As the light shined on her domain she decided she was done.
"Boy did I fail deep. Well, maybe I'll try again in another thousand years. I'm not sticking around to see how this ends. Mr. Fox, please roll me someplace safe."
With that she conjured a sphere of ice around her, content to spend the next thousands of years sleeping.
Only when she did something happened.
She was supposed to just dream…and instead she fell.
"Now what is going on?"
She held up her hand and was stunned to see it becoming…normal.
"What the jam?!"
The Ice was leaving her.
"Hey, you can't leave me! I am you!"
Beneath her appeared a great light that she fell into and she let out a scream.

Shortly After the defeat of Billiam Milliam
"I am grateful for letting us take this crown off your hands, Mr. Petrikov." Major Glory said, sitting down in the living room of the Petrikov home.
"It is no trouble at all. I think it's better in your hands." Simon said, sharing tea with the hero. "After seeing what it could do in the hands of someone like Billiam I believe it is best kept hidden away."
"In any case, Miss Spell will have a look over it." Major Glory said, holding up the bag the crown was placed in. "She can determine its mystical properties."
"Hopefully it can't be used to hurt anyone ever again." Simon nodded in agreement.
"Excuse me?"
Both men stood up, watching as a woman entered. "My name is Patience St. Pim. I'm from the Institute of studying mystical artifacts. I came here about the crown."
"Ah, Miss Patience." Glory held out the bag. "Thank you for taking this off Mr. Petrkov's hand. Miss Spell sent for you?"
"Yes but I was on my way to speak with Simon about the crown anyways." Patience answered, smiling at Simon. "It's good to see you are back, Simon. I was hoping to go over any notes you have made about the crown."
"They are all in the bag." Simon said, sipping his tea. "I believe it's better for my family if that crown is out of our sight."
"Don't worry. We'll make sure nothing bad comes from it." Patience said, bidding Major Glory and Simon a good day before leaving.
Once she was back on the streets, she opened the back and stared down at the crown. "Finally…After all these years, Ice will be mine again."
She remembered waking up in this new reality, time having been changed for some crazy reason…
And the power of Ice taken from her.
Her power, the power that made her unique and better than everyone taken from her just because she was smarter.
Well, she had no intention simply lying down and taking this humiliation without a fight.
So she got into university, studied this new world and found her big break in the Crown. The one created by the original Ice Elemental himself. If it could transform some old man into a complete copy of the Ice Elemental than it could easily restore her powers. So she waited and plotted, making sure to build her reputation so she would be someone to be trusted until she had what she needed. When the Crown was captured from that golden nut she knew this would be her chance.
She volunteered to retrieve the Crown and the head of the science institute she worked at saw no reason to turn her down.
After all, she was a humble professor in archaeology.
Of course now that she had the Crown she was free to discard the role she had played, no longer needing it.
She was now ready become who she was always meant to be.
Xxx
Several Weeks Later
After she had gained the crown she had immediately chartered a flight to North Pole, gathering supplies and left a note, turning in her resignation at the university she had been working. She emptied her bank account and made sure not to leave a trail for anyone to follow once word had reached Sebben that the crown had never reached the institute. She trekked through the icy cold wasteland that not even the Grimm would dare to tread.
In other words the perfect place for her to begin her plan.
She reached an icy cave, entering it and did not stop until she was deep enough that no light would reach her.
"Took me a while but finally I can take back what is mind." She muttered to herself. "And in the nick of time, I hate not being immune to the cold."
That was a real problem being out here in the middle of nowhere with nothing but ice, snow and below freezing temperatures.
If not for the fact she was sure this would work she calculated it was very likely she would freeze to death in a matter of days.
"Now then…" She reached into her bag and pulled out the golden crown. "Come to Patience."
She placed it on her head and took a deep breath.
"At long last, I'll regain the powers that rightfully belong to me." She said with a smile. "I wish to become the Ice Elemental once again."
She felt a surge of power within her, followed by pure cold that shot through her being. She cried out as her skin turned blue, dark hair turning white as the hair band used to keep it in a bun froze and shattered into icy dust, allowing the hair to fall down her back. Her glasses and her eyes became like crystals and began to shine like diamonds. Snow and ice surrounded her and spread out; changing the cavern she was in as she let out a scream.
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
The icy caverns changed and grew, becoming a giant castle made entirely of ice that stretched up into the sky, pushing away the clouds and allowing for the northern lights to be seen but while they could be seen from the castle dark clouds began to grow and expand in all directions.
Xxx
"Hm?"
In a lab that was located in another part of the North Pole a pair of eyes looked through a telescope, seeing dark clouds gathering.
"Well that can't be good. It's almost like a gigantic blizzard is forming in the center of the North Pole."
The eyes belonged to a large man with what appeared to be a turtle shell attached to his back. He wore a white lab coat with white shoes. He was balding with orange hair on the side and an orange goatee.
"Better get ready for this. Luckily no blizzard is a match for me: Professor XXXL!" The man said dramatically, his voice echoing through his lab. "…But first, I need to get me a nice hot bowl of soup! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"
While he probably wasn't a bad man it was debatable if he was in fact a sane one.

"Captain Gantu, I'm afraid I come with bad news. You have trouble coming your way."
Captain Gantu quickly bowed before the image of the Grand Councilwoman. "My crew is well prepared for any danger, Councilwoman."
"Dr. Jumba has been captured and sentenced to life in prison." The galactic leader started.
"That's good news." Gantu quickly said, glad to hear something good happening for once.
"However one his genetic experiments that he has labelled Experiment 626 has escaped in a police cruiser." The woman continued, her tone becoming dire.
"That's bad news." Gantu said, dreading the idea of that lunatic's creations wondering the universe.
"Fortunately we are tracking him."
"That's good."
"He is approaching quadrant 51, Earth. Where you are."
"That's bad." Gantu said, shuddering slightly.
"As you know, Earth is designated off limits by the rest of the grand council due to it being a protected wildlife reserve for the mosquitoes and because of the dangers that exist on that planet. If 626 manages to reach that planet we might not able to capture it and prevent it from wreaking destruction on the inhabitants." The Councilwoman continued, not even blinking to Gantu's continued obvious observations. "I am sending you an agent who has knowledge of the planet."
"That's good."
"And with the only expert on 6-2-6: Dr. Jumba."
Gantu sputtered for a second. "That's…"
"Yes?" The Grand Councilwoman raised an eyebrow.
"That's…good news, Councilwoman." Gantu cleared his throat. "We will await their arrival."
"Be sure to hurry, Captain Gantu. The longer 6-2-6 is on the loose the more dangerous it might become."
"Understood." Gantu nodded as the transmission ended and let out a big sigh. "Anything else?"
A klaxon alarm answered his question.
"Wonderful…"
Xxx
"Captain Gantu, we have a situation!"
"Report!" Gantu barked as he walked onto the bridge.
"Sensors are detecting something large leaving the Earth's atmosphere. It was in the center of a large storm pattern. "
"On screen." Gantu immediately ordered.
The view screen showed the Earth with a large dark cloud gathering over the continent known as America.
And Gantu could see something coming up from the center of it. "Magnify."
The officer at the sensor station did so, allowing Gantu a closer look at the object that left the planet's atmosphere.
When he saw what it was he gasped and his eyes widened. "By the Core…"
It appeared to be a Grimm but it was unlike anything he had seen in the database. It was massive, over five hundred feet tall with giant red bat like wings, two tails with bone like spiked clubs at the end, eight long necks with red scales traveling down to the main torso, eight dragon like faces with bone like armor resembling masks above their mouths which held razor sharp teeth.
"Captain, it's on a direct intercept course with us!" The tactical officer reported urgently.
"Raise particle barrier! Arm weapons! Prepare for evasive action!" Gantu barked immediately. "Send word to the council that a Grimm has left Earth!"
"Captain, the communications are being jammed. A massive electromagnetic field is coming from the creature and it's jamming our transmissions!" The communications officer reported, struggling to contact the Stellar Alliance for help…
Or to warn them before they were destroyed.
Gantu looked at the main screen as the eight headed monstrosity opened its mouth and eight beams of pure lightning that shot straight at the ship,
"EVASIVE ACTION!"
The ship managed to dodge all but one blast, slamming right into the shields. The impact of the force sent the ship spinning as the shields buckled and fell with the crew thrown about as consoles short circuited or exploded.
"Emergency Hyperspace Jump!" Gantu shouted, holding onto his command chair.
"Sir that would-"
"DO IT!"
The ship spun around and jumped to hyperspace as the eight headed Grimm fired another blast….
Missing it by mere inches.
As this happened a pod fell to the Earth, ignored by the beast as it flew back into the center of dark storm forming over the Darklands.
Xxx
A pod washed up on the beach and out of it crawled a strange blue furry creature with four arms, big ears and sharp teeth…

Opening File: The Crown
The Crown of the Ice Elemental is an ancient and powerful artifact, forged from gold and given three red rubies as the source of its powers. The crown was created by the ice elemental named Urgence Evergreen during the Connected Era in an attempt to stop the deadly Lich catalyst comet from destroying life on the Earth by giving its first user his deepest wish. Evergreen slayed the lava dog Magwood for his ruby eyes to use as a power source for the crown. Unfortunately, Evergreen's assistant Gunther was forced to try to use the crown and because his wish was to be like his master Evergreen, it transformed him into Gunther's twisted perception of Evergreen: a man who is constantly firing ice magic and ordering people around.
This resulted in the little dinosaur turning into a miniature version of Evergreen, shouting 'Gunther, no!' This permanently set the crown's powers but experts like Billiam and Patience found a way to protect their minds through magical charms and mind conditioning techniques to prevent their minds from being taken over. The Ice King's crown is shown to possess immense magical properties; it was initially created with phantasmal circuitry to bond with its first wearer and grant their deepest desire: for Gunther's wish, he became like his master Urgence Evergreen and as such whomsoever wore the crown afterwards was bestowed powers over ice and snow.
In addition to ice powers, the crown also give the wearer 'wizard eyes' so that the wearer may see spirits of the Spirit Realm. The crown also seems to alter the user's mental state. Initially, the crown has an addictive effect that creates a desire to wear the crown. However, the danger of using the crown and the subsequent powers it bestows is evident when Billiam became mentally unstable after his machine was damaged during his battle with Dani Phantom. The crown has shown signs of sentience as it reacted to Dani's presence and granted her wish to return all the gold and everything else Billiam stole back to their rightful owners.
It also created a way for her to awaken Aura within herself, allowing her to keep her powers but left her physically altered as half of her dark hair turned white; matching that of her ghost form and one of her blue eyes turned green which also matched her ghost form. Perhaps it was responding to her subconscious wish to be like the warriors who protected humanity from the Grimm and thus the Crown reacted by granting her Aura while still allowing her access to her ghost powers. As of now it is unknown if its power had caused any more changes to her, physically or otherwise. It is suggested that she will awaken a Semblance in addition to having her ghost powers but as of now her ghost powers remain her most known abilities.
It has also been said that the Crown was used in the creation of the first of the Fallen, the one who would become known as Sammael with the Crown's power made to grant him immortality so that he could not die from age, hunger, thirst or any kind of wounds that would instantly heal and regenerate. Not even the Dark Substance that formed the Grimm could destroy but bonded with him, transforming into a true Human-Grimm hybrid that would become known as a Fallen. This wish would lead to birth of other Fallen as well as Sammael would go on to create other hybrids, even though they would not share his immortality they would still be extremely difficult to kill and were capable for living for a long time. Since the Connected Era the Crown was forgotten until it was discovered by an archaeologist named Simon Petrikov and then was stolen by Billiam Milliam to use in his plans to steal all the gold and riches in the world.
After Billiam was defeated the Crown was returned to Simon who then gave it to a colleague named Patience St. Pim who later disappeared with it.
Only Glob knows where it will appear again.

(Intro: Frozen by Within Temptation Starts)
The screen is pitch black as snow begins to fall. A gust of wind with ice and snow picks up, covering the entire screen and showing the title in icy blue letters:
GRIMMFALL: THE ICE QUEEN
I can't feel my senses
A woman's hand is shown, slowly turning icy blue.
I just feel the cold
Snow and ice fall around it.
All colors seem to fade away
The camera points up, showing a frozen land, with nothing but snow and ice.
I can't reach my soul
The woman looks down at her reflection as it shatters.
I would stop running
The scene changes to show a little girl, standing in an icy cave surrounded by statue of pure ice, kneeling with the statues of a man and a woman smiling at her.
If I knew there was a chance
A tear falls down her cheek, instantly turning to ice.
It tears me apart to sacrifice it all
As she looks up, Danielle Fenton appears behind with her back facing her, looking over her shoulder with a worried face.
But I'm forced to let go
She holds up an icy flower…and crushes it.
Tell me I'm frozen but what can I do?
A dark storm appears, spreading over islands in the Caribbean, freezing the beaches.
Can't tell the reasons, I did it for you
Ice spreads across the streets, covering the buildings.
When lies turn into truth, I sacrificed for you
A young girl watches in fear as ice and snow travels up her beloved beach before a blue hand grabs her and pulls her out of sight.
You say that I am frozen but what can I do?
A mirror is shown with the reflection of a woman, Patience wearing the golden crown. Her hair turning white and a blue royal robe replaces her original clothes.
The mirror then immediately shatters, leading to darkness.
I can feel your sorrow
A blue flame appears, followed by the hand of a boy.
You won't forgive me
He looks up and stares in shock as the camera turns around the girl from the icy cave is shown facing him with a look of anger.
But I know, you'll be alright
She rushes at him but Dani Phantom appears in front of her with her arms spread out and a pleading look on her face.
It tears me apart that you will never know
The girl's eyes widened as her claws go right through Dani's chest, seemingly piercing her body.
But I have to let go
A hand reaches out and grabs her, pulling her back.
Tell me I'm frozen but what can I do?
The girl is then shown facing off against Abigail Lincoln, whose eyes blaze with power as she glares.
Can't tell the reasons, I did it for you
A blast of ice and snow slam into them.
When lies turn into truth, I sacrificed for you
Both are buried into snow as a woman dressed like a queen glides her way through the blizzard.
You say that I am frozen but what can I do?
She glares down at Nigel who stares back with slight fear and she lunges at him.
Everything will slip away
Nigel finds himself standing at the top a snowy mountain, icy statues of his friends and family appearing around him.
Shattered pieces will remain
One by one they all break and the Ice Queen appears behind him.
When memories fade into emptiness
She waves her hands, controlling the blizzard wind and directs them at Nigel who covers his face.
Only time will tell its tale, if it all has been in vain
The icy wind engulfs him and he is blasted off the mountain.
I can't feel my senses
The boy is left to fall into the darkness.
I just feel the cold
His skin turns icy blue and his clothes are covered with snow and ice.
Frozen
A hand reaches out to grab his.
What can I do?
Abby is then shown in the middle of blizzard, wearing a winter coat and gloves covering her face with her arms to protect herself from the wind.
Frozen
Just as she is about to fall, three pairs of hands grab her and help her up.
Tell me I'm frozen but what can I do?
The hands belong to Dani Phantom, Lilo and Frosta.
Can't tell the reasons, I did it for you
Together they walk through the blizzard, coming upon an icy fortress.
When lies turn into truth, I sacrificed for you
The doors open and a blast of ice greet them.
You say that I am frozen, Frozen
Inside, the Ice Queen stares at the camera with a demented grin as the screen turns to black, showing the title one more time:
GRIMMFALL: THE ICE QUEEN
