"It was then when the Lady Bone Demon played her final move. Even with the combined might of the Monkie Kid and the Monkey King, their all was simply not enough. The villain was victorious, plunging the world into darkness. Now, any chance of hope lies in the hands of a monkey, and a kid who wishes he was a monkey." Tang wrote in his journal, documenting the previous events that happened not too long ago. MK groaned, leaning on the rail on the front of the flying ship.
"Mr. Tang, would you quit it?" The journal was then suddenly snatched from Tang's hands. His pen fell out of his hands as looked at his empty hands. Tang gasped in astonishment and anger, shaking. Pigsy held his journal with a scowl, looking at the man.
"You've been reading your diary out loud literally all day. You're bummin' everybody out!"
"Hey! It's not a diary, I'm writing the next chapter! And very well too, I might add." Y/N looked at Tang weirdly, as he flipped one of the pages that showed a drawing of Tang and Monkey King in a heart. Y/N was sitting next to Monkey King, who was being having the top of his head wrapped in bandages by Mei. Pigsy looked at his hand and realized he's wasn't holding the journal. Monkey King then decided to chime in.
"Hey, as long as he wrote down that whole bit with me fighting Nezha-" Monkey King held up the scroll in his hand. "-and getting this bad boy, then we're good." He laughed, squirming, making Mei harshly tighten the bandages around his head. Y/N sighed, and rested her head on one of her hands. She hoped Nezha was okay after his fight with Monkey King. She knew he could take a lot, but this was the immortal Sage he fought.
"I mean, the bit with the omelet thing, pretty cool." MK commented, as Y/N deadpanned at him.
"Yeah, right? It was totally cool. Ha! Okay-" He opened his arms out. "-gather around, everyone. It's Monkey King story time!" Everyone walked over, and either stood or sat in a small circle in front of him, as he opened the map. Y/N slightly scooted forward to see the map, her eyes scouring over it as the sage spoke. "So, I know what happened back there kinda sucked."
"Mega sucked." Mei interjected, making Y/N slightly giggle.
"Mega sucked. But the ol' Great Sage had a trick or two up his sleeve." Pigsy grunted at his statement, looking away. Monkey King looked at him before he was going to continue, but the wind had gotten stronger, jerking the flying ship. The crew were caught off guard, and fell back.
Y/N fell down, her breath hitching as she fell. She heard the sound of a small clicking and looked behind her. The sound was the spectral konomochi was bouncing toward the railing. She panicked, as crawled towards it, trying to catch it. It kept bouncing between her fingers, getting closer and closer to the railing. It bounced between the railing, falling off the edge, before Y/N caught it just before it fell off the ship.
The map covered MK's face, before flying off. Fortunately, MK caught it, and the winds had calmed. They place a piece of metal on it this time, making sure it wouldn't fly off again.
"Yeah, so you said you were looking for a weapon?" MK asked Monkey King.
"Yup."
"And? Did you find it?" Pigsy asked.
"Nope. But this map is gonna help us track it down." He gestured to the map, before looking serious. "It's called the Samadhi Fi-"
"The Samadhi Fire!" Tang finished his words with a huge smile on his face and stars in his eyes.
"Yeah, that." His face soon turned serious again. "The most powerful force I've ever seen."
"Powerful enough to destroy the Lady Bone Demon?"
"Mhm."
"But what is it?" Monkey King was about to answer, but they all saw Tang shaking with eagerness and excitement. Monkey King sighed.
"Go on then." Tang beamed, before clearing his throat and pushing up his glasses.
"Hoo-hoo, okay! Ahem. Legends speak of a flame so powerful that nothing could put it out. Not even the Great Sage himself."
"That's right. The Samadhi Fire burned out of control. The only way to contain it was by splitting it into pieces, and scattering them so their flames could never be reforged." Y/N lean forward curiously, waiting to hear more, before MK interrupted.
"So, you just tossed around a bunch of fires instead of one?" Monkey King groaned at his successor.
"And we put the pieces into three rings so they cause no further harm. Come on, do I have to spell everything out?" Everyone looks at MK, who's face started to shrink, while sweat dropping. Monkey King's eye twitched, before sighing. Y/N sighed as well. Classic MK move.
"Now, that the Lady Bone Demon has the staff and your powers, she's too much for us to handle. We can't stop her, she's going to destroy... well, everything." Sandy then appeared out of nowhere, surprising all of them.
"So, find the rings, combine them, and then what? You said the Fire of Somewhatsi couldn't be controlled."
"Samadhi."
"Yes, you did say that."
"Yep, I heard him. I heard it too." Pigsy and Tang simultaneously agreed.
"Hey, if Monkey King thinks this can work, then it'll work! We can do this." MK encouraged, and Y/N nodded.
"Yea, I think we can trust him."
Monkey King turned at the two with a smile.
"Yes! That's more like it!" He ruffled both MK and Y/N's hair, before a blast fired down on the ship. A jet flyer emerges from behind it. A purple one. Y/N looked at it with wide eyes. That could only mean one thing. Macaque was here.
"The Lady Bone Demon?! How did she catch up to us already?!" Pigsy yelled, as the ship started to rock violently.
"Oh no." Monkey King groaned. Y/N tried to balance herself, while still looking up at the purple jet. This was going to be awkward.
"Oh, Wukong!" She heard him laugh, snapping her out of her thoughts. A blast was shot, making everyone jump out of the way. Y/N just managed to land on her feet, and grabbed onto the railing tightly.
"Macaque?!" MK yelled, as Monkey King planted his feet onto the dock, sliding to a stop.
"Oh, that's a relief. I thought it was someone important."
"Heh, always the comedian. Hey kiddo, hey Y/N, ya miss me?"
"No! Guys, get us outta here!" MK ordered, making Tang and Mei nod. Monkey King grabbed Y/N and pulled her behind him, blocking her from Macaque's sight. Macaque laughed, before angrily scowling.
'Well, that was a quick mood change.'
Y/N thought, before grabbing tightly onto Monkey King's robe as the ship dogged all of the shot fired.
"Monkey King, you've gotta do something!"
"So... yeah, I'd love to, but I kinda sort of used the last bit of my powers getting this." Monkey King pointed at the map. The jet quickly caught up, blasting more shots at the front of the ship. Macaque continued to fire at both of them before disappearing in the dark purple clouds. Y/N looked around as his voice echo throughout the sky.
"Hoo hoo, looking a little banged up there, Monkey King. The kids too. Looks like our old friend, the Lady Bone Demon, really did a number on you guys." Monkey King put an arm in front of Y/N, as Macaque laughed.
"So what? You're her puppet now? I mean, makes sense. You did always have a side-kick kinda vibe." Y/N looked at him incredulously, as he taunted Macaque. The jet then emerged behind the sky, swooping down in between them. They all ducked low, Monkey King pulling Y/N down with him, before the jet flew back into the sky. Monkey King's eyes widened suddenly, before quickly pushing Y/N away, before Macaque pounced on him.
They rolled onto the ground, as Y/N fell back. Her left leg then exploded in pain as she landed on it weirdly. Great, and just when she thought it was getting better. She tried standing on it, and while it did hurt, she was able to somewhat stand on it. The next thing she knew she saw Monkey King being held down by Macaque's clones, and MK being held by the neck in the air. She stared in shock. She had to do something, but she didn't know what. There was nothing she could use to help around her. A shadow clone soon summoned behind her, grabbing her and holding her in place.
"The three of you are such a mess. I can't imagine why the Bone Demon wants me to bring you back." He glanced at Y/N. "Especially you, what could she want with a child." He soon turned to MK. "Look at you, you're all used up." He was about to slam MK onto the ground, when a blast was shot at him. He dodged and the blast destroyed the Shadow Monkeys holding down Monkey King. Macaque looked back and saw Mei, holding her green sword. "Interesting." She continued to blast at him, only for him to dodge every blow. He landed on the railing, as MK, Monkey King, and Y/N stood behind Mei.
"You want to get to my monkeys and gummy, you gotta go through me first!" Macaque laughed, walking along the railing.
"Ah, you must be the Dragon Girl I've heard so little about." He jumped down from the railing as he continued to slowly walk closer to them. "Little girl, you can shoot me all you want. It won't do you any good." Mei growled, but MK slid in front of her, holding a metal pipe.
"Maybe not. But hey, you want to make an omelet, sometimes you gotta break a few engines."
...
"Uh, what?"
Y/N turned over to Monkey King, who just gave her a confused shrug.
"I-I don't know. I thought it was cool. Just- whatever!" MK threw the piece of metal at Macaque, who casually dodged it.
"Whoa, didn't see that one coming." Macaque mocked, as it flew into one of the engines, which exploded, tipping the flying drone over. Macaque went flying off the ship. Y/N knew it was a bad time, but she snorted as he flew off. He looked like he was trying to swim in the air. Y/N was clinging to Monkey King as he planted his feet onto the railing from the ship tipping over.
"Kid, why did you-"
"Uh, well yeah, I-I was trying to do you in the omelet story. Do the weird, impulsive Monkey King thing and escape the bad guy?"
"Well, I mean, Nezha ain't really a bad guy, but... did you forget about the part where I got really hurt?" At this point, all the engines had caught on fire.
"Hold onto your bricks, everyone!"
Sandy's voice was muffled in Y/N's ears as she stared in horror at the ocean they were falling towards. She clung onto Monkey King's robe even tighter, bracing for the moment they hit the water.
