Chapter 5: Hope is not lost

Mulan looked around her surroundings, Everyone was still on horses galloping towards the Palace, following Chi Fu the whole way. She thought of jumping and running to the forest, but there was to many guys surrounding her to do so. They had been on the horses for what seemed like hours.

Chi Fu stopped and gestured his hands out in front of him and presented the Palace below them. " All right I brought you here, now what about my part of the barging?"

Wolf walked up to him on his horse, he looked at Chi Fu and smiled, " Of course, how could I forget.......you will get what you want." He said looking down at Mulan putting his fingers through Mulan's hair admiring the softness of it. She didn't make a move she did not want to risk it. Wolf turned his attention back to Chi Fu.

" So get on with it kill her!" Chi Fu responded, demanding for the job to get done. Wolf snapped his fingers together and all of his men had their weapons aiming towards Chi Fu.

" Never, ever yell at the Wolf, got that!" He waved his finger back and forth at Chi Fu while talking.

" But.... But.... You said that you were going to kill her!" He said stammering looking at Wolf, who had evil in his eyes, he was cold hearted. Wolf snapped hi fingers one more time and three men got off their horses and got Chi Fu off his brown horse, and tackled him to the ground. Wolf tied Mulan's hands to his stale and gave his horse to one of his man to hold onto.

Mulan Watched in horror as they beat the old scrawny, man on the ground. Wolf stopped the beating by raising his hand in the air. They made way as Wolf came through them and bent down in front of Chi Fu. Chi Fu looked up at him as blood dripped down from his mouth." Sorry, I lied!" Was all Wolf said before Mulan yelled out," Wait don't kill him!" He looked at Mulan and raised and eyebrow.

" Why he's the one that wanted you dead in the first place!" She was silent she didn't like Chi Fu but she didn't him dead even though he wanted her dead, No she wasn't like that. " He will die any ways, he's.....Old and wont be able to live." He looked at Mulan then turned his attention back to Chi Fu. Then by taking the handle part of his sword he knocked Chi Fu out.

Wolf then got back up and went towards Mulan who was on his horse, looking at him with fearful eyes. He got on and looked at the Palace. "All right, we're going to leave Chi Fu there and we'll wait for the back army to come, once they do we attack!"

They cheered as they followed their leader to the forest. There were still a great number of men with him. Mulan looked back and saw the unconscious Chi Fu on the ground, " You're welcome." She said in a quiet whisper. Wolf jerked her head back to face forward. She didn't do any thing about it. She lost everything and everyone that she cared about. It didn't matter to her any more if she died.

Shang was on his horse as were all the other people that came. There was only about fifteen of them that were healthy enough to be able to go. Ho Chi and Mushu were up in the air leading the pack of dragons as they followed Shang and the group towards the direction at which Mulan and the Mongols went. Shang stopped because a sharp pain in his side.

"You all right Captain?" Yao said went towards Shang on his horse.

"Yeah!.....I'm fine." He said as he held his side because of the pain. " I think we should rest." Ling added.

Shang moaned " No... we can't now!" Ho Chi landed in front of them as the other dragons went off somewhere else.

" Shang, are you ok?" Mushu said as he jumped onto Shang's horse's neck.

Shang sighed and kept his head down low. "We need an army, or we'll never make it." Mushu's ears went down and he pointed to Ho Chi above them and said, " But we have Ho Chi and the other dragons which are coming back soon they had to check some other areas out first.." Shang looked up at Mushu,

" Mushu, we need an army."

Suddenly a man on a horse came from behind them, " Shang!" Shang looked it was one of his friends that he had only saw a couple weeks ago. But what was he doing here, even though he was also a captain. " Wei?" " What are you......"

" As soon as I heard the news about the attack my men and I came as fast as we could!" Wei said simply as he looked at Shang and saw that him and a lot of the other men were pretty beaten up. " What happened to you guys why aren't you at doctors getting medical help?"

" They took Mulan, Wei.........." Wei looked up and saw Ho Chi, his eyes widened when he caught site of him. "That's.......a.....a...."

" A dragon." He then pointed above him and said " This is Ho Chi, Mulan found this dragon in the forest not to long ago." Wei looked up once more and saw the dragon looking down at him with his big black eyes and big white teeth.

" Ah....... He won't hurt any one......will he?" Now looking at Shang who nodded to answer his question. Mushu coughed to get Shang's attention, " Oh yeah and this is Mushu, Mulan's guardian." Wei just couldn't believe it. As minuets passed of explaining the whole thing Wei, he began to get comfortable with the both of them.

" So where is your army?" Ling said butting in.

"Oh yeah let me get them." He then whistled to his men. Guys on horses came running out towards them, all in uniforms and red capes. Shang and the others looked in shock. " I have eighty-five guys with me. We're at your service captain. Shang smiled and chuckled a bit.

When they reached the caves they hid all the horses and headed inside. Mulan was tied down to a rock. Wolf came towards her and bent down in front of her, " What do you want from me?" Mulan said moaning, trying to struggle out of the ropes. Wolf stopped her by putting his hand over Mulan's.

She stopped and looked up at him. He didn't smile he just stared at her, "I going to use you to bring the Emperor to me, then I'll see what I'll do with you, but I am not positive that's exactly what my plan is." She looked at him with a question look. " What do you mean?"

"We will attack the palace by force then figure it out by there." He got up and left Mulan there to weep and struggle all she wanted. She wouldn't be able to get out.

" Sir, more men have come, we should attack now!" The one scared face man said as he came up to Wolf.

" How many more men?"

" We got another hundred." Wolf looked at him then Mulan and grinned, " Get everyone ready, We're leaving tonight!"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Shang and now his new army were on there way. Mushu was with Shang this time, while Ho Chi was in the air screeching and roaring the whole way. Then got low to the ground because he saw someone. He landed in front of Chi Fu who was telling it to go away.

Shang saw this and got off his horse to see who it was. " Chi Fu what are you doing here?" He got his sword out and held it out in front of him.

" I was fooled in to believing that they were going to kill but they did'nt, please, you have to help me. " As he began to cry in front of all of them. "Why should we help you? You're the one that left us al there to die!" He said screaming out the obvious. Chi Fu put his head down and sobbed.

" Fine! But if you even go near her, I will kill you or I'll let the dragons eat you." He grinned at Ho Chi who grinned back and looked at Chi Fu and licked his lips. Chi Fu looked at him and nodded at Shang, and went to the horse that he would ride. Ho Chi went up behind him and growled at him then flew off.

They began their journey again. Ho Chi keeping a close watchful eye on Chi Fu to make sure he didn't make a stupid move. Shang once again glanced at the dragons flying above him with speed and grace as they flapped their wings making it sound like a storm with high, strong winds was coming. Ho Chi sniffed the air to see if he could pick up her sent.

" We'll find her, there's no doubt about it." Shang said to his self, trying to stay confident through the whole trip.
