DUKE & SUN
So one day mister monkey king is out and about enjoying the relatively little time he has left and then runs into Duke. Now more times than not Sun won't react to anyone's presence. But that guy? That guy brings out the worst in him. Since Duke is really old and really powerful and since Sun is really old and really powerful these two could have met before. Maybe Sun didn't lose to Duke but didn't win either because he's the monkey king and landing a hit on him when he was at full power was really tough even for a full blown god to do. Now that Sun is not as powerful as he once was because he's sacrificing himself for his son to take his role perhaps Duke sees that as an opportunity to settle the score.
But perhaps they have a fight, a nasty one, in a thread where Sun still maintains some of his skills. Maybe Duke, being the smarter of the two, sees that he doesn't need to defeat Sun to win the war. Maybe Wei Sun, his kid, becomes the target. Maybe one of the immortals that were targeting Wei Sun mentioned not by name in his application was actually Duke. This could give Sun more reason to pause his energy siphoning thus jeopardizing his son's future as the new monkey king. Maybe this is the ultimate crossroads between Sun wanting to be selfish and fight Duke with all he has and thinking more about his kid. It could be an outstanding fighting post but a very emotional thread as well.
By fighting as monkey king Sun has to make sure he doesn't lose because if he does the name of the title would be sullied. But at the same time if he fights at full strength he would end up sacrificing precious time that he could be giving to Wei Sun. See the dilemma?
ALBERT & MARINA
Albert has a right arm that is actually an alien symbiote. The arm looks monstrous as well. So, it has a mouth. It talks. Yes, the arm freakin' talks. And when it runs into Marina it feels uneasy. Now keep in mind this arm could flip over a tank with the slightest flick of a wrist. So for this symbiote, named Grex, to be a little disturbed by Marina's presence, almost sensing a murderous intent, there has to be a reason for this. Albert doesn't sense a thing. Grex is trying to convince Albert to confront Marina.
