Chapter 8: Cold Battle


Soon the Duke of Weselton along with his thugs approached Hans in anger as the Duke exclaimed

"Well I hope you finally come to your sense boy, the treatment in Arendelle is unacceptable! I've being in jailed for trying to save this place from a witch!"

"Hold your tongue Weselton! I've brought you here to inform that you were right, Elsa is a monster, she's murdered her own sister..." Hans sternly spoke.

The Duke of Weselton was silent for a moment before nodding and clearing his throat

"I see...that...*ahem*...This is unfortunate and my condolences..." He softly apologized.

"I've summoned you here because I want you and your thugs to join with the soldiers and help them being Elsa to justice" Hans replied.

"Me?! B-But I can't fight! I'm too old and weak!" The Duke frightfully said.

"Don't be foolish, Weselton, You won't fight her...But you will get the chance to bring me her head and I shall reward anything" Hans said.

"Anything?" The Duke asked.

"Yes" Hans nodded.

The Duke grinned and clears his throat before asking

"Where shall we find the witch, your highness?"

"According to where Anna came back, she came from the North Mountains and I'm suspecting that's where her sister is" Hans replied.

"How do you know that?" The Duke asked.

Soon Hans looks up to see dark clouds surrounding the North Mountains and when the Duke looks out there, Hans replied

"Does that answer your question?"

"Yes" The Duke nodded.

Later on, Elsa was still trying to calm down so she wouldn't lose control of her powers when she heard footsteps coming towards the door as she prepares herself to strike just in case until she sees Olaf running up to the floor and was panting.

"Oh boy, I'm out of shape" Olaf panted.

"Olaf? What are you doing here?" Elsa asked.

"Elsa, something bad is happening, Some mean men are coming with an old ugly dude with a funny beard" Olaf warned.

"The Duke of Weselton?!" Elsa gasped.

Suddenly she hears marching outside as she opens the doors on top of her kingdom and sees Arendelle soldiers with the Duke of Weselton and his thugs.

"Arendelle soldiers? Why are they here?!" Elsa asked in shock.

"Behold, gentlemen! The witch's lair! Be careful inside gentlemen but remember she must be killed no matter what" The Duke said to the men.

Elsa glares at the Duke and yells

"You are not welcome in my castle!"

The men looked up to see Elsa as the Duke glares back at her.

"There she is, Prepare to attack, gentlemen" The Duke growled.

"I command you all to leave this place and return to Arendelle at once!" Elsa shouted.

"A Duke follows no orders from a witch!" The Duke hissed.

"You are no Duke, Weaselton...You're a spineless old coward!" Elsa hissed back.

The Duke grew angrier at Elsa as he bellows

"Kill her!"

The men fire their crossbows at Elsa as she slams the top doors inside before Olaf cries

"You have to get out of here Elsa or they'll kill you"

"No! I'm not going to run this time...They've being warned, now I'm going to send them back" Elsa refused.

She then stomps her feet on the ground as soon she begins to create an army of giant snow men like her last one she created to keep Anna and the others out.

"We're under attack, Protect your queen and send them back to where they come" Elsa commanded the snow men.

The leader, Marshmallow nods and roars to inform the others to attack. Soon they stomped outside and begin to fight the soldiers.

"What the?!" The Duke asked.

"W-What do we do now?" One of the Duke's thugs asked.

Soon the Duke sees the front door opened as he said

"Follow me boys"

The Duke and his thugs quickly enter the castle as Elsa watches the rest of her army defeating the soldiers as they fled from her castle. Suddenly she turns to see the Duke and her thugs aiming their weapons at her.

"We got you now, witch" The Duke hissed.

"Leave now or so help me, I won't hesitate to stop you"

"Fire!" The Duke ordered his thugs.

As soon as the thugs and the Duke fire their crossbows, Elsa stops them with her ice shield. Eventually she knew that's no stopping them, it's to fight or die now. And so without a moment sooner, Elsa uses his powers to pin the Duke and his two thugs to the wall with ice spikes, with one ice spike pointing each to their necks.

Elsa then destroys the weapons with her ice powers before walking to the trapped men.

"You men and your weapons, without them, you're just useless and weak...Never mess with the power of ice and snow" Elsa sternly said.

"P-Please! Don't kill us!" The Duke panicked.

"Kill you? No...I'm not gonna kill you but this is your last warning, leave now and never come back" Elsa warned before letting the men go and staying cautious.

The Duke just then chuckles deviously

"You little fool, you don't even have the guts to save yourself, now we're going to end this winter once and for all"

Elsa couldn't believe it, she spared their lives and they're still going to kill her. She glares at them as ice begins to grew more around the walls.

"If you lay a hand on me Weaselton, My sister will have all of your heads chopped off" Elsa threatened.

"Your sister is dead, witch" The Duke hissed.

Elsa's glare vanished suddenly as those words hit her like an arrow to her heart as she slowly spoke out

"W...What?"

"Your sister is dead, her body is nothing but a frozen statue..." The Duke venomously replied.

Elsa step back a bit as she soon remembers hitting her chest with her powers before she suddenly remembers what Pabble says about the heart is not so easily healed by magic when she was a young girl. She was frightened of what the Duke says was true but she tries to deny it.

"No...No you're lying...She's not dead!" Elsa denied.

"Your sister is dead, you killed her and all of Arendelle is doomed because of you!" The Duke accused.

"N-No..." Elsa sobbed.

"Now you will be punished by death as we will finally end your demonic life!" The Duke announced as the thugs pull out their daggers and moves in closer to Elsa.

Elsa has finally reached her limit as she furiously turns back at the trio and screams

"Shut up!"

She waves her hands upwards as ice spikes quickly rise and pieced through the thugs's chest like swords, killing them instantly as the Duke cried out in alarm. Elsa's rage didn't stop as she glares at the Duke before growling out

"Get out...Get out!"

She waves her hands once more as a gust of strong wind blew the Duke away as the old man trips over the icicle stairs and falls down screaming until Elsa heard a sick crunch and thump below as she looks down to see the Duke at the entrance, dead with his skull cracked wide open and his neck twisted a bit.

Blood was leaking out of the Duke's mouth and skull before Elsa felt more blood from the Duke's thugs as their bodies were hanging from the ice spikes that stabbed through their chests. Elsa soon realizes what she's done as Olaf was shocked too before he whimpers

"W-What did you do?"

Elsa was lost for words, she didn't want to hurt anyone nor kill anyone. She just wanted to be alone and free but even sadly that wish couldn't come true. She looks at Olaf before sobbing

"Go to Arendelle and find Anna...please"

"Elsa-!" Olaf started.

"Go..." Elsa stuttered.

"Elsa, listen to me, I-!" Olaf started again.

"Just go! Get out! Just don't come back till you find Anna! Get out!" Elsa cried.

Olaf tearfully left the castle as Elsa flees to next room where it was quiet and empty as she leans on her icy throne and begins to sob and panic before more icicle spikes spreads around the kingdom like vines.
