Royal Banter
Cold and crisp, the morning breeze was, spreading over a massive continent, preserving the life of nature, allowing it a peaceful slumber. A kingdom, once coated in ice, now warm as the sun, came into view. A mountain to the north illuminates in such a way that it resembles a glimmering diamond. The mountain curves, allowing the view of a magnificent castle gazing across the sea, its village refreshed by the splashing near the coast. A mountainous plain serves as the backdrop to the beauty of the kingdom of Arendelle...
(Arendelle Castle, 11:45 a.m.)
The servants to the recent monarchs were heard traversing the grand halls of the massive castle. A maid is seen last-minute dusting, immediately returning to her other chores. A room is seen on the left, its door creaking open. Inside, a familiar slumbering princess lays, her strawberry blonde hair frizzled by the electric friction. Her lips smack together, retrieving any lost drool dangling from the girl's mouth. Her eyes open, to reveal ocean blue orbs, lazily gazing around her room. The door opens more, as another female walks in.
This female was completely different from the strawberry blonde. This woman, had platinum blonde hair, ocean blue eyes, and an icy blue dress that seemed to highlight the more... revealing parts of herself.
The champagne haired woman spoke, awakening the red haired girl. "Anna, it's time to wake up,"
The redhead, known as Anna, was the princess of Arendelle, and the woman who woke her up, was Queen Elsa, the high monarch of Arendelle. These sisters had their fair share of dysfunction; first, during their youth, Elsa's famed ice powers hurt her sister, causing a decade of isolation. The sisters met once again, at the Queen's coronation, but due to Elsa's fear, she froze her kingdom. Anna, however, was the cause, as she protested that she be married to Prince Hans, the con artist responsible for nearly killing Princess Anna, and taking over Arendelle.
But that was nearly ten years ago (ironically), so enough with the recap, let s get back to who is really important in this moment.
"Hmm... 5 more minutes... Anna mumbled, as she tossed into her covers. Elsa giggled at her sibling, and formed a snowball in her hand. She reared her hand, and threw the ball at her sister's head, causing melted ice to run down her shirt.
"AHH! COLD! COLD!" was all Anna could say when she fell out of bed. Queen Elsa was not one for mischief, but when her sister was lazy, she took matters into her own hands.
"Are you awake now?" Elsa asked, stifling a giggle.
Anna glared at her sibling, before returning the laugh, "Yes, now what is SO important that you had to wake me up on the WEEKEND?"
Elsa gestures towards the calendar, before saying, "I spoke to the council today, and I have cleared some time in my schedule." Anna's face lit up, before she ran to her sister, and hugged her.
"Anna, I haven't even told you what we're doing yet!" Elsa smiled heartily.
"Does it matter? I get to hang with my sister, and that's all I care about!" Anna hugged Elsa once more. Elsa returned the gesture, and told Anna to get dressed. Anna nodded her head, and ran into her washroom. Ten minutes later, she walked out in her new dress, and the sisters walked to the main gates.
Once outside, Anna was very curious, "Hey, sis? Where are we going, exactly?"
Elsa turned to her sister, and smiled, "We are heading up to my ice castle in the North Mountain. I don't think I ever got the chance to reteach you on skating, so this will be good practice." Elsa laughed, as Anna sighed in embarrassment.
"Race ya there!" Anna challenged, as she began to sprint away. Elsa rolled her eyes playfully, before giving chase to her sister. The streets of Arendelle were crowded, as always. Each merchant called out a deal, and one or two people purchased. Children were seen on the streets, playing and talking to each other. This, believe it or not, was a normal day living in Arendelle. As the sisters went on, Anna nearly ran into a familiar reindeer, and his blonde haired compadre.
"Oh, hi Sven!" Anna spoke, as she turned to her boyfriend, and smiled wider. "Kristoff! Hi!"
The blonde man, known as Kristoff, smiled in return as Anna walked over, and hugged him. His smiled shrank a bit, as he greeted the monarchs.
"Hey guys, where are you off to?" Kristoff asked.
"We are heading up the mountain, so Elsa here can 'teach' me how to skate!" Anna replied.
"Can I Go? I wanna see Marshmallow!" A familiar snowman came from behind the man. Olaf had excitement in his eyes, as Elsa replied, "Of course, Olaf."
As the three friends bid farewell to Kristoff and Sven, they began their ascent up the mountain. They chatted on several topics, trying to pass the time before they reached the summit.
(Earth's Atmosphere, Same Time)
Our heroes had to crowd into Tail's chair to avoid burning from entering the atmosphere. There was loud panicking, shouting, and one person was up front with Tails.
"Little buddy, I think we're on Earth!" Sonic concluded.
"But which one? Wormholes are known to be able to traverse dimensions as well as location."
"WOULD YOU TWO STOP THE CHIT CHAT AND FIND A PLACE TO LAND!?" Shadow shouted in panic.
"There, on that mountain!" Sonic pointed out a large castle, made of some clear metal.
"Everyone hold on to your butts!" Sonic shouted. Tails held the wheel firmly, but the sudden acceleration and drag forced him to let go. The Tornado descended rapidly, sending the heroes tumbling into the back. The plane's emergency eject sent the Mobians flying out of the plane, down into the cold, hard snow. Sonic landed face first, as usual. He got up after a brief struggle with Mother Nature, and turned to the rest of the gang.
"Is everyone alright?" Sonic called out. Everyone replied with "We're fine!"
"Come on guys! Let's go see where we are." Sonic spoke as the Freedom Fighters each got out of the crashed aircraft. immediately they were met with a cold rush of wind. They didn't shiver, because their time spent in Ice Cap Zone had increased their frigid tolerance.
"Tails, ask the computer on your Miles Electric where we are," Sonic spoke.
"I can't," Tails sadly told. "It was lost in the crash."
"So we're stuck on some random planet, AND we have no communication with our world? Great." Shadow remarked angrily.
"Let's take shelter in that castle!" Sonic pointed towards the large structure, and the gang began to enter.
"Tails, this place is made of ice!" Amy spoke in amazement.
"I've never seen architecture like this before, not even from the ancient Echidna's!" Knuckles was astounded.
"We all agree we've never seen this? Good, so I'm not the only one," Silver sighed in relief.
The Freedom Fighters were amazed by the castle they were in, but their wonder was interrupted by a low grow from a very angry winter guardian.
"Uh, guys, we got company!" Sonic shouted as a giant snow creature emerged in front of them.
"Yup, we've definitely got company."
The kingdom of Arendelle was in awe at the sight before them. A shooting star, said to bring fortune and luck, had just passed the sky, heading towards the North Mountain. THe townsfolk gathered to watch as it crashed onto the peak. Kristoff was among them, very worried for a certain red haired girl.
"Sven, you think there ok?" Kristoff asked his reindeer friend.
Sven gave him a nuzzle, reassuring him that they were alright. "Thanks buddy. Say, how 'bout we go buy some carrots?" The reindeer smiled in excitement. Kristoff laughed at his compadre, and they walked on back to their grocery shopping.
AS if by coincidence, Elsa, Anna, and Olaf were on the opposite side of the North Mountain from where the Ice Palace was. However, once they reached the front, Elsa stopped suddenly. Anna kept walking, but turned to acknowledge her sister's sudden halt.
"Sis? What's up?" Anna questioned. Soon enough, they each received their answer, emanating from the castle; a loud roar, and shouting.
"Someone's trying to hurt Marshmallow!" Olaf yelled in panic.
"If that's so, then there is no time to waste!" Elsa formed ice in her hand, ready to launch at the flick of her wrist.
They pushed open the doors to the palace, and in front of them, was a scene never before witnessed in history...
"WHAT IS THIS THING!?" Shadow shouted as he Chaos Controlled away from the creature's punch.
"Who knows? Just dodge it's attacks!" Knuckles leapt across as the monster attempted to step on him.
"Hey, Tails! I have an idea! Lift me into the air, and I'll stomp on it's ugly face!" Sonic smirked at his little brother.
"Got it!" Tails slid towards Sonic, and carried him into the air. Once high enough, Tails tossed Sonic over the creature, and Sonic dropped his foot directly into the monster's nose, flipping back onto the balcony. It fell back, tumbling over, but it never hit the ground. Instead, it landed sitting down. From behind it, three figures were revealed; two woman and what had appeared to be... a snowman.
The first woman, who was holding the small snowman, had strawberry blonde hair, freckles across her cheeks, and teal colored eyes. She wore a traditional snow outfit and cap. The other woman was holding the creatures hand, like a mother holds her baby after they get hurt. She had platinum blonde hair, a sky blue dress and a pale complexion. When she turned to face the Mobians, here eyes were revealed as a sparkling icy blue.
Sonic stood tall in his defensive position, staring down the champagne blonde. She did the same, slightly moving her right hand as well. Sonic saw her movement, and smirked, confusing the woman. Suddenly, Sonic back flipped, as a spike of ice lunged from behind him. It stopped right in front of the woman, who then proceeded to shift it back into normal ice. Instead of landing on the balcony, Sonic landed on the floor in front of the woman. He raised his fists in defense, continuing to stare down the platinum blonde.
"Who are you, and why are you here?" She spoke in a clear, bold voice, sidestepping slowly.
Sonic mimicked her movements, kept his signature smirk, and replied with a thumbs up, "I'm Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog! And you are?"
The woman stood tall, before clearly announcing, "I am Queen Elsa, ruler of the kingdom of Arendelle. I am here before you to ask that you leave immediately."
Sonic merely chuckled in response, "Nicely? Sorry, Elsa, but trying to kill me with ice isn't exactly proper greeting etiquette."
Elsa scoffed, "And what would you know of etiquette? Are you of any royalty?"
Sonic smirked once more, "As a matter of fact, I am. I am the Prince of Mobius, my mother was Queen Aleena. I am also 100% certain that a Queen does not scoff in public."
Elsa formed a smirk of her own, "And I am 100% certain that you always address royalty by their titles."
Sonic smiled faintly, "Touché."
Elsa lost her smirk and regained her seriousness, "So, Sonic, we can do this the easy way," Elsa then brought her hands up, ice forming around her palms, "or the hard way."
Sonic's friends waited in anticipation for his answer, as his smirk grew wider than before, "Show me what you got, Ice Queen."
