Mei: "—Maybe hold that thought?"

Pigsy: "Here we finally get away from Macaque and now we all get to drown!"

Sandy: concerned. "This drone, it's not water adventure friendly!"

Mk: "Monkey King, you've gotta do something!"

Wukong: "Huh? Why? A little water never hurt no— Oh! Right, mortality." a beep sounds off a warning of an incoming object

Mei: "What was that?"

Mk: "Something big!"

Wukong: "Guys, relax. Pretty sure this is just an old friend of mine come to help out." The Dragon Turtle submarine sees Wukong & proceeds to take their vehicle. "Actually, friend might be stretching it."

as they were thrown into the Dragon Palace of the East Sea. They tremble at first before gazing in awe at the palace. Mei: Dragon Palace of the East Sea. We're in the Dragon Palace of the East Sea!

Wukong: "Yeah, this is my kind of my sorta old buddy's house, where I got the staff."

Pigsy: "Got?—Or..."

Mk: "-—Took, right? You took it? Oh, boy."

Wukong: excited. "Oh, here they come! Smiles, everyone, smiles!" The palace guards reveal the Dragon of the East. "Heyyy, Ao Guang! Long time no—"

Dragon of the East: very pissed. "Sun Wukong! You dare return to my domain? After humiliating me, tricking me?"

Wukong: feigning innocence and confusion. "What-wa? The staff? But t-that's a total misunderstanding—"

Dragon of the East: "And now I have learned that it has been lost?! You have given the evil Lady Bone Demon exactly what she needs to destroy us all! I should execute you where you stand!"

Mei: Whispers "I thought you said he was your friend."

MK: Whispers "—He knows about the Lady Bone Demon?"

Tang: Whispers "What are we going to do?!"

Wukong: Whispers "Relax, I got this." He smiles brightly again. "Hm, maybe you forgot. I am the Great Sun Wu—"

The Dragon of the East uses his dragon form to knock Wukong back.

Dragon of the East: "Do not try to fool me a second time, trickster! I can sense your weakness. Your power is all but consumed." Palace guards prepare to execute them.
