Chapter 1: I Am The Monkey King

{Just want to clarify that my understanding of Sun Wukong is only basic so don't come at me for the mistakes I make since this is still a fan fic}

-

In a large dark cave that seemed to be underground, a loud shout could be heard echoing throughout the place.

"Buddha you bastard!!!, I'll make you pay for this!", yelled a humanoid monkey who was being chained under a massive mountain that reached the skies itself.

This mountain is known as the 5 elements mountain and the humanoid monkey that is chained under the mountain is actually The Legendary Monkey King, Sun Wukong.

The reason why he's in this situation is because he rebelled against the heavens and was sent down to the mortal plane by Buddha himself for the crimes he committed.

"Damn it!. That fucking bastard lied to me!", I yelled with raging emotions such as anger and hate, causing the entire mountain to tremble.

Yet that was all it did, before more of my power was drained out of me because of the shackles that bastard placed on me.

I kept shouting and shouting, hoping for someone to hear me. It felt like years had passed or even centuries, as I'm still here chained under this bloody mountain.

Just as I was about to take a rest from the daily routine of shouting, a large circle with weird symbols suddenly appeared on the floor below me.

Not long after, it started to shine so bright that I closed my eyes before reopening them not long after, only to find a white void all around me.

"What the hell!?, Buddha!!, is this another one of your bullshit!!!", I yelled as I finally took my first step since the day of my imprisonment.

"You are a feisty one aren't you?", a being filled with power and authority said behind me as I turned around to face the source of this voice.

When I caught the sight of the being who spoke, I found him to have a strange appearance with his bald head, big ears and white pupils that made it look like he was blind, while wearing the same robes of the mortals who praise that bastard Buddha.

"Who the fuck are you!?", I demanded while glaring at him, preparing to fight this weird looking man.

"That's quite rude of you, don't you think", he said as I suddenly felt a pressure more heavier than the 5 elements mountain itself descend upon me, as I fell onto all four of my limbs trying to not lose consciousness.

"I-I'll k-kill you", I muttered while trying to get back on my feet.

I could tell that he's only below Buddha, The Three Pure Ones, Jade Emperor, Erlang Shen and myself during my peak in terms of power. But with my current strength being below even the weakest god from the heavenly palace, it puts me in a very shitty position.

"Now let's act like civilised beings Sir Wukong", he told me in a calm voice before all the pressure on me disappeared.

Yet instead of acting the way he wanted me too. I launched myself off the floor towards the bald guy while aiming my punch at his ugly face.

When my punch was only a few centimetres away from connecting with his nose, he swiftly stopped my punch with a finger before flicking me away to what felt like a couple dozens of miles.

"*Cough, *Cough. Damnit, I'm gonna-", I abruptly stopped talking when a strong force suddenly pulls me back towards where I originally was, as it left me levitating in the air while being only a few metres away from the bald man.

"Sigh, let's start this again shall we. My name is Yamamoto and I'm here to give you the chance of leaving the 5 elements mountain", he said.

"Like I'll believe you!, all you gods are the same. Lying too me as if I'm just some dumb monkey!!", I replied while struggling in the air, trying to escape his grasp.

"Sigh, we're not going to get anywhere at this rate", he muttered before walking towards me as he than placed his hand onto my forehead.

"Don't touch me!!!", I screamed.

"This is gonna hurt. Even for you", the man said as I felt something invade my mind.

"Aaaagh!!!", I scream in pain and agony as multiple memories that didn't belong to me breach my mind as it showed me a whole new world that even I didn't know existed.

What I saw was a tournament filled with both humans and gods. And it seems to me that the humans are fighting against the gods for their survival.

I find it stupid at first. I mean, gods are gods for a reason. Humans were designed in a way to never oppose gods, let alone fight them.

And then it clicked. Wasn't I just like them?, Wasn't I just a weak little monkey, wanting to become stronger than the gods themselves too. After some deep thoughts, I came to an understanding.

I still thought that these humans were stupid. Yet I couldn't bring myself to scoff at them for that. Instead, a warm feeling formed inside my heart, hoping that these humans survive and win this event.

But after what felt like hours, I finally returned to the white void, as I'm sitting at a wooden table with the weird looking man on the other end.

"What the hell was all of that!", I demanded him in an overbearing tone. I don't care if he's much more stronger than me. I have fought many beings far more powerful than me in order to get where I am today.

And I'm not!, going to start acting like a weakling in front of this egg head. I would've killed him a thousand times over for the way he treated me.

"Still as rude as ever. But that's fine, as long as your not causing trouble", he replied in his same calm voice as ever.

"Tch", I spit on the ground, not caring to show any respect.

"Sigh, What I showed you is a world not of our verse", he said.

"What are you saying old man. And what's up with that weakling who claims himself to be Buddha. Though I hate Buddha's guts for what he did to me, it still doesn't mean I'll allow any weakling to take upon his name, for it also insults me as well", I said in an angry tone.

The reason why I find it insulting is because if any being were to find out that I, The Great Monkey King, went against a fake Buddha who can't even qualify to be a lowly soldier in the heavenly palace. They will mock me for eternity as my reputation as The Great Sage Equal To Heaven, will then change into The Weak Monkey Of Stupidity. And I'm not going to allow that to happen.

"You really are short tempered as they say. But anyways, to answer your question, this world is apart of a verse called 'anime', and has no interaction with our verse. As for the self-proclaimed Buddha you saw, there are many other beings who proclaim themselves as the gods you know or the gods from other verses. There are even some based of you", He explained to me.

"So they're just a bunch of phoney's?", I question since it sounds like they are just a bunch of weaklings who copy others.

"Yes and no. In this 'anime' verse, there are beings even more powerful than the gods in the heavenly palace. Even you during your peak could lose to a small handful of beings out there. But of course, if you've achieved Nirvana, than it would be a completely different story", he stated.

"Hmph, if that's the case, then I'll just beat them all up and become the strongest being there…", I arrogantly said. I mean what's stopping me. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, and that's how it'll be for as long as I exist.

"…And besides. How come you are able to help me escape this imprisonment made by Buddha himself?", I questioned since even his power is not enough to do such a thing.

"That's simple. I asked 2 comrades of mine from both the DC verse and Anime to help me get you out of here. It took a toll on our bodies though", he answered my question without holding anything back.

"Hmm. Last question", I ask in a less arrogant tone.

"Hohoho. Go ahead and ask away", he replied, seemingly happy for some reason.

"Why me. I don't even know you. And by the way you dress, I would think that you're the type to worship beings like Buddha himself instead of a demon like me", I tell him since I find it hard to believe a stranger would help me.

"Hehehe, that my friend is a secret you will soon know hohoho", he laughed which made me want to punch him in the face even more.

"Shut up!, no one's your friend you elephant ears. Just hurry up and take me to this place already. It's Better than being stuck here with you", I said in an impatient tone.

"Hohoho, so eager to leave already. Well if that's what you want", he replied before his eyes started to glow as I felt my head get dizzy.

"W-wait!!, what about my Ruyi Jingu Bang!", I yelled.

If there is one thing I consider my treasure and friend, it would be my very own staff.

"Hahaha, no need to worry about that. You will eventually find it on your journey. Now farewell!", he said in a joyful voice and a smile before I could say anything as I disappeared without a trace.

Back in the white void where the bald man with big ears was, an unknown being suddenly appeared.

"Is that him?", asked the being who just arrived.

"Indeed. So let us watch him and see if he can solve our problems", the bald man said before opening up a rift.

"Sure. Let's see if he will become strong enough to solve this case just like you prophesied he will", the unknown being muttered before both him and the bald man went inside the rift and left the white void.
