The Six Elemental Coins
Korean International Springboard , Wai , Kaden - 11
On September 21 st , 1832 at 2:09pm , a monkey was born from a volcano called Kazuki near the Hawaiian Islands . The volcano , which was about the size of The Great Pyramid of Giza , suddenly split open and a baby monkey stretched and climbed out . The monkey ’ s name was Sun WuKong . Sun WuKong grew up in a little house in the Waterfall Cave on Razor Island . Over the next hundred years , he practiced and learned six different skills on his own . He could tell the future , light could shine through his eyes and hurt his enemies , he could fly , he could transform into different animals , and he had super strong strength like The Hulk . Every time he mastered a skill , he would gain an elemental coin , allowing him to use the skill with ease . Sun WuKong earned six elemental coins in total . One day , Sun WuKong met Nicholas the gibbon . They became best friends right away . They played , ate , slept , swam , climbed , walked and lived together every day every year . Through time , Sun WuKong found out that Nicholas knew the same skills he did . Together they had 12 elemental coins . Not far away , the diamond bandits called Jack and Puncher were watching . They wanted to have all of Sun WuKong and Nicholas ’ elemental coins . After watching them for almost a year , finally one day the diamond bandits tiptoed behind Sun WuKong and Nicholas and followed them to their house . Once they entered , large metal gates closed fast like a flash . The metal was so thick that Jack and Puncher couldn ’ t open it no matter how hard they tried . So they gave up and decided to stay at the Waterfall Cave for the night . The next morning , Sun WuKong and Nicholas went out to find some rocks to play Rukshuk . As soon as Jack and Puncher saw that Sun WuKong and Nicholas had left , they sneaked into the cave to search for the coins . They looked for more than two hours until they finally found all of them in Sun WuKong ’ s bedroom . They took all 12 and ran out of sight . Jack quickly tried to use the “ fly ” coin to get away from the cave . But no matter how many times he tried , it didn ’ t work and he couldn ’ t understand why . When Sun WuKong and Nicholas came back , they were furious that their elemental coins had gone without a trace . Sun WuKong and Nicholas muttered some magic words , and the coins suddenly appeared out of thin air and dropped into their hands . Little did Jack and Puncher know , that once the elemental coins are attached to an owner , the bond is exclusive and forever .
