"You know, when I found out I was going to be trained by The Monkey King, Great Sage Equal to Heaven," MK grunts as he slams the hammer down onto the old mural, Sweat drips down her face.

"I had no clue that...I'D BE STUCK HERE HAMMERING WALLS 12 HOURS A DAY!!" MK shouted chucking the hammer away in frustration.


The Monkey King hummed, tail waving lazily below the cloud as he tossed a chip in his mouth, a scroll laying beside the sage half opened.

It's been days since Red Son and his family stole that Skeleton Key from her and Mei, she felt that something bad was heading her way so needs to up her training.


Easier said than done.


"Why am I doing this again?!" MK complained loudly.


"Because it is a good way to practice your strength, plus It be nice to make a nice lil' breakfast nook, get some light up in here." Monkey King said smiling.

MK huffed, annoyed. "But I'm meant to be Monkie Kid not 'Construction Girl'! How am I supposed to do the hero stuff if I don't know the hood stuff?!" She grumbled.


Wukong snorted, looking up at her. "Oh? So you want to know the 'good stuff,' huh? Like this?" The sage used his eyes of truth, throwing the staff clean through the second rock.


MK grinned and nodded, sliding over to him. "Whoa! Yes, exactly like that. I am ready for something awesome," MK told him. "I feel so underprepared for when demons attack and something like that would help!"



Monkey King laughed, sat up and ruffled the the girl's hair. "Look, sweetie, You can't rush this stuff. You'll get there. You just need practice." He told her. "I'm never going to teach you something you don't actually need to know, okay?"

MK frowned, looking at him. "Promise?" She asked.

Monkey King nodded. "I Promise kiddo." He replied, leaning back again. "Now, these rocks are not going to destroy themselves. So remember: Step into the strike."

MK nodded and was about to strike the wall again until her phone started to ring.



It feels so right


I'm where I belong


'Cause I found my place


I found my place-



"Ooh I love that song!" She heard Monkey King said, humming along to the song.


MK quickly answered her phone, to reveal that it was Mei calling her. "What's the Sitch Mei?"



"MK!!" Mei's panicked voice came through, loud enough that she had to hold the phone away from her ear. "We really need your help, some kind of monster is attacking the city!"



Mei said in a panicked expression and moved to the side to reveal a giant blue monster attacking the city.

MK gasped in worry. "A monster attacking the city? That's terrible." She glanced behind her mentor, who was still lounging on his cloud.
