It was a normal day, nothing unusual was happening, birds flying around, the flowers blooming brightly, and everyone was going about their day the same as Macaque. Macaque walked through the mountain hoping to see his little monkey friends again and hang out with them, he had prepared some fruit to surprise them. Oh of a sudden 3 demons jump out of a bush. One of the demons seemed to have something in its hand, it was a bottle with a strange purple liquid in it. Without thinking the demon threw the bottle of liquid at Macaque and ran off leaving Macaque by himself. Macaque's body suddenly started feeling odd, there was a sharp pain in his head, and his eyes became fuzzy. Thump! Macaque fell to the floor hitting his head on a rock.

Mk was delivering an order for piggy trying to get it done fast so he can go train with Monkey King. As he just finishes his last order he rushes towards the mountain hoping what kind of training he will have today. Mk stopped as he saw a familiar figure in front of him. It was Macaque, laying on the floor with blood on his head. MK cautiously walks up to Macaque and pokes him, but nothing happens. Not knowing what to do Mk decided to hop Macaque onto his noodle van and take him to Monkey King. Mk arrived and look around for his mentor. Soon Monkey King walks out of his house greeted by Mk. "Monkey King there you are," Mk said while pulling his hand. "Hey kiddo what's up." "I found Macaque on the way here, he seems to have fainted I'm not sure what to do." Mk said as he pulled his mentor toward Macaque's body." SWK was stunned to see his old friend laying there peacefully with blood dripping from his head. Macaque never lets his guard down even when he sleeps. Even the slightest sound movement would be able to wake him up but right now he's laying there peacefully as if nothing would be able to wake him up.  Both Mk and Monkey King now knowing what to do decide to bring Macaque into Monkey King's house and lay him down on his couch. Mk grabbed some bandages from the kitchen and gave them to Wukong. "You want me to do it?" With a disgusted look on his face. "Yes? What kind of question is that? I can't even tend to my injuries." Holding the bandage in front of Wukong. Grabbing the bandage with a groan slowly started wrapping the bandage around Macaque's head until he was done. "Now we just wait until he wakes up I guess. Oh well, You can wait while you get some training done." Sun Wukong said while leading Mk to the door. Before SWK closes the door behind him he turns to look at Macaque feeling annoyed, "What the hell did you get yourself into this now." Before slamming the door.

A few hours passed, and Mk was tired from the new training he had been doing. He lay down on the ground dropping his staff next to him gasping for air. "Well done kid, you're doing better than last time."  Sun Wukong walks up to Mk and squats next to him, giving him a bottle of water. The two watch the sun starts to set and the sky gets darker. "I wonder how Macaque is doing right now." Mk getting up. "Hey kid, why did you bring him here?" Even though Mk didn't like Macaque that much but leaving him alone in the mountain unguarded he felt a bit sorry for him. "I felt bad for him I guess, he was injured." Sun Wukong stood up, crossing his arm, "He would have been fine you know, he already died once. "Let's go check on him." Mk looks over at his mentor. "You can go, I want to stay here a bit longer." Kicking a rock Wukong stood there still feeling annoyed that Macaque is in his house and he would probably have to take responsibility for him now. Mk walked into the house seeing Macaque still sleeping.  There were a couple of small monkeys that made their way into Sun Sukong's home and were either near the Macaque or on top of him.  "He must be really tired" Mk walked closer to Macaque and patted one of the monkeys on the head. "Are you waiting for him to wake up as well?" After a few minutes, Mk looked at the time seeing it was already late and should be heading back now. As he was about to leave Wukong entered and said goodnight to Mk, closing the door behind him after Mk left.

Looking over at the lifeless monkey lying on the couch with his little monkey friend near him, he thought back to when he and Macaque would fall asleep right away after a long day playing around in the mountains. It was a nice memory that was still stuck inside his head. Wukong soon finds himself staring at Macaque. Ugh, what are you thinking Wukong?" Hitting his forehead. He headed toward the kitchen to grab some food and toward his room before closing the door he looked at Macaque one more time and went in. He walked over to a drawer next to his bed pulling the bottom open, there was a small box that contained photos of him and Macaque. One of the pictures was Sun Wukong hugging Macaque while a peach and smiling. The paper had a burn mark on the edge. Back to when Wukong tried to burn all the photos he had with Macaque but couldn't bring himself to do it. Sun Wukong looks at the picture with a tightening pain around his chest.  The longer he stared at the picture a bit of anger started to build up in him. Sun Wukong finally snapped out of his thoughts when he realized he was gripping the paper, almost piercing a hole through it. Wukong put the pictures back into the box and inside the drawer closed it. Slowly laid down on the bed and closed his eyes dozing off to sleep.

"Peach, wake up!" "Huh, what's going on? Sun Wukong slowly opened his eyes to see Macaque. He stood up right away pushing Macaque away. "What are you doing here, you're not allowed to be in my room-" before finishing his sentence he looks up to see a monkey that looks similar to Macaque but younger. Macaque tilted his head looking confused. "Peach are you ok, did you get another fever?" Macaque asks as he puts his hand on SWK's forehead. "No, I'm fine." Wukong slaps Macaque's hand away. "I was just asking god don't need to give me an attitude." Crossing his arm. Wukong stood up looking around, realizing it was the house where he and Macaque grew up.  There were tons of photos and drawings on the wall. A specific photo on the wall caught SWK's attention. As he walked toward it, he realized it was the same photo he had in his drawer. "Why.." SWK realized Macaque was still here, "what?" He turned around and saw a wounded monkey with blood on his right eye and torn clothes. It was no longer the same Macaque from before. "Why did you abandon me..why!" With tears in Macaque's eyes and blood coming out from one eye. He looks at Wukong with pain and hatred. Before Wukong could say anything, he woke up.
