AN: This is based off "The Huntsman: Winter's War"'s trailer.

"Why do we need to know this story anyway?" Mighty Ray demanded, leaning back and rolling his eyes. "Its just of some element queen or something?"

Woo the Wise frowned at the young warrior. "Not so, Mighty Ray. This story has descended from millennia, surviving through the worse of disasters. And with the claims of reincarnation?"

"What is this story, Woo the Wise?" Commander Apetrully asked.

Woo the Wise opened the book and took out an orb that had somehow fit into the book. He held it up, looking at it carefully. "If I am right, this will tell us the tale of the five sisters."

"How does it work?" Lin Chung asked carefully.

Woo frowned at it. "I am not sure."

"Give it!" Mighty Ray snatched it. He shook it again and eyed it carefully.

"Give it back, banana breath." Mystique Sonia rolled her eyes. She took it.

"Give it back!" Mighty Ray shouted. "I had it under control." He tried to snatch it from Mystique Sonia, but the female warrior kept her tight grip on the orb. Suddenly, Yaksha joined in the fray. But the unbalance immediately resulted in the orb flying over Mystique Sonia's head and smashing against the floor.

"The orb!" Woo the Wise wailed.

Before anyone could reprimand the two, a bright light engulfed the room. It faded a few minutes later, and the group consisting of First and Second Squad, the Air Force, Lady Green, Rattle Diva, Woo the Wise and Commander Apetrully found themselves in a large domed room with a high ceiling and a large oval shaped dining table.

Servants scurried to and fro, going through the group as they focused on the people sitting at the table. At the head of the table was Lady Green with Lin Chung on her right. To her left was Mystique Sonia and Mighty Ray. To Mighty Ray's left was Alpha Girl Latifah and Kowloon, while Rosefinch and Mano were sitting to Lin Chung's right. Rattle Diva was right beside them.

The nine all looked older. The hierarchy was pretty clear - Lady Green and Lin Chung were the heads. Rosefinch and Mystique Sonia were the right and left hand women. Their…husbands supported them, while Alpha Girl sat at the end for some reason (it was odd considering that she was the oldest daughter). Rattle Diva, being the only one unmarried, sat at the last place furthest away from Lady Green.

The sisters seemed to have a good rapport with one another, laughing and joking while their husbands slipped in a witty or annoying comment every so often that more often than not resulted in the table bursting into laughter.

Another scene slipped in, changing to one of Lady Green sat beside a cradle smiling down at a child in her arms and then looking up at Lin Chung, who was standing behind her.

The group's breaths hitched. It was evident that the child belonged to Lady Green and Lin Chung.

The scene changed drastically then into a dark alleyway. Through the flickering light of a candle, the group identified Alpha Girl, Kowloon and Rattle Diva present. Alpha Girl's face was dark and angry as she hissed to the other two. They were finishing some sort of discussion.

"Kill the baby. Don't fail." She hissed at Rattle Diva, who scowled but nodded.

A few gasps came from the group.

After Rattle Diva left, Alpha Girl turned to Kowloon. "Take out Lin Chung."

"Take him out? Are you serious?!" Kowloon snarled. "For one thing, he is almost never unarmed, and for another, he'll easily take me out! You saw our match last week!"

"But you have the element of surprise. Don't try to make it fancy. Be quick and end him."

"If you're so willing to kill him, you do it yourself." Kowloon muttered.

Alpha Girl's eyes lighted with a fierce glint. "Fine. I will then. But you aren't just going to sit there twiddling your thumbs. You get Lin Chung to a secluded area and I'll finish him off."

Kowloon rolled his eyes. "Why not just get him when he's with the child? Rattle Diva can also help us pin him down."

"We have to be quick." Alpha Girl frowned. "Green's smart. She'll know when something has happened to him."

"I don't know why you're worrying. You've got the element of Earth. Just get him alone, have Rattle Diva stun him, and then finish off Lin Chung. I don't even see why you need me."

"Because if he miraculously escapes and we need someone to face him off in close combat fighting, you're the most eligible."

"Alpha Girl?" A voice they recognised as Rosefinch's travelled into the alley. "What are you doing?"

The third youngest was standing at the end of the alley, looking at them with no undisguised horror. "What are you doing?" She slowly backed out.

"Rosefinch, stay out of this." Alpha Girl instructed.

"When you're talking about killing Lin Chung?" Rosefinch demanded. "Are you out of your mind? Green will slaughter you."

"Oh will she?" Alpha Girl didn't seem too concerned.

"She will." Rosefinch nodded. Then she turned and started to take off. Alpha Girl growled and charged forward, growling. Earth shot out of the ground and wrapped itself around Rosefinch, slowly cocooning her.

"Alpha Girl!" Rosefinch warned from where she was struggling. "Don't do this!"

"You never could take me on, Rosefinch." Alpha Girl didn't listen, instead vanishing. And then Rosefinch burst free from the rock.

"Holy-" Mighty Ray whispered, the only one capable of speech.

"Yeah."

The scene switched once more, showing Rosefinch sprinting down to a pair of doors and bursting through it to find Mystique Sonia, Mighty Ray and Lady Green talking and laughing. The trio turned upon seeing Rosefinch crash in.

"Rosefinch?" Lady Green asked, her eyes furrowing in concern. "What's wrong?" She hurried forward to help Rosefinch up.

"Alpha Girl and Rattle Diva are planning to…"

"What?" Lady Green demanded. Mystique Sonia came up behind her, eyes wide with horror.

Rosefinch looked up helplessly. "Your child." She whispered.

Lady Green's eyes widened as she sprinted out of the room, closely followed by Mystique Sonia.

Once again the scene changed. It was the same room from the previous scene with Lin Chung, Lady Green and the baby, except that this time, Lin Chung was standing beside the cradle, smiling at the child.

Rattle Diva walked in, nodding at Lin Chung, who returned the gesture. His eyes fell to her hands, which were crackling with lightning and he looked up, instantly alert. Rattle Diva shot two consecutive blasts at him, which sent him flying to the wall. She quickly shot one at the cradle, but the child's cries confirmed that he was still alive.

Kowloon and Alpha Girl burst in. Kowloon instantly headed for Lin Chung, striking quickly. Lin Chung ducked, drawing his own sword and sending Kowloon sailing for the door. He got up quickly and rushed to the cradle, only to be stopped as the ground started swallowing him up. He hacked at the earth, leaping up and landing a safe distance away, only for Rattle Diva to blast him with lightning once again.

He landed on his back heavily, and Rattle Diva peered into the crib, hand crackling with lightning. Then she hesitated.

"What are you waiting for?" Alpha Girl demanded as Kowloon sprinted to Lin Chung.

"I-" Rattle Diva hesitated again. "I can't. Alpha Girl, he has nothing to do with us."

"Weakling." Alpha Girl growled, slamming Rattle Diva forward. She cried out in alarm as Alpha Girl directed the mirror to the blast of lightning accidentally let loose, changing it's course to the cradle.

"No!" Lin Chung stabbed Kowloon in the side, grabbing Kowloon's fallen blade and flinging it at the mirror.

He was too late.

The lightning struck the cradle, and the child's cries quietened abruptly.

"Useless." Alpha Girl snarled as she closed her hand in a fist. Rattle Diva watched her sister in horror as she was turned to stone. Her statue remained there, both arms held out to protect her face and a horrified expression on her otherwise pretty face.

Lin Chung turned, flinging a dagger hidden in his sleeve towards Alpha Girl, who barely avoided it. He grabbed his sword and flung it at her as well, but Alpha Girl merely sidestepped and let the Earth catch it before she thrust her hand towards Lin Chung. He looked down in horror as his feet started turning to stone.

The doors burst open again, revealing Lady Green and Mystique Sonia. Lady Green took in the damage, her eyes landing on Lin Chung, who reached an arm out to her before he was completely turned to stone. Alpha Girl clicked her fingers, and he fell into a pile of dust.

"No." Lady Green whispered. "NO!" Her scream reverberated throughout the room, tidal waves washing over the room and laying waste to almost everything in the room. The doors slammed closed. The water dissipated quickly as it had come, but there was still a small flood in the room.

Lady Green collapsed and Mystique Sonia lunged out to catch her before she hit the floor. Rosefinch came in, quickly helping her sisters after taking in the damage. Lady Green looked up at Alpha Girl, her face tear-stained. "Why?" she mouthed.

Alpha Girl looked at her younger sister coldly. "The throne was mine by a right."

"If that was all you wanted," Lady Green whispered, voice hoarse. "You need only ask."

Alpha Girl's eyes narrowed dangerously. "I shouldn't have to ask." Her voice rose. "It was mine. I WAS THE ELDEST!"

"You lunatic." Mystique Sonia spat. "You think anyone will accept you as queen after what you just did?!"

"I merely got rid of opponents in my way. Welcome to politics, little sister."

"You're no sister of mine." Mystique Sonia hissed.

"If you wanted to fight," Lady Green looked up. "You could've just come to me. Why did you have to involve them in this?"

Rosefinch scowled as Alpha Girl remained silent. "Because she knew she couldn't beat you in a one-on-one fight." Her eyes narrowed.

"Don't act like this." Alpha Girl scowled. "You were jealous too."

"But to kill her child? Kill Lin Chung?" Mystique Sonia asked incredulously. "That's taking it too far."

"We're family." Rosefinch growled. "He was your nephew. Lin Chung was your brother. Rattle Diva was your sister."

Alpha Girl shrugged. "They were weak."

"No." Lady Green stood up, eyes burning with fury. "You are." Alpha Girl's eyes widened. Lady Green let out a scream, waves bursting forth to attack Alpha Girl relentlessly. Again and again, she struck, steadily leading Alpha Girl to the window. Alpha Girl looked behind her and looked at Lady Green.

"We're family."

"So were they." Lady Green replied. She thrust her hand forward, and Alpha Girl crashed through the window, landing to her death. She looked at Kowloon, whose eyes widened before he was encased in water which hardened to ice.

That scene faded out quickly, and there was a moment of blackness as the group tried to process what they had just seen. The child, Rattle Diva and Lin Chung had been killed by Alpha Girl. Alpha Girl and possibly Kowloon had been killed by Lady Green in a vengeance.

"She just…" Mystique Sonia whispered, "She just killed them. Without hesitating."

The scene changed, now on a beach in the moonlight. Lady Green was looking out at the ocean. She straightened and walked into the water, each step measured and careful. When she was shoulder deep, she exhaled and then went under.

She didn't come up.

The scene disappeared, changing back to the familiar setting of the Air Force hanger.

There was a couple of seconds of silence, before Woo the Wise spoke up. "I assume now we have to figure out how the reincarnation happened." Several nods. "And, in foresight, I suppose that this could have explained the relationships between several of you."

"What do you mean, Woo?" Mystique Sonia asked.

Woo turned, eyebrow raised. "You and Mighty Ray argue like an old married couple," he ignored the splutters and denials, "Rosefinch and Mano get along brilliantly in the Air Force, Kowloon and Alpha Girl Latifah always got along and Lady Green and Lin Chung get along wonderfully, if I say so myself."

The two looked at one another and shrugged.

"Then there is the jealousy. Each of the sisters were jealous of one another - Mystique Sonia of Lady Green, Alpha Girl of Lady Green and against Mystique Sonia. Rattle Diva of Mystique Sonia." Woo didn't seem to care getting glared at while he studied the remains of the smashed orb. "Fascinating. I will need to do experiments."

He left the room with Commander Apetrully, who added kindly, "Take a day or two off. You will need some time to adjust."

"Understatement of the century." Mighty Ray murmured, but that was all he said.
