## Plot

Before Monkey King could do any harm to MK, Macaque tackles and fights him off, giving MK time to get the Golden Staff. However, the Lady Bone Demon tells MK that no matter what he does, fate will be the same. MK disagrees, saying that he found the staff so he could use it for good rather than its discovery leading up to the destruction of the world. Monkey King defeats Macaque and prepares to go after MK. Meanwhile, MK tells Lady Bone Demon that she shouldn't be taking control of Monkey King if destiny cannot truly be changed, and that he and the real Monkey King would never give up fighting the her. His fear of hurting MK snaps Monkey King from Lady Bone Demon's corruption, and the two worked together to pull the Golden Staff from its stand.

Because of this, an enraged Lady Bone Demon prepares to destroy the world by activating the bone mech, freeing the little girl that she possessed in the process. During the activation, everyone was forced to escape while Red Son stayed behind, trying his best to help Mei. Lady Bone Demon taunts MK by saying that he's responsible for all of this since he found the staff. She prepares to destroy the world by striking the Samadhi Fire into the ground, starting with MK. But at the last second, MK creates the Monkey Mech, putting the bone mech into a hold. The heroes tell Lady Bone Demon that the world shouldn't be judged by its flaws, no matter how flawed it is. While doing so, they create a giant, golden celestial version of the Monkey Mech. Inside the bone mech, Red Son was able to get through Mei, and the two joined the others. With everyone together, Tang used his powers to free everyone that the Lady Bone Demon overwhelmed. Soon, the golden Monkey Mech creates a giant version of the Golden Staff and prepares to defeat Lady Bone Demon once and for all. At first, Lady Bone Demon was able to hold off the staff until the Monkie Kids, Monkey King, Red Son, and Macaque used their full power to break through the barrier, destroying the Bone Demon and her mech.

Lady Bone Demon used her final moments to speak with MK, saying that they both fight for what they believe in and that in the end, doesn't lead to destiny, but to pain.

After the battle, the heroes celebrated their victory by going out for noodles. But during the celebration, Monkey King and Macaque get into a brief argument until MK says that the two monkeys aren't so different, even though they disagree. After Macaque leaves, Monkey King apologies to MK for not being honest with him and being a lousy mentor to which MK accepts.

Life goes on as MK delivers food with Mei to the customers that ordered Pigsy's noodles, including Sandy, Macaque, the Demon Bull Family, and Monkey King. After MK delivers the noodles to Monkey King, the two have the meal together. Unbeknownst to Monkey King and MK, a mysterious scroll opens behind them.

## Trivia

1/2
* The scene where MK watches his friends celebrate after Lady Bone Demon's death is similarly framed to when Monkey King watched the other pilgrims congratulate Tang Sanzang in "The Samadhi Fire".
* Storyboard director, Ashe Jacobson, thinks that Monkey King could fully see everything that was happening while he was possessed, and that seeing the monkey symbol on the back of MK's jacket was what snapped him out of the corruption.
* MK's final conversation with the Lady Bone Demon is a reference to episode 27 of *Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann*.
	+ The scene was storyboarded by A.D. Taeza.
* Lady Bone Demon refers to MK as a simian and a monkey, which may foreshadow the reveal that MK is a Mystic Monkey.
* The drawing MK gives Macaque is labeled "Have a nice meal" (用餐愉快) in the Mandarin dub.

4. ↑ Jacobson, Ashe (2022-06-08). One day I'll post the boards, but I'm so glad y'all noticed this. I attempted to put a lot of nuance into that scene. The thing that snapped him out was seeing the back of MK's jacket. Is it canon? Idk. But in my head that's the trigger. MK is a reflection of himself (Quote Tweet). Twitter.

5. ↑ Jacobson, Ashe (2022-06-08). And just to clarify, yeah, I think Wukong was absolutely seeing what was happening even while under LBD's control. Seeing his protege- seeing that reflection of himself standing firm when he couldn't- is absolutely what I think gave him the strength to come back..
6. ↑ Jacobson, Ashe (2023-04-12). I literally just asked Sarah like "hey can we do the void-space convo from TTGL?" I think @mighty\_nii ended up boarding the final version of this? It was such a nice moment to get to focus on the interaction. No space, no time. Just MK and LBD. (Quote Tweet). Twitter.
7. ↑ Taeza, A.D. (April 12, 2023). Hehe I boarded this one! Hands down my favorite of the few scenes I got to work on for the s3 special >:D very very big thanks to @OffBrandLink and @minbitt for their guidance and helping me do this one justice!. (Quote Tweet). Twitter.
