Embry covered the whole ship as it was sinking into the ocean.

"We're alive! We're alive!" Tang cried out, before water started leaking in.

Embry whimpered a bit, as he was shaking.

Parts of his skin were cracking, Macaque noticed and knew what was happening.

"How about you hold on to that thought." Macaque said, the water hit Mei and a fish hit her face.

"Embry, how long can you hold on?" Syntax asked.

"Aaaah..!" Embry cried out, making a 2 with his tails.

"2 minutes...he can't hold us forever." Syntax said, typing on the pad on his arm.

"The pressure of the ocean is getting heavier for him to handle." Macaque said.

Sandy looked at the ship's controls and saw that a huge amount of the drone was in critical condition.

"This drone...it's not water adventure friendly!" Sandy said.

"Monkey King! You've got to do something!" Mk said.

"Huh? Why? Water never hurt no one." Monkey King said, before remembering.

"Oh! Right, mortality." 

Mk gave Monkey King a deadpanned look.

"Kid, just know that Wukong is an idiot in these types of situations." Macaque said, with a deadpan expression.

"I'll say." Spider Queen said.

Then, the ship started to shake.

Embry yelled in pain as he dropped the barrier and fell back.

Macaque caught him, as Embry panted.

He didn't notice how Macaque is giving Monkey King a smug look, while Monkey King looked pissed.

"Guys...What's that shaking?" Mk asked, scared.

"Something big." Mei said, equally scared.

"I know who this is...this isn't gonna be good." Ao Lie said.

'Haven't heard from you in a while.' Embry said.

"Meh. Nothing really to talk about." Ao said.

'But...who's coming?' Embry asked.

"Everyone, relax. Pretty sure this is just an old friend of mine." Monkey King said.

"You have friends? Wow, guess you're not lame after all." Macaque said, smirking.

Monkey King gave him a glare.

Monkey King was about to say something back, but something grabbed them, and were thrown. 

They looked around there surroundings with an awe look.

"The Dragon palace of the East Sea! We're in the Dragon palace of the East Sea!" Mei said, jumping up and down.

Embry now knew what Ao Lie meant.

'So...this is...Ao Guang?' Embry asked.

"Yep...this'll be interesting." Ao Lie said.

"Yeah, this is my kinda sort of old buddy's house. Where I got my staff." Monkey King said.

"You mean stole?" Macaque asked, making Monkey King laugh nervously. 

Then the doors opened.

"Oh! Here they come! Smiles everyone! Smiles!" Monkey King said.

Once the doors were completely opened, out came the Dragon of the East himself and he didn't look happy. 

"Hey, Ao Guang! Long time no-"

"Wukong! You dare return to my domain after humiliating me?! Tricking me?!" Ao Guang said, as he summoned a dragon from his body, it was massive!

Embry almost got on all fours and hissed, had it not been for Macaque rubbing his back.

'Can Mei do that?' Embry thought.

"What? The staff? But that's a total misunderstanding." Monkey King tried to explain.

Embry gave him a look, as he secretly summoned his weapon behind his back.

"And now I learn that it has been lost. You have given LBD exactly what she needs to destroy us all! I should execute where you stand." Ao Guang said, making Embry glare at him and growl.

"Monkey King, I thought he was your friend." Huntsman whispered.

"He knows about LBD?" Mk whispered.

"What are we gonna do now?!" Tang whispered shouted.

"Relax I got this." Monkey King said.

"I highly doubt that." Macaque said, as Spider Queen, Pigsy and Syntax agreed.

"Ahem. Maybe you forgot, I am the Great Sage Sun Wuko-!" 

Monkey King was thrown back by Ao Guang's dragon.

"Do not try to fool me a second time trickster! I can sense your weakness; your power is all but consumed!" Ao Guang ordered his soldiers to surround them. 

Mei and Embry decided to pull out their weapons, he looked surprised at them, especially Embry. 

His dragon disappeared and the soldiers withdrew their weapons.

"You two! Where did you get those swords?" Ao Guang asked Mei and Embry.

Embry hissed at him, as Mei patted his head.

"This sword belongs to my family and Embry got his when DBK attacked the city." Mei said, holding Embry's hand.

"I know those blades. It belonged to my brother, the Dragon of the West and the other sword belonged to the goddess of wisteria. You mean to tell me that you are a descendant of Ao Ji and Fuji?" Ao Guang asked both Mei and Embry. 

They both nodded.

"Mr. Dragon of the East Sea? Sorry to interrupt this little reunion, but you know about LBD. What's she's capable of." Mk asked, as he pulled out the map.

"We can stop her! We just need-!" 

Ao Guang summoned his dragon and went towards Mk.

Embry yelled out and was about to go to Mk, but Mei grabbed him.

 Mk closed his eyes and expecting impact, but nothing happened. 

He looked at his hand, the map was gone!

"You would tell me how to protect my people?" Ao Guang said, as his dragon handed him the map. 

"When you have unleashed this blight back into the world?!" Ao Guang yelled, as Mk started to tear up. 

Embry growled at him and lunged at him.

"EMBRY, NO!" Mei yelled, before Ao Guang's dragon knocked him back.

Embry growled at him, before guards pointed their spears at him.

"No, don't! Please! He's just upset! He has brain damage! Please!" Mei pleaded.

Ao Guang raised his hand, as the guards stood down.

Embry panted and stared at him, through his hair.

His veins were showing as he barred his fangs.

"Has he done this before?" Strong asked, scared.

Everyone nodded.

"Bring the girl and boy. Imprison the rest" Ao Guang said, as he went back inside the palace.

His advisor grabbed Embry and Mei's wrist, dragging them away from the others.

Embry fought and struggled, yelling and clawing at the guards who dragged him.

"Embry! Mei!" Mk yelled.

"Don't worry, guys! I'll figure something out!" Mei said, suddenly Monkey King's voice was heard in their heads.

"The only important thing here is to get the map back. Please be safe and be careful." Monkey King said telepathically, making them nod.

Mk pov

When the guards locked us in a jail, Tang started tearing up.

"My mother was right! Associating with the wrong people and this is where you end up! Even Embry is taken away!" Tang cried.

"Can you be quiet?!" Spider Queen snapped, making him shut up.

"I ain't gonna sit around and wait. I'm gonna break us out of here! Using this!" Pigsy pulled out a spoon from his pocket.

"A spoon?" Huntsman asked, looking at Pigsy with a confused look as he started to scrape the wall.

"There's nothing that a spoon can't handle! This baby will have us out in no time." Pigsy said, as he broke the spoon and pulled out a another one from his pocket.

Syntax rolled his eyes as he typed on his pad.

'Just how many does he have?' I thought, as I looked around.

"Wait...where's Macaque?" I asked.

Nobody pov

When the Mk and the gang were being taken away by the guards, hiding in the shadows was Macaque.

"Let's go find my kitten." Macaque said, as he zipped through the hallways of the palace in the shadows. 

He listened carefully for Embry and hearing which room he was in. 

After a couple of minutes, zipping through the shadows again, he stopped in front of the door where he heard Embry's voice. 

He came out from the shadows, placed his hand on the door handle, and carefully opened the door. 

His eyes widen at the sight.

Embry looked like a actual princess.

His hair was loose and flowed down his body, Macaque saw just how long his hair actually was.

It was long...down to his ankles!

Embry turned and saw him, he smiled and hugged him.

Macaque froze, unsure how to react.

"Ah?" Embry asked, poking Macaque's cheek.

Macaque blinked, turning red.

"Y-You look cute, peaches. Very cute." He said, smiling shyly.

Embry giggled and smiled at him.

Then the doors opened to reveal Mei, with her sword in the Dragon's Clan clothing.

"Embry! I finally found you! *Gasp* You look amazing! My bestie doesn't deserve to be this cute!!" Mei said, hugging him.

Embry giggled and hugged back.

"Alright, let's go find the map and save that idiot Wukong." Macaque said, as he brought everyone in the shadows and started heading towards the Treasure room, where the map was.

Treasure Room

When Macaque and everyone entered the treasure room, he resurfaced everyone including himself.

"Alright, let's go look for the map." Macaque said, everyone started to split up to look for the map. 

Embry started to look around for the map, while looking around he saw something.

"My butterflies!" Fuji said, making Embry confused.

He shrugged, placed the butterfly on the belt and ran to the others.

He found them, and Ao Guang!

'I'm too late!' He thought, as he went to them.

"Stealing from me? An order from the Monkey King no doubt." Ao Guang said.

"Excuse me? I don't take orders from that idiot. Embry is my top priority and I promised his uncles that I'll keep him safe." Macaque said, as he summoned his shadow staff.

"You are a member of the Dragon clan! Your allegiance is to your family!" Ao Guang shouted at Mei, making Embry hiss at him.

Ao Guang noticed the butterfly on his dress and was shocked.

"H-How did you find that?!" He asked.

Embry raised an eyebrow.

"My allegiance is to my family! But also to my friends! The fate of the world is at stake and this is important! We need the map, so we can find the weapon and stop LBD." Mei said, stepping front of Embry.

"There is no stopping her! She is beyond any of us!" Ao Guang said.

"But Monkey King said with this-"

"That Monkey King is not to be trusted!" Ao Guang yelled.

"I know you don't trust Monkey King, but please trust us!" Mei said, as she pulled out her sword. 

Embry dashed and jumped over Ao Guang and got the map. 

Ao Guang grabbed Embry's wrist, and he saw a vision. The four rings of the Samadhi Fire and purple flames engulfing the boy as he screamed in pain. 

When Ao Guang released his wrist, he looked shocked. 

Macaque grabbed Embry and Mei and ran out of the treasure room, going to find Sandy.

Still in a state of shock, Ao Guang looked at where Embry used to be.

"That boy...how can he have that?" Ao Guang asked.

With the others

They made it to Sandy and found him, with a van.

They got in and went to the others.

They crashed through the prison walls and found the others.

"Mei! Sandy! Embry! You jail breaked us! You broke the jail! We're free!" Mk said, as he fell back on the floor.

"That's right! We got the map too!" Mei said, as they entered the van. 

Monkey King pushed Macaque out of the way and placed Embry on his lap, Macaque glared at Monkey King.

"Ooo! Slay Mei! That dress looks fierce!" Tang said and he looked at Embry. 

"Embry, you absolutely stunning! You like a goddess from the legends! I don't remember the last time I saw your hair down!" He said, making Embry blush.

Mk blushed at Embry's outfit and the fact that his hair was down.

"Oh yeah! MK, I got you this!" Mei said, as she pulled out a jacket and a bag.

"Gasp! A new bag and jacket?! This changes my whole look! It's like a whole new me! Dreams really do come true!" Mk said as he took off his old jacket and put on the new jacket and bag.

Embry clapped and smiled.

"Pigsy, come on!" Tang shouted, as he quickly entered the van. 

Sandy started backing away from the broken cell, and started heading towards the entrance of the palace.

"Okay, we're in an underwater city in a van. Is anyone else seeing the problem here?!" Pigsy yelled. 

Sandy laughed.

"Oh, my sweet and sour Pigsy, I've got us covered." Sandy said, as he pressed the screen.

"Welcome to the Total Environment Automobile or T.E.A for short!" The digital Sandy said.

Embry giggled.

"Tea! It's called Tea you guys!" Sandy said, excitedly. 

"I think this is what true love feels like. Oh, and one more thing. It's water adventure friendly!"

Sandy was almost close to the front entrance, when they saw Ao Guang in front of the gates. 

He summoned his dragon and Sandy hit the brakes. 

Ao Guang opened the back door of the van, making Embry shoot up, the butterfly glowed as a shield came in front of them, shocking everyone.

"I will not allow to leave with that map or the descendent of the goddess!" Ao Guang yelled.

Embry's eyes glowed purple as he hissed at him, his hair was moving in different directions.

"What are you not getting? Using the Samadhi fire is the only way we're gonna stop LBD!" Monkey King said, as he held onto Embry.

"The Samadhi fire cannot be contained! It took almost all of the Fuji's powers to help seal them!" Ao Guang yelled.

"Your dragoness, please! We don't have any other choice!" Mei said.

Then, Ao Guang's and Monkey King's eyes started to glow, Embry felt a chill go up his spine

"He's coming." Monkey King said.

"The not mayor? He's here?" Mk asked, as he nodded.

"Yeah, and it looks like he brought some company." Tang said.

"We should leave now!" He said, as he looked at the radar showing how far or close the enemy was. 

Ao Guang told them that he'll hold the not mayor off as they escape. 

He was about to leave when Mei grabbed hold of his arm and thanked him.

He smiled softly and he looked at everyone.

"And descendent of the goddess, take this." Ao Guang said, as he pulled out a scroll.

Embry took the scroll and bowed. 

Ao Guang closed the back door and Sandy started to drive off into the sea. 

The van changed into a submarine, Embry and Mk looked out through the window and saw the city explode. 

Embry covered his mouth, as he bowed in respect to the ones in the city.

He looked at the butterfly and took it off, looking at it.

"Hey, where'd you get that?" Mei asked.

Embry pointed back to the ruined city.

"Oh." She said.

Then the butterfly started glowing, as it started flapping it wings.

"Um, is it supposed to do that?" Syntax asked, as it came close to him.

Everyone shrugged, watching as it flew around.

The butterfly flew back to Embry and landed on his hand.

It glowed again as it was now a tattoo.

Embry smiled at the tattoo, as he noticed it got dark.

Everyone was sleeping, except him.

His eyes glowed purple as he saw Fuji and Ao Lie in front of him.

"I'm proud of you, kid." Fuji said.

Ao Lie nodded.

"Don't worry. Everything will be fine. Once LBD is defeated, I'm sure everything will be fine." Ao Lie said. (Oh boy...things are about to get spicy in here)

Embry smiled at them, before clutching his chest.

He couldn't help but feel that...something bad was gonna happened.

Something that would change things forever...

To be continued....
