In ancient times, the leader of the demon clan, the Bull Demon King was arrogant and prideful and rebelled against Heaven. However, he eventually suffered the consequences and was knocked back to his original form. The heavenly king was compassionate and allowed him a way out. He was kind-hearted and demoted him to the mortal incarnation of Liu Jiu. Unexpectedly, a few years later, the demonic nature and memory in Liu Jiu's body were deliberately awakened by the traitor. Liu Jiu went to Kunlun alone to seek a solution. On the way, he met Ye Xiaoxiao, the princess of the Flame Mountain. The two shared weal and woe, and their love gradually grew. They met the little demon pig Dachang and the dog Shisan again, Liu Jiu wandered between good and evil several times, almost causing a catastrophe, but in the end, evil cannot prevail against good, and the conspiracy that had surrounded him since ancient times was solved.

Platonic yandere monkey family finding out y/n is dating redson
Tumblr media
Monkiefam reacts to dating Red Son
(Alternate Scenario)
MK will no doubt be the calmest about this situation... depending on the season. In the start, he’ll be incredibly upset (even somewhat betrayed) about you dating his very dangerous rival. Let’s not forget that Red Son was once very willing to harm innocent people in his quest to take over the world/please his father.
Once Early!MK learns about your relationship with Red Son he’s genuinely worried for you, thinking you might have been coerced into the relationship in some way. This fear sets him on the war path, racing off to the Demon Bull King’s fortress. He’ll unhesitatingly smash through hordes of Bull Clones, ripping apart the metal of the drones like wet tissue paper. Each machine-shattering swing of the Ruyi Jingu Bang brings him a step closer to you, a step closer to the dining hall that serves as the center room of the armored fortress.
Where he finds you and Red Son sitting across from one another, happily sharing a meal together.
His heart is struck with anger and relief in unison, his diametric emotions spread between the both of you. He’s furious at Red Son, for daring to try and court his precious sibling, but also eased by the fact that you’re clearly unharmed and here by your own will and volition. By nature of being someone very precious to him, you garner far less anger from MK than his rival does, but he’s still upset. His voice takes on a gruff edge as he angrily scolds you, sounding much like Pigsy does when the chef flips his lid.
“You came here?! Without telling me?! To go on a date with my rival?!”
Any protests, excuse, or explanations from you are summarily dismissed as he grabs you by the wrist, swinging his golden staff against the ground. Bits of tech and clutter from around the house gather together, forming a small mech with the both of you in the cockpit. Red Son can only stare in shock as MK’s brand new mech stomps out of the fortress, each angry step shaking the ground.
The ride home is tempestuous, his emotions flaring as he pilots the gold and red mech, biting his tongue to keep himself from yelling at you. He’s angry, sure, but he still loves you. MK doesn’t want to drive you away or hurt your feelings, after all. He just wants to keep you safe.
Even if it means cutting you off from your ‘boyfriend’. He’s only doing it for your own good, of course.
Tumblr media
Sun Wukong has seen people make a lot of bad decisions in his time. Even as knowledge and resources grow wider spread and more readily available, people stay foolish, small-minded, reckless. Sometimes by circumstance. Sometimes by choice. And one of the greatest motivators for foolish decisions, staying consistent through the centuries-
is love.
Love, whether fleeting and passionate or slow and drudging, changes people. It inspires them to perform grand gestures, to better themselves, to grow and learn. Love makes people into artists, writers, sculptors, all so that they can share with the world with the white-hot beat of their hearts.
And then, equal and opposite, it drives them to violence and bloodshed. Blood-red hands born of green-eyed envy driven to take up sharp knives and heavy cudgels. It breeds wicked plots and gruesome schemes, tricking people into throwing their lives away for a fleeting flame that’s destined to burn out.
Love is beautiful and dangerous in equal amounts, something to be both cherished and feared.
Sun Wukong has seen both outcomes. He’s personally dealt with tragedies born of love, many times over. Not every coupling ends with marriage and children, a ring and a promise.
His own sworn brother, Zhu Baije, was cast out of heaven for attempting to seduce Guanyin, being reborn as a pig demon. Then, he never returned to the maiden in Gao village that he fell for, instead spending his life as a cleanser of altar leftovers.
Kui Mulang was separated from his lover for his crimes, and forced to become a furnace keeper. Tang Sanzang refused to marry the queen of the Women’s Kingdom, and then rejected the scorpion demon that stole him away.
He doesn’t tell you all of that, of course. He nudges you with an elbow and gives you a cheeky grin, saying that: “It doesn’t always end well, bud. Trust me, I’ve seen more than a few things in my time that would have you running for a cloister.”
He doesn’t warn you off of love entirely, or threaten you to not start dating. In fact, he’s not entirely opposed to the idea of you having a significant other. He’s a pretty easy-going guy, even when he’s staring down his enemies or cracking skulls open.
In fact, depending on who you go after, he might be entirely supportive of you!
Red Son is not a decision he will abide by, unfortunately. There’s just too many flaws to count, in Wukong’s opinion. Short-tempered, egotistical, elitist, violent, power-hungry… nothing that qualifies him to be your partner, honestly.
So the Great Sage goes about trying to casually split the two of you up, whether it’s finding his way “by coincidence” into your dates, or crashing any meetings you and the demon have. What can he say? He gets around a lot more these days, doesn’t he? It’s not strange to meet up in popular places around Megapolis.
Even though he continues to show up wherever you and Red Son meet, no matter how “off the beaten path” or “hole in the wall” it may be. He’ll never justify himself or explain why he’s there. But he will grab a table and join the two of you.
He might not be outright sabotaging the relationship, but he sure makes it hard to maintain and grow. He won’t candidly ruin it, but he keeps pushing and pushing, slowly fraying your nerves. It’s a trap, where he’s trying to push you into snapping at him. And if you do fall for it?
It does get worse.
Try to lash out at him, or demand that he go away. Yell at him, or push him away. Try it, and he’ll throw you over his shoulder and hop onto his flying cloud, racing you back to Flower Fruit Mountain. From there, he’ll forbid you from being with Red Son again, grounding you for the outburst he intentionally provoked.
Watching you grow upset with his decree, Wukong will wipe away the tears gathering up in your eyes, and pull you into a hug to comfort you. He doesn’t want you upset. He just wants you to himself.
“It’s alright, bud. Don’t worry about that fire guy. He’s pretty awful, honestly. Let’s sit down and watch something fun to take your mind off him, alright?”
And; for now at least, he’s got you.
Tumblr media
No. Absolutely not. Macaque refuses to allow it. He doesn’t want to see you with anybody, but least of all a “hot-headed demon with daddy issues,” as he puts it. Where Wukong will show restraint by never outright ruining your dates and outings together, Macaque crosses that line unhesitatingly. Once he learns that you’re openly and happily dating a dangerous demon, he sets out to find you and rectify this little issue.
He stalks out to the park that you and Red Son are walking through, quietly following along as his glare burns into the demon’s back. His fury reaches a boiling point when the two of you settle onto a bench, Red Son’s hand slowly reaching out to yours.
He furiously stomps through the park, coming up behind the both of you. The shadows writhe and roil with each step he takes, coming alive to lash at the ground around them with ice-cold tendrils.
He summons up his shadow staff and swings it down, smashing the middle of the bench you and your boyfriend are sitting on to announce his presence, cleaving the metal cleanly and easily. You and Red Son both scramble to your feet, shocked and more than a little scared.
You specifically.
If there’s anything that gives him reason to pause, anything that stops him in his tracks, it’s the look of outright fear in your eyes. He takes a moment to catch his breath, dispelling his staff and quieting the rioting shadows. He’s still angry, sure. But he doesn’t want you to be afraid of him. So, even though he’s seething with fury, he stops short of actually harming Red Son, instead settling for dragging you away by your ear as you argue and protest his rough hold on you.
Macaque pulls you over to a shadow portal, still gripping your quickly-reddening ear between his thumb and pointer finger, pushing you in before him. He whips around to shoot Red Som a death glare, then turns back and jumps in after you.
You both pop out inside your shared house, Macaque’s foot tapping impatiently as he folds his arms, staring at you disapprovingly. You rub at your sore ear, glaring right back.
“No dating. I already told you this. One, you’re too young. Two, anyone could be an opponent in disguise. Three, he’s dangerous. Seriously, bad call. I thought you were smarter than this, kid.”
He goes silent when he sees the tears beading up in the corners of your eyes, maybe from pain, maybe from his lecture. He did just technically call you stupid. Macaque sighs, and pats your head.
“Look, just… go lay down. See if you can’t get some shut-eye, alright? I’ll check up on you when it’s time to eat.”
He sends you off to your room, spinning you around and nudging you off, sighing as you go. His powerful ears make it impossible to ignore your quiet sniffles and the sound of tears hitting the hardwood floors.
He’s not the bad guy here, he reminds himself. The bad guy is whoever’s trying to corrupt you or steal you away from him. Them, not him.
Never him.

Redson x Human Female Reader
Chapter 1.., , 2 , 3 NFSW , 4.. 5.., 6.. , 7.. ,
MASTER LIST | NSFW CONTENT
Tumblr media
You, Princess Iron Fan, and Redson all stood before the chest. The chains on it glowed blue and the eye sockets glowed the same color. In the center was a lock but the keyhole was strange-looking. You stood on Redson's right side, your hands in the pockets of your sweatpants, a worried look on your face as you stared at the ominous chest. The ground vibrated when Demon Bull King stepped up from behind you all. You watched as he approached the chest, an evil yet cocky smirk on his face as he looked down at it. He reached forward, his sharp nail barely making contact with the lock as he spoke in pride. "Finally." He said before a shining light shined and he was pushed back with a confused grunt.
You looked over at him in confusion and shock before you looked back over at the chest and you saw a blue seal appear for a second before it vanished once more. You blinked in question as you thought over the symbols but the sudden shout of demon bull king made you jump. He shouted in rage his eyes blank in blind rage as he punched the chest, the blue seal appearing once more allowing you to get a good look at it. You, Redson, and Princess Iron Fan watched silently as DBK's punches picked up speed before he began slashing at the seal with frustration. "ANOTHER INFERNAL OBSTICAL KEEPING ME FROM MY DESTINY!!" He shouted as he continued his angry punches. He landed one more punch on the seal before everything went quite.
You watched closely waiting for something to happen, but in the blink of an eye, Redson wrapped his arms around you and he held you tight to his chest as he shielded your body with his right before an explosion of DBK's power pushed out making all of his minions go flying as they screamed. Your eyes closed tight as you held onto Red tightly, you could feel the hot wind blowing past you making you hold on tighter to Redson. It was soon over, the winds settled down and the green light vanished. You didn't open your eyes until you felt Redson pulling back from you, you looked around seeing dust floating past you. You looked over at the chest seeing the blue seal still glowing before it vanished once more.
"Patients, My Love." Princess Iron Fan whispered, her voice still loud enough for you all to hear. You silently agreed with her, because you honestly didn't want that chest to get open. If the seal is that powerful, shouldn't whatever is inside stay there? But DBK didn't take her words in kind as he turned towards her quickly, his large fist balled up as he glared down at her in raw anger. "I'VE BEEN PAITCENT LONG ENOUGH!!" I NEED THAT POWER!!" He shouted as he stepped closer to her. She gasped at his sudden outburst, and you felt Redson tense up next to you, he hated watching his parents fight, and watching his father get all aggressive with his mother so suddenly must've made him get into a slight defensive mode. You rubbed his arm and shoulder in comfort as you both watched her cautiously eyed him as she walked around him and towards the chest.
She placed her hand on the lock, the blue seal appearing naturally, she stood there a little longer before she grunted in frustration. "The power that crafted this tomb, is beyond my skill." She spoke with a grunt as she poured power into the seal only to have it repaled. "Without an artifact of equal strength, there's nothing we can do." She said as she turned her back to the chest, a determined yet angry glare in her eyes as she looked up at DBK. "We're locked out." She finished. You stared at her with a worried look before you relaxed with relief. 'Thank goodness, now maybe they'll bury it and forget all about it.' You thought. You looked around, suddenly realizing that Redson wasn't next to you anymore. "NOT FOR LONG!!" Came his confident voice. You looked over at PIF and you sighed when you saw Red. 'Dammit Red.' You thought in annoyance. PIF stared at him with an unamused face and you honestly couldn't blame her.
You watched as he swiped his hand through the air, 'dramatically of course' making holograms of several screens appear. You'll never get over seeing it, it'll always be so cool when they do that. "All we need is a key." He explained, like it was the most simplest and most logical thing in the world, and apparently, it was just that simple. "And look what I found." He said, his voice laced with pride. You watched as several smaller yet visible pictures appeared showing off a location before the key appeared. You walked closer to the group, stepping past DBK as you stood next to Red. You eyed the strange key, seeing the strange shape of it. The skull at the bottom of it made you feel uneasy as you looked up at the chest, the skull's eye sockets glowed a brighter blue and the sound of whispering sounded through.
Tumblr media
You sighed in boredom for the thousandth time, scrolling through your phone, liking photos, laughing at videos, making funny short posts, reacting to weird videos and even reading some fanfiction. Your feet were up on the dashboard, your seat leaning back so you could be comfortable. You turned off your phone and you laid it down on your stomach. If you knew you were going to be this bored you would've taken your chance and stayed at the Bull Family home, cooped up in your room and trying to sleep. You rolled your eyes as you looked up at the building in front of you. "The Delivery Boy's apartment is honestly so depressing looking." You said aloud to yourself as you made idle observations of it for the hundredth time. You perked up when you saw an explosion. "Finally, looks like he finally got home." You said as you watched what little action you could see.
However, it didn't last long as you saw fire shoot up into the sky and the sound of Redson's laughter sounded out making you sit properly in your seat, adjusting it back to an upright position as you put your seatbelt on. By the time you got your seatbelt on, the truck heated up to an ungodly temperature as an orange glow lit up the truck. You looked up and you squinted at the bright orange flames of Redson as he came in through the diver's window. The flames morphed into his body and he flopped on the seat taking away the bright light and the heat with it. You sighed as the truck began cooling down watching Redson shift the truck into gear, his foot hitting the gas and he was off. He hummed a cute little tune, looking proud of himself as his other arm hung out the window. You watched in worry as the cars were pushed and spun out of the way as Redson plowed through the traffic.
You used to fuss him out about it and he isn't so prone to running others over as much as he used to, but he was in a rush this time around so you allowed him to get away with it this time. You looked out your side mirror and your eyes widened when you saw green lightning. You looked over at Redson, seeing that he hadn't noticed it yet. You gulped as you tightened your seatbelt, sticking your phone in your pocket as you readied yourself for the chaos that was sure to break out. "I should've stayed home." You muttered. Redson hummed at your words as he kept his eyes on the road. "Hmm, what was that darli- HUUG!!" He stopped mid-sentence as he just happened to look out his side mirror, doing a double take as he gasped dramatically at the scene behind him. You dared to look out your own side mirror, seeing the same motorcyclist from the race hovering in the air, her helmet gleaming in determination.
Redson leaned further out the window to look back at her so that he could rant to her. Your hand shot out and you instinctually grabbed the steering wheel to keep the truck stable. "CAN'T YOU AND YOUR LITTLE PEASANT FRIENDS LET ME PLOT IN PEACE, JUST ONE TIME!!?" He ranted, halfway threw he let go of the steering wheel, his anger clouding his judgment and you honestly couldn't blame him, it wasn't often that he took you with him on one of his little 'plans to dominate the world.' He could take these types of risks when he was alone, he was guaranteed survival since he was a demon, but you were just human, one mistake and it was all over. You kept a tight grip on the wheel before he turned back around and took back over the wheel. You pulled your hand away as you grabbed onto your seatbelt with an iron grip, flames shot from his eye sockets, making you nervous as you watched him press buttons on a yellow screen, shifting gears once more before his foot slammed down on the gas giving it more speed.
The speed of the truck made you sink back into your seat further as you watched the scene before you became a blurry mess. You screamed when the truck suddenly spun around, making you both drive backward. Your heart hammered away in your chest as you saw the motorcyclist before you, your eyes wide with fear as you looked into her dark helmet. She seemed to perk up at the sight of you, you waved but it didn't last long before you were distracted by Redson. "Take off your seatbelt, trust me you don't want to be in that seat for this." He said. You didn't question it as you took off your seat belt and you were immediately pulled into his lap. You didn't understand what was happening but you didn't question it as you got comfortable in his lap your arms locked around his neck. You looked back at your seat and you stared in confusion when it went above your head.
You looked up, seeing a hole where Redson's seat was before your seat pulled over closing the hole. You watched on in confusion your eyes shifting all around you as you heard metal shifting and unhending. Suddenly you both spun once more and you felt the truck bounce some before the entire truck suddenly went flying. You looked back over Redson's shoulder seeing the shell of the truck spin as it flew before it landed. You saw the motorcycle jerk out of the way and you sighed in relief. You didn't want to be in the area of a death, especially behind some old key. You looked around yourself and your brown arched. 'Isn't this... Redson's race car?' You thought. You looked over at Redson seeing him with his helmet on. 'Yup, it is.' You thought. He suddenly chuckled as he looked over his shoulder, he kept a hand over the steering wheel but it was still enough to make you nervous as you grabbed the steering wheel just in case.
"So long, Dragon... Horse girl... Hehehe, here's a tip, next time pick one animal in- OOF!!" "AHHHH!!" You screamed as a giant pole suddenly landed in front of the car causing you both to crash into it. You both went flying into the air still moving forward as you were lunched from the car. Fear gripped you at your throat as you watched the ground travel at a high speed below you. "I SHOULD'VE STAYED HOME!!!" You screamed as you neared the ground, but the feeling of strong arms wrapping around you snapped you from your fears as red covered your vision. Redson held you in his arms tightly trying to cover you as much as he could with his body as he skied and bounced along the ground. The sound of his breath huffing from his lungs made you cringe in worry as you clung to his coat, you grunted as you felt you both bounce off the ground, his body took the brunt of the force but it was still enough to give you aches and pains.
You and Redson finally landed with a harsh ski on the ground making him grunt as his grip on you tightened, the sound of metal clinging to the ground caught your attention and you looked up from his chest seeing the cursed key bounce a few feet in front of you. You glared at the cursed item, blaming it for all this mayhem. You flinched some in shock when two black shoes suddenly landed before you and a hand swiped the key up. "SO!! Looks like you've reached the end of the line, Redson." He said, you looked up at him, seeing the same guy from the race. "Delivery Boy." You muttered relief filling you as you watched him toss the key in his palm. You looked behind him and you saw the girl take her helmet off a frown on her face as she glared at Redson. She seemed to notice you, the look of relief on your face as you saw MK with the key made her arch her brow but she said nothing.
MK suddenly stopped tossing the key as he looked down at it curiously. "What were you even going to do with this thing anyway?" He asked. The blue chest came to your mind and you shuddered at the thought of it. There was a short silence among you all when a woman's voice sounded through suddenly. "Why spoil the surprise?" She said, you all jumped in surprise as you all looked over, seeing PIF standing on a small building. She seemed pleased as she gave a small smile as she pointed at the key.
"Now hand the key over, and quit wasting my time." She said, you all stared at her for a moment but it wasn't long before you heard the sound of the ground cracking under pressure before MK and Mei shot off over your and Redson's heads. PIF was quick to summon her fan, deflecting MK's attack from his pole. Mei jumped on the wall behind her, using MK as a distraction to try and get PIF from behind but she narrowly missed when PIF pushed MK back while also dodging her. They both pulled back for a moment before they both began attacking her, their movements like a blur before they suddenly stopped, the sound of a gong sounded out when their weapons clashed with the fan, and with a good swing, PIF was able to knock them both back into the building behind you and Redson making the key fall from MK's pocket.
The key bounced on the ground, landing in front of you and Redson, you stared at it in horror while Redson stared in glee as he hurriedly sat up, pushing you off with enough force to make you roll off of him as he scrambled for the key. You rolled on the ground for a second before you stood up, but it wasn't long before Redson grabbed your hand and rushed off with you toward his mother. PIF floated down gracefully, the winds surrounding her making her garments float. "Come Redson, we have things to do." She said as she stabbed her fan into the ground. Redson spun around letting your hand go in the process as you stubbled back behind him placing you between him and his mother. You and PIF watched him do a ridiculous pose as he shouted in victory. " THANKS FOR THE KEY, LOSERS!!" You gave him a sheepish smile while PIF shook her head before her winds picked up teleporting you all back to the lair.
Tumblr media
You stood next to Redson as the lair appeared around you all, the winds dissipated, and you looked around and saw DBK getting up from his throne an expectant glare on his face as he approached you all. You watched silently as PIF held her hand out to Redson and he gave her the key which she then gave to DBK. It was silent as he turned toward the ominous chest the key gleaming in his hand as he held it up for a moment before he placed it in front of the keyhole. You all watched as the key suddenly changed shape and it floated into the lock unlocking the chest. You all stared with bated breaths, You reached over and you grabbed Redson's arm, your fingers digging into the cloth of his sleeve. The blue seal appeared once more but this time it dissipated, but it wasn't long before the lock shattered and a bright light shone through as a powerful wind blasted out. You clung onto Redson tightly but it was pretty fruitless as he began to get pushed back.
He grunted as he clung to you tightly while he tried to fight against the wind but it was useless as he continued to slide back getting picked up by the wind, you both shouted in panic as you both went flying back. Just like before he tried to shield your body as much as he could with his as he bounced along the ground, luckily was wasn't such a long drop as he was able to get a grip on the stone below him. He held you close to him for a while until the wind calmed down, he loosened his grip on you allowing you to lay on your stomach while under him allowing you both to watch from a distance. The doors to the chest slid open and Redson stood up in curiosity to see what was inside, you lay there a little longer before you sat up on your knees. "Red... Be careful." You cautioned as you watched in wonder and worry. He continued to step towards the chest until he was next to it.
"B-bones?" He gasped out. You held your breath your hand coming up to your heart. 'It made sense now why Lady Iron Fan called it a 'Tomb'.' You thought. But Redson didn't seem to be bothered with it as he sounded rather upset. "I-it's just... bones!?" He said irritation laced in his voice as he spoke. You sat there for a moment, calming yourself down as you looked down at your lap. 'Guess I was worried about nothing.' You thought as you smiled tiredly, you were snapped from your thoughts when Redson suddenly shouted. "AHH!!" He shouted you looked up in worry as you watched him grunt in annoyance and disgust as he waved his foot around trying to get a blue light off his foot. You watched in curiosity as he fought with the blue blob. 'It looks like a soul kind of.' You thought as you watched it and Redson.
Redson stopped to take a breather as he gasped for air but he paused when he noticed his mother. You looked over at her, seeing her stare up into the air with a slightly worried stare. It made your heart skip a beat as you followed her gaze. You stared on in shock and confusion as you saw chunks of the chest floating in the air, blue markings all over the pieces. There was a sudden gust of wind but instead of pushing you back, it felt like it was sucking you in. You braced yourself on the rocks as you looked around for the source, your eyes widened when you saw it was DBK. He laughed evilly as the blue source was adsorbed into his power bank, the sight of the bull clones suddenly standing up with an unnatural movement caught your attention, you watched as their eyes turned blue almost soulless. You shivered in fear as you hugged yourself, backing up as you watched the scene unfold before you. "Aww man, I knew opening that box was a bad idea." You muttered.
You, Redson, and PIF watched as DBK Lost himself to glee in his newfound powers. The pieces of the chest floating around him, seemed to create a symbol but you couldn't make sense of it. You all watched as the bull clones all got up one by one, their blue soulless eyes staring you all down. The sound of his laughter could be faintly heard mixed with a whisper as it ran out around the caves.
"Freedom."

Okay this might sound weird but forbidden love trope with sun Wukong, macaque and redson, to be more specific maybe the readers family doesn't trust the monkey bois becuz of their past and for the redson maybe a family fued if you don't mind! Thanks~
Mhnn it's not weird at all ♡. It's adorable on how you think puhuhu~
❀ Got a secret, can you keep it? ❀
: Forbidden love life
: Sun wukong, Macaque, Red son x gn! Reader
: Fluff and a bit suggestive on Macaque's part, though, I don't think you'll mind~♡
Tumblr media
Sun wukong
Tumblr media
Your parents despise the monkey King with a burning passion
Even though he's know to be a heroic idol to many, that doesn't mean that he's a relatively good person
By that they mean that even if he's heroic, that doesn't change the fact that he's a childish mischievous trickster, completely irresponsible and just a nuisance
They don't want to tell you any stories about him for they fear that you'll idolize and be just like him
So imagine his shock when you confronted that you literally had no idea of him on one of your nightly dates
Utter silence, which was concerning cause this is WUKONG!
And then he won't stop babling about how amazing he is, like dude, stfu
Night dates were to be expected for the both of you
While he's disappointed that he can't show off that yes, you are dating the legendary monkey King: great sage equal to heaven
He doesn't want to lose you either
Never
So he'll gladly do so if it means that he could see you smile and laugh at his dumb jokes
However, that's only if you're living on the same house as your parents
If you have your own house, then it's like a normal relationship (although, I don't know how normal a relationship is with a monkey humanoid but go off)
Once your parents come visit you, he's banned for being near because you don't want the two of you to get caught
Which sucks cause he's literally clingy as hell
So when they finally leave for a TWO DAY STAY he cries and whines about how being away from you was, and u quote, "worse than living on a furnace for 9000 years"
"Oh? So you're saying that you'd like to revisit that memory?"
"I- WHEN DID I EVER SAY THAT???"
Six eared Macaque
Tumblr media
To your parents, he's seen as a self centered and egotistical bastard who only wants to make people do the things he wants
But they aren't as worried like with Monkey King cause he's presumed dead
Though ever since that there's now word about how he's seen on the streets and defeated a shadow demon of some sort
Your parents are literally on high alert right now
When he knew about that he isn't really welcomed on your family, it kind of hurt a bit but he brushed it off literally right after
I mean come on, who needs those extras when he could have the main course ♡
And plus he could easily skidaddle into the shadows once necessary, plus, it's cute on how to try to lie your way out of your parents when they ask who you were talking too
Very smug about it as well and literally won't stop bringing it on topic when he gets the chance
Also likes to use this whole forbidden love thing as entertainment
When you're on family gatherings, you could feel a head lay on your lap below the table, and met with cheeky eyes staring right at you with a finger on his lips
It was fine until you start to feel hands all over your legs and soft purring vibrating through them
As much as you wanna coo on how touchy he was being for not seeing you in only 10 minutes, you had to stay still or your family will catch on
This continued on and was durable
Until he started to nibble all over you
Even so as to pulling your non dominant hand below the table and nibble on that as well, with little licks from here and there
This man was just begging for attention, and it was getting harder to compose yourself
When that whole, torturous, ordeal was over. You scolded him for almost getting you two caught
But then he just shut you up with a kiss and forced you down the bed to cuddle (what did you think he was gonna do? Kikiki)
Red son
Tumblr media
Everyone knows of what the Demon Bull King's family did to the streets and almost tried to concur the world so it's no surprise their so hyper aware on them as well
Red's also a tad disappointed that he can't show off to your parents but that didn't matter, as long as you're there then he's happy
In a way, you guys have this Romeo and Juliet type of relationship
You sneak out to visit and go on dates with him, late night conversations and maybe just laying below a tree in each other's arms while he complains about how annoying his friends are
Turns out they were the ones who forced him to confess first and it's really made you laugh while his face blew up in red
He really likes to hold you in his arms in very calm and just moments where your presence is enough to still the whole world
Your parents often wonder why you keep staying up late and getting more exhausted by the morning, but you just excused on saying you're doing projects
Didn't really satisfy them that much cause you were just constantly on your phone smiling and often ushered them outside of the room when it was night time
But before they could even ask, you once again brushed the dirt under the carpet and led them outside of your room again
Letting out a sigh in relief, you excitedly turn to your phone and checked your messages
"How would you feel if we went to get some ice cream tonight?"
"That would be wonderful ♡"
Meanwhile, he's now grinning and immediately starts to walk towards your house, bouquet in hand
Tumblr media
I apologize if this wasn't to your liking, some issues were present so I wasn't really in the mood for love :((

Would you be interested in a Red Son/MK fic where DBK and SWK (who are still besties) set them up? If not, then I just wanna say I love your work!
“I’m telling you, bud, this kid is perfect!”
He had several questions about this plan and a lot more about this “kid”. Still, when Sun Wukong busted down your door and said “You still want grandkids?!” Demon Bull King had found it easier to follow along. 
Both of them sat in a cavern underneath the city in bird form, sitting up in the pipes. Wukong’s staff was perfectly placed in the center, right under a hole where sunlight could cast a spotlight on it. “May you go over the plan again?” DBK asked. “Why is your staff in the ground?”
The gold bird next to him hopped up and down. “Okay, so I called Red, saying I dropped my staff and it went through the street.” Uh huh. “Then I ordered noodles that my successor is gonna deliver to this location.” Wait, what? Wukong continued on. “And, BOOM! Love at first sight or touching staff or whatever! Red gets a boyfriend and my successor gets his staff!”
There had been no clarification whatsoever.
“What do you mean, successor-?!”
“SHHH!” Wukong slapped a wing over his face. “Here he comes!”
A floom of flames had arrived, clearing to reveal his son, looking around the cavern with a hum. His eyes landed on the staff and DBK could see his brow raise. “Okay, found the staff. Now what?” He marched around it, eyeing it as if it would bite him. “I can’t lift it.” Red Son turned, pulling out his phone.
At the same time, there was a creak of an elevator and a soft voice scatted through the halls. Red was focused on his phone and didn't look up. DBK craned his head, in time to see a young man waltz in.
He had to admit, he could see where Wukong was coming from. The young man was strikingly pretty and Red did have a fondness for people with dark hair. (He got it from him.)
"Maybe this will work," DBK hummed, watching as the young man stepped into the main cavern. Wukong made a happy noise as Red finally looked up.
Now, to deal with that whole 'successor' thing next.

This is not a headcanon just some food for thought (you can expand on this if you want).
I think we all know most demons are assigned an animal of some sort... Do you think they have them like pets? For example, Paimon, I like to imagine he has a camel at his place ironically called princess. Or like Bael having either a cat a toad or a spider (or all) that just stay with him.
Okay, so... As a Monster fucker lover. I like doing things like this cause I need a center animal when I think for they're demonic forms.
But since some of the Ars Goetia do have a center Animal. I would just go from there.
Hades
Leviathan - Would be a Sea serpent or Sea monster, so Sea Snake.
Foras - Horse, since I'm going by his status as a knight cause his demon form in Goetia is just some guy.
Glasyalabolas - Dog, and a creepy one if fact XD
Tumblr media
Neflheim
Bathin - Since I don't know him too well since he barely have content in game, I'll put him on hold.
Gusion - Is a Monkey or Mandrill.
Andrealphus - Peacock
Avisos
Stolas - Owl
Amon - We do get something in part of Beelzebub's bloodshed that he grow feathers and uses them to rush back to get help when we found Beelzebub hurt in that story, so Safe to assume that he had a bird as his animal.
Naberius - Dog, he is the easier ones XD
Bael - I would say, Spider of the three animal that you suggested. Mostly because it a complimentary with Beelzebub since Beelzebub is the Lord of the files.
Paradise Lost
Marbas - Lion...
Tumblr media
Morax - Bull
Buer - It would be easy to say Fox with the whole fox eyes his having, I could see it or Just a another canine in general.
Tartaros
Eligos - Snake (This was a suggestion of a friend)
Valefor - Lion (Basing on the Goetia look)
Bimet - (Since they just change Bune to Bimet, I'm basing on Bune's description) Which is Dragon or if we're sticking with real animals, Lizard more so a Monitor Lizard.
Abaddon
Phenix - Phoenix or a Lyrebird.
Dantalian - Hmm... I'll put him at a hold too.
Ronove - Hyena, more so I think that these animal are misunderstood and that people think that they're bad (Mostly because of how the Lion King depict them) and that they're Scavengers But they are actually Beautiful animals and I can see Ronove having this as his Animal (Yes, I know his a cat dad, but I don't see him being a cat or big cat)
Gehenna
Sitri - Leopard
Paimon - Camel
Astaroth - Snake, more so a Venomous one
Leraye and Zagan - I have no clue aside dog, but that's even just me basing on how the fandom describe them (Puppy/Dog energy lol)
Belial - He'll also me put on hold cause I really don't have a animal in mind for him.
Note: I'm happy to hear you guys thoughts in this.

Tw for uncomfy topics;
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yup, TIC really dug himself a grave trying to keep the Demon Bull royal family's power centered on himself. And since the Celestial and Demonic court culture is very similar to the one once practiced on earth (the former more so) - this kinda stuff would happen, although not as commonly in the modern day.
DBK himself was once considered kinda weird as a king for only having one wife (at least in the LMK verse) and not having a large harem. DBK was so appalled that the demonic courts thought so little of his perfect wife Princess Iron Fan, that he got himself kicked out of his parents palace in the Underworld. When TIC got his ass beat by SWK, he dragged himself home to find out that he owned all the Demon Bull Family's Underworld property by default.
TIC in the Journey to the West is mentioned to have at least one dedicated follower/servant (human mind you), so loyal as to attempt to fight Sha Wujing to stop him from getting the spring water. It wouldn't be hard for TIC to have a loyal subject inserted amongst DBK and PIF's entourage for "pruning" purposes. But yes, the second PIF identifies which servant was in cahoots with TIC; she literally rips them apart with her wind powers, crying the whole time.
These incidents and realizations come about the same time PIF is tackling her own jealously towards Xiaotian's luck in pregnancy. After a bunch of loose ends have to be cleaned up (TIC now being well... dead complicates Underworld stuff), DBK and PIF decide that a long visit to their son and his future spouse is needed.
Xiaotian and Red are happy to let them stay and talk for the night. One or two details are let loose about how TIC had been interferring with their lives long before the pilgrimage days. Red almost breaks the glass in his hands from anger before him and Xiaotian drop everything to embrace PIF and DBK in a hug. Lots of tears are shed.
Note: Ironbull may attempt for more children after this incident, despite the still-active curse upon PIF from her mother.
Paramita and his four younger brothers say hi.

tw: foolhalo
foolhalo
the girl are fighting
and kissing
and
yeah
( Like those two 'straight' girls who say they are so straight but make out constantly )
(just woke up from like, not a ton of sleep so rambling aheaddd)
Literally themmmmm. I feel like their entire dynamic is that. Are they fighting? Flirting? Making out? Stabbing each other? Who knows! Not them either! You feel like you are third wheeling every time you are with them. (I sure do at least)
I wonder what their dynamic was when they first met, years and years and years ago..
(dammit I did it again, mini fanfiction incomingggg)
Foolish is taking a break after he finished his current mega-build, a massive floating city on water he called Atlantis. It had been a couple of months since he had finished and he had caught word that the city was actually getting populated! (which made his job of interior design MUCH easier, why do the work if residents would come bring their own furniture? It was perfect!) At this point he was basically a king, a king of the sea and the beautiful city of Atlantis..
That all changes shortly enough when a messenger brings the news to him that a couple of Griefers were trying to summon a fuckin demon in the town square.
Foolish immediately dives into the water to swim to Atlantis. He didn't ACTUALLY think they could do it (were demons real?) but he at least wanted to see.
He gets in view of the city and is about to step onto land when SOMEHOW the ENTIRE BASE ISLAND somehow shudders and rumbles, cracks spider-webbing across the ground. Foolish is in shock. His build is about to be utterly destroyed, and so close to when it finally was finished too!!
He leaps onto dry land and SPRINTS to where the cracks come from, dodging dust and debris that rain from the sky, the terraces he built crumbing and falling, utter destruction ripping through the city.
In the center he finally sees the Griefers, or what remained of the dark hooded terrorists. Most of them were smashed into walls, presumably from a blast of energy which came from-
A dark figure stretching in the town square, shackled wrists flexing and shattering golden cuffs, immediately spawning more shock waves.
Foolish sees red.
He charges forwards like a bull, batting stone and concrete away as he barrels towards the creature that was inadvertently DESTROYING his current Great Project.
He tackles the spindly figure, pushing it roughly into the ground, shouting...something at it. He couldn't even hear himself with how much the earth was shaking and the sound of buildings breaking rattling in his ears.
The creature below him made a fuckin :3 face somehow, and suddenly the earth trembled, and all hell broke loose.
Buildings leaned and fell, glass bursting out like water, and entire sections of the earth fell away and crashed into the sea, massive waves slapping away at the materials and stripping them of any personality there once was.
People screamed and ran, many squashed by falling debris, many getting tossed into the sea haphazardly by the bucking earth under their feet.
Foolish groans as the city strips away, and all that is left is the town square in a circular outline of a summoning circle.
The being under him shifted. and Foolish's attention snapped back to it.
"Oh sweet bread your chin is as chiseled as the buildings I just broke :3"
"How the fuck did you say colon three in your, actually what the fuck is a colon there's a plothole here, ah what the fuck do you mean 'sweet bread'?"
The dark being rolls under him, shifting Foolish off, and reaching for a dark and red robe one of the Griefers had. He pushed the groaning, still-alive man into the water, watching happily as the man screamed and splashed into the cold water.
"Sweet bread is tasty, when they mix sugar in bread? I accidentally made it once, I'm sure humans will give it a name sometime in the future." The creature rambled, covering his naked form with the cloak.
(edit, I know NOTHING about cooking or how ancient muffins were made man, I did some research but couldn't find a definite answer for this time period)
"You just destroyed my city you bitch, whaT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOUUUUUUU" Foolish screamed, launching himself at the (demon?).
The being dodges with a O_o, and runs, unable to get too far from the enraged builder in the circle platform left. They chase each other for a few minutes and fuuuuuuck I'm getting tired and I didn't mean to make this at allllllllll so I'm gonna non traditional end it sorryyyy.
They fight, Bad makes "observations" about Foolish's "peak physique" Foolish is laughing in frustration and they wrestle and fight and bite and definitely kiss once or twice simply because the tensions were running so high. There's still a Griefer on the summoning circle, but he hears like, a couple sentences of banter and throws himself into the water because these two CLEARLY have SOMETHING going on, and now they are talking about proper market etiquette and roleplaying buying mangos and no one can tell if this is foreplay or insanity.
(anon I'm so sorry this just happens sometimes and I'm tired and have 0 filter so...have this fuckin mini fanfiction that was born from your silly ask I guess ;-;)

Red Boy's Name
I'm thinking about writing an article on the origins of Red Boy (Honghai'er, 紅孩兒; a.k.a. "Red Son"). While doing a little reading, I found a detail that had previously escaped my attention. Yu's (Wu & Yu, 2012) translation states that the character's "childhood name is Red Boy" (vol. 2, p. 219). However, the original Chinese says: "[His] milk name is known as 'Red Boy'" (Ruming jiaozuo Honghai'er, 乳名叫做紅孩兒). Wilkinson (2000) explains Chinese naming conventions:
The different names were used at different stages of a person's life. The xiaoming [小名] in infancy, the daming [大名] in youth, the zi [字] and hao [號] in adulthood and the shihao [諡號] after a person's death. [...] Shortly after birth, children, from emperor to peasant with out exception, were given a milk name (ruming 乳名, xiaoming 小名, or xiaozi 小子) by their parents or a wet nurse. The ruming were the familiar terms for infants still used today such a Xiaobao 小寶 in Mandarin or Abao 阿寶 in Cantonese (little treasure); Xiaosanzi 小三子 or Asan 阿三 (little no. 3). A common type of ruming are those made up of a prefix such as a 啊 or xiao 小 plus the last character of the ming [childhood name], as in A-lin 啊林 for Wang Hailin 王海林 (p. 98). Three months after birth, it was normal practice for the father to choose the given name (ming, sometimes called xueming 學名 or daming 大名 to distinguish it from the xiaoming) ... (p. 98).
This means that "Red Boy" is a baby name used by the Bull Demon Family. However, Lee (2011) notes, "[I]t may so happen that a person will go through life and never have any other name" (p. 110). This appears to be the case with Red Boy as the novel never mentions a daming. But it does say that his "Adult assumed name [hao] is known as 'Great King Holy Infant'" (Hao jiaozuo Shengying dawang, 號叫做聖嬰大王).

Wallflower
So far, the party was going far better than Sun Wukong could have hoped, likely because he, besides providing some food and drink at an already laden table, was taking care to not involve himself in any of the conversations around the spacious room.
When Qi Xiaotian had proudly announced that he had found a time, date, and place big enough to host a smaller and more intimate version of the massive parties both humans and yaoguai had thrown to celebrate the defeat of the Lady Bone Demon, the Monkey King did have his doubts. After all, the varying individuals who his tudi had included on the invite list of “Team Saviors of All Reality” included numerous individuals--from the Lotus Prince to the Six Eared Macaque--who had tried to kill him at some point. And that wasn’t even factoring in that for as much as Qi Xiaotian dismissed his shifu’s hesitantly expressed but still honest concerns that there wasn’t a one among that group which wasn’t enraged at the Monkey King for one (good) reason or another, Sun Wukong was convinced that his presence would raise what already promised to be a tense atmosphere to a boiling point. He had stayed up one night after another, feeling like he couldn’t disappoint Qi Xiaotian once again by refusing to go, but was terrified of what his presence in that crowd could lead to. In the end, Sun Wukong decided it was far past time to fully abandon his laid-back and sickeningly cheery attitude in favor of going in, getting some food to be polite, and then staying out of the way. And thus Operation Wallflower was a go.
He had expected the hateful glares. He had known the snide comments and huddles of whispered accusations were coming. But that was fine. Actually, it was more than fine! No one had confronted him after Sun Wukong, staying quiet and keeping his eyes downcast, had grabbed a quick plate before seating himself in a corner away from the party’s center. There, Monkey King could sneak peeks at the crowd as a totality, and he kicked himself once again for having doubted his tudi. He had never expected to be in a room where Li Nezha and the Demon Bull King could be at least indifferent towards each other, but somehow his tudi had pulled it off. It was Qi Xiaotian’s ability to make at least grudging allies of even bitter enemies that made the Monkey King particularly confident in his choice of a successor.
The kid was succeeding well in an area that Sun Wukong had failed in spectacularly, and he couldn’t be more proud.
Not that he had anything about himself to be proud of. Not like they wouldn’t have even HAD to make such a massive effort or gone through all that grief to stop the bone witch if it wasn’t for the stupid monkey and his stupid ideas and his inevitable fail-
Sun Wukong shook himself out of that familiar spiral as his tudi approached, a smile on his face and two cups in hand.
“Monkey King! Isn’t this great? I never thought so many of the famous heroes and legends I read about my entire life would someday just...talk to me! I...I never thought I’d get to be a hero too. So, well, thank you. For being here. For letting me have this.”
Sun Wukong offered is tudi a small but genuine smile. “I’m glad you feel that way, bud. It’s only what you deserve.”
Qi Xiaotian grinned wider at his shifu’s words, and then offered the Monkey King one of the cups. It was, so Qi Xiaotian informed Sun Wukong, filled with plum wine that the Long family had ordered specifically for this get together, and it was, so his tudi continued in a tone that made Sun Wukong realize the young man was somewhat tipsy, absolutely delicious. Its fragrant scent certainly seemed to stand testament to its undoubtedly wonderful flavor. And yet. And yet. 
“It’s real nice of you to offer me some, bud, but I....”
Remember how you spent your nights binging with friends and your days killing more humans than you could count. Remember how you quashed any secret misgivings towards your decisions with false cheer and plum wine. Remember how your party crashing and drunkenness in heaven ended with your children all dead and you cursed with immortality and now there’s no being but one who doesn’t hate you and it’s your fault your fault your fault YOUR FAU-
“...I don’t drink. Not anymore.”

in lmk, we are shown wukong as a strong, cheerful, smart (not always) character, but what he really is, if we talk about the original, namely jttw
ya askin whats he like in jt/tw?
hmm... lets see.
he is one of the strongest beings of the chinese folklore, he loves to smile and laugh rather than cry (he says so when Nezha accuses him of bein heartless cuz he laughed rather than grieved when they were losing against the Rhinocerous King). he is an incredibly skilled fighter- both in martial arts and thru magic/religious fate. he's charming in his own way, he's caring for those he loves (i'm holding on to my interpretation of him seeking immortality in the first place because of his love for life and his monkey family) to the point it might be sometimes honestly an issue (Tang Sanzang was... not good to him. Zhu Bajie maybe honestly even worse)
he's a simple but (always and incredibly) smart country bumpkin (compared to Heaven especially) that doesn't care about formalities and can come up with a sound plan in blink of an eye. he calls himself everyone's grandpa, cuz he's silly and loving like that. he cried over the eastern sea when he was cast away from the pilgrimage the first time and he went to mourn to Guanyin the second time he was sent away
he's a fool thats easy to rile up. he's a tad bit too self-centered, blinded by confidence in himself at times, especially so when he faced against the Buddha. he's the reason huaguo shan was burnt to the ground and that the monkeys there had to suffer for over 500 years. he still loves them so so very much
he takes no shit, ready to kill anybody who isn't important enough that stands in his way. he tries to keep his promises. he used to eat humans at some point. he isn't afraid to ask for help. he is no stranger to intimidation and bullying. he's a little oblivious to relationships- because of him Red Boy had been taken away by Guanyin to study under her as Sudhana (really, it was Red Boy's fault on like 75% though) and despite that, when he met Bull Demon King again afterwards, he thought they were still going to be on the same terms as literal centuries ago
it's hard, basically impossible, to really put him into a small characterization box because he is written to be very complex- he changes quite a bit over the course of the book, too, becoming better and better of a person. seeing as he is supposed to represent the human mind in jt/tw, a buddhistic allegory, he can be a little all over the place sometimes
LMK got him down pretty alright, i'd say!

Stone Rebirth Chapter 1
A Hero Reborn From Stone
Monkie Kid has been on my brain lately, and I started thinking of what would happen if that moment MK emerges from the stone egg in A Hero Is Born, that MK was actually reborn after the immense energy from the Monkey King's powers mixed with the energy that DBK absorbed. Also when MK is reborn he is somewhere between a human and a demon.
I was heavily inspired by this post from @rottedsoulx as well as the fan fiction named Is this a Monkey-Thing or a Dad-Thing and the Scent of Apricots AU created by Queen Tangerine over on Twitter.
I am probably going to make a concept drawing of how MK's appearance changes as the story progresses.
Masterpost
Chapter 1 - A Hero Reborn from Stone
It started as another mundane day at Pigsy’s Noodles. MK bribed Tang with the prospect of free noodles in exchange for a story about the Monkey King and as usual Pigsy catches his employee and the monk in the act. Pigsy then ordered MK to make some deliveries, which MK immediately started on doing. With some music playing through the delivery boy’s headphones, MK relied on his GPS to direct them to the destination. Once there MK continued to vibe with the music, oblivious to his surroundings as he went down a construction elevator into a large cavern with a small green hill in the center. It took the resonating voices coming from ahead to snap MK out of his vibe session and back to the present.
“It feels like I have waited an eternity for this moment,” a woman who at first glance appeared normal until MK notices the bull horns protruding from her head and realized they were a demon, “Is everything in order?”
The other figure, a redhead with a red dot on his forehead responded, “Just making the final adjustments mother."
Now aware of his surroundings, MK quickly realized he had to hide from the demon family and their bull themed minions, so he quickly hid behind a pile of rocks while keeping an eye on the demons. The younger of the two demons, apparently named Red Son, stated that the staff that was embedded into the overgrown mountain was the Monkey King’s legendary staff. Immediately MK’s attention was directed towards the staff in question, eyes shining brightly with awe. Was it really the very staff that the Monkey King used to seal away the Demon Bull King under a mountain from the story that Tang conveniently told the kid this morning?
Waiting for the best moment to sneak a closer look at the staff, MK rushed to a nearby ladder when one of the Bull Clones tried to pull the staff only to lose their arms in the vain attempt which drew the attention of the two demons long enough for MK to climb his way up the ladder. At the top of the ladder a bird almost managed to spook MK, but he managed to steel his grip before he could fall. Then MK climbed onto the rafters above, which the bird once again managed to surprise the noodle boy causing him to stumble and almost fall. Luckily, MK caught his hands in feet between the rafters while holding a bag of noodles in his mouth. The bird then landed on the rafters that the kid was holding onto for dear life and stared at his hands curiously before pecking at one. MK gave the bird a pleading look, hoping the bird would stop which it did, but only for now.
Below, the demon known as Red Son scoffed at the bull clone, “You fool. You think we didn't try that already? It's going to take more than a few robots to lift the Monkey King's staff. Only those deemed worthy can wield it,” The fire demon then materialized a gauntlet into his hand and exclaimed, “But I, Red Son, have designed this gauntlet to bend it to my will.”
MK and the bird watched as Red Son freed the Monkey King’s staff from its bed resulting in a wave of energy to pulse outwards from the staff. When the energy wave hit MK a tingling sensation spread throughout his body, almost as if the energy from the blast was attracted to MK like a magnet and latched to him. For the next few seconds, it felt like MK was being burned alive from the inside, but the feeling quickly faded as soon as it came. How the kid was able to keep a grasp on the rafters was beyond him, but he was relieved that he was still unnoticed by the Demon Bull Family, all while that family watched in anticipation for the Demon Bull King to be free from his subterranean prison.
That was when the bird decided to continue its pursuit to alert the demons below to the noodle boy’s presence, much to MK’s dismay. The feathered animal continued to peck at MK’s hand, and he felt his grip on the rafters slipping and with one last peck MK began to plummet and land right onto a gloating Red Son.
Surprisingly unhurt, MK looked up only to be greeted with the sinister glares from Princess Iron Fan and the Demon Bull King along with the glowing eyes of the Bull Clones that were directed at the intruder.
Not knowing what to do in the moment, MK picked up a nearby bag of Pigsy’s Noodles and made a nervous chuckle and swallowed, “Did somebody order some noodles?”
The air began to heat up as underneath MK the youngest demon present threw MK off of him while yelling with irritation, “Get off of me, you…idiot!”
MK landed next to the Monkey King’s staff; the kid could swear he could hear someone whispering to him telling MK to pick up the staff. Behind him, the fiery son of DBK had turned around and began to yell, “Argh, do you know what you just did? You ruined my moment!”
The brunette boy was then faced with the Demon Bull King who cracked his neck and knuckles and stated, “A little eavesdropper has fallen into our midst. It seems a waste to crush something so insignificant as my first act as ruler of this new world, but so be it.”
Before the Demon Bull King could reach the trembling form of MK, Red Son slid between the two of them, “Wait father!”
The demon king stopped before he could accidentally hurt his son and demanded, “What is this?”
The younger demon cleared their throat as they moved their father’s foot aside and stated, “Waste not your energy on this…” Red Son paused for a moment, “…peasant. Please, allow me to show you how powerful I have become in your absence!”
“Go ahead,” DBK grinned as he backed up to give Red Son room to prove himself to his father.
“And maybe I can use this chance to get away,” MK said in a whisper before Red Son turned around and noticed the escape attempt.
“In some ways, you're very fortunate, Noodle Boy!” the son of DBK droned on as he approached MK who scooted back in response, “Not many insects are lucky enough to be stamped out by the Demon Bull Family.”
The whispers started up again as MK backed into the Ruyi Jingu Bang, and when MK turned around, he saw the Monkey King’s staff on the ground and heard whispers calling out for MK to pick it up.
“Are you even listening to me?!” Red Son was not amused, “I, Red Son, will not be disrespected! You're history!”
When Red Son went to strike a blow, MK absentmindedly picked up the staff with his eyes closed, only opening them after Red Son exclaimed, “No way! How could you possibly lift Monkey King's staff?”
MK was indeed holding the Monkey King’s staff in his hands with ease, the boy’s eyes sparkled as he couldn’t believe he was holding the legendary Sun Wukong’s magic size changing staff.
“Impossible,” Princess Iron Fan stated what everyone was thinking while DBK cursed the noodle boy under his breath.
Red Son was not going to have any of this, “I don't what's going on here, but I'm about to end it. That staff is mine!”
Before anyone could even get close to MK, the kid panicked and swung the staff while exclaiming, “I’m supposed to be on my break!”
The movement created a force that sent Red Son and multiple Demon Bull Clones back, destroying majority of the robots and knocking the young demon out momentarily. The Demon Bull King was dumbfounded as he saw the intruder wield the staff like that, “This can’t be.”
“Uh, that was way more explosive than I expected,” MK said stunned by what he just did as Princess Iron Fan walked towards the armed noodle boy who began to wave their arms franticly, “Stay back! I don't know how I'm doing this stuff!”
“That staff doesn't belong to you, little boy,” Iron Fan said sternly as she stared at MK before demanding, “Hand it over.”
MK pulled the staff closer to his face as he hummed before responding with a “Mmm…no.”
The next few moments happened quickly. The staff planted itself into the ground before launching MK, who was now clinging to the golden hooped staff at this point and forced itself and MK out of the underground construction site. The whole time MK clung to the staff for dear life as it blasted its way through demon bull clones towards the elevator where it once again planted itself in the ground before blasting the elevator to the surface not stopping until MK was near the tuk-tuk.
MK quickly stumbled into the driver’s seat and hit the petal and raced out of the site. Just when the delivery boy thought he was scott-free, Red Son caught up behind him in a fiery themed truck.
“Alright, Noodle Boy, hand it over!”
Looking around for anything to slow the fire demon with MK quickly realized what he had to do and apologized before throwing, “I'm sorry, valued customer. You won't be getting your noodles.”
The noodles hit the windshield of Red Son’s truck, and was easily wiped off, “Fine! Have it your way!”
The truck got close enough to hit the tuk-tuk, and once again the staff activated launching the vehicle into the sky and bouncing from building to building irritating Red Son, “Would you get down here so I can kill you?!”
“Never!”
The staff continued to bounce them until they ended up falling into one, apologizing to the owner before driving the tuk-tuk out of the building. The kid chuckled nervously as he looked behind him, not seeing the truck anywhere nearby, “I think I lost him.”
Just after Monkie Kid said those words, the tuk-tuk started to slow before falling down and breaking. The already immense anxiety and stress MK was feeling increased tenfold, “Oh, Come on! Come on! Come on, old girl! You got this!” MK began hitting the engines hoping it would start back up, “Oh, don't do this to me! Oh, man, Pigsy's gonna kill me.”
A deranged laugh prevented MK from pondering what Pigsy would do when he found out, so MK make a break for it into an alleyway where he spots a couple of kids using a Cloud Board. With not many other options, MK hops onto the hoverboard before apologizing to the kid he just accidentally knocked off it. Then Red Son rushes through with his truck into the narrow alley to chase the noodle boy who already made it to the other side.
MK turned around to see that Red Son got himself stuck. The kid turned around and taunted, “See ya!”
MK navigated through the city, not noticing he entered a roadway that was under construction. Then the kid heard something behind him, he looked behind his shoulder and saw that Red Son was closing in on MK in a race car.
“Come on!” MK cried, “Where did you get that!?”
The fiery redheaded demon scoffed, “What? You think I drive anything that doesn't at least have one complex transformation?”
Suddenly Red Son’s vehicle burst towards MK in an attempt to crush him. MK manages to survive and make his way on top of his chaser’s car where he sighed in relief until noticing the end of the road and screams. The car begins to plummet with MK with it, but the ground impact doesn’t happen. Instead, MK felt a hand grab him and pull them onto a motorcycle. The dragon themed cyclist then raced all the way towards Pigsy’s Noodles leaving a now grounded Red Son behind fuming with anger.
The motorcycle began to decelerate, throwing MK off in the process before the cycle dematerialized along with the rider’s suit revealing a girl who proceeded to whip out their phone and take a selfie with MK exclaiming, “Nailed it!”
MK immediately wrapped his arms around the person and spun them around and exclaimed, “Mei!”
“MK!” Mei responded back with the same amount of energy, “Have you gotten stronger? Normally I’m the one who does the spiny huggin’.”
“Oh,” MK realized and set his best friend down, “Sorry about that Mei.”
“It’s cool,” Mei brushed it off before asking, “Hey that was an intense game of tag. You guys looked like you were having so much fun. I wanted to join in too!”
MK nervously chuckled as he explained to her, “Actually, I almost died back there.”
Leaning in, Mei picked up MK and stated happily, “But ya didn’t! Why don’t we celebrate with a round of Mon-on-on-key Mech,” pointing out the arcade machine that was outside the noodle shop, “You should invite your new edgy friend too.”
“Yeah, about that,” MK scratched the back of his head, “He was trying to kill me.”
“In that case,” Mei’s carefree attitude quickly shifted to a dark one as she held up her phone that was on a game over screen and said in a threatening tone, “Where does he live.”
Before that conversation could escalate, Pigsy rushed out of the shop fuming as he held a phone in one cloved hand while the other was in a fist, “MK! Where are you, you punk?” Pigsy held up the phone to MK’s face, “You mind telling me why some bozo left a ZERO-star review on Pigsy’s Noodles?!”
“Wow zero-stars congrats,” Mei said genuinely and Pigsy began to tell her that’s not how it works. With Pigsy distracted, MK rushed inside with staff in hand.
“Mr. Tang, Mr. Tang!” MK exclaimed as he rushed around the noodle shop looking for his notebook. The scholar spits his noodles out before turning their attention to the eccentric kid with a wipe of his mouth and hummed.
“You remember the story you told me this morning?” MK asked as he franticly searched for where he put his notebook, “About the Demon Bull King,” still couldn’t find it, “Argh, where is it? Where is it? Where is it?”
Then the kid saw his notebook under a stack of bowls, “Ah, there it is!”
“Yeah,” Tang sounded disinterested as he sipped his noodles, “What about him?”
MK jumped up onto the counter and crouched in front of the scholar with wide eyes and stated, “The Demon Bull King is back! The legend is real!”
The kid’s words were met with skepticism, but MK continued, “The Monkey King’s staff is removed! We have to find him! It’s the only way to save everyone before the world is destr…”
“Boy, relax,” Tang stops MK and pushed the kid back with chopsticks, “You’re getting spittle in my soup. Besides you’re delusional. It’s just a story.”
The delivery boy smirked as he whipped out the staff, “Delusional, huh? Would you call this delusional?”
“Wow, MK. You found a stick!”
“No, it’s the Monkey King’s staff!” MK insisted only for the rest of the gang to start laughing, “You aren’t listening! Demon Bull King is out there. We have to get the staff back to the Monkey King!”
They continued to laugh as MK felt a wave of uncharacteristic anger start to rise, “It’s the real deal. I…I’ll prove it!”
Pigsy scoffed, “Oh yeah! How?”
As if on cue the staff stretched before destroying the table right in front of MK. Immediately, everyone’s jaw dropped, and Tang went and fanboyed over it and Pigsy let MK explain. Mei learned that DBK was trending on social media as well as that the Demon Bull King was at a shoe store, the gang then collectively agreed that they needed to find the Monkey King. Pigsy said that he would take them to the most dangerous, deadly, rage-filled warrior he’d ever known.
Turns out said warrior has calmed down into a life as a tea shop owner that makes tea, does yoga, and has invested in therapy cats. It didn’t take much convincing for Sandy to take the gang to Flower Fruit Mountain. During the trip, MK played around with the staff, almost hitting Mei when he accidentally caused damage to part of the boat. It didn’t take long for the boat to stop when a geyser hits it, causing a crate to fall overboard into the ocean.
The boat would not be able to take them the whole way to Flower Fruit Mountain according to Sandy. So, the gentle blue giant could not take them any further from there. Tang offered to stay behind which caused Pigsy to complain about the river demon and scholar staying cozy in the boat before the pig demon almost became bacon when a geyser went off in front of him.
“Careful, piggy! Eeeee!” a geyser almost hit Mei in that moment, “You gotta wonder why Monkey King decided to live here of all places.”
“You know when Monkey King had to get through the Flaming Mountains,” MK began to say, “he actually used Princess Iron Fan fan’s to blow…”
A shrill laugh interrupted MK, “Well, well, well. Aren’t you a little Monkey King fan boy.”
Princess Iron Fan hovered in the air behind MK who turned around to see the demon. With a wave of her magic fan, she absorbed the flames before launching them in the direction of MK.
Pigsy coughed due to the ash and smoke, “Kids! Everyone okay?”
Before Mei or MK could answer, Iron Fan laughs as she hovers over MK and says, “I’ll be taking that staff now.”
Holding the staff tightly, MK, despite his nerves, stood his ground and stated, “This belongs to the Monkey King. There’s no way I’m letting you take it.”
Iron Fan’s next words hit the kid where it hurt, “Oh, you’re just a Noodle Boy playing at being hero. Sorry to disappoint. Playtimes over!”
A growl escaped MK’s throat as he launched himself at the demoness who now wore the power glove and stopped the staff with just one single finger.
“What,” MK exasperated before he was sent flying through the air passing the Flaming Mountains. MK shut his eyes before slipping unconscious.
...
When MK woke up his eyes hurt and felt irritated and itchy, also he could feel something course and grainy underneath him. Rolling onto his back, MK struggled to open his eyes, but managed to after a few rubs and blinks to pry them open. He saw a monkey staring at him curiously before MK shot up from the sandy beach ground causing the little monkey to dart away into the foliage. For a few moments the Monkie Kid wondered if he was dead before standing up and realizing where he was.
“Flower Fruit Mountain,” MK breathed with awe before reminding himself why he was here. The kid began to hike his way up the luscious mountain, noticing a few monkeys that would approach MK curiously before skirting away. MK followed the river to its source, if the legends were right then he should find the Monkey King behind a waterfall there.
Normally by now MK might have felt exhausted, yet it was the opposite of that as he climbed. Every hair on the kid’s head stood up in anticipation and excitement the closer MK git to the waterfall. So when he was standing right in front of the falls MK could feel his heart beating loudly in his chest. The kid reached out and the ache and irritation in his eyes started to become more manageable.
It was as if time itself slowed as whatever seal that was placed here opened allowing the kid safe passage through the falling waters. On the other side was an enormous cavern with a path that led towards a small temple in the center. MK followed the path, calling out to the Monkey King without receiving an answer. Eventually MK stumbled upon an ancient mural that depicted the Monkey King alongside who MK assumed were Tripitaka and his other disciples, two of whom looked eerily similar to Pigsy and Sandy while the monk Tripitaka reminded MK of Mr. Tang for some reason.
Then suddenly gold filled the kid’s vision, with it the rest of the irritation in their eyes faded completely. Gold lines began to outline the mural that was being brought to life right before MK’s eyes. The mural depicted the life of the Monkey King; from when the Monkey King hatched from a stone egg all the way to when the Great Sage sealed away the Demon Bull King. The largest figures were Tripitaka, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and Bai Long Ma. Then MK sees the Monkey King standing in front of the mural gesturing for the kid to follow.
MK follows the Great Sage, calling out to him as the kid reached out to touch his idol only for the figure to turn to dust as the gold tint left his vision. Frustrated, MK kicked a nearby rock, believing he might have hallucinated it.
“Maybe Tang’s right, maybe I am just being delusional,” MK told himself solemnly before a odd butterfly landed on the sleeve of his orange jacket.
“Sup,” MK’s gaze darted to find the source before landing on the butterfly who flew and landed on the rock MK kicked. Did that butterfly just talk?
“Yes, yes,” the butterfly said confidently, “It is I, the Monkey Kin…”
MK squashed the bug before they could finish their sentence. The kid then lifted their foot and asked, “Is…Is it dead?”
The butterfly was then enveloped in a golden light and changed into a bird before changing into a few other forms until settling on one and now standing before MK was the one and only Great Sage, Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong.
The boy struggled to get his words out, “Mon…Monkey King?”
The Great Sage placed his hands on his hips, “Yep! The one and only!” the Monkey King looked around before asking, “So, where’s my staff?”
On the verge of tears, MK apologized, “I’m so sorry! I tried to bring it to you, but Princess Iron Fan came and took it. She’s got this glove and…”
The laughter of the legendary monkey silenced MK, when it died down the Great Sage admitted, “I know, I know,” the monkey scratched the back of his head as he said, “Look, I’m gonna come clean. Um…I’ve been kinda watching you.”
“What!?” MK gasped, recalling the times that day he encountered a animal that had odd colorings realizing now that it was the Monkey King watching him, “Wait, that was you!”
A laugh emitted from the sage’s mouth, “The look on your face. You’re perfect!”
“Perfect for what?”
“To be…” Wukong paused before continuing after he folded his arms, “…my successor!”
MK stared blankly, not believing what he was hearing, “Uhhh? Are you sure you’re the Monkey King?” the kid began to prod the Great Sage, “You’ve been cooped up in here way too long. I think your brain went mushed up.”
With a sigh, Sun Wukong pushed MK away and stated, “Listen, kid. You fought demons and you didn’t die. You passed through the seal that only my clan can cross and made it here. Not just anyone can lift my staff,” the Great Sage pulled out a bag of peach chips, “But you did.”
“But what about DBK?”
“Phft! What about DBK?” the sage brushed the question off, “You can handle it. Consider it a trial."
"But I..."
Wukong realized the kid wasn’t getting it as the sage looked into his successor’s now golden eyes that were like his own and sighed, “Look if you can lift the staff, you can use it. Just believe in yourself,” the sage advised, “Even just a smidge makes all the difference.”
That seemed to do the trick as MK looked at Wukong who continued, “The staff was taken from you. Take it back.”
MK nodded, turning back towards the city, “Alright!”
...
First thing’s first, MK needed to find a way back to the city. Just so happens that the crate that fell out of Sandy’s boat washed up on the shores of Flower Fruit Mountain. A few monkeys were curiously prodding at the crate before it burst open revealing a jet.
MK rushed into the vehicle, seeing that it was apparently called the Cloud Jet on the manuel, “Shouldn’t be too hard to fly, it’s for ages 8 and up.”
It was not as easy as the label made it seem to be, because MK had no idea how to land this thing as the jet began to plummet into the ruined city below. The vessel ended up crashing onto Red Son, who was now unconscious near the jet.
MK stumbled out of the crash causing Pigsy to cry out in relief while Sandy let out a sigh of the same emotion. Mei immediately tackled MK into a hug and exclaimed, “MK!”
The dragon girl let MK get back up before continuing, “Oh my goodness! We saw you blast into the fire. I thought…” Mei stepped closer to MK as if trying to get a better look at something, “Hey nice contacts!”
‘Weird, I don’t wear contacts,’ MK thought to himself before catching his own reflection in the drive view mirror in the wreck. It didn’t take long for the Monkie Kid to realize what Mei was referring to, since staring right back at the kid was himself but with one major difference. The normally chestnut-colored irises were now a bright golden hue while the whites of the eyes were a darker shade of gold. MK recognized those eyes that stared back at him from his own reflection, after all he just met them on Flower Fruit Mountain, those were the same-colored eyes that the Monkey King has.
“Um…,” MK turned back towards Mei not knowing what to say, “Yeah…”
Behind Mei, Tang was prodding the unconscious Red Son with a stick to see if the demon was truly out of it before adjusting his glasses and turning to MK to ask, “So, did you find the Monkey King?”
The kid avoided making eye contact with his scholarly father figure as he said, “Yeah, I did.”
“So, then where is he,” Pigsy asked as he looked around for any sign of the legendary sage before MK explained.
“He said it was up to me,” MK admitted before looking at all his friends, “to us.”
“That’s anticlimactic,” Mei commented.
Then the earth quaked as the Demon Bull King loomed over the city, and Tang asked what they are were thinking, “And how are we meant to fight that?”
MK had to admit that seeing that the Demon Bull King was much larger than the demon was back when the kid first encountered him put some doubts in his mind. MK knew that the Monkey King was counting on them.
‘Believe in yourself’
The Monkey King’s words echoed through MK’s head as he looked at his hand before clenching it into a fist and saying, “We believe in ourselves,” MK turned to the rest of the gang and told them his plan, “You clean the streets.”
“I'll stop the Demon Bull King,” MK hopped down the ruined Cloud Jet and faced towards DBK. Suddenly light emitted around the city before an explosion went off and MK added with less confidence than before, “Somehow.”
“Yeah, this jet probably would have been really useful,” behind MK, Mei had just kicked the destroyed jet and a bike rolled out of the wreckage completely unscathed, “hey?”
This bike appeared like it was meant for this, a no bull symbol printed on the side and a red paint job with gold adornments. MK eyes beamed at the sight, “That’ll work!!”
The dragon girl put a hand on her friend’s shoulder encouragingly and smiled as she cheered, “Go get’em buddy!”
MK hopped on the cycle and hit the gas, driving towards the area of the city that the Demon Bull King was terrorizing by utilizing the road that was under construction. MK made a B-line towards the demon, who had noticed the kid’s approach and scowled.
“The little thief returns.”
DBK began to shoot lasers from his gun arm that was aimed towards the Monkie Kid who managed to dodge each one by bouncing on the tires of the motorcycle. When MK reached the end of the road, he hit the petals and was launched into the air towards the Demon Bull King. Suddenly it was like time itself slowed around the kid as gold flooded his vision, he was able to take in more of the area like how the birds seemed to be heading away from where MK was headed as well as the degrees that seemed to hover in the air around him.
“Uh what? Why is everything gold again?”
MK looked over at DBK, realizing that he was seeing the demon’s skeleton that had a giant hole in the center of the chest. On closer inspection MK realized that inside that hole was the Monkey King’s staff and he knew what he had to do, “The staff.”
MK landed the speed bike on DBK’s cannon arm and drove down the arm until DBK smashed the bike causing MK to be launched towards the demon’s open chest cavity. MK screamed as he fell, it felt like his entire being was being split apart after he passed into the hole. It was like that feeling after Red Son removed the staff from the mountain, the energy that seemed to course through the kid’s body, but this time it was more intense. It felt like MK was being burned alive while being hit by a thousand lightning bolts. The pain lasted for an excruciating five minutes, and for a moment MK wondered for the second time that day if he was dead.
Now it was dark, and MK felt cramped like he was inside a small space. Then he heard a crack, and golden light began to flood the area and suddenly he could feel the wind rustling past him.
MK heard DBK say questionably, “Monkey King?”
Slowly the Monkie Kid opened his eyes seeing that he was floating above the ground and put a hand near his ear and pulled out the Monkey King’s staff. A laugh came out from MK’s mouth before closing his eyes allowing a circlet to form around his bandana. MK didn’t pay much mind to the odd sensations that went through his lower spine or that everything seemed to have gotten louder.
His friends did, when they saw the stone egg that popped out of the Demon Bull King’s chest that shot out a beam of light, they saw it. At first Mei thought it was a trick of the light and Pigsy and Tang were not sure if it the figure that was now fighting the Demon Bull King was even MK. Sure they sounded like the kid and for the most part looked like them. The sides of MK’s hair had grown out and his hair looked wilder than it used to, the kid also had a new appendage, a tail, that twitched and shook as MK struck a hard blow on the Demon Bull King.
DBK retaliated by shooting his shoulder-mounted cannons towards the Monkie Kid, who instinctively dodged and laughed, “Missed me!”
“Nope,” Another blast came towards MK, who moved out of the way in the blink of an eye before taunting the demon, “Over here!”
MK jumped up and aimed the end of the staff towards DBK before willing the staff to grow and stretch so it would pin down DBK. Then MK went closer, swinging the staff in a way that split a building in two before rooting the staff in the broken-off section and pushing it towards DBK. DBK was not about to spend another eon trapped under anything, having enough of the new monkey the Demon Bull King disintegrated the building hoping that it would also take care of the little thief. Seeing that the kid was still in one piece, the Demon Bull King punched MK into the wall of a building.
MK groaned in pain, it felt like he landed on something that was attached to his spine.
“You thought you could stand against me little cub,” the bull demon growled
The kid opened his eyes, finally seeing what it was that he landed on. Behind him was a furry dark brown appendage that MK realized was a tail, and when it twitched MK felt the sensation of the new limb moving. Though MK wasn’t given much time before the Demon Bull King was closing in on him.
“I am the Demon Bull King,” the bull demon took a step forward that sent shockwaves through the earth, “I will not let a little thief take victory from my grasp.”
A tune rang from behind MK, he could feel his ears perk, which in itself was an odd sensation in itself, and he looked up to see a Monkey Mech arcade machine.
‘Just believe in yourself. Even just a smidge makes all the difference.’
“You might have that old fool's staff,” the bull demon laughed. The kid’s hand grasped around the staff as he pulled himself off the wall as DBK continued, “…but you are not the Monkey King.”
 Landing on the ground with a grunt, MK started to stand up and looked DBK in the face and stated, “Your right.”
“I'm the Monkie Kid,” MK announced before twirling the staff and plunging it into the ground. Suddenly the earth below began to break apart and reform around the kid until he was inside a monkey-themed mech. MK looked down at the bull demon who stared at the giant mech.
“It's time for you and your family to be brought to justice,” MK said as he summoned the staff and began to dive towards DBK, “Here comes Monkie Kid!”
The force the impact created caused the planets to shift slightly, leaving a crater where the Demon Bull King kneeled down in pain and defeat, “Im…possible.”
Standing outside the crater was MK in the monkey mech who folded his arms and said, “Nothing is impossible if you just believe in yourself. Make no mistake, you just got MKO'd!”
Behind him, the son of the Demon Bull King coughed as he struggled to regain his footing and breath, “You think this is over? It isn't over, bozo,” Red Son exclaimed, “Why don't you just get out of that dorky mech and…” his face red as he yelled a challenge at MK, “…fight me, you coward!”
Red Son them proceeded to tumble down into the crater with his father as MK reached toward the two demons only to be blocked by a pillar of wind. MK couldn’t even see into the funnel, but saw Princess Iron Fan’s face pop out, the irritation at the defeat clear on her face.
“We know when we've been bested,” Iron Fan commented, “But this won't be the last you see of us, Monkey Prince.”
MK clenched his teeth as the tornado dispersed causing a gust of wind to blast in the direction of MK as well as his friends, and the demon bull family were now nowhere to be seen. The kid wondered what Iron Fan meant by calling him Monkey Prince.
“What? No! No fair!” the monkie exclaimed, his tail twitching in irritation, “Come on, you can't just run away after saying something like that!”
‘Why did you call me the Monkey Prince?’
“MK!” Mei’s voice shook MK out of his thoughts, “You totally kicked DBK’s butt! Without us the city would be toast!”
“Yeah,” MK chuckled nervously before leaping out of the mech, he noticed Tang and Pigsy looking at MK with worry.
“MK?” Pigsy spoke up, failing to hide his concern at the moment as he asked, “Is…is that really you kid.”
“Of course,” MK said confused as to why Pigsy would even ask such a question, “Why wouldn’t it be?”
The pig demon’s eye twitched as he raised his voice and asked, “I just saw you recklessly rush into there, and we…we thought that we lost you for real this time kid! Then you pop out of some stone egg, and you have a freakin’ monkey tail and ears for crying out loud.”
MK recalled the feeling of his body burning and breaking apart as he went into the chest cavity to retrieve the staff. He also now remembered that there was a moment when he couldn’t figure out where he was, only that it was like he was in a void. The kid started to breathe rapidly, his heart pounding loudly in his chest as the Monkie Kid realized that actually, he died for a moment back there.
“MK?”
“I…think I…I might have actually died back there,” MK held onto the staff tightly, tears streaming down his face as he looked at his adopted fathers, “I…I died Dadsy…it was like I was being torn apart, but then put back together and I…I…”
Suddenly MK felt four sets of arms wrapped around him, he opened his eyes to see Pigsy, Tang, Sandy, and Mei surrounding the Monkie Kid in a group hug. Pigsy kept telling MK that it will be okay, that they will figure this out together.

Tales of the Monkey Princess: A Hero is Born End
Meanwhile at Megapolis City, the city was in terrible state as Demon Bull King continued wrecking havoc around as bull clones scattered around, suddenly Pigsy's food truck came out of nowhere and ran into the bull clones, everyone in the truck was screaming, one of the bull clones was targeting Pigsy's food truck as they released the barrels.
"Oh, no! Their secret weapon: barrels!" Tang shouted as they managed to dodge the barrels and landed safely on the ground, they had dark looks on their face.
Then, Red Son appeared in front of them in a fire vortex and spoke "So, you wanna be heroes, huh? Let me show you what happens to heroes!" Pigsy angrily grunted as he walked towards him and spoke "Ugh! I've had it up here with these demon punk-" He was then cut off when Mei puts her hand in front of him and spoke in a dark voice. "I'll handle this bitch.”
Mei then proceeds to use her dragon powers until the Cloud Jet cut off her powers as MK screamed while Mei looked up to see her "MK?" Then the jet crashed into Red Son as the others looked at the damaged jet until MK came out with her hair messy and a bit bruised, she groaned in pain as she mumbled out. "Damn that hurt."
Her friends look at her in relief as Mei and Tang cried tears of happiness while Sandy sighed in relief until Pigsy shout out. "Kid!"
Mei ran towards MK as she spoke as she hugged her best friend "MK! Oh my goodness! We saw you blast into the fire. I...I thought you were all like, pew! Ah! But-But you're not!" Mei spoke while Tang poked Red Son with a stick, making sure he was alive after that crash, as Red Son felt like he lost his soul.
Then Mei continued. "So how you get the jet? way to trash it already. Hold on, Monkey King, did you find him?" She asked.
"Heck yeah I did!" MK answered happily. Mei had stars in her eyes while Pigsy spoke. "So, where is he?" asked the pig demon.
"He said, it's up to me. To us." The Mei Spoke. "Well, that's anti-climatic." Then an explosion suddenly ruins the reunion, looking up to see Demon Bull King, ten times larger then his usual self hovering over the city.
"And how are we supposed to fight that?" asked Tang. MK looks down at her hand, clenching it into a fist as she spoke. "We believe in ourselves. You guys clean up the streets, I'll stop DBK, somehow." She mumbled out loud.
Mei looked at the Cloud Jet. "Yeah. this jet probably would've been really useful, hey?" Mei kicks the broken down jet, a motorcycle, rolling out the other side.
"Oh, that'll work!" MK spoke.
"Go get 'em buddy!" Mei cheers as MK got on the bike and drove into the city to fight DBK.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MK hopped on the cycle and hit the gas, driving towards the area of the city that the Demon Bull King was terrorizing by utilizing the road that was under construction. MK made a B-line towards the Demon, who had noticed the kid's approach and scowled. "The little thief returns."
Demon Bull King began to shoot lasers from his gun arm that was aimed toward MK who managed to dodge each one by bouncing on the tires of the motorcycle. When MK reached the end of the road, she hit the petals and was launched into the air toward the Demon Bull King. Suddenly it was like time itself slowed around the kid as gold flooded her vision.
"Ugh, again? Why is everything gold again?"
MK looked over at Demon Bull King, realizing that she was seeing the Demon's skeleton that had a giant hole in the center of the chest. On closer inspection MK realized that inside that hole was the Monkey King's staff. she knew what he had to do, "The staff."
She drives himself into the hole of Demon Bull King's armor. Demon Bull King laughs, "Now this world is truly mine!" He then stumbles back, losing his power. "What is this?"
A stone egg pops out of the hole in the armor. Demon Bull King growls and reaches for the egg but was too late.
The egg opens revealing MK with the staff in her hand. But her appearance seemed different. The sides of MK's hair had grown out longer and her hair looked wilder than it used to, she also had gained a tail, that twitched. She also had a heart-shaped marking across her face that was a light pink color.
Demon Bull King say questionably, "Monkey King?" Slowly MK opened her eyes seeing that she was floating In mid air and put a hand near her ear and pulled out the Monkey King's staff.
A monkey howling sound came out of MK's mouth before charging towards DBK. Demon Bull King retaliated by shooting his shoulder-mounted cannons toward MK, who instinctively dodged and laughed, "Missed me!"
"Nope," Another blast came towards MK, who moved out of the way in the blink of an eye before taunting the Demon, "Over here!"
MK jumped up and aimed the end of the staff towards Demon Bull King before willing the staff to grow and stretch so it would pin down Demon Bull King. Then MK went closer, swinging the staff in a way that split a building in two before rooting the staff in the broken-off section and pushing it towards Demon Bull King. Demon Bull King was not about to spend another eon trapped under anything, having enough of the new Monkey the Demon Bull King disintegrated the building hoping that it would also take care of the little thief. Seeing that the kid was still in one piece, the Demon Bull King punched MK into the wall of a building.
MK groaned in pain, holding her injured side "You thought you could stand against me little girl," the Bull Demon growled.
"I am the Demon Bull King," the Bull Demon took a step forward that sent shockwaves through the earth, "I will not let a little thief take victory from my grasp."
'Just believe in yourself. Even just a smidge makes all the difference.' Monkey Kings words echoed in her head.
"You might have that old fool's staff," the Bull Demon laughed. The kid's hand grasped around the staff as she pulled herself up off the wall as Demon Bull King continued, "...but you're no Monkey King."
Landing on the ground with a grunt, MK started to stand up and looked Demon Bull King in the face, and stated, "Yeah, you're right. I'm the Monkie Kid.” MK announced before twirling the staff and plunging it into the ground. First, her outfit turned into armor then suddenly the earth below began to break apart and reform around the kid until she was inside a monkey-themed mech. MK looked down at the Bull Demon who stared at the giant mech.
"It's time for you and your family to be going down!" MK said as he summoned the staff and began to dive towards Demon Bull King, "Here comes Monkie Kid!"
The force of the impact caused the planets to shift slightly, leaving a crater where the Demon Bull King kneeled down in pain and defeat, "Im...possible."
Standing outside the crater was MK in the Monkey Mech who folded her arms and said, "Yeah, that's right, I'm bad! Make no mistake, you just got MKO'd!"
Red Son soon emerges from the rubble with bruises and views the scene in front of him. "W-Wow~" He staring at her in awe, he can feel his heart skipped a beat, He coughs, collecting himself before angrily shouts.
"I mean, You think this is over!? It ain't over, bozo! Why don't you just get out of that dorky mech and fight me, coward!" He snarled angrily before collapses and falls down right at his father's feet, making MK giggle a bit.
She was going to pick him back up before her a large tornado appears and suddenly surrounds them.
"We know when we've been bested. But this won't be the last you see of us, Noodle Girl." She laughs before the Demon Bull Family disappeared. MK sighs, "Well, that takes care of that"
"MK! You did it, You kicked DBK's Ass! Without us, the city would've been doomed!" Mei exclaimed.
MK laughed awkwardly as she jumped out of the mech. "Yeah, but you know, I couldn't have done it on my own." Then Sandy appeared behind MK and gave them A hug. "You did it little Lady!" Sandy told her.
"I guess that makes you the new Monkey King now, wait, Monkey Queen?" Mei said, correcting the Queen part, not paying attention to MK getting squished by Sandy.
"How about Monkie Kid? You did say that earlier." Tang suggested, Pigsy came up to her, a smile on his face. "You did good kid, Real good!"
Then Sandy said, "So, what now?" The River demon asked. MK spoke, "Isn't it obvious? Noodles!" She cheered, Mei and Tang along with her.
"Yeah, Noodles! Noodles! Noodles!" They started making their way back into the city, Unknown to the group, a certain orange monkey watched them from on top of the monkey mech.
'Monkie Kid huh? Nice ring to it' He bowed his head in respect with a smile, morphing into an eagle and flew off farther up in the sky.
The End

hey @tallytals!!
I just wanted to say happy birthday to my favorite gremlin.
you jumping into my life last may was one of the best things to ever happen to me, and I still treasure the moment we became siblings.
thank you for being my spark, goofball. happy birthday.
ALRIGHT NO MORE MUSHY STUFF HERE’S YOUR FIC
Well that’s something you don’t see everyday.
Red Son stood outside, peering over a newly carved crater in the dark earth. Steam still drifting up, a reminder of the nature of the impact.
But that’s not the part that intrigued the bull prince.
No, that honor went to the battered robot in the center.
It was fairly battered, with a dark blank screen cracked and receptors cleverly masked as two ears protruding from the top of its head.
A rabbit robot?
Skidding carefully down into the crater, Red Son stepped closer. With his luck recently it might just self destruct on him.
Crouching down beside the ivory bot, his expert eyes began darting to and from areas of interest.
It was salvageable. Yes a few parts needed replacing but that was trivial.
Then again, he could also recycle it. Taking it apart systematically to improve his bull clone design. Whoever made this thing seemed to be an experienced engineer after all.
Red grumbled to himself while he slung the bot over his shoulder, only almost falling backwards once might I add, and began his rocky climb out of the crater and to home.
Reset complete.
Loading sensory processing unit…
“Please work, this is the third time.” A muffled voice pleaded annoyedly.
Loading physical movements…
There was a twitch of a finger when the latest electronic “ding” went off. Virtual eyes flickering to life, the hum of electricity fueling the body.
“YES!! I DID IT! WHO’S THE BEST ENGINEER NOW—” the red demon cut himself off, clearing their throat and resuming a calm stance. “Ahem. Hello. You are a robot I found in a crater, it was I that found you.”
The rabbit blinked.
“…oh hang on.” The demon rummaged through a nearby drawer. With a quiet ‘aha!’ they returned to the robot’s side.
“I forgot to mention your voice box was pretty damaged on impact.” He said, tilting the rabbit’s head upwards to insert a new part. “I don’t exact have a voice box that fits you on hand so I’m hoping this old thing works.” the ivory robot could feel the demon fumbling to open the compartment.
There was a click.
Voice functions updated, status — Poor.
“Now try.”
Summoning their strength, the robot seemed to tense in effort, before a small beep emitted from their speaker.
The demon prince raised an eyebrow. To which another beep followed.
Shaking their head, the robot sat up from the metal work table. Scanning the room, they noted everything with interest into their memory banks. That of which, was completely empty. Interesting. The rabbit started processing the data and how it related back to their creator.
“We’re just going to have play charades then.” Red puffed. “Where are you from? What is your objective?”
A sad beep sounded from the metallic rabbit.
“You don’t know?”
Affirmative beep.
“Do you have a number? A name?”
A shake of its head is what followed.
“Well…I’m not just going to call you ‘rabbit’ forever. It’s undignified.”
A question mark popped up on the robots face as its metal hand pointed at the prince.
“My name?” A nod. “Well of course, my name is Red Son, son of princess iron fan and the demon bull king.” Red Son leaned against the table. “Now for your name..”
Moments passed, seeming lost in thought. The rabbit let their legs dangle off the table, kicking their feet as their body went through stabilization checks.
“Yu Zhi.” Red Son stated. “Your name is Yu Zhi.”
Hearing the excited beep, Red glanced over at the newly named Yu Zhi. One ear was sideways and their eyes were kind. The gratitude was clear.
“Don’t do that.”
It had been a few weeks since that day. Yu Zhi and Red Son fell into a pattern. Zhi would stay in the workshop, (hiding if anyone but Red came snooping.) and await Red’s return.
Yu Zhi gathered more and more data daily, beginning to understand the physical and emotional world around them. The in between the lines stuff that nobody ever said out loud.
Like how Yu Zhi noticed that Red craved approval. Judging by his psychological state alone, it’s pretty clear he was never given any.
That, and Yu Zhi could hear the arguing from the workshop.
And despite Red Son’s instance of a name, he often reverts back to calling Yu Zhi “rabbit.”
It was a “nickname” Red Son had told them. A form of endearment from friends.
While left mostly to themself in the day, Yu Zhi enjoys scanning books to read in a few minutes. It helps them understand the society they quite literally fell into.
“Rabbit? Are you in here?”
Zhi called out with a beep, peaking out from their hiding spot in the closet.
Red had insisted he added pillows, blankets, and lights even after Yu Zhi had tried to show him he physically didn’t need it.
It was..nice. Cozy even.
“You should’ve seen it. if it wasn’t for that stUPID DRAGON HORSE GIRL AND NOODLE BOY—“ he took a breath to steady himself. “I would’ve single-handedly won the race. And mother and father showed up just to out perform me!”
Red slumped next to his robot, arms crossed not unlike that of a toddler in time out.
“Everything’s so unfair. Why can’t something just go smoothly for oNCE?” Red snapped, his hair ablaze.
“-.-- --- ..- .-. / .--. .- .-. . -. - ... / -.. .. -.. -. .-..-. - / .-.. --- ...- . / -.-- --- ..- / . -. --- ..- --. .... --..-- / -.. .. -.. / - .... . -.-- ..--..”
“…you know mORSE CODE?”
“.. / .-. . .- -.. / .- / -... --- --- -.- / .- -... --- ..- - / .. - / - .... .. ... / -- --- .-. -. .. -. --. .-.-.- / .... --- .-- / -.. --- / -.-- --- ..- / -.- -. --- .-- / -- --- .-. ... . / -.-. --- -.. . ..--..”
“I have a lot of time on my hands—and fOR YOUR INFORMATION, I was loved the normal amount.”
“... ..- .-. . / -.-- --- ..- / .-- . .-. . .-.-.-“
“I’m going to burn those books of yours.”
sorry for how short the fic is lol
Yu Zhi is an occupational therapist that insults their clients just a tad more than necessary.
