Master Monkey is available, yes.
We were temporarily controlling him for now until other players joined, so he's yours for the taking.
To kind of give you a brief recap and catch you up on what's transpired, basically, Lord Shen (who survived his encounter with Po) and Tai Lung arrived in the Valley of Peace and reported to Master Shifu and the Furious Five that a new threat is rising throughout China in the form of shadow demons that possess others (including corpses) but can be defeated via intense physical combat. They've all agreed to combine their forces for now and head to Gongmen City, as the demons were seen most frequently in that area. They also met another warrior in the valley, Makoto, who told them quite a bit of background info on the demons, as they destroyed his home.
They're about to enter a cave that passes under some mountains to try and bypass the snow covered peaks in order to reach the city, but the cave has fallen into disuse thanks to monsters reportedly living within it, so they're getting ready for any trouble they might encounter within. So that's basically the story so far.
