"MK! You're late, again!" Pigsy's shouting was the first thing MK hears when she enters the restaurant. MK groans, even though it was late she'd managed to deliver her items and now just wants to go on her break.

"I just had to do a double shift at the shop," Pigsy growled at the girl, getting up all in her face. "And you show up late, Again!"

She glanced around trying to come up with an excuse. "Uhh...I was busy doing hero stuff?" She grinned nervously.


"NOODLE GIRL!" came the shout from the redheaded demon. "Step out from your dingy vehicle and battle me!"

Ugh, him again. Why can't he leave her alone already.

"I've got noodles that need to be delivered here. Can't you wait you're turn like all the other demon boys~?" She asked in a joking manner hoping that he'd leave her be.

Red Son appeared confused at her response. "No, it cannot! Not when I— Wait, others!? There are others?!"

Okay, so apparently he doesn't know sarcasm that well.

"For the love of—alright fine!" MK cut the demon off as she steps out of her Tuk-Tuk and summoned her staff. "But you're asking for it."

"Get her!"

Red Son sent his army after MK. She dodges the swing of his bull clones, swerving behind it to jab her staff through it's back. With a grunt, she rips out its circuitry and it falls to the ground.

It took less than 15 seconds for her to break the rest of the robotic clones.

MK panted in exhaustion, wiping the sweat off her face. "Had enough yet?" Her eyes widen when Red Son landed ahead of her, chuckling and grinning menacingly.

"Never..." Then, with a flash, he furiously attacks her with a barrage of punches and kicks which she luckily managed to blocked them.

"Red, come on, What? You're not still mad about what happened with the Weather Station are you?"

Red Son scowled at her, "It was such a good plan too! And you just had to ruin it with your dumb staff and...slightly beautiful face." He muttered the last parts quietly.

"Well I-" MK felt her face flushed at his response. The brunette looked straight at Red Son, her chocolate eyes lit up. "Wait. You really think I'm...beautiful?"

Red Son stands there, trying to process what he just said, his face upgraded to a bright red and his hair fully aflame. "WHAT!? D-DON'T BE ABSURD!" He flailed his arms around. "As If I, Red Son would find someone as the likes of you, gorgeous!!"

MK giggled, her face getting more red. "So I'm 'gorgeous' now, huh?" She cooed, batting her eyes at him.

"AURG!" With an angry yell, Red Son teleported away, along with his discarded army of clones. MK hummed in amusement before sauntered off back to her tuk tuk, and drove back on the street back to work. Hopefully she wouldn't have to deal with Red Son for a while.

But she was unaware of that pairs of eyes were watching her leave from afar.


"Is that right?" Pigsy raised a brow, eyes narrowing. "Then try explaining that to this poor kid there." He pointed to the seat behind him.

"Huh?" She looked over his shoulder to see a little girl sitting at the counter eating a bowl of noodles. The little girl has shoulder-length black hair, a scar on her right cheek and bangs. She is noticeably shorter than MK.

The girl wears a beige long-sleeved jacket over a black shirt, with a pink skirt and black leggings, and white shoes with little black cats on the side. She wears a pink hairband.

"Oh, hello there!" She greeted the kid, sitting down next to her. "What can I do for you?"

The little girl finished her noodles, looked up towards MK, a bright smile on her face. "Hello! You must be MK, The Monkie Kid, right? I'm Bai-He. I've been dying to meet you."

MK gasped, "How did you..." She was about to ask and the little girl, known as "Bai-He" chuckled.

"Everyone knows about The Monkie Kid. How you defeated The Demon Bull King, it was the most amazing thing ever!" Bai he grinned excitedly, eyes sparkling.

MK got all teary eyed, She couldn't believe she had a fan already, and here she is wanting to meet her. She's happy, way too happy.

"Awww! Thank you! If you like, I can tell you everything." MK said, bouncing in her seat excitedly.

"Really!" Bai He asked, bouncing in her seat too.

"Yeah! Let me tell you something, DBK didn't stand a chance against me, at first he had me over the ropes and I was able to..." MK trailed off as she tells the story of defeating The Demon Bull King. Pigsy sighed, shaking his head as MK rambled on with her story.

"Great, Just what she needs, a bigger ego." He muttered, went back to making noodles.

Bai-He cleared her throat, fiddling with her fingers. "Um, if I may. Would it be okay if we were to...hang out?." She asked.

MK gasped with sparkling eyes before nodding her head excitedly.


Soon they were at an arcade. MK laughed has she pulled out her phone and she and the kid took a selfie. "Anti-Gravity Arcade!"

"Alright!" MK laughed has she and Bai-He had fun floating around and playing arcade games.

"It's so fluffy!" Bai-He hugged the plush toy MK had won for her. Next, they visited Sandy's boathouse and drank tea and played with the cats.

Then Mo jumps into her arms and mewled. "Aw, kitty!" She cooed, nuzzling Mo.


Next on the list was...

"Noodle Girl!!"

Red Son materialized from a puff of smoke and fire, grinning evilly. "Finally! I will have you this time!"

"Oh no, not again.." MK sighed in exasperation.

"Who's the whiny guy?" Bai He asked, confused by the red guy wanting to fight MK.

"He's just one of the demons I fight." She said, her voice having a slight hint of irritation.

"Hey! Why don't you just leave her alone!" Bai He yelled, marching over to the demon, ignoring MK's protest.

"Get out my way child, I'd move if I were you..." Red Son threatens, hoping the little mortal would back away.

"Oh yeah, stupid-head, why don't you make me.." Bai-He grinned, which made the fire user mad.

"Why you little-Aaaahh!!" She raised her leg up kicking him between his legs. MK winced as the demon fell over, crying and holding his lower regions. Bai-He huffed and flipped her hair.

Wow, the kid's got some moves.


After spending the entire day together, Bai-He noticed It was starting to get late. "Do you need a ride home? I'd be happy too." MK offered.

She shook her head, "No that's okay, I know my way home, thanks for the great time Monkie Kid." Bai he smiled, shaking her hand. MK chuckled, rubbing her head awkwardly.

"Aww, you can just call me 'MK' kid." MK ruffled her hair playfully, making her laugh.

"Bye then, MK!" Bai He waved before taking her leave. Once she looked back to see MK was gone, she slipped into an alleyway, checked to see the close was clear. "That was easier than I thought." Bai-He murmured as she opened her hand to reveal locks of MK's hair.

She had managed to pick her hair the entire time they spent together.

"All I need is to make some alterations and Bàba's gonna be so proud of me." The little girl grinned, a portal opened beneath her feet and she sunk in.


Later that day, MK was cleaning up around the shop, mopping the floor. She's humming and tapping her foot into the beat while spinning the mop around, using it as a microphone.

I'm on it

I got it

I can do anything

What you need

Got your back

Just say the word I'm there

If you find your world is caving in

You can bet your gonna need a friend

Someone to take those fears Away

Away

Awaayy!

Say the-

"Aaaaaahhhhhh!!!"

She was cut off by someone screaming outside, confused, MK runs out the shop to see everyone running away. "What? What the heck is going on?" She questioned, she suddenly felt a huge gust of wind behind her. She turned around around to see...

A giant Clone Monster...Of herself?

"What the fuu..." She shrieked and dodged a giant fist, she made a ran for it. She glared angrily at the viewers.

"What? Don't look at me like that! I didn't make any clones today! I got rid of them last episode!"

She pulled out her staff and jumped towards the creature, but it wrapped one of its tentacle-like things around her. "Eek! Eww gross" she struggled to get free from its tough grip on her.

"Dammit! Can this get any worse?" She asked herself.

"Hey! Leave her alone!"

A female voice shouted, MK looked down to see the same little girl she met earlier. "What the? Bai He?" She said in disbelief. What the heck was she doing here?

"Bai-He, quick get outta here! It's dangerous!" She grunts, trying to break free. Bai-He shook her head, standing her ground.

"And leave you to clean up my mess? No way." She closed her eyes, and when she opens them suddenly glowed purple, She summoned a staff that looks just like Monkey King's but it has spikes on both ends and it was a light purple.

"What the?" MK stared in disbelief, she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

Did that kid just summon a weapon like she does?

The creature was about to attack until Bai-He uses the staff to attack the monster, slicing off one of its tentacles releasing MK.

MK yelped as she fell but quickly landed on her feet. Bai He rushed to her side. "Are you okay?" She asked.

"I'm fine kid," She dusted herself off, crossed her arms. "Now tell me what the heck is going on? Who are you?" Before she could answer, The clone monster let out a ferocious roar.

"Look, We can talk later, we need to run!" Bai He grabbed MK's hand and they both run for it. They ran back into the shop, sealed it shut.

"Okay we should be safe in here." Bai He said, looking out the window, not noticing that MK was looming over her.

"Good, care to explain yourself kid?" MK demanded, crossing her arms, tapping her foot. "How do you know that creature? How can you summon a weapon like that? What the heck is going on?!"

"Enough! I'll tell you, okay!" Bai He exclaimed, covering her mouth to silence the brunette. She sighed and sat on one of the stools. "It's my fault, i was just trying to prove myself and, it just got of control." She lowered her head as her eyes shadowed.

"What are you talking about?" MK asked her.

"Well, Meeting you wasn't really a coincidence. I knew I'd find you here at this noodle shop, I was dying to meet you—Buuut, it was also to steal your hair DNA." She said, rubbing her arm awkwardly.

"And to think I settled this crap already."

Bai He looked up at her confused. "Huh?" MK quickly corrected herself for swearing in front of her. "Uh, nothing, please continue." She cleared her throat.

And so the little girl continued her story.

"So anyway, after I took your hair sample, I attempted to use the power you had gained from the Monkey King to create a clone. Something to impress my...Bába. But, I dunno what happened. Something went terribly wrong with the spell, a-and the next thing I knew the clone grew and grew and—!" She sobbed, burying her face in her hands.

"Hey, calm down, I'm sure everything will-" MK tried to calm her down but was cut off.

"I swear I didn't mean for any of this to happen, I-I was just trying to show that I could be, you know good enough. A-And that that maybe-"

MK immediately pulled the kid close to her side and shook her head, "Kiddo, Stop. It's okay, I get it. You wanted to prove to them that you were good enough," MK said, rubbing her back in a soothing manner. "And that you're good enough to live up to their expectations, but..in the end, you're just you." She muttered, a frown on her face.

Bai He stared up at the delivery girl, blinking her tears away. "You know how I feel?" She asked, confused that she understood how she's feeling.

MK nodded. "Oh yeah, totally. If I'm being honest this whole "Monkie Kid" bit is all still new to me. Every demon is constantly after me, trying to take my powers and my life." She shuddered.

MK stepped then placed her hand on Bai He's shoulder before speaking, "But Hey, your heart was the right place. Besides everyone makes mistakes, the important thing is learning from them." Bai He smiles at her, but that turns to a frown at she spoke next, "But we still need to fix your mess."

Somehow, in a strange way MK understood her pain, that they were the same. She wanted to live up to be the Successor for Monkey King and this kid the same.

"C'mon, I'll help you. I promise." MK said smiling, holding her hand out. Bai He sniffed, wiping away her tears.

"Thank you..." She took her hand, smiling bashfully.


"Hey, giant version of me!"

The giant monster stopped it's rampaging, turning around to see MK and Bai He standing on the roof of the noodle shop, both their weapons ready.

"So how do you make a clone vanish exactly?"

We can make it dissolve but we need to hit it with everything we can throw at it, think you can handle that?"

Bai He nodded, looking confident as she gripped her staff in her hands. "Yes, ma'am!"

The clone monster then began dashing at the pair, but the duo met it halfway. Both jumped back, then started hitting damage the clone, hoping that would weaken.

"Here...Comes...Monkie Kid!/Girl!

MK and Bai He shouted in unison, they charged towards the monster, destroying it causing a huge explosion, which MK ran over and managed to cover the kids from the debris.

When it cleared, MK stepped back and looked to see that it was gone. "Heh, we did it Bai He—" She stopped, looked around to see the little raven haired girl was nowhere in sight.

"Bai-He? Where'd you go?" She looked around, worried that she was hurt in impact. All of a sudden a piece of paper flew in her face. "Hey! What the?" She snatched it out of her face, taking a look at it.

Thank you for helping me, Next time I'll think twice before tricking you and to clone something again. Hope we can still hang out again.

Signed, Bai He.

P.S: I think "The Monkie Princess" Suits you better than 'Monkie Kid'

MK sighed, dusting herself off. She had the strangest feeling that she would see her again, sooner than later. She turned to the viewers.

"Oh well, at least everything's back to normal!"

"MK! What the hell happened to my shop!!" Pigsy's voice shouted, MK flinched groaning.

"Aw man..."


Meanwhile, Bai-He was sitting at the park bench, she hung her head sighing in relief. "Sigh...Glad that's all taken care of.."

"Oh, I wouldn't count on that, sweetheart."

The little girl froze at the dark eerie voice, a they looked down and shadow looming over her. She looks up to see Sun Wukong hovering above her on his nimbus cloud.

"Eek!" Bai-He shrieked, the look of fear on her face.

"And just where have you been all day, Hmm?" The Monkey King asked, crossing his arms with an angry look on his face.

"Um, I...I was here in the park all day, having fun?" Bai He grinned nervously, hoping he'd by the excuse. "Yep! Totally! Here the whole time!"

However, he wasn't buying her little lie. The great sage frowned, narrowing his golden eyes. "Oh, were you now, so I guess that giant clone monster wasn't your doing then, huh?"

"I...Uhh..."

"You are so grounded, young lady."

"Aw man..." She slumped in defeat. She yelped when he grabs her by the back of her jacket and pulls her up on his cloud. Safely settling her on his lap.

"And don't think I'll tell your Dad about this when he comes home." Wukong said as the two soars away into the sky.

"Noooooo!"
