Wondering which villain our heroes are gonna face? Well, let's take it one a time. In this chapter, we'll be returning to Elsa in the world of Tangled. Enjoy. Read and review.
The friendly snowfall continues in Corona, courtesy of the royal family's guest. Elsa has spent her time building snowmen with the children. She has really won over the hearts of the people in the kingdom. She still wishes she was back home with her sister celebrating her birthday, but she is enjoying her time in Corona. Rapunzel and Eugene have made her feel welcome and she is beginning to see them like family.
"Looks like you're enjoying yourself," said Rapunzel.
"Well, the cold is my thing," said Elsa. "My powers are deadly but that doesn't mean they have to be."
"Eugene, is there something you would like to say to Elsa?" said Rapunzel, nudging her fiance on the shoulder.
"Alright, I admit it. She's nice," said Eugene. "It's nice to have you here, Elsa."
"It's nice to be here," said Elsa. "After an entire day surrounded by chaos and delinquency, it's nice to be in a peaceful kingdom."
Suddenly, an explosion occurs nearby, attracting the attention of everyone in the kingdom.
"I think you spoke too soon," quipped Eugene.
"I guess it's back to the game then," said Elsa, readying herself, as seen by the ice on her hands.
Rapunzel rides on Maximum towards the place where the explosion occurred, followed by Eugene and Elsa, on their own horses, as well as the castle's soldiers. What they saw outside the borders of the kingdom is an army, but it was an army none of them have seen before. They can see a legion of armed men dressed in white body armor. They have aircrafts hovering in the air, ready to fire. In the middle of the pack is a man dressed in black body armor with a lightsaber glowing red in hand.
"I'm guessing they're not from here," said Eugene.
"You're right," confirmed Elsa. "They're from somewhere else. They're here for me."
"How do you know that?" asked Rapunzel.
"Because I'm not from here," answered Elsa. "You guys have to go. I don't wanna risk anyone's lives for me."
"Not a chance," said Eugene. "We're going out there with you."
The captain of the Corona army came forward with his horse. "It's our duty to protect this kingdom. We will fight by your side, your highness."
All the soldiers raised their frying pans, ready for battle.
"I can just freeze you and leave you all here, but since you're brave, I'll allow you to help," said Elsa.
"Good thing we keep frying pans on these horses," said Eugene, picking up one.
"I can see how that is useful, but it still confuses me why your kingdom uses those instead of swords," said Elsa.
"One hit and they're out, simple as that," said Eugene.
"Trust me, he'd be in jail months ago without a frying pan in hand," said the captain.
"I think I'll stick with my powers," said Elsa. "But before we engage in battle, allow me to speak to them. Don't advance until I give the signal."
"What's the signal?" asked Rapunzel.
"Look to the skies," replied Elsa.
Elsa gets off her horse and walks towards the army.
"I wish to speak to your leader," she said.
Captain Phasma orders the Stormtroopers to make way for Kylo Ren to step foward, showing himself to the ice sorceress.
"Take off the mask," said Elsa. "A queen prefers to look at someone in the eye when they negotiate."
"If you insist," replied Kylo Ren. He takes off his mask, revealing the scarred face of a young man.
"Aren't you a little young to be leading an army?" questioned Elsa.
"My age does not matter. What matter is the power I wield," said Kylo Ren. "A power, I'm sure, you are familiar with."
"That's a lightsaber you're holding there," said Elsa, noticing the glowing blade in the young man's hands. "I have a friend who has one. Why would Maleficent send you after me instead of her?"
"I don't need to explain myself," said Kylo Ren. "Just surrender and come with us. There's a prince who would like to see you."
"Hans," guessed Elsa. "I would rather die by your hand than look at him in the face again."
"Then so be it," said Kylo Ren.
Elsa fires an ice blast into the air. Her allies were staring at the skies before realizing that it was the signal.
"Charge!" exclaimed Eugene.
Rapunzel, Eugene, and the army rode towards the unknown army. Before they can start whacking their enemies with their frying pans, the Stormtroopers and TIE Fighters started firing lasers, forcing the horses to retreat, leaving Elsa alone.
"What are they firing at us?" wondered Eugene.
"Whatever it is, it's hot and we definitely don't want to get hit," said Rapunzel, gesturing to the burnt spot on her dress. "We can't leave Elsa."
"The horses won't go," said the captain. "Except for Maximus."
"Leave the horses. Let's get out there," said Eugene.
Eugene rides with Rapunzel on Maximus as they charged to battle, with the soldiers following on foot. The Stormtroopers and the Corona army engage in battle. They were firing, but couldn't get a clear shot. The frying pans started clashing with the trooper's heads, staggering them and knocking them out.
Elsa watches the battle around her. Every time a Stormtrooper gets hit on the head, she cracks a smile. She looked away when she remembered that she was facing Kylo Ren.
"You're army is brave, but foolish," he said. "They will fall."
"Let them decide that," said Elsa. "As for you and me, well, only one of us will be begging for mercy."
"I learned you're a kind woman," said Kylo Ren. "You don't sound like one now."
"I'm only kind when I choose to be," said Elsa. "Everyone has a dark side, even me."
Kylo puts his mask back on. "I'm going to enjoy this."
Elsa raises her hand and looks at it, seemingly creating something. She closes her eyes, trying to concentrate. She creates a bracelet made out of ice, but it was more than just an ordinary bracelet. Attached to it is a blade with a surface as cold as ice and shines like an ice crystal facing the sun. She opens her eyes and takes a look at it. She has mixed feelings about what she created. It was beautiful, but it was also a weapon that can cause death.
"Your powers present clear danger, yet you use it to entertain children like your sister," insulted Kylo Ren. "Disappointing."
"Trust me, you won't be disappointed," said Elsa.
Kylo Ren charges at Elsa and strikes, but the ice sorceress uses the blade on her bracelet as a shield. Back and forth the blades clashed, but neither one can hit anything that isn't a weapon. Kylo Ren finds an opening, but before he can deliver a crucial blow, Elsa, in the blink of an eye, blocks his strike by creating another bracelet on her other wrist. Elsa finds an opening and strikes Kylo Ren on his side, causing him to step back. He clutches his side, trying to stop the bleeding. Elsa can see the blood on her blade. It hurts her to see such as sight, but she knew she had to defend herself.
Angered, Kylo Ren gets back in the fight and strikes relentlessly, letting rage strengthen him. Elsa blocks his strikes, but was blown back when Kylo Ren uses the force to push her back.
"Impressive," said Kylo Ren. "You have courage, you have spirit, but you lack ferocity."
"I don't need ferocity to drive me," said Elsa.
Elsa unleashes an ice blast, which Kylo Ren tried to keep back with the Force. Elsa increases the power of her blast by using her other hand, making it harder for Kylo Ren to hold back the icy beam coming towards him. Realizing he can't hold on any longer, he ceases and rolls out of the way before the ice and hit him.
"Do you need assistance, sir?" asked a Flametrooper.
Kylo Ren responds by taking the trooper's flame thrower with the Force and fires at Elsa. Elsa ducks and runs away. She fires an ice blast at the flame thrower and freezes it until it shatters. Elsa sends an ice blast one and another in a different direction. When the two blasts collided in front of Kylo Ren,
Meanwhile, Rapunzel and Eugene were barely holding their own against the Stormtroopers. Their aim was the opposite of deadly, but there have been a few close calls. Pascal entertained himself by leaping on top of the Stormtroopers and tricking them into blasting each other. Maximus was holding his own pretty well. He was kicking as many troopers as he can see and giving them "knuckle sandwiches".
"Hey, bucket head, your aim is about as bad as your outfit looks," insulted Eugene.
The trooper on the receiving end of the insult fires at a standing Eugene, but missed. Eugene charges and knocks it out with his frying pan.
"I wish I can say that was rude, but you make a good point," said Rapunzel. "They couldn't hit someone even ten feet away."
Suddenly, a laser blast knocks Rapunzel's frying pan off her hand. It was Captain Phasma. Rapunzel started running as Phasma continued firing.
"Don't mock the First Order, girl," she said as she continued firing.
Elsa and Kylo Ren returned to their lightsaber-to-blade duel. Despite never learning how to wield a sword, Elsa simply uses her head to her advantage. The two get caught in a lock, giving them some face-to-face time.
"You can't win," said Kylo Ren.
"You're as fierce as Rey, I respect that," said Elsa.
"She may be powerful, but she lacks experience with the Force," said Kylo Ren. "You will find me more of a challenge than her."
Kylo Ren pushes back Elsa with the Force. Elsa stands up and creates an ice wall to block her from him, but he slices his way through with his light saber. Elsa runs towards Kylo Ren only for the two to lock blades again. Elsa was about to lose, until she ducks and trips Kylo Ren with a low kick. Kylo Ren was about to get up, only to see a hand lit by ice magic in front of his face.
"Stay down, kid," said Elsa.
"Never underestimate the power of the Force," said Kylo Ren.
Kylo Ren holds up his fingers. All of a sudden, Elsa started choking. She collapses on her knees as she tries to fight the Force, but it was no use. Kylo Ren stands up and looks down at Elsa. He stops. Elsa started coughing and tried to recover.
"Stay down, kid," said Kylo Ren, quoting his enemy.
Seeing the look on Elsa's eyes, Kylo Ren knew she wasn't going to surrender. He simply uses the Force to knock her unconscious. Remembering his promise to Hans, he chooses not to kill Elsa. Instead, he carries her on board the Star Destroyer.
"Any orders, sir?" asked Captain Phasma.
"We have what we came for," said Kylo Ren. "We're leaving."
The entire First Order departed. They opened a portal and every ship entered. Rapunzel, Eugene, and the soldiers were left standing, confused. Half of Corona's army was injured from the firefight, but none of them are dead.
"We lost," said Eugene.
"Don't worry. She has powers. I'm sure she's gonna be fine," said Rapunzel.
On board the Star Destroyer, Kylo Ren places Elsa in the holding cells. Before he can leave and lock up the cell, he heard breathing. He turns around and saw Elsa waking up. She stares up at him with anger present in her face.
"Awake already?" wondered Kylo Ren. "You weren't supposed to be awake yet. You have great power in you, indeed."
"I haven't even showed you what I am truly capable of," said Elsa.
"I'm afraid you will never able to show me," said Kylo Ren. "When we get off this ship, Hans will have your head."
Kylo Ren walks out of the cell and shuts it. Elsa tries to fire an ice blast at the door, but nothing came out of her hands. She saw something attached to the wall. It was an orb. It was magical.
"A present from Maleficent," said Kylo Ren. "You can't use your powers as long as you're in this cell."
"Mark my words, young man. I will get out of this cell and you are gonna pay," said Elsa.
"I doubt it," said Kylo Ren. "Enjoy your stay."
Kylo Ren walks away, leaving Elsa to lie in her cell. She thinks back to her fight with Kylo Ren. She thought will and courage was enough to help her defeat him, but she was overpowered. She was beginning to believe Kylo Ren was right. She always held back when it came to using her powers on the battlefield, which is probably the reason she lost to Maleficent and, now, to Kylo Ren.
