A/n: Still alive, surprisingly, I really don't know how I do it.

Also like, for a heads up, this story will get crazy and might be not suitable for some readers.

Did not go over it crazily so grammar mistakes are possible or if there's a sudden shift in how I write happens near the end. Sorry in advance.


MK lays on the ground breathing heavily. He stared up at the blue sky, his mind racing. He lost another practice battle to the Great Sage, like always. Even when he should be focusing on the mistakes he made or the battle. His mind just couldn't stop thinking about what happened earlier this week. That earthquake, no, he knew it wasn't that simple. There was a blast, a powerful one that made his whole being shiver. It wasn't supposed to be here. Yet it was.

Monkey King crouches down near MK's head. He looks down at him worried but quickly pushes it aside, putting a smile on his face.

"You're doing great bud! You almost had it, just a little more practice and you'll be getting the hang of this. Just...focus a bit more during battle. Your head was up in the clouds and not in the fight." Monkey King helps MK up to his feet and pats his back. To show off his encouragement to his student.

"A simple but deadly mistake in battle. Your opponent will use it to their advantage. Luckily this was practice and you can try as many times, as you need..." Monkey King trails off, not knowing what to say next. Should he ask what's bugging the kid? Yet deep down, he knew what MK was worried about.

"So what's on your mind, bud?" He asked. Though he doesn't entirely know why he was so hung up over the incident from earlier this week.

"I just got a bit distracted. I was thinking about... stuff." MK brushes Monkey King's question and takes a few steps away. Facing the sunset that was behind the city he lived his whole life in. The feeling in his gut never stopped. He tries to appear less worried than he's feeling at the moment. He frowns a bit, guilt settling in his chest.

Monkey King sighs, frustrated, not with his student but with himself. He knew, that he should have been more open than being vague with his student. Especially when the kid went to him for answers.

MK tensed up, feeling he might have accidentally upset his mentor, from the sound of Monkey King's sigh.

"You're still thinking about that earthquake from earlier this week-" Monkey King's tone was flat but quiet and soft. Trying to be firm and serious but at the same time being gentle and kind. He wants to be reassuring to his student.

"It was NOT an earthquake." MK says cutting the ginger simian off. He quickly turns around and faces Monkey King, both were shocked by his sudden outburst.

"I'm sorry, Monkey King, it's just... I don't know. It didn't feel right, I know you told me it was nothing and best to leave it alone. For some reason, something in me, whatever caused it, isn't supposed to be here. That it was-" Mk was cut off during his panic and nervous state. He doesn't know what's going on or why he feels like this. All he knows is that something weird is happening.

"Look kid, you can trust me. You are right, something did cause that earthquake, but it will bring no harm. She's...pretty harmless... sometimes." Monkey King focuses his gaze on the ground, not feeling confident enough to look at MK when saying it. Knowing he'll try to be even more vague if he sees his student's panic state.

"She? Sometimes?!"

Monkey King got tense as he looked at him. The color drained from MK's face. A bitter feeling formed in his stomach, knowing he messed up. He raises his hands, in a defensive stance. Then slowly outstretches them towards him. Reaching out to calm the student down, despite feeling panicked as well.
