Mercy And Forgiveness

Pitiful Creatures

MK's P.O.V
I stood there, everything darken and cold.

Many thoughts running through my head for what I just discovered about myself, but what's worse is that the curse found me and had Y/n.

"Y/n?" I call out to her.

"MK--." She tried to say, but the ink monkey version of me covered her mouth with ink.

"What's the matter, guy?" Ink me smirks at me.

I backed up, my heart racing. "Nothing. I just--."

"Hey, nah, I get it, man. You wanna get back to our Monster of the Week Adventures? To get back to our simple missions with Mei, mastering all Monkey King's powers and delivering noodles for Pigsy, right?" Ink me said, twirling Y/n around. "What about you, Y/n?"

Y/n responded with a muffled curse word. Don't know which one, but it was a curse word.

"Yeah, with Y/n, that's exactly what I wanna--." I tried to say, but I was interrupted.

"But we can't! Not after all we've seen. All we know and all we don't." Ink me sighs. "Right, friend?"

"You're not my friend." I growled, summoning my staff. "You're not me! Now release Y/n!"

"Sure, I am. I'm your best friend! Well, closest at least. I know more about you than you'll even admit. To yourself or to others." Ink me kept talking.

I backed away, but he suddenly appeared behind me, Y/n still tightly in his grasp.

"Yo, where you going, guy?" The curse said teasingly.

I glared at him, getting frustrated. "You're not real. You're just the curse of the scroll trying to get all up inside of my head, just like—."

"The Lady Bone Demon? Tell me, what do you think we are? Honestly. 'Cause I have been dying to hear us say it. Out loud." The curse interrupted me once again.

"What kind of question is that?! I'm just... I'm just MK. A noodle delivery guy with the powers of the Monkey King. No biggie." I shrugged, not liking this one bit.

The curse appears in front of me. "Oh. You mean, these powers?"

The curse swept me off my feet before punching me and coming after me.

The fighting kept going on and on.

"Seriously? You still think we're just some..." The curse says, clones appearing. ""noodle delivery guy"? You can't remember where we came from, and we got all this power, and you never once thought, why us?"

I quickly defeated all the clones.

"What are we?! What is our purpose?!" The curse kept fighting me.

"Of course, I thought about it! I mean, maybe! I was gonna thought about it. I just... I just wanna be me. I wanna be with Y/n. To be MK." I panted, already getting tired of this.

"Yeah, well, we all know exactly where that leads, don't we?" The curse said.

To pain. Those very last words Lady Bone Demon said to me.

"We help people. I mean, I help people. It's what I do." I said to the curse.

"Are you sure about that? Last I checked, all of this happened because of us. We said it ourselves. We released the Demon Bull King from the Underworld. We gave the Spider Queen the means to dominate the city, and we gave the Lady Bone Demon the opportunity to wreak havoc on the world." The curse said, transforming into each and every villian I faced, terrifying the crap out of me.
