Mercy And Forgiveness

The Roast Of The Monkie Kids

Y/n's P.O.V
Me and the others, minus MK sadly, dressed in these training outfits while Shifu Subodhi stood in front of us.

"Oh, yeah, baby! I can't wait to learn some kung fu skills!" Mei cheers but Subodhi bonked her in the head with his staff. "Ow! Hey!"

"Do not bother with what they are doing. You will need to focus on the task ahead of you." Subodhi says, looking toward us.

"Relax, Mei." Tang holds up a bowl of noodles. "Here, have some brain food noodles."

Subodhi then bonked Tang on the head. "And you need to stop gorging yourself on our rations!"

"I'm sorry. It's just that I'm stressed, okay? Stressed that Azure Lion has probably taken over the Celestial Realm by now, Monkey King is gone, MK is MIA, and I can't use my powers reliably. I just feel so useless." Tang said, making everyone sigh depressingly.

"You're too overcome by emotion. Until now, you've overcome adversity through sheer power and luck. That won't be enough this time. Azure Lion, The Golden Winged Peng, and Yellowtusk the Wise. Alone, they can best a thousand-man army. Together, they are nigh unstoppable. I do not make a habit of extending my training to any mere mortals. The very fate of the universe depends on you. But as you are now, it cannot!" Subodhi then points to Mei. "You, girl, are too impulsive."

"What?!" Mei rages.

Subodhi turns to Tang. "You are a groveling coward with scrawny ankles." Then he turned to Pigsy next. "You pig man, are too stubborn to see the truth."

"Hmph." Pigsy grumbles.

"You." Subodhi finally pointed to me. "You need to learn more about your powers, and get along with that thing on your arm."

I raised an eyebrow, looking confused. "What thing? The ink on my arm?"

"I am not a thing." A voice said, then my inky arm lifted as some ink dripped off it and hit the ground, forming ink MK. "I prefer he, by the way, not it."

"Ah!" Tang screamed, jumping into Pigsy's arms. "The curse is free, it followed us out!"

"Relax." Ink MK says before sighing. "I'm not going to hurt you, anymore, and besides, I'm only a fraction of it."

I furrowed my eyebrows at him. "That's what you meant when you said that I'm your ticket out."

"You got it." Ink MK winked.

"Enough." Subodhi says before turning to Sandy. "And you, blue one... are simply delightful." He gives Sandy a star. "You might be the most studious of the lot."

"What the..." Mei and Pigsy glared.

"I want that." Tang glares as well.

"Why are they mad over a star?" Ink MK whispers in my ear.

Okay, I've gotta stop calling him Ink MK, it's gonna confuse me. I'll just call him Inky or Ink.

"I don't know." I glared at Ink.

"I thought you knew what was going to happen." Inky says in a cheeky.

"I-I-I do, I did, just shut up..." I stuttered, walking away with a distant face.

Subodhi had each of us lined up, including Ink, getting ready to train us.

"Right now, you're like a jagged stone. Once I'm done with you, you'll be worn down, chiseled, and refined. Except you, Sandy." Subodhi gives Sandy another star. "You're chiseled enough."

Sandylaighs as the others cry and glare at him.

"I still don't get why they're mad about a star." Ink said to me.
