DISCLAIMER: Refer to Chapter Forty-Six's Disclaimer. Ha! I win!

Last time: Hard to forget what happened last time, but I might as well say something anyways. Frost and his clan annihilated the oncoming onslaught of rogues. With Alex's strategy, and the prophet's future-reading abilities, it was an easy win. Yet, Tammy came just in time to see Tess killing all the normal members of Clan Frozenwind. Now, Tess has her cold eyes on killing Tammy. What are Tess' reasons? Find out this chapter…

Frost Chapter IV:

Tess began to advance toward Tammy, who was paralyzed with shock. There was no emotion whatsoever in Tess' face… only the cold eyes of a killer that showed no remorse, whatsoever. Still in her sheikah form, Tess withdrew a kunai, and began swinging it around on her finger. Tammy had no choice but to defend herself. She transformed into her Marth form, and pointed her rapier at Tess.

"Going down fighting? I see how it is…" Tess stated. Tammy couldn't stand still any more. She simply ran at Tess, and made a slash across her arm. Tess smirked slightly, and made an emotionless laugh. "Heh… didn't think that you'd actually attack me…" She stated, wiping the small trickle of blood off her arm. "…But you'll regret doing that." She then said coldly, running into Tammy at a speed so fast that it sent her to the ground, and sent her rapier flying.

When Tammy hit the ground, she put her hands out, and turned it into a backflip of sorts, and retrieved her rapier, all before Tess could even throw a shuriken. "Impressive." Tess stated. "You're not… going to get away with killing those eight… even if I can't defeat you… and you kill me… then my boyfriend will hunt you down to the very ends of the earth, and kill you." Tammy said. Tess smirked. "Let him come. Let them all come… I have something that not even Frost can stand against!" Tess exclaimed. "Really? …Like…what?" Tammy asked. "Can't tell you now, that'd ruin the surprise, wouldn't it? I'm just conducting a little… test… a measurement of power…" Tess explained. Suddenly, she appeared behind Tammy, and thrust a kunai into her back. Blood began to pour out, and she fell to the ground, screaming in pain.

"… You know… it's really hard to survive something like that… I have to give you credit… so I'll make this quick and painless." Tess said, holding up a kunai, and ready to deliver the final blow. "Any last words?" She then asked. "Box….er…." Tammy said weakly. "What?" Tess asked. Suddenly, Boxer sent her flying with his Bowser transformation. He just saw what happened, transformed, and barreled straight into Tess, both knocking her away, and disarming her of her weapon. "Traitor… I'm not going to let you live… especially after hurting my girlfriend." Boxer said through clenched teeth. Tess smirked. "Bring it on, then." She said.

Boxer breathed a huge stream of fire at Tess, who jumped over it, and threw various needles at Boxer, who deflected them with his elbow. "Die!" Boxer then yelled, lunging at Tess, and slashing her with a large and painful swipe of his claw, causing Tess to stumbled back and fall. "Time to die, bitch." Boxer then stated, breathing inwards. Tess could only watch as a huge stream of fire that was her doom came down on her.

Meanwhile, Tammy was slightly better, and was able to get up on her own two feet. A huge cloud of smoke had been kicked up, covering Tess. Boxer then transformed back into his human form, and walked back to Tammy, who was in her human, form, too. "Boxer… you… did… it…" Tammy breathed, falling into his arms. "T-Tammy… are you alright…?" Boxer asked, deeply concerned for his girlfriend. Tammy nodded. "I'll be… fine… but, how do we… explain all of this… to the… Clanmaster…?" She asked. Boxer shrugged. "She never really had any reason behind this, so getting an explanation will be kind of… hard." He said. "…But the first priority is getting you healed. Lean on me, and I'll get you back…" He then added. Tammy smiled, and nodded. "Thanks, Boxer." She said, leaning on his great arm.

From behind them, there was suddenly an emotionless laugh. The two, alarmed, turned around. The smoke had cleared, and not just one, but two figures stood there. One was Tess, as if the attack had never hit her, and the other was a taller figure with even less emotion on his face: Zalthyr.

"W-Who're… you…?" Tammy asked. Zalthyr looked at Tammy. "I am Zalthyr… second-in-Command of the Silver Rogues." He stated. Boxer grimaced. 'Great. We thought that they'd be without generals, and here comes the very second-in-command…' He thought. Then Tess smirked. "You know, you're wrong. I have my reasons for betraying all of you…" She said. "…And what reasons are those?" An angry Tammy asked. "…Love." Tess replied.

Everything was dead silent.

"Love… you…? I thought you were the emotionless one!" Tammy exclaimed. Tess sighed. "Even those who've been stripped of their emotions can't escape love. No matter how you put it, no matter how aloof you may seen from some disastrous event at childhood, for whatever reason… love is the most dominant emotion, and it dictates all… even Tess and I." Zalthyr stated in his usual cold voice.

Boxer looked at Tammy, and she looked back at him. "We know that, as you can see… but it's a bit strange to see you two…" Boxer stated, as Zalthyr raised a hand to silence him. "That's enough. I'm getting sick of you two." He said, transforming into his Fierce Deity-like Link form, while Tess smirked from behind him. Zalthyr moved faster than the speed of light, and dashed at Boxer and Tammy. Before the two could even transform, they lay dead in each other's arms.

"Let's go." Zalthyr said to Tess, who nodded, and followed him to the other side of the island, to the gates. Suddenly, Zalthyr heard Tess scream for help, so he turned around. Johnson was grabbing her from behind, with his blade extremely close to Tess' throat. "I saw the whole thing. Surrender now, or leave." He stated.

Before he could even finish the sentence, Zalthyr's blade had already impaled him in seventeen places. "…Impossible…" Johnson breathed, in awe of Zalthyr's impossibly high speed. Knocked out of transformation, he then fell to the ground in a big and bloody heap.

"Thanks." Tess said, and Zalthyr nodded. "By now, I bet that the Clanmaster and the remaining elites know about this." He stated. "Oh well. We'll kill em." Tess replied. Sure enough, they ran into Mike and Clay. Zalthyr sighed, and pulled out his blade. He disappeared just as bombs were thrown at him, and reappeared on the other side of Mike and Clay. Suddenly, the twins' eyes widened. Fifty bloody slash and stabbing wounds appeared in each of them, and they both fell to the ground, dead.

Now, only one person stood between the two and the city of Demindor. Alexzander Frost, himself. As expected, the entire situation had already gotten to him. He knew that he couldn't take Zalthyr on in a fair fight, but he had a plan. "Turn back, now." Alex said. Zalthyr glared at him. "You know you can't take me on. Face it… you're going to die." He said. Alex shook his head, and transformed into his Mewtwo form. "Mindblower!" He exclaimed. Zalthyr smirked. "You don't have enough power to take over my mind…" He muttered. Then he noticed that Tess attacked him. He had to dodge to the side of a kunai. Zalthyr glared angrily at Alex. "You… asshole." He said. Alex was still holding out his hand, which was glowing blue. "I told you… leave… or else… you'll have to destroy her." He stated. Zalthyr grimaced. "This isn't over." He said, grabbing Tess during her next attack, and warping out of range of the mindblower. Alex then felt his grip on the mindblower loosen, so he transformed back into his human form. Everyone in his clan was now dead. The last survivors were himself, and the one who betrayed them.

Well, that's it. I may write more later, I might not. Reviewing increases odds of me writing later.
