Mk was making his rounds around the city, enjoying the bit of peace while it lasted. He'd learned ever since he picked up the staff and became the Monkey King's successor, peace doesn't ever really last all that long, and he's going to enjoy it, damn it! He was already so tired and drained and he just wanted to have fun and a bit of normalcy to his life. So, he has the full day planned; do his job and make deliveries, hang out with Mei(and try his best to get Red Son to hang out too, but that's become much easier now that his mom and dad don't really want to take over the world for the most part anymore!), go to Flower Fruit Mountain, train with Monkey King, hang out with Macaque while ignoring the weird tension between the two that he can't really figure out, try to figure out why he's started to feel so weird like there's something itching just below his skin, then go home and pass out on his bed, exhausted and happy!

Until he was attacked in the middle of his deliveries.

By Yin and Jin of all demons!

Ugh.

Mk sighed as the two start their monologuing, waving the new weapons they had found somewhere in the air.

Why do all the bad guys always have to start their monologuing with that evil laugh? It's really starting to grate on his nerves and set his teeth on edge.

"Hello Monkey Boy! It is us, Yin!"

"And Jin! And we have come to destroy you today!"

"And there is nothing you can do to stop us!"

"Because this time!"

"Our plan is UNSTOPPABLE!"

Mk hummed as he pulled the staff out of his ear, flicking it to change it to it's full size. "Well, as per usual, you two are just here for your weekly butt whoopi-"

His words(and for a moment, breath) were cut off as one of the twins hurtled a golden ball at him, hitting him in the chest with surprising force. As he was about to retort about him letting them finish their sentences before attacking, thank you very much, the ball exploded.

Into golden ropes.

Oh shit-

He had hardly a moment to react, shoving his staff between his front and the winding ropes, but it was too late; the ropes had extended around his body and quickly snapped shut around him, shoving his weapon against his body painfully as the golden strands wrapped around him and bound his arms and legs together, tightening painfully every time he tried to struggle out of them until he was laying on the ground. The twins laughed like hyenas and high fived, jumping down to where the bound boy was with wide, triumphant grins on their smug faces.

"Well would you look at that~!"

"Got you all tied up and helpless pretty quickly, huh~?"

"Looks like~! Stupid little Monkey Boy, did you really think we wouldn't learn a bit after all this time fighting you!?"

.

Then it happened.

One of the twins stepped on his staff, crushing it further against his chest and sternum and making the rope tighten so much he swore he heard the bones crack.

And a noise came from him.

Not one he'd ever recalled making before.

.

A chirp.

A small, pain filled, desperate sounding chirp that seemed to echo more than it should have been able to with how weakly it came out of him, the sound pitiful and scared and small.

Both the demons above him froze, staring down at him in befuddlement.

Then started cackling.

"What was that!?" One twin exclaimed loudly(Yin he thinks, but he's a little busy with his body being crushed breathless by gold ropes and the weird noise that came from him).

"Have you been hanging out with the Monkey King too much?" The other one teases, adding weight to Mk's chest to see if the noise would happen again. Mk bit his mouth to make sure it wouldn't, but the dark edges of his vision and light headedness was making it difficult to care what noises came out of him, honestly.

"What, been around him so much that you think you're-"The demon was cut off by a golden Monkey King slamming a fist into his face, sending him flying in the opposite direction at a terrifying speed and through buildings, the King's eyes a furiously burning gold that sparked and flared with power and rage.

"Yin-!"

(you continue it!)
