The Forbidden Prince Chapter 2
In a village, a small group of fishermen are returning from a long trip. Then one of them noticed a raft that was floating towards shore. Out of curiosity, one of the fishermen got close to the raft when he suddenly stumbled backwards out of shock and fear when a golden colored Rhesus Macaque popped out of the homemade raft and scampered off before any of the men can respond.
Quickly, the monkey ran until he noticed a small burlap sack that on the ground. The monkey crawled in the suck as a young man with long black hair that is messy and wearing some clothes which consists of a robe that may belong to a monk. The monkey stay quiet as the bag was picked up as the man ran off somewhere. The running slowly turned into a jog then stopped as the man put the sack down when another voice called out.
"Lu Yan, where have you been?"
"What? I went to the market, Erlang."
"Why did it took so long for you to get back?!?!"
The monkey emerges out of the sack as both Lu Yan and Erlang are busy arguing and stretch his limbs until the monkey noticed that one of the doors was open. Curious, the monkey approached the door as he saw an elderly looking man with long white hair with a long braid and a trimmed beard. The elderly man wore a white long robe and he was appeared to be in some kind of state of meditation until the monkey enter the room.
"I know you can sense you." The old man spoke which nearly scared the monkey as the old man was surprised to see a monkey but it look a lot different than the other monkeys he saw.
This monkey's fur was a golden yellow color and not a dusty brown or auburn color. The old man look outside to notice that Erlang and Lu Yan are still arguing over something. The old man sighed heavily and looked at the monkey who suddenly grabbed a blanket, approached a bottle of calligraphy ink and dipped his hand before walking to the blanket and wrote something down. Once the monkey was done, the old man look at the message on the sheet. Despite looking like chicken scratch, the old man was able to read, "Can I be your student to find immortality?"
The old man looked at the monkey then placed the blanket down. "Well I might help you but I might give you a human form."
"A human form?" The monkey thought to himself as the old man approached the monkey and pressed his calloused hands against the monkey's face. Then the old man's hands began to glow as the monkey felt a sharp and stinging pain like hot coals are inside his body as it began to change. He could feel it, his bones popping and cracking, his skin felt stretching and organs changing. His vocal cords are shifting from a monkey to a human as the screeches turned into a scream that belongs to a human.
Opening his eyes slowly, he noticed something odd. He resembled a human but he had some signs that he's once a monkey with fur on his chest, wrists and ankles and his tail which had grown longer.
"Shifu Qi!?!" The voice of Erlang called out, "Is there something wrong?!? Me and Lu Yan heard a scream and-"
Erlang saw the new guy. He did resembled a human but the long furry tail and the fur on the chest area, wrists and ankles can tell another story. Yet he resembled a handsome young man with his golden blonde hair that reach his upper back like a curtain as his dark brown eyes seems to glow. He seems unaware that he was nude until Lu Yan let his mouth open and muttered, "I realized you're naked." The former monkey looked down and nearly freaked out. "OH...!! YOU'RE RIGHT!!!"
Silence reigned the air until the blonde spoke, "I spoke.....!!"
Erlang stared at the man then bowed down and introduced him, "Sorry for my interruption. My name is Erlang Shen." Then Erlang points at Lu Yan, "That person is Lu Yan over there." And looked at Shifu Qi but the old man held up his hand to silence Erlang. Then the man muttered, "I don't have a name."
Erlang rose an eyebrow out of curiosity and confusion. "Do you have any parents?"
"No." The blonde man spoke, "I was born from a stone."
"What about Sun Wukong?" Shifu Qi spoke which got the new guy's attention. "Sun Wukong?"
"It's means Monkey awakened to emptiness." Shifu Qi spoke and the newly named Sun Wukong spoke, "I think I liked it."
Mysterious Discovery Antique Restoration House, Boston:
There's a lot you can say about Lixin Xiaotian. A trickster wearing a suit, a mischievous mentor or a father figure.
Lixin was leaning against the wall while Jason Tripitikas held a familiar object in his hands. His opponent was a teenager girl (a year older than Qi) who is wearing a pair of fingerless leather fighting gloves. Her lightly tanned skin was slightly wet from a shower with her sandy brown hair brushing her shoulders and her dark green eyes glared at the young man.
She strikes but Jason used the staff to block her which caused a small shockwave as the girl was thrown backwards when Lixin caught her. "You okay kid?" Lixin Xiaotian asked and the girl answered, "Yea."
"Good Game Dorothea?" Jason spoke as Dorothea groaned heavily and accepted it.
Lixin sighed heavily as Jason gave the staff like weapon to Lixin who placed it back to a rack as Dorothea removed the cestus and placed them down on the shelf next to the rack. Dorothea rubbed a sore muscle in her back, cringing in pain.
She was relieved that she was saved from her former "pack" by the Monkey King and his lover (later wife) through the leader accidentally kicking her out of the pack which leads to both Monkey King to beat the leader badly close to death's doors.
One of the reasons to not piss off the Monkey King.
Dorothea enter a room where she watched those martial arts films. She knew that training from Lixin Xiaotian is very difficult and martial arts films caught her curiosity. When she noticed that Lixin and that Jason person were gone, she went up to a plastic box that was full of some films which are consists of Jackie Chan films. She looked through them (having watched them all) until one caught her eye. It was a a DVD cover with a collage of various people and drawings with the title "All in the Family" below red text that is in Chinese.
"Is this a Jackie Chan film?" Dorothea thought to herself.
The perfect time to watch this movie.
Approaching a television, she put the disc on the DVD tray, pressed the button to close it. After skipping the trailers, the movie began. It's seems oddly boring with a mother (with her daughter) coming up with a plan to get revenge on her three sons because the patriarch/the father died. Wondering where Jackie Chan is, Dorothea grabbed the remote control and fast foward to 1 hour and 14 minutes in when there was a knock on the door as she paused at the wrong time when Lixin opened the door and froze.
The expression on Jason's face told the whole story as Dorothea was confused until the brunette male asked, "Is that Jackie Chan?"
Dorothea turned around to see on the screen. It was Jackie Chan, naked next to a woman who is also naked.
Chapter 2- MY FATHER IS THE MONKEY KING!?!?!
Jason Tripitikas examined the cauterized but healing wound on Lixin's left hand as the man redressed the bandages while Dorothea was sewing a piece of fabric with a needle. The pattern was very unrecognized with bizarre polygonal shapes and lines. Old Hop noticed the sewing needle and shuddered hard. Lixin and Jason noticed it. "Is there something wrong?"
"Sorry." Old Hop spoke, "It's just.... needles made me uncomfortable." Then Old Hop looked at Lixin and asked, "Something happened to your kid?"
"Qi?" Lixin asked before remembering what happened this morning. "Yes. I remember that he told me that he was going to school. When I called him for breakfast, I heard a scream from the bathroom."
"A scream?" Jason spoke and Lixin nodded. "When I ran up to check on him, he came out looking fine yet he look like he was guilty."
Jason remember that other teen who look like he might join Lupo's gang.
Silver Creek High School, Boston:
Qi was in his next class. Yuxi Jiang had a pop quiz, something that made some of the students panic aside from Qi Xiaotian, Tommy, Kimberly and a few students.
Qi should know better. Yuxi Jiang is one of those teachers who let NO ONE cheats. Yet, the odd thing she had small figurines resembled a monkey with a golden headband, a pig man, a water spirit and a horse with dragon like features. Then Qi Xiaotian rose his hand. "MISS JIANG?"
"Yes?" Yuxi Jiang asked. "I don't think I feel well...." Qi Xiaotian spoke, rubbing his hand against his forehead.
"I can take him to the nurse's office." Tommy spoke up. "Yes, you may." Yuxi answered as Tommy and Qi Xiaotian exits the classroom. However, instead of going to the Nurse's Office, they enter an empty classroom. "Can you please stay here." Tommy spoke as he left the classroom for a few minutes before he came back with Jeremy, Selena, Mei and some dark haired girl.
"Seriously, why do you bring me here!?!" The girl complains.
"Listen. It might be very important." Tommy spoke then he looked at Jeremy out of curiosity. "I remember that I saw something and..." Then Jeremy had an idea. "I got an idea." Jeremy spoke as everyone aside from Qi Xiaotian look at Jeremy.
"Hey MK, can you activate that transformation?" Jeremy asked Qi Xiaotian who is confused. "How much episodes of Dragon Ball Z do you watch, J?" Selena spoke while Qi was confused. "Dragon Ball? What's that?"
Tommy remember a prank that Jeremy was planning but didn't do it because of reasons. "This may surprise you but Jeremy had this idea of inviting your parents to that party but he didn't got it to do it and-" Jeremy reacted with shock. "CRAP!!!! I WAS ABOUT TO DO THAT!!!"
However, Qi's face was turning red as he was shaking violently until the teen yelled out, "YOU TRIED TO WHAT!!!!!!"
There was a flash of light that fill the empty classroom before it fades. Everybody expect for Qi Xiaotian were shocked when they saw Qi Xiaotian but their reaction are different from each other. Mei nearly fainted with Selena catching her, Jeremy backing up with Kimberly and Tommy behind him, the former was trying to not scream but the latter seems amazed. In Qi Xiaotian's place was a mix of a human and a monkey with his short spiky hair becoming a bit longer and what appeared to be fur growing on the sides of his face similar to side burns. His ears are now pointed as Qi spoke, "Uhhhh... Guys?" Jeremy could see that Qi's upper canines are now elongated and resembled fangs. There's some strange markings under Qi's eyes. "Is there something?" Qi asked again. "Yes." Jeremy answered as Mei groaned, regaining consciousness before yelping in shock upon seeing Qi's new form. Confused, Qi raises his hand to touch his face and felt the fur on his jawline.
"What?!?!" The dark haired teen before seeing the reflection on the window. Qi screamed out of fear, stumbling backwards. "W-What happened to me last night?" The teen spoke before Tommy looked at Qi. "I know this might cause some issues but we need to call your father to explain what is going on." Surprisingly, Qi Xiaotian nodded and said, "Y-Yes. Please call him." Sighing with relief, Tommy grabbed the phone and entered the phone number of Mysterious Discovery then pressed the call button. A long silence fill the air before they hear Lixin's voice. "Mysterious Discovery. How can we help you?" "Mr. Xiaotian." Tommy began, "Something happened to your son and he changed when Jeremy told us about what happened last night."
"WHAT!?!?!?!?!" Lixin's voice was heard, full of shock along with three other voices. "What change he had?" Lixin asked, trying to get an answer. Tommy was sweating a little bit but he sighed before describing, "He had fur on his face, his canines are longer and..." Qi noticed something odd as he pulled on something and saw what he was pulling on. It was a tail. A black furry long tail that belongs to a monkey. "I HAD A TAIL!!!!!" It's seems that Lixin heard Qi Xiaotian's reaction and went quiet before there was a loud knock on the door. Jeremy approached the door and opened it to reveal Lixin Xiaotian, with a look of concern and slight anger as he spoke, "What happen to my son?" "Dad.." Qi spoke, "What is happening to me?!?!"
"HOW COME YOU TRANSFORM LIKE THIS!?!" Jeremy called out and he, Selena and Mei started to argue one another like a bunch of elderly people in a nursing home.
Lixin Xiaotian sighed heavily as he pulled something out of his pocket. It resembles a coral red sewing needle with the ends are a golden color. "Grow." Then the needle grew to the size of a staff like weapon. Tommy noticed it and softly spoke, "Is that..."
Then Lixin spoke one simple word.
A bright and golden light (much brighter) filled the classroom as Qi, Mei and others expect for Lixin Xiaotian covered their eyes. Once everything died down, Jeremy fell on his butt as he scrambling backwards like a crab, Tommy's jaw dropped and it's Qi who said something. "What the-"
Although the man is Lixin Xiaotian, he doesn't resemble a human. His dress pants and button up shirt were replaced by some Ancient Chinese Warrior Armor with the some armor on his upper arms, wrists and waist area and some black clothing and a pair of boots. His blonde hair was held up in a ponytail with some kind of hairpiece. Just like his son, he had fur that covered the sides of his face like sideburns.
Tommy spoke up from the shock, "M-Monkey King?" When Qi Xiaotian heard it, he looked at his father. Then realization hit the teenage boy hard like a subway train. "You're the Monkey King!?!?!" Qi spoke and Sun Wukong responded, "Yep. The one and only. So, where's the one who thinking of inviting to a party?"
Then everyone expected for Sun Wukong points at Jeremy. "Really...." Jeremy muttered as Monkey King was silent before he started to laugh and slapped his own thigh upon his prank idea.
"S-Sorry about my earlier freak out." Tommy apologized awkwardly before straightening himself, "It's just I am a fan of The Monkey King."
Everyone was surprised with Qi look at Tommy with a look of curiosity and Sun Wukong look like he was trying to laugh again until Qi Xiaotian spoke, "Wait what?"
"I mean, it's true. I actually drew a concept of a costume during the journey."
"Are you sure that he's a trickster?" Jeremy asked, "Since he appears to be-" Then Sun Wukong turned around, bend over and shake his butt in front of Jeremy. Then Jeremy charged at Wukong out of anger until The Monkey King side stepped out of the way. Suddenly, Qi Xiaotian had noticed that he, his friends (Mei, Tommy, Selena and Jeremy), Kimberly, his dad and oddly, Yuxi Jiang were outside and in a park for no reason.
Immediately, the mischief in Wukong suddenly died and his face took a serious look. "Uhhh.. Is there something wrong?" Suddenly, Qi's eyes flashed red all of sudden as Yuxi immediately noticed. "Yo, MK? You okay, your eyes flashed red and-"
Then Wukong's eyes flashed red as he ran past his son and noticed something odd that was enough to make the Immortal's blood run cold. It was a planet like object that covered the sun. Immediately, the group felt a sudden earthquake as Sun Wukong called out, "Qi, take your friends and Shifu somewhere safe."
"Shifu?" Yuxi was confused by what Wukong is talking about, "Who's Shifu?" Wukong looked at Yuxi and said, "You." When Wukong said that, Yuxi was in shock by this revelation. How did he called her 'Shifu' despite the age difference.
But Qi Xiaotian was really concern as he spoke up, "D-Dad.." Sun Wukong turned to gave his son a smile, "I will be fine so don't worry." Despite the situation, Qi Xiaotian and the others ran off with Yuxi muttered, "Please be careful.", leaving Sun Wukong alone when a giant pillar of fire appeared. Once it faded, standing there was a young male with jet black hair though there is some red strands which is held up like a ponytail while some small strands almost covered his face. His attire was a mix of royalty and an ancient warrior with the forearms of the sleeves and shawl being a red.
His dark brown eyes had the look of hostility for The Monkey King as he spoke, "Are you done speaking to your son." Sun Wukong stared at his nephew, the older man had a look of a much more experienced warrior ready to take down a much younger and arrogant warrior. "Because I will not go gentle on you this time."
