I know it took me a long time to update, but I couldn't think of where to start! Sorry!
"How long have we been doing this?" Adrea asked.
"About an hour." Rena replied.
"Sora!" Adrea yelled up the stairs, "Would you kindly go through the gate!"
"I'm gonna get to that world without going through the gate!" Sora yelled back.
"Why do I even bother?" Adrea said outloud.
Sora had been trying for the past hour to get to the next world. But there was a barrier in the way, so Sora had chosen to break the barrier rather then go through the gate.
"Come on." Adrea said, walking up the stairs.
Rena followed and sat in one of the chairs next to Sora, while Adrea stood next to him.
"Sora, hold still." Adrea said.
Adrea lifted her right leg and kicked Sora's knee. Sora yelped in pain, then he burst into flames.
"Ow!" Sora yelled. "Put it out!"
"Only if you go through the gate!" Adrea answered.
"OK! OK!" Sora yelled, "Just put out the fire!"
Rena used an ice spell and Sora's foot was stuck to the floor. Sora tried to pull it out of the ice, but it wouldn't come free.
"Shall I-?" Adrea began to ask.
"NO!" Sora excliamed, "I can do it before we land!"
The group walked through the forest. They had landed in a world called, 'Land of the Dragons'. The came to a clearing and saw a young man about to be attacked by a heartless!
"A Heartless?" Donald asked.
"Let's get the jump on 'im!" Sora whispered.
Sora and Donald ran out and scared the young man. The 'Heartless' was actually a small, red dragon. The dragon jumped into the man's arms and the both shoke with fear.
"Sora you idiot!" Adrea exclaimed, walking around the bush. "I should set you on fire for scaring that guy!"
"But you won't." Sora snickered.
"Won't I?" Adrea asked.
"I'm sorry." Rena said walking to the young man. "We should have kept an eye on him."
"Um...yeah." the man replied.
"I'm Rena." Rena said, "That's Adrea, the two nitwits are Sora and Donald and thats Goofy over there."
"Mushu!" Sora exclaimed, looking towards the dragon"We missed you!"
"Sora, Donald and Goofy?" the dragon asked, jumpping from the man's arm to Rena shoulder. "Long time no see!"
"You know them?" Rena and the man asked at the same time.
"Yeah, we used kick all sorts of bad guy butt!" the dragon exclaimed, "But I'm pretty sure I don't know you."
"Get any closer to me and I'll freeze you into a dragon ice sculpture." Rena said.
"I'm Mulan...uh..." the man said.
"Ping!" the Mushu exclaimed.
"Mulan Ping?" Donald asked.
"Just Ping." the man said.
'I'm sure of it now, this 'Ping' is a girl named Mulan.' Rena thought.
"You know Mushu?" Sora asked.
"He's one of my family's guardians." Ping replied.
"Gee, we didn't know we were borrowin' someone as important as a family guardian." Goofy said.
"Yeah that right!" Mushu exclaimed, "And that puts you up to your eyeballs in debt to Ping! So guess what, it's pay back time!"
"Mushu." Ping said to the dragon.
"They don't mind." Mushu said.
"Seems fair enough." Sora responded.
"Ping here is going to join the Imperial Army" Mushu said. "Got to go and find the other reqruits over at the training camp outside the forest."
"Would you join us?" Ping asked, "It'll be easier to fit in if I'm with guys like you."
"What do you mean 'fit in'?" Sora asked.
"Uh...nothing don't worry about it." Ping said.
"I bet'cha you're pretending to be a boy aren't ya?" Goofy asked.
Sora and Donald jumpped in surprise, while Rena and Adrea rolled their eyes.
"W-wait a second!" Sora exclaimed.
"You're a girl?" Doanld asked.
"I think it's working." Ping whispered to Mushu.
"I don't know," Mushu said louder. "Those two will fall for anything."
"Hello!" Sora exclaimed, "I'm right here!"
The group walked through the forest and soon came to the egde of the woods. A little ways down the dirt path was a camp. Ping led the way down the hill. Adrea and Rena came next, then Sora, Donald and Goofy.
They walked into the camp and Mushu hid in Ping's armor. Sora and Donald walked into a long line, then they were pushed back by three other men, one in red armor, one in yellow armor and the other in blue armor.
"Hey no cutting!" Sora exclaimed.
The smallest man in the red armor punched Sora, knocking him down. Donald jumpped at the man and the two began to punch at each other. Sora got to his feet and was fist fighting against the two taller men.
Goofy and Ping stood waiting for them to stop, while Adrea and Rena looked at each.
"You want to-?" Adrea asked.
"Sure." Rena replied. "You first."
"First one down loses."
Adrea and Rena turned to the group who were fighting and they jumpped into the battle. Almost at once Rena had the man in red armor down. She pinned him down with one hand and held Sora back with the other.
"Who's side are you on, Rena!" Sora snarled, "I just got slugged!"
"You want more?" the man in red asked.
"Are you talking to me or him?" Rena asked the man.
"I'm talking to which every of you holding me down!"
Rena let the man up and she got to feet, while holding Sora back.
"Now I'll-" the man began, turning around and seeing Rena. "A girl!"
"Sora, Rena!" Adrea exclaimed, "Heartless!"
Rena turned to see at least ten Heartless standing in front of them. She let Sora go and her Keyblade appeared in her hand.
Rena jumpped at one of the Heartless and it faded into away into nothing. She looked around and saw that Ping was having a little trouble with one of the Heartless.
Rena hit the Heartless with an ice chunk, making it fall over itself and Ping managed to finish it off. Sora, Donald and Goofy had taken on three of the Heartless. Adrea was a little farther away, setting fire to any Heartless that came close to her.
The battle was soon over, and Ping had lost some strength during the fight. Rena offered Ping a potion, but she said she already had one.
A tall man black and red armor walked towards them. A gold hilted sword was at his side and he had the expression of a curious child.
"You there," he said to them, "I am Captian Shang."
"Captian!" Ping gasped, standing to attention.
"You three, what are your names?" Shang asked them.
"Sora." Sora said.
"Donald." Donald replied.
"Goofy." Goofy finished.
"You're welcome to join my troop." Shang said, "Your skills are encouraging."
"I am the son of Fa Zhou-" Ping began.
"You should return home." Shang interrupted.
"But that would dishonor my family!" Ping argued.
"You would rather dishonor my troops?" Shang asked.
"If Pings trains hard and does his best," Sora said, "He'll get stronger in no time!"
"Well..."
"Just give us an assignment!" Sora exclaimed, "We'll show you how well we can work together."
"So you want to be tested?" Shang asked, "Our orders are to ambush Shan-Yu's army. They should be coming through the mountain pass."
"We'll smash them!" Donald exclaimed.
"I doubt that." Shang laughed, "You four shall be the advance party. Scout out the mountain for my troops."
"That's it?" Sora asked, turning to Ping. "No problem. Right?"
"R-right." Ping spattered.
"I'll breif you on the details later." Shang said. "Return here when you're ready to depart. Remember that even the smallest of missions can have a great purpose. Stay alert!"
"Yes sir!" Sora, Donald, Goofy and Ping exclaimed.
The four of them walked back towards the forest. Adrea and Rena turned to the captain.
"What are we, chopped liver?" Adrea asked. "We fought too!"
"Yes I know, but-" Shang began.
"Come on, Rena."
"No wait!" Shang exclaimed.
"Yes, Captain?" Adrea asked, turning back to the man.
"I need you two to do something." Shang said. "You've both got better skills then Sora, Donald and Goofy do, so you're perfect for the job."
"What is it?" Rena asked.
"I need some troops to go into the mountains and hold off the attack on the small village near the summit." Shang explained, "With both of your powers, you can stop hopefully Shan-Yu from destroying the village!"
"But-" Rena began looking at Adrea.
"Sure!" Adrea exclaimed, "But we need to keep an eye on those three."
"Don't worry, I'll watch them 'til they get to the village." Shang said. "Good luck and watch out for any ambushes!"
Adrea and Rena turned towards the mountains and walked through the small gate, into a forest of bamboo. They continued along the trail and emerged into a clearing of the forest. A shallow river stood before them, and a cliff over looked the small valley.
To their right was a fence and a gate that led to the Imperial City. Adrea and Rena walked across the river, not bothering to step on the stepping stones.
They came to a canyon, where the path continued around the bend. Adrea and Rena walked along the path, unnoticed by the Heartless that may be lurking there.
They climbed along the mountain trail and soon came to an area where the ground and the air were thick with snow. Adrea cleared the path by melting the snow with her fire, but it didn't last for very long.
Adrea and Rena came to a gate, where beyond the stone wall stood a small village. Rena noticed that none of the villagers, if any, had come out. She figured they had gone to the city, where it'd be safer.
Adrea cleared a large area of snow and sat next to the wall.
"You guard the other gate." Adrea said, "It's closer to the storm so you can build a small wall to protect yourself."
Rena nodded and walked through the village to the other gate. She sat down on the outside of the wall and built up a thick wall of snow. She sat between the two walls and looked up the path to the mountains, waiting for the enemy to attack.
I'll try to update sooner this time!
