Sakura P.O.V

Macaque's giant shadow covered us as we were sinking into the ocean

"We're alive! We're alive!" Uncle Tang said but the ocean water started to leak in

"How about you hold on to that thought" Macaque said and water hit Mei in the face and a fish hit her face too

"We finally got away from that creepy mayor and now we all get to drown!" Uncle Pigsy said

"Macaque, how long can you hold on?" I asked

"Not very long, the pressure of the ocean is getting heavier for me to handle" Macaque said as he tried his best to hang on

Uncle Sandy was looking at the controllers of the ship and saw the virtual image of the drone saying its in critical condition

"This drone... It's not water adventure friendly!" Uncle Sandy said

"Monkey King! You've got to do something!" MK said

"Huh? Why? Water never hurt no one" Then Monkey King remembered something "Oh! Right, mortality" MK gave Monkey King an upset look

"Kid, just know that Wukong is an idiot in these types of situations" Macaque said with a deadpan expression on his face

Then, the shadow started to shake, and I held onto Monkey King since I felt scared. I didn't notice how Monkey King is giving Macaque a smug look and Macaque is getting agitated

"Guys... What's that shaking?" I said with a scared tone

"Something big" MK said sounding scared too

"Everyone, relax. Pretty sure this is just an old friend of mine" Monkey King said

"You have friends? Wow, so your not friendless after all" Macaque said

Monkey King was about to argue, but something grabbed hold of us, and felt like we were being thrown. Once Macaque thinks everything is safe, his giant shadow disappears, and we looked around our surroundings with an awe look

"The Dragon palace of the East Sea! We're in the Dragon palace of the East Sea!" Mei said excitedly

"Yeah, this is my kinda sort of old buddy's house. Where I got my staff" Monkey King said

"You mean stole" Both Macaque and Kyubi said in union, making Monkey King laugh nervously, and heard the doors opening

"Oh! Here they come! Smiles everyone! Smiles" Monkey King said and once the doors were completely opened, revealed the Dragon of the East himself and he doesn't look happy "Hey, Ao Guang! Long time no-"

"Wukong! You dare return to my domain after humiliating me?! Tricking me?!" Ao Guang said as he summoned a dragon from his body, and it was massive

'Mei can do that?' I thought to myself and looked at Mei

"What? The staff? But that's a total misunderstanding" Monkey King tried to explain

"And now I learn that it has been lost. You have given the evil Lady Bone Demon exactly what she needs to destroy us all! I should execute where you stand" Ao Guang said

"Monkey King, I thought you said he was your friend" I said in a whisper tone

"He knows about the Lady Bone Demon?" MK asked in a whispering tone

"What are we gonna do?!" Uncle Tang whispered shouted

"Relax, I got this" Monkey King said to us

"Highly doubt that" Macaque said with Kyubi and Uncle Pigsy agreeing

"Ahem. Maybe you forgot, I am the Great Sage Sun Wuko-!" Monkey King was thrown back by Ao Guang's dragon

"Do not try to fool me a second time trickster! I can sense your weakness; your power is all but consumed!" Ao Guang ordered his soldiers to surround us, Mei and I decided to pull out our weapons and he looked surprised at us, especially me. His dragon disappeared and the soldiers withdrew their weapons

"You two! Where did you get those swords?" Ao Guang asked Mei and I

"Um... It's mine? My family's?" Mei answered nervously, and Ao Guang looked at me

"The sword came to me when DBK attacked the city" I answered

"I know those blades. It belonged to my brother, the Dragon of the West and the other sword belonged to the goddess of cherry blossoms. You mean to tell me that you are a descendant of Ao Ji and Konohana?" Ao Guang asked both Mei and I, we both nodded to confirm

"Mr. Dragon of the East Sea? Sorry to interrupt this little reunion, but you know about the Lady Bone Demon. What's she's capable of" MK pulled out the map

'Didn't Monkey King have the map? How did MK get it?' I thought to myself

"We can stop her! We just need-!" Ao Guang summoned his dragon and went towards MK, MK closed his eyes and expecting impact, but nothing happened. He looked at his hand and notices that the map is gone

"Hey!" MK shouted

"You would tell me how to protect my people?" Ao Guang said as his dragon handed him the map "When you have unleashed this blight back into the world?!" Ao Guang yelled and MK started to tear up, I went towards MK and hugged him, hoping to make him feel better

"Wow, okay. Fresh wound. Just gonna let that one bounce off me" MK said as he returned the hug

"Bring the girls. Imprison the rest" Ao Guang said as he went back inside the palace, and his advisor grabbed mine and Mei's wrist, dragging us away from our friends

"Sakura! Mei!" MK shouted our names

"Don't worry, guys! I'll figure something out!" Mei said and I suddenly heard Monkey King's voice in my head

"Sakura, I need you and Mei to get the map back. Please be safe and be careful" Monkey King said to me telepathically and I nodded

MK P.O.V

When the guards locked us in a jail, Tang started tearing up

"My mother was right! Associating with the wrong people and this is where you end up! Even Sakura is taken away!" Tang cried

"I ain't gonna sit around and wait. I'm gonna break us out of here! Using this!" Pigsy pulled out a spoon from his pocket

"A spoon?" I asked, looking at Pigsy with a confused look as he started to scrape the wall

"There's nothing that a spoon can't handle! This baby will have us out in no time" Pigsy said as he broke the spoon and pulled out a another one from his pocket

'How many spoons is he carrying?' I thought to myself with a sweat drop

I looked at everyone, who either sat on the floor or the wooden bed, then I noticed someone is missing

"Hey, guys? Where's Macaque and Kyubi?" I asked as I looked around

No One P.O.V

When the MK and the gang were being taken away by the guards, hiding in the shadows was Macaque and Kyubi, who was on his shoulder

"Let's go find our lady, fox" Macaque said as zipped through the hallways of the palace in the shadows. He listened carefully for Sakura and hearing which room she's confined in. After a couple of minutes, he zipped through the shadows again and stopped in front of the door where he heard Sakura's voice. He came out from the shadows; he placed his hand on the door handle, he carefully opened the door, and his eyes widen at the sight before him





Sakura was wearing a beautiful clothing that relates to the goddess along with the headband in her hair

"Macaque! Kyubi! You're both alright!" Sakura said as she let out a breath of relief, but Macaque was awe-struck when he saw Sakura "Macaque? Are you alright?"

"He's alright, my lady. He's just stunned by your beauty" Kyubi said, making Macaque turn red

"S-Shut up, you dumb fox!" Macaque said as he stretched Kyubi's tiny fox face. I laughed lightly and I heard the doors opening and closing, revealing Mei in the Dragon Clans clothing

"Sakura! I finally found you! And dang girl! You look amazing! You'll definitely be a great catch for the boys now!" Mei said, making Sakura blush

"Mei! Please don't say stuff like that!" Sakura said and Mei laughed at her reaction

"Alright, let's go find the map and save that idiot Wukong" Macaque said as he brought everyone into the shadows and started heading towards the Treasure room, where the map lies

Treasure Room

When Macaque and the everyone entered the treasure room, he resurfaced everyone including himself

"Alright, let's go look for the map" Macaque said and everyone started to split up to look for the map. Sakura started to look around for the map, while looking around she saw a basket with 3 eggs

'Dragon eggs? What are they doing here in the treasure room?' Sakura thought as she walked towards the eggs and carefully touched them 'They're warm...' Sakura decided to take the eggs, she looked for a bag. After a bit of looking, she found a satchel that's big enough to fit the 3 eggs. She carefully put the eggs in the satchel, and went back to looking for the map, and Mei said she found the map. Mei went to get the map from the pedestal, but she was blown back by Ao Guang's dragon

"It is never wise to come uninvited into the lair of the dragon. Especially with the shadow monkey and the former familiar" Ao Guang said, Macaque stood in front of Sakura and Kyubi changed into his true form and stood in front of Mei

"Um... Hi. We were just..."

"Stealing from me? An order from the Monkey King no doubt" Ao Guang said

"Excuse me? I don't take orders from that idiot" Macaque said "Sakura is my top priority and I promised her uncles that I'll keep her safe" Macaque summoned his shadow staff, just in case

"Well, I mean it is our map. So..."

"You are a member of the Dragon clan! Your allegiance is to your family!" Ao Guang shouted at Mei

My allegiance is to my family!" Mei said as she stepped forward away from Kyubi "But also to my friends! The fate of the world is at stake and this is important! We need the map, so we can find the weapon and stop the Lady Bone Demon"

"There is no stopping her! She is beyond any of us!" Ao Guang said

"But Monkey King said with this-"

"That Monkey King is not to be trusted!"

"I know you don't trust Monkey King, but please trust us!" Sakura said as she pulled out her sword, but instead of attacking, she jumped over Ao Guang and got the map. Ao Guang grabbed Sakura's wrist, and he saw a vision. The three rings of the Samadhi Fire and marron flames engulfing the girl as she screams in pain. When Ao Guang released Sakura's wrist, Sakura looked like she was about to pass out, luckily Macaque caught her. Macaque took the passed-out Sakura, Mei and Kyubi out of the treasure room, and went to find Sandy

Still in a state of shock, Ao Guang looked at where Sakura used to be

'That girl... How can she have that?' Ao Guang asked himself

Sakura P.O.V

"Sakura! Sakura, please wake up" I heard someone calling me, I slowly started to open my eyes

"Huh? What happened?" I asked

"You passed out when Ao Guang grabbed your wrist. What happened though?" Mei asked

"I have no idea what happened Mei. But at least we got the map back" I said as I tried to sit up

"Here, let me help you" Macaque helped me sit up

"Thank you, Macaque. Also, where did the van come from?"

"Oh yeah! Sandy actually built it from the drone!" Mei answered

"Really?! Wow, Uncle Sandy, that's amazing!" I said

"Oh, stop. You're making your own uncle blush" Uncle Sandy said as he was driving the van "Alright! Let's go save our friends!"

MK P.O.V

Pigsy was still trying to dig a way out of the jail, but I got a feeling it's gonna take forever! Pigsy and Tang started to argue about how the wall isn't gonna magically break itself, but something crashed into the wall, knocking all of us down

"Mei! Sandy! Sakura! You jail breaked us! You broke the jail! We're free!" I said as I fell back to the floor

"That's right! We got the map too!" Mei said and we entered the van, Monkey King pushed Macaque out of the way and placed Sakura on his lap, Macaque glared at Monkey King, and Kyubi jumped on Sakura's lap, nuzzling against her stomach

'When am I getting a turn?' I asked myself with a pout look

"Ooo! Slay Mei! That dress looks fierce!" Tang said and he looked at Sakura "Sakura, you absolutely stunning! You like a goddess from the legends!"

"Geez, Uncle Tang" Sakura blushed at Tang's compliment, I didn't notice her outfit until Tang mentioned it

'Wow. She does look stunning' I looked at Sakura with a red look

"Oh yeah! MK, I got you this!" Mei pulled out a jacket and a bag

"Gasp! A new bag and jacket?! This changes my whole look! It's like a whole new me! Dreams really do come true!" I said as I took off my old jacket and I put on the new jacket and bag



"Where's Uncle Pigsy?" Sakura asked, I looked outside and saw Pigsy talking to the spoon

"It's okay, spoonie. We both know who loosen that wall up first" Pigsy said while crying and hugging the spoon

"Uncle Pigsy, come on!" Sakura shouted and he quickly entered the van. Sandy started backing away from the broken cell, and started heading towards the entrance of the palace

"Okay, we're in an underwater city in a van. Is anyone else seeing the problem here?!" Pigsy yelled and Sandy laughed

"Oh, my sweet and sour Pigsy, I've got us covered" Sandy said as he pressed the screen

"Welcome to the Total Environment Automobile or T.E.A for short" The digital Sandy said

"Tea! It's called Tea you guys!" Sandy told us excitedly "I think this is what true love feels like. Oh, and one more thing. It's water adventure friendly!" Sandy was almost close to the front entrance, when we saw Ao Guang in front of the gates, he summoned his dragon and Sandy hit the brakes. Ao Guang opened the back door of the van

"I will not allow to leave with that map or the descendent of the goddess!" Ao Guang shouted

"What are you not getting? Using the Samadhi fire is the only way we're gonna stop the Lady Bone Demon" Monkey King said as held onto Sakura protectively

"The Samadhi fire cannot be contained! It took all of the Konohana's powers to help seal them!" Ao Guang

"Your dragoness, please!" I pleaded

"We don't have any other choice" Mei said

Then, both Ao Guang's and Monkey King's eyes started to glow

"He's coming" Monkey King said

"The not mayor? He's here?" I asked and he nodded

"Yeah, it also looks like he brought one of the Spider Queen's henchmen too"

Tang said we should leave now as he looked at the radar showing how far or close the enemy are. Ao Guang told us that he'll hold the not mayor and the spider demon off as we escape. He was about to leave when Mei grabbed hold of his arm and thanked him. He smiled softly and he looked at everyone

"Please, keep the descendent of the goddess safe from any harm" Ao Guang asked us

"Of course. We already promised that we'll keep her safe no matter what" I said

"And descendent of the goddess, please take care of the eggs" Ao Guang said to Sakura and with that, Ao Guang closed the back door and Sandy started to drive off into the sea. The van changed into a submarine, Sakura and I looked out through the window and saw the city exploded. Sakura looked sad when the city is no longer there

"Hey, Sakura. What did Ao Guang mean take care of the eggs?" Monkey King asked, she removed the satchel from her shoulder, and showed us 3 eggs

"Where did you get them?" Macaque asked

"From the treasure room" Sakura answered

As Sandy piloted the van through the sea, Sakura made a small nest of blankets for the eggs to keep them warm, Sakura asked us if we can help take turns watching over the eggs, of course we agreed to help her. I got the first watch; I want everyone to rest after today. Kyubi kept me company while everyone (except for Sandy) were sleeping, I made sure the eggs were safe and warm

'I wonder what kind of dragons will hatch from these?' I thought as I carefully poked one of the eggs and it moved a little. I got scared for a bit, but I managed to calm down
