Hm...

Monkey King pulls up the staff with a flag attached to it. MK looks viscerally insomniac.

Monkey King: Okay, Monkey Class is back in session.

MK: Hmm, what?

Monkey King: You plant this Monkey Flag on your Monkey Mountain and you win. I plant it on my "Way Better Monkey Mountain" and I win! Ready?

MK: Ohohoho, I've never been ready-er. No holding back, LE'GO!

Monkey King: You sure? Cause, you're looking a little...

MK: Less talky, more trainy, Monkey King. I already set the bait!

Monkey King chuckles and throws the flag staff at him.

MK: What?! Hey! I thought it was "Keep-Aways", not "Throws-at-mes"! Well if you wanna play hard-ball, get ready to play har—

Monkey King tries to snatch the staff away before MK kicks him back and flies away. Monkey King catches up to him as MK laughs manically.

Monkey King: Woah, bud. You're getting so much faster.

MK: Yeah, I—

Monkey King: But not fast enough!

Monkey King and MK continue fighting to snatch the flag, before MK pushes him away and flies to his mountain.

MK: You were saying?

MK laughs.

MK: Here... comes... Monkie—

Monkey King: ...King!

He throws the flag and MK all the way to his mountain. Monkey King comes back to pick up the staff.

MK: Hey, no fair! We said "no holding back", but you were holding back the whole time when I was right about to win.

Monkey King: Wow, bud. I was only holding back a teensy bit. We gotta keep something for you to look up to. Besides, I'm not the only one holding back. Maybe if you tapped into your full power, you'd have won!

MK starts having flashbacks to when he fought the Protective curse and Azure Lion.

Monkey King: Kid?

MK: I'm fine, i-it's fine. I—

MK and Monkey King notice a broken magic stone.

Monkey King: Oh, huh. A stone. I mean... our stone. You know it's not something we can outrun, right? Your monkey form, what it means?

MK: Uh, can we-can we just not?

Monkey King: Do you uh— You sleeping okay, bud?

MK: Huh? Yeah, yeah! Yeah, I just got-I just got-I just gotta keep moving, is all.
