Guest: At such a suggestion, how could I not add that in?
lightshadow101: I knew you were being dramatic u_u
Also, I did mean what I said because in insults; "bastard" is usually applied to men (and illegitimate children), while "bitch" is more geared toward women (and actual female dogs); I put it in because I'm female, thus "soul-crushing bitch". Also, you can't imagine the grin on my face as I'm writing this at this very moment.
I'm glade you enjoyed the chapter.
Not all of my endings are suspenseful, there's just been a string of them since the main story's begun.
H-heh-heh-heh...
Blackmikulouch: It's more hormones than anything, really. I mean, you've seen Lelouch, haven't you?
Yeah, that ending 8)
The confrontation's going to be interesting, though not in the way you may expect.
Wait, he's juggling Javelins?! Okay, that is seriously impressive 8O
Guest: Oh my God, I can't believe I missed such an opportunity! Ugh, sucks to be me, I guess...
Yeah, poor Dash. Or are you talking about Lelouch?
Ebony sword: It's nice to finally meet you :)
Yes, Gino is talking about his first love, the unknown Eleven maid.
He wondered what he had done or would do to have fate go against him like this, because Dash couldn't think of any other reason why he'd be this unlucky.
Is it because I went back in time? Or because I'm screwing shit up?
"Wh-who are you?" Fenette asked, her voice confused and fearful.
Wait.
Dash then realized that he was safe at the moment; it was night, therefore ridiculously dark out. And he had was wearing baggy clothing, sunglasses and a hat that he had tucked his hair into.
I love the dark, Dash thought gratefully, and I love I had enough hindsight to wear a disguise.
Okay, so Fenette couldn't recognize him. But...
He glanced over at Lelouch who was still staring at him with a startled expression before it hardened and he grabbed Dash's collar rather weakly to hold him in place.
"Forget you ever saw me!" he barked, the cold red sigil lighting up his eyes before it shot over to Dash.
The sigil went into his eyes and he felt them flare briefly with heat. However, Dash's Code activated a moment later and dismissed the power trying to take ahold of his mind.
"Nope," the immortal said in a matter-of-fact tone, allowing a little grin to touch his face despite the circumstances.
Lelouch's eyes widened. "But how-?!"
"Lulu? Lulu, is that you? What are you doing here?" Fenette asked, her voice quivering slightly.
Lelouch's eyes widened as he heard Fenette's voice and his head whipped over to see her. What Dash could see of his expression could only be described as "Oh crap". Yes, he could see who ended up inheriting his rotten luck, even if it had been on Marianne's side.
"Lulu... you can't be-" Fenette said in an awed, rather than betrayed, tone. "Are you... apart of the Black Knights?!"
Lelouch's mouth opened and closed haplessly, trying to explain and once again, Dash was grateful for the cover of darkness. However, this was becoming out of hand and now, he found only one solution to put an end to this problem.
He quickly delivered a sharp blow to Lelouch's neck, knocking him out. Fenette gave a startled cry before Dash covered her mouth and knocked her out as well. He quickly scooped both teenagers up and absconded into the darkness.
I really hope the squad of mortal combat is doing well enough to not need him right now.
Gino grimaced.
The pilot of the red knightmare frame was strong, way stronger than he thought. It seemed no matter what maneuvers he deployed, what weapons he used, or what tactics he pulled, the pilot was three to four steps ahead of him, ready to counter at every turn and even turn his own attacks against him.
"I have to admit, you're pretty strong," Gino told them. "But I'm still gonna win."
Like before, the pilot remained silent as they continued to attack. Out of the corner of his eye, Gino saw Suzaku fighting the blue frame and actually holding it off. Anya was plowing through the Black Knights rather well, but the way she was going, she was going to run out of power soon; the hadron cannon had drained quite a bit of her power.
"Sir Guilford, what are our orders?" Gino barked into the intercom.
However, no response came.
"Sir Guilford, do you copy? Please respond!"
Nothing.
"Dammit!" Gino growled before he was forced to hold off another kick from the red frame but the Tristan was knocked off balance and sent sprawling across the docks. He quickly tried to radio his friend. "Anya, how're you doing?"
"Power's running low," came Anya's voice, monotone as always. "Troublesome."
"Suzaku, come in!" Gino tried with the brunet.
"This guys strong; I'm losing power just trying to fend off his attacks," Suzaku responded.
"Are you serious?! It can't be that powerful! The Lancelot is a seventh generation frame!"
"Whatever it is, Lancelot won't be able to keep this up forever!"
Gino's jaw was clenched tightly enough to make it hurt; this was going so wrong but what could he do? At this rate, they would be slaughtered.
"A wise man knows when to retreat"; Gino was positive something along those lines was once said by someone important.
Probably.
"All units, withdraw!" Gino barked into the intercom.
In just a few minutes, the unit was in full retreat.
"Tamaki, get back here," Rai said in a deadpanned tone as Seiso held back the Japanese mans Burai.
"Aw c'mon!" he whined. "We've got 'em on the ropes-"
"They're retreating and we've already won the battle," the silver-haired male stated. "Don't kick them down like dogs; do you want to be like them so much?"
This brought on some low grumblings from Tamaki but he didn't complain. They had won after all. With that, Rai went back over with the other frames and reboarded the U.V.A.R.D.
When they were a safe distance away from the dock, Rai disembarked from Seiso and joined the other pilots. There was some cheers, pats on the backs and hugging all around as the Black Knights celebrated their victory.
Kallen stepped out of the Guren a moment later and ran over to Rai with a smile. "I noticed you holding off better this time. You're improving a lot."
Rai smiled back, his face feeling rather warm. "Thanks Kallen."
"I wonder where Zero is, though," The silver-haired male heard Yoshida wonder as he looked around.
"CC said that he was preoccupied at the moment, going over plans for the next attack," Ohgi answered.
"Geez, he's already looking that far ahead?!" Tamaki exclaimed.
"As expected," Diethard said with a smirk. "Zero is truly a revolutionary."
"Where the hell were you?!" the Japanese man snapped at the reporter. "I didn't see anything of you during the fight."
"I work with intelligence; of course I wouldn't be participating in battle," he replied matter-of-factly.
Rai repressed a chuckle as Tamaki continued to snap at Diethard as he coolly retorted before he noticed Kallen was no longer in the hanger.
Wonder where she went?
"... what the hell did you do."
It wasn't so much a question as it was a flat sentence as Kallen stared at the scene just outside the hanger of the U.V.A.R.D. Dash was holding Lelouch to his side, somehow wrapping him in his cape and making the ravenet look like a cocoon and Shirley was slung over his shoulder.
"I panicked," the immortal admitted, face slightly red. "That's what I did."
"Did she see him?" the red-haired woman asked, rubbing her temple.
"No; it was too dark from where we were since the crates blocked a lot of the light so she only heard his voice when he tried to make me forget I saw him," Dash replied. "But she still deduced he was apart of the Black Knights, even if she doesn't know he's Zero."
Kallen grimaced. She knew that it was around this time that Shirley found out that Lelouch was Zero, but because her father hadn't been killed this time around, she had no idea how she would react to potentially finding out that the boy she had a crush the size of Britannia on was the head of a rebel army.
"Well, Lelouch probably already deduced I have a code after his geass failed to affect me, so there's no getting around explaining that to him," Dash said. "I think I can get around explaining it to Fenette, but..."
Kallen suppressed a groan. How could someone over twice her age be acting so irresponsibly and rashly?
"Also, do you know where Ce- I mean, CC is?" Dash asked, his head slightly cocked to the side.
Now that Dash mentioned it, Kallen hadn't seen the green-haired immortal anywhere. "No."
Dash grimaced at that. "I see."
"What's the matter?" Kallen asked.
"There's someone in Tokyo that was contracted with her here around this time. I don't know if I can handle him, even with my Code..."
Kallen blinked; while she knew that CC did have accomplices before Lelouch, he didn't know that any of them were still alive. "Why is that?"
"It's his geass, but especially how he and CC met and how they interacted; she coddled him and pretended to love him like a mother would and because of that, he developed a great deal of love for her, however twisted. However, when his geass became permanent, she saw that he could no longer fulfill her wish and left him behind."
The red-haired woman's fist clenched. "How cruel..."
"Yes, it was," Dash agreed. "Now, he's determined to get her back no matter what and he doesn't care who he has to go through."
Kallen stiffened at that. "So then, he'll go after Lelouch to get CC back!"
"Yeah; while this in itself wouldn't be too bad, his geass gives him the power to read minds," Dash continued. "That's why I need to keep them both with me until I can get him under some semblance of control."
Euphie frowned.
She was currently going over the reports brought in by Dalton and Guilford after the battle with the Black Knights after they had suffered another loss.
It's as if Zero's always one step ahead of us, she thought. He's truly formidable.
At that, she thought of Cornelia and the churning in her stomach grew worse. She buried her face into her hands for a moment, eyes squeezed shut.
"Oh Corny, please be okay," she murmured softly, pleadingly.
After finishing the report, Euphie glanced over at the last parchment she had to read over. It was the list of eligible knights. Cornelia had suggested before that she assign one but never truly listened.
She looked over all of the names and all of their attributes, but they were all strangers just the same. She acknowledged their accomplishments, but...
Euphie shook her head. What was she thinking?! Suzaku was getting married to Mariel Lubie! He was even going to be a father before the year was out! But-!
Her chest twitched painfully and Euphie's free hand clutched at it through her dress.
Suzaku...!
"You want to meet Princess Euphemia?"
Nina nodded. "I-I wanted to thank her."
Suzaku, Milly, Rivalz, Nina and Mariel were in the Student Council room during lunch break, wrapping up some business and work as standard for said council to take care of. Rai was currently in detention, trying to finish his missed work.
"It's because she defended Nina's knight-in-shining armor," Milly inserted.
"Yeah," Mariel replied from where she was seated on the brunet's lap, her arms wrapped around his neck. "We defended him before and even Nina abdicated just before the guards tried to shoot him, but they only backed off when Princess Euphemia told them to."
Nina gave a low mutter, though Suzaku couldn't understand what she was saying. Just then, the phone rang and he picked it up. "Hello; Ashford Academy student council."
"Suzaku."
Lelouch!
The brunet hadn't seen Lelouch or Shirley at all since yesterday and he had been fearing the worst after the battle at the docks. "Lelouch! Where have you been? Are you all right?"
"It's Lelouch?!" Rivalz exclaimed and all of the other students came to attention.
"I'm fine, just a little preoccupied," came his reply. "Can you please tell Nunnally that I'm all right and that I'll be back home tonight? And can you also tell Mr. Fenette that Shirley's all right too?"
"Er, of course!" Suzaku said. "But what happened to you?"
"It's-"
Just then, Suzaku could have sworn he heard Shirley shriek in the background, followed by someone who sounded very much like Dash trying to calm her down before he heard wood splintering and a yell of, "My leg! How the hell did you even do that?!"
"... I need to go," Lelouch said before hanging up, the dull beep-beep of the tone echoing in the room.
Oh hell, Suzaku thought with a deadpan.
"Suzaku, was that Lelouch?" Rivalz asked, looking concerned. "Is he okay?"
"Yeah, he's just busy; Shirley's with him so she's okay," Suzaku answered, then immediately regretted how he said it.
"Wait, those two are together?" Milly said, a gleam in her eyes. "And you say Lelouch is 'preoccupied'?"
"Th-they couldn't be doing 'it', could they?" Nina stuttered, her face turning red.
"NO!" Suzaku exclaimed, his voice higher than he liked. "He just said that she was with him!"
"Of course he'd deny it!" Milly proclaimed, a smirk on her face. "But now, he's just driven himself into a corner."
Oh boy... sorry, Lelouch.
Shirley was freaking out.
The last thing she remembered was hearing Lulu grunt in pain before falling over before a hand came over her mouth and feeling a dull pain on the back of her neck. When she woke up, she was in a warehouse and Lulu was trying to call someone.
Then, someone grabbed her shoulder from behind and Shirley retaliated by smashing the chair by the bed over the man numerous times until she slammed it too hard and part of the chair broke off and stuck in the man's leg. When she saw what she had done, the amberette was mortified.
"I'm so sorry-"
The man shook his head as he tore the chunk of wood out of his bloodied leg. "Don't be; I keep forgetting to be tactful with women. Besides, I've had far worse than this."
Shirley decided not to wonder if the first part of the sentence had a double-meaning.
Lulu closed his phone and looked back at the scene. His eyebrow twitched slightly and he quickly looked away from Shirley towards the man. "Now that that's done, do you mind telling us just who you are?"
The man fiddled slightly with the piece of wood before replying, "Sir Dash."
"Why did you bring us here?" Shirley asked.
The man looked rather sheepish at that before he answered, "I wasn't thinking straight, but I don't mean either of you any harm whatsoever."
"Lift your bangs," Lulu said to the man in a stern and rather cold tone.
Sir Dash complied and on his forehead, was a cold red tattoo of a v-shaped symbol. Lulu's eyes narrowed but he said nothing.
"Excuse me, but what's that tattoo?" Shirley asked.
"... it's called a Code," Sir Dash replied. "Whoever possesses it, is essentially immortal."
Shirley's eyes widened. "But that's impossible-!"
At that moment, Shirley noticed Lulu looking at Sir Dash with an incredulous expression, as if trying to tell him to shut up. However, Sir Dash ignored him. "It's not impossible; you just jammed a piece of wood into my leg and now-"
At that, Sir Dash lifted up the limb. The pant leg and flesh was stained in blood but the wound was gone.
"Now, there's no evidence you ever hurt me," Sir Dash said. "Well, sans the blood at least."
Shirley couldn't believe what she was hearing. These kind of things could only be found in movies or books; yet she knew she had hurt this man and now the wound was gone!
"What are you going to do with us?"
"Nothing," Sir Dash stated. "However, I'm going to have to ask you both to stay here at least until tonight."
"What?!" Shirley exclaimed. "But my father is probably worried sick about me! He didn't even know I had snuck out the night before!"
"I'm sorry, I really am," Sir Dash said as he pointed at Lelouch. "But there's a dangerous man who's hunting him down and I need to keep him out of harm's way, and because by now he knows you were at the battlefield, he'll come after you as well."
Shirley's eyes widened even further; someone was hunting Lulu? But why?! When the rest of Sir Dash's words sunk in, fear gripped at her chest and her stomach churned with nausea.
At that, Sir Dash went over to the door of the warehouse. "I'm going out to find him. Until then, stay here. I promise, I won't let him hurt you two."
Shirley couldn't help feeling a twinge of relief despite the confusion, worry and fear that was racing through her. "Bu-but-!"
However, she was cut off as Sir Dash slammed the door shut and the lock clicked into place.
Villeta grimaced as she looked over the papers in her hands from where she was sitting in the park. It was nearing early evening and the park was rather deserted.
I don't understand, she thought. Everything I looked up clearly points to the fact that that schoolboy is not only Zero, but Lelouch vi Britannia. So why did Jeremiah turn it away?
"Maybe because he's working for the guy? Ever think about that?"
Villeta stiffened at the voice before she turned around. A young man with white hair, black visor and headphones, blue jacket, long dark brown gloves and dark blue pants.
"Who are you?" the dark-skinned woman asked, subtly reaching to her gun in her purse.
"The better question here is who are you?" the man said, his smirk widening. "It seems to me that you are a very bad woman."
"What are you-"
"Let's see..." the man drawled, as if he was reading an article from a newspaper before he laughed. "Oh man; you're too much. Do you really think that trying to turn in the son of Jerry's crush is any way to gain his affection?"
Villeta flinched in shock. "Wha-"
"All set to play the sympathetic friend and comfort the guy before swooping in for the kill," the man sneered. "What an ugly woman you are, trying to take advantage of his past mistake."
N-no-
"Not only that, but you even drove that poor woman to commit suicide," the man tsked, shaking his head. "That's not even the tip of the iceberg for your sins, accounting for all of the people you killed in the name of your dear Britannia."
Villeta shook her head frantically but the man was merciless.
"You can hear them, can't you," he said in a low voice. "The voices of the people you killed. Yes, even you acknowledge Numbers as humans deep underneath whatever pride and devotion you have towards Britannia, but you block it out because of your selfishness and ambition."
"Sh-shut up!" Villeta rasped, clutching at her head. "Just shut the hell up!"
How could this man know such things? These were thoughts and secrets that she buried so deep, she thought she destroyed forever. Now they were being brought up to her eyes in the worst way possible.
"But you know," the man said, "I know how to make this all better for both of us..."
Villeta looked up at him. "What do you...?"
Ohgi looked onward.
He looked out on the ruined docks from where the last battle had taken place. The sun was beginning to set, bathing the area in soft oranges and yellows. Rubble littered everywhere and the smells of smoke and blasts still reeked around.
The Japanese man couldn't understand why he had come down there, why he expected to find someone, someone important, down over here. He walked for a few minutes listlessly, his eyes roaming over the area.
He stopped a while later before a ruined Burai that had crashed into the warehouse. The feeling was stronger now; someone had to be here, but they weren't.
Blood clotted the stone.
A woman with dark skin and silver hair slumped on the ground.
"So you're Zero..."
Ohgi choked out a gasp before he took a step back, his hand coming up to grip his head.
What were those images? And why did they appear before him?
They were both sitting on the floor, their backs to the crates, waiting for Dash to return. From the light coming from the windows, it was sunset.
Lelouch fought to keep a grimace off his face. There really had been no point in avoiding this; he refused to geass Shirley but she could easily see that he was Zero. In the end, mainly thanks to that Dash's prodding, he doubted he could avoid taking about geass as well.
"You don't have to say anything."
The ravenet stared at his classmate from across the floor. "What-"
Her olive green eyes were gentle and understanding as she looked at him. "I don't know how you became Zero, I don't know how you managed to beat back the military, and all I can think of why you're doing this is to make sure that Suzaku and his people are treated better."
"But... you don't have to tell me anything. I won't say a word to anyone, not even Milly."
Lelouch couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Why are you saying this?"
"Everyone keeps saying how Zero's a villain, how he's a total monster," Shirley said. "But he's not. He's had so many opportunities to hurt innocent people, but he's saved them every time, even though he's fighting Britannia. Now that I know you're him, I know for certain that Zero is no monster."
She... was taking this much better than Lelouch could have ever expected.
"And you know what?" Shirley said, snapping him out of his thoughts. "Now that I think about it, I'm not really that surprised that you are Zero. I feel like... like it was only natural that you're him."
Shirley...!
Just then, they both heard a banging on the door. Lelouch and Shirley both rose to their feet on impulse. Was Dash back?
"Yoo-hoo!" a high-pitched male voice chirped from outside. "Hello in there!"
The ravenet grimaced before he gripped Shirley's shoulder tightly to keep her from answering.
"It's no use keeping quiet!" the man went on. "I know you're in there, Lulu!"
Lelouch stiffened in shock. How did he know who he was? Hell, how did he know he was even in here?!
"Whaaaat? You don't know who I am?! I thought for sure that CC would have told you about me!"
!
"Impressive!" the voice chirped before Lelouch heard a faint clapping noise. "You came up with fourteen different possible identities for me and one of them is absolutely correct!"
So he does have geass...!
"As much as I'd like to hear you squirm a bit more, I really do need to end this as soon as possible."
Suddenly, gunfire rang out and holes riddled the door, spewing everywhere. Lelouch grabbed Shirley's arm and pulled her down to the ground to avoid the bullets. A minute later, they stopped and he heard the door creak open.
"Ooh, nice reflexes! For someone who makes a habit out of skipping gym class and who has the strength of a child, that is," the man laughed, before it was followed by clapping.
Lelouch looked up to see a man white white hair, a visor and headphones and a blue shawl coat. Behind him was Nu. Lelouch cursed inwardly.
That woman...!
"All right, the shows' all yours," the man chirped to the dark-skinned woman.
"Wait a second-!" Lelouch snapped before Nu went forward until she stood a few feet away from Lelouch and Shirley and held a handgun level to his head.
"Lelouch Lamperouge, no, Lelouch vi Britannia," Nu stated, "for the murder of Prince Clovis la Britannia and the highest degree of treason imaginable against Britannia, I arrest you."
Dammit, this is bad; I've already used my geass on her, and that guy can read my mind... what can I do?
"Haven't you caused enough grief?"
Lelouch stared back at Shirley as she said this, her expression shadowed. Nu remained silent.
"You kill people so Britannia can rule them, right? So what happens when innocent people you're supposed to protect die?" Shirley asked.
Nu grimaced. "What are you trying to say?"
The amberette raised her head, olive eyes bearing an angry and stern glint unlike anything Lelouch had seen the girl express. "I'm saying that you're trying to kill someone who's trying to help people. I'm saying you're trying to kill the only person capable of helping Britannians and Japanese alike."
"They're called Ele-"
"That's only because Britannia said that's what they are, right?" Shirley said, her face twisted in a grimace. "But Britannia... Britannia-!"
The amberette gritted her teeth before she shouted out, "Britannia's not the boss of everyone! Just because you have power doesn't mean you can just go and take it from others because you can!"
Shirley...
"Augh, enough with the babbling," the man snapped before looking over at Nu. "What happened to that enthusiasm from earlier? This is the only way for you clean your hands and you know it!"
Nu glanced back at the man, her eyes narrowing before her grip on the gun steadied. "Enough. While your courage is admirable, you have willingly ousted yourself as a traitor to Britannia and I will treat you as such."
"Do you really think that what you're doing is right?!" Shirley exclaimed. "Do you really think that by staining your hands further will somehow clean them?!"
Nu grimaced.
"One twitch of the finger, lady, that is literally all it takes!" the man said, beginning to lose his patience.
"If you love Britannia, then shouldn't you be helping it's people, not killing them?!" Shirley cried out. "If Area 11 is apart of Britannia's empire, then they're subjects of Britannia; you're entitled to protect them, aren't you?!"
"You know this guy's killed Clovis," the man drawled. "What's to stop him from killing Jerry?"
"What are you even trying to fight for?!" Shirley shouted. "Britannia? A promotion? Money? Glory? Fame? What?!"
"I said enough!" Nu screamed, her finger suddenly pulling the trigger.
The bullet grazed Lelouch's cheek, leaving a thin scratch that oozed a drop of blood down to his chin. His ear rang loudly from the shot. Suddenly, Shirley was up and she grabbed Nu's arm, trying to wrench the gun out of her hand. She looked back at Lelouch, her lips moving but he couldn't hear her words.
Mao gave a slight pout as he observed the scene.
Nu was trying to push Fenette off her while Lelouch over there was looking at the scene like a retarded puppy. All their thoughts were a giant, jumbled mess and he was greatly disappointed.
"Aw, c'mon!" Mao sighed. "It's boring now. Guess I'll just have to kill you all the old-fashioned way-"
As quickly as he had said this though, Mao heard someone step behind him before a roundhouse kick was delivered to his face, slamming him across the floor and into the room and knocking off the visor and headphones.
Wha-what the hell?!
As he looked up, he saw a man wearing a baggy shirt, jacket and pants with sunglasses and a hat with black hair tucked in. Nu was on the floor now, unconscious and the man was trying to direct Fenette and Lelouch away before giving the latter a bundle of clothing.
I can't read his thoughts, Mao realized in shock. Is this guy like CC?
The two were gone now, leaving the man behind. He turned to Mao before pulling off his hat and sunglasses. Mao stared in disbelief at the man who looked all too much like an older version of Lelouch, except for the eyes and hair color/ length. He picked up Nu and slung her over his shoulder before pointing her gun at Mao.
"You know where this warehouse is located," the man said. "It's been long abandoned and no one has stepped inside for the past eight years."
The implications that the man was speaking in were all too clear to Mao and his eyes blazed with anger. "You bastard! I won't let you keep me away from CC!"
"... did it ever occur to you that every sweet word, every gentle caress, every kind smile, every laugh, was a lie?" the man asked in a dark tone, his head cocking to the side.
Mao's eyes widened in shock at his words before the fury returned double strength. "You bastard! You're lying to me, just like everyone else!"
The man turned his back to him but kept his gunmetal-violet eyes on the black-eyes man. "Am I?"
At that, he slammed the door shut and then cam the sound of a rather heavy object being moved against it. Mao gave an enraged roar as he hurtled himself at the door, his fists pounding on it harshly before he slammed his body into the door, but it wouldn't budge even a millimeter.
"I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR THIS!" Mao screamed as he heard the man walk away. "I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU, NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES!"
When Villeta opened her eyes, she was back in her apartment. She winced as she got up, her head throbbing in pain. She brought a hand up to her temple and gently rubbed it, trying to soothe the pain.
What happened last night? she thought. Did I get smashed that badly?
That was the only explanation Villeta could find for the gap in her memory and the pounding in her head.
A bit of a shorter chapter, but it's here.
So, I watched Frozen and read A Choice with no Regrets more or less in the same sitting. Now, I've got this uncontrollable urge to write a story with the Frozen plot and the No Regrets characters with Isabel as Anna, Levi as Elsa, Farlen as Christoff, etc. Thoughts?
