16. Mulan Is Left To Die
Mulan is left behind in the snowy mountains, with her horse, Mushu, and the lucky cricket. The army has moved out with her, leaving her stranded in the middle of nowhere. She is far from home but decides that she must make the painful journey back.
She decides to head back home when the Huns, who had been buried in the avalanche, re-emerge from their snowy graves. They are alive and well and are intent on making their way to the Imperial City so that they can capture the emperor. She is the only one who knows that the army is not defeated, as she had thought. Now, only Mulan can save China.
