No One P.O.V - In the Past
Azure Lion and the Brotherhood were preparing themselves for the battle against the Jade Emperor and his army
"This is it, Azure. You and me. All of us" Then Wukong notice that Macaque isn't with them and saw him behind the group fixing his clothing "Oh, bud. Let me help with that. You gotta have it tight, otherwise it's-"
"Okay! I got it!" Macaque sneered
"Just checkin'. Geez" Wukong then headed back to where Azure and the others are "Just think, we're all gonna be so many immortal soon. Ha! I'm kind of losing track of how many times I'm immortal, but..."
"Ha ha! If we triumph in this rebellion, the people will never live in fear. We're about to change everything. It's all because of you, brother" Azure said
"Aw, Azure, you big sweetie. It's gonna be you, me and all the boys living it up forever" Wukong said
"Everyone..." The group turned their heads to see Konohana with a look of worry "I'm very worried about this. What if something bad happens to you all?" Konohana asked
"Don't worry too much, I promise we'll come back safe and sound" Wukong reassured her
"It is as Wukong said, we'll be alright" Macaque said
"Alright. I believe you" Konohana said
"Konohana, I think you should head back to the Celestial Realm. We don't want anyone to worry of your sudden disappearance" Peng said
"I know. But will you all promise me to be safe?" Konohana asked
"We promise, Kono... hana..." Then Azure snapped out from his memory as he screamed in pain and his newfound power was bursting from within him. The strings that was holding the skies together snapped apart and the three weapons that belonged to the three pilgrims went towards Azure, and a spell circle appeared beneath him and the power was now in control
"Perhaps our ambition to take the Jade Emperor's throne was premature. We miscalculated" Yellowtusk said as the three weapons disappeared
"No, this wasn't quite what we expected. But I will master this power. I will use it to create a new world order, if the Jade Emperor can contain this power then so can I" Azure said as he groaned in pain
"Azure, the damage to the realm..." Azure cut Yellowtusk off
"It is worth the price. Nothing without sacrifice. Nothing" Azure said as his eyes glowed
Sakura P.O.V - Flower Fruit Mountain
After what happened with Iris, we went inside Monkey King's home so she could rest. I changed her out of her ripped clothing and put on some new set of clothes
After a while, Iris woke up
"Iris! How are you feeling?" I asked
"I'm okay..." Iris said and she noticed her changed of clothes
"Your last clothes were ripped, so I decided to put on new clothes for you to wear" I said and I heard the door opening, revealing Princess Iron Fan, Kyubi and Huli
"Iris, are you alright?" Princess Iron Fan asked
"I'm alright" Iris answered
"Are you sure? You can stay here and we'll tell you the plan later" Kyubi said
"I'll go. I don't want to miss anything" Iris said
"Alright. But you're sticking with me" Huli said as he picked up Iris bridal style, and making her blush
"I-I can walk you know!" Iris exclaimed as her face was still red
"Nope. I'm carrying you" Huli said as he started walking out of the room
"I better catch up with them. That boy needs my blessing if he wishes to date my sister" Kyubi said as he left to follow them, and both Princess Iron Fan and I chuckled
"It is surprising that Kyubi and Iris are related, but I'm happy they're together again" Princess Iron Fan said
"Yeah, me too. Let's head to the living room, I know everyone is waiting" I said and we left to the living room
When we got to the living room, Princess Iron Fan sat on DBK's shoulder. Nezha who was still wearing bandages was sitting on the couch with Uncle Tang and Uncle Pigsy. Red Son was leaning against the wall, Huli and Iris we're leaning against the wall on the floor with Kyubi floating by them, MK, Mei and Uncle Sandy were on the floor. Once everyone was gathered, Monkey King started to clear his throat
"Okay, Monkey class is in session" Monkey King said, and I saw Uncle Tang looking excited
"Ho ho! Smartie Kid is in attendance!" MK said
"Smartie Kid?" Red Son looked confused
"MK called himself that when he lost his powers from LBD" I whispered to Red Son and nodded in understanding
"Pull up some floor, little Lotus Prince. There's plenty of room at the front" Uncle Sandy said as he patted a spot on the floor
"I'm... I'm not gonna do that" Nezha said
"What about you, Sakura?" Uncle Sandy asked
"Sure. I'll take the spot" I said as I sat down on the floor. And I felt arms wrapped around me, I turned my head to see Nezha
"I change my mind" Nezha said as he rested his chin on top of my head
"I can't believe how many wise masters I'm getting trained this season!" Uncle Tang said excitedly
"Uncle Tang, please don't break the forth wall" I said with a sweatdrop
"Wise master, huh? Let me know when he gets here" Iris said and she quickly grabbed the crayon that was flying towards her, and threw it back to Monkey King who caught it "Nice try, simian"
"That was hot" Huli said and Iris turned bright red again and she covered her face with her hands
"So you're gonna tell us how to beat your old sworn brothers that hate you now or what?" Uncle Pigsy asked
"I agree with the pigman. I hope you know what you're planning this time" DBK said
"Do you want me to throw crayons at you both? Cause I have a whole box" Monkey King said as he pulled out a box of crayons from his pocket and both DBK and Uncle Pigsy were silent "That's what I thought" Then he tossed the box to the side and looked at the wall with drawings "Now listen up, if we're gonna beat Azure, Yellowtusk and Peng, you've got some learning to do. Peng is the most dangerous foe any of you have ever face. But the only thing they care about more than fighting is self preservation. The moment the battle looks like it's turning against them, they'll flee" Monkey King said
"Ugh. Peng's the worst" Mei said
"He does indeed run away when the battle isn't in his favor" DBK said
"Yellowtusk is tough, smart and faster then he looks. He was a handful even before he had your weapons. But he's not a monster, maybe we can make him see reason" Monkey King said
"That's not a super solid plan" Uncle Tang said
"But we have to try, Uncle Tang. I know Yellowtusk has a good heart" I said
"Um, excuse me? Well, what about Azure?" Mei asked with her hand up
"I agree with dragon girl. What are your plans with Azure?" Red Son asked
"Heh. Nothing gets under his skin more than a monkey. Leave Azure to MK and me" Monkey King said then Macaque appears and scared Uncle Tang and Uncle Pigsy
"Azure won't admit it, but he has a thirst for revenge. Truth is, he's gonna be on Wukong like a bad smell. Like Wukong doesn't smell bad enough already" Macaque said and both DBK and Huli started to snickering
"Hey! I got the crayon, I do the saying! But don't worry, I almost beat the Jade Emperor single handed once. Between both of us, Azure doesn't stand a chance" Monkey King said and Nezha stood up
"Wukong, he has the Scroll of Memory. With it, he'll be able to defeat the combined armies of Heaven. So long as Azure has the scroll in his grasp, we don't stand a chance" Nezha said
"What if we get it out of his grasp?" MK asked
"Yeah, sure. If we can do that impossible thing, yeah" Nezha said with his sounding sarcastic, then Monkey King threw a crayon at him, and sent Nezha flying and hitting the ground
"Great! Sounds like Nezha's on board!" MK said with a smile

When MK and Mei defeated Monkey King's clone, both of them got new armor and I was in awe
"You both look amazing!" Both Uncle Tang and I said in unison
"I want one of those..." Uncle Tang said as he cried
"Yeah, what gives? Where's our cool new battle armor?" Uncle Pigsy asked
"Ah, when you've earned it" Mei said sounding like a master
"Oh, yeah, sure" Uncle Pigsy said and was struck with realization on what Mei meant "Hey!!"
"Oopie, guess you shouldn't have lost you magic weapon thingy" Mei teased
Back to Monkey King's house
"Okay, so we all know I'm the greatest teacher in all of history"
"Ugh, this guy" Macaque facepalmed
"But my plan making-"
"Is the worst" Mei said and everyone except MK, Uncle Tang and I nodded in agreement
"Okay, hurtful. I was gonna say needs improvement, either way I'm gonna hand this over to a pro" Monkey King said as he tossed the crayon towards MK, but it hit his face and MK managed to catch the crayon "You're up, kiddo"
"What? Why me?" MK asked
"Cause you're the plan man, man" Monkey King said
"Oh, yeah. Give us one MK master plan special to go" Uncle Pigsy said
[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]
Once MK laughed nervously about his plan, and Uncle Tang saying 'We're all gonna die', Mei gasped
"Okay. Take everything MK just said, but hear me out" Mei moved all the papers on the wall to the floor "So what if..."
No One P.O.V - In the Celestial Realm
Yellowtusk was sitting in the dining hall with Peng who was enjoying his drink
"Hmm, I was expecting a little more pageantry once we were running the show. Turns out Azure even trapped the cupbears in the scroll, well except for one. Cupbear! Refill my cup!" Peng ordered as a young woman rushed out holding the container with the wine, and poured it into the cup. Once she was done, she quickly left "Looks like this girl hid very well, at least it didn't fully dampen the mood" Peng said as he took a sip of his drink and put his feet up on the table
"We are missing more than weight staff, brother. Look around, this is not the change we dreamt of" Yellowtusk said
"Oh, I don't know. A little bit of chaos might be good for the world" Peng said with a shrug then Yellowtusk slammed his hand on the table
"No more tricks, Peng! Azure cannot control this power! He's tearing this world into pieces! I have done all I can to aid in continuing it, but when he loses his hold and he will, there will be no hope for this world" Yellowtusk said
"Brothers..." Azure entered the hall and groaned in pain as the power started to become unstable again as more creaks appears around them, but Azure managed to control the power "It seems like an eternity since we feasted in these very halls together. To think it was here that our friendship was first forged. Look at us now, brothers. We're going to do amazing things. I think that's a cause for celebration" Azure said as he lifted up the spilled cup for the toast of their success
"There is little to celebrate"
"Yellowtusk" Peng warned
"It must be said. Azure, you cannot contain this power. As hollow as his rule was, we severely underestimated the Jade Emperor's strength. We cannot write the wrongs of the world if there is no world left to save" Yellowtusk said and Azure grew angry
"Enough!" Azure shouted as he destroyed the cup in his hand "You question me as I stand on the brink of this world's salvation?!" Azure's shouts frighten both Yellowtusk and Peng "You'd still be locked away! Without me you'd...!" Then Azure realized of his sudden behavior and quickly calmed down "I apologize. I... It's just the Monkey King, the boy... They weigh on me"
"Don't spare another thought on them, brother. Let Wukong and his little friends keep playing being heroes" Peng said
"Hold on... Wukong is alive?! But his name plate was...!"
"It seems like the pink haired girl, Sakura was able to protect the plate and took it with her. And they were also able to release him as well" Peng said
"Yes, yes, of course. How could I have not seen it sooner? Even now, the very thought of Wukong serves to impede my efforts! I will remain distracted for my task as long as he draws breaths. I Cannot remake this world until he has been removed from it" Azure said
"There are more important tasks that settling grudges" Yellowtusk said
"I did not sacrifice everything simply to be an idle deity. I will do what my predecessor will not. I will strike Monkey King down... Now!" Azure said as he pulled out his saber and was about to bring it down, but Yellowtusk stopped him
"A moment, brother"
"What is it?" Azure asked
"While I was looking through the papers, amongst them was a Will that belongs to the Jade Emperor" Yellowtusk said
"A Will? He had a Will?" Azure asked
"Yes, it read that the Jade Emperor had half of the power he once had" Yellowtusk said
"Half? What do you mean half?" Peng asked
"The Jade Emperor split his power into two. He kept the first half and the other half was given to someone else"
"Who?" Azure asked
"...He given the other half of the power to Konohana" Yellowtusk said, shocking both Azure and Peng "But since Konohana is no longer in this world, the power was passed down to her descendant..."
"Sakura..." Then they fell silent "We must bring her back here. Immediately" Azure said as the bright light surrounded them
Flower Fruit Mountain
Everyone was preparing themselves for the battle against Azure and the Brotherhood. MK tied his bandana on his head, Mei was practicing her sword skills, Red Son was training Sakura, she was in her new form and using the Samadhi Fire and sword. Tang put helmets on the baby monkeys heads and gave them spears, and Mei gave him the okay, but Pigsy cried because the first armor he gave the monkeys was a wok, a apron with the Pigsy's noodles logo and a spoon. Sandy was in the storage room blowing up a big balloon for the ship.
MK was with Wukong, MK was clipping on the buckle of his boots
"You got this, bud! Would've liked to give you some training with your new monkey form, but..."
"Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. About that, um... I was thinking, I've never really needed a scary new monkey form before, so I thought maybe I'd just use it next time" MK said
"Next time?! Kid, there might not be a next time. This is the time" Wukong said as he pointed at the freaked skies
"It'll be fine. Mei and I have got this awesome new armor and Sakura has a form and everything. You know, when we look this good, ain't nothing gonna beat us" MK said and Wukong held MK's shoulder
"Kid, new armor isn't gonna cut it. We have to hit Azure with everything we've got. You can't just ignore this whole part of your power cause it scares you" Wukong said
"I know, but-" MK's sentence was cut off as the skies turned dark blue, and the skies creaked more. They both glared at the sky since they knew who it is
Then a shadow portal appeared, and everyone minus Red Son, Princess Iron Fan and Nezha fell out
"They're coming! Get down!" Macaque said as he came out from the shadows, then a pillar of light appeared in front of the group
"I warned you! I told you to stay out of my way! But here you stand, preparing for treason against the new Jade Emperor! And so I will test the limits of Sun Wukong's immortality!" Azure shouted and the battle has begun
To be continued in Rip and Tear
