Authors Note: Uhhhh, hey, guys! *Dodges flying projectiles* OKAY! Yes, I know it's been quite some time. Unfortunately, between school, and some family stuff my life has been extremley hectic lately. Although I have no intensions of ever giving up this story, school and family come first. So, I finally have a free weekend and I decided that some updates were in order. I'm gonna post a few more chapters tomorrow as well. Then next week I'm on break so I'll try and update a little if I don't get bogged down with homework. I do have the names of all of the reviewers, but the list is very…extensive, so thanks to everyone who has reviewed since the last update! I hope you decide to keep reading and reviewing. Ok, on that note, back to the Land of Dragons! I'll post a quick recap since it's been awhile.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything recognizable. Just Katy, Ryan, Cassie, and Jordan, my OCs


Recap:

"So let's go find out where Shan-Yu is, by ourselves.

"B-bad idea!" Katy exclaimed, but Mulan nodded

"Okay. Let's go."

"Shan-Yu is in a cave outside the village!" Mushu revealed.

"Nobody's home." Katy remarked, looking around

"Oh,well." Donald sighed, walking back towards the village,

"What was that?" Mushu asked, looking around wildly.

A barrier came up between the three of them and the exit. And that's when the Heartless attacked.

Finally, the barrier came down and Sora, Katy, and Mulan reunited with Donald and Goofy once more, they made their way back to the village, only to find it had been burned to the ground. They spotted the Captain slouched against a wall a ways to their left.

"Captain, the enemy, where did they go?" Mulan asked

"Toward the summit." He groaned

"We'll stop them." Mulan vowed

The Captain nodded and the party set off toward the Summit.


Exiting the camp, the party made their way through the ridge to the summit, knocking Rapid Thruster's out of the air as they went. They reached the summit and found Shan Yu waiting for them at the top. They were able to make out his manic grin, even from afar and watched gob-smacked as an army of Heartless appeared behind him.

"No!" Sora exclaimed

"Yeah, that's not good…" Katy mumbled, eye twitching a bit.

Shun Yu just continues to grin as he looked back at his army and yelled "Attack!"

They killed wave after wave of the yellow torpedo looking Heartless before they finally retreated. Shan Yu was NOT a happy camper. He growled at them, drawing his wicked looking knife as he advanced, the Heartless not far behind. Just as they were about to dive into battle once more, our three favorite soldiers (not really) decided to make an appearance.

"Stand back!" Ugly ordered, sending them a glare.

"Yeah, we'll handle this!" Skinny added as he and Baldy began to set up their secret weapon.

"You're gonna kill them with…fireworks?" Katy asked, raising an eyebrow.

"That's the plan." Skinny replied.

"Why didn't I think of that?" She mumbled to herself.

Just as they were about to light the fuse, Mul—sorry, Ping knocked Ugly out of the way. Stuttering out an apology the ran a few feet forward and aimed the firework at the very top of the mountain.

"Flint, I need some flint." She muttered to herself, eyes landing on Mushu.

Before he could protest the grabbed him and used his fire-breath to light the fuse, accidentally launching him with the firework.

"You're going the wrong way!" Ugly protested.

"Dude, quiet! Just watch!" Katy said pointing to the spot where the bomb hit and successfully caused an avalanche.

"Yes!" Ping exclaimed.

"Don't celebrate yet, dude." Katy said warily, pointing to a figure in the distance.

"Captain?" Sora asked.

"No, the Queen of England. Of COURSE it's the captain!" Katy exclaimed.

Ping looked from the avalanche, to the captain, back to the avalanche, back to the captain before finally springing up and running towards him to inform him of his impending doom.

"Look out!"

Then the mountain exploded.

The snow was everywhere and was acting like a river rapid ride in an amusement park, carrying them down the summit like a current. Katy managed to grab onto Sora and spotted Donald and Goofy a ways away. She looked frantically around for Mulan who she saw running in the opposite direction with the captain. Resigning herself to the fact that they would have to ride the avalanche out, Katy tightened her grip on Sora's hood and waited.


Meanwhile, back at the start of the avalanche, Ping and the captain were catching their breath.

"Thanks Ping." The Captain said between breaths.

"It was nothing." Mulan replied

"I should have never doubted you. From now on, you have my trust."

Before Ping could reply, Mushu emerged from a pile of snow.

"First she uses me as a lighter, then she turns me into a cannonball. The head ancestor's gonna hear about this. You know, that's it! I give up! I can't take this no more. C'mon, Mulan. Let's quit this charade and go home, girl.

"Mushu!" Mulan hissed, but it was too late. The Captain already heard.

"Mulan? A woman? It can't be!"

Well that period of trust was short lived.

Before Mulan could explain, Sora and the others called out to them, running back up the summit.

"Hey, guys. You're okay!" Goofy exclaimed.

"You all knew, didn't you?" The Captain asked. "You knew Ping was really a woman in disguise.

"Uhhhh." They all stuttered, lost for words

"You all lied to me!"

Yeah, that's what I said when my parent's told me that Santa didn't exist.

"The punishment for high treason and dishonoring the army…is death."

Uhh, I didn't sentence my parents to death. Don't worry.

"Get out of my sight now. You're all dismissed."

"But Capta—OW!" Sora exclaimed as Katy stomped on his foot rather hard.

"Do you want him to kill us?" She hissed and Sora shook his head quickly.

The Captain approached the rest of the army (Ugly, Skinny, and Baldy. Go Figure)

"The Emperor is waiting to hear of Shan Yu's defeat. Move out."

"So you're just gonna leave us here to FREEZE?" Katy yelled after the Captains retreating form. "Real nice guy, he is. Repaid his debt my ass. Does he think we won't die out here?"

"Mulan, I blew it." Mushu groaned, feeling sorry for himself.

Yeah, he should keep his big mouth SHUT in the future.

Mulan took off her heavy amour and took her hair out of its high bun.

"Thank you, everyone. I'm sorry I got you in trouble."

"It's no big deal." Sora said, nonchalantly "So Ping…I mean Mulan, what're you gonna do now?"

"Go back home." She sighed

"You know your daddy's gonna be steamed as a chicken dumpling." Mushu quipped

"Don't worry. We're all in this together. We'll take out share of the blame." Katy said, managing a small smile despite at being pissed that they'd been left to die.

"Thanks. You're all wonderful friends." Mulan replied with a smile of her own.

They started down the mountain trail, back towards the camp when they hear an enraged yell from the summit below them. They all rushed towards the edge in time to see Shan Yu emerge from the snow with his Heartless army and continue in the opposite direction.

"How is he still alive?" Katy exclaimed, smacking her forehead.

"He's heading for the Imperial City!" Mulan gasped "We've got to warn Shang!"

"Whose Shang?" Katy asked

"The Captain." Mulan replied, blushing.

Katy smirked, but didn't say anything more on the matter as the changed course for the Imperial City. They reached the Checkpoint and headed east, defeating the occasional heartless on the way until they finally caught up with the army a little ways into the city.

"Shang! Mulan yelled, skidding to a stop in front of the Captain. "Shan Yu is alive! He's headed this way!"

"And why should I believe you this time?" Shang demanded.

"She's telling you the truth!" Sora protested.

"Wak!" Donald exclaimed, pointing to a very familiar hawk as it flew over them.

Shang followed the hawk with his eyes, gasping as it landed on the Hun leader's shoulder.

"Guard the Palace! Do not let the enemy get anywhere near the Emperor!" Shang called to the army, who rushed to follow orders except for a handful of soldiers behind him.

"That was an order!" He said, gasping as his men turned into heartless.

"Captain! We'll secure the courtyard. You go save the Emperor!" Sora instructed, drawing the Keyblade.

"That's an order!" Donald added.

They cleared the courtyard quickly and ran towards the Palace.

"Sora, you are taking this army thing waaaaaay to seriously. We're not actually part of it, remember?" Katy asked bemusedly.

"What do you mean?" He asked

"Secure the courtyard? That's an order? Really?" Katy teased

"Whatever, I got caught up in the moment." He replied with an eye roll

"Or something." Katy laughed, jogging ahead before he could poke her in the ribs.

They reached the entrance to the palace to find Shan Yu holding his knife to the Emperor's throat. Before they could do anything, Shang jumped down from nowhere, punching the Hun leader in the stomach and leading the Emperor to safety inside the Palace.

Apparently, he expected them to kill Shan Yu for him after he left them to freeze to death. What a guy.

The five of them drew their weapons and stood between Shan Yu and the Palace door.

"This ends now." Mulan said, stony faced.

"Right now." Sora added

"Really? 'Cause I was kinda hoping I could go get a smoothie first." Katy put in sarcastically, ignoring Sora's exasperated glare.

Shan Yu laughed (not at Katy's joke, just in general) and began to glow an eerie purple color (Which I'm not sure is nautral…) before lunging at them, weapon drawn.

During the battle, Sora focused his attention on Shan Yu, while Katy and the others took out the never-ending waves of Heartless. They rounded up all of the nearby fireworks and used Katy's fire spell to light them and blow up whatever was stupid enough to get in their way at the time. Katy also couldn't help but take a few swipes at that annoying hawk…for some reason it got a kick out of attacking her hair, which Donald had changed back to its normal shade. Finally, Shan Yu fell (literally) leaving them victorious.

After the army realized they'd killed the Hun leader, Shang and the Emperor emerged from the Palace.

"I've heard a great deal about you, Fa Mulan." The Emperor began, stepping towards them. "You stole your fathers amour, ran away from home, Impersonated an Imperial soldier. You deceived your commanding officer, shamed the entire Chinese army, and dishonored your family name."

Sora crossed his arms and rolled his eyes.

"We get the picture." He mumbled, eliciting a snicker from his girlfriend.

"You are a young woman, and in the end…you have saved us all." The Emperor finished with a smile and a bow as the crowd below them began to cheer.

The Emperor nodded to Shang who picked up Shan Yu's knife and presented it to Mulan.

"Take this, so the world will know what it is you have done for China."

Mulan nodded and smiled at him.

"And Mulan…thank you." Shang said sincerely.

"Is that all you have to say? Captain Li, if you wish to capture the heart of Fa Mulan China's bravest woman, then I think you need to be a bit more eloquent than that!" The Emperor chuckled.

Shang stuttered uncomfortably and everyone laughed.

"Can I get an autograph?" Sora joked, resting a hand on Mulan's shoulder.

"Thanks for everything, Sora." Mulan said sincerely.

"Don't mention it. Sora loves this kind of hero stuff." Katy replied wryly.

In the midst of all this, Shan Yu's sword began to glow and float above the ground, causing Mulan to gasp.

"Don't worry, perfectly normal." Katy reassured her

"What does it mean?" Mulan asked

"Mean's we're being summoned…again…as usual." Katy sighed

"Yeah, looks like it's time to go." Sora agreed, grabbing Katy's hand

"We look forward to your return." Shang said

"Us too. You guys play nice!" Sora replied with a grin, leaving a stuttering pair behind.


As they reached the Gummi ship, Sora suddenly pushed Katy against the side.

"Can I help you?" She asked, a smirk tugging at the corner of her mouth.

Sora's answer was to lean in and kiss her soundly on the mouth for several minutes.

"Um, not that I'm complaining, but what…"

"I wanted to do that since before."

"You mean when I kept you from getting mauled by a guy half your size?"

Sora scowled at her and she laughed, tugging him onto the ship.

"C'mon, lover boy. We've got more worlds to save."


A/N: Okay, so I will post one or two more chapters tomorrow. Please review!
