Mulan - Shan Yu Returns

Chapter 19: Reunion (Finale)

A/N: Get tissues. You'll need them. Get up. Get the tissues. And come back.

Jianshi was standing at the palace gate. Before Shan Yu was able to analyze the situation, Jianshi shot an arrow at the Emperor. Before the arrow struck the Emperor's head, Shan Yu pushed him away, and the arrow struck him...

.......

..............

......................right into his chest where his heart was.

"HEY!" Shang said as he shot two darts with a paralyzing potion on it. He brought in case of an emergency. Both got Jianshi, making him faint immediately.

"SHAN YU!" Mulan exclaimed in horror as Shan Yu fell back with an arrow stuck in his chest. "No no no no no no no no no no no... Shan Yu... no..." She grabbed the arrow and pulled it out. Wang Wei came over to examine his wounds.

"Ow... ah..." Shan Yu groaned. As he held his wound on his chest. His wounds were all purple.

"Oh no..." Wang Wei shook his head.

"Wang Wei... please..." Mulan said with tears running down her cheeks. "Please tell me he can live..." Then she turned to Shan Yu and said, "Come on, Shan Yu... you can survive this... you survived the deadly avalanche, and you also survived the raging fireworks... please... you can survive this..."

Wang Wei sighed with regret, as he tried not to cry. "I'm... I'm sorry... I regret to say, he's got poison in his heart. It's going to spread throughout his veins... he only has few moments to live..."

"No... no..." Mulan said as he held his left hand and brought his hand close to her face. Everyone who was standing there was feeling the same emotions as Mulan was feeling.

"I'll... leave you for... a moment," Wang Wei stood up to leave.

"Wang Wei... please... stay with me..." Shan Yu said. He pleaded him to stay beside. He begged him to stay beside him. "I need you to listen... to my last words... please..." One teardrop that came down from his eyes ran down to his earlobe, and to the floor. Although it was barely noticeable, Wang Wei noticed a shine from Shan Yu's eyes that rolled down to the floor that Mulan didn't even realize because she was too occupied crying on Shan Yu's hand. Wang Wei slowly walked up to him and kneeled down next to him.

Yao and Ling were going to go towards Shan Yu to be part of his last moments, but Chien-Po stopped both of them. He lifted them up as their legs were still walking, but in the air.

"What is it?" Yao asked, aggressively struggling.

"I wanna go!" Ling said, also aggressively struggling.

"Now please, Shan Yu needs his moments," Chien-Po said, still lifting them with no problem. "With the most important people he had in his life."

The Fa family could not do or say anything. However, Fa Zhou did approach the Emperor, who was sitting in shock. "Your majesty..." Fa Zhou as he kneeled next to him as he tried to help him up.

"He is now going to die... because of me," the Emperor said in a voice that he cannot forgive himself. "And he saved my life..."

"It is not your fault, your majesty," Fa Zhou said in an encouraging tone.

"Is he really...?" Mei asked in sorrow.

"There is hope, right...?" Su asked in despair.

"I wished there was a way," Ting-ting said in hopelessness.

"Shan Yu, you can survive this, right?" Mulan asked once more. "You're strong. You're invincible. You've been through every problem you can think of. Please... please stay with us..."
