"Give me back my body!" Lydia rushes the blue silhouette, bringing her arm back ready to punch it. The silhouette puts its arms up, struggling for control against the female half demon, half celestial maiden. "I don't understand! Why me?!? Why not any other normal person?!?"
The lady bone demon's voice sounds from the silhouette. "Oh my poor child, you still don't know do you?" Lydia grits her teeth. "What don't I know?!?" The lady bone demon chuckles. "That your father is the legendary red shadow demon, of course. He used to be one of my allies before he was imprisoned. It is your destiny to help me, if you like it or not!"
"That can't be true! I'm not evil unlike you!" The lady bone demon chuckles again. "You will learn in due time. But for now, I'll free you." Lydia has a confused look on her face. "
What? But why?"
"You can't unlock your full potential if others are holding you back. Keep that in mind child."
And just like that the silhouette disappears leaving only Lydia behind. The darkness slowly disappears as she awakens on the street in front of Pigsy's noodle shop. "LYDIA, YOU'RE AWAKE!!!" MK dressed in a bath robe with messy hair and very noticeable bags under his eyes runs up and hugs her. "MK? What happened?"
"I'M NOT SURE, EVERYONE IS ASLEEP AND MONKEY KING IS GONE AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO." MK starts freaking out and hyperventilating.
"Woah, Woah! Take a deep breath!" She takes a deep breath and MK copies her, they continue their deep breathing until MK is calmer. "Now tell me what happened."
"Monkey King left on vacation and now everybody is asleep and I have no idea why!" Just then his phone rings. "Ugh, who is calling me." He takes out his phone. "It's just some game!" He reads the title aloud "Sleep Bug...?" He gasps and grabs Lydia by her shoulders. "What if this is somehow connected?"
"Wait you're right! I remember opening that game before I fell asleep! The game is making people fall asleep!"
"We have to delete that game! And the games are stored at the... uh... THE CLOUD!"
"You go do that, I have some stuff I need to figure out."
"You sure?"
"Positive. Good luck MK" She walks away to her uncle's dojo.

"Where'd Redson go?"
"Family emergency. You feeling better?"
"Much better. I actually got all my memories back."
"You don't seem too happy about it, what's up?"
"Do you know the shadow demon?" Macaque chuckles. "That's a name I haven't heard in a long time. What brings it up?"
"He's my...father." Macaque stops chuckling and stands still for a moment. "Uncle?" Macaque sighs. "I suppose you'd find out sooner or later..."
"Can you tell me more about him?"
"He used to be my mentor, taught me everything I know. He then turned to the side of the lady bone demon and I followed. I'm not proud of it but without him you wouldn't be alive, of course he created you but he also introduced me to the lady bone demon... without her you would still be dead..."
"Do you think I'm going to turn out like them?"
"You might have his blood but you also have your mother's heart. Li jing was one of the sweetest women I had ever met. She had compassion for every living and non living thing in the universe, you remind me of her." Macaque reassuringly places his hand on her shoulder. "You are not your father, you create your own path in life. I believe you will accomplish great things..."
