03x12 - The Corrupted King

[bunniefuu]

Admittedly,
this is an unforeseen adjustment,

but a fortunate moment
of spontaneity nonetheless.

Fate has delivered me
the perfect champion.

But... he was winning.

He was beating you.

Oh, sweet child,

perhaps now you finally understand

how pointless your efforts
to stop me truly are.

The Samadhi Fire will be mine,

and I will use its power
to reforge this world!

Go.

Boy, get back...

Wait!

What? Where am I? Wat?

Mei? Mei!

What took so dang long?

Oh, my sweet Pigsy,

one should always inspect their vehicle
before heading out on a long drive!

Safety first!

Now strap in, friends! Let's go find Mei!

LE'GO!

What was that?

What happened?

Oh, no! My T.E.A!

Why do I break all the things I love?

It's okay, g*ng,


and we'll get the ol' girl
back on the road.

Forty-eight hours?

We gotta find Mei now!

Guys, look!

Is that... Monkey King?

Where are we?

Kind of a weird spot
to put a library, isn't it?

No, it's...

This must an ancient holding
for the writings

of The Great Monk, Tang Sanzang!

Okay... Oh, maybe I'm crazy but...

those are us, right?

Oh, we're finally getting into it, huh?

So, what'd'ya think? I got some theories!

But-- but-- but, Pigsy,
what are you talking about?

I met your parents!

These heroes existed
hundreds of years ago,

there's no way those could be us!

Oh, come on, Tang!

A blue guy and a pig?

We know Mei's descended from that dragon

and you literally have
the same name as Tang Sanjang.

Tang Sanzang!

Sanzang. I'm tellin' ya,
it's just too big a coincidence

don't you think?

Oh, come on!
You can't tell me you don't see it.

Yeah, I'm with Pigsy on this.

I mean, surely we found this place
for a reason, right?

But, compared to the Great Monk,

I'm not... great.

You're pretty great to me, Tang.

Besides, your story ain't over.

Not yet.

Not bad, Dragon Girl.

It's been nearly five minutes
since your last expl*si*n.

Keep this up and you'll be ready
to wield the fire in no time.

For the love of...

I thought you were--

A mud monster!

What? No, you imbecile, it's just--

Mei?

Mei! You-- you're okay!

You're not on fire!

-What happened?
-Yes, yes, okay!

I'm okay. Really.

Actually... It's all thanks to Red Boy!

Oh, yeah! He's been "teacher-ing" me

how to control my powers real good!

And he's been super relaxed
and chill about it

this whole time.

If it wasn't for him,
I probably would have burned up

the whole world with Samadhi Fire by now.

Wait, that's right!

The Lady Bone Demon.

She's after the Samadhi fire.

What? And you came here?

Monkey King?

No. Not anymore.

It's her. The Lady Bone Demon.

She's possessed Wukong,

just like she did with my father
when we used that magic key

to release her from... her prison...

Oh, boy.

Yeah. Thanks, Red Son.

So we meet again,
Son of the Demon Bull King.

You're right, I never quite thanked you

for freeing me from my prison.

Your father was a most fitting host

for my power in the time we had.

Wukong on the other hand...

Well, he's something else.

I'm guessing we can't beat him.

No. But if Lady Bone Demon gets the fire--

That is one other thing

I must thank you for.

Creating The Samadhi Fire.

Why, without you, I would never

have been able to fulfill my destiny.

We have to get out of here, now!

But that is where
your usefulness ends.

There is nowhere left to run.

No place you might go
that I cannot find you.

Why drag this on longer than is necessary?

I have waited long enough.

Bring her to me now!

Monkey King! Stop!

You're stronger than her. Force her out!

It's no use.

The girl...

MK?

So this is the power of the Samadhi Fire.

Stay back! Or we're gonna find out

what burning monkey hair smells like!

You think whatever happens to Wukong

is of concern to me?

He is a vessel, nothing more.

You would really destroy your own friend

to save yourself?

Harmonize the wild energies and emotions

burning within us and focus them!

Wukong knew the risks.

It's what he would do if he had to.

That's the hard part of being a hero!

Breath, calm.

Focus!

Hero? Please.

You're not heroes.

You're mere agents of chaos,

the very thing that I aspire
to eradicate in this new world.

No more destruction. No more disorder.

I will have perfection!

Mei! No!

Dragon Girl!

We have to go after them!

No! What we need is a plan.

If we go after them now,
there's no way we win.

But our only chance
to beat the Lady Bone Demon

just teleported away!

The Dragon girl was our last hope.

As long as we're still standing,
there's always hope!

Mei is more stubborn than anyone I know.

Between that and your training,
she's not gonna give up

the Samadhi Fire without a fight.

I can't tell
if you're being heroic or moronic.

But alright. Let's make a plan.

Alright! LE'GO!

Wait, what are you--

I'm not gonna lie, kid.

I mean, if The Lady Bone Demon
has Monkey King,

Mei and the Samadhi Fire...

Oh, I don't know, I'm not really
feeling much confidence here.

Yeah!

That's why we're gonna formulate a plan!

I'm open to suggestions, what have we got?

Die with dignity?

What kind of plan is that?

I don't know!

It's just-- Aren't we back where we were

when Mei and Monkey King
flew off into the sky?

What? No, it's nothing like then!

'Cause now we got a Red Son!

We didn't have a Red Son before!

Oh, yeah, he's a real game changer!

Hey!

We're just doing the same thing

over and over again!

I'm losing my mind over here!

I hope I'm not interrupting.

But if you're making a plan

to defeat the Lady Bone Demon,

I know a guy who might be able to help.
