"Azure? Where's Monkey King?"
MK asked again, more firmly, feeling the aura I was displaying, whilst I kept a close guard In front of everyone.

I grit my teeth as he tightened his grasp on the wooden plate in his claws, seeing the strange gold texts glow fade away.

"Explain yourself Azure! Or was my observation correct?"
I snarled, my words seemed to strike Azure a bit, as he looked a bit guilty now.

"Sen?"
"He's been lying the entire time MK!
He just wanted us busy, ugh! And I let you flirt with me. Feelings are such a bitch."

"Flirt with you!?"
Pigsy roared.

"Um, maybe we should give Mr. Lion a chance to explain." Sandy said, trying to defuse the situation, but it was far to late to calm down.

"We saw it! Here. Wherever this place is. Him! Plotting to take down the Monkey King. That was his plan all along, to trap Monkey King inside that scroll and do something sinister, something bad, probably."

Azure seemed to think over Tang's words, averting his gaze, "Hm..."

"See?! He's basically admitting it!"
Mei hissed, "You have no shame, do you?" I snarled, spinning my scythe before slamming the handle into the ground.

"And to think I modeled my brand new sword after yours! Gross!" Mei cried, I gave her sword a look.

"Yours is much better."
"I know right?"

"It wasn't my intention to deceive you, but I knew you wouldn't understand. Sometimes it's easier to ask for forgiveness, not permission."
Azure said, looking mainly at me.

"Well bitch guess what? Either way it's NO.
So your saying you'd rather go behind others backs to do your own shit! And then! Ask for forgiveness after the damage has been done!?"

"Please warrior, hear me out-
"Hear you out!? The first thing you've told us was bullshit! And the moment we find Monkey King you just take him again!?"

Azure paused before his eyes hardened,
"You seem touchy when it comes to him."

"What?"
I said,     taking a threatening step forward, a clear hint of what will happen next.

I quickly note how fast Azure's body language shifted, from a more subtle one, to a full blunt sign of envy and bitterness.

"Well, I thought you'd be glad you'd have another person to cling onto, the chemistry between you and Sun Wukong isn't exactly...Safe." He said matter a factly, speaking as if it was apparent, as if it was something the whole world was sure of.

And that pissed me off, a lot.

"Oi! I warned you jackass!" Mei roared before launching towards Azure, the lion demon quickly reacted by using the scroll to spawn something, after a flash of light, we all saw a pair of shimmering gold wings blocking her blade.

"Greetings, little girl."
I heard, the figure opened these wings and threw Mei back, I quickly used the swarm to catch her.

"Mei!"
MK and Tang said as MK ran over to make sure his friend was okay.
