Konga walked pass the burning village and up the fiery mountain to confront the second dragon, they fought each other near the center of the volcano and then they toppled on the side of it, while the biplane flew towards them, the Chief stated that that was the fire-breathing dragon from legend and when he asked about the great monkey, Skipper, the pilot, answered that it was Konga. As the plane was flying towards the 2 giants, the co-pilot pulled out a rifle to shoot the dragon but they had to turn away because the dragon's breath, the plane turned back Konga was beat senseless, Skipper was told to turn back but he could not do it fast enough and the dragon was about to burn it, but just as the plane was about to perish to the fire dragon, Konga punched the beast and threw him into the volcano, retreated back into the fiery depths, and Iela waited for the outcome and Konga emerged the victor.
