Monsters and Magic: Divide and Unite
By: DJ Rodriguez
(Author's Notes: Hi everyone! Glad that you all liked the chapter I posted up earlier. Again, I give thanks to God and Jesus for giving me the conviction, drive and imagination to see it through! These gifts belong to Him, so I want to do my best to give credit and praise to the one who gave these gifts to me.
Also, want to give a thank you to you loyal reviewers for the ideas you have given me through your reviews! This one goes out to Darkness Rissing and also to my sweetheart and lady love, Kearitona Sjachraelgil! Also known as Sarah-chan to me! So thank you, the two of you, for your passionate and awesome reviews/ideas! And a shout-out to the other reviewers and readers too!
In this chapter, the battle comes to a heated frenzy and the arrival of the final member to this party! Battles in the air and on the ground, magic and weapons flying all around, and even romance in the heat of war blossoms! I really hope to make this like the Disney and Toho of old, true-school battle, action and romance like in the classic days of the 80's and 90's!
On a final note, still looking for anyone that is willing to do a story that fuses my first novel Monsters and Magic with Sofia the First. Checking to see if anyone has made a video review on any of my novels for YouTube. And last but not least, still trying to get Disney and Toho to take a serious look at my novels. Not easy, but it's worth trying for! I thank Jesus for giving me the courage and conviction in sending out a third letter to the Walt Disney Animation Studios, telling them about my novels. Wish me luck! Still haven't found the address for Toho yet…
I do not own Godzilla or any monster that is from Toho, nor do I own any of the Disney characters or places. I do own my OC creations, and most of the songs used here. If I use any song that is by another artist, I will give him/her/them their proper credit and dues as is their right.
Now, on with the novel!)
Chapter 36
Copenhagen was the center of a battle that would determine the fate of the known world, the forces of good and evil clashing to see on who would be the victor! Former prince of Denmark, Hans had been very much prepared to take over the kingdom of his brothers. And when he saw the incredible magical power of his new accessory, the Master Crystal, and the unstoppable force of two space monsters from another universe Gigan and Space Godzilla that said crystal brought to him, he was now set upon completely on taking over the entire known continent… and then the rest of the world! He had managed to gain a human army of considerable force and cleverness, and with the Master Crystal, increased its numbers and threat level greatly! He had already conquered the realm of Randers that was ruled by his second eldest brother King Albert, and now he was ready to topple and destroy the kingdom that was ruled by his very eldest brother, King Hrok.
However, even he could not fathom that a ragtag if formidable force was now going up against him in a manner that really stunned and confused him. Not to mention really aggravate his nerves!
Coming up close to the shore of Copenhagen, near the castle was the five ships that set sail from Arendelle. Once the vessels were anchored and secured, each party from the ships came to shore thanks to a magical ice bridge that Elsa formed. Touching down on ground first were Queen Elsa, Princess Anna, Regina, Alice and Lady Beneditka. Following after them was Prince Eugene, Captain Rissing, Kristoff, Olaf, Sven and Håvard.
The menfolk were a little wary around the lovely ladies, as they looked very ticked off and ready to go to battle. Olaf inquired to the Ice Master, "Why is it they are so upset? They really look like they want to hurt someone bad.".
Kristoff was about to answer, when Eugene stepped in. The former thief knew a bit more about women then the Ice Master, it was a given since he was a bit more sociable then him. The prince answered, "Well, my little snowman friend. You see, the ladies have a bit of a strong maternal instinct that is showing now. When they saw that… baby monster being held in mid-air like that, they got very angry along with Godzilla. In their view, such a thing is inexcusable so that is why they are ready to rumble!". Both the prince and Kristoff were wondering on how in the world was Little Godzilla able to just spin in mid-air like that.
Queen Elsa and the others turned to see that the Mountain troll army was now accounted for on the beach shore, all 1,200 strong male and female fighters! Lady Beneditka declared for all to hear, "Is everyone present and accounted for?! Are we missing anyone?!". A female Mountain troll came to her quick, reporting that aside from a little motion sickness due to the waves earlier, all were accounted for her and ready to fight.
Anna turned the scene before her, seeing that the castle was still standing. She and Elsa had been to Copenhagen once last year, and it still amazed her on how vast and populated the kingdom was when compared to her own. She stated, "I'm surprised that the castle is still standing. I bet that King Hrok put up some defense to last this long against those monsters.". She gestured to a fallen Space Godzilla and Gigan, who were slowly rising up after they had been knocked down by their adversaries. Coming towards the group now was a shaken but still fine Little Godzilla, the saurian squeaking out as he waddled over to the motley group of heroes/heroines.
Regina looked up at the sea to see the King of the Monsters coming in fast, stomping out of the water as he pushed past the anchored ships, going towards his son. Godzilla went to his son, embracing him and letting out low growls showing that he was glad that his son was okay now. The Spanish-born beauty smiled and stated, "Now that is one good family reunion!".
A voice called out from above, "I have to agree with you on that, miss!". The group looked around, then looked up to see that Azad, Malak, Meihui, and Mushu coming down towards them on Carpet with Genie flying beside them as a wingman. Elsa and the others were amazed to see a flying carpet, and a large blue being that seemed to fly on his own. That, and having no legs but a blue tail also stunned them.
Captain Rissing went in front of his queen and princess and inquired, "Excuse me, but who are you and what are you doing here?". If they were part of Hans's army, the captain was more then ready to lay down his life to protect the royal women of Arendelle.
Once they had gotten to a certain height, the prince and princess of Agrabah leapt down to solid ground, the alluring Chinese woman leaping down with her guardian dragon by her side. Azad spoke, "Hello everyone! I am Prince Azad from Agrabah, and this is my sister Princess Malak. And these are our friends; magical flying Carpet, Fa Meihui and her guardian dragon spirit Mushu, and also the comical Genie.". The mentioned names either bowed slightly to the group, or in Mushu and Carpet's case, just waved their claw/tassels at them. Genie went a bit over the top as usual, declaring that he was a free genie and did not grant wishes… doing so as he transformed into someone named Martin Luther King Jr.
Before anyone else could say anything, a loud roar filled the air but it wasn't from Godzilla or his son. Malak looked behind her and added, "Oh, and this is our new friend King Caesar. He's a divine guardian beast from another universe!". Said hybrid guardian had gotten up after his football-like tackle on Gigan, stomping away from the fallen cyborg dinosaur from outer space. He was surprised to see Godzilla here, along with his son Little Godzilla. The lion-dog monster went towards them, letting out a welcoming bark as he saw his ally/friend. Godzilla responded by roaring loudly, nodding his head as he was thanking King Caesar for saving his son earlier. He had seen what happened, and was very grateful towards his friend/ally for saving his son.
Mushu looked to the group from Arendelle and asked, "You know us, now how about you tell me who YOU people are? And what those two are, since I know they ain't part of my family!". As usual, the smart-mouth dragon fired off the first thing that came to his mind rather then show some tact. The group from Agrabah were surprised to see something as massive as Godzilla, and more so when they did see him fire off that blue flame of his. Mushu was a little bit jealous inside, seeing behemoths that looked like dragons but were far from it, and him still all small even though he could change into a bigger form.
Anna answered, "We are from Arendelle, and our large dinosaur friend is Godzilla the King of the Monsters. I believe that the small one next to him his is son, Little Godzilla.". The princess and the rest of the group from Arendelle were amazed to see a real genie, a flying exotic carpet, and a small dragon with a large mouth on it.
Another voice called out from a distance, "Hey! You know of Little Godzilla?!". The group turned to see that running towards them was a beautiful maiden on a powerful-looking white horse, with two animals on her shoulders. Behind her were some adult men in uniforms, and also a couple that had royal clothing on. Both were doing their best to keep up with the young woman on the horse. The most unusual sight was eight colorful spheres hovering close to the maiden on the horse, and the lights dimmed a little to show that they were actually fairies! Like the ones from the childhood stories.
Eugene broke through the crowd, staring a little hard to make sure it was who he was hoping it was. A grin broke out on his face as he exclaimed, "Rapunzel! Rapunzel, it's really you!". The princess stopped Maximus, and looked to see that within the group they were coming towards was her husband Prince Eugene. She was startled and stunned that he was here, but those two emotions quickly transformed to joy as she got off her friend and ran towards her love! Pascal and Buizel got off, going on the old warhorse as they saw their friend run towards her better half.
The two met halfway, the prince grabbing his lovely princess in a powerful, strong embrace and spinning her around a little. After setting Rapunzel down, the two shared a strong and sweet kiss that showed to all that they were very much in love and devoted to one another. Tinkerbell looked to Queen Katharina when she and the others caught up with them. The tinker-fairy inquired, "Is that the prince that Rapunzel talks about? The one we saw in the pictures at the castle?". During their stay at the palace, the pixies had seen many pictures of the man that had captured Princess Rapunzel's heart. And talked about a lot from said woman. The queen gave a nod, replaying that he was Prince Eugene but went by another name called Flynn Rider, though that was some time ago.
Said prince released the kiss, wanting to get a bit of a breath after the soulful affection. He whispered, "Rapunzel, what are you doing here?! Scratch that, why are you even here?! I thought that you were back home in Lelystad with your folks and… your hair! Its blonde and long again!". Eugene was indeed surprised to finally see that Rapunzel had her entire long, golden hair back. No longer was it brunette, but a luxurious and luscious long length of strong blonde hair.
The blonde woman silenced her intended by putting a delicate finger to his lips. She then replied, "There will be plenty of time to answer those questions later, dear. But right now, we need to find out on what is really going on here. Also, to protect our new friend Little Godzilla.". The prince turned to look from his wife to the little monster that was clinging to his father's left leg.
Before anything else could happen, a solider from the castle went to them. It was a young man that bore King Hrok's royal crest emblem on his shirt. He went to Queen Elsa due to him recognizing her and Princess Anna off the bat, stating, "Your Highnesses, everyone! King Hrok and Queen Gunnvor need all of you inside the castle walls, and to see him! I believe that all of this confusion can be straightened out with him.". Elsa looked to her sister, her friends, the Mountain troll army and the rest of the beings that had just come into play here. She answered that she and her group would come, but looked to the others to see their answers.
Azad looked to the white-haired beauty in front of him and thought, 'This woman… she is lovely, and also very strong if her stance and tone indicate it. And I saw that she can create ice! A natural power or is it a gift from a magic-user? She is different then the ladies back in Agrabah, in more ways than one and in a good way…'. It seems that the headstrong and playful prince of the hot desert sands was now smitten with the strong-willed and brave queen of the ice.
Malak stated, "We'll come too! I have a feeling that all of us have pieces to a puzzle that can only be solved together.". Meihui and the others agreed with her, feeling that all of them together like this was not just coincidence.
King Floris went to the soldier and stated, "We will come to! The young lady maybe correct about this, that all of us are here for a reason, not by chance.". His wife agreed with him, as did the few soldiers they had with them. Rapunzel, Eugene and the pixies from Pixie Hollow also agreed. Though in the fairies case, their reply came out in the form of melodious tinkles. But unknown to the fairies, they were heard clear as day by Genie, Carpet, the royal members of Agrabah, Lady Beneditka, Håvard, Olaf, Anna, Elsa and Alice!
The representative soldier exclaimed, "Okay now, please follow me! We need to go before the titans get their senses back…". Just as the words formed in his mouth, a terrifying screech and unholy roar came from the spot near the castle!
Gigan and Space Godzilla were regaining their senses! The duo let out screeches and roars of anger and humiliation, both space monsters incensed that they had been blindsided in such a manner. And their fury increased exponentially upon seeing Godzilla, the King of the Monsters that ignited something terrible within them! Gigan was ticked off to see the one who had defeated him many times in the past, and Space Godzilla was angry due to Maleficent's reaction upon seeing one of the beasts that had robbed her of victory so many years ago.
Godzilla roared back, showing that he was back at full power and ready to rumble! His son Little Godzilla squeaked/roared back, wanting to fight by his father's side. King Caesar let out a loud roar as his floppy dog ears suddenly sprang up, now showcasing to be like bat ears and his eagerness to show these space monsters on why he was a divine guardian beast!
The humans and non-humans down below were rooted to the spot as Godzilla and the others stalked past them, going towards the space monsters. When the behemoths passed them, the Copenhagen soldier yelled out, "Quickly, to the castle!". There was no need to be told twice as everyone beat feet towards the home of King Hrok! Azad and Malak hopped on Carpet, who flew fast and free behind the escort, while Rapunzel and Eugene rode back on Maximus. Tinkerbell and her fairy friends flew around the others in a protective barrier. The Mountain trolls followed as well in formation, ready to assist as best they can.
Alice looked to see Godzilla, King Caesar and amazingly even Little Godzilla almost upon Space Godzilla and Gigan. She yelled out to her companions, "We better come up with a plan of action soon while our friends take care of those scary brutes!". The English woman had a feeling when it came to Godzilla's half-sister that she had more tricks or abilities up her sleeve, ones that she kept hidden. Anna, Elsa and the others from Arendelle agreed on that, believing that a battle plan needed to be formulated quickly. The entire party went through the city, all noticing that it was deserted and very glad that there were no citizens here to be caught in this kind of epic battle of the titans.
While the smaller beings made their way to the main area of the castle, the monsters from another universe were duking it out!
Godzilla and his son went towards Space Godzilla, apparently both wanting to finish what they started back in their own world. The large saurian ordered Little Godzilla to hang back, roaring and ready to fight his space sibling. Space Godzilla roared back and shot lighting from her shoulder crystals at the two monsters! The blast was effective as the celestial electricity coursed through Godzilla's body, making him shriek out in pain from such an effective move. Little Godzilla squeaked loudly, waddling/running towards his half-aunt to try and help his father. A casual kick from the celestial saurian was enough to send the young one falling down, rolling towards his father. Godzilla managed to stop his son, and protected him from a yellow Spiral Lighting blast that came from Space Godzilla's maw! The King of the Monsters roared loudly in pain, but refused to fall! No one was going to topple him, not now or ever!
While the saurian were fighting, King Caesar was engaging Gigan. The cyborg monster came at him fast with slash attacks from his scythe arms, and also kicks from his crescent-shaped scythe feet. The hybrid monster defended himself against these physical attacks, but even his tough fur and hide had their limits when taking blows from alien metal. Gigan managed to draw a small amount of blood from King Caesar's left forearm, screeching in having being the first to draw it out. King Caesar roared loudly, letting the arm bleed a little before his divine healing abilities kicked in to try and seal the slash mark. He ran to Gigan, leapt in the air and delivered a drop kick that stunned the cyborg dinosaur from another planet! Gigan was pushed back a little, and King Caesar capitalized on his momentary stun state to go for a tackle. But the alien monster was more quick to recover, dodging at the last minute and having King Caesar fly flat onto the landscape as he crashed into the ground. Gigan let loose with his Laser Eye technique, but the lion-dog monster was quick on the defense as well. He rolled away from the hot red laser beam, and got back up on his legs. The battle was just heating up!
Inside King Hrok's main castle, the king and his queen were meeting with everyone that had just come into his kingdom. When they all arrived, he greeted Anna, Elsa, King Floris and Queen Katharina first since they were royalty. Plus, he did know them well since he did meet the four at conferences and such when the time came for various royalty to come together. After that, he did a quick introduction of himself and his lady love to the others, who also introduced themselves just as quickly to the Denmark royals. Hrok stated after the introductions were done, "Please tell me, why is it that you all have come and bearing monsters? I already have enough trouble with the ones that Hans summoned!".
Lady Beneditka and Lady Airlia came up on the scene, both having learned much about the situation. The Mountain troll leader spoke, "Your Highness, I believe that the explanation can be told by all of us here. Only then can we fully grasp the situation here.". She and the fairy of time & space started their story on how they learned of the summoned monsters, and each of the guests in the groups put in their own story along the way. It was a bit confusing at first for King Hrok and Queen Gunnvor, but soon everything was straightened out and it seemed that the story was complete.
He rubbed his temple with his right hand, then he spoke, "Indeed, it cannot be coincidence that all of you are here with the monsters you are bonded to. I really believe that the High One above has brought you all here together to combat Hans and the evil he has brought to the realm.". Many seemed to agree with him, feeling that lost and scattered puzzles had been reunited and completed in such a way that it was fantastic.
Mushu put up, "Okay, that's real nice and such. That we're all one big, happy family thanks to Fate and Destiny. Now, how about we go to the real deal at hand… LIKE STOPPING A PAIR OF MONSTERS FROM ANOTHER UNIVERSE FROM WRECKING THE WHOLE PLANET!". Just after he spoke those words, the room rocked and quaked violently due to the intense battle outside. Luckily for the soldiers, the castle was still a ways from ground zero and was being spared of being hit by either projectile blasts or swinging limbs. Amanda and Christopher were already inside the safe confines of the castle, in a room where they were resting and healing.
Azad spoke up, "The little lizard is right, your Highness. We need to find a way to stop the monster war that is going on now, and I believe the best way is to eliminate the head of the problem.". Hrok knew that he was talking about his foolish youngest brother, and he agreed with it. It was the matter on how to cut off Hans from his power.
Elsa put in, "Prince Azad is right, Hrok. We need to take out Hans! Not kill him, but maybe knock him unconscious. If he's taken out, hopefully the rest will follow and that Space Godzilla and Gigan might become dormant.".
Håvard stated, "It will be difficult to get to him, now that he has a human and non-human army besides the space monsters. What we need to have is an effective plan, and quickly before that fool of a prince does something to escalate this conflict!". Everyone was now thinking hard as best, and as quick as they could. After some moments, it was Anna who came up with a solution.
The princess looked to Tinkerbell and inquired, "Excuse me, Tinkerbell. Can you and your friends make our ships fly, just like when we saw Rapunzel's ship fly by earlier?". The pixie was still amazed that Anna could understand her during the introductions, not realizing it was all due to the tiny bit of ice magic that was still in her being thanks to Elsa so long ago. It was that tiny bit of magic that allowed her to hear the fairies speak like normal instead of the usual jingle bell sounds that a human would normally hear.
Everyone, including King Hrok and Queen Gunnvor, gathered around the princess of Arendelle as she explained her plan to all of them.
~Back outside the castle~
Hans was outside, watching the monsters duke it out in front of the castle. The former prince had seen the group who had entered on the beach, and from out of thin air and IN the air as well, go into the castle. He thought, 'Why are so many beings here? Are they here to ruin my plans of vengence and conquest?! And with those women from Arendelle here… no! They will not ruin my plans! Not this time!'. Hans was still very much seething that Anna and Elsa were here in Copenhagen, the memory of the sister spoiling his plans for Arendelle still fresh in his mind. For King Albert, however, the sign of so many beings coming here was a sign of hope that he latched onto.
The ex-prince turned to his subordinate, "We shall press the advantage while our monsters fight with the newcomers! Gather your men and women together, and charge at the castle! Take all of it by force! Eliminate the soldiers and any others in there, but I want Hrok and his wife alive! And also… leave Anna and Elsa to me. I will deal with them personally.". The Evil Crusher minion bowed before going off to do his master's orders. Gradually, the copies and the Claw Crushers gathered together once again. Those that were injured by the fairies were healed with the limited magic that was inside each clone. Two or three clones had vanished after the healing session, but it was just a small dent in Hans's forces.
Once his 747 army members were grouped up and aligned with the castle, Hans gave the order to charge at it! With a mighty yell, the real humans and their clone counterparts rushed head long towards the castle! The madman chuckled evilly and whispered, "Even if my foolish brother has defenses, my forces have magical and anti-magical weapons on their side. And they should be clever enough to adapt and… what is this?!". His self-musing was cut short as the gates to the castle opened up, and rushing out to meet them were 700 Mountain trolls in armor! Male and female warriors from the North Mountain were rushing out to meet the enemy! And leading the attack was Elsa and Azad on Carpet!
Hans muttered out loud in disbelief, "What in the world are those things?! And is that Elsa with a boy… on a flying carpet?!". Apparently, this tactic blew Hans mind a little and very few could blame him.
The Snow Queen and the Prince of the Sand were leading the charge against the enemy forces, flying high as they surveyed the land and Hans's forces. Azad exclaimed, "Okay, your Highness! Time to have some fun with these fools! Just be ready in case they have any kind of anti-magic weapons on hand!".
Elsa looked back at the prince and replied, "Will do! Thanks for the vote of confidence by the way! Any other would be very concerned about my safety, but at least you show confidence in my ability to fight! Thanks!". It was true in this case. Elsa appreciated when others worried about her, but frowned when many thought she could not handle herself in situations like this. In her view, Azad showing confidence in her skill and abilities was a good mark. With a smirk and a nod, the two dive-bombed in front of the warriors from the North Mountain and clashed with the enemy!
The troops under Hans showed that they wielded their weapons of choice well, and also tried to use strategy instead of merely using brute force and all. Some of them utilized the four basic elements of nature, all thanks to the Master Crystal upgrading their weapons slightly. But alas, even their cunning and imaginative weapons were no match for Mountain troll warriors who wielded skillful earth magic and weapons that were crafted extremely well. The non-human fighters showed impressive agility and strength despite their looks, and also used teamwork to help out one another. One couple showed such teamwork, a female troll fighter using a bit of earth magic to summon stone spikes that though small, were extremely sharp and pointy. It greatly impeded the Claw Crushers and Evil Crushers when they tried to surround her, and while they were busy clutching at their injured feet, the troll's partner/intended would come in quick and fast to smack the fools down with his weapon! For the ones under Lady Beneditka's command, utilizing such precise and well-honed tactics was commonplace. Trust in each other was strong, and it was evident here.
Azad and Elsa were flying around on Carpet, the queen throwing ice beams at her targets with great precision while the prince threw out something that Genie gave to him earlier. By his side was the family scimitar, pulled out from the big blue goof's handy bag of tricks. And the other were twenty round spheres that were filled with a special kind of goo that Genie called Sticky Bombs, which when thrown would explode and cover the enemy in a layer of strong goo that was similar to gum after being chewed. So he was throwing these bombs out, but not recklessly. Azad timed it so to throw the bombs when many of the foes were close together, and thus immobilizing three or four all at once. This kept on for a few minutes until one of the Claw Crushers wised up and fired an anti-magic bolt at them from her crossbow! Azad saw the incoming projectile, and his senses told him that arrow was bad news.
He exclaimed, "Queen Elsa, jump down! Carpet, twist and fly away!". The white-haired beauty looked to him, then saw the arrow. She felt her magic reacting negatively towards it, and followed Azad's warning. She and him jumped down from Carpet, who twisted enough of his body to avoid the anti-magical bolt! He then flew away fast on the prince's orders, not wanting to be turned into a lifeless rug. The moment the duo jumped and touched ground, they were surrounded by several members of the Claw Crushers.
One of them stated, "Hahahaha! The prince of Agrabah has come to fight, and with a gorgeous woman to boot! Hahaha! This will be easy!". All hefted their weapons up, but they were a bit confused when they saw the dangerous smirks on the royals faces.
Elsa spoke up, "If you thought I would be an easy target just because I'm a woman, and a royal one at that… you're sadly mistaken!". She then let out a shockwave of ice magic, knocking them down to the ground as they were covered in a fine layer of frost! Azad took out his sword and also got into the swing of things! He brought the blade down on one of the minions of Hans, but it was blocked by the opponent's weapon. The prince leapt back, not wanting to press his luck, and soon he and Elsa were back-to-back as the enemy recovered from the frosty shockwave, though they staggered due to the cold they were still feeling.
Azad looked to his companion/ally slightly and suggested, "You up for some double team tactics, your Highness?". He had a confident, playful tone as he assessed the situation. Even though they were outnumbered, he believed that he and Elsa had the advantage.
The Snow Queen smirked and replied, "Of course, Prince Azad! Let's show them what we can do!". And with that, they attacked together!
Hans was seeing the battle between Elsa and Azad from afar, very much wondering who the lad was that was working well together with the Snow Queen. He muttered, "That icy witch… of course she can fight, with that ice powers of hers. But who is the foolish whelp that is with her?". His musings were once again cut short when a large vibration filled the land. He and many of the forces looked to the castle, and were stunned to see that a massive wall of vines with thorns was being erected up from the ground! The forces of good and bad ran to get some distance from the erected wall as it continued to grow and flow, forming a natural barrier of thorns and thick vines that protected the castle that was in the battle zone. And within the wall of thorns was a bright glowing pink-green light… and it was Rosetta, who had done this deed! The Garden-talent fairy was looking a bit exhausted, but quite proud of her handiwork.
Elsa and Azad saw this, and grins were on their faces. The queen proclaimed, "Yes! Anna's second phase of the plan is coming up! I have to say, that little fairy has some power!". Even the son of Aladdin and Jasmine had to agree with that, seeing a feat of natural growth magic that was extremely rare in his kingdom. The two soon resumed fighting, taking advantage of the stunned state of the enemy.
On the other side of the thorn wall, on the battle ramparts of the castle, Anna and the others watched as the natural defense barrier was completed and the enemy more stunned by this turn in developments. The princess smiled, then turned to see Meihui on Mushu's larger form. The soldiers and many others were still a bit surprised to see the smart-aleck little dragon suddenly turn into a more larger, intimidating form. She exclaimed, "Okay, time for surprise #2! Think you can cause more chaos and confusion down there?".
Meihui answered, "Of course we can! We'll help our comrades out while you get the third part of the plan ready!". Anna's plan had relied on a mixture of force and chaos, to keep the enemy guessing and forcing them to try and adapt before bringing in more firepower or surprises. Her strategy was to keep the enemy off balance, to cause enough confusion and chaos that they would be overwhelmed and not being able to adapt quick enough.
The Chinese fighter asked Mushu if he was ready, and he replied, "Of course I'm ready, girl! Let's go down there and show them what a member of the Fa family can do!". He then let out a roar, and flew out into the skies and over the thorny wall! Many of the onlookers could not believe that a wingless beast could fly through the air, or in the case swim since it looked like he was swimming through water. When they reached the other side, Hans's forces were a little startled to see the dragon and more so when Mushu breathed out a large torrent of flames at them! Meihui jumped off her friend and joined in the battle, dressed in armor that Genie provided that showed her country's style. With a sword similar to another in China called the Sword of Goujian, Meihui joined in the fray and made her way over towards Elsa and Azad to aid them. Mushu provided back-up, like a living shield of scales and flames as the two made their way close to the Snow Queen and Desert Prince.
On the other side of the thorn wall, Anna looked to Lady Beneditka and Håvard. She inquired, "Okay, third phase is about to start. Can you two build and hold a magical barrier like Hrok's sorcerer and sorceress did?".
The leader of the Mountain trolls answered, "Indeed. We can make a magical barrier, but it won't be able to do offensive spells like the ones they did. Me and my apprentice will hold the barrier as long as we are able.". Anna nodded, finding this answer satisfactory for now. Her third part of the plan called for defense, more so against the massive monsters rather then the ones that her sister and the others were fighting against. The thorn wall was more to keep the smaller enemy forces out, while the magical barrier that Lady Beneditka and Håvard were going to be erecting was going to protect the castle from the battle between the titans. The two got in position, in the very same spot that Amanda and Chris were at some time ago. They started to focus, their pendants glowing as they summoned up their troll magic. The duo were soon enveloped in a light gray aura, and when they thrust their hands out forward, a dome of gray light formed over the castle grounds! It was like a transparent rock was over the land now, and thanks to the Mountain troll magic users, it was as solid as one.
Håvard spoke, "While the shield is not as strong as the one before, it is versatile and we can quickly repair it more should need be!". For the others, that was enough for now.
In the distance, Hans was again seething in anger as he saw another dome of magical energy over the castle. He growled, "Why are they resisting so?! Such stubborn fools!".
King Albert commented, "Heh, just shows you one thing little brother. That Hrok has more true friends and allies then you do, and that he is king of all of Denmark for a reason.". His only response was a boot to the head, causing the king of Randers to fall down in the mud. But for the older brother, that kick made him smile since it showed that he was right. Hans growled again, a bit louder this time, then summoned the power of the Master Crystal. The dragon pendent crystal around his neck glowed a black color now, indicating that it was running out of patience in witnessing the ex-prince foolishness and demands. Hans did not see, or care about this development, and summoned forth four large Western European dragons!
He used the basic elements of nature to create these fearsome beasts, each one as large as a warship! One was fiery and red, indicating its link to fire. Another was silvery and white, indicating its link to wind. One was royal blue and the scales reflected light like the sea, indicating its link to water. And the final one was a deep brown color like the mud, indicating its link to earth. Hans ordered his creations, "Go now! Attack that barrier, bring it down with all of your might! And also, destroy the fools that continue to oppose me!". The Elemental Dragons roared loudly before taking flight, going to the barrier first since it was their first priority. The magical constructs arrived at the barrier shield, and let loose their powerful elemental attacks! Streams of fire, water, concentrated earth particles, and tornado-like bursts of wind struck the defense shield! Luckily, the protective spell was holding fast.
Lady Beneditka and her apprentice showed signs of slight strain, as beads of sweat formed on their brows. She stated, "It is formidable power, but our spell is holding fast!". Anna nodded, realizing that she had to change her forth plan slightly. She turned to her intended, Kristoff and asked if the others were ready.
He replied, "Yes, Anna. Everyone is set and ready to go! The ships are finished being sprinkled, and are ready to take off.". Sven and Olaf, their ever-loyal companions, stood by the Ice Master's side and nodded their heads, agreeing with their friend. The princess smiled slightly, then looked behind her to see Fawn and Vidia with Buizel by their side.
She spoke to the three, "Okay, we're revising plan four slightly! We need the ships to take care of some little problems first before we can strike at Gigan! Tell them this, and also to set sail to fly!". Fawn and Vidia nodded, Buizel giving a sharp cry before the trio turned and headed back towards the beach. Anna was really hoping that plan four would work out in their favor.
The two pixies and unique Eurasian hobby flew towards the four Arendelle ships, one Lelystad ship, that were anchored in the bay. Fawn went to the Natural Grace, which had Rapunzel and Eugene on it. The Animal-talent fairy spoke, "Okay, it's time to fly! Change of plans though, but it's only a tiny change!". Vidia put in that they had new targets, but after taking care of them they were to all go after the main one which was Gigan. Rapunzel translated to her husband what the fairies spoke, and with a nod, Prince Eugene turned to the crew that was on the ships. Each of the five ships that were in the water had 100 of the remaining Mountain troll army, and the four Arendelle vessels had a unique captain.
Captain Rissing now commanded The Avalanche, Malak now captain of the Icy Flower with Genie by her side, and Alice with Regina was commanding the Beautiful Storm ship.
Eugene called out, "Okay everyone, time to fly and give our friends some air support!". The other ships shouted out in reply, and that is when Tinkerbell and her friends came in! Her, Silvermist, Lady Airlia, Iridessa, and Zarina were by her side, and the Tinker-talented fairy reported that the ships were now covered in pixie dust. Eugene nodded, and going to the steering wheel, turned it and the trolls on the ships set the sails. Slowly but surely… the four Arendelle ships rose up from the water! Vidia and Fawn, along with Buizel, stayed on the Natural Grace. Their duty was to provide swift messages and such between ships, and if need be, to the battlefield below.
Tinkerbell went to Rapunzel and spoke, "Okay, our job is done here! Zarina and I also enhanced the cannons along with Genie, so we should have some good firepower here. Me and the others will go back to the castle to put Anna's next plan into action! Good luck out there!". She and the others gave the princess a small bow before flying away to the castle. Princess Anna's fourth plan called for air support, to back up their friends and allies with some interesting firepower from above!
However, the one ship that did not rise up was the Lelystad ship, the Shining Sword. On it was King Floris, Queen Katharina, and other human soldiers along with the 100 troll warriors. Anna's plan also called for evacuation in case all of their actions came up short, and also to act as a safe haven for those not able to be in combat. Amanda and Chris were not on the vessel, sleeping in rooms that were close to Christopher's magical labrotory. Many believed that they would wake up soon, despite the injuries they took, and would benefit more in staying at the castle. King Hrok and Queen Gunnvor stayed behind, wanting to see all of this through at their home… even if the bitter end came.
Regina, Malak and Genie let out whoops of joy as they were in the air on a flying ship. It was Rissing who called out, "Save your joyful calls for when this battle is over! Now, load up the cannons and get the trolls ready! We're going into battle quick!". The captains, and one crazy magical genie, nodded and started to give orders to the Mountain trolls on getting the cannons ready to fire. The time for action had come for them at last!
Genie turned into a pirate captain, one very much similar to a legendary pirate of the Caribbean years ago named Captain Jack Sparrow. He exclaimed, "Argh, mateys! Let's keel-haul and shiskabob those dragons, then get after the REAL prize! Savvy? Hahahaha!". One would really want to question Genie's sanity, but it seems that a little humor never hurt anybody.
~Back at the castle~
Tinkerbell and her companions arrived back to report to Anna that the ships were in the air. The princess replied, "Excellent work! Thank you everyone. Tinkerbell, can you and Zarina enhance the Copenhagen catapults and ballista crossbows? I know it might not be enough to seriously hurt the monsters, but at least we be one heck of an annoyance to them!". The Tinker-talented and Alchemist-talented fairy smirked and replied that they would do their best, giving a small bow to the princess of Arendelle before flitting to the ground level to do what they did best… enhance ordinary things!
Anna smiled, then looked to Iridessa, Silver Mist and Lady Airlia. She inquired, "Okay now, time for the final part of the plan! Can you make reflective mirror surfaces, as tall as the tower spires here?".
The Time-Space fairy answered, "Yes, we can. Silvermist can use her new water abilities to summon enough ice, and I can enhance and enlarge the ice crystals to make some reflective surfaces that Iridessa can use. It will take some time though, and I will be drained after that.". Kristoff promised that he would take care of her should the drain be too much for her little body. Sven and Olaf came forth, saying they would help too.
The princess nodded and replied, "Thank you very much, all of you. Now, go down to the spots below where the ice mirrors will be placed! We'll buy as much time as we can!". The three bowed, then flew off to the first point at the edge of the castle, starting to get to work on their creations. Anna's plan called for Iridessa to use her Laser Light technique on the space monsters, but on a much larger scale since it seemed somewhat effective against Gigan. Silvermist would use her enhanced powers to make large ice spires that would act as a lens to focus Iridessa's magic, and Lady Airlia would use her time-space powers to enlarge the ice more so.
The princess, her intended and their friends looked to the battlefield, and also towards the monsters that were duking it out like the legendary titans of old. Anna whispered, "I hope we do win against Hans… because this is one story I REALLY want to tell my children about someday…". Indeed, this seemed to be a story for the ages!
(Author's Notes: So, what do you think? Again, thank you God and Jesus for giving me the drive and conviction to write this story through! Thank you! I really wanted to show that Anna had a brilliant mind on, and not just an energetic spirit and beautiful body. She is imaginative, and it seems that it is paying off here.
Hans's forces battling against the forces of Good, and it seems that he is infuriated that he is being outwit by the princess and queen who caused his downfall years ago. Just wait until next chapter, where the final player comes in to help them out when the ex-prince decides to go into battle personally! Expect a flashback in the next chapter, but it will be surprising! I promise!
Now for the questions: What would your thoughts be after seeing such a ragtag, but impressive force coming to Copenhagen? What would your opinion by everyone, from different nations and such, coming together in such a way in one place? And here is a big one I want to ask you all. It is this; how would YOU plan to utilize the forces and assets you have? Anna's plans are good, but I want to hear on how YOU would handle going into battle against Hans and his army of evil.
R&R, no flames, enjoy and leave long reviews!
