Chapter 9: Rescue Mission:
Lü Dongbin's POV:
Shen Du has Yuandu and now we have to save him. We had to get past this crowd.
"What happened here," asks Franz.
"These two lovers died and turned to butterflies," a young man says sadly.
"I am so sorry," I said, "but we need to save someone from the demon."
"Oh, they went that way." He pointed to the woods.
"Thank you," I said. We then ran.
Singer/Chorus: Way gone 'bout a thousand years
Ancient Lullaby
Kings & Queens & evil scenes
Darkness filled their minds
Fury & rage from the sky
How could they live just to die
Slay the dragon: Kill the beast
Power knight of heavenly might
Slay the Dragon: Join the feast
It's not human, save us now
We all know that you're divine
Brave Saint John Stood all alone
Offspring sent from Hell
Brimstone, fire, smoke, & cries
In this medieval tale
Armored by God he came to ride
Blessed with a sword to save the bride
Slay the Dragon: Kill the Beast
Power knight prepared to fight
Slay the Dragon: Join the feast
It's not human, save us now
We all know that you're divine!
We then arrived in the woods.
"Stick together," I said, "George, track him down."
"Right," says George.
. . .
We started searching through the woods.
"Did you hear something," asks Franz.
The ninjas came back.
"Them again," says Peter.
"I really hate them," says Franz.
We then fought them off.
"Where do they come from," asks Wilhelm.
"I think there is a spell that can get rid of them," I said. I then found the spell. "Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao, Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao, Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao!" The ninjas then began to melt.
"I'm glad that's over," says Franz.
"Let's go," I said.
. . .
We continued into the woods until we found Shen Du.
"Well, look who it issss," says Shen Du.
"Where's Yuandu," I asked.
"He'ssss fine," says Shen Du, "all I had to do wassss give him ssssome of my chi."
Yuandu turned into some kind of dragon monster and began attacking us.
"Remember who you are," I said, "you're human!"
"He'ssss jusssst like me," says Shen Du.
"Is there a spell to turn him back," asks Franz.
"First, we'll have to get him to want to turn back," I said.
"What do you mean," asks Wilhelm.
"We have to remind him of his humanity," I said.
"Okay, how," asks George.
"The Princess," says Peter, "Yuandu, remember Shouyang!"
That got to him. Yuandu then started fighting the demon. I was able to recite the spell to repel the demon from him. "Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao, Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao, Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao!"
The chi then leaves him and returns to Shen Du.
"Thank you, my friends," says Yuandu.
"It'ssss time to finish thissss," says Shen Du.
"I was thinking the same thing," I said.
