The year is 2025, and the world is nearly in ruins.

Sun Wukong's lifeforce is draining.

Macaque is missing.

Nezha and Li Jing betrayed the Celestial Realm.

How did this happen? Well, a mysterious enemy rose up to take over the Celestial Realm. Nezha and his father retaliated, and as punishment, this enemy would take over everything and weaken the very things capable of defeating them. So tbis means slowly draining Wukong's magic and immortality. This is war.

...

Mk is sitting next to his mentor, holding his hand as Tang and Sandy are trying to tend to him.

Sandy sighs before he turns to Tang.

Sandy— "Tangie...He's just getting worse..."

Tang— "I know, just keep him stable...!"

Wukong weakly raises his hand to touch Mk's cheek.

Wukong— "Stop crying, bud..."

Mk— "M-Monkey King...please.."

Mei runs in.

Mei— "There's no sign of Macaque anywhere!"

Tang— "Okay..uhm.. Change of plans! Mei, go back out, but bring back for medical supplies!"

She nods and leaves, her sword still drawn.

Meanwhile, Tang and Sandy are still trying to save the king of the monkeys.
