It was almost too quick. Elsa and Trevor had to escape to avoid being called witches by the dukes, who now most likely wanted to capture them. He had equipped himself with his winter outfit (Ninth-Hall Hoodie, Black Cargo Pants, Osiris D3's due to their thickness, and a beanie), and had been practically guiding Elsa as they navigate through the mountains. However, it seemed she was preoccupied with something other than her surroundings.
"You really do have strange clothing. I've never seen anything like that." She says shivering from the cold, which was kind of funny considering the fact she could control ice and winter. "B-By the way, when you said you wouldn't leave me…" She started as Trevor stopped dead in his tracks, turning his attention towards her. "I-I honestly couldn't believe you would say something so reckless. I-I um.." She then finally took a step towards him, looking him straight in his eyes. "D-Did you mean that? Did you really mean that?"
Trevor took a deep breath before looking into her even deeper, almost as if he was judging her. "Did I lie to you?"
Elsa took a step back. "W-What?"
Trevor stepped forward once more, with his demeanor now showing signs of almost disappointment and irritation. "Was everything I said before a lie? You don't believe me do you?"
"N-No that's not it at all!" Elsa said frantically, now afraid she might have hurt him again. "I-It's just that…" He looked at her even more concerned before she finally took a deep breath and practically jumped in front of him. "No one has said that to me before! I don't know how to react, okay!?" She then turned her face slightly to the side, her face visibly red. "I-I was happy you said that. I just want.." She then turned towards him again. "I want to hear your words! Do you mean it?!"
'Yes I do Elsa! Why would I lie to you?!" Trevor said as he then grabbed her hand, which by now was frosting a lot due to her fear taking over. "I'm not going to leave you behind. I will stay with you through and through. I told you that I was sent here to help you, and I'm damn sure not going to break that promise." Elsa almost turned into a tomato when he finished his piece, as that was the most selfless thing she's ever heard.
However, their conversation was cut short when Trevor heard footsteps. "Get behind me. Now." Elsa quickly got behind him, now afraid of what's to come.
"What's going on?" She asked, frightened by his sudden demand.
Trevor now saw ten silhouettes walking from their previous trail, and quickly held out his hand. "Summon! Marlin 1895!" A trapper series then fell into his hands, yet it was a bit lighter than usual. He then checked his pockets to see if ammo was there and sure enough, he found six bullets. "Elsa. You might want these." He then gave her some ear plugs, which were designed to dampen the sound of a gunshot.
"How do I put these on?" Elsa asked frantically trying to put them on.
Trevor quickly loaded the bullets into the rifle before they finally revealed themselves. "Twist them until they're skinny before inserting them in your ear! You're going to need it!" Unbeknownst to him, his ears were already protected thanks to his bracelet. Power of the plot armor I guess?
As Elsa put them on, ten figures emerged and to his shock and to Elsa's horror, a mix of arendelle soldiers, and other duke's men (including some of the Weselton men) had come after her.
"How the hell did they find us already? Did I not cover my tracks?" He thought to himself, but it didn't matter at his point. Trevor aimed the gun at the men, now armed with swords and crossbows. "Don't come any closer."
"Queen Elsa! You've caused great harm to the villagers! Please come with us, so that we may try and fix the problem." One of the soldiers said as Trevor continued to aim at them, now flipping the safety switch from safe to fire.
"Please, go back to Arendelle! I can't go back! I will cause more harm to others." She pleaded as the soldiers were closing the distance inch by inch.
"My queen please!" Another soldier pleaded, sheathing his sword as he spoke. "There has been a winter! It's getting colder by the hour, and Princess Anna has gone off to try and find you!"
"M-My sister?!" Now she was even more scared. "Why would you let her go by herself?! She's never been outside the castle!"
"It's okay your majesty. She went with the other man that was with him." He pointed to Trevor, who immediately realized it was Nakumoto.
Trevor cautiously looked at the men, who seemed to be putting down their swords, yet the three men in red winter uniforms seemed to keep their crossbows aimed at him. He lowered his rifle before speaking. "You say she has to go with you willingly." He asked as most of the soldiers nodded before he continued, tightening the grip on his lever action rifle. "What if she refuses? You clearly see she can't go back after the fiasco from the palace. We should be lucky that the villagers don't think she caused this."
"Then we will drag her back to Arendelle!" One of the red soldiers yelled as he aimed and fired his crossbow at Elsa. Trevor quickly used his rifle to block the arrow, yet it bounced off and hit him in the cheek, slashing across his face.

Elsa quickly showed a face of horror as the soldiers then advanced without warning, with some staying behind not going with this sudden act of aggression. She then got in front of him, to the shock of Trevor, and threw her arm in front of them. "Stay away!" A flurry of ice spikes form in front of the charging men, with most getting injured by impalement to the sides of their chests, and the red uniformed soldiers managing to jump out of the way.
Elsa now felt even worse than before. She injured her own soldiers trying to protect Trevor. However, by now she heard a grunt from him, and he pushed her out of the way and aimed his rifle at the main soldier charging at him.
BANG!! The rifle fired the 45-70 Government cartridge, which ballistically speaking could even send a bear to the ground, and penetrated the lead soldier, sending him back two feet before lying on the ground with a big hole in his chest. The remaining troops stopped in their tracks, covering their ears from the incredibly loud sound that emitted from the barrel of the rifle. Even Elsa flinched, not even capable of believing what she just heard. It was loud and bright, as the muzzle flash had almost blinded the other two soldiers that witnessed the death of their comrade.
Trevor quickly reloaded the rifle by cocking the lever forward, ejecting the shell of the first cartridge before loading the next one and aiming again towards the other soldiers. "If any one of you moves an inch you'll get the same treatment. Who gave you authorization to capture the queen?" He then walked up to the other red uniformed soldier, who was now cowering in fear from the rifle Trevor was wielding. "Who sent you?! It most certainly wasn't Anna! If you lie to me I swear to almighty god, I'll shoot you too!"
The other soldiers were now backing away as the red uniformed soldier was shaking like a baby exposed to a monster. "T-The Duke sent us! The D-Duke of Weselton! Please don't kill me! I have a family!" Trevor lowered his gun and stepped back, walking towards Elsa, who was obviously mortified by the whole situation.
Suddenly, another red uniformed soldier rushed at him, trying to avenge his former ally. Elsa quickly pointed at the man in fear. "TREVOR LOOK OUT!!" She practically screamed her lungs out with the plea, and Trevor looked behind him before firing his rifle again at the soldier, sending him back a bit once more before lying into the ground, fading from existence.
"Retreat! He's too powerful! We'll come back for you Queen Elsa! We promise!" The soldiers now fled the scene, grabbing their red uniformed ally before finally clearing the area.
Trevor sighed as he flipped the safety on and slinged the rifle to his side. He then turned towards Elsa, who was a little nervous and mortified by the sudden violence that had unfolded, not to mention the fact that he had just killed two foreign nation soldiers, which would surely get him arrested, and possibly executed. "What did you do?! No no no! Now the army will come after you!"
"Elsa, they were sent to capture you, not bring you back peacefully. They tried to kill you!" Trevor said as he now realized the adrenaline had just worn off. He really did kill them, but they were cartoon characters, not real people. "We need to move. I need to stay by you now more than ever. If they get more it'll be worse than before."
Elsa then looked at his face to see that he was hurt, as the arrow had made a scar on the side of his face. "You're hurt!" She grabbed his face and put a little frost on it. "Maybe I can…make us a shelter?" She asked as he nodded in agreement, knowing she would now make the ice castle.
Earlier in Arendelle….
"Everyone please! The situation is under control!" One of the councilmen said as the crowd had now only just heard about the fiasco in the halls. The people were afraid, and some were asking questions. A lot of questions. Anna and Nakumoto were sitting in a corner, with him trying to calm her down while Hans was busy trying to quell the crowd.
"Anna, I know you feel guilty, but now the people will need you." Nakumoto tried reasoning with her. It was because of Trevor's interference that this all happened. However, this was a part of the movie, as her magic reveal is what started this in the first place, so he couldn't place the entirety of blame onto him.
"It's just…that this is all my fault! My sister lost control of that…magic she has, and now the kingdom might go after her!" Anna said, trying her best to stop crying. Hans then came rushing over to Nakumoto, with a stern look on his face.
"Did you have any idea what he was planning? Are you magical in any way or form too?" He asked, now trying to get information out of him. Nakumoto scoffed at his question before standing up towards him.
"I'm not magical, and neither is he. At least to my knowledge." He answered with doubt before continuing. "I have no idea what he was planning. I assume he felt sympathy for the queen and helped her escape to avoid getting hurt."
"Well now the Duke's are thinking of ways to figure out how to get Elsa back. We don't know if they'll be violent about it." Hans finished before Anna got up in a frightened manner.
"They can't do anything bad to my sister! If they so much as hurt a little piece of her, they'll hear it from me! Right Nakamoto?!" She said while turning to him for confirmation, which he responded with a rapid bowing motion. "I'll go rescue my sister and bring her back!" She said before she looked at one of the servants. "Bring me my horse!"
"Elsa you can't go! The people need you! You don't have any chance of surviving out there, it's freezing!" Hans pleaded with his fiance to seek reason. However Nakumoto stepped forward, facing both of them.
"I'll go with her. I have extensive knowledge of mountain terrain, as they're very excessive in my country. She'll be safe, I promise." He said as he changed into winter clothing as well (Puffy Jacket With a Baseball cap and Cargo Pants along with Boots).
"Here princess!" The servant said as he gave her the reins to her house before she jumped on, helping Nakamoto on board the back of the horse.
"I leave Prince Hans in charge! I will go and retrieve my sister! No one is to question his authority!" She declared as she looked at him one last time.
"What if she hurts you?" Hans asked worryingly.
"Trust me, she won't." She answered smiling half heartedly before turning to Nakumoto. "Let's do this. You with me?"
"Always princess." Nakumoto affirmed as she kicked the horse to take off and they set out to find her sister. Now the kingdom lays in the hands of prince Hans, but it seems the Duke's have another plan in mind.
"Send three of our men along with some soldiers to retrieve her. I'm sure this can be solved…with dignity." The Duke of Weselton said as the other soldiers nodded in agreement and set out to find her…
Now in the present in Arendelle
As the effects of the winter began to unfold throughout the land, everyone was doing their best to keep warm. Prince Hans was doing his best to keep people in order, yet the Duke's became ever more selfish of their own needs.
"Why must we give the blankets to the people? We need some for ourselves!" The Duke of Weselton said as the other duke's were also shivering from the cold despite wearing good winter clothing.
"The people don't have anything else to warm themselves with. We've gathered all of the firewood we could, and it's still doing nothing more than heating us for a short amount of time." Hans said as he tried to give more blankets to the villagers.
"My lord! We have some terrible news!" A servant said as Hans turned his attention towards the wounded soldiers who had returned from their supposed secret mission to capture Elsa.
"What?!" He ran towards one of the men, which was the same exact soldier that Trevor had sparred. "What happened to you?"
"W-We were sent by the Duke's to retrieve Elsa. They thought it would be best to take her in to see if she could reverse the weather, but that man that was with her killed two of my comrades! He had this weapon that blew two holes into my friends! He's dangerous! He must be manipulating her!" The soldier said as Hans looked towards the Duke's with disdain.
"How dare you send men without my authorization!" Hans yelled as he slammed his fist against a table. "It's no wonder she's doing all of this, she's being held hostage by that man! We must go after him!" Suddenly another servant appears.
"Your highness, princess Anna's horse has come back empty handed! Anna and that man must have been lost in the mountians!" She said as the other duke's now looked towards Hans.
His face said it all. He was afraid, angry. "I need volunteers! We will go capture this man and bring Elsa back to arendelle! Who will come with me?"
Many soldiers raised their hands, including most of the dukes men. "Good! We will move out shortly! Gather all the supplies and weapons we need!" Hans then looked towards the mountains through the frosted window. "I leave her in your hands now, stranger. Keep her safe."
On the other side of the room however, the Duke looked towards the group with malicious intent. "You two are to go and eliminate the queen. Maybe her death will bring an end to this cursed winter."
"And if anyone gets in our way sir?" The bodyguard asked.
"Kill them as well. I don't need any signs of evidence in our grasp, and see to it that the man with her is killed as well. Maybe I'll get a reward for the man who murdered my men." The Duke said maliciously as the two bodyguards went to join the volunteer group, where now we wonder what happened to Anna and Nakumoto…
