Monkie Kid: The legend of the Nine-tailed Princess

Chapter 2: A hero is born and the Nine Tails returns

*3 years later*

Narrator's POV

Now a 19 year old young adult girl and 16 year old teenage girl, Akira now has a scar on right eye, and now she's wearing a red necklace, an orange and black varsity with the nine tails symbol on the back, black t-shirt, black fingerless gloves, blue jeans, and boots. Sakura now showing her cat ears, and now wearing a red jacket, white T-shirt, blue jeans and black shoes, they're both listening as Tang narrates the old legend.

Tang's narration: "The thing you need to understand about the old legends is that the story is never finished. There maybe no pages left to turn, but there is always more to the journey. Rising from the Netherworld, the Demon Bull King attacked. No one could stop him, no one expect... The legendary Monkey King. The Money King used his magical staff to pick up a nearby mountain. He trapped the Demon Bull King underneath it. The Monkey King sealed the mountain with the staff that no one could wield, trapping the Demon Bull King forever. With the battle won, the Monkey King vanished, never to be seen again. Legend says the staff still lies on top of that mountain, the one thing keeping our world from certain destruction. And with the Demon Bull King gone, civilization was able to able to advance into the amazing city we now live in. A world of elegant cultures, gentle loving people, a city brimming with five-star cuisine, and all because of the Monkey King."

MK: "Oh, that's so good! Monkey King's so cool! He's so strong and handsome-"

Tang: "Oh, MK. And you thought you knew all the Monkey King stories."

MK pulls out his book to show pictures of his drawing and starts explaining.

MK: "Oh, but I do. I got his whole life documented extensively in this unauthorized autobiography of Monkey King. Written and illustrated by your truly. Like I knew he was born from a stone, and live behind waterfall with his sweet little baby monkey friends! And- and- and oh!"

Akira and Sakura smiles in amusement and Sakura swiftly takes his book to get a better look at his work. Akira looked at the book Sakura is looking at, nodding at the art.

Tang: "It's nice to know someone's taking in all these stories. Pearls of wisdom, dropping from my lips. (clears his throat) Well, you know the deal: one story, one free bowl of Zha jiang mian. Hmm?"

MK: "Huh? Oh right, free noodles! Yep, on it."

Akira and Sakura looked at the two with unamused look and then looked at each.

Akira:(Sarcastically whispers) "I wouldn't do that if I were him."

Sakura nodded in agreement and looked back at the boys.

MK: "How heavy do you think a mountain is? Compare to like-"

MK attempts to grab the bowl but someone throws a spoon at him. Caleb's ears pricked up and looked up who's in the middle of eating fruits that Akira brought his earlier and tilted his head to the side.

Pigsy: "Free noodles?!"

Pigsy takes the noodles with shadow over his eyes.

Pigsy: "No one gets a free meal at Pigsy's! I'm not running a charity here, Tang!"

Tang: "Ah, but Pigsy, I was paying with wisdom."

Akira and Sakura shake their heads in unamused with their eyes closed, while Caleb looked unamused at them.

Pigsy: "Yeah? Well, wisdom don't pay rent, you freeloader! And you!"

Pigsy glared before pointing angrily at MK who freezes.
