Xiuying listens as Tang narrates the old legend while Mushu looks bored as if knowing where this goes.

"The thing you need to understand about the old legends is that the story is never finished. There maybe no pages left to turn, but there is always more to the journey. Rising from the Netherworld, the Demon Bull King attacked. No one could stop him, no one could resist. No one except... the legendary Monkey King. The Monkey King used his magical staff to pick up a nearby mountain. He trapped the Demon Bull King underneath it. The Monkey King sealed the mountain with the staff that no other being could wield, trapping the Demon Bull King forever. With the battle won, the Monkey King vanished, never to be seen again. Legend says the staff still lies on top of that mountain, the one thing keeping our world from certain destruction. And with the Demon Bull King gone, civilization was able to advance into the amazing city we now live in. A world of elegant cultures, gentle loving people, a city brimming with five-star cuisine, and all because of the Monkey King."

"Oh, that's so good! Monkey King's so cool! He's so strong and handsome-" Mk gushed.

"Oh, MK. And you thought you knew all the Monkey King stories." Tang chuckled.

Mk pulls out his book to show pictures of his drawing and starts explaining.

"Oh, but I do. I got his whole life documented extensively in this unauthorized autobiography of Monkey King. Written and illustrated by yours truly. Like I knew he was born from a stone, and live behind a waterfall with his sweet little baby monkey friends! And- and- and oh!"

Xiuying smiles in amusement and swiftly takes his book to get a better look of his work, nodding at the art. Mushu yawned and looked at the book she's looking at.

"It's nice to know someone's taking in all these stories. Pearls of wisdom, dripping from my lips." Tang said with pride before clearing his throat. "Well, you know the deal: one story, one free bowl of Zha jiang mian. Hmm?"

"Huh? Oh right, free noodles! Yep, on it. How heavy do you think a mountain is? Compare to like-"

Mk attempts to grab the bowl but someone throws a spoon at him, scaring Cri-Kee who's in the middle of drinking soup of the noodles Xiuying bought earlier.

"Free noodles?!"

Pigsy takes the noodles with his eyes shadowed.

"No one gets a free meal at Pigsy's! I'm not running a charity here, Tang!" he shouted.

"Ah, but Pigsy, I was paying with wisdom." Tang calmly said.

Xiuying rolls her eyes at that and ignores them.

"Does he even have money?" Mushu deadpanned.

"Yeah? Well, wisdom don't pay the rent, you freeloader! And you!" Pigsy glared before pointing angrily at Mk who freezes. "You've been slacking off all morning! I've got a dozen orders that need to go out, so quit slacking and get packing!"

"Yeah. I was about to take my break. So..." Mk started.

"Wrong word, man..." Mushu shook his head.

"I wouldn't say that if I were you..." Xiuying muttered.

Pigsy stared at Mk, completely offended.

"Break? Break?! There's no break in war! I need workers. Soldiers in the army of Pigsy's Noodles, home of the world's longest noodles. How else am I gonna expand my business into enemy territory?"

"Uh, do you mean across the street?" Xiuying pointed out.

Pigsy glares at the other pig man from his shop who glares back.

"I stand by my statement! Now, hurry up!"

Mk nodded and ran off. Suddenly, Pigsy heard a slurping noise and turned to notice Tang with a bowl of noodles behind him. He grabs a spoon to attack Tang with it as the fight cloud comes on.

"Hey, get back here, you coward!"

"No, Pigsy!"

"I want my money!"

Xiuying sighs at this while Mushu and Cri-Kee shook their heads. She puts away the book and secretly pays the noodles for Tang as Mk walks out to deliver noodles. Though after listening to the tale, she is curious about the Monkey King and had a feeling like she knows him from somewhere. Mushu sees that and frowns as he clearly remembers that monkey, but rather not talk about him not because he's bad and all, he just... doesn't like him. Little did they know, the same bird from last night watches Xiuying leave before it flew off to follow Mk.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Xiuying meditates near the small river as she breathes in and out. Mushu and Cri-Kee are sitting besides her on the rock, trying to meditate as they hum. She was calm for a moment, listening to the sound of mother nature around her until her mind suddenly begins to show memories. She finds herself in the forest.

~ CENTURIES AGO ~

Mulan was meditating on the smooth rock as she listens to the sounds of mother nature, feeling calm and inner peace. She left Mushu and Cri-Kee alone with Khan to go find some food and wood for her to cook to make camp. She was all fine and alone when she heard a snap of a twig. Opening her eyes, Mulan looks around, not moving from her spot. She closes her eyes again to refocus on her meditation. But this time, she draws her sword after sensing someone close by and points it at upcoming enemy.

"Whoa! Easy! Quick to defense, huh?"

Mulan opens her eyes to see Wukong. She narrows her eyes to see him again.

"You. What are you doing here? I thought you're trapped in the mountain." she said.

"Well, not anymore! I came here to see you!" Wukong said, giving her a wink.

Mulan deadpans at this, not believing him. She stands up and begins swinging her sword at him, to which he dodges this.

"Hey! Wait! I mean it! I come in peace with my master!" Wukong exclaimed.

She doesn't listen to him and kept swinging. Wukong reluctantly pulls out his golden staff and blocks her attack. Mulan goes to swing towards his leg when he moves away from it and blocks again. Wukong swings his staff back at her to try and knock her sword away, but she had a good grip on it as she move her sword away from the staff and raises it up and swings it down. He blocks it again and turns to swing it back when she manages to cut his thigh before she backs away, keeping her sword up. Wukong winces, covering his cut.

Mulan glares and spins her sword, charging him. Wukong quickly spins his staff and blocks. The two goes at it for a while as they swing and block each other's attacks, unknowingly having an audience watching them like Wukong's master and his friends along with Mulan's animal friends. As soon as Mulan blocks another swing of his staff, she grabs the end of it and swings him around. As she did, she cuts his stomach cleanly, making him yelp in pain. She keeps a hold of his staff and swings her sword towards his face. Wukong grips onto her wrist to prevent the blade from hitting his face and then kicks her in the face. This causes her to drop her sword as he catches it.

At the same time, Mulan manages to grab a hold of his golden staff out of his grip before facing him with the end of the staff on the ground. Wukong was surprised that she can hold his staff like that. He charges at her with her sword out as Mulan stands up and blocks his attack, surprising him more as she hold his staff like it was nothing. The two clash and clash as Mulan ducks from his swing of her sword and hits him in the back, making him groan and kneeling down as he holds his back in pain. Mulan gracefully swings his staff before hitting him in the face, knocking him down unconscious.

Mulan holds his golden staff, staring at him down. Wukong's eyes swirls as little versions of Mulan spins around his head. She raises her eyebrow at it and picks up her sword, placing his staff down besides him.

"That was rather... impressive of how you've beaten Wukong." a kind voice said.

She turns to see Monk Tang Sangzang. Mulan was surprised to see him.

"Who are you?" she asked, sheathing her sword.

"I am the Monk. And that monkey you just beaten, I'm his master."

Her eyes widen in realization that Wukong wasn't lying after all.

"Oops. Sorry about that."

"It's alright. Although, he never told me that he knows you."

"We have a... unusual history."

"I see. Forgive me if it's out of blue, but I would ask for you to join me on a journey to the west." Monk Tang said.

"Me? Why?"

"You have a great spirit of a warrior that no other can achieve. You seem the type of wanting an adventure and..."

"Bringing honor to my family." Mulan finished.

"That's right. So, you decided?"

She thinks for a moment before facing Monk Tang and nods. He smiles and nods in acknowledgment. Mushu climbs up to Mulan's shoulder.

"Whoo! Journey to the West, here we come!!" Mushu cheered.

This made Wukong instantly gets up and faces Mulan with glee.

"Really?! She's coming with?!" Wukong asked his master.

"Yes. We could use some more help as we can."

Mulan looks at Wukong funny at his sudden behavior and recover. She ignores him and hops onto Khan as Monk hops onto the Dragon White Horse before they started traveling to west.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Xiuying wonders what was that about when her meditation was interrupted by a phone ringing, causing Mushu and Cri-Kee to fall into the pond with a big splash. She rummages into her pocket and pulls out a phone to see it's from Mei. She answers it and what she heard next made her eyes narrow. Without a word, she stood up and marched up to the stable. Mushu and Cri-Kee sees that and follows after her. Xiuying mounts onto Daiyu and sets off to the city.

She urges her unicorn to go faster as she notices the damages to the buildings. Then she sees what appears to be Bull Clones as they notices her and begins to attack. Xiuying punches and kicks them off while Daiyu ram into them with Mushu breathing out fire. They zoom past the fallen clones until she's close to the food truck. She recognizes it and looks through the window to see Mk and his team are in there, but they're all piled up.

"Very tight!" Mk wheezed out.

"Pigsy, watch where you're going! You're gonna kill us!" Tang yelped in fright.

"Guys!!" Xiuying called.

They turned and were shocked to see her with Daiyu

"Whoa! Xi! You have a unicorn?!" Mei asked in awe.

"You never told us you have a unicorn let alone bring it!!" Mk exclaimed, just as awe as Mei.

"You never asked!" Xiuying smirked before looking serious. "What's going on here?"

"Long story short, Mk has Monkey King's staff, met some bad guys like Demon Bull King, and now they're trying to get it back for them to conquer the world. Now we need to go after Monkey King for his help." Tang explained, trying to look calm as possible.

"Yeah, we gotta get to Flower Fruit Mountain without getting smushed in a car crash. All we need to do is drive through an entire ocean. Simple." Mk added.

"Drive through the ocean? You mean like taking a boat, right?" Xiuying asked, looking confused with Mk's words.

"Guys! Demon Bull King has moved onto downtown. He's destroying the cheese tea stalls!" Mei said, looking through her phone.

"Well, then we gotta hurry!" Xiuying glared with determination.

"Never thought I'd see that bull again..." Mushu muttered with Cri-Kee chirping in agreement.

"All the more reason to get this staff back to Monkey King. Flower Fruit Mountain. It's the only place he could be. Right, Mr. Tang?" Mk said.

"Indeed. However, Flower Fruit Mountain is hidden away, deep in dangerous and unknown territory. So I guess we better turn back!" Tang explained.

"What?!!" Mk, Mei, and Xiuying exclaimed in shock.

Daiyu gives him a deadpan look while running.

"Shut it, you big baby. I know a guy that can take us there. The most dangerous, deadly, raged-filled warrior I've ever known." Pigsy said, driving the truck.

He stops the food truck at the harbor.

"Sandy."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Inside Sandy's boat, MK's team quiver in fear except Xiuying and Daiyu as they see Sandy with a butcher knife.

"That's a lot to take in. You know what I do to people who disrupt the peace?"

Suddenly, his intimidating aura fades off to a happy one as he shows them a tea set.

"Serve them tea! You guys want some? You? How about that guy over there? Huh? Huh?"

Xiuying takes the cup.

"Thank you." she said.

Tang raises his hand along with Mushu and Cri-Kee.

"Oh, yes! Don't mind if I do. Certain noodle shop owners could learn a lot from your hospitality, Sandy." Tang said.

Mushu and Cri-Kee each took a sip and hummed at the taste.

"Oh, you're right, Piggy, this guy is dangerous. He'll kill us with cuteness!" Mei said, placing one of Sandy's therapy cats on top of Pigsy's head.

"It's my own blend of anti-stress fruits. It really brings the heart rate down." Sandy explained proudly.

Xiuying takes a sip and was in awe.

"Mm. Taste good!" she said.

"Thanks." Sandy smiled.

Pigsy shot up with disbelief.

"Sandy! What happened to you? Where's the angry, glass-chewing, fist-throwing buddy I used to know?" he shouted.

"Did he just say 'glass-chewing'?" Mushu questioned concerned.

"Oh well, my therapist said I really needed to calm down. That's why I started drinking tea. Doing yoga. Investing in therapy cats. Really helps. Oh, don't you, Mo?" Sandy explained, petting his blue cat who looks like him.

"Oh Mr. Sandy sir." Mei said, getting on her knees with puppy eyes. "We could really use your help. We've gotta get to Flower Fruit Mountain!"

Mk also gets on his knees and does the same.

"Please, the fate of the world is at state." he said in a baby voice.

"How old are you guys?" Xiuying muttered to herself, sweatdropping.

"5 year olds..." Mushu sweatdropped.

"Ok!" Sandy said without hesitation.

Mk and Mei looked at him in surprise.

"Really?"

"Anything for Pigsy. I can get you there, but it ain't a pleasant trip." Sandy warned.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!" Mk and Mei cheered.

"Alright, let's get moving. But I'm telling you, old friend. If things get hairy, I've changed. I don't go around picking fights no more."

Pigsy sighs at this, not expecting his old friend to go suddenly soft.

"Mo, initiate the launch sequence!"

Mo jumps off Sandy's shoulder.

"Launch sequence?" Mei questioned.

Mo presses a button which starts up Sandy's boat.

"Onwards to Flower Fruit Mountain!"

The boat goes off into the distance

"Whooo! Yeah!" Mk cheered.

"Whoaaa!!" Mushu screamed, feeling his face turned green. "Oh, I'm going to be sick!!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On Sandy's boat, MK is practicing with the staff.

"Halt evil monster! I must thwart thee! For I am the Monkey Ki-ahhh!"

The staff extands and breaks a part of the boat, almost hitting Mei.

"Wooo! That was awesome!" she cheered.

"Sorry, Mei!" Mk exclaimed.

He tries to pick it up and it bounces around and hits him in the face.

"Take it easy, Mk. You'll hurt yourself. It takes practice to control your staff." Xiuying scolded, sitting on the end of the boat in a lotus position.

"Right. Got it." Mk nodded with a nervous smile.

She sighs and looks at Daiyu, who's in awe at the sight of the ocean while Mushu is simply relaxing underneath the sun with his sunglasses on while Cri-Kee is sleeping. Xiuying then notices something fly into her hand. She looks down to see a butterfly with golden eyes. She tilts her head and gently pets its head, making their wings flutter at the touch.

"Aren't you cute?" she said softly.

She could've sworn she saw the blush on the butterfly's face. She looks at the view of the ocean as they set sail.

"You know, this is pretty exciting. I've never been on an adventure before after living in my village for so long." Mulan said to the butterfly.

She then begins to sing, feeling the wind blowing into her ponytail as they sway beautifully.

https://youtu.be/Z7a5RLClkJ0

After singing, the butterfly's eyes widens in awe at how beautiful her song is. Just then, Mk's yell interrupted the moment.

"We're here! Flower Fruit Mountain! Ahhh!"

A geyser hits Sandy's boat, causing a crate to fall over and drop into the ocean. Xiuying shot up in surprise, causing the butterfly to fly off.

"Huh?"

Everyone looks to see the Flaming Mountains.

"Welcome to the Flaming Mountains, gang! A volcanic ring surrounds the mountain making it virtually impassable. This path is the only safe way through. That's as close as the boat can get. Just... be careful." Sandy said.

Xiuying pets Daiyu.

"Stay with Sandy where it's safe."

Daiyu whines at her, wanting to come with her.

"Sorry, but it's too dangerous. I'll be back." she said gently.

The unicorn reluctantly nods and nudges her face. Cri-Kee hops onto her shoulder with Mushu when Xiuying gently grabs the cricket and places him on Daiyu's head.

"I'm gonna need you to accompany her while me and Mushu go. Can you do that?"

Cri-Kee nods and salutes her, making her smile.

"Don't worry, bud. We'll come back." Mushu assured his friend who nodded.

Then, she, Mushu, and others begins to walk through the Flaming Mountains.

"Stupid Sandy. Stupid Tang. Staying cozy in his stupid boat. What did I do to deserve this, Noodle Gods?" Pigsy ranted.

His complaining is interrupted by a geyser of fire erupting from the ground.

"Ahhh!" Pigsy screamed.

Xiuying quickly pulled him back before the fire could hit him.

"Careful, piggy! Eeeee! You gotta wonder why Monkey King decided to live here of all places." Mei said, dodging erupting fire.

"You know when Monkey King had to get through the Flaming Mountains he actually used Princess Iron Fan fan's to blow--"

Mk was cut off to hear Princess Iron Fan laughing. Xiuying gets into her fighting stance with Mushu growling.

"Well, well, well. Aren't you a little Monkey King fan boy." she said in amusement.

She uses her Magic Fan and puts it into the fire. She then brings it up and throws the fireball, which everyone dodges that.

"Kids! Everyone okay?" Pigsy asked worriedly.

"I'll be taking that staff now." PIF said.

"This belongs to the Monkey King. There's no way I'm letting you take it." Mk said, glaring at her.

"Oh you're just a little Noodle Boy playing at being a hero. Sorry to disappoint. Playtime is over." she said.

Mk launches himself at Princess Iron Fan.

"Kid, no!" Pigsy shouted.

"Mk!!" Xiuying shouted.

"Are you stupid??!" Mushu yelled.

Princess Iron Fan uses the Power Glove to catch the staff, shocking him.

"What?"

Mk was then tosses away as the fire erupts but before it could hit him Xiuying along with Mushu jumps up and tackles him as the fire erupts, making them disappear.

"No! Mk! Xi! Mushu! Ah!" Mei cried out.

She was about to go after them when Pigsy grabs her.

"Mei! We gotta go!"

He throws Mei over his shoulder and heads back to Sandy's boat, glancing over his shoulder to where they disappeared.

"Sorry, you two." he said sorrowfully.

Princess Iron Fan laughs evilly, holding up the staff.

"At last, the full power of my beloved will be unleashed."

She then disappears in a wind tornado.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Xiuying groans and slowly wakes up to hear the sound of mother nature around her. She was about to get up when she felt something small and furry on top of her stomach. She looks up to see a monkey with white fur and pink face. It looks at her with curiosity as it touches her soft, silky hair and plays with it. She notices more monkeys are here, surrounding her with same curiosity. Xiuying slowly gets up as the monkeys got off of her. She leans down and pets its head.

"Hey, there." she cooed.

The monkeys smiles at her.

"Do you think you can take me to the Flower Fruit Mountain?"

All the monkeys pointed the direction and she looks to see Flower Fruit Mountain in front of her.

"Wow... Thanks."

Xiuying gets up and starts walking as she climbs up the mountain easily and sees a waterfall. She hops onto the small rocks to get close until now as she could hear a loud roar of the waterfall. She stares at it with awe. As she looks, she could've sworn she sees a pair of gold watching her through the waterfall until they disappear in the blink of an eye. She was about to ask what was that when she heard grunts and groans.

She turns to see Mk climbing up the mountain to a waterfall where she is with Mushu on his shoulder as he appears to be yelling at him to hurry it up. Mushu's eyes widens with happiness and relief. He jumps off of Mk towards Xiuying's arms.

"Xi!! Oh! Thank goodness you're okay!" Mushu cried out.

"I should say the same thing. And I'm glad you're okay as well, Mk." Xiuying said.

"Same. Your dragon couldn't stop rambling how worried he is for you." Mk said, panting a bit.

Mk looks at the waterfall and walks up to it. Xiuying and Mushu watches as he puts his hand up to it to show a magical seal. Then the waterfall opens like a curtain, unlocking the seal. Xiuying was amazed at that entrance while Mushu looks a bit surprised. Mk then walks into the Shuilian Cave with Xiuying and Mushu following him.

"Hello? Hello? Hello?" Mk called out.

Mk, Mushu, Xiuying looks up and sees a mural that has various friends of the Monkey King. Mk than notices the Monkey King.

"Hey! That's the Monkey King." Mk pointed out.

"Hey, look! It's me and Cri-Kee!" Mushu said, seeing a mural of himself. "And I look good."

Mk then gets his Golden Eyes of Truth, using it for the first time.

"What? Uhh! What's happening? What's uhhh! What's wrong with my eyes!?" Mk exclaimed in shock.

Xiuying didn't pay attention as she sees someone in the mural.

"That's... Mulan!" she gasped.

They're standing beside the Monkey King is Mulan as Xiuying recognizes. She notices the similarity of hers and her own face. Before she could question, she heard Mk's shouts. She turns to see him running towards the cave and follows after.

"Mk! Wait!!" she called, running after him.

"Kid, slow down!" Mushu called.

"Monkey King?" Mk called out.

They stop to see a house up on the hill with a peach tree. Xiuying sees Mk looking sad as he angrily kicks a rock away and sits down.

"Ugh! What was I thinking? For a moment there I thought. Hhhh! Mr. Tang was right. I really am delusional."

"Mk..." Mushu frowned.

Xiuying frowns to hear him say that and was about to speak when she sees the same butterfly from the ship as it lands on Mk's arm. He notices as well. It stares at him for a moment and does something that surprises the both of them.

"'Sup?" he said.

Mk gets scared, screaming while Xiuying was shocked that the butterfly just spoke.

"Yes yes! It is I, the Monkey Kin-"

The butterfly gets squished by MK's foot. Mushu snickers at that. Xiuying gets worried and pulls him away from it.

"Don't step on the butterfly!! Oh my goodness, are you okay?" she asked with concern.

Mk looks over the squished butterfly.

"Is it dead? Ohhh."

The butterfly proceeds to transform into various animals; eagle, tiger, bear, and finally, the monkey man that Xiuying recognizes as he crossed his arms with a smirk.

"Showoff." Mushu scoffed, crossing his arms.

Mk couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"M-M Monkey King?"

"Yep! The one and only. So, where's my staff?"

He then sees MK on the verge of tears, much to his concern. Then he bursted out with tears flowing as he bow down to him, surprising Monkey King, Xiuying, and Mushu.

"I'm so sorry! I tried to bring it to you but Princess Iron Fan came and took it. She's got this glove." Mk cried.

"I know, I know. Look, I'm gonna come clean. Um... I've been kinda watching you." Monkey King admitted.

"What?"

"Stalker!!" Mushu gasped.

"Oh, hey, Mushu. Long time no see." Monkey King greeted, looking down at him.

"Oh, it's been a long time. And this dragon is about to whoop your butt again." Mushu glared.

"Still the same as ever." Monkey King chuckled.

Mk then gasps as he recalls the events involving him and an animal; eagle, butterfly, and ladybug, revealing to be Monkey King along.

"Wait, what? That was you?"

Mk turned when he sees Monkey King isn't here. He looked to see him standing in front of the surprising Xiuying. He stares at her in awe and recognition.

"Um... hi. Do I... know you from somewhere?" Xiuying said unsurely.

"Hey! Personal space!!" Mushu growled.

Monkey King says nothing and gently places a hand on her cheek. Xiuying was about to smack his hand away, but for some reason, her body is not letting her.

"This is... impossible. You look... exactly like Mulan. What's your full name?"

"I'm Fa Xiuying. I'm basically the reincarnation of Fa Mulan." Xiuying stated.

Monkey King was shocked at such news and it felt too good to be true. Xiuying notices it as well as Mushu, who should've seen this one coming and knowing how much he cares for his Mulan.

"Have you been feeling different lately?" Monkey King asked.

Mk watches with shock and pure confusion on what was going on.

"Well, I had strange dreams that seem too real. The only thing I could remember was recalling her fighting against you and meeting the Monk, I believe."

This made Monkey King smile.

"She really is Mulan's reincarnation..."

"Uh, hello? Am I missing something here? And if you've been watching me the whole time, why?" Mk asked, waving his hands.

Monkey King snaps out of his trance and turns to Mk. He then did a dramatic pose, crossing his arms again.

"To be...my successor!"

Mk begins poking around Monkey King, much to his annoyance. Xiuying and Mushu giggles at the sight.

"Uhhh? Are you sure you're the Monkey King? You've been cooped up in here way to long. I think your brain went mushed up." Mk asked.

Before Mk could poke any further, Monkey King wraps his tail around him and places him in front.

"Listen, Kid. You fought demons and you didn't die. And you made it here. Not just anyone can lift my staff."

He pulls out a bag of Peach Chips after rummaging through his garbage.

"But you did."

He takes a bite out of the chip.

"But what about DBK?" Mk asked.

"Phft! What about DBK? You can handle it. Consider it a trial."

"Seriously?" Mushu deadpanned.

"But I--"

Mk sighs dejectedly. Xiuying frowns and gestures Monkey King to do or say something. Mushu then punches his fist to tell him to do it or else. He sees that and sighs and walks over to Mk.

"Look if you can lift the staff you can use it. Just believe in yourself. Even a smidge makes all the difference." Monkey King said.

Mk was amazed for a moment. Monkey King pulls away and gives him a determined glare.

"The staff was taken from you. Take it back." he declared.

Mk thinks for a moment before smirking.

"Alright!"

MK then heads back to the shores. Xiuying smiles and was about to follow when a tail grabs her hand. She turns in surprise and sees Monkey King holding a sword that Mushu instantly recognizes.

"Here. You might need this." Monkey King said.

Xiuying was shocked to see the same sword Mulan uses to battle against the enemies. She slowly takes it and inspects it. As she looks, she could've sworn she saw a reflection of someone else from the blade.

"This... belongs to Mulan. That cloud sword holds the power of the winds, especially summoning clouds like mine and other amazing things she did." Monkey King explained with a fond smile.

"...Why are you giving me this?" Xiuying asked, looking speechless.

"Because... you remind me so much like her and I believe she would want you to use it."

She stares at the weapon for a moment and then smiles up at him.

"Thanks. I'll take care of it."

"Use it well, use it wisely."

Xiuying nods in determination and sheaths her sword before running out of the cave. As she left, Monkey King looks at Mushu.

"Keep her safe." he said.

"I know. I will." Mushu nodded before running after her.

Monkey King smiles and pulls out a flower hair comb.

"You really are something, Mulan..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"How am I supposed to get back?!" Mk exclaimed, seeing he had no idea how to get out.

"Maybe that." Xiuying pointed out.

Mk looks behind and see some monkeys with the crate that fell off of Sandy's boat. The monkeys then open the crate, revealing the Cloud Jet.

"Hoooo! Yeah!"

He looks at all the controls.

"Ummm? Can't be to hard to fly. It's for ages 8 and up!"

He notices Xiuying and Mushu are outside.

"Uh, aren't you coming in?" Mk asked.

Xiuying just smiles at him.

"I'll catch up. There's something I need to try." she assured him.

She looks at the sheathed sword. Mk looks hesitant for a moment and nods, hoping she knows what she's doing. He looks at the controls again and then presses a button, which sends him flying fast back to Megapolis.

"Wooohooo! Hahahah!" Mk cheered.

Xiuying's hair flows from the blow and smiles. She unsheaths her sword and holds it up to her face.

"Control winds, huh?"

Mushu gets excited and holds on tight around Xiuying. She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, her mind calling out to the sword. She then automatically swings her blade a few times until she feels something soft beneath her. Xiuying looks down to see her standing on the cloud! Not only that, but she's flying.

"I... I did it!"

"I knew you would." Mushu smiled.

She carefully gets on her balance before she urges her cloud to take off. It then speeds off to Megapolis with her and her dragon cheering along the way.

"Woohoo!!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, in Megapolis, Mei hugs Mk tightly after seeing him okay.

"Mk! Oh my goodness! We saw you blast into the fire. I thought you were all like "phew, ahhh" but you're not." Mei rambled.

Tang pokes Red Son with a stick after Mk crash into him with his jet.

"Where'd you get a jet? Way to trash it already. Wait! Monkey King did you find him? Where's Xi and Mushu?" Mei asked.

"Yeah, I did! And they're..." Mk started.

"Right here!"

They look up to see Xiuying riding on the cloud with Mushu as she glides down in front of them and gets off of it. Everyone gasps in shock.

"Whoa! How did you do that?!" Mk asked excitedly.

"With this."

Xiuying shows them her sword.

"Wow!! So cool!!" Mei gasped loudly, admiring it.

Daiyu runs up to Xiuying and nudges her with her snout. She giggles, petting her head.

"Hey, buddy! Sorry I worry you."

Cri-Kee appears from the unicorn's mane and jumps towards Mushu, who catches him and hugs him.

"Cri-Kee!" Mushu smiled.

"Where did you get that sword?" Tang asked, recognizing the weapon.

"Monkey King gave it to me." Xiuying said, spinning her sword.

"So, where is he?" Pigsy asked.

"He said it's up to me, to us." Mk replied.

Everyone deadpans at that answer.

"That's anticlimactic." Mei commented.

"I know." Mushu agreed.

They all look up at the Demon Bull King, who appears to be bigger than before and rampaging on the city.

"And how are we meant to fight that?" Tang asked nervously.

"We believe in ourselves. You clean the streets. I'll stop the Demon Bull King. Somehow." Mk said with determination.

Mei looks at the jet.

"Yeah, this jet probably would have been really useful, hey?"

She kicks it revealing the speed bike, making Mk gasp.

"That'll work!"

"Go get 'em buddy!" Mei cheered him on.

As Mk goes after Demon Bull King, Xiuying and others fought off more bull clones. Xiuying uses her sword to slice off the clones while creating winds to blow them off. Mushu transforms into a big dragon as he rams through the clones with Daiyu knocking them away with her horn. Once they're all down, they look ahead to see Mk plunges the staff into the ground, creating the Monkey King Warrior Mech.

Xiuying and others watches with smiles on their faces as Mk defeats Demon Bull King before they surround him once Princess Iron Fan disappears with her family with a big wind tornado she created.

"What? No! No fair! Come on, you can't just run away when I'm right about to win." Mk groaned in disappointment.

"MK! You totally kick DBK's butt. Without us, the city'd be toast!" Mei shouted loudly from below.

Mk laughs awkwardly, coming out of his mech.

"Yeah. But you know, I couldn't have done it on my own." Mk said.

Sandy comes up behind and hugs Mk and Mei.

"You did, little man." Sandy said.

"You're basically the new Monkey King now." Mei declared.

"Haha! Monkie Kid, didn't you say?" Tang laughed.

"Good name!" Mushu snickered.

"You did good, kid. You did real good." Pigsy said.

"But, er... what now?" Sandy asked.

"Isn't it obvious?" Mei asked.

"Yeah! Bust up more bad guys! Ow!!" Mk said before yelping.

Xiuying had slapped Mk on the head for his stupidity.

"Not that. I was thinking of eating some noodles." she said, not wanting to deal with any more enemies.

"That's not a bad idea." Tang agreed.

"Yeah! Noodles, noodles, noodles!"

On top of the Monkey King Warrior Mech, Monkey King stands there, watching the gang. He looks down at Xiuying, who's smiling at her friends as she did a couple of spin with her sword. He smiles softly and then transforms into a bird and flies away.

After that battle, Xiuying, Daiyu, Mushu, and Cri-Kee travel back home as Daiyu sleeps in her stable. Xiuying is sitting on the roof, staring up at the moon above her in the night sky. Cri-Kee is sleeping on Xiuying's bed on a pillow, cuddling it. Mushu is sitting next to her, joining along with her sightseeing. She looks down at her sheathed sword on her lap.

"Why did Monkey King gave me a sword? It belongs to Mulan." she wondered.

Mushu smiles and pats her leg.

"Don't worry, Xiuying. We'll figure it out together, I promise..." he said.

Xiuying smiles down at her dragon friend before facing the moon again. Feeling a sudden wind blowing against her face again, she stands up and begins to sing once again.

After singing, she feels the wind blowing through her long ponytail as they sway. Little did she know, Monkey King, a shadowy black monkey, and a pink eyed cloak hooded figure are watching her from a little distance with fondness. Then, a spirit of Mulan watches her from above the night sky, smiling before disappearing.
