Splitting a river deep in the Land of Rivers sits a massive temple of solid gold which resides within a mysterious fog. The architecture is old and smooth, something about it is reminiscent of fairy tails of extravagant castles where kings and princesses reside. The land surrounding it vibrant with energy even the water seeming to have a blue tint as it holds some of the energy in the area.

While the hunter's best guess would have kept him within the land of Moon, unforeseen circumstances had ended up leading him along the path of a bigger beast into the heart of the Land of Rivers. To the location of the Temple of Sun, although a gaping hole seemed to have punctured the entryway leaving it open to nature.

Another long journey led me across an ocean? Somehow I wandered from an island on the other side of the world, across the several seas and into the small land of river which I had explored top to bottom several times over. This time however it led me back to my home in the land of river near a golden temple. I didn't bring too much with me this time. My three swords, my harness gems, my armor and all it's armor systems and gadgets. My sun seal and my black sun seal on my body.

I walked into the area scanning the area for anything suspicious. My helmet was closed as I breathed slowly through my gas mask trying to figure out what I was doing here.

[Madame Loki]

As they arrived at their destination Loki sighed a bit to herself. "Yay... another adventure to some mystical land of mumbo jumbo. Just once i'd like an adventure through a forest, with just regular people." Loki said, as she placed her hands on her hip. This whole mystical stuff had grown rather old hat at this point. She lived in a city filled with ancient and powerful creatures. All of which probably at some point lived places just like this. "Well... you're the hunter... lead the way. Let's get this over with." Loki could already feel that shenanigans were afoot, as the creature managed to cross the ocean. That made little sense to her, she wouldn't be surprised, if this was the work of another god, or false deity of some sort.

It seemed that was the only kind of attention that she and Shiki were getting nowadays. She wrapped her arms around Shiki's and rested her head on his shoulder as she waited for him to do his thing, this was already rather tedious to her, and she'd rather be at home with her little angels.

With the wealth of knowledge available to the two gods it was obvious what they were tracking, wasn't quite what they were tracking. Before leaving the Land of Moon the tracks shifted to something unrecognizable as ice spread out from the area which created a temporary bridge to the mainland. Likewise as it made land the tracks changed once more and a path of devastation was wrought before them in a path into the Land of Rivers, these tracks however were readable as those belonging to a Thunder Behemoth.

This path of carnage was what lead them to the golden temple that stands before them. Through knowledge of Chakra and Divine, the two gods would be able to recognize and discern the architecture of the building as one belonging to the Monkey King. Many stories have spread wide and far about the king's menagerie of strange and wondrous creatures and now that the two gods were looking upon his temple.

It seemed what they were tracking belonged to him.

[Deleted]

I paused for a moment as I looked at the massive golden temple who's history escaped me. I paused for a moment rethinking my life. "Why are we here?" I asked rather deliriously as I apparently fell out of some sort of haze. My legs felt like they had ached something rather painfully. As if I had suddenly walked over 9000 thousand miles without having any control over myself at all. Here I was, lost, directionless and with no idea what the hell I was even supposed to be doing here.

[Madame Loki]

"From the looks of it... it seems that we have followed the creature, to the menagerie of the Monkey King. Apparently thee Land of Rivers, is a prominent Vacation Spot, for skilled Godkillers." Loki poked Shiki in the side of the face as she continued, "And here I thought you were being original." It was a joke obviously. She let out a sigh, as it seemed it was exactly like she thought it was, a lot of the same. She wasn't really in the mood for tracking through the Monkey Kings slave encampment, so she decided to take a slightly different approach this time. After all it was going to be coming to a head eventually anyway, why not just cut to the chase?

"Monkey king!!!!! You Have Guests!!!! Son Goku!!! Sun Wokong Sweetie!!!!! Come Greet US!! Don't be rude!!!" Loki would repeat this in every possible language that he could have possibly spoken, that was available to her. If that did not work. She'd pout, and give it a little bit of thought as to what she could say next... "Hmmm... this one may be a bit risky... but... ah well... who cares." She cleared her throat and then shouted,

"We represent the Jade emperor!!! We need to talk!!!" she again said this in every language that she spoke to see if any of them would catch his attention. All the while she had a goofy smile on her face. This shouldn't be to bad really, the Monkey King was a bit of a prankster himself, surely he wouldn't get too hung up on a joke, right? regardless this was the best way to see if they couldn't just cut to the chase. If the Monkey was here, than surely he'd be able to hear Loki Shouting out over this place, the echoes were sure to carry her voice a great deal.

[Wolf of the Falls]

Within the temple's large entryway plants of every kind decorated the edges accompanied with waterfalls flowing from openings above the plants that served to water their tree beds. flowers of all kinds and of colors the two gods had never seen before. The witch goddesses voice would ring through out the golden hall which would lead to a large chamber with multiple branches going through out the building.

However, the witch was successful as a light breeze blew around the couple.

"Sun Wukong, Son Goku is my cousin." Spoke a smooth and rather amused voice as the Monkey King himself stepped past them and towards the central chamber. Seeming to have appeared from the aether but in truth his speed was paramount.

"However, I doubt that crabby old bastard wants anything to do with me again." Sun responded with a chuckle as he turned to stand before the two gods roughly 5 meters ahead. His appearance was what one would assume from one with the Title of Monkey King, many of his features monkey-like as well as white fur covering the majority of his body, a prehensile tail, and thumbs on his feet. Bright red almost fire-like eyes looked upon the couple amused as a golden circlet sat upon his head with two red feathers streaked back over his head while golden chain mail adorned his torso. Other bits of clothing and armor also covered his form but none quite as eye catching.

"So to what do I owe the pleasure of meeting two fantastically powered and well-informed individuals such as yourselves?" Sun inquired as he reached up plucking what looked like a gold sewing needle from behind his ear fidgeting with it while looking between the two.

I paused for a moment. This was all just bizarre. "I have no idea what I'm doing here or how I got here." I said actually confused at the state of affairs. "I'm more concerned about how you seem to know who I am however." A sense of uneasy paranoia was starting to build up. Nothing was making sense. This person, this place, this all seemed so unreal. This was the first time I've ever heard of a monkey king, let alone any sort of famous monster killing deity. People like this guy and myself hardly ever get along. I'd want to keep my contributions to a minimum to avoid whatever plan my wife had.

[That Worked?]

"Huh... that actually worked?" Loki strugged as the Monkey King made his presence known, and Shiki still seemed to be in a bit of a daze, "You need to stop drinking some much of your own supply then." Loki joked, implying that Shiki was just drunk. She then turned her attention back over to the Monkey king as he asked what brought them here. Loki still had her arms latched around Shiki's as she took her left one off and placed it on her hip. She raised an eyebrow and then said,

"If I had to give it a name, I'd say... poor home training brought us here." Loki said in an accusatory tone. "It seems one of your pets found it's way into my backyard as it were, and killed a few people. We tracked the assailant here." She lookked around at the large temple that they were in and then sighed, "I can only assume it's one of yours, since it lead us straight to you little exotic Monster Garden thingy. It started out as a Amarok, crossed the sea on an ice bridge and then turned into a Behemoth, once it hit the shore. Something so... odd, surely you know what it is. We are here to put it down. Or to assure that it never makes it way to any of our places of residence in the near future. I suppose which method depends entirely on your cooperation."

"Oh, I don't know you. I can smell your power and only those on the level of divinity may find this place." Sun explained to the raijin politely, although as the witch goddess expressed that he needed to stop drinking Sun would laugh openly with a grin.

"So that's your poison. I have some specially made alcohol here if you'd like to try it, made specially from the Jade Emperor's peaches." Sun declared proudly seeming to have found great pleasure in finding a fellow brewmaster. However the Monkey King would tilt his head when the witch goddess explained the situation. Part way through a look of realization dawned on his face before he rubbed the back of his head.

"Oh. So that's what happened. Xianlong got out and he loves exploring the world and meeting other forms of wildlife. I have already put him to rest and he won't wake up for the next 300 years. May I ask the circumstances of the killing? Xianlong wouldn't typically attack for no reason." Sun's demeanor would be genuinely apologetic and curious given that he saw himself as a sort of shepherd for those he protects. Likewise he was prepared to make reparations for the lose of life. If the life was worth it.

Divinity. Another god. Great. "Wasn't like there was a witness around to speak about it. The person is dead, the creature has killed a human and furthermore it seems to have caused catastrophic geographic issues. It apparently made a 9000 mile ice bridge across the entire ocean. Effectively making all forms of shipping and travel by sea impossible until the massive blocks of ice are removed."

[Pretty Pretty Princess!!]

Loki sighed when she heard the Wukong's explanation and Shiki's reply. She could already see that her husband was getting into one of his moods. Although he had more then enough reason to be upset this time around, especially when you consider that he tended to put Humans first in most situations. "Like my Husband said, the only witness was the one that killed him, this Xialong. I did not have to opportunity to view the past events. But the death of this individual, is hardly the only damage that it has done."

An ice bridge running down the center of the ocean was not a simple thing. It could easily be responsible for the sinking of countless ships, before it inevitability melted away. Rather the beast was now asleep or not, or if it meant no harm, was hardly the issue, as it still seemed to cause a great deal of it, even if it's accidentally. "I don't speak for my Husband, but certainly for me, I'd say you need to keep a closer eye on your pets. If it wants to go out for a walk, fine, but you need to be there to pull the leash, and scoop it's damn poop, Wukong, especially if it's taking a shit on someone else's lawn. I don't think that's asking too much."

"Catastrophe, right. Well then if you will give me a moment" Sun spoke as he bowed before the two and vanished as another breeze blew over their forms. Approximately 23 seconds would pass before he would reappear before them his feet wet and chunk of ice in the shape of a cigarette hanging from his lips, that same breeze accompanying his return. However the truly awkward thing was the body hanging off his shoulder. "Now then the ice thing is fixed."

"I believe this is the man that was killed?" Sun inquired ignoring the rude tone in both their voices as they found the man he laid on the floor to indeed be the corpse they had investigated.

After confirming, he went over to one of the peach trees lining the entryway and plucking one before also pulling a hair from his chin. With a surgeon's accuracy he would slide the hair into the peach before a faint orange shimmer enveloped it and it would transform into a bottle of clear orange liquid. Once it was complete he would crouch beside the corpse and tilt it over his lips draining the bottle. After setting the glass down he would hold out his golden sewing needle and a moment later a blue glowing flame would flicker at its tip before Sun placed it over his heart and pushed it in.

"And now we wait, he should be fine in a few moments." The Monkey King declared amused as he wiped the needle off on the man's clothes. "So besides the ice and the body, anything else I can help with friends?"

[Deleted]

[The White Wolf]

"Yeah. We need to figure out if this animal hurt anyone else. Secondly we need to ensure this never happens again with any of your pets." Seemed to be the easiest solution I thought to myself. It wasn't like I was so struggling for a contract that I'd kill the animal just because someone asked me to. I had a bit more luxury in not being pressed for money. How this monkey was able to make over 90000 miles of thick ice seemingly disappear was alarming. I didn't take his word that the task was actually completed do to the sheer absurdity of how much changing the land scape would need to under go.

This time Sun's eye twitched as he heard animal and the needle would waver faintly when he reached pets.

"You are mistaken. All who live here are my friends and are capable of more thought than most of those that roam the wilds. Xianlong has only ever killed in defense and this would be the first huma-" Sun spoke smoothly keeping his voice level before coughing erupted from the man who returned to the living.

"GET OFF! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!... Wait... Where am I? Where's the Amarok I killed? That bitch's pelt and the pups were supposed to set me up for life!" The man cried out in shock before realizing he was no longer where he had died, Sun however glared at the man as he panicked. The Monkey King reached up to his shoulder pulling another hair.

"You got your poacher back. If you don't mind, I'm going to go collect the motherless pups." Sun stated before vanishing with another breeze at his back. This time however he was gone for 29 seconds before reappearing, his lower body damp from the ocean, although now a gold and orange cape hung from his left shoulder and an egg in his left hand. Sun would wave at Shiki and Loki before removing the fabric and moving a bit further to the larger central chamber. Once inside he would wave the cape which enlarged greatly in the flutters of fabric before falling to the ground and revealing three Amarok pups playing among each other while a massive male Amarok laid on the floor eating a large chunk of meat fit for its Gargantuan size.

"The big guy isn't part of the family from what I can smell but he's sure impressive isn't he?" Sun asked looking back at the two with a grin on his face, the poacher simply dirt on the floor. With the Amaroks content Sun would turn back to them with a massive egg glimmering with a rainbow pattern. "I found this too, no idea whats in it but its really pretty."

"You stupid fool! That's the egg of a quetzalcoatl, they only appear once every few centuries... I could buy a country with that..." The poacher yelled openly as he stared at the egg. However Sun just glanced at him and a complete lack of interest showed on his face before he looked back to the two.

I raised an eyebrow. "You're telling me this whelp of a man traveled to the land of river, killed a fully grown Amarok den mother, brought back the pelt of a colossal animal 9000 miles across the sea. Then... this other Amarok killed him and walked back across 9000 miles across a sea bridge?" I was skeptical to say the least. A lot of this wasn't exactly adding up. My mind couldn't help but wonder if I was being told the whole truth here. This seemed so contrived. Like the subjects speaking all kept trying to confirm the same strange narrative. That the sudden and drastic changes in geography and the walking across water simply made sense... It wasn't genjutsu... I was sure of it. I'd scan around for other forms of energy just to make sure.

[Madame Loki]

[Ergh... this is dumb.]

Loki looked on as she saw all of this unfurl, and she was getting annoyed rather quickly. While she didn't share the same concerns as her husband, because she didn't care, there was something else that was irritating her about this whole thing. As the poacher began to speak again, Loki simple extended her hand out towards the man, and Tenkai barrier appeared around him, "Shut up... everybody... just shut up. This is so stupid." She began to walk forward towards Wukong and as she did so her hand started to slowly close. As it did so the Tenkai barrier that was surrounding he man began to shrink slowly at Loki's command. She stood in front of Wukong and then said,

"Your friend killed a shit bag, apparently the dumbest shit bag that's every walked the earth, who shouts out the illegal things he's done to anyone who will hear. Whooptie Freaking Doo, what does it all mean Wukong?" Loki asked not looking for an answer, as she continued, "It doesn't mean shit. It still killed someone. You know your friend, but we don't, and we don't know you. There's no reason for us to believe a damn thing that comes out of your mouth. Your friend killed some one and created a 9000 mile ice bridge in the middle of the ocean. And what do we ask? Make sure he doesn't do something like that again. Even if you're not going to follow through... all you had to say was sure why not? Only every 300 years right. Then we'd be gone out of your hair, only to return 300 years from now when you don't follow through, and it kills some other asshole. Hell, all three of us might even be dead by then, so who the hell would care? Hell maybe you need us to stop by every 300 years, so you can have more friends you lonely bastard."

Loki put her free hand up to her forehead, and let out a sigh, it should have been obvious at this point that she wasn't really mad of combative at the moment just irritated, "Men... don't do anything but make things more complicated than they should be." Loki pointed at Shiki, "Paranoid Idiot..." Then she pointed at Wukong, "Lazy Ass Idiot... Xianlong, oblivious Idiot!!." She then pointed at the poacher who's Tenkai barrier was getting rather snug for him, bbut showed no signs of stopping it's shrinking. "Piece of Epic Shit Idiot... you can die in a fire, you piece of shit!...Shut up!!" She would say at the man before he could actually speak anything in response if he was going to speak at all.

All of this could have been a simple in and out that had turned into a stand off between two alpha males... it was annoying. "If we didn't need your baby juice... you men would have no purpose.... ergh!!" Loki finished as she let out one last annoyed grunt. She then began to smile as she finished her venting, "Now what's this about a Quetzalcoatl egg?" Loki yet to grab the egg from Wukong. If she was allowed she scan over the egg with her Sharigan to get if there were any signs of life within. It was a Creature steeped in chakra. There should be a rather immense chakra signature coming from it, if it was alive, even more so if it was approaching it's hatching time. It was odd to see such a thing with it's mother nearby, and could pose trouble as Quetzalcoatl were nasty evil little creatures if left without a positive influence.

"Where's the mother, she will not be pleased, and could cause untold devastation in search of this egg? Quetzalcoatl, lean towards Evil, and will kill without remorse in search of their young. So where did you get this egg?" She asked the Man as the Tenkai continued to shrink.

"No." Sun would state bluntly as Shiki questioned the story before shaking his head, though that was when the witch yelled for everyone to stop talking. As she did so and sealed the poacher in a bubble Sun rose an eyebrow watching curiously half paying attention to the woman as he got some delight out of watching the man slowly become smaller. As Loki continued on and on he found quite amusing, or maybe refreshing seeing a powerful woman speak her mind. Even when she called him lazy he would look off for a moment before nodding as her assessment was accurate. Though he had a grin on his face seeing her berate and squash the poacher further and that was enough.

"Deal, it won't happen again." Sun stated just as she finished and approached him looking over the egg. He held it out for her as her eyes shifted red and she could see the virtual nova of rainbow-like color radiating from the egg. A moment later as she inquired to where Sun had found it the Monkey King took a moment to think of the path he had traveled before snapping his fingers. "It was on a mountain due south of here, I could smell its power and went to collect it on my way back. Though I don't believe you need worry about a mother, there was no other scent trace for miles around it for years, the sky even seemed to be devoid of birds for the same distance."

Sun curiously looked at the egg with her not sure what a Quetzalcoatl was due to his origin. Although suddenly he had an idea and would smile lightly picking the egg back up if Loki didn't do something. "I have an idea, if you both wouldn't mind humoring me."

"None of this is adding up." None of the details made sense and no new details were being offered. But from what it sounded like this guy was about to pass some chore onto us. It was ultimately up to the wife.

"So, since I've never been here before and most likely won't be for a long time. Would both of you be willing to fight and show me your skills? You both have immense power and I'd be ecstatic to see what you can do." Sun requested respectfully looking at them both with a grin. The Monkey King seemed to get excited at the prospect of seeing powerful warriors display their prowess and hoped they would agree as he idly flipped a gold sewing needle between his fingers like some may roll a coin.

"No holds barred, I'll take care of you both if you get injured." Sun reassured as he went over to the peach tree once more and picking a few more while the pups laid down for a nap and the larger Amarok watched while eating.
