Ling's P.O.V

What is he going to do to her? I thought with fear. I need to stop him!

"STOP!" I said with horror but Shang didn't listen.

Normal P.O.V

As Shang raised his sword, everyone watched. He lowered his sword rapidly but suddenly stopped. Why? WHAT DOES HE THINK HE'S DOING? Shang thought. It was Ling. He went in front of Shang and stopped his arm before he could kill Mulan. The sword just reached his topknot fabric and cut it in half and his hair was no longer in a bun.

"Ling?!" Shang said with frustration. "GET OUT OF THE WAY!"

"No" Ling replied. Despite Shang's anger, he'd never dream of his captain killing a woman. "What's killing her going to achieve? NOTHING!"

"Why?" Mulan said to Ling.

"Because it's not fair for you to die here. The place where you saved us, all" He replied. Mulan smiled and Ling smiled back but then turned to Shang.

"Move out" Shang said with frustration as he sheathed his sword back into his scabbard.

Everyone started to walk in the direction that Shang was going.

"No Ling, you've disgraced us, you're staying behind too" Shang yelled

Ling face went from normal to pale. He couldn't believe his captain said that to him.

"Thank you" Mulan said with a tear rolling down her cheek.

"You're welcome" Ling said with a joyful smile.

They sat next to each other for the night and chatted a bit. Mulan finally decided it was time.

"I think I should show you someone who helped me do this…" Mulan said.

"What? Who?" Ling replied.

Mulan pulled out Mushu from her saddle bag and showed Ling.

"Ling, this is Mushu, the guardian that helped me get through this" Mulan said with a weak smile.

"I recognise that, snake?" Ling said with confusion.

"Hey dragon, DRAGON not snake, I don't do that tongue thing" Mushu replied showing the 'tongue thing'

Ling and Mulan both laughed.

Shan Yu wasn't dead; he was still alive. He screamed with frustration. Ling and Mulan was shocked and went down to see who it was. They saw who it was and was frightened by the sight. Five soldiers awoke from the scream. How is he still alive? Ling wondered in confusion but the same time with anger. The soldiers noticed Ling and Mulan, but they didn't notice the soldiers.

"Holy crap!" Mulan said.

Shan Yu's soldiers reported him that Ling and Mulan were here and he told them to capture them.
