Narrator's POV
Mk, Vee, Nezha and Ao Bing watched in horror as the Lady Bone Demon's maniacal laughter echoed through the air in the aftermath of possessing Funneh, who side-glanced the group with an emotionless look on her face and glowing ice blue eyes.
"Admittedly, this is an unforeseen adjustment, but a fortunate moment of spontaneity nonetheless. I was originally going to use Lola's descendant, but it appears fate has delivered me the perfect and powerful champion!" Lady Bone Demon spoke and then in anger, Vee was about to bolt forward towards the demon when Ao Bing quickly held her back despite himself wanting to attack the Bone Demon himself for possessing the one person who he cherished deeply to his heart. "But Monkey King was winning. He was beating you!" Mk said with a surprised and worried look before he felt a sharp pain in his head as he clenched his head, making Vee concerned as she managed to get out of the Dragon Prince's grasp and rushed over to Mk.
"Oh, sweet child~. Perhaps now you finally understand how pointless your efforts to stop me truly are!" Lady Bone Demon says before she linked her arms behind her back and leaned forward with a cruel smile as a blast of icy wind began to emanate from her being with the group holding their ground as Mk and Vee held each other close.
"The Samadhi Fire will be mine, and I will use its power to reforge this world along with the power of the Elemental Staff of Might and Lady Irene's staff!" Lady Bone Demon says as her eyes were shadowed, but her glowing eyes were seen while the possessed Funneh glares down at the group before the Bone Demon whispers "Go" and with that spine chilling whisper of a command, Funneh disappeared.
Nezha gasped before he looked at the trio and shouted "Boy! Girl! Ao Bing, get back!" but then he was suddenly punched into the ground by Funneh, creating a large crater as Mk, Vee and Ao Bing were sent flying back. "Nezha!!" Ao Bing yelled in worry before Funneh looked up at them with her glaring glowing ice blue eyes and the trio landed roughly on the ground passing a cackling 'Not Mayor', who is still on the ground. They groaned while getting up only to see Funneh launching herself and tried to throw a punch at the trio as Ao Bing immediately got in front of Mk and Vee with his arms spread. "Ao Bing/Prince Ao Bing!!" Mk and Vee both shouted in worry and just before Funneh's fist could come in contact with the Dragon Prince's face. . .
"Flame Breathing... Second Form... Rising Scorching Sun!"
Someone rushed forward as they unleashed an arcing vertical slash in an upwards motion with flames, causing the possessed Funneh to jump back as it revealed to be...
"Gold?!" Mk exclaimed in shock as the second eldest Krew member stands in front of Ao Bing with tears forming at the corner of her eyes while staring at her possessed sister. "Kid! Are you okay?!" Monkey King's voice was heard as he landed on the ground and rushed towards Mk to see if he was okay. "I'm fine, but Nezha's trapped in the ice. You've got to help him!" Mk said while pointing at the crater where Nezha is. "Wukong, look out!" Ao Bing shouted when Funneh suddenly appeared behind him and everything went in slow motion as Monkey King looked over his shoulder and saw he was about to get punched if Macaque didn't save him in time. "Macaque?!" Mk exclaimed and then Ao Bing says "I thought you were still enhanced by the kaleidoscope" and this made Gold and Monkey King look at the Dragon Prince as if he grew two heads. "Yeah, but I got bored of it. Next time, don't distract me especially in these situations" Macaque said before he noticed Funneh was pointing the Elemental Staff of Might at them.
The shadow monkey felt his fur hair go up a little as he asked "What happened to Funneh?" and this made Gold reply with a shaky breath "She got possessed by the Lady Bone Demon while saving me" and Macaque muttered "Shit.." and then Vee looks at Monkey King and says in worry "Nezha's trapped in the ice! Help him, please!" and this made the sage look at her pleading look before nodding. Funneh stares at Gold with an emotionless look before summoning water in her hand and stretches out forward as she starts to reach for the young woman, but Lunar suddenly appears in front of her older sister and summons her staff to swat away the water arm followed by the rest of the Krew and Aphmau also appearing while summoning their weapons before charging forward and attack Funneh. The possessed Krew leader manages to swat away one of Gold's fireballs and a purple blast of magic with her water arm.
Funneh gives an unimpressed look before Draco flies around his possessed sister and shouts/pleaded "Funneh, come on! Snap out of it!" but in response, the possessed young woman tries to grab Draco, but only to grab another fireball as Rainbow pulls out her whip and uses to bring Funneh's water arm down and then Vee jumps in front of the oldest Krew member, surprising her as the young basilisk shouts "Hang tight, Funneh!" and with that, Vee opens her mouth and starts draining Lady Bone Demon's magic out of Funneh with her powers as this shocked and surprised everyone. The possessed young woman grunts before glaring at the young basilisk before she shoots some magic towards Vee with the Elemental Staff of Might. "Vee, watch out!" Lunar shouted as she grabbed the young basilisk before the magic could hit her and Lunar puts Vee with Ao Bing and Mk before heading back to help the rest of the Krew and Aphmau. With the possessed Funneh now distracted, Monkey King quickly makes his way to where Nezha was trapped and punches the ice as it breaks, freeing the Lotus Prince.
"Wukong..." Nezha managed to say as the sage helps him up while saying "Come on. We better help the others" and then the two looked forward just in time to see Funneh using her water arm to grab each Krew member as it turns into ice, trapping them in the process before Funneh threw them somewhere away as the Krew screamed. "No!!" Mk shouted before flinching when the possessed Funneh turned her attention to him, Vee and Ao Bing and just before she could a step forward, Aphmau suddenly appeared beside her possessed childhood friend and wrapped her arms around her tightly. "I know you can hear me, Funneh. Fight her off!" Aphmau exclaimed, but unfortunately the possessed Funneh grabs Aphmau and throws her forward, causing the raven-hair girl to scream as Ao Bing quickly rushed forward and caught Aphmau in his arms as they both fell on the ground. Without even giving them a chance to get up, Funneh charged forward to launch a punch towards the group with Mk saying "Wait!" and then suddenly a shadow portal opens beneath the group as they were transported somewhere else.
"We need to go after them!" Nezha said before he and Monkey King both saw Funneh pulling out her sword and charged towards them as she performed a continuous flowing attack and the attack took the form of a japanese water dragon as it roars.
"Water Breathing... Tenth Form... Constant Flux!"
The two froze as the attack was about to hit them when a shadow portal appeared underneath them just in time as they were also teleported somewhere else while the sword hits the ground.
Somewhere with Mk's Group
Mk, Vee, Ao Bing and Aphmau were falling from the sky as they screamed before crashing through the trees and landed into a pile of mud. "Ow. That's gonna leave a mark" Ao Bing muttered as he rubs his head and then Mk exclaims "Huh?! Wha?! Where are we?! Huh?! Wha?!" but then a frog lands on his head, causing him to faceplant in the mud again before sitting up. "Girls, are you alright?" Ao Bing asked in concern as both Aphmau and Vee got up with the young basilisk wiping the mud off her face while Aphmau shakes some mud off her head before frantically looking around before spotting Lady Irene's staff next to her and grabs it with a sigh of relief.
"We're okay. A little mud won't hurt anyone" Vee says before looking away as she was ready to cry while Aphmau looks around and noticed that Macaque wasn't with them and they were in a jungle when suddenly Ally's tiger appeared in the distance and roared out fire into the air, sending out a gush of wind as this caught the group's attention. "Ally? Ally!" Mk exclaimed and gets up but his show gets stuck in the mud, causing him to fall into the mud again and Aphmau helps him up as the group starts making their way to where the Samadhi Fire burst from with Mk keeps falling down while getting covered in the mud.
Meanwhile at the Mystic Mountain
Sandy is repairing the T.E.A. before getting in as Pigsy, Tang, Mei, Hilda, Adira and the Spider Goons were already inside the van. "What took so dang long?" Pigsy asked with his arms crossed. "Oh, my sweet Pigsy. One should always inspect their vehicle before heading out on a long drive" Sandy said and then Mei adds "Well, he's not wrong. I always check my motorbike before riding it".
"Now strap in, friends! Let's go find Ally! LE'GO!" Sandy said as he started up the van, but then suddenly a crack was heard. "Uh, what was that?" Tang asked before the ground underneath them broke as it created a huge hole and fell into what looks like a hidden room below the temple and once the van hit the bottom, Tang was the first one to get out of the van due to the impact followed by Pigsy, who lands on a tire with Mei, Hilda and the Spider Goons landing on the ground while Adira landed on her feet before dusting off her outfit. "What happened?" Pigsy asked and then suddenly Sandy cried out while hugging his broken van "Oh, no! My T.E.A!!! Why do I break all the things I love?!" and this made both Spider Queen and Adira sweatdrop while Hilda thought to herself 'I mean Huntsman is still intact so...' before Sandy says while pulling out his toolbox and started fixing the van "It's okay, gang. 22 to 48 hours of tinkering, and we'll get the old girl back on the road".
"48 hours!? We've got to find Ally now!" Pigsy shouted and then Mei asked "But first, where exactly are we?" and then Tang suddenly says "Guys, look!" and this caught the group's attention as they saw the statues of Monkey King and his companions. "Is that... Monkey King?" Pigsy asked before Mei said "Kind of a weird spot to put a library, don't you think?" and then Tang says excitedly "No. It's- oh! This must be an ancient holding for writings of the Great Monk, Tang Sanzang!".
"Okay. Uh, maybe I'm crazy, but uh... Those are us, right?" Pigsy said as he points at the statues. "They even have my great thousand times grandfather here too" Mei points at the dragon statue. "Oh! We're finally getting into it, huh? So what do you think? I've got some theories" Sandy says as he pulled out a pile of papers, books and scrolls, making Hilda have a dotted expression on her face. "B-B-But, Pigsy! What are you talking about? I've met your parents. These heroes existed hundreds of years ago. There's no way those could be us!" Tang said. "Oh, come on, Tang! A blue guy and a pig? We know Mei's descended from that dragon, and we also know those women over there is Lady Irene and the Mighty Five. And you literally have the same name as Tang Sanjang!" Pigsy said. "Tang Sanzang" Tang corrected Pigsy. "Whatever his name is! Pigsy is telling you this is a big coincidence!" Mei says and then Pigsy yelled while Tang's gaze remained fixed on the ground in front of him "Oh, come on! You can't tell me you don't see it!?".
"Yeah, I'm with Pigsy on this. I mean, surely we found this place for a reason, right?" Sandy asked and then Tang says sadly "But... Compared to the Great Monk... I'm not great..." and then Pigsy placed his hand on Tang's shoulder as he reassured his friend "You're pretty great to me, Tang. Besides, your story ain't over. Not yet" and this made Tang smile as he looks back at the statues before Mei says with a worried expression "I hope the others are okay" and Syntax looks at her before saying in reassurance "Don't worry, Mei. I'm sure wherever they are, they're okay" and then Ender comes over and nuzzles against Mei's side with Stringbean wrapping herself around her neck while Kirby was on the young woman's head, making Mei smile softly at them.
Meanwhile at the Temple
Ally is now balancing on some dishes while holding two buckets of water with Vulko standing next to Red son, who was sitting down on the rooftop as they were inspecting the young girl's progress.
"Not bad, little sister. It's been nearly five minutes since your last explosion. Keep this up, and you'll be ready to wield the fire in no time" and then he and Vulko heard something rustling coming from the potted plants, "Huh?" and Ally noticed this as she asked in a concern tone "What's going on?" and Vulko narrowed his eyes as he says in a stern tone "Stay here" and with that, he and Red son both jumped down to investigate the noise as Vulko pulled out his weapon while the fire demon summoned a flame in his hand. The two were about to attack when suddenly Mk, who was completely covered in mud appears and a frog on his head that opened its green eyes. The young man tried to speak, but the mud in his mouth got in the way as he opened his eyes and blinked while the frog croaked.
Red son growled in annoyance, already knowing who it was as he starts to say while Vulko lowered his weapon down with an eyebrow raised "For the love of- I thought you were-" but then he was cut off by Ally suddenly in front of them while screaming "A Mud Monster!!".
"Young one, wait! It's just-" Ally didn't listen and summons her dark red tiger and it shot out the Samadhi Fire at Mk, solidifying the mud. The mud cast cracks open as Mk immediately tackled the young girl into a hug as he cried out "ALLY!!!" and the speed made both Red son and Vulko jump into the air and the fire demon fell back on the ground while the elderly man landed on his feet. "Ally! Y-You're okay! You're not on fire! What happened?!" Mk asked frantically, making Ally giggle as she says while helping Red son back up "Yeah, yeah, I'm okay. I'm okay, really. Actually, it's all thanks to Big brother Red son and Mr. Vulko".
"Whhhhaaaaaa!?" Mk gasped in shock. "Yeah, he and Mr. Vulko has been teaching me how to use" Ally said and then suddenly a voice was heard from behind them.
"Ally!!" the young girl didn't have time to react as a pair of arms wrapped around her and was pulled into a hug as it revealed to be Aphmau, who was crying. "Ally! Oh My God! You have no idea how worried everyone was! Especially Funneh!" Aphmau says and then another voice was heard, causing Vulko's eyes to slightly widen.
"Ally, you're here!"
The group turned around to see Ao Bing coming out from the potted plants along with Vee, who starts to say with happiness "Ally! You're okay! You're al-" but stopped when she spotted Vulko, who was staring at her. The young basilisk's eyes widened in shock and disbelief as she stammered "M-Master V-Vulko....!" and the elderly man's expression softens as he says "Hello Vee" and then with tears falling down from her face, Vee cried out "Master Vulko!!!" and she rushed towards him and immediately hugged him as the young basilisk began crying her heart out. "You're alive!! You're okay! How?! I Thought You Were Dead!!!" and Vee continues crying as she felt different emotions running through her, but what stood out the most was happiness and relief that her mentor/father figure was okay. Vulko was stunned for a moment before he slowly hugged her back and said in a soft tone "I'm sorry that I've worried you, young one. Everything is fine and I am alright" and Vee began to slowly calm down as she sniffles with tears still coming down and everyone watches with a soft look.
"Aww. What a cute moment!" a voice cooed before a smack was heard followed by an 'ow', causing everyone to look and saw Nezha and Monkey King, who was rubbing his head as the Lotus Prince glares at him. "Monkey King!" Mk exclaimed and then Ally stared at Monkey King for a moment as the sage noticed this and sighs before he starts to say "Hey hónglián... Glad to see you're okay" and Ally continued staring at him before she gave a small smile and nodded at him before Nezha spoke "I'll admit... I'm impressed that you're able to control the fire in just a short time, child" and Ally smiled at him as she said "Thanks! If it wasn't Red son and Mr. Vulko, I probably would've burned up the whole world with the Samadhi Fire by now" and after she said, Mk realized something.
"Wait! That's right! The Lady Bone Demon! She's after the Samadhi Fire and Lady Irene's staff!" Mk exclaimed and Aphmau said "We've gotta get out of here now!" and this shocked Red son, Ally and Vulko. "What!?! And you all came here?!" Red son exclaimed and Ao Bing said "It's not like we came here on purpose!" and suddenly thunder strikes as the sky turned dark and a chilly blue color. They all looked up and saw lighting before someone came crashing down on the ground as it revealed to be the possessed Funneh, whose hair was styled in a full, long ponytail with kanzashi hairpins (three on each side) holding up the ponytail while wearing a warrior armor in varying shades of blue and silver with a black suit underneath it with bandages on her arms and she has the Elemental Staff of Might behind her back.
Vulko and Ally's breath both hitched at the sight of the possessed Funneh in front of them as Ally managed to say in horror "Funneh?" and she was about to step forward when both Mk and Aphmau blocked her path with their arms out in front of the young girl protectively while the others got into defensive stances with Nezha, Ao Bing, Vulko and Aphmau pulling out their weapons. "No. Not anymore" Mk said. "It's her! The Lady Bone Demon! She's possessed Funneh, just like she did with my father when we... used that magic key... to... release her from her prison..." Red son chuckled nervously while tapping his fingers together, "Oh, boy" and this caused everyone except Nezha to look at Red son with a deadpanned expression. "Yeah, thanks, Red son" Mk said with a sarcastic tone. "You did what?!" Nezha yelled.
A familiar eerie/chilling chuckle was heard along with Lady Bone Demon's voice in the air while her shadow was appearing in the clouds, "So, we meet again, son of the Demon Bull King. You're right. I never quite thanked you for freeing me from my prison. Your father was the most fitting host for my power in the time we had" and this made Red son gritted his teeth in anger. "Funneh, on the other hand, well... She's something else" the possessed Funneh took a step forward, causing the floor to crack as this made the others get defensive. "I'm guessing we can't beat her" Red son said and Ao Bing gritted his teeth while saying "Not when she and the Lady Bone Demon are one" and then Nezha says while gripping his spear tightly "He's right. Katara was the strongest one of the Mighty Five and since Funneh is her descendant that would mean that she's also powerful".
"But if the Lady Bone Demon gets the fire-" Mk starts to say before he was cut off by Lady Bone Demon speaking "That is one other thing I must thank you for. Creating the Samadhi Fire! Why, without you, I would never have been able to fulfill my destiny!" and then Red son turned to the group and said "We have to get out of here, now!!" but then the possessed Funneh suddenly appears in front of him.
"But that is where your usefulness ends"
"Uh oh" Red son turned around and was met with a sharp punch in the stomach, sending him crashing into the temple's wall. "Red son!!" Ally and Vee both screamed and then Funneh charged at Vulko with full speed as the elderly muttered "Oh no..." and Aphmau noticed this and yelled while running towards him "Vulko! Run!" but Vulko was frozen still as the possessed Funneh still runs towards him charging up her fist for a powerful punch. However Aphmau gets in the way just in time to block a direct hit on Vulko, causing the two to end up getting knocked back backwards on the ground while the raven-haired girl groans while she leans up a little. Ao Bing and Monkey King both ran towards Funneh as they tried to keep her still by holding onto both her arms with the Dragon Prince on the left while the sage was on the right. The possessed Funneh not even looking like she finds it as a struggle, more of just it being two bugs hanging onto her as she tossed Monkey King away with no sweat before swinging Ao Bing onto the floor as he groans in pain. Monkey King tried to attack her, but ended up getting side kicked in the stomach and crashed into the balcony's wall. Funneh then leaps backwards before kicking Ao Bing in the ribs, sending him crashing right onto Monkey King's lap with the two knocked out and out of commission.
"No!!" Mk, Aphmau, Ally and Vee cried out as the possessed Funneh looked back at the group and then Ally began trying to calm her anger with Aphmau holding her close. "There is nowhere left to run! No place you might go that I cannot find you! Why drag this on longer than is necessary? I have waited long enough! Bring them to me now!" Lady Bone Demon ordered and the possessed Funneh charged towards the girls at full speed, but Mk quickly got in front of them with his hands stretched out as he yelled "Funneh, stop!" and this made Funneh stop with her fist and inch away from Mk's face as a gust of wind picked up. "You're stronger than her! Force her out!" Mk said and for a moment, Funneh's possessed eyes stopped glowing and placed her hand on Mk's shoulder while she managed to say "M...k..." and this made Mk smile thinking he might've gotten through her until...
"It's no use"
Funneh's grip tightened on Mk's shoulder, making him groan in pain before tossing Mk aside as he passed by the still unconscious Dragon Prince and sage while crashing through the balcony of the temple, but luckily he managed to grab onto a rope. "Mk!!" Aphmau screamed and she was about to rush forward when Vulko blocked her path. "No. You stay here. The Lotus Prince and I will handle this. Vee, hide now!" Vulko ordered the young basilisk, who hesitated before nodding and ran off to hide somewhere while the elderly man and Nezha both charged forward towards Funneh with their weapons. The possessed young woman pulled out the Elemental Staff of Might and blocked an attack that Vulko was about to unleash. "Funneh! Come to your senses! This isn't you!" Vulko pleaded to his possessed student before Funneh swung the staff, making the elderly to move back before he was caught off-guard when the possessed young woman kicked him in the stomach, causing him to choke as he was launched in the air before getting kicked in the back with the elderly man crashing into the ground.
"Master!!" Vee cried out as the possessed Funneh stared down at the unconscious elderly man before she blocked Nezha's spear as the two had a stare down while trying to overpower each other. "Funneh, please! It's me, Nezha! You're under control! Please snap out of it!!" Nezha pleaded to the girl that he's in love with while not wanting to hurt her. Instead of listening, Funneh managed to get the spear away from Nezha as he had no choice but to fend for himself with his raw strength as the possessed Funneh swings the staff at Nezha, who disappeared for a moment. Then the young woman was tackled down by the Lotus Prince with Funneh managing to get on top before attempting to punch him in the head two times as Nezha blocks them and then the possessed Funneh jumped into the air and slams her fist down onto the ground with the Lotus Prince managing to escape. Just before the young woman could get up, Nezha punched Funneh in the face as he realized what he did before the possessed young woman started punching the Lotus Prince a few more times afterwards.
Eventually Nezha managed to kick Funneh back away from him before the possessed Krew leader runs towards the Lotus Prince as she tries to land a punch on him, but Nezha blocks the attack before lifting his leg to kick Funneh when she manages to grab his leg; stopping him in the process, making Nezha's eyes widened. Then the possessed young woman jumps into the air while still holding onto Nezha's leg before slamming him right through the ground, making the Lotus Prince yell out in pain. "Nezha!" Aphmau yelled in worry as she and Ally both stared in shock.
"The girls"
"Mk?!"
Funneh turns back around to the girls and they immediately get defensive as Ally summons the Samadhi Fire while being engulfed in flames while Aphmau lifts up Lady Irene's staff with magic surrounding her. "So, this is the power of the Samadhi Fire" Lady Bone Demon's voice says as she sounded intrigued. "Stay back! I don't wanna hurt you, Funneh!" Ally stated with a glare, but the Bone Demon simply giggled before tauntingly said "You think whatever happens to Katara's descendant is of concern to me? She's a vessel. Nothing more. You would really destroy your own friend to save yourself?" and this made Ally glare even harder as she hesitates before Aphmau says to her "Ally! You're the one in control of the flame! Don't be afraid to use it!" and then Ally remembered the words Red son and Vulko both told her during their training.
"Harmonize the wild energies and emotions burning within us and focus them"
"If you only do what you can do, you'll never be better than what you are"
Ally closes her eyes for a moment before saying with a glare "Funneh and Wukong both knew the risks. It's what they would do if they had to. I also know that Funneh will never remain under control and she's gonna keep fighting no matter what! That's the hard part of being a hero! Aph, with me!" and this made the raven-haired girl nod before the two began focusing their magic/power.
"Breathe. . . Calm"
The young girl brought down her hands together with her respective fire in her while the young woman's staff began to glow brighter. "Focus!" Ally and Aphmau both shot their fire/magic with one hand or staff at the possessed Funneh as it seemed to have no effect on her while walking through the fire.
"Hero? Please! You're not heroes. You're mere agents of chaos. The very thing I aspire to eradicate in this new world!" Funneh starts making her way to the girls while Mk manages to climb back up and sees what was happening.
"No more destruction! No more disorder! I will have perfection!" Lady Bone Demon's voice says while the possessed Funneh made it to the girls as she grabbed both of their hands and ice slowly spread through their bodies as Aphmau and Ally both gritted their teeth and glared at the possessed Funneh. "Ally! Aph! No!" Mk yelled as he starts running towards them with Aphmau and Ally both giving Mk tearful smiles as the raven-haired girl says "Mk... Take care of Kirby for me..." and then the two girls shared a look and nodded as Ally brought her hand to her chest with Aphmau bringing Lady Irene's staff close to her too and the two girls brought out their respective glow of their power before a huge explosion took place, covering the three girls. Once the smoke cleared out, Mk's eyes widened in horror when he saw his crush and little sister figure were now frozen in an ice crystal. The possessed Funneh side-glanced at Mk with her glowing ice blue eyes and a blue wind tornado surrounded her and the two girls before they disappeared as Mk could only stare.
"N-No..." Vee muttered as tears formed in her eyes before the group started getting up with groans as they were still in pain. "W-What happened?" Ao Bing said as he sat up along with Monkey King while Vulko helped Nezha up. "Little sister! Potato girl! We have to go after them!" Red son says while holding his arm before Mk said "No, what we need is a plan. If we go after them now, there's no way we win" and then Red Son says while he and the others went to Mk "But our only chance to beat the Lady Bone Demon just teleported away! Ally was our last hope!" and then Mk looks at the group and says "As long as we're still standing, there's always hope. Ally's way too stubborn to let any of this get her down. Between that and your training, she's not going to give up the Samadhi Fire without a fight" and this surprised both Monkey King and Ao Bing as the sage muttered in awe and amazed by his successor's determination "Kid...".
"I can't tell if you're being heroic or moronic. But all right. Let's make a plan" Red son said. "All right. Leggo!" Mk exclaimed as he pulled Red son's arm and ran towards the balcony while the fire demon began panicking "Wait, what are you–?!" but before Red son could even finish, Mk threw him in the air as the fire demon began freaking out before Mk transforms into an eagle and grabs Red son while flying away followed by Nezha as Monkey King and Ao Bing also transformed with Vulko and Vee were both on the Dragon Prince's back.
In Tang Sanzang's Secret Library
After regrouping and filling the others in on the situation, everyone seemed pretty low as Adira was on the verge of going on a rampage as Hilda and Spider Queen were both trying to calm her down while Mei was in tears after hearing what happened to her friends and boyfriend as she refused to cry with Ao Bing comforting her. Pigsy sighs before saying "I'm not going to lie, kid. I mean, if the Lady Bone Demon has the Krew, Aphmau, Ally, the Elemental Staff of Might, Lady Irene's staff, and the Samadhi Fire. I don't know... I'm not really feeling much confidence here".
"Pssh yeah, that's why we're going to formulate a plan! I'm open to suggestions, what do we got?" Mk asked while looking at the group with Kirby resting in his lap. It was quiet for a moment before Tang says with an uncertainty tone as it sounded like a question "Uh... Die with dignity?" and this made Adira, Vulko, Hilda and Vee look at him as if he grew two heads. "WHAT KIND OF PLAN IS THAT?!" Pigsy yelled, making the others flinched.
"I don't know. It's just... Aren't we back where we were when Ally and Monkey King flew off into the sky?!" Tang shot back. "What? No! It's nothing like that! Cause now we've got a Red son, a Nezha and a Vulko! We didn't have a Red Son, a Nezha and a Vulko before" Mk said as he pointed out to the trio as the fire demon was leaning against the wall. "Oh yeah, a real game changer" Pigsy remarked sarcastically. "Hey!" Red son cried out while looking offended as Vulko raised an eyebrow while looking unamused. "I take that offensive" Nezha said before glaring at Ao Bing when he heard him snickering. "We're just doing the same thing over and over again. I'm losing my mind over here!" Pigsy complained and unknown to everyone, a shadow appears from Red son's feet and extends to the wall revealing a familiar shadow monkey.
"I hope I'm not interrupting" Macaque's voice says as his top half of his body was hanging out of the purple tinted shadow while this startled and frightened Red son, who backs away from the wall in a panicked manner. "Mr. Macaque!" Vee cried out happily while Monkey King rolled his eyes and muttered "Look who decided to show up" and then Adira sighs in relief as she says "Brother, you're alright" and then Macaque says "Sorry, I'm late everyone... But if you're planning on defeating the Lady Bone Demon, I have a guy who might be able to help" and then he pulled out a beaten and disheveled 'mayor' as he falls out from the shadow portal before the 'Not Mayor' gets up and looks at the group before snickering as the group stares at him.
