Were Back Folks!
Sorry for the late update, I intended to put this up last week, but so much was going on, I didn't have time. But i do now.
I do have something to say about a film that came out a few weeks ago. Um, how do i put this delicately?...
" I AM PISSED OFF BEYOND ALL CONFIDENCE! NO WANER BROS I DON'T WANT ANY CANDY!" Maverick bellows in anger.
What he just said….
Listen everyone, all of you are entitled to your opinions, but these last few Disney remakes…..I didn't like them. They had some effort in their special effects and colors. But Dumbo 2019 was last straw when it comes to Tim Burton's career. Aladdin 2019 did not put me in a whole new world and Lion king 2019 was much worse for me.
" YOUR TOO ***KING NICE!" Maverick spat then mimicked Judge Frollo while holding a match. "Those remakes are a SIN AND THEY WILL BURN!"
Anyway, if you all disagree and have enjoyed those Disney Remakes this year, i wish i were you.
"And he shall slay the mediocre and plunge them into a fiery pit!" Maverick quoted before dropping his voice and speaking normally. "You know, like Twitter or Youtube. They can be mean to the films that are 50/50."
Yeah they're just like you!
"Ain't no thing in this universe who is like me, except me!" Maverick quipped. "Now let's answer is one comment before we try to make more, or before the world formerly known as ' ' ends. Whichever comes first."
Alrighty then.
KingdomWarrior125: Thank you. I really appreciate that.
Okay now that were all here.
LET'S GET DANGEROUS!
Where Do i Sign Up For Some Hun Whoopin?
Imperial army camp…
Inside the main tent of the camp. General Li discusses his war plan with his son Li Shang and the Emperor's advisor/weasel, Chi Fu. While this was going on, Aiden looked up a certain intriguing info on General Li and came up with an approach he would not refuse.
So Aiden tasked Groot to sneak in and place a forged urgent message from 'someone' the General will listen to.
"The Hun's have struck here, here and here." The General stated as he pointed at the map with his pointer, while moving some models. "I will take the main troops from the Tung Shao Pass, and stop Shun Yu before he destroys this village."
"Excellent strategy sir." Chi Fu praised the general's plan. More like 'kissed his butt' if you know what that means.
Just then an imperial soldier walked in with an important letter.
"Yes?" General Li stood up.
"Forgive my interruption sir, but we have some royal visitors from Arendelle who wishes to speak with you." The soldier informed the general.
This got General Li's attention as his eyes widened. But the adviser scoffed.
"Trooper, were in the middle of a war right now! We have no time to make trades with a forgine-" Chi Fu tried to say.
"Hold on. Arendelle? Let me see!" General Li took the letter and read it.
He recognized the seal. And the M symbol on the signature. This could only mean one thing.
"He has just arrived, minutes before we got the letter that is." The soldier added while clearing his throat.
The General grinned and said. "Bring our him in. And treat him with respect."
"Yes sir." The soldier bowed before leaving to escort their 'guest' in.
"Arendelle? Could that mean?" Shang stood up with his eyes widening in realization.
"Indeed my son, it seems that our ancestors are in our favor." The General smiled at his son.
"Sir with all do respect, is this really a good time for visitors. We can't be responsible for any royal casualties that could backfire on us." Chi Fu said.
So General Li answered his question with a question.
"Chi Fu? Do you Recall the story, about the Battle of Dongxing?" The General asked.
"Of course! It was one of the biggest wars in history." Chi Fu answered. "Why do you ask Sir?"
"Well…." The general chuckled lightly. "We didn't win that war alone. And it seems we won't be winning this one alone either."
Just then as unexpected. Kai, also known as Queen Elsa's overseer from castle Arendelle, walks in with two guardsmen from Arendelle itself.
"Greeting General. I hope this isn't a bad time for introductions." Kai bowed his head in respect.
"Well now that you mentioned it of coure-" Chi Fu almost interjected. But the General held his hand up silencing him.
"For Arendelle, there's always a good time." General Li smiled.
" Thank you. My name is Kai, a representative of Queen Elsa and King J'son of Arendelle." Kai gestured in respect.
"A pleasure, and I thank you for your surprising arrival." General Li shook his hand and turned to Shang and Chi Fu. "For those of you who don't know, years ago the previous king of Arendelle. King Reidar came here and helped my grandfather when the war, under the warrior's name, 'the Maverick'. Now the current prince has come to help us stop Shun Yu. Am i right?"
"Indeed. Allow me to introduce, Prince Aiden of Arendelle." Kai Projected as Aiden entered in, wearing his blue navy princely attire from back home. "And his Betrothed, Lady Victoria."
Then Victoria entered wearing a purple female attire matching Arendelle as well. Much to her surprise no one seemed offended by having her walk in. Since any form of royalty is given full rights to come and go. Therefore they have to treat her as if she's a Chinese princess.
"Welcome both of you." General Li bowed his head to them. "I'd take it your King Raider great grandson. Who is also the current Maverick?"
"Third Great, actually. But who's counting." Aiden shrugged humorously. "And also. Yeah. I've been wearing the ring for the past eight years."
All of China remembers the legend of the Maverick. King Raider, the previous Maverick fought here on this world and helped China win the Battle of Dongxing. But what made this world's historical battle different from others is that in this world. China's enemies had the heartless with them. King Raider the Maverick took them down and saved China's victory.
It would seem it was Aiden's turn to do the same.
"A Maverick?!" Chi Fu gasped in shock. But then he regained his posture as he narrowed his eyes in suspicion at the young prince. "Wait…..Aren't you a little too young to be a Maverick?"
Aiden immediately shifted into his Maverick form and stared down at the advisor. Even Victoria transformed into her Blaze form. Shocking everyone in the room. Except for Kai and the guardsmen with him, but that's a given.
"Aren't you a little too fragile to be castrated?" Maverick glared at him. " To say yes, say something that'll piss me off."
The advisor gulped and shook his head. "I...i mean make yourselves at home. It's n-n-not a bad time to come. I do love surprises." Chi Fu laughed nervously.
Everyone gave Chi Fu an unamused look then turned their attention back to the royals.
"I'd take it your General Li?" Blaze asked him.
"Indeed. And it would seem your a Maverick as well?" The General asked her.
"More or less. But everyone calls me Blaze." She shrugged.
"Very well, China welcomes you both. I am General Li, and this is my son and apprentice Shang." General Li shook his hand and introduced Shang who came over.
" I have to say. It is an unexpected honor to meet you Your Highness." Shang shook Maverick's hand (like a college student meeting his favorite athlete). "I heard the stories, but I never thought I would meet an actual Maverick in person."
"See? Told you i had fans in high places." Maverick whispered braggingly at Blaze, who rolled her eyes in response.
"I hope you are aware of the recent attacks that have been going on, by the Huns?" Chi Fu asked him.
"As if we're came here for the wontons or to save the Pandas AKA your paternal cousins. Yes. I came here because their leader just shook hands with a common enemy of ours that are on our blacklist." Maverick stated.
"Very well. If we may discuss this in private." General Li requested.
Then Maverick turned to Kai and the guards from Arendelle.
"We'll take it from here Gentlemen. Thank you for the escort." Maverick thanked them.
One of the guards raised his hand, about to ask a question. "No your not getting a raise, put your hand down Rob." Maverick said quickly without even looking at him.
The guard slumped his hand down in disappointment, as the other guard patted his back.
"We will see you back on the ship once your done here." Kai stated as he took his leave.
"Thanks Kai." Maverick nodded.
"My pleasure." Kai nodded before walking out with the two guardsmen.
Back outside…..
Once they made it outside the camp, they went over to Sora and his friends who were with Mulan. They were waiting for Aiden to let them know if they can enter the camp and join the army.
"Well?" Donald inquired.
"My work here is done gentlemen, You are clear to enter." Kai stated as he and the two guards were beamed back up to the ship.
And just like that, Kai was immediately sent back to Arendelle.
Earlier, Aiden contacted his mother Elsa and asked if had Kai and several of the guards beamed over here for something important. And of course it worked, Elsa didn't need to be convinced about how important this was when it comes to Aiden's team. Back then she would worry if this was too dangerous, but after his previous adventure. She was convinced that her son could handle anything.
So Aiden used the ships teleporter that was linked to the portal back home to send Kai and the guards here to make Aiden's princely appearance in front of the general, authentic.
And of course it worked.
And surprisingly the general knew about Arendelle and the previous Maverick. But these people are under the assumption that Arendelle is a kingdom far far away. They have no idea it's actually another world.
Talk about subtle.
"Alright guys. Time to sign up." Sora said to the others as they walked into the camp
Mulan was about to walk in with them when Mushu spoke from her shoulder.
"Okay time to show them your man walk. Shoulders back, chest high, feet apart, head up! And ...strut!" Mushu instructed each part as Mulan did what she was told and started marching ...ridiculously. It was a miracle nobody didn't noticed her.
Sora heard Mushu and turned back to notice Mulan's weird walk, So he ran up to her and stopped her.
"That's...not how men walk. Just do as you normally do but with your arms straight, alright?" Sora eased her.
"Oh alright." Mulan nodded and walked with them.
The team got in line with the other soldiers. But Sora was pushed aside by a short guy named Yao. "Bout time we got some grub." He Mumbled.
"Hey! No cutting!" Sora glared.
"Get out!" Donald barked.
Yao quickly turned and punched Sora in the face in retaliation, Donald muttered angrily and attacked the small man.
"Back Off!" Yao and Donald went at it while the others just watched wondering what to do.
"Uh oh…" Goofy looked worried that they might have overstayed their welcome.
Soon a skinny soldier name Ling walked in and pushed them both aside. "Hey, a space in line!"
However, they were all pushed aside by a huge fat soldier name Chien-Po.
"I wonder what they're serving for lunch today." He wondered.
"Knuckle Sandwiches!" Yao went to attack the other two soldiers.
"That's it!' Sora rejoined the fight.
Soon everyone was fighting each other except for Mulan and Goofy.
Back inside the general's tent…..
Everyone sat around the map as Aiden and Victoria explained to General Li and Shang about why they are here in China and about their enemies.
"And you're sure that Shun Yu's horde of black demons came from this 'Organization' you spoke of?" The General quizzed after hearing Aiden's side of the story.
"We call them 'The Heartless' actually. But yeah we're pretty sure." Victoria nodded.
"What do you know about them?" Shang asked. "Anything you might add could be helpful to us."
"What we do know is that their creatures from the darkness that are attracted to the hearts of all living creatures." Aiden answered. "It's our job to stop them."
"Hearts?" Shang asked.
"More like Metaphysical hearts. that thing of light and darkness that makes you who you are." Victoria explained. "Think of it as a Ying Yang, but prettier."
"But getting back to the Heartless. Even though their so dumb, they could throw a rock at the ground and miss. They are dangerous. And they've done more damage than you can ever realize. Not just here in China." Aiden stated seriously. "I have a team outside who needed and decided to tag along with us in our quest to put some dirt in the eye of organization XIII."
"So, men in black coats and monsters who are after people's hearts. You don't suppose this camp could be a target?" General li scratched his chin.
"I would bet my life savings on it. They want you to lose the war. And they know it's a helluva guarantee if they bring this camp down." Aiden told them.
"Which will be difficult, unless they get past me and Mav here first." Victoria added while pooping her electric knuckles.
" Then by all means." The General turned to Shang. "Shang, you will stay and train the new recruits we have at our camp. When Chi Fu believes you are ready, you and are new allies here will join us. Captain."
He stated this as he past a seethed sword over to Shang. Who of course looked astonished.
"Captain?" Shang asked as he took the sword in his hands.
Chi Fu gasped. "This is an enormous responsibility General!" He said sounding baffled. "Uh- perhaps a soldier with more experience?..."
'Like who? Your potty training coach?' Victoria thought, but didn't say out loud.
"Number one in his class, extensive knowledge of training techniques." The general listed his son's qualities. Then bragged about the last one. "An impressive military lineage. I believe Li Shang will do an excellent job."
"Oh i will. I won't let you down. This is…. I mean." Shang cleared his throat and bowed his head in respect to his father. "Yes sir."
"Very good then." The General smiled and stood up with his helmet in his arms. "We'll all toast China's victory at the Imperial City."
Then he gave a look of appreciation at Aiden and Victoria.
"With my son leading these men and you both at our side. I have full confidence that victory is ours." The General stated before looking at Chi Fu. "I'll expect a full report in three weeks."
"And I won't leave anything out." Chi Fu gave Shang a pompous warning statement.
Before he and the general walked out of the camp.
"You know I'd smack his head off, but that would be animal abuse." Victoria whispered in Aiden ear. Making him snickered.
"Looks like the Man just got promoted. We'll let you savored the moment." Aiden stated to Shang before walking out with Victoria.
Shang smiled at them before looking down at his sword.
"Captain Li Shang. Hmm." He said to himself while looking confident as he placed the sword on the belt of his uniform. "Leader of China's finest troops. No, the greatest troops of all time."
As he admired the nice ring that name had, he was immediately jinxed as he saw the fighting that was going on outside with his troops. It was so intense they knocked down the large stew pot that was baking for lunch. Rice was getting everywhere. Chickens were running all over and tents were falling.
Shang, Aiden and Victoria dropped their jaws at the commotion that was going on. A random dizzy soldier stumbled over. He saluted the captain and general before falling to the ground. Aiden was even annoyed to see Sora and Donald in the middle of a fight. Granted he's one to talk, given that he's did some crazy crap in the past. But this was unprofessional.
"What..." Victoria muttered.
"The…." Aiden added.
"***k." Victoria finished.
"Most impressive." Chi Fu scowled at Captain Shang.
The General ignored the chaos and mounted himself on his horse.
"Good luck Captain! And you too Maverick!" He bid them farewell before riding off. "Hiyah!"
Then the general and his squad of soldiers left on horse back to their base. Leaving Shang in charge of the camp, and Aiden to deal with his teams chaos.
"Good luck ...Father." Shang whispered looking ahead as the general road off. He sighed as he felt the responsibility that was placed on his shoulders.
And hearing Chi Fu state. "Day ...One."
Meanwhile….
"Please!" Mulan exclaimed making everyone stop and look at her weirdly.
"Please?" Ling rose an eyebrow.
"What a girl." Yao shook his head.
"Uh…. I mean… Knock it off!" Mulan ordered in her Ping's voice.
"Knock what off?" Yao shrugged.
"You punched me!" Sora glared at him.
"Cutting in line!" Donald added.
"What a shrimp!" Ling scoffed.
"Shrimp?! Who are you callin' shrimp, panda lips?! I'm a bona fide guardian dragon!" Mushu popped up from Mulan's shoulder. However, before the others could noticed the small dragon, she shoved him back into hiding.
"Look, let's just get back in line." Mulan tried to reason with all of them.
"Who's side are you on? I just got slugged!" Sora complained.
"Want some more?!" Yao threatened before spitting to the ground.
*HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONK!*
Everyone covered their ears at the sound of Aiden blowing an air horn, And it was a long blast. Once it ceased everyone calmed down.
"What on earth was that?" Chi fu inquired as he uncovered his ears.
"One of the things that can pacify a union dispute." Aiden flipped the can. "And it puts all of the freshmen in their place."
Shang grinned at Aiden before marching up to his troops and giving them a hard stare.
"SOLDIERS! STAND DOWN!" Shang ordered them. Causing them to stand at attention. Then he walked in front of all of his men. "
"These newcomers are allies! They came along with the Prince of Arendelle who has agreed to help us out. Therefore, you will treat Prince Aiden here as if he were me, his Betrothal Victoria as if she was a daughter of the Emperor himself, and these men as your fellow soldiers. Am I understood?" Shang spoke with authority.
"SIR YES SIR!" All the men and Mulan exclaimed in acknowledgement. Then they bowed at Aiden. "Your Highness!"
"Thank you, your all kind ...to a point. Please don't throw flowers, send money instead. Hehe." Aiden waved at them as he and Victoria approached Sora.
"So how did it go with the general?" Sora asked Aiden and Victoria.
"Fantastic, he just gave his son Shang a promotion before leaving." Victoria pointed back over at the captain. "And now we're Chinese bureaucrats."
"And not the Communist type. That means we don't have to burn down churches to the Flying Noodle Monster to get on their good side." Aiden quipped.
"Great! So we're friends to the army now." Goofy smiled.
"Yeah it's a good thing that little food fight we just walked into didn't get us on their bad side." Aiden raised an eyebrow at Sora.
"Hey, it wasn't our fault! That little hard-knocks midget socked me in the jaw earlier." Sora said
"Yeah and he cut in line!" Donald interjected.
"Of course he did. Didn't you ever watch Stripes? That's how they say hello in the army." Aiden condescendingly patted Sora's shoulder, earning a bemused look from him. "Besides as soon as they see the great amount of ass we're about to kick and serve, they'll become fans of us."
"What the hell is Stripes?" Victoria inquired.
Before Aiden could answer. Spawns of Heartless started popping up around the camp. Alarming everyone as those monsters looked hostile toward everyone in their path.
"What are those?!" Mulan asked pulling out her sword and holding it the wrong way.
"Heartless! Keep your guard up!" Victoria said as she summoned her keyblades, and turning Mulan's sword up the right way.
"We're under attack! Get to your positions men! We must not allow them to take this camp!" Shang order all of the soldiers.
All of the men did what their told and ran to their positions. Aiden and Victoria shifted into the Maverick and Blaze, Sora shifted into his armor too as he and the guardians summoned their weapons and started fighting back against the heartless. Even Groot was running around screaming and swiping his long arms at them.
"Is that stick attacking?" Ling gave Baby Groot a weird look as he passed by.
"You sure that's a stick?" Yao raised an eyebrow at him as well.
Maverick teleported from place to place as fast as a heartless kept popping up only to be cut down instantly. Sora despite his lack of his former full power held his own pretty well with Donald and Goofy. Blaze flew up and rained thunderbolts on the heartless.
As the guardians were winning the fight, Shang and his men kept taking the heartless known as Nightwalkers (Not to be confused with Daywalker).
Shang was amazed by the skill and power that the guardians had along with the Maverick. He even noticed 'Ping' in action. And how impressive she really was, the fact that the poor kid kept dropping her weapon every time she took one down was giving her a lousy first impression.
Though the other recruits like Ling, Chien-Po and Yao aren't doing so well either. If the Three Stooges were Chinese, these guys would fit.
Once the heartless were done and the camp was secured. Sora and Maverick caught their breathes along with the team as they put away their keyblades.
"IRIS, how many casualties?" Maverick asked IRIS as Groot hopped back on Blaze's shoulder.
"No civilian or troop casualties reported Sir." IRIS responded.
"Yep. We're that good." Sora quipped as he stretched his shoulder.
"Well we do, but the drag Avenger over there has some more ground to cover." Maverick muttered looking at Mulan who got off the ground and wiped the dust off herself.
Shang walked over to Aiden along with Chi Fu who got out of hiding. The captain shook the young Maverick's hand
"Thank you Your Highness. Your battle skills are honorable and your power is unlike anything China has ever seen." Shang complemented.
"Thanks, too bad your old man wasn't here to see it. But don't worry, There will be plenty more to come." Maverick winked.
"And you three, what are your names?" Shang inquired Sora and his friends.
"Sora." "Donald." "Goofy." They all answered their names.
"You're all welcomed in my camp. The Maverick has picked his troops well." Shang said to them.
"Are you sure Captain? They aren't exactly-" Chi Fu gawked.
"I am sure. They fought off the heartless with encouraging battle skills. We'll need men like them." Shang interrupted him.
Mulan as Ping came over "Captain? If i may, i am Ping, the son of-" She tried to say.
"You should return home." the captain cut her off with a firm look.
"But ...But that will dishonor my family name!" The disguised woman gasped.
"Would you rather dishonor the captain's troops?" Chi Fu inquired.
"No offense, but it's not like your other recruits are a trip to Paris." Blaze gestured over at some of the other soldiers.
Like Ling who was flexing his muscles causing his pants to drop. He looked embarrassed as You Laughed and Chen Po was tip toeing over spilled rice from earlier.
"Well i…" The skinny advisor didn't have a comeback, but he did try to act superior. "Know your place girl!"
Blaze clenched her fist and caused a lightning bolt to strike near the advisor, making him squeal like a girl.
"Please?" Chi Fu squeaked with a nervous smile.
"If Ping trained hard and does his best with the others, he'll get stronger in no time." Sora spoke up for Mulan.
"Hmm…" Shang pondered at this. "You may have a point, but this army is too important for those who aren't prepared for war."
"Didn't some local who lived here once said that, 'a single grain of rice can tip the scale; one man may be the difference between victory and defeat'? Did i say it right?" Maverick quoted.
Or in this case, a woman can mean the difference between victory and defeat.
"The Emperor said that actually." Shang said with a nod. He sighed and looked at Ping. " Let me see your conscription notice."
Mulan handed her notice to him, once the captain read it. He was very surprised. "Fa Zhou? THE Fe Zhou?"
"I didn't know Fa Zhou had a son." Chi Fu agreed looking at Mulan in suspicion.
Mulan looked nervous. "Er, he ... doesn't talk about me much." Mulan lied as she attempted to spit like Yao did earlier to look tough.
It failed.
"Oh god…" Blaze held her mouth trying not to gagged, that was pretty gross.
" I can see why, the boy is an absolute lunatic." Chi Fu whispered to Shang with a laugh.
"I'm standing right here." Maverick narrowed his eyes at him, thinking he meant him.
"In any case. I hope you are ready to be tested."
"I won't let you don't captain." Mulan wiped her mouth nodded.
"We'll see." Shang stated as he looked at the rest of his men. " Alright gentlemen. Let's start tonight by cleaning this camp up. Because tomorrow, the real work begins.
All of the troops grumbled at this but obeyed. Seeing how late it was getting, training for the troops will have to wait until tomorrow. Then Captain Shang addressed the guardians.
"Sora? Your Highness? You and your team should get some rest. I will brief you on some mission details once my scouts return from the mountains." Shang said to them before walking off with Chi Fu.
"You know, we have to work on your people skills." Mushu whispered to Mulan.
"Him or you?" Maverick snickered before they walked off to set up camp.
With Maverick able to make a royal class tent with his ice powers, sleep would go well for the team. Even though Aiden and the others offered Mulan to bunk with them, she politely refused and decided to go and camp near the army. To try and socialize. Needless to say, she was barely able to during clean up since everyone was mean to Ping, saying 'he was weak and puny like girl' (irony).
Hopefully when training is over, Mulan will be made a full armed and able warrior. And they'll all see.
The next day inside Mulan's tent.
As mulan slept on her mat. With the cricket sleeping on top of the blanket. Mushu walked in and winded up Cri Kee like a clock and set of an alarm waking Mulan up.
"All right, rise and shine, Sleeping Beauty! C'mon, hup, hup, hup!" Mushu knocked on her head.
But Mulan pulls the blanket over her body, Mushu enthusiastically pulls it off of her making her shiver.
"Get your clothes on, get ready! Got breakfast ready." Mushu brought a bowl up to her. "Look, you get porridge! And it's happy to see you!"
By that he made a smiley face in a porridge with a piece of bacon with two eggs. Even Cri kee was resting happily in the bowl of porridge. But Mushu uses chopsticks to fish him out.
"Hey, get out of there! You're gonna make people sick!" Mushu snapped as he tossed the cricket away.
"Am I late?" Mulan moaned trying to wake up completely.
Only to have Mushu stuff porridge in her mouth, over and over until her mouth was so full
" No time to talk. Now, remember, it's your first day of training, so listen to your teacher and no fighting, play nice with the other kids, unless, of course, the other kids want to fight, then you gotta kick the other kid's butt." Mushu spoke like a happy parent sending his girl off to school.
"But I don't want to kick the other kids' butts." Mulan said with her mouth full of breakfast.
"Don't talk with your mouth full." Mushu scolded. "Now let's see your war face."
Mulan looked at Mushu with her cheeks bulging with porridge.
"Oh, I think my bunny slippers just ran for cover. C'mon, scare me, girl!" Mushu got up to her face after she swallowed.
Mulan made the little dragon fall over with the bowl to the ground as she growled. " Rrrrraaaaarrrgggghhhhh!"
"Yeah! That's my tough looking warrior! That's what I'm talking about! Now, get out there and make me proud!" Mushu praised her and cupped her cheeks.
Just then baby Groot barged in the tent.
"What are you doing here Junior Splinter?! My girl needs to get ready." Mushu asked him. "You better be glad she slept in her underclothes."
"I am Groot!" Groot said frantically.
"What do you mean, the troops just left?" Mushu understood.
"They what?" Mulan gasped.
Once she was fully dressed, she rushes out of the tent causing it to fall as she ran to join the troops.
"Wait, you forgot your sword!" Mushu came out the tent dragging the sword.
But she was already gone, and the little dragon started acting like a parent watching their girl get on the bus.
"My little baby, off to destroy people …" Mushu sniffed while humorously tuning up to tears.
Cri Kee patted his back while baby Groot stood next to Mushu.
"I am Groot." Groot said looking off.
"What do you mean you know how a feel?" Mushu inquired.
"I am Groot." Groot explained.
"You helped raised the Mav kid? And you were once a full grown tree?" Mushu said in shock.
"I am Groot." Groot sighed.
"Oy vey, I don't know whether to envy you for the fact you get to relive your glorious childhood days. Or the fact that you lost your adulthood." Mushu remarked.
"I am Groot?" Groot asked.
"What do you mean how old am i?! Look at me!" Mushu spread his arms out.
Only for him to realize he's no bigger than Groot. Then he slumped in exasperation.
"Take it for prepubescent salad bar to pull me out of my sweet, sweet delusions." Mushu muttered walking away.
After that Inside captain Shang's tent….
Shang was debriefing the Guardians on a mission he was giving them. As he pointed at a map of where they should go.
"I sent three of our scouts to survey the path to the mountain summit. Two of them came back this morning stating they were attacked once they made it to the first checkpoints." Shang informed them. "No doubt those enemies are ready to ambush us further from there."
"Heartless?" Sora asked.
"We're not sure yet. They claimed that they were white and moving like vipers with their deformed limbs." Shang described.
"Those would be the Dusks." Victoria concluded.
"Dusks?" Shang asked.
" They are like the empty shells of people left behind after a heartless is forms. We call them nobodies." Victoria explained.
"Wait. A heartless is a heart without a body, and nobody is a body without a heart. Shouldn't those names be the other way around?" Shang stated raising his eyebrow.
"See? I told you blue-pencils pushers that those names were backgrounds and should be switched. But you all said 'Noooo.' " Aiden mocked while quoting his team.
"Don't blame us, we didn't name them!" Donald said back.
"Continue Captain." Sora urged Shang.
"Right, anyway. Are orders are to travel from this mountain summit further into the from those checkpoints once our troops are fully trained. We need that way cleared." Shang stated. " You five will be the advance party."
"Achem, i am Groot?" Groot cleared his throat from down below with a frown.
"Sorry, six of you. Head up there, take down those enemies and report back." Shang stated.
"That's it? No prob." Sora said with cockiness.
"You got it Captain Beatty." Aiden shifted back into Maverick.
"And if we find your missing men alive, we'll bring them back safely." Goofy added.
"I admire your optimism, about doubt that their alive, Shun Yu usually never takes any prisoners." Shang said.
"Then will make it a just-in-case notion." Maverick stated.
"We'll smash them before they hurt anyone else!" Donald said confidently.
" Alright, I'll let you all get to it then. While your doing your mission, I'll be training your friend the other recruits." The captain stood up to leave and gave one final note to their mission. "Remember, while this mission may seem small to you. But the smallest mission may have the greatest purpose."
"I hear that." Sora remarked.
"Good luck Guardians." Shang nodded to them as they left.
But before Maverick walked out with them. Shang said something to him at the entrance of the tent.
"You should know that i followed your advice in allowing Ping to train with our recruits. But I can't promise that he'll go to war with us until he can prove himself to be a strong fighter." Shang said to him.
"I understand. Believe me i do. You want this to work, beat the crap out of a lot of Huns, save China. And make your dad proud. But so does Ping." Maverick pointed out.
Shang knew he was right. He lives with the heavy task of not letting his father down, he had to wonder, maybe Ping lives with that same weight.
They heard chatter from the crowd of rookies outside.
"Guess that means Captain Li Shang's 'School Of Bump Slapping' is now in session?" Maverick quipped.
"Pretty much. I'll get to it then." Shang sighed looking at his immature troops.
"We'll see you after class Or after we check out of work, whichever comes first. Go get em tiger." Maverick encouraged him before teleporting away.
Shang shook his head with a smile before walking over to train his troops. Whether those men were ready or not. It was time to make men out of all of them.
That's all for now folks!
We'll pick up on Sora, Aiden and the teams mission in the next chapter, will even include the funny scene where Mulan was bathing.
"Also if you're wondering how the training went. I posted it on Youtube and edited it in a musical using magic technology. Look for it under the name ' I'll Make A Man Out Of You'. And no i don't want it made into any kind of cash grabbing, second rate remakes. So stop asking!" Maverick said.
Anyway, i promise to update this when i get the chance but I make no promises on how soon that will be.
Also i'll pick up on 'The Queen And The Maverick Vol.2', onceI figure out what's next for that story.
Until next time Disney/Square Enix Fans!
FISTBUMP!
