Secrets of the Golden Sea

Macaque

"Mk! We need your help! There's this large shadow creature terrorizing Megapolis!" Mei shouted into the speaker of his phone. She turned her phone to show a dragon and a shadow creature brawling. "And the dragons back! They just kinda showed up!" Sun Wukong perked at that.

"Dragon?"

"Oh no, so sorry Monkey King, but a monsters attacking the city! Guess I have to do some boring hero stuff instead of.." He waved at the wall he was supposed to be breaking. "This. Okay bye!" Wukong looked at the crumbling wall. Ao Jinhai escaped him about a month ago. Now this dragon just shows up and tries to stop this demon? He groaned, maybe Jinhai wasn't in the forest or ocean...

"Mei! What did I miss?" He hollered, running over to his friend. She turned around, her eyes shining.
"This shadow demon thingy and the dragon that saved me are dueling it out! Not sure who's winning though..." she replied, puzzling over the fight.

"Alright be right back!"

"Mk, no wait, stop!" He ignored Mei as he used his trusty staff to fling him at the shadow demon. Only for the shadow demon to catch him and throw him into the ground.

"Uuugghh." He groaned in pain. He looked back up to the shadow demon and noticed it was wrapping the silver dragon in its scarf rope thingys. As the silver dragon struggled the shadow demon threw it. The dragon let out a bellowing roar as they became a tiny speck.

"Well there goes the dragon." Mei said. A shadowy figure ran along the buildings. Jumping from roof to roof as they ran. "Uhm is that—"

"Monkey King?" The monkey jumped over to the shadow demon and striked it with his purple staff. The staff let out a purple aura and shot the shadow demon, making it vanish. Mk didn't know Monkey King had that kind of weapon or power! Mk used his staff to bring him to where Monkey King was currently.

"Mk where are you going—" He climbed up onto the roof top.

"Yeah Monkey King—AAAAAAAH!" Mk fell off of the roof, so maybe he wasn't the best climber but that's alright! He has his trusty staff after all! "That was awesome! I can't believe you came back to—" He put his hands over his mouth as he realized that this wasn't Monkey King. "Oh heh, this is awkward, you're not Monkey king."
The black furred simian just chuckled, grinning at him.

"I get that a lot, Monkie kid right?" The simian asked.

"How did you?" He looked at the monkey in awe.

"Your staff kind of gives you away dude. Not just anybody can wield that thing." The monkey replied, pointing at Ruyi Jingu Bang.

"Wait, who are you?" He asked, his curiosity practically shining.

"Macaque, actually the Six Eared Macaque." He paused, scratching his head. "My full name." Macaque started walking away. "Well, see you around, Mk!" Mk gripped his staff and excitedly ran over to the dark simian.

"Can you teach me those things, please?" He asked, somehow vibrating in joy.

"Don't you already have a mentor, thought uh, Monkey King was teaching you?"

"He his, but he's really slow at it! I want to learn how you did that thingy with your staff!"
Macaque smiled at him.

"Well, you can never have too many teachers!" He grinned. "I'm sure, Monkey King can agree! It's not like he would want to hold'cha back!" Mk beamed, nothing could possibly go wrong!
