Mercy And Forgiveness

A Lifetime Of Mistakes

Y/n's P.O.V
We were all on Flower Fruit Mountain, watching as cracks appeared in the sky, and then disappeared.

I shuttered, feeling a pit in my stomach.

"You okay, Y/n?" Mei asks me.

"Yes, but I can feel the universe hurting, it's like I can hear it screaming." I told her.

"Uh... at least it's pretty?" Mei said, trying to lighten the mood.

Pigsy scoffs. "Oh, sure. If you ignore the strong "end of the world" vibes."

"The Pig Man is right." Nezha spoke up.

"Hmm?" Pigsy and Mei look at him.

"Azure underestimated the control it takes to wield the power of the Jade Emperor. If we don't stop him, that power is gonna tear this world apart. Monk, the scroll. Have you repaired it?" Nezha turned to Tang.

"One repaired piece of magical bamboo scroll comin' up!" Tang holds up the piece, but it was badly put together with tape.

"You can't be serious. There's no way that'll hold!" Nezha snaps.

"There ain't nothin' a bit of tape can't fix." Sandy adds.

"Can't you heal it, Y/n?" Ink asks me.

"I heal living things, not inanimate objects." I said before I thought about it. "You know what, let me try."

Tang gave me the scroll piece as I gripped it in my hand.

A small golden glow surrounded it, and once it faded, the scroll was repaired.

"There you go, one scroll piece repaired." I handed the piece back to Tang.

"Alrighty! Time for me and my amazing girlfriend to jump in there and find Monkey King!" MK said confidently.

"Wait! How do you know that Monkey King is still..." Mei drags out.

"What? It's fine! It's Monkey King! That guy is indestructible." MK said.

"It's going to be fine, MK. Monkey King is still alive and kicking in there." I wrapped an arm around MK.

"Be that as it may, we have no idea what you'll find once you're inside. It is a good thing Y/n fixed the scroll." Nezha says.

"We have to try. He'd do the same, for any of us." MK says, gripping my hand.

Nezha sighs. "You're right. It's worth the attempt."

Macaque appears beside us. "Ugh, I can't believe I'm sticking my neck out for Wukong. Again."

"Wha?! You're coming too?!" MK said in shock.

"Yeah, if he's lost in broken memories from his past, then who better to tag along than someone who was there for some of it? And besides, your knowledge of the Journey to the West seems pretty selective." Macaque told MK, making MK look offended.

"Hey, Ink, you coming?" I asked Ink.

"Nah, I'll stay out here and help." Ink says and I nod.

MK scoffs at Macaque's comment. "What— You know what? Your criticism is harsh but fair. Alright, LE'GO!"

Tang wasted no time and used his powers and teleport the three of us into the scroll.

Once teleoprted into the scroll piece, the three of us stood in front of Shulian Cave, but there was a giant golden crack right through the middle of it.

"Wukong, what have you done?" Macaque sighs.

"Monkey King did this?" MK looks at the crack in shock.

I placed a hand on MK's shoulder. "Monkey King tore his way through his past trying to find you."
