The Moon's Successor

Busy Training And Planning

This barely has anything to do with Pig Pong Panic, so sorry if that's what you wanted here.

It had taken days to get the food smell off of Linwan, so it had been a while since she and Macaque had trained. As soon as the girl stopped smelling like a giant dumpling, the two were back on that desolate mountain and training. The girl crashed back to the ground and popped her head up after a moment, then huffed at herself for falling out of her bird transformation again. "Dammit..." She was picked up by her mentor who promptly put her back down in a sitting position and dusted her off slightly. "It was longer than last time though. You'll get keeping your bird form down eventually." "You think so?" "Yep." He made sure to add a louder pop to the 'p' before he chuckled smugly. "That or you keep eating dirt after every flight." She huffed softly again and crossed her arms. "You're the pro here. Why don't you show me how to fly better?" "Huh?" "Yeah." She looked away in slight embarrassment. "Just until I get it down." He thought about it, weighing the pros and cons as Linwan repositioned herself. "Alright then. I'll get you flying perfectly by the end of the day with it then." "The end of the day? Someone's confident in my abilities." "Of course I do." He stood up and placed his hands on his hips before popping his back by bending backwards a bit. "Ouch, that sounded like it hurt." "The opposite, actually. Come on bright eyes, I mean it when I say by the end of the day." "Ah, right!" She jumped up and stretched as Macaque turned into a near black eagle that had gold and red accents, a brown chest, and sharp talons. It took a minute, but she turned into a much smaller eagle that had a slightly lighter theme to it, and though she also had gold accents and talons like her mentor, her tail feathers had a more vibrant red that would be more suited for Wukong's student and parts of her wings were a teal color. Her appearance was much softer than his as well, seeming more sleek than that of his design. It was a bit odd to see at first, but it was ultimately pretty if not a bit bright when compared to the other shadow user.

After a bit more training, the two finding themselves shifting through multiple animals rather than staying birds, Linwan flopped back and transformed into her usual self as she panted softly. "Birds... are still hard." Macaque landed on her stomach and stared down at her before gently pecking at her. "Maaac, can't I take a break? I can keep multiple forms now, so I think I earned it. Right?" She felt him pause and glanced at him, then saw his chest puff up before he suddenly hopped off and shook his own transformation off. "Alright alright. You earned it." He stretched a bit before crouching down on his haunches. "We can get back to it in fifteen-" He was cut off by her stomach growling. "Didn't you eat a few hours ago, kid?" "I guess transformations make me hungry. Makes sense, since I'm not used to it. Plus it's close to lunch time anyway." She slowly got up. "Let's make that fifteen into thirty then." "Great! I'm feeling like some Pigsy's Noodles, how about you?" He snorted slightly then shrugged. "His cooking is pretty good." "And definitely filling." "Good point, kid. Let's get home then." Macaque opened a portal without warning which made the girl squeak.

The slightly spooked Linwan gave Macaque a half hearted glare then sighed before getting on her phone and calling Pigsy, but it went to voicemail. "Huh? That's... Weird." She held the phone in front of her then tried again only to hear the same thing. "What's wrong kid?" "He never ignores a customer calling... Or me for that matter." She got up from the couch they had both plopped onto and went to her window, opening it and listening out. "... Uuuuhhhh." Her mentor came over and listened out as well. "So, uh, what's going on?" "I don't even know. You hear the banging too though, right?" He nodded and continued their thoughts for the girl. "Sounds like whatever it is... Is pretty intense." "Mhm." She sounded like she was only half paying attention, which made Macaque look at her, seeing she was scrolling through social media. "What are you doing?" "If anyone has any idea what's happening, then it'll be on here before any news station can get their cameras on it. Aha!" She held her phone up to the monkey, showing off the screen. "Isn't that your boss?" "Yep!" She looked at the screen, staring at the chaos around a Pigsy with his ears appearing as devil horns then at the ping pong table in front of him. "Looks like he got a hold of a ping pong table. That's not good..." "How so?" "You know gambling and how people get obsessive over it? Think of it like that. Tang told me it turns Pigsy into, well, this. I figured he was exaggerating but apparently not." She thought about it. "I'm sure MK can handle this. I'm not going anywhere near Pigsy if Tang's to be believed here, and this is proof enough." She closed the window and walked towards the kitchen, getting back to her issue at hand. "We'll just have to eat here then pop back over for training." "Good enough for me."
