25. Chapter 25: Confrontation

Chapter 25: Confrontation

The guards lead you, Kristoff, and Eugene to the castle. Everywhere you look you can see crying wives and children. It's horrible to see these people go through such pain. You know their pain now, and it's difficult even for you. But they aren't trained like you are. They haven't seen the things you've seen. You're tougher than they are and yet it still gets to you. So you can't imagine what a weaker mind would be going through trying to cope with such loss.

The guard brings you to the entrance of the council chambers; at least what's left of it. He quickly walks away to aid in the recovery. You watch him leave then drift your eyes towards the door. Kristoff and Eugene can tell you have a bad feeling about this meeting. They aren't wrong. You do.

You crack your neck then walk into the room. The entirety of the Arendelle and Corona council looks over at the three of you.

"Ah (Y/N) it's… you're still here. Come in, come in. Stand in the center," Henry greets.

You chuckle and follow his order. The least you can give him is the illusion that he has power over you.

Kristoff and Eugene take their own seats. You cross your arms and look around the council chamber.

"As you can tell," Henry starts. "Arendelle was attacked by a group of assassins. Our guards held them off the best they could and saved a lot of lives that day. However, the question remains: where were you during all this?"

"I was carrying out your plan," you emotionlessly state.

"But that shouldn't have taken so long. Why were you not here to defend Arendelle in its time of need? Possibly because you were aiding the group?"

"No. Elsa was kidnapped by Viper, the one who I assume is the current Grand Master of the Serpent Clan. After that battle took place I-"

"The Serpent Clan, huh? Why is it you never mentioned this before?" A councilman shouts.

"There was no reason to give you people any specifics," you counter. "You could have done nothing with that information anyway."

"But… this brings up something curious. You are part of the Dragon Clan, no?" Henry asks.

"I was, yes. The clan was attacked alongside Arendelle. Everyone there is dead," you reveal, holding back any type of sorrow you may have.

"And how is it you know that they are dead?" Henry grins.

"After Elsa was taken I knew both Arendelle and the clan were under attack. The Dragon Clan had another elemental with them, also they had less manpower than Arendelle. I chose to go there first in order to protect the elemental. I planned to come to Arendelle after-"

"But you didn't. You chose your clan over the safety and security of Arendelle," Henry accuses.

"With Idonis is Arendelle I knew you had more of a fighting chance. Also Viper's plan was based around having the elementals. Gaia was the last one so-"

"So you chose your clan over Arendelle. There's no getting around it."

"Not in that way!" You declare. "I had full intentions to come back to Arendelle-"

"But you didn't!" A councilman screams.

"You left everyone to die!" Another says.

You close your eyes and shake your head.

"You're all trying to see me as the enemy when I'm trying to help you."

"Your help has lost us our queen."

"That was your plan, not mine!" You remind with an obvious hint of anger.

"And who was the one who executed it? You know… the Serpent and Dragon Clans used to be close in the past," Henry says.

"Oh brother…"

"Is it such a stretch that they could be working together again?" He asks, raising his arms and turning his head to the council members.

"Then why would they attack the Dragon Clan?"

"How do we know they did? You're the only one who knows. It could be all lies."

Kristoff stands up.

"That's not fair! He's done nothing but try and help our city!"

"Against the wishes of the council," Henry snarls. "It was only the queen who decided to keep the assassins here and they both must be punished. Idonis got what was coming to him, now it's-"

"Wait," you mumble. "Say that again."

Henry looks over at you with his brow raised.

"Idonis got what was coming to him? No… he didn't. That man deserved a more fitting end."

"There is no fitting end for an assassin!" A councilman cheers.

You shake your head.

"You know… you're trying to label us as something different from you. Like we're some foreign species that need to be exterminated. Well we aren't. There is no difference between any of us here," you say, pacing around the small circle you have available to you. "We are all men. Humans. We're all the same. We all bleed. We all love. We all die. The only thing that separates us is our intentions. You all," you say, pointing to every council member. "Want to see the assassins gone by any means necessary. Do you even care about the queen? Do you even give a damn about Anna, or Elsa, or Rapunzel? Maybe you do, but all you've shown is the intention to end myself, and all the clans. Idonis… he fought to the very end to protect Arendelle. His intention was to keep this city safe. His past didn't get in the way of that. It never did with him. Yet because you were all so certain that every assassin is evil, you let him die. You allowed the Captain of the Guard to die. You know, Durr wasn't the most stellar individual either. A former pirate, killer, thief, and yet you allowed him to defend Arendelle without question. The past isn't what defines us, it's who we are now and what are intentions are. Now, I WILL… find Elsa. I WILL find Anna and Rapunzel. I don't care if you throw the might of the world on me. My intentions, my methods, and my goals are all much purer than yours. Besides that, you couldn't stop me even if you wanted to. You're all weak pathetic snobs who hide behind politics and words. I fear for the future if we continue to have people like you in power."

Kristoff and Eugene can't stop smiling. You took the entire council down right there. They're also a little surprised that you were able to keep your cool. It's good you didn't do anything drastic this time. Every single one of them is baffled. They have no idea what to say, or how to counter you without sounding like even more of an idiot than they already have. Henry slams his hands on the table and stands up.

"How dare you! Guards!"

Half a dozen guards rush in. They look towards Henry, wondering what he wants.

"I, Henry Calthowdiorn, declare you an enemy of Arendelle. You are sentenced to death! Guards, arrest this man! He is a traitor!"

You look towards the guards with a blank stare. The guards look at each other, then shake their heads.

"No, we won't."

"What? How dare you defy me!"

"We didn't do anything when Idonis was in danger, but it's different now. (Y/N), leave for now. If you come back we will arrest you, but in honour of our Captain of the Guard, and your friend, we will let you leave."

You smile and begin to walk out of the room. The entire council is ambivalent on what to do now.

"Don't you dare walk away from us!"

"Leave him alone!" Kristoff yells.

"Yeah, let him save the princesses and queen. It's what we wanted all along. He has my support," Eugene states with confidence.

"He has mine, too!" Kristoff agrees.

You smile and look back to them.

"Thank you, truly. The next time you see me, I'll be with Anna, Elsa, and Rapunzel. I swear it."

"Where will you go? Can you really do it on your own?" Kristoff asks.

"Maybe… but there's one… person I have to see first."

You extend your wings and fly out of a whole in the ceiling. You burst out of the castle and head away from Arendelle.

I only have one more lead. Is this doesn't pan out… I don't know if I'll be able to save Elsa in time… but this will work if my hunch is right.

You go through some clouds with your ever determined look on your face.

Maybe when the Master and the Grand Master of the Serpent Clan went out to search for something, they found whatever they were looking for. That giant snake is some sort of mythical creature, no doubt. One that represents that Serpent Clan. So, if all the clans know of each other, and all clans are possibly represented by an all-powerful creature, then all the creatures should know of each other. And I know of one of these beings.

You arrive at the mountain where you trained with the Master and met your father. You land on the small training area and retract your wings. You slowly look around the entire area.

"Rhaegos!" You howl. "Come out, father!"

You continue to look around until a flash of light blinds you. When you are able to see again, Rhaegos is perched on the mountain, looking down at you with his sharp eyes.

"It has not been five cycles yet. Why are you here?"

"You know why I'm here," you bark.

"Well, I can only make assumptions based on what I have seen. I am likely correct in my train of thought as well. You want my help in finding the Snow Queen, Elsa."

"Yes and no."

Rhaegos chuckles under his breath.

"What is it you want?"

"I want you to tell me about that giant snake. Is he like you, in some way?"

"So your curiosity points to the ancient beings that protect their land. I see. Very well son, I will aid you this one time. But you owe me now."

"I owe you? In what way?"

"It is an easy task. Simply come back to me in five years. I already requested this of you, but now it is a favour."

You cross your arms.

"What's so important about this time gap? Why five years?"

"Because you'll be ready in that time. Besides, time is always moving forward. You can't rush it," he slowly explains.

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"Ah, now is not the time. Come close, I will give you the information you seek."

You take a few steps closer to Rhaegos. He suddenly opens his mouth and breathes some sort of substance on you. It's a simple mist, but it sinks into your skin. You use your hands to clear the air of the red mist.

"What was tha-"

You suddenly feel a giant headache. You grab your head to try and cope with pain. It's not a traditional headache. It's like something is entering your mind. You start to see images, places, paths that you never experienced before.

"You now know how to reach them. Go. My work is done."

The same blinding light arrives to cover Rhaegos' departure. You stand still for a moment as you process and make sense of the new memories you have. It seems like you have to go to Corona… no, far past Corona but still in its territory. A secret passage in the rocks. Underground.

You clench your fist and extend your wings. You take off with Corona as your destination. You're going to find this snake, and you'll put a stop to him. As you fly you uncover a few more memories left by Rhaegos. You aren't going to the lair of this snake, but rather the lair of ALL the snakes. Well, you knew it wasn't going to be the most comfortable thing in the world, but you can do it.

It takes you little time to reach Corona. Seems like you've gotten used to the wings over time. You don't become as fatigued by flying as you used too. However that's just flying. Using powers, healing, or fighting while flying is a different story. The fatigue factor has gone down significantly through constant training. You spent a whole week with your wings out once. However, it was extremely difficult for you. Elsa kept telling you to take a break but you refused. She would give you such a soft smile and place her hand on your shoulder. She would tell you "What are you even training for?" Seems like you were training for this, or anything else that comes your way.

To non-fighters the fact that you constantly train is weird. You push your body to its limits and beyond. It used to be normal in the clan when everyone was doing it. But when Elsa, or Anna, or Kristoff find you bleeding, beaten, and bruised because you weren't fast enough, or keen enough, they think you're crazy. But it seems like Kristoff understands now. Maybe Elsa and Anna too. You won't know until you find them.

You land around the location you need to be. It's kilometers away from Corona, so no need to worry about collateral damage if something goes wrong. But hopefully nothing goes wrong. You walk around the lush forest and look for the rock wall. You landed close to it, so it doesn't take much for you to approach the vast wall. You look around for any signs of the correct rock. From what you remember it's almost shaped like a snake's head.

You drag your hand across the rock wall until you find the one you're looking for. You stop in front of it and stare at it for a moment.

I think this is it. Well, the only way to find out is to move the rock.

You get right up against the rock and grab it with both hands. You slowly pick it up and place it on the ground.

That was way heavier than a normal rock. Must mean I'm in the… right… place.

You look to where the rock used to be. A small tunnel is present with some candles keeping it lit. It reminds you of the Drakon hideout in the mountains. That's got to be another sign that this is the right place.

You slowly walk into the hallway and proceed down it. The cave is very damp and moist. The air is really heavy too. You can really feel every breath you take while walking through this place. Every step you take echo's through the tight hallway. You look back to see the dim light that signifies the entrance. You've walked farther than you thought.

You turn back to the darkness and keep walking. Thankfully your dragon eyes make it easy to see in the dark, but this place almost feels clouded. Like something is purposely making it difficult to see. Even for you, it's slightly challenging. You take another step only to meet nothing below you. You fall into the ground and further into darkness. You quickly shoot a fire ball down the hole to see how far down it goes. The ball goes down for some times before hitting the bottom. You time it just right so that you flip and land softly on your knees and feet. You use your hands to break the fall, as well.

You take a second to breathe in the heavy air before standing up and looking around. Unlike the corridor, you don't feel the crushing presence of walls around you. It's almost like this is a huge wide open place. You take a second to listen. You can hear water dripping onto the surface of puddles. This means there's either water all around you, or just small puddles scattered all around.

"What isssssss it I sssssssmell?" A voice hisses.

You can hear a collection of other hisses along-side the loudest one. You ignore it and start walking down the path given to you.

"It ssssssmelllllssssss like a dragon… and a human."

More hisses arise from around you. You look to the left out of the corner of your eye. You can barely make out what's to the utmost left. It seems to be a large wall but… it's moving. It's almost slithering.

You return your gaze forward and keep your face firm.

"A Drakon in our midsssssssst. Hassssss Rhaegosssssss sssssssent him? Or issssssss he here for himsssssssself?"

You remain silent as you walk.

"No fear from you? How interessssssting."

You notice that your flooring has stopped. It's formed to a small circle around you. You remain calm and keep looking forward. You can feel that something is close to you. You can smell it. Hear it. You raise one hand and create some fire.

A giant snake stares intensely at you, but you refuse to show any emotion. You keep your fire at good distance so you can use it, if need be.

"You have quite the way of welcoming guests," you comment.

"I don't get many in thesssssse partssssss. It'sssssss ssssssso interessssssssting to ssssssssee one of the dragon blood here. What issssssss it you want?"

"Let's start out simple. Who are you? How do you know my father?"

"Sssssssso Rhaegossssssss did indeed create a new Drakon. How humourousssssss. I am Nagassssssss, King of the Ssssssserpentssssss."

As he says his name more hissing from all over starts up. Nagas slithers away from you and out of sight. A moment after he disappears candles start lighting all over the place, revealing thousands of snake – small and large – all over the walls and simply curled up everywhere. All of them are staring at you, sticking their tongues out for a quick second before retracting them into their mouths.

"Well, Nagas, I am (Y/N). Son of Rhaegos and the current Drakon of this age."

"I know who you are. The quesssssstion isssssss what do you want, Drakon?"

You look to the left then back at Nagas, who has taken position on the wall in a giant pair of stone hands. The entire area is similar to this. There are ancient writings and statues all over the place that the snakes are using to keep themselves up. Some are actually just on the wall.

"Someone has one of you people as an ally, and has been destroying the seven clans of the world, along with kidnapping elementals. Since one of them is a giant snake, like yourself, I can only assume he is from here and that you would know how I can find him," you explain.

Nagas watches you for a moment.

"And why would I help you?"

"Because obviously this snake is disobeying your orders. I've read up on the rituals and terms of allying oneself with ancient animals. I also know that you probably wouldn't be agreeing to what he's doing, as you try to maintain peace in your land and peace has, well," you chuckle a bit. "It's long gone by now."

You're patting yourself on the back for all the research you put into these ancient animals. They say that you can indeed create some sort of pact between these animals. Each one has different terms and offer different types of abilities. Legend goes that humans can actually become one of these animals if enough dedication is given, but that isn't confirmed.

The serpents aren't ones to wage war, however. From the description, they like to operate in the shadows and manipulate people. The things that Viper has been doing with whatever snake he's with is nothing like that. They may be working from the shadows to an extent, but this is more of a war than anything else. The serpents don't want war. Hopefully they will help you based on that.

Nagas slithers closer to you, but not face to face.

"You may be right on ssssssssome level Drakon, and I may think about helping you. But, I have one condition."

"Name it."

"You don't kill him. You may harm the ssssssserpent, but don't kill him."

You nod.

"Very well. But I can take out the human with no worries?"

"Yessssssssss."

"Perfect. Now, who is this snake?"

"He isssssssss my ssssssssson, Sssssssseraph. He issssssss young and rebelliousssss. He defied me," Nagas says with spite in his voice.

"How so?"

"The human you are sssssssssearching for, Viper, came to me firsssssssst. He wanted to gain the powersssssss of a ssssssserpent, and explained hisssssss plan. I refuesssssssed, but Ssssssssseraph did not. He performed the ritual without my consssssssssent."

You lean back a bit and cross your arms.

"I thought only the leader, which is you, could give away that power."

"No. Asssssssss my sssssssssson he can do it assssssssswelll. Once I passssssssss he would be the new leader, after all. But now he isssssss gone, giving away our secretssssssss. I want him back to be punished."

"Alright. Tell me how to lure him out and I'll get him."

Nagas slithers close to you. He opens his mouth to reveal a small ball. You reach into his mouth and grab it.

"Ussssssse that. He won't be able to resssssssssissssssst coming to it, and it will paralyze him. No need for a fight."

You toss it in the air then catch it. You place it in one of your pouches before looking back at Nagas.

"Thank you, Nagas. I will return him to you."

You turn around to walk away. Before you know it you are swallowed up by Nagas. You don't panic right away, as you aren't far in his stomach. You are in his mouth, safe. After a few seconds he opens his mouth for you. You step out and look around. You are in a cave not far from Arendelle.

"That fast… How?"

"We can get anywhere in an inssssssstant," Nagas states, slithering back into the hole.

You look towards Arendelle and smile. You finally have something to go on. You can find Elsa. All you need to do is get the answers from this snake. You're not fooling around anymore. Whatever it takes to find Elsa, you'll do it.

You clench your fists thinking of the people you've lost. You're getting yourself worked up. Angry. You extend your wings and soar into the sky, doing a few spins while reaching a certain altitude. Once you get high enough you pull out the ball that Nagas gave you.

You stare at it for a moment and smile.

The reaper is coming, Viper.

You hurl the ball straight at the ground. It speeds through the sky and crashes down on the ground in seconds. It releases a small mist that quickly dissolves into the air. You patiently wait for a minute. Nothing has happened so far.

Thankfully you start to hear something coming to your location. It's moving fast. Faster than it did the first time you heard it. Seraph bursts out of the spot you through the ball and into the air. You move away a bit so he doesn't hit you. You can see his eyes are in pure ecstasy at the moment. Whatever Nagas gave you is really affecting Seraph. After a moment Seraph looks over at you. He opens his mouth and attempt to swallow you.

You quickly strafe out of the way and go in for an attack. You straighten your hand and deliver a solid chop to Seraphs body. The snake hurl to the ground, unable to move. You raise your brow at this. You put a lot of power into that attack, but you didn't think you'd take him out that easily. It must have something to do with gas Nagas gave you. Good thing too. You didn't want to spend too long fighting Seraph. He isn't your target right now.

You land near Seraph and walk up to him. He seems dazed and confused.

"Seraph! Where is Viper?"

"You… you went to my father!"

"That wasn't my question Seraph. Where. Is. Viper?"

Seraph laughs and lunges at you. You jump out of the way and land on his scaly hide.

"You're slow. You can't beat me as you are. Tell me where Viper is."

"Damn… you Drakon. I will kill you!"

"No you won't. I'll let you live if you tell me where Viper is," you say with slight aggravation.

"I won't tell you anything!"

You shake your head and fly into the air a little bit. Seraph smiles and rushes you. It catches you slightly off guard, and you take a direct hit. You flip through the air until you can gain your bearings. You look at Seraph who is still as agile as ever and is coming straight for you.

"You thought that would keep me down? Father knowssssssss nothing!"

"This might be a problem," you mutter.

You quickly turn around and start flying opposite of Seraph. He attempts to swallow you, but you fly to the right. He tries again but you make a hard left then straight up in the air. Seraph hisses and follows you. You look back to see him still coming. You thought you would have hit his limit by now, but no.

You retract your wings and hang in the air for a moment. You slowly come back down and dive right for Seraph. You pull out your katana and ready it. Seraph opens his mouth to eat you, but you have other plans. You start barrel rolling to the left. You just miss the entrance of Seraph's mouth. You move your body up right and jab your sword into Seraph. He lets out a large cry of pain. You continue to cut down his hide for a bit before pushing off with your legs and go towards the ground.

You throw your hand forward and create a pocket of air to slow yourself down. You land okay and quickly turn your attention to Seraph. He is coming down on you fast. You clench your fists and extend your wings, but you don't stop there. You fill your whole body with scales to harden yourself up. You sheathe your sword then fly towards the massive snake. Once you get close you start throwing everything you have at him. You punch, kick, elbow, and knee everywhere under him. He can't fight back at all. You move up and down his scaly hide to even out the beating.

You persist in your attack until he's high in the air, then you fly even higher. You come back down with a fist charged with air and fire. You throw the punch right at the center of his body and send him crashing to the ground. When you hit the ground a giant tornado of fire erupts due to your attack, destroying a part of the forest around Arendelle.

You stand in the smoke of your attack, panting heavily. That attack took a bit out of you, but you can still fight if need be. You start to hear Seraph laugh. You instantly look up and see him coming down upon you. He hits you good and drags you across the ground, beating you with the earth and debris. He backs off for a moment and gets some distance. You slowly push yourself onto your hands and knees, panting.

"It didn't matter anyway. Elsssssssa will be dead sssssssoooon!"

You clench your teeth, and fists. Your face shows obvious signs of anger.

"Don't you… talk about Elsa. I'm going to save her!" You scream.

Your eyes become dragon-like once more. You get up and throw your fist at Seraph. As you do, an ethereal dragon fist forms and punches the serpent, sending him flying. You extend your wings and charge at him. You grab him with the ethereal dragon claw and hold him in the air. The two of you are so high up that anyone could see you.

"Impresssssssive… Drakon…"

You begin crushing him.

"Where. Is. Viper?" You ask, your voice distorted and dragon-like.

Seraph begins laughing as best he can while being strangled.

"What'sssssss a magical placcccce in Arendelle? What did the queen hersssssssself create?"

Your eyes widen at the revelation. You drop Seraph and fly towards the mountains. The snake crashes on the ground, unable to move. He won't be a problem for now, thankfully. But now you know where Elsa is, and hopefully Anna and Rapunzel are there too. Hopefully they're all safe.

You approach Elsa's castle and land outside of it. You retract your wings and take a second to catch your breath. You're closing in on your limit, but you can't stop now. You're so close. You slowly walk up the ice stairs and into the castle. It's bright, slick, and cold. Very cold. You walk through the main area and up some stairs, which leads to more stairs. You can hear someone talking. You crouch down a bit and start going up the stairs.

"Why isn't it working? I have everything I need!" Viper yells. "Is there something I'm missing?"

Viper stands in the middle of some sort of carving. It has many spirals that connect the middle, which is Viper, to the three points which Anna, Elsa, and Rapunzel are. Viper exits the middle and walks over to a small scroll. He picks it up and reads through it.

"I have everything I need. The three share blood and have power. I should be able to collect it all!"

"And that's your mistake," you chuckle.

Viper spins around to see you. He smirks and assumes a relaxed stance.

"You're here… that's unexpected but I suppose you can watch as I drain the life out of these three, then onto the next three," he says, pointing to Gaia, Pabbie, and a light blue haired boy.

You sigh in happiness that you're in time. Nobody is dead yet. You've made it.

"Anna doesn't have powers. I told you that."

"You want me to believe that this child – in a blood line that is filled with magical abilities – is the only one not to have powers?"

"No, I'm saying that those two were the only one with powers, and Rapunzel's weren't natural. You've made a mistake, and now you're finished."

Viper laughs and pulls out his sword. He circles around the three royal women, and you walk opposite of him.

"And who is it that will stop me? You? I've already proven to be better than you. A Drakon is nothing in the face of my skill."

"Oh really? Well…"

You take off your coat, revealing the sleeveless black body armour under it. You toss your coat near Gaia.

"I suppose we'll just have to see who's better one more time. If I'm right, then it's 1-1."

You pull out the Dragon Sword and smile at Viper. You have to try and lead him away from the girls. You don't want them to get hurt during this fight. You keep your eyes on Viper, but your body is in a relaxed state. The tip of your blade touches the ice floor, and you're only holding the sword with one arm.

Viper starts and dashes at you. You swipe your sword up and block the attack. You push even more and send Viper into the air. He flips and lands on the ceiling. You instantly push off your leg and go for the kill right there. Viper jumps out of the way and lands on a pillar opposite of you. You push off the wall and dash towards him. He does the same. Your blades meet in the air, giving off a loud sound and a few sparks.

Viper shoves his foot into your stomach and kicks you to the ground. You land right in the middle of his little design. As soon as you land you roll back and push off your hands to gain distance. Viper attempts to stab you right on the ground, but your move cancels that out. You quickly go in for an attack. You bring your sword down upon him, which is blocked. Viper pushes your sword back a bit then attempts to slice your stomach. You hastily block the attack and counter with a shoulder level cut. Viper blocks this.

The two of you maintain a very close battle. You keep each other on your toes and refuse to give an inch. You've barely even moved from the circle. The speed and intensity of your attacks are far beyond those of a regular person.

You spin around and slice Viper. You land a hit on his stomach. It's not very deep, but it's something. Viper snarls at this and shoots some snakes at you. You raise your arm and spin the sword lightning fast, chopping up all the snakes. Viper slides behind you and delivers a solid kick to your ribs. He forces you into the nearby ice wall. You shatter part of the wall on impact, which causes a few more cuts than you'd like. However, the body armour protects your torso, but not your arms. You stand up straight and stretch your neck, cracking it a few times.

"Is that all you got?"

Viper launches at you recklessly. Something is wrong. From what you've seen of him before Viper is usually a lot more calm and focused. He's making mistakes, and that's going to cost him. You fall onto your back and allow Viper to hover over you. You throw your feet into his stomach half a dozen times, disorienting him. You follow up with a side kick, sending Viper out a door and off the balcony.

You flip into your feet and rush over to Anna, Elsa, and Rapunzel. You want to use you're little break wisely. You get to Elsa first. You slide to your knees and raise Elsa's upper body up.

"Elsa. Come on, wake up. I can hear you breathing, you're okay."

You lightly smack her cheeks to try and wake her up. She doesn't move much. You sigh and try to think of something. One thing comes to your mind, but it's a bit cheesy. You lower yourself to her level and kiss her.

Elsa happily accepts this and wraps her hands around your neck. You quickly retract yourself and bear a confused look.

"I was already awake. I just wanted to see what you'd do."

You shake your head and smirk.

"This is serious you know."

"I know. But I knew you'd get here in time."

You lift Elsa to her feet and look over at Anna and Rapunzel. Before you can act Viper rushes through the broken door. He looks at the two of you and smiles.

"How pleasant. You two get to share one last moment before I kill you."

You step in front of the girls and ready yourself.

"Elsa, get Anna and Rapunzel out of here. I'll take care of-"

"Actually, I'll take of it. You get everyone out of here," Elsa counters, walking towards Viper.

You notice she is in a different outfit. It reminds you of the Dragon Clan outfit but made of ice and a little different.

"I-I'm sorry, what?" You ask with pure confusion.

Elsa ignores you and runs towards Viper. You don't even get ready to help her. You're just confused on why she's doing this. Elsa jumps, spins, and kicks Viper. Viper blocks it and throws a punch. Elsa lands on the ground and proceeds to block Viper's attack. She spins around and hits Viper with the back of her fist. She follows up with a knee to the stomach, then blasts him with some ice.

You raise both your brows at what you're seeing.

"But… how is… what's happening?" You ask.

"(Y/N), hurry and get them out of here! I got this!" Elsa yells, attacking Viper once more.

"Aren't I… the one who's supposed to say that? What is happening here? This is all reverse and wrong."

"(Y/N)!"

"Alright!"

You grab Anna and Rapunzel then rush over to the other three. You manage to get all of them in your grasp then look over to Elsa. She's still holding her own against Viper. She's using her body and powers effectively. You're surprised and… slightly turned on by it. It's kind of hot seeing Elsa beat the crap out of this guy.

You run off the balcony and land outside of Elsa's palace. You get a little more distance before putting everyone down. Before you can turn back you hear something coming your way. You look around and see Kristoff, Eugene, Sven, and a sled coming your way.

"Kristoff? What are you doing here?"

"I saw the giant snake thing and came to help! I saw you head over here so we followed!" Kristoff explains, grabbing Anna and Rapunzel.

Eugene grabs Pabbie and Gaia, then gets the blue haired man.

"So… where's Elsa?" Kristoff asks.

"She's… well she's fighting Viper," you shrug.

"She's… isn't that your thing?"

"I know! It's weird for me too. Listen, get these people back to Arendelle. Elsa and I will take care of this."

"Are you sure?" Kristoff asks with concern.

"I'm sure. You need to get these five out of here. Trust me, I'm not losing Elsa."

Kristoff sees the determination in your eyes. He nods and climbs into his sled.

"Good luck."

You turn back to the castle and jump up onto the balcony. You see Elsa and Viper still going at it. Elsa is launching a barrage of kicks at Viper, which he's barely blocking. Viper pulls out a kunai and attempts to stab Elsa. You reach for your own kunai to defend her. Viper's blade approaches Elsa but is stopped by a wall of ice. Elsa smiles and blasts Viper with a small blizzard. Elsa waves her hands and grabs Viper with a giant hand of ice. She throws him against a wall and slams him on the ground.

"You… are nothing to me!" Viper screams.

He shoots fire out from his body, melting the hand. He turns to Elsa and readies another fireball. You dash towards him and deliver a solid punch to his cheek. Elsa moves to where Viper is sent and kicks him back to you. You merge your hands and throw a hammerfist into his neck. Viper slides across the ground and lays there for a minute.

You smile and look to Elsa.

"Where did you learn to fight?"

"Idonis taught me while you were away."

You can't help but smile at the thought of Elsa and Idonis training together. Seems he really did think of everything. He left you with a new training partner. How nice of him.

Viper stands up, irritated beyond measure. You wipes some blood off of his face and directs his eyes to you. You can see that his eyes are very much snake-like. They're relative to your dragon eyes. You get into a fighting stance, and Elsa does as well.

"Look at that, the two partners fighting till the very end."

"Your end, maybe!" Elsa yells.

You crack a smirk.

"Very well… then I'm done playing!"

Viper grabs his cloak and throws it off. He looks like a young man, but you've never seen him before. He has short brown hair with a strong face. Like you, he must've been through a lot. However, you can see his skin start to change from white to grey, and become somewhat cracked. It looks like the hide of a snake. His teeth inch out from his mouth, and his eyes become pure snake-like. His hair begins to turn grey, and eventually fall off. You make sure you're in a position that you can get Elsa out of the way, just in case.

Viper smiles and extends his arm at you. Snakes form out of his arm and come toward you and Elsa. You are about to grab Elsa and move but she has other plans. Without even moving Elsa summons a wall in front of you. You are almost disappointed right now. She's basically showing you up. You may have elemental powers too, but you never really use them. Elsa, on the other hand, is showing much more skill with them. Then again, you're in a palace which Elsa made. She basically has control of this entire place.

Viper opens his hand and focuses for a moment. His serpent sword comes out of his skin and perfectly into his hand. He dashes at the wall and slices through it like butter. You grab Elsa and jump out of the way. You bounce off the ceiling and towards the balcony. You let Elsa down then quickly run towards Viper. You unsheathe your katana and go head to head with him.

You clash blades, making a small shock wave that knocks you both back. You recover quickly and rush Viper. He skids across the ground, but he's ready. He launches snakes out of his arm at you, but you cut through them easily. You swing diagonally at him, but he blocks. He pushes you back a little bit and attacks. You in turn block, but kick the side of his knee cap. He can't help but stumble, which gives you the chance to end this. You go for his heart.

Viper opens his mouth and spits out a large snake right before you stab him. The snake arcs across the room and onto the ground. It wiggles around for a moment before opening its mouth and revealing Viper, who is crawling out. You stare at this development then look back at the body you just stabbed. It's decaying, and turns to mere skin. It slides off your katana like paper.

You spin your katana in circles and walk towards Viper.

"That's some interesting techniques you have there."

Viper snickers.

"Unlike you, I take full advantage of my power."

"It's not your power; not really. Besides, you seem to have sacrificed humanity for it. I wouldn't do that."

"Humanity? Humans are frail and weak! These beings are gods! Why not use their power?"

You think on his question. Why not use their power? You do, to an extent, but there's so much more for you to unlock. For example you don't even know how you formed an ethereal dragon arm. You just did it. You look over to Elsa, who is darting her eyes between you and Viper. She's someone you want to protect, right? You should want all the power in the world to keep her safe. But… that's not what strength is.

You close your eyes and smile.

"Because using someone else's power doesn't make you strong. It makes you a leech. All the power I have came from hard work. I trained for more than two decades to obtain the power I have. Sometimes… sometimes it's not enough," you say, glancing at Elsa. She understands what you mean and gives you a sympathetic face. "But that very fact is what makes me stronger. I've never been the best with words but… if I fail at something, it gives me more motivation to become better. Whether it's fighting or not. What's better, getting power handed to you, or working hard for that power? Who deserves it more?"

"Who deserves it? What does that matter? Power is power. Do the kings and queens truly deserve their throne? Did the Ice Queen prove that she was a leader before she was crowned? No. It was her birthright. It was power that was simply given to her."

Elsa cringes at his comment.

"You may be right, but there's a vast difference between Elsa and you. And besides, the power you have was never your birthright."

"Whatever already! Let's end this!" Viper howls, running at you.

You bring up your sword and defend yourself from his attack. Elsa stops standing around and comes to your aid. She pulls out the small dagger that Idonis gave her and reinforces it with the hardest ice she can muster. Holds it opposite to how you hold your sword, so that the dagger faces her rather than her opponent. She arcs the blade to come down upon Viper. Viper sees this and grabs her wrist, stopping the attack. Elsa doesn't take this, so she knees him in the stomach. Viper keeps you at bay with his sword, but you're getting the edge since Elsa is distracting him.

Elsa knees him once more. Viper growls and let's go of Elsa's arm only to punch her directly in the face, sending her flying to the wall. You watch her smack against the wall, and it gets your blood boiling. You use all your strength to knock Viper's sword out of his hand. You spin around and lower your upper body a bit so you can kick Viper easier. You keep your momentum and use the same leg to kick Viper in the stomach.

Viper grabs your leg and pulls it close to him. He punches you in the face, disorienting you. You try to regain yourself. Viper quickly tackles you to the ground. This causes you sword to skid across the ground, away from you. In the scuffle you're able to toss Viper off of you. He slides across the ground and gets ready to fight. You get up and smile at the challenge. It's good to fight on equal footing like this.

Elsa gets to her feet and looks to you and Viper. She notices you're breathing a little heavier than normal. She glances around the room and sees your sword on the ground. She smirks at the sight. If she can get it to you then maybe you can end this. Before Elsa starts moving the ground begins to shake. Elsa looks around in confusion. You see Viper smile, which gets you concerned. The only thing that could be making this kind of noise is Seraph, but you took him down.

You hear something burst out of the ground close to your location. You look out the broken balcony door and see Seraph coming for the room. You quickly run to Elsa and extend your wings. You cover the two of you and brace for impact. Seraph breaks through the upper floor and goes right through the castle, taking you with him. You and Elsa fly out the other side. You retract your wings, which are covered in shards. Elsa keeps her head in your chest for protection. You keep flying through the air until your back meets the mountain side. You cough up some blood on impact then roll down the mountain. You keep Elsa covered as best you can but you hear her grunt a few times in pain. You hold her close to you until you stop rolling.

You pick yourself up along with Elsa. She's helping you stand more than you're helping her. You're bleed out the mouth a bit along with other cuts around your arms. Your body armour even has a dent in it. Elsa sizes you up and tries to heal some of your wounds with her ice. You see Seraph and Viper coming your way again.

"Elsa, move!"

You grab Elsa and jump out of the way. Seraph hits the mountain and snakes into it. He's basically making it his own. You run down the mountain with Seraph on your tail. Viper stands on top of Seraph as he chases you. Viper jumps off of Seraph and lands a little ways in front of you. He spreads out his hands and summons a vast amount of snakes, both small and large.

"(Y/N)!" Elsa calls out.

"I see it!"

You continue to run towards it until there's almost no room. You hop a little to get some momentum, then as you land you spring high into the air. Seraph immediately chases after you, but smaller snakes don't. You look down to see the colossal snake still coming at you, it's mouth ready to swallow the two of you whole.

You cringe trying to think of a way out. Your body can't take much more. Between the powers and the beating, you're getting too tired.

I have to risk it or Elsa's going to get hurt.

You spread your wings and fly to the right as fast as you can. You fly as fast as you can to a point far away. You attempt to land but your body is too injured at the moment. You crash land into the forest. Elsa puts up a ball of ice at the last second to keep you both safe. She melts the ice and looks around for you. You're face first in the dirt and bleeding bad.

"(Y/N)!" Elsa cries out, rushing to you.

She lifts you up and holds you in her arms. She looks up and sees Seraph watching the two of you from the mountain. Elsa looks back down at you. You're eyes are half closed and your breathing is groggy.

"Elsa… you're… okay?" You slowly ask.

"I'm fine (Y/N). It's you I'm worried about."

You look towards the mountain and see Seraph. You use Elsa to help you get to your feet. You're able to stand on your own without a lot of trouble. You're breathing heavy though. Your whole body is going up and down every time you inhale and exhale. Elsa keeps her hands on your back and chest for support.

"Elsa… you have to go."

"What? Are you insane!?"

"You have to go… I'll take care of these two."

Elsa moves in front of you and slides both hands onto your shoulders.

"(Y/N) I am not leaving you here. You won't survive and you know that."

You chuckle and take a few steps towards the mountain.

"I know the odds are against me… but if there's a way to win then I'm gonna find it!"

"That's so cheesy," Elsa says, rolling her eyes.

You look back and shake your head.

"Just get moving Elsa. I can fight better knowing that you aren't at risk!"

You start running as fast as you can towards the mountain, leaving Elsa in the dust. You run through the forest and towards Seraph and Viper. You get to your limit and jump towards Seraph and Viper. Seraph opens his mouth and allows hundreds of clan members to fly out of it.

You extend your wings and fill your fists with fire. You close in on the cloud of Serpent Clan members. You throw a punch at the first one. The fire blasts through him and hits dozens of others. You keep your body spinning and throw your limbs at every person that gets close to you.

You get past all the men, but don't kill them all. Some of them are ready to come flank you. You keep flying towards Seraph and Viper. Seraph shoots out of the mountain and towards you. All of a sudden you see scaly wings burst out of him. Your eyes widen at the sight but you don't move from your path. You charge right for Viper. Viper charges his fist and thrusts it at you. You punch at the same time.

You flip over Viper and slide across Seraph's skin. You drift across his hide and come to a stop. Viper runs at you, ready for the fight. You stand up and ready yourself. Viper jumps and attempts to kick you. You move to the side, then bring your elbow onto his back. He slams on the hide hard. You bring your foot down on his back, but he rolls out of the way and sweeps your feet out from under you. You begin to fall on the ground but you're able to push yourself away from Viper before completing your flip.

You land but need to get your balance. It's more difficult to walk around on a moving snake hide rather than the soil. Viper is already on his way towards you. He throws a punch, which you duck to dodge. You and Viper are back to back right now. You execute an elbow which connect. He tries to elbow your face but you block it. He slithers his arm around yours and flips you over his shoulder. He continues by shoving his knee in your face. You use your free hand to guide his knee away from you. Dislocate your shoulder in order to complete your flip. Viper widens his eyes at your move. You slide your foot and position your body behind Viper. You throw your free hand in three different spots around his ribs. You place your foot at his back then push with as much force as possible.

Viper face plants into Seraph's skin. You grab your arm and relocate it. You cringe in pain but keep your cool the best you can. Viper yells at you and runs at you as fast as possible. He once again jumps into the air and throws both feet at you. You block them both, taking a step back each time. Viper continues to throw a plethora of punches and kicks at you. You block most of them, and even get some of your own hits in. But you are being pushed farther and farther down Seraph's body.

Seraph flies the area in no clear pattern. You can still barely believe that a snake is flying. It doesn't seem like that should happen. Some of the Serpent Clan members reach Seraph and come after you. However some of them are distracted in the forest.

Dozens of Serpent Clan members attempt to attack you, along with Viper. You jump over Viper and side kick on of the men, sending him flying down to the earth. You land on Seraph and quickly start moving. You block every punch and kick that comes at you from all directions. You're starting to slip up, however. Your body is slowly giving up on you. You knock some of the clan members away, finishing up all the ones that came at you. You're surprised you were able to keep three dozen guys at bay. However, Viper quickly comes in and ruins your break.

You and Viper exchange blows. He's more on the offensive than you are. You see him smirk, then he jumps back. You raise you brow but hear something coming at you. You look to the left and see Seraph coming at you once more. You have nowhere to go. Seraph collides with you and drags you into the mountain, right beside Elsa's palace. Seraph backs off, allowing you to fall down to the snow.

He takes position to watch over you. Viper jumps off of Seraph and takes a few steps towards you.

"You fought well, but you can't fight both of us."

"Not together… I can't. Separately… you're both nothing."

You look behind them and see Elsa approach you. She's a little beaten, but she's alive. She's also here, like she shouldn't be. You told her to leave.

She's so stubborn.

"Seraph, finish it."

Seraph opens his mouth and starts rushing at you. As he closes in your hear a roar. Seraph is immediately forced to the ground by some sort of claw. You close your eyes for a moment during the impact then look up. A familiar dragon stands prominent on top of the snake Seraph looks up at the dragon.

"Rhaegosssssssss."

Rhaegos brings Seraph's face closer to his and roars at him. He throws Seraph high into the air then looks down at you.

"Hey… dad… perfect timing."

"I'll deal with the serpent, but you have to finish the man," he states, glaring at Viper who is extremely worried at the moment.

Rhaegos flies into the air and goes for Seraph once more. He flies right past him, clawing him real deep. Seraph has barely any chance to recover as he spirals through the air. Rhaegos grabs Seraph again and takes him above the clouds and out of sight.

Elsa is in complete awe at what she just saw.

"Was that… a dragon?" She quietly asks herself. "Dragons… exist?"

You slowly pick yourself up and face Viper.

"Come on Viper… let's finish this!"

Viper clenches his fists and angrily stares at you.

"Why won't you just die!?"

"You had your chance once… and that was your only chance," you chuckle.

Viper jumps towards you, grabs your face, and slams you through the ice palace wall. Elsa immediately starts running towards you. Before she can a few of the Serpent Clan members land in front of her.

"You guys again," she sighs. "I really don't want to fight."

They pull out there weapons and attack. Elsa slips through all their attacks without any problem. She now has her back to the castle, and all the clan members coming from in front of her.

"No touching mama!" A voice howls.

The members turn around only to be smacked away by a giant snow man. He howls, causing sharp ice spikes to appear all over his body. Elsa smiles and starts running towards the castle. Marshmallow begins chasing the remaining serpent clan members through the forest, tossing them around.

You crash through the wall and skid across the floor. Viper rushes up to you and kicks you several times in the stomach. You cough up some blood each time. Viper grabs your neck and tosses you across the room. You smack into the wall then fall on the floor. Viper runs at you once more. You move out of the way and get to your feet. You raise your hands and smile at him. He gets even angrier.

You both run at each other and crash into each other. Viper spins and throws his foot at you. You block and thrust your fist at him. He pushes it away, but you follow up with your other fist. It collides with his face. He stumbles back a bit which gives you the opportunity to hit him with a seven hit combination of fist and foot. You finish with one straight kick to his stomach. He rolls across the ground then bounces to his feet.

You look over to the door and notice Elsa is about to enter. You tilt your head towards you shoulder for a moment and close your eyes. You create a fireball and throw it above the door, blocking her way.

Elsa backs up a seconds and snarls.

"He's so stubborn!" She snarls.

You look back to Viper. You use the rest of your power and fill your entire body with dragon scales. Your eyes change to those of a dragon as well. Your body armour starts to adapt to the scales, and spreads to your entire body. Your whole body fills with the sharp, strong scales to protect yourself with. Viper snarls and does all he can. However he's already used all his power.

Thankfully using this power has somewhat healed you. You're feeling much stronger at the moment. You both run at each other for one last battle. Viper charges a punch filled with every single element he can muster. You throws it at you. You tilt your head enough so that it barely passes your cheek bone. You shove your fist in his face and push him all the way to the wall. You grace him with dozens of punches to his stomach. He coughs up blood after each punch. You grab his stomach, spin around, and slam him on the ground.

You look over to your sword and use air to bring it to your grasp. You get on one knee and shove the sword up to Viper's throat, but don't push enough to cut him.

"Wait, no! I spared you! Where is your honour?" Viper questions.

"Honour?" You say with a dark smile. "Ask the hundreds of souls whose lives you cut short, ask the people who I deeply cared for if honour matters."

You stand up and aim your blade to his head. You shove it right down… beside his head.

"But as much as I want to listen to them… you did spare my life. I won't kill you. However," you say as you turn to the balcony.

Seraph falls to the ground in defeat. Rhaegos lands on top of him and lets out a deafening roar of victory. You grab Viper and walk towards the balcony. Once you reach the balcony you toss Viper's broken body beside Seraph.

You turn around and walk towards your coat. Thankfully it's still here and still in one piece. You let the scales and changes melt off your body before slipping into the coat once more. It feels nice. You sheathe your sword and go to the balcony once more. You jump off the balcony and land right in front of the stairs leading to the palace. You fall to your knees on impact. You let out a small chuckle whilst pushing off your knee and standing up straight. Elsa exits the building and sees you. She runs down the stairs and jumps on you.

"What were you thinking? How could you fight him alone?" She spews.

"Hey! Calm down!" You chuckle.

You roll onto your back and stare up at her. She has a few cuts on her face and her hair is all messy. However it still maintains that one braid. The sun beams down on the both of you, but it makes it difficult for you to see Elsa. She almost seems like a giant looking down upon you. She smiles seductively at you.

"You got to us you know. You made it in time."

She closes the gap between your mouths, passionately kissing you. She breaks off and looks down at you.

"Elsa… my ribs…"

"Oh, sorry," she blushes and quickly gets off of you.

Rhaegos ignores you and looks towards the forest. He sees another snake coming his way. He doesn't react in the slightest.

"Nagas. It's been awhile."

Nagas slips out of the trees and beside Rhaegos.

"Sssssssseemsssssss your sssssssssssson came out victoriousssssssss. And thank you… for not killing my child."

"I heard your deal. I wasn't about to start anything," he slowly states. "Besides… you didn't kill mine."

You look up and see Nagas and Rhaegos. Elsa notices them too and is in complete awe. You see this and can't help but snicker. You get to your feet and point at Rhaegos.

"Elsa… that dragon is my father."

"Wow… I never would have believed that dragons or giant snakes existed. This is… truly something else."

You chuckle. "Well they do. Oh and I made sure to save the human for you Nagas! Do with him as you please!"

Viper starts to wake up. He looks around. He first sees a weakened you and Elsa. He smiles and attempts to move towards you. Rhaegos starts growling, causing him to stop. Viper slowly looks over at the dragon and snake.

"(Y/N)… you said you wouldn't kill me," he shouts.

You look over at him.

"I know. I'm not. He, however, can do whatever he wants."

"I… I won't stand for it! I'm on my way to become a-"

Elsa creates an ice ball and throws it at Viper. It hits his directly in the temple, knocking him out. You can't help but laugh. Nagas and Rhaegos let out a small chuckle of their own. You lie back on the ground and take in a deep breath. It's over. The only thing left is to take Elsa back to Arendelle. You look over at her.

"You ready for a ride? We have to get back to Arendelle. Anna and Rapunzel should be there by now."

Elsa nods and cuddles up to you.

"You sure you can make the flight?"

"To be honest… no."

Elsa helps you onto your feet. You pull her close and extend your wings to fly high into the air and towards Arendelle. Rhaegos and Nagas watch you two leave.

"He hasssssss potential. You musssssst be proud."

"He has made me proud on multiple occasions. It's nice to see a child become so strong."

"Yessssssss. I wissssssh I could ssssssssay the ssssssssame for mine."

Nagas turns to Seraph and Viper.

"I will take thesssssssse two back to my home."

"Very well. Let me know what you do to Viper. I'm certain (Y/N) would like to know."

Nagas nods. Rhaegos starts flapping his wings and gets into the air. He aims towards his mountain and begins his short journey. It's been decades since he's had to fight, and that one wasn't even difficult. But Rhaegos is somewhat content that he was able to help. He'll never tell you that, however. He'll play it off like it was annoying. But in reality? You did good.

Nagas swallows both Seraph and Viper in one large gulp. He slithers his way back the way he came and into a tunnel. The two were going to be punished, that much is certain.

And that is the longest chapter in this story, I think. It was going to be longer, but I decided to cut a little out for the next chapter. There's a plus! The next chapter has a ton done! I had to stop writing the next one though. I went so hard on this chapter that it came to a point where I was just typing like a zombie. I went back and re-read this entire chapter to make sure everything wasn't crap. I really hope this chapter isn't crap though. I would feel really bad if I didn't give you guys a good chapter. You're all awesome, and I don't want to disappoint. Anyway, thanks for reading! It means a lot to me! Oh, and just for the record I did take inspiration for some of Viper's powers from Orochimaru from Naruto. I won't deny that. You ask me for a snake guy and he's the first that comes to mind. Also snakes can have wings, at least in ancient texts. Seraph actually means flying snake, so... just wanna throw that out there. Well, I rambled enough. Have a great day/night!
