Here's the update!

Chapter 6

The weasels arrived home a little while later.
“Guys!” Hester’s voice called out. The orange Toon cat raced in front of them. “Did you found the Dragon Zodiac yet?”
“Yes, Hester.” Greasy said. “All safe and sound.”
Hester narrowed his eyes. “Hmm, that’s funny. I went over there a little while ago and no dragon!”
“Really?” Smart Guy said. “Well maybe he—”
Hester cuffed his head.
“Ow!” Smart Guy yelped.
“You didn’t found the dragon!” Hester snapped. “So now the dragon is out there somewhere, and who knows? Maybe even captured by the air pirates!”
“But the dragon was the stone—” Stupid stared to say, but was interrupted by Hester.
“DRAGONS ARE NOT STONE! They are supposed to be real and breathing!”
“But—”
“No buts!” Hester said, storming off. “We’re off to find the dragon!”
The weasels groaned.

The metal dragon crawled into the road while inside, the two beings were arguing.
“Move out of the way Dumptruck! I’m the lookout!”
“Vy do you have to be the lookout?”
“Because I know all about dragons?”
“How?”
“Because I went to school!”
“You did not!”
“Well I saw a picture of it once! Now control the buttons, Dumptruck!”
Dumptruck groaned.
“Aww, okay.”
He went near the front of the dragon where stood the controlling devices.
“Yumpin' Yimminy!” He sighed. “Deres a lot of controls!”
"Just hush up and let me concentrate!" Mad Dog snapped, looking into a built-in telescope. The vision went toward the Reluctant Dragon, then up to the sky where the American Dragon was flying around. Then it zoomed onto a small red dragon, walking proudly down the street with a cricket jumping behind him. A red light began to blink and beep. Mad Dog grinned.
"Jackpot! We found the dragon!"

[julayla]

Hoo boy. Things aren't looking good for Mushu and Cri-kee. Keep it up.

[weaselsrock]

Poor Mushu and Cri-kee are going to get captured!!!Put the next chapter up here soon!!

[Veggirl]

Here is the next chapter.

Chapter 7

Mushu rubbed his hands together. "Okay, just a couple of more blocks, and I'm sure we'll find the pirates in no time!"
The cricket chirped.
"What do you mean you give up?!"
The cricket chirped again.
"Yeah, well true we had been looking through 19 blocks and all, but still you can't give up!"
The cricket chirped angrily.
Mushu frowned. "Fine, fine, fine! One lunchbreak and then we'll go back to looking around!"

What the dragon and cricket didn't know was that the weasels were in the Chinese restaurant they had just entered.
"I don't get it!" Smart Guy said. "I'm sure the dragon zodiac is around here somewhere!"
"We'll find it." Hester said determinedly. "We're not gonna let those pirates steal it!"
"Pirates?! You saw pirates?"
To the surprise of the weasels and Hester, Mushu scrambled up on their table.
"Now what, Mushu?!" Greasy groaned.
"Well," Mushu said, pointing to Cricky. "Cricky here says that I am the dragon zodiac, so I figured I can defeat the pirates on my own. Of course, I don't really believe I'm the dragon so---"
Psycho then yelped. He pointed at Mushu's ear. "HE IS! HE IS!!!"
"What?!" The weasels yelped.
Smart Guy leapt from his seat and grabbed onto Mushu.
"Hey!" Mushu yelped.
Smart Guy grabbed one of Mushu's ears and stared down at it. On the ear was a tiny black drawing of a dragon.
"He's right! Mushu is the dragon!"
"All right, all right, all right!" Mushu said. "Can I get down now?"
Smart Guy released Mushu.
“We gotta get Mushu out of here.” Greasy said. “Pirates could be around.”
“Aww, can we have desert first?” Stupid groaned.
Smart Guy frowned. “Fine! One fortune cookie and that’s it!”
“Oh boy!” Stupid said happily. He took a fortune cookie and broke it. He read it out loud.
“Danger lurks nearby.”
Hester narrowed his eyes. “We better beware and get out fast! If the cookie says so, we must get away!”
“Aw, come on Hester!” Greasy said, leaning back on his chair. “You can’t believe one lousy cookie, can you?”
The door suddenly slammed open.
“All right everyone!” A sharp whining voice shouted. “We’re here for the dragon!”
The weasels turned their heads. It was Mad Dog and Dumptruck, both holding pistols.
Hester closed his eyes.
“Never mock the cookie.”

[Smartguy]

Ohhh yeah, this was what you were telling me about from before. Well at least now I can review it

Okay.....yeah just caught up with the chapters, had time to do so after all so yes, I agree with your prediction that I'd like it. Seems like Mushu's been found out but at the same time it seems to be only two of the pirates, unless more are outside. Then again of course, Dumptruck is a huge guy, and would probably not have too much trouble handling several weasels at once, so I wonder how the next chapter will turn out.

[Veggirl]

Here is the next chapter!

Chapter 8

“Get down!” Smart Guy hissed, grabbing Mushu and falling to the floor.
“Hey! What the—” Mushu shouted, before Smart Guy clamped his mouth shut. Mad Dog looked around.
“All right, dragon! Come out wherever you are!”
The manager, a small muskrat Toon with a gray moustache, stormed toward him.
“Get outta my restaurant, you pirate! There’s no dragon around here!” Dumptruck pointed his revolver toward the manager. The manager stared down at the revolver, silently agreeing that
it’ll be best to keep quiet. The weasels, Hester, Mushu and Crickee were slowly crawling toward the exit when suddenly they heard a voice.
“Hey Mad Dog, those weasels are getting away with the dragon!”
The Toon Patrol froze.
“Get them!” Mad Dog shouted.
Smart Guy grabbed Mushu, opened the door and threw him out.
“Run! Run for cover!!!”
Mushu flew out from the restaurant and landed hard on the road. Leaping to his feet, he raced toward the crowd, gathered for the Chinese Festival.

Mad Dog and Dumptruck charged toward the door, but were stopped when Smart Guy and Greasy dived toward their legs and made the crash to the floor. Hester yowled and leapt on Mad Dog’s head, hissing. Mad Dog yelped and tried to shake him off.
“Get Mushu!” Smart Guy yelled, still holding onto Mad Dog’s legs.
Psycho, Wheezy and Stupid raced out of the restaurant.
There was a chirp and Crickee came hopping towards them.
“Where’s Mushu?” Wheezy asked.
Crickee pointed toward the crowd. There was a gong ring and everyone cheered. The parade was starting and Mushu could be anywhere in it!

Mad Dog kicked Smart Guy away and yanked Hester off of his head. He glared at the cat.
“Where’s the dragon?!”
“I’ve heard of an ancient motto.” Hester said. “And that is, ‘None of your beeswax!’”
Greasy leapt up and grabbed Hester away from Mad Dog. The two weasels and the cat raced out.
“After them!” Mad Dog yelled.

[Veggirl]

Here is the next chapter.

Chapter 9

Mushu hid in the corner of the alleyway, trying to think of a plan.
“All right, all right. So I’m the dragon zodiac. What’s the power of the dragon again?!!”
There was a boom. Mushu looked up. Fireworks were decorating the sky. It suddenly dawned on him.
“Fire combustion.” He said, grinning. “Hmm...I think I’ve got something!”

“Where is Fidget when you need him?!” Wheezy growled, staring at the sky.
“Why do we need Fidget?” Stupid asked.
“He has the device to locate the zodiac animals.” Psycho said. “If we can get the device, we can find Mushu and take him back to the valley.”
Stupid looked behind him and yelped. “Uh...guys?”
The weasels turned. Charging toward them was Mad Dog and Dumptruck.
They raced away.
“Bad day, bad day, bad day!!!” Wheezy yelped.

Mushu landed on the fireworks tower, cloaked in a black cloak.
“Citizens!” He announced. “I need some ammo!”
The two Toons, a donkey and an elephant, turned. They froze in horror at the strange creature.
“Who are you?!”
Mushu spread out his wings.
“You’re worst nightmare!” He hissed.
The Toons screamed and leapt out from the tower. Mushu rubbed his hands, grinning and went to work.

Meanwhile, Smart Guy and Greasy raced in the middle of the street, searching for Mushu.
“Watch it!” Hester hissed from on top of Greasy’s head. A Chinese lion came dancing towards them, waving it’s head and flapping it’s jaws.
They leapt out of the way and raced into the crowd.
“Where the heck is Mushu?!” Smart Guy growled.
“By what I see, up there on the firework tower.” Hester said.
Smart Guy looked up. Mushu was standing on the firework tower, waving his arms. Smart Guy stared at him until he saw Mushu point to his back.
Smart Guy grinned. “Got it! Come on boys, we’re doing some climbing!”

[Smartguy]

Yeah I think Spikey's right, sounds like the idea he's got in mind.

[julayla]

All right! Go Mushu! I can't wait for more.

[Veggirl]

Enjoy the last chapter! ;D

Chapter 10

Wheezy, Psycho and Stupid raced into an alleyway, with no way out.
“Oh this day gets better and better!” Wheezy growled.
“Guys!” Smart Guy’s voice sounded above. He was waving his arms and was standing on the rooftop of a building. “Up here!”
Psycho went over to the ladder and began climbing up.
Wheezy groaned. “I hate heights!” Reluctantly, he began to climb as well. Stupid was the last one and was up halfway when the pirates came in.
“There they are!” Mad Dog said, pointing. Mad Dog and Dumptruck began climbing up. When they reached the end, they leapt over. The weasels and Hester stood there, with no weapons.
“You guys are finished!” Mad Dog said triumphantly.
Smart Guy grinned. “Not quite. Ready Mushu?”
“I am ready, Smarty!”
The two pirates turned around. Mushu was standing a few feet away with a large firework on his back. He got out a match and breathed on it. Fire came out from his mouth, lighting the
match.
“Light me!” He said, handing the match to Crickee. Crickee lit the firework and leapt out of the way. With a screech, the firework zoomed toward the pirates and crashed into. The two pirates screamed as they were flown into the air. Mushu cut himself loose and landed on Smart Guy’s head. The firework exploded, sending Mad Dog and Dumptruck flying toward the Iron Vulture.
Smart Guy grinned. “Mission accomplished boys!”

Don Karnage looked down at the two smokey black pirates.
“Well? Where is the dragon?”
Mad Dog coughed, a puff of smoke coming out from his mouth. “Well we followed him into the restaurant, boss. We nearly had him but...”
“Yes?”
“The Toon Patrol go him first.”
“WHAT?!” Don Karnage shouted. He grabbed Mad Dog and began to shake him.
“You imbeciles! I should hang you up and—”
The Iron Vulture began to shake when the fireworks exploded near it. Don Karnage yelped.
“On second thought, retreat! Retreat my minions!”

Back home, the weasels were sitting on the couch, enjoying some Chinese noodles.
“Well isn’t this a way to spend Chinese New Year?” Smart Guy said. “Sitting here on the couch, eating noodles and knowing we rescued one of the zodiac animals.” Mushu then leapt over to him.
“Come on, can I?”
Smart Guy glared at him. “Mushu, we talked about this a bunch of times and—”
“Well?”
Smart Guy groaned. “Oh fine! You can be the deputy in the valley.”
“AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH-HAAAA!” Mushu yelled in joy. The clock rang 12. Crickee rang a gong.
“Now, hit it Crickee!” Mushu shouted.
Upbeat music began to play as Crickee played some drums.
“Well since New Year is here,” Psycho said. “Looks like it’s time to celebrate!”
“Egg-rolls for everyone!” Mushu said. “I’m buying!”
Smart Guy rolled his eyes and uttered one word.
“Dragons!”

2 ZODIACS RESCUED, 10 MORE TO GO.
