Friends to the Rescue Korean International Springboard, Mak, Arthur - 15 O nce upon a time, there were aliens who were the worst enemies from another planet. They believed that the most intelligent being on earth was Tripitaka. So they decided to go and steal Tripitaka’s amazing knowledge which was creating powerful weapons. On earth, Tripitaka kept cruising on his journey, alongside his three powerful protectors, Sun Wukong, Piggsy and Sandy. Suddenly, they felt something that was really near to them. They saw a flying saucer. Sun Wu Kong shouted, “Hey, what is that? What do they want from us?”. Piggsy who was observing everything replied, “Let’s wait and see!”. Sandy started to reply to Sun Wukong and Piggsy, ”Guys, I have a bad feeling about this!”. Tripitaka said loudly to his protectors, “We better get out here now!”. They tried to get out of there immediately, but it was too late. The aliens attacked Tripitaka, tortured him and he fainted. Only by using special chemical combination they could steal his powerful knowledge. They talked to each other with their evil laugh, “Hahahaha, bingo! We finally stole his precious knowledge. Let’s get back to our planet.” Now the aliens went back to their planet in the speed of light. Piggsy and Sandy asked Sun Wukong, “What are we going to do, captain? They stole the knowledge from our master! We can’t let these guys get away.” This gave Sun Wu Kong a special idea and reply, “I think we need to call the others for help!” Back to the aliens ‘evil plans, with Tripitaka‘s knowledge they could easily take over the universe. They became unstoppable. They started with taking over the earth. They then took the next planet but suddenly the three protectors of Tripitaka appeared. The protectors brought other gods for back-up. All the gods with the three protectors defeated the evil aliens with their powerful cosmic powers. Sun Wu Kong flew straight forward to save their master and said, “Don’t worry, I’m coming for you!” They restored Tripitaka‘s knowledge. Peace on earth was restored. Then they continued their journey. Tripitaka started to think, “There will be more evil ones on Earth who would want to get their hands on my knowledge.” He told his protectors about his thoughts. They replied to Tripitaka, “Who knows, maybe? We will keep and protect you, because we will always by your side, master.”
