"This can't be good." Gwen prepared for a fight.
"What can't? Being surrounded by tons of monsters, or being called monkeyes?" Kai felt offended rather than surprised that they were caught. He would at least accept being called a gorilla.
Gwen wondered if Kai was joking or being serious. But judging by his expression, she knew he was being serious. "Being surrounded by monsters, duh. Why would being called a monkey be bad?"
"Well, being called a monkey is kind of offensive. Especially the way she rolled the word off her tongue. It reminded me of that one space emperor who would not stop calling these people monkeys, know what I'm saying?"
"What?"
"Nothing."
The monsters drew closer, metal spears pointed toward Kai and his crew. "Don't take another step, MONKEYS!"
"Really, dude? Did you have to emphasize the word monkey?"
