Madison's POV.....
Me and MK were getting trained by Persephone and Monkey King right now but we had to hammer a wall which is very weird, "You know, when we found out we were going to be trained by The Monkey King and Persephone, Great Sages, equal to heaven. We had no idea...that we'd be stuck here hammering walls 12 hours a day!" MK throws the hammer, "Way are we doing this again?" I turn around and see Monkey King on his cloud and Persephone sitting on a plant chair, "Ahhh, so I can make a nice lil' breakfast nook. Get some light in here." MK is super right, "But we're meant to be Monkie and Demon Kids not the Construction Twins! How are wsupposed to do the hero stuff if we don't know the fighting stuff?" I'm backing MK up right now because we need to learn, "Ooohooh. So....you guys want to know the 'fighting stuff, huh?' Wukong?"  Persephone waves the keys around before stopping and looking at Monkey King who slams the staff to the ground and throws it I grab MK and we move out the way before the staff slammed into the wall.
Persephone then gets up from her seat and a handful of plants and leaves appear on her hand before throwing it in the air and another huge hole appears too. So cool! "Huh? Wooahh! Yes! Exactly like that!" We both say begging on our knees, I turn around, "We are ready for some awesome!" "What Maddie said!" MK shots and suddenly I hear laughing and turn around as Persephone and Monkey King laugh, "Look, buds. You guys can't rush this stuff. Um...You'll get there." "You guys just need to practice." They both say, "But this isn't practice!" MK shouts and I nod, "Ugh. We're never going  to you two something you guys don't need to know. Okay?" Persephone said crossing her arms at us.
"Hmm." "Whatever." I mumble, "Okay. Now this priceless ancient mural's not gonna destroy itself. So remember.....Step into the Strike." MK's phone rings and the Caller ID showing Mei, "MK! Maddie! We really need your help." Mei shows a huge shadow monster with one eye and an X on the other side, "A monster attacking the city?" We turn around from Monkey King and Persephone, "That's terrible!" MK hangs up, "Dang. Guess we gotta go do some boring hero stuff instead of...this. Okay. Bye!" I create a portal and we walk into it instantly next to Mei, "What did we miss?" MK asked, "Maddie! MK! What took you guys so long?" Oops, "Sorry! Sorry! Monkey King and Persephone were making us do some boring stuff. That the bad guy?" I ask looking back at the big purple monster.
"Okay be right back!" I say and grab a key from my pocket, looks like Leo, "Star Dress: Leo!" "MK! Maddie! Wait..:." "Here comes Monkie and Demon Ki....Ahhh!" MK shouts since the tail grabbed us and threw him back in the ground, but why not me? "Maddie!" I hear them yell, "Hey! Let me go!" I yell but it brings me closer to its face, "I'm so kicking your butt!" It still doesn't until I turn around and see a Monkey on the roof, "Monkey King?" The Monkey pulls out a purple staff with spikes and spins it a little before pointing it at the shadow monster, causing a huge gust of wind to take it away, "Cool." I look down,  "Oh shoot. Aah!" I know I can't die but I don't wanna fall! I close my eyes, "You can open your eyes." A voice said and I do just that and I'm face to face with another Monkey.
He has black fur, a red scarf, and some yellow and black clothing. The total opposite of Monkey King, "Yes! Monkey King!" I turn to see MK on the rooftop but he falls, "He dead." I mutter and the Monkey was about to walk away, "That was awesome! And I can't thank you enough for saving Maddie! Ooh...This is awkward. You're not Monkey King." The Monkey puts me down and I gotta say it feels like I've seen him before.....a ghost? "I get that a lot. Monkie Kid and Demon Kid, right?" MK gasps, "How did you...." I facepalm, "You staff kinda gives you away, dude. Not just anyone can wield that thing, and besides from telling me your friend's name, she's the only person I've seen with Star Dress since forever." 
"Uh...Sorry. Who are you?" He chuckles, "Macaque. Actually "The uh...Six-Eared Macaque" is , you know, my full name. Well....See you around, Maddie, MK." He was about to walk away before I grab his scarf, mostly because I can't walk in heels, "Wait! Uh...Can you teach us that awesome thing?!" MK nods and gets in front of Macaque again, "Uh...Don't you two already have some mentors? I thought, uh, Monkey King and Persephone were training you guys?" I transform back to normal and let go to stand near MK, "Oh, yeah, yeah. No, they, they are...but um....." I can't figure out what more to say, "But you can never have too many teachers, right? I'm sure Monkey King and Persephone would agree. It's not like they'd want to hold you two back." "Ummmm....." "Yeah. Sure! Yes. They'd totally be cool with it." I finish for both of us.
