Red Son is currently seen flying his rocket jet with MK holding onto his waist, and the twins clinging to her. Unknown that Spider Queen and her henchmen were watching him.
"Target acquired." Target acquired," Syntax says from the controls, Spider Queen and the little girl watching with disinterest.
Pressing a few buttons, Syntax pulls a lever, activating the mech's weapons, rockets are sent flying towards Red Son and MK, who was quickly alerted of the incoming danger, dodging the rockets with a laugh.
"Incoming!" Savage yelled, now noticing the stray rocket coming towards them. Red gasped, MK closes her eyes hugging Red Sons waist, the rocket nearly hitting them as he escapes, Syntax grits his teeth, lifting his visors over his head while Spider Queen shook in anger while the girl beside her frowns, looking unamused.
"Haha, we're alive!" Rumble cheered.
Back at the docks, the spider mechs slowly approached the boat. Mei, Tang and Pigsy were huddled together, shaking in fear while Sandy tried to get control of his ship.
Pigsy turned to Sandy. "Uh Sandy, any day now!"
"I'm still working on it!!"
Suddenly, a voice can be heard coming from the shadows. "Now, now, my pets. Be patient!" They saw one of the spider henchmen, Huntsman coming out of the shadows with a smirk across his face.
"Daddy's gonna have his fun."
"Uhh, Sandy.." Mei shakily said, clinging to Tang and Pigsy.
"Get us out of here!" Pigsy shouted, terrified.
Sandy quickly rushed into his living room, tossing the furniture in a frantic haste "Uh... Uhm... Here?" Then he spots a chest. "Uh! There!" He rushes towards the chest and throws out random junk has he searched.
"What's the rush? It's not so bad if you go quietly." Huntsman grins as he makes a slicing motion across his throat. "The transition will be almost painless!" He cackled.
"We can handle one of her lackeys," Pigsy grunts. The earth shakes, revealing a much larger spider behind Huntsman. "Two of her lackeys? Oh boy." He gulped.
Huntsman takes out a bola like web as his companion pops his neck.
"Sandy! Now or never!"
Sandy kept searching until he found it. "Ah! Found it!" He smiles and holds up the remote in the air then presses the button and a loud explosion was heard, all four turning to see a large, red and gold drone, all four stared up in awe as the drone hovered above them.
"He can't escape!" Huntsman shouts.
Sandy gathers the others in his arms and picks them up. "Come on, let's go!" He tosses them onto the airship quickly jumping in behind them.
Huntsman was quick to throw a tracker on the ship before it took off, once they were in the air, Sandy released the four from his grasp, dropping them on the floor.
"So, what do guys think? Been saving her for a rainy day." Sandy said with a smile. Mei got up and leaned over the ship's railings. "Real cool, Sandy." Then she took out her phone and pointed it towards the city. "It's awesome for taking in... the horrifying vistas." Mei groaned miserably.
"Incoming!" Tang yelled, pointing up at the sky, They all looked up at the sky to see that a flaming bike was coming full speed in their direction.
The gang all screamed, and Sandy ran in front of the group, drawing back his fist and hitting the vehicle, shattering it to bits, when the smoke from the impact cleared, they all blinked in disbelief as they saw Red Son in Sandy's hand.
"It's...Red Son?!" Tang shouted in surprise, Sandy realized what he had done and dropped the demon prince.
"Get him!" Mei yelled, everyone dog piling on top of the Fire Demon.
"Get the hell off me, filthy peasants!!" Red Son growled, struggling against them. They heard a groan and they saw a figure crawling out of the pile of rubble their jacket over their face. "Look, he has an accomplice!!" Mei points her dragon blade at the figure.
"Mei, wait it's me!" the figure said flipping her jacket to reveal to be MK.
"MK!!!" Everyone shouted in shock and relief, Mei ran towards her pulling her a hug. "You're alright, thank goodness!"
"Of course I'm I'm okay really, Red Son swooped In and saved us from those spider drones." MK said.
"Wait, Us?" Mei said confused, she yelped when Rumble and Savage appeared from behind her.
"Hello!" Rumble greeted.
"Hey~" Savage grinned, flirted.
Mei shocked look turned into a smiling beam, she picked the two up and hugged them. "Awww, they're so cuuute!"
"Thank you for saving my little girl!" Tang hugged Red Son tightly. Mei then snapped out of her cutesy phase, dropped the twins and points toward the Bull prince. "Red Boy didn't hurt you did he? He's probably one of Spider Queens henchmen, sent to capture you!!" Mei said glaring at the fire demon.
"Henchmen?" Red Son bellowed, blasting everyone off him. "Not that any of you would care, but my father was captured by that eight legged FREAK!" Red Son spoke, his voice cracking with emotion. "So if you'll excuse me, I'll just steal this ship and be on my way."
"Say What!?" They all exclaimed.
Red Son grunts loudly. "Ugh, fine! Will you let me steal your ship so I can go save my father and also the world from this spider menace, please?" Red Son asked his patience running thin.
"Are you serious?!"
"No!!"
"You've got some nerve!"
"Seems pretty convincing."
"Well I obviously can't use mine, it's busted!" Red Son motioned to the rubble from his jet before sighing. "But I got one thing I do have, is this" The red-headed teen pulled out a vile of green liquid.
"Oooh, what is it?" Rumble asked, looking up at it, she gagged as the smell was burning her nose.
"The Spider Queen's venom, it's turned everyone into her slaves, but I can make an antidote," Red Son puts the vile back into his coat. "However, I'll need supplies, and the only place to get them is... The Celestial Realm." He said dramatically.
"The Celestial Realm?!" Tang squealed in excitement, pushing past the others up to the front, eyes sparkling in excitement. "The realm of Heavenly Deities and Immortal Beings?!"
"Sure, whatever." Red Son deadpanned, rolling his eyes with an irritated sigh, already regretting asking for the group's help.
MK spoke, "So if we get you to the Celestial Realm, and help you gather all of the ingredients, Then, you can fix--all of this?" She asked the fire demon.
"Wait, you're not really considering this, are you?" Pigsy growled.
"Yes, I am." MK said.
"What!? Pigsy and Mei shouted in unison. "He's literally a demon! This punk has tried to kill you, dozens!" Pigsy shouted angrily, soon Mei, Pigsy and Red Son started arguing. But MK was lost in thought. What can she do? Monkey King and Macaque were captured and the city is in catastrophe. She was unsure, clutching the staff to her chest.
'What can I do?' She thought. That's when she decided. "Quiet!" She yelled, making everyone stop arguing and look at her. "We're going to help him" MK declared.
"HUH??" Mei, Sandy, Pigsy, and Red Son said halting from their quarrel.
"What other choice do we have? Look, Spider Queen won't see this coming. It's the best plan we've got. So I say let's help a demon rob the Celestial Realm," MK said.
The fire user sighed, "Very well then...I'll get started on a gateway."
"Gateway?" The gang blinked in confusion
"So, how exactly does this work?" Tang asked looking at the symbols. "if I tried to explain mystical interdimensional travel to a bunch of peasants, it'd melt your brains" Red Son said crossing his arms.
Red Son groaned before he stretched out his arms, taking in a breath and slamming his hands down, then twisting each 90 degrees in the opposite direction, was what made the spell circle set alight and red lighting dance across the dronecopter, the gang ducked behind some rubble they were still standing behind, flinching as various sparks would get close, then a massive spell circle appeared before the ship, casting everyone in it's red glow, alongside waves of warmth engulfing them all.
"Uh, we are sure mortals can travel to the celestial realm, yes?" Tang asked interrupting Red Son.
"Of course they can!"
"Uh, safely?" Pigsy asked narrowing his eyes at the fire demon. The fire demon thought of it for a second before lazily shrugged. "Sure...probably."
"PROBABLY!!" They all shouted, soon the portal already activated, and the dronecopter is sucked in, causing everyone to be thrown back by the force. when they landed, the five were huddled together.
"What? I did say it'd melt your brains." This earned the fire demon a glare from both Mei and Pigsy. Sandy gasped, causing everyone to turn, approaching the ledge. "The celestial realm!" Tang gasped in awe.
MK awed at the sight of it too, she dreamed of coming here one day, and now it came true. "It's Beautiful~"
"So, some special pills, a fancy peach and a furnace?" Pigsy asked, turning to Red Son. He opened his mouth to speak, only to shut it. Mei gasped, appearing behind the fire demon with a grin. "Ooh, Red boy doesn't know!"
"Wha- of course I know, this isn't my first time here! But I know there somewhere in this realm." crossing his arms. Tang sighed, clearing his throat. "Well, in the legend, monkey king stole-"
Sandy interrupted him, "Stole? That's not the Monkey King I know."
Tang sighed. "Borrowed. the peaches of immortality from the heavenly orchard. so, if they did the sensible thing and moved them, they'll still be there. The pills of the great master Lao Tzu, Monkey king st- Borrowed some of those, too. they must be in Lao tzu's alchemy lab."
"And what about the furnace? I can't make anything without that." Red Son asked.
"Well it could be in the lab, but my guess is it will be in the Jade Emperor's throne room." Tang said pushing his glasses up.
"Wait, what?" MK and Mei asked in confusion.
"Alright then, I'll be off to grab that peach. tootles." But before the fire demon could jump off the ship, MK quickly caught him by the collar of his jacket.
"Hold up, like we'd just let you wander off on your own." MK said as Red Son struggled in the girl's grasp, once she let him go, Red Son dusts himself off.
"Please, noodle girl, as if I'd let you get in my way--Ow!" Red Son yelps as MK grabbed his arm, twisting it behind his back. "I'm keeping you where I can see you!" MK growled, The fire demon tried to get out of her hold.
"I'll go for the pills. Er... They're just regular looking pills, right? Round, kinda shaped like... pills? You know, like normal pills?" Pigsy guessed.
Tang just sighed at his husband, "I better come, too" giving his husband a deadpanned look.
"And I'll get the furnace." Mei announced.
"You guys get the items and get back here as fast as you can, I'll stay here and knock some sense into the engines." Sandy advised, And with that, the groups split up.
Unknown to the group, the two spider demons, Huntsman and Goliath had followed them.
In the Heavenly Orchard, A group of peach maidens were giggling has they hold baskets full of peaches has they exited, floating on clouds. MK and Red Son hid behind the trees has they sneak into the orchard.
"You know, I never did thank you for your help, for beating your dad." She said, recalling when his father, DBK became possessed.
"That was one time!" Red Son shouted his face red, MK snickers, making the fire demon growl, glaring at her. "My father, the great Demon Bull King, was...not himself." he paused, his eyes looking sad.
MK stares at the fiery prince in concern, she placed a comfort hand on his shoulder, "Hey, it's okay. We'll get you're dad back, and save the city." She reassured him.
Red Son eyed her head and then back at her, "Why are you helping me? After all I have tried to kill you, countless times." He asked
MK was surprised by his question, I mean he's not wrong. He has tried to kill her numerous times. But still...
"Because...No one should loose their father, twice. I know we're supposed to be "enemies" and all, but right now I just wanna defeat that Spider Queen just as much as you do. So, let's go save the world!" MK stated, continuing on.
Red Son stared at her with complete awe, placed his hand over his chest feeling his heart race and face burning. "What a woman~" Red Son muttered, he then continued down the path to where MK was heading.
Unknowing that one of the spider demons from earlier was watching them from above.
Mei stares in awe at the palace, walking up the steps. "Wow, this must be the throne room." Unknown to the dragon girl when she passed the lion dog statues, its eyes glowing gold once her back was turned, growling as he entered the emperor's throne room.
The inside of the throne room was big and white with gold lining all around as well as artifacts and mist, covering the ground.
"I knew this place was gonna be big, but...wow." as she walked down the throne room, MK gasped, having noticed the furnace. "There it is! Well, that was easy." She jumped, hearing growling behind her as she turned to see two giant lion dogs.
"Um, n-nice giant monster dogs.." she gulped. One of their paws missed her as they made a small mark next to her. MK screams, bolting towards the furnace and jumping inside. She looked up to see the lid close.
"Wait! no, no, no!" Once the lid shuts, All Mei could see was darkness. She could hear the lion dogs growling outside the furnace.
"F*k!!"
Meanwhile in Lao Tzu's lab, Tang gasps as he looks around the lab in amazement, his eyes sparkling. "Every item in this room is brimming with untold, dangerous power!" And due to his excitement, he accidentally touched one and the item went crashing to the floor and shattered.
"Tang! Stop screwing around!" Pigsy angrily scolded him.
"Sorry, sorry, let's see...if I know anything about the legends, they won't be easy to find."
"Is this them?" asked Pigsy. Tang turns to see Pigsy holding the pills, gasping as he ran up to the demon pig, eyes sparkling as he stammers.
"T-T-T-T-T-T-That's them!!" He quickly clears his throat, composing himself. "Yes, those are the ones."
"Great, let's get going."
A sudden laugh forces the two to turn, revealing to be Huntsman. "What's the rush, piglet?" he throws a bola web at the two, who quickly duck, running away with the pills.
"Stop moving around, you're gonna make me fall!" MK was on Red's shoulders, who was standing on his tippy toes helping her reach for the peach.
"Hurry it up then!" Red Son shouted quietly, finally MK grabbed the peach. "Got it! Well, that was easy." MK said has Red Son turned around but only to gasp when they bumped into the bigger spider, Goliath, who loomed over on them with a smirk.
"Well, well, you and your little girlfriend are coming with me." Goliath ordered smilling down at the two.
"His..."
"Girlfriend?!"
MK and Red Son said in embarrassment, The fire demon's heart skipped a beat at the comment, but quickly shook it off. "Flaming fist of dignity!!" Red Son yelled blowing flames into the spider demons face.
"Ah! You got me in my favorite eye!" Goliath shouted. Red Son gasps, dodging his incoming punches, running away with MK in his arms bridal style.
"Hey! Get back here with that stone fruit!" the large spider demon yelled as he began to chase them.
"What are you doing!? Let...me...down!" MK grunts trying to hold onto him.
"There's no time!!" The fire demon exclaimed while still running.
It took a lot of pressure (and possibly a broken elbow) but Mei managed to break free from the furnace lid, popping off the lid. Metal items and parts flew into the smoke. A gold and red lion dog mech appears, Mei on its back, leaping over the lion dogs.
"I'm sorry! We'll bring it back when we're done saving the world! Okay bye!" and with that, she crashed through the wall. as she was running, the lion dogs gave chase.
Back in the lab, Huntsman turns a corner as he sniffs the air. chuckling. Pigsy and Tang were hidden behind a shelf as the demon passed them. "Here little piggy~." He taunted.
Pigsy grunts, pulling out a rope of sausage from his work shirt, as Tang fearfully peers over the shelf. "Oh, we gotta do something." Tang nods in agreement, turning his attention to the items in front of him. He smiles, grabbing a vial, only to drop one as it crashes.
"Ah, there you are." Both Pigsy and Tang look up to see Huntsman above them, landing on the ground. "Oh, go! You're going down!" Pigsy grunts, swinging the sausages.
Huntsman grins, rushing towards them. Pigsy was ready to fight back, but Tang got in front of the pig demon. He shouts throwing the vial at the demon, only to miss. "Oh boy.." Tang gulps.
Suddenly, vines sprout from the liquid, grabbing Huntsman. He struggles as he is dragged into the ground.
"I-I thought it was gonna turn him into a little ducky!" Pigsy sighed, grabbing Tang by his scarf.
"Come on. let's get outta here."
Meanwhile on the ship, Sandy had finished the repairs, wiping the sweat from his brow with a sigh. "I think that should do it." He looked down at the shadow clones. "Thanks you two!"
"Yes sir!" They chirped happily, tails wagging as they glad they both helped.
"Sandy!" He turns to see Tang and Pigsy running towards the ship. " Pigsy, Tangy. you got the pills!"
"Uh-huh. we also have Spiders! They followed us here!" Tang shrieked, Huntsman who was running towards the ship, Sandy sweatdrops knowing that it had something to do with the weird spider bot he and Mo found.
"Where are the others?" asked Pigsy.
"Sandy!" They turned to see MK and Red Son being chased by Goliath. "Start the engine! It's time to go!"
"Wait, what about Mei!?" Pigsy exclaimed.
Once again they turned to see the dragon girl on a mech, being chased by lion dogs. "Start the damn engine!"
Sandy nodded, starting up the engine. Huntsman tried to jump, but failed as he larger companion grabbed him. "What are you doing? I could've made it."
"Aw, sure you could, buddy." behind them was Mei and her lion mech, jumping over the two and onto the ship, as it blasts off. Huntsman grunts, jumping out of Goliath's arms.
"The queen ain't gonna be happy about this." Huntsman poked on his shoulder and the two turn, looking up at the growling lion dogs before them.
"Uh...nice monster doggy."
"You all are okay, thank Goodness!" Sandy exclaimed, glad everyone was not injured. Red Son sighed, slightly out of breath. "Thankfully, we're all still here." He felt a poke on his shoulder to see MK--who appeared to be all red face. "Um, Red Son...you can let me down now."
"Huh?" The fire prince blushed, realizing that he was still carrying MK in his arms. "Oh, right...Sorry!" He sets her down gently, looks away so she couldn't see his blushing face.
"So, uh...what now?" asked Tang, peering over the needed items. "We find a place to lie low, make the antidote and save everyone." MK said.
"So, where are we headed?" Mei asked.
MK stands over the ledge of the ship. "Set a course for Flower Fruit Mountain."
