Chapter 6: The Invasion of Arendelle
(*FLASHBACK TO JAFAR AND ELSA'S LAST ENCOUNTER*)
Arendelle
Jafar and Amara appeared in a cloud of magic smoke on the docks of a land known as Arendelle. Even though it was the summer, they noted that the temperature seemed slightly chilly if not cold. Jafar and Amara watched as people walked around town, going about their lives as if nothing was wrong.
"Do they know it's not supposed to be this cold?" Jafar asked.
"It's the work of their Queen." Amara said. "I warned you not to underestimate her."
"She can change the weather." Jafar said. "Impressive, but not enough to intimidate me."
"She can do more than that." Amara said. "She has ice magic. She froze her entire kingdom in just a few hours. Are you intimidated yet?"
"No." Jafar said.
"We come from a desert." Amara said. "We have no experience with ice magic."
"Why are you trying to make me fear her?" Jafar asked.
"It's very important to me that we find the genie in her castle." Amara said. "I don't want her to kill you because you underestimated her."
"I promise you I'll be fine." Jafar said. "We'll work together. We'll find her weakness and exploit it."
Jafar and Amara began walking off the docks and into the city, on their way to the royal castle.
Elsa walked down the stairs and found Anna standing in front of the closed doors of the castle that led to the outside. Confused, she called to her sister.
"Anna." She said. "What're you doing."
"Waiting for you." Anna replied with a smile.
"Why?" Elsa asked.
"So we can go outside." Anna said. "It's summer. We should have some fun."
"I'm the Queen now." Elsa said. "You know I can't just take time off and play as if we were children."
"I didn't mean play." Anna said. "I mean that we should go into town. We should talk to the people. Most of them haven't seen you since Kristoff and I became engaged. It's important for people to see their Queen."
"Perhaps you're right." Elsa said.
Jafar and Amara now reached the first castle gates, which were closed and guarded by two soldiers with swords. Behind these gates was a bridge that ran across the water and directly up to the castle doors.
"We'd like to see the Queen." Jafar said. "It's very important."
"I can't allow that sir." One of the guards said.
"Please." Amara said.
"No." The second guard said.
"We'll we did ask nicely." Jafar said to Amara before turning his gaze back to the guards. "We're going to see the Queen."
Jafar then raised his arms and the two guards went flying up into the air and fell into the waters behind them. Amara then used her magic to break the lock on the gate and open the doors. The two then calmly walked along the bridge as they approached the castle doors.
"Your majesty!" A guard yelled as he ran down the stairs while Elsa and Anna were still standing by the front doors. "Someone's broken through the gate. They're coming across the bridge now. You must move away from the doors."
Elsa paused for a moment, then looked at Anna.
"Go with him." Elsa said. "I'll stay here and fight them, whoever they are, but I won't let anything happen to you."
"No." Anna said. "I'm not leaving you."
"There's no time to argue. You have to leave now." Elsa said.
The two sisters then moved to the center of the room with the guard, away from the door.
"I won't let you do this alone." Anna said.
"Anna..." Elsa began to say.
Suddenly, the castle doors opened, allowing Jafar and Amara to stand in the threshold.
"Who dares invade my kingdom and my castle." Elsa said in a threatening tone.
"I am Jafar." The dark wizard said. "This is Amara."
"You have something here that we need." Amara said. "Give it to us and we'll be on our way."
"You can't just burst into my castle and demand something from the Queen." Elsa said. "Leave now, while I still allow it."
Jafar, Amara, and Anna could feel the room getting colder. The two sorcerers from Agrabah grew confused, but Anna knew what was happening. Elsa was getting angry. The royal guard drew up his sword and threatened to attack.
"Your weapons don't scare us." Jafar said as he thrusted his arm forward and sent the guard flying backwards into the farthest wall, rendering him unconscious.
"Now you've attacked one of royal guards, a citizen of Arendelle." Elsa said, almost yelling.
"What is it you want?" Anna asked, hoping to avoid a fight between her sister and the two strangers.
"A special bottle." Amara said.
"Is it gold with a strange pattern on it and some jewels?" Anna asked.
"Exactly." Amara said. "That's all we want."
"I know where that is." Anna said. "It's in my bedroom. I found it in the castle when I was younger. I thought it was so pretty and I just kept it in there all this time. I'll go get it."
"You'll do no such thing." Elsa said. "No one invades my kingdom, storms my castle, hurts my citizens, and then gets what they want. You two will leave now."
Tiny snowflakes started to form in the air. Elsa's power was growing more unstable.
"I was hoping it wouldn't have to come to this." Jafar said.
The dark wizard then raised his arm, magically making Anna rise in the air as well.
"Put her down!" Elsa yelled.
"Not until we get the bottle." Amara said.
Jafar then spread out his fingers. At the same time, Anna's arms and legs started to pull away from her. Anna screamed in pain.
"I care nothing for this sister of yours." Jafar said. "I'll break her into pieces unless I get the bottle." Jafar said. "Tick, tock."
