(In the Silken Web Cave, Spider Queen tears up her lab in rage. The Spider Demons watch, seeming uncomfortable.)
Spider Queen: I had the Monkey King's power! The city was mine! And I still lost.
Lady Bone Demon: My Queen, you will have your revenge. Now that we have the Trigram Furnace, it is time to take the next step towards your destiny.
Spider Queen: And how is that supposed to help? Actually better question. What is that?
Lady Bone Demon: The first of six powerful items that we will need. It must be retrieved from the Cloud.
Syntax: The Cloud? My Queen, allow me to break in and bring you this item.
Spider Queen: Oh really. And just how are you gonna do that?
(Syntax opens a holoprojection map of the Cloud.)
Syntax: The Cloud is a labyrinth of information, an unrivaled collection of knowledge guarded by fearsome beings who cannot be overcome by brute strength or the ability to follow footprints in mud. (Huntsman seethes.) However it is connected to all the technology in the world. Therefore I can exploit it. (He opens the app store.) Has anyone heard the story of the Sleep Bug?
(Across Megapolis, an advertisement for the "Sleepy Bug" app appears across phones and screens. At Pigsy's Noodles, Mei looks to her phone.)
Pigsy: That's it! I'm cutting ya' off until ya' clear this tab!
Mei: Sleep Bug? (She opens the game on her phone.)
(At Flower Fruit Mountain, MK watches as Monkey King packs a suitcase.)
MK: Whatta you mean vacation? (His phone buzzes. It's Sleep Bug. He throws the phone.)
Monkey King: Come on bud. I promised myself when I found a successor I'd go see some friends, take a tour of my old stomping grounds, just cut loose y'know. Ooh gonna need these. (He puts on a pair of sunglasses.)
MK: But you can't just leave! What if some one attacks the city. What if the Spider Queen comes back?!
Monkey King: Ah, you'll figure it out. It's adorable how nervous you are. But don't be! You've come a long way! And you know, the next step of your journey you must do alone.
MK: Alone?
Monkey King: But don't worry! I'll check in, give you some training tools, remote lessons, ah we'll figure it out. You'll be great. Don't worry! Monkey King out! (He blasts away on his cloud.)
MK: Fine! J-just leave! At least my friends will never abandon me!
(MK pulls into Pigsy's Noodles on his tuk-tuk. Everyone is asleep.)
MK: Can you believe Monkey King just-(The restaurant is empty.) My friends abandoned me... (Mei's asleep head knocks into his foot.) Oh thank goodness. Tang! Mei! Pigsy? Wake up! Cool, cool, cool. Okay. Everyone is asleep. Monkey King is gone. It's just me and my thoughts. All alone. This is fine.
(Syntax enters The Cloud. In Megapolis, everyone is asleep. MK pushes Pigsy around in a shopping cart.)
MK (narration): It seems like years since the big sleep hit. Months, weeks, possibly as much as half an hour. Time has become irrelevant.
MK (speaking as Pigsy): Chin up kid. You'll always have your Pigsy. And I'm not going anywhere, Son.
MK: Thanks, Dadsy. Agh- who is calling me? Oh wait! Aw it's just some game. (He opens his phone.)
Sleep Bug: Sleep Bug! Download it now from the Nap Store.
MK: Sleep Bug.(Gasps) What if this is somehow connected? Think MK. Everyone's asleep. They were all playing the game. The game is called Sleep Bug. The game put everyone to sleep! I have to delete that game. And games are stored at the uh- The Cloud! The Cloud! An unrivaled collection of all knowledge. That's it! Monkie Kid and his powerful brain as done it again!
(MK uses his staff to turn the garbage in his shopping cart into a motorcycle. It collapses, he taps it again transforming it into the Cloud Bike. He flies away on it, causing the cart to begin rolling backwards)
MK: Wish me luck, Dadsy! Here comes Monkie Kid!
(MK arrives at The Cloud.)
MK: No guards? Hmm, something is definitely up- (He phases through the door.) This is the worst day of my life. Woah! How am I gonna find the game. (The Sleep Bug laughs.) Ha! Red means bad! Uh, sometimes it means good. Dah, you know what that's probably it. Le-go! Where are you little bug! (MK chases the game around the library.) I'm gonna find you. A-ha! Found ya bug! Thanks for making it easy for me. Time to bring my friends back.
Syntax: Well, well, well. The one and only Monkie Kid. You should be asleep.
MK: Another person! Wait. One of Spider Queens goons! Wait why should I be asleep?
Syntax: Ugh, because of my Sleep Bug game? That sent the whole city to sleep.
MK: That was on purpose?!
Syntax: Of course! Now did I need to put the whole city to sleep just to incapacitate the two guardians here? Perhaps not. But, in for a penny in for a pound. Either way, you don't have the mental dexterity to debug my game. Your just a motherboard with a decent GPU and no central processing unit.
MK: Uh. G...P...whaaaat?
Syntax: A graphics processing unit. It means you look good and are well animated but you don't have any brains.
MK: Huh. Look I don't know what you're talking about but are we gonna fight or what.
Syntax: Hmmmm... no. I'm a big fan of outsourcing.(He awakens the Guardians of Knowledge.) While I'd love to hang around and chat, I have other things to attend to. You're about to be eviscerated by the ancient Guardians of Knowledge. So I guess were both pretty busy. Okay byeeeee! (He leaves.)
MK: Hey get back here!
Guardians of Knowledge: Only those marked in the great ledger of knowledge and time shall be deemed worthy to enter this temple of wisdom... and live. (They swing their spears at MK and chase him down the hall.) You are not on the ledger! You are not worthy!
MK: C'mon MK! You can do this. Self-confidence. That's Monkey King 101. Wait! I am worthy. Definitely worthy. I'm Monkie Kid, basically the new Monkey King. Might have heard of me. Y'know, the next chapter? I'm totally worthy!
Guardian of Knowledge (Orange): Irrelevant, you are not on the ledger.
Guardian of Knowledge (Teal): You are not worthy!
MK: Can I add my name to the ledger?! Like- can I sign up? Is that a thing?
Guardian of Knowledge (Orange): Of course.
Guardian of Knowledge (Teal): Knowledge is for everyone.
Guardian of Knowledge (Orange): Come on. Let's get you sorted out.
MK: Okay.
(MK types at a keyboard)
Guardian of Knowledge (Orange): And if you'll just enter your full name here.
MK: Oh? Yep. Okay. M...(gibberish) K...(gibberish).
Guardian of Knowledge (Teal): Hmph. That's a real mouthful.
MK: Yeah, no wonder I go by "MK" right?
Guardian of Knowledge (Orange): And print. (They press a button. A poorly printed library card for MK spits out.) Well you're just gonna love being a member. There's never a dull moment.
Guardian of Knowledge (Teal): Enjoy your time at The Cloud. Remember, we've got lots of books. It's not just-
MK: The game!
Guardian of Knowledge (Teal): Games.
Guardian of Knowledge (Orange): Oh don't be elitist you were playing that one today.
Guardian of Knowledge (Teal): So were you.
Guardian of Knowledge (Orange): I know. I'm so bad. We should read more
(MK chases down the Sleep Bug. )
MK: Aw man. That spider geek was right. I don't know how to un-hack this. What would Monkey King do? (He does an impression of Monkey King.) You can do this MK. It's time to stand on your own two feet bud.(He stops and picks up a book. He begins beating the Sleep Bug with it.) Ha-ha! I got it! Aw yeah! And they said being a nerd didn't have its advantages. Who's the GPU now!
(In Megapolis, the people begin to awaken.)
Civilian 1: Ugh...
Civilian 2: Wake up
Civilian 3: Uh, what's happening?
Civilian 4: Where are we?
(In the shopping cart, Pigsy rolls down a hill. He wakes up and screams in fear before crashing into a wall. In Pigsy's Noodles, MK sits with Tang and Mei. Pigsy is wrapped in bandages.)
MK: So even though I was all alone and had been completely abandoned by everyone, I used my brain and saved the whole city. I did great and there were no negative consequences at all.
(In the Silken Web Cave, Lady Bone Demon and the Spider Demons are waiting.)
Syntax: My queen.(He reveals the locked box, the Lady Bone Demon unlocks it with the skeleton Key, causing it to blow the Spider Demons away.)
Spider Queen: What is this?
Lady Bone Demon: A guide. A pathway to greatness. With this you will build your revenge one piece at a time. Five more items of power must be collected. And then... we shall forge your destiny.
