03x10 - The Samadhi Fire

[bunniefuu]

For the Samadhi Fire to be split in three,

you must harmonize your energies.

You know, this is kinda easier
than I thought it would be.

-Wukong!
-Imbecile!

My friend, are you...

I am all right.

Master, you did it! We knew you could!

Okay. Okay. That's more than enough.

-Hey!
-Great job, Wukong.

Way to almost get us all k*lled!

Sheesh. Chill out, Ne Zha.

It all worked out in the end.
Fire split, no harm done.

Do it. Finish the ritual.

All right.

You win.

No! They were supposed to wait!

Are you absolutely sure
the Samadhi Fire is the only way

to stop the Lady Bone Demon?

Only if we move right now.

You better be right.

Let's hope my aim's as good
as it used to be.

What?

No!

No! Wait! I wanna get off this ride!

Yes.

Stop!

No!

-It worked.
-I'm too late.

-Kid!
-What?

Mei?

What's happening?

Don't worry, I'm coming for ya.
Someone get some water!

Stop, drop and roll, Mei!

Mere water cannot extinguish
the Samadhi Fire.

Nothing can.

The fire will destroy this girl
and burn everything in its path.

-What?
-Yeah, what?

You! You ruined everything!

I didn't do this.

Well, you weren't not involved.

Stop! It was me.

I mean, yeah, Macaque forced me to do it,

and I'm definitely starting
to have second thoughts

on the whole thing now, but...

I don't know how and I don't know why,
I just felt like I had to.

Like it was... destiny.

Destiny cannot be undone, Sun Wukong.

I hate to interrupt,
but can someone explain what is going on?

What's happening to Mei?

Okay, this is going to sound
really bad, but hear me out.

Wukong, what have you done?

I made a mistake.

During the ritual, a piece
of the Samadhi Fire got away from me.

I don't know what happened,
but I guess part of it

was sealed in the closest vessel
that could contain it.

My loyal companion,
the white horse dragon, Ao Lie.

Mei's great-great-great-times-a-thousand-
great-grandfather.

Making Mei the fourth ring.

You knew.

All along, you knew
I had this thing inside of me!

Mei, hang on a second.

And you hid it from all of us!

Why? What were you afraid of?

That you were going
to have to tear me apart

to get your precious Samadhi Fire?

This wasn't supposed to happen.

I thought if I could somehow get
the Samadhi Fire out of you,

without hurting you of course,

then I could put it inside myself.

Then, I don't know, use it to burn up
the Lady Bone Demon or something?

-I was kinda making this up as--
-That was your plan?

That's not a good plan.

Yeah, to be honest, this is the first time
I've said it out loud, so...

We trusted you. All of us!

How could you lead us into this fight
without a real plan?

Time and time again,
I've watched you put MK in danger,

leaving him to figure out
everything on his own!

Don't you realize you're hurting
the people who care about you the most?

She's completely out of control.

If there is a time to go, it's now.

No! Mei is my best friend.

I'd never abandon her when she needs me.

We're heroes. It's what we do.

Macaque is right. We must leave.

There's no saving the girl.

No!

Kid!

Mei, you have to stop.

I know you're upset, and that's okay.

I know what it's like to have a power
you don't know how to control.

To feel like the fate of the world
is in your hands

and you have no idea what to do.

But you always have my back
and help me through it.

We will figure this out. Together!

-He did it!
-Go, Mei!

She controlled the fire?

This is impossible.

I can't.

I don't want to hurt you.

Any of you.

I'm sorry.

Mei, wait.

Mei...

We have to go after Mei.

Kid, you're in no state
to be going anywhere.

But the Samadhi Fire!

Should have burned
the dragon girl to ash by now.

And yet it hasn't, which is curious.

What do you mean?
You know, for people not paying attention.

It means that perhaps there was method
to Sun Wukong's madness after all.

If she can learn to control the fire,

then perhaps its power truly could be used
to defeat the Lady Bone Demon.

So all we gotta do
is get Mei some fire training?

That's easy.
All the more reason to go after her.

There's no time for that.

Now that the Samadhi Fire is forged,

the Lady Bone Demon
will stop at nothing to obtain it.

If we show up unprepared,

we might as well just hand Mei over
to her right now.

No.

I'm gonna do
what I should've done originally.

Stop the Lady Bone Demon. Alone.

What? But you said the Samadhi Fire
was the only thing that could stop her.

I know what I said.

But I've beaten her before.
I'll... I'll do it again.

Mei was right. I need to stop
dragging you into my fights.

All of you.

I'm sorry, bud.
I need you to sit this one out.

If one more of my friends
flies off today, I'm gonna lose it!

The only way we win is together!
That's Monkie Kid 101!

If Sun Wukong fights
the Lady Bone Demon alone,

the chances of him surviving are slim.

And what are the chances of Mei
not destroying the world

with the Samadhi Fire?

Less slim?

Then it's settled.

We gotta go bring Monkey King back.

You two go. We'll only slow you down.

Yeah. The three of us will fire up
the ol' T-E-A and track down Mei.

Go show 'em what you're made of, kid.

I just love you guys so much.

No. Stay back. I don't want to hurt you.

Dragon horse girl.

Looks like you could use
some fire training.
