Chapter 5: His Warning

Last time;

"DIDN'T YOU!" she yelled at him, she was starting to lose it. She couldn't stand him just sitting there with his stupid smirk on his face. Her blood was really starting to boil now. Before she knew it, he was on the ground unconscious. Sometime between her yelling at him and him hitting the ground, she had pulled her arm back and punched him square in the face.

"Wow!" Yao said, after they had dropped him. "Hey how did you know that he was the one who killed the Emperor?"

"I just did. Now put him on a horse. We leave for the palace." She said going back to Khan.

Mushu was watching all of this from on top of him. When Mulan reached him he asked, "Why are we going to the palace, the Emperor is gone."

"Because, they'll need the murder." she said getting back on Khan. "Alright. You ready? Let's go." she said leading the way to the palace.

The day before:

He was down in the dungeons. No one knew he was there. But there was one who did. He had put him in there a week ago, why was the question. He didn' t do anything wrong, did he? He was sitting quietly in a corner of one of the cells. He was thinking to himself when he heard the dungeon doors open. He heard foot steps on the stairs, soon he saw a figure. It spoke, "Hello, General."

Getting up to go after him, but he was stopped by the cell bars. Trying the best he could to grab the man, Shang spoke, "Chi Fu you traitor!"

"Well, I wouldn't say that. I haven't even done anything," Chi Fu paused, "Yet."

Narrowing his eyes, Shang spoke again, "Your still a traitor. Even if you do anything."

Moving in alittle closer to Shang's face Chi Fu said, "I'm going to let you in on alittle secret, I never liked this job. The only reason I have this job is because of my father, and I hate him for it. But, to get out of it, I'm planning on killing the Emperor, then I'll blame you for it."

Shang tried to go after the skinny man again, but the cell bars were still in his way. They were keeping him from getting a hold of Chi Fu and killing him.

"That's not all I'm planning to do General. No. I'm planning on setting Fa Mulan's village on fire. Of course she won't be there. She's actually on her way here to the palace, thanks to a false letter from the Emperor. Yep."

Shang sat there listening to all of this with his head down. When he heard Chi Fu say Mulan's name, he shot his head up so fast that his neck cracked. "No! You leave her alone. And her family. She didn't do anything to you!"

"By the sound of it General, I think you have feeling for the heroine of China. Am I right?"

Now he had hit Shang's last nerve. He moved so quickly after him, that Chi Fu didn't see it coming. Shang had gotten to him before Chi Fu could back up. Now he had him by the neck, and Shang was about to punch him in the face, when he heard the dungeon doors open again. He dropped Chi Fu at the sound of the Emporer's voice. "Chi Fu, are you down there?"

Catching his breath after Shang had dropped him, he said, "Yes your Majesty."

"Okay, well I need you to come up. I have to talk with you." the Emporer called down to Chi Fu.

"Yes your Majesty. I'm coming up right now. I'll... I'll meet you in the throne room." With a last look at Shang he headed up the dungeon stairs.

Glarring after him Shang said to himself, "Traitor."

Standing up straight, he walked back to the corner he was in before Chi Fu had come down. Sitting down on the cold stone floor and pulling his knees up so he could rest his chin on them he thought, I need to get out of here. I need to find Mulan and warn her about him. And his plan. Lifting his head up, and looking around for an idea, or something to help him escape, when he remembered that one of the guards had dropped a small knife on the way out a week ago. If he remembered right where it was, then he could use it to get out.

Reaching around the corner by the bottom of the stairs, (A/N; okay, so his cell is by the stairs, just around a small corner, if see what i mean.) feeling the cold stone floor for the sharp knife when he felt a small prick on his finger. "Ah! There you are. Come here you little devil." he said reaching for it, and it moving alittle bit toward him.

"Yes!" after grabbing it, Shang set to getting the bolts loosened from the hinges. After about 15 minutes of picking and prying at them, they came loose enough to pull out.

After taking the bolts out from the hinges, he opened the door slowly, to avoid any loud sound. Shang went to the back of the dungeons. Knowing that there was an underground passageway that end outside the city, by the river. Moving the rocks that were on top of the door quietly.

He thought as he lifted the last rock from on top of the door, What was Chi Fu going to do when Mulan got to the palace? Frame her for murdering somebody too. If so, that ain't going to happen, not on my time.

Opening the door and grabbing the torch from the wall, he jumped into the hole. He knew it was going to be along walk to the end of the tunnel. But he had to do it. No matter what.

"Finally the end of the tunnel." Shang said after he had walked about 2 miles.

He jumped of a small ledge, and landed on his feet. He stood up straight.

He whisled for his horse. He knew that she was still out there in the forest, waiting for Shang to call her. Shang waited, he soon heard the sound of hooves hitting the ground hard.

"There you are. Come on, we need to find Mulan." he said getting on Ju's back. (A/N; Shang's horse needed a name, and that's what i go out of it.)

Where can she be? Great. Its starting to get dark out. "We need to stop. We can't keep going. It'll get to dark."

Ju snorted.

"Okay. Fine we'll keep going. But, if we get lost, its your fault." Shang said to her. Ju went on walking along the road.

5 minutes later Shang said, "Ju, its dark. We need to stop for the night. I'm really tired."

She snorted again. Then looked back at him with a look Shang could not argue with.

"Fine, then lets keep going." Shang said.

Buy the time the sun had come up, Shang was so tired, that he had fallin' asleep. But he was almost falling off of Ju's back. He was woken awake for alittle bit when Ju nickered at him. But he wasn't awake for long. Soon he fell asleep again. She nickered again, causing him to wake up. But he fell asleep again. And for the third time Ju nickered at him, but louder than the last two. After about 3 minutes, Shang had fallin' asleep for the fourth time. But this time it wasn't Ju who woke him up. Shang jolted awake when he heard the sound of another horse. He moved Ju into the woods to hide from the person who was coming. If it was Chi Fu, he sure didn't want to be caught by him. But lucky for him, it wasn't. However the person on the horse was moving so fast that all he saw was a flash of black. (A/N; I think we all know who that was who went passed him.)

"They must be in a big hurry. To be going that fast." he said, Ju bring him and herself out of the woods where they were hiding. "Come on Ju, we have to keep going, we need to get to Mulan, before, well before Chi Fu does." With that they set to go find Mulan and to tell her the news before Chi Fu got to her.

Shang rode for another 15 minutes. He had fallen asleep while riding Ju again. This time Ju let him sleep. She knew that he was tired, and worried about Mulan.

She and Shang went down the road. After going down the hill and around the corner Ju heard a voice. She moved into the woods, hiding from the person who was coming from behind them. (A/N; don't ask why they keep hiding.) After the person was close enough to see who it was, Ju knew that it was Mulan the minute that she saw her. Ju was doing her best to wake up Shang, but he was so tired, that he was sleeping very heavily. Mulan had gone past them, she seemed to be talking to her lap. But why? It was oddly strange. But Ju then saw a red thing touch her face.

Finally Mulan and whatever it was that had touched her face were out of site, and ear shot, so Ju snorted and neighed as loud as she could, waking Shang up instantly.

"What! Ju I was sleeping. Why'd you wake me up?" he asked her, almost falling off of the sattle.

She snorted and went out of the woods, Shang asked, looking back at the trees, "Why were we in the woods?"

Ju went as fast as she could, without alarming Shang at the speed she was going. But he had already noticed.

"Ju slow down, what's your hurry?" Shang said grabbing hold of Ju's reins. He was about to slow her down, when he heard a voice that he recognized. Mulan?

"Because, they'll need the murderer." Mulan said getting back on Khan. "Alright. You ready? Let's go." she said leading the way to the palace.

In a whisper, Shang said to himself, "Murderer?" What is she talking about, does she think... Ju snorted and nickered, interrupting his thoughts. She was almost out of sight. Kicking Ju in the side, he raced after her, "Mulan! Mulan!"

She was just around the corner with an unconscious Chi Fu, hanging half way off his horse, when she heard someone calling her name.

"Mulan!"

She heard someone say her name again.

That voice. I know that voice. But it can't be, can it? Turning her head around to look behind her, she saw someone she knew very well coming up behind her.

"Shang!" she said, turning Khan around, making him go toward Shang and his horse Ju. "Shang, your okay. I was beginning to think something terrible has happened to you. And I thought that was why the Emporer need to see me."

"No, I'm fine, but the Emporer is died. Chi Fu, he's a." he said, but he was interupted by Mulan.

"I know Shang. We have the traitor. See." she was pointing to the unconsious body, laying stomach down on his horse.

Looking at Chi Fu, then back to Mulan, he said, "What did you do?"

"Well, it's along story, but what you need to know is, I kind of got mad at him, and next thing I knew, he was on the ground." Getting off Khan and walking over to Chi Fu, she lifted his head so Shang could see the bruise starting to form on his right eye, and his broken nose, which was bruising too.

Dropping the head again, then she turned to face Shang, who had gotten off his horse to, she said, "But there's more."

"What else is there? He has killed the Emporer, and he was going to burn your village. Was he going to do something else too?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Not that I know of. But, huh? What, how do you know about him burning my village? And the Emporer being dead?" she asked with a surprised face.

"Because he told me his plan, that's how I know. I was put into the dungeons of the palace a week ago. While I was down there he told me that he was going to murder the Emporer, and burn down your village. He was the one who sent you the letter, it was a false one. So I got away to warn you of him, and his plan, but I guess I got here to late." He said to her. Shang turned to the gang of three, they had been quiet the whole time. Then he turned back to Mulan, "How do you know he killed the Emporer, and how do you know about your village?"

"It's another long story, but I'll tell you on the way to the palace. We need to get Chi Fu there, so they can, do whatever to him." she said, getting back on Khan, and walking him over to the trio.

Well, that's another chapter to be reviewed. What do you think? So well this is good bye til' chapter 6. See you then. Bye-bye. Mess531y.
