Takeo ran back to the snow bank and grabbed his Arisaka. He watched as Dempsey and Elsa, and two halves of Dempsey's M16, were carried away, and the battalion along with Prince Hans, rode back down the mountain to return to Arrendelle.
"Takeo thinks he should be heading back now!" Taeko said to himself.
Takeo put his rifle away, then started to head back down the mountain, in an effort to get back to the Kingdom.
Richtofen and Nikolai were continuing to run, and they were not getting to far as they were on foot. Sven, Kristoff's reindeer, passed them, carrying Anna, Kristoff, and Olaf.
"We'll see you there!" Kristoff called back.
"OH! LET'S GO KISS HANS!" Olaf screamed.
Richtofen and Nikolai stopped, catching their breath.
"We'll never get there in time." Nikolai said.
"Well, if I had another Gersh Device, we could be on our way right now!" Richtofen scolded.
"It's not my fault the device broke!" Nikolai struck back.
"It's neither of our faults..." Richtofen calmed down. "I slipped on the Queen's ice, remember?"
"So...it's yours and the Queen's fault?"
"Nein Nikolai. If we are to be placing the blame on anyone, it's that stupid Gersh back in the Cosmodrome!" Richtofen said.
"Ah! It makes perfect sense!" Nikolai realized.
"Never the less, we need to get back, we need to somehow get out of here, back home." Richtofen said.
"But Nikolai doesn't want to go!" Nikolai whined. "Nikolai has plenty of time to drink now that there are no zombies around to eat our flesh!"
"Ah but you forget Nikolai, if we do things correctly, we may have a chance to be sent back to our time without any zombies." Richtofen said.
Nikolai was beginning to doubt Richtofen however, he knew that Richtofen was the only person who could get them home.
"Fine, fine, let's just go get the fucking device!" Nikolai groaned.
"That's better." Richtofen said.
Richtofen re-initiated his sprint, and Nikolai followed behind.
Arrendelle...
Elsa and Dempsey were placed in the castle dungeons as they were unconscious. Dempsey had his bandoiler removed from his body, so that his equipment could be analyzed along with the broken M16, and Richtofen's broken Gersh Device. So far, the castle guards couldn't make heads or tails with how the technology could be a hundred years beyond their time, or how such technological advancements could have been possible. The only thing they didn't worry about was Richtofen's Wunderwaffe DG-2.
"If our fragile Queen of the present can wield the powers of winter, then it is no coincidence that tough men of the future can wield the power of thunder." An analyst stated.
The only conclusion they could come up with, commenting on the Marine being held in the cell was that, his and his other three allies could be from a world full of evil and technological advancements where the world had been devastated because of it, or indeed, the items placed in front of them were not of the 19th Century but, of the yet to be(for them) 20th Century, just as the four soldiers have claimed.
This made the analysts feel uneasy, as if the second opinion was true, then the destructive future has come back a century earlier to poison and destroy the world with their advancements. In addition to, they already have a problem, and that was the Queen's powers and the eternal winter that layed upon Arrendelle.
Some of the guards wanted to execute Dempsey and Elsa, then go after the other three before damage could spread, but Prince Hans gave strict orders and said no. They need more information, of the future from Dempsey, and Elsa needed to stay alive in order for his plan to work.
The Queen was the first one whom Hans was to approach first.
As Hans was walking down the dark halls of the dungeons, lighting his way with an oil lantern, he could here screams coming from Dempsey.
"HEY! YOU CAN'T KEEP ME IN HERE! NO ONE KEEPS DEMPSEY IN CHAINS!"
Luckily for him, Elsa's cell was far apart from Dempsey's so his noise was reduced as Hans approached Elsa's cell door. He heard a faint whisper from the Queen, which was most likely her talking to herself.
"What have I done…?"
He opened the door and shined the light inside, and stepped in. Her hands were completely covered by cuffs so that her powers may be kept at bay for the time being.
"Why did you bring me here?" Elsa asked.
Hans put down his lantern then said, "I couldn't just let them kill you."
"But I'm a danger to Arrendelle! Get Anna…and…" Elsa paused. She re-gathered her thoughts as to what happened at the raid of her ice palace. "Is "He" alright?"
"Mister Dempsey, is fine but I'm afraid that Princess Anna, or the other three have not returned."
Elsa gasped at the fact her sister wasn't back in Arrendelle, and she looked down at herself, attempting to hold back tears due to the possibility of her sister losing her life, and she might not be able to thank Dempsey for saving her life from his weapons, even though she was shocked of the destructive capabilities that one little palm sized ball caused.
"If you would stop the winter, and bring back summer, please."
"But can't you see? I CAN'T. You need to tell them to let me go."
"I will do what I can."
Hans exited her cell, leaving Elsa was left to grieve even more . One, her sister. Two, her savior. And Three, the future.
Hans had to now question Dempsey, the US Marine of the 20th Century future, who could possibly tell him what the future may be like. As he was nearing the dungeons section to where Dempsey's cell was, he noticed a couple of guards on the ground, gasping for air.
"What happened?" Hans asked.
The guard was unable to speak, and he pointed to the inside of the cell. There was one more guard on the ground, with the cell and cuff keys on the ground beside him, and the guard was cuffed.
"He escaped sir, he's…too strong."
Hans stood up and was going to call the guards at his disposal to recapture Dempsey. He wondered based off what he has seen, if it was even possible.
Dempsey was going around the castle in a stealthy manner, avoiding contact with the guards as much as possible. He listened to the guards and found the location of his equipment.
"I wonder if the items from the soldiers are done being analyzed in the throne room."
That's all that Dempsey needed to here. He headed towards the throne room to retrieve his equipment, carefully sneaking past the guards. He slowly put his hand on the doorknob, then noticed that the coast was clear. His equipment lied near the throne, and there was not only Dempsey's things, but Richtofen's as well. The broken Gersh Device lay beside his last few grenades, knife, and pistol, along with his broken M16. He figured he'd bring the Gersh device along anyway.
He wrapped the bandolier around his body, strapped his two grenades to him, put the knife back in its holster, back on the bandolier, and lastly the pistol, with a clip beside it. He held his empty M1911 in his hand, and took the last magazine he had left, and loaded the pistol.
"Eight shots…got it." He said, cocking the pistol, adding it to his bandolier.
He left the M16 on the ground as he knew that the people of this time would have no knowledge to repair or fire the weapon anyway.
He turned around to exit the throne room, but he found a group of six guards armed with spears and swords blocking the entrance.
"Oh…that's how it's gonna be. I get it."
"GET HIM."
The guards began to slowly approach Dempsey, blocking any signs of fear that they may have for him.
"This is gonna turn out REAL bad…for YOU GUYS!"
He took his knife from his holster and slowly began to approach. Dempsey and the guards stood face to face, then Dempsey quickly grasped the guards spear and swiped it from him, kicking him down. The other guards tried to hit Dempsey but instead, they ended up hitting themselves as Dempsey was a little quicker than them while at the same time he gave them hard hits with the ends of his spear. Seeing all the guards down on the ground, groaning, he dropped his spear, and put his knife back into his holster.
He then picked up one of the guards swords placed in its holster, then looked he took out the sword and looked at it.
"Not a Bowie Knife but, at least it'll do me fine." He smirked.
He dropped the holster and held the sword in his hand.
"Elsa's gonna need my help. Poor Gal won't survive without me."
Outside of Arrendelle, Anna and Kristoff were still riding Sven, trying to get Anna back to Hans so that he may reverse the cold curse. They entered the city and spilt up with Olaf, who spilt from them, going to another side of the city. They reached the front gates, and Kristoff got off Sven and carried Anna, who was still shivering from her icy heart.
"Are you gonna be ok?" She asked.
"Don't worry about me." Kristoff responded.
The gates opened, and two female servants, along with one male servant, came to greet them. They were worried for the princess, and they lent her their support to walk back into the castle.
"Get her warm and find Prince Hans immediately." Kristoff said.
"We will, thank you." The male servant responded.
They brought Anna inside, and the gates were shut once more. Kristoff, who was now sad of the fact he could do nothing more for her, started to walk away from the castle and the city, with Sven following him, who could feel Kristoff's concern. Sven also wanted to help Anna, but since he couldn't do anything on his own, he had to follow Kristoff.
Takeo had made it back towards Arrendelle, and he walked past Kristoff and his reindeer.
"Oh, giving up so soon?" He asked.
Kristoff didn't look up, he just kept walking.
"Takeo has very bad feeling, Takeo must go."
Takeo ran towards the front gates, and the guards recognized him, and had the gates opened for him.
"Aah, easy…too easy."
There were no guards or anyone to escort him in so, he just let himself into the castle. He began to wander the halls to find the one who was in charge, Prince Hans. He knew that Hans could probably trust Takeo after his support he offered him and his troops back in the mountain. Wandering the unusually empty halls of the castle, he heard the faint sound of Hans' voice coming from the other side of a door.
"As thirteenth in line..."
Takeo couldn't hear that clearly so, he pressed an ear against the door and heard something treacherous come from the other side.
"…you were willing to marry me just like that! I figured after we married, I'd stage a little accident for Elsa."
"HANS. No…stop."
Takeo recognized Anna's weak voice. Hans spoke again.
"Then she doomed herself, and you were dumb enough to go after her. All that's left now is to…kill Elsa, and bring back summer. AND, I'll get rid of the four, it will save us from tragedy."
"You're no match for them, or Elsa!"
"No, it is you who's no match for any of them. I on the other hand, will be the hero who saves Arrendelle from destruction."
Takeo has heard enough so, if Hans was coming after him, then he needed to catch him off-guard, so Takeo could strike first. He watched from a distance, out of his vision, a confident, yet sad, Prince Hans.
"Fake…" Takeo grumbled.
He followed Prince Hans quietly, and saw him go into a room, unsure of what room it was. He then overheard the conversation through the door. He was hearing voices he didn't recognize, the only voice he could recognize was the Duke of Weselton's voice. Hans fed them the fake story, telling them that Anna has died, and they were able to say their marriage vows.
"Prince Hans, Arrendelle looks to you."
"With a heavy heart, I charge Queen Elsa of Arrendelle with treason, and sentence her to death."
"But Hans, what about the four men? What of our future?" The Duke asked.
"The four men have to be erased. They were never here. They were never supposed to be here in the first place."
Takeo then backed away from the door, and walked away.
"Hmm…" Takeo began to think of a plan.
He thought and thought, and knew obviously Hans may trust him. Takeo would try and trick Prince Hans at his own game.
"When he exits the room, I will follow him, then strike when time is right. Excellent…" Takeo whispered to himself.
Prince Hans exited the room finally, and noticed Takeo.
"Something the matter?" Takeo asked.
"No…I actually need your help. Follow me." Hans responded.
Dempsey was down in the dungeons, at the door of Elsa's cell. He looked in, noticing her cell was freezing up, thanks to her powers.
"Just leave me Dempsey!" Elsa begged. "I'll be fine!"
"I don't take that attitude your highness!" Dempsey yelled.
He then began to bash at the door with his body. While he was doing that, Elsa was trying to pull off her cuffs, which were frozen. At that moment, Dempsey heard voices of approaching guards, which forced him to summon all of his strength to break down the door.
"WOW..." Elsa gasped, still trying to pull her cuffs off.
"Just break it!"
It was Elsa's turn to find her strength to pull off the cuffs. She then used her powers to break the brick wall to run outside into the fjord. Dempsey joined her, and they were running on the icy, frozen water.
"I just wanted to give my thanks to you Corporal!" Elsa said.
"Since when the hell was I "Corporal" to you! And, yeah, you're welcome! It's kinda my job to save people and look awesome doing it!"
"I just wanted to say so that it's out there! I really don't think you guys are all that bad!"
"OH YEAH?! Same to you!"
Outside the city, Kristoff and Sven had just climbed to the top of the hill to head more inland. It was there, they encountered Richtofen and Nikolai, both exhausted.
"Where in the world are you going?" Richtofen asked.
Kristoff didn't answer, and Sven was constantly looking worriedly back at Arrendelle.
"Da! I agree!" Nikolai suddenly said.
"Obviously!" Richtofen shouted. "Hey Kristoff, the town is the other way!" He pointed towards Arrendelle.
"Can't you see I'm walking away, there's nothing more I can do for her." Kristoff groaned.
Sven then stepped in, and made Kristoff take steps back in Arrendelle's direction, while making some coarse grunts.
"I don't speak reindeer, what did he say?" Richtofen asked.
"I can't understand him when he talks like that." Kristoff said.
He continued to try and walk back up the hill, then Sven raised Kristoff into the air with his horns, and knocked him down.
"What?! What's his problem?" Kristoff wondered.
"We need to go back to city! Isn't it obvious comrade?" Nikolai said.
"NO! I'm not going back!" Kristoff then looked straight at Sven. "WE, are not going back. She's with her true love!"
Sven looked at Kristoff with a begging look on his face.
"What in the name of Rasputin is that?!" Nikolai suddenly yelled.
The wind began to pick up, and there was a snow storm forming down in Arrendelle.
Richtofen and Nikolai took off as quickly as they could, and then both Kristoff and Sven followed behind.
Hans was about to step outside of the cell to go and confront Elsa to kill her, but he heard a click sound behind him, and saw Takeo raising his rifle at him, while behind him, four guards were pointing spears at his back.
"You disgust me you vile worm!" Takeo spat.
"And what would you know?" Hans turned and smirked. "Hmmm?"
"Betraying the Princess, leaving her to freeze, while you rise and take what is not yours!"
"Takeo speaks of nonsense! GUARDS."
Takeo quickly reacted by turning his rifle muzzle down to the ground, and fired a shot. One guard suddenly began to squeal in pain. "MY FOOT!" The other three guards bent down to help the downed guard.
Takeo put his rifle on his back, then equipped his katana.
"That is Captain Takeo Masaki to you!"
He lunged forward and push-kicked Hans out into the storm. And he hopped in as well, pushing through the wind, with his katana in hand.
"DEMPSEY!" He called out.
He heard something faint. "HEY TAKEO! OVER HERE!"
"WHERE?!"
Takeo heard the sound of a sword rubbing against the holster, and he turned and put his katana behind his back. It was Prince Hans who was trying to fight him.
"Bring it." Hans growled.
"It has already been brought!"
The two continued to collide swords however, due to the harsh winds, they were caught off guard, and fell over. When Takeo got up, Hans was already gone, which made Takeo put his sword back into the holster.
"Coward…" He spat.
"TAKEO!" Dempsey called out.
He saw Dempsey running towards him, holding a sword, covered in snow.
"Hey get over here. Princess is in trouble!"
Takeo followed Dempsey through the ever growing snowstorm.
"Prince Hans is a traitor!" Takeo screamed.
"YEAH! NO SHIT! I NEVER LIKED HIM ANYWAY!" Dempsey responded.
As they kept running, they made it to Princess Anna.
"Come on Sweet cakes, KEEP MOVING!" Dempsey barked.
"I need…Kristoff…" She spoke weakly.
"DEMPSEY! DEMPSEY IS THAT YOU?!"
This time, it was the voice of Richtofen.
"YEAH! IT'S ME!" Dempsey yelled back.
The wind made a giant impact on Dempsey and then he fell down face first on the ice, and dropped Richtofen's broken Gersh Device.
"Dem…Dem-"
"I'm fine Anna! JUST GO!" He screamed.
Takeo held Anna for support, and tried to keep his ears open for Hans.
"Wait…"
"…I tried to save her but it was too late…"
Takeo and Anna both continued to walk forward, then Takeo heard Richtofen screaming in disbelief. "NO! THE WUNDERWAFFE! COME BACK!"
In a miraculous moment, the storm finally cleared up. The Wunderwaffe DG-2 then landed on the hard lake ice, near the broken Gersh Device and aggressive beeps came from the device, and it suddenly exploded, releasing it's electrical energy and Element 115 powering it. To Richtofen, everything appeared to have come to a stand still.
"WHAT IS HAPPENING?!"
Richtofen walked, and saw that everything was indeed frozen in time. Everyone was standing still. Dempsey appeared to have the facial expression as if he's screaming loudly again. Takeo was raising his rifle, pointed towards Hans, who was holding a sword near Elsa. Kristoff and Sven were standing there while it appeared to be as if Anna was running towards Elsa.
"Hmm...either I'm so fast, or I'm high, or I'm dead, which is it?"
"YOU'RE DEAD EDWARD!" A demonic voice in his head said.
"NEIN! Get out of mein head Samantha!"
The fjord started to lighten up then everyone on the lake, along with the frozen boats, and the town, began to disappear.
"YA! HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAA! BYE! BYE!"
