It wasn’t long before the other two chosen ones were found. Both Pigsy and Sandy tried to attack Tripitaka, but he now had Monkey to protect him. They both remembered Monkey from his past shenannigans, they also remembered how they had been thrown out of heaven because of the trouble he had caused, so they fought hard. But Monkey was by far the most powerful and cunning of the three and defeated them with ease. Once Tripitaka explained who he was and the nature of his mission they happily joined the group, believing that they would be forgiven and allowed back into heaven, and their holy journey began.
