The New Journey to the West
Hong Kong Baptist University Affiliated Secondary and Primary School , Lau , Anson - 9
After Monkey King , Pigsy , Sandy and Tripitaka defeated their target , the bone demon , they continued the journey to the west .
The following day , the gang traveled to a deep forest . They walked for miles , and they were all exhausted . “ When do we get to the end of this forest ?” Pigsy panted . “ Pigsy is right . We are all very tired and hungry .” Sandy agreed . Suddenly , Monkey King jumped up and yelled . “ There ’ s a peach tree ! Why don ’ t we take a rest ?” Everyone agreed . A minute later , they were all under the peach tree , eating peaches and relaxing . As they were enjoying their break , Tripitaka suddenly felt a tingle of pain , and he realized he was going up , and up ! Tripitaka tried to yell for help , but it was no use . In fact , he was pulled by an invisible , tight rope ! All of a sudden , Tripitaka heard a fat , low , drawling hiss ” hissssasasashi ”. A blink of an eye , Tripitaka soon found himself being tangled , and he was trying to struggle out of the rope . Out of the corner of his eye , an enormous snake came out of the shadows . “ Welcome !” The snake drawled . “ This is my cave , and the hissing noise was actually me !” Tripitaka looked around , and realized he was no longer in the fluffy clouds of the sky . Instead , he was locked in a cold , dark place . “ I am a Basilik , the king of serpents .” The snake continued . “ And I ’ m going to eat y- ” Before the snake could say anymore , there was a clicking noise . ‘ Click ’. The demon glanced around , and saw blinking golden lights . “ Ugh ! It ’ s blinding me !” Suddenly , Tripitaka saw Pigsy and Sandy beside him , untying the rope which has been tied around him ! “ You big doofus ! Give up !” It was Monkey King ! Monkey King raised is magic spear , and he pointed directly at the evil demon . “ Noooooo !” cried the snake . But it was too late . The big , hideous demon had transformed into an ordinary , normal baby snake ! Monkey King quickly sent the four of them back to their camp . Tripitaka was very grateful . “ Thank you !” he said .
As they defeated the snake demon , they continued traveling . All of a sudden , Tripitaka and Pigsy tripped over a long vine . As they got up , they were pulled down . And more weirder , they were sinking to the ground ! Desperate , they tried to call for help , but they were already in the middle of nowhere ! “ La , la , la !” sang a dreadful voice . Tripitaka and Pigsy looked around , and saw an ugly but strong looking deer come out . It ’ s red eyes gleaming , saying “ Laaa ! To do list , Tie these creatures up , and kill them , and eat them ! Spatulaaa !” A spark flew out of the demon ’ s eyes . Tripitaka and Pigsy were tied up ! “ Aaah ! Monkey King ! Sandy Help !” Tripitaka shrieked . “ Aaah ! Monkey King ! Sandy ! Help !” The deer mimicked in a baby voice . “ Wait ! Monkey King ? Sandy ?” The demon thought for a moment , then smiled wickedly . “ Just think how sweet if YOUR apprentices come to MY cave and be wannabe heros to save you !” the demon giggled . “ You two stay here ,” it continued . “ I ’ m going to cook up Monkeyister and Piggyback ! Toddles !” With a jeer , a puff of smoke , the demon disappeared . “ Noo !” Tripitaka and Pigsy wailed . Minutes later , there was a loud ‘ crack ’, and Sandy jumped out ! He untied both of them and said , ” You two ! Follow me . There ’ s an invisible hole up there .” In no time , they were back up on the ground ! Even more surprising , the deer demon was lying on the ground , as if it was dead . And standing on top of it , was Monkey King , grinning proudly ! “ Come on , you three get out of here , okay ?” Pigsy said . “ Yes , but including you , you lazy fat idiot !” Monkey King scolded . “ Get out of here before some mental mouth-watering monsters keep track of us !” he added , looking at Tripitaka worriedly .
That night , they camped in the dark . In the middle of the night , while the gang was sleeping , a dark shadow emerged in . It had fangs , just like a vampire . “ Ha , ha , ha , Tripitaka , fat and juicy , I ’ ll eat you , just see , or my name isn ’ t Batcula the Demon !” It was the bat demon ! It was known as the cleverest , sneakiest demon over all ! As the demon tugged his cape , opened its hands , ready to snatch Tripitaka , it had not realized that Tripitaka had three pairs of eyes watching . ‘ Clasp !’ Batcula snapped into attention . It was a blob of light ! Batcula hid under its cloak , and snarled , “ Who ’ s there ?”” Us !” cried Pigsy . Monkey King was holding a lamp , Pigsy was wearing a cross , and Sandy was eating garlic . They had come to save Tripitaka ! “ I command you , Batcula , drop Tripitaka !” Monkey King snarled back . Batcula seemed astonished . “ Oh , it ’ s you , Gorilla .” Monkey King could not control his temper any longer . He raised his spear towards Batcula , and a mist surrounded both of them . When it cleared , there , stood Monkey King , looking pleased , and Batcula , who was turned into dust . They had defeated their demon !
In the end , they made it to the west , and it was a palace Tripitaka wanted to go ! When they settled there , they had a huge feast , Tripitaka even invited them to live there . All was well , each of them had their own power . And together , with friendship , they defeated the demons one by one . But it was not only the power each of them had . It was braveness , kindness and friendship ! This story tells us to work together , like Tripitaka , Pigsy , Sandy and Monkey King . And that is what makes them the most powerful team !
