The Light In The Shadows (Book 2!)

Make A Guardian Out Of You

They were now in a open and beautiful village. "This place is magnificent" Moana's hand ran across the tree with pink petals. "Who lives here?" Cassandra wondered. "And how could darkness be here, in such a beautiful place" Amber twirled around with the wind in her hair. "Maybe we can ask her" James pointed at the black haired worried girl with a scroll in her hand.

"Sofia, Amber, great to see you guys again" the girl bowed her head. "Mulan!" Sofia and Amber smiled. "Is everything okay?" Merida asked. "Actually no, the Village Elder has become ill and needs medicine" Mulan sadly explained. "The only thing that can cure him is a potion at the Imperial City, I must go there and retrieve it, I have asked Li Shang to meet me there." "Maybe we can tag along with you, lass?" Merida asked. "Hmm, sure, I'm about to get my horse, Khan, come on" Mulan led them to the stables where her black horse stood.

"What now?" Elsa asked. "Now, we must travel to the Tung Shao Pass" Mulan explained. "We, uh, some of us still needs rides" Rapunzel said, with one whistle from Elsa, out of a puddle sprung a horse made of water. "You guys have met the Nokk" Elsa laughed as her jumped on her, Maui transformed into a reindeer and keeled it's head down at Moana, Sofia transformed into a big flying horse that Amber and James climbed upon, and Hiccup invited Merida to fly with him on Toothless. "We'll just take the other horses" Rapunzel, Eugene, and Cassandra grabbed the last three horses. "What about you Anna?" Elsa asked, purple fire escaped Anna's hands which made her fly. "Let's get going" Mulan said as there horses started running, and Toothless, Anna, and Jack started flying.

"Hey what's up there!" Sofia pointed at the scroll on top of a pole. "I got it" Mulan climbed up the pole and retrieved the note and read it out loud.

My dearest Mulan

I've heared that the village Elder is ill and that you'd be the one to help. During my journey I've crossed new enemies threatening China, be careful traveling.

Yours always, Li Shang

"What's it say lass?" Merida asked. "Just that we need to be careful, there are new soldiers out there threatening China, let's go" Mulan said as they continued there journey to the Imperial City.

They made there way to the snowy hills. "Just over the hill and we'll be able to see the Imperial City" Mulan explained, but as they made there way up, they heard a sound. An explosion happened, as a wave of snow made it's way down the hill. "AVALANCHE!!!!" Hiccup screamed. "We'll have to find another way" Moana said. "In there" Jack pointed at the cave to the left, but before they could, the snow blocked the entrance. "What now?!?" Rapunzel panicked, Elsa quickly got off her horse and lunged her now glowing hands towards the snow. Elsa's glowing hands made the snow blocking the entrance part. "Hurry!" Elsa urged, everyone, including the Nokk, ran in quickly as did Elsa after they jumped in.

"Nice job, Elsa"Mulan told her, as they made there way forward, they heard footsteps, and quickly hid, they looked to see 6 soldiers, with swords and arrows. "These must be the soldiers Li Shang was talking about, I'll take care of them" Mulan reached in the stealth on her back and took out her bo staff. "Not alone your not" Merida got out her bow and one one of her arrows. The two girls got the drop on the soldiers, Mulan juggled a three soldiers in the air with her bo staff and then knocked them out, and Merida swung her sword at them, then knocking them back, and the fired her arrows at three last soldiers, pinning them against the wall.

"You guys do it?" Jack asked. "You could say that" Merida and Mulan laughed. "Okay, let's get going, we close" the girls got back on their rides and they made there way out the cave, the beautiful sunlight welcomed them as the melted snow became grass. "Just over these hills and we'll be at the Imperial City" Mulan said.

They had finally made it, the Imperial city, but something was wrong. "The city looks empty, I wonder where everyone's at?" Mulan though. Just them, multiple soldiers dropped from the roof of the palace, blocking there way. "This isn't good, Li Shang should be here" Mulan continued ti fight, but she became worried, were was Li Shang. "Stand back!" purple fiery energy formed around Anna uncontrollably, and she let loose a powerful wave of fire, vanquishing the soldiers. "Oh, I'm sorry, did I do that?" Anna panicked, but Elsa told her it was fine and they all made there way inside the palace.

Inside the palace stood the Emperor and Li Shang. "No, Mulan, get out, it's a..." before Li Shang could finish his sentence, the doors slammed shut and a man dropped from the roof. The man had yellow eyes with black sclera, pale gray skin, and dark and abundant hair. He wears a stocky tunic consisting of black on the right and cream on the left with both an eggplant animal pelt brim and cuffs, an eggplant pelt sash, and a fluffy gray pelt scarf with timber wolf stripes. He only dons a black glove on his left hand, presumably for his falcon. He also sports gray trousers and a pair of black boots with gray linings. On occasion, he wears a black hood with a fluffy gray trimming.

"Shan Yu" Mulan sneered at the man, he must be the one who sent the soldiers out for her. "The soldier from the mountain" an angered Shan Yu grabbed Mulan and made his way to the roof.

Shan Yu threw Mulan to the, roof, as Mulan slowly got up, Shan Yu sword aimed for her head, she closed her eyes, waiting for the impact the sword was about to make with her skin and skull, but it never happened. She opened her eyes to see Merida in front of her, Merida had intercepted his sword, she then pushed him back and helped Mulan up. "Nice job, warrior!" Mulan laughed, but no tome for celebration, Shan Yu got back up, and the two strong women got in there battle stance. "Two little girls, who have come to save the dynasty. Merida pointed at the fireworks as she flipped over Shan Yu, while Mulan pinned him to the roof. "Ready, Merida?" Mulan called, Merida put out a bow with the tip on fire and made the fireworks go off, taking Shan Yu with it, his scream echoing throughout the palace.

The two girls jumped back down. "Thank you, girls, is there any way I can repay you" the Emperor asked. "I need a potion for my Village Elder who is terribly ill" Mulan bowed her head at the Emperor, as Merida followed her lead, the Emperor reached in his pocket and handed Mulan a purple vial, and with a big thank you, they left the palace.

Suddenly, a big blue portal opened. "What's that?" Li Shang asked. "It's our ride home" Jack said. "Thank you for helping me, I hope you can return one day" Mulan smiled. "Same here" Merida said as the guardians entered the portal before it closed.
