Monkeybones-a crossover au, where MK becomes the adopted son of Soul Eater and Maka Albarn instead of Pigsy and Tang
In this au, MK was born as the biological child of Monkey King Sun Wukong and Demon Warrior Six Eared Macaque, but wasn't actually accepted by his parents or by their monkey subjects. Instead they chose to banish him to the other side of the island where he wouldn't seen or heard from and left to fend for himself. And to make matters even worse they had another child to shower their love and affection towards to instead of MK.
Eventually MK somehow escaped Flower Fruit Mountain and made his way towards a nearby city or village, where he stumbles upon Maka and Soul. Maka and Soul where sent there to uncover mysterious killings of locals and to capture the kishin responsible.
MK discovers that he has both abilities of a meister and weapon just like Maka. Maka and Soul take MK back to Death City to inform Death the Kid and to fully train his abilities.
In the Monkeybones au, animals can also have weapons blood are also be considered as a meister's weapon. Animal weapons are considered to be very rare because if a kishin eats the animal weapons' soul, the kishin would be able to unlock their evolution form (their evolution form would be a much more monstrous version of themselves) and if an animal weapon were to be discovered, the animal weapon would fall under the direct protection of Lord Death aka Kid, himself.
Since Mk is a demon monkey, he too falls under the protection of Lord Kid. Mk is only able to access his meister's powers at the moment, but is able to unlock is weapons blood subconsciously just like his mother Maka.
MK's weapon partners are a pair of pocket sized hamsters named Xiǎo Yún (little cloud) and Xiǎo XīngXīng (little star)
动物武器 (Dòngwù wǔqì)- the chinese version of animal weapon (used Google translate)
小云 and 小星星 (Xiǎo yún and xiǎo xīngxīng)- little cloud and little star
DEATH CITY
In the Monkeybones Au, Death City is either purgatory or the actual afterlife (still trying to decide) or a mythical city that has been lost to the ages.
.Lord Death created the city as a safe haven for lost souls & to train meisters and their weapon partners
.Lord Death actually created the first animal weapon in existence, their name was Chewy
.all Meisters still communicate directly through mirror or any glass surface and "dial" (the Meisters or Weapons would write the numbers on the fogged surface): 42-42-564
.Lord Kid sent MK out on his first mission to investigate the strange imbalance of power from a city in the mortal realm and to capture the corrupted kishin responsible
Playing the Piano
MK has always been a curious monkey eversince he could remember. He never really experienced or seen much while he was stuck (more like trapped,in his opinion) on the island.
After moving in with Maka and Soul, Soul decided to teach MK how to play the piano. It took awhile to even begin to grasp of what a piano was, but in the end MK got an understanding of what a piano is. Soul was surprisingly patient with MK teaching him everything he knew from childhood and their bond grew from there. Soul taught MK how to a melody he created as a child. (The Victor Piano Solo from Corpse Bride)
MK plays the piano when he's feeling very emotional or just in the mood to play. That's how he bonded with his hamsters: Xiao Yun and Xiao XingXing. Xiao Yun would play the keys on the right side and Xiao XingXing on the left with MK playing in the center. (Played Tom and Jerry: Cat Concerto ; Hungarian Rhaposdy No.2) Maka recorded Soul fainting after witnessing such a cute and impressive scene and she sent it to everyone they knew.
It became like an exercising/bonding/outlet tool for them. When MK wasn't playing the piano, he let the hamsters play the piano instead. It was cute watching the two of them playing the keys the way they wanted or from the music sheet (Soul taught MK how to read the music sheet and in turn taught the hamsters as well through trial and error) and to see their cute reactions.
When Xiao Yun and Xiao Xing Xing birthdays came up, MK had custom made pianos for the both of them: hamster sized. The hamsters were very thrilled that they could finally reach key without passing out from exhaustion. They would join in with Soul and MK during family bonding time.
