I do not own 'Frozen' or anything related.
Professor: Good morning, all of you readers, and welcome to the latest instalment of 'Frozen: What could have happened'. I'm sure you were expecting the Commentator to introduce this, but unfortunately he's - a little in dispose of at the moment.
Commentator: GROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!
(The Commentator was laying on a couch)
Professor: You see, a couple of days ago was the day before the premiere of 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens', and he got so upset over it that he went off on his own pub crawl across Anonymius' fanfiction, and so is recovering from a hangover. So myself and Sam will be responding to the reviews by ourselves. Let's see what we've got today.
(The Professor opened the shoot, and out pops four envelopes.)
Okay. Our first review is from judsonhorses:
This chapter is awesome! I like how elsa sort of softened when she saw her sister. I just wonder how olaf will react when he sees all his hard work smashed... oh, and I think I know who Anna is supposed to be :D
What? Oh no, the mirror she destroyed isn't the same mirror that Olaf had been fixing, that was a completely different mirror.
Sammy: Our second review is from Erinmilne:
Now guess which song is stuck in my head? ;) In all seriousness, I loved the peek into Elsa's mindset. Looks like she's a little torn between Snow Queen Elsa and Big Sister Elsa. My own heart has been warmed!
Professor: Ah yes. Well, her conversation with Olaf did arouse some old feelings. Now then, our third review is from - wait, what's that?
(There is suddenly rumbling, followed by music)
Hold on. Considering the sound of that music, I believe the words are something like "I'm - a - mo-ther-" OH NO, DUCK!
(The Professor ducks, shielding Sammy as a T-Rex's head bashes through the wall, and let's out a roar.)
T-Rex: Hey guys!
Professor: Teneko? What are you doing here?
Teneko: I heard the Boss was out of commission, and since you guys are responding to reviews again, I was wondering, can I respond to a review too? I mean it is a three man job and all!
Professor: Well...I'm not sure if Sir will approve-
Teneko: OH COME ON, PROF! I haven't done anything in like four years and the last time I had a chance to respond to a review, there weren't any! Besides as the Boss' second in command I should be responding to reviews as well!
Sammy: Wait? Hey Prof, I thought YOU the were Boss' second in command?
Professor: Actually according to the minion ranking system, Teneko is right, as the commander of the army he IS traditionally number two, whereas as his right hand scientist I AM actually number three.
Sammy: Oo oo! Where I am on the ranking system? Number four?
Professor: (Checking the list) Actually Sam, I believe you're number twelve.
Sammy: NUMBER TWELVE? Who the heck is above me?
Professor: Let's see, aside from myself and Teneko, there's Brainiac, Mortuus, the Doctor, Shadow Witch, Skull, Sludge, Gash and Handy. But you are above Scorpius, Quasi, Ben and Metallus.
Sammy: Yay! I remember those guys!
Professor: Ahem, of course Sir doesn't really go by the system much anymore so he just chooses you and me to be at his side.
Teneko: Oh come on, Prof! PLEAAAAAASE?
(The dinosaur stares at the Professor with big, watery eyes)
Professor: Sigh, all right, you can respond to one review.
Teneko: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! Let's see, this is from Guest:
Imthidjjfrhkddgvtjdgvth. Thank you for this love lovely thing
Aw, you're welcome, Guest! Although I can't seem to decipher what that first word means.
Professor: No one can. Now then - hey, what's that?
(The Professor can hear the patter of feet, until an alien looking creature with a brain for a head, eyes attached to long stalks, huge bat like ears and four legs (Who looks suspiciously alot like Mantenna out of She-Ra come to think of it!) crashes in.)
Brainiac: I heard the Boss was out of commission so I was wondering if you had any reviews you needed help with responding to-
Professor: All right, fine. Here's the last one.
Brainiac: YAAAAAAAY! This is from Randomness Girl:
I wanna think the guy in the mirror is Hans, just cuz that seems like something he would do. That or I hate his guts too much and... I don't remember what I was gonna say. Too busy watching Supergirl at the same time, and may have gotten a little distracted by a battle while typing. (By a little, I mean a lot after typing the word and) Also, will Elsa kill the guards for hearing her sing?
Oo, Supergirl! I've been wanting to watch that! But what's this about Hans being in a mirror or Elsa killing guards just for hearing her sing?
Professor: Brainiac, you do know what we're reviewing, right?
Brainiac: Not really, I just heard you were reviewing and jumped at the opportunity, why, what is it, some kind of Frozen Abridged with Commentary thing?
Professor: Actually it's an AU where Anna doesn't go to find Elsa and as a result-
Brainiac: GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASP! You - you mean you had the audacity to go ahead and CHANGE the plot of Frozen? Shame on you! Shame on all of you for being involved! I'm going to run away now and drown my sorrows in every drinking place I can find in Anonymius' fanfics!
(Brainiac runs out of the room crying)
Professor: Ahem, so to answer your question, no, she won't kill the guards just for hearing her song. She's not that cold and ruthless. If she was she would have slaughtered everyone listening. Okay, so here's the next chapter-
Sammy: Wait a minute! What about Boss' story?
Professor: Sam, we don't have time. Besides, you know he'll kill us if anyone else tried to tell his story. So here's the next chapter, 'Hanna's Story'.
Kai was fast asleep. A twig-like hand shook him on the shoulder.
"Psst! Kai?"
Kai stirred. He turned around to look at who it was.
"Olaf?"
"You need to get up."
Kai was confused.
"Okay," He said sitting up, "Is it time to continue with the mirror?"
"Forget the mirror! I'm going to get you out of here!"
"What?"
"Olaf, what are you talking about?" Kai asked, following the snowman down the steps, who was looking out for any guards.
"Listen to me, Kai. You are in grave danger."
"Danger? What are you talking about?"
"No time to explain! You need to leave!"
"Leave? Where am I supposed to go?"
"Anywhere! Far away from here! Go south. Keep going south until you find someone."
They came to the hall.
"Okay, there are probably guards out there, but that's okay! I know a-"
Suddenly snowmen guards started to appear, emerging from the passageways. Soon they were surrounded. The Snow Queen walked down from the steps.
"Oh Olaf. I knew you would trying something like this. You've always been soft."
"I can't let you do this, Mistress!"
"Olaf, what's going on?" Kai asked.
"Olaf here is a traitor," the queen told him.
She continued walking down, her eyes fixed on the little snowman.
"You said you love me, that you would do anything for me."
"Yes, I do, I would-"
"Liar. If you really loved me, then you would not betray me like this."
"It's because I love you that I can't let you go ahead with k-"
Olaf suddenly found himself unable to speak. The Snow queen had raised her hand.
"I brought you into this world, Olaf."
She stretched out her hand.
"And I can take you out of it."
A blizzard emerged around Olaf. Soon the different parts of his body were separated.
"Olaf!" Kai shouted.
He ran to his friend, but the guards blocked his path with their spears.
"Please!" He begged the queen, "Don't do this. DON'T DO THIS!"
Even the snowmen looked alarmed at what the Snow Queen was doing. She raised her hand. Just one more flick, and he would be nothing. Yet she found she could not move her hand. Why? Why couldn't she? Looking at the blizzard, she curled her hand into a fist. The blizzard disappeared, and Olaf fell to the floor.
"Nevertheless," She admitted, "I have not forgotten your long years of loyal service. So I will not destroy you."
Olaf looked up.
"Oh thank you! Thank you Mistress!"
"Instead you are banished."
The snowman's eyes widened.
"WHAT? NO!"
Olaf ran to the queen, and threw himself before her feet.
"Mistress please, not that! Anything but that!"
The Snow Queen turned away.
"You've always wanted to see summer, haven't you? So leave this place. Experience summer and die."
She started to walk up the steps.
"Mistress, please!"
He grabbed the ends of her dress.
"Don't banish me! Don't send me away from you!"
The dress slipped out of Olaf's fingers.
"Mistress please!" Olaf begged as the Snow Queen continued walking up the steps, "Please, I can't live without you!"
She stopped. The Queen turned around, and gave Olaf her coldest stare.
"Then leave."
Olaf opened his mouth as if to gasp, but no sound came out. The Snow Queen resumed her climb. Slowly turning his head away, Olaf started to climb down the steps. He walked across the hall his eyes on the floor, the snowmen guards staring at him. None of them looked happy to see him go. The snow bees buzzed a sombre tune. The doors opened for Olaf to exit.
"Olaf-"
Kai raised his hand, but Olaf raised his. He continued walking. By the time he reached the exit, he turned to look at the Snow Queen with watery eyes.
"Mistress?"
The queen remained at the top of the staircase, but she did not turn around.
"Elsa?"
Still all he saw was the back of her head. The emotion and hurt in Olaf's eyes were clear for all to see.
"Okay, bye."
And sadly turned away to leave.
Elsa's eyes bulged and she gave a little gasp, but no one saw or heard her reaction. The doors slammed shut.
"YOU HEARTLESS WITCH!" Kai shouted at her, "HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO OLAF?"
The Snow Queen turned to look at him
"Those who disobey or turn against me must be punished."
Kai had tears in his eyes.
"He - loved you." He told her as he shook his fist, "He really loved you, so much that he was willing to do anything you said, even if it meant sacrificing what made him happy! And how did you repay his love? BY TREATING HIM LIKE DIRT UNDER YOUR HEELS!"
"Enough, Kai."
"NO! How? How could you be so cruel to someone who loves you so much?"
"HOW COULD I?"
The queen now advanced towards Kai.
"Maybe you should ask that about yourself!"
Kai was confused.
"What are you talking about?"
"Nothing. Continue with the mirror, and let's discuss Olaf no further."
She turned away.
"So that's it, is it? Let's not speak about Olaf anymore? Pretend he doesn't exist? Didn't he mean anything to you? Did his long years of staying by your side mean nothing to you? HOW CAN YOU BE SO COLD?"
The queen stopped. She turned her head to look at Kai.
"I am the Snow Queen," She told him, "Snow is by nature cold."
Kai's fist shook even harder.
"That's you reasoning, is it? That just because people call you the Snow Queen, that because you can control ice and snow, that that naturally means you must act cold yourself? Well I hate to point a flaw in your logic, your majesty, but despite how you try to put yourself above us lowly mortals, you are human! A human who can control ice and snow, but a human nonetheless! And do you know thing about humans? They're WARM blooded, not cold! Olaf, he was actually made of snow, he was actually cold, and he was the warmest person I've ever known - AH!"
Kai clutched his chest, falling to his knees.
"If I was you, I wouldn't strain your feelings. It's not good for your heart."
Kai looked at her with hate and anger as the Snow Queen walked away.
While walking in a corridor alone, Elsa lost her step. Grabbing hold of a railing to steady herself, she clutched her heart, breathing heavily, the pain on her face clear. Standing up, closing her eyes, she breathed calmly in, then out, and opened her eyes, and she was the Snow Queen again. She continued walking.
The sun was now rising. Gerda, Hanna and Bae were preparing to the leave. Before they did so, Gerda hugged Grand Pabbie.
"Do you know what the Snow Queen wants with my brother?" She asked.
"That I do not. Long ago, I warned her that her powers would become stronger, and that fear would be her enemy. In the end, though, it seems her fear was too great."
"And do you know if I can save my brother from the mirror shard in his heart?"
"Again, I do not know. I'm sorry, child, I wish I could give you all the answers. But, I believe that love can thaw any frozen heart."
"Okay, Gerda, let's get out of here!" Hanna said, walking away, "All this love talk is threatening to make me hurl!"
The trolls waved goodbye to the group.
"What an incredible child," Grand Pabbie said.
Bulda looked at him.
"What do you mean?"
"Isn't it obvious? Look at how she is able to get perfect strangers to help her, how well she gets through the world? Because she is a sweet and innocent child."
Bulda looked up.
"They may not be enough against Elsa."
Grand Pabbie considered this.
The group had been travelling for some time.
"Did that all seem rehearsed to you?" Hanna asked.
Gerda looked up.
"What did?"
"You know, that song the trolls sung, like they knew we were coming, they knew what was being said, so they had this whole dance number prepared!"
"Maybe they just sung what came to them naturally?"
"Oh come on, it's not like talking when you can say whatever you like, with songs you have to make sure that it's going to rhyme, that it all follows the rhythem, no one just spontaneously erupts into song!"
"I have."
Hanna looked at her.
"Huh?"
"Oh yeah! I've spontaneously sang twice in my life!"
"-Really? What did you sing about?"
"Well the second time was about me leaving , at first all afraid, then embracing adventure and finding Kai."
"-And the first?"
"-I don't want to talk about it."
"No really, I want to know, what exactly was it that you the need to spontaneously burst into song-"
"It was about losing my brother, okay?"
"Oh. Sorry I asked. So what, at some point in your life you just felt the need to express what you were feeling in song?"
"Yep."
"And what you sang about was all in rhythm and rhymed?"
"I think so, yeah."
Hanna stared at her before turning away.
"Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight."
"My brother did the same once! I'm sure there are loads of places where they suddenly sing."
"If that's true, then I'm glad I live in the frozen north! So what exactly is your plan to rescue your brother once we get to the palace?"
"Oh, I'm going to talk to the Snow Queen."
Hanna caused Bae to stop.
"Hold on. That's your plan? To talk? You think you can talk to the Snow Queen?"
"Well I'm sure it won't be easy, but-"
"More like impossible! Kid, haven't I taught you anything? You can't reason with the Snow Queen! As I have told you a hundred times before, she is pure evil!"
"I know you said that, and I know you think that, but I still don't think she's evil. I just think she's very lonely. And when people are lonely over the years they can become hostile. But I think that if I can talk to her, if I can befriend her, then maybe I can get through to her, and maybe convince her to let my brother go."
Hanna frowned. She directed Bae down another path.
"Where are we going?"
"We're just making a detour. Don't worry, we can still make time to save your brother. There's just something I need to show you."
They had come to a cave. In it, Gerda saw what looked like ice statues. They were all of people who were terrified or in pain.
"What is this place?" Gerda asked.
"This is what the Snow Queen does to those who confront her." Hanna explained, revealing that they weren't statues.
They eventually came to a couple at the far end. Hanna got off and walked to them.
"Hi Mom. Hi Dad."
The blocks of ice Hanna were talking to were that of a man and a woman. The woman looked like she was charging forward, while the man was crouched down, his face full of despair.
"These are you parents?"
"Were. These are just their frozen bodies now.
I can still remember living in the palace, when there were people who weren't bandits. My earliest memory, I'll never forget. I was walking into a room, there was a man in a bed surrounded by others. My Dad was kneeling at his side.
"My time draws near," The man in the bed said hoarsely, "My regret is that I'll never see my home country again."
"Don't say that, Father!" Hanna's dad said to him, holding his hand, "You have to hold on."
"No, I cannot. I've lived longer than I should have. You must promise me, boy, to finish what we started. You must kill the Snow Queen."
"I-I don't know if we can-"
"You must!"
The man withdrew his hand. Although Hanna could not see his face, all his emotion she could see was expressed through his ancient hand.
"I tried to stop her, all those years ago, but she was too powerful. And because of that, I was stranded in this land, unable to return home, and unable to join the others who left. I could not stop her. But you can. Kill the Snow Queen... Bring back the su-u-u-mmer..."
The man's claw-like hand was tensed, before it loosened, and fell hanging to his side. Hanna's dad grabbed the hand.
"Alright, Papa," He pressed his against his forehead, "I swear."
My parents were the most wonderful people I knew. Full of kindness and warmth, I loved them more than anything in the world. Well, I might have loved my mother less when she was forcing me to learn to fight.
A young Hanna was practising to fence with her mother, a beautiful woman with long blond hair.
"No no, you're doing it wrong!" She was telling her, "Harder! Stronger! Be more agile, more flexible!"
"Mama, please, I'm tired!"
Hanna's dad was sitting down watching the pair spar.
"Maybe we should take a break?" He suggested.
"And with every break we take, the Snow Queen's hold on this land lasts longer, we cannot afford to take any breaks! Hanna, you must be strong, you must be tough, you must be resilient, you must do whatever it takes to win!"
Hanna was knocked to the floor from the force of her mother's push with her blade."
"WHY?" Hanna asked her mother, tears flying, "I don't understand!"
Her mother walked towards her.
"Why do we have to fight? I'm happy with everything we've got right now, with you and Papa and everyone here! Why do we have to fight the Snow Queen?"
Hanna's mother bent down to her. She offered her hand.
"Come, Hanna. Let me show you something."
She brought her to the atrium.
"You see that painting?" She pointed above, "Do you know what it's of?"
Hanna looked up. She nodded.
"That was the royal family of Arendelle."
Hanna's mother led her to the painting.
"And do you know who each of them are?"
"Yes. There's King Agnarr, that's Queen Iduna, Princess Elsa who would grow up to become the Snow Queen, and that little girl there is Princess Anna."
"That's right. Princess Anna. My mother."
Hanna looked at her.
"Your...mother?"
This was the first time Hanna was told this. Although she did wonder before why it was that everyone gave her such respect.
"That's right. My mother. So you see, Hanna, we are the last of the royals of Arendelle. We are the rightful rulers of this land, a land that must be thawed. And to do that, we must fight the Snow Queen."
There was something that didn't make sense to Hanna.
"But isn't the Snow Queen the rightful ruler of the land?"
"No. She ceased to be the true queen the moment she fled the kingdom, and abandoned her people. The crown should have then passed to her sister Anna, but she too abandoned this place, and led a great deal of the populace away, and didn't have the courage to maintain her royalty. So it is up to us to take the burden, to lead the people to freedom. So you see, Hanna, I'm doing this all for you."
Hanna's mother bent down and placed her hands on her daughter's shoulders.
"So that one day, all this will be for you. And you will also know the other seasons, not just winter. And that is why we must fight."
The two hugged each other.
Fighting the Snow Queen has never been exactly an easy task.
"Stay here, Hanna," her father told her when the group neared the Snow Queen's realm, "Stay out of sight. With any luck, we'll be back, and pretty soon, you will know what summer's like."
He stood up in front of the other men and women. facing forwards, he drew his sword.
"For Arendelle!"
And they marched.
First there are the snow bees, disguised as snowflakes, everywhere, which report any every movement. This can prove tricky.
"Look out!"
Hanna's father warned as a couple of snow men knocked a boulder over, which almost squashed the group.
And even if you somehow get to the palace, that is guarded by hundreds of snowmen.
Hanna's father led the army in a charge up the palace, confronted by the snowmen with their spears.
"Protect the Queen!" The lead snowman cried.
They fought, but most of the fighters were no match for the giant snowmen. A small band including Hanna's parents managed to get through, her father slicing through the snowmen and dodging their blows, one point managing to run up one of the spears that tried to strike him and knocked off the giant's head. This small band entered the atrium
And if by some miracle you get through them, there is still the Snow Queen to face.
They were met by the Snow Queen, who walked down the stairs.
"You are trespassing," She told them, "Leave at once."
The band readied their weapons.
"We're not leaving until we've done what we came here to do!" Hanna's father told her.
The queen reached the floor.
"I will not ask again. Leave NOW, or pay the price."
But the band was not so eager to turn back and run.
"Then I guess we pay the price," Hanna's dad said.
The Snow Queen's attire changed. Her dress was replaced with sparkling, ice made armour. Holding out her palms, ice swords extended themselves.
"So be it."
She moved with unnatural speed, striking an older man in front, meant to give the impression that he was the leader, to act as a pawn for Hanna's father. He turned to ice. The others tried to fight, but she was too quick, blocking multiple blows and striking back in return as she spun on the ground in different directions, and every time she struck her victims were encased in ice, until there were only two left. Hanna's father fired an arrow, but the Snow Queen raised her finger, turning it to ice and blasting hanna's father away. She turned to finish him off.
"Mistress, what's going on?"
Olaf had chosen that time to appear. Hanna's mother grabbed him.
"Stop!"
turned to look at. She held a dagger at the snowman's neck.
"Don't take another step towards him!"
The Snow Queen then moved towards her instead.
"Lower your weapons, or this snowman gets it!"
She held the dagger closer to Olaf's neck, desperation in her expression.
"Ah! Mistress! Save me!"
The sword in the queen's right hand vanished. She raised her hand.
"Do you really think I value one snowman's life?"
Flicking her finger, she sent an ice spike towards them. Hanna's mother instantly moved out of the way, while Olaf got pinned to the wall.
"Oh look," He said, testing the spike that had gone through his stomach, "I've been impaled."
Hanna's mother looked at her opponent. Realising that she had lost her bargaining chip, realised that she never had one to begin with, and that their chances of victory had gone, in despair she cried as she ran to the queen with her dagger. The Snow Queen opened her palm, letting out a blast of ice. When it cleared, Hanna's mother had been frozen.
"NO!" Hanna's father screamed. Running towards the queen, he roared as he held up his sword and brought it down at her neck. Having already heard him and saw him in the reflection of the floor, the Snow Queen calmly and slowly raised her finger to block the blow. In an instant, ice spread through the blade and an explosion sent him flying back, his sword broken in two. The Snow Queen returned to her normal dress. She walked towards the remaining invader.
"Stop...please..."
Hanna's father was crouched down. Tears were dropping on the floor.
"Stop the winter."
He looked up at the queen, his face full of grief.
"Please!"
The Snow Queen stopped. He swore she gave him an almost sympathetic expression as she bent down.
"Don't you see? I can't."
And she gripped his throat, ice encasing him. Flicking her finger again, the ice spike trapping Olaf reclined, letting him drop to the floor. The other snowmen entered the.
"Are you alright, Mistress?" One of them asked.
"Yes, I'm fine. it is over."
"What should we do with these?"
The Snow Queen walked up the steps.
"Dispose of them."
Th snowmen threw the bodies over the edge of the palace, where they landed on the ground, still intact. Some time had passed before Hanna came across them, wondering what had taken her parents so long.
"Mama? Papa?"
She came across her parents' frozen bodies.
"Mama? Papa?"
She tried to shake them but it was no good. They could not speak to her.
"Uncle! Auntie!"
She tried shaking the others, but got no response from them either.
"ANYONE!"
"After that happened, I dragged all the bodies the best I could here, where they would be safe, and returned to Arendelle, where I was all alone, until those bandits came. All alone, because of her, because the Snow Queen took my parents away, took away everyone I knew and loved, because they foolishly thought that they could defeat her, and end the eternal winter."
Hanna had her back turned to Gerda all this time. Rubbing her face with her arm, she turned to look at Gerda, but her eyes were still wet.
"You really think you can talk to someone like that?"
