Dialogue

Damn, that Xihe thingy is no joke! *pant* It would be dangerous to use Xihe's power further...but I cannot give up. I understand your desire to be kind in this matter—truly I do. But it simply cannot be. It is the duty of a sealer to handle Qilin relics and seal away danger. Duty is no excuse to hurt someone who's done nothing wrong! Unless doing so means averting many potential crises in the future. And I can do naught but give every ounce of myself to fulfilling my mission. Haaaah! Well, THIS is not good. I fear the master intends to unleash the entirety of the Xihe's considerable power. Yeah, she's done playin' games. So what's the plan? All right, master! If you're gonna try to seal my friend up no matter what, then you leave me no choice... Wu Kong, wait! What are you doing with the Jin Gu Er?! Making it so she can't seal Mei Hou Wang no matter WHAT she does. Hah!  ! You broke the thing! ...Can you DO that?! HE B-B-B-BROKE IT?! You FOOL! That was a precious relic wrought and wrangled from the marvels of the Qilin's engineering prowess, and now it's...it's... Well, master? What now? You can't seal Mei Hou Wang away, so what are you gonna do? You child... You feckless, IMPOSSIBLE child... Hmm? What's this black aura? It's gushing up from the Jin Gu Er! Nnngh... Um...Mei Hou Wang? What's wrong, Cleo? He looks to be in pain. Hey, you okay, buddy? You got really— STAY BACK! ...What? That black...whatever it is is heading right for Mei Hou Wang! Gaaaagh! Noooo! What's happening?! Stay back, all of you! Do not approach! ...... Um, buddy? You okay? Yes...because of your actions. I remember now. I remember...everything. What?! Watch out! EVERYBODY DOWN!

Are we all right? Yes, but I just felt an incredible power pass overhead... Holy crap! The mountain! It's completely gone! KYAAAA HA HA HA! I have returned to this world overflowing with power! Uh, Mei Hou Wang? Is that you? What's with your body? It is all thanks to you, Wu Kong. Because you released the last bit of my remaining power from the Jin Gu Er, I have returned to my original form! Your ORIGINAL form? Yes. All has been restored. I remember everything! Every memory of wanting to wipe all of you foul, mewling, mortals from the face of the earth! No! What the heck's gotten into you?! Stand back, Wu Kong. But master, I— I recognize that you have fostered a bond of sorts with Mei Hou Wang. However, this occurred during a period in which he lacked his true memories. With his memory returned, he is another beast entirely. You must accept that the soul you thought you knew is gone. No... She's right, Wu Kong. You need to stay back. Don't tell me YOU'RE gonna fight him now! You saw what he did. How strong he is. If we don't stop him now, he could rain destruction down on everything. Don't worry, my man—we're just gonna tire him out so he can't fight anymore. I don't... Truce, Xuan Zang? Or can we at least put our differences aside until we stop this greater threat? I welcome your aid, for I will not be able to keep his power in check by myself now that he is unchained. Are you deciding which of you dies first? I assure you, it is a meaningless question. FOR YOU WILL ALL DIE NOOOOOW! Get ready, everyone!
