"I'M WHAT!?" Wukong roared over the laughs of his other sworn brothers. Yellow Tusk rubbed the back of his neck, uncomfortable with this entire situation. "You're pregnant..."
"That doesn't even make sense! I'm a guy! And what does this have to do with my headache?!" Wukong yells. He's extremely annoyed with this entire situation. And it doesn't help that the others are laughing at him. He sends a quick growl their way, promptly shutting the others up. "While I'm not sure how this happened, there is still a fully grown woman with battle armor in your head..." Yellow Tusk explains, still trying to make sense of the situation. Wukong perks up at this, "In my head. She's In my head?!" Yellow Tusk nods and steps back. Bull King begins to laugh louder at that. "Well, how do we get her out?" He asks through his laughter. "I've got an idea!" Macaque yells. Before anyone can say anything else, he whacks Wukong on the head with his staff. A sudden bright silver light appears from where Wukong was hit as a girl jumps out of his head and lands a few feet away from him.
She looks more like a human than a monkey. Only having a monkey's tail and ears. She had facial markings, pure white that ran around her eyes, small specks on her right cheek. Bright golden eyes were contrasted with her long dark brown hair. She wore gray armor that a rainbow shimmer, almost like it was made of bismuth.
The girl turns around to look at the group and gives a smile and a wave. "Hello." She says as she approaches the group. "It's good to finally meet you all." They all stand there in shock, unsure of how to react. Wukong was the first to speak up. "So... Do you have a name?" He asks. The girl smiles and nods. "Yep, I'm Kit. It's good to finally meet you father." Kit says as she hugs Wukong. Wukong pauses at the action before he starts to laugh. Picking up the bigger girl, he spins her around happily. "I have a kid! I have a Kid!!" He exclaims happily.

"Father. I don't think this is a good idea...." Kit says as she grips Wukong's waist. "Sure it is! You need to learn somehow!" He says before throwing her off his cloud and leaving her to freefall.
~~
"Wukong, why would you do that?" Macaque yells and Yellow Tuck patches up Kit's injuries from her fall. "Come on, she's fine. She's got my resistance." Wukong says confidently. "She's not immortal you stupid chimp." Peng chimes in. "She's gonna die if she sustains another fall like that." Wukong freezes at that. He never thought of that. He doesn't want to think about it. He then stands up and runs down the mountain. "What's his problem?"
~~~~~
"Father's still not back?" Kit asks Macaque as she sits next to him. "Nope, still off to collect more power." Macaque says as he clenches his fists. "He said he would stay. Eat peaches with us and relax." He growls out. Kit sighs and places her hand on Macaque's shoulder. "He wants to keep us safe. Him being so powerful means no one will bug us." Macaque sighs and pulls Kit closer. "I know... I know..." He says as he stares off into the sunset.
~~~~~
"Really? This is for me?" Kit asks Yellow Tusk as he hands her a giant Warhammer. It's massive, bigger than Kit. The whole thing shimmers like her armor. It was made specifically for her. "Yes. But be careful it's really heavy- Oh." Yellow Tusk starts to explain but stops when he sees Kit holding it in one hand with ease. "Nevermind. Now, let me show you how to wield it." He says as he grabs his own Warhammer. Kit smiles and listens attentively as Yellow Tusk explains.
~~~~~
"Wha? Father, where did you get that?" Kit asks as she stares at the immortal peach in his hand. "It's from when I raided heaven. I saved you one." He says as he places the peach into her hand. "Eat it! Then we'll stay together forever!" Kit freezes at that as she stares at the peach in her hand, unsure of what to do. She sighs and places the peach back into Wukong's hand. "I can't."
~~~~~
"I'm going to help." Kit says sternly as she stands next to the rest of the brotherhood. Wukong looks at her and sighs. "You're still injured." He says as he looks at Kit's injured arm and leg. Kit grumbles something under her breath. Only Macaque and Wukong seem to catch her words. Reluctantly, Wukong sighs. "Alright, fine. Just don't drag us down." He says with a surprising amount of venom. Bull King, Azure, Yellow Tusk, and Peng look between the father and daughter in confusion. "What happened to them?" Azure mutters under his breath.
~~
The battle was brutal. Dead celestial soldiers lay everywhere they looked. Kit fought bravely, smashing many celestial soldiers with her Warhammer. As the fight continued, she ended up getting thrown next to Wukong. Wukong sees who landed next to him and his eyes widen. "General, Fall back!" He says as he blocks many of the celestial soldiers' hits. "But, my King." "I said, Fall back!" Wukong yells, annoyed at this defiance. Kit looks at him, pulls him close, and whispers into his ear. She soon pulls away and with a growl, she hops onto her cloud and flies away from the battle. Leaving the battle behind. Her family behind.
