03x14 - Destiny Fulfilled

[bunniefuu]

All right, MK,
I hope that staff is worth it!

No matter what you do,

you cannot change the path of destiny.

I don't know if this all happened

because it was destined to,
but I have to believe

that I found the staff
so I could use it for good.

To help people!

So that's exactly what I'm gonna do!

I'm gonna take my staff
and protect this world!

Come on!

Oh, sweet child, can't you see?

Sun Wukong couldn't best me.

What can you hope to accomplish
when he has failed?

Cast aside your stubbornness

and face your demise with honor.

If you really believed
that destiny can't be changed,

you wouldn't be using
every ounce of power you have

to keep him contained!

The Monkey King I know
will never stop fighting you!

And neither will I!

Thanks for not giving up on me, bud.

No!

Time for the hero stuff.

I can still feel her
crawling under my skin.

I'm glad you're back.

Guys, now that Wukong's
not under her control...

Oh, no!

Predictably unpredictable fools.

I'm not one to rush destiny,
but I won't be undone

by a troupe of headstrong simians!

If the Dragon Girl

will not give me
the Samadhi Fire willingly,

then I will rip it from her!

Mei!

Go! I'll get through to her!

Somehow...

You're right, MK.

If you had never found that staff,

none of this would have been possible.

A delivery boy to the end.

Kid?

Now watch as I fulfill my destiny

and begin this world anew.

No Monkey King.

No Monkie Kid.

Nothing!

No!

-MK!
-That's my boy!

No. No!

I will not be stopped by you foul,

insignificant creature!

You would allow this world
to continue to fester and rot,

the eternal misery of countless souls

because of your sentimentality
for mortal pleasures?

You can't judge things
by their worst qualities!

This world might not be perfect,

but it's still worth fighting for!

Yeah!
Sometimes it's that little bit of char

that makes for a more flavorful meat!

Even if it is a bit tangy.

You said it, Mo!

The world may be full of darkness,

but to let the light shine,
all we need to do

is stand together!

The perfect world is what you make it.

So as long as I have
my friends by my side,

this world is perfect!

A child's notion!

I will not indulge it!

Don't you give up on me, Dragon Girl!

The Samadhi Fire is not her power.

It's yours!

Bend it to your will!

Don't use the flame, Mei.

Be the flame.

What?

Hey, Monkey Man, ya miss me?

Mei?

Yeah, I'm here too, by the way.

-Let's end this!
-Let's end this!

Yeah!

Here... comes...

Monkie...

No! You will not take my destiny from me!

...Kid!

Save your hero speech, child.

I've existed long enough
to know when it's over.

You still think that the universe

really wants anything from any of us?

Don't you?

I try not to think too hard.

So it would seem.

Know this, Monkey.

You and I are not so different.

We both fight for what we think is right.

That pursuit only leads to one thing.

To destiny, right?

No.

To pain.

A hearty meal rich in macronutrients

is just what the body needs
to refuel after a battle.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

You were done with that, right?

Well, actually, I--

He was saving that for me.

'Cause you know, I'm his mentor.

Still the same Wukong,

doing whatever he wants
with no regard for others.

Yeah, I'll keep that in mind
next time you scheme with the enemy

and almost get us all D.E.D!

You know you two are the same, right?

-I'm nothing like him!
-I'm nothing like him!

Hey! Where do you think you're going?

Don't know.

Somewhere where I can do
a bit of scheming, probably.

See you round, MK.

I hate that guy so much!

Always acting like he's so cool!

I know I can never make it up to you.

Honestly, I never thought
I'd live as long as I have,

let alone be someone's mentor.

Turns out I'm not very good at it.

I guess what I'm trying to say is,

I'm sorry, MK. For all of it.

It's okay.

I can always get another bowl of noodles.

Wha-- No! Not the noodles!

I mean, I'm sorry for being a bad mentor

and making you clean up after my mess!

I know. Sometimes I just play dumb

to lighten the mood.

Me too, bud.

Me too.

MK! Order up!

On it, boss!

What? Hey!

The curious thing about legends,

is the way we can continue
to be moved by the same stories.

We're comforted
by familiar tales of friendship...

courage...

redemption.

At times, the path of the hero
might seem unclear,

and the stories chaotic and directionless.

Sometimes, it may seem as though
we've ended up back where we began,

but it's clear to see

how much we've grown on the journey.

For although the story is over,

there's always room on the shelf
for another.

The end!

Pretty good!

I think that's pretty good.
