B/C: Sorry the last chapter was so small. I swear when I write the story down it looks much bigger.

Zhou Yu: I like the story even though it may look small at times.

B/C: Yeah Zhou like my short stories.

Zhou Yu: I did not say that.

B/C: But…Master Zhou.

Zhou Yu: You did not defend me, but you did poison Zhuge. Anyways…let the story begin.

Chapter 5- Brother vs. Brother

                The sun rose above the mountains and a new day has come. Bloodstains and dead bodies still lay in the town square. Cao Cao does not care about the people that were killed and would have more killed if he wanted. He began to devise a plan of how he should kill the generals he captured and what to do with all their weapons.

In the Forest…

Sun Ce and Ma Chao continue to run through the forest, but Ma Chao was growing weary from carrying Zhuge Liang. Ma Chao began to slow down.

Ma Chao: "Sun Ce, I must rest for a moment."

Sun Ce: "We have to keep running or Cao Cao's armies will capture us."

Sun Ce notices a figure from far behind Ma Chao and that person was gaining speed.

Sun Ce: "Oh no it's Zhou Yu!!! No time to rest Ma Chao… We have to run!!!

Ma Chao stopped and placed Zhuge Liang on the ground

Ma Chao: "SUN CE!!!"

Sun Ce stops and turns around.

Ma Chao: "I will run no longer. It is better to face the opponent rather than run away from him. Take Zhuge to a doctor… I will handle Zhou Yu."

Sun Ce picks up Zhuge Liang and turns around.

Sun Ce: "Good luck Ma Chao!!!"

Ma Chao: "Thanks… and good luck to you too!!!"

Sun Ce runs away deeper into the forest. Ma Chao readies his spear and waits for Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu notices the enemy has stopped and is ready to fight. He pulls out the sword Cao Cao gave him and begins to run faster. A minute or so later Zhou Yu makes it to Ma Chao.

Zhou Yu: "I am Zhou Yu of Wei, give up or you shall die!!!"

Ma Chao: "I am Ma Chao of Shu, and I shall never give up to the likes of you."

The two fierce warriors stood there staring at one another waiting for the first move to be made. Sweat slowly rolled down Ma Chao's forehead towards his eye… Ma Chao blinked. Zhou Yu turned his sword reflecting the sun's light into Ma Chao's eyes blinding him temporarily. Zhou Yu extended his left arm out in front of him, opened his hand, and shot a fireball at Ma Chao. Ma Chao could not dodge the blast, because he had his eyes closed from the blinding light from Zhou Yu's sword. The fireball struck Ma Chao in the chest and the force of the fireball knocked him back into a tree. A tree limb fell on top of him along with a few other limbs. Ma Chao opened his eyes and saw Zhou Yu shoot a fireball at the tree limbs. The limbs quickly caught on fire. Ma Chao could not breathe or see. Zhou Yu smirked, but Ma Chao broke through the fire and limbs.

Ma Chao: "I won't let you win!"

Zhou Yu laughs

Zhou Yu: "I have already won!"

Sun Ce: "You have not won yet Zhou!!!"

Ma Chao: "No, Sun Ce you must protect Zhuge Liang."

Sun Ce punches Ma Chao in the gut.

Sun Ce: "Don't worry I found a doctor's house by accident. He is being treated as we speak. Oh sorry if I hurt you badly with that punch, it should knock you out in a couple of seconds. I did it for your own good and because I want to take Zhou on."

Ma Chao: "That's fine by me as long as Zhuge Liang is safe. Take him down Sun Ce."

Ma Chao drops his Stallion's Fury and then falls to the ground peacefully sleeping.

Sun Ce: "Don't you worry, I can take him on."

Sun Ce grips his tonfas tightly and prepares for battle.

Sun Ce: "Why are you doing this Zhou?"

Zhou Yu: "To prove my loyalty to my lord, if you really must know."

Sun Ce: "I do not wish to fight you Zhou, but you leave me with no other choice."

Sun Ce gets into his fighting stance.

Zhou Yu: "Well then… PREPARE YOURSELF!!!"

Zhou Yu gets into his fighting stance. Sun Ce rushes towards Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu dodges and sticks out his leg, making Sun Ce trip and fall into mud. Zhou Yu begins to laugh as Sun Ce picks himself up and then slips into the mud again.

Zhou Yu: "You never cease to amaze me Ce."

Zhou Yu starts backing away from Sun Ce as he is getting up.

Zhou Yu: "What are you doing to me? Why do I remember fighting you before?"

Sun Ce: "Brother, you act as if you never knew me. What has Cao Cao done to you?"

Zhou Yu: "My lord helped me remember who I was and who our enemy is. I am not you brother and I never will be."

Sun Ce: "We are sworn brothers Zhou…"

Zhou Yu: "Enough of your tricks, it's time for you to die."

Zhou Yu ran at Sun Ce preparing to strike him, but Sun Ce harden his grip on both his tonfas and hit Zhou Yu in the stomach. Zhou Yu coughed up blood and staggered backwards. His foot got caught in a hole and he fell on his back. His head hit the ground hard and he was knocked unconscious.

Sun Ce: "I am sorry that I had to do that brother. Looks like I should got you and Ma Chao to the doctor's house."

Sun Ce picks up Zhou Yu and places him on one shoulder, then places Ma Chao on his other shoulder.

Sun Ce: "Man if you guys were as big as Xu Zhu, then I would be as flat as the ground."

About 30 minutes pass and Sun Ce finally exits the forest and the doctor is standing right there as if he were waiting for him.

Doctor: "Did you get those mushrooms I asked for?"

Sun Ce: "Umm… well I got back tracked."

Doctor: "Wonderful, more patients to tend to. One more thing, I found those mushrooms and your friend is healing."

Sun Ce: "Thanks Doc!!!"

The doctor hits Sun Ce in the head.

Doctor: " No thanks to you… you lazy muddy drug addicted good for nothing. Now bring these people to my house, take a bath, and find me some more mushrooms."

Sun Ce: "Yes sir."

An hour has passed and Sun Ce enters the doctor's house with mushrooms. Ma Chao is awake and cleaning the house.

Sun Ce: "Hey your alright, but why are you cleaning?"

Ma Chao: "The doctor told me to clean his house, I figured why not. He did help me so I owe it to him."

Doctor: "Back to work slave and take a bath! Sun Ce you brought the mushrooms I asked for. Good now you can make diner."

Sun Ce: "I have to make dinner with mushrooms…Yuck!!!"

Doctor: "Quit complaining and cook slave."

Thus Sun Ce was pushed into the kitchen and was forced to make dinner. Not long after Zhuge Liang woke up.

Zhuge Liang: "Where am I and what has happen?

Doctor: "Good your awake. You can sort out my book collection."

Ma Chao walks in.

Ma Chao: "I am done sweeping… Lord Zhuge Liang your okay."

Zhuge Liang: "Good to see you Lord Ma Chao. Could you tell me what has happen and where am I?"

Ma Chao puts his broom aside and pulled up a chair. Then he began telling Zhuge what has occurred. After Ma Chao finished talking Sun Ce walked in.

Sun Ce: "Dinner is… Lord Zhuge Liang is alive!!!"

Zhuge Liang: "Good to see you as well Lord Sun Ce. How is Lord Zhou Yu?"

Sun Ce: "I do not know, but I hope he will get better."

Zhuge Liang: "I hope so too."

In a dungeon under Cao Cao's castle…

Cao Cao enters Xiao Qiao's cell.

Xiao Qiao: " What do you want you… you… VILLAIN!?!?!?"

Cao Cao: "Villain am I? How true. You're coming with me."

Xiao Qiao: "Why should I?"

Cao Cao: "So that I may use you as leverage. MWUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

B/C: I'm also sorry it took so long to make this story, but the plus is I do not have to take Midterms and how dare you start my story Master Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu: I just had too.

B/C: Oh yeah well I just have to punch you.

Zhou Yu: No anything but those big man hands.
