Monkey Prince chases Pigsy through the sky. He's initially distracted by the pain caused by his headband, but at Pigsy's urging he focusses instead on the thrill of flying. He's eventually able to trick Pigsy by pretending to fall off his cloud and grab the red envelope from his hand. Meanwhile in Gotham Sewers, his parents shoot Golden Horn Penguin with a device designed to remove the demon from him, but it doesn't work and he takes them prisoner. Back on the surface, Pigsy ends the lesson and gives Marcus a mask to protect his identity if he ever reverts to human form. Pigsy heads off to confront two demons who are posing as a hot dog vendor and his cart. Before he kills them, they tell him that their master has gathered an army to invade Earth and his first general has already arisen. Monkey Prince returns to the school and finds Kaya still there, waiting for Rizalino, who she reveals is her brother. She is worried that Monkey Prince is something Marcus summoned to punish Riz, but Monkey Prince tells her that Marcus is just his friend and he has no idea what happened to Riz. Marcus goes looking for Riz and finds him being interrogated by Robin in the football field. Monkey Prince and Robin fight until Marcus tries to block a blow from Robin's staff and it his arm off below the elbow, despite not being sharp. While Robin is distracted by Monkey Prince's severed arm, Marcus frees Riz and escapes, collecting and reattaching his arm as he goes. He delivers Riz to Kaya, who kisses him on the cheek in gratitude. Marcus reverts in front of her, but his identity is hidden by his mask. She impulsively kisses him on the lips and Marcus flies away, laughing with glee. He returns home where Pigsy is waiting for him. Pigsy tells Marcus that the demon known as Golden Horn King has returned, and shows Marcus a video which the Penguin just posted on the internet. Golden Horn Penguin challenges Batman to find and face him by midnight or he will kill the Shugel-Shens.
