For those still remaining in the capital of the Southern Isles, it was as if they were caught directly in the throes of a never ending nightmare. Their home has been mostly levelled or largely damaged by the fight between these monsters. Smoke and dust filled the sky as if they were in the midst of the apocalypse itself, hell literally rising out of the ground, ready to throw the surface world into the final battle between good and evil and signify the end of the world.

Right now, aside from the fires and cries of injured and fleeing citizens and the screeches of the fighting in the skies above, things had largely calmed on the ground. Godzilla's lifeless form lay amongst the dirt and debris of what had been one of the main market areas of the capital. Just in front of him were the charred remains of his enemy, Battra. The fight had been brutal and destructive, but with both sides in it having lost one participant, it would ultimately be decided by the battle between Megaguirus and Mothra.

In the top floor of the remains of a house overlooking Godzilla's form, Elsa stood facing him with Anna standing about ten feet behind her. Though she could not see her elder sibling's face, Anna could feel the anger radiating off her, and not in the usual hot way. In fact it was the exact opposite given her ice powers. The wind was blowing at a level where its howl could be heard over the roar of the fires; small flecks of snow fell from the sky around the house as if a winter storm was setting in; even the very air itself felt cold. It made Anna shiver despite her being in her winter attire. When she had been going through the streets of the city, it had felt like a furnace, yet here it was as if she had crossed into Lapland.

"Elsa?" Anna asked worryingly, taking a step towards her sister.

Elsa turned back to her, revealing her eyes that were red from crying and her cheeks that marked by dry tears. That was not was drew the majority of Anna's concern, however. It was the look of anger. Though her hands were not clenched or her teeth were not gritted, Anna knew that the concentrated expression and that fiery tinge in her blue eyes told her that Elsa was not angry, she was furious.

"Anna, go back to the castle with the others." She said, her tone flat but the anger and firmness was obvious.

Anna protested. "But Elsa, what are you going to do?" Anna asked her anxiously.

"I'm going to help Mothra take down Megaguirus," the Arendelle queen replied, walking over to her sister and, grabbing her by the arm, pulling her along towards the ice wall (Elsa saw that she had not made it extend across the whole of the gap, hence how Anna was able to follow her up here) With a wave of her arm, the ice wall disappeared and revealing the others standing worried at the bottom of the slope of rubble. "Now I want to go with the others to the castle."

"Elsa no-"

"No, Anna!" Elsa snapped forcefully, silencing her with a glare. Anna's stubbornness was not going to win over her this time! "You are going to the castle and are going to wait there with the others."

"But Elsa, what-"

"I said no!" Elsa shouted at her, the temperature dropping to freezing level. Ice lashed out across the wooden surface below.

"Elsa, Anna!" Olaf called from below. "Are you okay?"

"We're fine, Olaf." Elsa replied, climbing down with Anna behind her. "Alright, you all need to head back to the castle." She told them.

"What about you, Elsa?" Lora asked her.

"I need to find a way to help Mothra defeat Megaguirus." She told them and, as expected, the others began to protest but she overruled them. "No, guys. Listen to me! Godzilla is …" she paused and swallowed hard, regretting herself from having to say these words. "Godzilla's gone! I have to help Mothra or she'll be defeated."

"Elsa, trust me and my sister, you cannot fight her alone," Moll told her. "Even with your powers, you cannot defeat her. Mothra is the only one now who can stop her."

"She's right, Elsa." Akiro piped up. "We've already seen what happened to Gojira. If you get hurt like that as well, you will not survive!"

By this point, Elsa had had enough. "Look, I'm going to try!" she snapped at them. "I have to. It's my job to keep you and everyone else safe, and that is what I'm going to do. No, Anna." Elsa held up a finger to stop her sister from trying to protest. "I'm going to stop her, before anyone else is k-"

CRRRAASSHHH! AAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!

The group dived for cover as a huge black shape landed nearby, flattening a storehouse and letting out a screech of pain. As it tried to get up, another smaller but much more colourfully patterned shape landed on top of it, forcing it into the ground and striking it hard. The creature on the ground screeched and swung a claw up at the one on top of it, knocking into its underbelly and throwing it over its head and the remains of a row of buildings next to it.

Looking up from behind a pile of rubble, Elsa, Anna and Akiro saw it was Mothra and Megaguirus. Their battle had been brought down to the surface as, from what they could see as Megaguirus flipped herself upright again, there were large wounds across her body and wings. It was clear that the fight with Mothra was taking its toll on her, but she still looked ready to give it all she got. Her tail with the stinger flexed aggressively and took off the roof of a nearby building and she growled angrily as Mothra lifted herself up too, though much slower and more weakly than her opponent.

Upon seeing this, Moll and Lora, who had taken shelter near Anna and Elsa behind an overturned carriage, began to panic. "Mothra cannot keep this up!" Moll said apprehensively.

"We have to help her!" Lora replied to her sister, who nodded.

Another screech of pain echoed out from the fighting flying monsters as Mothra took a hit to her underbelly by Megaguirus' claw. Megaguirus snarled and, clamping her claw around Mothra's neck, threw her onto another row of houses, crushing them completely and scattering debris over a wide area. Mothra let out a weak groan and tried to fight back but Megaguirus jumped on top of her, pushing her head into the ground.

Watching all this from nearby, Elsa stood up and turned to Anna and Akiro. "Akiro, take Anna somewhere safe. Now!"

"Elsa, no!" Anna argued back, grabbing her arm but Elsa pushed her sister off.

"Anna, don't argue with me. Go, now!" Elsa ordered. "I'm doing this to keep you safe." Another roar cut her off, followed by a thunderous crash as Megaguirus was struck in the side and fell over onto the remains of a building, another cloud of dust bellowing out like a pyroclastic flow across the surrounding streets. Elsa glanced over her shoulder at the fight and then back at Anna and Akiro. "Go, now!"

Akiro wanted to argue but decided not to. Sighing heavily, he grabbed Anna by the arm and began to lead her away. "She's right, Anna. It's too dangerous here."

"But Elsa, what if something happens to you?!" Anna cried in a fearful tone. "What if you get hurt or even killed."

A brief look of worry flashed across Elsa's face for a moment as her words seemed to really hit home, probably because they were being spoken by her sister. As much as Elsa did not want to admit it, Anna did have a point. What if something did happen to her? After all, her ice powers were not as effective against Megaguirus as they had been against the Kraken. Plus, Megaguirus had an extra deadly weapon in her arsenal and it had already taken down Godzilla. If she was struck by it, then, as Akiro had pointed out to her, she was as good as dead.

Well, I'll just have to be careful. Elsa thought to herself.

Looking up at Anna, meeting her gaze once more, she uttered almost stoically "I'll be fine, Anna. I promise! Now go."

Anna exhaled sadly as if to say: Okay, Elsa. She did not want to leave her sister alone to face this threat, she wanted to be by her side again. Elsa could see it written clearly across her face but with the odds stacked heavily against them it was going to be much harder in defeating Megaguirus. But right now they had no choice. They had to help Mothra or they were sure as hell going to lose this battle, and quite possibly the entire island.

With a final tug and Akiro saying: "Come, Anna, let's go!" Anna was led away into the streets, glancing once more over her shoulder at her sister as she turned to face the fight; Mothra now flapping her wings intensely at Megaguirus and throwing a wave of dust and debris at her to force her back.

Looking up at them, Elsa took a deep breath to build up her confidence levels. This was going to be tougher on her, largely because she was not in her dragon form and with an enemy that had the potential to kill you right before you, it was not a good situation for anyone to find themselves in. But right now that did not matter; right now what did matter was that they stop Megaguirus before she killed Mothra.

I hope this goes well. Elsa said mentally to herself as she rushed forward towards them.

Kristoff, Olaf and Sven had taken cover across the street and hidden among the ruins of a house that had partially collapsed when Megaguirus was thrown down near them and now, looking with apprehension, they watched the fight unfold with concerned expressions.

"I sure hope Mothra can beat Megaguirus." Olaf said.

"Me too." Kristoff replied, though he silently began to doubt whether it could be done as Mothra was struck again right before their eyes and only just managed to move out of the way of Megaguirus lunging at her with her stinger.

"Kristoff, Olaf!" a woman's voice called over to them and, looking over, they saw it was Anna with Akiro alongside her. "Are you guys okay?" she asked.

"Yeah, we're fine. Are you?" Kristoff asked her to which Anna nodded at.

"Hey, Anna, where's Elsa?" Olaf asked her.

Anna looked down at the ground as a sad look came across her face. As soon as he saw, the others became worried but Akiro spoke before they could ask what was wrong.

"Elsa has stayed behind to try and fight Megaguirus and assist Mothra." He explained.

The others exchanged nervous glances with each other. Elsa was actually going to stay behind to fight this deadly creature, and without her dragon form? Oh , that was a very dangerous thing for her to do! It had been bad enough when she had tried to do the same thing to the Kraken months ago but this was even more dangerous. They were really doubting whether she would make it out alive.

"What about Moll and-"

BANG! The sound of a gunshot rang out through the air; the group instinctively turning their heads towards its source. The castle.

"What the?" Kristoff said, confusion filling his voice. "Why was there a gunshot from there?"

"D'you think they're soldiers there that are trying to fire on Megaguirus and Mothra?" Anna suggested.

"No." Akiro spoke up, a sense of worry and urgency in his voice all of a sudden. "We dropped Hans off there, and we haven't seen Belvera. Then …"

Putting two and two together, the group were quick to rush off down the street towards the hole in the castle's side wall, having to quite literally hug the sides of the buildings they passed so they could avoid any rubble that went flying in their direction.

Running from a psychopath was definitely something Hans had zero experience in at all, though right now he surely did wish that such a thing could be attributed to him. As he hugged the wall behind him around the corner, his ears nervously listening out for any sound coming from the corridor around the corner, he began to mentally plan out how he was going to escape from this woman … if he could call her that. His pistol lay on the floor, having used up all of the ammunition and now rendering it useless unless he got close enough to hit her with it but … well, her own weapon was making that very difficult.

"Hans!" Belvera's voice roared out from the corridor. "Where are you?!"

Oh no!

He had to think of something fast! He could hear her footsteps approaching up the corridor towards him. If she found him then she would kill him. Already her black sword had caused a great deal of damage to each of the floors as she chased him up here (this being the sixth). There was only one more floor above them! After that it was only the towers and there was no way down from there unless he went back the way he came but it was possible she had destroyed the stairs so as to prevent him from doing anything like that. Plus, with the monsters fighting nearby he began to wonder how long it would be before they took their fight into the castle and smashed it into oblivion.

Wait. The towers?! A plan began to form in his head. Yes! He just had to get up there before she-

CRASH! The wall behind him seemed to cave in on itself, dust bellowing out in all directions and pulling down part of the ceiling with it and knocking Hans sideways as something struck him on his shoulder and back. Coughing the dust out of his lungs, he grunted, having just avoided being crushed by falling debris.

What the hell was that? He mentally asked himself. Can't be the monsters.

"Found you." Came the all too recognizable voice that made a chill run down his spine. Regardless of whether his plan worked or was rational, he knew that now was not the time to think about it.

Turning, he hurled his pistol at Belvera, who yelped and ducked as it flew over her head, narrowly missing it by a couple of inches, and hit the wall. By the time she looked up, Hans was already sprinting as fast as his legs would go up the next flight of stairs; his almost tripping on the middle step and falling down had he not grabbed the banister and pulled himself up.

Belvera stared daggers at his running, her hand gripping her black sword tighter and a snarl of concentration running across her face.

Oh no you don't, Hans! She thought menacingly as she took off after him, hurling obscenities at him as she pursued him up the stairs three at a time.

"Watch out, Lora!"

Mothra screeched as she was thrown against one of the buildings, demolishing it completely. She had attempted to strike Megaguirus whilst Elsa had struck her with her ice powers but her demonic enemy was much quicker than she anticipated and, shaking off the ice, struck her with a claw. Quickly, Megaguirus followed up the attack by leaping into the air and landing on top of her moth enemy, snarling and hissing angrily. It was as if she was saying: You foolish bitch, you dare try and defeat me again? This time, you will not succeed!

Mothra struggled furiously against her grip, but it was no use. She was growing weaker from the fight and her enemy was much stronger than her. Even with the twins and Elsa trying to keep her occupied, it was proving to be much more of a difficult task than she hoped. Something had to work in their favour soon or she and the twins and their human friend were dead.

FZZZZZZZHHH! AAARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!

A blue aura struck Megaguirus in the side of the head, it feeling as if someone had taken a poker fresh of the fire and rammed it into an open wound on her face and began twisting it around. THUD! A huge piece of debris of what had been the roof of a house struck her in the side, knocking her off Mothra and onto the ground. Mothra let out a relieved cry and quickly leapt into the air and then quickly dropped down and grabbed hold of Megagurius' form.

Nearby, Elsa, Moll and Lora looked on ecstatically. "She has her. We've almost got her!" Lora cried with joy, a look of hope stretching across her face.

Elsa and Moll felt the same way. When Elsa had gone to take on Megaguirus, she had almost been crushed by a collapsing building but was saved by the twins and their telekinetic powers. For the last few minutes, however, they had had little luck aside from stunning Megaguirus. Obviously now, dear readers, things were beginning to look up. Elsa too felt relieved and happy at this outcome.

It's almost over! Her heart leapt with joy. We've won! We've-

Suddenly, Mothra let out a painful cry that shook the three to their very cores as Megaguirus turned her body sideways and caused her moth opponent to lose her grip and fall a few metres. To any monster, flying or non it was of small importance but for Megaguirus at this current moment in time it was enough. Turning her head, she bit down on Mothra's wing and, with all her might, threw her towards the ground. The three barely had time to blink before the form of the huge moth crashed into the ground with an earth shuddering THUD that repeated the same effect that had been felt by Battra at his death a few moments earlier. Several nearby buildings collapsed as a result of the shockwaves, causing more dust to bellow out and quickly cover the three in a thick cloud that left them coughing and spluttering as their field of vision was reduced to practically zero.

"Lora *cough* … Elsa!" Moll cried out. "Where *cough* *cough* a-are you?!"

"Moll!" came Elsa's voice from somewhere in the fog.

"Elsa! C-come to me!" came Lora's voice. "Moll, follow *cough* my voice!"

Something big landed nearby, shaking the ground slightly and blowing away part of the dust cloud enough for Moll to look up and see a pair of red eyes looking down at the street with a fiery anger. Fear gripped her heart as if a giant hand had seized her.

"Oh no!" she gasped, taking a step back as she felt that Megaguirus was staring directly at her.

Suddenly, a scream of pain echoed out from in front of her. Moll felt her heart stop dead. She wanted to scream but all she could utter was a cry of "Oh no!"

Megaguirus let out a satisfied growl, curling her lips back to show her sharp teeth forming a kind of smile as she turned and leapt towards Mothra. The dust cloud in front of Moll and Lora, who was standing about ten feet away from her sister, was forced away enough for them to see something that made them want to cry out in sorrow.

There, lying on her side on the ground, a bloodied wound visible across her chest, was Elsa.
