The Revenge Of The Spider Queen

A/n: Hi there! This chapter is much shorter because I cannot work on it as much due to work and family matters. I hope you can still enjoy it.

Chapter Eight 1/2

It was only a few days after the attack of Demon Bull King, and now it was the lunar New Year. A time to celebrate by spending time with family and friends, but you couldn't. Not with everything on your mind. Your fingers fidget with your necklace as you drown out the noises of the crowds.

~After DBK attack~

After the attack of the Demon Bull King and the bull clones, the city was a chaotic mess. During this time, the gang helps the citizens with the disaster mess. As for you, you had gone to check in on Bai He and her family. You were worried that something terrible happened to them.

Before you left to see them, you went back home. When you enter the boutique, you realize something missing. Chief's suit wasn't on the mannequin. You were worried and wondering if you had miss placed it, but found a bright blue note. You raised an eyebrow as you read it.

'My dear, (Y/n),

I'm glad to see that my clothes have been tailored, to fit me perfectly. Unfortunately, I had to leave before thanking you properly due to urgent matters that needed my attention. However, I promise to express my gratitude when I see you again.

Sincerely your Chief'

You smiled as your face had a pink glow on your cheek. You felt happy to read he liked the suit, but something was off. You couldn't understand why it felt like you were reading a different person's penmanship. You assume it was simply due to lack of sleep and ignore the idea.

Once you hit the road, you hoped Bai He and her family had escaped the bull clone invasions and were far away from the city. Luckily, you discovered that they had just returned home.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Upon arriving at Bai He's house, you were greeted by her distressed parents rushing towards you. After you got out of the car, you spoke with them and inquired about the situation. Their tear-filled explanation painted a bleak picture.

Bai He had gone missing.

Her parents explained how she went after the cat after it escaped the house before DBK's attack, but she never returned home. They checked with the police, but she wasn't there. They were hoping that she was with you, but they noticed that you arrived there alone. As you listened, you became stunned, and your gut twisted with fear about what might have happened to her.

A report was made about a missing child, but the police were occupied with handling multiple emergencies resulting from the attack. The only thing you and your group could do was search for the child. You put up missing posters at your boutique and Pigsy's noodles. You went to her favorite but nothing. As time went by without any leads, it became apparent that you were struggling. Your friends noticed that you were not getting enough sleep and had poor eating habits. To ease your mind, even momentarily, Sandy and Mei suggested taking you to the festival.

~Present~

You sighed in frustration as you sat in Pigsy's food van as the festival became more lively with each passing minute. You were too deep in thought to notice the bowl of noodles in front of you. It wasn't until Pigsy snapped you out of it, "Kid, your noodles are going to go soggy if you keep staring at them." He said as he started to make another bowl. "Oh yeah... Sorry, Pigsy." You said as you ate.

"I understand you are not feeling well, but if you don't take care of yourself, you can't give your best to help her." The demon pig said as you finished the bowl of noodles, staring down at the leftover broth, seeing your hazy reflection. "You're right." you said, "I need to get better before I find more problems or create them." You say, with a sigh, as Pigsy served another patron.

Your attention turned to the struggle of the dragon horse girl. Looking up to see Mei struggling to fold the dumplings, you could have sworn you heard her say something about how difficult it is without fingers. You chuckled as you offered to help. Mei smiled and gave you a few to fold.

Tang ate his noodles as he saw his husband becoming more stressed. "Mei, (Y/n). Is it me, or does Pigsy seem more stressed than normal?" He said to you. Making all three see the demon pig forcing a smile and sweating. You can feel the tension coming off of him."Yeah, isn't Mk suppose to be working?" You asked them, but as you said, Mk's name caused Pigsy to snap.

"YES! (Y/N), HE IS! " He yelled at the three of you, as he continued, "WHERE IS THAT PUNK! CAUSE HE'S SURE AIN'T HERE!" You and Tang held your breath cause you didn't know where Mk was until Mei spoke up. "He's training with the Monkey King!" She casually said to Pigsy. " He said, 'NEW YEAR, NEW MK! I'm going to take my training to a whole new level!'" She finished, posing like Mk and using a mop on the counter. You laughed as a frustrated Pigsy seized the mop from Mei and snapped it in half. "Gimme that!"

"NeW yEaR nEw Mk! Keep going like this, he'll be newly unemployed!" Pigsy said as he created another bowl. "I mean it! If mk don't get here soon, I'm gonna," Before he could finished, he was interrupted by a looming shadow. He screamed, causing you to turn towards the figure. You saw a very festive Sandy, his arms filled with treats, toys, red envelopes, and candy. "Good cheer and Happy New Year!" Sandy grinned as he dropped his haul on the counter and some on Pigsy. "Look at all these delicious little goodies! I got enough to share." He proudly said.

Tang, You, and Mei were impressed, "Oooh! Thanks, Sandy." Mei thanked the blue man. You picked up an orange from the pile and started to peel it. "Yeah, Thank you, Sandy." you smiled at him.

"No problem! So um. Where's Mk?" Sandy said as he scratched his head. Pigsy burst out of the treats and toy he was under. He shouted, "WOULD YOU GUYS, PLEASE, SCREW AROUND SOMEWHERE ELSE!" Making you flinch and drop the half-peeled orange. "If you ain't going to help, go bothered somewhere else!"

"Aw... My orange." You playful pouted, seeing it go down the drain. Mei and Sandy laughed while Tang ate more noodles, and you peeled another orange. Pigsy moves the treats and toy from the counter, "At least clear the counter!" He said.

Sandy sat down next to you while you ate your orange. "You okay? You seem to be doing better." He asked, as you nod your head and gave him a piece of your orange. " I am doing a little better now that I'm here with you guys." You sigh with a soft smile. Sandy pats your back as he accepts your offer. "That's good to hear. Don't worry, we'll find her," he reassured you.

"Thanks, guys." You smiled. Time flies by as you guys made your way to the lunar new year parade. Sandy carries Tang and Mei to get an amazing view of the floats. They were incredible as you watch the dancers, the dragons, and the fireworks. All of you were in awe as you saw it pass by. "Man, Mk is surely missing this!" Mei said as you agreed. "Yeah, look at all these cool floats!" You chirped with joy.

"There's the dragon one, and there's the spider one," Sandy said, confusing the gang. "What? There's no spider in the zodiac. It's probably just an eight-legged roster-" Tang said as he turned to the floats. "An eight-legged roster, Tang? I don't think they would mess up that bad-" you responded, but you saw the float.

It was a spider float, a machine-like spider with bright purple and green colors. Everyone was shocked and confused about the strange float, the whole parade stopped in its track. "What's happening?" You questioned as you felt your gut turn.

Just the Beginning 

Chapter 7

A/n: Happy New Year and very late Christmas! I hope this year has been kind to you and that next year will bring more wonderful surprises. This will be my last fiction post of this year, so i made it longer. I hope you enjoy it! (Sorry for the spelling and grammar errors. I think my dyslexia is getting worse.)

You looked down at the box in front of you. You knew whom it was from, feeling the butterflies in your stomach. You picked it up, taking it back inside, but not before skimming outside to see if Chief was out there. It felt futile as there was nothing but the silence of the night. You sighed, feeling defeated by the loneliness and concern about him.

You walked into the kitchen quietly and sat close to the counter, placing the box and envelope on it. You felt nervous about what it could contain inside. You held your breath for a moment before deciding to open it.

"My dear lady,

I wanted to apologize for our last date. I hope you enjoy this small gift to make it up, for the distress I caused you at the museum. When I saw it, I knew it had to be with you. I had to depart for the moment but rest sure I'll be fine and return as soon as possible.

~Sincerely, your Chief."

You felt your cheek becoming pink, but your mind became curious about what he was thinking after that day. As you carefully open the box, a creek from behind you. Closing the box and hiding the letter, you turned around to find Moe walking toward you. He purred on your leg as you gave a small sigh of relief. "Did I wake you up? I'm sorry." You said as you picked him up, letting him snuggle in your arms.

"Not only him." A voice came from the darkroom as you turned to see Pigsy. "Oh! I'm sorry, I couldn't sleep." You meekly spoke as Pigsy stared you down. Those minutes felt like hours as you sat at the counter and he was cooking something, and the air felt tense with doubt. You stared down at Moe in your arms till a bowl of noodles was in front of you. Confused, you looked up to see Pigsy, who seemed apologetic.

"I haven't been the best guest since this chaos started." He looked down at the floor before looking up at you. You gave a weak chuckle as you spoke, " Well, I wouldn't put it past you. Everything seems to be falling apart, so it's good to be careful around others." Pigsy sighed, "but it was rude of me to be hostile with you. You appear to be great friends with Sandy, and he knows how to bring the best out in someone." He said, and you nodded in agreement.

"I'm sorry for my rude behavior," Pigsy said as he hung his head in remorse. "It's quite alright. I should be thanking you for the amazing foods you made." You smiled as he lifted his head. Pigsy gave a soft grin as you ate. It was a while before you both finished and talked more. Pigsy soon left you alone to go back to sleep.

"Well, Moe, I guess I made a new friend." You talked to the yawning cat. "And it seems to be you getting sleepy too. Come on, let's go." You carried the blue feline and placed him on a soft pillow. After that, you remember the gifted Chief gave you. You went to find the box and envelope staring at it for a bit. "Better now than never." You whisper to yourself as you open the small box.

Inside the box was a teardrop pendant, and the gem was white with blue undertones, held by a silver chain. You were surprised by how it looked. It was so simple, yet it had elegance to it. "What am I going to do with the man?" You chuckled to yourself before putting it on. "Thank you, Chief. I hope you are safe where ever you are…" You said as you wanted to bed, looking outside the window. As you shut your eyes, you felt like someone was at the window before going to sleep, creating the pendant gave a faint glow of neon blue.

~timeskip because of the chaos~

It had been a few days after DBK and his bull clones had taken over the city. You attempted to search for Bai He and her family but weren't able to find them. You tried thinking optimistically, thinking they found shelter someplace safe. Feeling that two of the people you cared for the most could be in danger, you and the gang had taken up the duty to take out as many bull clones as possible, not only for them but for the citizens as well.

Since bull clones target you more than the others, Sandy taught you how to defend yourself, but most time Tang and you stayed in the truck and slammed into them. During the calm moments, you and Tang talked about JTTW and making sense of Mk being the Monkey King's successor.

Other times you cooked with Pigsy and had fun with Mei and Sandy. 'Mk' was unfazed by most things happening, but you included him either way. As well as finishing Chief's suit, having no way to contact him, you kept it safe till you met him again.

Today you guys head back to the noodles shop after getting some supplies. While driving closer, you noticed another Mk driving up to the shop. Unaware of the bull clones gathering closer as he steps out of the tuk-tuk. "Pigsy, step on it!" You wasted little time to say as Pigsy slammed the brakes and collided with the pile of bull clones that were almost bombarding Mk. Everyone came out of the truck and posed in front of mk. He was in awe as he saw the new outfits you crafted for the gang.

"Guys! Ohoh! You guys look so awesome!" He smiled as he got up from the ground, Mei jumping in front of him. You felt proud as Mei had to give him the news of DBK. "Yeah, so um. Some stuff happened while you were away. Got kinda intense." Mei said as she rubbed her head. You could see mk looked a bit confused as he spoke, "But I left you with one of my boys?"

Remembering the Mk inside the food truck, you turned your head towards him while tang gave a sarcastic remark about him. "Oh, he's been super useful." The other Mk spoke in a huff, "I don't know what to tell you, guy."

As he finished his sentence, his body glowed into a golden cloud before exploding into a bunch of hair. ' I guess that's what they meant when they say that's not mk…' you thought, as you Tang and Pigsy became covered in hair. You quickly swipe it off as you hear Mk asking Mei what happened during his time away.

"Well, after you left-" Mei's sentence was interrupted by a cough from tang before he spoke up. "If you'll allow me?" He gave a grin as Mei gave a groan of annoyance but allowed him to continue. Tang continues in a more narrative tone.

"Well, after you left, the bull clones attacked, but they were different. More powerful than before, we believe it all ties back to the demon bull king himself. Mk, he's conquered everything." Hearing this left Mk in shock about the situation. "Where is he? Where's DBK?" Mk asks, giving a serious look. Sandy spoke up as everyone turned towards him and the mountain. "We're not sure, but there's pretty scary noises coming from the mountain." You can see Sandy holding Moe tight.

"We better get going before he finds out Mk is here." You said as you walked towards the truck. Mk was surprised to see you, but he agreed, "yeah, let's ruin DBK parade again!" Everybody was inside as Pigsy slammed on the gas and sped to the mountains, lightning striking down close.

~Meanwhile, in DBK throne room~

In the deep underground, Deamon Bull King watches as his rain over megalopolis. He gave a roaring laugh at how the people coward in fear of the bull clones. DBK switches between the screens of bull clones seeing how empty the street of the city becomes. " Look at how they coward and run! With this power, not even the great sage could not stop me!" DBK heavily breathe, as he felt the power of the canister flowing in him. Princess Iron Fan was behind her husband, disliking his behavior, even after taking over the city.

Something wasn't right.

"Yes, father! We have finally taken our right full place as the rulers of the city!" Redson said as he moved beside her and spoke with pride. He was about laugh, but a warning appeared, catching the attention of everyone. DBK turned to the screen he saw Pigsy food truck heading their way. The computer scanned the beings in the moving vehicles, detecting six screen pops up. It showed Mk, Mei, (Y/n), Tang, Pigsy, and Sandy.

DBK heard the whisper of Lady bone demon in his mind as he saw the image of Mk. "MONKEY KING! COME TO TAKE ME? BIND ME?" He yelled, the image of Mk turned Sun Wukong, "I WILL NOT LET THAT SIMIAN ABOMINATION TRIUMPH AGAIN!" As he roared, PIF became uneasy about how the power was taking over him. It was only seconded till he noticed your image. The present you shifted to your past life.

"If it isn't that persistent pest? I'll be sure that she gets the message this time." He snarled, snapping his finger as bull clones rushed around him. "Be sure she is nothing but dust." Under his voice, he muttered, "I will not, be losing an instrument of my destiny even if he is slipping away from my control."

~ Back to You~

As Pigsy drove on, you realized it was hard to move. What hasn't occurred to anyone was the space in the truck. Everyone was squishing into each other you were under Sandy's arm and the door. "Oh, Mk! This is (y/n)! A friend of mine!" Sandy said as he did his best to make room. "Oh! I remember you!" He said, giving a grin. "Nice to properly meet you. I think, given the situation, it could be better." You nodded in agreement. "Yeah, but I guess now then never." You smiled.

"Wait, how did you get involved?" Mk asked curiously, you chuckled nervously, looking away, "A bit of a long story, but I was with Sandy when this started." It wasn't long before you guys reached DBK lair entrance. Lighting was struck on the symbol of the bull king, frightening Moe and causing him to crawl toward you. You held him close to make sure his alright.

Sandy smiled proudly and said, "Alright! what's the plan?" He looked at Mk. Who realized he didn't have a plan. "Uh… I don't know. I was just gonna to wing it?" He said, unsure. You, Mei, and Sandy agreed. "Sounds great! Let's go!" Sandy said as Mei pumped her hand in the air, and you grinned. Mk shook his head, "What! No, I didn't mean you guys too!" He expressed worried about their safety. Tang pushed up his glasses before speaking, "You thought you were going without us?"

Pigsy chuckled, "Mk, we get it. You're the monkey kid. It's your job to fight the bad guys." Sandy chimed in, "But we're your team, little man! And it's our job to get you there!" Mei smiled as she continued Sandy's sentience, "No matter what!" The whole gang had a big grin as they reassured Mk and their decision to fight by his side. Mk was touched, having tears almost spilling out as he turned to everyone and smiled. Before you knew it, the truck was already driving and flying toward the DBK lair.

As Pigsy landed, he swerved around before finding balance. Everyone was swishing around, but another truck appeared behind you and bumped into you guys. Tang flew out of his seat and on to window next to Pigsy as he tried to drive. As tang looked up, he could see an enormous hole in the ground, "look there! DBK throne room! It's gotta be-be down there!" He stammered as he could see a vehicle full of bull clones closing in on the truck. They collide with it a couple more times before using full force, causing it to explode. You did your best to protect yourself and Moe as rolling out of the truck. You, Tang, and Pigsy stayed behind as Sandy carried Mei and MK to the entrance.

"Go get him, Monkey Kid!!" You yelled with a grin as you stood up and regained balance. He turned back to see you, grinning before he almost fell off Sandy's shoulder. Mk was caught, by Sandy, as they ran towards the pit. You saw Sandy crush another one of the tank-like vehicles that charged at them. You placed Moe on your shoulder as you went to help Tang and Pigsy get up. "Okay, Now what?" Tang asked you.

"Well, crushing them first of all!" You said as you saw bull clones coming towards you. You handed Moe to Tang as you stood side by side with Pigsy. "Ready, kid?" He asked, and you nodded. "As I'll ever be." On cue, a swarm of bull clones came charging at you guys. One took a swing at you, causing you to dodge it and grab its arm. You took a stance as you threw it into another, who was aiming at Tang and Moe. Pigsy took out a line of sausages, using them as nun-chucks, and took out a few.

'Vermin! Can't let him go!' You turn to see one of the bull clones hissing at you. It was faint whispering, but as the bull clones got closer, it became one voice. You were surprised and shook your head as you kept focus as you kicked one to the ground. You looked up to see tang become pale but give a thumbs up. You weren't focusing on the next bull clone.

'I don't plan on losing my most faithful servant to some lowly mortal!' It aimed at you, getting a clean shot to your back as you weren't concentrating. 'Like you!' Your breath was knocked out of you as you tried to inhale. "(Y/n)!" Pigsy and Tang yelled as they saw you fall to the ground.

'You may have done better, but you're still weak! Your fate hasn't changed ' As bull clones stood over you before Pigsy punched them away. Tang rushes over as you try to regain your breath. You could hear laughter coming from the clones as they closed in on you four.

"You can do this, (Y/n)!" You heard a voice yelling as you opened your eyes and saw it was from Pigsy. "You have us now!" Tang raised his voice as he helped you sit up. "We're behind you, (Y/n)! No matter what!" another voice come out of nowhere. You, Tang, and Pigsy became confused for a moment, until you saw Sandy coming from the sky as he smashed into the bull clones. "Thanks, guys." You said as you felt your lips form into a smile as you got up.

"Guys, get on!" He said as he put you three on his back. Before he threw a punch, an explosion transpired, and bright blue lightning stuck, blinding you for a moment. You blinked a few times before you opened your eyes to see a spirit-like essence depart the bull clones' bodies. You heard the whispers, all chanting the same word.

'Freedom'

The nowempty clones soon collapse to the ground. Tang followed, soon after, who was drained. You let go carefully and took a sigh of relief for a moment. "Is it over?" you asked the group. "Yeah, it is!" Mei's voice was heard, from inside a huge monkey mech coming from the ground with Mk.

After a while, you all sat on the shoulder of the monkey mech, eating a bowl of noodles. "Welp, ya did it, kid," Pigsy said before taking another bit of noodles. Sandy was grinning as he held Moe in his hand, "You beat DBK again!" You saw Mk seeming down and doubtful of what happened with DBK. "I'm not sure I did. Whatever was powering him up. It made him different." He said. in seeing this, Mei tried cheering him up.

"But we won~! right?" Tang chimed in after her. "I'm sure it's fine." He soon put his chopstick in Pigsy's bowl, trying to take some noodles. " You were done with this?" Pigsy, not having it, took his bowl away from tang. "Hey, get your mitts off my bowl tang!"

"At least over now, right." You said as they agreed. As you finished eating, a feeling lingered as you all went home. You recalled the blue spirit leaving the bull clones.

'It is over, right?'

We'll Meet Again, Some Sunny Day

A/n: Y/n doesn't remember the white void. This to me longer because i had to find a new writing system. My old one was failing me and i wasn't getting shit done like before. There will be Headcanons later this weekend. Thank you all for your patience!

You and Sandy turn your heads to the city, now looking like ruins. Bull-like figures appear from the shipping crates. They crept closer to the ship, and the sounds of metal clashing against each other grew. You can see the form of these robotics bull clear as day, with blue screens for eyes and whispers emitted from them.

They soon began to pick up speed and jumped on board, crashing into the floor and creating craters. They turned towards you two but stared only at you for a moment before attacking. You knew the pepper spray you had wasn't going to work.

Two bull bots aimed at you, making you fall backward, letting them plunge into the floorboard. "Careful (Y/n)!" You heard Sandy shout as he threw three robots overboard. But they kept crawling back on the boat.

"What are those things?!" You shouted as you tried to regain your balance before feeling your body lifted up and over Sandy's shoulder. Moe jumped into your arms as all three of you guys ran. "SANDY!" You yelled as more chased after you guys.

"Sorry (Y/n), we gotta get to safety." He shouted as he was about to go to an elevator, but the junks of metal, were blocking it. He decided to run to a nearby speedboat. Somehow this blue man got the speedboat on land and breezed past the bulls.

It happened fast before you realized you were on the speedboat, as the blue cat in your arm patted your face to get your attention. It was a while till you reached your destination.

Pigsy noodle.

As Sandy got there, he landed on more bull robots. You three got out and met with the demon pig. He was with two others trying to figure out what was happening. You stepped off and caught their attention. You saw it was the girl with the dragon jacket and a man with glasses.

" Guys, this is my friend (Y/n). She was with me when the bull clones started to attack."Sandy explained to the gang before they turned to you. "Sorry again, (Y/n), for throwing you over my shoulder." You shook your head in response to his apology. "It's fine, Sandy. I think it was the best idea. my legs felt like jelly." You stated as Sandy introduced you to the others.

"(Y/n), this is Pigsy, Mei, and Tang!" He beamed as you waved at them. Pigsy sighed, "Hey there, sorry, but this isn't the time for introductions. Now is the time to prepare and find out what is happening." He was correct.

"It seems like DBK is trying again to conquer the city again. It's actually working this time." Mei said as she looked through her social media and newsletter. "DBK?" You asked, not understanding what it meant.

Tang cleared his throat and pushed up his glasses, "the demon bull king. He was one of the most dangerous and feared demons long ago. After he fought Monkey King, he became trapped by his legendary staff. But after recent events, he is released once again." He expressed as he posed dramatically. You remember about DBK through the last time he attacked. It nearly destroyed your boutique and home.

"Since mk isn't here to fight him, the city will be under his control in only a few moments." Tang sadly said. "Not unless we do something to stop him!" Pigsy said while you were putting the piece that Mk was the hero who fought him last time.

"Wait, You mean Mk was the one who defeated DBK?" You asked Tang, who nodded in response. He was about to speak, but Mei stopped him. "Yeah, don't you remember the not mayor giving him the key for saving the city?" She said, but you rubbed your neck. "No." You gave chuckled as she explained.

'mk is the new successor to the Monkey King, defeating DBK and his family. Especially red son! Save the world and learn to be the next Monkey King!' She said and showed images from Mk's battle, but something caught your attention.

"If we need Mk, isn't that him?" You pointed at 'Mk' walking out of the store. He appeared annoyed and indifferent about what was happening. Mei sighed and shook her head, "That's not mk." She hesitantly answered, pushing you away from him.

"Is he MK's twin?" You asked, but Mei ignored the question while 'Mk' scoffs, "I don't know what to tell you, guy." He said before heading to Pigsy's food truck. "Well, we better get ready before more of those junk of metals come," Pigsy warned, but it was too late.

A wave of Bull clones came out of nowhere. They stood around you and the gang, whispers growing louder. You heard a few words through the sound of unhinged metal jaws.

'another bump in the road of my destiny,'

'Your destiny hasn't changed just because you did.'

'You never learned your lesson, did you?'

'It seems I need to take care of this distraction,'

You felt the eyes of someone you knew. The same neon blue glow in your nightmares, but more aggressive and colder. If looks could kill, you'd be dead where you stand.

You stood there dumbfounded by the number of bull clones crawling on the buildings. One rushed to you, causing you to dodge its fist, only missing you by a few inches.

"To your right! (Y/n)!" You heard Mei order, making you hustle out of the way. Mei dug her sword into the clone, slicing it in half. More came charging at you guys, Mei was ready, but Pigsy's van was ramming into the and stopping in front of you two. Swinging the door, Pigsy shouted, "Get in! There's too many of them!"

You and Mei moved into the van quickly before more could reach you. Pigsy raced out of there, while bull clones were close behind. The gang drove for a while to shake off the remaining bull clones. "Where are we now?" Tang questioned, seeing the streets now vacant of life. You looked out the window and saw it was your home street.

"Hey, this is my street. Maybe we can hide out there for a bit. At least till the streets are clear." You said, making the gang agree because it was a sanctuary for now.

You gave directions to the shop. By the time you reached it, it was intact. Strangely enough, nothing seemed out of place. The buildings around it were crumbling, but not yours. You had an idea of who was keeping an eye on it.

You and the gang walked into the shop for a moment of peace. But it wasn't long till Pigsy asked you. "Odd, how come your place is in good condition, but others seemed to be deteriorating?" He looked at you, and you felt like they were knives.

You didn't know how to explain it! You were trying to understand the truth before all this mess! Even if you did, you probably made more enemies. "Uhm, I don't know, honestly," Your body felt like it was sinking to the floor underneath you. Sandy notices your expression and chimes in, "well, let's relax for a minute. I think it's just a coincidence." Pigsy sighed before moving on from it.

"Well, the city is now infested with these things. We'll have to wait out till Mk gets back." He said as Mei continued, "Until then, we will try and take out as many junk bots!" She beamed. Everyone agreed to this plan.

It wasn't long till everyone was doing their own thing. Mei was admiring your outfits, Tang documenting the event of what's happening, pigsy cooking some food, and 'Mk' not helping. Sandy, on the other hand, was worried about you and the new danger of these bots.

Meanwhile, you were doing something to calm your nerves and newfound dread.

Sewing.

You sew it had help when the dreams started, and you hope it will help you now. You continue to make the suit that Chief has a commission. But you were trembling and felt the needle prick your finger every time you stitched. You cursed under your breath before deciding to stop cause it wasn't helping. You had to take this moment to process everything going on. Or at least try.

Sandy sensed the stress you were going through as he walked into the back of the store to check in on you. He found you sitting down on the floor, trying to take a breather.

"(Y/n), you alright?" He whispered as he sat next to you. You nodded at first but soon shook your head afterward because it wasn't true. You weren't doing alright because of this. "No, I don't believe so," You answered. " First, finding out about my nightmares were my past life was a lot. Second, finding out my past love was the one who ended me and is still alive. Third, now this DBK is after me for some reason!" You vented it and felt your hands shaking.

"Sorry, it's just so much more. Just a couple of hours ago, I learned about Chief and him being my past love in my other life. Now, this…" You said as Moe walked from Sandy's shoulder to your arms. The blue feline helped you settle down as you took in deep breaths.

"It's okay, (Y/n). You have a right to feel like this and not know what to do next." Sandy said as he patted your back. "You also don't need to explain it to anyone else if you don't want." He mentioned, referring to Pigsy early. You chuckled, shaking your head. " I don't blame him. I would also be curious if somebody's place wasnt a mess during all this."

You felt better as you petted Moe, and the world seemed the slow down for a moment. "(Y/n), maybe it's a good idea to stay with us for a while after DBk is defeated. Just in case more things like this happen." Sandy said, breaking the silence. You thought about it. It was a good idea, especially with DBK coming after you for some reason.

"I'll think about it. Maybe when Pigsy isn't suspicious of me." You laughed. Sandy smiled, seeing you feeling much better than earlier. "I'm going to make some tea. You want some?" He asked, making you nod before seeing him leave.

Now, you're with your thoughts and a sleepy Moe. Moe kept grabbing your hand as you tried to get up but ultimately gave up and kept sitting down petting the blue feline. You sighed as your mind tried to piece together this newfound information.

"Now what?" You said out loud, " I have this huge revaluation of remembering my past life, dating my past love. Now this DBK guy wants me dead or something." You thought before your mind wandered to Chief and his peculiar smile.

You can feel your face turning pink as you recall your date with him. The fact that you still had the same feelings for him even after reincarnation.

"Is it okay to feel this way for him?" You question yourself before remembering the last few moments of your dreams.

"And is he still possessed by the 'humble spirit'?" You said. It wasn't long before you heard someone bursting into the room.

An excited Mei barged in and grinned. "(Y/N)! YOU'RE A DESIGNER, RIGHT!? MAYBE, WE CAN MAKE SOME COOL NEW OUTFITS! LIKE APOCALYPSE STYLED!" She expressed as you laughed. "Yeah, that sounds like fun. It can help get my mind off things." You said as you got up to see her ideas.

~hours later of Creating new outfits with Mei~

It was nighttime and had outfits on models. You and Mei decide to wait till morning to show it to the gang, but it's time to rest. You offered your home for them to sleep in and did your best to make them comfortable. Everyone was sleeping or was trying to. You went to the top of your building. Walking on the roof, you saw the city looking deteriorated but with fewer bull clones.

You stayed for a while before heading back until you heard the door close. You turned to see an envelope with a small box sealed with a blue bow.
