Monkie Kid || Vol. 1||

Sandy the Water Ogre

As the dull siblings were watching their father destroy the city, MK and his friends all groaned as they were crowded in Pigsy food truck. "Too tight!" MK complained as he fought for the front seat between Tang and Mei. Pigsy was also having some issues driving the van as MK trying to smuggle his way to the front caused some distraction. "Pigsy! Watch where you're going!" Tang yelled as everyone was finally situated. Ash was sitting in the back while Tang was standing between the two front seats. He, of course, had to set his hand against the console so that he was balanced whilst Mei and MK shared the passenger's seat. "You're going to kill us!" Tang said in fear as he looked at Pigsy. Ash groaned in annoyance from the back as she looked over at Tang.

"Dad! Don't distract Baba when he's driving!" Ash said, only to be ignored like usual. She rolled her eyes and looked back at her battle axe. Tang and Pigsy allowed her to bring it as long as she only meant to use it for protection. What else was she gonna use it for? Target practice? MK's isn't dumb enough to sit still and hold an apple on his head for that. Ash stood her thoughts and held her chin in thought. "Or is he?" Ash asked herself. But back at the front of the, Mei yelled to get Tang and MK's attention. They were trying to tell Pigsy they had to go to this mountain called "Flower Fruit Mountain", for it was rumored to be where Monkie King was hiding at.

"Guys! Demon Bull King's moved on to downtown! He's destroying the cheese-tea stalls!" Mei yelled out as she held up her phone for the others to see. "All the more reason to get this staff to Monkie King, Flower Fruit Mountain. It's the only place he could be, right Mr. Tang?" MK asked as Pigsy zoomed through the city. Tang hummed as he pushed his glasses up and looking down at the ground. Mei was snoring as she knew Tang was going into his teacher/scholar mode while MK's eyes shone bright. "Indeed. However, Flower Fruit Mountain in hidden away. Deep in dangerous and unknown territory. " Tang said in a serious tone as his face was dark. "So I guess we better turn back." Tang said, his face full of fear that was held together by a smile. Ash smacked her forehead as MK and Mei yelled their disagreements at Tang, who was now laughing nervously as pulling at his scarf.

"Shut it you big baby." Pigsy grunted as he shoved Tang down so he'd sit on the ground. "I know a guy who can take use there. The most dangerous, deadly, rage filled warrior I've ever known." Pigsy said as his face got dark. Ash got up from where she was, spun her axe so it would latch onto her back and walked up. Once she had a grip on the chairs, Pigsy slammed his foot on the brake and spun the wheel as fast as he could. Once he pulled the drift off perfectly, Pigsy looked up and stared at the giant ship that remained at the docks.

"Sandy...." Pigsy said in a dark tone, Ash shivered at the idea. She's met Sandy before, it was back when she first got use to the idea of staying with Pigsy and Tang after she ran away. Boy was Sandy ruthless, but he did have a heart. Once everyone was inside the boat and explained the situation to Sandy, the five were still shaking as they awaited Sandy's answer. Sandy threw a knife down, it landed on the counter near the sink. "That's a lot to take in." Sandy said as he stood up, revealing his humongous height. "You what I do to people who disrupt the peace?" Sandy asked with narrowed eyes, the shadows from the curtains hiding most of his physical features.

Sandy then stepped back and grabbed something, Ash grabbed the hilt of her axe and got ready to attack if it was needed. But she stood upon seeing a cat hop onto his shoulder and waited. "Serve 'em tea!" Sandy said, a bright smile now on his face. Sandy revealed to be a giant water ogre with bright orange hair, it being shaped in a mohawk and a big beard. He wore no shirt but wore a pair of white sweats with a black line going down it's side. The cat seemed to have similar features to Sandy as it had a orange mohawk, orange stripes on its sides. It had a white belly and mouth but the rest was white while he wore a red spiked collar.

Something Ash found interesting was the red-violet orb necklace that Sandy wore. Everyone was put to ease, Pigsy was more confused, as Sandy offered tea. "Oh, yes!" Tang said as he raised his hand, Ash sighed in relief as Sandy came up to her side. "Why not." She said with a tired smile, Sandy chuckled and pat Ash's head. "That's the Ashley I know." Sandy said with a grin as he poured her a cup and gave it to Ash to drink. Pigsy sat in confusion as Tang came over to him. "Certain noodle shop owners could learn a lot from your hospitality, Sandy." Tang said with a knowing smile. Mei sighed as she came closer to Pigsy. "Your right Piggy, he's dangerous." Mei said nervously, Pigsy's eye twitched as his friends kept rubbing it in his face. "He'll kill us with cuteness!" Mei said with a smile as she placed one of the many cats onto Pigsy's head. 

"Huh, so that's what those lumps were." Ash said under her breath as she noticed the entire room had several cats in it. "It's my own blend of anti-stress fruits. It really brings the heart rate down." Sandy said before Pigsy yelled out in annoyance. "Oh boy, here we go." Ash mumbled before taking a sip of her tea. "Sandy, what happened to you?" Pigsy said, some cats ran off as they sensed his anger. "Where's the angry, glass chewing, fist throwing buddy I use to know?!" Pigsy yelled as he got up into Sandy's face and grabbed Sandy's necklace. Pigsy's face got redder and redder with each word he spoke. Sandy didn't much effort to pinch the back of Pigsy's shirt and slowly put the swine onto the ground, a smile still on Sandy's face.

"Well, my therapist said I really needed to calm down." Sandy said as he gave Pigsy's head a few pats. "That's why I started drinking tea. Doing yoga, investing in therapy cats. Really helps." Sandy said as he list off the things that helped reduce his anger. He didn't see his signature cat jump up to him until that cat meowed, Sandy then caught Mo and both rubbed against the other in affection. "Oh, don't you Mo?" Sandy asked as Ash looked at Pigsy, who was now laying on the ground while hugging himself. Mei wasn't too concerned as she was on her phone, checking to see what else had gone wrong.  Tang was only looking at Pigsy like the pig demon was throwing a silent tantrum while MK was looking at Sandy.

"Uh Mister Sandy, sir?" Mei said as she sat in front of Sandy, using her puppy eyes and baby voice to it's full effect. "We could really use your help. We gotta get  to get to Fwower Fruit Mountain." Mei said, MK jumped next to his friend and used his puppy eyes and baby voice the best he could "Pwease? The fate of the world is at stake." MK begged, both remained silent as Sandy looked down at them. "Okay." Sandy said, almost like the idea didn't even bother him at all. "Really?" MK asked as both he and Mei's face was confused, thinking they probably didn't need to do what they did to convince Sandy. "Anything for Pigsy. I can get you there, but it ain't a pleasant trip." Sandy warned as Mei and MK turned to each other in joy, they even began to run around the living while Ash chuckled to herself.

 Tang remained still as he waited for the next thing to happen. Pigsy was just a little annoyed that he was wrong about his friend. "Alright, let's get moving. But I'm telling you now, friend." Sandy said as he turned to Pigsy with a frown. "If things get hairy, I've changed. I don't go around picking fight no more." Pigsy only sighed in defeat as Ash stood up. "It's cool, I'm sure it'll fine so long I have this." Ash said with a smirk, doing her signature move and spinning the axe once it was in her hand.
