Rayman Legends Adventures in Tarzan/Transcript

Lightning flashed, flames fell into the wavy ocean and a married couple was in a frantic attempt to escape their ship. Their ship had caught on fire and was causing chaos. A mini lifeboat was deployed as Alice and her baby were in it, while John tried getting the boat into the water to safety. As the mini boat landed in the ocean, John jumped out of the ship and swam to the mini boat. Alice was relieved upon seeing her husband and they were happy to see their baby alright. But something new awaited them, for they spotted land in the distance. As the burned up ship sank into the water, the couple went to the unknown land.
This land the couple was heading for was actually an unexplored jungle in Africa. This jungle was populated with gorillas and other exotic animals. Gorillas had thrived in this environment for years. This gorilla family was led by Kerchak, a giant silverback gorilla, and Kala, his wife. Together, they had a young adventurous baby. Kala and Kerchak loved having fun with their baby.
But what the gorillas were unaware of was that the jungle had visitors. The human couple had made it to the land and looked around and examined the scenery. As they walked, the baby spotted a large tree near a cliff. The parents thought this would work for a home. Using salvaged ship compartments and parts, they created a tree house. Now the parents were ready for a new life, but danger was not far away.
One evening, as the gorillas slept through the dark night, Kerchak and Kala's baby saw a frog jumping around the vegetation and chased after it. However, a predator was nearby. A vicious leopard named Sabor was nearby and stalking prey. She saw the young baby and moved closer to attack. Upon seeing the deadly leopard, the baby became terrified. The leopard roared, frightening the infant, but also catching Kerchak and Kala's attention. They tried rushing to their son's assistance, but it was no use. The murderous leopard snatched the baby and ran off. Kerchak and Kala were both devastated.
The following morning, Kala, yet brokenhearted from losing her baby, slowly trudged behind the gorilla troop. But as she walked very slowly, she suddenly heard a cry. She turned and ran to find out what it was. She ran past a few baboons while trying to look for the cry. She stopped upon seeing a tall tree with a house on the top of it. This was where the cry was coming from.
Kala reached the top of the tree and looked around. It was now silent, but also dark. This tree house was all messy and dirty. All sorts of facts were all over the floor. Kala looked and saw two bodies on the ground. Half of the bodies were behind a fallen table, but nearby were red footprints that looked like a big cat's. The red on these footprints looked like blood. Kala realized what just happened to these people and backed off. As Kala backed off, she stepped on a glass picture. This picture was a portrait of a family. Kala looked closely and saw mysterious creatures she had never seen before. They looked like gorillas except they weren't covered in fur all over. Suddenly, Kala heard another cry. This cry was coming from a basket nearby. Kala slowly approached the basket. They saw a blue blanket with something moving around in it. It was a baby. Kala was confused at what this was, but she recognized this creature.
Kala put her face close to the baby and sniffed him. The baby sneezed on the big gorilla, but became fascinated by her. Kala picked up the little guy by the foot and drew him close to look at. Kala looked all over the baby's body, even at one point sniffing his bottom. Kala agreed, but continued looking at the little baby. The baby was bubbling. The baby touched the gorilla's face. Kala was finding this little fact adorable. The baby looked at the big ape's hands. Kala liked how the baby's hands were very similar to her hands.
Kala put the baby in her arms like she was rocking the baby to sleep. She really liked this creature. Even though it reminded her in many fashions of her deceased infant, she thought that she could do it again. But as she looked over the little one, she heard a low growling sound. A tail was waving in front of her. Kala saw this tail and suddenly became hesitant. She looked up and saw something in the shadows.
The figure attacked Kala and snarled. It was Sabor. Sabor chased Kala around the tree house, not paying attention. Sabor pounced on Kala, sending her out of the tree house and onto a wooden platform, high above the ground. Sabor wasn't really after Kala. Instead, she was after the baby. She slashed at the gorilla, trying to strike the baby. She slapped Kala's face, making her incidentally lose the baby and drop him over the wooden platform. She gasped as Sabor noticed this. Sabor got off Kala and rushed to where the baby was dropped. Kala caught Sabor as she noticed the baby rolling down a net hanging underneath the wood. Sabor came out of Kala's grip, slashed her away and got on the net, looking for the baby. She saw the baby rolling down the net, with Sabor in pursuit. Kala saw the baby stop near a pole. But he was too far below her. Kala gasped as she tried desperately to catch the baby to save him.
Sabor jumped forward to finish off the baby, but only pounced on the net. The baby was sent upward and Kala managed to catch the baby's diaper. But Kala yet couldn't get the baby far from Sabor, because he was yet underneath the wooden floor. But Kala noticed a crack in the wood where she could use to slide the baby towards the edge of the platform and get him back to her safely and swiftly. After doing so, she cuddled with the baby. Sabor was yet on the attack. Kala saw the leopard literally tearing through the wood.
Kala had to think fast. She was cornered between the edge of the platform, several feet above the ground and a vicious leopard. She spotted a boat hanging from a rope as Sabor got herself free and attacked. Kala jumped onto the boat, with the baby in her hands. The boat was sent down to the ground. It stopped a few inches above the ground. But Sabor was left tangled in the ropes. Kala was relieved to see the baby alright, but she had to leave at once, before Sabor could attack again. Kala rushed away from the tree house and went across a bridge. Before leaving, she turned to the leopard and growled.
Meanwhile, in the jungle, the gorilla troop continued walking through the vegetation. Kerchak led the family across the bushes and leaves, as one of the gorilla babies spotted something. "Mum, look," she said, "look over there."
Kala appeared. The gorillas approached Kala, relieved that she was alright. "Kala is back," the gorillas said.
"Are you fine?"
"I'm fine, no, really, it's just that I got a little…baffled," said Kala as she showed her fellow gorillas the baby she found.
The gorillas gasped upon seeing the unknown creature. "Well…right, uh…well…"
"Well, it's just so…if…"
"It's weird, alright, that's what this is," said Terk, one of the baby gorillas.
"Terkina," scolded her mother.
"Well, that is," replied Terk, "I mean, what is this any matter?"
"It's a baby," replied Kala as she gave the baby to Terk.
"Woah, oh, you can't…" Terk said as the baby climbed on her.
But Terk started to take a liking to this fact. "Then where's his mum?"
"I'm going to be his mother now," replied Kala.
But while this happened, Kerchak approached the gorillas and saw for himself. He saw the baby, but nor the other gorillas, had ever seen before. "You know he's not that bad once you get used to him," Terk said before noticing the approaching Kerchak, "Kala's gonna be his mum now."
As Terk went back to her mother, Kerchak looked closely at the baby. Kerchak was a little disturbed at the sight because he wasn't a gorilla. "Kerchak, I saved him from Sabor," Kala explained.
Kerchak was reminded of the baby he and Kala lost a short time ago. "Kala, this won't replace the one we lost," he said.
"I know that," said Kala, "but he needs me."
Although his wife was happy with a new baby, Kerchak was not very satisfied. "But this…this…Kala, look at this," he said, "that's not our style."
But Kerchak was more doubtful about the baby. "No," he said to Kala, "you have to take him back."
Kala couldn't believe what her husband said. "Take him back? But he's going to die," she said.
"If the jungle wants him, then…"
"I want him," Kala replied seriously.
"Kala, I cannot let you put our family at risk," Kerchak said sternly.
"Does he sound dangerous to you," asked Kala.
Kerchak was getting steamed up by this argument. He roared as he pounded his chest like a gorilla on the attack. This intimidated a few of the gorillas as the baby cried. Kerchak looked at Kala's disappointed face. "Was this alone," he asked.
"Yes," replied Kala, "Sabor murdered his family."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes," replied Kala again, "there are no others."
Kerchak thought for a moment before reluctantly saying to Kala, "then you can keep him."
Kala was happy that Kerchak accepted the baby. "Kerchak, I know he'll be a good son," she said.
"I said he could stay," replied the stern Kerchak, "that doesn't make him my son."
Kala was disheartened by Kerchak. Although he was allowing her to keep the baby, he wasn't accepting him as a son. "We were going to rest here for the night," he said to the other gorillas before walking off with them.
Kala looked at the baby as Terk approached her and asked, "well, uh, whatcha gonna call him?"
"I'm going to call him......Tarzan," replied Kala.
"Tarzan," asked Terk, "alright, this is your baby."
"Alright, little lady, c'mon," said Terk's mother, "your nest time is over."
Terk complained about spending more time with the baby, but the mother wasn't in the mood for an argument. Kala put the little baby on her shoulder and was ready to walk off with the other gorillas as he suddenly slipped off and started crying. "Oh, oh, oh, hush…ne pas pleure," Kala comforted, "I'm here, c'mon…c'mon."
Kala: Come stop your crying
It'll be alright
Just take my hand
Hold it tight
I will protect you from all around you
I will be here, don't you cry
For one so small, you seem so strong
My arms will hold you, keep you safe and warm
This bond between us can't be broken
I will be here, don't you cry
Because you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on, now and forevermore
You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart
Always…always
As Kala sang this gentle song, she walked off in a separate direction with the little baby as evening fell. She took the baby to an area, a distance from the other gorillas. Bush babies, lemurs and butterflies saw the little baby as Kala tucked him in. The baby was amazed by all the sights around him, like the butterflies. Nearby, the rest of the gorillas were settling in for the night. Kerchak watched over them as they began sleeping. They kept their distance from Kerchak, but were willing to persuade him to accept Tarzan into the troop.
The following morning, the sun rose into the heavens, lighting up the jungle and making flowers open up and soak up some sunlight. Kala started awakening as she suddenly realized that Tarzan was missing. "Tarzan, Tarzan," she said as her fear increased.
But Tarzan, having grown a little bit, wasn't far at all. He sneaked behind Kala as he climbed up the vines and trumpeted like an elephant. This surprised Kala, but she was relieved to see her adopted son. "I sure frightened you, Mum," said Tarzan.
Kala chuckled a little as she said, "you certainly did so. Can't you imitate silent animals?"
"Ah, Mum, that's no fun," replied her energetic son, "do you want me to be a leopard?"
Kala giggled before saying, "why don't you come with your own sound?"
Tarzan ran off, trying to make his own sound. Kala watched as his son ran off to have fun. Tarzan tried making his own sound by yelling and screeching, but his sounds got the baby gorillas near him go crazy and try imitating him. "KALA," the irritated mothers said.
But as Tarzan ran across the trees, he incidentally bumped into Kerchak, who wasn't happy to see him. "Oops," Tarzan said upon seeing Kerchak's grumpy expression.
Tarzan slowly backed away until Terk, also grown a little, appeared and said, "TARZAN!! Thank heaven you're safe. Kala and I were so concerned. Thank you, thank you so much for finding him. Kerchak, you are such a wise and caring leader."
Kerchak sighed as Terk hugged Tarzan. "Run," Terk said silently to Tarzan before fleeing.
Tarzan picked himself up and followed Terk as she fled. Terk stopped behind a tree and caught Tarzan as he ran. "Hello? Do you have a big head?"
"What," asked Tarzan.
"How many times do I must warn you? If you want Kerchak to love you, stay away from him."
Two other young gorillas, Flynt and Mungo appeared and said to their friend, Terk. "Hey, you! C'mon, Terk, step on it," called Flynt.
"The last one is a scarab," said Mungo.
"Yes, and the first one has to eat it," Terk said before running to catch up with them.
"Terk, can I come," asked Taran, who wanted to join in the fun.
"Well, yes, you could if you keep moving, but…you know…you can't really keep up," Terk replied before turning to catch up with her friends, "hey, you, guys. Please, wait! Right behind you!"
Tarzan looked at his friends. Now he was determined to catch up with Terk and the others.
High above a lake, where herds of elephants were drinking and enjoying themselves, Flynt and Mungo were having fun together near a cliff. "Take that! Stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself," said Flynt as he playfully used his companion's hand to hit himself.
Suddenly, Terk appeared. "The fun has come home," she sang, "thank you very much."
"Hey, what took you so long?"
"I had a small pest control problem, but everything was solved," replied Terk.
Tarzan suddenly appeared behind her and incidentally bonked her forward. "Hi, guys," said Tarzan.
The gorilla boys weren't very happy to see Tarzan. "Terk, what is this? Some kind of joke," Flynt said.
"Warn me that I'm not looking at the wonder without hair," complained Mungo.
"Well, Terk said if I could go if I could keep up," replied Tarzan.
Terk suddenly became embarrassed as the ape boys complained to her about Tarzan being there. "I'll handle this, guys, it's fine," she said before turning to Tarzan, "listen, my friend, come here. We have a little problem here, alright? Personally, I'd love to hang out with you know what would do, but the boys…need some conviction, you know?"
"Very well, what do I have to do," asked Tarzan.
"Do…what do you have to do......oh, it's so stupid...."
"What?"
"Well, you have to…uh, to have to go pick a hair," replied Terk.
"One hair," asked Tarzan.
"Yes, a hair, uh-huh," Terk said before hearing an elephant trumpet from below, "an elephant hair."
Down below, there were huge elephants interacting with each other. Some of the elephants were wrestling with each other and trumpeting frustratedly. This was a clear indication that this was very dangerous. "An elephant hair," asked Tarzan hesitantly.
"As I was saying, it's stupid, right," replied Terk before turning to Tarzan, "listen, take it away. Go home, Tom. Who needs this discomfort? You know, I'll probably leave soon. I'll catch up in agreement."
With that said, Tarzan left the scene. But Terk didn't follow him. "You see, leave it to me," Terk said to the ape boys, "I warned you…"
But before Terk could finish, Tarzan suddenly zipped right past them and ran towards the cliff. "TARZAN, NO," cried Terk.
But Tarzan had already jumped off the cliff and was falling high above the water surface. The ape boys grinned, but Terk was concerned sick. It was a really long drop, but Tarzan wasn't afraid and he just continued his brave yell. After falling from such a great height, Tarzan splashed really hard into the water. The ape boys and Terk moaned, just from watching Tarzan land in that water really hard. "Ooh, I would've hurt him," said Mungo.
Underwater, Tarzan sank deeper and deeper into the water, until he eventually landed on a hippo's snout. The hippo was chewing on underwater grass as he spotted Tarzan. Tarzan was afraid and swam backwards, away from the big animal. But the hippo didn't attack Tarzan. Instead, he just walked along the ground and swam off. Tarzan realized that he could swim as well and swam to the surface where Terk, Flynt and Mungo spotted him. "Look, there he is, He's alive," Terk said happily.
"Hi, guys," Tarzan called.
"Hello," replied the ape boys.
Terk waved hesitantly before seeing Tarzan swim off. "Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear, COME BACK," Terk begged, "COME BACK!!"
"Hey, this guy's great," said Flynt, "if he lives, you should bring him more often."
"C'mon, c'mon, let's go get a better seat," said Mungo.
Terk was not happy upon realizing what she had gotten her friend into.
Meanwhile, near the elephant herd, Tarzan was advancing towards the elephant herd. One elephant calf, Tantor, was near the edge of the water and expressing concern about going in it. "Mum," he called, "are you sure this water's sanitary? It seems questionable to me."
"It's alright, darling," replied the mother.
Tantor stepped into the water, but was yet unsure. "But what about the bacteria," Tantor asked.
"Tantor, can't you see mum's speaking?"
Tantor was a little bummed that his mother wasn't paying much attention to him. But as Tantor stood, he spotted something approaching the elephants from underwater. Tantor gasped, ran to the elephants and cried, "watch out! There's something swimming! It's coming over you!"
"Darling, Mum is losing patience," replied the oblivious mother.
"But this time, I really see something," Tantor said.
"Oh, boy."
Tarzan eventually appeared above water level, behind one of the elephants. Tantor saw him and panicked more. "PIRANHA!! IT'S A PIRANHA," Tantor cried as he held onto his mother's leg.
"Darling, there are no piranhas in Africa," the mother said.
"Don't warn the child that," said one of the elephants, "of course, there are piranhas in Africa."
"No, she's right," replied another elephant, "they're native to South America."
As the elephants chatted amongst themselves, Tarzan tried catching a hair from one of the elephant's tails. He even tried biting onto the tail. Tantor saw Tarzan and panicked again. "Ah, IT'S RIGHT BEHIND YOU," he cried, "RUN!!"
"For the last time, darling," the mother said sternly, "there are NO piranhas in…"
"MY ASS," one of the elephants suddenly cried.
The elephant began running around in a panic. "I warned you," Tantor said.
"THERE'S SOMETHING IN MY ASS!!"
"What is this?"
"Are there more of them?"
Tarzan had eventually managed to catch the elephant's tail, which in turn caused the elephant to freak out. The elephant that Tarzan was holding onto continued panicking until eventually, Tarzan let go and was sent flying into the air. "WHAT IS THIS?!"
"IT'S A PIRANHA," Tantor cried upon seeing Tarzan.
The elephants gathered in a circle and examined the water. They were confused. Tarzan landed in the water in the center of the circle. As the elephants turned to see, Tarzan appeared, taking a big breath of air. The elephants were suddenly frightened upon seeing his teeth. "PIRANHA," they cried.
A big frenzy erupted in the lake. The elephants were panicking and running around, trying to avoid what they thought was a piranha. Tarzan saw elephants running all over the place. He swam to avoid getting squashed by their giant feet. But as he took in air, one elephant splashed too close to him and he spun rapidly underwater. On land, Terk, Flynt and Mungo watched the horror of the elephant frenzy. "He's dead," said Flynt.
But to their bigger horror, the elephants came out of the water and were stampeding right towards them. "WE'RE DEAD," the ape boys cried together before fleeing for their lives.
The elephants stampeded towards the gorillas. Terk picked up a vine and caught onto a high branch, narrowly avoiding the giant elephants. Inside the jungle, the gorillas were peacefully minding their own business but suddenly, the ape boys came running frantically. "AH, WE DIDN'T DO IT," the ape boys cried, "WE'RE THE ONES!!"
The entire gorilla troop heard loud trumpets and felt the ground shaking. The elephants suddenly burst through the trees and rampaged, destroying the termite mounds. The gorillas, taken by complete surprise, ran for their lives. Kerchak managed to dodge one of the elephants, but noticed that one of the young gorillas was trapped in the stampede. Kerchak swiftly sprang into action. He ran right into the stampede, caught the baby gorilla and took cover, away from the rampaging elephants. The elephants ran past the gorillas and continued their panicked rush deeper into the jungle. The gorillas were relieved that it was over. With that said, Kerchak returned the baby gorilla to its mother. "Oh, thanks, Kerchak," the mother said.
But while happy to help, Kerchak was more frustrated than loyal. He had a feeling on who was responsible for this stampede.
Back at the lake, Terk managed to get an unconscious Tarzan out of the lake and put him down on the ground. "Tarzan, my friend, c'mon, don't die," Terk begged, "don't die on me, you weren't supposed to do this."
Terk was suddenly pulled back by Tantor. "Get away from that," Tantor said, "don't you know that a piranha can strip you of meat in seconds?"
"WHAT," exclaimed Terk, "he's not a piranha. He's…"
But before Terk could finish, she heard Tarzan coughing out water. "He's alive," Terk exclaimed happily, "HE'S ALIVE, HE'S ALIVE!!"
"He's alive," cheered Tantor.
Terk's mood suddenly changed from happiness to crankiness. "YOU IDIOT," Terk exclaimed, "you almost gave me a heart attack. YOU HAPPY?!"
"Uh-huh," replied Tarzan as he showed his friend the elephant hair.
Terk was fascinated that he pulled the attempt to get an elephant hair with success. "You…I don't think so," said Terk, "do you have hair?"
"Is that what this is all about," asked Tantor, "I have an entire tail of them."
"Tarzan."
"Terkina."
"Oh, dear," Tarzan and Terk said.
The gorilla family approached the lake, all in concern over the stampede. "Who's that," asked Tantor.
"My mum," Tarzan and Terk replied.
"Tarzan," Kala said with concern.
"Hello."
"Hello, Aunt Kala," Terk said.
"Oh, you frightened me," Kala said to Tarzan, "what just happened?"
"Well…I…"
Terk swiftly jumped into the conversation, trying to defend Tarzan. "Um, it's something long, it's involved, because of what just happened, it was strange...."
"WHAT JUST HAPPENED," demanded a frustrated Kerchak.
Although Terk was willing to step to his defense, Tarzan knew that he had to confess, even if he was up against the frustrated leader of the troop. "It was my fault, Kerchak," he said.
"Tarzan?"
"We were playing and.....well…I'm…I'm sorry, Kerchak," Tarzan apologized.
"You almost MURDERED SOMEONE," Kerchak scolded harshly.
"But it was an incident," Tarzan said hesitantly.
"He's just a boy," said Kala.
"That's no excuse, Kala, you can't keep defending him," replied a furious Kerchak.
"But he'll learn," said Kala.
"He will never learn," said Kerchak frustratedly, "you can't learn to be one of us."
"That's because you never give him a chance," replied Kala.
"GIVE HIM AN OPPORTUNITY?! KALA, LOOK AT HIM!! HE WILL NEVER BE ONE OF US," Kerchak said harshly, hurting Tarzan's feelings.
"KERCHAK," Kala said furiously.
Tarzan, emotionally hurt from Kerchak's discouraging and frustrated words, ran off in despair and frustration. "Tarzan," Kala said.
But Tarzan didn't reply. He was way too upset. Kala sighed as she watched the mournful boy.
Later in the evening, near a small waterhole, Tarzan stood near the edge, looking at his reflection. He knew that he was different from the gorillas appearance-wise, but he didn't know why. His frustration grew again, where he splashed rapidly in the water in stress. After pausing for a bit, he saw that he had mud over one of his eyes. He got stressed again and splashed himself with mud. After covering his face with it, he stopped. He noticed another reflection in the water. That wasn't one of his new face, it was one of Kala. Kala was behind him. "Tarzan, what are you doing here," she asked.
"Why am I so smart," asked Tarzan.
"Because you're covered in mud, that's what," replied Kala as she approached her stressed out son.
"No, Kerchak said I don't belong to…"
"Close your mouth," Kala said as she cleaned Tarzan's face.
"Kerchak said I didn't belong in the family," Tarzan concluded.
"It doesn't matter what Kerchak said," replied Kala as she tried cleaning her fidgety son, "please stay silent."
"But LOOK AT ME," Tarzan cried.
Kala started understanding Tarzan's pain and said, "I am Tarzan. And do you know what I see? I see two eyes, like mine…and your nose, someplace…ah, here. Two ears and…"
Tarzan was starting to feel better. "…let's see, what else," Kala said.
"Two hands," suggested Tarzan.
"That's right," replied Kala as she and Tarzan put their hands together.
Tarzan looked at the hands. Kala's were much bigger than his, but they had the same facts; fingers, thumbs and palms. This was proof that they weren't 100% different. But Tarzan yet didn't feel content. Then Kala said, "close your eyes. Now forget what you see. What do you feel?"
Tarzan closed his eyes and felt his heartbeat. "My heart," he replied.
"Come here," said Kala as she cuddled him.
"Your heart," replied Tarzan.
"Look, they're exactly the same," said Kala as she hugged the boy, "Kerchak just can't see that."
Tarzan didn't like being reminded of Kerchak, but felt that he could make a difference, since he realized that he did have some facts in common with the gorillas. He suddenly felt encouraged again. "I'll make him see it," he said, "I'll be the best ape of all."
"Oh, I bet you will."
With a lot of determination, and encouraging support from Kala, Tarzan began his mission to become what he said would be "the best ape ever." He yet continued living with the gorilla troop and did many facts his allies were doing. But Kerchak was not happy about Tarzan yet trying to fit in, and gave him nothing more than a grumpy look. Even Terk wasn't going to let discouragement get the best of Tarzan.
As time went on, Tarzan got to interact with the other jungle animals and imitate them, like chameleons, hippos, rhinos and colobus monkeys. But this mission was not without encounters with dangers. He dealt with animals like snakes and crocodiles. But he managed to avoid all damage with them and continued his mission. Tarzan did facts like spearing through fruit with a handmade weapon, lassoing a marabou stork and jumping on the elephant's backs to frighten birds. Kala also watched his son from time to time and he was proud that he was getting somewhere with his progress. Terk and Tantor were also alongside him as he kept working on his task.
This task even continued into adulthood. Tarzan, now muscular, continued his long quest to be what he would declare himself someday. He helped others out, like helping how adult Tantor keeping his trunk above water in a deep lake filled with hippos, sheltering Kala from rain and helping the gorillas get a lot of termites by having Tantor trumpet into their mounds. By now, Tarzan was also capable of fighting predators, like snakes. Tarzan could also swing on vines with ease and swing down long tree branches like a surfer or snow boarder. Terk, now also an adult, was getting impresed by his abilities. But Kerchak stayed gruff and reluctant to accept Tarzan into the troop.
Back in the jungle, the gorilla troop was enjoying their afternoon lunch in the peaceful jungle environment. Tarzan hid in the nearby vegetation as he slowly approached Kala, who was enjoying the mangos and fruit. He sneaked silently behind her, like he was about to surprise her. But before Tarzan could do anything, Kala said, "don't even think about it."
Tarzan's chances of surprise were down, but he swung himself around to meet his mother face-to-face. "How do you know it was me," he asked.
"I'm your mother, I know everything," replied Kala, "now where've you been?"
"I thought you knew everything," replied Tarzan with humor.
Suddenly, Tarzan was tackled by Terk. As they tussled, Terk said, "hey, Aunt K. You're looking extremely carried today."
"Hello, Terk," replied a silent Kala.
Tarzan tussled with Terk again and they wrestled as Kerchak walked by. Kerchak was not pleased to see Tarzan yet in the troop. Tarzan and Terk were yet wrestling near the other gorillas until incidentally bumping into Tantor. "Woah, alright," Tantor said noticing the playful brawl, "it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye."
Tarzan and Terk didn't pay attention to the worrisome elephant. "Someone's going to get hurt here, and it's always me," Tantor said.
"Jump, crap in the calf," said Terk as the wrestling continued before Tarzan immobilized her, "ok, that's it, you win."
Tarzan enjoyed having fun with his friend, but he spotted something in the nearby bushes. "Ow, ow, alright, you win. Hello? Yes, yes, let go," Terk begged.
Tarzan let her go. "Oh, I'm sorry, Terk," he said.
"What kind of animal are you," asked Terk.
"You know, I've been thinking lately that perhaps Tarzan might be some elephant subspecies," Tantor said.
"What a madman, an elephant," said Terk.
"Listen to me," replied Tantor, "think about it. He enjoys a peanut, I enjoy a peanut."
"He doesn't look anything like you," replied Terk.
Suddenly, something lunged out of the bushes and attacked the friends. IT WAS SABOR. Everyone was taken by surprise. The gorillas were frightened, but had to take cover immediately. They swiftly fled up the trees, away from the vicious leopard. Sabor had her sights on Tarzan. Tarzan climbed the tree as fast as he could, with Sabor close behind. But before Sabor could reach him, she was suddenly pulled back. Kerchak threw her away from the tree and roared. Kerchak was ready to engage into the battle with the predator to defend his troop. Tantor hid in the bushes as the gorillas advanced higher in the trees. Sabor slashed and snarled at the frustrated Kerchak as they attacked each other with ferocity. But while Kerchak had the strength and muscle power, Sabor had agility and speed. She was very fast. She got on Kerchak's back and tore at his body. Kerchak managed to get the leopard off him, but was weak from the attack. Tarzan realized that Kerchak was in danger.
As Kerchak shivered, Sabor slowly walked around him, ready to pounce. But as Sabor charged towards Kerchak, Tarzan swung down his tree and kicked the leopard off. He had a spear at his disposal, ready for a showdown. The gorillas shrieked and chattered, cheering for their hero. Kala was very concerned though. Her son was up against a very dangerous opponent.
Sabor charged at Tarzan, but Tarzan dodged her attack. But before Sabor could pounce again, Tarzan advanced further up the tree. Sabor continued chasing him up the tree, trying to reach him, but Tarzan was fast. Using a vine, he got to another part of the tree and stood silently. Sabor appeared above him, ready to pounce. But Tarzan slashed Sabor away from him with the spear. This gave Sabor a cut on her left front leg. Sabor snarled at her adversary, while Tarzan did the same. Tarzan got off the tree and eyed Sabor in the eye. Sabor attacked Tarzan again. But before Tarzan could fight back again, Sabor slashed at his chest, giving him some big scratches. The gorillas started concerning about their hero. Sabor pounced, but Tarzan used his spear as defense. Now the spear was the only fact in between Sabor and Tarzan. But to Tarzan's horror, the sharp tip of the spear plummeted into a flimsy, above a pit. Tarzan managed to get the leopard off him, but now was in serious danger. The spear was missing its lethal opponent. Sabor attacked Tarzan again, now realizing that he was at disadvantage. Tarzan had to think fast. He jumped into the nearby tree and jumped into a pile of roots. Sabor tried reaching him, yet Tarzan was barely able to dodge her sharp claws. Tarzan saw that the tip of the spear was yet intact, but he needed to get to it. But with Sabor constantly attacking him, it would be no easy task. But Tarzan came up with a plan. He caught a rock and hit Sabor's slashing paw. Sabor snarled in pain, while Tarzan came out of his hiding spot and rushed into the flimsy. But Sabor got herself out and chased after her enemy again. Just as Tarzan caught the spear tip, Sabor pounced on him and they both went into the pit.
It suddenly became silent. The gorillas looked into the dark pit, waiting for the victory to come out. Kala, Terk and Tantor were all very concerned about Tarzan. But no one saw who murdered who. As everyone waited hesitantly, something started coming out of the pit. Sabor was coming out of the pit. Everyone started concerning. Did Sabor win this fight? But as it seemed that Sabor won the battle, Tarzan appeared as well. But Tarzan was breathing heavily and the one who was pulling Sabor out of the hole. After getting out, he plopped Sabor onto the ground. To everyone's shock, Sabor was murdered by Tarzan. The gorillas cheered as Tarzan looked at them. He was surprised that they were cheering for him for murdering their enemy. Then Tarzan took Sabor's dead body, lifted it into the heavens and delivered his loud Tarzan yell. Everyone cheered for their hero as they approached him. The gorillas and Tantor surrounded Tarzan, all proud of his accomplishment.
"Okay, that's it, everybody, your best friend is coming. That would be me," Terk said as she came past the other gorillas, "and you, don't do that, alright? There are other fashions to get attention, you know?"
"I'll try to remember it," replied Tarzan.
"Alright, and I was right behind you…"
But as Terk blabbered on to herself, Tarzan looked up and noticed Kerchak. Tarzan was unsure what his gorilla leader would think of him now. Kerchak turned and walked off, before stopping to notice Tarzan approaching him with Sabor's body. After looking at the dead leopard's corpse, Kerchak looked at Tarzan. Although he rejected him throughout these years of tolerating him, Kerchak was surprised that he murdered the predator that almost ate him. Kerchak started thinking that perhaps he could accept him at last.
Kerchak looked at Tarzan. He was speechless at him. All this time, he held a big grudge against him for being different for his gorilla family, but now had no idea what to think. He assisted Tarzan in fighting Sabor. Had it not been for them, Kerchak would've been hurt. But before he could say something to him, a loud noise echoed across the jungles. This sound caught everyone's attention. While some of the gorillas were confused, Kerchak realized that something was not right. "What was that," asked Tarzan.
"Aye, it wasn't me, I swear," said Tantor, "well, perhaps it was...."
"Everyone, let's move on," said Kerchak, who didn't want anything to do with this mysterious fact.
All the gorillas and Tantor headed for one direction, away from the sound. The sound roared again through the forest, making some of the gorillas hesitant. But Tarzan, driven by curiosity, headed the separate direction to check out the noise.
Tarzan jumped from tree to tree, in search of the sound. Now it all seemed silent, but Tarzan noticed that some of the bamboo trees were cut down and there were odd footprints. But among these footprints was a small thin item made of gold. It looked strange. Tarzan picked it up and examined it. He sniffed it until licking it, before realizing that it wasn't a good idea. Another loud noise roared across the forest, catching Tarzan's attention. He came into a tree as he heard someone speaking. He looked down and saw something moving across the trees down below. What was this and what was that doing? Tarzan jumped across more and more trees and vines before hiding in the flora. There, he spotted something slashing through the bamboo while chattering, "…I knew I was born for Africa, and Africa was created for…"
The fact stopped speaking upon seeing something. Suddenly, another loud noise burst, hitting a tree near Tarzan, but missing him. Tarzan hid in another bush as the fact slashed through the bamboo and pointed something at the flora. This creature was odd. He looked like a gorilla, except he was bipedal and he didn't have fur all over his body. He was also pointing a long weapon towards the vegetation. The loud noise was coming from a rifle gun. But Tarzan was in awe of these creatures. He had never seen one before. "Clayton," said another voice.
Another one of these facts came out of the forest. He had a big gray mustache and was shorter than the man with the rifle. "Clayton, oh, there he is, what is this? What is this? Are we in danger?"
"I thought I saw something," replied Clayton, the gun man.
"An amphibian hippopotamus," suggested Archimedes Q. Porter, the shorter man, "or a bihornus rhino…"
"Professor, don't move," Clayton ordered.
"Oh, right," replied Porter as he froze up and he gagged it hard.
But there was another person coming their road. "Daddy?"
Another one of these creatures was coming out of the forest and into the clearing. This was Jane Porter, Archimedes' daughter. "Daddy, what's all the confusion about?"
Jane was sent back into the bamboo forest due to the strength of the trees she was attempting to get through. Tarzan was amazed by this. After eventually getting herself free, she turned to her father and said, "what is this, Daddy?"
"Csendes, Mr. Clayton warned me not to move," Porter whispered, "he saw something."
As Jane went to Clayton, Porter lost his balance and fell to the floor. "Oh, I moved out."
"Uh, Mr. Clayton, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but my dad and I came on this expedition to study gorillas," Jane explained as Clayton examined the flora for what he saw in front of him, "and I think your shooting may be frightening them."
"You hired me to protect you, Ms. Porter, and I'll protect you, I must," replied Clayton.
"And you're doing a wonderful job, but we have little time before the ship returns, and you see…"
But before Jane could finish, Archimedes suddenly became shocked. "Jane," he exclaimed, "Jane, don't you see what you're in for? A bird's nest."
Jane realized that he was right and became shocked as well. "Eventually," said Clayton, "our first sign in days, but do you think the animals could be around?"
"It may be," replied Porter, "there's evidence not far away."
As the three humans examined the ground, Tarzan took this time to watch them. He was curious of these facts. Jane suddenly became shocked again. "Oh, Daddy, look," she said, "over there and there and......"
"Yes, oh, yes," replied Porter, who also became shocked.
"As you predicted," said Jane.
"FAMILY GROUPS," they said together.
"Oh, Jane, I love you very much," Porter said as he happily hugged his daughter.
Tarzan liked that these creatures were very social, like the gorillas. As for Clayton, however, while laughing about this, he had another thought. "Family groups," he said, "excuse me, but these are wild animals that soon take your head off what they look at."
"On the contrary, Mr. Clayton," replied Jane, "Dad's theory is that these are social creatures…"
But before Jane could conclude, Clayton suddenly lifted his rifle into the air and fired two shots into the air, alarming Jane and Porter. Tarzan wasn't hit by these shots, but was alarmed by this as well. He yet wasn't spotted, but Jane said, "Mr. Clayton, please. What is this, a gorilla?"
"It's not a gorilla," replied Clayton.
Jane and Porter looked around, hoping that any gorillas weren't frightened away. "Perhaps we should continue," Clayton suggested.
"Yes, indeed," replied Porter, who got to his feet, "now we must continue going west, following the Civil War."
As Porter and Clayton walked on, Jane followed slowly behind, hoping that they'd find gorillas sooner or later. But before she could catch up with her allies, something fell on her head. It was a papaya. A little baby baboon came down from the tree and feasted on it. "Are you sure what this mess is all about," she asked, "Daddy, Daddy, run. No, wait, be silent."
She took out her sketchbook and started drawing a picture of the baby baboon. Tarzan watched from above as she did this. "You may not be a gorilla, but you are a little sweet…"
But as she finished, she saw only the eaten papaya. The baby baboon appeared over Jane's shoulder. "There you go, what do you think," asked Jane.
The little primate looked at the picture. It was very impressive. He really liked this picture, that he snatched the sketchbook and ran off. Pieces of paper were flying out as he ran off. Jane got frustrated as a result. "Why, you little one," she complained, "well, this is absolutely a peach. Come study gorillas and I get my sketchbook held by a baboon."
As the stressed Jane gathered her paper, Tarzan took one piece behind Jane and took a look at it. What was this and what else were these creatures bringing? The baby baboon scrolled through the pages before seeing the picture of him. As he looked at himself, Jane appeared and said, "give it to me."
But the baby didn't will to give up the picture he really loved. "Oh, c'mon, enough of that. I want this article with three. One…two…" Jane said before getting emotional, "OH, LOOK, MCDONALD'S!!"
The baby turned, but there was nothing. With that said, Jane snatched the paper. It was a plan to distract the primate where she could get her picture. "I can't believe you fell in love with this one," she said.
But in response, the baby primate started crying. "No, don't give me these crocodile tears," replied Jane, "what would your parents have to say?"
Suddenly, something growled behind Jane, giving her a fright. Behind her were a lot more baboons, but these were adults and they weren't happy. They growled at Jane as she backed off hesitantly. "Oh, look, I warned them that they'd be frustrated. Go easy on him, kids will be kids," Jane begged hesitantly before tripping.
But the baboons had their eyes on her. They all jumped out of the trees and chased after the panicking Jane. Jane ran as fast as she could, trying to get away. Tarzan noticed her and got on a swinging vine. Jane kept fleeing until she came to a cliff. There was only one choice; jump. Upon reaching the edge, she made the jump for it. But as it seemed that she would plummet, she realized that she was flying in midair. "I'm flying," she said to herself, "what the hell am I....."
As she thought, she spotted something carrying her. It was a man in a loincloth swinging on a vine. Jane shrieked upon noticing him before realizing that a baboon was biting on her boot. She smacked the baboon with her umbrella before the primate let go. He was plummeting, but took Jane's boot with her. Tarzan swung on his vine and landed on a big tree branch, catching Jane, who was now terrified, but also shocked. "Put me on the ground, put me on the ground," she said, before noticing the approaching baboons and frantically yelling, "PICK ME UP, PICK ME UP, PICK ME UP!!"
Another chase was on. Tarzan picked up Jane and swung down the branches, avoiding the baboons as best he could. Jane was in for a wild ride. After swinging on the twisted branches and carrying Jane with him, Tarzan suddenly saw the baboons up ahead and they were on the attack. With that said, Jane got behind Tarzan, opened her umbrella and shielded herself, as well as Tarzan, from the attacking the baboons. As none were left in her road, Jane chuckled. But as it seemed like it would be smooth sailing, another baboon appeared and lunged himself onto Jane. Jane attempted to get the attacking primate off her, while incidentally kicking Tarzan's chin. She managed to get the baboon off her, but her umbrella was caught on a vine. She was sent swinging on that vine, with the baboons advancing to attack. Tarzan rolled his eyes, realizing that he had to go back to get her back. The baboons piled over the panicking Jane and they were all sent plummeting down. But Tarzan appeared, catching her foot. They were all swinging across the tree and the baboons were hanging onto Jane's umbrella. They all noticed a big branch up ahead. They all smashed into the branch, while Tarzan jumped off the vine and landed on a weakened branch. As he caught Jane, his legs split as the branch began cracking. Tarzan moans as Jane shouts, "OUTSIDE!!"
The baboons kept coming for them. Tarzan dove into the branch, and slid down it. But this branch was really high above the ground and it was breaking hard. Eventually, Tarzan, Jane and the baboons started falling from a great height. As Jane shrieked frighteningly, Tarzan caught two nearby vines and tried stopping their fall. It was really difficult since they were going really fast and it was wounding Tarzan's hand. Eventually, they stopped falling and were sent upward. They landed on a branch, but had to move fast. The branch was falling and almost hit them. Tarzan shielded Jane from the falling branch as it landed on the ground. The baboons landed on the ground as well, but weren't hurt. The leader of the baboon troop was slowly descending to the ground with the baby baboon. He chattered to Tarzan as they slowly approached the ground. From Jane's perspective, Tarzan was chattering back to the baboons. She was unsure what to think and was very hesitant. Tarzan turned to Jane, took the baby baboon's picture and gave it to the troop leader, who then gave it to the baby baboon. As the two primates slowly and gently descended to the ground, Tarzan turned to Jane, who was slowly trying to get away.
"I'm in a tree with a man who speaks to monkeys," she said to herself as she tried maneuvering herself to another tree, "oh, I can't do that, I can't…"
Jane managed to get one of her feet onto a nearby tree. "Ooh, this is good, this is very good," before getting both of her feet onto the tree, though her hands were yet holding onto the other one, "one…two…"
She tried flinging herself onto the next tree, but it was no use. "That can't get any worse, this can," she said.
And just like a jynx, it got worse. It was pouring rain and there was a chill in the air. "Obviously you can," Jane said dryly.
Jane sighed, but as she looked down, she noticed Tarzan looking at her. Jane shrieked and tried flinging herself onto the tree again, but as it seemed she wouldn't make it, Tarzan gently nudged her onto the branch. With that said, Jane backed off from the approaching man. "Get away, no, don't come any closer, please don't," Jane begged as Tarzan approached her and looked at her barefoot, "what are you doing here?"
Tarzan was looking at her toes. This was tickling Jane. "Oh, dear, please don't, it tickles, no, get out, get out, get, GET LOST," she said before kicking Tarzan off.
But Tarzan approached Jane again. "That's right," replied Jane, "now you stay away from me, like a very good wild man. You stay…I'm warning you, my dad won't like…no, now…that's quite enough. How dare you…"
But before Jane could slap Tarzan, Tarzan took her hand. Tarzan suddenly realized something. He took Jane's glove off and put his hand with hers. She had five fingers like he did so. Tarzan remembered something Kala showed him if he was young. Tarzan was fascinated that her hands were very similar to his. But Tarzan remembered another fact Kala showed him. Tarzan slowly put his head near Jane's chest. He heard a heartbeat. The five fingered hands and heartbeat were what Kala used to help calm Tarzan down at an early age. Jane wasn't sure where Tarzan was going with this. Then Tarzan put Jane's head near his chest. "Oh, dear…oh, Rocko," Jane said before realizing that nothing was wrong, "yes, that's a lovely heartbeat. It's really good."
Tarzan, realizing that this person was very similar to him, imitated her. "It's very good."
"Oh, thanks, I can't do anything with that moisture through it," Jane said before realizing that Tarzan spoke to her, "did you? All this time I thought you were a big, wild, silent person, fact. For that, you didn't warn me? I mean, I must look a little curious, I mean I'd love to...."
Tarzan put his fingers over Jane's mouth, silencing her. Then he put his knuckles on his chest and said, "Tarzan."
Jane was yet confused. "Tarzan," Tarzan said again.
"Tarzan," repeated Jane.
Tarzan approved. Jane realized that Tarzan was trying to introduce himself. "Oh, I see," said Jane.
"Oh, I have it," imitated Tarzan, "Jane, oh, I got it."
"Oh, dear, oh, dear…I'm Jane," replied Jane.
"Oh, dear, oh, dear…I'm Jane," imitated Tarzan.
"No, no," replied Jane, trying to get it right, "Jane…Tarzan…Jane."
Tarzan eventually understood Jane's real name. "Jane."
"Exactly."
Suddenly, another rifle shot roared across the jungle while looking up into the blue heavens that had cleared of rain. "Clayton," Jane exclaimed.
Tarzan got to the branch's edge and heard another gunshot. "Clayton," he said.
"Extraordinary," replied an impressed Jane, "well, please, can you take me to my camp?"
Tarzan let out a loud, anguished shriek in response. "Yes, Clayton, wonderful," said Jane.
Tarzan put his arm around Jane as he got ready to swing again. Jane was getting hesitant. "Um…CAN'T WE WALK," asked Jane as Tarzan took her on another swing.
"CAN'T WE WALK," imitated Tarzan.
Meanwhile, in another part of the jungle, Tantor and some of their gorilla friends as they searched the jungle for Tarzan. "TARZAN," called Tantor.
"Tarzan! Where are you? Tarzan," the other gorillas called.
"Let's hope we find him in front of Kerchak," said Mungo.
"Perhaps he's lost," suggested Flynt.
"Or find something more interesting," added Mungo.
"What are you, nuts? What could be more interesting than we do," replied Terk as they came out of the vegetation and into a clearing.
Everyone spotted something in the clearing that made them all gasp in shock. Spike came himself out and asked, "why is everyone looking at me?"
But Tantor saw for himself. They spotted items and facts that were unfamiliar to them. Tantor started getting more panicky and frightened upon seeing facts like a clock, a tent and teacups. This was a mysterious campsite. His anxiety and lamenting increased more and more. "THE TERROR," cried Tantor before ducking and attempting to cover himself with dirt, "it's cruel, hide me."
"Pull yourself together, you're embarrassing me," said an annoyed Terk, "these facts don't live."
The gorillas laughed at Tantor's misfortune as he calmed down. "Oh, I know that," he said.
Everyone proceeded into the campsite. "Tarzan," called Terk.
"Tarzan? Tarzan! Tarzan," the other gorillas called.
"Hello," Tantor called hesitantly.
Terk took this opportunity to look at the gizmos and items this campsite had. "What primitive animals are responsible for this mess," she asked before seeing a typewriter.
Terk took a close look at it before touching one of the things. Terk backed off swiftly, but nothing serious happened at first. She wasn't hurt, and instead, she was more curious and fascinated. She typed again and said, "wow, come here, people, come here, come here, come here, look at this."
Two other gorillas looked at the typewriter and were also curious. Terk typed a few more things before hearing a bell ding. The gorillas found this really cool. Terk typed again, but after the bell ding, they heard a plate smash. Terk heard something interesting coming from this. "Hey," she said before resetting the typewriter, "do it again, do it again."
Terk typed the typewriter again as Mungo said, "well," before smashing another plate.
But after the smash, they all heard a tear. It was coming from a book. This added more to the rhythm Terk kept hearing. "Yes," she said.
Terk typed again and Mungo smashed another plate. "Yes, tear it," Terk said as a gorilla tore another page.
Terk was starting to have fun with the typewriter. "Hahahaha, DING, I love that part," she said as she played with the writer.
The other gorillas started smashing and breaking apart to the music. "Let me hear it, big guy," Terk said to a fellow gorilla.
Now the rhythm was starting to build up as the gorillas kept exploring, using and destroying the objects. "Now hit it," Terk said.
The gorillas were having fun with their stuff. Terk kept trashing facts in the camp, getting the gorillas more and more pumped up for fun. Terk looked at one of the horns of a record player and was unsure what to think of it. "What the hell," she said before tossing it off, "farewell."
The horn landed in Tantor's trunk, giving Tantor a fright. But as Tantor freaked out, a trumpet sound came out from the horn. "YEAH, TANTOR," Terk cheered.
Tantor looked at the horn with confusion as the gorillas kept trashing the camp. "Now hit it," Terk said to her friends.
Tantor was yet unsure what to do. "C'mon, Tantor," Terk encouraged her friend.
Tantor let out a trumpet with the horn, to Terk's approval. "Oh, I love it," she said, "stay with me, boys. I feel something going on here."
With that said, everyone engaged in a musical, fun moment while playing with and smashing the different items and supplies in the campsite. Tantor played his horn as they sang a scat tune, he growled in frustration before shouting out an enraged "STEELE!!"
Terk: Shoo bi doo, da bi da, doo bi doo, da bi da, da, doo bap
All: DOO BAP, SHI DOO! WOAH!!
Everyone was having a really fun time doing this. They used facts like the teacups and scientific experiments as drum sets. They even played with a skeleton and cloth drawers while staying with the beat to the music. This was so fun, way too fun for the gorillas. They had never done such facts before.
All: Shoo bi do, da bi da, doo bi doo, da bi da, da, doo bap
DOO BAP, SHI DOO! WOAH, WOAH!!
DOO BAP, SHI DOO! WOAH!!
This yell was so loud that it echoed across the campsite. Tarzan and Jane appeared after swinging in the trees. There, they saw the gorillas and Tantor having fun in the campsite, hearing the frustrated sled puller shout his name. "Gorillas," Jane said.
Tarzan ran towards the gorillas. Terk noticed Tarzan coming and ran towards him. The other gorillas were happy to see him as well. As Tarzan and Terk wrestled with each other, Jane realized that the reason behind Tarzan's wild behavior. "He's one of them," she said.
Jane looked at Terk, who was in awe of the new visitor. The other gorillas were also unsure of what to think of her. Tarzan growled at Terk, warning her that Jane was safe. Terk slowly approached Jane, who was in awe of the gorilla. The other gorillas started approaching her, fascinated by her. But before anything could happen, Jane heard something behind her. She turned and came face-to-face with a giant silverback gorilla. "Oh…my…God."
It was Kerchak and before Jane could say something, Kerchak roared frustratedly, frightening her. The frustrated male snorted at the concerned woman, who used a spoon to shield herself. After sniffing the girl, Kerchak roared at Tarzan. Terk, Tantor and the gorillas were frightened of Kerchak's frustration. Kala and the rest of the gorilla troop appeared as Kerchak snorted at Tarzan and his friends, warning them to leave at once. Unwilling to mess with the frustrated gorilla, Tantor took Terk and left the scene. Tarzan looked at Jane one last time before hearing more voices. "JANE! JANE!! JANE!!!"
Tarzan didn't want to leave Jane, but took off any matter with Kala. Everyone left the scene, leaving Jane alone in the campsite. "JANE, WHERE ARE YOU," Porter's voice said.
Porter and Clayton appeared at last. Porter was very relieved to see her daughter again. "Jane, oh, Jane, thank heavens," he said as he hugged his daughter.
"Thank heavens what just happened," asked Clayton as he looked at the campsite.
"Are you alright? We were looking for you everywhere," said Porter.
"Oh…oh, my heavens; Dad, I was on my road if…little baby....little baby monkey, I drew a picture. Suddenly the monkey starts crying, then I turn around and there's an entire fleet of them," Jane said, trying to explain her experience to her father who was trying to understand, "there's an army of monkeys, a huge tree full of monkeys that shriek at me! I was suddenly terrified, I was swinging in the air in a vine. Swinging, flying, I was in the air. And we were all surrounded, and Papa, they took my boot. But I was saved....I was made by a flying wild man in a loincloth."
"Loincloth, good sir," said Porter.
"What is his story about," asked Clayton, who didn't get all of it.
"I don't have the slightest idea. They're hogging her mother, you know," replied Porter, "she'd come up with stories like that, not about men in loincloths, of course not..."
"OH, AND THERE WERE GORILLAS," Jane concluded upon realizing what she had been looking for.
"GORILLAS," asked Clayton and Porter.
"You saw the gorillas? Where, Jane, where," asked Clayton.
"He went with them," replied Jane.
"Who, darling, who," asked Porter.
"Tarzan," replied Jane.
"Tarzan," asked Clayton.
"The ape man," added Jane.
Clayton and Porter looked at each other with wonder.
Meanwhile, in the jungle, the gorillas had gathered around Kerchak. "Everyone, we're going to avoid the strangers. Don't you see or go to them," Kerchak ordered.
But Tarzan was against this. "They don't harm us, Kerchak," he said.
"Tarzan, I don't know," replied Kerchak.
"Yes, but I spent time with them."
"You may be willing to risk our security, but I'm not."
"Why are they threatened by someone other from you," asked Tarzan, who was getting annoyed.
Kerchak was not going to tolerate much more of this argument. "Protect this family and stay away from them," he ordered.
Tarzan was not pleased with Kerchak's order. As he walked off, Kala said to him. "Tarzan, listen to Kerchak," she said.
"Why didn't you warn me that there creatures who looked like me," asked a stressed out Tarzan.
Back at the campsite, Jane was drawing a picture of Tarzan on her chalkboard, showing her father what she experienced. "Well, he didn't stand up," she explained as she drew the picture, "he crouched like that. And he supported his weight on his knuckles."
"On the knuckles," Porter said as he observed his daughter's facts.
"Exactly like a gorilla," added Jane shockingly.
"Extraordinary."
"Oh, it was great," said Jane as she crouched down to be look like a gorilla, "bend your elbows like this and then walk like this."
Porter did the same fact and found it fascinating. "Oh, I understand," he said, having a good time, "this is capital."
Nearby, Clayton was shaving off cream on his face. He wasn't all that interested in Jane's discovery. "Oh, Janie, Jane, what a find," said Porter, "a man without language, without human behavior…"
"And NO respect for personal boundaries," added Jane.
"How do you mean?"
Jane got really close to her father, showing him how close Tarzan was to her. "He was so close, Dad, he was staring at me," she said before returning to the chalkboard, "at first, he looked confused, as if he'd never seen a human before. His eyes were intense and concentrated and…never seen kindly."
Porter was yet amazed by his daughter's observations of Tarzan. After thinking, he said, "oh, should I leave you and the blackboard alone for a moment?"
"Dad, stop it," Jane replied sarcastically, "the point is to think about what we can learn from him. We have to find him."
Clayton overheard this and was actually not happy with Jane's idea.  After cleaning his face, he turned to Jane and Porter and said, "Professor, you're here to find gorillas, don't indulge in a girlish fantasy."
Jane was serious by Clayton's words. "Fantasy?! I didn't imagine him. Tarzan is…"
But before she could finish, Tarzan appeared right in front of Jane, giving Clayton a big surprise. Turned out that Jane was right about Tarzan existing. "…real," Jane concluded.
Porter became very shocked about seeing Tarzan in the meat. "Oh, it's…it's him…it's…it's…TARZAN," he exclaimed with a lot of delight.
But Clayton suddenly pointed his gun at Tarzan, ready to fire. "PROFESSOR, JANE, STAY BACK," he shouts.
Porter and Jane immediately objected to this. "PLEASE, WAIT," shouts Porter.
"NO," cried Jane as she swiftly shoved the gun away, right as Clayton fired.
The gunshot was loud and it fired into the air. No one was hurt. "Clayton," Tarzan said upon recognizing the noise.
Porter was confused. "What?"
"Clayton," Tarzan repeated.
Porter started laughing about this, having found it amusing. Tarzan looked at the human visitors. Clayton was confused about this. "Have we met," he asked, "how do you know my name?"
"You think it means the sound of a gunshot," explained Jane.
Tarzan looked closely at Jane, yet very interested in her. "Jane," he said.
"Um, yes, hello…Tarzan," replied Jane, who was happy to see Tarzan again.
"I understand what you mean by these personal boundaries," said Porter.
Tarzan walked around Clayton, looking at him. "What is he doing here," asked Clayton, who was confused.
"Look at him, Jane, he walks like a monkey, but looks like a man," Porter said, "he could be the missing link."
Clayton came up with an idea. "Or our connection to the gorillas," he said to Porter.
"Ah, yes."
Clayton walked up to Tarzan and said, "where are the gorillas?"
But Tarzan looked at Clayton's gear, irritating Clayton in the process. "GORILLAS," he shouts.
"GORILLAS," replied an imitating Tarzan.
"Shouting doesn't help, Mr. Clayton, he doesn't understand English," said Jane.
"Well, then I'll make him understand," replied Clayton who erased Jane's drawing on the chalkboard and drew his own drawing, "if I can teach a parrot to sing 'God Help the Outcasts', I can certainly teach this savage something or two."
Clayton finished his drawing, which was a badly drawn gorilla. "Gorilla," concluded Clayton.
Tarzan looked at the piece of chalk. "Gorilla," he replied.
"Oh, he's had it," said Porter, who was proud.
But Tarzan instead drew all over the chalkboard, having not understood what Clayton was trying to explain. "Gorilla! GORILLA," he said as he drew all over the board.
"Oh, maybe not," said Porter.
"No, no, no, no, no," responded Clayton, who took the chalk from Tarzan, not amused.
"NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO," replied Tarzan, who took it back.
Tarzan and Clayton started brawling over the piece of chalk. But this scuffle was halted by Jane, who took the piece of chalk and said, "Mr. Clayton, I think I'll get it from here."
And so, the humans started showing Tarzan facts he had never seen before. They showed him pictures of gorillas, but also other facts like men, cities, palaces, the sphinx in Egypt and two people dancing. Tarzan liked the picture of the dancers, where he took Jane and started dancing with her. Porter found this amusing and fun, but Clayton didn't express much interest. But Tarzan was yet curious about what awaited him after seeing a picture of outer space. But this was just the beginning of Tarzan's step into discovery of a new world.
In the evening, Jane and Porter showed Tarzan the stars and planets with Porter's telescope. Tarzan was amazed by this, for he had never known there were facts a long roads above the heavens. In the daytime, Jane taught Tarzan how to read English writing from a book. As time went on, Tarzan started getting the hang of how the humans lived in the civilized world. Tarzan even managed to get to ride one of their bicycles. Clayton showed Tarzan where they were on Earth, using a globe's map. Also during this time, Tarzan started feeling affection towards Jane. She was a creature that looked like him, but was a different gender. Wherever looking at Jane, Tarzan could feel a happy feeling inside him.
But during this time, Kala and Terk were getting concerned, but also left out. His actions from leaving the troop early in the morning and having affection towards Jane made them concerned. Clayton had left him very suspicious from time to time.
Tarzan's affections towards Jane were getting stronger and stronger. One day, Tarzan saw her drawing a lovebird on a branch. Tarzan liked her drawing, but Jane's happiness ceased as the lovebird flew off. Seeing that she liked being among the bird, Tarzan took Jane and climbed a vine, high in the trees. There, she saw many more lovebirds. She was amazed by this. Lovebirds perched themselves on Tarzan and Jane. This was a fascinating experience for Jane. In the evening, Tarzan took Jane's hand and helped her swing on vines. Jane was at first hesitant, but started enjoying it. It wasn't as hard as she thought. By this time, Jane started having affection towards Tarzan.
But one day, Clayton decided to get what they came for done like dinner. "We've wasted no time for what he wants," he said, "the boat can arrive every day, now ask him immediately."
The humans turned to Tarzan, who was looking at a model of the solar system. "Tarzan," said Jane, "will you take us to the gorillas? Do you understand?"
"I…I understand," replied Tarzan.
"Great job, Jane," said Porter.
"Well," asked an expectant Clayton.
But to their dismay, Tarzan said, "I can't."
The humans were disappointed. "Why not, Tarzan," asked Jane.
"Kerchak."
Porter sighed with disappointment. Jane was also disappointed, but Clayton was not going to take it. He tried demanding to show them the gorillas, but Tarzan yet did not let them get in damage with Kerchak. Later on, Tarzan continued looking at the different pictures of facts he hadn't seen. Eventually, he stopped at a picture of a man giving a woman flowers. Tarzan looked at Jane and thought of an idea.
The next day, Tarzan gathered flowers and headed back to the campsite. Terk and Tantor watched as he headed out for his intended destination. "Oh, Terk, I've never seen him so happy," said Tantor, who was happy with Tarzan's joyful behavior.
"Eh, I'd give it a week," replied a disappointed Terk.
With that said, Tarzan headed towards the campsite. But once he saw the camp, something was different. More and more people were there and they were taking down the tents and gathering the supplies for departure. These guys were big, buff and mean-looking. There was a big ship off in the distance at sea. "Alright, free her," said one of the men.
Tarzan walked into the campsite while waiting in the vegetation nearby. "No, don't, please…I waited thirty years for this and I won't leave until I see a gorilla," Porter argued with the thugs as they packed the stuff, "isn't that horrible, Tarzan?"
Porter was suddenly carried off by a longer pole. Tarzan couldn't stay standing in the middle of the activity. He swiftly rushed back into the forest. "You're the captain," Clayton argued with the ship's captain, "just warn them that you had engine damage and give us two more days."
"And being late from every port from here to London," asked a disappointed captain.
"But we'll come this fashion for nothing," complained Jane.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Porter, but I just can't do it," replied the stern captain before walking off.
This was very disheartening. Clayton was very stern about this. "Argh! This is your fault. I should've followed my instincts and prepared traps for the beasts," he complained to Jane.
"You don't think I'm disappointed with the gorillas," complained Jane as she picked up her suitcase, "you're absolutely impressed."
But before she could finish, she incidentally bumped into Tarzan. "Oh, Tarzan," she said, "I was so frightened you wouldn't arrive in time. The boat has arrived, the boat that's come to take us home, to England. And Dad and I were wondering…well…I was wondering.....well, we really hoped you would come with us. Isn't it?"
Tarzan thought for a moment. "Go see England today, go home tomorrow," he said.
But Jane's response wasn't what he expected. "Oh, dear, well, you see, it would be very difficult to come back…never," she said.
"Don't come back?"
"Well, I know it sounds terrible, but you belong to us......to the people," replied Jane.
"Jane must be with Tarzan," said Tarzan, who positioned himself like the man in the picture with his flowers.
"Stay, here…" but before Jane could finish, she incidentally let go of her suitcase and her clothes started flying out. "Oh, dear, oh, dear, my laundry, look, I can't stay. Look, I've had…I'm with my father and......"
"Jane," said Tarzan gently as he showed her the now ruined flowers, "stay."
"But…"
"Please," begged Tarzan.
Jane was yet unsure what to think. She didn't want to disappoint Tarzan, but didn't want to leave England behind. "I…I can't," she said mournfully before running off weeping.
Tarzan was really mournful about Jane's words. "Women; that's typical," said Clayton as he approached Tarzan and got a glass of juice, "thank you, Jones. Even if you hadn't become a savage, you would've been lost. There are no traces for a woman's heart."
"Jane is going," said Tarzan.
"Yes," replied a sympathetic Clayton, "if only she could've spent more time with the gorillas. She's so disappointed; really crushed. I'm sorry, old man. Oh, well, I'd better take Jane's facts to the ship."
Tarzan watched as Clayton picked up Jane's suitcase and headed to shore. Tarzan thought of something. "Clayton," he said.
Clayton stopped and oddly grinned at Tarzan. "If Jane sees the gorillas, she stays," asked Tarzan.
"Say, that's why she came, isn't it," replied Clayton.
Tarzan thought for a moment. Although Kerchak would not approve of humans being near the gorilla troop, and made it clear that Tarzan was to protect the gorillas from them, Tarzan wanted Jane to stay. "I will," he said.
"Good man," replied a satisfied Clayton, "SNIPES!!"
"Sir?"
"Bring the boys together, there will be a change in plans," replied Clayton, who grinned at Tarzan.
In the jungle, Tarzan swung down the tree branches while trying to speak Terk into doing something. "Terk, all you have to do is get Kerchak out of the road," he said.
"WHAT?!"
"Oh, I'd love to have Kerchak…"
But before Tantor could finish, Terk, who landed on Tantor's back, clinched his trunk, silencing him. "Close your luggage compartment and get me outta here," said Terk as Tantor walked off, "can you believe that guy? Releasing us like a newborn giraffe; ker-plop! Now waltzes in here and expects us to…"
But before Terk could finish, Tarzan landed right in front of her and said, "Terk, I beg you as a friend."
"Oh, OH, with your face and the eyes and…UGH…ALWAYS," complained Terk, "but don't make me do anything embarrassing."
Eventually, Terk found herself in Jane's dress, running through the bushes in a rush. "I'M GONNA MURDER HIM," she yelled.
Tantor appeared with sticks, a shirt, a small amount of grass and a hat on his trunk that made it look like Porter's face. "Uh, actually, I thought that dress pretty slimmed down on you," he said.
"Oh, really," replied an impressed Terk, "I thought it was a bit of revealing and kind…"
Terk and Tantor suddenly heard Kerchak roaring and became frightened. They shrieked as they fled for their lives. Kerchak appeared and noticed the two in the bushes. "How does she move in this matter," asked Terk frantically.
But all Kerchak saw was Terk and Tantor's disguises were wearing. He did not recognize the two at all. He only thought that they were the humans and chased after them. As Terk and Tantor frantically ran to get away from the frustrated Kerchak, Tarzan silently led the human visitors down their path to the gorillas.
Kala was stripping leaves from a steam as she noticed Tarzan behind her. She was happy to see her son again, though she was concerned he had become too obsessed with the human world. But as she approached her son, she saw something following him. It was Jane. Upon seeing the humans, Kala stopped and became concerned. Porter and Clayton appeared as well, concerning Kala more. "Look, Dad," Jane said to her father.
"Wha…wha…Jane," Porter said as he noticed the worried gorilla.
"Be careful, Professor," said Clayton.
"She's beautiful," said Jane.
"She's my mum," said Tarzan.
"But…this is your...mum," asked Jane, who was amazed.
Tarzan could sense that Kala was getting concerned. He slowly approached her. "Ooo, ooo, ooo," he chittered, speaking in gorilla language.
But Kala was too hesitant to be around the humans. She backed off slowly. "What, what, what's going on," asked Porter.
"I don't know, Dad," replied Jane, who was confused.
Kala disappeared behind the bushes. "It's getting away," exclaimed Clayton, who moved forward to catch up with Kala.
But Jane knew if Clayton just followed Kala, it would make facts worse. "Clayton, no, you're just going to scare her more," said Jane.
Tarzan continued chittering, trying to get Kala to come back. This time, she was joined by Jane, who wanted to do the same fact. "Oh, yes, absolutely, my darling. Good idea," he said as he got down and chittered.
Clayton was the only one who didn't get down and do the same. "What are you doing here? Do you want to scare them off? GET UP!! Get…" but before Clayton could finish, he noticed something appearing above them, "don't give up."
In the branches high above, gorillas appeared, fascinating Jane and Porter. The humans were amazed by this. They had eventually got a chance to see actually gorillas. They were all over them in the branches. It was a beautiful sight, so astonishing that Porter fainted in amazement. Clayton grinned upon seeing the apes eventually. As for Jane, she was approached by three baby gorillas, who were curious. Jane got down and said, "hello."
One baby was reminded of Tarzan and started pounding his chest and chattering softly, trying to be like Tarzan. Jane found this amusing. "It's very nice to meet you as well," she said.
Tarzan watched as Jane played with the babies, with some gorillas were starting to surround Porter. "Oh, your Majesty, you're such a reed," Porter said in his sleep.
Mungo picked up the Professor by the foot, awakening him, but also surprising him. "Oh, hey, hey, hey, Archimedes Q. Porter, at your service," Porter said as he extended his hand for a handshake.
Flynt took Porter's hand. "Quite a grip you have," said Porter before being let down to the ground, "oh, thank you. Is that one of mine?"
The gorillas became shocked about this man. He looked like them, his hands were similar to theirs, and his hair was like their fur. The gorillas started picking out little bits of Porter's hair, grooming him. "Oh, this is wonderful, Mr. Clayton, look, look, social care."
"Congratulations, Professor," he said before marking his list and silently saying, "our dream has come true."
He looked off in the distance and saw the ship. He grinned at a thought, but this didn't last long, since gorillas were already on him. One gorilla tried taking his list. "Give it to me," he said with irritation before gorillas all over him started taking his stuff, including his gun, "hey, what are you doing here? STOP IT, STOP IT! STAY NOW, LET IT GO!! It's not to be played with."
The three gorilla babies were all over Jane. They were playing with her hair as she giggled. This was really adorable. Tarzan appeared, growling and the gorilla babies threw themselves onto him. Tarzan was having fun with them. Jane watched as Tarzan had a good time. "Can you teach me," asked Jane.
"Talk gorilla," asked Tarzan.
"Yes."
Tarzan turned to Jane and said, "ooo-ooo-eeh."
"Ooo-ooo-eeh," repeated Jane.
"Yes?"
"Yes."
"Good."
"Great."
"Terrific."
"Wonderful."
"Alright."
"OK, that's it."
"Ooh-hoo-hoo," giggled Jane, "ooh-ooh-eeh-eh-ooh."
The baby gorillas became shocked and chattered as they celebrated. Kala appeared from her hiding place and watched. This girl wasn't harming the gorillas in any matter. Jane was actually playing with them and was very gentle to them. Perhaps Kala could accept her. "Good heavens," said Jane, "you were saying?"
"That Jane stays with Tarzan," replied Tarzan.
Jane's joy turned into uncertainty, for she had just spoke about this with Tarzan earlier. "Stop? I thought we'd already have…Tarzan…we…"
But before she could say something else, they heard a shriek in the vegetation. Terk and Tantor appeared, yet on the run. Tantor tripped and rolled down the hill and landed with a thud. Terk landed on top of him. "Is that my dress," asked Jane.
"Oh, dear," said Tarzan.
Suddenly, Kerchak appeared, tearing the branches and bushes out of the road with ferocity. As he charged, he suddenly noticed the humans with the gorillas. Jane remembered this big silverback as the one who frightened her before. "Dad," she said hesitantly.
Everyone noticed Kerchak and became concerned. A gorilla was trying to take his gun. "GIVE IT TO ME," he complained before taking the gun and pointing it right at the ape.
Kerchak saw this and was shocked. Not taking any risks, Kerchak roared and charged at the stressed-out human. Clayton noticed this, but was too late to react. He was tackled to the ground by the frustrated gorilla. Tarzan immediately stepped forward and stopped Kerchak from harming Clayton any further. Clayton swiftly crawled back to the other humans, who were in fear of the frustrated silverback. Kerchak threw Tarzan aside and turned his attention back to the humans. He roared and charged at the humans, giving them a fright. But before he could reach them, Tarzan appeared again and caught him by the neck. He was now in a serious fight, trying to keep the gorilla from harming his friends. Kerchak attempted to get near the humans, but Tarzan was very stronger. Kerchak was yet not going down easily. As he attempted to get near the humans, Tarzan yelled, "GO!!"
The humans started fleeing the scene. "Please, wait, TARZAN," cried Jane.
"GO NOW," yelled Tarzan upset.
"Jane, run, hurry up," said Porter, who didn't want to cause any damage.
As Jane and Porter fled, Clayton looked frustratedly at the silverback and fled as well. As for Tarzan, he kept restraining Kerchak as Kala approached the fight. Tarzan did so, and Kerchak shivered upon trying to catch his breath. Tarzan looked at the other gorillas, who stood shocked and concerned. Tarzan looked at Kala, who wasn't very happy either. "Kerchak," said Tarzan, "I didn't...I'm sorry, I…"
"I asked you to protect our family," said Kerchak mournfully, before sternly saying, "and you…betrayed us all."
Tarzan, confused, but also ashamed of himself, backed off slowly, before turning and fleeing. Kala watched mournfully as he fled as fast as he could.
On a branch with an ocean's view, Tarzan stood, upset and confused about the action of restraining Kerchak from harming the humans. Kala appeared behind him. "I'm so confused," said Tarzan.
"Come with me," she said, "something I should've shown you a long time ago."
In the evening, Kala took Tarzan to the very place they found him; the old tree house that was built by his biological parents a long time ago. By this time, it was covered with flora and was more jungle like. Tarzan slowly walked into the abandoned tree house. He was barely able to remember anything about this place. Tarzan noticed the small blanket he was in if he was an infant. He looked at it as Kala entered the house. As Tarzan examined the area, he stepped on a picture frame. He looked at the glass part and saw a human family's portrait after cleaning off the dust. He saw a baby in Alice's arms. "Is that me," he asked.
Kala nodded yes. "And this is my father," added Tarzan, "and…and my…"
Tarzan looked at Kala, who then said mournfully, "now you know. Tarzan, I just want you to be happy, whatever you decide."
Kala walked out of the house to leave Tarzan to decide his action. Tarzan looked at his mother, before turning to the picture. Now he had a serious decision to make. Should he stay or should he go and experience a new life?
Outside the house, Kala sat mournfully, waiting for Tarzan to come out. Kala heard a stepping sound behind her and turned. Out came Tarzan, who was now in a suit. He was wearing his deceased biological father's outfit. Upon seeing her son with the new look, Kala realized what he intended on doing. She started weeping as Tarzan comforted her. "Wherever I go, you will always be my mother," he said.
More tears came down Kala's face as Tarzan hugged her. "And you'll always be in my heart," she said as she wept.
Tarzan turned to Kala. He gave Kala a farewell before leaving the tree. Kala mournfully watched her son leave.
Morning came and Tarzan met up with the humans. "Tarzan," said Jane, "I'm so glad you found us in time."
Tarzan came in the mini boat with the others as they took off into the water. But as they left, Terk and Tantor burst out of the jungle. "TARZAN," cried Tantor.
"We're too late," complained a frustrated Terk, "I can't believe it. If you'd stop and ask for directions."
"We're not allowed to say a farewell," wept Tantor.
While Tantor was mournful about Tarzan's departure, Terk was very tense. "YES, WELL, GOOD RIDDANCE, ALRIGHT, WHO NEEDS YOU, WHAT?! GO AHEAD, GET OUT OF HERE, YOU BALD BOY, YOU BALD INGRATE, GO AHEAD AND ROCK for everything I give, thank you," Terk yelled as her stress turned into despair.
Terk was really upset about Tarzan leaving. Tantor looked at her as she sniffled. "What are you looking at," asked Terk mournfully.
"I'm going to miss him as well," replied Tantor.
Terk looked at Tantor, but did nothing more than a moan with frustration. She turned and went back into the jungle as Tantor sighed, apparently feeling bad for Terk, but going to miss Tarzan.
Near the ship, Jane said to Tarzan, "oh, Tarzan, you can't imagine what awaits you. You'll see the world and everyone will want to meet you; kings, scientists and famous writers…"
"Yes, Darwin and Kipling, Queen Victoria," added Porter as he climbed a ladder up to the ship.
"And I didn't meet her, but I heard she's really nice," said Jane.
"And I'll be with Jane," said Tarzan.
Jane giggled. "Yes…with Jane," she said as she attempted to climb the ladder, "smooth."
Tarzan helped his friend get onto the ship. As Jane climbed up the ladder, Tarzan took one final look at the jungle. The home he had grown up in for years was now nothing more than a memory. Tarzan was going to miss everything in the jungle, from his mother or his friends to even Kerchak, but he knew that he no longer had a place with the gorillas and it was best if he go to England. He turned and started climbing the ladder. He got onto the ship, hoping to meet up with Jane and Porter. But as he got on, he noticed some frightened men advancing towards him slowly. These guys had the captain of the ship tied up and were carrying Jane and Porter into the cargo hold. "TARZAN," cried Jane as she tried getting away, but he dragged her back, "TARZAN!!"
Tarzan realized that this was danger. The thugs made a run for him. "GET HIM!!"
Tarzan, using his agility, dodged them and jumped onto one of the metal cages. But the thugs easily chased after him. Tarzan jumped onto the ship's mast as the thugs tried catching him. As he climbed the mast, he heard Jane. "TARZAN!!"
Tarzan saw Jane and Porter being put in the cargo hold, like it was a prison cell. "JANE," cried Tarzan.
One thug managed to catch onto Tarzan's foot, but was swiftly shaken off. Tarzan climbed the very top of the mast and made the jump for it. The thugs watched in awe as he caught hold by one of the ship's funnels. But Tarzan's strength and acrobatics weren't getting him anywhere. The funnel was made of metal and Tarzan was slipping. He watched in horror as his hand slipped off the funnel and he fell from a great height. He landed on wooden crates and was hurt. As he stood up, two thugs caught him and hit him to a wall. But this fight stopped as a gunshot suddenly erupted. "WHAT IS THIS," Clayton demanded.
"Clayton, Clayton, help," begged Tarzan as he fought.
Clayton heard Tarzan, but instead of helping him, he just stood there. "Have we met," he asked.
Tarzan looked at Clayton and was confused. Why wasn't Clayton helping him like he asked? Clayton looked at Tarzan's face and said, "ah, yes, the ape-man."
Tarzan saw this and was enraged. Now he knew Clayton was behind this scheme. "Clayton," he growled, "you…YOU…"
But before Tarzan could attack, Clayton hit him with his gun. Tarzan was now in more pain. "I'm very sorry about the rude welcome, old boy, but I couldn't let you make a scene if we put your furry friends in their cages," said Clayton.
"Why," asked Tarzan.
Clayton knelt down. "Why? For three hundred pounds per head," replied Clayton, revealing his plan, "actually, I should thank you, my boy; I couldn't have done it without you."
Tarzan realized that Clayton was right. If he had never shown the humans where the gorillas were, none of this would've happened. Kerchak was right as he said that he betrayed his family. "Lock him up with the others," Clayton ordered as he walked off.
Tarzan, in his frustration, let out a loud yell. This yell was so loud that it echoed across the jungle. Terk and Tantor heard this yell. "That sounded like Tarzan," said Tantor, "he sounded like....like he was in danger."
But Terk was yet reluctant about helping Tarzan. "Yes, well, why doesn't he get his new friends to help him? I don't care," she said.
Tantor took a stand and said, "THAT'S IT," before catching Terk with his trunk, "I'VE STAYED HERE WITH YOU AND YOUR EMOTIONAL CONSTIPATION! TARZAN NEEDS US AND WE'LL HELP HIM!! DO YOU HAVE THAT?! Pipe down now and hold on," added Tantor before putting Terk on his back, "we have a boat to catch."
Tantor burst out of the jungle, trumpeting the 'charge' theme, while Terk shrieked. But just as it seemed they would enter the ocean, they found themselves falling from a big height. Tantor's trumpet was interrupted as they fell. It turned out their pathway ahead was only a road to the cliff. Luckily, they landed in the ocean. Tantor resurfaced and said, "I've never felt so alive."
"Good, because I'm going to hurt you," complained a wet Terk.
Tantor saw a boat heading their road, with Clayton and his men in it. The ship was right ahead of them. "There's no time for that now, Miss," said Tantor.
Tantor dove underwater and swam right underneath Clayton's boat. Clayton looked at the forest with an evil look. His plan was about to be put into action. But he was unaware that an elephant was right underneath him. Tantor put his trunk above water, and like a submarine sonar, saw Clayton's boat heading for the jungle. Tantor proceeded to the ship.
Inside the cargo hold, Tarzan was frantically jumping around the room, trying to break through. Jane, Porter, the Captain and a few other sailors watched him try desperately to get out, but they knew that it was no use. "Tarzan, it makes no sense, don't," begged Jane.
Tarzan stopped jumping from place to place and tried looking for another road out. Jane tried to calm him down, but Tarzan, overwhelmed with frustration and stress, aggressively snarled at her. He calmed himself, but was yet frustrated at Clayton. "Clayton," he said.
"Yes, Clayton," replied Jane, "Clayton has betrayed us all. I'm so sorry, Tarzan."
"Yes," said a guilty Tarzan, "I did this. I betrayed my family. Kerchak was right."
"Oh, these beautiful creatures," said Porter, "shivering in cages. WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING......"
Porter hit the metal wall with his frustration, but before he could rant further, the ship started angling to the left. Everyone slid down to the metal wall. This took everyone by surprise. "Oh, my dear; don't know my own strength," said Porter, who thought it was his muscles who turned the ship.
But it was actually Tantor using the anchor chain to get onto the ship. As he got onto the ship, it started angling to the right, back to normal. Everyone was sliding back to the center. "What was that," asked Jane.
On deck, Terk and Tantor were fighting off the remaining thugs. These men were no match for the strength from his animal intruder. "You are an animal," Terk said as she beat off some of the thugs.
Tantor trumpeted frustratedly, frightening some of the thugs. Tantor smashed his foot into the cargo hold doors, breaking them and making an exit. His foot was a few inches above Porter. "That sounded just like an elephant," said Porter.
"TANTOR," said Tarzan.
Tantor helped Tarzan come out of the cargo hold, where he met up with Terk. "Thank you, guys," he said.
Terk was very happy to see her childhood friend again. "Oh, I thought I'd never see you again, and here you are," she said emotionally before getting picked up by Tantor.
"Sometimes you embarrass me."
Tarzan immediately jumped out of the boat and into the water. He was ready for a confrontation with Clayton and his men.
Under the dark night heavens, Kerchak silently walked through his gorilla troop as they got ready to settle in for the night. This was different than before, since Tarzan wasn't around. Although Kerchak was content that Tarzan wasn't around, he felt that it wasn't right. Kerchak noticed Kala nearby, who was yet depressed about Tarzan leaving and possibly never returning. Kerchak started feeling guilty as he looked at his mournful wife. He didn't want to see his wife mournful. Suddenly, a flash of light exploded in the heavens, alarming the gorillas and making them hesitant. This light was bright, but there was another fact that caught their attention. The thugs appeared over a hill, yelled like savages and charged at the gorillas. Kerchak instantly realized that this was danger. He roared and charged at the attacking men, but was restrained by a net. The men chased the gorillas into another group of thugs waiting for them. In another part of the jungle, Tarzan was swinging from branch to branch. By now, he took off his father's clothes and returned to his loincloth look. But he had to move fast. His gorilla family was in danger. While rushing to his family, he awakened some of the other jungle animals, like hippos, elephants, baboons, etc. as the thugs captured more and more of the gorillas. More and more shots were fired into the air, scaring the gorillas into an area where they had a net thrown on them. Kala tried getting the younger apes away, but was caught and thrown into a cage. Kerchak managed to break free of the net and rushed to save his family, but was swiftly restrained again by the savage thugs. Clayton appeared with his gun, loaded up for murdering. "Ah, I remember you," he said upon seeing the silverback that attacked him.
Kerchak recognized Clayton and snarled. "I think this is better with stuffing," Clayton said as he pointed his gun at the ape.
Kerchak looked at the murderous man and gave a frustrated grin, but Clayton didn't care, for he knew he would have the last laugh. But before he could fire, he, his thugs and the gorillas heard a loud yell. The gorillas recognized this yell. Tarzan suddenly appeared, with an army of jungle amimals charging into battle. Tarzan knocked Clayton down as Clayton noticed a huge herd of elephants, rhinos and hippos stampeding towards the thugs. Clayton made a run, but swiftly turned around as Tantor burst from the vegetation with Terk, Jane and Porter on his back. "CHARGE," yelled Porter upset.
Clayton managed to get out of the road, but growled with frustration. They were interfering with his plans. Tarzan swiftly freed Kerchak, who was happy to see Tarzan again. "I'm back," he said.
"I'm home," replied Tarzan.
Kerchak grinned as well, but swiftly stopped a thug from attacking him and Tarzan. Tarzan grinned at the big gorilla, now aware that he had his back.
Tantor whacked and hit all the thugs that attacked him, with the help from a rhino. One of the hippos frightened a group of thugs into getting in a cage. Terk did the same fact to another group of thugs, but also pretended having rabies to make the thugs even more afraid. Terk was actually using spit and she wiped it off as the cage door shut closed. But she found herself at spearpoint as a thug got ready to attack. But this guy was caught by Tantor and thrown into the cage. "FIRE," ordered Porter.
As for Tarzan and Kerchak, they were busy trying to free the captured gorillas from their nets and traps. Clayton watched them, but turned to two of his remaining thugs and said, "you there, bring as much as you can, return to the ship."
These two thugs had Kala in their cage. She was getting terrified and hesitant. Clayton loaded his gun and said, "I have some hunting to do," before disappearing behind the undergrowth.
Tantor was yet heading into the jungle, looking for more of the thugs to catch, but Jane noticed the two thugs attempting to take Kala away. Jane wasn't going to let them take Tarzan's mother. She spotted a nearby vine and caught it. She swung and knocked one thug down, but the other was ready to attack. But before he could muster, he heard a growling sound. Above him were the many baboons that attacked Jane earlier. The baby baboon directed the others towards the hunter and they all chased after him. They were no longer interested in attacking Jane. The baby baboon even landed on Jane's shoulder, gave her a kiss and joined his family. Jane was obliged by the baby, but swiftly turned her attention to a panicking Kala. "Don't worry, I'll let you get this out sooner or later," she said.
The thug knocked Jane over got up and was about to strike her, as Tarzan appeared, taking him down. This thug had a wrench, but now it was in Tarzan's hands. "This should work," said Jane as she used the wrench to pry the cage open.
The cage was opened up and now Kala was free. Kala was very happy to see Tarzan again. But this reunion was short-lived because another gunshot erupted. But this one hit Tarzan's right arm. The bullet only graved his arm, but it was very painful. Jane gasped. Kerchak heard this and realized that Clayton was trying to shoot Tarzan. Kerchak roared and charged right at the evil hunter. But before he could respond, Clayton fired again. This time, it delivered a direct hit on Kerchak. Kerchak collapsed to the ground. Tarzan saw this and was concerned. He rushed to Kerchak's side, but his concern turned into pure frustration. He turned to Clayton and charged with a yell. But Clayton yet had his gun. He fired again and again, but missed each time. Tarzan realized that Clayton had an advantage and hid in the trees. "HIDDEN, ARE WE," Clayton taunted, "THERE YOU GO!!"
Jane attempted to stop Clayton from going after Tarzan. "CLAYTON, YOU RAT!!"
But she was knocked aside. "But I can use challenges," Clayton said before turning to Tarzan, who was attempting to get higher in the tree, "I'M TOO EASY TO CURL UP YOUR LITTLE MONKEY FAMILY AFTER DRIVING YOU OFF!!"
Clayton climbed higher and higher up into the tree. He got onto a high branch as lightning flashed. He looked around for Tarzan, but he was nowhere to be seen. Tarzan suddenly appeared, knocking Clayton onto the branch, sending his gun falling. Clayton punched Tarzan in his right arm, giving him the upper hand. But Tarzan kicked Clayton off the branch, and onto another. As Clayton moaned, he noticed his gun nearby. But before he could get it though, Tarzan pulled him back, caught the gun and pointed it right at Clayton in frustration. Though held at gunpoint, Clayton wasn't in fear. Instead, he started taunting Tarzan. "C'mon, shoot me."
Tarzan started feeling uncertainty. Should he shoot the man who shot Kerchak? He started thinking to himself as Clayton taunted again. "Be a man."
Clayton's taunting and laughing made Tarzan frustrated again. He pointed the gun right underneath Clayton's chin. Nothing happened at first, wouldn't believe he would do such a fact, but swiftly braced himself for the shot as he heard a loud gunshot. But to his surprise, this gunshot didn't come from the gun. It came from Tarzan. As Clayton shivered, Tarzan swung the gun around while shouting, "NOT A GUY LIKE YOU," before smashing the gun into the branch.
Clayton watched as his main weapon fell to pieces to the jungle floor. By now, Clayton flew into a violent rage as he pulled out his machete and slashed at Tarzan. Tarzan, taken by surprise, jumped backward. He plummeted a short distance away from the evil hunter, and moved as best he could away from him in the vines. He was backed into a wall, and Clayton appeared, ready to murder. Lightning flashed as Clayton lashed out his knife at Tarzan. Tarzan was in big danger again. He swiftly used a vine and swung it around Clayton's arm, stopping him from slashing at Tarzan. Tarzan swung more and more vines in a rush and swiftly tore off the other vines, keeping him from getting closer. Now Clayton was tangled in vines. As he looked at Tarzan, he violently started getting himself out of the entanglement. He slashed at the vines mindlessly. But as Tarzan watched, he saw something around Clayton that would make facts worse. "CLAYTON," he shouts.
But Clayton wasn't listening to him. What he was unaware of was that a vine had wrapped around his neck. "CLAYTON, NO, DON'T," begged Tarzan.
But the violent Clayton didn't pay attention. He continued mindlessly cutting the vines until eventually, with no vines left for him to carry, was sent plummeting to the ground. Tarzan was sent falling down as well. As Clayton yelled in rage, the vine was yet around his neck. He kept plummeting down until eventually, the vine around his neck snapped straight. His machete landed on the ground, and so did Tarzan. Tarzan wasn't injured, but Clayton was left dangling lifelessly. He was now hanged. There was a boom of thunder before the rain began to fall. Now although Clayton was dead, Tarzan felt bad, for he was unable to warn him fast enough. Jane walked to him and comforted him.
But now, they had another problem. The gorillas had gathered around the fatally wounded Kerchak. Kala was behind his side as he started dying. Everyone felt horrible about this. Tarzan approached Kala as he hugged him. Everyone backed off where that Tarzan could speak to the now dying Kerchak. "Tarzan," Kerchak said.
"Kerchak," replied Tarzan, "forgive me."
"No, forgive that you don't always understand that you were one of us," said Kerchak, "now our family looks to you."
Tarzan, upon hearing Kerchak's words, felt bad in himself, but also doubt. "No, Kerchak," he said mournfully.
"Take care of them," said Kerchak as he put his hand over Tarzan's shoulder, "…my son."
Tarzan was shocked that Kerchak eventually accepted him as a son, but was even more saddened because Kerchak was now dying and he wouldn't have a chance to spend more time with him. Tarzan held onto Kerchak's hand, not wanting Kerchak to leave him, but it was no use. "Take care of them," said Kerchak as he closed his eyes.
His head gently lowered to the ground and his hand slipped off Tarzan's shoulder. It plopped onto the ground. It was now clear that Kerchak had died.  Tarzan, realizing this, hugged his gorilla father's dead body as everyone around him mourned. Tarzan put Kerchak's dead body gently onto the ground. He was going to miss him. Tarzan turned to the mournful family of gorillas. Now they were in need of a leader. Tarzan turned back to the body, but then knew straight away what he needed to do. Although he dealt with years of being rejected by Kerchak, and Kerchak never accepted him as a son until his final moments. Tarzan knew what would make him proud. He stood on all fours like a brave gorilla, looked at the gorilla family, got on his hind legs and roared his Tarzan yell while pounding his chest. Now it was a clear indication that Tarzan was the new leader of the gorillas. He walked off, leading the gorillas to a new nesting spot.
As the sun began to rise in the heavens the next morning, but while Tarzan was the new leader of the gorillas and he knew there would be a benefit on their behalf, he had to deal with a new problem; saying a farewell to Jane and Porter. After bandaging his left arm, Tarzan had a few last words with Jane before she left. "London will look much smaller than this," said Jane.
"I will see you, Jane," replied Tarzan, who no longer had the intention of persuading her to leave.
"Ms. Porter," called the ship captain.
"Hang on, we're coming," replied Jane before turning to Tarzan one last time, "well…I should say a farewell."
Jane extended out her hand for a handshake. Tarzan put his arm out and both put their hands together, similar to how they first met. Jane started remembering all the good times she had with Tarzan, from being rescued by the baboons to playing with the gorillas. And now, she was leaving it all behind to return to England. "Farewell," said Tarzan.
Jane mournfully got into the lifeboat with her father and they left the shore for the ship. "Goodbye, Tarzan. Farewell," said Porter, "oh, I miss that boy."
Porter sat with his daughter. He noticed that his daughter was mournful about leaving. As Jane put her gloves on, Porter decided to express what he thought should happen. "Jane, darling, I have to feel that you should stay," he said.
"Daddy, please, we did all this. I couldn't...I…I belong to England with you and people…"
But before Jane could finish, her second glove was blown out of her grip and onto the shore, where Tarzan was watching. Tarzan picked up the glove and felt more mournful because he yet would have reminders of the girl he enjoyed being with. Even though Jane made a few good friends about being in England, Porter said, "but you love him."
Jane thought for a moment and realized that her father was right. She turned to him as he said, "go ahead."
Jane grinned and gave her father a big hug for the support and compassion he had given him. With that said, Jane jumped out of the boat and swam back to shore. She incidentally tackled Tarzan to the ground and gave him a kiss. Tarzan was surprised by this, but was happy that Jane decided to stay after all. Tarzan gave Jane her glove as she said, "yes, thank you. Thanks for getting my glove."
But Tarzan looked at Jane in the eye and gave her a kiss, confirming his love for her. Jane really loved this. As she stared off into space, she noticed Terk, Tantor and the gorillas staring at them. Tarzan and Jane found this funny as they got up and walked towards them. Porter watched from the lifeboat and was happy that his daughter was joyful. Then he realized something. "What, what…what am I doing this," he asked himself before turning to the captain, "Captain. Warn them that you couldn't find us, yes? In the end, people get lost in the jungle every day, right? Ta-ta, pip-pip."
Porter jumped out of the water and headed back to the shore. On the shore, Kala approached Jane. She extended out her hand and Jane took her hand. Kala was happy with Jane staying in the jungle. The other gorillas approached her as she cleared her throat and said, "ooh-ooh-eeh-ah-ooh!"
Everyone erupted with happiness as they cheered. Now Jane was officially going to stay in the jungle with them. This was the beginning of a new era for everyone in the jungle. Now Jane and Porter were part of the gorilla family, Terk, Tantor, Kala and the gorillas had two new friends welcomed into their family. Now Tarzan was the leader of the troop, and most of all, Tarzan and Jane began their love relationship. Now it was a happy time for everyone…two worlds, one family.
