Is it me or does Jack really loves the monkey staff, at every opportunity to hold it in the cartoon he does and in one incident he gets tricked into turning into a monkey completely!
In another way we've also seen how Shen-gong-wu can turn pretty nasty, changing their owners into monsters.
Well here's my question what would happen if Jack got a little too attached to the monkey staff?
Addiction
Chapter one: life as a human sucks!!
Jack stormed in and slumped down, throwing down a soggy school bag that made a disgusting squelch noise as it hit the floor. This was the end result of someone thinking it would be hilarious to try and flush his bag down the loo and then give him a swirly when offering to help him get it out.
God it sucked going to high school, if it wasn't the pupils it was the teachers they always thought he cheated. If Jack cheated anything it was PE he could train for years but all he had to show for all his showdowns and chasing around was bruises and a skinny frame.
There in the corner stood his salvation, the only thing of late that made him feel better and happy.
The monkey staff.
He took it up and held it close as he felt the changes begin, fur sprouted as his spine grew longer and became a tail. His toes grew longer and finger like and the instincts came flowing in sweeping away and horrible feelings he had.
Made sense really have you ever seen a depressed monkey? Do monkeys get sad or angry if someone flushes their homework down the loo or if their parents ignore them.
Nope, not at all monkey love swinging around and having fun!
Jack leapt out into the garden and headed to the little wood at the bottom, he clambered up into his little fun place. This was tonnes of ropes and tyres and all sorts hanging from the branches making the tree tops a monkey paradise. He swung around on a branch relishing the feeling of the hard rough wood around his toes and he chewed on a banana.
Times like this he would have contemplated on staying like this, but no not since Chase had tricked him into holding it for so long he forgot he was human! Losing his humanity altogether was where he drew the line.
Jack swung around to look at his Detect-o-bot bleeping at him; he somersaulted down and activated his Heli-bot so that he took flight before he hit the ground.
As he flew he began to regret not thinking it through and getting his jet or some sort of sheltered transport. A big storm was looming overheard and Jack was already getting soaked and the wind howled around him yanking him from his course.
He put his goggles over his eyes to shield them and then flew down into the trees; he grasped the Monkey Staff and began to sprint across the tree tops instead.
Thunder rumbled overhead and Jack spun around to see a lash of lightning crack down like a whip, he barely dodged it but the branch he grasped had broken away he fell crashing into branch after branch. He fell to the floor with a sickening crunch and glanced up just to see the Xiaolin Dragons fly over head, his entire body ached and hurt but the darkness loamed in like a tidal wave…
It was nearing midnight as a circus wagon trailed past, the rain lashing down and the winds whipping the tent flaps dangerously, the ringleader stopped when he saw a crumpled form by the road.
A human monkey wearing black rags with wild red hair and pale skin, a rarity if he ever saw one; it was unconscious no doubt knocked down in the storm. He could see the blood trickling out from it's leg.
"You two carry this thing into the back wagon and tend to its wounds" he barked "Then placed it in one of the cages"
The monkey whimpered as they picked him up roughly and dragged him back, as the wrapped his leg up Jack opened his eyes groggily for a second.
"uuhh… where am I?" he whispered "Where…"
Then darkness claimed him again…
