We're back folks!
And it's great to finally watch Frozen II again, now that it's available in streaming. Let's hope Disney Plus hops to it soon. I don't care what anyone says. I love Frozen and i love Frozen II. I will never apologize for it and don't you apologize for feeling the same if you do.
But now getting back to this story. I've made a special callback/reverence to my favorite X-Men movie in this chapter, if anyone can spot it, you'll get a free family set of tickets to Wakanda.
"Or you'll just be given for how smart you are, whichever comes first." Maverick quipped.
Anyhow, let's answer some comments.
Guest: Okay if what your saying is what Elsa says to the White Witch, then you'll see in this chapter. The White Witch is no queen. Or an ice queen. She's just an evil dark tyrant.
"But don't worry, me and my team will have to face a real evil queen after we leave Narnia." Maverick says.
KingdomWarrior125: Hmm you might be on to something. Let's see where this goes.
The Deal.
Back in Aslan's camp….
The guardians met up inside another large tent that was set up for just them. Elsa and Victoria sat around with Aiden on some lounging cushions listening to him explain what the situation is and what they have to do in order to get the last shard of the M'kraan crystal.
"So the Witch has the shard?" Elsa asked.
"Apparently. Aslan said that's how she turns her victims into statues. And not the Renaissance type." Aiden stated.
"Well then, why don't we just track her down, beat the crap out of her and take the shard ourselves?" Victoria suggested.
"Not that simple, not only is she impervious to every known element, magic and she's neon proof. I read up on that part. But in order for their Medieval Matrix prophecy to come to pass, Peter and his siblings have to bring her down." Aiden presumed.
"What?! They can't fight the Witch! They're just children!" Elsa spoke like a defensive mother.
Both Aiden and Victoria gave her a one eyebrow look. Both seem to be offended. Elsa was amused by this, but didn't show it.
"Don't you two give me that look." Elsa scolded them like a mother. "Besides, they don't have any powers or magic to fight back."
"No, but they have an army. Aslan and us. And the deep magic that surrounds Narnia." Aiden stated.
"Deep magic?" J'son asked from the corner.
"It's the mystical power that rules over all of Narnia. It's how we describe our world's light and darkness." Zambron answered for them.
"Right. Look, i know it sounds crazy, but i think this whole scenario is working like David and Goliath except Narnia has four little Davids and the Witch is the drag Goliath." Aiden figured.
"That's not really a clean analogy Aid." Victoria deadpanned.
"But it's a good one, admit it." Aiden said with a grin.
Before she could retort, they all heard a horn blown.
*HORN BLOW*
"What the hell was that?" J'son stood up.
"That was Susan's horn!" Elsa got up looking alarmed. "She's in trouble!"
"Guardians! Role out!" Aiden shifted into Maverick and Victoria shifted into Blaze. Then they all ran out to help her. Of course she's in trouble, but not just her.
Outside toward a stream near camp…...
Susan and Lucy were up in a tree being avoiding Maurgrim and another nine wolves that were with him, trying to claw and bite at the two girls, but they were way too high up in the tree, shrieking in terror.
"GET BACK!" Peter ran toward the wolves and unsheathed his sword, he pointed it at Maurgrim who growled back in frustration.
"Come on! We've already been through this before, we both know you haven't got it in you." Maurgrim barked at him.
"Peter! Watch out!" Susan yelled, seeing that the other nine wolves was trying to circle him. Seeing if he could attack Peter from behind while he got his sword pointed at Maugrim. Just then, a lion roar was heard as Aslan pinned a wolf down like a prey, as it whined like a scared puppy.
Just then Maverick landed and shot two bolts a neon vaporizing two of the wolves. Elsa landed and foze two in place, then Groot came down and shattered them with his fists like glass. Blaze burned two more to ashes. And J'son shot one down with his lazer while Zambron lifted a wolf up and snapped it's neck. Each wolf whining as they got taken out by each guardian. Except for Darkwing Duck who landed in too late.
"What? You didn't leave any for me?" Darkwing whined.
"Chill out Duck there's one left." Blaze referred to Maugrim. But when the guardian's were about to attack the wolf. Maverick held his hand out.
"No guys. Let Peter handle this." Maverick said to his team.
"What?!" Elsa looked appalled.
"But Aiden-" Victoria almost said when some of Alan's troops came running into attack alongside Oreius.
"No! Stay your weapons!" Aslan ordered his troops and looked at the other Guardians. "Aiden is right, this is Peter's battle."
Despite some of them worried for the boy's safety, they obeyed the lion and stood there ground and watched. Peter looked back them, then back at Maugrim who was looking ready to pounce and kill Peter.
"I am Groot." Groot muttered to Maverick.
"Yeah i hope i'm right about this too Pal." Maverick answered back while watching.
"You may think your king. But your going to die….LIKE A DOG!" Maugrim barked and pounced toward Peter. But Maugrim fell on top of the boy. Peter grunt when he got attacked by the wolf.
"PETER!" Both of his sisters screamed. And got off from the tree and ran over to Peter, Maugrim the captain of the secret wolf police, seemed limp and lifeless on top of Peter. So Susan and Lucy pushed the wolf off of Peter as he sat up, showing that he's unharmed. And his sword struck down Maugrim. He seemed both shocked and relieved as everyone else was, including his sisters who both had tears of sweet relief that their brother was okay. They both hugged him and he held them both back.
Maverick nodded and smiled. "What did i tell ya? Huh?" He looked back at his team who were all looking with jaws dropped.
Just then Aslan released the wolf he had pinned down as it ran away in fear.
"Maverick, after him." Aslan said to the armored keyblader. "He'll lead you to Edmund."
Maverick nodded and flew off after the wolf. "Don't wait up for me Guardians!" He said before he zoomed after the wolf.
Once that was done. Aslan addressed Peter. "Peter, clean your sword." He told him.
After doing so, Peter knelt down before the king as Aslan appointed him before the guardians and the army as witnesses.
"Raise." Aslan said as Peter stood. " Sir Peter Wolf's-Bane. Knight of Narnia." Aslan declared as every smiled and nodded in respect to Peter, including Aslan. Peter felt something inside that he never felt before. Pride, as he sheathed his sword, with a new strong heart determined to fulfil his destiny.
Over at the White Witch's camp…..
In the middle of a scout camp that had a small squad of minotaurs and ghouls, goblins, Dwarfs and ogres. All were sharpening blades and preparing other means of weaponry for the battle to come. In the middle of the camp was Edmund, tied to a tree with a cloth gag over his mouth, and several minor bruises on his face. Showing some signs of physical abuse on his face, and regret for his actions before. The dwarf standing there teasing and taunting the bound child was Ginarrbrik. Who was having his way with humiliating Edmund.
"Is our little prince uncomfortable? Does he want his pillow fluffed." Ginarrbrik smirked and he made the boy flinch fearfully as he walked around him. "Special treatment for the special BOY!"
He got up in Edmund's voice making him whimper in fear. "Isn't that, what you wanted?" He chuckled quietly as he reached for his dagger.
Over at a tent just ahead was the White Witch sitting at a table with battle plans as she listened to her General minotaur named Otmin, tell her their strategy for the upcoming battle for the defeat of Narnia's prophesied kings and queens.
"The minotaurs will take the left flank, we'll keep the giants in reserve and send the dwarves in first." Otim stated pointed at a map on the table.
Just then, the same runaway wolf ran right into the camp, and that's when it happened. Time slowed down everywhere to the point where a second became nothing but pause for effect. Literally. As Maverick ran right in at the speed of light, maybe even faster. As He runs around the camp that's completely frozen in time from his perspective. As he has his fun messing things up without any of the bad guys looking.
(Time in a bottle - Jim Croce)
If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
'Til eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you
Music played inside Aiden's suit as he ran as the Maverick striking monsters down with his keyblades, with less effort since all of them are slow and paused. He took a cook pot filled with hot water and placed it over a ogre's head. Then he walked over and took a minotaur's axe and turned it up and sat a dwarf on top of it, before he pointed his finger at the Minotaur shot a neon laser through his head.
Then he went over and lifted several monsters and dwarfs in the air and constructed an ice trampoline with several neon grenades on them. He made an ogre and goblin pose like they were dancing in a ball together, then he froze them in place with ice. Then Maverick ran over around placing last second neon grenades on several other monsters, setting up all kinds of traps and gags to finish off the Witches troops around the camp.
If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then
Again, I would spend them with you
Then Maverick ran over to the White Witch who was still staring at the table listening to the general's battle plan. He gave her a weird look noting that her outfit is ripping off his mother's outfit. Maverick tried shooting neon blasts at her. But that did nothing, he then tried ice blasts. Still nothing. His lightning spell. Nothing. His fire spell. Nothing. Everything else from his keyblades to the kitchen sink, by that i mean he constructed a neon kitchen sink and slammed it into her. Nothing. Maverick even tried pushing her and pulling her. But she wouldn't budge and inch, she was like an unbreakable statue.
Must be the dark magic that protects the White Witch.
So Maverick huffed and instead had a sinister grin as he took out a bottle of glowing spray paint and tagged something on her dress.
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with
Then Maverick went off and ran over to see Edmund with a scared face as Ginarrbrik held a knife to his throat to taunt and mock him. Maverick shook his head, so he reversed their position. He untied Edmund and let him lose, and stood him aside as he tied the dwarf to the tree instead and painted some clown make up on his face and he stole his socks, and replaced them with sandpaper socks.
"Alright Eddy. Can i call you Eddy? Or should i call you 41?" Maverick mimicked a voice from Ben Hur as he asked Edmund who was still frozen in time. As he picked him up and said, "Let blow this popsicle stand, and leave less scary Marilyn Manson to clean her room."
Then Maverick took off in the air with Edmund as time resumed back to normal. Suddenly as just a second past by, one moment Edmund was tied to a tree. The next he found himself up high in the air.
"AH! AAAHH!" Edmund yelled in fear seeing how high he was.
"Easy, don't panic! It's okay." Maverick eased him. "Your just being transferred is all."
Edmund looked to Maverick amazed by his outfit and the fact that he rescued him.
"Who are you?" Edmund asked.
"Just a concerned tourist. I'm with Aslan, and call me Maverick." Maverick grinned as he flew him back to Aslan's camp.
While that happened.
Down below, everything went to chaos. As there were screams everywhere. The dwarf sitting on the axe, screamed in a high pitch voice as he felt his jewels and butt get chopped. The ones on the trampling were screaming in terror. Troops were blowing up everywhere or falling down, some were statues or stuck in an instance gag that took them out.
Otim the general turned in surprise. "The prisoner!"
The White Witch was also staggered, but didn't show it, seeing her troops dead and lying everywhere on the ground. Even some frozen ice statues of her troops. Like one of a dwarf riding a minotaur like a pony. Or an ogre and a minotaur dancing as ballerinas. Or a goblin posed like the Thinker statue, on a toilet.
The Witch even saw blue spray painted letters everywhere. Some were the Maverick's M logo, others were statements on the trees and tents like.
' Go home Drag Witch.'
Or.
'If ugly were a crime, you'd get a life sentence.'
Or.
'You're so ugly that, You turned Medusa to stone.'
Or.
'Narnia is not yours anymore, get the ***k out!'
The Witch wasn't moved or amused by any of this. Especially when she spotted the wolf that ran in her, who was saved completely and shivering. She glared at the wolf and stabbed her wand into him. Turning him to stone.
"UGh!" The wolf yelled, becoming a statue.
The Next the Witch spotted Ginarrbrik who was tied to the tree instead of Edmund. He was gagged and with clown makeup on his face. Even a blue clown nose. Ginarrbrik was breathing hard and afraid, but mostly from his feet itching from the new sandpaper socks in his shoes.
The Witch stood there with a blank expression as she took a dagger from the tree that impaled the dwarf's hat and she cut him lose in an instance slash. His exclaimed muffled in the gag, frightened from the swipe of her blade thinking she'd cut him down. But instead she was walking away.
"Y-your not going to kill me?" Ginnarbrik asked in fear. While scratching his shoes.
The Witch looked back and said, "Not yet."
With all of the troops dead except for her, the general and the useless dwarf. She turned to General Otim who acknowledged her.
"We have work to do." The White Witch stated.
Back at Aslan's camp…
It was almost sunrise when Maverick came back. Since the Witch's camp was miles away it took all night for him to follow that wolf. But he got back with Edmund as the boy saw how immaculate this camp was compared to where he was before. Maverick spotted Aslan waiting on a hill, the lion saw them arriving. So he softly landed in front of the lion and dropped Edmund off with him.
"I brought 'Second Kings' back for you, he was being harassed by psycho, the missing 8 of the 7 dwarves. But i took care of it." Maverick quipped.
"Meaning you killed them?" Aslan rose an eyebrow.
"Nah, only his pride. And i did it all in slow motion." Maverick fist pumped.
"Thank you Aiden." Aslan smiled. "I trust you didn't leave too much of a mess at the Witch's camp."
Maverick looked humorously guilty. "I….may have reduced her inventory of demon troops and monster soldiers… a bit. It was Black Magic Friday, i couldn't resist."
Edmund looked back and forth as he fear was slowly leaving, they seemed friendly enough, including the big scary lion that everyone was talking about. He didn' seem so bad.
"Well i hope she has a large mess to clean up." Alsan said with amusement, then he gave Edmund a welcoming smile. "Edmund, son of Adam. Welcome. We have a lot to discuss."
Edmund looked down in shame as he could tell what else they would talk about. But Aslan is merciful. He tell's only what is needed to be heard.
"I'll leave you both to it while i go hit the sack." Maverick yawned. "Humiliating a dark ugly Witch is exhausting."
Before Maverick walked away, Edmund called him. "Hey Maverick?"
"Yeah?" He turned.
"Thanks." Edmund thanked him for rescuing him.
"No problem. Stay frosty." He smiled and teleported away.
Maverick appeared back inside his team's tent and shifted back to Aiden. He noticed that the other guardians were sleeping, except for Elsa who stayed awake in a chair until he came back. She smiled seeing him return as they shared a hug.
"Anything exciting happened while i was out kicking some tail?" Aiden asked her in a quiet voice to not wake up the others.
"Peter was knighted by Aslan for killing the wolf earlier." Elsa said.
"I told you the kid had it in him." Aiden grinned.
"But how were you able to tell?" Elsa asked curiously.
"The heart never lies, and it's more powerful than others give it credit for." Aiden stated and smirked. "That's how i know you and Jase are dating."
Elsa's eyes widened. "What?!" She said in a loud whisper. "We're not...it's not….Who told you?"
The Snow Queen never liked admitting it.
"No one, i'm connected to your heart, remember? Besides it's nothing to be embarrassed about. Mister Knife over there seems like a decent dude for an astronut." Aiden encouraged her. Letting her know she has her son's blessing.
Elsa scoffed. "Your starting to sound like your Aunt Anna." She mused.
"That's cause she's sometimes right. Don't tell her i said that, she'll rub it in until Armageddon." Aiden quipped.
"My frozen lips our sealed Little Spark." Elsa smiled.
Aiden knew that Elsa and J'son were dating all this time. Despite this moment of revelation. He still kept his secret about J'son being his father under reserve. He wishes he could, or rather would, but either he doesn't have it in him to tell not knowing the reaction will be from J'son, or he wanted all distractions out of the way. Aiden wasn't sure, but he won't spill those beans.
Not yet anyway.
The next morning….
After Edmund had been talking with Aslan, he was reunited with his brother and sister. The Lion told them that what's done has been done, and that there was no need to speak of Edmund's past mistakes.
So after he had enough time to rest, he was outside the tent having breakfast with his siblings. Edmund was sitting next to Lucy as he was eating up some toast. She looked at her brother with a cute grin.
"Narnia's not going to run out of toast, Ed." She joked which made him chuckle a bit in his breath.
As they were finishing up with breakfast Peter was making plans for his siblings.
"I'm sure they'll pack something up for the journey back." Peter stated.
"We're going home?" Susan inquired.
"You are." Peter clarified coming over at the table. "I promise Mum i'd keep you three safe. But it doesn't mean i can't stay behind and help."
Lucy didn't seem to like the sound of that.
"But they need us, all four of us." Lucy insisted.
"Lucy it's too dangerous. You almost drowned! Edmund was almost killed!" Peter argued back.
He was still concerned for all of their safety. He and Elsa could probably relate to that, both monarchs and care for their siblings.
Edmund looked down sadly and says "Which is why we have to stay."
They look at him.
"I've seen what the White Witch can do. And i've helped her do it." Edmund said, looking at them. "And we can't leave these people behind to suffer for it."
Lucy held his hand comforting him as the rest knew he was right. Even Susan as she thought back on what Elsa told her about how far intellect can take her. Doing what's logical is not the same as doing what's right.
"I suppose that's it then." Susan stood up to grab her bow and arrows.
"Where are you going?" Peter asked.
Susan smiled. "To get in some practice." she says.
While that was going on.
As everyone was in the camp going about their own business. Elsa and Aiden took a walk together as they were looking around at everything, centaurs standing guard. Animal's talk to each other or with another mythical creature.
"Is all of this starting to become normal to you? You know, since you've gallivanting from world to world?" Elsa asked Aiden as they walked.
"Hmm normal. Everybody keeps using that word like it's a must have." Aiden remarked. "Out here I think normal is an endangered species."
"No i…" Elsa laughed a little. "I mean. Has all of this become common to you? Doing the whole guardians adventure thing?
"It wouldn't be fun if it was. But I don't think the multiverse would need people like us if it was something simple." Aiden stated. "But while your exploring and discovering who needs you, you get to see wonders like this. And meet new surprises….. I'm getting ahead of myself."
"No no it's fine go on." Elsa encouraged him.
"This isn't something permanent, I'm an adopted glowing ice prince, not a Captain Kirk rip-off. We'll still go back to our lives in Frozen town once all of this is over." Aiden insisted.
"I don't know, i think you'd make a great space explorer. You get all of your toughness from me." Elsa playfully slugged his shoulder.
"Says the drama queen with the second rate powers that can't sleep unless i'm home at seven." Aiden teased.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Elsa put her hands on her hips with a fake glare. "Second rate?"
"You, have ice. I, have ice, neon, a metal shift suit, linguistic skills, engineering skills, comedic and acting skills, every type of combat and fighting skills, piloting skills, and I wield two keyblades, to name a few." Aiden gloated teasingly, earning a look from her. " And my power. You should've seen me yesterday. My power adapted to the point where i can run so fast, everything stops in time, like a 90s pop tarts commercial."
"Amazing, i don't think you're better than me." Elsa mused with a grin. "But still amazing."
Some centaurs walked by snickering at Elsa.
"What?" Elsa looked confused until she looked down and saw some glowing letters on her ice dress, that reads. 'Second rate'.
She gave Aiden an unamused look.
"Like i said, i'm fast now." Aiden snapped his fingers and made the letters go away.
"Alright, why don't we put that to the test?" Elsa smirked, she twirled her fingers and summoned a giant snowball right above Aiden
Aiden just stood there yawning, as the snowball instead landed on Elsa. "Uff!" She muffled under the snowball. Aiden pulled her out as she looked flabbergasted.
"I wanted completely fast, flew up and moved the snow ball right about you while you weren't looking." Aiden smirked while fixing his jacket like a pro.
"But i had my eye on you the whole time." Elsa said in shock.
"Went, completely, fast." Aiden enunciated.
"Yeah well. I can still create ice buildings and bring snowmen to life."
"Touche then." Aiden quipped and helped his mother out of the snow.
Once Elsa stood back up, she gasped and saw a white unicorn drinking from a water troth. "Aiden look." she beamed.
Aiden looked over and smiled. "Ah, a girl's best friend. The one thing that can put cats out of work."
Elsa went over and approached the unicorn in a calm but astonished demeanor as she rubbed it's neck as he seemed to like her touch.
"You are so beautiful." Elsa whispered and coed to the unicorn as she stroked it's mane.
"Thank you, you're pretty as well if i do say so myself." The unicorn responded in a female British voice.
Elsa was surprised that the unicorn can talk.
"Don't be surprised, everything talks in Narnia, and i do mean everything." Aiden gestured over at Groot who was letting some female trees feel his muscles as he flirted with them.
"I am Groot." Groot said flirtatiously at a pink leafy woman.
"Oh i don't know what you said, but it sure was cute." The lady made of leaves giggled.
'No it wasn't.' Aiden mouthed at Elsa who covered her mouth to stiff a giggle.
"My name is Alita. What's yours?" The unicorn asked politely.
"Oh, my name is Queen Elsa, and this is my son Aiden." Elsa smiled as she introduced herself and her son.
"Oh? You are with the guardians. My apologies i didn't recognize you in that wonderful ice dress." Alita said.
"It's quite alright, no need to be formal."
"Yeah she treats it like a disease." Aiden quipped earning a look from Elsa. "Anyway, i'll go check on the rest of the team while you two ladies chew the rag for a while."
Aiden walked off letting Elsa have a friendly chat with the unicorn.
"What does he mean by chewing the rag?" Alita asked curiously.
"It means having friendly chat from where he comes from." Elsa explained.
"You mean you and he are not from the same place? You're his mother aren't you?" Alita asked.
"Well, i adopted him five years ago. He came from a really far away place before he ended up meeting me and my family." Elsa said to the unicorn.
"Interesting. What's your home like?" Alita asked Elsa.
"You would love to see it, i have a sister who would be ecstatic if she met you…" Elsa went on having a social girl talk with Alita.
Aiden went over to check on Zambron who was drinking grog with some centaurs over by a mobile tavern in a tent, they all laughed at his tails of battle and conquests in the past. As he drinks with them.
"And so, with my mighty horns…. The gorog met a fowl end when I rammed it back. Killing it instantly. Without it even looking!" Zambron laughed as the others laughed with him.
Aiden shook his head at his antics, but was glad that he's fitting in with the other Narnians. Zambron spotted him and smiled, raising his mug to him.
"Ah. And here he is! The Maverick, leader of our team! My best adventures have been with him, fighting side by side fighting many threats that such have never seen. Without him. I never would've made it home here." Zambron toasted to him. "To the Maverick!"
"THE MAVERICK!" They all raised their glasses to him, while Aiden held his hands up acting modest.
"Please, the first person that tosses a rose at my feet will have to be mounted on the wall." Aiden smiled and quipped which made them laugh. Then he walked up to Zambron. "How's it going Zam?"
"I am more alive than i've ever been before. Watch as i consume this toxic liquid." Zambron started chugging the whole glass down mildly slowly.
Aiden nodded slowly giving him a worried look that he might pass out. "That stuff isn't snake venom is it?" he asked a centaur.
"No, it is more dangerous than that. It's aged Xoroxian ale. This stuff is used to melt through stone walls. For reconstruction." The centaur answered.
"I will hope and pretend that was a joke." Aiden nodded looking at Zambron as he roared and slammed the glass down.
"I still feel alive!" He announced as the others cheered for him.
"Wow, is your inners like made of steel or something." Aiden said.
"Maybe, but maybe my heart is full of pride and joy, to be back in the world of my birth. And i have you to thank for that Maverick." Zambron smiled. "And once we kill the White Witch in battle my family as well as many others will finally be avenged."
"Well they say home is where the heart is. This place was the medicine you needed to be whole again." Aiden stated.
"I've always been one peace, and my heart has always been inside my chest. How can a home serve as a health aid?" Zambron asked, taking his statement literally.
Aiden sighed and rolled his eyes a little. "What i mean is, this place suits you. You should stay here with them. This place will become a pretty nice vacation spot once the White Witch is dealt with."
"I'm glad you approve. I thought you would not since you have a strict no killing code." Zambron pointed out.
"Actually Zam, that rule only applies to people who are human, or at least close to the definition. What I saw back there when I rescued Edmund, the Witch is so far from human." Aiden corrected, then smirked. " That and she's so ugly, when she took a bath, the water jumped out. Am i right?!"
They all laughed at this. Just then Mrs Beaver ran up to Aiden. "Aiden!"
"What's wrong?" Aiden asked her out of concern.
" It's the White Witch, she's demanded a meeting with Aslan! She's on her way here!" Mrs Beaver stated. They all gasped except for Aiden.
"Well shit." He muttered. " The Wicked Witch Of No Direction is upset about yesterday. Let's see how this ends."
Back over at the main tent of the camp….
Aslan stood outside his tent standing in the center of the army as Aiden and his team stood next to the lion left side. While Peter and his siblings stood at his right side. All of the troops gathered around the tent with angry faces and looks of disgust as the White Witch approached while being carried on a throne by some cyclops.
Ginarrbrik the dwarf walked ahead announcing her presents.
"Jadis! The queen of Narnia! Empress of the Lone Island!" He yelled out.
Making the crowd jab and bark at her with insults and angry shouts.
"GO AWAY WITCH!"
"YOU DON'T BELONG HERE!"
She was brought to stand before Aslan, who glared at her with pure spite. But he held his peace. Everyone else glared, but Edmund looked afraid. She took up from her walking throne and stepped on to walk on the grass. She looked at Edmund while walking as he shivered a little at her cold gaze. But the Witch didn't notice in time as she stepped her shoe into a small puddle of liquid green neon.
That splashed. Staining the bottom of the Witch's new dress. She looked unmoved and slightly irritated. As they laughed at her mild humiliation.
"Careful, wouldn't want you to melt." Aiden mocked in a normal tone. He was the one that put that puddle there.
Causing all the others to laugh, including the Narnians. The Witch glared at Aiden while Aslan gave Aiden a small smile, looking slightly amused by his little gag. But the lion kept his focus.
Once the laughing ceased the Witch approached Aslan. Without a bow.
"You have a traitor in your mist Aslan." The White Witch stated, gesturing Edmund.
"His offense was not against you." Aslan pointed out.
"Have you forgotten the laws upon which Narnia was built?" The Witch questioned the Lion's memory.
He growled like a lion. "Do NOT cite the deep magic to me Witch!" He snapped. "I was there when it was written."
The Witch hid her fear of the lion with a smile. "Then you'll remember well that, every traitor belongs to me. His blood is my property." The Witch proclaimed.
"Try and take him then!" Peter pointed his sword at her.
The Witch looked at Peter. And the Guardians looked ready to break her bones as well.
"If you lay one finger on that boy." Elsa glared while ice sparked from her hands.
"And we'll bathe Narnia with your blood." Zambron growled ferociously at the Witch.
Otim the minotaur general growled back a little. But no one fought. The Witch just stood there, grinning and unfazed by their threats.
"Do you really think that mere force will deny me my right?" The Witch asked them and looked at Peter. "Little king?"
Peter seemed disturbed and unsure from her statement.
"There's nothing little about him." Elsa spoke up in his defense.
"Oh please, you don't even know him." The Witch responded to her. "Until yesterday he's never even wielded so much as a butter knife let alone a sword."
"And yet he's four times the ruler then you would ever hope to be." Elsa spat back. "Maybe whatever dark power you have or stole, can bend a world from it's purpose. But it can't break Peter."
"Says the young woman who, used to hid and feared her power even as a child." The Witch taunted softly.
Elsa hid the sting in her chest of her former childhood being mentioned like that, that only caused her to harden her death glare, the kind that sent shivers down Aiden's spine, he's just glad it's not directed at him.
"I use to be afraid, because I know real power when i see it. And i know a true queen when i see one." Elsa spat with enough venom in her voice. "You're not a queen, you're just an over glamorized hollow thug who takes what doesn't belong to her."
The Witch slightly narrowed her eyes back at Elsa.
"Except that boy's blood does belong to me, it's what this land owes." The White Witch retorted.
Elsa was about to respond angrily at the witch. But Aslan stopped him with his calm voice.
"Peace Elsa. You say the truth, but I myself, can't deny the deep magic over Narnia." Aslan dejected.
"You see? You can try and kill me all you want Guardians, But even Aslan know's that unless i have blood as the law demands." The Witch turned to everyone. "All of Narnia! Will be overturned! And parish in fire and water! The boy, will die on the stone table!"
The White Witch pointed at Edmund who's fear was growing as he realized the situation he put himself in.
"As is tradition." The Witch looked at the Lion. "You dare not refuse me."
"Enough!" Aslan voiced. And looked determined and slightly downhearted. "I shall talk with you alone."
The White Witch agreed and stepped into the tent with Aslan. Leaving everyone else outside to wait for them to come back out, and hear the results and fate of Edmund's life. Peter shot a grateful look at Elsa for standing up for him. Before he went back to wait sadly with his siblings.
After a short while, the guardians sat, stood and placed near the tent entrance waiting for Aslan to come back out.
"I am Groot." Groot shook his head looking at the tent.
"Yeah, i knew i should've used nitroglycerin in that green puddle." Aiden nodded while leaning on a barrel next to Groot. Playing on his gummi phone.
"I can't believe it. This entire world's existence depends on the life of a little boy." Elsa scoffed at how ridiculous that sounds.
"It sounds crazy, but crazy is all we've seen so far." J'son said while shining his guns.
"The universe works in mysterious ways." Victoria muttered under her breath while sitting on the grass.
"Or maybe the universe is just mysterious." Aiden shrugged. "Blame the snowman."
"Who?" Darkwing inquired while he was fixing his grapple hook.
"Don't worry, you'll catch on quickly when we get back to my place." Aiden quipped.
Just then, Aslan came back out with the Witch as she gave Edmund an unreadable expression, the whole camp stood waiting to hear from Aslan. He gave a sad look to Edmund as he was slowly thinking that he's doom. But he wasn't, not anymore.
"She has renounced her claim on the son of Adam's blood." Aslan announced
On that note, every Narnian around the camp cheered. Peter, Susan and Lucy were happily relieved. And so were the guardians.
"How do i know your promise will be kept?" The White Witch disrespectfully questioned Aslan's word that he'll his end of their bargain.
*ROAR*
Aslan in pure anger roared directly at the Witch's face, making her trip and sit on her throne. Everyone cheered for this as the Witch looked dissatisfied. As her throne was carried out of the camp, along with her troops.
Otim the minotaur general passed by Zambron as they glared at each other.
"Your a disgrace to your kind." Otim growled at Zambron.
"And your a disgrace to all kind." Zambron snapped back.
Otim glared and left with his men on that note. As the other Narnians gathered around Edmund congratulating him with his siblings. The Guardians were satisfied that Edmund was finally off the hook.
"Swell all's well then ends well." Darkwing stretched his arms and yawned. "If anyone needs me, i'll be chilling with the birds."
Darkwing walked away to talk to some other talking girl ducks. Which happens to have been passing by the camp.
The other Guardian's caught a glimpse of Aslan looking depressed as he walked back into his tent, not joining his men in celebrating.
"What deal did you think Aslan made with the White Wench?" Victoria asked Aiden.
"Whatever it was, something tells me it was a heavy price to pay." Aiden sighed.
Aiden and the rest knew that if they interfered, that would compromise the deep magic of Narnia's safety. They just left the Lion alone while trusting that he made the best choice possible.
"So what do we do now?" Victoria asked.
"Well we have time until Immortal Kombat tomorrow. Let's grab a drink." Aiden offered her his arm. "And please don't kick anyone's teeth in this time."
He was referring to a small incident that happened at the space Milkshake bar.
"I make no promises." Victoria smirked and wrapped her arm around his.
Even Groot went over to grab a drink with Zambron. But as the kids left, Elsa called out a reminder. "Nothing alcoholic, i'm serious!" She warned and sighed with a smile. "He's growing up so fast."
"Yeah she is." J'son was referring to Victoria. Then he smiled at Elsa. "Anything you would like to do."
"I can think of a few things." Elsa smirked and wrapped her arms around his kissed his lips.
"I hope it involves lots of ice." He flirts at her while he kisses her. Making her giggle on his lips. But after their kiss, they left to go take a walk around the camp together.
Whatever deal Aslan made with the Witch (As if we don't know). Despite what comes next, everyone is making progress in this time of war and trouble to come. Either before or after the battle of Narnia. The Guardians, Elsa, J'son, Aiden and Victoria. Groot, Darkwing Duck. Zambron.
They are all in this together. And that's how they are determined to fight and win. Together.
That's all for now Folks!
Like i said, for those of you that saw 'The Lion The Witch And The Wardrobe'. You know where this is going. How it goes with The Snow Queen and the Maverick, along with the Guardians of the Multiverse... We'll find out next time.
Aren't you shocked that Aiden figured out that Elsa was dating J'son all this time?!
"Probably not, let's not become the next Shyamalan." Maverick quipped.
Fine... What about Elsa's confrontation with the White Witch?
"I did it first, and humiliated White Wench worse then 'The Bad Girl's Club' ever could. " Maverick snickered sinisterly. "Oh i liked her better as the Ancient One."
Well anyway, there will be more to see in the next chapter. When Narnia's Battle of Beruna takes place.
"Also that Unicorn Mom was talking to. Alita, not to be confused with the cool robot in Disney, i mean Fox. That unicorn will be seen later on to meet my family after this journey is finally over. Aunt Anna's reaction will be priceless." Maverick stated.
Thanks for reading. Fav and follow if you like what you see and please leave your thoughts in the comment section. (And did anyone catch the reverence to my favorite X-Men movie that i put in this chapter?)
Until next time Disney/Square Enix fans.
FISTBUMP!
