“The Hero and The Warrior were like the sun and the moon, their light a protective glow shining upon the world. Together, there was nothing that could stop the two of them, neither in the celestial realms nor on earth.”

“As time went on, The Hero attained power beyond comprehension. As The Hero's light grew, so did his shadow and soon The Warrior was cast in that shadow.”

“In the darkness, The Warrior was forgotten by The Hero.”

“The Warrior” didn’t mention about the third friend, the one who loved The Warrior and adored The Hero. The Legend.

The Legend, ran away after The Warrior’s disappearance, afraid of The Hero. The Legend didn’t want to face the same fate as their forgotten friend. As punishment, they were imprisoned and trapped under the mortal realm, living under the earth in solitary as life went on.

As Mei and Mk investigated the strange cave, Sandy, Tang, and Pigsy were following with caution. Macaque, or “The Warrior”, had a neutral look on his face, despite having a million thoughts. Wukong, “The Hero”, was looking around with a sad expression, remembering and regretting his decision of imprisoning his dear friend. Red Son led the group, using his fire powers to create light, careful not to set the plants surrounding them on fire. As the group walked deeper into darkness of the cavern, Macaque and Wukong shared a knowing look, with Macaque slightly glaring at him and Wukong averting his eyes to the ground.

In his defense, in the heat of the moment, he felt betrayed. “The Legend” had left him, alone, so in his mind, he thought, “if they want to leave me, then I’ll make sure they’ll be alone forever.” He knows now that the decision he made was idiotic, selfish even, but he was young and stupid! He knew that was no excuse, they had to live here for more than 500+ years, while he lived in peace and quiet.
