Chapter 21- Endgame: Justifaiz (part 2)
Many years ago...
"Papa!" a young six year-old Elsa called out to her father, "I did something amazing!"
Her father, the king smiled and looked at her, "what is it sweetie?"
Elsa held out her hand to her father. In her hand was an icy circle with a smiley face etched into it, "I made this!"
"It's amazing Elsa, your powers certainly are growing" Her father commented.
Elsa's beaming smile accepted her fathers compliment.
As she got older, her father would teach her not only to control these powers of hers but also teach her how to be good as a queen, how to rule and to lead and to protect her kingdom no matter what.
There were some in her father's council that did not approve of Elsa, saying that because of her powers she was unfit to take the crown, calling her a monster, a freak of nature.
Elsa was hurt by their comments, but her father always protected and spoke up for her, even if he did things behind their mothers back, he always cared about his child most of all.
However, one day everything changed.
"Do you really have to go?" the eighteen year-old princess asked her parents at the airport.
"Your mother and I need to sort out this trade agreement with the US, Elsa," Her father told her, "but we will only be gone two weeks, and you know how time flies around here."
Elsa sighed, "I guess you are right, Papa."
Her father hugged his daughter closely, "you'll be fine Elsa, be strong."
"I will," Elsa replied and with that, her father was gone.
Two weeks passed and Elsa learned that the plane had gone down in a storm, killing all onboard, including her mother and father.
xXx
But that was a long time ago now. Elsa knew that she shouldn't be letting her thoughts distract her from the mission. She had been looking through what appeared to be the same corridors for hours now, having found no sign of Hans.
"Anna," She spoke into her earpiece, "any new developments on your end?"
"Not since you checked in literally five seconds ago!" Anna replied.
"I'm sorry, Anna," Elsa apologised.
"Its fine," Anna accepted, "I'm getting the feeling captain sideburns sent us on a wild goose chase."
"Just because we haven't found anything so far doesn't mean we haven't found anything yet," Elsa told her, "just keep looking."
"Alright," Anna stated, closing off the line.
Elsa looked down another corridor, using her touch to illuminate the darkened surroundings. This vessel had not been kept in good shape, as Elsa could see stains and rot on the walls around her.
As she reached the end of the corridor she noticed something to her left. It looked like a power generator but Elsa wanted to make sure.
"Anna" she spoke into her earpiece again, "I think I've found something, it looks like some kind of equipment, I'm gonna check it out."
"Okay, Keep me posted," Anna responded.
Elsa moved closer to the object, reaching out to touch it with her hand. Suddenly the machine began to whirr into life, the noise causing Elsa to jump back.
The machine began to change shape, transforming into a humanoid robot. It arms were long and it had three metal fingers on its hands. Its head was box shaped, with two yellow lights for eyes. Its main torso was bulky and armoured and its legs were armoured, but looked very agile.
"Oh shit," Elsa took another step back, "Its a killer robot."
"You need backup?" Anna asked.
"No, I think I can take him," Elsa informed her. She took out her phone gadget and type in the activation code, sliding it into the slot on her belt, forming her armour.
The robot growled at her, its body in a stance that showed its aggressive nature.
Elsa pulled out her energy blades and ran at the robot, only for it to throw a punch at her, knocking her into a nearby wall.
"Okay, I might need the backup, Anna," Elsa stood corrected.
"I'm on my way, Elsa," Anna replied.
Elsa looked up as the robot stomped towards her with its heavy metal legs. As it stood over her, Its head turned around, revealing a buit in video screen, showing Hans's face.
"Welcome to my humble abode, Elsa," Hans greeted her, "I see you've met my robot friend."
"He isn't very social," Elsa retorted.
"But he is very fearsome, allow me to demonstrate," The robot swung its fists at Elsa, only for her to dodge it at the last second.
Elsa tried to sneak behind the robot, but was grabbed by its arms and pressed against the wall.
"Come, come now Elsa, let us not fight, we have a lot in common, you know," Hans gloated.
"We have nothing in common Hans," Elsa spat at him.
"Oh, then how about I tell you where your powers came from."
"What?" Elsa asked in surprised, "What are you talking about?"
"Did you really believe that shit your parents told you, about you being born with your powers?"
"I don;t know what game you are playing Hans, but my family would never have lied to me about anything!"
"Then explain how your father knew your mother was an Orphnoch and because of her Orpnoch DNA, you were born with your powers!"
"What?!" Elsa was in shock, "How?! Why?!"
"Your mother was an Orpnoch, but she did not reveal the truth to anyone except your father, who wrote it down in his diary, a dairy which I procured while my replicant of you was running the palace."
"That's impossible!" Elsa screamed.
"Oh I'm afraid it is very possible, Elsa, but sadly time is short, I have an appointment with your lover, Anna and I'd hate to miss it."
"You leave her alone, you bastard!" Elsa pleaded.
"Oh I don't intend to," Hans smirked.
The robot ripped Elsa's belt from her waist, destroying it and Elsa's armour in the process. It then flung Elsa's body onto the floor.
The last thing Elsa saw before things faded to black, was a large robotic fist smashing her face.
xXx
"Elsa! Elsa!" Anna cried as she tapped her earpiece vigorously. The last thing he had heard from Elsa was a large thud and now nothing but static.
Suddenly Anna heard a whining noise that sounded like a microphone.
"Hello, Miss May, I hope you are doing well! I seem to have stumbled across something that belongs to you," Hans's voice bellowed over the intercom.
"Where is she, Hans?!" Anna demanded.
"Elsa is safe, for now," Hans told her, "if you wish to see her again, come to the bridge of this vessel, you can get there by following the green lights."
A series of green lights lit up along the ceiling of the corridor in front of Anna, creating a path for her to follow.
"You better hurry, my dear, Elsa might not be alive for much longer," Hans stated.
Anna quickly began to follow the lights, running as fast as she could.
"It's a trap," She thought, "of course its a fucking trap! But Elsa's at stake and I wont lose her."
She followed the lights up to a large winding staircase, where at the top she found an open door. The door led into a large wide room, with a large window in front of her.
"This must be the place," Anna realised, walking towards the window. She stared out at the ship, in full view of its bow.
Without warning, a light flickered at the other side of the room, revealing Elsa, who was bound to the wall by some kind of energy chains.
"Elsa, are you alright?" Anna asked her lover.
"I'm fine Anna," Elsa replied weakly. Her eyes then rapidly opened in shock, "Look out!"
Anna was knocked to the floor by a punch. as she helped herself up, she saw Hans and a large robot standing in front of her.
"Well, well, well look what the cat dragged in," Hans gloated, "you are rather fortunate, your majesty, you will have a front row seat to your lover's death."
"Not if I can help it!" Anna growled, typing the code into her phone gadget and sliding it into her belt, activating her armour. She charged at the robot but it knocked her back again.
Anna tried slashing at it with her energy blade, but the mechanical warrior was too quick for her to hit.
Anna activated her armour's high speed mode, now she would be able to fight with the robot on even terms.
Anna and the robot raced around the room, the robot unable to catch up with her. Anna made a bold move and stabbed her energy blade into the robot's back, crippling it.
As the robot fell to the floor, Anna's armour deactivated her high speed mode.
"You're next, Hans!" Anna stated, pointing her energy blade at him.
"It seems I am my dear," Hans chuckled, activating his own armour, "lets dance."
The two immediately clashed energy blades, parrying against one another.
Anna could feel Hans's blade pressing against her own, wanting her to give in. But Anna wouldn't let that happen, giving in would mean giving up on Elsa.
The fight went on for some time, until Hans managed to Kick Anna into a nearby control console.
Anna felt pretty sure that she had broken a rib in that impact, but she couldn't worry about that now. Heroes didn't worry.
"Lets take this outside" Hans smirked, grabbing Anna by the neck. Using the strength of his armour, Hans flung Anna out of the window, her body crashing through the glass and landing smack on the deck of the Ship.
"Anna!" Elsa cried out, but neither Hans nor Anna could hear her.
Elsa saw Hans leap out of the window, heading down to finish Anna. She realised that she had to help her somehow, but then she realised that she wouldn't be much help tied up like she was.
Elsa clicked her fingers, creating a small icy spark at her fingertip. She gently moved her finger directly into the energy chain, getting a burning sensation from it that felt like she was touching the surface of the sun. Elsa pushed on, moving her finger into the energy chain, sparking a reaction causing the chain to loosen around her, setting her free.
"That wasnt so hard" Elsa stated, blowing on her burning finger. She made her back through the corridors, back to the hanger where their jet was. She opened up the cargo compartment, finding what she was looking for.
"Anna my love, I just gave you the advantage in this fight."
xXx
Anna was definitely sure now that the fall had broken much more than a rib. Had she not be wearing her armour, the damage to her body would have surely been fatal.
"You don't give up do you," Hans stated as he landed beside her.
Anna groaned and pulled herself to her feet, feeling her broken bones ache and strain.
"You seem in pain, my dear," Hans gloated, "I can help end it for you."
"Go. To. Hell!" Anna replied.
"as you wish, my sweet," Hans smirked, pressing a button on the side of his belt.
An energy field began to emit around from his belt, causing Anna's own belt to deactivate and her armour to fade.
"Not so tough now are you?"
"You can deactivate my armour, you can break pretty much every bone in my body, but I'm not going down!" Anna declared.
Anna ran up to Hans, throwing punches onto his armour, trying to dent it, only to be pushed back.
Hans chuckled, "bare human skin, against my sol foam armour?! you really are persistent."
"Just enough to make me... interesting," Anna smirked.
"You have my respect as a warrior, my dear," Hans told her, holding his energy sword above her head, "I shall give you a fitting death."
Anna took a deep breath as Hans began to slice his weapon down on her, realising she was at an end.
CLANG!
Anna opened her eyes to see Hans's blade had been knocked out of his hand, and Elsa standing nearby with a large briefcase-like object in her hand.
"Elsa!" Anna cried out in joy.
"Your majesty, what a pleasant surprise," Hans approved, "I'll be killing two birds with one stone."
"You wont be killing anyone today, Mr Westerguard" Elsa stated, tossing Anna the briefcase gadget, "Anna, activate this, it will give you an edge, I'll keep Hans busy."
Anna caught the gadget and nodded.
Hans tried slashing his blade at Elsa, only for her to block the weapon with an icy shield .
Anna tried to figure out how to activate it, there seemed to be a lot of buttons, each one probably doing some function or another.
"Anna!" Elsa shouted as she struggled against Hans, "Slide your phone into the slot, I cant hold him off forever."
Anna slid the phone gadget into the slot in the briefcase, pressing a big button in its center.
"Awakening," the briefcase announced, emitting an energy wave that began to flow over Anna. Suddenly her amour reactivated, forming over her body once more.
"What?!" Hans exclaimed, calling off his attack on Elsa.
The red light continued to bathe Anna's armour, turning its black and red colours to crimson and sliver and causing the armour on her chest to transform and bulk out over her shoulders.
"Now this is what I call an upgrade!" Anna commented on her armour's new look. The briefcase gadget transformed as well, into a large cannon-like weapon for Anna to wield.
"The blaster form," Hans stated, "you managed to unlock its power."
Anna's armour began float into the air. It had a jet pack now, which made Anna's inner nine year-old giddy with excitement, but she had to take out Hans first before she could celebrate. She charged into Hans at full speed, knocking him to the other side of the ship, "BOO YAH!"
Hans was weakened, which meant Anna could go in for a final attack. She pressed a button on her briefcase gadget, activating her "Exceed charge", ramming onto Hans with a massive energy drill from her feet.
Hans's belt fell apart, as did his armour. His face was covered in cuts and bruises, and his body seemed broken.
"Give up Hans!" Anna ordered him, "it's over!"
"Not by a long shot, my dear!" Hans declared.. He clenched his fists together, grunting in pain as a blue mist began to emit from his wounds. Suddenly he burst into blue flame as his body was transformed.
Anna covered her visor with her hands, the light from the flames being very intense.
Eventually the flames faded, and in Hans's place stood a grey dragon-like creature. It had large wings and a tail, with large claws as well.
"Now you face me in my true form!" Hans's snarled, his voice now considerably deeper, "the Arch Dragon Orphnoch!"
Anna fired a blast from her cannon at Hans, only for him to merely flinch.
Hans growled and a stream of fire spewed from his mouth at Anna, who used her jet pack to avoid the heat.
"Okay, that didn't work," Anna observed, "maybe this will,". She pressed a button on her briefcase gadget and a large blade emitted from her cannon. Anna used her jet pack to charge towards Hans again, ready to strike him with her massive sword but was knocked away by his massive tail.
"Anna!" Elsa cried, rushing to Anna's side, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, but Orphnoch Hans is one tough cookie" Anna replied.
"I got an idea, we'll combine our powers, one big powerful blast should do it" Elsa told her.
"Alright get ready then," Anna stated, getting her cannon ready.
Elsa prepared herself as she began to charge up a massive ice blast.
Hans stomped towards them, snarling as he went.
"Steady," Elsa instructed.
Hans came nearer to them.
"Steady," Elsa said again.
Hans reared his head, ready to spew flame again.
"Fire!" Elsa declared.
The two of them fired their beams, colliding with Hans's fire breath but able to push it back. Hans was overpowered by the blasts and shot backwards.
"No, my destiny!" He cried out his last words, "you cannot destroy my destiny!"
Hans then exploded in a blaze of blue flame, his remains flying everywhere.
"And so it ends," Elsa stated, "its over."
Anna deactivated her armour and kissed Elsa on the lip, "no, Elsa my love, it has only just begun for you and me."
Elsa giggled and smiled, "no need to be corny, Anna, come on lets go home."
Anna smiled as well and held Elsa's hand. Their journey was now complete, all they had to do now was live life to the fullest.
