Mulan or China

Chapter 2: The Plan For Revenge

In the white, cold, dark mountaintops stood a man on his black horse. He was covered in a black cloak that only reveled his face and hands. The wind blew all around making sound of ghosts cries of those who had died up in the snowy mountains. The man looked to the distance of the way that he would soon be going to. He faced the way towards the palace.

He was a Hun, he was the brother of Shan Yu. His name was Shan Tao. He was younger then his brother, He looked somewhat similar to his brother except that his black hair was tied up in the back and he wasn't as massive as his brother was.

A man came up from behind him, he too was wearing a black cloak. His horse neighed as he approached Shan Tao. Shan Tao turned around to face his comrade. "Any news?" Asked Shan Tao.

"The men and I cleared the one village there is nothing left." Said the one man that went by the name, Hang Lu. He too was one of the not so many remaining Huns that had survived the great avalanche that had killed so many of the Hun's.

"Good, Any sign of the woman warrior in the village?"

"No, we found out that she does not live in this part, she lives in a village south of the palace." Hang Lu said pointing near the direction south of the Palace. Shan Tao nodded knowingly.

"Anything else?"

"This one man told us that she might already be in one of the camps." Hang Lu gave him a evil grin. Shan Tao smiled back and chuckled a bit as he turned his eyes back to the direction of the palace once more.

Both their dark cloaks flapped through the brisk air. They looked in back of them and saw Shan Toa's men on their horses galloping right towards them. It was almost sounded like thunder that swept through the ground as they came closer and closer to Shan Tao and Hang Lu. All at once the men on the horses pulled back on their reins making their horse's pull their heads back and neigh.

Once they all halted one of the man brought down with him a weary middle age man that had been beaten up. The man dropped him right in front of Shan Tao. The man cried in pain as he hit the ground. Shan Tao smiled and dismounted his horse.

As he approached him he took out his long, medal blade and carefully placed it under the mans chin, so he could see his face. The man looked at him and gulped, he breathed heavily in and out. "Who is he?" Demanded Shan Tao.

The man approached him and said, "He clams that he is with the Mongols." Shan Tao looked at the man again and bent down to his level.

"What is your name?"

"Lung Dai"

Shan Tao got closer to him with his blade, Lung still breathing hard gave him a pleading look. "Why are you here?"

"The...the same reason why you are here, to get revenge." He paused for a second, "P...Please, don't kill me." He pleaded to him.

Shan Tao removed the blade slowly and gave Lung a cocky smile as he got up. Placing the sword back to his side he said, "I am here to revenge my brother's and his many men's lives, from the one heroine girl. What about you?"

The man slowly got to his feet clutched his one arm that was full of blood. "My people suffered from their men and powerful canons, we surrendered to them at the end but they stuttered our people. We have come back to take the head of the Emperor and those who surrender we will do the same to them as they did to us." Shan Tao smiled and took his horse's reins into his hand.

"Do you need a horse?" Shan Tao asked.

Lung looked at him confused, "Your going to help me?"

"We are both here to get revenge, If we join forces we can take down all of China and we will both get what we want. So do you want the horse or not?"

Lung smiled. At that second that Shan Tao saw him smile he whistled and a horse came from behind him full of armor. He went straight towards Lung. Lung took his reins and was helped up from one of Shan Tao's men.

Shan Tao mounted his horse and went right by Lung, "Where are your men located now?"

"There up in the mountains near one of the passageways."

"Good, We'll head over there and talk to them."

They made there way to where the Mongols were located in the mountains as they found them they all drew their weapons but no one got hurt, Shan Tao talked to the Mongols and his men. "There will be no surprised attacks till I tell you to." The conversation went on deciding what they were going to do. Shan Tao was going to lead all of them because one he speared the life of Lung and he had greater power then all of them.

It was settled that night, Shan Tao was on his horse and on the mountains looking out in the distance once more. "Sir." Shan Tao looked to see that Hang Lu was walking up to him on his horse, he too stared into the distance. "You think we can trust the Mongols sir?"

"Are you questioning my decision Hang?" He asked giving Hang a stern look in the eyes.

"No, sir. I just heard that Mongols tend to turn their backs."

"Trust me Hang they wont want to turn their backs on me." He paused and looked to the distance. "We will take a few of our men to go to the one camp that is near here. We will not attack but just see if the heroine is really there."

"What if she is sir?"

Shan Tao chuckled evilly and said, "We will kill her so that she is not in our way."
