Monkie Kid: A Hero is Born

The thing you need to understand about old legends is that the story is never finished. There maybe no pages left to turn, but there is always more to the journey. Rising from the Netherworld, the Demon Bull King attacked. No one could stop him, no one could resist. No one except... the legendary Monkey King. The Monkey King used his magical staff to pick up a nearby mountain. He trapped the Demon Bull King underneath it. The Moneky King used his magical staff to pick up a nearby mountain. The Monkey King sealed the mountain with the staff that no other being could wield, trapping the Demon King forever. With the battle won, the Monkey King vanished, never to be seen again. Legend says the staff still lies on top of that mountain, the inevitable thing keeping out world from certain destruction. And with the Demon Bull King gone, civilization was able to advance into the amazing city we now live in. A world of elegant cultures, gentle loving people, a city brimming with five-star cuisine, and all because of the Monkey King.

MK was in awe, "Oh, that's good! Monkey King's so cool! He's so strong and handsome! But um Tang, I've got to ask you something." Tang opened his eyes, "Hmm? What is it?" MK looked to him, "Well, what if um... someone found about the Dangerous NightLight?" Tang hums in thought, "Most likely die or get out alive with some heavy wounds." MK sweatdrops as Tang continued, "Well, remember a dragon will always go for the kill MK." MK nods as Tang cleared his throat, "Anyways, you know the deal: one story, one free bowl of Zha Jiang Mian. Hmm?"

Mk looked confused, "Huh?" MK eyes light up, "Oh right, free noodles! Yep, on it. How heavy do you think a mountain is? Compare to like-" He attempts to grab the bowl but someone throws a spoon at him. Pigsy yelled, "Free noodles?!" He takes the bowl away from MK's reach placing it down somewhere else, "No one gets a Free meal at Pigsy's! I'm not running a charity here, Tang!"

Tang chuckled, "Ah, but Pigsy. I was paying with wisdom." Pigsy glared at him, "Break? Break?! There's no break in war! I need workers. Soldiers in the army of Pigsy's Noodles, home of the world's longest noodles. How else am I gonna expand my business into enemy territory?" MK raised an arm, "Uh, do you mean across the street?" Pigsy huffs, "I stand by my statement! Now, hurry up!" MK quickly leaves as he carried a packaged box of noodles.

Pigsy then notices Tang with a bowl of noodles behind him. He then quickly grabs a spoon and begins to attack Tang with it, "Hey, get back here, you coward!" Meanwhile Tang dodged, "No, Pigsy!" "I want my money!"

MK sweatdrops at them as he leaves into his tuk-tuk. He placed the packaged noodles on the passenger seat as he decided to visit the Dangerous NightLight he saw last night.

He then stops at the same forest and leaves the tuk-tuk heading into the forest. He continued to walk until he saw a hole in the forest and walks to the cliff and sees that it wasn't too deep nor too steep. He then notices some shiny white and black scales on the floor. 'Wow, these scales look pretty,' Thought MK until he gets jumpscared by the NightLight swooping past him. However it falls back down to the ground as it roars.

MK frowns as he took out another notebook, this time it's a book about the Dangerous NightLight. He went to write what they are doing. 'Why can't the NightLight fly away?' Thought MK until he notices something wrong with the wing of the NightLight, 'Oh no.' Until MK panicks as he drops his pencil as the NightLight's ears perk up and turn to him, 'The same mortal from before?' MK chuckles nervously as the NightLight glares at him not trusting him a bit. MK chuckles nervously as he quickly leaves as the NightLight glares at him before deciding to rest inside their made cave.
