《 Chapter 5: Bad Weather 》

Today Nuo is right now holding a bag, heading towards the Weather Station that Mei told her so much and that it's a great place for a swim, relaxing, etc. She's eager to go there until now as she stands in front of the glass sliding door. She looks up at the building hesitating for a moment before taking a step forward.  She was amazed at the sight before her.

"Welcome to the Weather Station, where you'll notice it's another beautiful day. Here at the Weather Station, we control the city's weather to bring you a perfect day every day."

Nuo could see the people either relaxing, swimming, snowboarding, taking selfies together, etc. This is paradise where they don't have to worry about traveling the world to go on their vacations. She looks around in awe as she finds a pool area and goes over there. She places her bag on the mat that was placed on for everyone where the umbrella is before taking off her clothes to reveal her blue swimsuit.

Nuo takes a deep breath and sighs. She was about to go for a swim when she spotted a familiar girl with a pink headband. Nuo walks over to see her sitting on the edge with her feet inside the water, looking at the reflection of herself.

"Bai He?"

Bai He gasped and turned to see her. She immediately looked happy.

"Hi, Nuo!"

Nuo sits down next to her.

"What's up? I never knew you like going to Weather Station."

"It's a good place for me to be at peace and relax. Though, it made me sad to see everyone having a family." Bai He said, frowning at the sight of the mom and dad with their little kid.

Nuo sees that and pats her on the head.

"Hey, don't be. Say, how about we go for a swim? It'll help keep your mind of it. Trust me, it works and it helps me a lot."

Suddenly, Bai He looks nervous and stares at the water.

"Hmm? What's wrong? Don't you like to swim?"

She quickly shook her head.

"No, no, it's not like that. It's just... um..."

"Hey, it's okay. You can tell me anything. You can trust me."

Bai He whimpers like she's about to burst until she finally lets it out.

"I don't know how to swim!"

Nuo looks shocked.

"What? Really? Everyone knows how to swim. You've been around the city your entire life; didn't anyone teach you if they're tasked to keep an eye on you?"

"No, not really. They never taught me anything. Some say the ocean is the dangerous place and that there are sharks out there. And we never had the money for lessons, so I never got a chance to learn. All I could is just... stare at the water."

"Huh. I never would've guessed. But why come here if you don't know how?"

"I don't know. There are so many things to try, but... water just... somehow calls to me and I don't know."

Nuo looks thoughtful for a moment before her eyes widens.

"How about I teach you how to swim?"

Bai He looks at her with surprise.

"You can? How?"

Nuo stands up and looks at her in a... mischievous way. For some reason, Bai He gets a bad feeling about this.

"You'll thank me later for this one."

"Huh?"

Nuo then grabs Bai He by the waist and tosses her into the pool, creating a splash. Bai He quickly resurfaces, spitting out water and struggling to move as she moves her hands rapidly around the water.

"Aah!! Nuo! Nuo, save me!"

Nuo grabs the Hello Kitty floatie that was next to Bai He as she could guess she bought it herself since she learns she loves cats.

Before jumping into the pool and swimming past her. She laughs at the look on her face as Bai He struggles to swim towards her. Nuo eventually stops to the end of the pool.

"Relax, Bai He. Just reach out in front of you and grab a handful of water. Pull it back towards you."

Bai He did as she was told as she slowly getting used to swimming as she moves her hands through the water to push herself forward while kicking her legs.

"Not too fast. That's the way I learned."

As soon as she made it close to Nuo, she grabs onto the floatie and pulls herself up through the hole of the floatie and stays there. Bai He gives her a smile, panting a little.

"I did it, Nuo! I did it!"

"Good. Let's keep practicing. You ready?" Nuo said, smiling proudly.

"Yes!" Bai He nodded.

Nuo then grabbed her hand, removing her from the floatie and teaching how to dive while holding her breath since she's a human. They did a dive with bubbles coming out from the surface. Then taught her how to use her legs to kick and her arms to push herself forward or under. Bai He did a few tries and nearly swallows the water or sink, but Nuo kept on helping her.

It took some time or a minute for her to finally learn how to swim as she dives down with a deep breath and swam under as she could see blue area, feeling like a mermaid as she resurfaces with her hair flipping back. Nuo smiles and gestures her to follow her as they dive under. She then waterbends and creates a bubble around Bai He's head for her to breath as she took a deep breath. The little girl looked at her questionably until Nuo starts doing the traditional underwater dance she used to do when she's alone as she moves gracefully.

Normally, Nuo should be embarrassed and nervous since the little girl is watching her but she doesn't care. It was just her and Bai He alone. Bai He was in awe at her performance as Nuo finishes her dance with a pose. She claps her hands through the water.

"Amazing." she whispered out.

Little did they know, Red Son marches into the Weather Station with the Bull Clones behind him and walks towards the man at the control panel and clears his throat. The worker turns to him.

"Uh yeah, hey kid, I'd like to help you and your friends, but I'm pretty busy."

"Not for much longer." he smirked.

The Bull Clones start attacking the Weather Station. Everyone screams for their lives, leaving Nuo and Bai He alone as the two resurfaces with laughter. But they stopped as soon as they heard screams and sees the people already running out of the Weather Station. Nuo's eyes narrows to see the bull clones and Red Son as broadcasts his message to the city.

"Citizens. It is I, Red Son. I have taken control of the Weather Station and will harness the very power of nature to return my father to his former glory. This message is more of a courtesy really."

While he's talking, Nuo silently guides Bai He out of the pool safely without making a sound as they hide. Red Son pushes a lever, causing a storm to appear and rain, flooding the Great Wall of China. Nuo sees that through all the TV screens from the control panel Red Son is using.

"Oh no..."

Bai He whimpered, hugging closer to Nuo.

"When I'm finished, my father will once more dominate the world! And then- Oh look! A lightning button."

When he presses the button, lightning struck out from each of the TV screens. Nuo glares and turns to Bai He.

"Stay here and don't come out unless I say so."

She nodded and Nuo gets up and does a hand movement to grab the water from the pool and starts waterbending it. Nuo sees the Bull Clones and charges them. The robots sees her and immediately begins their attack when she summons a water whip and freezes it for her to go up before jumping up high above them. With the water around her, she gracefully moves them as she water whips all the Bull Clones with one swing as they break apart. Nuo rolls and lands perfectly, bringing the water to her arms as she wields it and whips a few more Bull Clones. The robots are broken into pieces as she slams her water whip onto them. Red Son, who's sitting in his chair, was alarmed and glared at her.

"You again?!"

Nuo said nothing and just glare at him, getting ready to bring out her water attack when they heard a familiar voice.

"Not so fast, Red Son!" Mk called out, pointing his staff.

"Mk!" Nuo smiled, happy to see him.

Red Son spins his chair to face them with a smirk on his face.

"Noodle Boy! I thought I smelt some garbage! Turns out I was right!"

He then laughs, making Nuo deadpan at that.

"You're laughing now, but...I'm invincible! So yeah, you're basically toast. Prepare to get M.K.O'd!"

Mk gets his staff ready to fight when it extended, putting him off balance.

"Yeah, MK! You show him who's bo-"

The extended staff hits Mei in the head, making Nuo scream in worry.

"Mei!"

"Jeez, watch what'cha doing!" Pigsy screamed.

"Sorry, Mei!"

Mk nearly hits Pigsy and Tang as they duck from it, but the staff hits Sandy sadly.

"Oh, my chakra!"

Sandy fell to the ground unconscious as Nuo ran over to his aid along with Tang.

"Sandy! Can you hear me?"

"Oh, no! You've killed him!" Tang cried out, sitting on his knees.

Nuo noticed the soul of Sandy leaving him after getting hit by the staff, which she quickly puts the soul back down onto his body. Somehow Mei was okay and alive as she comes over and pats his arm nervously. Though Nuo sweatdropped to see her friend with a big bad bump on her head.

"Eh, he's a big guy. He'll be fine."

"You sure about that?" Nuo asked.

"You dorks done beating each other up yet?" Red Son asked, getting bored with this.

"Yes, and you're next on my list!"

Mk throws the Golden Staff at Red Son. The staff goes behind him and extends, jabbing him. He falls out of the Weather Station as he screams.

"Mk!!"

Nuo jumps off the building and goes after him.

"Nuo!" Mei called worriedly.

"I guess the garbage takes itself out now!" Red Son said before laughing.

Bai He looks over from her hiding spot, shaking in fright and worry for others and Nuo.

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

Nuo struggles to reach Mk as they fall until she eventually catches him and lands on the road, causing a giant crater.

"T-Thanks, Nuo." Mk stuttered, feeling a little scared from the fall.

"How you doing there, bud?"

Nuo and Mk looked up to see Monkey King standing above them on his cloud. She was surprised to see him as she placed Mk down.

"Monkey King! Great! Now that you're here, we can go fly up there and smash that—"

"No, no, no, no, no. In case you forgot, I'm retired. You're supposed to be taking care of the bad guys." Monkey King said, lying down on his cloud and pointing at the boy with his sugar cane.

"Seriously?" Nuo deadpanned.

"Besides, you're... invincible! Right?"

Monkey King did a pose, imitating Mk's voice before speaking normally. Mk struggles to find words to say.

"Well, yeah I mean, I am invincible, but, you know." he sighed. "Every time I try to do anything I just gunk everything up. Something's wrong."

Nuo frowned and was about to comfort him when Monkey King jumped onto Mk and sat on his shoulders.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Monkey King is looking something through his hair before his eyes widen.

"Oh yeah, you're right. Oh, this is bad. Something's really wrong!" he said, looking down at Mk.

Mk gasps and starts moving around rapidly with Monkey King still on his shoulders to look for anything dangerous. Nuo questioned how strong can Mk hold Monkey King.

"What is it? What's wrong?"

Monkey King pulled out a bug from Mk's hair.

"It's you, dummy."

He then eats it, which made Nuo disgusted to see that.

"Gross..."

"What?" Mk asked.

Monkey King jumped off of his shoulders and lands on the street.

"In order to have full control of your powers, you need self-confidence."

Mk climbs up from the crater and puffs his chest out, standing next to him as Nuo climbed up after them.

"I got self-confidence."

Nuo immediately smacked him on the head, sending him flying.

"Wrong, Mk. You're just loud and not using common sense."

"Hey!"

"She's right, you know. The only way to get self-confidence is-"

"Fake it 'til I make it?" Mk guessed.

Monkey King went up to Mk's face and shouted.

"No! Practice! You think I took shortcuts? No. It took me centuries of training and fighting and just beating up . Just, so many demons. A-anyway, nothing worth anything comes for free." he said, awkwardly coughing at the end.

Nuo grew suspicious if he did more than just training and fighting.

"But what about my friends, the city? They're all counting on me."

Mk gives him puppy eyes, which made Monkey King struggle to resist it as he look at Nuo for some help. She just gives him a shrug.

"You know, he's still young and new to this new powers. At least, help him a bit."

With those words, Monkey King groans in defeat.

"Fine. If it'll stop your whining. I know a way to limit your powers so you can learn to control them. But..."

"But what?" Mk raised his eyebrow.

"You won't be invincible anymore."

Nuo winced to hear that and looked at Mk. He looked at her and nodded, knowing he had no choice if he's going to help people who are in need of help. Mk sighed and turned to Monkey King.

"Alright let's do it."

"Alright. No turning back."

He puts his hands together and put them in front of MK, creating a golden seal. He pushes Mk backward, limiting his powers. MK falls to his knees. Monkey King looks down at the boy with a concerned look along with Nuo.

"Feeling alright, bud?" he asked.

Mk was silent for a moment before giving them a grin.

"Yeah."

Nuo smiles and grabs the water from the fire hydrant and water bends it towards Mk, creating a water tornado as it guides him back up to the Weather Station. Monkey King whistles, looking impressed.

"Thanks for helping Mk. Even though you're not that much of a help..." Nuo said, muttering silently in the end.

"No worries. You can count on me, Jie." he winked.

Nuo raised her eyebrow at the nickname.

"Jie??"

Monkey King realized what he just said and coughed awkwardly, feeling his cheeks turn pink.

"I-It's the nickname I liked to call you... It means you're as clean as water."

Now it's her turn to blush and she glance away shyly.

"Thanks, Monkey Ki—"

"Wukong."

She turns to him.

"Huh?"

"Sun Wukong. Call me Wukong."

Nuo smiles at him.

"Well, thanks again, Wukong. I gotta go help my friends."

With that, Nuo water bends herself as she flies up to the Weather Station using water tornado. Wukong smiles at her departure before transforming into a bird and flying away.

Meanwhile, Bai He watches as Mei and the others are tied up by the Bull Clones with Red Son laughing.

"Peasants." he said.

"Oh, Red Son!"

Mk comes in being dropped by the water tornado with Nuo catching up as they land.

"Let's settle this for real. I won't let you get away with this." Mk said, pointing his staff at him.

Red Son laughs harder than before.

"You're back to beat yourself up some more?"

"Hey. I'll have you know I can control my powers now. Only downside is I'm not invincible anymore so I could die."

"What?!" Pigsy yelled.

Nuo immediately smacked him in the head.

"Ow!!"

"You imbecile! You're not supposed to say that in front of an enemy!"

Mk's eyes widen in realization while Nuo shook her head at his blabber mouth.

"Oh shoot! F-Forget I said that! I got this. Here comes, Monkie Kid!"

Red Son charges with a bunch of Bull Clones.

"I totally don't got this!"

Mk runs away as the Bull Clones rain from the sky. Red Son then charges at him and they fight for a bit. While he's distracted, Nuo sneaks her way to her friends and unties them. Red Son then throws Mk into the Weather Station. She sees Bai He still hiding and creates a water whip as she wraps them around her, who yelped in surprise, and pulling her towards her. Bai He smiles and hugs her. Mk looks up to see a bunch of Bull Clones charging at him.

"How am I supposed to fight all of them?"

He then activates his Golden Eyes of Truth.

"Oh! It's that weird Gold Vision thingy."

He looks up and sees the lighting and gets an idea.

"That's it! Oh!"

He gets attacked by the clones and Red Son lands on top of the pile of clones.

"Not so tough without all your Monkey King powers, are you?" he taunted.

The staff than grows taller striking all the Bull Clones with Red Son on the top.

"Oh, look! A lighting button." Mk mocked Red Son' impression and pushed a button on the console.

A big lighting strike than comes down, striking all of the clones and Mk hides behind the console while everyone took cover as the strike finishes. Red Son falls down on the ground and snaps at him.

"You may have won this round but... you're still garbage."

He disappears in a fire tornado.

"Let's get this place back to normal."

Mk then switches everything back and it becomes sunny and nice again.

"And that should do it."

"Mk!"

Mei zooms over then slams herself into him and Sandy follows after.

"Aww, you really did limit your power." she whined.

"Yeah. Just till I learn to control them better."

"And... how are you gonna do that?" Pigsy asked.

"Practice, practice, practice."

Mk bumps himself in the head with his staff, making him fall to the ground completely knocked out. Nuo, Bai He, Mei, Pigsy, Sandy and Tang all laugh hard after what they just witnessed. They later asked who the little girl is, which made her hide behind Nuo. Nuo introduced her to her friends and Mei and Mk, who somehow recovered, immediately were in awe and called her cute. Eventually, everyone are walking out of the station as Nuo walks Bai He back to the orphanage, holding her hand and the Hello Kitty floatie with her bag over her shoulder.

"So, did you have fun?"

"It was more than fun! The way you fight those bad guys with your water, it was so amazing! Especially that Monkie Kid when he swings his staff at them!" Bai He said excitedly.

Nuo giggles and pats her head.

"I'm glad you have a good time."

Just then, a dark shadow figure was seen in the alley watching Nuo and Bai He as they walk past by. They stare at Nuo for a moment, memorizing her face and her figure before smirking evilly.

"I can't have you interfering with my plan... dragon."

The figure then disappeared without a trace.
