One bowl of Spicy Noodles

Chapter 7

DBK lets out a loud, chilling laugh, shaking the room. Red Son stands before him, but this time he's terrified. The Demon Bull King, his Father, is clearly infuriated with him. He'd surely be dead if he wasn't still useful.

"Well, well, well, I'm willing to forgive this little incident since you've presented me with some vital information. Good work. Honestly, I don't know what granted the thought that you should have left in the first place! It would have been a very poor, idiotic choice."

A louder, more drawn-out laugh fills the room, taunting Red Son.

"It-It will never happen a-again, father."

"Good. Now, get back to work. You have a lot to catch up on."

Red Son walks back to his workplace, knowing he can't disobey his father. He's got no choice in the matter... though, he can do something to help the others. He can destroy the machines that built the Demon Bull King's army, thus ensuring no large amounts of harm can happen at different places. As long as nothing can further harm MK... harm anyone... his sacrifice will be worth it.

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

MK and the others arrive, knowing that this won't be easy. Though, with some luck, they won't be fighting DBK. They'll grab Red Son and maybe blow up their biggest plan and stop something before it starts. Their plan is simple. Mei is the getaway ride and Plan B, Pigsy and Tang make sure the getaway ride doesn't get hurt, Sandy is going to be the extra muscle in case of danger, and MK is going in and getting out while destroying the armory and halting any progress that DBK is making. How are they going to destroy that giant factory? Easy. Mei's Dragon Bomb. It can be held in your hand, but it's the equivalent of sixty sticks of dynamite. Why did she make that big of a bomb? As a last resort. Mei doesn't show it, but she is terrified that they'll get into a fight they can't win, so she has that. Because if she's going down, she's taking somebody with her. MK and the others all agree that she really needs to tone it down with the weapons. MK gets in, traveling through the vents, trying his best to sneak around. Then, he sees Princess Iron Fan.

"Honestly, I can't believe he got out of punishment! The stupid boy should have at least gotten hit... and now his tinkering can be heard from every corner of this damned place."

MK waits for a moment, seeing her fill with rage.

"You, damned scrap metal! Go to my son and tell him to keep quiet! I know he's annoying, but he shouldn't be so insufferable."

MK follows the robot, popping out of the vents and tailing close behind. It doesn't take long for MK to be in the large factory, full of hot metal and smoke. Then, MK sees Red Son. Well, sees him tearing through the wiring of a large panel. Then, he moves frantically to the next, pushing a button, and then the machines smoke up more. They... They're twitching, breaking, and some tear themselves apart. MK moves towards Red Son, watching as he throws the robot into one of his machines, jamming it and causing more smoke. Then, Red Son turns towards MK's direction, terrified, then both surprise and ease take his face.

"M...K?"

"You look surprised! What? Did you think I'd leave you here? Not in a million years-"

MK gets cut off, completely surprised at Red Son's action. He... he's hugging MK. Willingly hugging him, and tightly too. Like if he were to let go the two would never see each other again... or maybe he just really missed him? Like they hadn't seen each other in years, but it's been less than a day... MK doesn't think about it further, he just hugs back, feeling Red Son Shaking.

"Red, it's okay, I'm here now. We'll get you out of here, everyone's worked hard to get you back."

"But it's not okay and you shouldn't have!"
