Chapter 2: Unlikely Allies

On another side of the city festival, little markets and food stands are spread around. A particular customer runs to a food store, "OI! WHO'S THE CHEF HERE!?" A man on the opposing side of the desk stays silent, with their back facing the civilian. The customer plops a mini bucket of noodle mush, "I waited around ten minutes for dinner and you give me this!? THIS IS A DISGRACE!" The man silently turns to face them, with a cold glare, which shifts into a soft smile. The man was none other than MK, in monkey form, with his orange jacket and apron on.

"Oh, my dear customer, I was only following your nagging orders for these noodles. I insist you taste it before you judge." The customer yells in MK's face, "Oh, I tasted it! It tastes like unwashed hair!! Whoever made this clearly has zero taste!" Any patience MK had for them was tossed onto the floor, "Ah, I see. I guess I'm just meant to make noodles for little wimps! With such picky and disappointing taste that it'd embarrass their own family! IS THAT IT!?" MK and the customer butt heads, "Look, I want to speak to the manager."

MK takes a heavy breath, "FINE, fine. It's your funeral." MK gestures to another in the stall, Wukong in an apron, with a tiny chef hat, who gives a death stare. The customer backs up and grabs the noodles, "Ya know what! I think I could make this work, so thank you for your service and have a prosperous and fulfilling New Year!" The customer runs off screaming, MK sighs, "Dad, you can't just scare away all the customers that complain!" Wukong looks back and grumbles as MK continues, "C'mon, Dad! This is a chance at something great!"

"GREAT!? *Sigh* Look, Xiaotan, I am Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, and many other titles! What would you have me be, here!? The King of Noodles!?" MK scratches the back of his head, "Well... yes? I mean, after our little humiliating defeat, I thought a fresh start was exactly what we needed!" MK pulls Wukong into a side hug, "Just you and me working together, Father and Son! No evil plans... no talking smoke." Wukong growls at the memory, making MK step back, "Hehe... sorry. Fresh wound..."

MK fiddles with the apron, looking back on that day was still hard, seeing the worst side of your father, it wasn't truly him, but still... Wukong exhales, "Well, Kid, listen. I appreciate the effort, really, but... let's be honest, none of us are good at noodles." MK lets out a short laugh, "Yeah, you're right. I guess I- *GASP* UM. DAD..." MK looks past Wukong, to a mech that demolished the stall behind them. Wukong looks back, ropes quickly wrap around his body, pulling him inside the mech with no difficulty. "DAD, NO!"

MK gets jumped by a vile mask, pushing it back with his might, the claws scratch at his face, MK grabs the sides of the mask and tears it in two. MK spots the cases of elixir on the mask, pulling them out instantly, "I'll come back for you, Dad. Don't worry!" MK hops on his cloud and flies out of the city.

Wukong's eyes slowly blink open, looking over at a dark wide room, his body was tied in shining rope with his arms raised on his sides, "Huh? What the..." He looks forward to seeing Ganglie, who welcomed him with a smile, "If it isn't the great Monkey King. Been a while, hasn't it?" Wukong groans, "I really have become weak if you could capture me, Pigsy." "It's Ganglie, Simian." Wukong looks around to see other demons captured, "What is this?" "A couple more batteries for my mech, like you. Every one of these demons are just dying to give me their power."

Wukong's heart sinks, he looks in every direction he could, "Macaque!? Xiaotan!?" Ganglie sighs, "Oh, don't worry. Haven't gotten your lil family... yet." Ganglie points to the side, "I did catch an old friend." Wukong looks in his direction and spots Niangzi, who awkwardly laughs, "Hello Wukong... long time, right?" Wukong snarls, "YOU! YOU-" Wukong strains against the ropes to try and strangle her (Brutal my guy), but with no result.
