"Monkey King...."

He started with venom and hatred with in his voice.

"He's the reason I'm now stuck back to protecting The Jade Emperor He's the one that stole the one reason I had to not do that lacklustre job.. There is only reason I'm back doing this... and it's all.... Because...... OF MONKEY KING!" He yelled out of the name of the invincible stone monkey as he punched the wall of his palace causing it to crack. He was breathing heavily after he finished trying to contain his anger.

Who was the deity that was so mad The Monkey King, well it was none other than Nezha, The Third Lotus Prince himself. Despite him being loyal to The Jade Emperor, he also hated him, he understood The Jade Emperor's role within the world, but at the same time he did see the point of him, just sitting on his throne within the jade palace. There was a time where he actually did not mind having to protect him from threat such as Azure Lion and his brother thousands of years ago, he thought that the reason the brotherhood gave to seize and overthrow The Jade Emperor was was foolish, but now...

"Perhaps.... Azure Lion might have been right....." He muttered as he finally came to his senses, "But I can not release him from the scroll, the chances of the court finding out is far too risky." He then mentioned in a soft low voice bringing his hand up to his chin using his other hand to support his elbow as if he was thinking. "I'll just have to wait.." He walked up to the window of the Lotus Palace looking out of it "And hope that those two idiots have took it along with all the other celestial artifacts.." He said as he watched the Silver and Gold demons walk out of the celestial realm chuckling to themselves as if they were sneaky masterminds.

Nezha noticed that The Silver and Gold demons, Jin and Yin where causing a commotion in the mortal realm, except they where using the celestial artifacts they stole a few days prior, this was the chance that Nezha needed, if the scroll was in the demon twins possession then the lotus prince could he if the White Horse Dragon Girl and the Monkie Kid who nab it and take it to Wukong's cave of treasures, all he had to do was to be patient for now.

watching those to idiotic demon twins fight was.... One of the least interesting thing he could be doing st the current moment... to say the least but they held no real threat to Mk or Mei, he watched with a straight face only showed slight frustration when he saw that they had his universal ring but other than that he was unimpressed but didn't expect nothing much from those two imbeciles. Having hearing that the Monkie Kid was going to bring it to Sun Wukong in Flower Fruit Mountain, this was his last chance to see, but getting into Monkey Kings cave isn't easy, Nezha is fast yes, but at the same time the getting past the waterfall curtain that protect the Sun Wukong and his monkey friends is no easy feet.

Nezha thought about how he would get through the waterfall curtain, thinking of if he will make it without Mk or Wukong seeing him, he could make the excuse about his universal ring but, he knew that Mk would just asked how he knew it was missing, he could risk suspicion of the Monkey King nor Mk. Nezha soon realised that he was already at the waterfall curtain 'Possibly better if I wait out here...... If that shares anything with Wukong, he should be dumb enough to open the scroll, if it was indeed stolen and.... If the boy finds it. Or.... One of the monkey in there.' Nezha thought as he sat on a nearby tree, to wait for the one fateful mistake to happen either through Mk, one of the monkeys with in the cave be the one to do it.

Who would've known waiting would take so long, or time has just slowed down, whatever it was. Time would run it's course eventually, and so... It did.

He seen the Monkie Kid, running out of the water cutian, in a crazed panic, as his regrets and those trapped with in the scroll for years tried to break free from it, banging on the seal the Monkey King had set upon the curtian to stop anyone from entering, but as of right now.. It was keeping the Monkie kid safe from being another prisoner within the scroll.

As the Monkie Kid ran back to the city, Nezha went to the waterfall curtain, he knew he couldn't just walk through, the seal would prevent it, shoot him away immediately at that. So for now he had to wait.. patience would be key in Nezha's plan. However, if he will be able to go through with it before the celestial court were court were to find out, was a different story.

He summoned his spear to return to the celestial realm. Even though he will betray the Jade Emperor, and the celestial realm all together, he hasn't yet therefore he still has duties to tend to. Tending to those duties could give him the perfect alibi, if he were to be caught so soon.
