Mulan II

One month after defeating the Huns, Mushu enjoys his restored status as a guardian spirit. The Fa family ancestors are dismayed and would prefer he be fired from his job. Mushu clings to his role while navigating the tension with the family.

General Shang asks Mulan for her hand in marriage, and she happily accepts. Mushu is briefly thrilled at the engagement but fears it will cost him his job. The ancestors loom in the background, reminding him of the guardianship rules.

The Emperor calls Mulan and Shang to warn of a Mongol threat and to secure China through an alliance with Qui Gong. He proposes marriages between his three princesses and Qui Gong's princes and assigns Mulan and Shang to protect them on the journey. The stakes of the mission are immediately clear.

Mulan, Shang, Yao, Ling, Chien-Po, and the three princesses begin their road trip toward Qui Gong. Mushu tags along with the intention of sabotaging the couple, while Cri-Kee attempts to thwart him. The journey is fraught with tension as trust is tested from the start.

Mushu's schemes backfire when he accidentally destroys the princesses' carriage. The group is forced to continue on foot, intensifying the strain among the travelers. Mulan and Shang must recalibrate their duties under growing pressure.

Mushu manipulates Shang into believing that Mulan is fed up with him, widening the rift between the two. The couple's bond weakens just as their mission becomes more critical. Their disagreements threaten to derail the protection of the princesses.

That night, Mei, Ting-Ting, and Su declare their love for Yao, Ling, and Chien-Po, respectively, and decide to follow their hearts. Mulan sees the princesses embrace happiness, which rekindles her own resolve. The journey grows more personal as emotions run high.

Mushu wakes Shang and the others, prompting a reprimand for neglecting duties. A heated argument between Mulan and Shang follows, and they decide they are too different to stay together. The breakup leaves the party destabilized at a crucial moment.

The group is attacked by bandits while the princesses are rescued. Mulan and Shang are left dangling on a broken bridge, and Shang sacrifices himself by letting go to keep Mulan safe. Heartbroken, Mulan resolves to press on toward Qui Gong to finish the mission.

Mulan reaches Qui Gong and lies that the princesses have been killed, offering herself in place of their lives. Lord Qin agrees to marry Mulan to his eldest son, Jeeki, attempting to solidify the alliance. She steels herself for the dangerous deception she must maintain.

Shang returns alive and reunites with Yao, Ling, Chien-Po, and the princesses as they head for Qui Gong. He interrupts the wedding to reveal that Mulan was right about following her heart. Mushu impersonates the Great Golden Dragon of Unity to force Lord Qin to ally with the Emperor.

Mulan and Shang reconcile their relationship and work to free the princesses from their vows. They reaffirm their commitment to each other and to the mission, solidifying the new alliance. The princesses' futures are secured as the group moves forward.

Sometime later, Mulan and Shang marry in Mulan's village. Shang merges the family temples, allowing Mushu to continue his role as guardian spirit. Mushu even reveals himself to the couple, though Shang is not surprised since Mulan had told him about him beforehand.

During the celebration, Mushu is happy to have his guardian role restored and to be part of the family once more. The couple's bond is strong, and Mushu's presence becomes a lasting, if humorous, part of their life. The guardianship continues with a new sense of balance.
