Monkie Kid: The Lost Tribe

Crash Landing

Everyone was at the dock the following morning packing, with everyone packing up for the journey as the dronecopter floated above the water. 

"You're not coming?" Daiyu looked disappointed

"Not this time," Chyou said, "I have to watch the teahouse."

"And I'm staying back to help her," Chenguang pipped up, "since your dad is leaving."

Over the years, Chenguang has made some changes to her appearance, her hair is now in a ponytail over her shoulder, and wore a loose light beige sweater with sky blue pants and light beige shoes. When Daiyu was born, she and Red Son became Daiyu's godparents, it gave Chenguang a sense of responsibility that hadn't been in her more carefree nature before Daiyu was born. Even though Chenguang believed that Chyou was a good mother, it didn't hurt to give her goddaughter some advice now and again or let Daiyu rant about whatever problems she had at school, or her parents were giving her.

"We'll be back before you know it." Macaque smiled. 

Chyou gave a worried look before turning to Chenguang.

"Can you give us a minute?" Chyou requested.

"Let's go Daiyu," Chenguang placed a hand on her back, "I'll help you set up your room on the ship."

Macaque and Chyou watched them walk up the ramp before they were no longer in sight.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Chyou turned to Macaque worried.

"Why wouldn't it be?" Unlike his wife, Macaque was showing no signs of worry.

"Because during past travels someone has had something that you all could go off of," Daiyu pointed out, "this time you have nothing."

Upon hearing his wife's reasoning, Macaque's face became slightly less relaxed. She was right, in the past, they had something to go off of to get an idea of where they were going, this time the plan was to fly around until they found something. 

"We'll be okay Gem," Macaque gave her a soft smile, "I'll make sure nothing happens to her."

"I don't want anything to happen to you either." Chyou placed a hand on his cheek.

Macaque gently pressed his forehead against hers. "I promise we'll return home safe."

"Macaque!" Mei called out from the dronecopter. "Hurry up, we're leaving."

"I love you," Chyou whispered.

"I love you too," Macaque whispered back. 

As a goodbye, Macaque gave Chyou a kiss before walking up the ramp onto the ship. As the dronecopter began to rise up away from, Chyou and Chenguang waved before they left off to the horizon, and out of the two women's sight. Chyou still looked worried as Chenguang placed a hand on her shoulder. 

"They'll be okay." Chenguang gave her a reassuring smile.

"I hope so." Chyou still seemed uneasy as her looked out onto the ocean.

Soon the morning became the afternoon, Tao and MK were sparring as everyone who was out on the deck watched, except Daiyu who was writing something down as Mo laid sleeping next to her. Mei was the first to notice Daiyu's antisocial behavior.

"So Daiyu," Mei scooted over beside her, "are you excited?"

"I'm more excited about the fact that I don't have to save Tao from Han like I've been doing." Daiyu answered. 

"I didn't need saved," Tao yelled, "I was handling it!"

"Han?" Wukong raised an eyebrow. "That punk is still bugging you?"

"I thought he would have gotten bored by now," Macaque commented, "but I've been hearing from some kids that stop in the teahouse say that he has a crush on Daiyu so maybe--"

"NO, HE DOESN'T" Tao's voice cracked as he screamed.

"Why?" MK tilted his head.

His face from bright red from embarrassment and anger, as everyone looked surprised by Tao's sudden an unexpected outburst. Even now Tao still has a crush on Daiyu, so the idea of someone else liking Daiyu who was his best friend too, gets him worked up a little too much sometimes.

"He just doesn't okay." Tao muttered.

Before the awkward situation got worse, it was interrupted by a ship making a sudden shaking followed by a hard jolt making everyone stumble over.

"What was that?" Daiyu sounded uneasy.

"Probably just some turbu--" Mei was cut off by another shaky jolt. 

Inside the ship Pigsy made it to the pilot's seat, where Sandy was. 

"Sandy, what's going on?" Pigsy asked. 

"I'm not sure," Sandy looked at him, "but I can see an island, I'm preparing to land there, it might get a little bumpy."

Then suddenly, from somewhere on said island several large boulders were launched into the sky at their ship.

"LOOK OUT!" MK yelled as one managed to land on the ship.

Sandy was trying his best to dodge the flying boulders, unfortunately at the expense of his friends as they struggled to stay standing with Sandy's current flying. MK noticed that one of the flying boulders was heading toward Tao and Daiyu, with Tao helping up Daiyu to notice what was coming towards them. It was only when MK ran in front of them and used the staff and swung at the boulder, breaking it into a several smaller pieces did they notice what happened, and looked at MK in shocked silence.

"Get inside," MK turned to them, "quick!"

Instantly snapped out of their shock, Tao and Daiyu quickly ran into the ship's cabin with MK and the rest following behind to avoid getting it by the boulders whilst Sandy continued to dodge them in the sky, but one how the boulders flew to low and damaged one of the ships outside engines, with one of the engine's out the ship slowly began to tilt to the side, having everything that was nailed down slide to that side of the ship. 

"Sandy!" Pigsy yelled out.

"Hang on." Sandy called out. "It's gonna be a rough landing."

Before Sandy got the chance to prepare for landing, a boulder, larger than any of the previous ones, hit one of the engines, causing the damaged and dented engine to release and thick cloud of black some before exploded. The ship itself went into a fast downward spiral, Sandy was struggling to maneuver the ship to land on the island, as everyone inside was screaming as they feared for the worst. The ship made it on the island, skidding through the sand on the beach and into the forest knocking down trees. Sandy had been knocked out of his seat when the ship had hit the island, he finally managed to pull himself back up he saw they were headed for the side of a cliff.

Before he could do anything, everything went black.
