Chapter 2- A battle begins
"Da Qiao!!" Xiao Qiao screamed. Her sister was in danger. And it had to be that wretched man Dong Zhou. It had to be.
"Your sister! We must save her!" The woman said, grabbing strange weapons.
"You mean Da Qiao…she was the other sister, right?" Sun Ce asked the sixteen year old Qiao. Xiao Qiao nodded slowly, unsure of everyone around her. Not even the infantry guards that die when you hit them once (LOL)
"We can't just stand around here for anything. We must save Da Qiao!" Zhou Yu pulled out a sword. But everyone stopped when soldiers wearing purple came barging and running out of the dark forest. Zhou Yu pulled Xiao Qiao into his arms, shielding her. She blushed to see her head near his chest.
I'm so…safe around him…
"We'll beat these guys in one full blow!" Sun Ce chuckled, not scared at all.
"That's my brother!" The lady cheered for her brother, Sun Ce.
"Shang Xiang, get the reinforcements. And mention this to Quan and father; I'll leave some fun for them."
"Yes…" Sun Shang Xiang nodded and ran inside the mansion before anyone could stop her.
"Why have you come?" Zhou Yu prepared his sword. He glared at the soldiers. Some infantry soldiers were scared and held up their spears in defense, begging for mercy already, but the wiser just laughed.
"We've come to capture the youngest Qiao. Xiao Qiao must come and meet Dong Zhou, the most superior in China!" A general replied.
"Well, I don't like strangers appearing at my house. So you're going to pay!" Sun Ce got his tonfas ready and got in a battle position.
"You seem overconfident. You'll retreat like babies once Lord Lu Bu arrives." Another soldier said, bravely.
"We're never going to surrender! And I'm totally not going to see this so-called superior Dong Zhou dude!" Xiao Qiao shouted at all of the violet-clothed soldiers.
"Hush…" Zhou Yu quieted the girl. Hush…hush is all he rewards me with? I was taunting them to leave! Well…I attempted to at least…but he should still give me some respect for once!
"But…don't you know they are going to take me away to see this loser?" Xiao Qiao got out of Zhou Yu's grasp.
"There is no time for an argument, my lady. We must battle these fiendish soldiers."
"I am too, don't you know? I'll use all my might to save my sister!"
"Then, get out of my way! I must slay them for you to do that!"
"How rude of you saying that to a daughter of Qiao Xuan! Seriously, who do you think you are?"
"The person saving you from Lu Bu!" Zhou Yu grabbed Xiao Qiao and pushed her to the ground. A white horse came and a man in huge armor appeared with a giant spear. He used the end of the spear to knock down Zhou Yu, who fell next to Xiao.
"Oh no, are you okay?"
Zhou Yu didn't budge.
"Zhou Yu…Zhou Yu…" Xiao Qiao kept repeating, tears overflowing in her eyes. She wept as Zhou Yu lay there, not moving. Then, a small groan was made from him.
"Z-Zhou Yu…?"
"I told you…I was going to save you from Lu Bu."
"That man was Lu Bu?"
"Never mind that, we must reach your sister before she is kidnapped or extremely hurt…"
"…right…" Xiao Qiao helped Zhou Yu get up from the dewy grass. They looked to see Sun Ce and Shang Xiang, who arrived with the rest of the Sun family and reinforcements, and fought the Dong Zhou soldiers. Lu Bu came back, (injuring unimportant soldiers that no one cared about in the video games), this time with Da Qiao struggling to get free.
"Da Qiao, you're okay!" Xiao Qiao stated to her sister.
"NO I'M NOT OKAY! I'M TIED UP ON THE BACK OF THE HORSE, NOT ON THE SADDLE! DO YOU REALLY THINK I'M OKAY?!"
"I didn't mean it like that…" Xiao pouted.
"Lu Bu, release the Qiao and no one gets hurt!" Sun Ce came up behind the two.
"If I release her you must join my army. If you don't agree with that, this girl will die…"
"Sun Ce, don't give in!" Shang Xiang shouted from the battlefield.
"I have no choice…" Sun Ce went down on his knees and dropped his tonfas to the grass…
