Chapter 20: The Spider Trap

The battlefield was not Arendelle, the lake was. Elsa felt more comfortable fighting in her element, literally. She stood at the shoreline, waiting. What if she died? What then? Sebastian wouldn't go after Anna, he had no reason to. What if she lived? Then what? It wouldn't be happily ever after. Not now that Wilhelm was dead, not now she knew there were others. This battle was nothing, it changed nothing whether she lived or died. Elsa had no intention of holding back however, and the web like structure proved it. This was one of Elsa's more thought out creations. An icy spiderweb was under the surface of the lake. If anything touched it, she would know immediately. And something did touch it, a big something. Elsa stared at the fleet, each one had at least one cannon. The only way into Arendelle was by ship, that was certain. (For disney fans reading this, you probably recognize this battle is going to be a lot like the one in Maleficent). For now the two were just staring at each other, waiting for one of them to make the first move.

Sebastian knew what he was planning. He had no intention of killing the queen, yet. But either way it was going to be difficult. Sebastian turned to his men. He was tired of my life I've been

A nobody and a beast

Now I am a sight to be seen

And all that blabber shall cease

Under my command

Simply by demand

There's a word I can't quite say it

If there's something I need not obey it

The word for standing tall

The word for above all

The word is unstoppable

Unstoppable

Nothing's bringing me down

I'm Unstoppable

My feet are on the ground

I'm unstoppable

Don't doubt me

About me

Being unstoppable

I'm unstoppable

See me wearing this crown

I'm unstoppable

See me ruling this town

If you dare to defy me

If you dare to lie to me

If you dare not follow my wishes

You'll be sleeping with the fishes

I'm unstoppable

The most powerful on earth

I'm unstoppable

Now monster from birth

I beseech to you

To

See that

I'm unstoppable

Know that Im unstoppable

I'm unstoppable!

"FIRE!"

If they want a monster they're going to get it. A dozen cannonballs flew into the air . Elsa merely stepped onto the lake, freezing it. Time to use the web for two things. The many sharp slivers of the web flew up out of the ice, shredding a good number of the ships and tearing the cannonballs to pieces. The smaller ships collapsed, quickly coated by ice which pushed the remains below the lake. The cannons fired again, only to be blasted back by a blizzard.

Sebastian watched the cold air pushing the sails back, some of the ships being tipped backward by the breeze.

"Even in battle she shows off." He remarked and signaled to his men. Each of them wore (essentially cleats) and began to walk on the ice.

Men were walking on the ice, that could be seen, plain as day. Elsa didn't want to hurt them...much, but something had to be done. She fired a series of blasts, rather that freezing their hearts though, it coated them in frost. The men were preserved and stuck in their position, as if something from a cartoon. Midas was losing easily from Elsa's perspective, although this was the first time when she used her powers when she felt...woozy.

"We will not be able to defeat her my King." A soldier explained. Sebastian turned to him, calm as could be and explained, "Relax, I have no intention of defeating her, she will defeat herself. The snow queen has a shard in her heart, the more she uses her powers, the faster her heart beats until..." He made an exploding motion with his hands.

Elsa was fending off every attack, exhaustingly. She should feel powerful but instead she felt like her heart was going to burst. She couldn't see straight. Was that one cannonball or two? Elsa couldn't tell. Who was she fighting again? Where's Anna? Who was that guy who saved her again? What's going on? Elsa, the snow queen collapsed, defeated. She wasn't dead, just unconscious. The last sight she saw was Sebastian, proud of his success

Anna and Kristof had been marching up the mountain to the ice castle. Kristof had tried his best to prevent Anna from looking back, but it was futile. Both she and Gilda had looked back every so often. She didn't expect her sister to lose, but Anna didn't expect her sister to win either. The entire lake was a battlefield, anyone could see that, and her sister wasn't holding anything back. Anna knew she couldn't do anything to stop it, but she still felt like she could do something. Anna thought she had to get down there, but she didn't know how. She wasn't going to lose her sister like Wilhelm lost his brother. Wilhelm's brother. Anna turned to Kristof and tapped his shoulder.

"What?" He asked. Anna was smiling. This was not the reaction he expected.

"Wilhelm's brother!" Anna said, gesturing to Gilda. She was the key to fighting back against King Midas. She could summon Peter, and with him comes magic.

Elsa woke up in a pit. A dark, creepy pit, nothing more. She looked around, she wasn't dead of course, but this could be assumed to be... No it's not. Elsa told herself.

"Hello your majesty!" Sebastian said. He stood by the queen, smug.

"You no good, wretched son of a-"

"Language! Watch your tone your majesty."

Elsa was stuck in a golden container that shined with sadness. It was a while before she asked,

"... Why?"

"What?"

"Why would you do this?"

"Revenge."

"For your brother?"

"For what your mother did! I was the one who slaved away for her, not that so called hero of a father."

"..."

"I bought the shard so I could be a hero like your father but instead I only made it worse. When I heard the queen of Arendelle had magic powers I thought it was her, I didn't know she was dead until you arrived."

"Why attack me then?"

"If you were dead then I would be considered a hero. Sebastian the conqueror, But I can't kill you, because your her daughter."

The guy was crazy. Plain and simple. Elsa could tell, but she was just stalling. The gold chamber broke free and she leapt out, firing a quick blast at Sebastian. He whisked it away and shot a blast of gold into Elsa's heart. She cringed back, her heat still in pain from earlier. Midas said, satisfied, "Now your majesty, be happy, you're what you've always wanted to be, alone where nobody will ever find you."
