Chapter 7
Planet: Earth, Location: North Mountain, Time: July 3, 1841 04:00 A.M.4 hours into The Great Freeze
Grimlock's POV
I followed Elsa up the North Mountain. I almost was at the top of the mountain when I heard Elsa start singing.
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation,
And it looks like I'm the Queen.
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I tried
Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
Well, now they know
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door
I don't care
What they're going to say
Let the storm rage on,
The cold never bothered me anyway
It's funny how some distance
Makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me
Can't get to me at all
It's time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me
I'm free
Let it go, let it go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You'll never see me cry
Here I stand
And here I'll stay
Let the storm rage on
My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I'm never going back,
The past is in the past
Let it go, let it go
And I'll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone
Here I stand
In the light of day
Let the storm rage on,
The cold never bothered me anyway
As she sang I saw her shoot ice and snow from her hands. I was very impressed by the display of her powers. What was really surprised me the most is when she made a staircase of ice, and made an ice castle. But the thing that made me cry energon tears was when she changed her dress to an icy blue color because it showed her true colors. I had to talk to her and tell her the truth. I changed back to my human form, walked to the front door, and knocked. The door opened up by itself and I walked in. Everything inside the castle was amazing. I called Elsa's name. She appeared at the top of the staircase.
"Michael, what are you doing here," she asked.
I knew it was now or never. I closed my eyes and transformed into my real form. To say she was surprised was understatement.
"Grimlock, you're Michael," she asked.
"Surprise," I said nervously.
"Why didn't you tell me," she said getting angry.
"Because there would be no way to show you the truth, and knowing you, you would ask for proof, and I couldn't give you the proof because I'm a robot, and that would be easily seen in a castle with at least over 400 people," I shouted.
I looked at Elsa with sad optics.
"I'll never be good enough for you, and I understand if you don't want to talk or see me again," I said heading to the door. "Grimlock, wait," called Elsa.
But I already was gone, and I never was coming back.
(Grimlock, and Elsa's sad song, Stay by Florida Georgia Line)
I'd sell my soul just to see your face.
And I'd break my bones just to heal your pain.
In these times I need a saving grace, but time is running out and I'm starting to lose my faith.
But if I told you I loved you, would it make you want to stay?
I'm sorry for the way I hurt you and making you walk away.
(I should have took the time to tell you)
And if I wrote you a love song and sang it to you every day, would it ever be enough to make you wanna come back home and stay?
(I can't go another day without you)
Would it make you, make you, wanna stay?
(Girl you gotta know I love you)
Elsa's POV
I screwed up, and I knew I was never going to see Grimlock again. Then I noticed something on the floor. It was a piece of paper with four letters on it. The letters were L-O-V-E. I realized Grimlock loved me as well. Then I heard a knock and my name was called.
Anna's POV
I walked into Elsa's ice castle hoping she was here, and she was. We talked for a few minutes and then everything went wrong. I should have know that Elsa was unhappy and didn't want to return to the kingdom. She hit my heart with her ice. As I fell to the floor Kristoff ran over to me and helped me up. I asked her one last time if she would come back and I told her I would not leave without her. I watched helplessly as she made an ice monster and the monster threw us outside. I got mad at it and threw a snowball at it. Then the monster chased us down the mountain and we jumped of the cliff into the valley below.
Grimlock's POV
As I walked down the mountain I thought about Elsa and I tried shoving her out of my processor but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't stop thinking about her. Then I heard voices, it was Hans voice and several other men. My best guess was that they were trying to find Anna, but then I saw the direction the were heading. They were heading up the mountain towards Elsa. I got as close as I could to them and I saw that the Duke's lackeys were in the group. Now knowing that Elsa was in possible danger. I ran as fast as I could up the mountain. Unfortunately the group saw me and the order was given to capture me by any means necessary. A rope was thrown around my arm and then my other arm was caught in another rope I pulled as hard as I could, but I failed to break free. I fell to the ground, exhausted. Then Hans walked up to me.
"Well looks I got you monster, you will be perfect to help me take over the kingdom and kill Queen Elsa and end this accursed winter. All I need to do now is control you," he said, and he laughed maniacally. I snarled, but stopped as a three memories resurfaced.
Planet: Earth, Location: North Mountain, Time: December 22, 1828 07:00 A.M.
The first memory was playing in the snow with Elsa and making a snowman called Olaf.
Planet: Cybertron, Location: Shockwave's Lab, Time: 48 Mega-Cycles before the launch of the Ark.
The second memory, was showing Grimlock getting experimented on and being turned into a dinobot.
Planet: Cybertron, Location: Shockwave's Space Bridge Tower, Time: 1 Mega-Cycle from launch of the Ark
The third memory was getting cuffed by Shockwave and being taunted by him.
"You didn't think I'd build something so powerful as you and not have a way to control it. Now sit there like a good pet while I finish my work," said Shockwave of the past.
"No-one controls Grimlock," said Grimlock of the past as he transformed from a robot to a dinosaur.
As I returned from the memories I realized I could still help Elsa, and using whatever strength I had left I summoned all the rage I could and transformed into my dino form. My roar echoed through the entire valley.
Han's POV
I thought I had won when the monster fell to the ground but suddenly the monster made a loud sound and shape-shifted into a much bigger monster. Then it roared so loudly it was almost deafening.
Anna's POV
I was cold, and freezing. Then I heard a very loud roar that echoed very loudly through the valley.
"Kristoff," I said in whisper.
"Yeah," he said.
"Did you hear that very loud roar," I asked.
"Yeah, it sounded like it came from the North Mountain but right now we need to focus on getting you to Hans," he said.
"Okay, wait," I said.
"What," asked Kristoff.
"Elsa is in danger, please take me up there," I said.
I heard Kristoff urge Sven, back towards the mountain, and I blacked out.
Elsa's POV
As sat in my castle thinking about Grimlock I heard a very loud roar from the bottom of the mountain. "I wonder what that was," I said to myself.
Grimlock's POV
I knew I had to get away from Hans so I did what my instincts told me to do. I used my tail to break some trees and I breathed fire onto the trees. The trees ignited into flames cutting me off from Han's. I turned and ran as fast as I could up the mountain to Elsa. I got up to the top of the mountain and crashed into the entrance to Elsa's castle.
Elsa's POV
I was walking down the stairs to find out what the roar was and then a big monster crashed through the doors of my castle. The big monster shape-shifted into Grimlock.
"Grimlock, you came back," I said.
"Elsa you need to escape, Hans is on his way up here to kill you, I will protect you as you escape, now go," he said deploying some sort of sword and shield.
"I'm not leaving you," I said.
"Elsa, this isn't up for discussion," said Grimlock.
Just then an explosion rocked the castle. The ice chandelier which was hanging directly above me started falling. I saw it falling and I screamed. Then a pair of hands pushed me out of the way. When I got up I saw the chandelier had pierced Grimlock in the chestplate.
"Noooooooooooo," I screamed as I ran over to Grimlock's sparking body. My vision had come true.
Grimlock's POV
I heard Elsa scream and I saw the chandelier falling. I pushed her out the way, but I knew I wasn't going to be able to avoid the ice. The ice struck me right in my spark, and I knew that I was going to die.
I fought to stay awake, but the pain was excruciating, and I knew I didn't have long. I heard Elsa run over to me. She tried to remove the ice from my chestplate, but it broke off leaving a good amount of ice inside.
"Why did you take the ice for me?" Elsa asked.
"Because some people are worth dying for," I said as my spark started fading.
"Grimlock don't leave me," said Elsa.
I lifted my arm and pointed at her heart and said my last words.
"I'm not, I'll always be there," I said.
The last thing I saw as my optics shut down for the last time was Elsa crying over me.
