Macaque was out in the forbidden mountainous. He was looking for something to upgrade his powers to destroy Sun Wukong. When we stumbled into a some… ancient building… He used his shadow portals to go through, he found a room with a big pillar in the middle with markings all over it… he walks up to see two baby monkeys… these monkeys held a lot of power… one was dead so he grabbed the other and ran, knowing this powerful being could destroy Wukong in seconds. He just needed to train it first.
