Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Ice Queen
The room remained silent as they stood off facing each other determining who would make the first move. Its wasn't long before Mathias' patience wore thin as he charged forward at amazing speed surprising the darked haired woman as he tackled her off the bed and onto the floor with a loud thud.
"Where is she?!" He demanded in anger but the stubborn woman just smiled carefree of her current situation as the room temperature began to steadily drop. Ember eyes met darker blue ones as Mathias flared through his nose in irritation, puffs of hot air blew down on her face.
"Oh you poor dear, too stubborn to face reality. I am now Elsa." She said as she swiped at his chest with her icy hand across Mathias' chest cutting his skin as he stumbled back in shock and pain. Her sadistic laugh caused him to look up as she stood up and he quickly made a mad dash toward the door and smashed through it without wasting time of opening it and moved out of the doorway as ice shards shot out of the room stabbing into the solid wall on the other side. Mathias panted as he looked at the ice in front of him before he leaned against the wall in relief knowing what would have happened if he didn't move fast enough. The guards started to appear from both hallways swords drawn ready to fight. Jonathan was in the lead of the other group and looked around trying to understand the situation.
"Where's the queen?" Jonathan asked worriedly as he seen the ice and his dear friend shooken up. Mathias looked at him but never answered him and he looked at where the ice came from to see a young woman standing in the room from what he could tell through the ice. He then looked back at Mathias and a certain thought came to him and he chuckled. The other guards looked at him in confusion along with Mathias.
"Your night didn't start as well as you hoped?" He joked a bit causing some of his men to snicker but after seeing Mathias' face they stopped.
"T-That is not her." He whispered making Jonathan and the guards look at him confused. More ice busted through the wall startling the guards as the moved for cover, the sadistic laugh in the room caught their attention.
"Mathias dear, come out and play i promise i'm just getting started. You want to know what has become of your Elsa, Mathias?" She asked Making Mathias tense as he peeked through ont of the gaps in the wall giving him perfect view of the woman. She seen his ember eyes and laughed as she lifted her icy hand and impaled her chest but no blood came out and this surprised him as she pulled her flesh apart revealing a light blue gem within her chest.
"This gem is now your precious Elsa, she is my source of power for now but it won't be till i absorb the life out of her and become what she was always destined to be. So if you want her, come get her! Make it all worthwhile!" She said as the wound she inflicted on herself healed concealing the blue gem of the real Elsa inside it. Mathias' breathing quickened as his eyes narrowed in a fierce determination glaring at his new target knowing that his objective is inside of the fraud.
"If she's your source of power then i'll just have to rip her out of you then!" He yelled out as he bashed through the ice in the doorway surprising the woman as he charged toward her with amazing speed but she still had enough time to move out of the way as he rushed passed her to a skidding halt. The room was small but that didn't stop the two as the fight continued inside the room leaving the guards wondering what going till Mathias rushed out of one of the holes in the wall followed by the darked haired woman as she froze the men by their feet before they could make a move on her in aiding Mathias. Mathias already injured in his right leg quickly turned around again and took a deep breath making the fake Elsa stop in her tracks. Her eyes widened when she saw his throat glow a bright blue and made a wall of ice in front of her as Mathias let loose his fiery assault destroying her wall in seconds burning her as she was knocked to the ground. Mathias panted as he looked at the woman on the floor relieved that it was over till he heard a slight chuckle as she stood back up, Half of her face was burnt along with her right shoulder and arm but it all began to heal shocking Mathias as he slowly backed away in horror.
"Did you really think your pitiful fire can take out me the Ice Queen?" She asked sadistically and Mathias didn't have any time to act as his right shoulder was impaled by ice forcing him to the wall as he roared out in pain making her laugh more. She slowly walked over to Mathias as he was helpless as she advanced him.
"Mathias, dear are you losing your edge? What a shame, i really like strong men like yourself but you seem to be a bit out of commission." She said as she made the ice to go further into his shoulder making him hiss in pain but he never looked away from her. The guards hollard toward Mathias urging him to do something but Jonathan was ramming his sword into the ice trying break himself free so he could aid Mathias from the assailant. A sword appeared near his throat making him as he looked towards the owner to find Hans standing next to him.
"I'll be honest i was expecting Arendelle to be utterly destroyed this morning by Mathias but this. This was something i wasn't expecting." He said with a chuckle catching the other guards attention. Mathias heard his voice and looked passed the ice queen and looked at Hans his eyes blazing in fury.
"You!" He growled out in anger but he flinched slightly from the wound on his right shoulder. The woman laughed at his state as he struggled to move. Hans clapped his gloved hands as he moved towards them, his smile growing as he stopped a few feet from them.
"Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Mathias beaten by his own beloved, this how people will always remember you. Weak and helpless. I'll be honest Mathias i was hoping that you would be the one that drank the potion last night but you've given me something much much greater. Now Elsa is mine and there's nothing you can do about it now that the potions is in process into what you see now." He said and Mathias felt his body steadily going weak by the minute.
"How pathetic that someone as mighty as you could be reduced to this." Hans said gesturing to his human body. Mathias looked down to the floor in shame knowing that he had nothing left. He remembered last night and he slowly lifted his head to look back at Hans.
"I-I did drink the potion, so why didn't it work on me?" He asked him and Hans chuckled as he turned away from him.
"Well from the look of things your Queen Elsa drank it first so it would affect you and with the way it works it brings the evilness out of the person who drank it. Don't worry as this Elsa already told you she's still alive but with the way you are and how far the process is it would be too late and this one will be the real Elsa but i still have use for her now that you are out of the way. I might not get ultimate power like i wanted but her power will do just as well. A world of ice will suit me nicely." He said as he walked forward away from him.
"Bring them here!" He yelled out and Mathias heard someone struggling and his eyes widened when he saw Anna and Kristoff in the hands of Hans men. He knowticed that Christian wasn't with them and clenched his left fist in anger.
"Where's the boy?!" Mathias yelled out catching the dark haired Elsa and Hans attention.
"You didn't bring my own nephew here?" She asked Hans and he shrugged and ordered one of his men to fetch the baby. The two talked among themselves as Mathias watched in disgusted but couldn't help but notice the shocked but hurt look on Anna's face as she looked at the woman talking to Hans.
"I'm about to hurl if i have to keep seeing you two chatting away without a damn care in the world." Mathias said loud enough for them to hear as they turned around and looked at him in annoyance.
"Have you always been a comedian dear?" The dark haired Elsa asked him and he smirked much to their annoyance. He kept it up for a bit getting some of the royal guards to laugh till one of the men brought the baby to them and handed the boy to the icy woman who held him in her arms. Anna being the overprotective mom started throwing punches at some of the men detaining her along with the help of Kristoff. Mathias smirked at their determination but it wasn't long til they were overwhelmed by Hans henchmen. Anna taken a blow to the head knocking her unconscious but they managed to bring Kristoff to his knees. Hans smiled watching the entire scene and looked at the ice queen holding the baby in her arms.
"How about we leave with a bang?" He suggested and Elsa laughed knowing what he meant.
Take Mathias and Kristoff to the north tower." Hans commanded as the grabbed Kristoff and a wounded Mathias up the stairs with the evil duo right behind them. Mathias noticed that it was a small room but was probably larger if there weren't so many barrales sitting around which made him curious. He was already injured so he didn't know why they tied him to a chair in front of Kristoff who's back was against his in a similar state. He looked at the room wearily trying to use his senses as he knew something wasn't right about the place. Christian gurgled happily in the assailant who looked at the baby with fierce blue eyes but yet she was surprising gentle with him. Hans clapped his hands disturbing the silence as he gestured his men to leave till only the four remained in the room.
"Well Mathias you had a good run since you arrived here but i'm afraid this is where it all ends for you." He said and Elsa sat the baby in a crate on the side of Mathias confusing him more till Hans pulled out a small stick and swiped it against the wall igniting a small fire on it then slowly brought it near one of the barrels that had a black string attached to it making it spark and the spark slowly started to go down to the barrel.
"Think it's about time you go out in flames Mathias." He said as he started to walk down the stars but the dark haired Elsa stood there before she approached him and pressed her cool lips upon his.
"I'll make sure your Elsa watches you go up in flames dear but it was fun while it lasted." She said as she left the two men alone with the over excited baby. The fuse slowly getting closer to its destination made the man nervous.
"Oh hell no, Kristoff can you break out of your binds?" He asked him and felt Kristoff move around to no avail. He looked at the kid sitting in the crate and with what little strength he had left he started to move around breaking the chair so he could get out with ease but the fuse was seconds near its destination.
"Sorry for this." He said as he grabbed kristoff in his chair and tossed him down the stairs.
"The hell with you!"Kristoff said his voice cursing him for it but he ignored his smartass comments and hurried over and covered the baby. A loud noise filled the room and he felt a massive burning covered his body as the room turned orange from the growing flames.
Elsa felt groggy and her head felt like it was spinning as she came too but quickly noticed that she wasn't in her room and slowly opened her eyes and saw that she was on a deck of a ship. She looked around and saw Hans standing there as if waiting for something to happen. She tried to use her powers but nothing happened and she felt confused till a pair of feet in front of her caught her attention. She looked up and her eyes widened in horror at the woman standing before her. The woman laughed and looked at her with her dark blue eyes.
"Yes i'm you soon be the real you as you reduce to nothing. You will become apart of me for eternity but i have a little show for you since the fireworks are about to start." She said as she forced Elsa to look toward Arendelle and its castle and a large explosion appeared at the north tower and deep inside her she knew what happened once she saw the smug look on Hans face that he done something to her family.
"Now don't worry about Anna, your sister is alright it's just the boys you no longer have to worry about now." He said and her heart felt like it shattered a thousand pieces knowing that her nephew, Kristoff and Mathias all went up in flames. Her strange twin laughed to herself finding it funny and a sharp thud was felt at the back of her head and the world went dark once again.
Kristoff heard the explosion and looked up in horror knowing that his son was still up there. He heard the guards approaching as he scrambled up the stairs to look for Mathias and his son. The flames roared in the room making it hard to see through the smoke and debris but the sound of his son crying through the fire caught his attention as he slowly moved toward it being careful not to get licked by the flames. He saw the distinct body of Mathias as he slowly tried to get up but his body was badly burned. He turned his head to Kristoff's direction his eyes stern in determination but moved just a bit to reveal the baby unharmed, he looked at the boy and his eyes softened just a bit relieved that the child was okay and looked at Kristoff again and smirked painfully at him remembering what Kristoff said going down the stairs.
"Screw you too, you little shit." He mumbled before collapsed to the ground again as Kristoff moved over to him and saw Jonathan hurrying in to aid them out of the fire. Christian was wailing from the heat and Kristoff hurried out of the room with him while Jonathan dragged Mathias behind him down the stairs. The young man was in bad shape and Jonathan worried that he wouldn't make it with those severe burns on his body.
"He needs medical attention get the physician!" Jonathan yelled out to his men but Kristoff looked at Mathias' state and immediately took charge knowing that there is someone that could help him.
"Get Mathias to the courtyard now!" Kristoff ordered and the men stopped and looked at him puzzled but just a glare from the mountain man and they quickly aided Jonathan in getting Mathias to their destination careful of his wounds. It wasn't long till they reached the courtyard and Kristoff called his reindeer Sven and his friend barged out of the stabled in worry after hearing the commotion. Jonathan was now more confused than ever and looked at Kristoff hoping to get an answer.
"I know someone that can help him and you'll be in charge while i'm gone.' He said as he got Mathias on Sven laying on his stomach and he mounted on his friend ready to go. Without another word he hurried out of the castle gates and into the village with the people in chaos seeing the tower in flames.
"Hang on Mathias, just hold on. I know someone that can help you but you got to stay with me." He said as he ushered Sven to move faster to their destination.
In the valley the troll Grand pabbie stood alone overlooking the other trolls but he knew that he'd that will bring the great one to him but didn't know how or why. He feared that he may have been angered by his transformation and thought of turning him back but he wasn't sure after hearing such a man living in Arendelle his actions saving the people and the Queen. He knew it was hm but was concerned that he wasn't keeping to himself as much as he thought he would be and would cause such problems knowing that the world isn't ready for him again. The sound of hooves caught his attention and he was finally aware of the arrival of Kristoff. He smiled when he seen him rush in but it faded when he seen how distraught he was along with the other trolls. His eyes caught someone behind him and his eyes widened in shock as he rolled down to Kristoff as he unmounted and got the man off of Sven. After Pabbie got a look at him seeing him up close he was shocked beyond imaginable.
"This can't be?" He said to himself and Kristoff looked at him confused and suddenly something clicked in his mind as he looked at the elder troll.
"Grand Pabbie, Do you know him?" He asked shocked as the elder troll shook his head. The other trolls gathered around looking at Mathias in awe and disbelief.
"Tell me what happened to him." Pabbie said as he gestured the other trolls to gather near him observing his wounds preparing to heal him. Kristoff started from the beginning of when Mathias first showed up to the point he fought the Ice queen and was almost killed by Hans and Pabbie shook his head as the healing process was almost complete.
"If Hans intends to use Elsa's powers then this world in in mortal danger of his tyrant rule but if she dies this world will be forever frozen and all of life will be lost." Grand Pabbie said as he looked at Mathias.
"Nature has an order, a power to restore balance and he is that power." Pabbie said shocking him but was silent letting the elder continue.
"Your friend here is no man, he's something far greater than even us. His powers are without equal but how he got here still remains a mystery even to me. When he arrived he was severely injured and close to death we had to heal him and give him this form so no one would harm or he to anyone while he healed. He's like a god to you humans and has been on this earth a very long time. Mathias as you call him is the king of monsters, this world's greatest line of defense and our only hope." He said and Kristoff looked at Mathias in disbelief. His burns were now gone but his still remained unconscious but they knew it wouldn't be long til he reawoken.
"You really think he can help?" Kristoff asked concerned and Pabbie shook his head.
"If he truly loves Elsa as you say then he will. He's seen the world in the perspective of humans and now understands now why they are the way they are. Being human changed him and gave him a chance of happiness. He will fight to save her and i feel pity to anyone who stands in his way once he regains his true self he has lost. Order must be restored and that's exactly what he'll do." Pabbie said once he noticed Mathias beginning to move. His ember eyes appeared as he observed his new surroundings realizing that he wasn't in the castle any more.
"Somebody has some explaining to do." Mathias said as he sat up looking at the trolls wearily, his eyes narrowed and a familiar scent caught his attention. His glare moved to the elder troll as he finally stood to his full height.
"I stand corrected. I believe you already know me so you know what you have to do. Elsa is in trouble and so is Anna. Kristoff i fully intend to bring them back by any means necessary, Hans will pay for what he's done that's a promise." Mathias said and the trolls started to whisper among themselves. Grand Pabbie looked at the young man before him and already knew this when he arrived. With a swift of his hand a swirl of blue light enveloped Mathias but nothing happened and Mathias looked at him confused.
"You should be able to turn back freely from this form to yours Mathias. Bring the royal sisters home." He said and Mathias nodded his head in understanding and gestured Kristoff to get on his reindeer and they hurried out back to Arendelle.
Abigail despite how badly hurt she from the things Hans did to her was trying to calm some of the people as they decided to find the culprit.
"Mathias is the only one we know that can cause such destruction, he's killed the royal family and now we want his blood!" One man said angrily toward another group who knew Mathias well and help gain back the kingdom against the northern isles.
"He never done such thing! He loves the Queen so you better show some respect to the man who's fought for this land and its people in it!" One man in the other group yelled out in rage. Abigail watched in annoyance as they were ready to fight and she got on some crates hoping to get their attention.
"EVERYONE STOP!" She yelled out catching their attention and they looked at her in confusion but they remained quiet.
"Mathias wasn't responsible for this, He's helped us so many times again and again. Don't you see that? He would never harm them because they became a family to him and you just want to turn your backs against him. Hans was responsible, he's the main reason all this happened in the first place. Hans has them captive somewhere and deep down i know Mathias will bring them back. Us fighting each other isn't the answer to our problem and it will never be, you have to put your differences aside because they need you now more than ever." She said and they looked among themselve finally calming down. Kristoff came over to the docks and Abigail got down to greet him.
"Where's Mathias?" She asked him worriedly and Kristoff smirked and gestured to the water.
"How can he be swimming in a time like this!" She yelled but was silenced by a loud noise that caught the attention of everyone there. The guards came running down the street and looked towards the water with uncertainty. The water started to rise and spikes began to surface causing everyone to back away in fright. A low rumble was made as it stood it's full height and roared out into the heavens nearly deafening the people and Abigail looked in awe along with Kristoff. It's scales were grey but littered with scars and it's head seemed familiar of that of a dragon. It's tail rose up from the water before it slammed back into the water making a splash causing its waves to crash into the docks.
"Is that…?" She tried to ask Kristoff but she knew that she didn't need an answer as to see what Mathias truly looked like in his glory. There was only one thing she could do and she kneeled showing her respect to the being before her. The sailors on the ship have done the same thing and the other's looked at them confused but followed their example. The titans turned its head facing the village with its people, puffs of hot air flared from its nostrils as it stared at them with its amber eyes. It turned away and with a final roar it started move out of the fjord into the sea.
"Gojira!" The elder sailor shouted as the rest of them stood up and started cheering and Abigail did as well knowing that Mathias will prevail and bring Princess Anna and Queen Elsa home.
"Go get them Mathias!" She yelled out and everyone else looked at her in confusion then at the creature in shock before they erupted into cheering him on. The guards looked at each other and Jonathan rushed passed them to one of the ships.
"He's going to need a hand so let's get going! I'm not about to let him have all the fun who's with me?!" Jonathan called out and the guards and many of the village men joined as well. It wasn't long till they've set sailed with three ships ready to get their Queen with the aid of Mathias as his true self.
