Two sides of the same coin

Hello everyone! This is the story I wrote for the Lego Monkie Kid Fanzine that was published very recently! If you'd like to check it out, you can do so here.

=====

Sighing, MK walks through the entrance to the museum, holding the need to complain about how boring this is, especially knowing he should be fighting Monkey King. Maybe even winning!

But, of course, Monkey King just happened to be sick the same day a new season of his show drops on Notflix, so he can’t train MK, giving him the task of searching for your inner reason to fight looking to the past, bud.

MK was confused at first, but Monkey King recommended the museum, and so here he is: he might as well try to enjoy it.

He decides to go towards the technology section, checking out different machines and how they evolved through time. He’s checking an old rifle, learning interesting facts about its creation when someone talks to him out of nowhere, making him stiffen.

“Interesting things, aren’t they?”

MK slowly moves his head, finding an old man by his side. The man looks at him, and his face quickly morphs to—

“Macaque.” MK whispers, hands turned into fists. “What are you doing here?”

“Calm down, bud.” Macaque snickers, striding around MK. “I’m not here to pick a fight.”

MK doesn’t drop his guard down, and hears Macaque sigh before speaking again.

“What can I say, I have my moments.” Macaque then stops, giving him a good look. “Why are you here, though? I don’t see you like the type to enjoy things so… immobile.”

“I have my moments.” MK repeats mockingly, and then starts to walk away. Macaque follows close behind, much to his dismay.

Macaque grumbles to himself for a while, when he suddenly laughs, teasing MK.  “Oh, don’t tell me Wukong didn’t want to train with you? How sad.”

MK grumbles and walks faster, but Macaque matches his speed in no time.

“Oh, don’t take it as an attack. Wukong does have a tendency to… leave people behind.” When MK looks angry at him, he talks again. “Hey, no shame. He ditched me too, before.”

“It’s not like that.” MK whispers as he crosses his arms. “Monkey King said this is a special training for me to tune with myself.”

Macaque snorts, clearly not believing him. MK tries to focus on the pieces, but of course the monkey by his side decides to continue speaking.

“You know, I really enjoy museums. Help me remind myself of some things.”

MK rolls his eyes. “For example?”

Macaque laughs, but it’s so soft it catches MK off guard. “That’s a secret, bud.”

After that, silence fills the air. MK glances to Macaque, finding him deep in thought, looking down. He speaks again, and MK doesn’t feel any malice from his words.

“The things here tell more than what they appear to at first sight. I suggest you really focus.”

MK glances at him. “What, trying to be my mentor again?”

Macaque shrugs. “Hey, doesn’t hurt to have more than one teacher.”

MK sees Macaque’s body turn into shadows, and before he can do anything he’s gone, like he was never there. MK ponders using his special vision to track him, but he has the gut feeling that it’s okay to leave him go.

Macaque’s words linger on MK’s mind as he continues to walk across the rooms and hallways, eventually reaching an exposition titled “Heroes from the past”. MK enters the display, looking around and seeing amazing tales from different heroes and legends, Monkey King included, that saved so many people and helped make the world a better place.

As MK continues to look at these stories, he can’t help but realize that some of the people defeated in them remind him in certain ways of the villains he deals with constantly: people who think the world deserves to revolve around them, and who hurt anyone who disagrees with them.

It’s something obvious, but since all the stories revolve around the victories against these people, they are all written off as “people who did bad”. But as he can see, no matter how much time passes, bad people keep popping up, and heroes have to step up and deal with them, risking their well-being constantly.

MK knows all these people did the right thing because they wanted, but he can’t help but wonder what would have happened if the bad people they had to fight… didn’t exist. Would they have been heroes as well, just making a good world even better? Would they have lived normal lives with their loved ones?

MK sits in a bench, thinking about these questions. If Monkey King hadn’t choose him as his successor, he would have probably been happy just with his normal life: delivering noodles, hanging with Mei and the others, listening to Tang’s stories and so on.

But…

“Look, dad!”

The sudden scream makes MK jump a bit. He looks to the far end of the room, where he sees a young girl accompanied by his father. Both of them are looking at a showcase filled with different items, which seem to be toys.

“Oh, this one looks like the one you have at home, right?”

“Yeah!” The girl excitedly moves her head up and down, pointing to another one. “And this one looks like the gift you and daddy gave me on my birthday!”

“It does look like it.” The father says, picking up his daughter from the ground and sitting her on his shoulders. “I’m sure this kid also had parents who loved them very much.”

The two leave, and MK approaches the showcase, checking out the different toys: wooden horses, worn out dolls and other tiny objects fill the space, each with a description of where it was found.

MK is hit, then, with another realization: if bad people will keep popping up, good people do as well. He thinks about how all the heroes could have chosen to not do the right thing, and yet… they did.

A warmness fills his heart thinking about his friends: Mei, Tang, Pigsy, and Sandy. They decide to help him when he needs help, even when things seem dire, and that helps him help others in return.

MK ponders if the heroes of the past realized this, too. If someone like Monkey King once thought about not caring. He thinks about Macaque’s words, and if this is what he meant.

In the end, MK leaves the museum a while later. He knows life will bring him many challenges, but he knows he’ll strive to do the right thing and protect those he holds dear to his heart.
