"Sparring? I don't think its a good idea.." MK says worried, "Why can't i just spar with you? You're like, my mentor??"
"Yeahh, but It's good to have a change in pace. Can't get better without facing different challenges kid." Monkey king says.
"But-"
"Its fine MK, you scared you're gonna lose?" Zhara lightly taunts.
"No!" Mk says in a jokingly defensive way, "I've been trained by the, Monkey King! So I think I'd beat your butt!" He crosses his arms smiling.
"Welll... I think sleepy is a better mentor than Monkey king!"
"How? All he does is sleep!"
Sleepy chimes in, "Nuh uh, I am a better mentor than Wukong! Also I don't sleep all the tome, I just wake up late!"
Zhara smiles looking at Sleepy, "Very.. late."
"Well.. if you guys wanna see whos a better mentor, get to it!" Wukong encourages.
"Fine, we will! Ready, Zhara?" He looks to his sister. Zhara takes a huge jump back, "Ready!" She shouts back waving. MK quickly looks to sleepy, "Hey, how did you teach her that??" He whispers, sleepy shrugs. He looks back to Zhara, "I don't think I'll use my staff!" He yells to zhara.
"Use it! I can use this!" She yells back taking out a reformed scythe but very dull, as if it was a toy.
"So.. COOL! Thats what your gem is for?" MK shouts amazed.
"Yeah! I think so!" She shouts back.
"Just start already!! I wanna see who wins!!" Sleepy shouts annoyed.
"Alright, let's do this for real," Zhara said, suddenly appearing more focused, MK nods as if he heard her from their distance. She spun her scythe around, warming up for the fight.
The two charged towards each other, their weapons clashing loudly. Both giggling as they take steps back from the contact. The two circled each other, looking for an opening. Zhara took the initiative and lunged forward, her scythe slashing towards MK. He quickly dodged to the side, but Zhara was quick to follow up with a swift yet weak kick, not sending him too far. Still on his feet,
"Sorry was that too much!" She shouts,
"No, I'm good!" Mk replies.
MK quickly takes advantage of his sisters distraction, aiming for her legs to make her fall. Zhara quickly steps on the staff with one foot, stopping it. As she tries to bonk him on the head with her dull scythe, she looses her balance on the staff and it ends up hitting her other foot, knocking her over, Zhara lands on her butt. She quickly jumps back up, creating distance between her n her brother.
"That really hurt, ya'know?" She whines.
As MK starts to plummet down with the staff, Zhara feels her foot trapped. A faint familiar blue chain on her ankle stuck to the ground, she looks up panicked.
"MK! Wait! Hold on!" She yells jabbing the chain with her scythe.
The two demons that were chatting, noticing too late of what was gonna happen.
Striked in her chest with such impact, Zhara drops holding herself. She scrambles to her feet, her scythe back but sharper. One hand grasping her bleeding chest and the other holding the scythe in a staggering defensive state.
Her vision overlapping a memory, as MK- no Monkey king approach her. She properly holds her staff, her other hand letting go of the throbbing pain of her chest. "Sis.. calm down! We're not fighting anymore." She looks at him confused, all sweaty and bloody.
"Stay back wukong, don't try that shit with me." She sneers, taking a shaky yet quick step back. Wukong stops in his track,a look of worried and sadness washed in his face. Another one pops up, a clone supposedly. This one lunges at Zhara, she kicks the 'clone' back also stumbling back abit.
It doesn't go too far back,
"Listen, kid whatever you're seeing at the moment you're just hallucinating. Calm down."
Hearing this she waivers, then frowns. Despite being injured, she lunged towards the 'clone' in such speed swinging her scythe at him.

Wukong jumps back grabbing MK, He looks to the shocked Sleepy.
"I didn't mean too!" MK sobs,
"No, I know you didn't theres some foul play going on." His mentor growls.
"Okay, but what are we gonna do about Zhara? She's not calming down.. and shes injured." Sleepy says worried. Wukong doesn't respond supposedly not knowing what to do. Sleepy thinks (for once), "What did you do last time, that fight you know? Was it the same?"
Wukong slowly nods, "It was, but she didn't stop fighting till she collapsed. So.. we gotta tire her out."
Sleepy nods, "Sit this out MK."
"Yeah kid, remember this wasn't your fault" Wukong says before the two run towards Zhara.
"You too, Sleepy?" She growls. Sleepy and Wukong approach cautiously, Zhara swings her scythe around. Wukong lunges forward, trying to catch Zhara off guard, but she is quick to react, parrying his attack with her staff. Sleepy looks for an opening. Zhara notices narrowing her eyes at the sight of him. She backs up, still holding her scythe tightly, her eyes darting between Wukong and Sleepy.
"Zhara, calm down! We're not here to fight you," Sleepy calls out.
"I know what you're trying to do and its not, gonna work." Zhara replies, keeping her guard up.
"Whatever you're thinking, its not true. We just want to help you," Wukong says, trying to reason with her.
Zhara scoffs, "Are you guys actually trying to talk to me? Thats funny."
Sleepy steps forward, "C'mon rocky, lets just chillout."
Zhara hesitates for a moment, and that's when Wukong sees his chance. He charges forward. Zhara is quick to react, but due to her injuries he is too fast for her. He manages to land a hit on her shoulder, and she stumbles back.
Sleepy rushes in, trying to follow up on Wukong's attack, but Zhara is ready for him. She dodges his attack and counters with a swift jab with her scythe to his stomach, sending him reeling back. Wukong moves in again, but Zhara is already on the defensive. She blocks his attack and hits with a quick strike to his side. Wukong grunts, while sleepy also moves back into the action.
Stupid losers bru ongoddy
The three of them continue fighting, sleepy and wukongs movements fast and fluid while Zhara is getting sluggish.Still, striking back whenever she gets the chance. Starting to struggle to dodge the twos attacks. Sleepy takes advantage of this and starts to press forward, taking out his sword striking hers with a series of rapid blows.
Zhara tries to block his attacks, but her movements becoming sluggish. She ends up stumbling back and falls to one knee, panting heavily. The two walk up to her,
watching her for any more sudden attacks. Zhara pants heavily, her arms struggling to hold herself up on her knee. Wukong speaks up, concern etched in his voice, "Zhara, please calm down. We don't want to hurt you." She lowers her head, she grips her scythe mustering up her last bit of energy for one final attack. She lunges forward, swinging her scythe in a wild arc. Wukong dodges, but Sleepy is caught off-guard and is hit in the shoulder wincing in pain, In response, Wukong rushes forward, taking advantage of Zhara's exhaustion. He quickly jabs her in the side with the hilt of his staff, causing her to collapse to the ground. The two of them stand there, breathing heavily and looking at Zhara unconscious . Wukong turns to Sleepy, "Are you okay?" The sea demon nods, "Yeah, I'll be fine. What do we do now? It wont be good if we leave her like that." He says worried. Wukong is silent, squinting at the wound. "I think its already closing up..?"
The fish demon sighs, then turning to the upset MK who's been watching from afar.
"I feel so bad.. I don't know what to say to him." Sleepy whispers to wukong.
"Me neither.. and it's not his fault either." Wukong furrows his brows. "I have to leave tomorrow." He continued.
"What? Are you serious? You can't just leave tomorrow, after what happened!" Sleepy says infuriated. "What about that lady, are you gonna leave it to MK?" He mutters angrily to Wukong, not wanting the kid to hear. Wukong looks at sleepy before walking over to MK, leaving sleepy frustrated.
The sea demon looks back at his unconscious friend, his frustration turning into exhaustion. He picks up the girl, also walking towards the two. Instantly hes questioned by the boy who's been worried about his older sister.
"I swear I didn't mean to hurt her like that!" He says through tears, "I couldn't move away or stop it, I swear!"
"We know kid, and we're gonna figure out whats going on. For now, she'll be alright. For some reason whatever happened there, is already patching itself up." Wukong puts his hand on MK's shoulder, "Your sis just needs rest."
MK looks at him as if he had another question, but before he can ask wukong walks away.
"Come on, MK lets get to your apartment." Sleepy says behind MK, MK nods.
