I do not own any Frozen Tangled characters involved.
"Envy, bring however many sacrifices you can to me at once. We shall waste no time." Father said.
Envy immediately went to the surface.
"Pride and Gluttony I need you to bring Tenka as well. He needs to open the portal."
Pride and Gluttony went to the surface.
"Wrath go find Greed he might be trouble if we let him wander free."
Wrath went as well.
"Lust and Sloth, go find Agdar. He's away from Arendelle heading for The Southern Isles. I want you to find out what he's doing and if it's anything that will ruin The Promised day then stop him." Father ordered.
All the homunculi were out of sight and left father alone in his chair.
"It has begun."
The stone platform set Agdar down on the main entrance to The Southern Isles. As he entered two guards stopped him.
"Please let me through. I must speak with your King." Agdar said.
"You're Agdar of Arendelle right? What are you doing all the way out here?" A guard asked.
"That's for me to know and for you not to know. Now please let me through." Agdar said this time a slight bit more forceful.
The guards let him through. Suddenly, Lust and Sloth appeared at the entrance. Agdar turned to face them.
"Seriously. How do you keep doing that? You just somehow appear wherever we are." Agdar said.
"There are thousands of tunnels that connect the region. We could pop up anywhere. You're actually standing near one right now. Anyone can access them The real trouble is figuring out which tunnels go where. It would take years to actually figure your way around but that's the bright side with living forever and not having to eat or drink." Lust said.
"Hey! You two! Leave at once!" The other guard demanded.
"Of course we'll leave... just kidding." Lust said
Lust through his hand forward and his pointer and middle fingers stretched and went straight through the heart of the two guards who soon fell to the ground dead.
"Humans. They're so gullible." Lust said.
"What do you want?" Agdar asked.
"Well that all depends on what you're doing. If you're doing anything that will effect The Promised Day then we'll just have to take your philosopher's stone and kill you. If not then we'll just leave you alone." Lust said.
"Then no. What I'm doing has nothing to do with The Promised Day." Agdar said.
"Liar!" Lust shouted.
Lust's fingers stretched and aimed straight for Agdar. Agdar jumped out of the way and Lust's fingers smashed into the ground.
"You're quick for an old man aren't you?" Lust said.
Agdar kept a serious look. He suddenly felt something zoom by him. He was suddenly sent flying and slammed into the ground.
"What was that?" He thought.
Agdar turned his head and saw Sloth in a different place than he was.
"Impossible. How could someone of his size move like that?" Agdar asked himself.
"Your thought is right. I'm the fastest of all the homunculi." Sloth said.
Agdar stood up.
"He may be fast. But he can't control his movements." Agdar thought.
Agdar noticed the ouroboros tattoo on Lust's heart.
"That must be where the philosopher's stone is. If I could get it." Agdar thought.
Suddenly, Lust was engulfed in flames and he screamed in agony.
"What in the world is going on?" Agdar asked himself.
"Lust?" Sloth asked.
The flames ceased and Lust was burnt from head to toe. He looked straight ahead with eyes filled with rage.
"Impossible. I thought Pride killed you." Lust said.
"To hell with Pride. A familiar voice said.
Agdar's eyes opened wide with surprise.
"It can't be." Agdar said quietly.
Agdar turned his head and Drago walked toward them slowly holding his right hand in a snapping position.
"You die here homunculus." Drago said.
"You're all bark and no bite." Lust said.
Drago snapped his fingers again and the flames engulfed Lust and he screamed again. The flames died down and Lust's right arm dissolved into ashes but reformed seconds later.
"Really? I'd like to hear you say that over your screams of pain." Drago said.
Drago snapped his fingers again and flames made Lust scream in anguish. Sloth ran toward Drago in an attempt to intervene until spikes made of dirt came up out of the ground and stopped Sloth in his tracks.
"I don''t think so." Agdar said.
"Ow. It hurts." Sloth said.
Sloth struggled to break free while Lust continued to scream in agony.
"Please Drago, stop." Lust begged.
"I don't think so. You haven't suffered enough yet." Drago answered.
Drago snapped his fingers again and the sky erupted with screams of pain. The flames ceased and Lust started to dissolve into ash.
"Don't think you've won yet. Father is more powerful than all of you combined. You stand no chance against him." Lust said weakly.
Drago snapped his fingers one final time and Lust's body dissolved. All that was left was a red stone that soon broke and turned to dust.
"I thought you were dead." Agdar said.
"I thought the same about you." Drago responded.
"How did you survive? I thought the Dark Hado was taken from you."
"It was. But I have crystals that hold essence of the Dark Hado. I just put one into myself and I survived. However the power has to return to me before I can use it. So I'm stuck with this fire for now."
Sloth broke free of the spikes and his wounds reformed.
"It's such a pain. I make you pay for that." Sloth said.
"Drago, go to Arenelle. They need your help more than I do." Agdar said.
"You'll be fine on your own then?" Drago asked.
"Yes I'll be fine. Now go. Hurry."
Drago disappeared and left Agdar to face Sloth alone.
"Where'd he go?" Sloth asked.
"I think you have more important things to worry about." Agdar said.
Envy stood in front of Elsa and the others.
"Where's big brother? I thought he'd be here." Envy said to Rose.
"He sadly couldn't be with us right now." Elsa answered.
"Oh well. I guess three out of five will have to do." Envy said.
"Whoa Envy. Save some for Gluttony. He seems hungrier than usual today." Someone said.
Pride and Gluttony walked up beside Envy.
"Why are you here? I thought this was my job." Envy said.
"We were sent here for the fifth." Pride answered.
"And who would that be?" Envy asked.
"The one holding the fan." Pride answered.
Tenka adjusted his footing.
"Then we have four. Sloth and Lust are getting the fifth and it's only three in the morning. We're making better time than usual." Envy said.
"So Envy, why don't you go ahead and show us who you really are." Pride said.
"Why that's a great idea Pride. I think I will show my true colors." Envy said.
Envy turned to the group facing him and smirked wickedly.
"I'm gonna show you guys something cool before you die." Envy said.
Red lighting emitted from Envy's black. He started to grow and his skin started to take a green color. Elsa and the others looked up at the still growing figure. It looked like a gigantic dog that stood on four legs. All around its skin there were faces that all screamed in agony and pain. Everyone stared upward in horror. The overall size of the figure was scary enough but it was the human like figures that had eyes as black as the abyss that sent shivers down everyone's spines.
"What in the-" Anna said quietly.
Envy stood as his shadow devoured everyone underneath them. Envy's voice was different. It was deeper than before.
"This is the true me. What do you think?" Envy asked.
"That thing is huge. How are we supposed to fight that?" Kristoff asked.
"I-I don't know." Elsa answered with a shaky voice.
Envy lifted one of his gigantic feet and stepped where the group was packed together.
"Incoming!" Repunzel shouted.
Everyone jumped out of the way just as Envy's foot connected with the ground and left an enormous imprint on the ground in the shape of his foot. Elsa shot a blast of ice that hit Envy directly. He didn't even seem fazed by it
"It tickles." Envy said.
Elsa stepped back as she stared upward at the enormous beast.
"Elsa behind you!" Anna shouted.
Elsa quickly turned her head and saw Gluttony up in the air. Tenka jumped up and sent him flying with a single hit from his fan. He landed perfectly on his feet.
"Thanks." Elsa said.
"No problem. Watch out!" Tenka shouted.
Elsa turned her head back to face Envy and jumped out of the way in time to avoid collision with Envy's monstrous foot.
"Just stand still you annoying human!" Envy shouted angrily.
Envy's eyes suddenly bursted into flame. He roared in agony as the flames disappeared. With blurry vision, Envy stared in rage as a cloaked figure walked toward the group.
"Impossible." Pride said.
"It's quite possible." Drago answered.
Drago snapped his fingers again and all three homunculi were engulfed in flames.
"Drago? But how?" Anna asked.
"I'll explain later." Drago said.
"Damn you." Pride said.
Pride diverted his eyes to Gluttony.
"It looks like we'll have to get rid of some dead weight." Pride said to himself.
Shadows approached Gluttony silently. They suddenly lifted Gluttony up into the air.
"P-Pride. Wha-what are you doing?" Gluttony asked with fear.
A black mouth opened up and put Gluttony in-between the razor sharp and saw-like teeth. The teeth closed down on Gluttony and separated Gluttony's upper body from his lower. The lower half of Gluttony dissolved into ashes and flew away with the wind that carried it off into the sky. Shadows then lifted Gluttony's upper half back into the air and the pari of teeth came down on his head. Piercing the spot on his tongue that had the ouroboros tattoo. Gluttony's upper half dissolved and soon, there was nothing left of him at all. Everyone looked at Pride with stunned expressions.
"Why did he-" Anna started.
"Envy finish this. I'm going back to Father." Pride said.
Pride was elevated downward and left Envy on the surface.
"Looks like it's just me. I didn't need him anyway." Envy said.
Drago stepped forward.
"I think you'll be regretting that he ever left you in the first place." Drago said.
"What makes you think you can defeat me?" Envy questioned.
"I said to myself that I would avenge Wil. That I would tear down anyone or anything that got in my way. And now, Envy, since you're in my way... I'll start with you."
Drago snapped his fingers and Envy was engulfed in flames. He screamed and his size started to decrease. Envy's voice started to changes as he shrunk. Drago repeatedly snapped his fingers which continued Envy's symphony of screams. Elsa saw the hatred in Drago's eyes. Envy eventually returned to his normal size. Burns covered his entire body. Despite this, Drago continued his assault.
"Drago stop!" Elsa shouted.
Elsa ran over to him and grabbed his hand. Drago seemed to have snapped out of a trance.
"Why did you stop me?" Drago asked aggravatedly.
"Look at him. He's had enough." Elsa said.
Envy's body started to dissolve into ash. After Envy's body dissolved a small green, insect-like creature appeared on the ground. Drago walked toward it and picked it up in his hand. His grip was tight and the creature was squealing.
"You're so ugly." Drago said with hatred and disgust. "But I guess it makes sense. It's in your name. Jealousy is an ugly thing." Drago said.
Drago raised his other hand and put it in a snapping position.
"Drago no!" Anna shouted.
"Yes. Listen to them. Don't kill me." The creature begged.
"Who are you to beg for mercy!? After the pain and suffering you've caused us you're the last person to be begging. Not that you're even a person at all." Drago said angrily.
"That's enough!" Elsa said as she took the creature from Drago's grasp.
"Give that thing back to me Elsa. It needs to learn the true meaning of pain." Drago said.
"Revenge isn't the way to solve things." Kristoff said. "Just calm down."
Anna stared at Envy with sadness., so did Repunzel and Rose. Elsa's expression turned to one of sadness as well. Soon, everyone had sad expressions. Envy just stared at them.
"What are you all sad about? Are you all morons? Have you all forgotten what you've all been through because of each other? Some nice flowery, warm words. You make me sick to my stomach. Are you humans always such pathetic worms? Why can't you just listen to your gut and do what you want to. Anna have you forgotten? Your friend Drago here was about to kill you and your sister. And what's more, wasn't he the one who killed your parents too? And as for you, have you completely forgotten your hatred for the fulfillers of the prophecy? You'll never get another chance just fight each other already! This is the perfect time. The ultimate opportunity. Hate and weep. Kill and be killed fight each other. Grovel in the dirt. How could you fools hope to team up? Your all far beyond the point of making up. Right Elsa?, Anna?, Drago?, Kristoff?, Repunzel?, Rose?, Tenka?"
Envy looked around. Everyone was completely silent.
"Now I see." Elsa started.
Envy looked at her wide eyed.
"You're jealous. jealous of humans aren't you."
Envy just stared into Elsa's ice blue eyes.
"We humans, according to you were supposed to be nothing when compared to homunculi. And yet, when we're beaten down, when we stray and fall, we face the challenge again and again. Our loved ones are always there to pick us back up. And you're jealous. You envy us because of that." Elsa said.
Envy's expresión turned angry and he started to squirm in Elsa's grasp.
"Hey. What do you think you're doing. Hold on a second."
Envy bit Elsa's finger.
"Ow!" Elsa shouted.
Envy fell onto the stone pavement and struggled to gel his little self back up.
"Humiliated by humans. Those lower life forms. And what's worse, out of all the scum out there it just had to be you. Didn't it Snow Queen?" Envy said weakly.
Envy started to cry and everyone looked surprised.
"I was humiliated. Me. Envy. Jealous of you? Of you humans!?" Envy said in his high pitched voice.
Everyone just stared in surprise.
"I'm a homunculus. How could this stupid girl see through me?" Envy asked out loud through his sobbing.
Envy sat himself up and reached into his mouth.
"Let's see how this little alliance of yours holds up. And I hope for your sake it does." Envy said.
Something started to come out of Envy's mouth. A red stone. It suddenly exploded and Envy started to breakdown from the tail up.
"Goodbye." Envy said weakly.
Envy's body completely dissolved into ash and there was silence once again.
"So what do we do now?" Tenka asked.
"We go to the source. It's the only way to prevent whatever Father wants to happen from happening." Drago said.
Drago tapped the ground with his foot and a stone circle stood out.
"Where will this take us?" Elsa asked.
"Somewhere close to where Father is. We have to stall until Agdar is finished." Drago answered.
Drago looked up at the sky and saw the sun almost fully up.
"And we don't have much time." Drago said quietly.
Everyone stepped on the platform and it elevated downward. It seemed like time was flying by because the sun seemed to be losing its light. The citizens of Arendelle looked up and saw the moon start to overlap the sun.
Wrath wandered the woods with his sword out of its scabbard.
"Where are you Greed! Show yourself!" Wrath shouted.
"What do you want Wrath?" Greed asked, coming out of the shadows.
"Father wants you dead. So do I." Wrath answered.
"Does he? Well he can think again because you'll never defeat me." Greed said.
"We'll see about that!"
Wrath ran forward and swung his sword downward. It hit Greed's shoulder then the blade broke. Wrath jumped back and looked at the broken blade.
"What?"
Wrath looked at the tear in Greed's clothing and saw that was was underneath wasn't skin it was some kind of metal.
"So that's your ultimate shield. Impressive." Wrath said.
"It is. But I can't say the same for your ultimate eye." Greed said.
Wrath stared at Greed with unadulterated loathing. He threw his broken sword to the side and took out another one from another scabbard on his left side.
"You'll pay for that insult you traitor." Wrath said.
"Traitor? I never betrayed Father. I just have greater ambitions is all." Greed corrected.
"You're making me more angry by the second! I can't stand you! Everything about you is just aggravating!" Wrath shouted.
"Then I'm guessing you want to kill me?" Greed said.
"You're damn right I do!"
Warth and Greed ran toward each other. Greed ran so his arm touched the ground. Wrath thrusted his sword forward but Greed simply turned his body sideways and dodged the attack. Greed stopped sharply then ran in a different direction.
"What is he doing?" Wrath thought.
Greed ran in a different direction again. Soon he ended up back where he started the fight then he ran the opposite way he ran the first time.
"I don't know what you're doing greed but it's kind of stupid." Wrath said.
Greed stopped running mindlessly and ran toward Wrath and started to throw a barrage of punches.
"Stupid? I think your the one who's stupid Wrath." Greed retorted.
Greed jumped at least ten feet back.
"I don't know what you think you did but-"
Wrath looked down and was shocked to find that he was in the center of a star with a dot and a crescent moon in the center.
"Symbol for platinum. See ya Wrath. Nice knowing ya." Greed said.
Greed put his hands on the ground and the circle lit up and started to glow red. Lightning struck Wrath from all directions. The light of the glowing circle dimmed and Wrath started to dissolve. A red stone came out of his eye and it exploded and the remnants dissolved.
"Well that was easy." Greed said.
Greed looked up at the sky.
"There's not much time left." Greed said.
Greed tapped his foot on the ground twice and he was elevated downward.
"I guess there's no turning back now huh Eugene?" Greed said.
"You're right. There is no turning back. I just hope that everyone's ok." Eugene said in a depressed tone.
"I wouldn't be so down if I were you. I bet they're fine."
"I hope you're right Greed." Eugene said looking up.
The light up above faded the lower he got. Soon, there was no light at all and Eugene was consumed by shadows.
Sloth's body dissolved into ash and his philosopher's stone exploded and Agdar was left on one knee breathing hard.
"For someone so big he's so fast." Agdar said out loud.
Agdar tried to stand but his legs gave up on him and he just fell to the ground.
"King Agdar!" Someone shouted.
Agdar looked up and saw three guards running toward him.
"We'll notify King Topher of your arrival. You two, bring him to the castle immediately." One of the guards said.
The guard ran off to the castle while the other two held Agdar to stand and helped him walk to the castle. Waiting for them at the gate was King Topher and two other young men by his side.
"King Agdar?" Topher said questioningly.
Topher looked at Agdar suspiciously then looked at his guards.
"Get him into the castle at once. Put him by the fire place. I will meet you there shortly." Topher said.
Topher turned sharply and his long blue cape followed behind him. The two young men followed the king and the guards followed their orders and put Agdar by the fire place with a chair right across from him. Topher came in soon after with the two men still following him.
"King Agdar, thses are my two eldest sons." Topher started.
He motioned to his right.
"This is my oldest Cloves."
Cloves bowed and Topher motioned to his left.
"And this is my second eldest River."
River bowed and they both raised their heads.
"Leave us." Topher demanded.
"Yes father." They responded in unison.
The two young men left the room and closed the door behind them. Topher sat down in the chair across from Agdar.
"I want an explanation Agdar. I heard you were dead. It' been years since your funeral yet you're here in front of me. How is that possible?" Topher questioned.
"I can't explain. But I came here for a reason it's urgent." Agdar said.
Topher stood and went to the window.
"Sorry old friend. You must give me something in return if you want something from me." Topher said.
"Topher please. I'll explain it to you when I have the time but I don't at the moment. The fate of our region is at stake I don't have time." Agdar said slightly annoyed.
Topher thought for a second then turned his head to face Agdar.
"What is it you need?" Topher asked seriously.
Agdar gave him a piece of paper.
"What is this?" Topher asked.
"I don't have the time to explain Topher. Put this in the very back of your castle. I must go. It was a pleasure Topher." Agdar said standing.
Agdar walked out of the room and the door closed shut behind him. Topher looked at the door then looked at the drawing on the piece of paper in his hand.
"I have to put this in the back of the castle? I don't know what you're planning Agdar but I'll trust you." Topher said out loud.
Topher walked out the door and Cloves and River joined him.
"River, take this to the back of the castle, Cloves assemble the best guards in our military and send them to guard it." Topher ordered.
"Father it's a piece of paper." Cloves said.
"I don't care that it's a piece of paper just do as I say!" Topher yelled.
River and Cloves took off to carry out their father's orders. Topher recalled Agdar's words The fate or our region is at stake.
"I hope you know what you''re doing Agdar." Topher said to himself.
Topher looked out the nearest window and saw the moon start to overlap the sun.
Elsa and the others made their way through the dark tunnels. Occansionally they would all bump into each other and lose their way but eventually they came out of a tunnel that led them down a straight path.
"Where are we?" Anna asked.
"I'm as clueless as you are." Kristoff answered.
"Same here." Repunzel said.
"You guys are the ones with the magic. Make a floating light orb or something." Tenka said.
"That's actually a really good idea." Drago said.
Drago snapped his fingers and his hand was covered in fire that gave them some light. Anna held out her hand and it started glowing a bright golden color that lighted the way even more.
"I'm kind of wishing we thought of this earlier." Elsa said looking around.
The walls of the tunnels had blood stains on them that looked like they had been there for years.
"Was there a blood bath in here or something?" Tenka asked turning his head in all directions.
To his surprise there was blood on the ceiling as well. The water of the small river next to them had tinted red.
"I'm thirsty." Olaf said out of no where.
"Well there's a clean water supply right there. Be my guest." Tenka said.
Olaf ran over to the water while Kristoff and Tenka bursted into laughter. Olaf saw a pair of red eyes in the water and he ran over to Elsa and started tugging at the bottom of her dress.
"What is it Olaf?" Elsa asked.
"There's something in the water." Olaf whispered pointing at the place where he saw the pari of eyes appear.
"What could possibly be living in water like that?" Rose asked.
"He's right. There is something in it I can smell it." Tenka said.
"And yet we're just walking casually like there isn't something in blood water?" Repunzel asked.
"Can I just say that It wasn't my idea to come down here in the first place." Kristoff said.
"Elsa freeze the water." Drago said.
Elsa waved her hand and the entire stream froze in a mere second. The group stopped walking after that.
"Why are we just standing here?" Anna asked.
"Be quiet." Drago said.
They heard the sounds of cracking ice from all directions. Suddenly, animal-like creatures came out of the ice and surrounded them.
"What are these things?" Tenka asked.
"I've never seen animals walk on two legs before." Kristoff said.
"These aren't animals. They're a combination of animals and humans." Drago said.
"Do you think they're invincible like the homunculi?" Repunzel asked.
"No. I don't see the ouroboros tattoo on them." Elsa said.
The creatures bared their teeth and moved closer to the group.
"So what's the plan here?" Anna asked.
"Just kill these things as fast as you can. We don't have much time." Drago answered.
"That's not much of a plan." Kristoff said.
"Do you happen to have any other ideas?" Drago asked sarcastically.
"Not this second. No." Kristoff said.
"I think it's a little late for ideas. We'll just have to wing it." Repunzel said.
"No objections there." Elsa said.
"Oooh pooh what do I do?" Olaf asked jumping up and down.
"We could always melt him then bring him back later." Tenka said.
"That's not a bad idea." Eugene said back.
"Alright. Sorry about this Olaf." Elsa said.
Elsa waved her hand and Olaf turned to a puddle of water.
"I know this isn't the time but why doesn't that thing melt?" Tenka asked.
"Really? You had to ask that now?" Anna asked back.
"We'll explain later. We have more important things to worry about right now." Elsa interrupted.
The creatures charged at the group like a pack of wolfs going in for the kill.
"Why are there so many of these things? They won't stop coming." Tenka said as he was fending off a wolf like creature.
He hit the creature in the neck with his fan then sent it flying with a powerful kick to the stomach that caused it to knock over six or seven other creatures.
"Strike!" Tenka shouted.
Pain suddenly surged through Tenka's body and he fell to his knees and braced his stomach.
"Not now." Tenka thought.
He looked up and saw a creature in mid air with sharp claws. It was suddenly sent flying by a blast of ice.
"Thanks." Tenka said turning to Elsa who had her arm outstretched.
"You ok?" Anna asked.
"Don't worry about me." Tenka said smiling.
Tenka tried to stand up but the pain was too great and he fell down again.
"Tenka watch out!" Kristoff shouted.
Tenka looked up and saw a creature running straight for him. Despite the pain, Tenka moved out of the way and stuck his leg out and tripped the creature. He then hit the creature in a vital point in the neck and it fell to the ground still as a rock.
"This always happens at the worst time. I think this might be it. It was bad before but this is different." Tenka thought. "It has its fangs in me pretty good this time around. Might as well have some fun while I still can."
Tenka stood up not worrying about the pain in his abdomen. He ran toward a crowd of creatures and started to take them out one by one. Each one collapsed from one hit by Tenka's fan. In mere minutes the hoard of creatures were lying on the cold floor with their faces on the rough stone.
"Well that's that." Tenka said.
"Let's go. We have to hurry." Drago said.
Everyone walked further down the tunnel. Drago and Tenka walked slower and fell behind the group.
"You know don't you." Tenk said, more a statement than a question.
Drago nodded his head.
"I do, but why are you keeping it a secret? They might be able to help you." Drago said back.
Tenka shook his head and looked up smiling slightly.
"There's nothing they can do for me now. I didn't want to get them involved. They already seem to have so much on their plates right now anyway."
"You know about your impending death yet you're still smiling like everything's fine when it isn't. How?"
"You want the truth?" Tenka asked, looking directly at Drago.
"That would be nice." Drago said.
"Eventually you crash head on into whatever you're running from ready or not. I'm just happy I got a chance to meet these guys. They're all true friends to each other. They can't do wrong. No matter how hard they try. They all care deeply for one another. I'm glad I got to meet people like that. That's why, even when I knew in my heart of hearts things weren't gonna end well for me, I could still laugh." Tenka said.
"24 years isn't exactly what you planned is it?" Drago asked.
"Not exactly, no." Tenka responded.
"You're brave boy. I've never heard of someone who would stare death in the face like this. I'm impressed."
"When you know you're about to die what else are you supposed to do?"
"There is still time to save you Tenka." Drago said.
"It's ok." Tenka said back, surprising Drago.
"You want to die?" Drago asked.
"It's not that I want to. I just don't want to cheat death is all." Tenka answered.
Drago smiled slightly.
"Noble to the end." Drago said.
"Atually I need a favor from you." Tenka said.
This caught Drago's attention.
"If I'm not dead this thing will take over me. I need you to kill me." Tenka said.
Drago drew back.
"I can't." Draog said.
"You have too. For everyone's sake. Don't worry about me. Worry about everyone else." Tenka said.
"But everyone else cares about you."
"I don't care. You have to do this for their sake. And mine."
Drago stumbled for words. He then sighed.
"Alright." Drago said.
A hook appeared in Drago's right hand. He pulled his arm backwards as if it was being pulled back by a string. Tenka closed his eyes and mumbled under his breath,
"Thank you."
Drago thrusted the hook into Tenka's stomach and his screams filled the tunnels and echoed. Everyone up ahead stopped and looked back to see what had happened. They all ran and saw Tenka sitting up against the wall with a hole in his stomach and Drago standing by him with his hook covered in blood.
"What did you do?" Repunzel asked with an angry tone.
"I knew we shouldn't have trusted you from the beginning!" Kristoff shouted.
Everyone got ready to fight.
"Stop!" Tenka shouted.
Everyone looked at him.
"It wasn't his fault." Tenka said quieter.
"What are you talking-" Annastarted.
"I asked him to." Tenka interrupted.
Everyone stared at Tenka, shocked at the words that came out of his mouth.
"Why?" Elsa asked.
"Poison." Drago mumbled.
"What?" Kristoff asked.
"Poison!" Tenka said louder. "There's poison inside me that would have turned me into a monster. There's no way to cure it. Not even with your healing powers Repunzel."
"We can still seal the wound." Repunzel said.
"No! You can't!" Tenka shouted.
"Do you want to die?" Anna asked.
"Don't you people get it? I chose this! I'm protecting you! Can't you see that?!" Tenka said.
Hos voice echoed all throughout the tunnels.
"You all have to stop being selfless. I'm doing this for your own good. Go and stop this Father guy. Your time is running out." Tenk said.
"Are you crazy? We're not just going to leave you here." Kristoff said.
"Just go! I don't care what happens to me. Just finish this fight."
"He's right. We should get going." Rose said.
Repunzel looked at her shocked to the core.
"Mother we can't just-" Repunzel started.
"He chose this Repunzel. If this is what he wants then we should grant his wish." Rose interrupted.
"Mother." Repunzel said as if she couldn't believe what had just been said.
"Listen to your mother Repunzel. She's right. Finish this for me alright. I'm counting on you guys." Tenka said weakly. "You should listen Repunzel. I know you well enough to know that you can't just stand by while someone is hurt. But there are time when help is not requested. And this is one of those times. Oh and Repunzel, cherish your time with your mother. My parents were killed years ago. I don't want that to happen to you too. Any of you. Now go. Time is running out." Tenka said.
They all put their heads down and sprinted in the other direction. Repunzel stopped to look back once then continued her mad dash to catch up with the group. Tenka smiled a slight smile as he watched them disappear into the darkness.
"Good luck guys." Tenka said with the little strength he had left.
Tenka's eyes closed shortly after that and his head lulled against the wall.
The group found themselves in a dimly lit room with a chair in the center.
"This is it. We've been here before." Elsa said as she looked at her surroundings.
"Welcome my friends. I hope you're all prepared to die." Someone said.
A man stood from the chair and he stood on the top step that lead to his chair. He looked around then lifted an eyebrow.
"We're missing someone aren't we? Where could Tenka be?" Father asked.
Everyone gritted their teeth and clenched their fists.
"I understand. He's dead. Then I guess you'll have to do Drago. After all, you're a great candidate for sacrifice. As for you two... rest in peace or pieces." Father said.
Father threw his arm forward and Rose and Kristoff were hit with a strong wind that slammed into a wall on the other side of the room.
"Mother!" Repunzel shouted.
"Kristoff!" Anna shouted after Repunzel.
The two of them ran to the aid of their friends and family.
"You humans. Always aiding the helpless and weak. What will it take you to realize that the world is meant for the strong. Those two are mere insects on the ground meant to be squashed." Father said.
"You're a coward." Elsa said.
"What was that?" Father asked.
"You threaten our loved ones and friends to get to us. It's cowardice. The almighty Father resorting to tactics like this is just shameful. It sounds like something a human would do." She continued.
"I'm not a human if that's what you're saying." Father said.
"Then what are you?" Elsa asked.
Her voice echoed in the large room.
"Tell me Elsa, do you know why snow is white?" Father asked.
"What does this have to do with anything?" Elsa asked back.
"Answer the question." Father said more forceful.
"No. Why?"
"It's because it's forgotten what color it's supposed to be. The same concept with me. I don't know who I am anymore. But I know who I will be. And that is the god of this world." Father said.
"I thought a god had natural power. Not power that was taken from millions of people." Drago said.
"A million people is a small price to pay for ultimate power." Father said back.
"You're a monster." Anna said.
"Funny. I recall someone here being called that many times the day of her coronation. Isn't that right Elsa? You all were there. You all remember. You saw the scene at the fjord. Only a monster could hurt a family member. Especially someone as close to you as your sister. Her sins are too great to atone for. For 13 years she shut you out Anna. She didn't see your pain and sadness. She never did and she never will. Now you have a burden as well. You lost her once already. How would it affect you if you lost her again? Hmm. I wonder. But we won't have to wait for long to find out." Father said.
Anna's eyes widened and she ran and stood in front of Elsa protectively.
"I won't let you hurt her." Anna said with her arms spread out blocking Elsa.
"How touching. You both have debts to each other. If only you could just wish upon a star and all your dreams would come true. But you know what they say, wishes come true not free." Father said.
"Stop trying to turn us against each other!" Repunzel shouted.
"It won't work on us." Drago added.
"I wasn't trying to turn anyone against each other." Father said.
Shadows suddenly pierced through Drago's hands and feet. They all turned and saw Pride standing directly behind Drago. Drago fell on the ground and landed on his back.
"Dwarf in the Flask!" Someone shouted.
Father looked at the doorway and Agdar came sprinting through it.
"Your timing couldn't have been better Agdar. Now, it's about time I put you to work my sacrifices." Father said.
Five steel pipes grabbed Elsa, Anna, Repunzel, Agdar, and Drago and a glowing blue circle lit up underneath them.
Outside, the moon had almost overlapped the sun. Everyone was watching the eclipse when suddenly the sky darkened and the souls of everyone in the region were getting sucked right out of them. Every single one poured into Father and a bright flash of light blinded everyone. When they reopened their eyes Father was sitting in his chair normally but he didn't look as old.
"What happened?" Anna asked.
"He took the souls of everyone in the region for a philosopher's stone." Agdar answered.
"The whole entire region?" Repunzel asked wide eyed.
"How many people were sacrificed for this?" Elsa asked.
"At least 17 million people." Agdar answered.
Elsa drew back at the enormous number. Anna looked back and saw her mother and Kristoff sitting unconscious against the wall.
"Kristoff!" She shouted as she ran.
She knelt beside the unconscious ice harvester.
"Kristoff! Kristoff wake up! This isn't funny! Wake up!" She shouted.
"I wouldn't bother. It's futile. His soul is mine and he's dead. You won't be seeing him again." Father said.
Anna's heart sank and she pulled Kristoff's head close to her chest.
"No." She whispered.
Father stood confidently.
"It's time to end this. Once... and for all..."
Hey guys. Sorry about the wait. Just some notice, the next chapter probably won't be up for a while, reason being I have a little research to do on something before I write it. And for those of you who caught it there are some references to Into The Woods, Wicked, and Newies, (if you count the last part). Thumbs up if you got it. Anyway, thanks for reading.
