Now that MK’s got the powers of Monkey King, his friends are asking him to do all sorts of tasks. After Mr. Tang mentions the famed power of the Monkey King to duplicate himself, MK decides to do the same and creates clones that will do everything for everyone while he stays home and plays video games. But, since MK doesn’t really know how to use his powers, the clones go crazy, wreaking havoc. MK must reclaim his clones before they do too much harm.

## Plot

After helping Pigsy and Sandy during the day and hanging out with Mei at night too much, MK becomes exhausted due to the activities. When Tang notices MK's problem, he tells him that he shouldn't work too hard and relax. MK, however, says he can't, as he doesn't want to let Pigsy, Sandy, and Mei down and hang out with them.

    When Tang mentions the Monkey King's replication powers, he shows MK an example of how to do so, causing another MK to appear. Overjoyed, MK gets an idea to make multiple copies of himself so he can be in different places at the same time.

As the clones were doing their tasks, they begin to overdo it, with the Delivery Clone eating the noodles he was supposed to deliver, the Painter Clone painting too much and threatening Sandy, and the Party Clone making everyone, including Mei, stay inside at the Anti-Gravity Arcade to party.

After Pigsy knows about the clones, he gets mad at MK until the Delivery Clone falls on him. When Tang suggested to do a Kung Fu move to get rid of the clone, MK gets rid of the clone by doing so. After rescuing Sandy from the Painter Clone, MK heads to the Anti-Gravity Arcade to save Mei.

    However, the remaining MK Clone attacked MK until he got rid of them and saved Mei.

At night, MK and Mei were at the former's house. There, MK says that he learns his lesson about making clones of himself but makes another MK clone to raise the volume of the TV. Enraged, Mei attacks the two MKs.
