Chapter 7: The Imperial Army
Ky, Noel, Elena, Ken, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Grace, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Zuko, Sly, Bentley, Murray, and Lucas leave Spiral Mountain and return to the space area while the Gummi ship also returns to the space and they start to find a new world to go to and they later find another world but there's another gateway and so the Gummi ship goes into the gateway while Ky and Noel transform into rays of light and go in.
The rays of light and the Gummi ship go through the gateway while dealing with Black Xeti dark rays, Havik dark rays, Heartless ships, and Nobody ships and keep going through the gateway but the rays of light and the Gummi ships fight off the enemies and they continue going through the gateway and later on the rays of light and the Gummi ship manage to get through the gateway and have now unlocked the way for the new world.
With the way unlocked the group go for the next world which looks like a Chinese palace and Ky and Noel use their Keyblades to create a light trail and a light portal and the group follow the light trail and go into the light portal while the Gummi ship follows after to land in the world.
Meanwhile a village is being burnt to the ground and coming to the burning village is a hawk flying through and lands on a shoulder of a man with pale skin, having yellow eyes, wearing a yellow and grey hooded coat, and black gloves who is standing among the burning village with an evil smile on his face.
Meanwhile in a bamboo forest a person with black hair that's tied to a bun and wearing green and black armor is watching over the burning village.
"See that, Mulan? That's Shan-Yu, Leader of the Hun army." A voice and it reveals to be a shadowy dragon figure on a stoned wall. "C'mon, girl! I know this is your big chance! I can just see it now: 'Fa Mulan whoops public enemy number one'! You're gonna be famous and I'm talkin' A-List!" The shadowy dragon figure said.
"Mushu, I'm not even sure about this. I haven't even joined the army yet. I have to take my father's place to preserve the Fa family honor. I just hope I don't get discovered." The person said.
"Whatever! You're just scared. Admit it." The shadowy dragon said.
"Aren't you?" The person asked.
Meanwhile in a different bamboo forest the light portal appears and Ky, Noel, Elena, Ken, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Grace, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Zuko, Sly, Bentley, Murray, and Lucas fly out of the light portal before it disappears and Sora, Donald, and Goofy appear.
"Another world." Ky said.
"Yep. Let's take a good look around." Sora said and everyone nods.
The group explore around the bamboo forest and later on they see someone with a shadowy dragon figure.
"A Heartless?" Donald asked.
"Or a Black Xeti?" Zatch asked.
"Whatever it is, let's get the jump on 'im!" Sora said as he, Donald, Ken, Zatch, T.J., and Murray start to move.
"Gawrsh! We should look before we leap!" Goofy said.
"Goofy's right. We don't know what that could be!" Noel said but they're gone.
"Idiots." Shadow said.
"We'd better go after them before something bad happens." Tails said.
"Right. Let's go." Ky said and the rest go.
The person then sees Sora, Donald, Ken, Zatch, T.J., and Murray charge making the person and a small red dragon with blue horns huddle but Ky and Noel get in between.
"Stop!" Ky yelled.
"You guys are such idiots." Elena said.
"Screw you, bitch!" Ken said.
"What were you thinking, Zatch?!" Kiyo demanded.
"Sorry, Kiyo." Zatch said.
"We don't know if that was an enemy or not." Noel said.
"Hey, is that Mushu?" Goofy asked.
"What?" Sly asked.
"That's right! I know you've heard of me! I'm little, lethal, and LEGENDARY! Now, y'all scram before I get my dragon dander up!" The red dragon named Mushu said.
"Hey, Mushu! We missed you!" Sora said.
"Yeah, well, you'd better hope I miss YOU or else you're…" Mushu stops talking as he looks at Sora, Donald, and Goofy. "Sora! Donald! Goofy!" Mushu cheered.
"Do you know them?" The person asked.
"KNOW them?! Man, we used to kick all kinds of bad guy butt together! Yeah, I helped these guys get outta a lot of tight spots because I'm a mighty dragon, right?" Mushu said.
"Something like that." Sora answered.
"It's nice to meet one of Sora's friends." Ky said.
"But, we don't have your name." Noel said to the person.
"I'm Mulan…um, no! I mean I'm um…" The person stops talking but then Mushu cuts in.
"Ping!" Mushu said pointing his finger up.
"Mulan Ping?" Donald asked.
"That's quite a name." Max said.
"Just Ping! I am Ping! Son of Fa Zhou!" 'Ping' said.
"You know Mushu?" Sora asked.
"Mushu is one of my family's guardians." 'Ping' said.
"Oh, we didn't know we were borrowin' somebody as important as a family guardian." Goofy said.
"Yeah, that's right! And that puts you three up to your eyeballs in debt to Ping here. Well, guess what, kiddies, it's payback time!" Mushu said.
"Mushu…" 'Ping' warned.
"Aw, they don't mind. Ain't that right?" Mushu asked.
"Sounds fair." Sora said.
"What are you up to?" Ky asked.
"See, Ping here was just on his way to the Imperial army. We'd better find the other recruits over at the training camp." Mushu said.
"Would you join us? It would be easier to fit in if I'm with guys like you." 'Ping' said.
"What do you mean 'fit in'?" Sora asked.
"I think I know…" Tails said.
"Same here." Bentley said.
"Oh, no! See, don't worry about that." Mushu said.
"Too late! We already know." Tails said.
"Yeah! You're pretendin' to be a boy, aren't ya?" Goofy asked.
"What?!" Ken asked shocked.
"You're a…girl?!" Sora asked shocked.
"No, Sora. She's an old man!" Elena said sarcastically.
"You didn't notice?" 'Ping' asked.
"Not me." Sora said.
"You people are predictable." Shadow said.
"You guys have to see through a disguise." T.J. said.
"I think it's working." 'Ping' said.
"I don't know. Those two would fall for anything, and the one with the white hair isn't a smart one." Mushu said.
"What'd you say, shorty?!" Ken demanded.
"Hey, I'm right here!" Sora yelled.
"Hey!" Donald yelled.
"We'd better accompany them." Ky said.
"Yeah. Let's go see what this army is." Murray said.
"This should be interesting." Zuko said.
(World of Land of Dragons)
(Field Theme: Home of the Dragons)
(Land of Dragons: Bamboo Grove)
('Ping' has joined you!)
Weapon: Sword of the Ancestors
Ky, Noel, Sora, Donald, Goofy, Elena, Ken, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Grace, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Zuko, Sly, Bentley, Murray, Lucas, and 'Ping' make their way through the bamboo grove and they later go for the next place.
(Land of Dragons: Encampment)
The group arrive at a camp area with many tents and they see many soldiers in line.
"What're they in line for?" Sly asked.
"I think they're standing in attention." Zuko said.
"I see." Blaze said.
"Let's go join in." T.J. said.
'Ping' was about to join in but Mushu pops out.
"Remember, girl. MANLY!" Mushu said.
'Ping' starts walking in a weird manner to go for the line.
Sora, Ky, and Noel get in line.
"'Bout time we got some grub!" A short man with a left black eye and wearing red and black armor said getting front of the group.
"Hey! No cutting!" Sora yelled.
"Get out!" Donald yelled.
"Piss off, asshole!" Ken yelled.
The short man delivers a punch at Sora knocking him down.
"Hey! That's unnecessary!" Ky yelled.
The short man then delivers a punch at Ky knocking him down.
"Ky!" Elena yelled. "You're in for it now!" Elena then charges at the short man while Donald and Ken do the same.
"I'm gonna kick your ass, bastard!" Ken yelled.
"Back off, girl!" The short man yelled.
"Screw you! Shut your damn mouth! No one hits Ky and gets away with it!" Elena yelled as she delivers a punch at the short man.
Elena, Ken, and Donald keep fighting the short man while everyone else is watching.
"Go, Elena! Go ,Ken! Go, Donald!" Zatch cheered.
"Beat that jerk down!" Murray cheered.
"Why are you supporting this?" Noel asked as she helps Ky and Sora up.
"This is just…stupid." Zuko said face palming.
"I'm scared just watching this…" Lucas said covering his eyes.
"Hey, a space in line!" Another man but is skinny and wearing yellow and black armor said.
"I wonder what they're serving for lunch today." Another man who is bald, overweight, and wearing blue and black armor said.
"Knuckle sandwiches!" The short man said as he charges at the skinny man.
"Hey! I'm NOT done with you!" Elena yelled as she charges at the short man.
"Your ass is mine!" Ken yelled
"That does it!" Sora said as he gets into the fight.
"I'll teach you a lesson!" Murray yelled getting into the fight.
Sora, Elena, Donald, Murray, and Ken are now fighting with the short man and the skinny man and the fight keeps going while everyone else is watching in concern or annoyance for unnecessary violence.
"Someone has to do something…" Noel said.
"I'll handle this." Ky said as he goes to sort out the fight.
"Please!" 'Ping' said making everyone look at 'him' and the fight stops.
"Please?!" The skinny man scoffed and laughs.
"What a girl!" The short man said.
"Oh, um…knock it off!" 'Ping' said trying to be manly.
"Knock what off?" The short man asked.
"You punched me and Ky!" Sora said.
"You were cutting in line!" Donald said.
"You're a straight up asshole!" Ken said.
"You also have a temper, worse than this idiot!" Elena said pointing at Ken on the idiot part.
"What a shrimp!" The skinny man said.
"Hey! Who're you callin' shrimp, panda lips?! I'm a bona fide guardian dragon!" Mushu yelled but 'Ping' puts him back in.
"Look, let's just get back in line, okay?" 'Ping' said.
"I agree. Just settle down." Ky said.
"Whose side are you two on?! I got slugged and so did you, Ky!" Sora said
"Want some more?" The short man asked.
"Don't make me beat the crap out of you again!" Elena said.
"A girl can't fight!" The short man said.
"Soldiers, get back in line!" A voice commanded.
Everyone turns to see a man wearing black armor and a red cape.
"The Captain!" The skinny man said.
Everyone gets in line while Donald makes sure that the short man stays in line and the Captain examines the lined soldiers and the group and then leaves.
As Sora is about to deliver a punch.
"Hey, Sora, maybe there's something you can take your fight with." Ky said pointing at Phantom Black Xetis and Shadow Heartless appearing.
(Battle Theme: Fields of Honor)
"What are they?" 'Ping' asked taking out 'his' sword.
"Heartless!" Sora answered taking out Kingdom Key.
"Black Xetis!" Ky said taking out Dawn of Hope.
"Oh, yeah?" The skinny man asked as the three leave.
"What a bunch of cowards." Elena said.
"Ping, I hope you're ready." Noel said.
The Phantom Black Xetis attack with their chains while the Shadow Heartless attack with their claws but Ky slashes with Dawn of Hope while Sora slashes with Kingdom Key while Noel casts Fire but the Phantom Black Xetis shoot black beams but Zuko unleashes a barrage of fireballs while Shadow uses Chaos Rift while T.J. dash slashes with his knife but the Shadow Heartless sink into the ground and then rise from the ground but Sly attacks with his cane while Max bashes with his shield while Goofy uses Goofy Bash but the Phantom Black Xetis attack with their chains but Donald casts Thunder while Elena shoots magic bolts but the Shadow Heartless leap attack but Storm uses Volt Tackler while Lucky uses Egg Throw but the Phantom Black Xetis shoot black beams while the Shadow Heartless attack with their claws but Blaze unleashes flame waves while Lucas uses PK Love while Grace uses Tackle but the Shadow Heartless sink into the ground but as they rise up Tails shoots shots from his blaster while Bentley throws bombs but the Phantom Black Xetis disappear but Ken shoots magic music notes while Kiyo has Zatch use Zaker while Murray triple punches but then more Heartless appear and it's Nightwalker Heartless and they attack by spinning but 'Ping' tries to attack with 'his' sword but a Nightwalker Heartless attacks 'Ping' but Sora slashes with Kingdom Key while Ky slashes with Dawn of Hope and then delivers a vertical slash while Noel triple slashes with Radiant Salvation and then casts Water and the group defeat the Black Xetis and Heartless.

"You're all welcome in my troop. Your fighting skills are encouraging. I am Captain Li Shang." Shang introduced.
"Hey! What about us?!" Elena demanded.
"Um, we fought with them too." Noel said.
"Your fighting skills are also encouraging, but it is forbidden for women to join the Imperial army." Shang said.
"What?!" Ky asked.
"That's bullcrap!" Elena yelled.
"Well, it is the law. We'll have to comply." Blaze said.
"What're you gonna do?" Sora asked.
"Don't about us. Elena, Blaze, Grace, and I will explore most of the world." Noel said.
"Please don't leave me here!" Lucas said.
"Lucas, it's okay. Just stay with Ky and Sora. I'll be back with you." Noel said.
"You be careful." Tails said.
"You too. But, first…" Elena then casts Thunder on the short man named Yao.
"Ow!" Yao yelled.
"That was for punching Ky, bastard!" Elena said as the girls leave the camp.
"Now then…" Shang was cut off.
"I am the son of Fa Zho…" 'Ping' was cut off.
"You should return home." Shang said.
"But…that would dishonor my family." 'Ping' said.
"You'd rather dishonor my troops?" Shang asked.
"Don't make me…" 'Ping' said.
"Hey, lemme suggest something; if Ping works hard and does his best, then he'll get stronger." Ky said.
"Hmm…" Shang thinks.
"Just give us an assignment! We'll show you how well we work together." Sora said and everyone nods.
"So, you want to be tested?" Shang asked and thinks again. "Our orders are to ambush Shan-Yu's army on their way here. They should be coming through the mountain pass." Shang said.
"We'll smash them!" Donald yelled.
"Yeah! We'll kick the crap outta 'em!" Ken said.
"I doubt that. You will be advance party. Scout out the mountain for my troops." Shang said.
"That's it? No problem." Sora said.
"Yeah. It'll be a piece of cake, right, Ping?" T.J. asked.
"Right…" 'Ping' said.
"I'll brief you with the details later. Come speak to me when you are ready to depart. Remember, the smallest mission may have the greatest purpose. Stay alert!" Shang said.
"SIR!" Everyone said.
(Land of Dragons: Checkpoint)
Noel, Elena, Blaze, and Grace arrive at a different area and they look around.
"This sucks! I can't believe we aren't allow to join the army! Now, how am I supposed to be with Ky?!" Elena asked.
"Don't worry, Elena. We'll rejoin the others later." Blaze said.
"For now, we should probably be on the lookout for Black Xetis and Heartless. We should also look out for Brotherhood of Disharmony and Organization XIII." Noel said.
"Eevee!" Grace said pointing at something.
"What?" Noel asked and they see a hooded crimson and black star cloaked figure making way for a different area.
"A member of the Brotherhood!" Elena said.
"Let's go after him." Noel said.
"Agreed." Blaze said.
Noel, Elena, Blaze, and Grace follow after the hooded crimson and black star cloaked figure and go for the different area.
(Land of Dragons: Valley)
The group arrive at a valley area and begin to search for the hooded crimson and black star cloaked figure but then Assault Rider Heartless appear and attack the group with their lances but Noel slashes with Radiant Salvation and then casts Blizzard while Elena casts Water while Blaze delivers flame kicks while Grace uses Growl and they defeat the Assault Rider Heartless and continue going through the valley and later on they confront the hooded crimson and black star cloaked figure and it's the overweight hooded crimson and black star cloaked figure.
"Oh, there's somethin' to eat around here…" The dim-witted and overweight hooded crimson and black star cloaked figure said.
"Hold it, you Brotherhood bastard!" Elena yelled.
"Oh, no! It's you again…! I don't have time to deal with you! I'm hungry right now!" The overweight and dim-witted hooded crimson and black star cloaked figure said and begins to leave.
"Don't let him get away!" Blaze said.
"Eevee!" Grace said.
"He's heading this way! Let's go." Noel said as they go through the valley.
Meanwhile Ky, Sora, Donald, Goofy, Ken, Max, Tails, Shadow, Storm, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Zuko, Sly, Bentley, Murray, Lucas, and 'Ping' are doing assignments for Shang in the checkpoint area and the encampment and later on they complete their missions and report to Shang.
"You did well." Shang said.
"I knew it!" Sora said.
"That's how well we work together." Ky said and everyone nods.
"Captain…" 'Ping' stops talking.
"I suppose you've made little progress." Shang said.
"Not a little! A lot!" Donald said.
"Ping's been working with us, and he's doing his best!" Tails said.
"No, you're right, Captain. Please give me one more assignment. I'll show you what I'm truly made of." 'Ping' said.
"Very well, I'll give you one more chance. Come to me when you're ready to depart. Remember, this may be a test, but it's still an important mission. Be alert!" Shang said.
"SIR!" Everyone said.
The group leave the camp area and make their way for the mountain area.
(Land of Dragons: Mountain Trail)
The group arrive at the mountain trail but then a hawk flies over them and lets out a screech.
Nightwalker Heartless and Werewolf Black Xetis appear and attack the group but Ky and Sora both slash with their Keyblades and then they both cast Earth to get rid of the rocks and continue going through the mountain trail but then Nightwalker Heartless appear and attack the group but 'Ping' attacks with 'his' sword but a Werewolf Black Xeti attacks with its claws but Ky casts Fire while Sora slashes with Kingdom Key and the group continue going through until later on they reach at the of the trail.
Just then Yao, Ling, and Chein-Po arrive.
"Hey, you ain't half bad." Yao said.
"You're like a man among men!" Ling said.
"Thanks!" 'Ping' said. "But the Captain…" 'Ping' stops talking.
"Captain!" Sora said.
"Speak of the devil." Ky said as Shang arrives.
"Ping sure did great!" Goofy said.
"You bet he did!" Donald said.
"Please give him some credit." Lucas said.
"Fine. I'll let you join my troops, but I'm still not convinced you have what it takes to be a worthy soldier." Shang said.
"Why not?!" Sora asked.
"You're such a…" Ken was cut off.
"It's alright. I'll find a way to show him what I'm made of. Just give me a chance." 'Ping' said.
"That's the spirit, Ping." Shang said.
"Sir!" 'Ping' said.
"Good going, Ping!" Ling said.
"Thanks." 'Ping' said.
Meanwhile Noel, Elena, Blaze, and Grace chase down the overweight and dim-witted hooded crimson and black star cloaked figure through the valley and they later arrive at the mountain trail while they are fighting off Black Xetis and Heartless and they later on arrive at the end of the trail.
"He couldn't have gone far." Blaze said.
"Hurry!" Noel said as they go up the mountain.
(Land of Dragons: Village)
Meanwhile in a village the group are talking to Mushu.
"Okay, girl! Here's our chance! I just saw this real shady guy. I know it's Shan-Yu." Mushu said.
"Shan-Yu?!" 'Ping' asked shocked.
"He must be the Hun leader." Zuko said.
"We gotta tell the Captain!" Sora said.
"Wait, wait, wait, wait, WAIT!" Mushu yelled. "Everyone use their heads for a sec. Now, why're we here? We're here to make the Captain see Mul…I mean Ping's talents, and bring honor to her family." Mushu said.
"That makes sense." Sly said.
"So, let's go find out where Shan-Yu is by ourselves. Then, if we're lucky, we can fry him up good! Though tracking down the guy down earn us our stars. Captain Musclehead will have to notice my girl!" Mushu said.
"Well, Ping?" Max asked.
"Let's go." 'Ping' said.
"We'll come along." Ky said.
"Yeah!" Sora said.
"Now, we're cookin'!" Mushu said.
"We just have to find out where he is." Kiyo said.
"I saw Shan-Yu go into a cave outside the village!" Mushu said.
"Let's get going, then!" Ky said and everyone nods.
Meanwhile Noel, Elena, Blaze, and Grace arrive at the village and they look around to find the Brotherhood member but while looking around Noel sees Ky, Sora, 'Ping', and the others go out the village.
"Ky, Sora!" Noel said.
"What are they doing?" Blaze asked.
"I dunno, but we gotta help them! Screw what that Captain said! I'm NOT leaving Ky's side!" Elena said as she goes through the village.
"Elena, wait!" Noel said as they go through the village.
The group then arrive at the cave entrance.
"There!" Mushu said.
"Let's go!" Sora said as he, Donald, Goofy, and 'Ping' go into the cave.
Ky and the others are about to follow.
"So hungry!" A voice said and the group turn to see overweight and dim-witted hooded Brotherhood member wandering.
"The Brotherhood!" Shadow said.
"What're you doing here?!" Ky asked.
"Oh, no! Not you too! I don't have time for this!" The dim-witted and overweight hooded Brotherhood member said as he goes upward the mountain.
"Stop!" Ky yelled.
"Um, what about Sora and Ping?" Lucas asked.
"They'll have to take care of themselves for now. Let's deal with that Brotherhood bastard first!" Ky said.
"Ky!" Someone said and it's Elena.
"Elena." Ky said and Noel, Blaze, and Grace arrive.
"Noel!" Ken said.
"We're trying to go after the Brotherhood member." Noel said.
"Same here! Let's go together!" Ky said and Noel nods and the group go up the mountain after the overweight and dim-witted Brotherhood member.
