•Chapter 8• {|Rise Of The Demon Bull King|} •Pt.1•

It soon was morning, it was cloudy, seeming like it was going to rain soon, but overall, it seemed calm, well...until the news of the battle of the demon bull king family came up in town. Li Mei was fast asleep, snoring deep in slumber and finally getting some shut eye from being up half all night. Kenji was on the porch, watching the cloudy sky, holding his staff and wearing a brown and light brown kimono, and having his long grey/white hair in a braid. He felt the wind flowing past him, him feeling calm from the breeze. He was still thinking of what happened last night, seeing his granddaughter in such a terrible state, it broke him, he then felt determined to protect and save his daughter from any sorts of evil from around them, even if he had to fight for her to be safe, he'll do so. He kept his vow, ever since the birth of Li Mei, he kept it, even as old as he was, he still kept that vow close on his mind and was destined to keep Li Mei safe, the one and only thing he had left.

Li Mei slept more, drool on her pillow, her hair messy and her face and forehead drenched in sweat, but the cool air made her skin feel cold and chilly. She was still shaken from the nightmare she had, but she was calm and settled by sunrise, thankfully getting some rest was the one thing she craved for that morning. By the sunrising behind the hills, she felt a small beam of light leak through the small slit in the curtains, making her move a little and she turned away for some more sleep away from the sunlight. Meanwhile in the town, in the deep depths of the city, there was a redhead and his mother, and an army of bots behind. Them marching to the resting of the great and evil, Demon Bull King. A demon that was defeated and sealed away by the great Sun Wukong A.K.A, The Monkey King, the son of this bull demon, a redheaded hot head named Red Son, and the wife of the beast, Princess Iron Fan. Once they had finally found the mountain that the demon was sealed, Red Son and Princess Iron Fan was determined to set him free, but the one thing that was keeping the seal unbroken, was monkey king's staff.

"Yes!!! Finally, we've finally found the great monkey king's staff!!!" Yelled Red Son with excitement and determination. "Finally...after all these years, my husband will finally be free from this prison..." said his mother in an evil and soft tone. One of the bullbots tried to pull up the staff, but it's arms popping and snapping from they're sockets and falling onto the ground in failure. Princess Iron Fan sighing and grunting in frustration of the failed attempt, "Ugh...another failure!" You fool!!!" Red Son said as he held a strong gauntlet he created for the moment, to prove that HE is strong enough to lift the staff of the great Monkey King, all the bullbot's watching as he tried to demonstrate his true potential. "Let ME lift the staff mother! With my NEWEST invention, I, Red Son, son of the great Demon Bull King-" his mother cut him off, "Just lift it up son, surly this mountain SHOULD be the sealing away of my husband!" Princess Iron Fan said with annoyance. Red Son sighed from being ruined in the moment by his mother and rolling his eyes, "Yes, Mother..." he says in an obeying tone towards his mother as he approached the mountain, the bullbots watching as he went, seeing what will happen next. Red Son approached the staff, amazed by the glow it had as it shined under the little ray of sunlight that poked through the ceiling, he aggressively snatched it with the gauntlet, smiling evilly and with determination.

[Meanwhile]
MK on the other hand, was coming home from getting lunch, of course, noodles. He walked through the streets, watching the people as they went by and heading home from a stressful day at work, "Finally! Home and with these DELICIOUS noodles to make it even better! How can my day get any better-" than without notice, a small bird came out of nowhere and came into his face, "AHH!! A bird!!!" The boy screamed, backing away for room away from the bird and slipped into a small crack in the street, falling through, he screamed loudly, desperately holding onto the edge with all his grip, the bag of noodles in his other hand, the bird landed on his hand and stared at him.

"H-Huh...?!" The boy asked I'm confusion, the bird flicked it's head to the side, and pecked his hand with it's beak, MK gasped, shaking his head desperately trying to tell the bird to leave him alone. "N-No! No! Go away!!! Don't you dare..!!" he shouted, silence, but the bird did exact opposite, pecking at his hand more and more, until MK completely lost his grip and fell into the deep of the city, landing on his face flat and groaning in pain from the fall. "Uuuugh....." the boy groaned more, getting up and still holding his noodles that was still safe from the fall, he sighed in relief that his lunch wasn't damaged, and looked around. Then he heard the voice of Red Son screaming and yelling and heard the army of bots moving around and watching the redhead, MK squealed in fear and shock and hid out of sight, watching from a corner on a pile of rocks above the hothead. Red Son was breathing heavily and panting from the amounts of attempts to lifting the staff, but he didn't stop, "UGH!!! I've had enough of this!!" The boy yelled, snatching the staff and starting using all his power to lift it, he began to scream from the strength he wasted and wasted on the staff, screaming even louder, flames bursting and gulf from his eyes and hair, making a bright flaming light flow through the caves and deep darkness of the deep, MK watched and gasped from the sight but slipped a bit from around the corner and fell onto a pipe struggling to hang on any longer, "RRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAGGGH!!!!" Screamed Red Son, then with one more pull, the staff had finally gotten free from the ground, Princess Iron Fan was pleased and smiled, laughing and clapping from the prison that her husband was in finally being broken free. "YES!!! I DID IT!!!" Red Son yelled, smiling with pride and holding the staff up in the air with victory, the bullbots clapped and cheered.

MK gasped from the sight of the staff, he new who's staff it was, it was his number one hero, Monkey King, the one hero that's been told through stories and tales for generations, finally seeing his staff in person was surely a great sight for him. With excitement, the boy accidentally slipped again, yelping and then immediately covering his mouth from making the sound, trying to stay silent. After a long while of waiting Red Son looked at the staff in impatience and shook it a few with anger. "UGH!!! Why isn't anything happening?!! Mother...are you SURE that this was the right mountain?!" He asked his mother with irritation. "Why of course Red Son, this is the mountain that my husband was sealed in!" His mother said sarcastically, Red Som grumbling as he walked over to her, then as when nothing was happening, a loud rumble was heard and the ground shook violently, then when Red Son and his mother looked at each other, a big green bright light shot out from the giant crack in the ground and something started to arise from the abyss of the mountain. "HeheheheheheHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!! Rise father, RISE!!! AWAKEN FROM YOUR PRISON!! HA! HA! HA! HAAA!!!" The redhead screamed as DBK was rising out the ground, steam flowing from his nostrils and a low growl was heard, bullbots flying everywhere and Princess Iron Fan chuckling with pleasance. MK gasped and was shock, his jaw down and his eyes widened, shocked by what was happening, but he thought, how the HECK is he going to get out this mess, just how? But when he was thinking the bird appeared again, and just sat there, MK looked up and saw the bird and shooed at it to go away, but only for it to pluck and peck at his hand again, but just when MK could do anything he slipped and fell screaming.

Red Son smiled, pleasant to see his father again and Iron Fan happy to see her husband once again. "Darling, I'm so happy that I broke you out of that priso-" Red Son interrupted, "ACTUALLY it was I who set you free father! Now we, the demon bull king family, can REIGN our destruction and true darkness across the city ONCE AGAIN!!! HAHAHAHAHA-" but then Red Son was cut off by sudden screaming from above, he looked up and the next thing he saw was the face of a scared MK. "WHAT THE?!-"
