Chapter 6

The next day the sky was clear and bright. The captain announced the where needed at the front line and were head to a mountain village to meet with the rest of the Chinese army.

Mulan managed to get assigned cannons and when she had the moment snuck Melody on the wagon. For a while all she had to do was to keep quiet and still and try not to knock over cannons and try not get caught. Also not to step on Mushu or Cricket.

The soldiers sang songs to pass the time. Melody peeked out and saw that they passed a farmers field of women picking herbs Mushu whistle loudly at them. Mulan blushed hiding her face as the farmer girls giggled thinking it was she. Melody looked down at Mushu smacked him and whisperer,

"No bad lizard!"

For the rest of the trip the soldier sang their song and Melody sat back listening to it. They eventually climbed a mountain and it started to get really cold and started snowing. She shivered and wished she had a blanket.

She laid back and listened to the song until it stopped suddenly along with the carriage. She look out and almost screamed.

The soldiers had stopped at a charred and burning remands of a small village. The sky was red and black from the recent fires. It must have been the village they were supposed to meet at.

They trudge through the snow and into the destroy village. Melody couldn't believe the Huns had destroyed all this and she put her hand over her mouth at the burn remains of the village.

She smelled burn wood as they trudged through the snow. She didn't see any dead bodies, which was good cause she would definitely throw up if she saw one.

The Captain ordered the soldiers to look for survivors. When she saw Mulan go into a destroy house. She couldn't help it. She didn't want to be left alone.

She didn't know how but one minute she was in the cart the next she was trudging through the snow to Mulan. Despite Mushu, and Crickets pleads. She quickly made it to the destroyed house.

She bumped into Mulan and turned around with a shock looked on her face.

"What are you doing here?" She asked quietly.

"I couldn't help it," Melody pleaded, "I needed to be by your side after seeing this!" pointing at the burned hut.

Mulan nodded and picked up a small doll.

"I can't believe the Huns destroyed this entire village." Mulan said brushing off the snow.

Melody nodded and "They are truly monster for doing this."

"Ping did you find any survivors?" The captain yelled sounding close.

Both Mulan and Melody quickly looked for a place to hide but there wasn't. Mulan than got an idea. She quickly grabbed a half torn burn blanket from out of the snow and wrapped it around Melody. Melody knew where this was going and took off her shoes. She undid her bun and made her hair look wild and messy. Mulan covered Melody in the tarp tightly covering her and than started to brush over Melody face.

Melody coughed a few times but by the time they were done she looked completely awful.

Perfect! Melody thought just as the Captain came in on his white horse.

"Found a survivor." Mulan yelled in her man voice.

Captain Shang got off his horse knelt before her and asked gentle,

"Hello their little girl what's your name?"

"Melody." She said in a weak small voice. She gripped the triton bracelet along with her shoes tightly.

"Melody where are your parent?"

"They are not here?" Melody said in a tiny weak voice. She didn't like lying but she didn't have much of a choice. "I was here visiting a friend from a far away place."

"The Huns attacked us yesterday, there was a lot of yelling and people getting killed, my friend hid me while she went to look for her parents but she never came pack."

"I passed out in my hiding spot and woke up a few minutes ago."

The Captain stood up and said, "I don't understand, my father should have been here."

"Captain!" Called Chi-Fu from a top of a hill pointing down at a field. They walked up and Melody gasped in horror. On the field was a blood bath of dead Chinese soldiers. They're where hundreds of dead bodies and broken pieces of wood laid scattered around.

Chien-Po walked up holding a helmet and said, "The General."

Captain Shang held the helmet and then walked over to a cliff while the rest of the soldier walked up and saw the bloody field. They all stared in shock at the dead bodies. Mulan saw this and then looked over at Shang.

He had taken out his sword and placed his father helmet on it. He knelt down and said a prayed.

Mulan and Melody both walked up to him.

"I'm sorry." She said. Melody stood by clutching her blanked tightly with fear mix with sadness.

Shang got up turned walked past them placing a hand on Mulan while giving her a hard look then to Melody. He walked pass the soldiers on to his white horse.

"The Huns are moving quickly, we'll make better time to the Imperial City through the Tung Show pass." He said mounting his horse. "We're the only hope for the Emperor now, Move out!"

The soldiers slowly followed but Mulan and Melody stayed back. It slowly started to snow making it feel even colder. Mulan quietly put the doll by Shang's sword while kneeling down.

Melody put her hand on her shoulder and said, "Common we don't want to get left behind."

Mulan got up, took Melody hand, and they walked back. Melody looked back shedding a single tear. She wiped it away.

When they caught up with the rest of them. The captain doubled back and said to Mulan.

"Ping, Melody is in your care until we get to the city." Mulan nodded.

"We'll try to get in touch with your family and get you home alright Melody."

She nodded while thinking I doubt they'll ever find them.

"If we can't find her family I'll take her to mine." Mulan said in her man voice gripping Melody hand tighter. Melody smiled at that idea.

The Captain nodded turning to lead out his soldiers. That's when she caught Chi-Fu staring at her with disgust. Like having a girl was going to ruin everything. She didn't have the strength to make a face at him so she just kept walking.

As they trenched through the snow Yao walked up to her holding out a pair of clothes and an oversized coat, "Here you go you'll be much warmer in these clothes."

"Thank you." She said while Mulan took them.

She guided Melody to the wagon so she could change. When she got in Ling approached them holding out a pair of big boots.

"For you so you don't have to walk barefoot."

She nodded and took them in. While she changed Mushu quietly told her how she almost blew it for them. Melody pretended to listen while she changed. She put her outfit on over her regular clothes while trying to straighten her hair. She got her boots on which where to big for her. She tied it just right so they wouldn't fall off.

When she was done she tucked her shoes in a bag full of her old clothes while tucking the blanket under some rockets. She kept her bracelet on but hiding it under her new clothes.

When she got out Chien-Po offered to help her but she put her hand up and said, "No thank you."

She got out but her new clothes were big and the coat was really heavy. Her boots made it so she could walk but felt like she was going to fall every time she stepped.

I won't get frostbite. She thought as she caught up with Mulan. She took her hand while the other held on to Khan. She looked down and smiled at her. Melody smiled back. At least we don't have to worry about me getting caught.

After a while they through the path it had stopped snowing. The soldiers still looked sad. Melody understood why after seeing those dead bodies.

She tightened her grip on her clothes as they trenched through the snow. Then suddenly for no reason a rocket suddenly shoots out of the wagon and goes off into the sky.

All the soldiers stared up in shock and confusion as it went off in the sky with a loud bang.

Mulan and Khan looked back at the wagon with accusingly looks on their faces. In the newly burned hole stood wide eye shocked Mushu pointing at Cricket passing the blame to him. Melody covered her face with her hands not believing this had just happened.

Captain Shang and Chi-Fu approached them with mean looks on their faces.

"What happened?" Shang ordered.

All that came out of Mulan was mouth was… "Uuuhhhh." Melody looked down on the ground not meeting the Captain angry eyes.

"You just gave away our position!" Shang yelled with anger in his voice. "Now we're-" He was cut off when an arrow pierced his shoulder, throwing him off his horse.

Melody looked up at the mountain and gasped. She saw on the mountain cliffs were the Huns. They then launched hundreds of arrows onto to soldiers.

"Get out of Range!" Yelled the Captain pointing to a cliff with big rocks.

The soldiers scrambled to get away from the Huns while avoiding the arrows. Melody ran down the hill while Mulan struggled with Khan. Melody clutched her coat while avoiding arrows. One almost hit her foot. Another whizzed by her face.

The Huns then started using flaming arrows on them and one hit the wagon catching it on fire. Mulan tried to get a panic Khan under control but the roof of the wagon was in total flames.

"Save the cannons!" Shang ordered his troops.

The soldiers started to pass the cannons from the wagon to each other. Another arrow whizzed passed Melody faced. She screamed in horror. Mulan saw this grabbed Melody and went to Yoa.

"Take her to the cliffs so she doesn't get hurt." She ordered Yao.

He nodded took her hand and the other holding a cannon ran with her down to the cliffs. Melody didn't want to leave Mulan. She ran with Yao gripping her coat tightly. They reached the cliffs and Yao pushes Melody behind a rock and joins the soldiers.

"Fire." Ordered Shang and off went the cannons at the Huns.

Melody then saw that Chi-Fu was cowering under a rock with fear.

Then Mulan joined her along with Mushu and Cricket. Melody was so happy they were alive. Another soldier took control of Khan.

"Fire." The Captained order again. Mulan and the rest of the soldiers fired off more cannons at the Huns. Melody hid behind the rock covering her ears as it hit the Huns.

There was deadly silence as the smoke cleared from the mountain cliffs.

"Hold the last cannon." Shang ordered at Yao.

There was nothing but silence and Melody clutched Mulans arm and whispered to her.

"Is it over?"

Mulan shook her head. The smoke covered the mountain hill cleared enough that Melody could make out a horse. Then hundred of horses appeared with Hun soldiers on them that covered the entire hilltop. From that distance she could hear them roar. She felt so small at that moment.

"Prepare to fight," Order Shang, "If we die, we die with honor." The soldiers readied their swords. Mulan looked back at Melody and gave her a confident look. She nodded gripping her bracelet if any would come near her she would fight them off.

Then one Hun charged down and the rest followed roaring with anger. The one leading the charge was most likely leader.

"Yao, aim the cannon at Shan Yu." Ordered Shang.

As he did Melody thought there is no way a single cannon and a handful of soldiers were going to take out the entire Hun army. She looked at Mulan and saw her eyes were on the mountain hilltop.

Then she rush forward grabbed Yao cannons and rushed out onto the field towards the Hun. Melody had no idea what she was planning to do but she did not want her to do it alone. She ran right to her not caring if she was going to die.

"Ping! Melody, come back!" Yelled Captain Shang.

They ignored him and ran right to the Hun army. I hope you know what you are doing Mulan! Melody though.

As they ran Melody could see how big the Hun army was and how tough the soldiers were. They charged down like ants from an anthill never ending from the top.

They came to a point that Mulan duck to the ground stop stuck the Cannon in the ground and started aiming it. Mushu pop out onto the ground looking confuse and scared.

"What are we aiming at?" Melody whispered to Mulan on the ground. She was scared to speak up. She could spot the leader charging toward them. She got a good look at him. He was gigantic, and muscular. He pulled out a sword. Beside him flew a falcon.

"Is it going to be him?" She asked pointing at the leader, as he grew nearer along with the army.

Mulan shook her head. "No, that!" She said pointing at the mountain getting a good look at it. It was mostly piled with snow. If the cannon hit it, it could cause an avalanche that would wipeout the whole valley along with the….

"Perfect!" Melody smiled at the idea, as the Huns grew closer.

"Okay, you might want to light that right now," Mushu urgently said from Mulan shoulder, "Quickly, quickly!"

Before Mulan could light the rocket the falcon swooped down and attack them. Mulan and Melody quickly searched for the match as Shan Yu came closer. Melody looked back and saw Shang and three other soldiers were coming to help them.

Mulan dug in the dirt for the match but with no luck. Mulan then looked up at Shan Yu than at Mushu and quickly use him to light the cannon. The timing couldn't be any more perfect cause Shan Yu was right in front them the cannon went off scarring his horse back.

"You missed!" She heard Mulan yelled down as he went off with the cannon his voice became smaller as the cannon flew father away. "How could you miss?"

"He was three feet in front of you!"

Then the cannon hit the mountain top peak with a small bang. Just like that the whole mountain of snow started to fall causing a big avalanche. Melody and Mulan both smiled as the whole Hun army was slowly devoured. Shan Yu looked back in horror and then at Melody and Mulan. Melody could see the angry and hatred in his eyes. Melody got a good look at him and saw he was also big but had pale grey skin that went along with his yellow eyes that showed he had no soul.

He grabbed his sword and swiped at Mulan side. She fell back in pain and Melody ran to her. She grabbed her hand and they both started to run down the hill away from Shan Yu. They passed Captain Shang who followed them down the mountain. She saw all the soldiers ran for cover by the big rock.

Melody looked back a saw the last bit of the Hun army and than Shan Yu was swallowed by the snow. They had single handedly defeated the Hun army.

They ran in fear as the avalanche was catching up to them. Khan ran up to them. Mulan hoisted herself on pulling Melody up. Melody wrapped her arms around Mulan body tightly. She looked back and saw the avalanche was right behind them. Mulan reached out and grabbed Shang hand but it was too late the snow bank both caught up with them. Mulan loses her grip as the snow engulfs them.

Melody didn't know how to describe being inside a snow avalanche. She felt tossed and turned not knowing which way was up or down only she was being pressed forward. She just kept her eyes shut and held on to Mulan pressing her whole body against her. She prayed to god that they would live. She really wished they were out of the snow.

She felt something in her wrist. She gripped the trident bracelet tightly and willed Please let us out of the snow! Next thing she new there was a small blast of light and pair break out of the snow. Khan steady himself as the snow barreled down taking them on a wild ride.

Just as a wave of snow was about to barreled down on them. Melody shot up her hand with the trident bracelet and yelled at the top of her lungs "NO!"

A bright blast shot back the snow. Mulan grinned at her as they rode down. Khan kept trying to run up but the current was too strong for them.

Mulan looked back and yelled, "Shang!"

Melody looked back and saw him unconsciously sliding in the snow. Mulan breaks out of the snow with Khan steering the way to Shang.

Both of them grabbed his body and pull him up front. Mulan quickly looked around and said, "We need to get somewhere safe, can we use the trident?"

Before Melody could answer Mushu came sliding by on a shield with cricket in his hands.

"Mulan, I found the lucky Cricket!" He said, Melody didn't see how luck could help them now.

"We need help!" Mulan yelled at them. Just then an arrow tied with long pieces of rope whizzed by landing on the ground. Melody saw it came from the soldiers where safe behind a big rock avoiding all the snow. Mulan grabbed it and started to tie it around Khan as the cliffs kept getting closer, and closer.

When she was done she looked around and said, "We need a bow!"

Melody looked around but saw no bow she wondered if she could transform the bracelet into a bow. Just then a Hun soldier burst out of the snow just a few feet away from them. In his hand was a bow. Mulan leaned out while Melody held on to her as she got the bow.

When Melody held her she realized she had red stuff all over her hand. She released it was coming from Mulan. It was from when Shan Yu swiped at her.

"You're bleeding!" She yelled at her as she steady herself and ready the arrow.

She turned back and yelled, "What?"

"You're bleeding!" She yelled showing her red bloody hands. Mulan looked at them wide eyed and down at her body. She could see a small dark spot at the side of her body.

Before she could say anything Mushu screamed from behind Melody.

"Aaaaugh!" He yelled as the where inches from the cliff, "We're gonna die, we're gonna to die!"

Mushus yelling pointed Mulan out to their current problem and went back to the bow. Mushu yelling didn't help at all. Melody grabbed Mushu and Cricket. She could see the soldiers all as they started to fall over.

As they fell into the dark abyss Melody thought this was it she was going to die. She would never see her mother or father again. She started to cry but suddenly they stopped falling and where dangling on the rope.

"Is it over?" Melody asked in a weak voice keeping her eyes shut.

She held onto Mushu and Cricket while holding onto Mulan who held Shang as they balance themselves on Khan who kept squirming. She slowly opening her eyes and saw nothing but dark icy fog. After a few seconds they calm down and then the roped started to pull them up.

There was nothing but snowy fog as they were pulled up. Melody was surprised the rope supported all their weight. As they neared the top Mushu congratulated them both.

"I knew we could do it!" Melody rolled her eyes as she held onto Mulan. "You the man… well, sort of."

They both hid in Melody jacket as they reached the top and the soldiers helped them off and onto the mountain cliff.

"Step back guys," Ling said, "give them some air!"

Ling was right once Melody was on the ground her whole body felt wobbly and she felt like she was going to throw up any second.

Mulan and Shang both were on the ground as Shang re-gain consciousness.

He looked at Mulan hard and said, "Ping, you are the craziest man I ever met."

Mulan looked down in shame. "And for that I owe you my life, from now on, you have my trust."

All the soldiers cheered in honor. Melody stood up. She really was proud of Mulan.

As Shang helped Mulan up she collapsed to the ground. Melody and the soldiers gasped.

"Ping, what's wrong?" Shang asked concerned.

Mulan looked to her side and saw blood spot grew and had blood on her hand.

Shang saw this and yelled, "He wounded, get help."

Melody gasped and looked at her hand. It still had blood on it. She had completely forgot about it and if only she had a second alone with Mulan she could heal her.

Melody rushed to her side as she started to pass out from blood loss.

Shang kept saying hold on as the soldiers set up a tent for the doctor.

Please don't die. Melody though and clutched her brace let as they carried her in.

That's it for now. I will be going to Disney world May 1st so I won't be up dating soon. But I will finish this story. Please read and review my chapter.
