Hmmm...say, theoretically, when SWK gets possessed, could it be possible that MK also drains LBD of her power when SWK attacks? I mean, he won't be doing great emotionally at the sight of that?
Theoretically...
If thats what happens in the story (spoilers >:))
If the possession were to go like in canon, it would end up like this:
MK, 100% stressed: "At least there's an up side to this??"
Possessed!SWK: *doing 0 damage*
Macaque, fighting Possessed!SWK: *also doing 0 damage* "I wanna say you're doing great, but if I do the fight gets harder."
LBD:
The Mayor: "It's like watching two training dummies boxing."
haven't watched season 4 yet huhhgngg no spoilers plz
Back in December, there was a period of time where these two idiots were stuck in brain and I literally couldn’t think of anything else so these doodles are a subsequent result of that
I'm so happy this series finally showcased what an absolute POWERHOUSE Sun Wukong is (I was genuinely getting concerned by how nerfed he seemed at times).
It's really funny how confident LBD was at the beginning. "Even now I sense you do not have what it takes to defeat me." Proceeds to absolutely destroy her ass.
"My power has far surpassed what it was when we last met in battle." Girl....how weak were you before now??? Cause if this is an improvement I can't see the previous battle being much of a struggle for him.
This really makes me wonder why in the world he felt intimidated enough to go look for a weapon to defeat LBD in the first place. He was throwing her around the entire time and only briefly struggled when not-mayor joined. And even then it took like thirty seconds for him to put him out of commission. And it's not like she planned to posses him either, it just happened due to her desperation.
Taking into account the room Tang, Chef Zhu, and Sha Dali found, I'm choosing to believe the original battle between SWK and LBD was a source of trauma for SWK (side-eyes a certain theory I've read) hence why he was so frightened of her.
Sequel to this post on Macaque being back in the "Century Stone Egg Au".
After the pregnant Monkey King breaks his shock, he'd run to embrace Macaque, even if he'd just been super close to clawing his eye out (again) and that they're last meeting was a huge fight. He only holds back because he's honestly a little scared/worried how and why Macaque is there. Wukong is immediately trying to apolgise for his violent reaction, but Macaque just laughes out; "Nah, it's my fault. Should've asked first." It's only with the shadow monkeys' breathy, almost *fond* laughter that Wukong realises that Mac is truly there for peace. Mac's interaction with PIF further confirms this.
The reincarnation gang + the dragon couple are super sketched out though. Pigsy is the one to loudly ask "How do you know it's him and not some weird copycat?", mostly cus he's legit worried for Wukong in this moment. Somebody's dead partner don't just show up one day!
Wukong responds with his Gold Vision + its hard to fake the way Mac smells. The gang still refuse to leave the two alone together until they recieve a decent explaination.
The fact that Macaque literally looks like he crawled out of the grave quickly gives everybody a bad feeling, and they def force Mac to sit down and explain how tf he came back to life before he's even allowed smell Wukong.
Macaque: "I may have agreed to do something... kinda stupid in hindsight."
Wukong, : "Mac... look at me. What did you do?"
Macaque: "...ok don't be mad."
Wukong: "I'm preemptively seething."
Macaque: "I accepted a deal from the White Bone Spirit."
Wukong: "I'M FURIOUS!!!" *starts throwing whatever's closest at Mac*
Macaque, dodges a pillow: "Pfff! Calm down, it's not like I'm actually gonna do it! She brought me back to life to release her from a tomb or something and I chucked the key away the second I got back."
The whole Room: "..."
Wukong: "Mihou... thats the stupidiest thing you could have done!" *summons hair clones to throw stuff at Mac*
Macaque, now failing to dodge fruit: "OW! Why are you upset!? We both know nothing good will come of letting that demon free!"
PIF: "Mihou, if this Bone Demon was able to bring you back from the dead, then she has the power to track you down and recind her offer."
Macaque: "...so you're saying that I have to fufill her deal, or I might get dragged back to Diyu?"
Wukong and PIF, at the same time: "YES!!!"
Macaque: "Shit."
The Whole Room: *covering Red and Mei's ears* "LANGUAGE!!"
Tang: "You should work on that before the baby gets here.
Oh you better believe Mac's in the doghouse until they can figure out how to resolve the LBD business deal. PIF calls up her lawyer to go over the exact terms and conditions.
Fire Star: "Ok, I've got good news and bad news."
Macaque: "Bad news first."
Fire Star: "The Lady Bone Demon's geas is airtight. You will have to open her tomb *slash* free her spirit in order to keep your place in this mortal realm - less you be recalled at a later date for a task of similar value or until she makes you redundant."
Pigsy: "Translate for the non-lawyers please."
Fire Star: "Either he does it, or she makes him do it, or she just takes his soul."
Macaque: "Shit."
Wukong & PIF: *glaring daggers at Mac*
Macaque: "So what's the good news?"
Fire Star, slyly: "Those are the only conditions to the geas. There's a reason you need lawyers for these kind of things nowadays. She didn't stipulate say... where to release her. Or whom would be present to greet her when her tomb opens."
Everyone: *shares similar delighted/scheming looks*
(*a few hours + a few calls to a worried Nezha later*)
Macaque: *unlocks LBD's tomb*
LBD: "Freedom! Freedom! Fr-"
All of Wukong's allies in the Heavenly Army + Diyu officials:
LBD: "Oh bother."
As the Bone Demon gets carted away for conspiracy to destroy the world, she gets yelled at by all of the Underworld/Diyu officials that now have to deal with the fallout of her actions.
King Yama: "Do you understand how much paperwork I have to do to mark this monkey as alive!? He doesn't have a death date! It's been blotted out! I'll be correcting his files for months!!"
Macaque: *high fives Fire Star for the solid lawyer-ing*
As far as Hell/Diyu is concerned, Macaque performed a service and was paid upfront. They don't want the headache of trying to take him back if his mate (someone who's trashed Hell before) wants to keep him.
Wukong is still super-mad at Mac for a variety of reasons, don't get hom wrong. But he's atleast glad in the moment to have his mate back. And glad that LBD is gone for the forseeable future.
