Mei is a member of the fabled and prestigious Dragon Family. When Mei is asked to house sit for her parents, MK begs to come along. Of course, General Ironclad, one of the Demon Bull King’s minions, hears that the family will be gone and realizes there’s an opening to infiltrate the famed Dragon Temple House and steal the legendary Dragon Blade. But Mei defends her home and claims her birthright as the wielder of the fabled sword.

## Plot

At Pigsy's Noodles, Mei was playing *Monkey Mech* with MK and was winning until she receives a call from her mother, who tells her to look after the Dragon House while she and her husband are gone. Overhearing the conversation, MK convinces Mei to take him, Sandy, and Mo to Mei's home so they can have a sleepover, which Mei unwillingly agrees to. However, unknownist to the others, General Ironclad was spying on them and was told by Princess Iron Fan to get the Dragon Blade for her.

At the Dragon House, MK, Sandy, and Mo becomes fascinated by house's appearance and tells Mei that it must've been great to live there. Although, Mei says she's not sure, as she didn't get to do what she wanted while she was growing up at the time.

After getting inside, MK and Sandy started messing with all the Dragon Family's artifacts, which bothers Mei until she yells at them to stop. Moments later, Mei gives a tour to MK, Sandy, and Mo until they come across the Dragon Blade, where Mei says that it used to belong to one of her ancestors, the Dragon of the West.

At the game room, Mei tells MK, Sandy, and Mo to stay while she gets everything ready. However, when Mei left, MK accidentally breaks the pinball machine and tries to fix it, but only for the pinball machine to break even more.
