The Silent King (Au)

When A Queen Captures Two Kings

Monkey King smirked, feigning a yawn as MK swung at him, "Oh, COME ON! I'm sure I'll get you this ti--"

The king suddenly ducked down, leaping over his student. MK grinned, his teacher had landed in front of a wall of loose rocks; He was cornered! The young hero threw himself forward, wielding the staff as he brought it down.

Monkey King leaped upward, leap-frogging across his student and using his tail to shove him into the wall. The loose soil and rocks rained down, trapping the young man. MK sighed, "Oh, C'MON!! I thought YOU were the one cornered!" Wukong nodded in agreement, then lifted an eyebrow, pointing at MK.

The young hero sighed, "Okay, so you were cornered...but then you moved. You used my moves against me and turned the tables. Clever." He pouted as Wukong helped him up, the monkey was exhaling air with a grin on his face, a soundless laugh.

MK huffed at his mentor's teasing laughter, brushing off dirt before panicking, "OH SHOOT!! I'm supposed to be with my friends for New Year-- Aw, man, Pigsy's gonna kill me!" The boy turned toward Wukong and quirked an eyebrow, "...Where Macaque? Aren't you guys gonna hang out together or something?"

Wukong shook his head, pointing at the city as fireworks rang out, and covering his ears with a mock-pained facial expression.

MK sighed, "Uhm...Too loud?" Wukong nodded, then he made a 'scarf' motion around his neck, momentarily changing his form to look like Macaque before changing back. "Macaque?" Another nod. The king dramatically moved his body to look like he was leaping into the ground and then made a sweeping motion, like flying but just his arm.

"He left...Okay, Macaque left because the city is too loud?"

Wukong made a cheering motion, beaming with pride at his student. MK grinned, "I'm getting so much better at charades! Wait...So you'll be all alone?" The monkey sighed, waving his hand off-handily.

"Monkey King this is a big deal! No one should spend the holidays all alone." Wukong shook his head in amusement, he was about to reassure the young man when a sudden explosion rang out.

MK yelped, "THE CITY!!"

Wukong frowned, scooping up MK and summoning his cloud.

MK yelled in alarm as his Gold Vision revealed hundreds of webs and spiders, climbing over his poor mentor.

Wukong landed on a roof, scooping MK off and looking at him in worry. "UGH-- I HATE spiders! Ohhh, I fought her before and all but this is... ICK!!" The monkey pondered wordlessly and chirped, pointing at himself and then at Spider Queen's mech. He then pointed at MK and made a 'stay' motion.

MK frowned, "Wha... You're going alone? Do you not...trust me..?" Wukong frantically shook his head, clicking his tongue as he made a punching motion at the mech, and then pointed at the spider people and motioned at MK using the same punching motion.

The young hero hesitated, "...You'll beat up the mech and I fight the apocalypse..?" Wukong nodded, then he swooped his hands together, linking the fingers together.

"...Huh?"

Wukong huffed, wrapping his arms around the space around him, acting as if there were people around him. MK gasped, "OH!! My friends, right?" The monkey grinned, nodding.

"It's a plan!"

--

"Monkey King! So good to see you~!"

Wukong stared in confusion at the webs wrapped around his body, blinking up at the demoness. He could've sworn he'd heard a different voice earlier...Either way, the dangerous presence had distracted him and now all he could do was look up as Spider Queen smirked, "Oh, they aren't just any webs..."
