Linwan watched as the city became covered in ice and bone, making her wince as she remembered how Megapolis looked when she came back to it. "Um, so uh, Mr. King, sir. I don't wanna rush you or anything but-" Tang spoke, but MK cut him off. "I'm okay with rushing him! What's the plan, Monkey King? We've got all three Rigs of Samadhi, so how do we use them to make the Lady Bone Demon go boom? Is there a switch or-" Wukong watched as the young hero fell back due to a bump in the tracks. He then glanced at Mei, but looked away as soon as she looked at him. 'Weird...' "It's a bit more complicated than that. In order to reforge the Samadhi Fire we'll need to reach the summit of that mountain." "Huh." Pigsy spoke up. "And, uh, that's where we'll find the fourth ring eh? Ain't that right, Monkey King?" He spoke accusingly and Linwan cowered just slightly at the glare she saw them share. Lucky for her, the young hero interrupted the tense moment. "Fourth ring? W-what fourth ring?" Tang, clearly nervous, slid to Pigsy. "Uh, Pigsy, I think you're confused. Monkey King said they split the Fire of Samadhi into three rings. Three rings hidden by the three great warriors, Monkey King, the Demon Bull King and-" Everyone stumbled a bit as the train car stuttered, making Linwan use her little beetle wings to fly for a second until everything calmed down. Unfortunately, she noticed this wasn't the end as she saw a vehicle rush ahead. "Uh, who dat?" 'I'd like to know too MK.' The train stopped moving, likely due to the vehicle, and two spinning wheels of flaming death split the car apart. "Get back!" Wukong spoke before the impact, then quickly grabbed everyone to move them away from the impact the rings caused. A man wearing... wow he was pretty fashionable with his armor. Pink? Nice.

"Sun Wukong. Finally." Wukong smiled nervously at the man. God? Was he a god? "Ne Zha, my old friend. Don't tell me you trekked all the way out here to hang out with lil' ol' me." He tried to act nonchalant and pointed at himself as he tucked his other hand in his pocket. '... Really?' "You know exactly why I'm here." Ne Zha stabbed his weapon into the car's floor. "I will not let you reforge the Samadhi Fire and doom this world." Tang laughed and got into his personal space, ruining the intense showdown that was about to take place. "I can't believe it's really you! The legendary Third Lotus Prince, Ne Zha! I must be the luckiest Tang in the world!" "Now's not the time Tang!" Her little voice came out, making Sandy give out a confused hum and causing her to quickly quiet herself. 'Please make him forget about my transformations. Just for this second...' Luckily, whatever god heard her decided she needed a break and Sandy went back to watching the group. "You took a sneaky peaky at the map while you were supposed to be guarding it? Now who's untrustworthy?" Wukong spoke rather... sassily actually. She held in a snicker at how he moved his body with it too. "I didn't have to. I knew the ring I had been tasked to hide was safe in Chang'e's care until you stole it!" 'Does he mean that nice cooking show lady?' "Borrowed." "I had a feeling the Demon Bull King would've kept his instead of hiding it as instructed. No surprises there." "Yeah, I think we all saw that one coming." "Which brings me to your ring." He threw his arms up and spoke angrily like a child... or like Redson. Hehe. "Worst kept secret ever!" Mei spoke up. "Well, I mean, not wrong." Sandy even nodded, so Linwan knew it must've been true. "This is exactly why the Rings of Samadhi should have been entrusted to me alone!" Ne Zha suddenly ended up in front of MK. "Hand over the rings, child. I won't ask-" Before he could finish, Wukong uppercut him through the ceiling of the train, launching  him pretty far. 'I'll need to ask him to teach me that one...' He turned to the group and spoke seriously. "That's not going to stop Ne Zha for long. Go. You have to get to the mountain now!" MK nervously shook his head. "And then what?" "Just wait for me there. I'll explain everything." "But-but I can help! Let me help you." "There's no time, bud. Macaque could show up at any second. Go!" The boy nodded and everyone began to leave. She knew she'd regret this, but Linwan flew off of Sandy's head and landed on the train in her actual form once she was sure no one was looking. She tried watching the fight between Wukong and Ne Zha but was forced to listen as she transformed into an eagle and tried to follow. They were super fast... BUT if anyone needed backup right now, it was probably Wukong. Besides, if Macaque was after the rings and Wukong was what he saw first, he'd probably assume he had them. That's especially true with- 'Brr... It's freezing up here.'
