❝My body will remember that anger that will not leave me until I die.❞

YOU FINALLY MANAGED to gain control over your vision and hearing. You could see both Mk and Wukong struggling to pull the staff, but it was stuck in the ground. It was clear that Wukong was still weak from her control.

"Do you think you can just take it this easily? I have taken precautions to keep my plan intact." Lady Bone stated with an evil smirk on her face. Wukong was frustrated while Mk had a look of horror on his face, "Monkey King, what should we do? The staff is stuck and Mei is still trapped." Mk said while panicking. Wukong wasn't paying attention to Mk, he was looking at your eyes. The blue glow in your eyes was flickering to the mint green color, "They are fighting, keep going, Y/N." He thought with a smirk on his lips.

Lady Bone noticed this and grinned as well, "I see you're accepting your fate, Sun Wukong." She taunted, believing that Monkey King was finally giving up. He chuckled and gripped the staff tighter, "No, I'm just waiting for someone to help." He stated confidently which confused LBD.

"What are you-..."

"Give me back my body."

LBD froze upon hearing your voice coming out. You used this opportunity and pulled your sword out, throwing it at the ice covering the staff. When the sword stabbed the ice, it cracked which gave Wukong and Mk the chance to pull the staff.

"No!"

"Time for the hero stuff."

With that being said, both Mk and Wukong pulled the staff out then a golden light erupted as an impact. Lady Bone was pushed back, cracks appearing on your face. Macaque groaned in pain as he forced himself up, "Uh, guys? Now that Y/N is fighting her control." He pointed out which made the other two look at your direction. She growled in anger and floated, "Predictably unpredictable fools! I'm not one to rush destiny but I won't be undone by a troop of headstrong simians and an airhead!" She exclaimed in frustration before transformed into her true form and pushing your body away from her.

Macaque moved quickly and held you in his arms, "I got you, kid." He mumbled reassuringly. You forced your eyes open and looked up at the true Lady Bone Demon, "If the Dragon Girl will not give me the Samadhi Fire willingly, then I will rip it from her!" She yelled in frustration, forcing the Samadhi Fire out of Mei. A big fire explosion emerged from the core of the Mech that caused you all to be pushed from the Mech. Macaque helped up and ran to join the others. Thankfully, you were able to grab your sword before joining your friends.

Once down there, Macaque placed you on your feet, "Thank you..." You mumbled as he let go of you, earing a nod from him. Wukong rushed to your side along with Mk, "Y/N, are you alright? Did she hurt you?" Monkey King asked you, feeling concerned about you. You nodded your head and smiled for the first time, "I-I'm alright, no need to worry." As you said that, Wukong was surprised to see you smile. He even saw a bit of spark in your eyes since they used to be so dim and emotionless. On the other hand, Mk had a small blush on his face, feeling fluttered by your pure smile, "It's the first time I see them smile" He thought in awe, but he quickly shook his head and focused on the task at hand.

"You're right, MK. If you had never found that staff, none of this would have been possible. A delivery boy to the end." Lady Bone said as the Mech activated, summoning two swords covered in the Samadhi Fire. Mk stepped forward to end this battle once and for all. Pigsy wanted to stop him, but Wukong prevented him, "Now watch as I fulfill my destiny and begin this world anew! No Monkey King, no Monkie Kid! Nothing!" As LBD said that, she slammed the swords down on Mk then laughed. However and to her surprise, Mk had summoned his Monkey Mech to block her attack.

"Mk!" Tang exclaimed excitingly.

"That's my boy!" Pigsy added proudly.

Everyone, even you, were surprised by Mk's power. Lady Bone was getting frustrated by this, "No. No! I will not be stopped by a foul, insignificant creature! You would allow this world to continue to fester and rot, the eternal misery of countless souls because of your sentimentally for mortal pleasures?!" She shouted with fury. You forced yourself to stand up straight and grip your sword tightly. Mk continued to hold Lady Bone's swords back, "You can't judge things by their worst qualities!" You all heard Mk speak, motivating his friends to help him.

"This world might not be perfect but it's still worth fighting for!" Tang stated, forming a golden symbol on the ground.

"Yeah! Sometimes it's that little bit of char that makes for a more flavorful meat, even if it is a bit tangy." Pigsy joined as a pink aura appeared around him.

Mo moewed, standing on Sandy's shoulder, "You said it, Mo. The world may be full of darkness but to let the light shine, all we need to do is stand together!" Sandy said with a green aura of his own.

You saw both Wukong and Macaque give their powers to Mk along with the others, creating the Celestial Monkey Mech, "The perfect world is what we make it. So as long as I have my friends by my side, this world! Is! Perfect!" You watched Mk hold back the Bone Mech, "The fire is what gives the her more power." You thought while gritting your teeth in anger. Before you could do anything, you saw green flames shot from the Bone's Mech to the Monkey Mech.

"Mei." You mumbled, happy that the last source of power slipped away from Lady Bone's grasp. Tang summoned another symbol, freeing everyone from LBD and gathering more power for Mk. The boy then summoned a staff and it got bigger and bigger. He lowered the staff on the Mech and then Ne Zha appeared in the air and attached his Fire Wheels to the celestial mech. However, Lady Bone used her last remaining powers to create a protective barrier.

"Here comes..."

"No! You will not take my destiny from me!"

You gripped your sword and ran as fast as possible before jumping high up, "Mist Breathing: First Form: Low Cloud, Distant Haze." You lowered your sword on the Mech's arms, shattering them and breaking the barrier, but it also shattered your sword as well. This gave Mk the chance to attack Lady Bone.

"Kid!"

With that, Lady Bone was defeated.

◈━━━━━━━ ▣ ━━━━━━━ ◈

Finally, Lady Bone was beaten and you were fully free from her control. However, you looked down sadly at your broken sword, it went with you in many fights and battles. You were also pretty tired because of Lady Bone draining your energy. Plus, you probably caught a fever from the cold of her energy. Suddenly, someone attacked you with a hug.

"Y/N! I can't believe that witch took over your body! I wanted to rip her apart for doing that!" It was Mei who hugged you tightly, she was still angry by what that demon did to you.

"I'm fine now." You said, your voice shaking was your breathing was heavy.

She then pulled away to look at your face just as the others joined her, "Uh... Y/N, are you alright? You're heaving." She asked, noticing how pale your face was. You smiled and nodded your head, "Yes, I'm fine. Just a bit tired. There's no need to worry." You tried to assure her, your body trembling slightly. Redson raised an eyebrow at you, "And Trembling too, I don't think you look good-... Holy! What's wrong with your face?" He exclaimed upon seeing how you look.

"What do you mean? I'm fine, I just-..."

You couldn't finish your sentence as you fell back, passing out. Everyone rushed to your side, "Oh no! They are burning up! Y/N has a fever!" Tang exclaimed with worry upon touching your forehead. You had passed out due to the fatigue and the fever you received from the coldness of Lady Bone. Everyone was concerned about you, especially Wukong, Mk, and Redson.

Meanwhile, you opened your eyes, seeing yourself laying on the grass. You felt someone holding you, "See? Everything turned out just fine." You heard the familiar voice of your father. When you looked up, you saw both of your parents smiling down at you, "Mother... Father..." You thought as tears rolled up your eyes. Your ears then heard another person calling you, "Y/N." You turned to the direction of the voice and saw your brother. He crouched down beside you and held your hand, "You did great." He told, finally seeing his smile after all those years. You found yourself crying when you remembered what happened in the past, but you were grateful that he was no longer mad at you.

"Brother... Thank you."
