Coyote raised his one eyebrow when the icicle impaled his arm and freed the sun sword. Mister Xanatos wouldn't be pleased with this development. Nor with the fact that the local girl just swiped the weapon and took off running. Well, best to call in and report.
"Mister Xanatos, we've got a little problem. A local just stole a sword I recovered from the temple interior. The researchers said it was used to imprison that dragon and I think she has a mind to put it back to sleep. I'm a little too damaged to go after her though, if you find time could you send the robotics crew in?" ****************************************************************************************
The helicopter had moved into position and was currently lowering cables and a mechanical claw to carry the dragon, the staff on the ground had recovered their morale enough to help secure him. It would be a strain on fuel but a company cargo vessel just offshore would handle the rest of the slack. Xanatos sat nearby letting his suit run damage diagnostics as he received the communication from inside.
"I'll send someone down as soon as we can. Just wrapping up the cargo here."
Xanatos turned towards the temple stairs, seeing Mulan running full speed towards him and the dragon. The sword could come in useful if it was originally used to defeat Shen Dao, the metaphorical stick until he could find an appropriate carrot. Suddenly a warning message flashed from inside his helmet, he put it back on to read it cleary.
Metabolic activity from target. Possible rapid healing ability.
"Nothing is ever easy. Transport one. Cut loose and back off."
The Iron Clan returned and started shooting at Shen as he began to stir. The cables and claw disconnected from the helicopter to avoid getting dragged out of the air, retreating afterwards as the cold storm started up again. A strong wind staggered everyone around the dragon as he struggled against his bindings.
"You have only succeded in infuriating me mortal! You will feel my frost. I will shatter your remains across this land."
Xanatos turned back towards Mulan rather than waste time shooting. A magical weapon was needed for a magical problem. Though he did have an idea on how he could salvage this whole operation. Raising his gauntlet he turned his particle beam to it's lowest power level and fired, knocking the sword from her hand as it struck the blade. Rushing forward aided by his jets he grabbed the weapon before it hit the ground, shifting to a comfortable two handed grip. David turned back towards Shen, ignoring the girl as he called one quick command to his drones.
"Keep him distracted. I need ths shot."
Shen managed to stand fully upright, heralding his rage with an earth shaking roar. Undeterred, Xanatos rocketed back towards the beast, bringing the blade down on the scale wound highlighted by his targeting program. Shen reared back in pain and screeched before slumping backwards as the sword began glowing with a majestic light. The metallic scales dulled and began petrifying around the wound before spreading over Shens entire body.
"I will return. Even if it takes a thousand millenia I will retu..." His last words were cut off by the stone layer reaching his mouth and tongue.
Xanatos let go of the blade hilt and sat down on the reconquered beast. Removing his helmet and grinning to mask his relief. One of the Iron Clan drones stepped forward and projected a holographic video of the last moments of the fight showing David striking the winning blow. Satisfied with the results the billionaire turned to Mulan.
"Quite an event isn't it? I may not have Shen Daos loyalty but at least I can do something with these recordings. Should build a fine amount of good will among this Isle."
ooc: I am really really sorry Meri. It was the only way I could think of winning without winning. ><
Fa Mulan charged out into the open the very moment that Shen Dao regained composure. She was mostly concerned about Xanatos beforehand, but with the grumbles of discontent from the age-old serpent, she was momentarily distracted. Mulan slid to a stop. She did not dare get too close brazenly, without waiting to see if there was an applicable opening. Her caution saved her, too, because with a growl, Shen Dao loosed a wave of his frigid will made manifest, the cusp of his regaining control of the blizzard that had all but faded in the skies above in the brief minute of his unconsciousness.
The wind whipped Fa Mulan, almost plucking her from the ground to send her crashing into the temple's ornate facade. She covered her face with the hand that held the Sun Sword. The icy wind met the hallowed metal and made steam pour into the air. Xanatos, however, was closer to the dragon. Therefor, by the time the rippling phenomenon had passed him, it was assailing Mulan. During that moment of blindness, a blast of energy crackled across a hand already straining to hold the pommel as it grew unnaturally warm. "Gah!"
Mulan reacted instinctively. Without being able to see, and already preoccupied trying to remain grounded. Her grip loosened just slightly, and then the concussive force of the blast did the rest. Within the blink of an eye, Mulan had lost the weapon she'd just retrieved. When the initial whip of wind was past - Kri-Kee still burrowed in her collar - she watched Xanatos catch the flying weapon and return it to the bosom of the beast from whence it had come.
Anger boiled through the warrior's veins. She wanted nothing more than to charge at the man in the metal armor. But, Mulan maintained her cool. Shen Dao started to turn to stone, and she knew that Xanatos had locked him into a sleep that would not end soon. Instead of embracing those raging impulses, Mulan did something that would have made Shang proud. Having assessed the situation, she determined that nothing more could be done. So, Mulan turned, and disappeared onto the rocks.
Xanatos, high on his semi-victory, turned, and was three sentences into his gloating speech when he would finally notice there was now heroin with which to banter. Mulan was already en route to Khan down below, and then...? ... Then, she thought she'd give the Emperor a visit.

"She's already left boss."
Xanatos turned to face Coyote, or rather the Coyote head currently carried between two technicians. The rest of the workers and security team were divided between gathering up the equipment and treating the recently thawed crew members. Xanatos took a portable terminal and loaded up the video again, swiping his finger across several video manipulation tools. Though the venture hadn't ended up with the desired result of a loyal dragon the lessons learned could prove just as useful. Not to mention the translated material from the temple and the scale and sword samples that could be sent to the labs back home for full molecular analysis. Not to mention finding out a little about the local combat style.
"I half expected her to stick around and try to kill me." David grinned. "She's a lot more mature compared than any other opponent. Makes me feel bad about how things went down today. So hopefully this little message will mend some bridges."
He finished up the video editing and moved onto a written message which soon printed out of the end of the device. A Steel Clan drone stepped forwards to take it while David transferred the video file over for holographic broadcast to the recipient. A test video played showing the battle against Shen Dao, now with footage of Mulan edited in seemlessly. The drone took off heading towards the Imperial City. In all likelihood he'd get there first and report to the Emperor and his council that Mulan had stepped in to save several employees of Xanatos Enterprises from a rampaging dragon during a routine study of the temple. Chi Fu would have to side with the story if he wanted to keep clean and Mulan would at least get some recognition for her heroism (even if it wasn't for the heroism she expected. After the camp was packed up Xanatos took a last look at the area before stepping onto the helicopter, making a deliberate smirk at the stone dragon now marking the site. Coyote perch next to him on top of a portable charging station.
"So....Interesting day?"
"Explored a part of the new world, picked up a lot of research material that will benefit me both scientifically and magically, made a new enemy, did a favour they'll owe me for, slayed a dragon. Yes, very interesting."
