Who Are You Again? {monkie kid fanfiction}

Chapter 0

Cold. Dark. An empty void of shadows surrounds me as I call out into the darkness. "Hello? I-is anyone there? Monkey King? Mei? Pigsy? Teng? Anyone?"
I start to tremble. Where am I? Am I... alone? What happened? Last thing I remember is Demon Bull King... crushing me in his grip. Am I... am I dead? I call out again to the void. No response. I felt hot streaks down my cheeks. No. It couldn't have ended like that. Surely this is all in my head, like the time I summoned tree demon things with my stress. Right?

Was everything a dream?
Monkie King... isn't real. Forget about him. Forget.

Forget.

"MK..?" A voice sobs. A relief rushes into me as I realise I'm not alone. I start to feel a weight on my chest and I feel a warm sensation everywhere on my body except.. my back? It's almost as if I'm on the concrete floor. I stop to think for a second and realise I am. I open my eyes with a struggle and look down at the messy black hair that is lumped on my chest. I let out the best grunt I could. "Mei?"
"MK!!" She cries happily, squeezing me tight. I offer a weak grunt.
"I'm fine, Mei. Must have fell off my hover board again."
Mei offers a weak laugh.
"I'm surprised you didn't immediately blame Red Son."
"Who?" I manage to mutter
"The guy who you totally knocked into next week."
"Mei, I can't fight unless it's a video game." I respond bitterly. She gives me a weird look.
"Kid! Thank goodness you're okay!" I hear a deep and kind of raspy voice say as my boss, Pigsy, runs up to me, crying.
"H..huh? O-oh Pigsy I'm sorry I didn't make it to work today." I stutter, scared for my employments sake.
"Kid, it's fine. I get it, you had hero stuff you needed to do."
"I.. uh.. yeah. Uhm about that I'm not a-"
"Kid!" I hear another person shout. I sit up to see a weird hairy person.
"I.. I'm sorry, but do I know you?"

Everything stopped. I didn't realise silence could be this loud.
"W... what?" The person asks, obviously hurt.

"I'm sorry, but do I know you, sir?" I asked again, sheepishly. I saw his face and he looked really upset. Mei and Pigsy shared a glance.

"Do you.... not... remember me?" He spoke, voice shaking uneasily.
"Should I?" I asked, immediately internally attacking myself for my wording. Whether or not I knew the guy, he didn't seem to want to be pushed away so abruptly... but who the hell even is he?! I don't even know his name!!

I groan, and everything blacks out. I come to in a room with a worried Pigsy next to me, and the strange man asleep at the base of the bed. Pigsy sees I'm awake and sighs in relief.

"Pigsy... who is he?" I ask, referring to the strange man at the end of my bed.
