LMK! -MACAQUE'S SUCCESSOR?!-

..First Ring..

Mk and his friends woke up in a different area.. "Ugh..Where are we.." Mk groaned and sat up "oh hey Mk!" Mei looked at him, meanwhile Redson was behind her doing added petals in her hair. "What is redson doing?" Mk asked and Redson looked at him "none of your business..But if you want to know, your friend forced me into this." Redson looked annoyed and Mei giggled slightly, Mk looked around seeing Sandy making tea and Ashlynn still sleeping..BESIDE HIM, his face turned red "oh uh..-" Mk looked away and tried to focus his attention on something else "What's with the blush Mk?~" Mei teased and Mk scoffed "shut it." Mk sighed and got off bed "Honestly, both of you make a good pair Noodle boy" redson spoke, not looking up focused on designing Mei's hair "Yeah! Just like us right redboy!" Mei giggled and Redson blushed, his hair flaming a bit "No!" Redson sighed trying to calm himself down. "Why are we here anyways?" Mk asked and Sandy looked at him "Mr. Demon prince got a nice heart and decided to help us in here." Redson got annoyed by that "I AM NOT..UGHHHH" Redson groaned in annoyance and Mei giggled patting his head.

A few hours passed by and Ashlynn woke up, sitting up seeing Mk, Mei, Redson playing whatever they were playing and Sandy playing with Mo..Mk glanced at her "Hey ash!" Mk stopped playing with them and ran to her "Oh hey.." Ashlynn looked at him "so..Uhm, are you feeling okay?" Mk asked kinda flustered "Mhm.." Ashlynn hummed in response and looked away from him "So uh-" Mk was cut off by Redson speaking "So, we will have dinner, I think my parents have..finished dinner..so now I can sneak you all there." Redson said standing up, glancing at Mei before helping her up who immediately hugged him "tch.." redson scoffed "Oh yeah! I'm starving!!" Mk sighed rubbing his stomach "let's go then?" Mei looked up at him and Redson looked away and gave a nod.

.

They all followed Redson and Mei was holding his hand smiling happily "Stop holding my hand like we are a couple.." Redson mumbled blushing a bit Mei chuckled "We are not a couple Redboy! We are friends!" Mei giggled and Redsons heart kind of ached a bit but shook it off..

.

As they ate they didn't realize Redsons parents didn't eat breakfast yet.. "Mother..?" Redson looked shocked, but even more shocked because he was seen by his mother holding Mei's hand "Redson? Who are they?" PIF asked..looking at them as if judging them "Well mother as you can see-" But then, footsteps echoed in the room..Revealing the Demon king DBK he placed on the table a big pile of food he huffed and looked at them "who are these?" He raised an eyebrow "Father..uhm- these are my friends.." Redson cleared his throat letting go of Mei's hand "I'm Mei!" Mei looked up at him "That's Mk..Ashlynn, and Sandy.." Redson finished it for them.. "Your friends?" DBK asked and Redson shook his head "no- I..-" Mei cut him off "Yeah! We are his friends!" DBK looked at Mei "and youre his girlfriend?" mei looked shocked and blushed shaking her head "n-no.." "Father!! Don't ask those kinds of things!!" Redson blushed a bit looking away "I was just joking..Now let's take a seat and eat.." DBK spoke sitting on the largest chair across his wife.

.

As they ate..PIF looked at them "what are you all doing here anyways?" Mk looked at them "Oh we are looking for the samadhi fire rings!" That caught PIF, DBK, amd Redson shocked "What?!" Redson looked at Mk "That was your purpose?!" Redson looked disbeliefed.. "Yeah! You didn't know?" Mei looked at him and Redson shook his head. "Why are you looking for those?! Do you even know those rings and it's power?!" DBK looked at them, they nodded "Ashlynn explained it to us." Ashlynn sighed and gave a slight nod "Then why are you still after it?" PIF looked at them too "To defeat that bone lady" DBK sighed "Well, those fires are hard to contain..and..Who knows where the rings are..They are hidden too well.." DBK chewed his food..Ashlynn glanced at him, her eyes landing on his nose..It was the exact shape of the Samadhi fire ring..PIF told them a story that Redson was the one who created the Samadhi fire and didn't actually say who kept the rings..

.

After dinner, Redson made them rest in the guest room.. "Hey redson!" Mk looked at him "Can I have one more blanket? It's getting cold!" Redson looked at him, and scoffing finishing taking the petals off Mei's hair "And want warm milk with that?.." Redson looked annoyed, he was just joking Mk nodded "Yes please!" Redson groaned his hair bursting into flames "tch..Stupid peasants.." Redson stormed out.

.

As Redson left, Ashlynn sat up "I know where the first ring is located." Everyone turned their attention to her "Where?" Sandy asked "well, if you realized it..his father got a ring on his nose, it might be a design but no. I've been observing it since we ate dinner. And it is the Samadhi fire ring, I can see it clearly.." Ashlynn used her earth powers to make a dirt version of it. "Something like that, and I know you guys didn't pay much attention. But that's the ring, trust me." Ashlynn broke the ring turning it into small pieces of dirt. "but, how are we gonna steal it?" Mei asked Ashlynn looked at her "Were gonna make a plan. Mei, and Sandy will find a way to get out, and Me and Mk will go inside his parents room to steal it. And once we successfully get it, all of us will escape quickly." Ashlynn looked at thm and they nodded with a determined smile.

.

Ashlynn and Mk made their way to PIF and DBK's room.. "Where is it located?" Mk asked standing close to her, she looked around "we are probably close..I hear snoring" Ashlynn opened the door seeing DBK and PIF sleeping "shh..you get it, and I'll get my powers ready in case." Ashlynn looked at Mk and nodded who sneakily went in, he slowly took the ring off his nose which he successfully did..DBK woke up "H-hi.." Mk smiled akwardly and DBK noticed the ring and stood up, Ashlynn then used her winds powers to pull Mk back and they ran "THEIFS!!" DBK yelled..

.

Meanwhile, in the room Mei and Sandy was opening the vent area then, Redson entered dropping the blanket and milk "Wha-what are you guys doing?!" He yelled his hair bursting into flames Sandy looked at Mei "Sorry Redboy!" Mei punched Redson in the face making him fall unconscious. Mei and Sandy fled the area so did Ashlynn and Mk, they met at the other side of the place and ran. As they finally stopped at the middle of the dessert.. they sat down "Phew..!" Mei fell to the sand and laughed so did the others "We did it!" Ashlynn sighed as everyone laid on the ground "We got our first ring" Mk looked at the ring in his hands "I can't wait to tell pigsy and tang about this, and Monkey king too!" Sandy looked at the ring Mk was holding.. "But for now..Let's rest till morning.." Ashlynn spoke softly and they all fell asleep, as theh fell asleep, Ashlynn took the ring and made sure it was protected so no one can steal it while they rest..
