The baboons howled like animals as they saw Hayato and Manju, pretty much taunting them with sneers and obscenities that only apes could understand. They even proceeded to throw rocks at the twosome but none of them possessed the strength or prowess for the rocks make it across fifty feet. But they were all in for a very rude awakening.

Clueless as to what was happening, the mandrills were throwing rocks at Hayato's clone to shoot him down but when he proceeded to shoot an elongated flamethrower at them, they went bananas. Their range of space was limited and as the fire got closer and more violent, they started to climb into the few bits of trees in the air, but that would ultimately seal their fate. The flames spread and tacked onto them like wildfire and soon the gutteral cries and dying grunts of the mandrills filled the air as they were cooked, fired and grilled to silence.

Manju stood there watching the whole thing, quiet as ever but inwardly reeling at the boy's tactical evolution. But now with their enemy eloquently dealt with they now could tackle flying over without having to worry about getting attacked or harassed. Not saying a word, Manju came over to Hayato, grabbing him and tossing him to land onto his back. Hopefully he got the memo to hang on tight because soon, Manju went running back on all fours, getting a distance of a hundred feet between themselves and the gap. He took off a rapid gallop, picking up an immense speed quickly and once he got within ten feet of the ledge, Manju sprang and did a front flip off the ledge with a roar.

For as big as the great ape was, he knew how to use his strength and distribute his weight to do practically anything. Hayato and Manju would go horizontal, vertical and then horizontal again three times as the ape rolled to clear more of the distance. At the end of it they came falling within six feet of the ledge on the other side and they were falling down and away from it fast. But with another roar, Manju strained to reached out and used his huge long arm to reach out and dig his sharp nails into the bedrock of the cliff. By now, they were about sixteen feet down from the ledge, but Manju used his feet to steady himself and climb up to the other side.

After following a narrow path, they would finally reach their destination but now they had another problem to tackle. The palace was just beyond their reach but it was surrounded by a fiery pit of burning trees and fallen brush. The heat was intense to burn their faces if they even got within ten feet of the pyre. Putting Hayato down, Manju stood up on his back legs and made a gutteral howl to the sky. This wasn't his usual roar of power and intimidation, this was more like a monkey cry with meaning. It was as if he was making a call to someone or something. Just as he finished, Manju was soon sent slamming toward a patch of grass where another a great white ape that was easily as big as tall started to pounce and tumble with Manju.

They shouted in each other's faces fiercely and Manju was holding his own against this gargantuan albino ape but as Manju called for Hayato to move ahead without him, the white ape got in a clean shot to his face. With a pained cry, Manju was knocked down and his face was covered in thick gobs of bright red blood. The huge white ape was moving back, looking blooddrunk with malice and smirking toward Hayato as he waited.

"Hayato..." Manju's voice was husky as the great ape laid on his back. "I have fought long and hard...but now it will be up to you to finish this. I am not well enough to fight like this....but there is one final way I can assist you..." And with that, Manju's entire body started to glow in a golden aura and his eyes turned a right red. The amulet on Hayato's necklace would also do the same and soon Manju's huge foreboding frame began to shrink and slowly disappear until all that was left was a great golden staff.....

The white ape didn't approach but he started to snicker evily as he watched the whole thing, leaning forward on his front arms. "Heheehehehe....heeheheh! Foolish ape, it might assist you but it won't save this mortal from me..."
