Chapter 14

A Bigger Problem

    Sandy, Pigsy, and I went inside the pagoda. We begin to walk around in search of our Master. "Search the rooms. Be prepared to fight if needed." I said. "Right,"  Sandy said. "But there is no one here," Pigsy said.  We split up to check the rooms. I check one of the rooms and see nothing but a pile of clothes. I look in the pile and find a belly dancer outfit in jade green like the one I have but it's decorated in blood. "I'll clean this later for now I'll keep it in this bag." I put it in a bag and continue looking inside the rooms. We came back to the center of the pagoda and reported our findings. Pigsy comments on the outfit, but I gave him a scary look. As we continued talking, my ear twitched hearing a sound. I stopped talking and looked around to see what that noise was. I turned to see a statue of a monk, but something was off here. "Guys, keep your guard up. We're being watched." I tell them. I looked at the statue closely. I use my demon eyes to reveal the nature of the monk statue. "*sighs*" I pulled my staff from my hair letting my braid fall out from its bun. I twirled it a few times and pointed it to the statue "Reveal yourself. You may have my companions fooled, but not me. I can smell a heavenly and demonic stench coming from you. I can smell things up to 60 miles"  I growled at the "statue" "Huh?" Sandy said "..............Well it would seem that I've been found out" a voice came from the statue. "Listen, I'm not in the mood for this, just give us our master back so we can leave this place. You reek of his scent." I said the demon sheds his disguise to reveal a long red mane, with sharp fangs, blue eyes, red skin, and a sword. "Hello there, to what do I owe the pleasure, Princess?' He asked. "*sighs* May we have our master back?" I said calming down but still cautious. "Maybe, if one of your friends can beat me," he sounded confident. " I'll do it!" Pigsy said "Oh boy. Sure you can. If you beat him I'll kiss you." I said "Don't worry. I'll win" Pigsy readied his weapon. "That's what I'm afraid of," I said. Pigsy ran up to him and the demon moved out of the way and made a counterattack. Pigsy barely dodged it. Pigsy used his rake to throw some of the ground at the demon. It made contact. "Oof," the demon said as he flew back a couple of feet. "You'll pay for that," he said wincing.

Meanwhile........ 

    "How do I get out of this?" Master said as he woke up underground. He felt that his disciples knew he went missing. All he could do at this point is pray. "Hm? What?" a voice ran to him He opened his eyes to see a princess in his line of sight. "Who are you?" he asked "I am a princess of a kingdom not far from here. I was Kidnapped and my father knows nothing of my well-being. Please I ask you to help me get this letter to my father, "The princess asked. "Of course, I can," he said as she untied him and snuck him out of the pagoda into the forest to await the others.

Back to the fight.....

    The demon and Pigsy throwing blows at each other. Sandy and I were just watching them bring to each other. The demon threw a punch at Pigsy and he flew a few back. And when the topic of me came up, I just walked into one of the rooms to clean the belly dancer's outfit with some soap and water. I looked at the now clean outfit. "It looks so much better now without all that dried blood on it. Plus it looks more radiant." I said looking happy. I came back to see them taking too long. "how long have they been going at it?" I asked Sandy. "For at least an hour." He said. I sat next to him waiting for the fight to be over already. Pigsy got up and tried to flee when the princess came in to distract him while we sneaked out the front door. We saw Master with the horse safe and sound. "I'm glad you're safe Master," I said to see him unharmed. "How did you escape?" Sandy asked. "I had help from the princess inside that pagoda, but we need to go to the kingdom not far from here and give her father this letter of her whereabouts," Master said. "Another Princess?" Really?" Pigsy said delighted. Sandy and I looked at him with malice in our eyes with surrounding dark aura. "DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT" We said to him and he understood the consequences of his action would he try again. We began our walk to the kingdom to give Princess Hundred Shame's Father her letter. We arrived at the kingdom and asked for an audience with the king with great urgency. A guard guides us to the throne room. Master gives the king the letter. "I'm so happy to know my daughter is alive, but there is one problem though." the kind said with a sad expression. "What's wrong my king?" Master said. "I am happy she is alive, but I do not have enough men to rescue my precious daughter. Do you think any of your disciples could defeat the demon and bring her back to me?" The king asked. Master smiled. "Actually yes I do! Li can you come here for a moment?" I walked up to Master. I hummed in response to the question. "Can you show the king your powers and combat skills?" Master asked. "Why of course Master. Anything to help the king."  I bowed. 'Finally! A chance to show my skills.' I smiled in thought. I walk to the center of the room and pull out my  Bo staff from my hair, letting my braid down in elegance. I take up a Dancer's position and began my performance by swinging my staff around to attack the knights in a dance-like motion like I'm in a battle, then showed my sword skills in the same way, my power of illusion, and my elemental powers. I ended the performance with my hands in the air with a look of mystery on my face. Everyone including the king was in awe of my performance of my martial arts and powers. "Such elegance and strength................to think you are a princess, yet you carry yourself so well; I am surprised you are not a queen of your kingdom." the king clapped in amazment. "Actually I am my king, just not officially," I said to the king. Just as the king was going appoint me in charge of getting his daughter back, Pigsy interrupted him "Your Highness, I think I should go. It's like you said she is a princess, but would it at least make sense to ensure her safety as well?" Pigsy said. And in A matter of seconds, the king changes his mind to allow Pigsy to go instead of me. The king said he felt fooled by my wiles and chose to rely on Pigsy. Pigsy begins to leave for the pagoda. I am shaking in rage that I do not get a chance to release my anger against him for what happened with Wukong. Master takes notice of my anger and asks me and Sandy to watch over him because he is way over his head. "If something happens please come back and report to me," Master said. We agree to go help him. At first, I didn't want to help and let him suffer the consequences of his actions, but Master insisted that we help him so I caved into his demand. "Don't worry! I'm twice as Strong as Wukong. So Everything will be fine." Pigsy said. We look at each other and then at him. "Yeah he's dead," We said to each other. We get to the place and Pigsy demanded a re-match. As we fight him, Pigsy gets knocked back a few feet. He got up and ran leaving us to fight the demon. "Pigsy!!!!!!!!! Get back here!!!!!!!!!!!" Sandy and I yelled at him. He didn't hear us as he continued to run.  The demon gets the jump on Sandy and now I face the demon alone. I managed to get a few good hits in and he begin to laugh. "It's *pant* been a while since *pant* I've fought a powerful foe. For a woman, you are amazing at martial arts. But it's to be expected from the Buddha's Chosen one." He said. "Chosen one? What are you talking about?" I said to him. "Oh, so you don't know then? It's a shame really. You have all that power but don't know how to use it. He said. "I want to ask you what you are talking about, but I need to save my master. Maybe I'll ask after this." I said as I land a hit on his stomach. When I try to go for the final blow, he cast a wind spell to knock me back so far that something hits me and pulled the wind out of my chest. When I was unable to move, the demon found some rope and started to tie up Sandy and me and begin to carry us to the dungeon. I regain my consciousness and transformed into my fox form and slipped out of the ropes and put up a mirage of myself. "Go find Pigsy and go get the only person who can actually fix this. I leave this to you, my friend!" Sandy said as he saw me running out of the place injured. "I'll be back Sandy." I said to him via telepathy. "Honey.........Did you have anything to do with this?" he said pointing to an unresponsive Sandy. "Uh No?" She said. "OK. I think it's time I go meet your father." He said as he went to the palace to present himself to the king. "Oh no." the princess said concerned.
