•Chapter 9• {|Invasion|}

The people were screaming, bull bots invading every shop and destroying the town, leaving nothing but ruin and ablaze, Red Son was on the shoulder of DBK and his mother, Princess Iron Fan in the arm of her bull husband, laughing and being pleased with the destruction that was forming around them with every step they took on the town. "MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! FOOLS!!! Run, run you puny peasants!! HAHAHA!!!" Screaming Red Son, laughing evilly from the success of the invasion of the town and his mother joined in, "My dear...let's not get too excited, the destruction of this city has only begun, let's save the laughs for the FULL takeover.." said Princess Iron Fan, Red Son smiling with glee and evil as he nodded. "The city is OURS!! THE DEMON BULL KING FAMILY WILL WIN!!! Hahahahaaaa!!!" Screaming Red Son again as he laughed, his father laughing with him, smiling and feeling free from his prison and ready to finally have his victory. Meanwhile, Li Mei was panicking as Kenji was getting ready to take down the family of the Demon Bull King, and stop this nightmare before it starts. "Grandpa! You can't go out there! You might get hurt! Your too old to fight..!" Shouted Li Mei with worry, "Who said I was...TOO old..I'm only 84, but still...this demon must be taken down..since he has returned..something or someone must've taken the staff of the Monkey King to set him free..but who.." whispered Kenji under his breath, full of determination of stopping the awaken demon. Li Mei begged and begged for him not to go out there, but he didn't listen, leaving Li Mei inside before leaving and running to the city. "GRANDPA!!!" She screamed, trying to break through the door to get it open to go after Kenji but only to no avail.

"Grandpa wait!!! You'll get hurt!!!" She screamed again, barging at the door, struggling to get out to warn her grandfather. She growled with frustration and opened one of the windows and fell outside on the porch, grunting, she got up and ran down after Kenji to the destroying city, Kenji was almost at the city, making it there and looking around only to see destruction and chaos in his path, people running away from danger and screaming while bull bots chased and terrorized them at every corner, flames and ablaze lit the city, buildings destroyed and people trying to escape from the sight the Demon Bull King. Kenji then saw a woman and her child cornered and about to be attacked by a pack of bull bots, ready to attack them, Kenji sprinted to the alley where they were and sliced a bull bots head off with his stick, knocking the brains out the other, kicking and breaking the other, then the other, and then the last, the woman smiled with relief and had tears of joy in her eyes. "T-Thank you sir! You saved me and my baby..! Thank you..!" Shouted the women, Kenji smiling and holding his stick in his grasp, "Your welcome my lady..now..I have to find a way to get you all to safety and stop this!" Kenji yelled back, the woman told him that there was a small shortcut that exits the city completely, if they make it, then Kenji would get everyone out to safety. Kenji had gotten an idea and nodded, picking up the woman and child with the last of his strength and sprinting out to the nearest exit of the city, avoiding destruction and bull bots that tries to stop him.

[Meanwhile]
"Grandpaaa!!!" Li Mei screamed once more, running into the city to find her grandfather, and trying to avoid the bots and ruin of the chaos around her. She searched around the city for more survivors, then she saw a man in his broken down shop cart hiding from the sight of the bots, Li Mei gasped and got into the shop cart. "Sir..! Are you ok..?!" Li Mei asked with worry, the man screaming and backing away. "S-Stay back! Don't hurt me..! Plz..!" The man yelped in fear and shock. Li Mei sighed and grabbed the man and got up out the shopping cart and sprinted to the nearest exits of the city, the man begging her to put him down, until they ran into a bull bot. "AHH!!!" The man screamed, Li Mei soon yelled after, running past the bot and sprinting close to the exit. Then a GIANT blaze of flames flew past them out of an alley, only to see a figure coming out of it after. Hair red and flames as his fists, a red cloak flowing in the wind. Li Mei flinched and backed away, the man yelping with fear and hid behind Li Mei. "Well...Well...Well..it seems I have found new PEASANTS to target! Hehehehe.." chuckled the red head. Li Mei backed away more, a bit scared of the angry ticking time bomb in front of her, Red Son then spoke, "What's wrong peasant?! Never seen a demon before? Hahahaha! Pathetic...and I thought that my day couldn't get ANY better!!!" His flames growing brighter and more fierce. "W-Who are you..?!" Li Mei shouted, Red Son laughed and kept his bold demeanor, "Why I'm Red Son!, Prince of the Demon Bull King, the master of FLAMES, And the NEW ruler of you PATHETIC peasants!!" The redhead screamed once again, his hair turning into flames and his laughing more loud and amused at the trembling two in front of him. Li Mei was starting to get more annoyed than afraid, but still was anxious about the boy, trying to act brave. "Can you stop calling us peasants..??? We get it, your the prince of the Demon Bull King and your here to destroy our town.." she said in a bored tone, making Red Son flinch and growl at the girl, "HUSH monkey girl!!! I'm having MY moment and your ruining it!" He shouted at her, ready to attack, but when she was about to back away and run, she saw Kenji sprint out an alley and run with some survivors. She thought that she should distract the redhead, so she didn't run.

"Uhhh...listen, maybe we got off on the wrong foot! Yeah! Your a scary prince of whoever this Demon Bull King person is..aaaaand...wait, ooo! I like your hair!" She said with a fake smile and supporting attitude. Red Son flinched back in confusion and looking puzzled and annoyed, "Wait What??" The man behind Li Mei begged her to run away from the boy, but she reassured him that she had a plan. "Oh uhm...fire boy-" Li Mei said mispronouncing his name, but was cut off by an angry tone of the boy. "It's Red Son, NOT fire boy!!" Red Son yelled back, sounding irritated and even more frustrated. "S-Sorry..uhhh..Red Son..maybe we could join your little reign of destruction and chaos!" Li Mei said as a little drop of sweat dripped down her face as she smiled nervously. Red Son thought for a moment, "Hmm...well, since you all are going to soon be the workers and slaves of the Demon Bull King family! I guess I could take you two in and claim you two as our prisoners!" Red Sod said, Li Mei saw that he was distracted by his blabbering and sneaked past him while he wasn't noticing and sprinted away to Kenji when she got far enough away, leaving Red Son to only talk to himself. "And then you all will finally see the wrath of THE BULL KING FAMIL-" Red Son opened his eyes and realized that the two was gone, he gasped and growled, "WHAT?! they LEFT?! How dare they!!!! THOSE LITTLE PEASANTS!!! RRRRRRRAAAAAUGH!!!" Red Som screamed with immense rage and fury, his hair, eyes and hands engulfed in flames as he screamed. Meanwhile, Li Mei was trying to find Kenji as she ran, still having the man on her back as she sprinted as fast as she could, desperate to find a way out of the big city and to safety and to her grandfather. "Grandpa!!!" She called, screaming for her grandfather more and more, starting to worry and panic, she stopped and looked around to find him hut only to no avail, "n-no...Kenji! Grandpa! Where are you!!!?" She screamed, tears staring to well up her eyes as she looked for him. Then heard Kenji screaming from afar off, Li Mei gasped and quickly ran to the direction but saw bullbots everywhere but she didn't care, she zoomed past 2 bots and then 3, kicking and punching a few out the way, making a large mob of the bots go after her. "Uhhh!! Where are you going!! We have to get away!! They're onto us!!!" the man asked in panic, Li Mei didn't respond, her being too determined to find Kenji, then she saw Kenji around the corner, surrounded by bullbots, his stick broken in half and him looking weakened and being held down and attacked by the bots, Li Mei then started to feel enraged by this and she put the man down where the bots couldn't see him. She grabbed Kenji's stick and used her dark blue ribbon to wrap it back in one piece tightly, then she felt like fighting..for real. "HEY YOU BUNCH OF BOLTS!!! LEAVE MY GRANDPA ALONE!!!" She screamed, alerting  Kenji and the bullbots, Kenji gasped at seeing her and looked scared for her then he shouted, "L-Li Mei..!!! No! You'll get hurt! Don't do this! I told you to stay home!!!" Kenji yelled at the girl, but she ignored him.

Then she finally spoke. "You protected me for so long grandpa...now, it's my turn to protect you..." with that, she held the stick tightly in her grasp and had the expression of determination and anger on her face, getting into a stance of battle. "LI MEI!! NO!!!" Kenji screamed again, the bull bots facing into her direction, not listening to the old monkey. Then she heard a familiar voice, It was Red Son. "Well, Well, Well...look at the little PEASANT!? Determined to save her puny little grandfather...how touching..hehehe..but sadly, this little family reunion will be canceled! Prepare for the wrath of MY BULLBOT ARMYYYY!!!" The redhead screamed, laughing maniacally as the bots surrounded Li Mei, Kenji being held back from saving her and the look of fear and worry on his face. "Li Mei..." he said in a scared tone, Red Son then made his hands engulf in flames and Li Mei stood her ground. "Now...let's see what you've got monkey girl!!!!"
