A day had passed since Kenji had told Kala about his strange powers he had and with Kala's help and support, they managed to inform Tarzan, Jane, Professor Archimedes, Terk, Tantor, Flynt and Mungo and if anyone else was curious about it, they would inform them too. Kenji had been silent the whole time he woke up this morning. He already breakfast by having four bananas and water from his water canteen. Kenji was washing himself off at the lake while other gorillas were nearby.

"Do you think Kenji's alright?" asked Tantor curiously.

"I hope so, he hasn't said a word all morning." said Terk.

Terk and Tantor were nearby as they cleaning themselves off with water from the river. Many of the other gorillas were informed by Kala to not bully or judge Kenji since he was feeling emotionally vulnerable. Tarzan was nearby to keep an eye on things.

"Behold to you all, the freak walks among you." Kenji heard Tublat's voice in his head.

Kenji felt like he was going through a tough time ever since he's battle with Tublat, after he was done washing himself off, he got up on his feet and felt the need to pee, he looked around and knew he had to find a tree as the feeling to pee was strong so he walked off in the direction of the trees nearby. Tantor saw him walking off.

"Kenji, where you headed?" called Tantor.

"Bathroom, got to find a tree." said Kenji as he walked off.

Tantor understood that Kenji had to answer the call of nature. Terk at first didn't hear him.

"Where did the little guy say he was going?" asked Terk curiously.

"He has to find a tree, he has to, you know, do his business." said Tantor.

Terk and Tantor knew that Kenji wouldn't go off anywhere in the jungle alone when ever he even had to use the bathroom so they decided to follow him to make sure he was alright. Kenji had already took off at a far distance, he found a big tree to use. Kenji undid his pants and began to urinate.

"What a relief." said Kenji with a sigh of relief.

"You gonna create a new waterfall or what?" came a male voice.

Kenji jumped as he was startled, he almost fell to the ground, he zipped up his pants and buttoned it up closed. He turned to see a male shady mandrill. Kenji had no idea who he was and never met him, he was blushing as the mandrill caught him using the bathroom.

"Don't sneak up on people, you never know if someone could get aggressive like a lion." said Kenji giving him a warning.

"I'll keep that in mind, I'm Zutho by the way." said the male mandrill as he introduced himself.

"Kenji." said Kenji as he introduced himself too.

Kenji never met Zutho before and he was both curious but kept his guard up in case of anyone up to no good.

"I hear your the new guy in the jungle, what do you think of the jungle so far?" asked Zutho curiously.

"It seems livable." said Kenji.

Zutho looked around to see if anyone was around, he saw no one else but Kenji and he turned to face him.

"I've heard of a few things about you." said Zutho with a grin.

Kenji felt his heart sink a bit, he wondered what Zutho heard about and never knew anyone else other than Tarzan and the others to know about it, his heart raced a bit from nervousness.

"What did you hear?" asked Kenji trying to look cool in the face under pressure.

"Well, I heard a rumor that you like Terk." said Zutho giggling.

"Do you believe everything you hear?" asked Kenji with somewhat a feeling of relief.

"Well, do you like her, does she like you?" asked Zutho with a giggling grin.

Kenji was silent as he knew that this was making things awkward for him, he tried his best to look like this didn't affect him but wondered if Zutho actually knew anything else or if he was bluffing.

"You know when you ask a question you want an answer to but find out you really don't want an answer to it because you shouldn't ask questions you don't want to know the answer to." said Kenji looking a bit confident.

"Maybe your right." said Zutho. "Do you think you could help me with something?"

"What do you have in mind?" asked Kenji curiously.

Zutho looked behind him and looked back at Kenji, he made a gesture with his paw to tell him to follow him. Zutho walked off while Kenji followed. Terk and Tantor almost made it to see him but Kenji was already out of sight once again.

"So what are you needing me for? If your having trouble with anything, I know a few things to fix the problem." asked Kenji.

"It's a bit complicated if you know what I mean." said Zutho as he smiled evilly.

As they got a little further in the jungle, they stopped and Zutho turned to face Kenji, he looked around and saw no one but them.

"I probably shouldn't say this but I know another thing about you." said Zutho trying to look innocent.

"You know about how I got here?' said Kenji as he felt nervous again.

Zutho shook his head and motioned his finger to him to make Kenji come closer and Kenji got closer to him. Zutho began to start whispering something in his ear.

"I know about your strange powers." whispered Zutho in his ear.

This made Kenji feel fear from what ever he knew, as he stood up straight once more, his heart raced from fear and nervousness. Two other male mandrills showed up as they had been hearing this too.

"How long have you known?" asked Kenji looking cautious.

"Since yesterday, although, if you have control over it, than why not put it to good use?" said Zutho.

Now Kenji felt his fear and nervousness disappear and was replaced by confusion, what other use did Zutho have in mind.

"You could use it with an iron first, people would bow down to your power if you used it against them." said Zutho as he had a sly look on his face.

"I don't want to use my power for that." said Kenji as he disapproved of the idea.

Kenji was about to leave as he turned around to walk away but Zutho jumped clean over his head and landed on the ground, turning to face the young human as he blocked his way.

"Are you afraid to use your power in front of them? Do they know you have that?" asked Zutho trying to get a rise out of him.

"I already told Kala and we informed them in ways they understood, at least we managed to help them understand what it was." said Kenji as he tried to get around Zutho.

Kenji managed to get around Zutho and walked off but Zutho knew he wasn't going to let him leave so soon.

"Your lying, your hiding something and you don't want anyone to know, I bet your afraid everyone will know your a freak." said Zutho with an evil grin.

Kenji stopped and turned to face Zutho, he had a look of anger on his face as he took a few steps at Zutho and the other two male mandrills.

"You can't prove anything, you don't know me." said Kenji pointing a finger at him.

"I know your hiding something, you don't want the others to know, I bet you lied to them." said Zutho teasing him. "Your powers probably made you a freak, I bet some of them are calling you a monster behind your back."

"A freak show." said one of the other male madrills.

Terk and Tantor finally caught up with Kenji from a distance and saw Zutho, seeing Zutho was bad news if anyone was near him since he was known for being a bully and very mean. Kenji was starting to feel like Zutho was emotionally abusing him, he wondered if Zutho knew anything about him that he didn't tell Tarzan and the others.

"They do not do that." said Kenji as he growing angrier. "They all understood and they showed it."

"And you believed them? What a dumb little freak and an ugly one at that." teased Zutho as he was starting to laugh.

Terk and Tantor saw this and looked shocked but angry, knowing that Kenji has been emotionally vulnerable since his fight with Tublat and knew that Zutho and his friends were only making it worse.

"I'll go get Tarzan and he can put a stop to this." said Tantor as he went to go get Tarzan.

Terk stayed to make sure she could do something about this as she went over to Kenji to make Zutho and his friends stopped bullying poor Kenji.

"Kenji is a freak, Kenji is a freak." said Zutho and his friends in a sing song voice.

"Zutho, Gozan, Hungo, you better stop bullying Kenji right now." said Terk as she came over to them.

Zutho, Gozan and Hungo saw Terk coming over to Kenji's side but Zutho knew that he had to be more manipulative in order to convince them to keep their mouths shut.

"Oh yeah, what are you going to do about it, you know he's a freak with them powers of his, freaks don't belong anywhere." said Zutho looking spiteful.

"A freaky, freaky show." teased Gozan and Hungo in a sing song voice.

"Just because he's different doesn't make him a freak." said Terk defending Kenji.

"Than how do we know he isn't lying to you and everyone about something, maybe he did something evil years ago and doesn't want to tell anyone, maybe I should tell everyone he's lying." said Zutho shooting back with a malicious look. "They won't love a freak, how can anyone love a freak?"

Hearing Zutho, Gozan and Hungo's words now hurt Kenji to the heart, he let out a heavy sigh as if he was about to break down and Zutho was aware of Kenji being at his mercy but Terk knew that what Zutho said had hurt Kenji's feelings. Terk saw Kenji was hurting and she had an angry look glaring at Zutho.

"Now look what you did, you bullied and teased him till he cried." said Terk looking stern.

"What are you going to do, hit me?" said Zutho starting to laugh.

Zutho laughed at Kenji's misfortune that he felt amused about, but than a strong rage kicked into Kenji and the young human slapped Zutho, Gozan and Hungo across their faces with a hard slap, it wiped the evil looks off the mandrill's faces.

"Go fuck yourselves, you red faced, baboon butts." said Kenji looking angry.

Kenji suddenly gave the three mean mandrills one final slap to their faces but it was a harder slap, than Kenji ran off.

"Run freak show, wait till they find out you said a swear word." teased Zutho with a comeback.

"What's going on?" came a female voice.

Terk, Zutho, Gozan and Hungo turned to see Tantor was back but he brought Tarzan and Kala. Terk went over to Tarzan, Kala and Tantor.

"Auntie K, Zutho and his friends were bullying and teasing Kenji till he cried, calling him names, making fun of him just because they he was different." said Terk telling Kala.

"I saw them do it." said Tantor.

Kala made her way towards Zutho, Gozan and Hungo and she looked angry and stern.

"Mr. Zutho, you and your delinquents are in big trouble." said Kala as she didn't look happy.

The three mandrills looked terrified of Kala, especially Zutho since he had remembered the last time Kala dealt with him when he did something that was mean to Tarzan and others.

"They're lying to you, ma'am." said Zutho as he lied.

"I'm on to you three, there's no excuse for such miserable behavior, what you did to Kenji hurt him, does any of your mothers know your behaving this way again." said Kala as she crossed her arms.

Knowing that Kala was going to tell Zutho, Gozan and Hungo's mothers was something that terrified them.

"Don't tell her." said the three mandrills terrified.

Kala knew that Zutho, Gozan and Hungo were guilty for what they did to poor Kenji. Kenji was hurting from the cruelty Zutho and his friends inflicted on him and everyone who knew Zutho, Gozan and Hungo did that to him were not happy. Zutho, Gozan and Hungo were in big trouble with their moms now that Kala told their mothers and the three male mandrills got the punishment that their mothers gave them. Although, everyone was now wondering how to help heal Kenji's emotional wounds. They didn't know who was feeling more sorry for Kenji, Kala, Tantor, Tarzan, Jane, Professor Archimedes, anyone else in Tarzan's herd or Terk.
