Okay, Here we go, another chapter. I'm sorry it took so long, but I have an exam tomorrow, and I had to study for SOOOO LOOOONNNNGGGG! Anyways, this is a battle scene, so please excuse the fact that I SUCK at writing battle scenes. Okay, on with the show….I mean, story!
Everyone begins to run towards the forest, but Lee trips. (Her feet are still tied together)
Ling stops and looks back at her.
Lee: Go! I'll catch up!
He nods, then proceeds to run after the others.
Lee struggles a bit, but manages to get her feet untied.
Lee also runs into the forest.
The four run into the forest to see Shuai surrounded by the same five guards they just fought.
Shuai: Yao!
She runs toward him, but one of the guards grabs her by her hair.
Shuai struggles to get away, and finally her hairpiece breaks and she falls to her knees.
She looks back at the man, annoyed.
Shuai: Hey! I really liked that thing!
One of the guards runs towards her, his sword poised to attack.
Shuai shrieks, then flips her hair over the front of her face.
Ling pulls out his sword and rushes towards the man.
The two of them continue to fight offscreen.
Yao runs toward Shuai, but is blocked by two of the guards.
He jumps on one of them, and that guard throws Yao into a tree, knocking him out.
Another guard approaches Shuai with his sword ready.
He raises the sword high.
Shuai looks up, in terror, and screams.
At the same time, Lee jumps out of the forest and onto the guard.
Lee: HEEEEYAAAAAAAAA!
Lee covers his eyes.
The guard drops his sword, and spins around, dazed somewhat.
A guard runs toward Lee on her right side, and she kicks him in the head.
Another guard does the same thing from Lee's left, and the result is the same.
The two guards run at her at the same time, and she kicks the both of them, this time knocking them out.
A third guard runs toward Lee from the back, but she sees this, and jumps off the first guard, causing the third guard to leap into the first guard, knocking them both out.
She stands up and chuckles at the guards for a second.
Ling:(Offscreen) Lee, behind you!
She spins around to face the final guard- the same guard she kicked off the cliff before.
He swipes at her, but she ducks and pins him on the ground with her foot.
He pushes her off of him, and into Ling, who catches her.
Lee kicks with her left foot, and the guard grabs her foot.
She tries again, with her right foot, and he grabs it too, but drops his sword in the process.
Lee is now suspended in the air.
She looks over at Shuai, then gets an idea.
Lee: Shuai!
Shuai looks up.
Lee curves her body into 'the bridge'.
Lee: Run!
Shuai gets up and runs quickly under Lee's 'bridge'.
She hides behind E Liu.
The guard, now angered, pushes Lee away from him, letting go of her feet.
She falls back on top of Ling.
The guard picks up his sword and raises it above his head.
He swipes down, but Ling rolls Lee and himself to the left, out of harm's way.
The guard follows after them.
Ling stands up, and places Lee behind him, against a tree.
He and the guard clash swords for a moment, then the guard swipes his sword, and Ling ducks.
Lee backs away, but the sword rips her sleeve.
Ling stands up again, but the guard grabs him by the collar and tosses him aside.
Meanwhile, Yao is wobbling around, attempting to stand up, and Ling crashes into him.
The guard pulls back, and lunges his sword at Lee, who ducks.
She kicks him, but again, he grabs her foot, and tosses her into a tree, dazing her.
The guard runs to finish her off, but is blocked by Chien Po.
Ling runs over to help Lee up.
From in behind the trees, a young man, about nineteen, peers out at Lee.
For a split second, he sees a flashback of a woman, who looks much like Lee.
Young man: Stop!
The guard turns to face him.
Guard: What is it?
The young man looks around anxiously.
Young man: Retreat.
He runs away.
The guard looks at the other semi-conscious guards, and nods.
They all run away into the forest.
E Liu: Okay. That was weird.
Ling: Yeah, who was that anyway?
Shuai:(Offscreen, to Yao) Don't touch me!
We pan to her and Yao.
Yao: What'd I do? What'd I do!
Shuai's hair falls and covers her face again.
She remains silent.
Yao: Shuai, talk to me!
She whirls around, and parts her hair for a split second.
Shuai: No!
She puts her hair back covering her face again.
Shuai: We need to talk, Yao.
Yao: But you just said that you wouldn't talk to me!
Shuai: Come on!
She walks off, her hair still covering her eyes.
Offscreen. (Thud).
Shuai:(Offscreen) Owie!
E Liu, Chien Po, Lee and Ling walk down a forest path.
Lee notices her sleeve.
Lee: Aw, shoot. My sleeve's ripped. Hey E Liu? Can I borrow your sewing stuff?
E Liu: Sure.
Lee: Thanks.
Ling: You can sew?
Lee: I can do many things. Oooooooh……
She makes ghost like sounds as she walks off into the bushes.
Ling:(To E Liu) Was she dropped on her head as a baby, or something?
E Liu: You kiddin'? She STILL gets dropped on her head.
Lee pulls a needle and thread out of E Liu's bag, and begins to sew up her shirt.
Shuai:(Offscreen) I can't believe you left me alone out there, with no protection!
Yao:(Offscreen) If you could fight, there wouldn't be a problem!
Lee enters the clearing to see the two of them arguing….in song!
All is sung, unless specified otherwise.
Shuai: I'm a girl, you're a guy- you're the one who's 'sposed to fight.
Yao: I'm a guy, you're a girl- You're 'sposed to cook and clean, day and night!
Shuai:(Spoken) I'm not your servant, Yao.
Yao:(Spoken) That's obvious, after all, you don't DO anything.
Shuai:(Spoken) Hey!
Yao:(Spoken) Oh no, wait, I'm sorry- You run and hide, that must be SO difficult.
Shuai:(Growls) You'd be the worst husband, for any girl!
Yao: And you'd be the worst wife!
Shuai: That's it Yao- I've had enough!
I want you OUT OF MY LIFE!
She screams so loud, that it knocks Yao over.
He stands up again.
Yao:(Spoken) I'll gladly leave, if you just move your big head out of the way!
Shuai:(Scandalized gasp)(Spoken) At least my head has a brain in it.
Yao crosses his arms and turns away from her.
Yao:(Spoken) Yeah, too bad you never use it.
Lee:(Spoken) Ouch, that's gotta' hurt.
Shuai:(Offscreen) HEEYAA!
Offscreen (thud).
Lee:(Spoken) Ooh, that's gotta' hurt more.
We cut to Yao lying face first in a mound of dirt, with a little 'landing strip' behind him.
Shuai: You're lower than slime.
Yao: You're too sensitive!
Shuai: I wasted my time!
Yao: I give and I give,
And what do I have to show for it- You?
Both: Just forget it,
We're through!
Lee: Oh please, just admit it-
You know you're meant to be!
Shuai: For once in your life,
Just SHUT UP Lee!
Lee: Come on, you guys,
You know it's true!
Lee pulls them into a big hug, but they break away.
Shuai and Yao: Just forget it,
We're through!
Shuai begins to walk away.
Shuai:(Spoken) That's it, I'm outta' here.
Yao: Fine, leave, who needs you anyway?
You'll come running back, in less than a day!
Shuai: Yeah, right.
In your dreams pipsqueak!
Yao: At least I'm not
Annoying, pathetic and weak!
You're whiny, and selfish…
Shuai: And, oh! What are you?
They begin to walk away.
Both: Just forget it,
We're through!
They leave in opposite directions.
Lee pauses, then sits down.
Lee:(Spoken) Well, this isn't good.
I must say this here: Until I get two more reviews, I will not update this story. It doesn't have to be praise or criticism; I just want to know that people ARE indeed reading my story!
Thank you.
