[man] Lotus. Then quiet.

Put your focus on the polarity of...

[Master] Where are you?

[gods grunting]

I'm here.

But I should be out there.

[Master] You must master this before you train with the others.

What does it matter?

I need to destroy demons, not write them love letters.

Which is why you are the head of the palace guard.

But you need to learn the ancient language.

It is a privilege given only to the gods.

I know the human language.

I'll never need this. Never have, never will.

You are unique, Monkey.

That is why we brought to you to the academy.

We must take our time.

-We do not yet-- -Understand my potential.

Master, why do you keep this if no one ever wears it?

A memory of the days before gods understood...

that we do not need a king.

[Tripitaka] Monkey? Monkey!

[breathing heavily] Wake up.

Help him!

[shaman] I warned him not to go so deep.

They will never get him back.

[Tripitaka] Monkey, please... Wake up!

Late.

Couldn't get your hair right? [scoffs]

You're not exactly run off your feet.

What's the rush?

[people applauding]

[Lior] Hear that?

The Master's teaching his signature combination tonight.

I've got my own tricks.

[breathing heavily]

Best be on your toes.

It's out there.

The demons are watching.

They're gathering, and they will come for us.

Really beating a path to the gate.

Hope I can handle it.

[grunts]

Just do your job.

Thank you all for coming.

I know. It's hard to believe that there was a time

when my greatness wasn't appreciated.

[scoffs]

A time when many didn't understand the importance of hitting a rock...

[grunts] with a stick.

[cheering]

[people applauding]

[Master] The Tall Son. The first of the Three Son combination.

Now, something a little trickier.

The Dizzy Son.

The Angry Son.

And now, begin.

[gods grunting]

[Master] Keep your balance. Find your form.

And again.

Channel your power.

[gods continue grunting]

[people screaming]

[grunts]

The Tall Son.

[growls]

The Dizzy Son.

[groans]

[grunting]

The Angry Son!

[both grunting]

[panting]

I like to call this one "the Heavy Son."

[screams]

[sighs and chuckles]

A little twist on an old favorite.

I think we can all agree it was perfect.

[chuckles] Yeah.

Grateful lot, aren't you?

How did the demon get through the gate?

We will speak about this at the assembly.

You are dismissed.

[indistinct chatter]

[Davari groaning] You got me in the eye.

[Monkey] Come on, Davari, you can't fool me.

Oh, I'm serious, man.

Whoa, I can see two of you.

And you're both ugly.

[grunting]

Oh, come on. God versus human.

-No, not now, Davari. -What?

-Not now. -Yeah, trouble in Godland?

What's wrong with a warrior being a warrior?

You know, you don't try and turn it into something it's not.

It's like you don't take a peach and turn it into an apple.

What if they want you to be both? A peach and an apple?

-A papple? -You know what is both?

A master.

Yeah, a master is a little bit of everything.

Yeah.

Hey. Hey, hey.

You don't think they're training me to become a master, do you?

What else?

Oh.

You left your post, inviting danger into the palace.

This is the seat of the power of the gods, home of the sacred scrolls.

As head of the guard, it is your responsibility to protect the palace.

If you cannot accept that responsibility, then perhaps you should be relieved of it.

Now that you mention it, I've been thinking.

-I'd like to step down. -Oh?

And what role would best suit your talents?

You can speak freely.

I think we both know.

So, share it with us.

The private lessons. The talk of my potential.

I am to be a master, and I accept.

I am a little early, but that's the plan, eventually, isn't it?

Isn't it?

[chuckles]

A master must bring out the best in those that they teach.

If you can bring out the flower bloom of this bud...

then you will prove all you need.

That's easy.

[chuckles]

[clears throat]

The first time, a student.

The second, a master.

[chuckles]

Of course.

More force, more magic, more Monkey.

[grunting]

[panting]

-[Monkey grunts] -I have failed you.

I did not give you the guidance that you needed.

Forgive me.

Why are they trying to hold you back?

The gods must be jealous of you to be trying to control you like this.

They can have all of it.

I don't belong here.

When I go home, I'm gonna make my own kingdom.

You're leaving Jade Mountain?

Mmm-mmm. No, no, this is... This is where you need to be.

This is the center of the world.

What's the point in coming here if you leave with nothing?

They belittle you. They look down on you.

When if you wanted to, you could destroy them all.

You are a king.

And you deserve a crown.

You've been a good friend, Davari.

The only one, really.

[Tripitaka] Monkey, can you hear me?

Come back, please. We won't leave without you.

[Pigsy] Oh, they've invited their little friends.

They're not little, especially that one. He's massive.

[growling]

-[Sandy] What do you want? -[Raxion] Hmm?

[chuckling] We want you... and we've got ya!

I'm not sure what I should do.

Well, think of something! Anything.

[chanting] Na ninekah alookah enumbah kudantai calaporeekah.

[Davari] ...look down on you.

When if you wanted to, you could destroy them all.

You are a king.

[Tripitaka chanting] Na ninekah alookah enumbah kudantai calaporeekah.

Na ninekah alookah enumbah kudantai calaporeekah.

[Tripitaka chanting]

-You've been a good friend, Davari. -[Tripitaka] Monkey, we have to go!

The only one, really.

Monkey?

Can you hear me?

Monkey, you have to find your way back.

Na ninekah alookah enumbah kudantai calaporeekah.

Na ninekah alookah enumbah...

[gasps]

[breathing heavily] Monkey? What was that?

Was it real?

Na ninekah alookah enumbah kudantai calaporeekah.

[echoing] Na ninekah alookah enumbah kudantai calaporeekah.

Na ninekah alookah enumbah kudantai calaporeekah.

Na ninekah alookah enumbah kudantai calaporeekah.

Na ninekah alookah enumbah kudantai calaporeekah.

Na ninekah alookah enumbah kudantai calaporeekah.

[Master] A crown does not make a king.

I don't need your permission.

You broke in here to steal the crown.

That much is clear.

Why did you bring me to join the gods? You knew I would fail.

We make mistakes, but we can mend them.

Who said I wanna fix things?

[Master] You're still here.

-[blade stabs] -[groans]

[Monkey] Master?

[both grunting]

[panting]

Master?

-[groaning] -Master.

I'll stay, Master. I'll stay.

You'll recover, and everything will be as it was, okay?

It's too late, Monkey.

I have seen this day coming.

The demons, they've tasted blood.

[gasping] The sacred scrolls...

they are coming for them.

Take them and hide them well.

Master? Master?

Master! Master!

What have you done?

Murderer!

He has the sacred scrolls.

-[Tripitaka] He's innocent! -[Lior] Stop him!

-[guards clamoring] -[whistles]

[panting]

You can't hide, traitor! We will never stop looking.

Na ninekah alookah enumbah kudantai calaporeekah.

[Monkey] Master.

Forgive me.

[breathing heavily]

Tripitaka.

I'm lost.

Help me.

Help...

[shuddering]

[Tripitaka] I will. I will.

Na ninekah alookah...

[gasps]

[sniffs]

-Tripitaka? -You can see me?

[blades clashing]

[groans]

Who are you?

Tell me.

The mask. You broke it.

[sighs] Follow the demon.

[guards clamoring]

-[guard 1] Over here! -[guard 2] Secure the chambers.

Davari?

No, it can't be. He's not a demon.

[Monkey] As the Master wished,

I scattered the scrolls to the corners of our world.

They chased me and found me.

Hauled me back to face trial for a crime I didn't commit.

In the wild where you were found, where the Master gave you kindness

and mercy that you had not seen and did not deserve...

there you will be punished.

As you took the life and liberty of the Master,

so shall your liberty be taken from you.

Your prison will be one not of quiet contemplation

but of permanent exile.

Nothing.

I had to do nothing.

For the flower to open, all I needed was time.

Your body will be frozen. Your story will be forgotten.

The world will consume you.

This was never forged to damage gods.

[chanting] Na ninekah alookah enumbah kudantai calaporeekah.

[gods chanting] Na ninekah alookah enumbah kudantai calaporeekah.

Na ninekah alookah enumbah kudantai calaporeekah.

Na ninekah alookah enumbah kudantai calaporeekah.

Na ninekah alookah enumbah kudantai...

The demons! They're here.

[clamoring]

We're under attack.

[gods yelling and screaming]

[softly] ...kudantai calaporeekah.

[gasps]

-[breathing heavily] Did you see? -The demons were waiting.

The gods didn't have a chance.

It was the beginning of dark times.

Without you, the gods were weak.

That was Davari's plan.

-He used me. -[Raxion] Problem?

The monk, he just spoke the ancient language.

-[Sandy grunts] -But the monk is human.

And a human mind is very, very easy to exploit.

-Weapon up! You're going in! -[all grunt]

Uh, excuse me. Hey.

I'm sure you're having profound feelings at the moment,

but we're about to be attacked by some very angry-looking warriors.

[all growling]

Shaman, do some shaman magic on them.

I was betrayed.

The demon made a fool...

-Destroy him! -...of me!

[warriors grunting]

What's he doing?

[warriors groaning]

Are we winning?

[warriors groaning]

[gasps]

[groaning continues]

I... think not.

Stop.

Stop! You must not break the seal!

You will contaminate the spaces and destroy everything.

[Monkey] Don't worry.

You won't be around long enough to see it.

[shaman] Then I'll kill us all,

and we will all suffer the same fate, Monkey King.

-Oh, you wanna play catch? -Monkey, no. I know what it does.

It destroyed my home, and it swallowed everything.

[whirring]

Monkey, please, trust me. We have to go.

[Tripitaka] Monkey!

Shaman, make your move, or we're cooked.

[Tripitaka] Leave it, Monkey. Fight him another day.

[sighs]

If we weren't already dead, we are now.

We had the Monkey King, and we let him escape.

We have found something far more valuable than broken gods.

A human who knows the language of the scrolls.

The monk is the one we need.
