DYNASTY WARRIORS : MONKEY MAGIC
********************************************************
Death's Head - Well, here I am, writing my THIRD Dynasty Warriors story. Why am I writing one, then stopping and writing another, then another? Simple. Writer's Block. I start writing a story, and keep going until I get stuck, then I start another. When I get stuck in the second, I can usually go back to the first and continue that one. Not so in this case. Anywayz, I don't own Dynasty Warriors OR Journey to the West OR the TV adaption of Journey to the West, known as Monkey or Monkey Magic. I only own Dynasty Warriors 2 and 3, and four volumes of the Monkey TV series on Video cassette. In short, I'm poor, so don't sue me.

Chapter Two :
High in the sky above the Wu Zhang Plains :
A small cloud zipped along the sky, darting and diving at the commands of the enitity riding it. Having mastered all seventy two transformations, eaten all of the three different varities of peaches in heaven's peach garden as well as the art of cloud flying, Monkey, Great Sage and Equal of Heaven, was happy. Of course, he had accomplished all those deeds before Buddha had imprisoned him under a mountain for five hundred years. Fortuntaly, the Goddess Quan Ying, had been correct in what she had told Monkey. He was released from his prison by the young priest Tripitaka, to join him on his pilgrimage to India.
As he flew, he happened to glance down, and saw mortals fighting. He chuckled. He enjoyed a good fight, unfortunately, ever since he joined the priest, his days of fighting have been severly limited, thanks to that accursed ring around his head and the headache sutra the priest had been told by Buddha, to keep him in line.
As he looked down, he saw a small group of soldiers, wearing red armour surrounded by what appeared to be bandits. He smiled. Tripitaka was nowhere near him and if he wasn't anywhere nearby....
"I can have some fun, REAL FUN!!"
Monkey flew his cloud until he was directly over the fighting. He pulled from behind his ear, a small stick, only the size of a strand of hair. As he twirled his arm above his head, the stick grew larger and larger until it was a full size staff. Monkey's Magic wishing staff, which he had 'acquired' from the dragon of the western ocean.
Monkey couldn't help but laugh as he watched the battle before him, the red armoured warriors, were down to only a handful of soldiers were left, against overwhelming numbers. Oh how Monkey was going to enjoy himself.
Meanwhile, Sun Ce and Da Qiao, as well as their bodyguards were all that was left out of a resupply troop, headed towards a small outpost near Chi Bi, when they were ambushed by bandits. Now, Sun Ce and his wife were fighting back to back, surrounded by their bodyguards, who were themselves surrounded by the enemy.
"Just like old times, huh Da?"
Da Qiao rolled her eyes as she fired an arrow into one of the bandits, watching him fall.
"Tell me about it Ce. Remind me of all the good times we had, when it's just the two of us left here!"
Ce laughed as he hefted his twin weapons, the Conqueror, and prepared himself. Da fired her last arrow at the bandits, then dropped her bow. She retrieved from her dead horse, her battle fans, Grace and readied herself. One by one, their boduguards fell, until only four remained. The bandit leader rode his horse through his troops and stopped in front of the Wu warriors, a haughty, superior look on his face.
"Well, well, well, looks like the mighty Wu is about to lose two of it's officers." He paused as he studied the two before him "I do believe we have here the son of the Wu himself, boys. What do you say to that?"
A voice echoed out, not from his men, nor the warriors before him, but from above.
"OI! YOU! WANT TO FIGHT DO YOU!"
The bandit leader looked up, eyes wide as he saw the figure standing on a cloud.
"What is this..?"
Monkey smiled.
"Heh, heh, heh, I'm Monkey, Great Sage and Equal of Heaven! Ready to fight, BANDIT!??!"
Monkey leaped off of his cloud, and lashed out with his weapon, sending the bandit leader flying. As Monkey hit the ground, he attacked the bandits with a fury the likes of which no mortal has seen on Earth before. Sun Ce and Da Qiao watched, spellbound, as this entity, this monkey, attacked their enemy. Da looked and saw a bandit fire an arrow at their rescuer. She leaped in front of the arrow's path, and blocked it with her fans. Sun Ce and his remaining bodyguard attacked the bandits, fighting alongside Monkey.
"I don't know who you are, or where you came from," Sun Ce looked at his saviour "But thanks."
Monkey laughed as he bashed three bandits with his staff.
"No problem. Let's have some fun!"
Sun Ce laughed.
"I like the way you think! Let's go!"
Both the monkey king and Wu general fought against the bandits, slaying numerous numbers. Unfortunately, the four remaining bodyguards were killed, leaving Monkey, Sun Ce and Da Qiao alone.
Monkey snarled.
"If only Pigsy and Sandy were here, then this would be no problem."
Sun Ce looked around.
"If those are friends of yours, and they fight half as well as you do, then we definately could use them here."
Da Qiao grimaced as she threw one of her fans, broken by the continuous blocking, at one of the bandits.
"Well Ce, looks like this is the end, unless our friend here has a trick up his sleeve."
Monkey suddenly grinned.
"Oh, but I do." He thrust his staff into the ground, then reached into his shirt. With a grunt, he pulled some of his hair free.
Sun Ce looked at him.
"What are you doing?"
Monkey smiled.
"Watch."
Monkey muttered softly, and then blew into the hairs, letting them drift away. As they did, each hair grew into one of his monkey warriors. Soon Monkey, Sun Ce and Da Qiao were joined by a hundred warriors. Monkey laughed.
"OK THEN! LET'S FIGHT!!!"
Monkey lead the charge, and fought with renewed ferocity. Sun Ce and Da Qiao doing their best to keep up. Fortunately, a horn sounded and Sun Ce smiled.
"About time they showed up!" he looked at Monkey "Reinforcements have arrived!"
Monkey swung his staff in a wide arc, sending eight bandits flying.
"I'm not going to let them spoil my fun! The priest does that all the time! Not now!"
Da was about to say something, when a bandit leaped at her. She could only stare as the bandit came closer and closer, and then another battle fan caught the bandit in the chest sending him backwards. Da turned, and when she saw who rescued her, a big smile spread on her face.
"XIAO!"
The reinforcements, were being led by Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao. The force was only a few miles behind Sun Ce's own troop, and the young Wu lord smiled. Monkey, even though he loved a good fight, was slightly glad that help had arrived.
No sooner had Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao led the reinforcement charge, the bandits turned tail and fled. Sun Ce laighed as he watched them flee, as Zhou Yu rode his horse up to his brother in law. He looked at the monkey warriors as they vanished, and then turned his gaze onto Monkey.
"Sun Ce. I take it we got here just in time?"
Sun Ce looked over at Zhou Yu.
"What kept you? You missed all the fun!"
Zhou Yu shook his head and chuckled.
"Always find the fun in everything, eh Ce?" he motioned towards Monkey "Who's your friend?"
Before Sun Ce could respond, Monkey walked over.
"I am King Monkey, Great Sage and Equal of Heaven." He stopped in front of the mounted Wu warrior, arms folded across his chest "And who are you?"
Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce, who nodded.
"I am Zhou Yu, strategist for the Wu kingdom." he motioned to the woman on the horse next to him "And this is my wife, Xiao Qiao."
Monkey dipped his head in acknowledgement.
"Nice to meet you. I have to go and find my friends. And knowing them, one of probably stuffing his face, full of food and wine, while chasing women. The other is probably sitting on a rock somewhere, complaining about how dried out he is, and how much he misses his lake. The priest, being the priest is probably meditating over how to do this, or how to do that. And the horse.." he snorted "The horse is the only one who behaves himself. Hard to believe he was once a dragon."
Sun Ce laughed as he walked over to Monkey.
"Sounds like some real fun friends."
Monkey chuckled.
"They can be. Anyway, I must leave you now. Who knows, we may meet again."
With that said Monkey turned and whistled, summoning his cloud. As it appeared, he leaped into the air, landing on it. He turned and looked back at the Wu warriors. Da Qiao called out.
"Good luck Monkey!"
Monkey smiled and nodded.
"Good luck to you too, Wu warriors!"
Monkey then flew off, fast acriss the sky. Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce as he mounted a spare horse, Da behind him.
"And where did you meet him?"
Sun Ce smiled.
"He just... fell out of the sky."
Zhou Yu chuckled.
"Alright then." he faced his troop "Everyone, let's go!"
The Wu force made their way over the plain, soldiers talking amongst themselves of what just happened. Da, holding unto her husband as they rode, spoke to Ce.
"Do you think we'll meet Monkey again?"
Sun Ce shrugged.
"Who can say. He's a fearsome warrior, and we can always use another. Still, who knows?"
The troop continued on it's way, unaware of what Wei had done and how Monkey and his friends, would soon become very well known to not just Wu, but to everyone in the three kingdoms. ********************************************************
Death's Head - And the second chapter is up. Monkey coming to the aid of Sun Ce and Da Qiao, and having fun, in his own unique style. Pigsy and Sandy will be in the next chapter update, which may be up before New Year, but more than likely just after. R&R please.
