Meeting the Truth

Should've Never Done So.

Opening his eyes, he found himself in the familiar void he was in before. He let the surroundings shift to the stone both him and Wukong were born from. That would make them brothers, right? He'd like that, being brothers with the Monkey King who's also his mentor.

"You're back." He heard a voice- no, his voice behind him, he turned to see Us.

"You wanted answers, right?" Mk nodded, Us hummed, before shaking his head

"...what?"

"I'm not gonna give you answers. You already know them, you know our destiny!" Mk groaned. He didn't, he understood the sacrifice part (barely) but what he's sacrificing himself for? Nope. Us rolled his eyes.

"I thought you already knew it, turns out your brain still doesn't wanna show you, but don't worry, I'll show you." The scene shifts once again, changing the once wholesome atmosphere, to a dark, suspenseful one. A hooded person walked up to Monkey Kings stone, standing in front of it, he spoke.

"Such a sad fate. I won't allow that though, destiny will not have a grasp on you, child. When the time comes for you to restart the reincarnation cycle and end this world, it will be your choice on how you will do so. Cower or face it." Wait, end the world?! Also who was this guy?!

"I do feel sympathy for you, but sadly, you are a part of a bigger plan I have, a plan that will finally allow me to have freedom! All you have to do is choose your own destiny, yet it will always lead to one thing. Chaos." Was.... Mk made just to, end the world? Is that his destiny?

"We aren't called the Harbinger of Chaos for nothing." Us interrupted.

"We're literally the 'Bringer of Chaos.'" Wait, wouldn't that mean that Mk would technically be a villain? Someone who was meant to reign destruction in this world? Would that mean he's....

"A monster. That's what we are." Ah, so he was correct. He didn't wanna be that though, he didn't wanna be that at all.

"Are you scared?"

"Yes."

"Of what we are?"

"...Yes."

"Don't be, just accept it." He didn't want to, but he also didn't want to admit that either.

"it's our destiny! It's not like we have a choice." Us raised his hand out towards Mk, he looked at it skeptically. 

"So let's embrace our destiny." Mk jumped back, he wanted to yell, he wanted to refuse, he didn't want to fulfill his destiny. 

He will not!

"Who said you had a choice?" Us grinned as the world around him started to crack and wither, he felt something tug at his wrist and pin him down.

Chains... oh, he never had a choice, did he?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sun Wukong, Great Sage Equal to Heaven, had no idea what to do in this situation. His successor, his little brother, was currently going on a rampage and ignoring any sort of attempts to calm him down. He dodged a flying boulder that was aimed at him.

"Mk! Calm down!" He could hear the kid's friends trying to help, but it was like he couldn't hear them at all! He dodged another attack that was aimed at him, gods, Wukong could barely get a good look at him with how fast he was moving! He grunted when he was suddenly punched in the gut by his successor, which finally gave him the ability to take a good look at him.

He was a monkey.

WAIT WHAT.

Wukong dodged the second punch, which was now aimed at his face, and tackled his successor to the ground while still trying not to hurt him. What he saw was right, Mk was a monkey!! His tail lashed and his fur was sticking up in odd places, he looked feral. Without any warning or prompting, he was slammed to the ground. He grumbled before parrying Mk's punch.

"Cmon bud! Please tell me you're still there!" Sharp claws dug into his arm and he was thrown into a nearby building.

"Ouchhh, cmon cmon... What to do? What to do?!" Wukong looked around but failed to catch a glimpse of Mk. Where was he? Where could his currently feral little brother have gone? He was about to use gold vision but-

PUNCH

He yelped when he was suddenly punched in the back, sending him flying into yet another building. Even though he was practically an angry cat right now, he still had some sort of retained memories if he's able to sneak up on Wukong and not just straight up attack him. He gathered himself quickly and leaped out of the way of Mks attack, that seemed to be aimed at his head once again.

He pinned Mk to the ground and they tussled for a bit, before Wukong finally got the advantage and increased his hold on his little brother.

"HEY! Hey! Mk, look at me." That sort of got his attention, but he looked more like he wanted to rip off Wukongs face than have any sort of civil conversation.

"Cmon bud! How bout we relax, sit down, and try to figure out why you wanna attack me so bad!" He jumped when a feral hiss was aimed at him from a slit eyed teenager, the kids lashing tail hit him a few times but he paid no mind to it.

"Please bud, how about we just calm down and talk! How does that sound?" A low growl told him that his successor wasn't so keen on chilling out. Bared fangs were shown and Wukong was promptly kicked in the gut. He used his cloud to steer away from another attack, it looked like Mk was trying to bite him, honestly he wouldn't be so surprised since with how feral he was acting.

Mk lunged at him again, this time, he grabbed his successor and pinned him. He may have been to aggressive because he heard a grunt come from him, then a feral his and a bite to his arm- 

"OW!" He so desperately tried to get Mk to unlock his jaw, but nothing worked, the kid had one hell of a bite! he used Mks weight to loosen his hold as he fell back, which worked, now he was free!! He flipped and landed upwards, he watched Mk for any moves he may be planning.

But he didn't move, he simply stared, his eyes still slits and his breathing heavy. Wukong stared back, unsure of what to do in this situation. He noticed how his tail was hung limp behind him, maybe he tired himself out, if he did that would be pretty helpful right about now.

Mk promptly fell to the ground, barely keeping himself from face planting. Monkey King quickly rushed over to go check on his successor.

"MK!" He lowered himself to his brothers height and saw the tears flow from his eyes.

"I'm sorry, I-I'm so s-sorry." He mumbled out through gasps of air. Wukong faltered at the pathetic state of his successor. He hesitantly wrapped his arms around the kid and hugged him, allowing him to cry into his shoulder.

NOTES: I don't really like this chapter, i never write battle scenes and the meeting with Us made no sense, i might rewrite this whole chapter if i get ideas on how to actually write it. Tips would be appreciated!
