*The air grows heavy as MK’s shadow detaches, taunting him with cruel truths about his monstrous nature. Kneeling, MK glitches violently between human and monkey forms, tears streaming down his face. Macaque and Wukong stand frozen in shock, while Sandy and Mei watch in horror, paralyzed by fear. MK pants, his body spasming as Wukong’s attempt to reach him sends the Monkey King flying back. As MK’s eyes blaze gold and he screams in agony, golden energy erupts around him. His shadow laughs hysterically, feeding on the chaos as MK clutches his head, his powers spiraling out of control.*
