Mercy And Forgiveness

Revenge Of The Spider Queen

Y/n's P.O.V
I watched from the sidelines as MK and Monkey King trained together.

Right now, instead of training for Flower Fruit Mountain, we're at Monkey King's Shame Temple.

Even after watching the show, I still wanna know why this place was called the Shame Temple, but I hated what was going to happen today.

Today was Lunar New Year.

The day Spider Queen would attack, but she would be more powerful than before, all thanks to the Lady Bone Demon.

The very demon I couldn't prevent from returning, all because of my stupidity.

"You call this a training session? I've barely broken a sweat." MK smirks.

"A battle's no place to be arrogant, MK!" I shouted to him.

"What Y/n said. You gotta stay humble." Monkey King adds.

"Says you?" MK manages to put Monkey King near the edge. "Hah, who's gotta be humble now?"

"Hmm. Still you." Monkey King said, kicking the staff out of MK's hands and lauded it toward the mountain, causing rocks to fall.

"Oh boy." The rocks fall on MK.

Monkey King pulled MK out of the rubble with his tail. "Ok, class commencing, how'd I win?"

"Uh, you buried me under a rock slide?" MK says.

"Yes, but why were you standing in the way of a rock slide?" Monkey King asked him.

"Cause you put me there!" MK snaps.

"No, no, no, no, no, no. I got you where I wanted you by putting myself where you wanted me, it's called misdirection." Monkey King said dramatically.

"Seems like I shady lesson." MK points out.

"Too soon, buddy." Monkey King crossed his arms.

"Ugh, I'm never gonna be as good as you." MK groans.

"Not with that attitude. Class dismissed!" Monkey said.

"Come on, Y/n. We better hit it, we were supposed to meet Mek and the others for the fes--." MK stops, seeing Monkey King set up a few pillows and other stuff. "Hey! Whoa. How long have you been preparing this?"

"Come on, it's New Year's, you two, let's watch the fireworks." Monkey King sat down on a pillow.

"Let's join him, MK." I led him over to a pillow.

"Sure." MK said, sitting beside me.

Once the fireworks went off, we cheered.

"Happy New Year! Fireworks!"

"Over a millennia and fireworks are still the best thing humans have invented!" Monkey King plucks a hair out, making an illusionary box of treats.

Of course, I was offered one, but I denied it, knowing that it was hair. I tried to warn MK about it, but he was already eating it.

"Uh. Am I eating hair right now?" MK asked, disgusted.

"It's better not to think about it." Monkey King shrugs.

While MK was spitting the hair out, I looked off into the distance where the city was, but the fireworks had stopped.

I stood up, the sense of uneasiness filling my stomach. "The fireworks. Something's wrong."

"The city!" MK panics.

"The fireworks!" Monkey King says, making us glare at him. "Oh, uh, also people getting hurt. I guess.

MK brought out his staff. "Alright, Y/n, let's go take care of business."
