Rescue.

Autor: Princess Lalaith

¿What would have happened if Shang hadn't stayed with the Fa's to dinner?

Chapter 3.- Miracle

Shang didn't even wait for the smoke and dust to settle down, he returned inside. And after him went Yao, Ling, Chien-Po and Mushu. After them some other soldiers went in to make sure all the Huns were dead.

"This can't be true." Yao murmured in a low voice.

They looked around, everything had been burnt down, destroyed, turned into ashes.

"No...Mulan." Mushu and Shang murmured at the same time.

"It was impossible for her to survive something like this." Ling murmured.

Chien-Po sighed, he wasn't the only one who hadn't lost hope.

'If Mulan survived so much things before, why can't she survive this too? He asked himself.

By then they were walking by what, just about one minute ago, used to be the main garden.

"Mulan..." the three soldiers murmured at once.

"I just wish I could do something for her." Shang murmured.

"Well, you can help me out 'a here." A voice murmured behind them.

The five of them turned around at once. Shang ran to the owner of the voice immediately.

"Mulan!" Shang, Mushu, Yao, Ling and Chien-Po yelled at unison.

It was Mulan, she was alive! She really was!

Shang helped Mulan out of the lake, She was dripping wet, and trembling by the cold she felt. Her wet cloths hug her body in a cold embrace, showing at the same time her well-formed body. Shang immediately took off his coat and covered Mulan with it.

"Thank you." She said.

"What?...How?..." Yao asked.

"Well." Mulan said as they headed outside. "As I was running I remembered in the map I had seen a lake, so if they were attacking with fire, the water would protect me. It was my only chance."

"God, you're really lucky girl, you know that?" Ling said with a smile.

"Yeah, I know it." Mulan said smiling.

Just then, they arrived with the rest of the soldiers, Chi-Fu and the Emperor.

"Your Grace." Mulan said bowing deeply.

"You saved us all, again, Fa Mulan." The Emperor said, bowing a little.

At the moment everyone else got to their knees.

'This is the second time that this happens to me.' Mulan thought, embarrassed for the attention.

"It's been an honor to help, your Highness." Mulan said bowing again and smiling.

Just then all the soldiers started congratulating her. Chi-Fu seemed a little mad, but satisfied. After all, China was safe.

"Pardon me Emperor." Mulan said. "But I think it's my time to leave. I left my home without much explanation, and I'm sure they're worried for me."

"You may leave girl, and the gods bless you." The Emperor said.

Mulan smiled and climbed Khan, Mushu hid in her clothes and left with her.

"Now we shall return you to your palace Your Grace." Shang said approaching the Emperor.

"What a magnificent flower it may be, that one that survived two winters and never loosed her beauty." The Emperor said with his eyes focused on the small figure of Mulan at the distance.

Shang looked at him, confused.

"Do you really plan to let go that girl twice?" The Emperor asked as he left.

Shang was shocked at what he heard.

"Really general." Yao said behind Shang. "I was hoping to see you running behind her."

"Galloping would be better." Ling interrupted. "Seeing that she's on a horse as well."

Shang turned to look at them, his eyes wide. Why did everyone seemed to know about his feelings for Mulan?

"What are you doing still here?" Ling asked pissed.

"For a General, you're too slow." Yao commented.

"But..." Shang started to reply.

"Go now!!" both of his soldiers yelled at once.

Before he could say anything else Chien-Po brought him a horse.

"Do what you believe its better, general." He said.

Finally Shang understood. Without a second thought he climbed on the horse and dashed away. The rest of his friends looked at him happily.

"Hmmm..." The Emperor murmured, looking at the small figure of the general in the distance. "It was about time."

Mulan stopped in a forest, a few miles away from her home town, once there she opened her bag, took a towel, dried herself and put on the blue dress she had packed. She knew if she went on galloping on the wet uniform not only she would call more attention than needed, but she would get sick too. One she was dressed she got on Khan again and rode home.
