Warning: Violence

The start of the end of Season 1
I also added MK and Ming's theme :]


As it turns out, the two ended up staying for a week with the simian husbands, MK insisting on helping Macaque recover, as the event had drained a lot of his energy. Once the Shadow King was well enough to get out of bed, the two were sent off back to the city, the tanned simian not wanting the teen's friends to worry about how long he was away.

Ming's head rested on MK's side, as the boy drove them both to Wàn Qiān Chéng in his Noodle Cart, the little simian having fallen asleep halfway through the drive. They came to a stop in front of the shop, the teen gently placed Ming into his arms, humming a soothing lullaby. 

However when MK turned around, an army of glowing blue and twitching Bull Clones greeted them, all snarling sinisterly at the now pale teen. They slammed down onto the floor, letting out terrifying shrieks, which jolted the sleeping monkey child awake. Said child let out a tiny yawn, rubbing sleep from her eyes, and looking around in half-asleep confusion. 

The group of corrupted clones lunged at the duo, MK frantically reaching for the staff, as Ming let out a squeak of terror. Only for a burst of familiar electric green energy, to slam into the army, completely decimating them all. The sound of a roaring engine made the siblings turn, right as Pigsy's food truck pulled up, and the gang climbed out.

Mei was the first to notice the two, bolting over and tackling them into a hug, crying out in relief, "Thank the gods you're here!!"

"M-Mei?! Guys?!" The male teen sputtered out in confusion, with Ming squeaking protest, being suffocated in between the two. "What's going on? What's with all the clones acting so strangely?"

As the Dragon Girl let MK and Ming go, she gave them both a frown, "After you left-"

"Ahem~" Tang smirked, siding up next to Mei, a smirk on his face. "If you'll allow me~"

Mei groans, rolling her eyes in exasperation, "Go ahead, Mr. Tang."

"Well. After you left, the Bull Clones attacked," Tang said, the line sounding similar to one Ming heard, in a TV show she'd watched with MK and Mei. "But they were more powerful than before. We believe it's all tied back, to the Demon Bull King himself....he's conquered everything."

"Why didn't you call me? I could've helped!" The boy cried, tearing up from the guilt, that he wasn't there to help.

"It's not your fault MK," Pigsy gave the male teen's shoulder a gentle squeeze, as a way to comfort the younger male. "When this all started, any means of communication were cut off, and the way out of the city was blocked off. We couldn't' tell you, even if we tried."

"You're here now little man," Sandy smiled comfortingly down at MK. "Which means we can beat him...together!"

"Yeah!~" The gang cheered.

"Hate to be a downer and all," Tang spoke up, pointing over to the obvious flaw in their plan, everyone looking to where he was motioning to. "But what about the baby monkey? Hmm?"

Oh right, Ming was there.

"I've got this!~" Mei smirked, taking a spare cloth from the back of the Food Truck, and using it as a makeshift sling, attaching the little she-monkey to MK's back. "Ta-da!~ Ming-sling!~"

The disguised simian giggled, "MK carrier!~"

The gang laughed at her enthusiasm, before the male teen adopted a determined look, "Now all that's left is to fight DBK...So, where is he?"

"We're unsure," Sandy frowned, before he turned and pointed to a far off point in the city, an area which had been abandoned for a long time. "But we've been hearing some pretty scary noises from over there."

"Then that's where we're going!" MK exclaimed in determination.

Everyone nodded, climbing into the truck, with Ming tucked securely into her brother's lap, as they sped off in the direction of the noises.

^(#`∀')_Ψ・・・・・・†_(゚ー゚*)β

The group came to a stop in front of a large wall of rock, the symbol of the Demon Bull Family carved into the center, glowing an eerie red color. Lighting flashed overhead, most likely caused by the strange magical energy, as there wasn't a cloud in the sky.

"So, what's the plan?" The water spirit asked, everyone turning to MK, who tensed up under their gazes.

Taking deep breaths to ground himself, the boy thought back to his lessons with his mentors--no--his dads, and formed a plan.

"There's obviously going to be lots of clones waiting for us inside, so not everyone is going to get inside, some will have to stay behind and fight," The male hummed out, the others nodding in agreement.

"I'll stay behind," Pigsy volunteered.

"Me too," Sandy and Tang spoke up, hands raised.

"Then I guess it's you and me, going in and fighting!~" Mei smirked, slinging an arm around her male friend's shoulder, who laughed in response.

"Let's do this!~" MK gave a confident smirk.

Mei used her sword to blast a hole through the front entrance, allowing the truck to drive straight through. Almost immediately a Bull Clone truck came speeding out, slamming into the side of the hero's vehicle, but a few quick maneuvers from Pigsy and the managed to loose the opposing truck.

Sandy hopped out of the truck, the two teens clinging onto his back, as the water spirit ran towards the entrance to the throne room, which was a massive sinkhole. Picking up the duo in one arm, Sandy threw them towards the hole, both hovering over it with a confident smirk.

That's when a giggle caught their attention, and the two looked to where Ming was still strapped to MK's back....


THEY'D FORGOTTEN MING WAS THERE!!



Both paled, but it was too late to do anything, as they were falling down the hole. Mei took the siblings in one arm, and twirled her sword in the other, driving it into the rocky side, stopping their decent. Leaving them, quite literally, hanging.
