Everyone was inside Pigsy's Noodles, the workers busy cleaning the space up for the day. MK was mopping the floors in the main area, while Chen was inside the kitchen spraying and wiping down the working station. Mei and Érzi were waiting for the two boys to get off work, the young boy watching his new favourite animated show on Chen's phone. Tang was eating a bowl of noodles as usual while Pigsy was cleaning the counter.
Mei starts taking pictures of MK and Chen working, the flash on. The bright sudden light was annoying to Chen's eyes, but seeing as she was harmlessly taking pictures he tries to ignore it. As she turns back to MK, MK tries to tell her to stop for a moment. "Mei would you- hey cut it out- At least get my good side!" MK exclaims as he starts posing for the pictures. Chen snickers as one bright flash ends up causing MK to trip over and drop the mop. "Noooo!"

"Oh the great Monkie Kid hath dropped thy mop! Whatever shall thee do?" Chen jokes, turning back to his work. The stupid joke causes Mei and Érzi to giggle, Mei going back to posting her new pictures on social media.
MK rubs his eyes, looking around in surprise before loudly exclaiming "Monkey King?!" Chen looks up to see MK talking to... seemingly himself.

But his concerns change to surprise as a familiar gold hazy figure appears in front of him. "Hey, there you kids are!" Monkey King greets cheerily, waving to Chen and MK. "Oh good you guys aren't dead yet! That's a relief!" He chuckles, wiping his brow in a relieved motion. MK starts to freak out, checking himself over to make sure he really wasn't dead. "Dead?! What?! What's happening to me?! Is this what dying is like?!" He falls to his knees dramatically. Chen shakes his head, patting MK's shoulder. He guessed this was the first time Monkey King had used telepathy on MK. "Relax, monkey brain, it's just more of Monkey King's mystic monkey business." he explains. He remembered freaking out a little when it first happened to him.

Monkey King nods in agreement, a wide grin on his face. "Exactly! Don't worry, a little telepathic communication never hurt anybody! I think..." Monkey King mumbles the last part to himself, but MK and Chen both heard it. The two young men turn to him suddenly. "We heard that!" MK exclaims.

"ANYWAY! Everything's fine! Well, mostly fine- so, listen- we got a bit of a problem." Monkey King starts. Chen and MK were about to ask what it was when a woman screaming could be heard outside. "What is that?!"

Every one exits the shop to see what the woman was talking about, and it didn't take long for them to figure out what's wrong. Looking up at the unusually hot sky, the group could see something massive and on fire coming down onto the city, much like a meteor. But the unmistakable smell of cooked food filled the air, throwing away the assumption of it being a giant rock. That and it wasn't rock-shaped. Mei taps her chin in thought. "Is that a-"
"Giant dumpling?" Pigsy interrupts, looking up at the flaming dumpling in disbelief. Tang was already drooling at the sight of it.
"As delicious as it isTERRIFYING..."
"Where did it even come from?!" Érzi asks, having never seen anything like it before.

"So yeah, me and the boys got into abitof a food fight up here in the celestial realm. Anyway long story short I needyouguys to handle the tiny itty bitty giant dumpling before it falls to earth and destroys everyone!" Monkey King explains. Chen and MK look away from the giant dumpling to stare at the Monkey King in disbelief. "What?! You're just gonna leave us to deal with it?!"
"How are we supposed to stop that?!" MK asks. Chen turns to his brother. "MK that's not the only question we should be asking-"

"Ah, you'll figure it out!" Monkey King interrupts Chen, waving him off. "I probably got something that could help you back at my place. Anyway I gotta go! Believe in yourself and you can do anything! Okay bye!"
"HEY WAIT JUST A MINUTE-" Before Chen could say anything Monkey King was gone, causing Chen to groan in frustration. "Seriously?!"

"S-so what's going to happen?" Érzi speaks up, tearing his eyes away from the giant dumpling to look up at Chen and MK worriedly. MK looks up at the giant flaming dumpling with determination. "Alright!"
MK pulls the group into a huddle. "This will undoubtedly be our most perilous mission of all time!" He declares, pulling out his book and crayons as he starts to scribble out their plan. "A journey to the room where Monkey King keeps all his junk to find, uh, something! To stop the celestial dumpling from destroying the world!" As he draws out his plan everyone aside from Mei and Chen were laying on their stomachs, dragon girl already getting bored of MK's explanation and Chen, having no room to sit, stood over Pigsy to look down at the book.
As MK finishes explaining he slams his book shut, he places a hand on Mei's shoulder. "And there's only ONE person with the smarts, the bravery, and the heroically awesome hair to be my wingman on this mission of certain death!" Mei starts to get excited, until Tang pipes up behind her. "I mean it's ME right?!"

MK shoves Mei aside, instead, leaning on Tang's shoulder. "I mean obviously!" The two laugh, and Chen and Pigsy share a look. "You're kidding, right?"
"Yeah, are you sure you want to bring Tang along on this mission?" Chen asks, knowing how lazy Tang can get. MK chuckles. "Oh I kid you not, my sweet sweet Chen and Pigsy! Mr. Tang and I are the experts on Monkey King! So yeah, this makes sense." Chen hums, realising the logic in his brothers explanation. "Huh, I guess you're right..."

Mei gasps, offended. "MK! This is so obviously a mission for just you, me and Chen! I even got a sweet new jet!" She proclaims, pointing to the said jet beside her. Érzi blinks, looking to the place Chen, Tang and MK had been standing moments before only to find them gone. And so was the jet. Pigsy, Mei and Érzi look up in time to see MK, Tang and Chen already zooming off toward Flower Fruit Mountain on Mei's jet. "Sorry Mei! Can't hear you over my awesome new hoverbike! KABOOM!"
"Catch you guys later!"

Mei yells in frustration as they disappear into the distance. She yelled a bunch of nonsense that Érzi didn't understand, something about the best action movie?
Once she was finished her tirade, she huffs in frustration and crosses her arms. "Fine! I'll just have my OWN adventure! How about THAT huh?!" she grumbles, marching off to her bike while still muttering curses under her breath. Érzi turns to Pigsy, a little concerned. "Uh- are we gonna die?' he asks. Pigsy sighs, ruffling the boys hair. "Nah, MK and Chen will save our butts. We just have to sit back and wait." He explains, heading back inside the Noodle Shop. Érzi hums, not quite believing him as he follows the pig man inside. "I don't think I can just "sit back" and wait..."
Pigsy shrugs. "Neither can I kid, but what can ya do?"

As Pigsy and Érzi wait inside the shop for MK and Chen to return, occasionally glancing out the window at the giant flaming dumpling in the sky slowly getting closer and closer, Mei bursts back in through the door, startling them. "GUYS! GUYS! That weird monkey king hero copycat is back! And he was last seen heading towards Flower Fruit Mountain! We should TOTALLY go follow him to see what he's up to!" she exclaims, waving her phone around like crazy. Once she stopped shaking her phone, Pigsy and Érzi could see the picture of the monkey hero MK had come across a week or two prior. Pigsy shrugs. "Nah, I'm good waiting here. But you just want to follow him cuz he's going to Monkey King's Mountain, don'tcha?" he asks skeptically. Mei rolls her eyes. "Pfft- maybe."

"I wanna come!" Érzi says, getting to his feet. Mei grins, pulling the young boy into a side hug. "Yeah boi! Let's go check out this so called new monkey king!" she says, before dragging Érzi behind her as she rushes to her motorbike. Making sure he was wearing a helmet she hops onto her bike and drags him to sit behind her. "Hold on!"
Érzi yelps as Mei speeds off, tracking down the new hero using the small device on her bike. The young boy clings onto her for dear life, terrified at the notion of falling off at this speed.

"You'll wanna hang a left and land up at the top of the mountain!" MK yells to be heard above the wind from behind Tang as they approached Flower Fruit Mountain. Tang drove the hoverbike while MK sat behind him, and Chen squeezed in behind MK.
Tang scoffs at MK's words, pushing up his glasses. "I'm pretty sure I know how to fly a futuristic hoverbike!" he says, starting to fly down, and down, and down...

"Uh, Mr. Tang? MR. TANG? I SAID THE TOP!" MK screams as they start speeding towards the ground. Chen tries to reach around the front to pull the hoverbike up, but it was too late. The trio crash into the ground, sending sand flying and monkeys scattering. Chen and MK spit sand out as they get up from the crash. Chen gags, coughing and hacking up sand as Tang gets to his feet, brushing sand off his clothes. "Like I said, i know how to fly. Anyway! I presume it's this way?" With that he walks off, leaving Chen to suffocate from all the sand he inhaled while MK pat his back to try and help him. If he wasn't currently dying, Chen would've been in a screaming fit by now.

After getting as much of the sand out of his body as he could, Chen and MK follow Tang to Flower Fruit Mountain. MK scratches his neck awkwardly. "Ya know, I'm starting to think maybe I should've brought Mei..." MK says aloud. Chen scoffs, crossing his arms as he shouts Tang a glare. "Oh really?" he points out sarcastically, still cranky that they had to walk to the mountain instead of flying.

At MK's words Tang chuckles. Oh pfft! Don't be silly! Who else would know the difference between the legendary-"
"Yeah yeah we get it! You know more! BUT you also caused us to CRASH on the BEACH!" Chen butts in angrily. Tang merely pats Chen's head, careful not to bump his horns. "That you're half correct, my boy! Come now! Onward to the peak of Mount Huaguo! That's where Monkey King's cave is, by the way." he adds, snickering to himself. Chen glares at Tang, slowly turning to face MK who had a look of regret on his face.

Before long Mei stops, having pulled out her phone to make sure all the sightings were leading to this location. Érzi shakily gets off the bike, a little stiff and shaken, as if he'd never been on a bike OR went that fast in his life, which he probably hadn't till then. But Mei seems oblivious to him as she looks around. "Now where is-AHA! There he is!" she exclaims, pointing to a figure standing by the waters edge.
The figure was looking off into the distance as he seems to be talking to someone on an earpiece. He spun his black and gold staff in one hand, his tail flicking back and forth agitatedly.

"Let's go!" Mei says, grabbing Érzi's wrist and rushing over to the monkey. "Hey! You! Monkey hero guy!"
The monkey turns, stopping his conversation into the earpiece as the two approach. He puts on a smile as he sees Mei, turning to face her fully. "Hello! Nice to meet you citizen- sorry, no autographs right now! I have to go save the city!" Lixin explains, swiping his staff to create a cloud. But Mei waves that off. "Wait! Just a quick picture! I want to show MK that I met you!"

At the mention of MK though, Lixin's smile turns more... forced. "Oh, you're the Monkie Kid's friend? That's great..." he says, before his eyes lower down to Érzi standing behind Mei. He freezes, staring at Érzi coldly, which makes the young boy shuffle nervously.

Lixin clears his throat, turning back to Mei with a smile. "I'm sorry ma'am, no pictures. I have to go right now. But I'll be back, rest assured. Just give me a few hours and I'll be back for that social media clout!" he explains, hopping onto his cloud before zooming off into the distance. Mei gasps, offended he left so suddenly. "Rude!" she huffs. "Guess it's time to head to Flower Fruit Mountain and follow him! C'mon Érzi!" Mei turns back to her bike, pressing a button on the panel. Érzi watches in amazement as it changes to a hoverbike in just a few seconds. "WOAH! That's so cool!" He gasps, which causes Mei to cackle. "I know right?! Let's go follow that monkey and see what he's up to!"

"HECK YEAH!"

Chen walks in front of MK and Tang as they trek up the mountain, the former carrying their father on his back. Tang seemed unbothered by MK's struggling. "CHEN! Can I have a little help over here?" MK asks, taking another strained step.
Chen glances over his shoulder at his brother and Tang, looking them up and down before continuing his hike. "Nah, I think you got it." MK groans in despair, following after the bull demon much, much more slowly.

Finally, the duo make it to the waterfall that lead to Monkey King's home. MK pants heavily, finally being able to recover from the long hike. Tang sighs, pushing up his glasses. "Why thank you, my young friend! I thought we were done for back there when my weak ankles began to give me trouble!" Tang exclaims dramatically, showing off his perfectly fine legs. Chen rolls his eyes at this display.
"YEAH! AT THE BOTTOM OF THE STEPS!" MK snaps back, frustrated by Tang's laziness. Tang huffs, patting MK's head as he climbs off of the younger man. "Well, childhood injuries do pick rather inconvenient times to flare up again, do they not?"

MK growls at Tang as the older man walks towards the waterfall, jumping over stones to avoid treading in the water. Chen leans closer to MK. "You still glad we picked him to come with us?" He didn't even wait for an answer before walking away, leaving MK to glare daggers into the back of his head.

Tang is the first to reach the waterfall, looking upin awe and excitement. "The Shuilian Cave!" he gasps, looking back at the boys excitedly. "That's the name of the Monkey King's cave-" he starts to say before MK cuts him off. "YEAH! WE KNOW!"
"We come here all the time, Tang."

Tang merely shrugs before reaching out toward the waterfall. A glowing symbol forms, zapping Tang back into MK and Chen. The two boys let out before being struck down, pushed back into the water. MK sits up, coughing up water as Tang rises beside him. "Ah yes, I thought that might happen." he murmurs, scratching his chin. But MK knew that was the complete opposite. "Ugh! Only the Monkey King can get through the magical barrier! But also me. Because I'm the Monkie Kid!"
MK marches up to the waterfall. Tang was about to follow suite before stopping and turning to Chen, who was laying face first in the water, bubbles floating up to the surface around his head. "You coming Chen? We don't have all day, you know." He says, grabbing Chen's tail and tugging it. The bull demon groans, pushing himself up out of the water. "Tang Iswearto the great sage-"

Before he could continue MK had opened the barrier. Tang walks around MK with a smug smirk as he steps inside, and Chen grumbles under his breath as he forces himself to his feet, following MK and Tang into the waterfall. None of them see the figure creeping behind them.

Tang looks around in awe at the Monkey King's cave, ignoring the fact that Chen was still rubbing his sore head. MK pumps his fists, turning to Tang. "So! What do you think we should be looking for? Like a magic crossbow? Or a canon?! Or a-"
"A vase."

MK and Chen pause, blinking at each other for a moment. "Excuse me?"
"Come again?"

Tang groans dramatically at the boys lack of understanding. Pointing up to the sky, he begins to explain. "That giant dumpling looks to be more of a *Guângdōng zhōu, meaning it is potentially filled with some kind of delicious soup. Simply blasting it won't do."
Chen hums, glancing up at the giant dumpling. "Right, so how exactly is a vase supposed to help?"
Tang sighs, patting Chen's head like one does to a small child asking silly questions. "Well, Chen, the legends say Monkey King sought help from Guanyin, to defeat a demon I... don't remember the name of. She used a vase that contained pure water, enough to flood a whole mountain range! It seems logical that we should use that to suck up the soup, and save the world from third degree burns."

Seeing his logical, MK and Chen nod in agreement. "Sounds good enough to me! We can probably find that with all of Monkey King's other junk! Behind this giant door!" MK says, turning toward a giant door. "-That I've never even noticed before!"
Chen crosses his arms as he looks up at the giant doors. "Well then, let's go find it then." he states, but keeps his distance and watches as Tang walks up to the doors and reaches out once more to open them. He doesn't say anything as the older man is zapped back by ANOTHER magical barrier, merely stepping aside out of the way this time. "Ha, called it. There's no way Monkey King wouldn't have some kind of barrier for a room full of powerful artifact! And here I thought you were the smarty pants, Tang,"
MK sighs in annoyance and opens the doors.

But Chen's smugness turns to dismay as the doors open to reveal piles and piles and piles of junk, in apparently no order whatsoever. It was all just...chaos and disorder. MK groans in frustration at the sight of the massive pile of junk. The only one who seemed to be happy was Tang, who excitedly started running around the room, listing off artifacts he recognised. "The legendary Demon Revealing Mirror! And the Fire-Tipped Spear! Oh oh! And! AAH! MONKEYCOPSLIMITEDADDITION1982ACTIONFIGURES!" He turns to Chen and MK, a wide grin on his face at this find. "... this could take a while."
"Yeah well we don't have a while! So get digging!" MK states, swan diving into the pile in search for the legendary vase. Chen sighs, starting to sift and search through both the legendary artifacts and random clutter Monkey King owned.

Lixin makes it to Flowerfruit Mountain, having gotten a little lost out at sea. There was no signal on his earpiece way out here, so he couldn't exactly ask his boss for directions. He lands on the beach, watching as some random wild monkeys scramble out of his way as he jumps off his cloud. "Alright! Now to find that cave." He states, looking up at the mountain. He hums, trying to remember the coordinates hs boss had given him. "I just need to find that waterfall and then-"

"HEYO MONKEY BOOOOY!"

Lixin jumps in surprise, seeing the same dragon girl and... "boy" he'd seen earlier, flying in on a hoverbike. Mei hops off of the hoverbike, rushing over to him. "Hey! You can't just run off like that! I have questions! AND I wanna take a few pictures with you!" she states, pulling out her phone and proceeding to take a few pictures with flash on, which resulted in blinding the monkey. She was about to post them online but groans in annoyance. "Oh come on! No signal? Really? Monkey King you need to fix that when you get back!"

Lixin rubs his eyes, rubbing the golden marking on the left side of his feet. "Look,civilian, I don't have time to chat. I have to save the world from a giant flaming dumpling." he says matter-of-factly, pointing to the sky. Érzi waves him off as Mei pulls Lixin and him in for another photo, this time without flash on. "Oh you don't need to worry about that! MK's already here looking for a way to stop it!" he says excitedly.

But at this news, Lixin's fur bristles in annoyance, turning to the young boy. "What? What do you mean the Monkie Kid's already here?" He asks, trying to sound polite through his gritted teeth. Mei types something into her phone, not eve looking up at the annoyed monkey. "Pfft- he's here to look for something to get rid of that giant dumpling in the sky, doy!"

Lixin scowls, his tail flicking in irritation. Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, he turns back to Mei and Érzi. I suggest you two citizens head back to Megapolis now. I'll return for a discussion later, after I've saved the city." he states.
Mei and Érzi share a look, before the dragon girl starts laughing. "Yeah, right. We came all this way to find out what your deal is, and we're not leaving until we get it!"

Lixin sighs, getting annoyed with the two before him. "For Sage's sake- fine, you leave me no choice." he mutters, pulling out a few strands of his hair. Mei raises a brow, confused by his words. "Wait, what-"

Before she could say anything a bunch of Lixin's clones pop out of no where and start to grab at Mei and Érzi, surprising the two of them. "WHAT- HEY WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA?!"
Lixin shrugs, getting on his cloud. "I'm sorry, but I can't waste anymore time!" he shouts as he zooms off to where he assumed Monkey King's cave was.

Mei growls in annoyance, punching one of the clone. "YOU STUCK UP MONKEY! WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU IMA- HEY STOP THAT!" Mei shouts as a clone grabs her wrist.
She draws her sword, slicing at a clone and causing it to poof. She looks over to Érzi, noticing him kicking another clone in the chin and causing it to explode into hair. She realised that the clones weren't really trying to keep them trapped- they were just slowing them down to keep them out of Lixin's way. She slices another clone. "Well fine then! If he's gonna be a snooty hero who thinks he's better than everyone then I don't wanna talk to him! You need a little help Érzi?"

As she frees herself from the clones, there's a flash from beside her. She looks up in surprise, seeing that all the clones around them had poofed back into hair, Érzi standing among the strands that still floated to the ground. "Woah- what happened?"
Érzi looks around, scratching his head. "I uh, don't know- they all just poofed all of a sudden." he says innocently. Mei sighs. "Probably some sort of monkey thing- Mk can do it too. c'mon, let's go back to Megapolis. We don't need to talk to that dumb Monkey King copy anyway.

"Oh thank goodness- after MK saves the world can we play at arcade? You know- if he saves it?" Érzi asks sheepishly. Mei grins, pulling Érzi into a headlock and ruffling up his hair. "Sure thing! And don't worry about it- I'm sure the guys have it completely under control- but it totally would've been cooler if I was the one to go with them." She scoffs. She lets out a yelp as her hand hits something sharp and spiky in Érzi's hair.
Érzi rubs his head. "Oh sorry- must be a stick in my hair." he chuckles, pulling out a stick out of his hair that didn't seem to be there a few minutes ago. Mei cackles, taking a picture. "What do you do kid? Climb trees?"
"Yep!"
"Man lucky- play in the dirt all you can now then!"
"Will do!"

The two get back on the hoverbike, Mei making sure that Érzi was wearing his helmet before speeding off into the sky.

As Chen had his back to MK, lifting up a particularly heavy box of what appeared to be swords, he heard MK yell in fear and surprise. He whips around to see Huntsman, one of Spider Queen's henchmen, attacking the Monkie Kid.
Chen turns to Tang, who had stopped to watch the fight. "Keep looking for that vase! I'm gonna help MK!" he yells before darting off before Tang could speak. The bull demon notices Huntsman shoot a web toward a circular mirror on the ground, snatching it and yanking it towards himself. "Oh no you don't!"
He leaps towards the mirror, MK getting the same idea as he spots the boy with the fire-tipped spear. MK reaches it first, jabbing the webbing and stopping the spider demon from grabbing it. But what MK hadn't seen was that Huntsman was charging right at him. He was about to punch MK in the gut and send him flying before Chen intervenes, catching the spiders fist and pushing him back. Huntsman growls, glaring down at Chen. "Outta my way, punk!

Chen refuses to listen, instead holding him there as MK leaps up behind him, ready to hit Huntsman from above with the fire-tipped spear. But upon noticing his plan the spider demon reacts quickly, tightening his hold on Chen and spinning around. Chen was caught off guard as he's swept off the ground, letting out a yell as Huntsman throws him full force towards MK in the air. The two boys collide, being sent into a tower of Monkey King's junk. The clutter shakes and creaks, starting to fall.
Huntsman snickers, picking up the mirror. However the tower of junk collapses on top of him, causing him to lose the mirror once more.

MK and Chen crawl to the top of the wreckage, their body aching from being crushed. As they get to their feet, looking frantically for the spider demon, Tang calls out to them. "MK! Chen! I can't find the vase anywhere!"
MK had had enough at this point. "DO I HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING?!" he shouts, activating his gold vision. As he does so, Chen looks around warily for any sign of Huntsman. MK points to a box in the corner. "There! That crate is full of them!"
"Why didn't you do that sooner?!"
"Because I forgot I could! Okay?!"
"MK WATCH IT!"

Chen yanks MK out of harms way as Huntsman bursts out of the pile of garbage, headed straight for MK. His sharp robotic limbs miss the boy by a hair. But Huntsman wasn't finished. Using his webs he grabs pair of sharp blades, using his webs as whips to attack the two boys. MK manages to shield the both of them with his staff, but barely.
One of the blades was heading straight for Tang.

Suddenly the doors fling open as another figure darts inside, heading straight for Tang. They snatch Tang by their scarf, the blade missing by an inch. Chen heart stops, looking over for just a second. He sees a monkey figure putting Tang down, brushing the dust off his clothes. Chen didn't have time to question it before Huntsman had thrown something else in his direction.
The bull demon dodges before being struck in the gut by a heavy object, causing him to cry out in pain as he's flung back into a wall.

"OH MY SAGE- SORRY CHEN! I SWEAR I WASN'T AIMING FOR YOU-"

Groaning in pain he looks down to see... MK's staff trapping him against the wall. MK must've thrown it in the fight. He pushes and kicks at the staff. "Come on! Come ON! Stupid stick! MK what the heck?! AIM BEFORE THROWING!"
"HEY THE SPIDER GUYS FAST OKAY?!"
"I can smell your fear, boy!"
"IT'S MY CONDITIONER!"

Chen looks over to Tang for help, only to see... the new monkey guy was scrambling around amongst a bunch of vases, looking for something. Tang was carefully inspecting the vases one by one, trying to find Guanyin's vase.
As Chen watches them in confusion, he suddenly snaps his attention back to MK as he lets out a yelp. He looks over to see the boy is pinned to the wall by Huntsman, a sword clutched in the spider demons spare hand as he gets ready to slit MK's throat.
"TANG! Hurry!" MK yells in a panic. Tang scrambles around for a weapon as Chen is left stuck between MK's staff and the wall. "EY! SPIDER FREAK! LEAVE HIM ALONE!"

As he looks around, Chen sees the monkey guy still had his back turned to MK. "Hey! Hey you! Help him!" he shouts, gaining the monkey's attention. Lixin turns around, glaring in Chen's direction before looking over to see MK about to be stabbed by the spider demon. As the two talk he lets out a groan, getting to his feet. "Just my luckI'mthe one that has to save the Monkie Kid." he mutters, but he purposely wasn't being quiet. Chen scoffs. "Hey! That's my brother you're talking about golden boy!"
Lixin doesn't listen, instead drawing out his staff and throwing it towards Huntsman. It hits his wrist, causing him to drop the sword with a hiss of pain. He whips around to face the threat, only to have to let go off MK completely as a powerful beam almost hits him.

Chen stops his struggles momentarily, looking up to see Tang holding some sort of gun. It transforms back into a sword within moments, becoming too heavy for Tang to hold on to as it falls back to the floor. There's silence for a moment until Tang clears his throat, speaking up. "Uh- yeah! And there's more where that came from! Now get outta here and let us save the world!"
Huntsman huffs, standing up as he faces Tang and MK. "You know, you've got a point. How about a truce, just this one time?"
Chen's eyes widen in surprise. That was... unexpected. Wait, weren't he and MK talking a minute ago?
As Tang and MK ask him what kind of villain he is, Chen spots the monkey guy charging up to Huntsman from behind. "Hey- what are you doing dude?!"
Huntsman turns just in time to dodge Lixin's staff aiming for his head, the monkey swinging down hard enough to cause the ground to shake when it hits.
"HEY WHAT PART OF "TRUCE" DON'T YOU GET MONKEY?!" Huntsman spits out, using his webbing to wrap around Lixin. The monkey is ensnared, and Huntsman throws him into a wall within seconds.

The spider demon growls as he turns back to MK and Tang with a glare. Tang coughs awkwardly, pulling at his scarf. "Uh- that guys not with us- did you still want to do that truce?"
Huntsman scoffs in disdain and uses one of his webbings to grab the mirror and the other he sticks to the roof. "Until next time, Monkey Boy."

"Hey! He's a Monkey MAN!" Tang retaliates but Huntsman was already gone. MK looks up at Tang in awe. "This is the greatest team up ever!"
As the boy starts geeking out over the sword, Chen clears his throat "MK, do you mind GETTING YOUR STUPID STAFF OFF OF ME?!"
"Oh right- sorry." MK chuckles, hurrying over and pulling the staff out of the wall, freeing Chen. Chen stands up straight, before hissing in pain. "ACK- yeah, that's gonna hurt for a while." he coughs.
As MK and Chen manage to walk over to Tang, who was looking over the vases. He holds up a blue one with pink flower petals around the base. "This is it! The legendary vase that will-" before he could finish, a hand snatches it out of his grasp, surprising all three. Tang, MK and Chen blink, looking over to the figure running away with the vase.
It was Lixin. And now he was zooming away on his cloud. "KEEP OUT OF MY WAY! AND STOP TRYING TO STEAL MY JOB!" He spat before disappearing back out the doors. MK gasps, pointing at Lixin. "Wha- hey! Get back here with that vase!"
"GET BACK HERE YOU THIEF OR I'LL-"
"My bad- that wasn't the legendary vase." Tang says, picking up another vase. Chen and MK turn back to Tang in surprise and annoyance. "WHAT?!"

Tang holds up a silver vase with green leaves. "Yep! That's it! That's the guy!" Tang states assuredly. Realising that they were running out of time MK grabs Tang and Chen, zooming out of the cave toward the somehow fixed hoverbike, which Chen later realised MK must've fixed with his Monkey Mech powers. "THEN LET'S GO!"

Chen yelps, holding on tight to his brother as they zoom back to Megapolis.

Mei and Érzi had made it back to Megapolis, and were currently standing on the roof of Pigsy's Noodles with the pig man himself, looking up at the giant dumpling that was about to strike the city in worry. Érzi fidgets with his blue scarf. "MK's gonna make it, right? You said MK's gonna save us."
Mei and Pigsy share a concerned look, which didn't go pass the fretful boy. However Pigsy gives him a reassuring pat on the back. "Yeah, they're gonna save the city. Don't you worry about it, kiddo."
Érzi wasn't so convinced, however. Hearing something, he glances at the darkest corner of the roof worriedly.

"GUYS!"

The trio look up to see Tang flying the hoverbike back to Megapolis, MK waving frantically to them from behind him and Chen clinging onto his brother for dear life once more. Érzi lets out a sigh of relief, the whispering he heard disappearing as he looks up to MK. "They made it!"
"We told you, kid. No need to worry when you got us around."

Tang crashes the hoverbike into a building next to the Noodle Shop, scrambling onto the roof they ignore the concerned looks Pigsy, Mei and Érzi gave them. Pigsy is the first to speak. "Did ya find something to stop this thing?" he asks. MK nods, grinning from ear to ear. "Sure! I mean... maybe?" he looks to Chen and Tang, who only shrug. MK shrugs, grabbing Tang's wrist and lifting it in the air. "Okay Tang- the vase!"

"VASE?! Why didn't you grab a magic crossbow?! Or a canon! Or-" Mei begins, only for Tang and Mk to start explaining their reasoning at the same time. They stop and laugh, realising they were talking over each other. Chen crosses his arms. "Yeah something about there being soup inside the dumpling."

"Well what are ya waitin' for ya morons?! Hurry it up!" Pigsy shouts, pointing at the sky at the giant dumpling getting closer.
With a nod Tang and MK get into position, pointing the vase towards the giant dumpling together while everyone else stood back. MK uncorks he vase, and instantly a wave of water streams out, headed straight to the dumpling like a whirlpool. It sucks the flaming dumpling in, the force so powerful Tang accidentally lets go and flies back. MK is left alone holding the powerful vase, but not even he with all his Monkey King strength could do it alone. He yelps as he starts sliding back, only for Chen, Pigsy and Mei to come up behind him to hold him in place, supporting him as he sucks the giant dumpling into the vase.

All is silent for a moment, everyone looking down at the vase as MK puts the cork back on. Mei leans over MK's shoulder, breaking the silence. "So did it wor-"
The vase explodes, cutting her off as half the city is covered dumpling soup.

Once everyone had recovered from the explosion, MK sighs, looking out over the soup-covered city. "Sometimes, all you can do is your best."
"We probably should've grabbed a few more vases, huh?" Tang asks, to which MK and Chen shrug. "Probably."

Lixin makes it back to the city before MK, landing on a roof. He looks up at the giant blazing dumpling, which had gotten way too close for comfort.
As he catches his breath a voice speaks through his ear piece. "L1x1n, did you find the vase?" The male voice asks in annoyance. Lixin holds up the vase, knowing that his boss will be able to see it through the city's cameras. "Yep! Ready to go! Now how do you work this thing- just take off the lid and point it up to the sky?"
There's muttering on the other end of his earpiece before his boss's shrill voice screams through the microphone, causing Lixin to jump and almost drop the vase. "WHAT?! What do you MEAN it's the wrong vase?! L1X1N! You should've sent us a photo for confirmation! What were you doing on that mountain?!"
Lixin pales, looking at the vase in his hands in dismay. "But- the civilian said-"

"Civilian?! What civilian?!" His boss shouts, wanting an explanation. Lixin flinches, realising he really messed up. "The civilian that was also after the vase- he and the Monkie Kid were there looking for it and he said this was it-"

As he explains there's a huge gust of wind, and the monkey looks up to see a whole whirlpool of water twisting into the sky, sucking the giant blazing dumpling in and dousing the flames before disappearing completely for a few seconds, that is until there's a giant explosion that covers half the city, including landing on Lixin and covering him in dumpling soup. He tries to wipe away the disgusting soupy dumpling, extremely grossed out.

Lixin could hear his boss groaning in frustration, knowing that his boss was going to throw one of his fits. "L1x1n, get back to the base now." he says, his voice dangerously low. Lixin's shoulders droop, realising he failed another mission thanks to the Monkie Kid.

"Yes sir..."

The earpiece goes silent. Lixin looks back to the sky, growing increasingly frustrated at the Monkie Kid's heroism. This was supposed to be HIS job, not some dumb kid's with no experience! And his friends certainly weren't helping when they got in his way!

He's the hero, not that Monkie Kid.
