Hurricane struck the battle ship heading for Xia Kou, soldiers on board went demented looking for coverage. The girls decided to disguise themselves hobo-like to avoid been caught.
"Watch it! You stepped on my toe!" Lady Sun exclaimed grabbing a muscular man who just discourteously lunged by, some signs of rivalry arose there, and the next thing she knew, she got her stomach punched and was thrown off onto the deck, a few bruises formed on her knees and arm joints, she sobs a little, then let out a boisterous cry, causing people meters away to glimpse.
She continues to sob, not realizing the guys whispering things about her. Quickly out of the sea of conscripts pops out Da, totally soaked, she immediately rushed over, covering SSX's mouths with her rugged clothe and dragged the princess towards a deserted supply depository. Out of nowhere Xiao caught up to them, her dizziness cause her to bump into several men.
" Let go of me!" SSX struggled in a mumbled voice.
" Are you crazy???" Da yelled in a whispered voice, unleashing her deadly grip, " You could've gotten us killed! You just love attention don't you?? Those men nearly saw through you with that girlish weep!"
At the time, girls are forbidden to participate in battle, anyone caught breaking the rules will be sent directly to the scaffold.
Xiao walked in, uncontrollably threw up on the floor, grossing them out.
" Er!! I can't stand this anymore!! The horrid condition's giving me a fever! Let's go find my brother and Zhou Yu!" Sun Shang Xiang said breaking her voice.
Xiao wiped her mouth and started shouting. " You're the one who wanted to progress project S.O.Y (save our Yu) secretly! Now see who's chickening out! I doubt that we can even find them in this turmoil!"
" Xiao's right, under this condition, we'll get trampled to death, there's two more days left, I guess with proper care, we can survive the trip." said Da, the only person here that's still sane.
" This better make him notice me! I don't want to get tortured for nothing!" Xiao yelled, getting huddled up with Da and SSX.
Da comforted her sister, they made a fire for warmth. However, it only lasted for 10 minutes after the wind blew it off.
The next two days seemed like hell, rats appeared to scuff the girls' barefoot, grasshoppers hopped around and caused Da to faint, no one knew C.P.U, so she was left unconscious for a whole day. When they finally got there, 200 troops already K.O-ed.

" Sergeant! Has Ce defeated Gan XingBa yet?" Zhou Yu yelled, he barely could keep his eyes open in the freezing rain, his Red Hare steed suddenly went out of control propelling towards the river.
Yu quickly pull the leash, the stallion heaved, kicked the rear bodyguards to stumble. It began fidgeting it's hind leg, attempting to throw Zhou Yu off. However the politician held onto the leash, it heaved again, more vertically and striving than the last, and caused Zhou Yu to fall landing on his butt.
Mud stained his robe, he provoked, and stood up from the pile of mud.
" Could this get any worse??" he questioned madly clinching his fists.
Event!: Sun Ce troop morale lowers!
Zhou Yu looked up from the red link.
" Man!" he shouted, grabbing an unoccupied charger, and mounted on.
" Troops! Head west! We must aid Lord Sun Ce!" he yelled, hastening his horse.
Thousands of soldiers followed, the advancing force overcame Su Fei's man, the baffled strategist of Huang Zu unmanageably fled with the force.
*************************************************************************
" Umm..I feel a little lightheaded.." Sun Ce mumbled as he took another hit of Gan Ning's killer musou. As he looked down, there was the corpse of his bodyguard, the blood sank like water into the yellowish soil.
He looked up, there was Gan Ning charging towards him, he quickly blocked, the pirate dashed, causing Ce to drop his overlord, then another one of his bodyguard has been killed by Gan Ning's man.
He couldn't take this anymore longer, he stood straight, picked up his weapons, waited for Gan Ning to attack again.
Apparently Ning fell for the trick and attacked head on, Sun Ce quickly did his true musou, it thrashed Ning's stomach and caused his nose to bleed, just as Gan Ning held up his bloody nose.
Sun Ce did five combos and finished it with a sixth charge, tonfas alternatively knocked Ning's life bar to yellow, the affects of his ice jade froze him in a huge block of ice. Ce took a deep breath, and fourth combo-ed Ning. The affect went off, Gan fell to the ground.
Currently Ce only has a tiny bit of life left, he peeked around, no chicken or meat buns, falling to his knees, covering his arm wound, a shadow bestow upon him, he looked up, the pirate's got the musou going round and round, almost finishing it's course, he headed towards Sun Ce.
Ce defended himself by doing head over heeled guard, both are now stuck in a weapon deadlock. Ce tried his best, the result ended in a draw, a soldier popped behind Ce, almost taking a shot, but cut off by Zhou Yu's ancient sword.
" Man! You scared the shit out of me!" Sun Ce yelled, however delighted to see his sworn brother fighting by his side.
Yu grinned, " Hey! We can do a double musou! Come on! Let's finish off the pirate!!" Yu yelled back
Sun Ce nodded, " In three!" he counted, both shook the ground with their killer move, Ning came to conscious and blocked Sun Ce, but Zhou Yu attacked from behind, he got thrown off to the shores with red life.
Just as Yu prepared to do a charge, Su Fei came in front of Gan Ning, Yu stopped his advance.
" Gan Ning is a warrior without equal, please let him serve Wu!" He exclaimed.
Gan Ning looked at Su Fei, ' He has been a father to me, defending my pride in front of Huang Zu's despicable ways. Now he's pleading Wu to spare my life..'
" Su Fei, you..."
" Spare your stubbornness young one, Huang Zu does not treat you as the warrior that you truly is, serve Wu, and may you find the right leader to affirm your life to." Su Fei said.
" But...." Gan Ning spoke attempting to reason.
" No more buts, you are now Huang Zu's enemy," he said, he stood up, yelled across the whole battle field, " Soldiers of Huang Zu! Gan XingBa has defected to Wu! We are outnumbered! Let us retreat back to the ship!" he blandly patted on Gan Ning's shoulder, " Take care."
Then he slowly walked away.
Yu's body guard immediately pursued him, however Yu commanded him to forgo it.
He looked at Gan Ning, of course he was glad that he's out of Huang Zu's dark little dungeon, however exceedingly gloom to loose a brother like Su Fei.
Yu sighed, he offered a hand to Gan Ning. " Gan XingBa, Welcome to Wu."
Gan Ning stare at the hand, wishing to glance at Su Fei one last time, sadly he already disappeared into the fog.
He let out a deep lament, then grabbed onto Zhou Yu's hand. Yu pulled him up, he looked at Sun Ce.
" Goatee boy there!" Gan Ning called.
Sun Ce perked up his ears, no one dared to call him that except his cherished kins.
" You've put up a good fight, I haven't had a spar like that ever since my dad died, I hope I didn't hurt you too much!"
Sun Ce snorted, catching an eye from Zhou Yu, he raised a chuckle.
" Wu's filled with warriors like me, you'll definitely find life very challenging there."
The trio the stooges, female there's the Qiaos and Lady Sun, with each other they never felt lone. Male counts the duos, pretty boy and little conqueror, together their friendship quakes once in a while, now companionship blooms, the pirate joins the journey, together their friendship overrules all.
**************************************************************************
Chakrams retreating, Sun Shang Xiang just finished off one of Huang Zu's officers, she smiled proudly.
" First time battling! Already a pro!" she shouted, jumping up and down, she kept on advancing, catching up to Xiao Qiao.
Xiao threw her fans to knock Zhang Hu off his Whirlwind , the warrior of Huang Zu stood unconsciously, he looked at Xiao, realizing it was a woman, he simply got back onto the horse, Xiao angered, and did an air charged, he fell towards the ground, then painfully stood again.
" Woman or no woman, she has a death wish messing with the great Zhang Hu!" he yelled, just as he proclaimed his indication, Xiao already began slashing him with her Qiao Grace, the man blocked, but Xiao jumped behind him for a rear assault, finally, she finished him off with a death jade charge. Zhang Hu has been eliminated, as she skipped to acclaim, Da Qiao ran by.
" Xiao! Lord Ce and Lord Yu's coming! Hide!"
Xiao looked behind, a view of Sun Ce's steed appeared from the fog, she gasped, and quickly followed her sister.
They hid behind ship boarder, Da nervously searched for Sun Shang Xiang, she was practically worrying to death, until Xiao patted her on the shoulder, Da turned to look at her sister, Xiao pointed at the cliff where SSX was trying to get some experience points from Huang Zu.
" Psst! Sun!" Da quietly yelled, the tension was getting stronger and stronger as someone advanced towards her.
" SUN!" Xiao yelled, alarming a few soldiers, SSX noticed and looked at the sisters, they told her to hide in a mumbled voice, SSX didn't quite comprehend, she whispered back," What?!".
A soldier took the opportunity and attempted to slash her from behind, fortunately at the time Gan Ning was doing a musou and accidentally knock the soldier out cold.
Sun Shang Xiang felt a cold wind rushing by her, she appallingly turned around, staring at the man that just saved her.
Gan Ning, him and his perverted ways, greeted in a flirty way, " Hiya!".
" Gan Ning of the Bells.." Sun Shang Xiang whispered in terror, her eyes widening in fright.
Gan Ning grinned, raising his Sea Master to adjust his position, surprisingly did not the girl didn't show any attraction, she reacted oppressively .
' Spiky hair, chain of bells, serpent tattoos, it's him, the man who killed General Ling Cao.. "
SSX continued staring at the pirate, eyes full of fear.
' The disastrous pirate who dared to slaughter anyone that stood in his way...'
Knowing that her amateur skills will surely send her to the other world, she backed off.
'Causing bloody massacres where ever he go..'
-----Flashback ----
It was a hot summer day, the 8 year old Sun Shang Xiang was journeying north to visit a family friend with her brother Sun Ce.
" I'm hungry, can we stop for a morsel? Please?" the infant spoke puppy eyeing Ce.
The fifteen year old Ce brought no minions along with him, it was to test his responsibility.
" Okay, you stay right here, don't leave, I'll be right back!" Ce said patting SSX on the head, her big brown eyes blinked, a sweet smile popped up, " Okay! Hurry back brother Ce!"
Ce pulled over the carriage near the hillside, then he jumped off the carriage and ran towards the busy market.
The infant sat on the bench playing with her newly bought earrings. Suddenly, a small voice creaked, for curiosity she lifted the curtains, there she sees a puppy barking at her.
SSX leaped off the carriage to pet the canine, as she held it up, she noticed something, her little hands are now stained by blood, then she looked closely, the puppy's legs are bleeding, an awful groan sounded beside her, she turned to see, and the image hunted her entire childhood.
It was a man who crawl up the hill, seemingly a merchant, his head bled, the pure red-black liquid cover his left eye, he reached out to SSX, his hand appeared completely crimson (Yeah, you get the point! Don't want to describe it!)
He whispered to her, "The ringing pirates.... they.. are... coming.."
------Endflashback------
As she recalled her childhood trauma, she backed off more and more, now she's near the very edge of the cliff, one more step, she'll be giving her life to the deep black forest.
Gan Ning looked at her weirdly, then immediately realized her position, he came up to aid, but SSX trembled in fear, and that step has been walked, she immediately fell off the cliff.
There however SSX didn't show much anxiety, she grabbed onto a worn tree branch, it seemed like a quite safe stance until Gan Ning tried to offered some help, SSX let loose her hang, the depth was more than 100 meters deep, thus making it seem like the end, though, Gan Ning grabbed her hands.
That was it, too much fright result in dreadful effects, she lost it, screaming like it was the end of the world.
" Ah!!!!!!!!!"
*************************************************************************
Zhou Yu and Sun Ce fought not far from where they are, SSX's scream was easily heard by many.
" Did you just hear that??" Ce asked, turning his horse around.
" Yeah, it sounded like a lady's shriek."
" It sounded like my sister!!"
" What? Lady Sun?" Zhou Yu questioned as he stopped fighting, remaining quite for a minute, "I don't think so, she's in the palace frolicking with the Qiaos. "
" I'm pretty sure that it was her voice!" Ce yelled pointing at their location.
" Maybe it was Huang Zu's squeal, come on, let's finish these soldiers!" said Zhou Yu, he irrelevantly began fighting again.
" I'm going to check it out!" Sun Ce said, pulling the leash, the horse heaved and began heading towards Huang Zu's ship.
" Ce!! Are you crazy??" Yu yelled, he wasn't going to stay in place while getting ditched, he reclaimed a steed and followed Sun Ce.
**************************************************************************
" Hold on! I'll pull you up!" Gan Ning yelled to Sun Shang Xiang, as he tried to yank her up, then realized that she's struggling to get loose from his grip.
" What are you doing?" Ning yelled, then received a pinch.
" Ahh! Stop that! Do you want to die??"
" I rather fall to death than let you touch me!!!" SSX yelled, Gan Ning cocked an eyebrow.
" What are you talking about??" Ning replied in confusion, then his face got slapped. He turned around to see Da Qiao, abruptly she pulled out a match and got ready to set his pants on fire, he received some burn, and let out a tormenting yelp.
" Ow!!!!!" an object gave his upper arm a cut, he turned left to see Xiao Qiao hold her fan, she bent down calling out to SSX.
" Grab my hand!!" she yelled, reaching out to SSX, she nodded. Xiao's arms was a bit out of her reach, so she decided to used Gan Ning's hand as a ladder to shorten the length, she grabbed on, Xiao quickly pulled her up, leaving Gan Ning flat on ground.
The pirate raised his head, staring at the sisters, then at SSX, she crouch to level with him, Gan Ning, who is still confused about the whole thing, simply grinned, and the next thing he knew, a huge hand marked swollen on his face.
Sun Ce arrived, the first thing he saw was his beloved Da, some cheesy thoughts appeared in his head.
' Da, you're so perfect, the way you light that match, and setting Gan Ning's pants on fire, Da... Wha???'
Getting free from his daydream, he immediately bellowed out.
" Why are you guys here???" He spoke, now realizing his sister and Xiao.
The three exchanged looks at each other, they're in deep trouble now. SSX tried to run, but then Sun Ce caught her by the ear.
" Stop! Stop!! You're making my ears larger!! I'm going to tell daddy!!" SSX yelled, tiptoeing to reduce the pain.
" You three are in so much trouble!! It's fortunate that you've got the emperor's exceptionelle custody! Shang Xiang! Dad's spoiling you too much! You should be given a month of grounding!" Ce yelled, part trying to be a big brother, part trying to remain his cool in front of Da.
SSX yelled, she asked Ce to loosen his hold, but Ce brought up more.
" And what are you guys doing with officer Gan Ning? I'll have you know that you can get imprisoned for tormenting an ally in battle!"
The girls stared at Gan Ning.
"ALLY??" the girls questioned each other, quite embarrassed from their misunderstanding.
" Are you okay? Officer Gan? I hope my sister and her friends didn't give you any trouble." Sun Ce asked.
Gan got up from the dusted ground, " Oh! I'm fine, just some burns on my butt, no biggie, it's no trouble, your sister's quite cute." he said openly.
" How am I suppose to know that the bloody pirate defected!" Sun Shang Xiang yelled, Sun Ce brought her higher, now her feet are completely off the ground.
" Ah!!! Spare my life dear brother!"
Xiao pushed Da foreword, telling her to persuade Ce, Da fidgeted around, " But I don't want to!" she exclaimed whispering.
SSX's clamoring got louder, they all looked at her in desperate pain. Fortunately Zhou Yu arrived at the moment, he simply laughed at the situation.
" Lady Sun! Looks like you ticked off your brother again!"
Both Xiao and Da melted when they saw the pretty boy mounted off the horse.
" Help me! Yu-kun! Please!!" Sun Shang Xiang yelled, begging for mercy.
" Alright!" then Zhou Yu came to Sun Ce as he brought up bunch of literature, and moral ways of Confucius, Sun Ce didn't really understand it. However, his strange ways tells him to remains his cool, so he passed by pretending that he understood, and let go of his naughty sister.
Sun Shang Xiang heavily dropped on the ground, then she rubbed her ear.
" Thank you Yu-kun!" then a hug on the way, Zhou Yu however avoid it for his own weird clarifications.
Gan Ning stared at the five of them, quite a weird family indeed, he now have doubts about surviving in the Wu house, he doesn't want to be violated by the three.

"Watch it! You stepped on my toe!" Lady Sun exclaimed grabbing a muscular man who just discourteously lunged by, some signs of rivalry arose there, and the next thing she knew, she got her stomach punched and was thrown off onto the deck, a few bruises formed on her knees and arm joints, she sobs a little, then let out a boisterous cry, causing people meters away to glimpse.
She continues to sob, not realizing the guys whispering things about her. Quickly out of the sea of conscripts pops out Da, totally soaked, she immediately rushed over, covering SSX's mouths with her rugged clothe and dragged the princess towards a deserted supply depository. Out of nowhere Xiao caught up to them, her dizziness cause her to bump into several men.
" Let go of me!" SSX struggled in a mumbled voice.
" Are you crazy???" Da yelled in a whispered voice, unleashing her deadly grip, " You could've gotten us killed! You just love attention don't you?? Those men nearly saw through you with that girlish weep!"
At the time, girls are forbidden to participate in battle, anyone caught breaking the rules will be sent directly to the scaffold.
Xiao walked in, uncontrollably threw up on the floor, grossing them out.
" Er!! I can't stand this anymore!! The horrid condition's giving me a fever! Let's go find my brother and Zhou Yu!" Sun Shang Xiang said breaking her voice.
Xiao wiped her mouth and started shouting. " You're the one who wanted to progress project S.O.Y (save our Yu) secretly! Now see who's chickening out! I doubt that we can even find them in this turmoil!"
" Xiao's right, under this condition, we'll get trampled to death, there's two more days left, I guess with proper care, we can survive the trip." said Da, the only person here that's still sane.
" This better make him notice me! I don't want to get tortured for nothing!" Xiao yelled, getting huddled up with Da and SSX.
Da comforted her sister, they made a fire for warmth. However, it only lasted for 10 minutes after the wind blew it off.
The next two days seemed like hell, rats appeared to scuff the girls' barefoot, grasshoppers hopped around and caused Da to faint, no one knew C.P.U, so she was left unconscious for a whole day. When they finally got there, 200 troops already K.O-ed.

' Da, you're so perfect, the way you light that match, and setting Gan Ning's pants on fire, Da... Wha???'
Getting free from his daydream, he immediately bellowed out.
" Why are you guys here???" He spoke, now realizing his sister and Xiao.
The three exchanged looks at each other, they're in deep trouble now. SSX tried to run, but then Sun Ce caught her by the ear.
" Stop! Stop!! You're making my ears larger!! I'm going to tell daddy!!" SSX yelled, tiptoeing to reduce the pain.
" You three are in so much trouble!! It's fortunate that you've got the emperor's exceptionelle custody! Shang Xiang! Dad's spoiling you too much! You should be given a month of grounding!" Ce yelled, part trying to be a big brother, part trying to remain his cool in front of Da.
SSX yelled, she asked Ce to loosen his hold, but Ce brought up more.
" And what are you guys doing with officer Gan Ning? I'll have you know that you can get imprisoned for tormenting an ally in battle!"
The girls stared at Gan Ning.
"ALLY??" the girls questioned each other, quite embarrassed from their misunderstanding.
" Are you okay? Officer Gan? I hope my sister and her friends didn't give you any trouble." Sun Ce asked.
Gan got up from the dusted ground, " Oh! I'm fine, just some burns on my butt, no biggie, it's no trouble, your sister's quite cute." he said openly.
" How am I suppose to know that the bloody pirate defected!" Sun Shang Xiang yelled, Sun Ce brought her higher, now her feet are completely off the ground.
" Ah!!! Spare my life dear brother!"
Xiao pushed Da foreword, telling her to persuade Ce, Da fidgeted around, " But I don't want to!" she exclaimed whispering.
SSX's clamoring got louder, they all looked at her in desperate pain. Fortunately Zhou Yu arrived at the moment, he simply laughed at the situation.
" Lady Sun! Looks like you ticked off your brother again!"
Both Xiao and Da melted when they saw the pretty boy mounted off the horse.
" Help me! Yu-kun! Please!!" Sun Shang Xiang yelled, begging for mercy.
" Alright!" then Zhou Yu came to Sun Ce as he brought up bunch of literature, and moral ways of Confucius, Sun Ce didn't really understand it. However, his strange ways tells him to remains his cool, so he passed by pretending that he understood, and let go of his naughty sister.
Sun Shang Xiang heavily dropped on the ground, then she rubbed her ear.
" Thank you Yu-kun!" then a hug on the way, Zhou Yu however avoid it for his own weird clarifications.
Gan Ning stared at the five of them, quite a weird family indeed, he now have doubts about surviving in the Wu house, he doesn't want to be violated by the three.
