Author's Note: This one is intended to portray Elsa as a villain, though not of her own will. The synopsis I have will take Elsa, Anna, Dr. Jackson and Major Carter from the past to the present, and make some changes to how later events are portrayed. Please note, that in keeping with the Stargate Universe, Elsa's powers will have a scientific reasoning behind them, and are not just 'magic.'
Stargate: Frozen
Set during Season 7
Italics is when the host is think talking.
Bold is when the Goa'uld think talking.
Italics, bold and underline is a goa'uld speaking in that special double voice of theirs.
Chapter 1
Dr. Jackson took cover behind a column, taking fire from several Jaffa. He reloaded his Beretta, and looked over at Major Carter. She had her special rifle ready, and with a coordination born of years of teamwork, came around their pillars and started to fire at the Jaffa. Their bullets took down the Jaffa with ease, and soon were the only ones left standing.
"That went well," Dr. Jackson commented, as he and Major Carter surveyed the downed Jaffa.
"Indeed it did," he heard a voice say, as Major Carter was blasted forward. An arm wrapped itself around his neck and yanked him backwards off his feet. He tried to get his feet under him, but the goa'uld wrestled him face forward, his gun arm pinned behind him.
"Keep resisting, and I will break your arm," he hissed in Jackson's ear.
As Dr. Jackson was about to give his reply, more of the Jaffa arrived, staff weapons began to level at him. With that, he knew he would have to stop resisting, as there was no way he could fight everyone at once.
"Much better. Take them to my ship."
Dr. Jackson was led at staff point to a long cylindrical ship of about thirty feet, while two of the Jaffa dragged Major Carter behind him. There were taken inside through a door behind the pilots chair into the cargo hold. The Jaffa then took all of their weapons and equipment and then Jackson was left standing while Carter was left unconscious on the floor. When the door was sealed by destroying the interior control panel, Dr. Jackson began to rouse Carter, who finally came around.
"Remind me to blame the Tok'ra for the bad intelligence on this one," Jackson groused, as he sat on a crate.
"My father," Carter began, sitting up to lean against the door, "wouldn't lie to us."
"No, but the Tok'ra High Council don't always tell him everything either."
"Selmak..."
"Ever since Selmak entered your father, the council doesn't seem to trust him either."
Carter kept silent on that one, as the sounds of battle raged around them. After several moments, she got up, and started to examine the destroyed control box. After a while she shook her head.
"It's too damaged. I can't open it from this side."
With a hum, the ship came to life around them. Carter and Jackson looked at each other, then went to the other door. They had only begun to look at the control box when the forward door opened, revealing the goa'uld, dressed in his gold trimmed clothes. He walked in, holding the remote to unlock the iris covering Earth's Stargate.
"You will give me the code to unlock Earth's Stargate, or you will both die," holding the device to Dr. Jackson.
"Yea, that's not happening," Jackson said, crossing his arms.
Without warning, the goa'uld snapped his hand against Major Carter's forehead, the hand device humming as it scrambled the major's brain. "Time is short. Enter the code, and I will stop. Or don't, and she dies."
With a grunt, Dr. Jackson entered the code, careful to keep the combination hidden. Then gave the device back. The goa'uld stopped, lowering his hand device. Major Carter slumped against the wall, eyes unfocused. Taking the device, he left back through the door to the cockpit, closing it behind him. Jackson went over to Sam, helping her into a sitting position.
"I'm alright Daniel, just let me get my bearings."
With a lurch of motion Daniel felt the ship take off. He and Carter looked at each other, then felt the ship dive. Entering the Stargate's wormhole was unmistakeable, as they had a quick glimpse of passing through the event horizon before being reconstituted on the other side. Daniel breathed a quick sigh of relief. If they were now in Stargate Command, General Hammond had the ship under lockdown. Being at the very bottom level of the Cheyenne Mountain Complex of NORAD meant that the ship had nowhere to go. They were trapped.
That thought lasted about a minute. The goa'uld opened the door to the hold, and Daniel had a narrow view of an ice covered cave.
"Dr. Jackson, I was under the impression that your base was a military fortress."
"It is. This looks like our Antartic gate. But the gate here was moved years ago."
Carter groaned, "Don't tell me we gated into the past again."
"I was not aware the Chappa'ai had such possibility."
"It does, but its like finding a needle in a haystack in one try. It might happen once in your lifetime, but that's about it," Daniel explained.
"How far in the past are we?"
"Given that we are at the Antartic gate, and not the SGC, at least fifty years. Maybe longer."
"Fifty years? When Ra was still in power?" Though his voice was carefully neutral, Daniel noted a hint of worry. He should be, Ra was the most powerful goa'uld ever at one point. Dominating the others into submission for thousands of years. Daniel nodded. The goa'uld turned around and left Carter and him locked in the hold. It didn't take long for the sounds of weapons fire to reach them.
"Daniel, if we are in the past," Carter started to say.
"Jack will go to Thor for help. If anyone can find us, it's the Asgard." Daniel told her, referring to the diminutive alien species that often helped them.
"If that's the case, why aren't they here already? We might only have been here for moments in our time, but Thor should have already been here if he's coming," Carter explained. "I think we might be a little lost, or further back in time making finding us much more difficult."
"How much further," Daniel asked, wincing even though he didn't want to know the answer.
"Theoretically? Hundreds of years. It all depends on where we were in the stream when we passed by the solar flare. There's no way to know unless we interact with the locals," Carter told him, then hung her head. "And Daniel, we can't interact with the locals without damaging the time stream. If we do, we could seriously alter the course of future events."
"Right," with a splurge of motion, they felt the ship lift back into the air. That told them they were airborne again. "But didn't we make the necessary changes when we traveled back the first time? General Hammond already knew we'd been to 1969, even that Jack owed him for loaning us money during the escape."
"You mean that time has a set path, and that our coming back is already a part of the past. It's iffy Daniel, and not supported by known science."
"What else are we going to do? We have to wait for Jack to find us. Maybe they can't get the specific time, and be here in a few days. But we have to give them the chance to find us."
"First, we need to get this engine room door open. I think I can rig something to blow up. It might cause the ship to burn up though in reentry," Sam said, jimmying the panel off. She then pulled a few crystals, inserting one in a different slot and opened the door. Once inside she pulled a few racks of crystals out of a wall. After examining a few, she started to pull crystals out, rearranging others. After a moment, she opened another rack and switched a crystal with out. Daniel looked back to the front to see the doors there open.
"We've only got a minute before the engines shutdown," Sam explained, as she closed the racks.
The moved quickly through the hold, finding that the ship was climbing into the upper atmosphere already. Sam located their weapons, and picked up her rifle. Aiming it at the goa'uld, she and Daniel moved to the single escape pod.
"I will hunt you down for this," the goa'uld spat.
"I doubt you will survive the fall back to Earth," Daniel said, as he and Sam squeezed into the pod. Sam hit the activation button, and the doors sealed on them as the goa'uld howled. They were still aboard as the ship lurched to the side. With a sudden boom, they were launched back to Earth, the escape pod punching into the atmosphere without a problem but at an angle.
The goa'uld though refused to let them off so easy. He grabbed the controls and tried to follow the escape pod. The engines were overheating, causing the controls to become sluggish. He reentered the atmosphere, the display showing the path they had taken. He was so intent on following his quarry that he failed to notice how endangered his ship was. He only found out when he tried to slow to land. He saw the pod impact low on the mountain, but the ship was now only a metal meteor, devoid of all control. He saw the peak loom ahead, and with a final howl of denial, watched his ship crash into the peak.
Elsa stood on the balcony to her new castle, admiring the sunrise. From here, she had a completely unobstructed view of the sun as it rose to illustrate the snow around her. It was beautiful, peaceful. And then she heard a sound like thunder. Looking around, she saw no clouds blocking the stars.
Then she saw it. A streak of fire in the night sky. Headed straight for the peak.
She watched in fascination as the streak of fire came right next to her castle, flying as straight as an arrow. It impacted the snow at the peak, and seamed to come to a stop. The fire was immediately extinguished by the snow around it, and she could see it was a metal cylinder. A hole opened in the side, and a man dressed in gold stumbled out of it and falling into the snow.
Elsa rushed through her castle, trying to get to the man. Once through the front doors and down the stairs, she ran across the snow. The man lay there, face down, the snow around him already crimson from blood. She turned him over, seeing his pale face. He mumbled something she couldn't hear, so she leaned close to hear his final words. The man opened his mouth again, but nothing came out.
"What?" she managed to say before something jumped from the man's mouth to hers. She could feel the snakelike thing break through the back of her throat and wriggle its way into her body. She tried to get her fingers around it, but she couldn't get a purchase on the slick hide. Soon though, the snake was curled around her spine, and she was gagging on bile at the back of her throat.
Then she spit up bile mixed with blood.
'I didn't spit,' she thought, as she straightened up. 'I'm not doing this!'
'I am, though,' she heard in her thoughts. It was deep, thundering inside her head as if she were hearing a roar. 'You are my slave now. I will use your body to enslave the people of this world and I will be worshiped as the god I am.'
'You're a demon, and I will resist you!' she screamed internally, lacking even a voice now.
Elsa tried to resist the being as it began removing a golden device with a large ruby from the wounded man's hand. Suddenly its name and use became clear to her. It was a kara kesh, and it would attack or torture its victim and protect her with a force field. More items came into her head as she thought about force fields. She suddenly knew how to make them, how they were used, and what they could withstand. It was like suddenly being dropped in a literal sea of knowledge, and she struggled to survive.
She watched as her the device was put on her left hand, and the demon within her adjusted it to fit her. Once she was wearing it, the demon flexed her hand experimentally, then felt the charge run through her body causing the device to project a wall of force against the snow. The demon seemed stunned as the kara kesh was suddenly engulfed in ice, caused by her own power.
'What's this? You can control ice? And snow? You are indeed a valuable host."
'Get out,' she screamed, and with a mental shove that sent a spike of pain worse than any headache she had ever felt through her, and she fell to her knees. She looked at the strange golden device attached around her wrist and hand. Surprised she actually had control, then another spike of pain that caused the world to grow dark around the edges sent her mentally stumbling.
'Do that again, and I will make your days miserable,' he boomed. Elsa could only cringe under the mental pain the demon gave her. She decided instead to focus on the information being forced into her. The demon was itself a goa'uld, which looked somewhat like a snake with fins. She also knew that it was now wrapped around her spine and was controlling her like a marionette doll. They had the ability to pass on their knowledge by encoding it into their genes. So she also knew their history.
The goa'uld left their home planet using a race known as Unas, which did indeed look like demons. They found the ancient technology they used, and used it to enslave others, amassing even greater knowledge. The problem was, though the goa'uld weren't immortal. One goa'uld, trying to evade death, came to Earth. He was one of the most powerful, and his name was Ra. Ra found a host, and with his great knowledge found that his new host could be kept alive indefinitely. This new planet, Tau'ri, was harvested for its people which abounded on the planet.
With a shock, she realized it was Earth. Ra and the goa'uld played gods to their slaves with their vast technology. However, Earth was lost to them when the slaves under Ra revolted, causing Ra to leave and then they buried the Chappa'ai, a large ring of quartz that projected a wormhole through space and connected planets. The goa'uld then used their ships to come occasionally, harvesting great amounts of new slaves. The slaves were taken to the stars, to other planets where life was able to thrive.
Some of these slaves were used as a military. They were called the Jaffa. The Jaffa's big advantage was that when they carried the infant goa'uld, called a symbiote, they became stronger and faster. They remained loyal as the symbiote would eventually mature into a goa'uld, and when they did, they had to have a new symbiote or they'd get sick and die as the symbiote replaced their immune system.
Just like the mature goa'uld, she realized. Even now, she could feel parts of her immune system shutting down. Within the day, she'd no longer be able to survive without the goa'uld inside her. It meant that if the demon left her, she was guaranteed to die within hours. She was its slave. Forever trapped inside her own body, forced to watch and unable to stop the horror the demon would unleash.
Sam and Daniel crawled out of the escape pod into the middle of a snow filled landscape. They quickly tightened their coats, then removed their patches identifying their rank, country and their affiliation with the SGC and stowed them in their pockets.
"Must be midwinter," Daniel noted, as he wrapped his arms around himself.
"At least our uniforms give us some protection," Sam replied. "Our boots are thermal protected, and our coats are designed to keep the wind out. That helps a lot with wind chill."
"Which way do you think to town?"
"Let's ask those two," Sam said, pointing at two people approaching with some kind of horned animal, which Sam thought was a reindeer.
"Hei der!" a woman called to them.
"It's Norwegian," Daniel told her. "Kan du hjelpe oss? Vi er tapt og kan ikke finne veien."
The woman and man approached. The woman was a little shorter than Sam, with red pig tails under a tie on hood. Her dress was blue, with a black bodice and an almost pale blue blouse. Her cape was a bright purple, almost red. The man on the other hand was dressed in something more like furs, with its brownish-black coarseness. He kept his ears warm with some kind of knit cap, which covered most of his blond hair.
"Arendelle er pa den maten, naer fjorden," she said, pointing down a path. "Vaer forsiktig med ulvene selv om de er sultne og vil angripe noe."
"She said Arendelle is that way," Daniel translated, "And to be wary of wolves. They are hungry and will attack people."
"You speak English?" she said, smiling.
"Yes, we're from the United States..." Daniel started to say before Sam cut him off.
"Daniel, we can't..." Sam started to say.
"Oh, did President Tyler send you?" she asked.
"No," Daniel quickly said. "We're explorers, out on our own. We just got a little lost."
"De skjuler noe, din majestet," the man said silently to the woman. She turned to face him, frowning when he added, "Jeg anbefaler a forlate dem her."
"De var nok bare forvirret av min soster forarsaker stormer. Det er min plikt som Prinsessen of Arendelle a hjelpe alle innenfor sine grenser."
The man seemed to deflate and Sam looked lost as she didn't understand Norwegian. "He says we're hiding something and we should be left here. She," Daniel interpreted for her, indicating the woman, "is apparently the Princess of Arendelle, and her sister caused the storms. She also says its her duty to help us."
"Great," Sam said.
"Please excuse my guide, Kristoff," the princess asked. "He means well, but it is my duty as princess to shelter all who enter my kingdom. I'm Princess Anna."
Daniel bowed before her, "It is an honor to meet you, Princess Anna. My name is Doctor Daniel Jackson. This is my friend and colleague, Doctor Samantha Carter."
"A pleasure, Princess Anna," Carter said, bowing.
"Just Anna please."
"You said your sister caused the storms?"
"Yes. Don't ask me how, she just got upset at her coronation and created this ice wall. She got scared, tried to run away, but ice kept spreading around wherever she went. That's when the storm started," she shuddered. "It's been that way ever since."
"And no idea how she caused them exactly? She never showed any power like this before?" Jackson queried. He knew causing ice like this was beyond the Goa'uld, but it could be a genetic condition.
"No, though she has locked herself away since she was eight. We used to play together all the time, but then one day, she just left me. No explanation. I used to try to get her to come out, get her to play with me, but she wouldn't. Then when our parents died, she refused to come out. Never went to their burial stone. Then when I tried to get her to bless my engagement to Prince Hans, she refused. Not only that, she refused to allow me to marry him."
"Anna, how long have you had that streak of white hair?" Carter asked.
"For as long as I can remember. I was always told I was born with it. Why do you ask?"
"I've seen hair be turned white before," she pointed out. "But it takes contact with an extremely cold object to do it."
"Sam," Jackson growled, under his breath.
"Wait, your saying that Elsa caused my hair to turn white? But that would mean," Anna said, stopping as her mind began to process what she was being told.
"I think the reason your sister locked herself away is because she hurt you. It probably wasn't intentional, maybe even an accident, but she hurt you. She locked herself away to protect you."
"Din majestet, hva som er galt? Hva er det de sier til deg?" Kristoff asked.
"De forteller meg sannheten om hvorfor min soster last seg unna. Jeg visste aldri at hun saret meg. Jeg kunne ikke huske."
"I'm sorry, its not our place to interfere," Sam said, wrapping an arm around the petite princess.
"No, I'm glad you told me. I never thought her power could be dangerous."
"Can't be all dangerous. She has controlled it well enough to hide it," Daniel theorized.
"True, she had to have some measure of control or she would have caused this when she was younger. Sounds more like a recent breakdown to me. Maybe medical in origin. Could be entirely accidental on her part. Or stress related. A lot of variables to weed out." Doctor Carter was thoughtful, but then she realized when and where she was. "But that's speculation at this point."
Princess Anna shrugged her shoulders. "Speculation is all I have at this point. But, I am her sister. She won't knowingly hurt me. If what you say about her turning my hair white when we were children is true, she locked herself away for years to prevent it from happening again. We can work through this. I know we can."
"All we need to do is find her," Daniel pointed out.
"That's easy. She's at the peak of North Mountain. The storms seems to roll off the summit, so that's where Kristoff was taking me."
"Do you mind if we come along? We might be able to help, if nothing else," Sam asked.
"Sure, if you think you can survive the trip," Princess Anna said, eying the little clothing they wore. "If you do not mind me saying, you already look half frozen."
"Our jackets have a thermal lining. It can keep us warm by insulating us from the wind and cold," Sam explained.
"We usually do it with heavy cloth. A lot of heavy cloth," Anna said, as the group started to follow Kristoff and his reindeer up the trail. She eyed the two strangers as they proceeded on, more importantly the blond named Doctor Carter. She hadn't met many women who weren't maids, being locked in the castle since she was a little girl, but none of the women she'd met since her sister's coronation the day before had been more than a diplomat's wife. It was a little odd, to say the least.
