The Fall of Heaven Victoria Shanghai Academy, Kong, Louis - 10 T he calm winter wind blew over the clouds of heaven. The heavily guarded castle was atop the cliff. The calmness suddenly changed. The clouds and moon faded away, leaving no trace it was ever there. Suddenly, the castle exploded, leaving the dark portal to Hell awake. The Fire Demons stepped out of the portal and basked in the moonlight. Wu Kong and Sandy arrived at the ruins of the old and worn-down castle. Wu Kong knew what it was, as only one thing could have caused this… The Son of Darkness, Demonic. “Come on!” Wu Kong said as Pigsy and Sandy put down the last demons into a everlasting sleep. Wu Kong jumped into the portal, screaming behind him “Break the PORTAL!” Wu Kong then disappeared into the land of the dead. Pigsy and Sandy carefully picked their weapons up. The portal had a green mist walking around, and they approached. Sandy leaped inside the portal while Pigsy let his rake swing down onto the dark and withered stone just as he disappeared into the depths of Hell. Wu Kong’s staff pulled him off the ground. He pushed the dust off and scrambled towards the walls, just as Sandy and Pigsy’s weapons flew down and the two also landed. “Welcome. Few visit me now, eh.” The old man stepped out of the shadows. His brilliant blue robe billowed behind him and Wu Kong grinned. The old man led the 3 heroes through the dark pathway while Wu Kong and the walls fought for space. “Master Qing! So how life in hell?” Qing didn't answer. He led them all the way to a secluded area, surrounded by mountains guarding the dark castle. “This is as far as I can guide you. Good luck young ones.” Qing left and walked down the mountain path. Wu Kong saw Demonic. “Go! Spread out! We will take no prisoners!” Wu Kong growled. His boots leaped off the cliff and he rocketed towards the castle balcony. Wu Kong’s Miracle Staff flew to his aid and it stabbed at Demonic. “Wu Kong… So childish yet attempting to stop me?” Demonic said sarcastically. The 2 clashed with Staff against blade and battled, aura versus aura. Wu Kong was blasted backwards and into the sky above, crashing into the Great Hall. He reassured himself it was okay as there was no one in Heaven. He slouched down the muddy path. Suddenly, he heard a low scraping sound. “There’s no-one here, they are all fighting the battle in Hell.” Wu Kong glanced around and peeked through the gaps. Then, behind him he glimpsed Demonic.The axe struck down onto where Wu Kong was, just as he rolled to the side and struck Demonic in the back. “Demonic! Aren’t you supposed to be dead?” Wu Kong screamed as he lunged at Demonic. He missed. and the two clashed through the streets of Heaven, dodging and striking. Soon, Heaven was a mess, broken buildings and bodies of returned gods lying if unfortunate enough to be in their path. Just as Wu Kong struck Demonic in the stomach, Demonic teleported behind Wu Kong and struck him with a power blast. Wu Kong tumbled down and landed in a house, crashing onto a villager. Wu Kong rolled to the side and grabbed his Miracle Staff. He charged up a power Buddha had taught him to use. His power made the floor tremble and the clouds move. He raised his staff and a blue aura of a huge ape. He flew up to heaven and slapped Demonic into the main hall. Wu Kong struck Demonic in the face and knocked him down to the lower levels of heaven. Wu Kong blasted him back down into hell just as the gods came out of the hole. Demonic shot down there like a bullet and fell to the ground with a shout of pain. Wu Kong seized his staff and shoved it down there, then retrieving it and returning it to his hand as well as returning to regular form. The gods rolled the gates of hell shut and returned to heaven. As they all were partying, Wu Kong saw through to a person sneaking through the trees above. After he blinked, the figure was gone. The figure grinned as he set the last of the bombs.
