I do not own 'Frozen' or anything related.
Commentator: Welcome back my non-fairy tale and snow queen wannabe friends to the latest instalment in 'Frozen: What Could Have Happened'! Before we begin let's take a look at the reviews you've sent us. PROFESSOR! OPEN THE SHOOT!
(The Professor does so, and out pops four envelopes)
Right then! Our first review is from ErinMilne:
Yes! Guessed right first time! I happen to know that Hans's character was based on the Evil Mirror from the original Snow Queen story. I'm so so so so glad you actually made him evil! Have you seen the fics out there that try to redeem the guy?! Yeesh! Sorry, got a little passionate there ;) Back on track here: I was impressed with the quality of the writing, as usual. Hans's words in bold were a nice touch. I bet Hanna is going to kill him!
There are people who have written stories trying to redeem Hans? Oh those poor, poor people still hooked on Hans despite his revelation!
Professor: (Sir, you really shouldn't make fun of people who are potentially our readers! Also) Didn't Anonymius once conceive a sequel story where Hans tries to redeem himself -
Commentator: It was ambiguous whether it was genuine! Ahem, so next review!
Professor: Our second review is from Randomness Girl:
Wow, intense. And I knew it! I knew it was Hans in the mirror!
Is it weird that last night, I had a dream about this fanfiction, where when the mirror was put together, the pieces came off to form Hans, then Hans emprisoned Elsa in ice, and then he killed all of the snowbeed and snowmen, then I woke up and checked my email and saw that you uploaded a new chapter?
Commentator: You know, I do think Anon made it a bit TOO obvious that the man in the mirror was Hans.
Professor: How so, Sir?
Commentator: You know, that line where Grand Pabbie says that he was very assuring and seemed most sincere. Seemed like something Hans would be.
Professor: I see.
Sammy: Our next review is from Samantha:
Thank you for the last and this chapter!
Aw, you're welcome, Samantha!
Commentator: And our final review goes to (Hmm, let's see, which minion should it go to this time?). PROFESSOR! PULL THE LEVER!
(The Professor does so, causing a slot like machine to be active)
Professor: Let's see. Our final review goes to Sludge.
(An elephant's noise is heard as one crashes in, with some kind of alien creature that looks like a large, green tube with small tubes for eyes and long strings for arms on top, one of which grabs the envelope and opens it)
Sludge: Our final review is from a Samantha Cecilia:
Thank you for this chapter!
You're welcome, Samantha.
Commentator: And with about four hundred words to go, it's time to continue with my story! Ahem:
Kai realises that he misses Gerda, who at the same time is singing the same thing.
Professor: (So now you're stealing from 'The Swan Princess', too? Sir, have you no shame? At least rip off something that's good)
Commentator: So later the bandits are paid by the queen to capture Gerda, and take her, the maiden and the reindeer to their castle where they imprison them, they manage to escape, and be on their way.
Thinking that his feelings for Gerda are distracting him, the Snow Queen kisses Kai on the forehead, removing his memories of home (Oh that's right! I forgot about one kiss before to protect him from the cold! Maybe before that musical number?)
Anyway the trio meet the Finnish woman, who sings a song, gives them advice, sends them on their way, they infiltrate the palace fighting off the snowmen guards, find Kai, who has no memory of Gerda, the Snow Queen fights them off, Kai finishes the mirror, the queen cackles "You're too late!" Everything starts to freeze, Kai remembers Gerda but before they can unite the queen turns him to ice, Gerda cries "NO!" The queens turns into an ice dragon -
Professor: (What is it with you and ice dragons?)
Commentator: (Me? It's these Disney sorcerers that have a thing about turning themselves into gigantic versions at the end!)
Professor: Huh. That is true (images of Maleficent, Madam Mim, Ursuala , and Jafar fly by), that does seem to be a trend for many of these Disney sorcerers. I wonder what Grimhilde would have turned herself into?
Commentator: So yeah, the queen is about to destroy them, all hope seems to be lost, Gerda kisses Kai, and the power of true love's kiss not only thaws him and melts the shard in his heart but by 'Once Upon A Time' logic sends a blast of that causes everything to melt.
Professor: (Um, Sir, 'Once Upon A Time' came out in 2011, so how would this fit with this being a nineties film?)
Commentator: (I don't care!)
So everything starts to melt, the queen is like "I'm melting! I'm melting!" And she melts, the mirror is destroyed, spring comes to the land, and all the snowmen return to normal, because it turns out they were actually people the queen turned into snowmen!
Professor: (Really?)
Commentator: (Just go with it! Besides, we couldn't have a comic relief character killed off!)
Professor: (really? So what does unfrozen Olaf look like?)
Commentator: (Kindof like Lefou.)
So anyway, Kai says he's sorry, he kisses Gerda, they -
Clock: TING!
Commentator: Ah. I've never been more happy to hear that ting! Still annoyed that I haven't been able to finish my story, though!
Clock: I'M JUST GLAD TO BE FINALLY BACK IN A JOB.
Commentator: So here's the next chapter, 'Sacrifice'!
Hanna roared as she charged at the Ice King, who calmly walked towards her. As their blades clashed, Hanna thought about how all her life she had been taught about an evil ruler, a self-proclaimed master of ice and snow, a cold hearted villain who would stop at nothing before all the land was frozen. And she was told that villain's name was the Snow Queen, but now Hanna realised that the pure evil sorcerer she had been raised to hate and fight was not Elsa at all, but the man in front of her.
"Do you really think that a peasant bandit is any match for someone of royal blood?" The Ice King jeered as he pushed his blade towards her, "Do you think yourself as some sort of hero, meant to defeat the big bad villain, and free the land of his tyrannical rule, just like your parents did?"
Hanna struggled against the Ice King's strength, made even worse by the mentioning of her parents.
"No. I'm no hero. I'm just a girl who's doing what is right. All my life whenever someone was in need, I just looked the other way. It took a reindeer to even nudge me in their direction. I always hated it when he did that, preferred he just left me be to my decision. But now I know that he was doing me a favour. That the reason it bugged me so much was that deep down, I actually did care, that I wanted to help those in need, but I was too selfish and concerned with my own well being to even try. Well no more! I will never look away from someone in need ever again!"
She pushed Hans back.
"And not that it's any of your business, but I'm no peasant. I am the daughter of Johann, son of Johann Duke of Weselton, and Agna, daughter of Princess Anna of Arendelle!"
The Ice King stared at her.
"What?"
Elsa looked up.
"What?"
The truth revealed, Hanna gripped her sword.
"Yeah. That's right."
Hanna turned to look at Elsa.
"My grandmother is your sister."
Elsa gasped.
"Hanna! Your grandmother was Princess Anna?" Gerda exclaimed.
"Anna is you grandmother? But that means - Oh."
the Ice King looked away from Hanna.
"Oh!"
He started laughing.
"What's so funny?"
"Nothing. It's a private joke. Not for your ears. Although I am curious. I know that Anna had at least one daughter, but how do you fit in the mix?"
Elsa managed to stand up, looking at her great-niece.
"My mother," Hanna started to explain, "left her home village when she came of age. She wanted to reclaim the land that she felt was rightfully hers."
Elsa tried to comprehend the information given to her.
"So...that means...that means -"
Elsa thought back to the young woman who threatened Olaf out of desperation for her husband, who then lunged at her.
"NO!" Elsa raised her hands to her face, "OH NO!"
"OH YES!" The Ice King laughed, "You froze your own niece! Your beloved sister's daughter AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh this is good, this is just too good!"
"Stop laughing!" Hanna shouted.
"Oh, but it's hilarious. It's like a huge joke, your family. One sibling like ice, doomed to abandon home, and break the heart of the younger sibling! A joke that repeats itself over and over again!"
Hanna slashed at him, but the Ice King grabbed her blade.
"And by the way," He told her as he gripped it, "I hardly call the offspring of an ice harvester on one side and whatever Weaseltown had to settle for on the other true royalty."
He smashed the blade, pieces, flying everywhere.
"It's pronounced 'Weselton'!"
"No."
The king grabbed Hanna by the throat.
"Weaseltown sounds about right."
He lifted her in the air.
"Hanna!"
Gerda tried to go for her friend's aid.
"Gerda, no!"
Kai stopped her, holding her down.
"Now this seems familiar, hmm, let me think," Hans tapped the mouth piece of his helmet, "where have I seen this before? Oh yes, now I remember!"
He held Hanna close to his eyes.
"This is exactly how your father went out! You see, young Hanna, it's not just Elsa's power I've taken. It's her memories too. And I remember how she without mercy gripped your father's throat as she encased him in ice. Personally, I think a slow freeze is much more fun."
Ice spread from his fingertips, slowly covering Hanna. She tried to struggle, but couldn't get out of his grip.
"Hanna, no! Let go, Kai!"
Kai would not let go. The trolls, pigeons and bees were too battered to help, the snowmen too occupied with the Ice Warriors and getting cut down. Bae, awakening, saw his friend in need, and tried to crawl towards her, but was too weak to make it in time.
"Gerda, no!"
"We have to help her!" His sister told him.
"Just charging in won't do her any good! We need to think of a plan!"
"You know," He looked straight into Hanna's eyes. "I think I'll pay Anna a visit once I'm done here. And as a late wedding present, I'll present every last of her issue as popsicles."
The ice now covered all of Hanna's body, and was now crawling up her neck to her head. A blast of ice impacted Hans, causing him to drop Hanna. The ice surrounding her smashed, but she herself was fine as she coughed. Elsa walked towards Hans.
"Get your hands off my niece."
She sent another blast at Hans, knocking him over. He looked up. His armour was damaged, with part of the helmet gone exposing his left eye and part of his face.
"It seems the Snow Queen has finally recovered!" He laughed, standing up, making another broadsword appear in his hands, "But you should know, Queen Elsa, that there can only be one ruler of ice and snow."
Elsa changed in her armour outfit. She extended her ice swords.
"I completely agree."
She zoomed at him. Hans brought down his sword, but Elsa blocked him. Moving around him at super speed, she struck him at all angles, chipping away at the armour. Hans tried to fight back, but when his blade did strike it only met Elsa's own. Eventually Elsa came at the front again, when Hans brought his sword down at her, causing Elsa to block it with her two.
"You really think your little swords are any match for mine?"
"It's not about how big your weapon is."
Ice spread from Elsa's swords through Hans'.
"It's how you use them!"
Crossing her swords, she cut off the blade of Hans' sword. Backing away, enraged, he unleashed another stream of ice. Elsa let out her own. Hans brought up both hands, while Elsa remained holding up just one. The Ice King screamed as he was overwhelmed with ice. The impact sent him crashing into the floor, his helmet destroyed. Elsa strolled towards him.
"You're no true ruler of ice and snow, Hans," Elsa told him, "You're nothing more than a mimic. A cheap imitation."
Hans laughed.
"Well, what can I say? Mimicking others has always been my speciality. Maybe that's why I was so suited as a mirror, I've been one all my life. After all, the one you respond to the most, the one you can most relate to, is yourself. It's why we seek out those who are so like us. Take your sister for example."
Elsa lowered her weapons at the mention of Anna.
"Poor little orphan Annie, all alone in the world, everyone she loved had left her. Then one day this handsome prince walked into her life, a man who seemed just as goofy and zany as she was, a man who seemed to think just like her, a man she instantly fell in love with, a man who she thought "At last. Here is someone I can make a connection with, someone who would not leave me or shut me out!""
Hans laughed.
"You should have been there on the day I ended things with her! I remember it like it was yesterday. We were on the balcony, overseeing the kingdom, she walked up to me, and said, "Well, the kingdom's a mess, but I'm sure together we can help the people pull through!"" He mimicked Anna in a cruel and exaggerated way, "And I was like "Anna,"" He now spoke in a way quite unlike himself, more kind and softly, "We need to talk." As I gripped the balcony, she was like "What is it, Hanny?" That was a nickname she was trying on me. Anyway, I turned to her with a serious look on my face, and I said "I'm sorry,"" He spoke again in that soft voice, which was more like what he had when Elsa met him, ""I thought I could look pass it, but I - I -""
It was horrifying how he was able to act like a person who was actually struggling.
""I can't be with you anymore." And she was like "What? I - I don't understand." You should have seen the look on her face, the way a single tear drop ran down her face when I told her that "I can't be with someone with such a monster for a sister." And she backed away, saying "I thought you understood!" "I tried to be understanding, but I'm sorry, Anna, but look at what your sister has done! And for all I know, given that you're sisters, you must have the same cold blood in your veins as she does." She actually gasped at that. So I turned away, finished by telling her, "I'll be leaving soon. Try to find somewhere that isn't frozen, so that I can return to my homeland." So I walked away, and she grabbed my arm, pleading me to stay, wailing, "Hanny! Hans, please don't go! Please, you're all I have left, I can't lose you too!" And I tried to get off, but she wouldn't let go, saying, "HANS, I LOVE YOU!" At which point I turned to look back at her, smiling, brushed a strand of hair on her forehead away, and I said, "Oh Anna. If only there was someone out there who loved you.""
Elsa gasped, tears threatening to pour, her face a mask of a mixture of horror and grief. And she was not the only one, everyone who heard Hans' story had a horrified look on their face, especially Gerda. Why was it that what Hans told Princess Anna sounded so familiar? It was then that she remembered. Kai, when still possessed by Hans, had said something similar to her, the last time she saw him, before he was kidnapped, when he tried to walk away from her and she expressed her love for him, and he turned to her smiling and said "Oh Gerda. Who could love a-" what he said was not something she liked to remember, and although it sounded crueller than what Hans said to Princess Anna, there was still that underlying similarity.
"Then I left her on the floor after that. You should have heard her crying! She had completely given her heart to me, and I crushed it. I really doubted that she could have opened herself to anyone else after that -"
Elsa screamed, blasting her ice at Hans. Standing up, he was easily able to block the blast with his hand this time.
"See I may not be a natural like you, but one thing I do know is that with ice powers, you need to have a cool head."
He flicked his wrist, blasting her away. He shot ice at her wrists and ankles, so that she couldn't move or use her powers.
"You know, you really have yourself to blame."
Hans looked down at her.
"If you hadn't frozen Arendelle we could have been so happy."
Elsa looked defiant at her captor.
"If there is one good thing that came out of the winter," She told him, "One thing I am glad about, is that at least my sister didn't end up with a cold-hearted psychopath like you!"
Hans frowned.
"I'll tell her you said that."
He placed his foot on top of Elsa, more ice trapping her.
"I'll tell all about what happened to her beloved sister afterwards. Tell her how over the years, Elsa completely abandoned humanity, tried to forget all she felt about her family, including her, how over the years she became a cold-hearted, ruthless witch who treated a poor little snowman like he was nothing and how she was willing to even kill a child just to get what she wanted! Then we'll see if she can still defend you after that, before I tell her that I stabbed her through her heart."
He made an ice cutlass appear in his hand.
"I was hoping to drain more of your power, but I guess what I already have will do."
"Queen Elsa, no!"
Kai ran to her, but then stopped himself, remembering his own advice.
"Hanna!"
Gerda ran to her friend.
"Hanna, you have to do something! He's gonna kill Elsa!"
Hanna looked at her weapon.
"I'm sorry, Gerda, but there's nothing I can do. I've got nothing to fight him with. I'm sorry."
Bae, weakened and antlerless, crawled towards her. Kai looked around. There was no one left to fight, no one to save Elsa. The last standing snowmen were being slaughtered by the Ice Warriors. The trolls, pigeons and snow bees were still in no condition to fight. Hans raised his sword.
"Now I will be the ruler of ice and snow!"
And plunged it.
"NO!"
Hans met contact, but it was not at Elsa. Olaf had thrown himself between them, taking the blow instead.
"Ow. My brain hurts."
Hans tried to shake him off.
"Get off of my blade, you ridiculous snowman!"
He threw him off, where he slid above the chandelier. Hans raised his finger and flicked it. The chandelier snapped off. Olaf got up.
"Elsa?"
The chandelier crashed on top of him. As the snow cleared, a carrot rolled over to where Elsa was. It took a moment for the fact to sink in.
That Olaf had been crushed.
"NO!"
"OLAF!" Gerda screamed. Everyone had a look of horror on their face, the snowmen, the bees, even Hanna and Bae.
"OLAF NO!" Kai screamed, his best friend crushed.
"Well that was a pointless sacrifice," Hans remarked, "He only gave you, what, a few more seconds to live?"
The ice below Elsa started to crack, as a blizzard swirled around her and Hans, and the howl of the fierce blizzard was her howl. Elsa broke free of her bonds, standing up. Hans realised that he didn't have much time to subdue her. He gripped her throat, trying to strangle her to end the storm. She fought against her grip, but could not break free. Kai realised that she did not have enough time, but what was there to do? What could he do? He looked at her sister, crying over Olaf. Once Elsa was gone, there would be no one left to stop Hans, stop him from freezing the entire world, from extending his icy rule over everyone, from killing everyone here, including his sister. No, he had to do something. He had to do something to save everyone he cared about. But what could he do? What could a thirteen year old boy do against a man who had the power to create and control ice and snow? Looking around, his eye caught the mirror, where he noticed something. It was only for a moment, but he saw Hans' image appear in the mirror. He thought back to how he stopped the trolls from hitting the mirror. And that's when he realised.
"He's still linked to the mirror!"
With nothing for it, he ran towards the mirror.
"Kai, where are you going?" Gerda asked.
Kai grabbed a mace from one of the fallen Ice Warriors.
"Don't worry, your majesty," Hans told Elsa, "I'll send you to your snowman. And soon, I'll send your sister too."
As he pulled back the sword, Hans saw in the reflection Kai running. Turning around, he saw him running towards the mirror. Oh, you worked it out, did you? Hans thought. You always were a clever boy, Kai. I'm glad I chose you to put me back together. Hans was amused how Kai wanted to play the hero. But he knew what happened to heroes. Pointing his sword at him, Hans changed his sword to a crossbow. Elsa tried to warn him, but Hans' grip prevented her from saying anything. As Kai neared the mirror, Hans aimed for his heart. It wasn't too hard to do. He after all had lived in his heart for the past four years.
Hans fired.
The ice bolt struck Kai through the heart.
It was as if time had slowed down.
"KAI!"
Gerda was barely aware of her own screaming as she ran to her brother.
"KAI, NO!"
Falling to his knees, Kai then fell to his hands. Elsa also tried to scream his name, as everyone around saw what had happened. Gerda reached her brother.
"NO! NO!"
Hans smiled.
"Ah, fools, what hope did you have?" The Ice King asked, "What power did you have to stop me?"
Gripping the mace, Kai managed to get up.
"What? He's still alive?"
Kai staggered forward towards the mirror.
"Stop!"
Hans fired again into his heart, but Kai kept moving.
"No!" Hans shouted, "Stop! STOP!"
His voice betrayed panic. With every bolt he fired, Kai's hair turned more white, but he kept walking. Now looking terrified, Hans let go of Elsa and ran towards Kai. making a large ice axe appear in his hands, Hans roaring as he raised it above his head when he was close enough to Kai. He brought it down.
With all his strength Kai swung the mace into the mirror.
Hans screamed. He dropped his axe as he clutched his stomach. Kai turned to look at him.
"That was for Olaf!"
He swung the mace again. Hans watched cracks appear across his body, light pouring from them.
"No!" Hans shouted, "Stop!"
"And that was for Elsa!"
He swung the mace again.
"For Princess Anna!"
And again.
"For my sister!"
With every hit, he added more names. The Snow Bees, the snowmen. Gerda's friend and her reindeer. The trolls, the pigeons, and then he added the names of those from his village; his grandmama, his papa, his mother, his friends and everyone from the village, everyone that Hans had made him hurt. The cracks appearing larger, a furious Hans stretched his hand towards Kai, planning to stop him permanently. Kai turned to give him one last look.
"AND THIS IS FOR ME!"
Kai swung the mace so hard that it caused the mirror to fall into the chasm below.
"NO!"
Hans tried to grab the mirror, but it was too late. He stared at himself, as he was unable to stop himself from cracking.
"No! Not again! Not again, no!"
Below, the mirror hit some rocks.
Han's left shoulder flew into pieces.
"NO!"
The mirror hit more rocks.
"NO!" Hans screamed as he lost the right part of his body. Looking up Hans roared.
The mirror found the bottom and shattered.
Hans exploded into a million pieces, his screams echoing throughout the hall. His shards fluttered down like snowflakes, before disappearing.
