I do not own any Frozen Tangled characters involved.

Near was flipping through the pages of a book with a pen in his hand. After a few minutes he slammed his hand down on the table and shouted angrily

"Why!?" Near shouted.

Near looked straight down at the table.

"Why can't I figure it out!? There's nothing here that even comes close to it. I can't make the perfect world if I don't have this. Collecting the crystals is only the first piece. I have to have everying prepared before I obtain the Dark Hado." Near said.

Near started flipping through the pages furiously.

"There has to be something that gives even the slightest clue but where? The formula should be in here." Near out loud.

Near put the book down and put his pen on the table.

"Ten whole days and I'm nowhere from where I started." Near said out loud.

Near turned to the crystals on the wall. The cracks were visible due to the lighting.

"Could it be?" Near asked.

Near raised his hand and a blue stream built up around it. He threw his arm forward and the stream flew into the cracks of the wall. The stream outlined the cracks and made a symbol with the crescent moon in the middle visible from where he was standing and he smiled.

"I did it."

Near walked over to the wall and put a hand over it.

"So this is the formula. It's incredible." Near said out loud.

Near ran his hand over the wall and he felt cracks that he couldn't see.

"Is there more?"

Near sent another stream into the wall and it outlined words inside two circles and all the other circles of the symbol.

"I can read it. But I don't know what it means." Near said.

Near ran his hand over the wall again.

"It must be a code. But for what?"

Near looked up at the wall.

"Maybe Arendelle has something on this. I guess I can go see for myself." Near said.

Near put his mask on and blackness lifted him off the ground and carried him to Arendelle. Leaving the lightly lit wall behind.


Drago was in the library of the castle. He had a book open on the table and stacks of it next to him. Anna came into the room soon after.

"You know if you were looking for a stealthfull approach you really didn't do a good job." Drago said.

"Whoever said I was trying to be stealthful." Anna retorted.

"Fair enough." Drago said closing the book. "Out of all the books in this library I can't believe you have nothing on what I'm looking for."

"What exactly are you looking for?" Anna asked.

"Under the Dark Hado there was also another form that Near and I barely studied. It was called the Elixir of Life." Drago said.

"How ironic." Anna said.

"I know it is. Anyway..."

Drago placed a piece of paper in front of him and grabbed a pen. Anna got closer so she could see what Drago was doing.

"This form didn't really rely on the Dark Hado at all. It actually relies on the flow of power." Drago said.

Drago drew a circle on the paper.

"This circle represents the circulation of power. But to call upon this power one must draw a structural matrix within the circle." Drago explained.

Anna looked at him dumbfounded.

"Are you following all this?" Drsgo asked.

"No not really. But I think I know someone who might be able to understand it." Anna said.

Elsa came into the room as if on cue.

"Perfect timing." Anna said.

"Perfect timing for what?" Elsa asked.

Elsa looked up at the stack of books.

"I didn't know you liked to read Drago." Elsa said walking forward.

"Actually it's the one things I do when I'm bored." Drago said.

"I just learned my fun fact for the day." Anna said.

Elsa saw the circle and gave off a confused expression.

"What's that?" Elsa asked.

"It was something about the circulation of power or something like that." Anna said.

"You really didn't try to explain math to her did you?" Elsa asked.

"It's not math. It's science. Although you could say it's part math part science." Drago said.

"Great. My two worst subjects." Anna said.

"Anyway about the circulation of power." Elsa said.

"Right. So this circle represents the power. But then you have to call upon that power by drawing a structural matrix inside it." Drago said.

Elsa thought for a minute.

"I understand the part about the circle but everything else is unfamiliar to me." Elsa said.

"The circle is just the first part. The structural matrix is the procedures or formula that is used to call upon the power inside the circle." Drago said.

"Well then couldn't they just give you a manual that's like step one and step two and all that?" Anna asked.

"These circles actually hold more power than the greatest sorcerers of all time. If that power were to fall into the wrong hands then the world would come to an end. They way they prevented that was by coding it." Drago said.

"But the code can be cracked right?" Anna asked.

"Any code can be cracked." Drago answered.

"Then why would they code it in the first place?" Elsa asked.

"That's because it's not a regular code. The clues to how to crack it are so subtle it could be right in front of your face and you'd miss it." Drago said.

"What does this have to do with the situation at hand?" Elsa asked.

Drago held out his hand and a book appeared in it.

"I saved this just because I thought I might need it someday." Drago said.

Drago opened to a page with a symbol on it.

"Look." Anna said.

Anna pointed at the symbol of the crescent moon in the middle of the symbol.

"Near must have studied this clandestinely. If that's the case then he knows the code." Drago said.

"If he does know it what happens?" Anna asked.

"He just has to draw this symbol around Arendelle and activate it and he'll have his perfect world." Drago answered.

Near appeared across from them clapping his hands.

"Bravo Drago. You figured out my plan. Well, half of it anyway. Too bad for you I'll have to kill you right now because you know too much." Near said.

Near's blackness shot forward at high speeds. Drago countered with his own blackness and they met in the middle. Near's blackness started to push back Drago's

"How?" Drago asked.

"You fool. I thought you would have noticed by now. This isn't the power of Black Spike. This is the power of the Elixir of Life." Near said.

Near's blackness broke through Drago's and he was sent flying into the wall.

"Black Spike is inferior compared to this power." Near said.

Elsa shot a blast of ice at Near from her hand.

"Not today." Near said.

Near snapped his fingers on his other hand and a flame thrower blasted through Elsa's ice and sent her into the wall too. The flames did the same to Anna. The burns marks that covered them were worse than fifth degree. The book Drago once held was on the ground. It lifted off the ground and floated into Near's hand.

"I'll be taking this thank you very much." Near said.

Near vanished out of sight just as Repunzel, Eugene and Kristoff came sprinting in. Kristoff noticed Anna half passed out and he ran over to her and Repunzel ran over to Elsa. They were both covered in burn marks.

"Anna who did this to you?" Kristoff asked.

"N-Near." Anna said before she fell unconscious.

Anna's eyes fell shut and her body relaxed.

"Anna wake up!" Kristoff said shaking Anna's shoulder.

Kristoff checked the pulse in Anna's wrist.

"There's no pulse." Kristoff said.

"Elsa doesn't have one either." Repunzel said.

Eugene went over to Drago and checked his pulse.

"Drago's just unconscious. He should come to soon." Eugene said.

"These burn marks are severe. If they don't get treated they'll probably die." Repunzel said.

Wil came sprinting into the room.

"What happened?"

Wil's eyes widened at the scene before him.

"What in the world?" Wil asked.

Wil ran over to Elsa and Anna.

"Move." Wil commanded.

Kristoff and Repunzel moved to the side.

"What are you doing?" Kristoff asked.

"Healing these burns before it's too late." Wil answered.

Wil held out his right arm and a blue lightning emitted from it. The lightning ceased and the burn marks on Elsa and Anna started to heal. The sleeve on Wil's right arm was rolled up slightly. Kristoff got a glimps on what seemed to be a tattoo. He saw the word Terra imprinted on his arm. Immediately after he marks were healed Wil rolled down his sleeve.

"So you finally got that down." Drago said walking toward them.

"You're awake." Kristoff said.

Drago noticed Elsa and Anna were unconscious.

"What happened to them?" Drago asked.

"Near." Repunzel answered.

Drago's eyes opened wide.

"Where is it?" Drago asked out loud.

"Where's what?" Eugene asked.

Drago growled.

"He took the book. This isn't good." Drago said.

"What's so important about a book?" Kristoff asked.

"That book contained information that will help Near make his plan come to fruition. We have to get it back before it's too late." Drago said.

"Hey Wil." Kristoff said.

Wil turnes to him.

"What's on your arm?" Kristoff asked.

Wil hesitated to answer.

"It's a formula. That's where I get my healing powers from." Wil answered.

"But then how does Drago get his?" Repunzel asked.

"My healing powers are natural. A perk from the Dark Hado. Wil's however are different. He studied under the Dark Hado but he also studied under a different form of the Elixir of Life. The tattoo on his hand represents the symbol for reconstruction. Which is how he heals." Dragon explained.

How does that work?" Eigene asked.

"When something is burned or charred or just bleeding in general the atoms and particles are broken down. With that symbol he can reconstruct the atoms and particles and restore the layer of skin." Drago explained.

"What do we do with them?" Repunzel asked looking at Elsa and Anna.

We wait. And hope that Near doesn't activate the spell." Drago said.

"He is your friend. Can't you talk to him?" Kristoff asked.

"As much as I'd like to I don't know where he is right now. And of all people I don't think he wants to talk to me." Drago said.

"I understand." Kristoff said.

"I know this is off topic but... I feel like he's not alone." Repunzel said.

"What do you mean?" Wil asked.

"He's not alone. I can just feel it." Repunzel said looking out the window.


Near had a pile of books next to him on a table with a pen in his hand. He had the book he stole from Drago in front of him.

"AAAAVVVVVAAAARRRRIIIICCCCEEEE!" Near shouted.

A man in a black cloak appeared across from him. He had red eyes and silver, spiky white hair. He was about the same height as Drago if they were to be compared side by side.

"I've told you a thousand times it's Greed. Not Avarice." The man said.

"I don't care." Near said.

"Well you did make me. You should have a name for me." Greed said.

"I made you from my avarice but you can call yourself whatever you want." Near said.

"Then it's Greed."

"Very well."

"So what do you want exactly. I know you wouldn't call me for no reason."

"I need information on the Elixir of Life. Where do you think I could find it?" Near asked.

"From all my travels I heard there was a secret library under the castle of the Southern Isles. But what do you need it for?"

"I'm trying to create a world of my own. And... bring back my father."

Greed laughed at the last part.

"Impossible." Greed said.

"Why is that?" Near asked closing the book and walking out of the room and onto the ledge of a cliff.

"Because I've seen people try. And they've all failed." Greed answered.

Near stopped walking.

"Before you turned me into this I heard stories about people who had attempted. One lost a leg and an arm. The other lost their entire body." Greed said.

"These people... are they still alive?" Near asked.

"No. They died a long time ago. In the ancient studies of the Elixir of Life." Greed answered.

"When they attempted this... did they accomplish it?" Near asked.

"No. What they created wasn't even human."

Near's eyes widened. Greed walked up next to him as they gazed out at the setting sun.

"So what will you do?" Greed asked.

"Im going to that library." Near answered.

"And what am I chopped liver?"

Near thought for a moment.

"I think I have something for you to do. Just to pass the time." Near said.

Blackness lifted them both off the ground.

"Do you see that kingdom there?" Near asked pointing.

"What about it?" Greed asked.

"There are people there I think you could have some fun with. I'll come get you when I'm done."

"Sounds like fun."

"Just be careful. I wouldn't want you dying on me now would I."

"In case you've forgotten I can't die. Not so long as I have this on me." Greed said looking at a red tattoo on his hand.

"I'll send you there. Have fun." Near said.

Greed disappeared into a vortex and Near was left alone.

"Off to the Southern Isles." Near said.

The blackness rocketed Near forward into the horizon of the sun.
