The Lost Empire
by: Ingrid S.
In the beginning of this movie it all starts like this:
The author of Journey of the West gets kidnapped by these bad guy people. But before that (in the future) this guy named Nick Orton was a Chinese scholar and he got a copy (not the original) of The Journey Of The West and Nick got mad for some odd reason and he tore the book up, and said that he wished that the book never existed. So Nick went to go meet this Chinese lady that knew about the book.
Nick went to this one little restaurant and he saw this Chinese girl walking towards him, but there was this truck going top speed behind her so he rushed to help her.
Nick went to save this girl, but then he found out that the girl was the girl he had to meet at the restaurant.
But then something really weird happened!!!! Clocks started turning back and buildings started to unbuild. The girl took Nick to the place where The Journey Of The West was placed and they saw that the words were started to unwrite. It was all really weird but the girl took Nick into this one room. She asked him if he would trust her. Nick was really freaked out because he didn’t know what was going on, so he openly said that he would trust her.
Then something extraordinary happened and the Chinese girl started to turn into a great beam of light. She told Nick that she was Kuan-yin. Behind Kuan-yin was a beam of light and she went into the beam of light like a door! Before she went she told Nick to come with her and he will be happy.
The room that they were in was filled with statues and when Kuan-yin said that, some of the statues turned to life and started to talk to him and encouraging Nick to go with Kuan-yin. So Nick said what the heck and jumped into the door of light. As Nick jumped through he started to fall. He landed in this weird land, into a different world, a different culture, a different everything. There was something most of all that scared Nick: it was that there were either mortals or immortals.
There Nick met the “real” monkey king. Nick was happy and surprised. Monkey king offered to be Nick’s teacher, but in order to do that Monkey king needed to ask Monkey kings’s teacher. So on their way they met up with Pixy and Sandy. When they got there the place was terrible!!! It was full of weeds and full of just ugly stuff. There was an old man that came out, but he was “really” old!! Kuan-yin joined them and Kuan-yin said what happened to this place? It is a wreck!! The old guy replies, oh i was just in a really bad mood and then as fast as you could say “WOW” the place was as beautiful as can be.
Monkey king’s trainer said that he could train him and he would help too. They stay there for a while and Nick doesn’t catch on very fast, but in time he learns.
As Kuan-yin, Nick, Monkey king, Pixy, and Sandy leave that place and then they come to a cave and they find Chinese stuff there and then all these guys come and attack them and Monkey king defeats them all. Then this big giant comes out and tries to kill Monkey king, but Monkey king takes out a hair and turns them into millions of little monkeys and they attack the big giant .
They leave the place and they go to see what is happening. They reach the place where the book was supposed to be. They got inside the cave and they saw this big giant bottle type thing and searched around it. They saw the author of the book was there in the cave, too. Nick and his crew saw the book and grabbed it, but then the author of the book said no, that is not the real one. I hid the real one inside this bottle type thing.
So monkey king looked inside and he got pulled in and then these bad guys started to say, “we finally got you monkey king!” Monkey king was stuck in this huge bottle type thing and then this big dragon came to kill monkey king. The bad guys said good work to the author of the book and then he said, but wait I thought that this was only going to be a little trick, then you were going to let him go. The bad guys said to the author, you are just so gullible! The author started to cry, for monkey king was his friend.
Finally monkey king killed the dragon and he got out. They took monkey king and his crew, and they took the author to court and wanted to see if kuan-ying could come to live with nick and stuff. But then in the court they sudden
