Dialogue

It got dicey there for a minute, but we beat the fiend AND bagged the relic! Talk about your happy endings. And we were able to save that villager before she was sacrificed, which is the greatest relief of all. *huff* *pant* And now we can climb to the Qilin village again... *wheeeze* Are you SERIOUS, master?! Uh oh. Was that Wu Kong? It's also my duty to handle the Qilin relics we collect, so why won't you give me the Jin Gu Er?! The Jin Gu Er is astronomically powerful. Handling it demands the utmost caution. You said the same thing when we were dealing with the Hong Hulu... I'm doing it just fine! The Jin Gu Er's power is of an entirely different nature. A single mistake with it would be one that we likely could not recover from. You just don't trust me to handle it! Wu Kong, I need you to be reasonable. Reasonable... Hmph! Oh man, if he pouts any more, a chicken's gonna walk on that lip. I get where he's comin' from. There was a time my village didn't trust me, after all. It's not that I don't trust him. Yeah, I get that, but try tellin' it to the kid. He will understand someday. I pray he does. Goodness, but it is a difficult thing to have a student. Wu Kong! How long you planning to stand around pouting, my man? I'm NOT pouting. Okay, well, how long are you planning on NOT pouting? C'mon, let's have an apple or something and call it a day. I'm not you, Luca. I can't just eat my troubles away. ...Hey. Did it ever strike you as weird that I'm a human? You mean because a Qilin who's hunting Qilin relics has taken you on as a pupil? I won't pretend to understand what she does, but I'm sure there's a reason for it. Sealer training actually takes decades. But since I'm human, I'll be a worn out old man by the time I actually get to work as a sealer. Yeah, I've heard the Qilin people live longer lives than us sylvans. Which is why there was resistance among other Qilin when my master chose to take me on as a pupil. But she did it anyway. That's why I can't wait decades to become a sealer—I have to prove she was right! Hey, I hear you. But because it's such a noble thought, that's all the more reason why you can't ignore what your master tells you. I understand that. So don't rush it, yeah? Let's just go find some chow and worry about all of this later. You'll only have more dark thoughts if you're hungry! But I have to become a sealer...

All right, this is it... Hmm? Where could Wu Kong be headed at this hour? Zzzzzz... Murg?! H-hey, what's up, Euden? It's nothing. Go back to sleep. I'll handle this.

This is incredible! Wu Kong? Ah! The hell, man! Don't surprise me like that! Wu Kong, is that the Jin Gu Er? Shhh! Not so loud, idiot! My master will find me! You snuck out here with it against your master's explicit orders? I'm just borrowing it for a little while! I'll give it right back soon as I'm done. I'm gonna prove that I can handle the Jin Gu Er as well as she can! I REALLY don't think this is a good idea. I'm a full-fledged sealer now—and you're going to be the first to witness it! Whoa! You flew into the air! Oh, that's just the start. Check...THIS! You duplicated yourself! How do ya like THEM relics?! Ha ha ha! This really is amazing! Aaaaah ha ha ha! You mean the Jin Gu Er? That's nothing. What's REALLY amazing is me using it like a total pro! ...Huh? If I wanted, I could slice down all the trees and raze this entire forest! I could raze all the forests in the WOOOORLD! BWAAAA HA HA HA HA! Wu Kong, what's wrong with you?! Wrong?! WRONG?! Nothing is WRONG! I feel AMAAAAZING! WU KONG! Aaah ha ha ha! Hello there, master! Do you like what you see?! Why did you defy my orders?! You should be THRILLED with me, master! Look at this! I've mastered the most powerful Qilin relic of them all! Or the relic has mastered YOU! Now hand it back over at once! Actually, why don't you just shut up? I am SO sick of your nagging! That is ENOUGH, Wu Kong! Shut up! Shut up, shut up, shut up, SHUUUUUUUT UUUP! Look! His appearance is changing! Wu Kong... Oh no... I am no longer the weak "Wu Kong" you knew. I am a great sealer now, the equal of the very heavens themselves! And my name is... ...QITIAN DASHENG! What in the blue hell is goin' on here?! Some of us are tryin' to sleeeee... Uh oh. Everyone, look out! Is that Wu Kong?! What happened to him?! He has been consumed by the power of the Jin Gu Er. I fear I have no choice but to use the Hong Hulu. You are going to trap him inside it?! It is impossible for the Hong Hulu to seal away the power of the Jin Gu Er. However...it can also be used like THIS! O power universal, hear my decree! Eternal coffin, shatter all boundaries and reveal infinity itself! It's a tear into the otherworld! No... No! I'm being pulled in! What's going to happen to him in there?! Be it the space between worlds or no, it will likely not be enough to hold in check the power of the Jin Gu Er. Which means what, exactly? Use small words, maybe—it's late and I'm tired. He will be fine. However, such is the power of the Jin Gu Er that he could return to this world at any time. Oh, that's freakin' GREAT, man! What the heck do we do now?! We reclaim the relic from Wu Kong. And that will return him to normal? In all likelihood, yes. That said, he is not likely to surrender it willingly. So we just beat it outta him, right? Yeah, I've danced to this tune before. Sometimes ya just gotta show these kids yer strength and be done with it. Do not be overly reckless, Ranzal! He may be Wu Kong, but right now he has the power of the Jin Gu Er. And his knowledge regarding Qilin relics allows him to draw out its power—thus making him even deadlier than the fiend we battled before. But we're not going to abandon him. Right, everybody? Right! Let's go knock some sense into this bozo before he gets himself hurt. Thank you for your aid, everyone. He may be a bungling pupil, but he is MY bungling pupil, and he is...important to me. Yes. And you can tell him so yourself. All right, everyone! Let's do this!
