After Lady Bone Demon gave Macaque her power so he could retrieve The Samandhi Fire for her, but Macaque had different plans, he wanted to use The Samandhi Fire against the Lady Bone Demon to break free from her and get as far away from her as possible.

After breaking the fake rings Wukong made with his hair, he made his way to MK in his mech.

Macaque: Don't get in my way kid. I don't have time for you, I'm just here for the Samandhi fire, then I'm done with you all.

The giant mech reached towards the rings but MK quickly transformed into a monkey and punched the arm away from the rings. But Macaque wasn't going down easy, he grabbed ahold of MK and slammed onto the ground a couple times.

Macaque: This was the Monkey King's great plan? how do you STILL not see that he has no idea what he's doing! How about this for a plan? Stay down MK or I will put you down.

Mei attempts to help MK but she is too weak at the moment, Macaque soon jumps out of the mech, landing right in front of her and Tang.

Macaque: Not. Another. Move. I'll give you two options. Option A I take the Samandhi Fire, you do what I say and I won't have to do anything you'll regret. Or, Option B...

Macaque sinks into his portals, grabbing Mei and holding up in the air by her throat.

Macaque: I cut you all down, starting with the girl!

So what do you do? do as he says or try to save Mei?
