Chapter Text
Finally, after going through hell and back, putting blood, sweat, and tears into they're fight; Azure was officially defeated.
Back at Flower Fruit Mountain, MK sits on a cliffside, looking across the land. The sun starts to set, concluding another day of training.
"Nice job today bud!" Monkey King strides to MK and plops down next to him. "You sure like this spot, don'cha?"
MK sighs and cracks a smile, "Yeah, it helps clear my head, y'know?"
"Yeah," Wukong thinks for a second before frowning, "you still caught up about Azure?"
"Well, yeah that and..." He trails off and stares at his hands, he huffs while thinking about the events of Azure's end.
Sun Wukong tilts his head and puts the pieces together, "Ohh, don't worry about that! It was just—Ahh—heat of the moment stuff!"
"Mh.. Maybe, but..." He trails off and his hands drop lifelessly.
Wukong stands up, "Bahh, try not to get too into your head about it," he pokes MK's head, "besides, I'll help you control this new power! I am also a monkey! It'll be okay, trust me."
MK smiles widely and chuckles, standing up aswell, "Okay, I'll do my best."
"Now there's my MK!!" He pulls MK in a friendly headlock and ruffles his hair.
MK laughs loudly, "Haha! Okay okay!" He pushes him off and fixes his hair.
"Time for bed now kid, cya tomorrow," Wukong waves goodbye as he walks to his hut.
"Bye Monkey King!" MK waves, and jumps on his nimbus cloud and speeds back home.
Ever since Azure's attack, Mei and MK were gone most days. Mei trains with Redson, and MK with Monkey King. The shop gets quite lonely apart from MK clocking in to deliver noodles, and of course Tang.
"I just don't get it," Pigsy starts, stretching and rolling noodle dough, "what are they even training for?! We defeated both Azure Lion and that bone lady! What could possibly be a bigger threat than them that they'd need to be gone all the time!!"
"Well," Tang pushes up his glasses, "we said that about Lady Bone Demon, then Azure killed the Jade Emperor and almost destroyed the world! Plus, Mei has the Samahdi fire, and MK has that new monkey form, it makes sense for them to be training."
"Ugh." He drops the noodles in a big pot of boiling water, "I just think they could tone it down a little bit, I mean, training everyday seems so excessive. Nothing dangerous even happens anymore!"
"Pigsy..." Tang drops his chopsticks, "don't tell me you're feeling lonely, hmm??" He teases and leans over the counter.
"Wh– N-No!!" He pushes Tang back down into his seat, "I mean—It's quieter without them, but I just think they can put a little bit of that energy into the shop! Plus, I'm not lonley, you're here literally everyday."
"Aww, Pigsy!"
"Not a compliment." He turns back around and continues cooking.
Tang pouts and slumps in his seat, and finishes his bowl.
