[Three years later...]
Dawn has arrived in Arendelle. Everyone is excited that Elsa is about to be crown queen. Dante was a bit excited too because his promotion of the Arendelle Royal Guard. 15 years after ice incident, Dante had joined the Royal Guard to keep the Royal Family safe. During his days in the military, Dante was tough with sword fighting and gun shooting. It is the 21ts Century but the government here in Arendelle is Monarchy.
Outside the kingdom, a bunch of ships and a few cars had reached the outside area. The military is on alert for any threats. A few tanks patrol the streets and the outskirts of Arendelle, the air force launches several fighters to patrol the skies, and the navy ship patrol the fjord and the ocean.
"Welcome to Arendelle!" The dock master said.
A boy tries to get away as his mother tries to stuff him in his bunad jacket, "Why do I have to wear this?
"Because the Queen has come of age." His mother said trying to get to him "It's Coronation Day!"
"That's not my fault."
"I can't believe they're finally opening up the gates!" Persi said with excitement.
"And for a whole day! Faster, Persi!" Aggie shouted.
They pass a tiny but menacing Duke, who wears taps on his shoes to "enhance" his presence. Two thug guards follow close behind him, "Ah, Arendelle, our most mysterious trade partner. Open those gates so I may unlock your secrets and exploit your riches." The guest around him stop and they turn to him "Did I just say that out loud?"
"Hey, didn't you guys here? That adopted boy who was guarding the princess is now in the honor guard."
"What a guy who protects Elsa."
Meanwhile at the castle courtyard, Dante and the platoon are gathering by Captain Alvis of the Royal Guard. Alvis was recently promoted three years ago by his formal captain, Saxon. After his death, Alvis took his place. The soldiers wear black uniform with black boots and a hat. Each soldier carries a sword.
"Platoon! Attention!" Captain Alvis shouted. The platoon goes to attention. Captain Alvis and a soldier carrying a medal walk to them. "Men, today is the day that we will have a new queen to follow. Ever since the king and queen's death, we knew we keep the kingdom safe until Arendelle needed a new leader. Dante Rayner, front and center."
Dante walks towards Captain Alvis and salutes to him, "Yes, sir."
"Dante Rayner, congratulations. Because of your service and your duty for her majesty Elsa, you are officially promoted to Lieutenant Commander of the Royal Guard." Captain Alvis said to him.
"Thank you, sir."
The solider then places the medal on Dante's uniform. Then Alvis salutes to Dante who salutes back to him. He then walks back to the platoon and faces the captain.
"Now men. We shall all be preparing in one hour for the coronation." Captain Alvis said. "Dismissed!"
"Yes sir!" The soldier and Dante said to the captain before they return to their barracks.
"Dante, you shall be prepared too." Captain Alvis said. "Elsa will be impressed to see you, again."
"Yes sir. It has been three years out of the castle." Dante said. The soldiers head off to prepare themselves for the Coronation while Dante heads back inside the castle to change for the party. Dante is around 22 years old and he has medium built due to training. Dante looks at the castle knowing a familiar person is preparing to be crown queen.
At the library, Elsa who is now 21, watches through the window as the guests are arriving. She is worried about her powers.
DON'T LET THEM IN.
DON'T LET THEM SEE.
BE THE GOOD GIRL
YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO BE.
Elsa moves to a painting of her father's coronation. She takes off her gloves and mimics the painting by holding a candlestick and ornament in place of an orb and scepter.
CONCEAL. DON'T FEEL.
PUT ON A SHOW.
MAKE ONE WRONG MOVE
AND EVERYONE WILL KNOW.
The candlestick and the ornament begin to freeze over. Elsa gasps and slams them back down onto the table. She tries to reassure herself.
BUT IT'S ONLY FOR TODAY.
IT'S AGNOY TO WAIT
TELL THE GUARD TO OPEN UP THE GATES
DON'T LET THEM IN
DON'T LET THEM SEE
BE THE GOOD GIRL YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO BE
CONCEAL, DON'T FEEL CONCEAL DON'T FEEL
After she finishes singing, Elsa prepares herself for the event. She then looks and sees Dante's father's ring. When she was young, Elsa had been given the ring for safe keeping. She picks it up and sighs before she puts it down and prepares herself.
Meanwhile in Dante's room, Dante prepares for the coronation. He's in the bathroom shaving to get rid of the beard. Once the beard is gone, he looks himself in the mirror. He is preparing for the biggest day of his life. He takes his hat and walks to the window to look up in the sky. Ever since his father died, Dante promises himself that he will protect anyone from danger.
"Dad, I will make you proud. No fear will harm her." Dante said quietly.
Dante walks from the window and changes into his officer uniform. After adjusting his garrison hat, Dante heads for the church for the coordination.
At the church everyone including the Royal Guard and Dante are waiting for Elsa. Anna was waiting for her sister as well. She sees Dante and waves. Dante looks and salutes back at her. Just then the doors open and sees Elsa walking through the across chapel and towards the alter.
"Attention!" Captain Alvis said.
The soldiers and Lt Cmdr. Rayner stood in attention. Elsa then walks by the line of soldiers. At the end of the line was Dante. She turns her face and smiles at him. Dante mouths "You'll do fine." Once Elsa reaches to the alter, she kneels down and the bishop places the crown on her head. She then rises and sees the scepter and the orb on the pillow. She slowly reaches for them when the bishop sees Elsa with her gloves on.
"Your Majesty. The gloves." The bishop whispered.
Elsa hesitates. She breathes nervously, removes her gloves, and places them on the pillow. Her hands shake. She takes the orb and scepter and then turns to the people. The bishop begins speaking in Old Norse. While the bishop prays, the items in Elsa's hands begin to freeze over. She tries to keep the items from being showed to the public. The praying is done and the bishop declares.
"Queen Elsa of Arendelle." Bishop said.
"Queen Elsa of Arendelle."
The people applause while the soldiers and Lt. Rayner salute to the queen. Just in time, Elsa manages to set the orb and scepter back down on the pillow before anyone notices the ice. She picks up her gloves and slips them on. She made it.
[Later...]
Later on that night, the party has just begun. There are music playing, people who are chattering or eating, some people dancing. The soldiers are either chattering with each other or with guests. Some of them arrived from England, France, Germany, Spain, and even the United States. Dante was on alert with his hand on the hilt of his sword.
"Hey Dante!"
Dante turns and sees a few cadets: A British SAS Officer, a French Royal Guard and a United States Marine officer.
"Care for a drink?" The US Marine, Sgt. Tomas Johnson said to Dante.
"Sure." Dante said. He walks to the trio and they offer him some Champaign.
"Here's to you, Dante our Norwegian friend." Lt. Bonapart said.
The boys clink their glass and drink up. Dante looks at the others who decided to take another swing.
"So, Dante, how is the new Queen?" asked Tomas.
"Fine, Tom." Dante replied. "It's just that Elsa is now the new ruler and she still needs to be protected."
"That's when you come in, mate." Sgt. Burns of the SAS said. "You have been guarding her ever since you first meet her. Have you confessed your feelings for her?"
Just as Dante was about to answer, the trumpets blared and everyone turn their attention to the throne. Kai arrives and announces to the guests. The soldiers form up and stand in attention including Dante.
"Queen Elsa of Arendelle!" Kai said to the crowd.
Elsa arrives first in her dress with a cape. Dante was amazed about the new queen.
"And Princess Anna of Arendelle!"
Then Anna arrives who waves awkwardly to the crowd. As soon as they were together, the servants speak.
"All hail the Queen and Princess!"
"All hail the Queen and Princess."
Dante and the soldiers saluted to the rulers while the guests bow to them. Then the party resumes and Dante sees the sister talking to each other.
"Hi." Elsa spoke first as she looks at the party.
"Hi me? Oh. Hi." Anna said.
"You look beautiful."
"Thank you. You look beautifuller." Anna said before she got bit stuttered. "I mean, not fuller. You don't look fuller, but more beautiful."
"Thank you." Elsa said. They look at the celebration. Everyone has having a good time.
"Who this is what a party looks like?" Elsa asks.
"It's warmer than I thought." Anna said.
"And what is that amazing smell?"
They close their eyes and inhale. "Chocolate..."
They open their eyes and giggled. Then Elsa sees Lt-Cmdr. Dante chattering with his Captain. She sighs with passion. She really likes Dante and she wants to be with him.
"Hey you should bring Dante over." Anna said to her sister who caught her attention.
"What?" Elsa asks.
"Come on, Elsa. You should ask him to dance with you." Anna said.
Dante was chattering with the three officers when Captain Alvis arrived, "Lt. Cmdr. Rayner, you should ask the Queen to dance."
"I'm sorry what?" Dante asked in confusion.
Captain Alvis then places his arm on Dante's shoulder. "Come on, son. This is the moment you have been dreamed of. Get this: Dante Rayner, my soldier, has his first dance with the queen."
"What if she does not want to dance?"
"She will."
"You pervert!"
SMACK
Dante and Alvis turn to see a woman and Pvt. Bonapart. The woman slapped him before she turns and leaves. The French then speaks in his language knowing she likes him.
"I can't dance, Anna." Elsa said.
"I bet he can." Anna said.
Just then Captain Alvis arrives with Lt-Cmdr. Rayner. He salutes to Anna and Elsa who awkwardly saluted back to him, "Your Majesty, allow me to introduce to my new second-in-command of the Royal Guard, Lt-Cmdr. Dante Rayner."
Dante walks in and salutes to Elsa and Anna. Elsa smiles before she turns to Alvis.
"You may go, Captain. I wish to speak with Lt. Rayner." Elsa said.
"Yes, milady," Alvis turns and heads back to the guests, leaving Dante with Elsa and Anna.
"How are you, Dante?" Elsa asks.
"I'm doing fine. I'm glad to see you as my new queen." Dante said which Elsa smiled a bit.
"How is it now that you are in command of the guard?" Anna asks.
"Incredible. We learn the coldness of Norway and the combat advantages in warfare." Dante said.
"I'm sorry that you have to join." Elsa said sadly.
"It's okay." Dante said.
Just then Kai arrives with the Duke, "Your Majesty. The Duke of Weaseltown."
The Duke who gets a bit mad at Kai about his home town name. "Weselton! The Duke of Weselton!" He then calms down and straightens up. "Ahem. Your Majesty, as your closest partner in trade, it seems only fitting that I offer you your first dance as queen."
The Duke does a funny flitter of his feet, a hitch-kick, and a deep bow. As he holds out his hand, head down, his toupee dips forward. Anna giggles. Elsa looks at Anna, stifles a giggle herself. Dante snickers about him as he pulls his toupee back.
"Thank you, but I don't dance. But my sister does." Elsa referred to Anna.
"What?" Anna said.
"Lucky you?" Duke asks offering a hand.
"I don't think-" The duke grabs Anna's and pulls her to the dance floor.
"Sorry." Elsa said as Anna is taken.
Captain Alvis then reaches to the small music band and whispers to them. The leader nods and the band ready theirs instruments. They begin playing a slow music and Dante and Elsa hear it.
"Do you want to dance, Elsa?" Dante asks.
"I can't." Elsa said before she feels her hand touched by Dante.
"I'll guide you." Dante said.
They reach to an opening on the floor. They wrap their arms around each other and a slow music begins playing. They do not take their eyes off of each other. Dante carefully moves his feet so he can't step on Elsa's foot.
"This is your first time, Elsa?" Dante asks.
"My first dance with a Royal Guard." Elsa said.
Dante spins her 2 times and they dance. They move back with their hands connected and they move back together. Elsa and Dante's heart begin picking up speed knowing they are beginning to feel love within. That's when the music comes to an end. The guests applauded at Elsa and Dante's performance. They bow at the guests and the party resumes once more.
"Thank you, Dante." Elsa said.
"No, Elsa. Thank you." Dante said.
As the party goes on, Anna returns to Elsa and Dante limping from her dance with the Duke.
"Let me know if you ready for another round, Milady." The Duke said.
"Well, he was sprightly." Elsa said.
"Especially for a man in heels." Anna said, rubbing her foot.
"Yeah." Dante said.
"Are you okay?" Elsa said.
"I've never been better." Anna said. "This is so nice. I wish it could be like this all the time."
"Me too..." Elsa said. But then she catches herself. She stiffens up, looks away. "But it can't."
"Why not? If-" Anna said.
"It just can't." Elsa said sadly.
Anna's smile then drops trying not to get all emotional, "Excuse me for a minute."
She then takes her leave and Dante walks to Elsa who is sad.
"You okay?" He asks.
"Dante, what am I going to do? I want this to be everyday but it can't." Elsa said all worried.
"I know, Elsa, but your powers are the problem. You must learn to be brave." Dante said trying to comfort the queen.
"I'm a bit scared." Elsa said.
"It's okay. The light is your shield. Now come let's take a walk." Dante said offering a hand.
"Sure." Elsa said, taking his hand.
They head for the castle garden walking slowly. It is a beautiful evening and the moon is behind the clouds. They talked about the Green Lanterns and the other emotions.
"So your dad was one the greatest Green Lanterns of all time?" Elsa asks.
"Yes he was. He and his friend Hal Jordan went off on missions to protect the universe from threats." Dante said.
"So this fear. Why is it an emotion?" Elsa asks.
"Sinestro created his own lantern corps known as the Sinestro Corps. The yellow lanterns who are fueled by fear." Dante explained.
"Can you tell me about Sinestro?"
"Sure."
Dante looks around to see if anyone else is watching them. He then pulls out his ring and constructs a soft bench. They sit down and Dante explains to her about Thaal Sinestro, "Sinestro is one of the greatest Green Lanterns of the entire Corps. He, along with Hal Jordan and the Corps fight the Red Lanterns who blamed the Guardians for sending the Manhunters to wipe their Sector."
"Wow. So what happen to him?" Elsa said.
"Just a few weeks after the Red Lanterns were defeated; Hal discovered that Thaal overdressed his world with an iron fist. He was arrested and charge for treason. For that he was stripped from the corps and banished from Oa never to return. He said that they will fear him. And so the yellow ring he got transform him into the first Yellow Lantern forming now known as the Sinestro Corps."
"That was a good story, but he was no killer." Elsa said.
"Fear is a killer. What fear destroy, we can recreate it." Dante said.
"Listen, Dante. There's something I want to tell you."
"What is it?"
Elsa then took his hands, "When we first met, I look at you as if you are into me. We both have powers despite the difference. You are my knight in shining armor. You were there for me when I was alone. I know that you are the one for me. I want to be with you until the end."
"What are you saying?" Dante asked.
"Dante Rayner... I love you." Elsa declared.
Dante looks into Elsa's eyes. He was told that Elsa has feeling for him ever since childhood. "Elsa..."
Elsa leans in and places a hand on Dante's cheek. They lean in closer and ready their lips. They are inches away until the moon shines out and then a blue shines inside Dante's uniform. Elsa looks down and gasps.
"Dante."
Dante pulls out the light and sees that Elsa's necklace has glowed, "Your necklace."
Elsa looks at the moon and then the necklace. "It is true."
The necklace then dies down as some clouds cover the moon.
"We should go back inside." Dante said.
They got up from the bench and head back inside the ballroom. Then Anna arrives with a man with sideburns.
"Elsa! I mean...Queen... and Lt. Cmdr. Rayner. Me again. Um. May I present Prince Hans of the Southern Isles."
"Your majesty." Hans said while bowing.
Dante then notices a ring in his middle finger of his right hand. He winches his eyes but then looks at him and Anna.
"Your majesty, Anna would like to say something." Hans said.
"We would like-"
"-your blessing-"
"-of-"
And at the same time they say the final word, "Marriage!"
"Marriage?" Elsa asked.
"Excuse me?" Dante asked.
"Yes." Anna replied.
"I'm sorry. I'm confused." Elsa said.
"Well, we haven't worked out all the details ourselves." Anna said. "We'll need a few days to plan the ceremony. Of course we'll have soup, roast, and ice cream and then- Wait. Would we live here?"
"Here?"
"Absolutely!"
"Wait a minute, Anna! Are you nuts?!" Dante argued.
"Anna-" Elsa tried speak to her sister only to be interrupted.
"Oh, we can invite all twelve of your brothers to stay with us-"Anna said to Hans.
"What? No, no, no, no, no." Elsa pleaded.
"Of course we have the room. I don't know. Some of them must—"
Dante then had enough, "Anna, stop it. Just stop for God's sakes."
Anna then stops talking.
"No one's brothers are staying here. No one is getting married." Elsa said.
"Wait. What?" Anna asked in confusion.
"You don't even know this person anyway, Anna." Dante said crossing his arms.
"Excuse me, Dante." Elsa said to Dante before she turns to Anna "Anna, may I have a word with you alone?"
"No. Whatever you have to say, you can say to both of us." Anna said holding Hans' arm.
"Fine. You can't marry a man you just met." Elsa said.
"You can if it's true love." Anna argued.
"Anna, what do you know about true love?" Elsa asked.
"More than you. All you know is how to shut people out." Anna shouted.
"Anna, how could you say that to your sister?!" Dante yelled. "She would never do such a thing."
As they argued, the guests including the soldiers stop what they're doing and turn to the three people.
"You asked for my blessing, but my answer is no. Now, excuse me." Elsa said and takes her leave.
"Your Majesty. If may I ease your-" Hans speaks
"No, you may not. And I think you need to leave." Elsa reaches to Dante and the Captain. "Captain Alvis, the party is over. Order your troops to close the gates."
"Yes, milady." Captain Alvis said and contacts his troops. "All units seal the gates."
"Dante, please escort me to my room." Elsa said to Dante.
"Yes, mam." Dante replied. He takes the Queen's hand and they leave.
"Elsa, no. No, wait!" Anna grabs Elsa's hand. She pulls off Elsa's glove. Elsa gasps, spins around and reaches for the glove in panic.
"Give me my glove!" Elsa said in panic.
"Elsa, please. Please. I can't live like this anymore." Anna said, refusing to give it back.
"Anna, it's over!
Elsa tries to hold back her tears. "...Then leave."
"What do I ever do to you?"
"Enough, Anna."
"No. Why? Why do you shut me out?!"
"Anna, stop!" Dante shouts.
"Why do you shut the world out?! What are you so afraid of?!" Anna said.
Elsa has enough of Anna asking, "I said, ENOUGH!"
Ice shoots from Elsa's hand, spikes across the floor! Guests cry out in shock, back away. The soldiers scramble in alert.
"Get back!" Dante shouts.
"Your majesty!" Captain Alvis shouts.
The duke sees the ice from behind his goons, "Sorcery! I knew there was something dubious going on here."
Dante sees the spikes too. Elsa backs off and sees Dante.
"I'm sorry, Dante." She makes a run for it.
"Elsa, come back!" Dante shouts. He turns to Anna and gets mad, "You see what you have done? I hope you're happy, Anna! This was supposed to be perfect until you ruined it!"
Dante goes after Elsa. He quickly pulls out his ring and puts it on. He transforms into his Green Lantern form.
Outside Elsa bursts out the castle doors. The citizens cheer for her, but Elsa is frightened.
"There she is!"
"Your majesty!"
"Long live the Queen!"
"Queen Elsa... Come drink with us!"
Elsa runs and ducks through the crowd holding her bare hand. A couple with a baby bows to her.
"Queen Elsa."
"Your majesty, are you alright?"
Elsa backs away from the baby. She knocks into the fountain and grabs its edge. The waters freeze at her touch. Gasps of shock and fear swept over the crowd.
The Duke and thugs come out the door, "There she is! Stop her!"
"Elsa!"
Dante then lands next to Elsa in his Green Lantern uniform and creates a sword and shield to protect her. Everyone gasps to see this man in a green uniform.
"Please, just stay away from me! Stay away!" Elsa shouted.
She accidentally shoots from her hand and turns the staircase into ice. The thugs and the Duke slipped and fall.
"Monster! Monster!" The Duke shouted.
"Sir, keep the crowd away from the Queen!" Dante shouted to Captain Alvis.
"Yes, Dante!" Captain Alvis said. Soon, the troops arrived and they block the crowd from the queen as she flees.
As the crowd panics, a snowstorm is approaching and Elsa flees for safety. Anna along with Hans arrives carrying the other glove she took from Elsa, "Elsa!"
The troops hold the crowd while Elsa runs out the gates and into fjord. Her powers freeze the water as she steps on it. The water freezes instantly. She breaks into a run, as the water freezes over with each step.
"Elsa, stop!" Anna rushes out onto the fjord ice, but she slips and falls.
"Anna!" Hans shouted. He rushes to Anna's side. Elsa reaches the far shore. She doesn't look back. She just scrambles into the mountains. Anna recovers and sees Elsa but she is gone.
"No."
"Look. The fjord." Hans said.
The ice spreads out until the entire fjord is frozen, locking the ships in place. The snow falls down and Hans and Anna rush through the panic crowd.
"Snow?"
"It's snow in July."
"Are you alright?" Hans asks Anna.
"No." Anna said.
"Did you know?"
"No."
From behind the thugs, the Duke sees snow falling, "Look! It's snowing! It's snowing! The Queen has cursed this land! She must be stopped! You have to go after her."
Anna rushes up to the Duke along with Dante, "Wait, no!"
The Duke hides behind his thugs and points out at Anna, "You! Is there sorcery in you, too? Are you a monster, too?"
"No! I'm not. And Elsa is not a monster!" Anna shouted.
"That's right she is in the best way." Hans said.
"What about you?" Duke turns to Dante who is now the Green Lantern. "You possessed sorcery to? Are you a monster like the queen?"
"I'm no monster you filthy miscreant!" Dante shouts. "You are! And in case you did not know, I'm a Green Lantern. A soldier who protects people and that person never harms people!"
"And my sister's not a monster." Anna said.
"She nearly killed me." Duke shouted.
"You slipped on ice." Hans said.
"Her ice!"
"It was an accident." Anna said. "She was scared. She didn't mean it. She didn't mean any of this... Tonight was my fault. I pushed her. So I'm the one that needs to go after her."
"No, Anna." Dante said to Anna "Ever since the accident, your father ordered me to protect Elsa. I will not let fear take over her." He then floats in the air to get everyone's attention. "Now listen up, everyone. I will fly out and find Elsa. Don't even think about following me because if you do, you and I will have a problem. And you Duke, do me one thing."
"And what is that?" Duke asks as Dante flies close to him.
"Stay the hell away from her" Dante said coldly. He floats up into the air and flies for the mountains to find Elsa.
"Bring me my horse." Anna said.
"Anna, no. It's too dangerous." Hans said.
"Elsa is not dangerous. Dante and I will bring her back and I'll make things right."
The Royal Handler brings Anna her horse and a cloak.
"I'm coming with you." Hans said.
"No. I need you here to take care of Arendelle."
"On my honor."
She throws on the cloak and hops right onto the horse, coronation dress and all.
"I leave prince Hans in charge!" Anna declared.
"Are you sure you can trust her? I don't want you getting hurt."
"She's my sister and she will never hurt me."
Anna snaps the reigns and rides out to find Elsa.
As Hans sees Anna left the kingdom. He raises his fist and in his hand was his Yellow Ring, "The plan is in motion, Sinestro. Shall I take out the Green Lantern?"
"No. Wait until the time is right. Soon you will have what you want."
"Considerate done, Sinestro."
The communication is terminated and Hans looks out with the fjord with an evil look on his face, "Soon, Green Lantern, you shall be terminated like your father along with Elsa and the kingdom shall be mine."
Uh-oh. Looks like Hans is a member of the Sinestro Corps. Will Dante ever have a chance to stop him? Read and Review!
