Author's note: Wow! I can't' believe how popular this story is, but I also want to make a special thank you to my beta 777angeloflove and to Grammarly for helping me with anything that I missed in the previous chapters. I'm not good when it comes to fighting scenes but I'm learning as I go, so please bear with me.

Summary: It was a time when Heaven and Earth coexisted...peacefully. Where demon and humans were more than neighbours, they were brothers. Here, civilization and faith were born, the foundations of man. It was Shangri La... But then the brotherhood of man and demon turned. The humans became able, to demons Cane. They grew angry and powerful and hungry. And they convened far to the west under the command of one

In The Palace of the Setting Sun, a familiar Sanzo Priest is in a meeting with Three Aspects.

"Priest Sanzo, you are given the mission to travel to the west as an order from the Merciful Goddess." Commanded the Three Aspects.

"Am I to travel alone?" asked Sanzo.

"No," replied the Three Aspects. "You are to travel with Goku, Hakkai, and Gojyo."

"I'll admit that they make good companions but are they at risk of getting affected by whatever is happening to other demons?" asked a very worried Sanzo.

"They are demons, this is true, but they are also human. Therefore they can retain their sense of self and not give in to the darker aura... They have a power and a spiritual strength. They are the trump-cards in your hand." Explained the Three Aspects.

Reluctantly Sanzo agreed and left The Palace of the Setting Sun to return to the Keiun Temple.

Back at the Keiun Temple, one of the monks noticed Sanzo's return."Sanzo, thank goodness you've returned, the brat is eating the peaches again!" exclaimed the monk.

"Take me to her," commanded Sanzo.

As the monk and Sanzo walked to the temple's garden and both of them noticed a bunch of other monks surrounding a tree and on top of that tree was a young teenage girl that looked about fourteen-years-old. The girl herself has long brown hair that reaches to the back of her knee-caps and her outfit consists of a white shirt with loose, above-elbow sleeves, off-white jeans held by a black belt, and white shoes.

"Goku, get down from that tree!" commanded Sanzo. "And stop eating the peaches!"

"A peach is a peach is a peach. Get over it," said Goku. "And besides is not like the Merciful Goddess will actually eat this."

"It doesn't matter Goku," Sanzo said. "Now please get changed, we're leaving!"

Knowing that Goku wouldn't get her own way, Reluctantly went down the tree and went to her room. Goku's room changed in the past three years instead of a bed shaped like a cloud, the bed is an oval shape and the bedding is homemade (it was made by one of the female villagers who fell in love with Goku) and the colour is some form of blue and has the images of butterflies and flowers and over the bed a sheer ocean coloured canopy, while her bedroom walls are now the colour of nature.

'What did Sanzo mean by we're leaving is it a mission or something?' thought Goku while putting on a vest-like garment with black trim with white, claw-like spikes curving from the black trim. The garment is fastened by a black over-shoulder belt, she is also wearing white and black shoulder guards. While trying but failing putting her hair in a high ponytail.

Goku then left her bedroom and found Sanzo at the entrance waiting for her and both left the temple in search of Goku's brother and mother figures to help them on their mission.

Later that night, Sanzo and Goku made a makeshift camp, and both are seen eating meat buns that the village gave them.

"Sanzo, why are we looking for Hakkai and Gojyo?" Goku asked suddenly.

Sanzo looked at Goku and gently explained what is happening to Shangri-la and what might be potentially be causing the minus wave.

"Hmm... So we get to this India place-wherever that is-find out who's messing with magic, make sure this Gyuuma-guy stays dead, you look good for the three heads, and the demons go back to bein' our buddies, right? Let's do it!" summarised Goku.

Saying those words did Sanzo hit Goku with his paper fan and quickly told Goku to go to sleep and waited for her to fall asleep and as soon as she did, Sanzo quickly followed.

Meanwhile, in a local town two men are seen gambling on one of the tables, one man has red hair and eyes, while his outfit consists of a blue leather collared vest with a white tank top underneath, brown baggy pants with a large black belt tucked into his tank top and black boots, he is roughly 6'1 in height. The red-haired man won the game and suddenly the man turned into a demon and tried to kill the red-haired man but failed as the red-haired killed him with his Shakujo.

"All of that for a game of cards." The red-haired said suddenly and quickly left to find his room-mate.

Somewhere outside of the town, a man is seen riding a Jeep in the middle of a fog.

"There is some serious spiritual shit goin' down... So you can drive a little faster if you want," the man said suddenly.

Then out of now where a child lept out in front of the jeep and the man stopped suddenly and realised quickly that the child had taken off his power limiter and quickly reserved and left the forest while wondering what is going on.

The next day, Sanzo and Goju left their makeshift camp and found themselves in the middle of a fight.

"Goku be careful they took their power limiters off," Sanzo warned Goku.

"I'll be fine," reassured Goku, "besides I have my Nyoi Bo." By those words, a staff appeared in Goku's hands like magic and then attacking the demons.

She then used her staff to jump high and used a Crescent Kick in the demon closest to her, as the demon went down Goku then used her staff and hit the demon with it and the demon vanished.

As for Sanzo he happily dodged the punches that the other demons were throwing at him, and Sanzo then got fed up by the attacks he then used his S&W-M36 to shoot the demon, and the demon vanished just like all the others.

Suddenly, Goku and Sanzo heard two voices on top of a cliff that sounds similar to them. Goku then looked up and noticed it was Hakkai and Gojyo. Hakkai tends to favour clothes that, while in good repair, the range on the slightly baggy side of the spectrum. On top of the clothes, he is also wearing a white cloth.

The two latecomers then joined the fray and Hakkai surprised Goku with his new move called 'Qi Gong' and as soon as the fight started, the fight ended.

And the family then started their journey to the west.

Glossary

Goku's martial arts move:

Crescent Kick-can be used as an offensive or defensive manoeuvre. To perform this move, lift your left knee up in front of you. Kick with your left foot in a circular, clockwise motion. Hit a target with the inside edge of your left foot. If you execute a crescent kick with your right foot, then kick in a counterclockwise direction. Hit a target with the inside edge of your right foot. A prime target for the crescent kick is an opponent's head. Defensively, you can use a crescent kick to block an oncoming attack. For example, if an attacker thrusts a stick at you, you can knock the weapon to the side by kicking the attacker's hand.
