❝My body will remember that anger that will not leave me until I die.❞
BOTH MACAQUE AND Mk went through endless memories to look for Wukong. They had saw variety of events that occurred in his life in the past. However and as the cracks got worse, the two of them knew that Wukong was trying to find his out.
Thankfully, they managed to find him yet he looked really down. Monkey King felt the presence of Macaque and Mk and turned around, "Kid. You found me." He said with a forced sad smile, but it quickly disappeared and he turned around as Mk approached him, " I couldn't, I— I... I just wanted to protect the people I cared about. To be strong enough. I lost sight of why I was doing any of it. I know I've made a few lifetimes worth of mistakes but living them over and over again like this, I..." He trailed off, keeping his gaze away from Mk.
Meanwhile, Macaque was watching memories of him an Wukong sitting together and eating peaches without any care to the world.
Mk smiled assuringly, "Well. Good thing you're immortal, right?" He asked him and puzzled Wukong.
"What?"
"There's plenty of times to do things over."
"Kid, I—"
Wukong was cut off when Mk put his hands on his shoulder, "You told me something that I thought was just a-a weird Monkey King thing but... you were right. We can't fix everything. We just need to leave it a little better than we found it. As long as we stay true to that, we can deal with whatever comes next." Mk started just as Macaque joined them. Wukong stared at him with hurt in his eyes, an unpleasant memories flashing in his head, "Monkey King, I'm not ready to not have a mentor. Azure needs to be stopped, but... we need you. I need you..." The boy added, summoning his staff.
"... to be the Monkey King."
Wukong looked up at Macaque and his eyes widened slightly when he saw the shadow monkey give him a small yet assuring smile. Monkey King smiled and nodded his head, grabbing the staff as well. Mk was relieved that Wukong finally returned to his normal self once again, "Alright, we only need to get Y/N back and we're smooth sailing." He confronted with a confident smile.
With that being said, the three of them moved to look for you.
