Save Arendale
The women and Kristoff drove back to the city in silence. Both anxious and readying themselves for what they had to face. Anna leaned against Elsa as they stared out the window. She knew her sister was going to have to go out and fight the bad guys. And it was her duty, she was a hero. She only wished she could help.
Elsa took deep breaths to steady her nerves. She'd never faced a threat this big before. This was going to be her first major disaster since her start as a superhero. She was scared. She looked at her hand. She could feel her magic slowly coming back to her. But she hadn't forgotten what that…thing had done to her. It nearly killed her. Her ribs still ached and hurt from when it had squeezed her. That thing…whatever it was, it was more powerful than her.
"Meg, do you know what PH has in mind?" Jane asked from the front. She wondered why PH was so sure she could take the two giant monsters they had to face. And what she meant when she said she had to prepare.
Meg smiled wide. Oh, she knew what PH had in mind. It made her excited. "She's going to go big girl," Meg informed her. Everyone looked at her and raised an eyebrow. Except Chel.
"Oh, I love it when she goes big girl," Chel squealed giddily.
"Big girl?" Belle asked in confusion.
"I've only seen her do it once. There are no words to describe it…when she goes like that. But trust me, she can handle those things," Meg said with absolute confidence.
Jane accepted her answer, though still not entirely sure what that meant. But magic was PH's expertise. So she just had to believe she could do it. She sighed before she smiled a little, glad she had such a reliable team on her side.
"This is so illegal," Jane said as she and the team looked into a garage unit Chel had rented.
"Very illegal," Belle said in agreement.
"This is sweet," Meg said happily.
Inside the unit was an armored black Humvee. Loaded with weapons and a mounted machine gun. Rummaging through the back Chel pulled out grenades, C4, and a reloadable RPG.
"Well, what do you think?" Chel said as she gestured to the cache of weapons.
Jane sighed and rubbed her temples. "Well given the circumstance, I suppose I'll let this slide. So, here what we'll do. Belle and Mulan, you get to the explosives first. We can't counterattack as long as those can be set off. Once you get them disarmed Chel and I will try to stall the stone cat while Meg and Ice Queen deal with the Titan."
"But my power will only make it stronger," Elsa reminded her.
"That's why you'll be getting this baby," Chel said as she picked up the RPG. She smiled wide as Elsa stared at it.
"Sound good?" Jane asked everyone. Everyone nodded in agreement. "Good, Belle and Mulan, take the SUV. We'll wait here for your signal."
Belle and Mulan nodded. Grabbing their things and a few more weapons they loaded into the SUV with Belle as the driver. Before they left, Belle clasped hands with Jane, her closest friend and wished them all luck.
The streets of Arendale were empty. The police were being ordered to remain at the station and were being told not to step outside because if they did thousands would die. Beneath the streets, in the center of the city, the cults had set up an array of advance explosives they obtained from Blackwood Tech. They didn't know why the business man known as Mor'du was so keen to give it to them. But they didn't much care. As long as they had this, they controlled everything.
A small squadron of their group had been tasked with guarding the explosives. They waited and watched diligently for any signs of intruders while waiting for the word to detonate them if necessary.
Suddenly they all heard footsteps. They raised their guns in preparation for an enemy, only to see Ping step around a corner. They lowered their guns at the sight of one of their own and relaxed.
"Sup Ping. Where ya been man?" one of them asked.
Ping shrugged as he continued to approach. "Finding and killing those damn NSA agents. Pain and panic said to report here for guard detail," he explained. They chuckled as he came to stand among their ranks.
Standing near the back, Mulan slowly started getting closer to the bombs. There was a main interface that could detonate them all at once if necessary. She had to get to it. She made her way over to it, being careful not to draw too much attention.
She looked around, she could make out one of the Sons holding a remote detonation. So even if she did guard the interface as long as he hit the trigger they would all blow. She also had no doubt Pain or Panic probably had one above ground somewhere as well.
She smiled to herself. But that was why their tech expert had given her a little jamming device. She placed into onto the interface, preventing an outside signal from reaching it and setting it off.
"Ping? What are you doing?" one of the men asked as he noticed her place the jamming device on it. She sighed and cursed mentally. Now or never. Whirling around she reached into her pocket and threw down some canisters of smoke followed by some flash bangs. They hit and went off in the center of the group, blinding and disorienting them as she began firing on them. She had come with an assault rifle as she fought, crouching low to try and keep from being hit.
Meanwhile, Belle charged through the smoke. Glove shield raised, she batted the men aside, knocking some out with a well-placed swing as she made her way over to Mulan and the interface. She handed her gloves to Mulan who took them before she kept up cover fire. She stood in front of Belle protectively as she worked. Deflecting fire with her shields.
The Sons called for backup, but hopefully Belle could shut down the explosive completely. Still, while they had the edge, she contacted Jane and told them it was time to counter attack.
Jane closed her phone after having received word form Belle to begin the counter attack.
"Alright ladies, let's go," Jane commanded. The women nodded. Chel climbed into the Humvee, jumping on the machine gun as she waited for Jane to take the driver's seat. While they had been waiting, they'd been lucky enough to find a motorcycle with a side car for Meg and Ice Queen to use. The plan was to let Ice Queen be seen so the Titan would come after her. In essence she'd be bait. It was risky, but she'd agreed to it.
Meg got onto the bike and started the engine. She revved it a little and looked to Ice Queen. Elsa was about to hop into the sidecar when she paused. She turned to look at Anna, who bit her lip and looked afraid, scared for her.
Elsa smiled as genuinely as she could as she stepped forward. She tilted her chin up to look her little sister in the eyes. And then she pulled her into a hug. Anna returned it, clinging to her desperately.
"Don't go," Anna whispered.
"I have to," Elsa replied. "I have to defend this city. But most of all," she pulled away to look into her eyes once more. "I have to protect you."
Anna's lips trembled. She wanted to beg her not to go. To stay with her. But that would be selfish. The reason Elsa decided to be a hero was to use her powers for good. This Anna always knew. But she was so scared of losing her. So scared of being alone.
She let go of her. And it took all her strength to step back and give her a pained smile. Tears came to her eyes as Elsa stepped back and turned around. She got into the side car and placed a helmet on. She gave Elsa one last look.
"Don't worry Anna. I'll be back," she said with a nod. "I just got to go kick some butt first" she said with narrowed eyes. Anna chuckled despite herself.
With that, Jane, Chel, Meg, and Elsa all drove off.
Hydros, under Hades control, stomped through the city uncontested. Thus far their demands were being met. No outside forces had yet to step in and try to challenge their rule. And their men were working on cutting the city off from the outside. Soon they would have permanent control.
Along with Hydros the giant stone jaguar prowled through the streets. Nimble despite its weight it moved effortlessly through the streets, scaring any would be wanderers not smart enough to have gone into their homes. Tzekel-kan smiled through his connection to the jaguar. Their alliance with the Sons had proved most fruitful.
Marching around their feet were their men. All armed and walking alongside their leaders. Suddenly, one of their walkie talkies went off. Pain and Panic listened as they heard gun fire coming from the other end. They listened as they were being told of one of their own turning traitor and one of the NSA agents disarming the bombs.
Hydros heard. He screeched in anger as he started making his way toward the center of the city. But suddenly something was making its way towards him. A small vehicle emitting a familiar magic source of energy. He looked down and noticed a small flash before suddenly.
KABOOM
He was hit with an explosive in the chest. He howled in fury as he nearly fell over. He was pushed back back a step by the force of the explosion. He narrowed his eyes and looked down. And he recognized the magic. It was Ice Queen.
"Nice shot Queenie. Now reload," Meg shouted as she kept driving at the Titan. Ice Queen nodded as she reached for another war head. Meg had shown her how it worked and she'd caught on fairly quickly. She loaded up another one and lifted the RPG onto her shoulder. Taking aim, she fired again. The war head sailed through the air before colliding with the Titan's face.
It screamed again as some of it body was blasted off. Cracks formed on its face. It still wasn't nearly as powerful as it had been all those millennia ago.
Tzekel-kan noticed the interference and was about to get the stone cat after them, when suddenly, he felt something hitting his side through the connection. He turned the stone cat around to see an armored car barreling down the street at them.
Chel smiled as she shouted and cursed at the stone cat. She fired the machine gun, reveling in its power as she riddled and cracked its stone hide. Jane drove quickly, weaving passed cars as she drove straight at it. She waited as the stone cat suddenly turned fully to face them.
Chel cursed at the cat before she shot it right in the eye, cracking the glass surface plate. Tzekel-kan howled as he brought a hand to his eyes. Downside tot eh connection is that he felt the pain the stone cat took. With a growl, he got the statue moving after the Humvee.
Jane hit the brakes before she got it turned around. The stone cat close behind.
Meg ad Elsa were already being pursued by the Titan. The Sons were also pursing in cars and vans, waving guns around and shouting death threats and the like.
Meg was actually smiling. Having a blast. She lived for danger. Glancing over her shoulder, she reached for some grenades in her side satchel. Pulling some out, she pulled out the pins with her teeth ad timed the countdown. Then she let them go. They rolled down the street before exploding. Some right under the pursing vehicles. Some in front. Either way, tires were busted, glass was broken, and people were killed.
Elsa had to swallow down some bile, but she knew this was life and death. Deciding to help out, she laid down a trial of ice. Causing the cars to lose traction and skid and slide before rolling over or crashing. Leaving only Hydros in pursuit.
"Good work Queenie. You rock," Meg shouted over the wind. Elsa smiled. But narrowing her eyes she looked back to the Titan still following them.
It wasn't over yet.
Jane and Chel flew through the streets of Arendale. Unable to lose their stone pursuer. Jane cursed as she took sharp turns to try and gain as much distance as possible. The plan was to get the titan ad jaguar as far away from each other as possible. As sort of divide and conquer tactic.
Chel shouted and beckoned for the stone cat to come at them as she fired at it. Her face snarl as she let her bullets fly. The stone cat pelted through the streets in pursuit. Occasionally leaping onto a building to avoid obstacles. It roared as it gained on them.
"Step on it England," Chel shouted. Jane already had her foot pressed down on the gas as hard as she could. She looked in the mirror to see it right behind them. She came to a fork in the street. She turned to take a sharp right, when the cat got in a lucky swipe. Chel immediately leapt back inside as they went rolling.
Jane shouted as everything went spinning before they came to a stop. She was upside down, worse for wear, but alive. She unbuckled herself and fell to the floor. She looked behind her too see Chel. Unmoving. She crawled to her and nudged her, earning a pain groan.
"So not fun," Chel murmured. Jane didn't say anything as she kicked open a door and dragged he rout as gently as she could. She pulled her out and tried to get her to a building, but heavy footsteps stopped her. She turned to see the stone cat above them. It towered over them menacingly.
Jane growled in frustration as she pulled out her gun and fired at it uselessly. A stall tactic if nothing else. Tzekel-kan laughed maniacally. He was enjoying this. But with a sigh, she stomped the ground, causing the woman to fall onto her backside from the force.
He made the stone cat rear up and roar. Hoping to frighten them as much as she could before he ended their lives.
Jane and Chel looked up and knew this was it. The stone cat raised a paw up, ready to crush the life out of them. It paused, basking in the moment. Watching their eyes wide and accepting of death. It was about to finally crush them, when the earth began to shake. The stone cat cocked its head, it wasn't moving. It craned its neck to look behind it. Tzekel-kan's eyes went wide at what he saw.
Chel leaned over to see what had drawn its attention. And her face split into the biggest grin. "Oh, you gone and fucked up now pendeco," she shouted at the cat. The cat placed its paw down, completely uninterested in the two women now.
"You pissed off the big girl," Chel said lowly. Jane raised an eyebrow as she leant over to get a look. She gasped.
"Big girl," was all she could think to say.
Marching toward the stone cat. Standing at 300 feet tall, was PH. Or her in her 'big girl' form as Meg and Chel called it. It was a giant a amalgamation of rock and wood. With twisting tree trunks as arms and legs and boulders for fists. It had vines for hair and a face resembling PH's formed out of wood and glowing white eyes. She looked to be wearing a fur skirt and top and on its head was a great crown of antlers. Every step shook and cracked the ground and grass appeared where her feet made contact.
In this form she was more like a forest god.
She continued her march as she made her way to the stone cat. Powerful and ready to fight.
