The TV drones on in the background, talking about the incident that happened a week prior. The rescue that has the city buzzing with excitement and gossip, to the point that they haven't STOPPED talking about it.

Chen eats a bowl of noodles he'd brought with him to Sandy's boat, sitting on a crate as MK tells the story of how he beat the Demon Bull King Family.
The young man swings his staff, this time being careful what he was doing. "And I was like, "Stop there, Demon Bull King." And DBK's all like, "You can't stop me! I'm cwazy!"" MK says, impersonating the demon bull. Mei giggles.
Feeling a buzz vibrate in his pocket, Chen sets his unfinished bowl of noodles down momentarily, bringing out his phone to see who the text message is from.

It was from PIgsy, demanding to know where he is. Chen huffs, knowing that Pigsy had visited his apartment, only to realise the young man wasn't home. Sending him a quick text explaining that he was with MK, Mei, Sandy and Tang, he puts his phone back in his pocket, reaching down to his bowl of noodles to resume eating.
When his hand feels nothing but air, Chen quickly looks down to see his food gone. Looking around, he spots the culprit; Tang sitting in front of the TV eating a bowl of noodles.

He was about to get up to confront him, when he spots Pigsy marching up the dock already. Uh oh.

The shop owner reaches Tang first, and the man looks up at him in surprise, spitting out his noodles.
"I've just pulled a quadruple shift at the shop. And I show up to see you've all been slacking off all day!" he yells. Tang laughs, leaning back into his seat. "Oh, Piggy, relax! A little time off never hurt anyone!" he explains. MK, who'd previously been panicking about a leak in Sandy's boat, joins Tang. "Yeah! A time off never hurt nobody!"

Before Pigsy could argue back, he spots Chen in the background, trying to sneak away. He points an accusing finger at him, making him stop in his tracks. "And YOU! You're meant to be resting at home!" he says sternly.

Chen rubs the back of his neck, as he begins to dig through his pocket. "Well, uh, you know...I don't need to anymore." he explains, pulling out his doctor's note. "The doctor said I was all healed and didn't need to do that anymore." he chuckles nervously.
Now Pigsy was furious. Steam practically escapes from his ears as he glares down at Chen. "WHAT?!"

Chen raises his hands. "I was gonna tell you eventually! I just wanted to have a few more days off." he tries reasoning, looking away sheepishly.
Pigsy was about to argue more, when Sandy yells out in a panic. "LOOK OUT!"

The group look up, spotting a shipping container dangling above them by a crane. The chains keeping it suspended snap, and it hurdles towards them. Everyone ducks for cover, except for MK, who is immediately crushed by the heavy object.
Everyone stares, shocked. "KID!"

The container shifts and wobbles, before MK bursts through the top. "I AM INVINCIBLE!" he yells excitedly, unscathed by the impact. Seeing this, Mei giggles with glee, running off screen as everyone sighs in relief at the news. Straightening his posture, Pigsy turns to MK, concerned. "Look, MK. Just because you have the Monkey King's powers and all, it don't mean-"
Everyone gasps, as Mei pulls out a bazooka missile, aiming it at MK. "MK! How about this?"

She fires, and MK laughs as the missiles strike him. Yet he emerges unharmed once again. "I AM INVINCIBLE!"

Pigsy is about to scold him again, but gives up, growling as he rubs the bridge of his nose. "Look, kiddo. You're a superhero now. You're going to need-"
"A cape!" Mei interrupts once more, as she begins to measure him. "Maybe a logo, or a headquarters! Some vehicles..."

As Mei continues listing items, Chen walks up to the unsuspecting Tang eating HIS noodles, arms crossed as he scowls down at him. Tang finally notices his presence. Slurping up the noodles he was eating, he laughs nervously. "Y-you were done with these, right?" he asks.
Chen's brow deepens, tapping his foot. "You better pay me back, Tang." he growls. Tang nods quickly, sweating. "Of course! Maybe uh, next week?"
Chen scowl darkens. "I'll be counting the days, Tang."

The young man leaves him be, and Tang wipes the sweat from forehead. "Sometimes that kid is just a little too much like his dad." he mutters. Sandy, who overheard him, nods. "Like father like son."

"TO THE SEA-CRATE BASE!" Mei calls out suddenly, as she opens a door on Sandy's boat. Chen looks up in surprise, as everyone else quickly gets inside, filled with awe and excitement. Pigsy rubs face palms once more, as both he and his son join them.
The door lead to a small elevator, and everyone had to squeeze inside just to fit. The elevator goes down, and the doors open to reveal an underground base full of all sorts of stuff, from vehicles to a tv and vr set and everything in between. Every looks around in amazement.

"Welcome to our new team base!" Mei introduces. MK had stars in his eyes. "Mei, when did you make this?!"
"HOW did you make this?" Pigsy pipes up, confused on where all this had come from.

Chen wanders up to a motorbike, the main base of the vehicle being black with red and gold stripes. He checks over it, thinking about how fast this thing could really go. He'll have to test it out at some point.
He smirks, remembering the race coming up in a few months. Maybe this could be his vehicle, and he won't have to ask Pigsy if he could upgrade the food truck.

"Welcome to the Weather Station," a robotic voice greets over the intercom, as the doors open. Inside, many people were enjoying the indoor resort, minding their own business and having fun. ",where you'll notice another beautiful day. Here at the Weather Station, we control the city's weather to bring you a perfect day everyday."

A couple laugh, splashing each other in the indoor pool. As the intercom continues talking, no one notices a young red-haired demon walking toward the control panel.
He clears his throat, and the worker at the control panel turns to him lazily, tired eyes looking him up and down. "Uh yeah, hey kid. I'd like to help you and your friends, but I'm pretty busy." he explains.

Red Son smirks, holding a flame in his hand. Several Bull clones stood behind him, awaiting his word. "Not for much longer." the red-haired demon says. Without saying a word, the bull clones attack the weather station, scaring everyone out of the building.

Sitting in the swivel chair, Red Son gives it a dramatic twirl, giggling to himself as he turns to the control panel. Pressing a button, he starts to broadcast a message to the city.
His face covers every screen in the city, making sure that EVERYONE saw his message. Clearing his throat, he smirks. "Citizens. It is I, Red Son. I have taken control of the Weather Station and I will harness the very power of nature to return my father to his former glory!" he declares, as everyone watching looks on in confusion and concern.
Below the Weather Station, bull clones attach cables to the tower, sparking it with electricity.

"This message is more of a courtesy, really." Red Son finishes. Pushing a lever, he cackles as it causes a storm to appear all over china. He watches the screen with glee, as everyone in the flooding rain areas run around in terror.

—

"When I'm finished, my father will once more dominate the world! And then- oh look! A lightning button!"

The message cuts, and MK and the gang flinch as they hear a crack of thunder followed by a bright flash of lightning in the near distance.
"OH YEAH!" Mei and MK yell excitedly, and PIgsy turns to them, furious. "What do you mean "oh yeah"? This ain't an "oh yeah" moment!" he yells, shoving Tang's face into the bowl of noodles. The man doesn't struggle, accepting his fate.

MK turns to the chef, waving him off. "Chill out, Pigsy. I'm invincible, remember?" to prove his point, Mei throws several things at him, the young man unphased by her actions. "If he wants to tussle with the champ, then I say bring it!"
"Yeah! Cause he's a superhero, yo! The Red Baby is gonna get M.K.O'd!" Mei pipes up.

Chen, who was previously sitting on the couch, gets to his feet, rolling his shoulders. "Oh, count me in! I want a rematch with that spoiled edgelord." he says. He turns to join MK and Mei, as Pigsy looks between the trio. "Wha-Chen!" he cries out, even more frustrated. Chen shrugs nonchalantly, shooting his pops a grin. "What? You really think I'm gonna sit aside while I still have a fight to win?" he asks.

Pigsy groans. "You've got a lot to learn, kids. Don't just dive head first into danger- wait, what did I just say?!" he screams, as MK zooms off on his staff laughing. "Totally invincible!"

Chen growls, running into the secret base for a brief moment, before bursting out of the elevator on the motorbike he'd been examining earlier. He chases after MK as he disappears. "Leave a piece of that demon for me, MK!" he yells, as Pigsy shouts in frustration at the two disappearing kids.

– – –

Back at the Weather Station, Red Son was busy slurping on a smoothie, his feet resting on the control panel as he watches the large screens before him.

MK bursts through the door, brandishing his staff before him. "Not so fast, Red Son!" he shouts. Red Son chuckles, swivelling his chair to turn to face the young man nonchalantly. "Noodle Boy! I thought I smelled some garbage! Turns out I was right!" he cackles.
"Laugh it up now, Hot-head, cause you're going down!" Chen declares, as he walks through the door.

Red Son leans against the arm of the swivel chair, his chin resting on his fist. "Well, well, well, if it isn't the Rat I pummelled into a pulp. You here for another beat down?" he cackles again, and Chen growls.. Taking a deep breath, he smirks back at the red-haired demon.
"I'm here for a rematch. I underestimated you last time, and I promise that it won't happen again." he states matter-of-factly.

"Prepare to be M.K.O'd!" MK cries, swinging his staff. Mei, who'd just arrived with Sandy, Tang and Pigsy, jumps up excitedly. "Yeah, MK! You show him who's boss- AH!" she cries out in pain as MK's out-of-control staff slams into her head, knocking her over. Pigsy yells out. "Jeez, watch what you're doin'!" he shouts at MK, who in turn panicked, trying to gain control of his staff. "Ah! Sorry, Mei!"

As he turns, the staff extends, almost hitting Chen, Pigsy, and Tang. Luckily all dodged. But unfortunately for Sandy, who hadn't seen the weapon coming, the golden staff hits him square in the face, knocking him unconscious. Tang panics, seeing the large blue man's soul leaving his body. "Oh, no! You killed him!"
"Eh, he's a big guy." Mei says nervously, pushing Sandy's soul back into his body. "He'll be fine."

Red Son groans, growing bored of the circus before him. "You dorks done beating each other up yet?" he asks. MK points his staff at him. "Yes, and you're next on my list!" He throws the golden staff toward Red Son. But unbeknownst to him, the staff lands behind him, extending and jabbing him in the back, throwing him out of the Weather Station.

The bull clones surround the gang, as Pigsy and Chen get in a battle stance. Red Son approaches them, a malicious grin on his face. "I guess the garbage takes itself out now!" he cackles. Chen groans, rubbing his face. "That is...wow." he mutters.
Red Son's facial expression falls for a brief moment, replaced by a scowl. But it quickly returned. "Didn't the Rat want a rematch?" he questions.

Chen looks around, noticing the bull clones make room for the two of them, trapping them in a circle. He was cut off from Pigsy and the others.
Taking off his jacket, Chen throws it aside, out of the way.

*Red Son attacks first, smirking as he charges forward at inhumane speed. Chen barely had time to dodge the first blow, reeling his head to the side as Red Son aimed for his cheek. The red-haired demon didn't stop there, though. He aimed repetitively at the young man, moving so fast the Chen almost didn't see them coming.
He had to do something, fast.

Drawing his fist back, he makes his own blow, aiming for Red Son's nose. The young man's fist collides with his eye instead, and the demon hisses in pain.
Mei cheers in the background, but Chen ignores her as the demon glares at him. "YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT!"
Chen smiles. "Didn't you say that last time?"

With a frustrated yell, Red Son charges again, and Chen blocks his blows and kicks, shielding his face with his arms. His body shifts with each punch, pushing him closer to the bull clones.
Chen forces his own punches through, missing on some and getting his target on others. Right now, he wasn't exactly aiming; just trying to get Red Son to step back.

It works, as the demon takes one step back, fist lighting up into flames as he goes in for another punch. Chen quickly steps aside, grabbing Red Son's arm and yanks him forward, pushing him to the floor and pinning him down. Mei cheers on the side lines.
Red Son wasn't down for long, though.

His hair bursts into flames, and Chen lets go out of surprise as the fire travels up his arms. The demon uses this to his advantage, knocking off the young man and scurrying to his feet. Once he was up, he immediately whirls around, sweeping a leg under Chen and knocking him over. Once the young man was on the ground, several bull clones pounced, tying him up tightly in a rope.

"Wha-hey, that's cheating!" Chen growls, as Red Son, brushes his jacket down. He smirks, as the bull clones give the rest of the gang the same treatment. "Seems like the Rat underestimated me again." he chuckles. Chen shrugs. "I don't know, it seems to me like you were REALLY worried I almost beat you."
Red Son growls at this statement, hair lighting up once more. "That's not true!"
"Is too."
"Is not!"
"Is too."
"IS NOT!"

– – –

All around the Weather Station, dark clouds rumble as lightning crackles, waiting to strike. Two figures approach the towers, as Red Son has his back turned to his hostages.
He chuckles, watching the screens. "Peasants."

"Spoiled brat." Chen counters. He, PIgsy, Tang, Mei and Sandy were all tied up, put into a pile. Pigsy turns to Chen, shooting him a warning glance. "Chen..."

Red Son growls, whipping around and marching over to them. Chen looks up at him, unfazed as the demon points an accusing finger at him. "And you! I demand to know where you're from! I know I've seen you somewhere, I never forget a face!"

Chen shrugs. "I don't know, demon. I've never seen you in the 20 years of my life. Maybe you've just got a bad memory." he states. Red Son growls once more, not liking this answer. "I don't have a bad memory! I swear, if you're messing with me-OW!" he yelps in pain, trying to draw his finger back. But Chen, who'd bitten the demon, doesn't let go, and Red Son starts frantically waving his hand around to try and shake him off. "LET GO OF ME YOU RABID ANIMAL!"

Eventually, the bull clones pull Chen off, but Red Son doesn't get much time to recover when a familiar voice calls out from above. "Oh, Red Son!"
The gang and the demon look up to see MK crash through the glass roof, landing before Red Son...flat on his face. Getting to his feet, he faces Red Son. "Let's settle this for real!"

Red Son, wiping the left over spit on Chen's hair, laughs at MK, oblivious to the young mans growls from behind him. "HA! You're back to beat yourself up some more?"
"Hey! I'll have you know I can control my powers now. Only downside is I'm not invincible anymore, so I could die." he adds. He realises his mistake too late, as Pigsy and Chen begin to shout. "WHAT?!"
"WHY WOULD YOU TELL HIM THAT?!"

"Forget I said that! I got this!" MK leaps into the air, spinning his staff as he charges Red Son. "Here comes Monkie Kid!"
Red Son charges too, a bunch of bull clones behind him. MK, seeing the situation, panics and runs in the other direction. "I totally don't got this!"

Chen watches as the young man before him dodges the bull clones attacks in disbelief. "How in the heck did he beat DBK again?" he asks sarcastically.
But when MK and Red Son go one-on-one, his interest piques, and he watches intently for the demons fighting pattern. How he fought was...pretty amazing. More tactical and strategic than street fighting.

Red Son finally lands a heavy blow, sending MK into the control panel. Chen winces as the young man lets out a scream of pain. "Oh, that's gotta hurt."

The bull clones pile onto MK, the red-haired demon landing on top with a grin. "Not so tough without all your Monkey King powers, are you?" he cackles.

Suddenly, the golden staff grows taller, striking Red Son and all his clones and pushing them high into the sky. They're left up there, overlooking the city.
MK moves over to the control panel, noticing a certain large button. The young man grins, eyes shining. "Oh, look! A lightning button!" he mimics, pressing it.
Lightning strikes, and Sandy shields the tied up gang, protecting them from the powerful blast.

When the dust clears, the bull clones are all destroyed. The staff shrinks, and Red Son falls back into the weather station.

The demon gets to his feet weakly, growling. "You may have won this round but...you're still garbage!" he screams, disappearing in a fire tornado.

MK fixes the city's weather, and Mei slams into him, knocking him over with ease. He lays there, wiped out.
Sandy, who'd somehow untied himself, unties PIgsy and Chen. Chen rubs his wrist. "Well, that was certainly exciting." he chuckles.

Pigsy whacks him upside the head, and Chen yelps as he rubs his new injury. Pigsy starts to scold the young man. "When are you gonna stop picking fights you can't win?! A couple of street fights streaks ain't gonna do nothin' against a demon!"
Chen chuckles, closing his eyes as he gives the chef an apologetic look. "Sorry, Pops."

He turns to MK. "So, you really limited your powers?" he asks, trying to distract Pigsy. It works, as Mk rubs his neck sheepishly. "Yeah. Just till I learn to control them better." he explains.
"And how are you gonna do that?" Pigsy questions. Chen unties Mei, freeing her from her prison as MK starts spinning his staff. "Practise, practise, practise!"
He accidentally knocks himself on the head, knocking him down once more. Everyone cackles, and Chen helps his friend to his feet. "Great job today, MK." he says.

MK smiles, thanking him, when he suddenly remembers something. "Oh, yeah! Monkey King says that he wants to meet you!" he says excitedly. It takes a moment for the sentence to process, and everyone turns to him in disbelief. Tang has stars in his eyes, shaking out of pure excitement. Pigsy, Sandy and Mei looked surprised.

Chen was the most shocked out of everyone. "Wait, what?"

– – –

A/N: Line i was going to put in but i decided against it cuz it didn't sound like Chen but i still found funny. "That was your best roast? That was worse than Joe's!" Red Son, looking at Chen confused. "Who the fuck is Joe?" Chen: "Joe Mama!" Mk wheezing in the background.

Mei when Sandy's soul is leaving his body: BITCH YOU AINT GOIN NO WHERE GET TF BACK IN-

*you can clearly tell I've never written a fight scene like this before and im SO sorry its bad
