Warning: Violence, maybe suggestive??? Again, IDK
So much flirting and fluff that I'm getting cavities
"Please tell me that this isn't the kind of nonsense you two do with the kids," Pigsy deadpanned, himself standing next to a similarly deadpanning Macaque, the duo both watching as Wukong walked around, pulling up grass and dirt in search of...something.
"Nowhere close," The shadow king sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose, tail flicking in irritation. "In fact, I have no idea what on earth he's even doing."
"Great, just great," The chef facepalmed, as Mo patted his head sympathetically--Macaque honestly thought that the cat was smarter than he looked--and meowing. "While my husband has been kidnapped by some strange demon, and potentially getting eaten, we're out here gardening."
"Wukong," The tanned monkey's voice caught his husband's attention, who immediately zipped over with the same loving gaze he'd had on since waking up, nuzzling affectionately into the taller simian's cheek.
"Yes, my darling Liùěr?~" Monkey King cooed, wrapping their tails together.
"Peaches," Macaque knew he'd have to play along, if they were going to get anywhere, sighing internally upon seeing his partner melt further at the affectionate nickname. "Mind telling us what you're doing? I mean, we're supposed to be looking for Ta--your master, right? So why are you playing in the dirt?"
Pulling back, the ginger furred demon gave a cocky smirk, "Oh Míhóu, I'm not playing in the dirt, I'm searching for the local Tu-dee!~"
Macaque paled at this, "I-I see...and, are you absolutely sure that you need to talk to one?"
"Positive!~" The golden eyed king puffed out his chest in pride, before kissing the shadow demon's cheek and rushing off to continue his search. "Just watch! I'll show you how great of a partner I am!~"
"Alright then..." Trailing off, the dual eyed monkey groaned once Wukong was out of earshot. "We're doomed."
"Mind cluing us in?" Pigsy spoke up, walking over and giving his friend a curious look. "What's a 'Tu-dee'?"
"Tu-dee are local mountain spirits, who have the knowledge of everything that goes on within said mountain area," Macaque explained, trying to push down the oncoming headache. "Unfortunately, this leaves them with a lot of stories, and a tendency to trail off without getting to the point...and seeing as my husband has a knack for getting distracted easily..."
"Oh great," The chef threw his hoofed hands up in exasperation. "We're never going to find Tang!"
"Not necessarily," The puppeteer hummed out, tail flicking in thought. "Tu-dee can be a useful asset...so long as we keep them on track."
"There you are!~" Wukong's cheerful voice caught the duo's attention, who turned to see the small mountain spirit happily greeting the ginger demon. "Great Tu-dee, our master has been captured by a ferocious demon and we fear for his safety! Do you have any idea of where we might find this creature?"
Tu-dee began to chatter on, with Macaque quickly stepping in, "Honorable Tu-dee, while we appreciate the storytelling, right now is not a good time...may we please get the location of the demon's home?"
Stopping, the spirit gave a nod and spoke once again, motioning to a strange shape in the distance which--upon further inspection--turned out to be the outline of a castle.
"Thank you great one," Our dear shadow mother bowed thankfully, corralling Monkey King away before the simian could ask for a story from the spirit, with Pigsy and Mo quick to follow. "Perhaps we can listen to your stories another time!~"
Waving them farewell, the spirit disappeared back into his hole, as the four made their way up towards the castle, with Macaque, Pigsy and Mo all sighing in relief at the quick resolution.
且_(・-・)且_(・-・)且_(・-・)且_(・-・)
"So, what's your plan for getting in there?" The noodle chef hummed, looking over at Wukong and Macaque, only to yelp in shock when he was suddenly being dragged alongside the aforementioned tanned simian, the swine screaming as Monkey King bashed a hole into the castle wall.
Landing gracefully, the ginger and black furred demons faced off against--what looked like--a woman in royal garbs, with Macaque quickly catching Pigsy, before the poor male could face plant into the floor, Mo having rested upon Wukong's head.
"Unhand our master evil demon!" Monkey King growled, pointing his 'staff' at the woman, glaring her down. "I am Sun Wukong, and the monk is under my protection!"
"Protection from what?!" The greenette sneered, before making an alluring looked. "A beautiful queen?~"
"Look lady," Pigsy snapped, his patience having long since worn thin. "We are not going to let you eat my hus--our master!!"
"I would NEVER!!" The queen snarled back, standing up from where she sat on the table, and glaring straight back at the chef.
"Oh really?" Wukong smirked, before putting an arm up and going to snap his fingers. "Then why all the illusions?!"
Snapping his fingers, a blast of golden magic turned the servants into scorpions, and forced the 'queen' into her true form...a centaur-like demoness with the upper half of a woman, and the lower half of a scorpion.
Tang looked mortified.
"Okay, fine, fine! I'm a demon, okay?! Happy?!" The demoness shouted angrily, having gotten off the table and storming over to where the 'rescue party' was standing. "I just wanted to be a beautiful queen but fine I'm a demon!"
Seeing Pigsy panic over the scorpions crawling all over him, Macaque was kind enough to brush them off, before sighing and picking off the ones who'd opted to latch onto Wukong with the pinchers as well.
"So, just to be clear, eating me, won't make you immortal," Tang spoke up nervously, as the scorpion woman picked him up with her stinger tail.
"Ye--mmph!"
Our dear shadow user made sure to cover his husband's mouth, before the ginger could say anything stupid.
"I already said this," The demoness screamed. "I don't. want. to eat. anyone!!"
"Then...can we go?" The scholar asked hopefully.
"No!" The woman growled. "You have to stay here! FOREVER!!"
"Don't worry master!" Macaque forgot how easily Wukong could slip out of his grasp back in the early days, having gotten rusty once Ming was in the picture. "Here! Comes! Monkey King!~"
Slamming the 'staff' down against the Scorpion Queen's pinchers, our dear simian king's weapon broke into pieces...revealing it to just be a walking stick.
Yeah...
"My staff!" Wukong whimpered, holding the remnants of his precious weapon, before growling and lunging at the demon lady, who was forced to let Tang go to confront the ginger monkey.
"Tang! You okay?! Did she hurt you?! Lock you up?!" Pigsy worriedly ran up to his husband, who seemed perfectly fine, for being held hostage by a demon...again. And the noodle lover's partner seemed to notice this, as the pig demon deadpanned after smelling the food on his human husband's breath. "She kept giving you noodles so you wouldn't leave."
"You should really get the recipe," Holding up a bowl, both Macaque and Pigsy sighed and shook their heads, ignoring the raging battle going on the background.
"Maybe after we stop this fight Tang," The lantern user hummed, slamming his foot down on the floor and summoning forth shadows to bind both the demons--scorpion and simian--to the ground. "That's enough you two, calm down."
"Ma-Mac! Let me go!" Monkey King growled, struggling to try and break free. "I need to finish off this witch once and for all!"
"Witch?!" SQ sneered, herself also struggling. "I'll show you a witch!!"
"Listen, we get that you're alone," Tang spoke up, stepping forwards, but still remaining close to Macaque...just in case. "But lying about who you are, forcing people to be your friend...it isn't right."
"I've been here, alone, for so long," Scorpion Queen sniffed, looking away in shame. "And when I overheard your conversations with one another, and heard how close you all were, I wanted some of that so badly that I...I stole you away."
Letting both demons go, Macaque patted his scholar friend on the shoulder, encouraging him to continue, "Then try making new friends. I mean, this valley is so big that there's got to be plenty of spirits and demons who'd want to be friends with you, right?"
"I...I never thought about that..." The demoness frowned, fiddling with her fingers. "I just assumed, that everyone would be too afraid of me, and would run away."
"It never hurts to try," Tang smiled, patting the lady demon's hand in a comforting manner, much like he'd do with MK and Mei in the past.

After having resolved the issue, the group--Tang, Pigsy, Wukong, Macaque and Mo--were seen to be getting ready to leave and find the kids, whilst also trying to figure out a way to return Monkey King's mind back to the current era.
"We could always try bonking him on the head, like you suggested earlier," Tang hummed aloud, as they all watched the ginger monkey go through MK's art book, awing at the accuracy of the drawings.
"I highly doubt there's anything in this world, strong enough to hurt that thick head of his," Macaque deadpanned, shaking his head.
"Ohhh Míhóu!~" Wukong ran over to the group, motioning for Macaque to lean down a bit, the tanned monkey obliging his husband, who'd begun to whisper in his ear.
Tang and Pigsy watched in curiosity, which quickly turned to worry, as whatever Monkey King was whispering in the shadow demon's ear, seemed to fluster six-ears so much that you couldn't tell his marking from his natural skin color, and his tail had puffed up, steam erupting from the poor simian's ears.
Both scholar and swine jumped as Macaque suddenly swung at Wukong, who went flying into the nearest tree with a flash of golden light bursting upon impact with the wood.
Shaking his head, the walking ginger-root groaned and looked over at the trio of males in confusion, "What...what's going on? Mac, why are you so red? You okay?"
Latching onto his--now returned to normal--husband with a hug, the dual eyed king sighed in relief, "I'm just happy you're back to normal."
"What??"
