Meanwhile on Sandy's ship, they were sailing peacefully through the sea as a unique butterfly fluttered into the ship, then it landed on the boxes as it watched MK using the staff, acting like the Monkey King and started speaking. "Halt, evil monster, I must thwart thee! For I am...the Monkey Ki-ahhh!" The staff suddenly extended as it nearly hit Mei, who was unknowingly calm about this.
"Whoo! That was awesome!" Mei cheered as MK got up and apologized her best friend. "Shit! Sorry, Mei!" She then picked up the staff as she looked to see a unique butterfly landed on her hand and looked at her, she started at the butterfly back until a smiled appeared on her face and started cooing quietly. "Well hello there, little butterfly~"
MK lift her hand up in the air as she watched the butterfly flutter away, she then turned around to see something glowing from a distance, which she realizes it led them to Flower Fruit Mountain.
"We're here! Flower Fruit Mountain!" She spoke out happily as until she screamed in fear when a geyser came out all of a sudden, nearly hitting the boat.
Pigsy and Tang screamed as the boat leaned sideways, causing one of Sandy's crates to drop over the ocean, she watched it float away until she noticed something else.
"Huh?" She and the others looked to see the Flaming Mountains. "Whoa!" She awed at the sight as Sandy spoke up "Welcome to the Flaming Mountains, gang! A volcanic ring surrounds the mountain making it virtually impassable."
Then Sandy started explaining once more "This path is the only safe way through. That's as close as the boat can get. Just...be careful." While he and Tang stayed at the boat.
"Be careful my precious baby!~" Tang called out to her.
MK, Mei and Pigsy started walking as Pigsy started to grumble in anger "Stupid Sandy, Lousy husband of mine, staying cozy in their stupid boat. What did I do to deserve this, Noodle Gods?" As soon as he said that, a geyser of fire suddenly errupted from the ground, scaring him in a process, making him froze in the spot.
"Careful, Piggy. Yhee! You gotta wonder why Monkey King decided to live here of all places." Mei wondered as she gasped as she and Pigsy tried to warn MK whiched she hadn't noticed and spoke "You know, when Monkey King had to get through the Flaming Mountains, he actually used Princess Iron Fan's fan to blow..."
She then noticed a shadow coming from the smokes until she heard a laugh along with it was a voice. "Well, well, well. Aren't you a little Monkey King fangirl?" The smoke cleared to reveal Princess Iron Fan, her eyes glowing bright yellow.
She then used her fan called the Magic Fan and puts it into the fire. She then brings it up and throws a huge fireball. MK and the others ran before the fire could hit them, making them stumbled back at the explosion as they groaned in pain "Kids! Is everyone okay?" Pigsy asked worriedly and panic until Princess Iron Fan snickered "I'll be taking that staff now."
MK and Mei then both got up as MK started speaking. "So not! This belongs to the Monkey King. There's no way I'm letting you take it!" Princess Iron spoke as soon as MK finished her sentence.
"Oh, you're just a little noodle girl playing at being a hero. Sorry to disappoint. Playtime is over." Princess Iron Fan glared as MK started running towards her as Pigsy tried to stop her. "Kid! No!" She screamed as she used the staff and tried to land a hit on Princess Iron Fan, until she used Red Son's gauntlet to stop the hit, MK opened her eyes as she looked at it with shock. "What?"
Before MK could process, she was then launched in the air, making her scream as she was send flying back.
Mei and Pigsy looked at the direction MK was launched, their expressions filled with horror as Mei cried "No! MK!"
She tried to go after her best friend but grunted when a fire geyser errupted blocking her path, Pigsy then grabbed Mei as he spoke. "Mei! We've got to go!" Tears filled Mei's eyes as Pigsy started to get Mei and himself out of the firey place, he looked at the direction MK was launched one last time as he quietly and sadly spoke. "I'm Sorry, kid." He started running while Mei struggled.
Princess Iron Fan laughed as she looked at the staff. "At last! The full power of my beloved will be unleashed!" She then disappeared in a wind tornado, heading back to the City.
Back on Sandy's boat, Tang, Mei and Sandy stood solemnly on the dock. thunder rumbles within the dark, smoke covered skies, surrounding the volcanic ring. "She can't be gone, She just can't!" Pigsy spoke sadly, Sandy puts his hand on Pigsy's shoulder. "I'm sorry, Pigsy."
"There was nothing we could do." Tang's voice whispered loud enough for them to hear. Pigsy stared at his husband in disbelief.
"Nothing? Nothing?!" I could 'a done something!" he rages as he marches towards Tang and grabbed his scarf, glaring at him. "I could 'a...I should've protected MK!"
Hot tears stung at his eyes. he felt completely useless. He couldn't do anything, he felt Tang wrapped his arms around him in attempt to comfort.
Even when he wasn't show it, But Tang is hurting too, blood related or not, MK was their baby girl.
Pigsy sighed, lowering his head. "It's over."
"It's not over." A hand makes its way into the pig demon's chin, forcing him to look up at Tang who had a sad smile on his lips.
"We can't help MK, but we can make sure no more lives are lost, make sure her sacrifice wasn't in vain." Tang said.
"Someone has to fight." Mei growled, as the others turned to look at her. Mei wiped away her tears and turned to look at them. "That Bastard Demon Bully took my best friend from me, and now he's going to... " Her frown turned to a crazed smile, green lightning and her dragon was seen in the background.
"...Pay.." She finished.
"Then what are we waiting for?" asked Sandy, pulling the three into his arms. "Let's go stop some bad guys!"
MK wakes up with a groan as he feels something poking her cheek, the teen opens his eyes to come face to face with a group of white mountain monkeys, all of them taking a second to look at the teen before jumping her.
"Ah! No! Wait! Don't!" MK begs as she's bombarded by monkeys.
She launches to her feet, throwing the monkeys in process, while shouting to get off of her. She sighs in relief as they were gone, she stopped and looked around at where she was. "Whoa, Flower Fruit Mountain." She awed at the sight as she got up much to the monkey's dismay as they tried to get her to sit back down and pet them more, until MK promised she'll give them more pats on the head once she met Monkey King and visit them someday.
She started the long journey up climbing.
~ON THE TRAIL, WE BLAZE, ON THE TRAIL WE BLAZE..~

MK groaned, flopping down onto the ground as she finally reached the top of the mountain. "I made it!" She gave a shaky smile before standing up.
'A waterfall?' She thought, admiring the waterfall blocking her way. MK puts her hand through the waterfall, gasping in awe when a golden symbol appeared before her. What was even more shocking, was when the waterfall split open, revealing a cavern inside.
MK walked in looking around at the beauty inside. She gasped when they reached a large mural, which showed Monkey King, and all of his friends from the journey.
"Whoa," MK said, walking closer and inspecting the mural. "Hey, that's the Monkey King!, She gasped and saw the others. And that's Zhu Bajie, Monk Tang Sanzang, And Sha Wujing!" Before the delivery girl could geek out some more, MK gasp and hissed in pain, suddenly feeling lightheaded.
All of a sudden, her eyes were glowing.
"Ugh! What? What's happening? what's wrong with my eyes?!" MK was looking at the mural, It was glowing a golden hue, as images surround her.
"Wow, that's monkey king being born from a stone! And when he got his staff from The Dragon of the East! Woah! Ahh! Huh?" MK looked in a different direction and sees Monkey King smiling at her before running away.
"Monkey King? Wait, Hold up! Monkey King!" MK shouts before chasing after the monkey. She stopped running to catch her breathe, she gasped at the scenery. There was a little cabin with a peach tree behind it, a row of stairs leading up to the cabin. "Monkey King?" MK calls out.
There was no reply...
MK grits her teeth, kicking a nearby rock. "Ugh! what the hell was I thinking?" She sat down as she held her legs to her chest as she continued speaking, tears of sadness seeping out her eyes.
"I can't believe for a moment there, I thought.. She sighed. "Tang was right, I really am delusional.." All of a sudden, A butterfly had landed on MK's hand.
She sniffed, wiping away her tears. "Oh, hello there little butterfly." She smiled, gently petting the wings.
"Sup?" The butterfly unexpectedly spoke. MK screamed, frantically waving her arms around to try and shake off the butterfly, which now stood on the ground, "Yes, yes. It is I, the Monkey--Gaugh!" the butterfly was interrupted as it was squashed by MK, creeped out. "Is it dead?"
The butterfly started to shine a golden color, not wanting to what happens next, MK ran and hide behind a rock. "Eek!"
MK peered from behind the rock and watched as the butterfly began morphing into an eagle, then a tiger, then a bear, before finally showing its true form, revealing to be the one and only Monkey King.
"M-M-Monkey King?!" MK eyes widened in shock as she stuttered.
"Yup! The one and only!" He made a show of looking around. "So...where's my staff?" The simian king froze when he saw MK standing there, eyes welled up with tears, not sure how to react.
"I'm so sorry!!" MK exclaimed, bowing down in front of Wukong who jumped in surprise before the teen lifted her head up. "I tried to bring it to you, but Princess Iron Fan came and took it! She's got this tricked out glove and--" MK tried to explain, her ramblings was cut off by Monkey King laughing, as he crouched down in front of MK.
"Calm down sweetheart, I know, I know. Look I might as well come clean. Um...I've been kinda watching you." Monkey King spoke as he looked away from MK, scratching his head.
MK's eyes widened, "Say What?" MK asked , not fully understanding before recalling the events that happened, involving her and an animal. "Wait, so that was you!?" MK asked with disbelief. Of course as the girl was realizing this, Wukong had grabbed a stalk of bamboo, and was now using it as a back scratcher.
"Ha! The look on your face!~" Wukong laughed, pointing at the teen, before using the bamboo in his hands, and shoving it in her face. "You're perfect!~"
"Perfect for what, exactly?" MK asked, watching as Monkey King, went back to using the bamboo as a back scratcher. Wukong put the bamboo down and did a dramatic pose. "To become...my...SUCCESSOR!"
However, MK wasn't impressed right away, "Uhh, are you sure you're the Monkey King?" MK asked began poking and pulling at Wukong and his fur. "You've been cooped up in here way too long! I think your brain went mushed up."
Monkey King stopped her with his tail and gently set her down. He turned to rummage through a pile of junk.
"Listen kid. You fought demons and you didn't die. And you made it here. not just anyone can lift my staff. But you did." He pulls out a bag of peach chips, opens the bag, pulling out a chip, stuffing it in his mouth.
"But what about DBK?" asked MK. Wukong only scoffed, summoning a cloud and laid on it with his peach chips.
"What about DBK? you can handle it. Consider this a trial." he laughs, throwing another chip in his mouth.
"But I..." MK sighed. "What if I mess up again?" Monkey King seemed to notice her urge to cry again, sighing, as he approached her.
"Look, if you can lift the staff, you can use it." he smiles at MK placing both hands on her shoulders. "You just gotta believe in yourself. Even a smidge makes all the difference."
A smile came onto MK's lips as he continued speaking. "Now, are you gonna just stand there, or are you gonna go get back the staff that was taken from you?" Monkey King grins, crossing his arms.
"I'm gonna get it back!"
Only...there was once slight problem.
"Um, how are I supposed to get back?!" MK asked. MK spotted some monkeys jumping on a crate, she takes a peek open, revealing to be a jet. "Alright! No we're getting something!" MK cheered.
before she left, she ran back to hug the Monkey King a hug, which surprised him at first. "Thank you Monkey King." She smiled brightly before getting onboard and looking at the controls. "Umm, okay it can't be that hard to fly. It's for ages 8 and up." She pressed a button and it takes off, blasting away..
"Whooo-hooo! MK is blasting off again!"
A smile escaped from the golden simian's lips as he watches her leave. "Eh, cute kid." He then goes back to his business.
"Bàba, Monkey Cop is on!" A female voice called out from inside his house.
"Ooh, don't start without me!" He rushes inside.
Meanwhile back in the City, the city was in terrible state as Demon Bull King continued wrecking havoc around as bull clones scattered around, suddenly Pigsy's food truck came out of nowhere and ran into the bull clones, everyone in the truck was screaming, one of the bull clones was targeting Pigsy's food truck as they released the barrels.
"Oh, no! Their secret weapon: barrels!" Tang shouted as they managed to dodge the barrels and landed safely on the ground, they had dark looks on their face.
Then, Red Son appeared in front of them in a fire vortex and spoke "So, you wanna be heroes, huh? Let me show you what happens to heroes!" Pigsy angrily grunted as he walked towards him and spoke "Ugh! I've had it up here with these demon punk-"
He was then cut off when Mei puts her hand in front of him and spoke in a dark voice "I'll handle this bitch."
Mei then proceeds to use her dragon powers until the Cloud Jet cut off her powers as MK screamed while Mei looked up to see her. "MK?" Then the jet crashed into Red Son as the others looked at the damaged jet until MK came out with her hair messy and a bit bruised, she groaned in pain as she mumbled out "Damn that hurt."
Her friends look at her in relief as Mei and Tang cried tears of happiness while Sandy sighed in relief until Pigsy shout out. "Kid!"
Then Mei ran towards MK as she spoke as she hugged her best friend. "MK! Oh my goodness! We saw you blast into the fire. I...I thought you were all like, pew! Ah! But-But you're not!" Mei spoke while Tang poked Red Son with a stick, making sure he was alive after that crash, as Red Son felt like he lost his soul.
Then Mei continued. "So how you get the jet? way to trash it already. Hold on, Monkey King, did you find him?" She asked.
"Heck yeah I did!" MK answered happily. Mei had stars in her eyes while Pigsy spoke. "So, where is he?" asked the pig demon.
"He said, it's up to me. To us." The Mei Spoke. "Well, that's anti-climatic." Then an explosion suddenly ruins the reunion, looking up to see Demon Bull King, ten times larger then his usual self hovering over the city.
"And how are we supposed to fight that?" asked Tang. MK looks down at her hand, clenching it into a fist as she spoke. "We believe in ourselves. You guys clean up the streets, I'll stop DBK, somehow." She mumbled out loud.
Mei looked at the Cloud Jet. "Yeah. this jet probably would've been really useful, hey?" Mei kicks the broken down jet, a motorcycle, rolling out the other side.
"Oh, that'll work!" MK spoke.
"Go get 'em girl!" Mei cheers as MK got on the bike and drove into the city to fight DBK.
MK hopped on the cycle and hit the gas, driving towards the area of the city that the Demon Bull King was terrorizing by utilizing the road that was under construction. MK made a B-line towards the Demon, who had noticed the kid's approach and scowled. "The little thief returns."
Demon Bull King began to shoot lasers from his gun arm that was aimed toward MK who managed to dodge each one by bouncing on the tires of the motorcycle. When MK reached the end of the road, she hit the petals and was launched into the air toward the Demon Bull King. Suddenly it was like time itself slowed around the kid as gold flooded her vision.
"Ugh, again? Why is everything gold again?" MK looked over at Demon Bull King, realizing that she was seeing the Demon's skeleton that had a giant hole in the center of the chest. On closer inspection MK realized that inside that hole was the Monkey King's staff.
she knew what he had to do, "The staff."
She drives himself into the hole of Demon Bull King's armor. Demon Bull King laughs, "Now this world is truly mine!" He then stumbles back, losing his power. "What is this?"
A stone egg pops out of the hole in the armor. Demon Bull King growls and reaches for the egg but was too late.
The egg opens revealing MK with the staff in her hand. But her appearance seemed different. The sides of MK's hair had grown out longer and her hair looked wilder than it used to, she also had gained a tail, that twitched. She also had a heart-shaped marking across her face that was a light pink color.
Demon Bull King say questionably, "Monkey King?" Slowly MK opened her eyes seeing that she was floating In mid air and put a hand near her ear and pulled out the Monkey King's staff.
A monkey howling sound came out of MK's mouth before charging towards DBK. Demon Bull King retaliated by shooting his shoulder-mounted cannons toward MK, who instinctively dodged and laughed, "Missed me!"
"Nope," Another blast came towards MK, who moved out of the way in the blink of an eye before taunting the Demon, "Over here!"
MK jumped up and aimed the end of the staff towards Demon Bull King before willing the staff to grow and stretch so it would pin down Demon Bull King. Then MK went closer, swinging the staff in a way that split a building in two before rooting the staff in the broken-off section and pushing it towards Demon Bull King.
Demon Bull King was not about to spend another eon trapped under anything, having enough of the new Monkey the Demon Bull King disintegrated the building hoping that it would also take care of the little thief. Seeing that the kid was still in one piece, the Demon Bull King punched MK into the wall of a building.
MK groaned in pain, holding her injured side "You thought you could stand against me little girl," the Bull Demon growled.
"I am the Demon Bull King," the Bull Demon took a step forward that sent shockwaves through the earth, "I will not let a little thief take victory from my grasp."
'Just believe in yourself. Even just a smidge makes all the difference.' Monkey Kings words echoed in her head.
"You might have that old fool's staff," the Bull Demon laughed. The kid's hand grasped around the staff as she pulled herself up off the wall as Demon Bull King continued, "...but you're no Monkey King."
Landing on the ground with a grunt, MK started to stand up and looked Demon Bull King in the face, and stated, "Yeah, you're right."
"I'm the Monkie Kid," MK announced before twirling the staff and plunging it into the ground. First, her outfit turned into armor then suddenly the earth below began to break apart and reform around the kid until she was inside a monkey-themed mech. MK looked down at the Bull Demon who stared at the giant mech.
"It's time for you and your family to be going down!" MK said as he summoned the staff and began to dive towards Demon Bull King, "Here comes Monkie Kid!"
The force of the impact caused the planets to shift slightly, leaving a crater where the Demon Bull King kneeled down in pain and defeat, "Im...possible."
Standing outside the crater was MK in the Monkey Mech who folded her arms and said, "Yeah, that's right, I'm bad! Make no mistake, you just got MKO'd!"
Red Son emerges from the rumble, viewing the scene in front of him, Not only was his father was defeated by the Noodle Girl, but she even managed to summon a golden mech.
"W-Wow," he stuttered staring at her in awe, "She's amazing~" He coughs, collecting himself before angrily shouts.
"I-I mean, You think this is over!? It ain't over, bozo! Why don't you just get out of that dorky mech and fight me, coward!" He shouts before collapses and falls down right at his father's feet, making MK giggle a bit. She was going to pick him back up before her a large tornado appears and suddenly surrounds them.
"We know when we've been bested. But this won't be the last you see of us, Noodle Girl." She laughs before the Demon Bull Family disappeared.
MK sighs, "Well, that takes care of that"
"MK! You did it, You kicked DBK's Ass! Without us, the city would've been doomed!" Mei exclaimed.
MK laughed awkwardly as she jumped out of the mech. "Yeah, but you know, I couldn't have done it on my own." Then Sandy appeared behind MK and gave them A hug. "You did it little Lady!" Sandy told her.
"I guess that makes you the new Monkey King now, wait, Monkey Queen?" Mei said, correcting the Queen part, not paying attention to MK getting squished by Sandy.
"How about Monkie Kid? You did say that earlier." Tang suggested, Pigsy came up to her, a smile on his face. "You did good kid, Real good!"
Then Sandy said, "So, what now?" The River demon asked. MK spoke, "Isn't it obvious? Noodles!" She cheered, Mei and Tang along with her.
"Yeah, Noodles! Noodles! Noodles!" They started making their way back into the city, Unknown to the group, a certain orange monkey watched them from on top of the monkey mech.
'Monkie Kid huh? Nice ring to it.' He bowed his head in respect with a smile, morphing into an eagle and flew off farther up in the sky.
