Chapter 25: Banished and Victory
The battle began shortly after the group of nine left the cave. The trolls did not take long to know what was going on, and that was something Anna was hoping would not happen. She needed more time to get set up. Anna looked over at Elsa. Elsa looked intently at the oncoming troll army. It was massive- at least 2,000 trolls of four of the five types, no earth trolls would help The One To Come. They were still loyal to Pabbie, even in his death. "They're coming," Anna shouted back to Kristoff and Hogler, who were still preparing the launchers. "Hopefully Lakish buys some time. We need it," Hogler responded.
As Hogler was saying that the battle began just about 400 feet away from where Anna, Elsa, and Olaf were standing. "We must push them back," the oldest Lakii soldier said to his friends. "They are too many," another said. "We must try," the youngest said. The One then approached from beyond a hill. Everything seemed to stop at that point.
The One was very large- about four times the size of a normal earth troll. He held a large metal staff in his hand. That reminded Anna of the staff Pabbie gave her. He said she would know why and when to use it. She still did not. The One Who Is to Come also had a large fiery crown on his head that extended down onto his icy neck and even had fire balls that spit off the crown on his watery feet. The crown looked a lot like Pabbie's headpiece, except it was made of fire and not grass. He rode in an icy chariot.
Then the battle resumed. The Lakii soldiers were fighting as hard as they could. Anna gave Hogler the signal to start using the cannon balls. "Fire!" Hogler yelled as Kristoff let go of the large piece of fabric that he and Hogler were cutting earlier. The rock exploded in the air and hit about 4 trolls, taking them out. They got back up like nothing happened, though. Anna looked at Elsa and shook her head. Olaf grabbed a pile of rocks and threw them into the heat of the battle. Anna thought about something- we need more people or this battle might end in a stand still.
No sooner did she think that did she see something that she could never forget. There lying on the battle field was a Lakii soldier- the one who had volunteered first to go with the royal of Arendelle. He was visually injured. Anna had no time to think. "Elsa, take over," Anna said leaving the hill. "Will do, sister," Elsa said between throws. Anna ran next to the hurt man. "What happened," Anna asked him. "I do not know. I felt 100% and then I am now lying down, Princess Anna," the man said. "Well, I am going to get you out of here," Anna assured him. "Princess, I am done. I had a good run but now we need you to focus on victory, not me," the soldier said. "No one gets left behind and that is an order. Let me help you!" Anna said. "Your kindness is your downfall, princess," the man said getting up. He then transformed into a familiar face, one Anna saw every day of her life. "Jon?" Anna asked. "Surprised," he asked. "Not really. I was warned but why," Anna asked. "Arendelle took everything from me- my family, my freedom, my life. The One promised me revenge! Now you and your precious sister will die," Jon said pulling out a large double-bladed sword. "What did we ever do to you," Anna said. "You took my people. I am a troll, you see, a morphed one. I am partly human. The One is my father. Your people outcasted him when you formed a friendship with Pabbie! Cursed be Pabbie, the evil troll," Jon said. Then he fell. He was hit by a rock in the leg. "UGHHHH," Jon said holding his knee. Anna then knew what to do.
Anna pulled out the staff that Pabbie gave her. "Jon, you said you are a troll?" Anna said. "That is right," Jon said pulling tears from his cheek. "Then by the power of the five trolls I ban you and your father to the Forbidden Realm to wander for 1000 centuries," Anna said. Everything made sense to her now. This entire thing was preparing her to be the hero. "What? By what power do you have to do such a thing," The One asked as he ran begging to Anna. "By the power of Pabbie, the troll! He has given me his staff and now I banish you for eternity," Anna said. With that The One entered into a deep sleep and Jon feel down after his father.
After about five more hours of fighting off the rest of The One's troll servants the group of 9 secured fate by gaining victory!
"So, Anna what do we do with these two now," Hogler asked looking down at the bodies of Jon and The One. The Lakii soldiers and Gregory of Lakish went on ahead to talk to the general and secure peace. "We cannot just leave them here," Olaf observed. "We will not. We will take them back and put them in the dungeon. They may be criminals but they were shaped into that. It is not fully their fault. The One was just doiung what he thought his purpose for life was- bringing unity to all the trolls," Anna explained. Then Anna turned around and saw a faint image of Pabbie holding his thumb up as to say "good work, Anna." "Well, this is the way we may shape ourselves to be in the future if we do not be careful. We now have a warning of what fitting expectations can do. It is a dangerous slope and we all have things that make us special. Elsa and Hogler have ice powers that they cannot be afraid to use. Anna, you are a hero, a natural born leader. Kristoff, you are so smart. You may not think so but you are. Olaf, you always look at the good," a voice said. Everyone turned around. Stadning there was a ghost of someone Anna and Elsa knew well- their Papa, "Now go and live the new legacy!"
The group returned to Arendelle with an amazing story to tell the people!
