other side with molten lava and no bridge or stairs to cross over to it. Daffy finally found something and looked disappointed, but DJ and the girls knew that that was a very dumb move on his part. "This is the Blue Monkey? This dime-store bauble? I've been rooked. Shafted by the gods. I demand recompense. I want my diamond! WHERE IS MY HUMONGOUS ROCK!?" "I think you're about to get it as it lands right on top of you in 3, 2, 1..." Love said. And as if right on cue, a humongous rock landed right on top of duck. "Huh... Pressed duck." Bugs scoffed. DJ moved the rock off from Daffy as he was totally squished and flattened on the ground now. Kate picked up the monkey piece Daffy found. "This looks like a puzzle piece." "What?" DJ looked at her. "She's right, but a puzzle piece to what exactly?" Inori asked. Kate found the puzzle and pieced it all together. However, once she did, a bunch of darts were flying out. After Daffy recovered from the rock fall, he deflated and fell down again. "Kate, quick get all the monkeys on that puzzle board aligned in the right sequence." Tarte said, while dodging all of the darts. DJ tried to help the others dodge the darts as Kate did that, working the best she could. "Okay Kate... Any time now!" Kate finally solved it as Daffy was picking the darts out of his body and the bridge on the other side of the lava was lowering for them. "Yes!" Tarte cheered. "You did it, Kate!"

Then Love looked over. "I see it!" she pointed. Everybody could now see the long-awaited Blue Monkey diamond that was just over the stairs. "I'm rich, I'm affluent, my liquidity is assured!" Daffy rushed over with his greed. "Daffy get back here!" DJ called. "Don't touch that!" "Daffy, I'd listen to him if I were you." Setsuna suggested. DJ tried to hold back the black duck. "The rock is mine!" Daffy kept reaching. "So close!" "Do you mind?" Miki glared at him. "Yes I mind, I should get the treasure, the others too, but we'll discuss that later." Daffy smirked. "Daffy, that diamond is dangerous!" Love said. DJ dropped Daffy and looked cautious of the diamond before he would get it. "Careful with my diamond..." Daffy was nervous, but for the wrong reasons. "Easy now..." DJ got the container the diamond was latched inside of and looked all around it, wondering how it worked, he was a little sad though. "Dad... This is for you..." The diamond glowed and zapped him, turning him into a monkey. "Wow, so that's how it works." said Tarte. "Why DJ, why you?" Daffy mourned the former man. "Why wasn't it me!? Just academic curiosity, you know..." Then he grabbed the diamond and walked away. "Come on, Daffy..." Inori glowered at the black duck. "Change him back." "Why should I?" Daffy looked at her. "Would you do it for me?" Setsuna asked innocently. "Now that's different" Daffy replied before using the diamond to turn DJ back to normal.
