MK, Mei, and I watch the broadcast about the Great Wall Race happening this year, and our eyes widen upon hearing the prize being a peach. But not just any peach.
"A Peach of Immortality!" MK shouts out excitedly and smiles brightly at the thought of getting it.
"How did they even get their hands on one of those things? I thought it was impossible even to get one..."
"Uh, Peach of what now?" Pigsy asks, looking at us in confusion.
MK and Mei slowly turn to Pigsy, and immediately start ranting about the Peaches of Immortality, but also scold him for not knowing what they are. I just watch the two rant to the Pigsy, feeling a bit bad for him but that's when Tang clears his throat, interrupting them.
"If you'll allow me." He pushes up his glasses. "Legend says there is a sacred field of trees which grows in the Heavenly Realm, protected by the gods themselves. Every few thousand years, these trees bring forth the Peaches of Immortality. Against the wishes of the Heavenly Host, the Monkey King took them all, making himself immortal!"
"Hold up. I thought Monkey King was already immortal," Pigsy says, feeling more confused.
"Well, he is but wanted to make sure he was as far as possible from death so he did quite a lot... like a lot... to stop himself from dying."
Mei shakes her head, however. "Piggy, you're missing the point! Whoever wins this race will..."

Red Son smiles brightly, pointing at the TV screen broadcasting about the race, trying to tell them about it.
"Live forever! A-Are you two even listening?" He asks them, a bit disheartened.
His mother sighs and looks away from him. "Uh... something about peaches? Look, your schemes are quaint, but I never much cared for stone fruit."
"But... the peaches are powerful!"
"Like the Weather Station was powerful?" She holds her face. "Why don't you just run along, hmm? Can't you see Mommy and Daddy have important business with an ancient power source?"
Multiple Demon Bull Clones are digging around a mysterious-looking box chained up and locked, trying their best to pull it out of the ground. The box, however, glows blue, power practically seeps out of it, and whispering can be heard from it. One clone tries to figure out what it's saying, but it's almost as if it's an ancient language. However, the Demon Bull King smirks upon seeing the amount of progress being made uncovering it.
Red Son however turns away in anger from his parents. "Fine! You two stay here in your hole digging your "mysterious power source." Ugh, I am going to win the race, and when I get that peach, I'm not sharing!"
He disappears in his flames, and his father looks at where he stood, shaking his head in disappointment.
"Foolish boy. If I were to race, I would crush him!"
That's when Princess Iron Fan gets an idea and a smile forms. "It would be wrong of us to shatter our son's ambitions. That's far too cruel! Even for demons."

The three of us are outside as I watch Mei get ready for the race and MK does his own thing to the side. The dragon girl cleans up her bike with a smile.
"This is huge! Those other racers won't stand a chance! You'll knock 'em dead!"
"Right? I know the track like the back of my hand! The back alleys, the front alleys, the sideway alleys. All the alleys! I was made for this!" Mei says excitedly.
