Led by Vaisravane, one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers arrived at the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits and surrounded Monkey’s Cave of the Water Curtain. They carried thousands of yellow battle flags upon which was written: JADE EMPEROR BRINGS PEACE! 

	But the Monkey King was ready.  Ten thousand monkeys were fanned out in front of his palace under a red and gold flag upon which was written: 
MAGNIFICENT MONKEY KING, GREATEST OF ALL!

	A shrill trumpet sounded through the air.  Monkey appeared, dressed for battle.  He wore a golden vest, a yellow cap with a golden band, and a pair of cloud-stepping boots.  In his paw was his magic staff.
