Disclaimer: I don't own Dynasty Warrior character. I only own my fic and my Cao Lin
Author: I have been thinking about this for awhile and I decide that Zhao Yun will be serving Yuan Shao and Liu Bei will be the ambitious cruel lord and Wen Chou will be the good friend of Zhao Yun and Cao Lin will get married to Liu Bei. (I hate Yuan Shao but I want to do something different and put Yuan Shao to be some good guy not ego maniac).
The Impossible love of the Little Dragon

What Zhao Yun heard was like the fall of his world, how was possible that the girl who he have just fall in love and save her from Qu Yi is the daughter of Wen Chou one of the most powerful general in the north and one of the most trusted generals of Yuan Shao . He feel all this emotions in one big flash frustrated, disappointed, confuse. The only thing that he did was mounting his horse and turn to the camp of Gongsun Zan were he was going to think all what has happen with the battle, the new women that he feel something special for her and to think of an army to join. So he have for now three options join the man he save, keep searching for a lord that care for the people and don't care about fame or glory or join the army that have the most beautiful women that his eyes have ever seen and that mean be a vassal of one of the most annoy Lord in the whole land. So he decides to go to a forest that he saw in his way to the camp to think this over he knew that in the forest he will be calm to think all he want with out distraction.
Zhao Yun: (thinking) "sigh" what should I do?
He was walking in the forest with his head low trying to figure out what will be his decision and he knew that all his decision will be a hard one. When he stops and raise his head he saw one of the most beautiful places he has ever seen.

Shadow: well this is my time to go but I will be watching you to see what will be the choice you will chose farewell my young dragon of Chang San. And with that the mysterious shadow disappear in the mist leaving alone in this magic place the little dragon to think about his decision but he heard the voice of the old man tell him this.
Shadow: Yuan Shao has a soft side and can only be awaken not with power only with the love and the loyalty of a person with great virtue. Then the voice disappears.
Zhao Yun was surprise to heard that Yuan Shao can change his attitude that was hard to believe how can Yuan Shao can change he was one of the most pride, crazy and ego maniac Lord the land ever have. Now he was confused but he decides to sit and think about all that happen and his conversation he has with the old man.
Zhao Yun: "Sigh" well I think is time for me to chose my decision that will change my life forever. He then walks to a nearby tree to sit and to think about his decision.
He fall then to a deep sleep when he wakes up he feel like a new person and the heavy thoughts that he has yesterday night was all gone so he decide is time to go to the camp of Gongsun Zan and tell him his decision. In the camp he sees that all the soldier are preparing to depart to the city he then see a young soldier were is lord Gongsun Zan then the young soldier tell him that he is in the main tent.
Zhao Yun: excuse me soldier but can you tell me were is Lord Gongsun Zan?
Young Soldier: huh oh he is in the main tent with Lord Liu Bei and Guan Jing.
Zhao Yun: thank you now excuses me I will let you finish your work.
Then Zilong bow his head in thanks for the information and walk to the main tent were it was Gongsun Zan. Walking to the main tent he seen two generals one with a long beard and the other with A LOT of muscles but the long beard general stop Zhao Yun to ask him were he was.
Long Beard General: hey young men were you go last night we were waiting for you to tell us about you but you never came.
Zhao Yun: sorry but I was so confuse that I need to think all my problems and need to be alone.
Long Beard General: well don't worry about that and by the way my name is Guan Yu (style name Yunchang) and this right here is my brother Zhang Fei (style name Yìdé). Nice to meet you master ---.
Zhao Yun: oh my name is Zhao Yun (style name Zilong) it was nice to meet to you master Guan Yun and master Zhang Fei. He bows to them and resume his way to the main tent.
Guan Yu: (rubbing his beard)… um.
Zhang Fei: huh? What wrong brother something wrong about the young man?
Guan Yu: no is nothing wrong but it seen that he has been blessed by the heavens and that he is here to do something important I feel that he can be a great ally and great friend but the enemy I don't like to be in that position.
Zhang Fei: huh (thinking about the wine his was going to drink when they get to Ping Yuan) forget about that he only defeat Qu Yi with luck he is a weakling come I want to drink and drink.
Guan Yu: "sigh" you will never change forgetter come we need to prepare the soldier and go to Ping Yuan.
Finally Zhao Yun was in the main tent when he enter he sees Gongsun Zan with Liu Bei talking so he decide to wait for then to stop but when he turn to exit the tent Gongsun Zan turn his head and see Zhao Yun leaving the tent.
Gongsun Zan: hey stop there!
Zhao Yun: huh please continue your conversation I will be back in five minutes.
Liu Bei: oh no come I was going now. Master Gongsun Zan I will go now to Ping Yuan to prepare for the joint attack on Yuan Shao nice to meet you young man my name is Liu Bei (style name Xuándé).
Zhao Yun: my name is Zhao Yun (style name Zilong) nice to meet you to Lord Liu Bei. He bow to Liu Bei and turn to Gongsun Zan.
Liu Bei: well is my time to said good bye master Zhao Yun Lord Gongsun Zan (he bow and left the tent).
Now the only ones in the tent are Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun.
Gongsun Zan: well were to begin I think for saying thank you for saving me yesterday from that bastard. The only thing Zhao Yun did was lower his head
Zhao Yun: "…"
Gongsun Zan: so why you decide to fight for me, to save me?
Zhao Yun: I… I don't know it was that you were fighting for justice to destroy the ambitions of Yuan Shao that I decide to help you but… He didn't know what to said
Gongsun Zan: so you save me because I was fighting for justice (smile) to tell the truth I was fighting to kill him to become the most powerful Lord in the north to feel the joy of my enemy blood in my hand and to serve Lord Liu Bei and dethrone the Han emperor now tell me in your point of view that is justice.
Zhao Yun: NO! That is not justice (Now he was surprise for the revelation of Gongsun Zan)
Gongsun Zan: (laughing) no is not justice is ambitions if you don't have ambition you will never get far in this world of war.
Zhao Yun: maybe what you said is true but--- then Gongsun Zan interrupt the young general.
Gongsun Zan: tell me NOW (with a serious face) will you join me and let me your great strength and have all the thing you want or get the hell out of my camp before I kill you.
Zhao Yun: (with a sad face) I was wrong about you and lord Liu Bei. Then I will go to another lord that is truly virtue and stop you and Liu Bei from your barbaric ambitions farewell lord Gongsun Zan with this ambitions you get a far more tragic end than Dong Zhou. Zilong walk away of the tent leaving a furious Gongsun Zan.
Gongsun Zan: GUARD!
Soldier: (he bow) yes my lord.
Zhao Yun mounted his horse and ride to capital city of the north Ye that was in the hands of Yuan Shao. He decide to stop in a village that was in the path to Ye and rest so he need to pass for the mountain a mountain that was famous for his attack of bandits.
Strong Guy: huh so you want me to kill this guy that will be heading to the mountain?
Mystery Guy: yes and with this kind of gold you will be leaving a rich life for a long time.
Strong Guy: (laughing) well this be my lucky day. Ok I accept the mission rest assure that he will be dead in ten minutes. Now if you excuse me soldier I got a pray to kill.
Soldier: I'm not a soldier I'm a General. Well farewell yellow suck
Strong Guy: grrr (to himself) if I see you I'm going to kill you.
In the mountain
Zhao Yun: finally I'm here I just need to pass this mountain and I will be in Ye. He then begins to gallop but he sees a man standing in the middle blocking his pass.
