Extended
MK receives a mysterious call from Monkey King. Turns out, he may have accidentally knocked over a "Celestial Dumpling". It's streaking toward earth, and if it hits... well, everything will be destroyed. To contain the Dumpling, MK and Tang must find a Mystical Vase at Flower Fruit Mountain, a place replete with mystery and danger.

## Plot

At Pigsy's Noodles, MK was mopping the floors until he received a call from Monkey King, who warned him that a Celestial Dumpling is heading towards Earth and that he needs him to destroy it before it hits. After ending the call, Monkey King continued his conversation regarding a demon with the celestial beings after having a fight with them, which caused the Celestial Dumpling to fall towards Earth in the first place.

Back at Megapolis, MK tells the others that they need to head to Flower Fruit Mountain so they can find something that could destroy the Celestial Dumpling, but he only takes Tang with him, as they both know Monkey King well.

After arriving to Flower Fruit Mountain, MK began to think that he should've brought Mei with him after Tang failed to land the Cloud Bike safely. But Tang implied that he's perfect for the mission as he knows more, making MK beginning to be annoyed by Tang's knowledge of Monkey King.

Meanwhile, Huntsman attempts to enter the Shuilian Cave to look for the demon-revealing mirror, but failed, as only Monkey King and MK can open the barrier. However, Huntsman later saw MK and Tang enter the cave, allowing him to go inside as well.

While inside, Tang explained that he and MK should use Guanyin's Mystical Vase to stop the Celestial Dumpling, as they could use the water produced from the vase to suck up the dumpling. After hearing this, MK said that they could find the vase inside the room that's filled with Monkey King's possessions. However, while they were inside, they were both attacked by Huntsman. While MK battled Huntsman, Tang continued to look for the vase. Eventually, Huntsman was stopped by Tang after he used a specialized sword on him. Realizing that the results of the dumpling hitting Megapolis would affect him too, Huntsman decided to let MK and Tang go while he escaped with the demon-revealing mirror.

After he escaped, MK suggested that they should use the sword on the Celestial Dumpling, but Tang threw it away and picked Guanyin's vase. However, thinking that he picked up the wrong one, Tang later picked up a different vase, and the two return to Megapolis. Once the two returned, they used the vase to suck up the Celestial Dumpling and trap it inside. However, the vase broke and the remains of the dumpling splattered all over the city. And MK and Tang both agreed that they should've brought more vases. Meanwhile, at the Silken Web Cave, Huntsman brought the demon-revealing mirror to the Spider Queen. He soon saw his reflection and realized that the mysterious girl is a demon. Before he could say anything, the girl took the mirror and put it in the Trigram Furnace.
