PROLOUGE

 

There are downside to realize that he isn't a human. That by the age twenty three he discovered that he is a clay monkey that could absorb and imitate other's power. Hence why, it's easy for him to learn Monkey King's power and summon Macaque's shadow weapon. After that his life is involved with celestial realm, mortal realm and demon realm's political issue. So to be thrown into another dimension or version of the past is thrilling. A dimension where no one knows him. Problem is what should he do with his alternate mentor egg stone? MK take the stone to inspect it. The stone cracked and revealed a cute, fluffy golden furred celestial cub cooing at him. "Wait, did I hatch the egg? Am I technically the father now?" The clay monkey wondered. 

"Would it be chaotic if I change this dimension timeline by raising monkey king?" MK wondered tilting his head to the left. The newborn cub imitated. "Aww... you are adorable alternate monkey king!" The clay monkey complimented the cub. 

"Maybe it's fine, chaos is in my title." MK reassured himself and craddle the cub to his chest. "Sun Wukong, Your other self is menance because no one raised him right. But you, my beloved sun will be adored under my guidance." The clay monkey said and booped the golden furred cub nose, errupting giggles from the newborn cub. Maybe it's the shiny fur, not burnt to ash to the point it changes to ginger or maybe it's the gold eyes haven't been stained by the smoke fumes. But the cub look etherall. "Woah, I can see why Macaque think of you as the sun. You are very bright when you smile like that little mentor." The clay monkey mumbled while walking to the waterfall. The local monkeys mix with some demon monkeys warily hide away and stared at him as he approached the hidden cave. Upon placing his hand in front of the water stream a gold sigil appears, unlocking a secret cave to the stone palace. The curious monkeys peeks from afar as they watches MK walk inside and gain the bravery to follow him. While MK telling the cub how he will raise the golden celestial monkey feom danger and make the tribe a better version. He didn't realize that the locals have crowned him as the new monkey king.

As the year passed by, the agriculture of the flower fruit mountain have become the most advanced one in the mortal realm due to the modern irrigation system that MK have taught the tribe. The tribe of the flower fruit mountain flourish thanks to the modern clay monkey knowledge and protection. During MK stay he have got ridden of any predators in the island. MK is known to be a happy and calm ruler. That was until serpentines arrived and take hostage of Sun Wukong. In rage, a giant golden three tailed kaiju roared. Alerting all living beings of his presence. 

 


 

Sun Wukong want to say "I told you so." to the idiotic monk and bastard zhu bajie, but decided to shut his mouth because not only he is tied upside down by spider web. His master and fellow pilgrims also trapped and in state of panic. They never learn their lesson by listening to the pig demon instead of him, Sun Wukong, who have eyes of truth. He even start thinking why of all people he have to be chosen in such task to guard a naive human to the west. He rather head back to his mountain and do the boring kingly duties. "Wukong can you escape from this web?" The human dressed in red and yellow robes asked. The celestial monkey grinned smugly, "I am The Monkey King. Of course, I can-" the said monkey said trying to break the web but yelped when get zapped. 

"Do you really think you can escape that easily?" The spider queen sinisterly laughed while staring down her prey. "Monk man, you'll be my immortality stew tonight. While the rest pf you will be feast for my army." The spider demoness stated.

"I don't want to do this. But you leave me no choice." The celestial monkey stated bravely and proceed to chirp loudly like a cub. The pilgrims froze and stare at the red face celestial monkey. "Did you just chirp?" Zhu Bajie asked. The ground shake in each beat as if a giant have walked upon the mortal realm.

"What did you do?!" The Spider Queen accused the celestial monkey. But it was soon answered when the roof of the cave cracked open revealing a golden angry kaiju and a brown furred clay monkey. "Yuck, I hate spiders." The clay monkey stated. The pilgrims confused when they see the stranger.

"Monkey King, are you hurt?" The unknown monkey shouted from afar, ignoring the also tied up pilgrims. Everyone except the dragon prince, "is that the harbringer of chaos?".

"No, Dad." The celestial monkey known to be a strong fighter that not once been defeated in a battle muttered in embarrassment. "Dad? Since when you have a Dad?" The pig demon narrowed his eyes at the celestial monkey. The monkey king who have wreck havoc but somehow never got punished by Jade Emperor during his teen to young adult years, but in the end. By the age of five hundreds, he is forced to the journey to west along with the monk Tang Sanzang as a punishment. Have a dad?!

"Can't hear you from over here, bud!" MK shouted.

"I am fine, Dad!" Sun Wukong replied with the same volume before mumbling about how embarassing that he need his ass to be saved by his own parent. 

"Great," the clay monkey replied before glaring the prime Spider Queen. "You mess with the wrong monkey, Spider Queen!" MK stated  before having his kaiju to give one quick punch to unconcious realm. The spider demons is squashed but not dead, that's the mercy MK have let them have. The clay monkey quickly jump down and rush to the captured celestial monkey. "You know.... I am expecting more of a realms level of death if you ever call for help instead of Spiders problem." The clay monkey amusedly told the grumpy celestial monkey. 

"Nice to see you too, Dad." Sun Wukong grumbled.

The clay monkey freed the celestial monkey first before the pilgrims. The monk bowed to the clay monkey, "Thank you for saving us, Sir?" "MK, call me MK." The clay monkey replied.

"You are Sun Wukong's Dad?" The pig demon questioned earning a growl from the prisoner of the golden circlet. The clay monkey didn't mind the hostility from the perverted ancestor of this alternate pigsy. "Yeah, got a problem with that?" Monkie Kid asked with a sinister grin. Monkey King felt that shit about to go down, it's a natural instict of any cub when they sense their parent's ire to quickly hide away. Therefore, Sun Wukong have put himself distances away from the group.

"Also my kid might be troublesome." MK muttered, it is still weird that he called this alternate monkey king as his kid although he did raise the celestial cub for years. "But from how I see it, Mr. Tang. You have whined, refuse to see reasons that not everyone in this mortal realm want to repent nor want to talk instead of violence. So why is Sun Wukong wearing a cursed gold circlet?" MK asked looming over the short human. The aura oozing off the angry clay monkey is pressuring the monk and the other pilrims to cower while Sun Wukong watch the show. If one word wrong get out of the celestial monkey mouth, the suffocating ki will be transferred to him.

"He never obey me, the circlet is a way to remind him to not disobey-" the monk words got cutted by the angry clay monkey. "Who are you to command another being of their will? Are you God?" The clay monkey questioned, shadows wrapped toward his face as his eyes turn into gold void. 

"I am his master!" The monk shouted in defense. "Yet all I see is a naive human." The clay monkey voice echoed eerily in the cave. 

"For a human that vow to not harm a living being, I see your vow been broken multiple times. You'll never reach nirvana with your hypocrisy." The harbringer of chaos look down at the human. While others fear the clay monkey, Ao Lie have starry eyes as he look at the clay monkey with awe. The power, the pressure of the clay monkey is immense. The dragon prince have heard all the legend of the harbringer of chaos. First seen in the flower fruit mountain. Known to be able to imitate and show others their greatest fear. The last part were a rumor. But maybe it's true that the clay monkey able to sense fear?

"You are lacking but can be molded. I will mold you, either that or I'll replace you with someone more worthy." MK stated, the shadow wrapping his face vanished. "Reflect on yourself, Tang." The clay monkey sighed tiredly and left the frightened human alone to chatter with monkey king. MK hoped that the monk will soon realize that he can never control how others life. MK have officialy recruited himself with the pilgrims to the journey of the west.
