A bond between a Monkie and a Hunter ( LMK x TOA crossover )

Unknown demon and boy

" Mk who's that scrawny boy behind you ?"

Wukong tilted his head and stared at his successor who brought a strange boy to training. The boy in general was tugging on Mk's jacket and waved at Wukong.

" Oh ! Um, funny story actually I ran into him when I was chasing down a strange demon that was apparently a troll !"

Mk rubbed the back of his neck and chuckled slightly as he eyed down to Jim.

" A . . . troll ?"

Wukong's interest peeked at this.

" Yeah ! It looked like it was made of stone and had psychic powers since it was throwing stuff at me, and I was getting ready to plum it down ! When Jim hear ran his sword through the troll when it was distracted from me chasing it."

Jim came out of hiding from Mk from behind and waved his amulet infront of Wukong and smiled sheepishly.

" Yeah, sorry I made Mk chase after a problem that was mine."

Wukong was quickly all over the boy, examining him everywhere, just like he did with Mk when the kid ask to take away his ' invincible powers.'

" Hey ! Monkey King ?! Get off Jim !"

Mk was stepping forward until he heard the other young boy laugh.

" Hahaha ! Hey, that tickles !"

Wukong was now playing with Jim's hair, fingers searching for any bugs that are just eating away in the boys head.

Mk sighed and ran his hand on his hair and smiled softly as he looked at Jim who was smiling brightly, It's nice that he's smiling now . . .

The Monkie and the Hunter meet

Mk changes his staff to climb on top to search for the demon, though it didn't really seem like a demon . . . He heard screams and he turned to look down at a block to where the demon was causing havoc across a small town. Mk leaned forward on his staff and launched himself to the demon who was still running.

" Stop right there demon ! For I, Monkie Kid have got you where I want you !"

Mk laughed but it faded as a plant was smashed on his face, though he didn't stop running and removed the remains of the dirt on his face. Oh yeah that's gonna hurt like hell tomorrow. And when Mk removed the remains he saw the demon with red coming out of it's hands as it collects objects and starts throwing them at Mk.

" WHAT—You got psychic powers or something?!?" Mk continued to dodge all of the objects that were thrown at him and he apologized to them as he knows that many people will complain about their missing stuff.

I'm gonna lose the demon at this rate ! I should've asked Mei for help.

Mk was in his deep thoughts until he heard a . . .

' Shing'

Sound . . . That's a sword !

Mk stopped in his tracks as his eyes widened to see the demon being turned into stone as the sword was right through it's body.

The demon was smashed into pieces as the sword was released from it's body. Mk watched without blinking to catch whoever did that as he prepared his defenses, the sun was going down and it felt dark but colorful in the alleyway. The figure slowly came out.

It was a boy. A young one infact.

He had dark hair with soft, light blue eyes, and a super cool glowing armor !

Mk put down his staff as he began to walk towards the boy, it seemed like he was taller than the boy.

The armored boy looked up at Mk and . . . apologized ?

" I'm so sorry ! The troll was my problem and not yours and it caused you so much trouble ! And—! You weren't supposed to see the troll or me—"

The boy continued on with his rambling trying to explain the situation better but all Mk saw was the look on the boys face, so worried, so sad, so uncertain, and so . . . scared.

It reminded him a lot of himself back of where he knew nothing of what wielding the legendary staff of someone he looked up was meant for or what troubles he was going to face with no answers.

Mk lifted his hand and gently placed it on top of the boys head.

" Hey, it's alright no one was hurt and you came right on time to deal with it ! It's not your fault for letting this . . . uh troll run wild or anything I should've paid closer attention also."

Mk ruffled the younger boys head it felt nice to him since he's always the one getting the ruffles from others, it felt like teasing a younger sibling.

The younger boy was silent and Mk heard a sound as he looked to see the armor starting to fade away and an amulet fell and the boy caught it and looked up at Mk, the boy was in tears and hugged the older one.

Mk was startled by the sudden hug as the boy buried his face into the Monkie Kid's chest and clung onto his jacket. The boy cleared his throat and looked down at the floor.

" My—My names James Lake Jr. but you could call me Jim, I apologize again for the inconvenience."

Jim chuckled weakly as he fell to his knees and . . . slept apparently ! It seems like he was chasing the troll all day or something. ( Yes he was.)

Mk also knelt down to hold Jim closely so he doesn't wake up or fall. Oh no ! I forgot I have training with Monkey King ! . . . He wouldn't mind if I brought Jim along would he ? . . . Nah, he'd totally be cool with it !

Mk smiled proudly to himself as he lifted Jim on his back ( piggy back style !) and the young boy leaned his head and relaxed in the position. Mk walked out of the alleyway and made his way to Flower Fruit Mountain not bothering to take the short way with his staff, afraid Jim would fall.

The walk to Flower Fruit Mountain was peaceful as monkeys gathered and were curiously approaching Mk as they see a boy with him, an unknown boy. They all chirped and pulled on Mk's clothes to explain but Mk just gave them a nervous smile and continued to walk towards his Mentors hut to report to training.

I'm the only one who believes that Mk and Jim have a brother like bond with each other, LIKE—they're so similar in ways I could just write whole paragraphs on telling you all ! But that's for another time ! I hope you guys don't mind the sudden change of content and hope to want more of this fanfic !
