Chapter Text
Rage.
Rage also known as frenzy or fury is an intense, uncontrolled feeling that only increases if the Person or someone close to said Person is injured, Mentally or physically.
People who experience Rage usually feel high adrenaline in Their entire Body.
This raises their Physical strength, endurance Level and sharpens the person senses, while in this stage the Person loses all rational thinking and acts without any thought of the consequences they may have caused, or will face in the Future.
Rage.
can also increase if the Person receives Injustice.
-
And that is all I can feel now.
I feel the Fire as it slowly engulfs me...
Everything I can think of now,
It feels like it's consuming me alive...
It feel's unbearable
I feel my Eyes starting to water as I hug myself...
I don't want to feel like this anymore but...even if I try to get rid of this feeling, I can't.
It feel's like I'm drowning in these emotions...Confusion and Rage.
My arms are lifting to grab my shirt tight as I cry inside of the Fire Ball...
But even with all these emotions fogging my Mind, theres a small thought thats keep repeating itself over and over and over again...
-
Let them know, It says.
No, I say to the Mysterious Voice talkin.
Its their fault, They're Voice says firmly.
My Hands are slowly unclenching themselves from their grip on my shirt as the Voice keeps talking...where does the Voice come from?
Let go.
I can't... I'll hurt my friends, I woulnd't be able to Live with myself knowing what I did.
My breathing gets more frantic.
...Even if it was accidentally, I would never be able to face them again.
It may be because im part Dragon...Dragon's are known for They're undying Loyalty towards Beings that they concider Family, even if those People Hurt them they would still Love them and be Loyal to them till their bitter end.
That's probably why my Great-Great-Great and a thousand times Great Gradfather was Loyal towards Them, the People who were the reason that He was stuck with the Samadhi Fire...The same Fire Im now stuck with now.
Your so-called friends are letting this happen to you, I hear the Voice appear again.
Please stop...I don't want this!
I raise my Arms to grab my Hair.
I don't want to Feel like this anymore.
They're letting the Fire go out of control .
Stop...please.
I feel the tears continue to fall down my Face.
They're letting Me get out of control.
Be Quiet!
I yell out while raising my Arms to cover my Ears.
They're letting you get hurt.
Stop, it's Okay...as long as they don't come near Me and get hurt during the process.
Because of HIM, Sun Wukong, The Monkey King, Great Sage equal to Heaven.
…
The very same Person who got youre Gradfather hurt, Ao Lie.
I know.
They care more about HIM than they'll ever care about you.
…
Its HIS Fault,its HIS Fault that I am in Pain, if it wasn't for HIM we woulnd't even be here right now.
This all could of been prevented!
EVERYTHING
Sandys ship getting destroyed, my Great- Great- Great and a Thousand Times Great Uncle getting Hurt while trying to protect us from Macaque...
Its even His fault that Macaque is in Lady Bone Demons Debt!
I clench my teeth together from Anger...letting my Arms fall to my side with clenching fists.
Anger at Me for even trusting that Simian...
Anger at my Friends for trusting that for no good Monkey.
Anger at MK for even finding that cursed Staf...
Dragging us into Advuentures that are just a disguse for Wukongs mistakes from the Past coming to bite MK instead.
...and Anger at Redson for being the reason this Fire even exists.
If it wasn't for Him being unable to control the Fire He created I woulnd't be in this situation right now!
...
I finally let the Thought go free...
The Thought to let my Emotion Loose, to make everyone feel the Pain that they caused...
To make them feel my Wrath.
To make THEM feel the Fire THEY created burning inside of Me.
-
,,WE TRUSTED YOU, ALL OF US !,, , Mei starts yelling.
The Fire gets stronger with each word escaping her Mouth.
,,HOW COULD YOU LEAD US INTO THIS FIGHT WITHOUT A REAL PLAN ?!,
TIME AND TIME AGAIN I WATCH YOU PUT MK IN DANGER LEAVING HIM TO FIGURE OUT EVERYTHING ON HIS OWN!,, , She cried out.
As soon as those words fell from her mouth I could see tears forming around her eyes, the Tears I caused.
I feel myself shivering at that sight.
Seeing such a strong Person cry...seeing His, my Loyal Companion's Descendant tears just bring Distress to the People around them.
Even while being in Pain...Ao Lie has never cried infront of anyone.
Keeping his pain in the Shadows so that noone would worry about Him, I truly do admire Him.
,,DONT YOU REALISE YOU'RE HURTING THE PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT YOU THE MOST!?,, , Mei screams while raising her arms to grab her head .
Mei screamed seemingly to no one but herself.
But I knew that she shouted it at Me.
I deserve it...
I see her engulfed in the Fire, knowing that it Hurts too.
I again let someone get Hurt because of my Actions...
But still, all I can do is watch, watch as she is destroying Herself from the Inside out.
My mouth falls open and I feel my stance wavering.
Again...will I lose somebody because of the Fire, I was supossed to keep sealed.
I want to move my Feet and run to her to get rid of the Fire that's Hurting her.
I let the same Fire that Killed Him, get His Descendant.
Yet with all these thoughts in my head, I don't do anything and just watch her get Demolished by the Fire.
My Eyes move to the painfully similar Dragon silhouette forming out of Fire before my sight.
...Its my Fault...
I know it is, he may have argued that it wasn't but...that's a Lie.
If it wasn't for me getting distracted and cocky the Fire woulnd't have escaped from my grasp, it woulnd't have headed towards Master...
He woulnd't have been hit.
He would still be here...at my side.
He would stilll be alive...
I can still remember how even on his death Bed, He woulnd't get agressive...how even then His voice was still so calm, How He even made sure that I was Happy...make Me belive that I did everything in my Power to stop the Fire from escaping.
Make Me belive that I did nothing wrong.
Talk me into looking towards the Future rather than the past, and explaining to me that everything cant stay the same...that change is apart of Life.
I can still feel His Hands holding my Face gently as we both layed down on the grass after a Battle against some Demon trying to Kidnap Master again...
He was always good at making everyone feel okay after a Battle, He probably felt obligated to Help us is any way after a Battle concidering that He just like Master would'nt Fight.
Its obvious why Master liked Him the most, I did too...
And now...His Descendant will suffer the same fate He has...
..Because of Me...
Maybe now...trough Mei he will be able to tell me what He really felt.
When those words fell from her mouth, she had fully succumbed to the fire inside of her.
I feel the Fire get stronger.
Jet again will I loose someone because of the Fire...MK will never forgive Me.
Not that i'll will anyway...
,,She is completely out of control,, Macaque sais while looking up at the Fire ball floating above us,standing up Macaque added while screaming ,,If there is a time to go,it's now!,,
I nearly forgotten that He was even here, I was too distracted by my thoughts...
,,NO! Mei is my Best Friend!,, , I hear MK saying to Macaque behind me ,, Id never abandon Her if she needs me!,,
Atleast MK is a better Person than Me.
As MK spoke those words I glance behind me making eye contact with Macaque for a moment and see Macaque stare right back at me, In his Eyes I can see his Pain...He probably rememberd our Friendship...In just a flash I can see us back at Flowerfruit Mountain before...well everything.
Before my persue to become Immortal, before meeting Azure and the others, before my fight with the Jade Emperor...
Both of our faces wearing the expressions of sorrow , for a moment we hold eye contact but I was the one who broke it casting my gaze toward MK,I couldn't keep looking at his face I don't deserve it after what I did,- ,,Were Heros its what we do!,, , announced MK spreading his arms out.
Youre a Hero Wukong!
...Ao lie?
Even if all Hope seems to be lost, you still try!
I admire that about yuo...I hope that I will someday be the same as you.
My gaze softens at the Memory...you dont want that Trust Me.
Hes right Brother!, I hear Wujing say resting his spade on his shoulder looking at me with a Smile.
He always was the Kindest out of our group...
Don't compliment that Mokey brother!, I hear Bajie yell, rather Compliment Me!, He says puffing his chest out.
Even if we argued a lot, He still was one of my dearest Friends.
Well even if Im Thankful l, I do wish that you would of have dealt with this Deamon peacefully, Master tells Me with a Soft smile.
I feel tears sting my eyes, but I wont let them fall...I refuse them to see me like this...
Weak.
Theyre wrong tho...all of them, I am no Hero I dont deserve that Title.
I havent for a long Time but...I still, I won't just sit here and do nothing!
With this I can maybe honour our Promise.
As MK says that I quickly get my composer together again,right now we have other more important matters at hand than my Problems.
,,AHHHHHHHH,,
All of our gazes quickly return to Mei as she cried out in Pain stretching Her arms out, at that moment I feel another force wave coming to hit us.
After that Macaque quickly created a shadow portal leading to God 's nowhere, and flees the scene, as Peng would say :
Macaque is a Coward!
And he says that I'm the one who always runs away from my Mistakes, Hes the Reason as to why the Fire is out.
,,AHHH,, I make out a painful scream from Wujing Blue Guy on the other side of the Mountain Top.
,,Macaque is right we must Leave,, , Nezha notes as he sees Mei has reached above her critical stage , ,,Theres no saving the Girl!,, . Nezha added.
There is no savig him!
I know that he is right, He is always right, even if it means leaving Mei alone and possibly dying in the fire, I can't let MK or the others get hurt-,not again, from the corner of my eye, I can only see MK bolting into the fire toward Mei.
I quickly try to grab his Arm but I couldn't get a good grip on it before he shoved it away.
,,KID!,, , I called out to MK before They ran into the Fire.
Please Wukong...It wasn't youre Fault.
... I can't belive Him because, it is my Fault.
-
I felt myself get hit by the Samadhi fire.
,,MEI!,You have to stop!,, I tried calling out to her while also trying to run up to her.
I can't loose her!
I felt another Fire wave hit me,pushing me back and making me nearly fall to the ground.
,,I know that youre are upset!,, , I tried again reaching out for her,I know that she is still inside!,hearing me she just needs a little Help!-,,And thats Okay!,, I reassured Her.
,,I know what its like to have a power you dont know how to control!,, ,I yell Hoping that she hears me.
-
My arms tremble as they try to hold my weight,I look down terrefied as the Demon bull King was freed from His Prison.
I wasnt really paying attention to the Bird thinking it would fly away,but little did I know the Bird was jumping to my Hands that are currently grabing the Pipe before me,as I noticed I tried to get the Bird ot fly away.
,,get away!,, I say while holding a bag full of Noodles in my Mouth.
The Bird looked at me funny and started to peck my Hand with its Beak,I hear the Deamon Bull Family continuing they little family reunion while also trying to get the Bird to fly away.
Before I noticed I feel my grip losing around the Pipe and fell head first to the Ground.
,,oughhh,, , I groan while rubbing my Head,I looked before me and saw Princess Iron fan,The Demon Bull king and dozens od Demon Bull Robots sorrounding me.
,,Hehehe,somone orderd some Noodles?,, , I say while holding the Bag.
,,GET OFF ME YOU IDIOT!,, I hear yelled under me from the Red demon.
Because of the Demons sorrounding me I dindt notice that i fell ontop of the Red haired demon.
,,DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID YOU RUIND MY MOMENT!!!,, He screamed at me.
,,A little eavesdropper has fallen into our mits,, The Demon Bull King started.
Bending down he said ,,Its seems a waste to thrusts something so insignificiant as my first and as a Ruler of this New World but-,,He slowed down while raising his Foot ,,So be it,,
After he said that, I came to terms that ill be dying, thats probably why I stopped listening them talk about my demise even after the Red haired Demon stopped him.
I saw that The Demons now were focoused on eachother I tried to make an escape.
,,In some ways youre very fortunate Noodle boy,, the Red headed Demon said.
I shuffeld on the ground away from the Demon,but then I felt an Object hit my Lower Back.
I turned around and saw the Monkey King staff lying on the ground behind me.
I hear a stomp before me ,,ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME!?,, He yelled at me, ,,I REDSON WILL NOT BE DISRESPECTED!,, Now Redson shouted, ,,YOURE HISTORY!,, , He yelled.
He swung his robotic gloved hand back and then directed it at me full-on.
,,AHHHH,, ,I yelled terrefied for my life,with nothing to defend myself I picked up the nearest thing and put it infront of me.
,,n-no way,, , I heared infront of me,scared but curious I slowly opend my Eyes and saw-, ,,How could you pick up MONKEY KING STAFF,,
-
Even without beliving Me at first that the Staf was really Monkey Kings, she still supported Me.
I started screaming at her while taking a step towards ,,Could feel like the Fate of the World is in youre Hands!?,,
-
,,And Ill get the Furnace.,, I announced to the others.
,,On youre o-,, , Before pigsy could finish I was already on my way to the Jade Kings castle.
I need to do this...
-
She helped Me belive in Myself and in my friends, Helped me to put Trust in my Friends and Her.
I take another step to her ,,And you have no idea what to do?,, ,I feel another Fire wave hit me.
-
,,Its Okay MK,, I heared Mei say calmly, ,,We got this,we can Beat her,,-,,SHE beat the MONKEY KING Mei!,, I interrupted her, ,,WE DONT GOT THIS!,, I said angrily at Mei.
After I said those words and saw Mei i felt guilty for yelling at Her,Its not Her fault that I dindt Help Monkey King against the Spider Quenn...
,,Im sorry..I just..,, ,I started apologizing, ,,I dont know what to do..,, ,I said to her and at the same time sat down on the floor...
-
Even when I directed all of my Anger at her she still stayed by my side...
,,But youll always have my back and help me through it!,, ,I take another step.
I started remembering all the Times Me and Mei fought against any kind of Demon,go against any kind of challange...
-
Mei and Me look at eachother before running toward Princess Iron Fan to try and get the Key back.
…
,,Let's Help a Demon rob the Celestial Realm!,, I say frimly looking at my Friends.
Feeling Mei supportive gaze as I announce the Plan.
…
,,PIGSY I CHALLANGE YOU!,, I say screaming pointing the Ping-pong paddle at Pigsy.
,,You haha..., Pigsy Laughs, If you step up to Me youre gonna LOOSE!,, I hear Pigsy yell.
I feel air rush beside Me, ,,Yep okay, you know this might actually be the one scenerio where not being able to see puts me at a bit of a disadvantage.,,
,,Mk youre an Idiot...,, I hear Mei behing.
Even while saying that, I still know that she meant it affectionally.
I can keep counting on Her for that!
…
,,We will figure this out-,, I started shouting to her and taking my final step I stretch my Arms to her.
,,TOGETHER!,, , I screamed while Hugging her.
Suddenly I felt the Heat dissapear around us and feel Mei slowly moving her arms to Hug me back while starting to silently sniffle.
For a moment Me and Mei just stand there, Hugging each other.
It was so quiet you could hear the wind blowing, The only sound that broke the silence was Mei silently crying.
I won't loose her!
Suddenly Mei pushed me back, Suprised I asked ,,..Mei?,, , Taking a step back.
Whats going on, is She Hurt?
I look over Her trying to find where shes been burned but the only thing I can see are her Burned clothes and her crying Face.
I slowly stretch my Arms towards her, waiting for a sign from her so that I can Hug her again.
Why does it look so easy when Mei is doing this?
,,I cant!,, , Mei started saying while still crying ,,I dont want to Hurt you...Any of you!“
Mei finished.
Hugging Herself while still shivering, indicating that she is still pretty shaken up about what happend.
At the same moment a circle of Fire was appearing around Mei and the The Rings were also being coverd in fire while slowley floating up.
Is She doing this on purpose or is it subconsciously?
,,Mei wait!-,, I started calling out to her, before getting interrupted by Mei floating above the ground.
Mei looked at me and finally said,
,,Im Sorry.,,
And with that she flew with the three Rings into the sky out of our sight to never be seen again.
The only thing that indicated that Mei was there was a streak of Fire following her, the further she got the more she looked like a Red shooting star rather than a Big Fire Ball.
,Mei,, I say while being out of breath, suddenly I feel Light headed and fall backward.
luckily Sandy has caught me in time with Tang and Pigsy sitting down beside me, all sharing the same look as me the look of hopelessness.
Slowly standing up with the help of Tang and Pigsy, I say ,,We have to go after Mei!,,
,,Kid! youre in no state of going anywere.,, , Pigsy stated to Me while looking at me as if it hurts to even say that.
I angrily go tell him ,,But the samadhi fire!-,,
,,should've burnt the Dragon Girl to ashes by now.,, ,Nezha said while interrupted me.
,,And yet it hasnt, wich is curious.,, Nezha tells us thoughtfully while bringing His Hand up to grab his chin.
,,What do you mean? You know for People not paying attention,, Sandy asks while bringing his fingers together at the same time Pigsy, Tang and Me follow suit.
,,It means,, , Nezha started explaining ,,That there was method to Sun Wukongs madness after all,, Nezha tells us while looking back at Monkey King who is standing close to the Cliffside, looking down.
What is he thinking about?
,,if she can learn to control the fire, the Power could truly be used in defeating the Lady bone demon.,, He finished explaining turning his focus back to us.
,,So all we gotta do is get Mei some fire Training? Thats Easy!,, I vocalized thinking about Red son potentially helping Her , ,,All the more resons to go after her!,, I announce pointing to where Mei flew off.
,,Theres no time for that...,, Monkey King suddenly speaks up , ,,Now that the samahdi fire was forged the Lady Bone demon will stop at nothing to optain it,, He voiced,slowley turning his body towards us.
Please dont say what I think youre going to say...
,,If we come unprepaired we may aswell give Mei over to her now!,,
I slowly look down saddend at the thought.
,,No, I shouldve done wthat I did originally defeat the Lady Bone demon... alone ,, Monkey King announced while slowly walking away from us towards the cliffside.
,,WHAT?,, I yell at him, Is he crazy? Before this whole journey even started He said the only thing that could stop her was the samahdi fire!... did he lie?
,,Ive beaten her before!Ill,, He stutterd holding his arm with his ither Hand ,,ill do it again!,,
Turning his head to me he started ,,Im sorry bud...but youll have to sit this one out,,
Before I could even tell him how crazy this Idea was he jumed of the mountain onto his cloud and vanished.
Presumingly towords the Bone Mech where Lady bone Demon and the definitly not Mayor were staying.
Why does He keep doing stunts like these?
,,IF ONE MORE OF MY FRIENDS FLYS OFF TODAY IM GONNA LOOSE IT!, THE ONLY WAY TO WIN IS TOGETHER! ITS MONKEY KID 1O1!,, I cry out while turning to the rest of the people who are still on the mountain.
Its True...Mei and I always stick together and because of that we always come out victorious!
,,If monkey king is fighting the Lady Bone demon the chances of him surviving are very slim,, Nezha tells us while rolling over to us on his Rings.
,,And what are the chances of Mei not buring the world down with the samahdi fire?,, I questioned while rubbing my cheek to get rid of the dirt,hopefully very slim so that we can get the Monkey king back before anything bad happens..
,,less slim?,, Nezha awnserd with uncertain.
Perfect.
,,Then its decided we have to go after the Monkey King.,, , I say turning towards the cliffside to where Monkey King flew off.
,,You guys go well only slow you down!,, Tang said cherfully at Me.
I can always count on Him, always seeing the good in thing even if it may seem impossoble.
,,Yes the Three of us will hop on T.E.A and track down Mei!,,Sandy said with firmness in his voice.
Sandy is always so Hopeful, I hope that I can someday be like that.
,,You show`em what youre made of Kid!,, Pigys says putting his Hand on my Shoulder.
From the very First day he was always at my side, being somewhat of a Father Figure to me...
,,I just LOVE you guys so much!,, Sandy tells us lifting us all up into his Arms.
I look at all of them with a soft smile, Im really lucky to have Friends like them.
Before going into Nezhas Mech(?)Pigsy gave Me his jacket.
,,take it, itll probably be cold to where youre going.,,Pigsy says while holding his jacket out for me.
I take it while smiling fondly at him.
This reminds Meto where Pigsy gave Me my bandana...he dindt even question where I came from not that I know, but still I can count on him for looking out for Me.
Before getting into the Mech I run up to him and Hug him.
Me and Nezha get into the Mech and fly with the Goal to get Monkey King back.
-
I dindt know where I was flying when I suddenly crashed onto the ground destroying everything around me creating a hole.
For awhile I just sit there, in the crater I have created...
For a while I just sat there and tried to get a grip on myself before I destroy anything else with this Fire!
Why? Why did this Happen to Me?...did I do something wrong in my previous life to deserve this?...
I just want to go Home...Home...
I want to see my Parents again,I havent seem then in weeks!...
And for what?, to forge a fire that could possibly Kill me and the entire world!
The Lady Bone Demon also probably already knows that it was forged and is now sending somone to get Me!
And that is all that...that...
,,THAT MONKEY FAULT,,
I yell without realising, I quickly put my Handy above my Mouth in an attempt to quiet the echo.
.
..
...
Nothing,the only sound are Bird chirping and wind blowing.
...I should probably go for all I know the LBD lackey is already on its way I should get a Head start.
Just becaouse that Monkey left me quiet littlery to the wolves dosnt mean I am goint out without a fight!
Looking up determined, I stand up inside the crater.
I am an Dragon, a little fire isnt going to hurt me!
I`ll show them! I will be able to control the Fire, and defeat LBD with it!
-
In another part of the forest the Gang are driving the T.E.A looking for Mei.
,,MEIIIIII WHERE ARE YOUUUUUUU!!!!,, I screamed.
,,KID WHERE ARE YOU!?,, Pigsy shouted after Me , ,,are you sure she is somewhere around here Sandy?,, facing Sandy.
,,Yup,if my assumtion are correct!,, Sandy awnserd Pigsy , ,, or atleast something will be here...,,
,,SOMETHING?!,, Pigsy yells, Sandy retords back ,,Well I havent exsacly programmed the T.E.A to tell me who the Person is..just that there IS a person.,,
Before Pigsy can argue with Sandy again they suddenly hear a sound from the Bushes.
We all get out of the T.E.A and stand in a Fighting stance.
We have come a Long way, a little Demon isnt gonna stop us from finding Mei!
I look with the new found determination towards the Bushes expecting a demon to come out and attack us!
,,Hel-,, Before they could finish Pigsy yelled, ,,GET HIM,, and with that Sandy and Him are jumping up to fight the Person walking out of the bushes.
,,WHAT NO!,,
huh this voice seems familiar wait...I look closer and see familiar Red hair styled in a Pony tail.
,,GUYS WAIT ITS,, I yell but I was too late.
,,TANG WHAT IS IT-oh...hehe,, Pigsy screams before realising who they attacked.
,,hehe...,, Pigsy sheepishly laughs while He and Sandy get off of the Person they attacked.
Stepping back towards Me without even showing any kind of sign that they were going to Help him up.
I look over to them with a Fac that clearly shows how upset I am.
The Person quickly stands up and dusts his clothes of any dirt that has stuck on it off.
,,Heya...Redson,, I quietly say while we all lookat them..., huh? What does he has tucked away in his arms?...is that a green Dragon?
I dindt know Redson liked Dragons...wait isnt that Willow, Mei`s Plush Dragon?
Redson stared at us for a moment and finally said,
,,Hey,,
-
I can't belive that rather than finding the Dragon Girl I found them...but this dosnt make any sense?
After the Girl and Noodle brains left I had a vision...where I was looking through Her eyes she was staring at a crater she had created.
But why do I find her Friends here but not Her?
Did something change the Future or...someone?
I look at these Noodle brains who where staring at me, probably waiting for a reaction from Me.
I sigh and finally say „Hey“.
