Cherry's Adventures of Mulan

chapter 8

Shane and the army walked along. They were quiet since they discovered the village was in nearly bad ruins. Suddenly, everyone was shocked as a firework rocket spiraled out and exploded. Everyone was shocked, but Mulan, Cherry, and Peach glared back to see Mushu and Crickey. Mushu pointed to Crickey, like he were blaming the insect for it and not himself.

"What happened!?" Shane glared at the girls.

"Uh..." the girls tried to explain, but couldn't.

"You just gave away our position!" Shane scolded. "Now we're--"

Suddenly an arrow was launched, making Shane fall off his horse. The Huns came speeding toward the army to battle them all and kill them.

"AWESOME!" Peach sounded eager since her life was now going to be threatened.

"Get out of range!" Shane commanded.

The army tried to run off. The Huns came quickly and it was nearly doomsday. Mulan tried to hurry and help Kahn as he was stuck with his carriage. Shane barked orders and Mulan headed for Kahn with the girls as they tried to escape the very best they could and not get hurt. Mulan grabbed Mushu and Crickey as Cherry and Peach ran as fast as their legs could carry. Chi-Fu looked very cowardly compared to the others.

"Fire!" Shane ordered as the men got to the cannons.

Remembering their training, the soldiers fired their cannons to ambush the Huns. The Huns weren't on the cliff anymore, and it was peaceful. A little too peaceful. Suspiciously peaceful, in fact. 

"Hold the last cannon." Shane ordered Yao.

Everyone was quiet and waited. The Huns' leader's bird was in the air and cawed, summoning doom on the army. 

"Prepare to fight," Shane told the men. "If we die, we die with honor."

"DIE!?" Cherry shrieked.

"Yes, we're going to die," Peach told her with a smile. "Isn't it awesome!?"

Cherry whimpered as her face paled.

Mulan thought of something and ran with Yao's cannon toward the Huns.

"Ping, come back!" Shane yelled. "PING!"

Mulan kept going and didn't listen to Shane. Cherry and Peach stayed behind, looking a little scared and worried of their incoming doom. Suddenly, there was a boom from Mulan's cannon and an avalanche befallen on everyone. Cherry and Peach grew nervous and ran with the other men as the snow nearly flooded them all. They all came out okay, but something was missing.

"Zan, where's Shun?" Shane asked Cherry.

"I-I-I..." Cherry felt lost and insecure without Peach by her side.

The soldiers came with Mulan who looked dizzy and nearly faint. 

"Step back, guys, give him some air." Ling told the others.

"Ping, are you okay?" Cherry asked.

Mulan lightly breathed, but she was very much alive. She smiled at her friends.

"Ping," Shane stepped forward. "You are the craziest man I ever met. And for that, I owe you my life. From now on, you, Zan, and Shun have my trust."

"Let's hear it for Ping, Zan, and Shun!" Ling cried. "The bravest of us all!"

"You're the King of the Mountain!" Yao added.

Mulan was happy, but suddenly ached in her side. She clutched her sides and removed her hands to show crimson liquid. She had been bleeding.

"He's wounded!" Shane told the others. "Get help!"

Cherry helped Mulan keep balance as the poor woman nearly stumbled and fell, with her eyes wide. 

"Hold on, Ping," Shane told Mulan as his voice grew shallow and she was blacking out. "Hold on... We'll find Shun later..."

In a hidden spot, there was the enemy leader of the Huns, Shan Yu. He looked very threatening and easily intimidating. "Will you shut up!?" he hissed as he had kidnapped Peach.

"I can't, this is too awesome!" Peach giggled. "Finally, I get kidnapped!"

"BE QUIET, YOUNG MAN!" Shan Yu snarled at her.

"Hey, can you hold me at gunpoint? That would be awesome!" 

"UUUGGHHHH!!!"

"Dude! You should hold a knife to my throat, it would be epic!"

"I shoud've kidnapped the one with glasses..." Shan Yu murmured as he had tied up Peach and threw her with his men. "Shut the kid up."

"I am not a kid, I am a young adult!" Peach sneered, then grinned once she saw a knife. "Ooh, are you gonna strap me to a wheel and throw blades at me while you spin me around?"

The men groaned and rolled their eyes at her. 

"This is awesome!" Peach squealed like an excited fan girl.

The men grunted as they had the most annoying kidnap of their lives.
