Greetings. In honor of the new ALIEN movie coming out soon, combined with me taking a liking to the series, I decided to make another crossover. This, my dear readers, is ALIEN: OPERATION ARENDELLE.
In the middle of a forest, a bright light flashed, illuminating the dark night in a pale light. The light gathered and materialized into a spinning circle, foggy gasses rotating in the glow. A dark figure stepped through the glowing portal, a thick, muscular tail trailing behind him, snaking through the air, the hook-like blade on the end glinting in the light. He wore dark clothing and his hair was just as dark, slicked backward with an otherworldly shine. The dark armor that covered his torso and legs was striped with raised ribs of silver. The backplate had short, skeletal spines that aligned with his own vertebra. On his back was a strange weapon with a fat barrel. He carried a small pouch next to him. As the portal flashed shut, he opened the pouch a bit and peered in. A small, rasping shriek came from inside.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty," he said with a gentle voice, his pitch-black eyes full of compassion. "I'll find a good spot." The little sound came again, a bit more quietly this time.
The figure closed the pouch and strode off, going up the mountain. The moon providing enough light for the journey.
Queen Elsa, the sole sovereign of the kingdom of Arendelle, took a deep breath, before sighing the air out. She had been in this meeting for an hour, and this ambassador from the neighboring country of Gildlund was being extremely difficult.
"I understand, Mister Graham, but as I've said, we cannot distribute any more goods to your country. We need to maintain a healthy distribution here domestically. I have sent troops to deal with the skirmishes near our border, but until I have heard back from them, I can do nothing more."
"I understand, your majesty," Graham said, his thinning hairline. "I will report back to my superiors with this, and encourage them to reconsider their terms."
Elsa nodded. As Graham rose, he bowed respectfully, before turning and leaving the woman in silence.
Elsa leaned back in her chair, rubbing the lethargy out of her blue eyes.
It had been three years since she took the throne, and overall the affairs had been relatively peaceful. She had not been persecuted for her abilities to control the snow and ice, giving just another reason that with enough political and social power, one could get away with just nearly anything. A small sector was still upset with the fact that their ruler had magical abilities, but Elsa let them be. They could think what they wanted and she should not bother herself with their trivial complaints. It seemed to be working, as Elsa was helping the kingdom to prosper, and the complaints were quieting down.
Princess Anna, Elsa's redheaded sister, had been adamant that the so-called "nay-sayers" were simply being stubborn, and would come around in time.
A knock on the door alerted Elsa of an incoming presence.
"Come in," she called. The door opened and revealed the aforementioned princess. "Ah, Anna."
"Hi, Elsa," Anna said. "How was your day?"
"Long," Elsa said. "I've been in meetings all day."
"I figured as much," Anna said, sitting in the chair. "I came by several times, but the guards said that you should not be disturbed when doing business."
"I'm sorry for that," Elsa said. "How about I make it up to you?" Anna's face turned into a smile. "Could I treat you to tea?"
"You know you can," Anna said. The "tea", of course, being hot chocolate.
Elsa rose and led Anna down to the royal study. On the way, Elsa requested a teapot of Anna's favorite beverage to be delivered to the study.
"Of course, Your Highness," the young servant girl said with a curtsey, before scurrying off to complete the queen's request.
As the two young women took their seats in the study, Elsa spoke. "So, Anna, how was your time with Kristoff last night?"
"It was good," Anna said. "Though..."
"Though?" Elsa repeated.
"We saw the strangest thing," Anna said. "We saw a bright light on the North Mountain."
"A bright light?" Elsa asked, her brow furrowing.
"Yes," Anna said. "It was white in color, but only lasted for a few seconds."
Elsa sat in silence, the only light that was that bright would have been lightning, but the skies were clear last night. There was not even a trace of a storm.
"Thank you for telling me this, Anna," Elsa said. "I'll send a scout up to investigate." If this was unknown, it could very well be a danger to her people.
The figure returned from the hunt with a rabbit and set it in front of a pale, wormlike creature. The queen tore into the food ravenously, consuming the carcass.
Looking around, the figure could not have chosen a better spot. The cave was secluded, with a wide, spacious interior with a narrow entrance. Soon, the queen would begin to lay her eggs, and their brethren would be born.
Looking down at the queen, Indi smiled. His mother would soon be big enough, and he would no longer be alone on hunts.
He cocked his head as a trundling sound came from the path a good ways down the mountain. He turned and took his weapon from its spot against the cave wall, strapping it to his back.
As he left the cave, he glanced back at the queen, who was completing her first meal. Taking a breath, Indi stepped out into the moonlight.
