Secrets of the Golden Sea

Dad of the East Sea

"We're alive, we're alive!" Tang shouted as he swam out of the water. Jingshen laid at the bottom, looking at everyone who was struggling. That's when he felt the ship rumble and the windows crack. He went to the surface and glared at the breaking windows.

"Hey Jingshen, you can control water right?" Mk nervously asked.

"I can." He stated, looking at Mk.

"Cool... do you think you could maybe-Uhm-stop the water from coming in?" He pleaded, hoping his friend would say yes. Jingshen just swam to the windows and blocked the water from coming in. Mk sat next to Jingshen quietly. Then he spoke. "So Uhm... why didn't you tell anybody you were Ao Jinhai?" Mk asked, distracting Jingshen from his task.

"I didn't know how you guys would react, plus, I thought Monkey King would'a told you when he first saw me." Pigsy whipped around and glared at Wukong.

"You knew?" Monkey King shrugged.

"I mean yeah, I can see through glamours. And so can Mk, surprised you didn't notice it bud." He said, playing with the water.

"Well yeah I Uhm did the first time we met." Mk then scratched his neck nervously. "But I just got my powers and I thought I was seeing stuff—"

"So you saw that he was a dragon and didn't think to maybe mention it!" Mei shouted, splashing the water around her.

"Hey, in my defense I didn't see a dragon! I just saw him with dragon features—"

"Hold on, you're saying that not even his human form is very...humany?" Pigsy asked, glancing at Jingshen. He shrugged, taking off his glamour. Mei rushed towards him, her eyes wide.

"Jingy you look so cool!" She smiled, awestruck. "Do you think I could do that?" Jingshen smiled at her.

"You are a decedent of Ao Lie, oh and hey, maybe you could turn into a horse—" A large creature swam by them, Jingshen immediately put his glamour back on.

"Oh boy." He muttered.

"That was big." Mk trembled.

"Everybody relax, I'm pretty sure this is an old friend of mine coming to help out!" Wukong smirked, wagging his tail.

"You do realize how much Ao Guang doesn't like you, right—" A beast looked through the windows and grabbed the ship.

"Actually, friend might be stretching it." Wukong decided, looking up at the looming beast warily.

"YOU THI—"

They were thrown into the dragon palace of the East Sea. Jingshen sighed before helping Mk up. Everybody gasped at the sight. He frowned, feeling a slight disdainfulness.

"The dragon palace of the East Sea. We're in the dragon palace of the East Sea!" Mei said exuberantly. Shaking Mk.

"Yeah this is my kinda sorta old buddy's house, where I got my staff!" Wukong held his Hands on his hips.

"Got or...?"

"Took, right? You took it? Oh boy."

"Oh here they come! Smiles everybody smiles!" Jingshen proceeded to frown. Glancing up at the opening doors of the palace. Ao Guang and a few of his servants walked out. Looking mighty approachable as one does. "Heeyyy, Ao Guang! Long time no—"

"SUN WUKONG!" He somehow used telepathy. Ao Guang can do that now. Yep. "You dare return to my domain? After humiliating me, tricking me." Ao Guang became a white dragon. Glaring down at the visitors.

"Bu-wha-the staff? That's a total misunderstanding!" Sun Wukong muttered, lashing his tail.

"And now I have learned that it has been lost? You have given the evil Lady Bone Demon exactly what she need's to destroy us all! I should execute you where you stand!"
