Chapter 1 - Prologue

Time to find out who the parents are, but how and where they got her is still a mystery. :3

At the moment she doesn't have a real name yet, so she will just be called by some of her nicknames.

__________________________________________________________

At a mountain inside of a cave two demons were talking, while a red baby monkey with white spots was playing with two plushies that looked like the two demons.

"I'm telling you, something is gonna go wrong." said the black looking demon with worry in their voice.

"And I'm telling you, that nothing is gonna go wrong. Everything will be fine, you know me." said the golden looking demon with confidence in their voice.

"You can still call it off, it's not too late to turn away from this fight." said the black demon, worried about the outcome should the other go through with the plan.

The red monkey had stopped playing with her plushies, and had turned her attention to the two older demons. Wondering what they were talking about as she started crawling towards them.

The golden demon rolled their eyes at the other's words not seeing what had them so worried. "Stop worrying so much! I'm telling you when this battle is all over we won't have anything to worry about. As the future rulers of Celestial Realm we'll make everything so much better, and more safe for our little princess!"

The black demon let out a heavy sigh, they took notice of the red baby monkey and picked her up as she let out a few cute baby noises. "Hey little star, did you get bored playing with your plushies?"

The red monkey tilted her head to the side before she went on to climb up on top of the black demon's head, smiling happily at how high up she was.

A small smile grew on the black demon's face along with the golden demon who took the red monkey into their arms, and started throwing her into the air causing her to laugh out loud.

"I promise when we've won, everything is gonna return to how it was before. As long as you have my back, I'll always have yours Macaque." said the golden demon, going on to tickle the red monkey, getting a few laughs and squeals from her.

Macaque let out another sigh but gave a slight smile. "Okay Wukong, I trust you in keeping that promise." He watched the red monkey trying to get out of Wukong's hands but was failing. "You keep tickling little freckles and she won't be able to sleep through the night."

"Which is why you're gonna be the one telling her a bedtime story this time, while I get her something to eat." said Wukong, chuckling at the red monkey's struckling.

"You better not be feeding her peaches again, let alone another peach of immortality that I'm surprised you still had one left. I'm amazed that her reaction to it didn't kill her on the spot." said Macaque, crossing his arms and raising an eyebrow.

"Hey! How should I have known she would react that way to a peach? So far I've never seen any monkey or demon that didn't like peaches." Wukong protested, going on to throw the red monkey into the air again.

The red monkey got thrown up again but instead of falling into Wukong's arms again, she instead landed on solid air as if she was on the ground but it was just air.

"What the?" Wukong looked up in confusion, not having seen this power before.

"Huh, looks like she has other powers like we thought she would have." said Macaque, also surprised by this revelation.

"Well aren't you full of surprises sunshine!" Wukong smiled up at the red monkey who was trying to get off the air.

"Maybe we should lock away some of her powers, at least until she is older. A baby monkey with crazy powers isn't really safe." Macaque suggested as the red monkey finally got off the air, and were now falling but luckily were caught by Macaque's tail.

Wukong looked like he was thinking about Macaque's suggestion before shaking it off. "A baby monkey with amazing powers has never hurt anyone, when this battle is over I'll be teaching our little princess all kinds of cool stuff!"

Macaque shook his head knowing there was no changing Wukong's mind. The red monkey giggled happily as she was back in his arms, clapping her hands. "Baba! Dada!"

*At the time of the battle against the Celestial Realm.*

The red monkey was sleeping peacefully in her nest but the sound of fighting could be heard, as she woke up looking around to find her parents were gone. "Baba? Dada?" Not understanding where they were, she got out of the nest and crawled out of the house from a branch sticking out.

She followed the sound of the fighting until one of the branches let her out of the cave and was now outside, seeing the sky with lots of people fighting along with her parents. "Baba! Dada!"

Her parents didn't hear her calling out to them as their focus was on the enemies that they were fighting, and it wasn't long until some big guy showed up and within seconds her parents and their friends were defeated.

But as she watched in worry she took notice one of her parents wasn't with the others anymore. "Baba?" She looked around and noticed they were taking away her other parent.

"Dada!" She shouted out to which got everyone's attention.

"Another one of your kind Sun Wukong? You were already a big enough problem for us along with your partner in crime. But a third one? Better get rid of it before it also becomes a problem." said one of the generals.

"Wait! No don't! She is only a child! She has nothing to do with this!" Wukong shouted out.

"Little shadow where are you!" shouted Macaque from inside the cave, since he had snuck away to try and get the baby monkey and take her to safety.

The red monkey looked back and forth as she heard her baba inside the cave, while her dada was shouting out in worry for her as he was being held back by some guards.

"I'll take care of this little problem." said one of the generals known as Li Jing.

"Sunny, get out of here! Go back inside the cave!" shouted Wukong worryingly.

The red monkey grew more worried as she could feel something was wrong, but seeing the way Wukong was shouting in horror for her well being, while being held back by what she understood as bad guys. She had never seen the look in his face before and so she wanted to help him.

"Dada!" She shouted, jumping into the air and at first it looked like she was falling. But the air soon turned solid for her and she was now running on all fours to save her parent.

"Not so fast, simian." said Li Jing, standing now in front of her with one saber in his one hand while the other was holding the Pagoda.

The red monkey stopped in her tracks staring up in fear at this stranger, but seeing that the only way to get over to save her dada was through this stranger. She started growling at him with her fur going all poofy.

"She's just a child! Li Jing!" shouted Wukong, struggling to move as the Jade Emperor was using his powers to keep him in place.

Li Jing ignored Wukong's pleas and went for the strike with his saber, the red monkey closed her eyes from the upcoming attack. But the hit never came, she slowly opened her eyes to see her baba having blocked the attack with his staff. "Baba!"

"Stay away from the child." Macaque growled as he struggled a bit against Li Jing's strength, since he was already pretty beat up from fighting the army so he wasn't in the best conditions.

"Six-eared-Macaque, thought you left to save your own skin." said Li Jing.

"Baba?" The red monkey looked at her parent worried about what the stranger was talking about, but also by how beat up he looked. She glanced over at her dada and their so called brothers, only now taking notice of how beat up they all were.

Macaque glared at Li Jing but took a glance at the red baby monkey. "I didn't think you'd go so far to kill a child, who hasn't even done anything wrong."

"You simians are nothing but trouble, and I'm not gonna stand by to see another one of your kind." Li Jing put away the Pagoda and was now using both of his sabers, going into attacking Macaque who fought back while trying to keep his child safe.

The red monkey was just standing on all fours in the air, watching closely her parent fighting against the stranger, but the longer the fight went on the more she could see that he was losing until he took a serious hit and was thrown into a mountain. "Baba!"

Li Jing appeared back at the red monkey raising his sabers. "Say your goodbye, demon child."

The red monkey's eyes widened and she let out a scream as cosmic energy was surrounding her, Li Jing, taken by surprise quickly moved away as a giant cosmic monkey avatar form was now towering over everyone, with the red monkey baby inside the avatar.

"By the Buddha, what is this!?" shouted Li Jing, glaring at the giant monster monkey in cosmic energy.

Wukong were just as surprised as everyone else at what they were seeing. "Maybe Macaque was right, about a baby monkey having powers is not a good idea."

The red monkey was crying out as her emotions were out of control, and so she started attacking anything around her.

The army and the other generals went on to attack the cosmic monkey with all their might, while a few stayed back to keep Wukong and the traitors from doing anything as they watched.

Crying out in pain and just wanting her parents, she tried blocking the attacks with her left arm while swinging around her right arm.

"Enough!" The Jade Emperor, tired of all the chaos coming from these monkeys, raised a hand and a symbol appeared on the red monkey's forehead. She screamed in pain and became more violence in her random attacks. Destroying forests and mountains around her until the giant monkey form disappeared.

The red monkey fell from the sky and down into a deep lake, holding her left arm in pain that was covered in scars and blood.

She looked up from the water she was sinking deeper into and her eyes widened in fear as a spear was thrown right at her, closing her eyes in a panic thinking this was the end.

Yet when she opened her eyes again she saw that she wasn't in the water anymore, but was now laying on the ground with rain falling down on her. Trying to move, pain shot through her left arm and she started crying out. She hadn't even noticed that she wasn't a monkey anymore, but now a normal human. The only features that she still had that resembled her monkey form was her short red hair and the white freckles on her face.

She kept crying out in the rainfall night until she heard movement, and soon enough a voice.

"By buddha! What did this!?"

She opened her eyes looking up and saw that it was an elderly woman in a nightgown, while holding an umbrella.

The woman looked around but couldn't see anyone else around, so she gently picked up the crying girl and carried her back into the building she came from. "Don't worry little one, you're safe now."
