LEGO Monkie Kid: The Emperor's Wrath

Monkie Kid!

Familiar tales New adventures

Monkie Kid!

The powers of the king Rest in his hands

When evil surrounds him

He'll rise up against them

And show them Who's the Monkie Kid

His staff out in his grasp His friends watching his back

'Cause he's the Monkie Kid!

-Ah... at least it's pretty? -Oh, sure.

If you ignore the strong "end of the world" vibes.

-The Pig-man is right. -Hmm?

Azure underestimated the control it takes

to wield the power of the Jade Emperor.

If we don't stop him, that power is gonna tear this world apart.

Monk. The scroll...

Have you repaired it?

One repaired piece of magical bamboo scroll

comin' up!

You can't be serious! There is no way that'll hold!

There ain't nothin' a bit of tape can't fix!

All righty!

Now to jump in there and find Monkey King.

Wait! How do you know that Monkey King is still, uh...

Wha... It's fine, it's Monkey King.

That guy is indestructible!

Be that as it may, we have no idea

what you'll find once you're inside

or if this magical tape will even hold!

Oh, it's not magical tape!

We have to try. He'd do the same for any of us.

You're right.

It's worth the attempt.

Can't believe I'm sticking my neck out

for Wukong, again...

What? You're coming too?

If he's lost in broken memories

from his past, then who better to tag along

than someone who was there for some of it?

And besides, your knowledge of The Journey to the West

seems pretty selective.

Wha--

You know what? Your criticism is harsh but fair.

All right, LEGO!

Wukong, what have you done?

Monkey King did this?

It looks like he's been tearing his way through his past.

-Trying to find his way to... -Me.

We need to find him. Fast.

Oh! There he is!

-That was easy. -That ain't him.

That's just a memory.

And a pretty broken one too.

Ugh, I really wish they'd used magic tape.

I'll know the real Wukong when we find him.

I can smell him a mile away.

Hey! That monkey is...

Hey!

Hey, little guy!

Huh?

All right. Let's get moving.

Whatcha tryna tell us, li'l guy?

Kid, come on, we gotta--

I think...

he wants us to go in...

that!

All right then!

You ready to become King of the Monkeys?

What?

'Cause when Monkey King jumped through the waterfall, he bec--

You really should read the book, kid.

Here we go!

How many of these little guys are in here?

I dunno, barrels worth?

Look!

I am the Monkey King! I'm speaking human!

Don't cha like it?

Just another memory, bud.

I am the Monkey King!

I'm speaking human!

Monkey King was so cute and cheeky.

I don't get it! I don't get how he ever made anyone mad

or got so many enemies.

He's just so...

This is like... Chapter One, kid.

Again, really gotta read the book.

Macaque!

You doing okay, bud?

Bud?

Welcome back, your majesty.

Bah, don't be like that.

Eat some fruit, soak up the sun!

That's why I've been training so hard!

What, so you can be the strongest?

No!

Well, maybe a little bit, but that's not the point!

It's so we don't have to worry about anything

or anyone ever again!

Just live a lazy life sittin' in the sun,

eatin' fruit and doing whatever we want.

Sounds pretty good, huh?

Huh? Huh?

Quit it!

Eat your dang peach.

You're a peach.

Why didn't he just stop right here?

He was already so much stronger than anyone ever needed to be.

Wukong didn't think so.

He always felt he had to be stronger.

More immortal...

He was so terrified of mortality,

he went so far as to take his name

out of the Book of the Dead.

But even that wasn't enough...

Yo, hey, bud! I got you a little something.

What? For me?

You're not serious, that whole peach is for me?

Bud, you shouldn't have.

Okay, you don't have to be so you about it--

No, no. Honestly, this is exactly what I need right now.

I'm trapped under a mountain

but the six-eared macaque brought me a peach!

Hurray.

You know I'd help if I could...

Oh, sure!

'Cause normally, you just rush to my rescue.

Yeah, okay.

Well, it was great seeing you, "bud"!

Just run off like you always do!

No, that's you!

You're the one who's always running off,

looking for more power or sources of immortality.

You're the one

who wouldn't quit while we were ahead!

Not "the great sage"!

He's gotta drag everyone else in his mess.

You're not in this mess, you're still free!

Everything I did was for us!

You did it for yourself!

You've become like this... obsessive demon!

I told you

going against the Jade Emperor was a bad idea,

but no, Wukong doesn't listen to anyone.

He just does whatever he wants!

You put yourself here, not me.

Fine! Leave!

I don't wanna see your face here again! You big... Gah!

I really wanted that peach.

So, Monkey King really was a bad guy?

That's what I believed...

What Azure would have you believe.

Then, he met him.

The monk.

Wukong was on a path of self-destruction.

We all were.

But when he met the monk,

it sent him down a different path.

Ah! The Path of the Good Guy!

Making those good life choices?

Every choice has consequences, kid...

For someone.

Okay, come on, man!

What happened between you two?

For realsies.

Seriously?

Come on, man. I need answers.

Woah...

This is Azure's "Utopia"

and this wasteland is the price he paid to build it.

He stole the energy he needed from everything around it.

I thought he wanted to help people.

He said he wanted to be the hero...

I'm sure he does.

Everyone thinks they're the hero of their own story.

Azure's always been good

at convincing people he's the good guy...

He's even fooled himself.

It's him.

Kid...

You found me.

I... I couldn't, I, I...

I just wanted to protect the people I cared about.

To be strong enough.

I lost sight of why I was doing any of it.

I know I've made a few lifetimes worth of mistakes, but...

Living them over and over again like this, I...

Well... Good thing you're immortal, right?

What?

There's plenty of time to do things over.

Kid... I...

You told me something that I thought was just

a-a weird Monkey King thing, but...

you were right!

We can't fix everything.

We just need to leave it

a little better than we found it.

As long as we stay true to that,

we can deal with whatever comes next.

Monkey King,

I'm not ready to not have a mentor.
