| This is the End! << On the Run >> Great Grand Dragon of the East |
(During a flashback at the Celestial Realm, Monkey King tries dodging Ne Zha's attacks and spear. He notices the map.)
Monkey King: Finally, an opening. (He tries to grab the map, but the seal pushes him back.) Ugh, the ol' magical barrier trick. I should've seen that one coming.
Ne Zha: That seal is strong enough to protect the map from any who would steal it. Even you, Sun Wukong. Do you have any idea what you're doing?
Monkey King: Uh yeah, I'm the Monkey King. Trust me!
Ne Zha: Trust you? (Chuckles.) No. You ruined any chance of that long ago.
Monkey King: Honestly, Ne Zha, when did you stop being fun? (He rushes to get the map, but Ne Zha stops him and starts fighting him.)
Ne Zha: I alone should've been entrusted with keeping that map safe.
Monkey King: Somebody's sounding jealous!
Ne Zha: It was our solemn duty. Our oath was to protect this world from the Samadhi Fire!
Monkey King: Yeah well, something worse came along. Why do you think I need to use it? Come on!
Ne Zha: Out of respect for your past friendship with the great monk, I will allow you to leave this place safely. But the fire will remain unforged. Hidden. The map stays here.
Monkey King: I know you take your security job pretty seriously, but I do need the map. So you see the problem right? (He duplicates himself and the clones come at him and restrain him.) You want me to leave it, I want me to take it! Eh, it's a toughie.
Ne Zha: What? Don't do this!
Monkey King: I'm sorry, it's the only way.
Ne Zha: Wukong, that barrier is designed to protect that map at all costs. If you force your way through it, it could destroy us both!
Monkey King: Yeah, I know. But you gotta crack a few eggs to make an omelet.
Ne Zha: What? That doesn't mean you should! (Monkey King forces his way through it and successfully grabs the map, destroying the temple.) Wukong...
Monkey King: (Laughs.) Look Ne Zha, keep up the training. Who knows? Maybe one day, you'll be tough enough to beat me! (Lightning and wind strikes, and he notices that MK is in trouble.) Kid!
Ne Zha: Wukong, you idiot! You'll doom us all! (Monkey King escapes with his Magic cloud.) Wukong, you fool.
Tang: (Narrating.) It was then when the Lady Bone Demon played her final move. Even with the combined might of the Monkie Kid and the Monkey King, their all was simply not enough. The villain was victorious, plunging the world into darkness.
(The Dronecopter flies through a storm as it stops. MK is on the deck looking back.)
Tang: Now, any chance of hope lies in the hands of a monkey (Tang continues to write in his journal].) and a kid who wishes he was a monkey.
MK: (He groans.) Mr. Tang, would you quit it?
(The journal is snatched from Tang's hands by Pigsy. Tang gasps in anger.)
Pigsy: You've been reading your diary out loud literally all day. You're bummin' everybody out!
Tang: Hey! It's not a diary, I'm writing the next chapter. And very well too, I might add (He shows Pigsy the journal and flips to a page with a drawing of him a Monkey King in a heart.)
(Pigsy looks at his hand and realizes he's not holding the journal.)
Monkey King: Hey, as long as he wrote down that whole bit with me fighting Ne Zha and getting this bad boy, then we're good.
MK: I mean, the bit with the omelet thing, pretty cool.
Monkey King: Yeah, right? It was totally cool. Ha! Okay, gather around, everyone. It's Monkey King story time! So, I know what happened back there kinda sucked.
Mei: Mega sucked.
Monkey King: Mega sucked. But the ol' Great Sage had a trick or two up his sleeve.
Pigsy: Hmph. (Monkey King looks at him before continuing but suddenly the winds change, jerking the Dronecopter. The map goes flying and fortunately, MK catches it. They place a piece of metal on it this time.)
MK: Yeah, so you said you were looking for a weapon?
Monkey King: Yup.
Pigsy: And? Did you find it?
Monkey King: Nope. But this map is gonna help us track it down. It's called the Samadhi Fi—
Tang: The Samadhi Fire!
Monkey King: Yeah, that. The most powerful force I've ever seen.
MK: Powerful enough to destroy the Lady Bone Demon?
Monkey King: Mhm.
MK: But what is it?
Monkey King: (He is about to go on, but they all see Tang eagerly ready to spout everything out. He sighs.) Go on then.
Tang: Hoo-hoo, okay! Ahem. Legends speak of a flame so powerful that nothing could put it out. Not even the Great Sage himself.
Monkey King: That's right. The Samadhi Fire burned out of control. The only way to contain it was by splitting it into pieces, and scattering them so their flames could never be reforged.
MK: So, you just tossed around a bunch of fires instead of one?
Monkey King: (He groans.) And we put the pieces into three rings so they cause no further harm. Come on, do I have to spell everything out? (Everyone looks at MK, who ponders on his ignorance. Monkey King sighs.) Now, that the Lady Bone Demon has the staff and your powers, she's too much for us to handle. We can't stop her, she's going to destroy... well, everything.
Sandy: So, find the rings, combine them, and then what? You said the Fire of Somewhatsi couldn't be controlled.
Monkey King: Samadhi.
Tang: Yes, you did say that.
Pigsy: (Simultaneously.) Yep, I heard him. I heard it too.
MK: Hey, if Monkey King thinks this can work, then it'll work! We can do this.
Monkey King: Yes! That's more like it!
(A blast fires down on the ship. A jet flyer emerges from behind it.)
Pigsy: The Lady Bone Demon?! How did she catch up to us already?!
Monkey King: Oh no.
(MK remembers his lost powers, but stays determined anyways.)
Macaque: Oh, Wukong! (He laughs.)
MK: Macaque?!
Monkey King: Oh, that's a relief. I thought it was someone important.
Macaque: Heh, always the comedian. Hey kiddo, ya miss me?
MK: No! Guys, get us outta here!
Mei and Tang: Right!
(Macaque fires at them as they try to escape.)
MK: Monkey King, you've gotta do something!
Monkey King: So… yeah, I'd love to, but I kinda sort of used the last bit of my powers getting this. (He points at the map.)
Macaque: (He catches up and fires at both of them before disappearing.) Hoo hoo, looking a little banged up there, Monkey King. The kid too. Looks like our old friend, the Lady Bone Demon, really did a number on you guys.
Monkey King: So what? You're her puppet now? I mean, makes sense. You did always have a side-kick kinda vibe.
Macaque: (He dives in at them from behind and they barely dodge away. He jumps down on Monkey King and pins him down.) You know me, as a new player in town, I'm just feeling out which one is the winning side. (He sees MK leap at him from behind with a pipe, and kicks Monkey King away to catch him.) Not smart, bud.
Monkey King: Kid!
Macaque: (He quickly summons the Shadow Monkeys to hold Monkey King down.) The two of you are such a mess. I can't imagine why the Bone Demon wants me to bring you back. (He turns to MK.) Look at you, you're all used up. (He's about to finish him when a blast shoots at him. He dodges and the blast expels out the Shadow Monkeys holding down Monkey King. Macaque looks back and sees Mei.) Interesting. (She continues to blast at him.)
Mei: You want to get to my monkeys, you gotta go through me first!
Macaque: Ah, you must be the Dragon Girl I've heard so little about. Little girl, you can shoot me all you want. It won't do you any good.
MK: Maybe not. But hey, you want to make an omelet, sometimes you gotta break a few engines.
Macaque: Uh, what?
MK: I-I don't know. I thought it was cool. Just— whatever! (He throws the piece of metal at Macaque, who casually dodges it.)
Macaque: Whoa, didn't see that one coming.
(However, it flies into one of the burners, which explodes, tipping the Dronecopter over. Macaque goes flying.)
Monkey King: Kid, why did you—
MK: Uh, well yeah, I-I was trying to do you in the omelet story. Do the weird, impulsive Monkey King thing and escape the bad guy?
Monkey King: Well, I mean, Ne Zha ain't really a bad guy, but... did you forget about the part where I got really hurt?
(At this point, all the burners have been set aflame.)
Sandy: Hold onto your bricks, everyone!
(They break through the storm and fall out towards the ocean.)
