❝Forever's a long time, bud. Trust me.❞

DURING YOUR JOURNEY, you decided to take this opportunity to meditate deeply in order to regain your power again and help your companions. You were glad that Mk had regained his gold vision in one of his adventures when you were meditating.

Right now, you were in deep meditation and you could feel your powers returning. However, something suddenly interrupted your training and you found yourself forcefully waking up. Your energy raised to the max and you stood before the door of the van, "Stand back, Master! Y/N will handle this demon!" You exclaimed before kicking the door open, leaving the van. Both Tang and Pigsy were confused as to what had happened to you, you didn't call anyone master before. Unbeknownst to you that the demon was watching you. You looked around for any danger, but found nothing, "Master, it's safe to come out now. You too, Piglet." You said as you waved your hand for the two to get out.

"Master?!"

"Piglet?!"

"Ugh, fine. Zhu Bajie, better?"

You groaned in annoyance which confused the two of them, "Uh, Monkey— Uh, Y/N? Who exactly do you think we are?" Tang asked you, watching you holding Mo in your hands. You turned around with a smile on your face, "What kind of question is that, Master?" You replied with a question of your own, but you gasped and dropped Mo, rushing to Tang and gripped his shoulders, "Unless, Master, you've lost your memory! You have to remember who you are! That's Zhu Bajie, the Celestial Swine! This is Sha Wujing of the Flowing Sands River! And you are the Great Monk Tang Sanzang! We're on a journey to deliver sacred texts to the West! I'm your loyal companion, bound to keep you safe from demons who know if they eat you, they'll become immortal! You! Have! To! Re-Mem-Ber!" You exclaimed with worry, shaking Tang violently.

The strong shaking you did made Tang dizzy, "Okay, okay, I remember." He told you while Pigsy snickered in mockery. You were glad that he finally remembered, but you realized that you didn't have your staff. You ignored their conversation and focused on finding the staff instead until you found a normal stick, "Ah, my trusty staff!" You picked it up, unaware that it was just a stick. Your ears perked up when you heard what Pigsy said.

"So this is just the amnesia rules, right? So we bonk her on her dumb head and boom! Back to normal."

"What'd you say, Piglet?" You sent him a glare.

"Piglet?! Oh, that's it."

The two of you glared at each other that there was lightning between you, "Master, just say the word, and this little piggy will be a steamed ham!" You angrily confronted as you continued glaring at Pigsy. Tang started to panic and he didn't want you two to get into an argument for nothing, "Alright, let's calm down. Let's not get carried away!" Just as he said that, something grabbed Tang and took him away from you.

You and Pigsy watched in shock as the poor man got kidnapped, "The demon! It took our Master!" You yelled in concern, looking back at the pig.

"We gotta do something!"

"Exactly! Let's go!"

With that being said, you grabbed the stick and Mo in your hands while wrapping your tail around Pigsy's, moving quickly to rescue Tang from the deadly demon.

══════◄••❀••►══════

You were searching through the grass for any clues that would lead you to Tang. Of course, Pigsy told you that you were going to be a mentor to a boy named Mk who you didn't remember, but you refused to believe since you thought that you would come out as a horrible teacher.

Pigsy sighed and crossed his arms, "Can we go find "Master" already?" He questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"You know as well as I do that in order to find out what type of demon we're dealing with, we need to talk to the Local Tudi."

"The local what now?"

You ignored the pig and start to call out for Tudi to get information from him. Suddenly, a mound appeared and threw Pigsy before a small man popped out of it, "Ah, there you are!" You stated and rushed to the local Tudi, "Oh, great Tudi, a demon has captured our Master and we fear for his safety. So you heard of anything like that?" You asked him while bowing respectfully. The tiny man started to talk in a stranger language and you paid close attention to him.

You remained like this for hours till morning that even Pigsy fell asleep, "You don't say. Thank you for your knowledge." You said in gratitude before turning to Pigsy who just woke up.

"What'd he say?"

"The demon we seek is... in that castle!"

You pointed at a castle that was in fact in your the entire time. This made Pigsy so frustrated as they wasted the whole night and Tang was imprisoned in this nearby castle, "Finding that out took all night?!" He yelled, his eyes shooting fire of rage. You smiled and put your hand on his shoulder, "No, of course not! This guy's just awesome! So many great stories!" You reasoned and dragged him with you, making your way to the building.

-SMALL TIME SKIP-

You crashed in the castle through the wall with Pigsy screaming loudly and Mo on your head, seeing Tang with the Scorpion Queen. Tang was wearing scorpion themed clothes. You landed down on the ground and turned to face the queen, "Unhand my Master, you evil demon! I am Y/N and the monk is under my protection!" You warned her, pointing the stick at her.

The Scorpion Queen frowned in anger, "Protection from what? A beautiful queen?" She question as she started act innocent.

"Look, lady, we are not gonna let you eat my friend!" Pigsy exclaimed with frustration.

"I would never!"

"Oh, really? Then why all the illusions?!" You smirked confidently and snapped your fingers, using your powers to remove the illusion. The true form of the Scorpion Queen was revealed to you all and that was enough to make her very angry, "Fine. Fine! I'm a demon, okay?! You happy?! I just wanted to be a beautiful queen but ugh, "I'm a demon."" She started to complain while Tang started to slowly sneak away from her, but she picked him with her tail, "Uh, uh, hey, just so we're clear. Eating me won't make you immortal." Tang nervously told her.

"Of course it will! He's the Great Monk Tang Sanzang!" You quickly stepped in, saying the only thing Tang was trying to disconfirm.

"Ignore him. It's the pepper talking."

After a bit conversation and the refusal of the Scorpion Queen to let Tang go, you and her engaged into a fight and broke the stick. However and before it gets escalated, Tang stopped you two, "Wait! I get that you're alone, but lying about who you are, forcing people to be your companions is not the answer." The dark haired man said, trying to politely address the demon. The Scorpion Queen appeared to be effected by what Tang said and looked down and said, "I've been here by myself for so long. I heard Monkey Queen talk about you being her companions. Well, that's all I ever wanted: Friendship."

"You can't steal friendship. It's something that's earned."

"He's right. The three of us are friends because we choose to be." You spoke up which made Both Pigsy and Tang look at you with shock.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, we're friends?" Pigsy asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Of course we are! Everyone needs friends! Can you imagine what I'd be like without friends? I'd probably turn into a really manipulative jerk or something." You laughed and wrapped your arms around the two of them. Tang looked at the Scorpion Queen who was still sad, "Anyway, you'll find someone that wants to stay with you in this... lovely home... forever." He slowly said, hoping that she would just let you go.

"Yeah, yeah, but where am I gonna find someone like that?"

"Ooh hoho, I just had the best idea." Pigsy said with a knowing smile on his face.

══════◄••❀••►══════

You all managed to leave the castle after letting the local Tudi stay with the Scorpion Queen. However...

Your condition got worse than before. Both Tang and Pigsy noticed this because you were looking for your staff again. Tang immediately went to look for something to bonk you on the head so you can get your memories back.

You looked back and Pigsy looking through a book. Curiosity got the best of you, so you went and to see what this book contained, "Hmm, you know, they really got your face just right. Super on model!" You happily said with sparkling eyes, taking the book from him. Pigsy sighed and gave up on taking the book back, "Yeah... so hey, uh, listen. I guess I just wanted to say before you turn back to... Maybe you ain't so bad for the kid after all. Just do me a favor huh? Keep 'im safe, alright? When we get the three Rings of Samadhi."

"Four Rings."

"Four?! You never mentioned four—"

Pigsy couldn't finish his sentence when a huge rock fell on you. Tang believed that this would work while Pigsy thought that this might have killed you. Suddenly, cracks appeared on the rock and you emerged out of. You coughed out steams of flames with a loud scream, "Hey, what-why is my mouth so hot?" You asked, feeling your mouth burning. You suddenly felt someone hug you and when you turned you saw it was Tang, "Hey, why are you hugging me?" You asked him with puzzlement.

"Oh, it worked! You got your memories back! Pigsy gave you a pepper. I-I told him not to and I thought you were..."

As Tang proceeded to explain what was happening to you, Pigsy was still thinking of what you said about the forth ring. He just hoped that you were blabbering and that there was no forth ring.
