...They did it, the Monkie Kids/The Gang saved the world and perhaps the universe from destruction, they stopped Azure Lion, although, that caused his death...

They saved everyone, but...at what cost?

Everything, absolutely everything.

You were just a youngling, a poor youngling...A youngling who witnessed ABSOLUTELY everything, from Azure Lion's rise to the throne and his death...The sight of him giving you a last apologetic smile before desintegrating, for your young mind, was the most horrible and heart-wrecking thing ever....That destroyed you...He was your father figure, your mentor, your world, and now, he was gone...He didn't deserve death, his heart and ideas were in the right place, he just didn't have the right head and plans...Everything was ruined....Even Sun Wukong seemed sad at his old sworn brother's death...

Now you were really alone, Azure Lion died...And Peng and Yellowtusk:who you also cared a lot for, were now imprisoned in The Memory scroll...Everything ruined!

...Of course, The Gang felt shocked at knowing about your existence...They felt incredibly horrible: If they had known about you, they could and would have been more goddamn careful when handling Azure Lion and not killing him....

...If only they had known about you before...

They felt incredibly guilty about your situation...Sun Wukong and MK in particular felt the most guilty...And they felt obligated to start taking care of you, they felt responsible for you genuinely, since they (though unintentionally) ruined your life...But, maybe they can fix it...Right?
