Frozen Lantern
Ch. 8 Fear Within
Dante stares as the three vehicles approach near the ice palace. He clenches his with a bit of anger.
"I told them not to follow us here." He said, before walking back inside the palace. That's when Elsa approaches him with a bit of worried in her face.
"What is it, my love?" she asked the LT. CMD.
"We got company." Dante said.
From outside, the vehicles stop near the entrance, allowing Hans and his men to depart.
"We are not to harm the, but leave Dante to me." Hans said to depart.
The advance forward, weapons drawn out for anything. Back inside the palace, Dante creates binoculars and sees the men approaching, but suddenly, a small hill pops open and out comes Elsa's guardian, Marshwallow. He smiles knowing the large snow man is here to defend Elsa.
"Elsa, your guardian will hold them off as long as he can," Dante said, "Elsa, you still have my father's ring?"
Elsa reaches to her dress and pulls out her necklace with helds the power ring.
"Yes." She said.
"Good. Keep it secret." Dante said before he hears roaring. Then door opens and approaching them were the Duke's men.
"The queen!" One of them said.
"Stay away from me!" Elsa said in fear.
The goon aims his crossbow and prepares to fire at Elsa but gets knocks back by a green fist. Dante stands in front of her, aiming his ring. But of a sudden, he gets blasted back and hits Elsa and they fall to the ground. Dante gets up and sees none other than Hans but then his eyes burst open. He is wearing a Yellow Lantern suit and his power ring in hand.
"Elsa, run! It's Hans! He's a Sinestro!" Dante shouts to Elsa and she makes a run for the top floor of the palace. The two goons see her running.
"Get her! Get her!"
A hand grabs the two goons by Dante, "Get away from her!"
He throws them away near the door. Hans sees an opportunity and attacks the Green Lantern. Dante quickly fires a beam and it goes into a lock.
"Dante Rayner." Hans spoke wickedly.
"You will never get to Elsa." Dante snarled.
Hans then creates an ax while Dante charges at him with a sword and shield. They clash their weapons against each other. Hans attacks first with his ax, but Dante blocks with his shield. The impact nearly throws him off balance. He struggles but manages to hold his ground. Dante then pushes Hans and bashes him in the chest with his shield. He then goes for a thrust, but Hans grabs his hand and headbutts Dante, making him flinch. Dante then creates a small ball and slams into the ground and it creates thick smoke. Han backs away before the smoke clears. When is clears, Dante had vanish.
"Run, like the coward you are." Hans said.
Dante makes to the top where Elsa is defending herelf from the Duke's goons. Earlier, they manage to slip past Dante while he was distracted. Elsa manage to trap booth of them by her ice powers. Dante lands next to her but then all of a sudden he starts to get dizzy.
"Dante, what's wrong?' Elsa asked him.
"Elsa! Don't' be the monster they say you are!" Hans said as he arrives.
Elsa calms down after nearly taking someone's life from her anger. Then one of the goons aims his crossbow at Elsa but at the last second, Hans pushes the crossbow up and it fires. The arrow flies and it cuts the chain which holds on the chandelier. It falls but Elsa runs before it crashes into the floor. The blast and shrapnel hits Elsa in the head, knocking her out cold. Dante sees that and goes to her.
"Elsa!" He said in horror. Then Hans' men then arrives and picks her up and take her away. Then Hans arrives, "You are going to regret this, Hans."
"We do not want to harm the queen. We have to bring her back." He said with a fake emotion.
"Whatever you want with her, forget it!" Dante said before he feels dizziness. "Gah. What's happening?"
Hans then slowly approaches him, "Oh Dante, you have no idea what is really happening."
"What do you mean?" Dante asked.
"You see the yellowness around you?" Hans said looking around the room, "Elsa's fear is what draining your power and gaining me more."
Dante struggles to take on Hans but due to the fear around, he stood no chance against him. That's when Hans creates a fist and gives him a powerful right hook across the face and he gets thrown across the floor and into the wall. Hans then grabs Dante and lifts him up.
"Why are you doing this?" Dante asked.
"Is what I want all this time; to rule an empire." Hans said. "As 13th in line, I watched on as my older brothers get what they want. I could't wait anymore. So I invited myself to the coordination knowing that one day I will be able to rule."
"You really think that you can sneak yourself to Arendelle so you could get close to Elsa and Anna?" Dante asked, "I say you're nothing more than a complete nut job!"
"Oppose me all you want, Dante, but that will not stop me from claiming the throne." Hans said.
"Not if Anna has something to say about it." Dante opposed.
"Anna? That girl? Ha! She really thinks that she could marry me? Well she is a fool. As Elsa would say: You can't marry someone if you already met."
"So you're calling Anna a liar?! She will stop you!" Dante struggles, but nothing happens.
"I will rule and there is nothing you can do about it. Give my thanks to Sinestro." Hans said.
"I will get you for this!" Dante shouts before he gets tossed in the air and gets blasted by Hans through the railing of the balcony and he falls into the deep pit where Marshmallow fell.
After placing Elsa inside the vehicle, Hans climbs in the passenger side.
"My lord, the Green Lantern is taken care of." He said to his ring.
"Well done. Proceed with the second stage." Sinestro said.
Hans smirks as the vehicles leave the ice palace, returning towards Arendelle.
