Nobody pov/In the past

In the center of the ritual circle, a child was surrounded by maroon color flames, laughing evilly.

Four warriors tried their hardest, not losing focus. 

The great monk Tripitaka kept his feet to ground, making sure not to lose.

"For the Samadhi Fire to split in four, you must harmonize your energies!" Tripitaka said.

"Hold on everyone. This may feel funny." Fuji said, as she pulled out some wisteria. 

She was about blow them, when baby Redson's power grew stronger once again. 

Once the power settled down, Tripitaka let out a breath, his eyes glowed golden, surrounding the area with a golden color, Fuji took this time and blew, the petals went towards Sun Wukong, Nezha and DBK. 

The petals landed on them, as they felt the energy flow through.

"WOO! Thanks mom!" Wukong said.

"Thanks, babe." Nezha said, smiling at her.

DBK nodded at her, as they all held their hands out.

Wukong looked at his hands in front of him and saw a golden ring was being formed, along with Nezha, Fuji and DBK.

"You know, this is kind of easier than I thought it would be." Wukong said, but a sudden urge of energy appeared around the child, meaning they couldn't lose focus, not even for a minute.

"Sunny, you must stay focused! We're almost done with the ritual! Hold on a little longer!" Fuji said.

Then, Wukong lost his footing and fell on the ground, everyone gasp. 

Baby Redson laughed again, as pieces of the fire came out and headed towards the rings, but one lingering flame heading towards the great Monk, the Dragon of West covered the great Monk bracing himself. 

But Fuji made a shield in front of the dragon, but that didn't go as planned. 

The fire bounced off the shield and hit Fuji, right in the back.

"AAAAAAAAGH!!" She screamed.

"MOM/FUJI!!" Everyone screamed.

She growled, as her eyes turned purple.

"THAT'S IT!!" She screamed, as the area turned purple around them.

Her body began to glow, as she rose in the air.

Wisteria petals flew around her, as she twirled in the air.

She curled up in a ball and broke free, transforming into her form.

"Whoa..." Nezha said, blushing.

"Mom?" Wukong asked.

"Fuji?" DBK asked.

Tripitaka, Dragon of the West, Baije and Wujing were equally shocked.

She raised her hand, millions of wisteria petals appeared.

"No more." She said, bringing her hand down.

The petals landed on Redson, causing him to scream.

A bright light flashed, before the area turned back to normal.

Everyone looked, and saw Fuji and Baby Redson, falling.

Nezha and Wukong were about to get them, before wings appeared on Fuji's back.

She grabbed Redson and rocked him a bit, smiling.

"For a little guy, you caused a ton of trouble here." She said, as she landed on the ground.

When she looked up, she saw DBK approaching her.

"Here you go, DBK." Fuji said, as she carefully handed DBK his son, without waking him up.

"Thank you for saving him. But are you alright?" DBK asked.

"I've been through worst, big guy. I'm fine." She said, punching his arm.

A loud noise rang through the area.

"Ow! Hey!" Wukong yelled, holding his head.

" Great job, Wukong. Way to almost get us all killed!" Nezha yelled.

"Okay, you two, that's enough." Fuji said, walking over to them.

"But Mommm~." Wukong whined.

"Not now, Wukong." She said.

The others shook their heads at Fuji's parenting towards the monkey and deity, but knew something was wrong.

Fuji's yell echoed in their ears.

Fuji felt a hot flash run through her, as she collapsed.

"Mom! Are you okay?!" Wukong asked, holding her hand.

"I-I'm fine. That just took a lot out of me." She said, holding up the ring.

Present Time

The fake mayor held Embry by his throat, ice pierced in neck, struggling to free him. 

Mk stayed where he is, while The spiders, Pigsy and Sandy were almost covered in ice. 

Tang looked at his 'son' with a look of fear.

"Go on and finish the ritual scholar!" The fake mayor demanded.

"No, don't!" Embry cried, but whined as the ice went deeper in his neck.

"One more word, and your life is done." The fake mayor hissed.

Tang started to cry, until he saw a golden cicada on the map. 

He was surprised to see it out in the cold, the golden cicada flown up into the air and disappeared.

"All right. You win." Tang said, as he took a deep breath, once he let out a breath, his eyes glowed a golden color.

The area surrounding them changed into golden color.

'No....' Embry thought.

With Wukong, Nezha and Macaque

"No! They were supposed to wait!" Wukong said, as he tried to free himself from the ice.

"What's happening over there?" Macaque asked.

"The fake mayor has Embry by his throat, we need to get over there now!" Wukong said, Nezha looked at him.

"Are you absolutely sure the Samadhi Fire is the only way to stop LBD?" Nezha asked.

"Only if we move right now." Wukong said, Nezha grit his teeth.

"You better be right" Nezha said, as his spear started to glow a pink color and the spear became lotus petals.

"Let's hope my aim is as good as it used to be." He said, making both Monkey King and Macaque confused. 

The lotus petals hit the ice surrounding them, they were free from the ice. 

Without a moment to spare, they all left quickly to the ritual site.

Embry pov

While the fake mayor had me in his hold, the rings started to reveal the maroon and purple flames.

I looked at one of the rings, then I remembered the warnings Fuji gave me.

"NO YAMETE!! KORE O SHINAIDE KUDASAI!!" I screamed. (NO, STOP!! DON'T DO THIS!!)

A golden light popped out of my chest, making the fake mayor laugh.

"Excellent!" The fake mayor said.

"Stop!" I heard Monkey King, as he and Macaque came rushing towards us, but it was too late. 

Next thing I knew was me being covered in the same maroon and purple flames, I screamed in pain, the flames burned the fake mayor, but he vanished away, quick.

My whole body...was in pain!!

"We're too late." Wukong said, as he and Macaque got up from the ground.

"Huh? What?" Mk said, as he was in a daze for moment, he looked at me. 

"Embry! What's happening?! Don't worry! I'll find something to cool you down!" Mk said, as he grabbed an arm full of snow and threw it, but the snow quickly evaporated. 

Mk tried to rush towards me, but he was immediately tackled by Wukong.

"Mere water cannot extinguish the Samadhi Fire. Nothing can. The fire will destroy Embry and burn everything in its path." Nezha said, as he freed Mei, Sandy, Tang, Pigsy and the spiders from the ice.

"What!?" Mei said, as she looked at Nezha with disbelief.

"Yeah! What!?" Mk said.

"My baby!!" Spider Queen yelled, Macaque clenched his hand into a fist and looked at Wukong.

"Wukong! There better a good explanation to why blossom is like this!" Macaque said, as he was about to punch him.

"Stop! It was me. I mean yeah the fake mayor forced me to do it and I'm starting to have second thoughts on the whole thing now." Tang said.

 "Tang...it wasn't your...fault!" I said, trying to ignore the burning pain.

"B-But I don't know how or why, I just felt like I had to. Like it was destiny." He said. 

The word 'destiny' echoed throughout the mountain, making Macaque put his fist down.

"I hate to interrupt but can someone explain what is going on! What's happening to Embry!?" Mk asked.

"Wukong, care to explain?" Macaque hissed, through gritted teeth.

"Okay. This is gonna sound really bad, but hear me out." Wukong said, Nezha glared at him.

"Wukong...what have you done?" Nezha asked, Wukong started to explain.

"I made a mistake. During the ritual, a piece of the Samadhi Fire got away from me. I don't know what happened, but I guess part of it was sealed in the closest vessel that could contain it. The one person I wished it wasn't...Mom." That made everyone gasp.

"Embry's ancestor." Sandy said.

"...What." Macaque growled.

"Making Embry the fifth ring!" Mk said.

"You knew..." Mei said, as her hand formed a fist.

"All along, you knew he had that thing inside of him!" Mei yelled at Wukong.

"Mei, hang on a second." While Mk was trying to calm Mei down, Wukong was tackled to the ground, by a angry teary Macaque.

"AND YOU HID THAT FACT FROM ALL OF US! WHY!? WHAT WERE YOU AFRAID OF?! THAT YOU WERE GOING TO HAVE TO TEAR HIM APART TO GET YOUR PRECIOUS SAMADHI FIRE!?" Macaque yelled.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THIS?! WHY?! MOM'S DEAD, BECAUSE OF YOU!! SHE'S NO LONGER HERE, BECAUSE OF A STUPID MISTAKE YOU CAUSED!! You....I WISH SHE NEVER FOUND YOU THAT DAY!!" He screamed, tears going down his face.

"ENOUGH!!" I screamed, but I heard Fuji as well.

A burst of energy came out of me, the fire formed a human silhouette. 

Nezha was about to protect my my friend, but Sandy protect them instead, Wukong protected Mk, Mei, Macaque and the spiders.

"This wasn't supposed to happen. I thought if I could somehow get the Samadhi Fire out you without hurting you, of course. Then I could put it inside myself, and I don't know use it to burn up LBD or something. I was kind of making this up as I went." Wukong said.

"THAT WAS YOUR PLAN?!" Macaque and Nezha yelled.

"That's not a good plan." Mk said.

"Yeah...To be honest, this is the first time I've said it out loud, so..." Wukong trailed off.

"We trusted you! All of us! How could you lead us into a fight without a real plan!?" Mei screamed, from behind.

I screamed, as I felt Ume, Ao Lie and Fuji leave my body and onto the ground.

"Is that...who I think it is?" Huntsman asked.

"Embry!!" Ume yelled, but he was pushed back by the flames.

"We can't get to close! As much as I want to help him, we can't. It's too dangerous!" Ao Lie yelled, covering himself from the burning flames.

"M-Mom...?" Macaque asked.

She looked at him, smiled and went towards me.

"No...No! Stay back!!" I screamed, as the flames burned Fuji's clothes.

"I'm not leaving you alone, kit. Not like this." She said, coming closer.

"No! I'm too unstable to control this power! Please! Get away!" I begged, but she ignored me.

I noticed Macaque, next to her.

"No way, I promised to look after you and I don't plan on breaking it!" Macaque said, as the fire started burn his clothes and fur.

Fuji smiled at him, before looking at me.

I panted in fear, as the fire began to get too crazy.

"You can't help me! Nobody can! Just please...LEAVE ME ALONE!!" I sobbed, before they hugged me tight.

"Let us help you like how you helped us! You saved me from continuing my vengeance from Wukong and taught me how to just let things go. You let me stay with you, recommended me to go to  therapy sessions, you even gave me a chance. I enjoyed hanging out with you and your friends and learning different things I never thought I'll get to do!" Macaque said.

"I have stayed with you, since the day you were born. I watched you, lose your family and I couldn't do nothing but watch! It hurt me, because I couldn't help you when you were suffering! I had to watch my sons, battle each other, I had to them kill...I had to see them do so much and go through so much trauma, without me there! I won't let the same thing happen to you again! I promise." Fuji said.

I gasped, as the fire started to vanish.

The fire surrounding me, started to disappear, along with the silhouette, and the four rings fell to the ground. 

Everyone was shocked to see how I managed to control the fire somehow, parts of my clothing were burnt away, but my skirt was still intact.

"He managed to control it..." Nezha said, looking surprised.

I started to cry, as I hold returned both Macaque's and Fuji's embrace, but I pushed them away in fear, when I felt the fire.

"Macaque...Fuji...Everyone...I know you all want to help me, but...I can't risk hurting all of you. I'm sorry." I said, as I vanished.

Nobody pov

"EMBRY!!" Everyone screamed.

"Embry.." Mk said, as he Sandy caught him.

"We have to go after him!" Mk said.

"Kid! You're in no state to be going anywhere!" Pigsy said.

"But the Samadhi Fire-" 

"Should've burned the boy to ash by now. And yet it hasn't, which is curious." Nezha said.

"Could be, because we're here?" Ao Lie said.

"How long were you with him anyway?" Syntax asked.

"I was with him since new years." Ume said, making everyone shiver a bit at the sudden memory.

"I just arrived here some days ago." Ao Lie said, rubbing the back of his neck.

Mei wanted to be in awe at her ancestor, but she was more worried about Embry.

"Embry will be fine. I have faith that someone will help him, control the fire. And Macaque, Nezha...I told Wukong not to tell you, because I knew this would happen. I understand your upset at him, but I gave him word, to not tell anyone...not even you kid." Fuji said.

"But...why?" Macaque asked, head down.

She went to him and raised his head.

"Because I know you. You have been attached to me, since I found you that day. If I told you what happened...Wukong wouldn't even be around anymore, and I would've lost you." She said.

"So...what now?" Spider Queen asked.

"So all we gotta do is get Embry some fire training? That's easy! All the more reason to go after him!" Mk declared.

"There's no time for that. Now that the Samadhi Fire is forged, LBD will stop at nothing to obtain it! If we show up unprepared, we might as well hand Embry over to her right now! No, I'm gonna do what I should've done originally. Stop LBD...alone." Wukong said.

"Wukong, no. Bad idea!" Fuji said.

"Brother, please! There's another way we can do this!" Ao Lie said.

 "You said the Samadhi Fire was the only way that could stop her!" Mk said.

"I know what I said, but I've beaten her before I'll... I'll do it again! Mei was right, I need to stop dragging you and him into my fights. All of you. I'm sorry, bud, I need you to sit this one out." Wukong said, before getting on his cloud and flying away.

"WUKONG/BROTHER!!" Ao Lie and Fuji yelled.

 "If one more of my friends flies off today, I'm gonna lose it! The only way we win is together, that's Monkie Kid 101!" Mk said, crying.

"If Sun Wukong fights LBD alone, the chances of him surviving are slim." Nezha said, earning a disapproving glare from Fuji and Macaque.

"If that motherf*cker touches him, I swear to Buddha himself! I will...it will take the whole Celestial Realm to get me off her!" Fuji said, making everyone scared.

"I'm gonna say this once, I didn't miss that." Macaque said, as Nezha nodded.

"And what are the chances of Embry not destroying the world with the Samadhi Fire?" Mei asked, making Nezha look away.

"Less, slim?" He said, unsure.

"Really flower boy?" Macaque said.

"Hey, it's not like I've done this before!" Nezha said.

"Then it's settled. We gotta go bring Monkey King back." Mk said.

"You three go. We'll only slow you down." Tang said.

"Ao Lie...can you stay here with them? Ume, you to." Fuji said.

"Hell no. I'm not leaving you behind again." Ume said.

"Ume...not now. Please." She said.

Ume groaned.

"Fine! But only because I don't wanna deal with LBD's sh!t at the time." He said, making Fuji smile at him.

"Yeah! The rest of us will fire up the old T.E.A. and track down Embry!" Sandy said.

Mk, Nezha, and Fuji hopped into Nezha's vehicle and drove off, leaving the others behind.

With Embry

Embry landed in a jungle, resulting creating a crater where a lake used to be, he started crying again.

"Little Lotus." He gasped and turned around, to see Redson.

"What're you doing here?" Embry asked.

"It's obvious, I followed you and everyone. Seeing you now have the power of the Samadhi Fire, looks like your due to some fire training." Redson said, with a grin.

Embry giggled a bit.

Redson helped him up and covered him with his jacket.

"For now, let's get you something to wear, and fixing your hair. Also, by the way, little lotus, you did a magnificent job during the talent show." Redson said, making Embry chirp in alarm.

"You were there?!" He exclaimed.

"Of course, and might I say, your voice was simply divine." Redson said, making Embry turn red.

Extra(Based off a comic)/With Mk, Nezha, and Fuji

As Nezha was driving, he was muttering to himself.

"I can't believe Wukong would do this...what am I saying, of COURSE he'd pull something like this.." He stopped, when he heard sniffling coming from Mk.

He looked and saw Mk was crying a bit, wiping his eyes with a tissue, from Fuji.

Nezha was quiet for a moment, before speaking.

"You don't have to hide them..." He said, making Mk shocked.

"W-What? *sniff* What're you talking ab-"

"Holding in that pain won't help you. That boy...Embry...He is really important to you..Wuong to, right?" Nezha asked.

Fuji wasn't really shocked to hear this.

Nezha was the guarding of children, and her boyfriend after all.

"Don't try to hold in that hurt...go ahead. I won't judge." Nezha said.

Out of nowhere, Mk lunged towards the front and hugged Nezha, shocking him, making him let go of the wheel.

"Oh crap." Fuji said, as she held on.

"Thank you." Mk said.

"WE ARE THE MIDDLE OF THE AIR, GET OFF!!" Nezha yelled.

Fuji laughed a bit, but looked at the sky.
