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, 3 and 4, and four volumes of the Monkey TV series on Video cassette. In short, I'm poor, so don't sue me.

Chapter Three :

Elsewhere :

Pigsy groaned for what Sandy thought was the eight hundredth time, in the past ten minutes.

"Ohhh, Sandy. What are we going to do? We lost the master and the horse, we allowed ourselves to get tricked by a mortal, and get ourselves tied up like this. This is so embarrassing. I just hope Quan Ying of the sat Vega aren't watching."

Sandy glared at Pigsy.

"The star Vega. HAH! Because of your stupid lust for her, it got you cast out of heaven, by the Jade emperor to Earth, in that bovine form of yours!"

Pigsy returned the glare.

"So? At least I didn't break the Queen mother's Jade cow statue, like you did! And how did you do that? YOU were fighting with Monkey, at the gates of Heaven! Your banishment from Heaven was just. Mine wasn't!"

Sandy tried to hit Pigsy, but all that served was to tighten their bonds around them even more. The two spirits sighed and slumped against the tree, heads bowed.

"This is still your fault Pigsy. You allowed yourself to be guiled by a mortal woman, and we failed not just the young master, but also the Father Buddha as well! You really are a fool."

Pigsy rolled his eyes.

"I didn't see you stop me from running. If you had, we wouldn't be here! You're as much to blame as I am."

Sandy was about to respond, when he heard the sound of troop movement. He raised his head and looked down the path.

"Be quiet Pig! Something's coming."

Pigsy turned his head to the side.

"Is it the musician? She's come to rescue us, hasn't she?"

Sandy sighed and shook his head. Pigsy was, most of the times, one of the most annoying stupid individuals he has ever been around. Even before their banishment from Heaven, Pigsy was still the same.

Sandy raised his head and saw soldiers, soldiers wearing green armour approach. The leader of the troop, a young man wearing white and blue armour and his companion, a tall man with a long, flowing black beard pulled their horses to a stop and dismounted. The two men approached Sandy and Pigsy, caution marking their movements. The black bearded man spoke.

"Two 'people' tied to a tree near a desert. It would must likely of been a Wei general who did this. I'm guessing Zhang He."

The white armoured man nodded, as he motioned one of his men forward, a water flask in his hands.

"You're right Guan Yu. Still, we can't leave them here like this. If we did, we'd be no better than the Wei."

Guan Yu nodded as he raised his weapon.

"I agree with you Zhao Yun." He looked at Pigsy and Sandy "Don't move."

The blade slashed down, severing the rope binding Pigsy and Sandy to the tree. Zhao Yun handed them the flask.

"Here, drink your fill."

Sandy nodded in gratitude.

"You have my thanks and." eyes wide "PIGSY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!"

Pigsy had grabbed the flask and in seconds had drained it of it's contents. He sighed.

"Oh, that was beautiful. Do you have anymore? Or better yet, any delicious food? Or any young, delectable maidens with you?"

Sandy rolled his eyes, as Guan Yu and Zhao Yun looked at each other. Sandy spoke quickly.

"You must forgive my friend. He's rather. simple and stupid."

Pigsy looked around and saw his weapon, his muck rake as well as Sandy's Water staff lying nearby. He grabbed both weapons and threw Sandy's weapon to him.

"That's it Sandy! On your feet! It's time we settle this, once and for all! No priest and no Monkey here to stop us!"

Sandy sighed, as Guan Yu stepped forward.

"I'm sure your friend meant no disrespect, but judging from your current condition, the two of you are in no position to duel. I suggest you accompany us to our capital, and explain your story to our lord."

Sandy stood on his feet, bowing to the warriors.

"Normally we would, if our master was with us. However, we have to search for him. He was taken from us, by warriors wearing blue armour and colours."

Zhao Yun hissed.

"Wei! I knew it! They're up to something Guan Yu, I swear my life on it!"

Guan Yu nodded.

"Indeed. In that case, we must return to the capital, post haste." He looked at Pigsy and Sandy "The information the two of you have, will be most useful to our lord."

Sandy sighed.

"I suppose there is nothing we can say, to prove we have nothing but noble intentions. You see, we, along with our master and another, are on our way to India, to find Buddha's scriptures and return with them. We have to hurry and."

Guan Yu raised his hand for silence.

"I understand, however, that makes no difference. If Wei's ruler, Cao Cao is planning a new campaign, we must have as much information as possible, to fight him effectively." He face lost some of it's sterness "I'm sorry."

Sandy nodded sadly.

"I see. Very well, my name is Sandy, and my 'companion' is called Pigsy."

Zhao Yun stepped forward.

"Well met. I'm Zhao Yun, and this is Guan Yu."

Guan Yu turned and walked back to his horse and mounted. He looked over his shoulder.

"Guan Ping, bring the two spare horses and give them to our guests."

The young officer nodded and rode forward leading two horses. He gave the reins to Sandy. Sandy bowed and gave one set of reins to Pigsy and mounted his horse. Pigsy tried and fell onto the ground. After multiple attempts, he finally sat in the saddle. Zhao Yun smiled as he mounted his own horse and resumed his position at the front of the troop. He bade Sandy and Pigsy to join himself and Guan Yu at the head of the troop as well.

"Come, in two days ride, we'll be at our capital, and lord Liu Bei will receive you. Have no fear, he is a just, wise and compassionate lord."

As the troop rode off along the path, Sandy raised his head to the sky.

**Monkey. Where are you? You must find the master!**

Death's Head - Not one of my better updates I know, unfortunately, I've been having more problems not just with my ISP, but also my crappy PC. Hopefully I'll have at least my PC sorted out soon, and I'll have ago at rewriting this chapter. Until then, R&R please.
