The Lost Fruits

At the riverside, Ace, Jasmine, and Blue were looking at the water with confused faces "What are those black lines?" Jasmine asked, she bent down and reached to touch it before she Ace punched her lightly on the head "OW!!" She grabbed her head with teary eyes.

"What are you? a 5 years old kid? Blue said these are the problems? and you want to touch them?" Ace frowned at her.

"I just wanted to see what they are."

"No excuses." Ace retorted.

"Che!!" Jasmine pouted and looked the other way "But anyway, this Te-Fifi you were talking about...what is the deal with it? Jasmine spoke to Genie who was in his human form.

"It's Te-Fiti, but anyways, Te-Fiti is the heart of Nature. She is the being hat provides al lands with life and nourishment since Millions of years." Blue Said. He looked at Ace "If something happened to Te-Fiti, the world's natural balance will be ripped apart and al life forms will die following her. These black lines are probably related to her." He said.

Ace bent down and touched the black lines with his hands coated with Haki. "Hey! that's not fair! why do you get to touch and I am not." Jasmine felt betrayed at this.

"Because I can do this, and you don't." Ace showed her his Black Haki coated hand and pinched her nose before turning to Genie "Heu, Blue, These things seem like they are draining the life force out from this place."

"Yeah...If this continues on, this will spread to the whole kingdom." Blue responded.

"We can't let that happened." Jasmine shook her head "If we lose more lands like this, we might starve."

Ace sighed, it seems there is no shortage of troubles in this world. 'And here I thought this is a peaceful world.' he thought "Alright, where is this Te-Fifi located?" Ace asked Blue.

"It's Te-Fiti!" Blue shouted with an annoyed expression "Get the names Straight! And I am not Blue, It's Iblis!" He said.

"Yeah, yeah! Just where is this Fifi located?" Ace cleaned his ear with a bored face.

"..."Genie wanted to strange this little shit in front of him now, but he needs to calm down, he can't let him provoke him, he has the dignity to maintain as a Genie of the Lamp "Fine! Te-Fifi--I mean, Te-Fiti is located in the center of the world."

Jasmine frowned "Center?... You mean down below?" She pointed to the ground.

"HAH!! The Hell!! I am not going to the bottom of the earth!" Ace added after her. Blue face-palmed while shaking his head.

"I meant the center, you know, the middle of this shitty land, there! in the ocean!!" Blue pointed at the Ocean with his hand.

"Well, maybe you should have said so from the beginning." Ace shrugged his shoulders. Saying so made Genie start to elevate slowly "That's it! Stop the earth! I wanna leave!" He mumbled as light started surrounding him.

"Come back dude! I am making Seafood paella for dinner." Ace waved at him saying.

Blue froze stopped and then descended slowly "Damn you for being a good cook." He said.

China - Tibet Province

-------------------------

What was supposed to be the most beautiful and flourishing land in China is no more. Nothing of the old Tibet has remained, after all, how can it be when two great armies are clashing in the heart of this land.

"PUSH FORWARD!!" General Shang Li shouted wit his sword up in the sky "KILL Shan YU'S MEN TO THE LAST OF THEM!!" he shouted as Chines Soldiers passed by him and advanced toward the army of savages coming their way.

Both armies clashed and started hacking each other to pieces.

"DIE YOU INVADING MONGRELS!!"

"CHINA WILL NOT FALL!!"

Such words were shouted by the Chinese soldiers, they hatred for the Hun army and pride in their nation did not allow them to back down, even if their comrades fell to the swords of the enemy, they did not waver and continued to slash and stab every man who had a different uniform.

"ARCHERS!! TAKE OUT THE HUNS IN THE BACK!!!" Shang Li shouted.

And in the middle of the heated battle, One soldier; Mulan was fighting for her life. Everything was in chaos, She was so scared but still, she never let go of her sword "MULAN!! DUCK DOWN!!" Mushu's voice resounded from her back, she didn't hesitate and ducked down evading a slash that almost took her head off. She then counter-attacked and stabbed the Hun soldier in his armpit making him drop his sword and then with a swift slash of her sword she cut off his head.

Mushu moved to her shoulder "MOVE IT!! STICK TO YOUR SQUAD!!" He pointed at the group of Chines Soldiers in front of them "DON'T FIGHT ALONE!!" He said. Mulan's little guardian dragon was doing his best in this bloody battle. Just one mistake and Mulan is dead.

"Got it!" Mulan ran and joined her comrades and helped them kill the Hun Men.

The only thing that is working for the Chines Army is its number, they overwhelm the Huns' with 5-1, still, it is not the whole army of both sides, but it is working.

The Battle continued on for hours before finally...It ended. And it was just in time for the sunset. Victory for this battle goes to the Chines Army this time. Mulan dropped to the ground with a dead tired expression.

She felt pain in her side, she reached with her hand and she saw blood "I got hit..." She mumbled, she took out her armor just enough to reveal her wounded part. There was a long cut that goes from her rib cage to the back of her shoulder "...Mushu..." She called. Mushu sneaked to her and took a look.

"Tsk! This must be treated..." He said with a worried expression "But they may know w--" Before he can finish his words, Shang Li came to them.

"Is everyone okay? are there any wounded?" He asked.

Mulan looked at her squad, some were wounded and they were escorted to the camp to get treated. She then noticed Shang Li looking at her "Soldier Ping...Are you wounded?" He asked. Once he saw her holding her side, he asked.

"...No, sir!" Mulan clenched her teeth and spoke.

"Good. Help retrieving our fallen soldiers and then go back to the camp! It looks like Shan Yu was not here." He said before leaving.

Mulan sighed with pain. Mushu came to her shoulder and patted her head "Don't worry baby girl! I got you! As long as I am here, you don't need to worry!"

"Thank you, Mushu." Mulan stood up slowly and sheathed her sword before she started walking to help out retrieving the bodies of her comrades.

"Alright! Here is the deal...Tonight, You sneak out of the camp while I go to the infirmary tent, I will the necessary stuff and then I can treat your wound. Just don't stress yourself. okay?" Mushu spoke hurriedly while looking around previously, they are in the open, so the chances of him being seen are high.

Mulan smiled, at least she doesn't need to worry about her wound now "...Thank you!" Tears fell on her cheeks slowly as she wiped them out...As they say...She tried to Man up!
