From a 3rd Person Perspective
Mei watches as the distance between MK's fist gets closer but Macaque leaps in and holds off MK.
Macaque: Alright, Mei. I hope this plan works.
Macaque battles MK in the sky but he gets punched by him. When he recovers, he sees MK activating his laser eyes. He uses his shadow clone to protect himself. The clone tries to speak before it disintegrates.
Macaque: Ah! Kid! You have to come to yourself! You can do this! Throw her out! Ah! MK! Come on! You are not her puppet! We believe in you! You have to do! Ah! The world needs you! Your friends need you! Your mentor needs you! I need you! (This is not a ship) Please! Ah!
Mei and LBD talk before Macaque and MK land.
LBD: No matter what you do, you cannot change the path of destiny.
Mei: Will you stop saying "destiny" every minute?! No, so you know we're going to beat you, why do you keep using the word destiny to cover it up? Anyway, I'm not going to talk to you about it. I'll try to remove that staff. How heavy can it be? (She grabs MK's staff but can't pull it out.) Come on! (She tries to pull it from the ground.)
LBD: Oh, sweet girl. Can't you see? MK couldn't beat me. What can you hope to accomplish when he has failed? (In the corner of her eye, Mei sees Macaque has been thrown to the ground in defeat and MK is coming for her.) Cast aside your stubbornness and face your demise with honor.
Mei: You really believe that destiny can't be changed, you wouldn't be using every ounce of power you have to keep him contained! (Up close, LBD is revealed to be breaking under her control). The MK I know will never stop fighting you. And neither will I.
MK leaps at her to deliver the final blow but snaps out of her hold and grabs the staff instead.
MK: Thanks for not giving up on me, Mei.
LBD: No!
MK: Time for the hero stuff. (Together, they lift the staff out. MK tosses off her spiritual hold. Down in the mech, the spiritual avatars disappear.) Ugh! I can still feel her crawling under my skin.
Mei: (She hugs him.) I'm glad you're back.
Macaque: Uh, guys? Now that MK's not under her control.
MK&Mei: Oh, no!
LBD: Predictably unpredictable fools! I'm not one to rush destiny but I won't be undone by a troop of headstrong simians!
Mei: Hey, İ' m not a monkey!
MK: She's talking about the Monkey King, Mei.
Mei: Oh, right.
(She summons her Bone Demon powers, freeing the Little girl in the process. Macaque catches her.
LBD: If Sun Wukong will not give me the Samadhi Fire willingly, then I will rip it from him!
Monkey King screams as the LBD's force unexpectedly comes through him and he loses control. MK and Mei are thrown off the mech.
MK: Monkey King!
İn the mech
Red Son: Go! I'll get through to him! Somehow.
Pigsy grabs Sandy and Tang and they join the fall with the others. They land and watch her activate the Bone mech.
LBD: MK. If you had never found that staff, none of this would have been possible. A delivery boy to the end.
MK walks up to the mech.
Pigsy: Kid- (Macaque stops them.)
LBD: Now watch as I fulfill my destiny and begin this world anew! No Monkey King, no Monkie Kid! Nothing! (She laughs but then gasps as she sees that MK had created his Monkey Mech to block the fire.) No!
Tang: MK!
Pigsy: That's my boy!
Mei: Yeah! Hit her ass MK!
LBD No. No! I will not be stopped by a foul, insignificant creature! You would allow this world to continue to fester and rot, the eternal misery of countless souls because of your sentimentally for mortal pleasures?!
MK: You can't judge things by their worst qualities!
Tang: This world might not be perfect but it's still worth fighting for!
Pigsy: Yeah! Sometimes it's that little bit of char that makes for a more flavorful meat, even if it is a bit tangy.
Mei: This world is not perfect, but it doesn't matter when my loved ones are with me.
Mo: Meow.
Sandy: You said it, Mo. The world may be full of darkness but to let the light shine, all we need to do is stand together!
The team has tapped into their powers and joins in to create a celestial mech.
MK: The perfect world is what we make it. So as long as I have my friends by my side, this world! Is! Perfect!
LBD: A child's notion! I will not indulge it!
Down below, Red Son has broken into the crystal.
Red Son: Don't you give up on me, Uncle Wukong! The Samadhi Fire is not her power! It's yours! Bend it to your will! Don't use the flame, Sun Wukong!
Monkey King: Be the flame.
He breaks out of Lady Bone Demon's hold and spirals down her mech towards MK.
LBD: What?!
Monkey King: Hey, bud! Ya miss me?
MK: Huh? Monkey King?!
Red Son: Yeah, I-I'm here too, by the way.
Monkey King&MK: Let's end this!
Tang uses chi to free everyone from LBD's hold. The powers from various demons come together and the size of the celestial mech grows. MK creates a celestial staff. Ne Zha attaches Fire Wheels to the celestial mech.
MK: Here! Comes!
Everyone: Monkie!
LBD: No! (She creates a barrier.) You will not take my destiny from me!
Everyone: Kid!
They smash through her barrier, destroying her and the mech.
MK finds himself in a white room. He turns around and sees LBD.
LBD: Save your hero speech, child. I've existed long enough to know when it's over.
MK: You still think the universe really wants anything from any of us?
LBD: Don't you?
MK: I try not to think too hard.
LBD: So it would seem. (She comes to MK.) Know this, Monkey. You and I are not so different. We both fight for what we think is right. That pursuit only leads to one thing.
MK: Mhm. To destiny, right?
LBD: No. To pain.
She fades away and MK ponders on what she meant.
The gang has regrouped around a fire somewhere on a mountain.
Sandy: A hearty meal rich in macro-nutrients is just what the body needs to refuel after battle.
Ne Zha: Couldn't have said it better myself.
Macaque: (He appears behind MK.) You were done with that, right?
MK: Well, actually I-
Monkey King: (He grabs the bowl.) He was saving that for me, 'cause you know, I'm his mentor! (He speedily gobbles up the noodles.)
Macaque: Still the same Wukong, doing whatever he wants with no regard for others.
Monkey King: Mm, yeah! I'll keep that in mind next time you scheme with the enemy and almost get us all D-E-D!
MK: Uh, you know you two are the same, right?
Monkey King&Macaque: I'm nothing like him!
Monkey King: Hey! Where do you think you're going?
Macaque: Don't know. Somewhere where I can do a bit of scheming, probably. See you around, MK.
He falls through a portal.
Monkey King: I hate that guy so much! Always acting like he's so cool! (He gobbles up the rest of the noodles.) I know I can never make it up to you. Honestly, I-I never thought I'd live as long as I have, let alone be someone's mentor. Turns out, I'm not very good at it. I guess what I'm trying to say is... I'm sorry, MK. For all of it.
MK: It's okay. I can always get another bowl of noodles.
Monkey King: What?! No! Not the noodles! I mean I'm sorry for being a bad mentor and making you clean up after my mess.
MK: I know. Sometimes I just play dumb to lighten the mood.
Monkey King: (He laughs.) Me too, bud. Me too.
They hug and watch the scenery together.
It's another day at Pigsy's Noodles.
Pigsy: (He rings a bell.) MK! Order up!
MK: On it, boss! (He steals a dumpling out of Tang's hand.)
Tang: What?! H-Hey!
Tang speaks from the other side as MK delivers the noodles.
Tang: (Narrating.) The curious thing about legends is the way we continue to be moved by the same stories. We're comforted by familiar tales of friendship, courage, redemption. At times, the path of the hero might seem unclear and the story's chaotic and directionless. Sometimes it may seem as though we've ended up back where we began but it's clear to see how much we've grown on the journey. For although the story is over, there's always room on the shelf for another. The End. Pretty good. I think that's pretty good.
Out of view from MK and Monkey King, a mysterious scroll opens.
Thank you for reading. We have come to the end of this 6-part story. Good day/evening.
