Chapter 3: World So Cold
Now the dark begins to rise

Take the path that leads to nowhere
~Breaking Benjamin- I Will Not Bow~
North Mountain, Arendelle
Elsa's sleep was abruptly disturbed when weird and strange sounds began popping up in her dream. When she woke up, she thought they were just part of the dream, but to her surprise she could still hear them. She rubbed her eyes and pushed herself out of bed. "What is that noise?" she muttered as she followed it. The sounds led her to the room William was in. When she walked in she saw William, who seemed to be fidgeting with something.
"God damn it." said William as he was trying to communicate with the others, when they left they're hideout all 6 made sure to pack up their earpiece in case of any situation. So far he was getting nothing but static.
He wanted to make sure his team was safe, wherever they where. "Shit." William just threw the earpiece on the bed. he turned as saw Elsa standing in the doorway. "Hey Elsa." he gave a small wave to her.
Elsa waved back and then ask William "What is that thing?"
William turned to his bed and picked up his earpiece and showed Elsa the communication device "This is a military grade earpiece, all 6 of us have one, we use this to communicate to each other when we're far away from each other. I tried to see if I can contact my teammates but as you can see" he pressed the button and the device gave a static sound 'I'm having no luck whatsoever." he then threw the earpiece to his bed.
" Can I try it?" asked Elsa.
William turned to her "I don't see why not." he grabbed the device and handed it to Elsa
"Incredible." said Elsa as she felt the earpiece "How do you use this thing?" asked Elsa trying to learn how to use the device.
"See that white button?"
Elsa then saw the white button "Yeah I see it."
William made a button pressing motion with his fingers "Press it." Elsa then pressed the button only to her a static noise which happen to scare her a bit. She quickly toke it off and handed back to William who gave a small chuckled at Elsa's reaction. "I hope my team are okay." said William in a worried tone.
"I'm sure your team is okay." said Elsa trying to comfort William.
"I hope so. As much as I don't want to admit it, those guys are the closest thing to family, they're like the brothers I never had." William didn't like admitting this but it's true he cares about his team as if they were like family.
Elsa felt a bit happy that William was now showing the feelings he tried to bury.
William then toke off his trench coat. He was starting to get a bit hot. he remove his coat reveling Black Military Body Armor which so happens to have a white skull painted on the chest part of the vest.
Elsa notice the skull, she wanted to ask William about the skull but she deiced to keep silent, she felt like that skull has a connection to William's tragic past. William opened his bag and got out his M4 carbine and walked past Elsa. "Where are you going?" asked Elsa.
William turned back "To do some rounds."
Elsa looked confuse as what he said "Rounds?" she tilted her head in confusion.
William notice the look on Elsa's face "It means to guard and make sure the place is secure." William explained.
"Guard it? Guard it from what? " Elsa asked
"From anything that will try to harm you."
Once William mention the word 'Harm' Elsa quickly remembered something "The kingdom of Arendelle isn't too far from here. Once you're there, you'll be safe like all the others there," she said in a neutral tone.
William then turned to Elsa"Safe from what?" William asked trying to learn why all of a sudden Elsa wanted him to leave.
"From me," Elsa replied.
William smiled "Elsa Your not dangerous. Your too kind and gentle to harm anyone." he said it with a heartwarming smile. Before Elsa could say anything else William left to began his guard duty, leaving a blushing Elsa.
Arendelle Forest
Elsewhere at this time, Sven was pulling Kristoff's sled through the forest in the direction of the North Mountain. Riding in it were Kristoff, Anna, Victor and the rest of the gang. The ice blocks that were in the sled had to, unfortunately, be left behind so Victor, Christopher, Eric, Kain and Matthew could fit on the back part of the sled. Anna promised Kristoff that once this was all over, they would go back to retrieve the ice. Kristoff and Anna sat up in the sled's front where Kristoff's gear was moved to while the gang were on the back part, which was surprisingly big enough for all 5 of them to fit on.
"Hang on!" Kristoff shouted to the others. "We like to go fast."
Anna smiled at that and leaned back in her seat, putting her feet up on the sled's dash. "I like fast," she said as she put both arms around the back of her head to be fully relaxed through the journey.
"Woah! Woah, woah, woah! Get your feet down," Kristoff said before pushing her feet off of the dash. "This is fresh lacquer. Seriously, were you raised in a barn?" When he spat on the dash to try to clean up any marks Anna might have made, some his spit hit her face; mainly her eye.
"Ew!" she said, wiping the spit off of her face and eye. "No, I was raised in a castle."
Kain looked at the other four "Did he say fresh liquor? I might need some of that soon."
The other 4 couldn't understand what Kristoff actually said.
"No, I think he said fresh lager," said Eric.
Just as about they we're about to argue on what Kristoff said they we're interrupted by Kristoff "I said fresh lacquer " Kristoff said. "Not liquor or whatever lager is."
Kain chuckled at the name "What kind of name is lacquer? What the hell is lacquer?"
"It's a type of wood finisher. It finishes wood," Kristoff answered, starting to get annoyed by their conversation over what one single word was. It was a pointless conversation.
Kain started laughing after hearing that. "Ahahaha, wood finisher. If you have wood, lacquer is the right stuff to finish it with."
Victor and Matthew just rolled their eyes and chuckled at Kain's stupid, perverted joke, Eric just face-palm and Christopher just kept quite.
Anna and Kristoff just gave each other confused looks, not really understanding why Kain, Matthew and Victor were laughing over something like wood finisher. Kristoff decided to at least try to change the conversation to something else. "So uh...tell me, what made the Queen go all ice-crazy?" he asked Anna.
"Oh, well, it was all my fault. I...I got engaged, but then she freaked out because I'd only just met him, you know, that day. And she said she wouldn't bless the marriage, and..." before Anna could continue, Kristoff interrupted her.
"Wait. You got engaged to someone you just met that day?" He was in disbelief.
Kain laughed "Yeah, she told us the same thing when we first met her. I couldn't believe she was actually being serious when she told me, I mean, who does that? Seriously, who does that? It was the single most stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life. And I've heard some pretty stupid things."
Eric couldn't agree more. "Lady, I mean no offense but Kain has a point."
"As much as I hate to agree with Kain, he does have a point." said Matthew.
Anna turned around and glared daggers at him. "It is not stupid, and no one asked for your opinions."
"Sounds kinda stupid to me," Kristoff muttered quietly, causing Anna to turn to him.
"What was that?"
"Nothing..."
Anna just rolled her eyes before continuing her story. "Anyway, I got mad and so she got mad and then she tried to walk away, and I grabbed her glove..."
Kristoff interrupted her again. "I still can't believe you got engaged to someone you just met that day."
"We've already covered that, so no need to keep bringing it up..." Anna said, a little annoyed. "Anyway, the thing is she wore the gloves all the time, so I just thought, maybe she has a thing about dirt."
"Didn't your parents ever warn you about strangers?" Kristoff asked her.
Looking at him sort of suspiciously, Anna slowly slid away from him. "Yes, they did. But Hans is not a stranger," she said with the look of a schoolgirl with an obvious crush.
In the back the everyone, except Christopher just face-palm over Anna's crush with Hans.
"Oh yeah?" Kristoff asked. "What's his last name?"
"Of-the-Southern-Isles?" Anna answered. She wasn't too sure about that one, so she tried to hide the doubt that was in her voice.
"What's his favorite food?"
"Sandwiches."
"Best friend's name?"
"Probably John."
Eric laughed upon hearing that. "Haha, meet my friend, John of the Southern Isles." Victor, Matthew and Kain also laughed at the joke, but both Kristoff and Anna just ignored them.
"Eye color?"
"Dreamy."
"Foot size?"
"Foot size doesn't matter."
"You know what they say about guys with big feet," Kain said, making Kristoff, Victor, Matthew, and Eric laugh.
Anna, confused about what he meant by that, looked at him. "No, I don't know what people say about guys with big feet." When Kristoff whispered what that saying meant, Anna's eyes widened and she started blushing a little. "Oh...but still, foot size doesn't matter." Kain just laughed "Sure."
"It's true! Size doesn't matter to me."
Kain only laughed harder at Anna's stubbornness.
Kristoff decided to once again change the subject. "Have you had a meal with him yet? What if you hate the way he eats?"
"What if he's just a big douchebag who doesn't really love you." Kain asked. Both Kristoff and Anna looked at him.
"That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard..." Anna remarked. "Hans really loves me."
"Yeah...pretty unlikely," Kristoff added.
The other 4 just stood their quietly. Eric, Matthew and Victor we're to busy talking about different stuff while Christopher just sat there, silently.
Kristoff continued asking questions. "What if you hate the way he picks his nose?"
"Picks his nose?" Anna asked.
"And eats it."
"Excuse me, sir. He is a prince," she said with a serious and offended face and a voice to match.
"All men do it."
Anna turned around to Victor and the gang to ask if that really was true.
Victor was the first respond "Hey look at us? Do we look like the kind that would pick our noses? Okay maybe Kain does."
Kain glared at him "I do not pick my nose asswhipe."
"Ew! Look, it doesn't matter, it's true love!" Anna said, determined to believe it was true, as she turned back around.
"Doesn't sound like true love," Kristoff replied.
"Are you some sort of love expert?"
"No. But I have friends who are."
"You have friends who are love experts?" Anna asked in amused disbelief. "I'm not buying it."
"Stop talking," Kristoff suddenly said in a serious-sounding voice. He stopped the sled, sensing something was wrong.
"No, no, no. No, no, no. I'd like to meet these–" Kristoff's hand covered Anna's mouth, stopping her from finishing her sentence.
"No, I mean it," he said. When Anna shoved away his hand, he hushed her before she could speak.
Christopher finally broke his silence "Something is near." he said as he got out his Colt revolvers.
The others follow suit. Victor got his pistols, Eric rose his hand which was had electricity ready to be fired , Matthew transformed his arms to Claws, Kain got Whiteout and Pitch Black out.
All 5 hop out of their seats, with weapons drawn "You two stay there." said Victor.
Kristoff grabbed the lantern which was beside him and stood up. He held the lantern out as far as he could so he would be able to see what it was they might be up against. Victor used his night vision to see what was out there. "What is it?" asked Kristoff.
"Wolves." said Victor.
With that Kain and Victor fired their guns at their targets, Eric fired electric bolts, and Christopher fired his revolvers.
"Thunderbolts, Get ready to fight." shouted Victor.
All 5 charged into the darkness.
Anna and Kristoff stared "They must be the bravest men I saw or the most dumbest. said Kristoff as he saw all 5 vanish into the darkness.
"Have you forgotten that 4 of them have powers?" said Anna.
Victor's Darkness snakes ripped each wolf apart, Matthew tore them apart with ease, Kain's sword sliced each one of them,
"Eric Now!" Matthew shouted.
Eric then cast a red tornado that blew away the wolves.
The group saw as the wolves retreated. "Way a go Eric." said Kain.
They're victory was cut short as they saw more wolves. "Are. You. Fucking. Kidding Me!" shouted Victor.
"Screw it. Let's go back to the sled." Matthew said.
All 5 ran back to the sled.
Back at the sled, Kristoff and Anna saw from a distance the red vortex. "Wow" they both said it.
Anna then saw the gang running back "We have to leave! We have to leave right now!" shouted Victor. The gang all got in the sled.
"Sven, go. Go!" Kristoff shouted, making Sven take off as fast as he could. Sven ran at full speed once everyone was in the sled.
"What happen?" asked Kristoff
"Our attack only cause to bring in more wolves." Eric said.
"Here they come!" shouted Matthew.
Christopher, Kain and Victor all drew their guns and fired at the wolves chasing them.
"I got this. Just don't fall off and don't get eaten," Kristoff said.
"I don't get it on why our attack didn't scare them." said Eric.
"The wolves look like they didn't eat in weeks. once hungry they kill whatever they can find, and they don't give up." said Christopher as he reloaded his revolver.
"Go, Sven! Don't stop no matter what you hear unless I say so!" Kristoff shouted, causing Sven to once again take off as fast as he could go.
"I wanna help," Anna said.
"No!" Kristoff replied.
"Why not?"
Victor used his darkness powers to transform his guns into darkness guns and then continue to fire his new upgraded weapons.
"Because I don't truest your judgment." shouted Kristoff
"Excuse me?!" Anna shouted. She tried to get up, but Kristoff pushed her back into her seat before delivering a powerful kick to a wolf who managed to sneak up along his side of the sled.
With the sled going at high speed it made it impossible for the gunmen to hit their targets. "Yo Kirstoff can you can drive this sled without moving so much?! It's hard to hit any of them with you driving like a jackass!" Kain yelled as he continue firing. Kristoff ignores Kain's comment.
"I bet if William was here he would get the most kills." Victor yelled.
With their guns unable to stop the wolves, they manage to out-flank the sled. It wouldn't be long before the wolves covered all the sides. Seeing a wolf try to make a run up to Anna's side, Victor use his darkness snakes to grab the wolf and then rips the wolf in half, causing it to explode in a shower of blood.
"Killing them only makes them madder." yelled Eric as he continued to fire electric bolts.
"Who married a man she just met?" Kristoff said to her. He didn't know that the remaining wolves were starting to form up on his side of the sled.
"It's true love!" Anna shouted as she grabbed Kristoff's lute. Using most of her strength, Anna swung the musical instrument at Kristoff's head.
"Woah!" he shouted, nearly managing to avoid being hit. He was going to yell at her for trying to kill him with that when he saw her real target was actually a wolf who tried to sneak up on him. The lute broke when it slammed into the wolf's head, but at least the wolf was down and out. "Woah." Suddenly another wolf came up from behind and grabbed him by the arm, yanking him off the sled.
"Christopher!" Anna shouted.
As he tumbled off the sled, landing on the wolf's head and rolling down its body, Kristoff saw loose rope dangling from where the group was on the sled. He quickly grabbed on to it and held on tight as he was dragged along the ground. "It's Kristoff!" he shouted.
Christopher and Eric, Seeing the situation that Kristoff was in, quickly grabbed the rope the man was hanging on to and they began pulling him in. Seeing how there was easy prey behind them, the remaining 12 wolves came after Kristoff. Two of them went after Kristoff while the other two went to outflank Christopher and Eric and take them out.
Kain then turn his guns to the wolves and fired, trying to give Eric and Christopher cover as they pulled Kristoff.
"Thanks" said Eric and Christopher.
Seeing how the Victor and the gang needed help keeping the wolves away, Anna grabbed Kristoff's rolled up blanket and lit part of it on fire using the lantern's flame. "Duck!" she shouted to both the gang and Kristoff before she threw the flaming blanket.
The gang ducked as soon as he heard her and watched the burning object sailed overhead towards the wolves. The wolves stopped their attack when the saw the blanket and dodged it before it could slam into them. Eric and Christopher tugged the rope to the right, causing Kristoff to swerve out of the burning blanket's path before pulling him in as quick as he could.
Once Eric and Christopher pulled Kristoff on to the sled, Kristoff shouted at Anna. "You almost set me on fire!"
"But I didn't," she replied as she got Kristoff back to the front of the sled. It was at that moment that she and Kristoff saw that Sven was running toward a cliff. "Get ready to jump, Sven!" Anna shouted.
Victor heard what Anna said "Alright guys get ready to jump."
"You don't tell him what to do!" Kristoff shouted before shoving a satchel into her arms. Then he picked her up.
"Hey!" Anna shouted in protest.
"I do!" With a mighty heave, he threw Anna on to Sven's back. He looked back to the five men. "All of you get up here now; you won't make it from back there!"
"Don't worry we got our own plan." said Victor. He then turned to the others "Are you guys ready?" he ask. The other 4 nodded.
Kristoff shrugged his shoulders. "Alright, whatever." He turned back around and prepared to start his plan.
"Alright Matthew you jump as high as you can,"
Matthew nodded
"Kain you transform into your demon form" Kain smirked as he got into his form. "Eric you use your static thrusters and reach the other side." Eric nodded as he got ready.
"And you get on my back I'll fly you there." Victor order Christopher.
"Jump, Sven!" Kristoff shouted, That was the signal.
"Now!" shouted Victor.
Just as Sven jumped over the crevice, Kristoff cut off the harness attached to the sled before jumping to the other side just as the sled went off the ground.
Victor led his wings spread and grabbed Christopher, Eric jumped from the sled and use his thruster to reach the other side, Kain, now in his demon form spread his wings and jumped from the sled, Matthew then jumped from the sled as well.
Matthew landed on the other side followed by Kain, Victor who was carrying Christopher, and finally Eric. All 5 turned to see Anna with her mouth open in amazement
"A...A...A.." Anna couldn't say anything.
On the opposite side, the 5 surviving wolves were joined by the one who was nailed in the head with the lute. All six of them were snarling and growling at the prey who escaped them. With no way to get across themselves, the wolves ran back into the forest.
Kristoff was hanging on to the snowy side of the ledge. He watched his sled fall to the ground before and explode once it hit the ground. "Ooh. But I just paid it off," he whined. Suddenly, he lost his grip on the ground and started to slide away, but he pawed at the ground frantically to try to hang on to it again. "Uh-oh. No, no, no. Ah! No, no, no, no, no!" At that moment, an ax tied to some rope came flying through the air and stabbed into the snow in front of him.
"Grab on!" Anna shouted.
Kristoff grabbed the ax as quick as possible and held on.
"Pull, you guys! Pull!" Anna said as she, Sven, and the others pulled Kristoff up over the edge and over to them. When Kristoff was safe, he rolled on to his back and sighed in relief.
Anna, Kain, Victor, Eric, Christopher, and Matthew looked down over the cliff at the burning wreckage of what was once Kristoff's sled. "Wow, it done blowed up real good," Kain said.
"Woah..." Anna looked at Kristoff. "I'll replace your sled and everything in it." Kristoff just groaned and covered his eyes with his arms when she said that. "And I understand if you don't wanna help us anymore," she said with sadness. She started to lead the rest of the gang onward, knowing he probably won't help them.
As the group of six started to leave, Sven came over to Kristoff and nudged his friend's arm in a way to try to convince Kristoff to help them out anyway. "Of course I don't wanna help them anymore. In fact, this whole thing has ruined me for helping anyone ever again." Kristoff began talking in his Sven voice. "But they'll die on their own!" In his normal voice, he replied to 'Sven'. "Oh, like that'll happen. Her friends could probably take out anything they could ever run into around here." 'Sven' started talking again. "But what if they can't? You won't get your new sled if she's dead." Realizing 'Sven' was right, Kristoff ended their 'conversation'. "Sometimes I really don't like you." Kristoff pushed himself off the snow. "Hold up! We're coming!" Happy that Kristoff was going to keep helping them, Sven licked his face happily.
Anna and the others stopped and turned around. "You are?!" Anna shouted happily, but caught herself and started talking like she knew he would join them all along. "I mean, sure. I'll let you tag along."
Now the group of six turned into a group of eight. They continue onward. A few moments after they started walking.
The group continued on through the night, stopping at one point only for a slight nap. After a couple hours of sleep, they were back on the move. By morning, they managed to cover a lot of ground.
Noticing something in the distance from the corner of her eye, Anna turned around and saw that from where they all were, they had a clear view of Arendelle. The entire kingdom was covered in ice and snow, much like the rest of the land. "Arendelle..."
Kristoff turned to see what the kingdom looked like for himself. "It's completely frozen," he said in utter disbelief.
"Shit it wasn't that fucked up when me, Matthew, and Eric where there." said Victor as he look at the kingdom now almost looking like Antarctica.
"But it'll be fine. Elsa will thaw it," Anna said reassuringly.
"Will she?
"Yeah. Now come on," Anna said while pointing at the area ahead of them. "This way to the North Mountain?"
Kristoff chuckled and moved her pointed hand upwards. "More like this way."
Anna, and the others looked up at the enormous mountain that laid before them. Through the clouds they could catch only a glimpse of the mountain's peak. Anna was shocked, Eric and Victor sighed in exhaustion, and Kain groaned. "Ah shit, do we have to climb this fucking thing?" the demon asked.
"Yes!" everyone shouted before they continued on their way.
When they finally reach the other side they came across a tree whose vines were frozen like wind chimes, Kristoff brushed against them with his hand to make them clatter together. The sound was very calming, but it was hard to hear over the crunching. Sven liked the sound the ice chimes made, so he ran into the vines and made them clatter together with his antlers. He made the noise, but also got some vines stuck on his antlers.
"I never knew winter could be so beautiful," Anna said while looking around at the snowy scenery before her.
All of a sudden, everyone heard a voice that seemed to come out of nowhere.
"Yeah! It really is beautiful, isn't it? But it's so white. You know, how about a little color? I'm thinking like maybe some crimson, chartreuse. How about yellow?" As they searched around for where the voice could be coming from, the voice's owner revealed himself as he wandered up behind them. It was a nose-less snowman wooden arms and twigs on its head for hair. "No, not yellow. Yellow and snow? Brrrr...no go!" Seeing the five armed men, the snowman decided not to introduce to those 5 just yet, so he walked over in between Anna and Kristoff. "Am I right?" he asked them, looking from side-to-side at both.
As soon as Anna saw the living snowman, she screamed loudly and punted its head off its body.
When Kristoff caught the head, it looked at him and smiled. "Hi," it said.
"You're creepy," Kristoff replied before tossing the head back to Anna.
"I don't want it!" Anna said, tossing the head to Matthew.
"Like I would?" he then toss to Eric, who then tossed it to Kain, who then tossed it to Victor, who tossed it back to Kristoff.
"Please don't drop me," the snowman said.
"Come on, it's just a head," Kristoff told Anna, tossing it back to her.
"No!"
While this was going on, the snowman's body was running around, flailing its arms like a chicken without its...well, head. "Alright, we got off to a bad start," the head said.
"Ew, ew, the body," Anna said as she watched it run toward her. She threw the head at it, reattaching them. Unfortunately, the head wasn't in the correct position; it was upside down.
"Wait. What am I looking at right now?" it asked as he tried to make sense of why everything was now upside down for him. "Why are you all hanging off the earth like a bat?"
Despite it being sort of creepy, Anna felt a little sorry for the poor snowman, so she decided to help it. "Wait a second." She walked over and put his head right side up.
"Oh! Thank you!" it said happily.
"You're welcome," Anna replied with a smile.
"Now I'm perfect."
"Well, almost." Anna grabbed a carrot out of the satchel she'd been carrying and goes to put it in between the snowman's eyes, but accidentally slammed it in too hard, causing the carrot to go out through the back of his head. "Oh! Too hard."
"That's what she said." Kain said as he laughed. the other 4 just ignored him.
"I'm sorry," Anna said, not paying any attention to Kain. "I was just–"
"Head rush!" the snowman said.
"Are you okay?" said Anna.
"Are you kidding me?" the snowman said with enthusiasm. "I am wonderful! I've always wanted a nose." When tried grabbing it, he began talking to it like it was a little baby. "So cute. It's like a little baby unicorn."
Anna pushed the carrot through his head, giving the snowman a proper long nose.
"Woah!" Upon seeing that his nose was now longer, he smiled wider than before. "Oh, I love it even more! Hah. Alright, let's start this thing over. Hi everyone. I'm Olaf. And I like warm hugs." With open arms, Olaf turned to Anna.
"Olaf?" she asked. That name sounded familiar to her, having heard it somewhere before. That's when she remembered where. Her and Elsa's childhood snowman pal! "That's right, Olaf."
"And you are?"
"Oh, um...I'm Anna."
Olaf then turned to the five strange men.
"I'm Victor Estacado. But you can just call me Victor."
Olaf then turned to the electric man "Names Eric Rowe, but call me Eric. And the 2 guys next to me are Christopher Miles," Christopher gave a handshake to the snowman "And Matthew Mercer." Matthew just smiled at the little snowman.
"And my name is Kain." the demon then grab his sword and swung it around.
"Showoff" said Anna.
Olaf looked at Kain's sword movements "Cool. I wanna try that." the snowman grabbed a stick and try swinging around, trying to copy Kain's movements.
"You still need practice." said Kain with a smirk.
Olaf then looked at Kristoff and Sven. "And who's the funky-looking donkey over there?"
"That's Sven," Anna said.
"Uh-huh. And who's the reindeer?"
"Sven...," Anna said.
The others just laughed while Kristoff glared at them.
"Oh! They're...oh, okay. Makes things easier for me." Suddenly, Sven lunged at Olaf's carrot nose with his teeth, but luckily Olaf jumped back just in time to avoid losing it. "Ha! Aw, look at him trying to kiss my nose. I like you, too!"
"Olaf, did Elsa build you?" Anna asked.
"Yeah. Why?"
Amazed by the living snowman, Kristoff plucked off one of Olaf's arms to examine it more closely. He wanted to see how his stick arm was able to function like a person's. "Fascinating."
"Do you know where she is?" Anna asked.
"Yeah. Why?"
"Do you think you could show us the way?"
"Yeah. Why?"
Kristoff began bending Olaf's arm over and over. "How does this work?" Suddenly, the dismembered arm smacked him across the face. "Ow!"
Olaf grabbed his arm away from Kristoff. "Stop it, Sven. Trying to focus here." He turned back to Anna once his arm was back in place. "Yeah, why?"
"I'll tell you why," Kristoff said. "We need Elsa to bring back summer."
"Summer?"
"Mm-hmm," Anna said.
"Oh, I don't know why but I've always loved the idea of summer, and sun, and all things hot," Olaf said.
"Really? I'm guessing you don't have much experience with heat," Kristoff asked.
"Nope! But sometimes I like to close my eyes, and imagine what it'd be like when summer does come." With that, Olaf started singing.
Bees will buzz,
Kids will blow dandelion fuzz
And I'll be doing whatever snow does in summer
A drink in my hand,
My snow up against the burning sand
Probably getting gorgeously tanned in summer
I'll finally see a summer breeze blow away a winter storm
And find out what happens to solid water when it gets warm
And I can't wait to see
What my buddies all think of me
Just imagine how much cooler I'll be in summer
Dah-dah, da-doo, a-bah-bah-bah bah-bah-boo
The hot and the cold are both so intense,
Put 'em together, it just makes sense!
Rrr-raht da-daht dah-dah-dah dah-dah-dah dah dah doo
Winter's a good time to stay in and cuddle,
But put me in summer and I'll be a...happy snowman!
When life gets rough, I like to hold on to my dream
Of relaxing in the summer sun, just lettin' off steam
Oh, the sky will be blue,
And you guys will be there too
When I finally do what frozen things do in summer!
Both Kristoff, Kain, and Eric had amused grins on their faces. "I'm gonna tell him," all 3 said, almost simultaneously.
"Don't you dare," Anna said, glaring at all 3 of them.
In Summer!
"So, come on! Elsa's this way!" Olaf shouted once he finished his song. He ran ahead of them. "Let's go bring back summer!"
"I'm coming!" Anna shouted and ran after him.
"Wait for us!" shouted Victor, following them with Eric, Matthew, Christopher and Kain following behind. Sven ran after them as well while Kristoff just stared at them as they went by.
"Somebody's gotta tell him."
North Mountain
Back in Elsa's ice castle, someone was just waking up. William yawned, slowing opening his eyes. "Time to go to work." William got out of bed and armed himself, preparing for another day of guard duty, this time he toke his bag.
Although Elsa said it wasn't really necessary he continue to guard the place from anyone who do harm to Elsa. William has feelings for Elsa, but he couldn't admit them. He was never good with getting a girl, he lost his family he can't bare having another loved one taken away from him.
Hearing that William was now awake, Elsa decided to go see him one final time before he left this place forever. Elsa had been up for a couple of hours now, checking on William to make sure he was okay while he slept and then played with her ice magic a little. Elsa felt safe around him. Something about him made Elsa feel safe and loved. But she couldn't accept those feelings, fearing that she might hurt him.
Elsa went to William's room only to find it empty. "He must be outside." she said. Elsa left to go see what other stuff she can create with her magic.
Outside of the ice castle, William was holding his assault rifle while standing guard. Although there were no actual threats, apart from some hungry wolves and a few bandits that William toke out with his knife, not wanting to waste ammo on a few lowlifes.
William continued to guard the place until he heard voices coming from the forest. "Must be more bandits." William rested his rifle on a rock and left to find the sources of those voices.
William slowly walked thru the forest, trying to get the element of surprise. As William got closer he heard the voices and he manage to hear them clearly. He hid behind a tree, and saw three men who don't look very friendly.
"Are sure the ice queen lives right there?" the man armed with a bow asked.
"Of course she lives there, what else could live in a castle made of ice." said another man armed with a musket rifle.
"Come on we made a deal with the duke. Kill the ice queen, bring back her head and we're swimming in gold, how hard can it be?" said another man who was pretty muscular and was armed with a giant greatsword.
The 3 men all of sudden heard the snap of a branch. They all turn to see a man covered in black clothing with a skull painted on the chest.
"Well, Well it looks like that ice whore has a personal body guard." said the big man.
'Aye, judging by the black armor she must have made a deal with the devil." said the other man who was pointing his musket at him.
"Come on. Let's get this over with." the man then raised his bow and fired an arrow.
William caught the arrow, which caused all 3 men to freeze in disbelief.
"You're going to need more then those weak toys if you want to bring me down." said William as he snapped the arrow in half.
The other assassin fired his musket, hitting William in the chest, which didn't even made him flinch or penetrate his armor.
"What in god's name is he made of ?!" yelled the assassin as he, along side the others drew their swords out.
"If arrows and musket balls don't hurt him, maybe swords can." the big assassin said as he drew his greatsword.
"This is going to be fun." William then got out his two military khurkis, he then charged at the 3 assassins.
William ram both his khurkis in one of men's gut, he then cut open his abdominal, spilling his guts on the snow.
"You bastard!' yelled another man who brought his sword trying to hit William.
William dropped his khurkis as he saw the man's sword and the grabbed his arm, snapping it with his elbow. The man screamed as he saw the bone sticking out. William then grabbed his sword and rammed it in his throat and then brought back up, slicing the man's head in half. His brains spilled all over the snow.
William then turned to the last one who charged at him with greatsword drawn. William dogged it and toke out his M4X combat knife and slashed him in the leg. The man groan as he grabbed William with one hand and then threw him at a giant rock. William felt a stinging in pain, as his back hit the large rock with incredible force.
"You killed my friends," the man slowly walked towards William " I'm going to enjoy cutting you to little pieces." he then brought his greatsword and was about to delivered the killing blow.
William saw the chance he had and then slashed his other leg causing the man to fall to his knees. William then grabbed his head and delivered a devastating knee strike to the head, causing the man to faze for a bit.
William then got his two khurkis and went back to the man. He looked up in fear as the skull warrior approached him. William grab him by his collar bone "Who sent you?" William said in a demanding tone.
"I would rather die!" yelled the man.
Big mistake. William rammed one of khuriks in one of the man's knees. "Are you going to tell me?" He threaten him with khurki aimed for his head.
"Alright. I'll tell you." the man trying to catch his words. "All 3 of us we're hired by The Duke Of Weselton. he promise us lots of gold if we killed the ice queen, and bring back summer."
That's all William needed. He doesn't know this duke but when he meets him the'll be hell to pay.
William grabbed his head and then jam his fingers into his eye sockets, the man could only scream in agony as William continued to push his fingers with great force and then he crushed the assassin's skull, crushing the bastard's head into a red pile of brains, bone, and viscera. A pool of blood covered the snow, turning the white powdered into a crimson red of blood. "Now my hands are all sticky." said William who look at how messy his hands are. How was he going to explain this to Elsa?
William decided to make a warning sign, if any more assassins came they will know what will happen to them. He chopped a good size branch, sharpen it, and rammed it into the snow, leaving the sharp part pointing up. He then decapitate the head of the man who had his guts exposed, and he put the head on the spike. "That should send a message to anymore assassins." said William.
With that done, William got his Khuriks and his knife, putting them in their sheaths he went back to the campsite. He had trouble walking. His back was still hurting as he walked.
He finally reached the campsite, he grabbed his bag and went back to the castle. Each step was met with a sharp pain, he also all of sudden felt dizzy. He finally reach the front doors of the ice palace.
Elsa was too busy with her magic to even notice William walking in. As she was done with her daily activities she finally notice William in his room. "William? What are still doing here?" she asked surprised that William didn't left her. Elsa quickly notice his hands that were covered in blood "William what happen?" William didn't say anything.
Elsa notice that William didn't respond"William what's wrong?" Elsa asked worried.
All of sudden William collapsed. "William!" Elsa shouted as she rushed to his aid. Elsa decided to carry him to bed. Lucky for her, they we're 3 feet away from the bed. Elsa gently laid William in his bed and put the covers on him. "Please be okay William" Elsa said as she stayed with William sleeping peacefully.
Arendelle
Back in Arendelle, everyone was worried about if this sudden winter would ever end. Everyone there were doing whatever they could to stay warm. In the town square, two men were gathering wood and having an argument over how it should be stacked.
"No, no. You've got the bark facing down. The bark needs to be face-up," said one man to the other.
"Bark down is drier!" the other man shouted back.
That only caused them to argue with each other as they began pulling at the bark, shouting which way they said was right. As this was going on, Hans and a couple of the guards were handing out cloaks to people who needed them.
"Cloak? Does anyone need a cloak?" Hans asked before offering one to a nearby woman.
"Arendelle is indebted to you, your Highness," the woman replied before putting it on.
Hans handed a stack of cloaks he was carrying to one of the guards. "Here. Pass these out." At that moment, he saw that the Duke of Weselton and his two personal guards were walking over to him.
"Prince Hans, are we just expected to sit here and freeze while you give away all of Arendelle's tradeable goods?" the Duke asked.
"Princess Anna has given her orders..." Hans said, but he was interrupted by the Duke.
"And that's another thing! Has it dawned on you that your princess may be conspiring with a wicked sorceress or worse, those 6 monsters that all of sudden arrived in Arendelle? What if those 6 are working with the sorceress so they can kill Princess Anna and then destroy us all?!"
"Do not question the Princess. She left me in charge, and I will not hesitate to protect Arendelle from treason. And those 6 are not here to harm or take over Arendelle. Just as the other 3 said they just want to get their friends and leave."
The Duke looked at Hans with a flabbergasted look. "Treason?!"
All of a sudden, the horse Anna rode on in her search for Elsa galloped into the town square, getting everyone's attention. It was clearly spooked by something. Noticing Anna wasn't on it, Hans slowly approached the horse. "Woah! Woah! Woah, boy. Easy. Easy," he said, calming the horse down.
"That's Princess Anna's horse," a man in the crowd said.
"But where is the Princess?" asked a woman.
Hans looked at the mountain, wondering where indeed, before turning back to the crowd. "Princess Anna is in trouble. I need volunteers to go with me to find her."
"I volunteer two men, my Lord," the Duke said. Before his guards leave, he speaks to them quietly. "Be prepared for anything. And should you encounter the Queen, you are to put an end to this winter, and if you find any of the 6 unwanted visitors you know what to do. Also find those 3 idiots I've sent, I want to know what happen to them . Do you understand?"
Near the North Mountain.
Once everyone was well enough rested, the group continued on to Elsa's castle. As they got closer and closer, the terrain was becoming more hazardous in terms of the ice. All around on the side of the mountain wall and on the ground sticking outwards were sharp icicles. They sort of looked like spears being pointed outwards to impale any unfortunate soul who happened to walk through this area.
Kristoff walked beside Anna as Olaf led the way from the front of the group. The other 5 weren't far behind, staying behind with Sven. That's when the mountain man realized something important he had forgotten to ask ever since he was forced to go on this journey. "So how exactly are you planning to stop this weather?" he asked Anna.
"Oh, I'm gonna talk to my sister," Anna replied.
"That's your plan? My ice business is riding on you talking to your sister?"
So distracted by Anna's reply, mainly due to his belief about it being absurd, he didn't know he was approaching an icicle. Luckily he stopped short just in time when the tip poked his nose. He carefully moved around the spike, thankful that he didn't impale his head on it.
"Ain't talking to your sister what caused this winter?" asked Matthew.
"What if it only makes things worse and then this place turns into a snowy wasteland?" Eric asked.
Anna looked over her shoulder at both them as she walked, turning her head back around at times to make sure she didn't walk into any icicles. "Sort of...not on purpose though, but I'm not going to make her angry this time...I hope," she said, muttering the last part of her sentence.
"So you're not afraid of her?" Kristoff asked.
"Why would I be?" Anna asked him.
"Yeah," Olaf said, turning to look at the others as he continued walking. "I bet she's the nicest, gentlest, warmest person ever." Not watching where he was going, Olaf walked into an icicle. The spike pierced through his torso, dismembering it from the lower part of his body. Unable to feel himself walking anymore, the snowman looked down to see what was wrong. "Oh, look at that. I've been impaled," he said, laughing a little bit.
Kain, Victor, Eric, and Matthew laughed a bit as well, more at Olaf's clumsiness than at the dismemberment.
Christopher toke Olaf out of the icicle and got Olaf's lower and half. He then put them back together. "Thanks Christopher." smiled the snowman.
Christopher smiled back "Your welcome Olaf."
It wasn't long before they reached the mountain wall that blocked them from Elsa's castle. It looked really imposing to them due to its sheer height and lack of curved slopes on it.
"What now?" Anna asked.
Kristoff studied the wall of rock for a few moments, judging how best to climb it. "It's too steep. I've only got one rope and I'm sure all of you don't know how to climb mountains."
"Says who?" asked Anna.
While Kristoff was getting the rope ready for use, Sven nudged him. The mountain man sighed in slight annoyance when he saw Anna trying to climb up the rock wall by herself. "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to see my sister!" Anna said with utmost determination.
"You're gonna kill yourself, Anna," Kristoff said.
"You know we can just climb this mountain with ease." said Eric as he climb the rock wall, within seconds he was at the top waiting for the others.
"Hey wait for me." said Kain as his wings open and flew to the top.
"Don't forget me." Matthew then jumped to the top.
The other two just face-palm.
"You're gonna kill yourself, Anna," Kristoff said as he ignore the other 3 who got to the top first. He watched Anna try to put one of her feet on an area he knew wasn't a good place for a foot grip. "I wouldn't put my foot there."
Anna slipped, but she managed to hang on with her hands. "You're distracting me."
"Or there," Kristoff said, noticing her trying another unsafe area.
Her foot slipped again.
"How do you know Elsa even wants to see you?" said Kristoff.
Victor then said "I mean what if she get's pissed off even more and decides to bring in the god damn Armageddon."
Kristoff motion his thumb to Victor "What he said."
"Alright, I'm...I'm just blocking the both of you out cause I gotta concentrate here," Anna replied, but she slipped again.
"You know, most people who disappear into the mountains want to be alone," Kristoff said.
"Nobody wants to be alone. Except maybe you."
"William likes to be alone the majority of the time." said Victor as he remembers how William can be very nihilistic and serious, then again seeing his entire family killed by mobsters who can blame him. Victor continued to watch Anna trying to get up the rock wall.
"Okay, nobody except Kristoff and William," Anna corrected.
"Hey, I'm not alone. I have friends, remember?" Kristoff said.
"You mean the love experts?" Anna asked.
Anna panted a little as she reached her hand out to grab an area of wall above her. She was exhausted. "Please tell me I'm almost there." Unfortunately, she had only climbed up a few inches. "Does the air seem a bit thin to you up here?"
"I'm afraid you've only barely climbed a few inches," Christopher told her as he waited for the other 3 to show up.
Kristoff chuckled. "Hang on."
As Kristoff, Christopher and Victor went over to help Anna get down, Olaf, followed by Matthew, Eric, and Kain, ran over to them. They've been looking around the surrounding area while everyone else was watching Anna climb, and sure enough, they found something. "Hey, Sven? Victor? Christopher? Not sure if this is gonna solve the problem, but we found a staircase that leads exactly where you want it to go."
"Ha-ha," Anna said happily. "Thank goodness! Catch!" she said to Kristoff before dropping off the mountain wall.
Thinking fast, Victor caught her instead of Kristoff.
"Thanks! That was like a crazy trust exercise," Anna said before hopping out of his arms. She ran over to Olaf , with Victor following her, and followed him to where he found the stairs. Kristoff looked at Christopher as they, along with Sven, followed behind. Christopher just shrugged his shoulders.
"Looks like Victor has a heart for Anna." said Kristoff as he looked at Christopher who smirked
"Couldn't agree more."
Both men laughed as they followed the others.
The group finally reach Elsa's castle. "Woah," Anna said.
The group couldn't take their eyes off of the ice structure. "That's pretty sweet." said Eric.
"That lady sure does have some pretty interesting taste." said Victor
"I wished I had a camera." said Matthew
" Absolutely beautiful ." said Christopher as he stared at the wonder before him.
"Eh, I've seen better on TV." said Kain who wasn't a bit impressed, earning the glares of the other 4.
"Now that's ice," Kristoff said. "I might cry."
"Same here." said Victor
"Go ahead. I won't judge," Anna said as she walked up the second flight of stairs that led to the castle doors.
Sven tried to follow Anna, but he slipped as soon as he stepped hoof on the ice. Scrambling to get his hooves to work properly on the slippery surface, he only made things worse for him.
"Alright, take it easy, boy. Come here, I gotcha," Kristoff said as he helped Sven down the stairs to the bottom. Somehow Sven made it up the first flight of stairs, but he guessed this flight was just too slippery for his reindeer pal. "Okay. You stay right here, buddy."
Although he was disappointed in being unable to join the others to see Elsa, Sven decided to do as Kristoff said. Comically, he slammed his butt on to the ground and sat there, watching as Kristoff followed the others up the ice steps.
"Flawless," the mountain man said as he carefully climbed the steps of ice. He'd never seen anything like this before and he was glad he had the opportunity to.
Anna walked up to a set of doors while the others watched. She held up her hand to knock, but hesitated after a thought came to mind. What if Kristoff and Victor were right about Elsa not wanting to speak to her?
"Knock. Just knock," Olaf said. It was like he had read her mind and was encouraging her to knock.
Anna just stood there, motionless.
"Why isn't she knocking?" Olaf whispered to the others. "Do you think she knows how to knock?"
With a snap of his fingers, that made Anna jump a little by the way, Kain pulled out a Samsung Galaxy 5. A few seconds later, 'Bulletproof' by Five Finger Death Punch started playing. "Anytime would be good," he said, he really just wants to get William and leave this world.
"Wow! What is that?!" Olaf asked in amazement as he looked at the device in Kain's hand. Kristoff was also looking at it, but he didn't ask anything about it.
Anna finally knocked on the door, but her first knock caused an unexpected result. "It opened. That's a first." Before she took a step inside, she turned to face the others. "All of you should probably wait out here."
"What?" Kristoff asked, his hype train suddenly screeching to a halt.
"Last time I introduced her to a guy, she froze everything." Anna turned from Kristoff to Victor, Eric, Christopher, and Matthew. "She'd probably be afraid of you guys," she said with sadness, then she turned to Kain. "She'd probably freeze you solid, or worse."
"Pft," Kain replied, rolling his eyes. "I'd like to see her try."
"But...but...oh, come on! It's a palace made of ice! Ice is my life!" Kristoff said, acting much like a child who wasn't getting his way.
"What about William? What if he's in there?" Christopher asked.
"I promise to let you know if he is," Anna said. "First thing I'll do."
"Bye, guys!" Olaf said as he turned to step inside. Anna stopped him. "You too, Olaf."
"Me?"
"Just give us a minute."
"Okay." Olaf walked over to the steps and sat down, waiting, as Anna walked inside. "One...two...three...four..." As Olaf counted, Victor, Matthew, Eric, Christopher and Kristoff, all sat down beside him and counted with him.
Kain just transformers himself into a cloud of bats flew by the doors without anyone noticing. After a minute's wait, he planned on going in, whether Anna liked it or not.
As Anna walked into the castle, she was amazed at the pure beauty of it. "Woah." She looked around for both her sister and to take in the sight this room gave. "Elsa? It's me, Anna." She started to walk a little, but she nearly slipped. Quickly catching herself, she prevented the fall and stayed in place.
When Elsa had first heard Anna's voice, she thought it was just her imagination, so she came out of William's bedroom, leaving him rest in peace and went down to the second floor. When she heard it again, she decided to see if Anna really was there. "Anna?" Elsa asked, walking down the stairs to the first floor. She stood on the staircase balcony, looking down at her little sister.
Anna looked up and for the first time in days she saw her sister again. Just like with the castle, she was stunned at Elsa's beauty. "Wow. Elsa, you look different. It's a good different. And this place...it's amazing."
"Thank you," Elsa said with a smile. "I never knew what I was capable of."
"I'm so sorry about what happened. If I'd have know..."
"No, no. It's okay. You don't have to apologize. But you should probably go, please."
But I just got here," Anna said, sort of confused about why her sister was telling her to leave so soon.
"You belong down in Arendelle."
"So do you."
"No, Anna. I belong here. Alone. Where I can be who I am without hurting anybody."
"Actually about that..." Anna began, but something she hears Olaf's voice from outside.
"Fifty-eight...fifty-nine...sixty."
"Wait. What is that?" Elsa asked, alarmed and puzzled.
All of a sudden, the doors opened and Olaf came running into the room. He wasn't alone though. No one noticed the the cloud of bats that we're flying silently through a top window of the castle after Olaf came in. It was Kain.
"Hi, I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs," the happy, little snowman said to Elsa as he ran to Anna's side. "Olaf?" Elsa asked.
"You built me. Remember that?"
"And you're alive?" Elsa was a little surprised.
"Um...I think so?"
Elsa smiled as she looked down at her hands. She had never made one of her snow creations come to life before, so she felt a little proud.
Yeah," Elsa replied, remembering that memory fondly.
No one noticed the bats stealthily flying above the balcony were Elsa was standing on.
"Elsa, we were so close. We can be like that again," Anna said.
As soon as she heard Anna said that, Elsa's memory of her building Olaf with Anna turned to chaos for her. The memory of her accidentally hurting Anna flowed back into her mind. Elsa looks down sadly. "No, we can't." Elsa turned to walk away from the balcony. "Goodbye, Anna." She didn't get far to the second floor stairs because when she saw the colony of bats that were above her, she shouted in fear. "What is that?!"
Hearing that his cover was blown, the black demonic bats that was Kain began to pile on itself, reforming into Kain's human form. "I'm Kain, and before you ask, no I'm not a vampire. I'm a damn half demon, half angel who happens to have every power of the supernatural. " once he was done explaining that he then got to the point. "Where the hell is William?" he said in a very serious voice.
"Kain!" Anna shouted. "You were supposed to wait outside!"
"So was the snowman, but I didn't hear you yelling at him!" Kain shouted back.
You know this thing?" Elsa looked at Anna, sort of shocked.
"He's my new friend," Anna said quickly.
"I'd call us acquaintances," Kain said.
"Ugh, why are you here?" Anna asked, not in the mood for the half-demon, half-angel.
"I came here to find William."
Elsa tilted her head, not sure why this Kain was looking for him. "How do you know William?" Then something dawned on her. "Are you here to hurt him?" she asked with sudden anger.
"I just might after being transported into this icy hell hole to look for him. My patience and tolerance level for this place is getting dangerously low, so just give him to me."
That only made Elsa madder. She threateningly approached him slowly, back him against the balcony's railing. "Don't you dare hurt him. Now get out of here," she said, trying to control her anger.
"I'm not leaving here without my friend!" Kain said firmly.
Feeling stressed out, Elsa turned away and went for the stairs. "He's not here."
"Elsa, wait! Don't mind him, he's just cranky," Anna said, shooting a glare at Kain.
Elsa glanced at Anna. "No, I'm just trying to protect you."
Kain moved out of the way as Anna climbed the stairs to the balcony.
"You don't have to protect me. I'm not afraid!" Anna said, but Elsa kept walking away up the second flight of stairs. Anna started to sing as she followed.
Please don't shut me out again.
Please don't slam the door.
You don't have to keep your distance anymore
Cause for the first time in forever,
I finally understand.
For the first time in forever,
We can fix this hand in hand.
'"We can head down this mountain together!"
You don't have to live in fear...
Cause for the first time in forever
I will be right here.
Elsa was now on the second floor and turned around, seeing her sister followed her. "Anna," she said before singing to her.
Please go back home.
Your life awaits.
Go enjoy the sun-
And open up the gates.
"Yeah but..." Anna said, but was interrupted by Elsa.
"I know!"
You mean well, but leave me be.
Yes, I'm alone but I'm alone and free!
Just stay away and you'll be safe from me.
Elsa walked further into the room, but still Anna was following.
Anna: Actually we're not.
Elsa: What do you mean you're not?
Anna: I get the feeling you don't know...
Elsa: What do I not know?
Anna: Arendelle's in deep, deep, deep, deep...
Snow.
Elsa had a surprised look on her face. "What?"
"You kind of set off an eternal winter...everywhere," Anna replied.
"Everywhere?"
"Oh, it's okay. You can just unfreeze it."
"No, I can't. I...I don't know how!" As Elsa started worrying and freaking out over her accident, snow began falling in the room all around them.
"Sure you can. I know you can!" Anna said encouragingly before both sisters began singing once more.
Anna: Cause for the first time in forever,
Elsa: Oh, I'm such a fool! I can't be free!
Anna: You don't have to be afraid...
Elsa: No escape from the storm inside of me!
Anna: We can work this out together!
Elsa: I can't control the curse!
As they sang, the snow falling all around them began getting heavier and faster.
Anna: We'll reverse the storm you've made!
Elsa: Anna, please, you'll only make it worse!
Anna: Don't panic!
Elsa: There's so much fear!
Anna: We'll make the sun shine bright!
Elsa: You're not safe here!
Anna: We can face this thing together!
Elsa: No!
Anna: We can change this winter weather!
Elsa: AHHHH...
Anna: And everything will be all right...
Elsa: I CAN'T!
At that moment, the blizzard in the room was at its worst, but as she sang "I can't!" all the snow in the room was absorbed into her body. Releasing the blizzard out in a form of shock wave, Anna is accidentally struck in the heart.
Elsa fell to her knees as Anna fell to the floor. Looking at Anna, she realized what she did. The one thing she'd been trying to prevent. She instantly tried to believe otherwise. Nothing happened, her mind tried telling her.
Kristoff ran into the room, followed by Victor, Christopher, Eric and Matthew. "Anna! Are you okay?" He and other 4 started to help her up.
"I'm okay. I'm fine," she told all of them. She stood back up.
Elsa looked at Victor first, mistaking him for William due to the large black trench coat, then at Eric who had red electricity glowing in his arms, then Matthew, and lastly, Christopher who had his assassin's hood on, so she couldn't see his face. It only took her a few seconds to realize that Victor wasn't him. She turned to Kristoff before looking back to Anna. "Who are they? Wait it doesn't matter. Just...you have to go."
"No, I know we can figure this out together," Anna replied.
All of a sudden, Kristoff and the others noticed something odd was going on. On the walls around them, shadows of ice were starting to form in a menacing way.
"How? What power do you have to stop this winter? To stop me?" Elsa asked.
Now the ice shadows were starting to get closer and more dangerous in their appearance. "Anna, I think we should go," Kristoff said as he tried pulling Anna away. Anna wouldn't budge and neither did the others.
"No. I'm not leaving without you, Elsa," Anna said firmly to her sister.
"And We're not leaving without William, alright," Victor said as the others stood their ground.
"Yes, you are," Elsa said. With a couple waves of her hand, she created an enormous, twelve-foot tall monster of a snowman: Marshmallow.
"Holy fucking shit." Victor said in amazement.
Inside William's head
"Where am I? Am I dead?" William just stared at an eternal darkness. He doesn't remember being here. All he remember was taking out 3 assassins, walking back to the ice castle, and then all of sudden he blacks out.
William continued to walk this hallway of darkness, until a bright light toke away all of the darkness.
William saw what looks like an angel of some sort. It was a female. she had steel armor, white angelic wings, emerald eyes , stunning blonde hair, and a sword and shield. Was he in heaven? Was he finally going to reunite with his family?
Out of respect, he kneel before the angel who only gave a smile to the mortal. The angel lowered to William and placed her hand on his shoulder.
William looked up to the angel who was smiling at him. ' Samuel, Maria, Mother. I'm coming home.'
North Mountain
Marshmallow, who was carrying Anna, Kristoff, Kain, Christopher, Victor, Matthew and Eric, walked to the doors and kicked them open with his foot. "Go away!" he yelled before throwing the intruders out the door, down the stairs.
Sven watched his friends slide down the stairs. It looked kind of fun, but the looks on their faces said otherwise.
Olaf came running after Marshmallow. "Wait! Don't hurt my friends." Suddenly, Marshmallow picked him up. "Don't hurt me! Come on, we're like brothers. Sort of." Marshmallow paid no mind to him as he threw his 'brother' out of the castle. "Heads up!" Olaf shouted as he sped towards his friends, only to slam into the snow bank nearby. "Watch out for my butt!"
Everyone ducked or leaped out-of-the-way to avoid Olaf's lower torso, which slammed into the snow bank where Olaf's head was stuck.
Anna was pretty furious about being picked up and thrown by the giant snowman, so she planned on giving Marshmallow a piece of her mind. She bent over, scooped up some snow in her hands, and proceeded to make a snowball. "It is not nice to throw people!" she shouted, about the throw her snowy projectile.
Seeing what she was about to do, Kristoff and Victor stopped her quickly by grabbing her and preventing her from throwing anything. "Woah! Woah, woah, woah, feisty pants. Okay, relax. Just calm down. Calm down!"
"Okay! Alright! I'm okay!" Anna said.
"Just let the snowman be."
"I'm calm."
Kristoff and Victor let her go and turned away. "Great."
At that moment, Kain pulled out Whiteout and Pitch Black and charged them with his demonic and angelical powers. He wasn't about to let some hulking snow-monster get away with tossing him around like he was nothing. At the same time, Anna turned around and threw her snowball at Marshmallow just as Kain fired his guns.
"Oh, come on!" Kristoff and Victor shouted.
Kain's pistols hit Marshmallow first, striking his shoulder. The bullets exploded with dark and light energy, leaving a hole and caused ice to explode out of the wound. Marshmallow roared in pain, clutching his wound. Then, Anna's snowball landed right in his mouth while he was howling, causing him to start choking. That only lasted for a few seconds before he chewed the snowball up and swallowed it. Now he was angry. Marshmallow looked down at the intruders and let out a ferocious roar while his body began creating spiked icicles all over him.
"Great, now you two made him mad!" shouted Kristoff.
After she created Marshmallow and he threw out Anna and her friends, Elsa returned to William's room to try to calm down. It was hard to do that when all she could think of was that her kingdom was frozen solid and her sister possibly injured because of her. She saw William still sleeping.
"You just had to piss off the giant snowman, didn't ya?" Eric asked, his question more directed at Kain than it was at Anna, as the group fled from said giant snowman. Victor, Kain, and Christopher got their firearms out and shot at the snowman, hoping to slow it down.
"Hey, I'm not gonna let some snowman-monster-thing manhandle me and get away with it," the demon replied as he kept firing his guns.
"Less arguing, more running," Anna shouted.
"You, Kristoff, Christopher and Sven go. We'll distract him." Victor said. Kain, Eric, Matthew, and Victor came to a halt. Victor covered himself in darkness armor, Matthew transformed his arms into blades, Eric charged his hands with electricity, and Kain changed into his demon form.
"Let's melt his ass." Kain yelled. Marshmallow roared at the four as he charged at them.
Victor activated his darkness guns and fired, Eric shot electric missiles at him, Matthew and Kain charged at the behemoth. Marshmallow just regenerates himself each time he got hit.
Victor, seeing on how hopeless this was looked at Eric "Eric, cast Ionic Storm, bring him down." Victor shouted.
Eric nodded and he got closer to Marshmallow, who was ing busy with Kain and Matthew.
"You two get out of the way! I'm going to blow his ass up." Eric shouted.
Kain and Matthew retreated back to where Victor was. Eric held his hands up, all of sudden a red cloud appeared above the snow golem. Marshmallow looked up to the sky to see the red cloud above him. In mere seconds Eric brought down his hands down, casting a red thunder strike to the giant snow man,
Beyond the distance the other 5 saw the red cloud as it fired red thunder. Kristoff, Anna, and Sven's eyes widened as they saw the red thunderstorm rage on. "What is that?" Anna asked.
"That's Eric casting his Ionic Storm.' said Christopher.
Back with the other four, Eric's Ionic Storm made a direct hit to the giant snowman. Marshmallow roared in pain as the electricity ran through his body. Then the snow golem blew up. Parts of him flew all around the area.
Kain and Matthew cheered "Way to go Eric!" Yelled Kain.
"You sure showed him." said Matthew
Victor didn't say anything as he saw the parts of snowman reformed himself back. Eric turned around to see the snow giant back in shape and it's pissed off even more. Seeing how useless is to fight it Eric shouted "Fuck It! Let's head back with the others."
They all ran trying to catch up with Anna and the rest of the gang.
When Anna heard that Marshmallow was coming after them again, she wondered if Victor and others we're alright before she ran over to a tree to make a distraction of her own. Time to show this snowman what she learned earlier in her adventure.
"What are you doing?" Kristoff asked as he, Sven, and Christopher ran over to her. They watched as Marshmallow came charging toward them.
Anna was glad when she saw the others running away from the gargantuan snowman. "Giving them a little hand." Just as Marshmallow was next to the tree, Anna let go of the branch she was holding on to, causing the entire tree to snap back up, striking Marshmallow. "I got him!" Anna shouted triumphantly as she and the others continued running away.
"Way to go Anna." said Victor as he and Anna fist bumped. Marshmallow howled in anger as the tree knocked him back.
The others didn't get very far before they approached the edge of the cliff. They probably would have run off it if Kristoff wouldn't have noticed it before it was too late. "Woah! Stop!" he shouted. They stopped in time thankfully. When everyone looked over the edge, they saw it was a very long drop.
"It's a hundred foot drop," Anna said.
"It's two hundred," Kristoff corrected.
Kain jumped from the cliff, Eric and Matthew did the same. Victor grabbed Christopher and then they jumped.
"Oh my God!" Anna shouted as she and Kristoff watched with horrified looks as their friends fell to the ground below. "They'll be okay, won't they?" she asked him.
"There's twenty-feet of fresh powder down there, it'll be like they're landing on a pillow. Hopefully." Kristoff began tying a rope around Anna's waist quickly before he tied another section around his'. "We have to climb down now." He grabbed his nearby ax and started digging a circle into the snow with it.
"What's that for?" Anna asked.
"It's a snow anchor. It's going to hold the rope for us while we descend." Kristoff placed one end of the rope around inside the circle. Just as he finished covering the rope with pressed down snow to hold it in place, they both heard Marshmallow's angered howls. "Okay, Anna. On three," he said while tossing the other end of the rope over the edge.
"Okay," she replied.
"One..."
"You tell me when, I'm ready to go."
"Two..."
"I was born ready! Yes!"
"Calm down." Suddenly, a tree from the forest was sent flying through the air, most likely by Marshmallow, and slammed against the ground in front of them.
"Tree!"
"What the...?" Kristoff turned around just in time to see Anna jump off the edge. The rope attached to him pulled Kristoff over the edge. "Woah!" Luckily, the snow anchor worked, holding the rope in place. "Well that happened," Kristoff remarked.
Back on top of the cliff, Olaf ran out of the forest, but something about him was wrong. His body parts were all in the wrong place and his nose was stuck on the side of his head. "Man, am I out of shape!" he remarked before stopping to breath. He rearranged his body parts in their correct positions and placed his nose back where it belonged. "There we go! Hey, Anna! Sven! Where'd you guys go? We totally lost Marshmallow back there!"
Behind the tiny snowman, Marshmallow's enormous form parted the trees as he emerged from the forest.
"Hey," Olaf said as he turned to his 'brother.' "We were just talking about you. All good things, all good things."
Marshmallow simply roared at him and advanced forward, not paying too much attention to Olaf.
"No!" Olaf shouted, running after him. In trying to stop Marshmallow, he leaped on to one of his legs and held on tight, refusing to let go. Unfortunately, it didn't help much because he simply kept walking for a few more feet. "This is not making much of a difference, is it?"
In one motion, Marshmallow flicked Olaf off his leg, sending the little snowman falling over the cliff. As Olaf fell, he screamed all the way past Anna and Kristoff as they descended down on their rope. "Olaf!" Anna shouted.
"Hang in there guys!" As Olaf fell, his body parts separated once again.
"Go faster!" Anna told Kristoff. All of a sudden, they stop moving down. "Wait, what?" Anna looked around to figure out what was going on. It was only when she looked up she found the answer. Marshmallow was pulling their rope up towards him. The pulling caused Kristoff to bounce his noggin off the side of the cliff. "Kristoff!" Anna shouted, hoping he wasn't hurt too badly by the blow.
Marshmallow pulled the two intruders up to his face. "Don't come back!" he shouted, his ice breath causing ice to form on some parts of their clothes and skin.
"We won't," Anna said, pulling out a knife from Kristoff's satchel. When she cut the rope the snow-monster was holding, both of them fell to the ground below. They both screamed and clinched their eyes shut so they wouldn't see what happened next.
Marshmallow nodded his head sharply in satisfaction. Now he would go back to his Queen, Elsa, and hope she would fix his damages.
When Anna and Kristoff landed at the bottom, they were close to where Olaf and the others were. Anna opened her eyes and saw that she was safe and sound. Snow was covering everything below her waist. As she looked around, she saw that like her, the others were still alive, making her smile. "Hey, you were right," she said to Kristoff, wherever he was. "Just like a pillow." she looked over at the others who manage to jump from a 200ft cliff and not get a scratch. Anna wanted to say something but she decided not too.
"Well we got our asses kicked by wolves and a giant snowman." said Kain with disbelief. He turned to the others "I mean come on we toke down legions of criminals, super-villains, and giant monsters. Yet we lost against wolves and a snowman?!" Kain just face-palm himself .
"Man, we're losing our touch." said Eric
"No shit." said Victor
Matthew then added, "I bet William could of taken him down without a problem."
Olaf's panicked screams got everyone's attention. His upper body was resting on the snow in front of some boots that stuck out nearby. "I can't feel my legs! I can't feel my legs!"
Suddenly, Kristoff's head and body popped up from beneath the snow Olaf was on top of. "Those are my legs," Kristoff said.
Olaf noticed the lower half of his body running past them. "Ooh. Hey, do me a favor, grab my butt," he told Kristoff. The mountain man grabbed the body and placed the rest of Olaf on top. "Oh, that feels better." At that moment, Sven, who freed himself from the snow as soon as he fell, came over and sniffed the tiny snowman. "Hey, Sven! He found us." Grabbing the reindeer's cheeks, Olaf began baby talking him. "Who's my cute little reindeer?"
Kristoff pushed Olaf away from Sven. "Don't talk to him like that."
Kain looked at Anna a little nervously. He was about to do something that he rarely did without being forced to. "Hey, uh...I'm...sorry. About...what I caused to happen in there..."
"What did you do?" Victor asked.
Anna sighed. "It wasn't completely your fault. I shouldn't have kept pushing her into coming back with us like that. It's fine, but you really shouldn't have come in when I told you not to. But I forgive you," she said with a little smile.
Victor walked over and helped Anna out of the snow. "You okay?" he asked.
"Yes, thank you," she replied. The two of them began stared at each other for a few moments. Anna quickly realized what was going on and nervously ended the moment.
She then turned to Kristoff. "How's your head?" She reached out and gently touched it with her hand, but that made Kristoff to flinch in pain.
"Ah! Ooh! Uh...it uh...it's fine. Uh...I'm good. Uh...I've got a thick skull," he replied.
"I don't have a skull...or bones," Olaf said randomly.
Eric and Christopher chuckled at the snowman's random comment.
During the awkward silence that followed, Victor spoke to Kain. "Did you happen to see William while you were in there? I wasn't able to."
"No, I didn't. Although, Elsa did give a look of recognition when I mentioned his name, so he had to have been in there at one point. Dunno where he could be now, though," Kain replied.
Christopher sighed. "Yeah, I have no clue either. Who knows where he could be now since we arrived here. He's probably out in the forest, lost."
"So...uh...so now what?"Kristoff asked.
"Now what?" Anna asked. That's when she realized what just happened meant bad news for Arendelle. They would all be stuck in eternal winter because she failed to bring Elsa back. "Now what?! Oooh! What am I gonna do? She threw me out. I can't go back to Arendelle with the weather like this. And then there's their missing friend and your ice business, and we..."
"Hey, hey, don't worry about my ice business," Kristoff interrupted. "Worry about your hair!" he said after just watching a patch of Anna's hair turn white.
"What? I just fell off a cliff! You should see your hair," Anna said, feeling a bit offended by that comment.
"No, yours is turning white."
She looked at Victor and the others. They all nodded their heads in amazement while Victor said, "He's right." Anna looked at the pigtail braid they were all looking at. "White? It's...what?!" With a gasp, she watched in surprise as part of her braid turned white right before her eyes.
