Reunited


Gathering inside of Yu Lai's car, Jun leads them to one of the Monkey  King shrines within the city that Fang had once spoke to him of hosting  a childhood friend of her's. Where they meet Hun Ho, a shrine spirit  that resides within, who without hesitation takes them in after seeing  Fang with them. And in turn allows them sanctuary on the grounds. There  they rest for a few days, patching both themselves and her up while  waiting for Fang to awaken.

Though they're all still pretty  banged up, Fang bedridden with a cast on her burnt arm. The other's were  more or less managing. Though Moth's recovery was rather slow due to  his demonic affinity against the shrine. That didn't seem to shy them  away from the group however, as they eventually settle down to their  first group meal together with the offerings from the shrine. All the  while Fang attempts to make sense of her situation as they do.

Fang  goes onto telling everyone that her father and her had not spoken to  one another in the last 10 years after having an argument. And that the  only reason she'd been able to leave the island in the first place was  due to the deal they made in her keeping her identity a secret for fear  of her safety. And now that it was not only blown to her friends, but  also Red Son, she fears that he'll drag her back to Flower Fruit  Mountain and never let her leave again.

Hun Ho points out that he  did visit the shrine for a time, wondering if she'd come by, but  stopped and hadn't visited since then. And eventually everyone manages  to convince Fang to look forward to speaking with him, claiming that it  would be best if she did rather than continue tormenting herself over  the negative idea's that had left her too stressed to do so.

A  week or so goes by as the rest of the group heals up, until it looks  like it's ready for Fang and Jun to escort Moth back to the valley to  where they could lead the moth's back to where they belong. Fang claims  that they would return to the city in a week once they were done,  promising to hang out with Yu Lai and stay with Hun Ho as they did. But  as they're saying their goodbye's, a terrifying beam of energy erupts  from the peak of Megapolis's mountain. Prompting the team to investigate  the peak, despite Hun Ho's frantic warning them not to.

Though  they're not back to full health, Fang claims that with a light that big  it would be seen from her home, and in turn hopes that going there they  would be able to meet with her father. For even he would not ignore such  a large obvious threat overlooking the city.

Upon arriving there they see a large machine that is shooting light into the air, an unconscious Red Son and the King himself.

Fang immediately goes to greet her father, approaching him and  offering apologies and exchanging sweet words with him. It all seems as  though all her woes are being put to rest as he claims how much he  missed her and how she was sorry for telling him off the way she did.  Their moment going uninterrupted by the gang as they look on to the  tender moment being shared.

Until Fang suddenly finds herself  being hoisted into the air by her bad arm by MKing, a wicked glare  playing on his features as he begins to voice his doubts onto her. All  the while she helplessly flails under his scrutiny.

It isn't  until a blur of gold flashes past and slams into MKing is Fang freed  from his grip and falls to the ground where her friends go to aid her.  As they all look onto her savior, who stands before them as MKing??

The  imposter reveals themselves to be Macaque. Who in turn uses the machine  to power himself up in hopes of finally being able to take down MKing  with the additional power boost he now has.

MKing takes him on  after telling the others to escape while they have the chance. Fang is  against it despite her team being in their still weakened condition, and  as Yu Lai and Jun break off in an attempt to stop the machine, Moth  struggles with getting Fang to join him in getting off the mountain.

Macaque  see's the others trying to shut down the machine, and sends his shadow  clones after them. And Fang uses the one that comes after her and Moth  as a distraction, running off to go help her friends. Only to get  tackled down by a very exasperated Red Son. Who apparently had been  betrayed by Macaque, unaware of his ties to the Monkey King altogether  as he had disguised himself as an associate to Red Son.

Fang  explains to Red that Macaque is MKing's evil twin and after a short bout  of arguing shoves him out of the way when a clone was about to get the  jump on him from behind. Though his fire is weakened, he manages to  dispel the clone with a quick jab and looks to Fang as if she were the  crazy one. Prompting her as to why she would save him like that. She  simply states that there's more to their families other than them simply  hating each other, and with that the two make a temporary truce to  dismantle the machine. Red Son mostly wanting to do so in a form of  revenge so his efforts wouldn't be wasted by Macaque.

The group  eventually all manage to shut down the machine together, (Red Son  funnily enough saving Jun as the machine explodes.) And MKing punts  Macaque off the mountain, where the group is finally able to regroup  with one another.

Fang is suspicious of this Wukong, and ask him  of the name of her fondest childhood toy, to which he correctly responds  with 'Minikong.' The two embrace and after a little back and forth  consoling they deem it time to head home.

Though Fang takes note  of Red Son's inability to arise from his current position, and offers  him a ride home on her father's cloud. And despite his hesitance and  clear distaste for the Monkey King he ends up taking her offer and  allows Jun to aid him onto the cloud.

Eventually making it to a  secluded spot near his home base, Fang and him exchange a few words. Her  final farewell to him being, 'See ya cousin!~' Poking fun at the ideal of their families past as they take their leave.

And  after heading back to the shrine they'd been staying at for so long,  both Fang and MKing are able to exchange their more personal thoughts  between one another, until both forgive one another for the argument  they shared and promise never to go without contacting one another for  such a long period of time ever again. Fang eventually going on to ask  her father if he would be alright with her moving in for the time being  and him being more than pleased to have her back, even if it is all  temporary.
