Chapter 9: Glaciar's True Colors
Star was still watching more of Frostbite and Glaciar's past, thanks to the ecto-memory crystal.
She continued to watch as the memories then showed images of Frostbite's first few decades of being the new chief and having Glaciar as his second in command, all of which passed by in seconds.
"After I became chief and made him my second in command, things had been fine at first and were for many years...but over time, there was a change in Glaciar and he became much more arrogant and more cautious as he noticed that the powers from outside of the Far Frozen were slowly growing in strength..."Frostbite continued to explain what had happened.
"So, he became paranoid?..."Star asked.
"To put it simply. Yes..."Frostbite said with a sigh. "Even worse, his pride continued to grow and he continued to go down a dark path. To obsess with getting more power and control, under the belief that it was to protect us from the dangers he predicted were hiding outside our snowy borders. Even if the way he did so left something to be desired..."The yeti chief muttered bitterly, before his expression turned to sadness.
Star sent him a concerned look as the ghost continued his sad tale.
"He continued to act like this...and gradually, he no longer resembled the young cub who I used to throw snowballs at and learned the arts of tactics and strategy with. Just watch and see..."Frostbite said as he felt regretful for not spotting the changes in his best friend sooner.
Star continued to watch a scene where Glaciar was in the middle of an argument with some soldiers just outside and near the border.
"General Glaciar! You can't do this!..."One of the younger warriors shouted.
"Are you actually defying my orders? Do you wish to challenge my authority?..."Glaciar asked, looking mad now.
"N-no sir...I simply don't understand the point of venturing out into the territory realms of our allies without permission..."The young warrior responded.
"It's not your place to question your general's order. Now do as you're commanded or face punishment!..."Glaciar ordered, but the other warriors refused to budge.
"Know your rank soldier. If you don't wish to challenge me, then I order you to kneel. Or do you truly believe yourself to be superior to me due to possessing more physical strength than me, who is second only to our chief. The Great Frostbite. The successor of Great Chief Cold..."Glaciar said in a bossy way, as he talked down towards a certain warrior yeti that noticed had potential for greatness.
"Kneel? That's not a rule and only Chief Frostbite has the authority to send out warriors to scouts outside the borders of the Far Frozen. Not to mention that the territory in question is our trusted allies. You do realize that they could take it the wrong way or even see it as an act of treachery?!..."One of the warriors, Polar, said in annoyance.
"In case you forgot, I am second in command, and I am simply sending our most capable warriors to scout and defend against any forces that threatened of tribe's way of life. If you have a problem with it, I can easily talk to the chief and I am sure that he will take my side..."Glaciar said, believing that his actions were just.
After all, he knew that beings outside beyond the borders of the Far Frozen were slowly grow in strength and power and could pose a serious threat towards their tribe's people if they aren't careful. Or at least that is what he seemed to believe.
"Then talk to the chief first and we'lll see what he says..."Another soldier said, and Glaciar thought he was being a smart mouth right now.
He didn't like what he viewed as disrespect. Glaciar then grabbed the young warrior's plate armor and glared at him. The two ghost's yeti's continued to argue until someone showed up to break it up any potential fights.
"What is all this commotion about?!..."Past Frostbite asked as he rushed over after hearing about a possible dispute between rank.
Glaciar stopped and smiled as soon as he saw his boss/old friend.
"Ah, my chief. Just in time. This one is disrespecting my orders..."The second in command said, while the other warriors tried to defend themselves.
"He is giving ridiculous commands, my chief! He is demanding that we scout into the territory realms of our allies under suspension of harboring followers of Pariah Dark! Even though he has no evidence to back up such a wild accusation!..."Polar argued, while Glaciar glared at him.
The two yeti's faces then exchanged a more serious expressions, while the Chief tried to cool down the situation.
"Settle down you two. We can settle this reasonably..."Past Frostbite said, breaking up the fight.
He then turned to his second in command and wanted to at least get his side of these claims.
"Glaciar, what was this that I heard about you ordering around the men and these talks of powerful enemies from beyond our borders?..."Frostbite said, while his second in command sent him a cocky look.
"I was merely using my own authority as second in command to provide proper security within our land as I saw fit, Chief. You know as well as I do that Pariah Dark's subordinates still lurk somewhere across the Ghost Zone. Possibly causing other factions and individuals to grow in strength and power to match the likes of even the Fright Knight!..."Glaciar said, sounding paranoid as he said so as he kept trying to convince him friend and boss.
Danny's girlfriend looked alarmed now after hearing this.
"Pariah Dark had subordinates? Who would willing work with or for a ruler like him?..." Star questioned, sounding worried.
"Evil ghosts who have long since been dealt with by the Observant council. All his generals but the Fright Knight were long sense destroyed. Now none would dare free that monster, no one in their right mind at least..."Present Frostbite said, still angered that Vlad actually freed Pariah Dark in an attempt to steal from the Ghost King's tome.
They continued to watch the memory unfold.
"Glaciar..."Frostbite's past self tried to say something, but his friend cut him off and continued with his rant.
"We need to prepare ourselves for anyt inevitable outcome. And the only way to do so is improve our own strengths and traverse others realm, even our own allies. It never hurts to be sure. After all, we need to make sure those who we see as our allies actually are on our side..."Glaciar said, trying to voice out his worries to the chief.
His old friend sighed and knew that while paranoid, his old friend was concerned for their people's safety and prosperity.
"Glaciar, don't you think that you're being too overly cautious about these baseless rumors? Besides both Pariah Dark and the Fright Knight have been sealed away for nearly a century now..."Frostbite said, as he tries to reason with his second in command.
"For now, at least. However, those two were the only ones that were sealed away, but some of Pariah Dark's other subordinates are still left unaccounted for...meaning they could still be hiding and gathering more power and strength to either free their master and comrade or try to rule the ghost zone instead. Frankly, I don't want to risk either possibility becoming a reality..."Glaciar said as he walks away.
"Glaciar, I do believe you are being paranoid. Other than the Fright Knight, Pariah has no true allies as the others have already been dealt with by the Observants..."Frostbite said, believing that they have seen the last of the Ghost King.
"That's what we have been told, yet there is no confirmation of said subordinates being destroyed, while only their followers have been detained. Even so...you never know if someone is scheming to release him and we must do everything we can to prevent it. As well as for any other possible enemies that are there...waiting to strike at us when our guard is down..."Glaciar argued.
"The skeleton key is in the possession of Behemoth, and no one is daft enough to challenge him to a fight. And even if they are, we all know that won't end well for those fools. Even so, there is no ghost mad enough or stupid enough to willingly release the Ghost King by choice. I sincerely that there ever be such an individual that would be so arrogant to do such a bone headed thing..."Young Frostbite said.
Star sent Frostbite a look, who sighed.
"Keep in mind, this was LONG before Plasmius ever existed, and no one thought anyone would actually try something that stupid. Everyone, but Glaciar that is..."He said, as they continued to watch the argument that happened many years ago.
"You are too carefree, my old friend. We have to be prepared for everything. Only fools leave things to chance..."Glaciar said in a haughty way, while remaining on the side of caution.
Young Frostbite could certainly understand where Glaciar's reasoning behind all these overly cautious preparations came from, but the chief simply thought that his old friend was being paranoid. Not to mention that Frostbite had focus his concerns on the current state of the Far Frozen. Such as making sure their home was safe and was a peaceful enough place for yeti cubs to play in snow as they used too when they were young and carefree.
"Even so, what you are asking to do is very extreme. I can send a request to our allies to give us an update if they know anything of Pariah Dark's supporters if you are so concerned, but that's as far as we can go without risking our alliance..."Young Frostbite said sternly.
Glaciar didn't look satisfied, but Young Frostbite thought it was the best compromise for them.
"As you can see, Glaciar didn't agree with my choice. And unfortunately, this would only be one of many instances where he thought he knew better than everyone else...including me and that should have warned me of changes going on within him..."Present Frostbite said, as he showed more scenes of his old friend taking advantage as his position as his second in command and scientific advisor.
As well as misusing his power.
The future traitor of the Far frozen continued to making preparations for any potential threats that might rise up against his people in the future. Glaciar even manage to build an underground banker to construct his machines to defend against the enemies outside the borders of their winder landscapes.
"He'll thank me for this later..."Glaciar told himself, as he continued preparing and improving the defenses of the Far Frozen in secret.
"Wait...how did you know about this?..."Star asked, since she didn't see Frostbite's past self here
"I am the chief of the Far Frozen. I make it my job to know about everything that is happening within my land..."Present Frostbite said, as he did more hand gestures to continue.
Star watched more memories of Glaciar acting too arrogant and rude to the other warriors, while Frostbite kept lecturing him and Glaciar ignored the advice of his oldest friend.
"However, dealing with Glaciar's tantrums was my first test as a leader and I failed..."Present Frostbite said, looking ashamed as they kept watching.
Star continued to watch more of these past events. She watched another event about an argument between Glaciar and Frostbite, with the former ignoring his friends' warnings and prioritizing his own preparations. No, he was so set in his ways and continued to remain stubborn. Glaciar kept ignoring his old friends words, which irritated the leader of the Far Frozen.
"Don't ignore me, Glaciar!..."Past Frostbite said, glaring at him.
"Oh no, I do believe that you shouldn't ignore me or my warnings. It may just lead to more than just your downfall..."Glaciar said in a defiant way.
Past Frostbite didn't like the way his old friend said that and misunderstood it as a threat solely directed at himself.
"That wouldn't be a challenge, would it?..."Past Frostbite demanded in anger, but Glaciar shook his head.
"Of course not, I would never even think about going against the chief of our people and besides, I swore my everlasting loyalty to you and our people of the Far Frozen. All I want is what is best for our tribe. To protect it from all threats and dangers lurking within the ghost zone..."Glaciar denied, as he continued to walk away to think up of other ways to defend against possible dangers from outside their borders of their realm.
"After all, as a warrior of the Far Frozen, my duty is to also make sure to prevent another invasion from happening. Like the ones from Pariah Dark and his subordinates...it is better to be prepared for any circumstance..."Glaciar said, refusing to accept he might be wrong.
"Are any of these precautions even necessary during our time of peace? The ghost zone has not had any wars since the ghost king was locked away. We need not go this far, do we?..."Frostbite asked, while Glaciar rolled his eyes at his brother in arms not seeing his point of view of needing to be ready for any dangerous threats during times of peace.
"Old friend, sometimes you can be a bit too optimistic..."Glaciar said, not to be disrespectful but stating what he felt was a fact.
Present Frostbite stared at Glaciar with a conflict expression, wondering if he should have given some of former friend's words of concern of lingering threats more seriously back then.
"Ironically, his seemingly paranoid predictions actually turned out somewhat true centuries later, but those do not excuse all of his actions as he was still not following proper protocol and listening to me. Even so, that isn't the point. But those are stories for another time..."Present Frostbite said, while Danny's girlfriend looked curious now.
"What was that about a challenge? What's that about?..." Star asked, as the ghostly yeti explained another aspect of their culture.
"In the Far Frozen culture, in order to become chief, one must either be appointed as the successor of the previous chief or challenge the current one in a duel for that title. Glaciar failed at the former and didn't want to do the latter, but he still wanted more power. Apparently being the second most powerful person in our tribe wasn't enough for him..."Present Frostbite said, frowning.
"Unfortunately, I never noticed that back then and I continued to put up with his antics both out of respect for our old friendship and because I owed him gratitude for saving me. I thought perhaps he would atone and learn to be a little more humble and accept that he's not always right about everything. Big Mistake..."He grumbled.
Star sent him a concerned look, as the yeti chief sighed before he continued to confess his own mistakes from the past.
"Admittedly, I had made many mistakes in the past, even after I became chief. However, I never once regretted all the new friends and allies that I've made during my time as Chief of the Far Frozen. I even managed to become friends with Pandora. Although that is a tale for another time perhaps. A more peaceful one..."He said.
"I see..."Star said.
"Indeed. A warrior must always be honorable even in defeat...and must be willing to accept accountability if they make a mistake or an unwise choice. Something that the great ones team learned when you joined. He has told me many things about how you have aided them greatly and offered advice to the great one in his time of need, and they in turn offered help and advised you...something Glaciar never learned to do so as he always insists that he is always right no matter what..."Frostbite explained, as they continued to watch more of Glaciar's growing ego and arrogance, as well as him acting smug and condescending to the other warriors.
And how Frostbite's past self only kept lecturing him but not preventing him from secretly continuing his preparations from behind the chief's back.
"Old friend, you need to understand that your way of thinking like a dual blade. Yes, its formidable tool to helps you during your hunts, but in the end, it will hurt you if you wield without caution. I know that I would do so much differently. After all, I know what I'm doing..."Glaciar said arrogantly after dismissing Frostbite's words again after he was lectured yet again.
Star saw this and a small sense of familiarity in this routine of Frostbite and Glaciar and couldn't help but be reminded of "an old friend" of her own.
"And I thought Paulina had an ego. But this guy is seriously giving her a run for her money..." Star commented.
"Who?..."Present Frostbite asked.
"Let's just say that she was kinda like my Glaciar...only not as smart or loyal at first and even less egotistical, surprisingly enough. Even so, I never really considered it a real betrayal after we stopped being friends, since to be honest, I never liked or trusted her all that much in the first place in order to be hurt by her actions..." Star explained.
"I see..."Present Frostbite said, sounding a bit confused now as Star kept talking.
"So, I am guessing that even if he still had an ego, he hasn't been fired yet by this point, am I right?..."Star guessed, and the yeti nodded.
"Yes...his achievements up to this point were remarkable and unmistakably beneficial to our people's long-lasting peace, so that was one reason why we tolerated him for so long. But those achievements came with a price of an overinflated ego. He did grow more confident after each achievement and that same growing confidence cast a big shadow of paranoia that if he ever faltered then he might lose all of which he gained over the years..."Present Frostbite said, as more memories were shown.
Memories of Glaciar making preparations for multiple contingency plans for any outside enemies that dare try to invade the Far Frozen. Some were made with reasonable concern for the possible future, others made from outlandish worries of paranoia of other realms that didn't even have anything due with Pariah's forces being against them.
Still regardless of what other's said, Glaciar continued his work to prepare against an enemy that only Glaciar seemed to believe that existed out there.
Star saw this all and started to understand why Frostbite got worried at the mention of his former friend's name. The blonde girl kept listening as the chief of the Far Frozen continued to explain what had happened to his former friend, and the more Star heard, the less she liked hearing the info and seeing how Glaciar less friendly than he was at the beginning of these memories.
"So, to put it bluntly...Glaciar started walking down the path of a bad guy after power and paranoia danced around in his head for a few hundred years, huh? Maybe what he really needed back then was some therapy?..." Star said, thinking that Jazz could get famous by writing a book about Glaciar's mentality.
"Unfortunately, they weren't that many therapists in the ghost zone at the time and the only one closest was Spectra at the time and she would just make things worse..."Frostbite said and Star blinked.
"Wait...Spectra has been around since back then? How old exactly is she?..." Star asked, curious to know about the ghoul who was obsessed with being seen as young.
"Honestly, I don't think even my predecessor knew since she was around back in his youth, and she always changes her career to suit whatever goal she needs. She also never likes talking about her age. To this day, she keeps insisting to everyone she meets that she is 29..."Present Frostbite explained and Star rolled her eyes.
"Oh please. If she's 29, then Colette is NATURALLY a redhead..." Star muttered, while the ghost yeti blinked.
"Who?..."Frostbite asked, not familiar with that name.
"Never mind, just hope you'll never have to meet here. Anyway, what else happened?..."Star asked, wanting to know more about the story.
Present Frostbite then did more hand gestures, and the scenes continued until he reached another scene familiar to him. It was another memory of his past self who was currently lecturing his former second in command.
Yet again.
They were clearly in another disagreement, this time about one of Glaciar's inventions using too many of their resources and energy and how Frostbite felt it wasn't practical for their village, while Glaciar's ego refused to accept the criticism and tried to argue about the benefits of his inventions in the long run.
"Why can't you understand greater purpose of my inventions? You haven't shown this much criticism of ones before it!..."Glaciar argued, and Past Frostbite sighed.
"That's because those machines you made were for our people's technological development and prosperity. But these new inventions of yours are just meant for war and battle against enemy forces. We are in a time of peace, what greater purpose is these for machines of war in an era of peace?..."He said, while his friend remained stubborn, but Frostbite just left him with a warning for the time being.
It's precisely because we're entering a time of peace that we should prepare for any war against an enemy that dare threaten our era of peace. Why can't you see that?!..."Glaciar explained.
"Glaciar, enough. These machines of yours may be useful in a battle but we do not need them now. And worst of all is that they are draining our resources the more you use them. I'm sorry but unless there is actually an attack on our home, we have no need to use these..."Past Frostbite said, as he merely gave a form order to his friend to shut it down before leaving.
Frostbite looked ashamed of his past self's indecisiveness and going easy on his old friend.
"So...Glaciar kept acting all crazy like this, but he was still your second in command by this point? Even after he got an attitude problem?..."Star asked, and her friend nodded.
"I was young and foolish back then. I had so much to learn what it meant to be chief and leader. And Glaciar, well...he was still acting like he needed to prove himself from time to time and after his view of the Ghost Zone was widened, the changes within him were evident. I just couldn't see it happening, even after he quietly made preparations to deal with certain potential threats from beyond our borders behind my back..."Frostbite said gravely, wishing that he had stopped his old former friend sooner.
Star sent him a sympathetic look.
"You didn't know just how crazy he was getting. It wasn't your fault that he changed over time. Lot of friends don't stay the same after growing up, even relationships..." Star said as she recalled her own past with her own former friends and how much she changed over time, but the chief sent her a stern look of disagreement.
"It was my fault. I gave him too much power and I was too lenient on him. Power that he was nowhere near ready for it. I also went far too easy on him whenever he acted out of line. I treated him not as a chief to a warrior, but as two brothers but that was not what my tribe needed. What my tribe truly needed was a leader...I was no longer a cub but a chief of all things. I let my personal feelings cloud my judgement and I ended up playing favorites and let Glaciar get away with a lot of things due to the bond we once shared and that's not right. A real leader needs to be decisive, impartial and overall fair. No one should be given special treatment just because they shared history with one another. I learned that the hard way..."The yeti chief said, still feeling regretful for a lot of things in his past.
"Unfortunately, things only got worse after that..."Frostbite said, as more memories were shown.
The scene then changed to the young adult Frostbite arguing with a young adult Glaciar about using one of the ancient relics under the Far Frozen's protection for the beneficial security for the Ghost Yeti tribe. And by that, he meant using it to invade another realm under suspicion of being supporters of former Ghost King, Pariah Dark.
However, this action did not go unnoticed by Chief Frostbite and he needed to confront his old friend. Especially since it was something that simply can't be brushed aside.
A young Glaciar stood solemnly right outside of the Far Frozen's science labs as he stares off into the winter horizon and then walked inside as he pondered his next actions. While seemingly talking to himself in a quieted tone. Meanwhile, a younger Chief Frostbite looked angry and he marched into one of the science labs and found his best friend inside. He spotted the head of the lab, looking nonchalant and defiant as the chief of their tribe marched over to him in absolute fury.
"I heard it all from Blizzard, Glaciar! How dare you try and use the Infi-map without permission?! You know that the map should not be used for personal desires?!..."Frostbite said, sounding truly angry.
"I apologize my chief, but you were in the middle of a meeting, and I did not wish to interrupt. I just needed it to locate some materials for my latest machine. Worry not, for I have only used to travel through distance not time, as traveling throughout time would far too risky even for me. I'm not foolish enough to interfere with the domain of Clockwork, only a mad man would ever dare to try such a foolish thing..."Glaciar said in a carefree way, but Frostbite was having none of it.
"Do not patronize me, Glaciar! You know that it's our sworn duty to protect the infi-map! We cannot use it for frivolous things or for something that would put it in jeopardy!..."Frostbite said, looking like he was about to lose his temper.
"And what was this about you using the map to trespass onto Pandora's territory to steal materials from there?! She's one of our allies and has been so for years! Why would you dare steal from her territory?!..."Past Frostbite yelled.
"I wasn't stealing. They were just some wild plants that just happened to have been growing on her property that I needed to create a fuel source, and they were the closest that I can find. I'm sure that she wouldn't care once she understood it was for the good of the Far Frozen..."Glaciar said like it's no big deal.
This nonchalant attitude enraged the chief even more now.
"This is serious, Glaciar! We have a treaty with Pandora's realm, and what you did is trespassing and theft since they still belonged to her realm! You could have very well jeopardized our truce with her and possibly the rest of the ghost zone!..."Past Frostbite yelled.
"I sincerely doubt anyone would start a war over some insignificant plants, old friend. It's not like I took her precious box. Now that would be beyond foolish for anyone to try to attempt..."Glaciar said, still acting indifferent.
"GLACIAR! This is serious!..."Past Frostbite yelled at him, but his friend kept making light of the situation.
"Do not get your fur in knots, my brother. I only briefly used our dear map to gather necessary materials and nothing more. I returned the map exactly where it is still where you left it. As I said, I merely used it for a simple gathering quest. I completed this task successfully without a hint of any issues to speak of. And as for Pandora, we'll just send her some apology letter or something. Maybe some of our rarer planets as compensation, it's no big deal..."Glaciar said like it was no big deal.
Past Frostbite couldn't stand this attitude of his and snarled.
"That's not the Point, Glaciar! Whether or not we are friends does not change the fact that you still have to answer to me and the fact that you even used the Infi-map without my knowing is a direct violation of our people's sacred duties, as well as risking a breaking a treaty with one of our allies. You don't seem to be aware of just how serious this situation is!..."He reminded, as he was even yelling at his friend now.
Glaciar frowned, but stayed firm as he believed his reasonings were just for the sake of the Far Frozen.
"I am fully aware of my actions, brother. But I know without a doubt in my very core that my actions were for the benefit and the continuous prosperity of our people and the Far Frozen. I apologize that I didn't ask you for permission for providing greater security in our defenses, but it was for the good of the Far Frozen. Why can't you see that I am doing this for the benefit for our people and home?!..."He said arrogantly, before he old friend snarled again before leaving.
"Geez, what an ego..." Star said.
"Yes...an unfortunately, that ego ended up creating a rift between us...one that I had noticed too late..."Present Frostbite said, as more memories were shown.
It was the following evening, and a meeting was held between the chief and the highest-ranking council of the Far Frozen, but Glaciar wasn't a part of the decision they just made.
Once Glaciar had heard that decisions within the council meetings were done without his involvement, he was understandably upset. He couldn't believe what he just heard from his old friend and responded back with amounts of shock.
"You cannot be serious!..."Glaciar shouted in dismay.
"I am very serious. Glaciar! What you did is not something that cannot be overlooked. The Infi-map is our greatest treasure, and your arrogance and paranoia nearly risked its safety. And you nearly risked our people going to war because you didn't respect the treaty and acting so reckless. I'm sorry but...for the time being... it seems that you are relieved of duty..."Past Frostbite said, as he took the key back from his friend.
Glaciar looked like he was just enraged and stood in place with both fists clenched in anger. Frostbite hated to do this, but he didn't have a choice. All the eyes of the tribe's council were on him, and he knew that he needed to act like the leader their tribe needs now.
He could no longer cover for his old friend or clean up his messes. Not anymore.
With a heavy heart, the chief of the Far Frozen had to discipline his own second in command. Even if he wished it had not ended up like this.
"Perhaps one day you can prove yourself worthy of this key and all it represents again, but until then, it will be with me, and I will keep it safe for the time being. I'm sorry old friend, but it's over..."Frostbite said, unaware that the rift between the two brothers just grow bigger and bigger.
Glaciar's fists shook but he said nothing as he marched out of that hut. Yet the anger, hurt and betrayal in his eyes never left, but they did grow angrier too. Especially when he seemingly began to quietly talk to himself on a hushed tone.
Star saw this and only had this to describe what she had just witnessed.
"That was harsh..." Star said, frowning after seeing this.
"Indeed, but I had no choice. Our number one duty is to protect the Infi-map and never to use it unless it was absolutely necessary and Glaciar just broke that rule, and to cause trouble with our allies all due to his carelessness and arrogance. He would have continued acting reckless unless stopped. Though he still believed that his actions were in the right at that time, he was still walking a very dangerous and dark path back then. Unfortunately, things only got worse after that..."Present Frostbite said, before he fast forwards a few weeks later.
At that Frostbite hadn't seen nor heard from Glaciar since he demoted him and it did worry the chief greatly, but he decided that his old friend need his space to cool down.
Present Time
"So, Frostbite knows Pandora?..."Sam questioned.
"Apparently, and because of Glaciar, they nearly ended up causing trouble with her when he used the map to steal from her garden..." Star explained.
"I'm surprised that she let him go, Frostbite must have gone through a lot of effort just to remain on her good side..."Danny said, as he recalled how, despite being kind, Pandora is the LAST person you want angry with you.
"Wait...Pandora...you mean the ancient Greek legend? You know her?..."Misty asked in awe.
"Yeah, a clueless goof called the Box Ghost, who thinks he's a supervillain, somehow managed to steal her box and became an actual threat for about...well, about twenty-two minutes. She's actually really nice...as long as you don't steal from her..." Danny explained, recalling how the Box Ghost had to serve her for months as payback before she grew annoyed with him and him constantly shouting "Beware".
"Moving on. Frostbite told me more of his past and I saw it with my own eyes...and it really wasn't pretty..." Star said, as she continued with the story.
Back to the story
Star watched more memories after Glaciar had been demoted and the two yeti's having a falling out with each other.
Frostbite continued to explain that at the time, he truly thought he made the right call and what was best for their tribe, as well as his friend. That with enough time to reflect and give each other some space, Glaciar would eventually come around. Frostbite had hoped that his friend used this time apart to calm and better himself. However, it would seem that Glaciar didn't see it that way back then and he had other plans to use this time apart for something else.
The former second in command had practically vanished from public view of the Far Frozen, but most of the civilians, hunter, scientists or warriors didn't seem to notice. Since this wasn't too out of character for Glaciar in his more recent years.
Glaciar had actually locked himself in his own underground bunker, since he had a spare key that no one but he knew about. The demoted Ghost Yeti hadn't left his underground bunker and continued his preparation with his machines, especially one in particular.
One that he thought would redeem his honor and his duty as one of the protectors of The Far Frozen. One that he was testing a particularly unstable power source on.
"It will all be worth it. I know it..."The yeti thought, truly believing that what he is doing is for the best chance to secure the safety and prosperity of his home.
As well as help him regain the title, power, respect and admiration that he had worked so hard for, only to lose by the foolishness on someone he once saw as his friend.
"And soon, even Frostbite will see for himself that as always, I'm right. And then I can get back what I deserve..."He thought as he continued to work on what he thought would bring back his former power and glory.
However, someone showed up and didn't like what he was doing to say the least.
"Glaciar? What is the meaning of this? Why using so much power? And what is the meaning of this machine that I was not even been aware of?!..."Frostbite said as he showed up.
He had received multiple noise complaints and that a lot of their power was being wasted, and it all led him here.
"Frostbite, get back! My masterpiece is not ready yet!..."Glaciar said in a hostile way.
The leader of the Far Frozen, however, didn't wait for his friend to come to his senses and tried to put matters into his own paws. He tried to shut down the machine but Glaciar tried to stop him.
"No, you don't understand. I-..."Glaciar tried but his friend cut him off.
"ENOUGH! Your little project is draining the energy from our emergency generators! And you had no authorization to do this! I'm shutting it down right now!..."Frostbite yelled, as he tired to shut off the machine by force.
However, his "old friend" refused to allow that to happen since he was so close to achieving what he wanted.
"NO!..."Glaciar shouted, looking enraged.
He then shot a freezing energy blast at his old friend to stop him and temporarily kept him in one place, unaware of the mistake he had just made since he had hit more than just Frostbite with that blast.
"Glaciar, how dare you! Release me at once!..."Frostbite ordered, as he glared at his friend.
"I'm sorry, old friend! But you left me with no choice!..."Glaciar shouted, refusing to accept this was his fault.
"Excuse me?!..."Frostbite shouted in anger as the ice melted, freeing him.
But Frostbite's fear of the unknown machine that he was trying to destroy caused a chain reaction within in a manner of seconds.
As he had frozen Frostbite and is now unfreezing him, Glaciar had unknowingly did the same to a cable that was now damaged because of his reckless actions.
The now damaged cable began to spark and affect the machine negatively, which both yeti's noticed.
"What's going on?..."They both asked at the same time, but it was too late.
The sparks caused the machine to short circuit, which made Glaciar panic as he tried to save it. However, the chain reaction continued, and things just got worse and worse.
Glaciar was horrified as he realized what had just happened.
"No! Look at what you made me do!..."Glaciar shouted, blaming his old friend as he tried to save his machine.
The ghostly yeti tried to fix it, but the damage was too severe, especially with the energy source that was not stable.
It got worse as Glaciar tried to save his machine, but nothing could help. It was overloading the energy was becoming dangerously unstable.
"Oh no! If this continues, this whole place will explode, and the energy will be the equivalent of being hit with ectoranium!..."Glaciar said in a panic.
"Oh no! We got to turn it off!..."Past Frostbite said, as he tried to turn off the machine before it destroyed either of them or their village.
He tried to turn it off, but even unplugging it didn't help as the damage was already done. The chief of the Far Frozen tried to use his ice powers to freeze the machine, but it did little to help. He kept firing as much icy energy as he could to freeze the whole machine, while he covers the machine in a cage of ice, he also unknowingly fueled the machine with more ice energy.
"We gotta stop it!..."Frostbite yelled, as he tried to use more of his own power to protect them.
However, the energy source that was about to be implanted into the machine to activate it was far too unstable. Frostbite begged Glaciar to stop what he was doing before it was too late.
Glaciar refused, as he believed that he could figure out a way to make the unstable energy source more compatible with his machine by inscribing some ancient Far Frozen runes on to it. But one of the runes placed on the energy source reacted negatively with each other and glowed brighter than any light that either ghost yetis had ever seen before.
Frostbite knew what would happen and panicked.
"Glaciar! Look out!..."Frostbite reacted out of instinct and tackled Glaciar out of the way as the unstable energy source exploded violently in the flash of freezing light.
This action caused irreversible damage done to not just the underground bunker, but to Frostbite, Glaciar and many ghost yetis from the surface of the Far Frozen. This caused a panic on the surface of the Far Frozen, but that wasn't known to Frostbite and Glaciar as they both slowly regained consciousness from that explosion.
Past Frostbite tried to use his powers to keep the machine from overloading, but it did little to help and the area was already very dangerous and an explosion was all but guaranteed to happen at any time, so their only change was to escape. But Frostbite was still using his powers to keep an impending blast at bay by creating a shield, but the energy was too strong, and he was starting to lose his concentration.
Past Frostbite had expected his old friend to help. However, his old friend did not rush to his aid. Frostbite kept calling out to him, as Glaciar stared his friend with a is calculating expression.
Calculating and cruel.
Frostbite didn't notice and became desperate as the area became more unstable and some of the icy stone like wall began to show cracks within them. Frostbite began to panic and called out for help to whom he still thought was his friend.
"Glaciar! My friend! Help me!..." Frostbite shouted as he tried to keep the energy contained, but it took all of his strength to simply keep the energy blast at bay so it wouldn't destroy them or their village.
Glaciar began to use his powers, aimed his arms out. However, the target of his attack wasn't what Frostbite was expecting.
The target was Frostbite himself.
"AHHHH!..."Frostbite let out a pained yell as he was struck from behind betrayal and confusion filled his eyes as Glaciar leaned in close.
"Yes...it's starting to become clear to me now. You have always stood in my way, but not anymore..." He whispered maliciously before leaving.
"Glaciar?! What in the Ghost Zone are you doing?!..."Frostbite loudly asked, as he turned his head and saw the state of his old friend.
Glaciar seemed to be in conversation with someone that only he could see, while Frostbite simply thought that his friends was delirious and talking to himself. If only things were so innocent.
Glaciar realized he had two options here that were going through his mind right now. One option would be to help his old friend, and they would both escape this...and the other option...unfortunately...was on his mind right now.
"What's going on?! Has he lost his mind?..."Frostbite thought, unable to comprehend what was happening at the moment.
However, to his horror...Glaciar had left...leaving him behind to his fate. Frostbite was at a lose for words as the explosion then erupted in another blinding flash of light.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!..."Was heard loudly as an explosion happened that could be heard for miles.
One that Glaciar managed to escape with the help of his own invention. He looked back and had no expression on his face.
"Goodbye, old friend..."He said, before leaving as he believed no ghost could survive that.
Unknown to him, someone just did.
Frostbite was now injured on the ground, in pain and clutching his damaged arm that was now furless and covered in ice cold burns. Sizzling steam rose from the wounds and it was clear this was an injury that can't easily be recovered from.
"G-gla...ciar..."Frostbite quietly said, as he tried to find the strength to get back up.
Star gasped in horror. It was horrifying and excruciating seeing a friend in that condition and soon realized what this must have meant.
"HE'S the reason you lost your arm?!..." Star exclaimed, horrified.
"Indeed, he was..."Present Frostbite said, as he glanced to the ice arm that was created in its place.
"It is no exaggeration to say that surviving that explosion cost me my arms on that dreadful day. And I lost my brother, perhaps due to his own desire to prove his worth by slowly losing his former self. And I didn't see that until it was too late..."He solemnly said, as they continued to watch.
The memories fast forward and then showed Glaciar on his way back to their village. With no shred of remorse on his face and actually having the audacity to smirk right now.
Glaciar, believing his "old friend' was no more, continue to head back to the village and continued to smirk evilly.
He was mentally writing a eulogy for Frostbite; it had to be perfect for his brutish imbecilic brother sacrifice himself to save his people from an even great natural disaster.
"Okay...best put on my most heartbroken face when I read out his "will", which leaves me as the next to lead the tribe..."Glaciar thought, believing that his "old friend" would have done the same to him if things had been reversed.
Not that he would ever be dumb enough to be fooled like that dunce.
Still, that smirk lessened a bit as he thought back to what happened and the look on his old friend's face before he had left him to his fate. The evil yeti shook his head, not seeing it as hi fault.
If he felt even the slightest shred of guilt for his actions, he either ignore it or wasn't aware of it as he continued to tell himself he didn't do anything wrong.
"If only things had turned out differently. If only Frostbite had trusted me...trusted...what we used to have..."Glaciar thought, still refusing to see himself in the wrong here.
The yeti ghost didn't want thing to reach that level but failed to realize how he could have avoided it.
"What could I have done to change things for the better?..."Glaciar thought to himself but shook his head as he told himself that he had no choice.
He still believed that Frostbite would continue to interfere with progress with halting all threats, so he had to be removed
A lie that only he was actually crazy enough to believe.
Anyway. he was about to gather all the warriors and announced with a "heavy heart" that the chief was no more and with "great reluctance" he will take over the role of new chief.
The evil yeti ghost slowly made his way towards the surface, but to his shock, Frostbite appeared and somehow still found the strength to stand on his feet.
"GLACIAR!..."An enraged voice roared as many ice beams and pillars of icicles blocked Glaciars path.
Glaciar saw Frostbite and gasped when he saw his "old friend" was still there, albeit with one less limb. The treacherous yeti couldn't believe it.
The amount of negative energy from that blast should have been equivalented to being exposed to ectoranium. There is no way any ghost could have survived it. And yet, Frostbite was still around.
"You survived?!That's impossible!..."He exclaimed and realized his mistake too late.
"YOU TRIED TO DESTROY ME!..."Past Frostbite yelled as he fired an ice beam at him.
Glaciar dodged it and pulled up his weapon. A high tech one he invented a weapon to overcome his old friend's brute strength. Said weapon was never fully tested, but Glaciar didn't have many options at the moment. Even so, he kept glaring defiantly at the one he once called his friend and brother.
"Yes, I did! I saw no other way to bring out the greater glory within the Far Frozen than to make sure the RIGHT person is in charge of it!..."Glaciar said, not looking regretful at all.
Past Frostbite then saw Glaciar with a look of utmost betrayal in his eyes. He wanted to tear him apart for backstabbing him like that, but all he could see that his old friend had lost all his senses and betrayed him. The enraged chief growled, and he started yelling again.
"HOW COULD YOU! WE WERE LIKE BROTHERS!..."Frostbite yelled, while his so-called old friend tried to avoid his attacks.
"Before I tear you apart? Why? Why Glaciar?! You were once my right hand all these years! TELL ME! I need to understand why you turned into a despicable traitor!..."Past Frostbite demanded, while Glaciar snarled at him.
"You were in my way!..."Glaciar denied, forming ice claws and ready to rip him apart and leave his former friend for the scavengers.
"All my life I was in your shadow! You were a prodigy among our peers! You were chosen to become chief! You had the attention of all the females! I was always your lesser that you looked down on...but no more! The far frozen will have a new chief today! Even if I have to strike you down and take that title by force...brother..."He said in a challenging way, no longer seeing reason.
"Challenge accepted!..."Past Frostbite said in anger as his eyes glowed blue and sent bright blue freezing rays at one another.
The ghost yeti's both fought one another like never before and it wasn't the friendly sparring they used to do back when they were training either. Both snow ghosts fought each other for the title of chief of their tribe.
However, the strength and power were vastly different between the two, even after all these years. Frostbite may have been down one arm, but he still had enough strength to contend with his from second in command as the chief swung a downward strike. Glaciar dodged it and threw razor sharp discs of ice at Frostbite. Frostbite powered through the discs, slamming his hand against the ground and unleashing a massive iceberg that encased Glaciar.
However, Glaciar saw his opponent's incoming attack and prepared a few icicle grenades to explode within the iceberg to free him from his encasement in ice. Even so, Frostbite was clearly the far better warrior and easily managed to evade them and continue his charge.
The Far Frozen Chief used his ice powers to create a wall of ice behind Glaciar and tackled him against it, even hard enough to break through the ice wall. Without Glaciar's weapons and devices to aid him, the difference of power and strength between them was even more obvious than before. Past Frostbite managed to easily knock down Glaciar, pinning him to the floor and held a sword of ice to his throat, as he glared right into Glaciar's eyes.
Frostbite knew that he could have destroyed him then and there, but he recalled their childhood and the day Glaciar saved his life when they were cubs. The chief of the far frozen lowered his sword and slowly stood up as he stared at his fallen opponent.
"I'm sparing you Glaciar! I'm sparing you in the name of our former friendship and this will make my debt to you repaid! As of this day I hereby banish you from the Far Frozen but I warn you...if you ever dare to set foot on Far frozen territory ever again...you will be sent to oblivion! I trust that I need not repeat myself!..."Past Frostbite warned, turning the blade, he'd defeated his former brother in arms.
Glaciar glared at him defiantly but hissed since he was in too much pain and knew he could never defeat him in a fair fight. Flashes of their shared childhood appeared in his mind; Glaciar shook those memories away as he stared back at Frostbite defiantly.
"You won't be around forever, Frostbite. One day, I shall lead this tribe, and I will no longer be in your shadow..."Glaciar said, as he limped away from his home, slowly fading away in the distance of the winder landscape.
Past Frostbite walked away but looked back his former second in command. He soon wipes away a single tear that fell from his face as he walked away.
"Goodbye...my brother..."He said in a regretful tone, before he went to the infirmary to go get a replacement for his arm.
Star was horrified by what she just witnessed. She never expected anything like this.
"Oh my gosh..."She said, not sure how to respond to all of this.
Present Frostbite looked unhappy, before he held up the Ecto-memory crystal as everything around the both of them immediately faded back to reality.
A moment later
"That was over 300 years ago, and I haven't seen Glaciar since that day..."Frostbite said, as the memory ended, and he and Star found themselves in the hut again.
"To this day I wondered if I had made the right choice or not. And not just that day. Sometimes I wonder things might have been different if I had done something...maybe I shouldn't have made him my second in command so soon...or I shouldn't have given him so much leeway out of some misguided loyalty I felt to him just because he saved me when we were young. Perhaps by my own naivety and blindness to see that my brother was gone and Glaciar the betrayer was in his place..."Frostbite solemnly said, while Star was still having trouble processing what she had just witnessed.
"I can't believe this. After all you guys been through, he still tried to stab you in the back like that and tried to take over the Far Frozen?..." Star said, shocked.
"Indeed. I tried to be merciful. Because...I just couldn't bring myself to strike down the final blow to my old friend. Though looking back, I was just being indecisive and soft. I couldn't separate my friend from the monster he became in my mind..."Frostbite said, before sighing.
"Even so, I thought that all these years of banishment, Glaciar would realize what he did wrong and repent and live a more honorable life...but it seems he hasn't changed at all and is still causing trouble..."Frostbite said sadly, deeply wishing that his former friend would come back to his senses.
"No, he hasn't. Heck, I think he just got worse. Especially with how he's been coaching Danny..." Star said, before she recalled something and gasped.
"Oh my gosh, Danny!..."Star said in a panic, as she recalled the reason why she was looking for Frostbite in the first place.
"What happened with the Great One?..."Frostbite said in an urgent voice.
"Oh my gosh. Okay, this is what happened. Danny and I met Glaciar during a ski trip, he told us he was on a mission by you to get some chalice thingy near Mount Amity..." Star began.
"THE CHALICE OF COLD?!..."Frostbite exclaimed, and the girl nodded.
"Yes, that. He told Danny he was under your orders...he used some device that showed a hologram/video of you asking for help..." Star said and Frostbite groaned.
"I see Glaciar is still playing tricks...but now he stoops low enough to use my own likeness for his deception. What nerve. Even to this day, he is still using me to improve his own plans. Pathetic, he hasn't changed at all..." Frostbite said in anger.
"He's also going after that chalice thingy to get it since he said that it was lost and you needed it back, though I am guessing that was a lie, right..." Star exclaimed, knowing now that was just a bunch of lies.
"The chalice isn't lost. My people placed it there in the human world under many spells to protect it..."Frostbite said, but Star seemed even more confused now.
"Why would you leave something that powerful in the human world?..." Star asked.
"Would you believe one of our people's greatest treasures, second only to the infi map, would be in a mere cave in a random place in the human world?..."Frostbite asked in a rhetorical manner.
Star thought about it and saw his point.
"Anyway, I am probably right in assuming that Glaciar found it not long after banishment but couldn't get it during the 300 years since he is not strong or skilled enough to get through all our security spells...and even so, he could never get through the ghost proof barrier. The only way through it is a spell that only the chief of the Far Frozen knows and I never told it to anyone, not even Glaciar...so we don't have anything to worry about...no ghost can survive the spells we placed to protect it and get through the barrier too..."Frostbite said, not worried since he was sure that there was no creature that could possibly pass through the mystical security system they placed eons ago.
"But what about a ghost who is strong enough to survive those spells...and can become human to get through the barrier?..." Star asked, basically reminding him that Danny is half ghost as she now realized the REAL reason why Glaciar wanted his help.
Frostbite was silent for a moment, before he panicked.
"Oh, Chief Cold! Why did I never think of that?! We need to get to the Great One and warn him of Glaciar's tricks! If the chalice winds up in his paws, then it would spell disaster!..."Frostbite said, realizing this is more serious than he thought.
"He was teaching Danny to get his hands on it by training him to master the Path of the Far Frozen warrior. He says it was the only way to get to the chalice..." Star explained, now realizing what Glaciar's real intentions were.
"If what you've told me is true, then both Great One and Far Frozen may be in grave danger. It could spell doom if Glaciar has it. There is no telling how powerful he can become..."Frostbite said, knowing that they had no time to waste.
Star tried to call Danny on her phone but received no signal.
"Uh...I forgot...we can't call the human world from the Ghost Zone..." Star said, forgetting the one downside to visiting Far Frozen...beside the freezing temperature.
The leader of the Far Frozen then sounded an alarm and soon his subordinates showed up, at their chief's command.
"Blizzard! Get me the Infi-map! It's an emergency! Also, prepare the warriors! We have a traitor to apprehend!..."Frostbite ordered as his second in command went to get it.
Soon, the map is here and in Frostbite's hands. The chief of the ghostly yeti's turned to Star and handed it over to her.
"Okay, Lady Star. You need to get to the great one. While Blizzard gathers some capable warriors and finds a natural portal to travel to the human world through and provide reinforcements to help the great one and arrest that fool who trying to steal the Far Frozen's treasured artifact and impersonating me..."Frostbite said, as he let her hold the map.
"Okay, Infi-map. Take us to Danny at Mount Amity and hurry..." Star said, worried that her boyfriend was in more danger than she thought.
The Infi-map glowed, and Star and Frostbite held onto it and soon zoomed out of the Far Frozen and the ghost zone, with Frostbite's warriors following after them.
While Star screams out of shock from speeding through the some portals in the Ghost Zone towards the Human World, while Frostbite mentally prepared himself for the battle ahead.
As well as to see someone whom he never thought he'd see ever again.
Present Time
Team Phantom heard the story up until now and needless to say, they were shocked by what they just learned.
"I can't believe this! Not only was this Glaciar guy a bad guy but he actually did that to Frostbite!..."Sam said, looking appalled.
"Even after Frostbite gave him mercy, he still wanted to get rid of him and lead the Far Frozen his way. He still chose to go all supervillain, even after all they been through together..."Tucker said, frowning in anger.
"I guess there's a lot more to Frostbite than just being a jolly ghost yeti in charge of an entire snow-covered realm..."Jazz said, feeling sympathy for him.
"Trust me, I was just as shocked as the rest of you are when I first about all this from Star the first time around. It's still a lot to take in at once..." Danny responded, feeling bad for his ghostly friend.
One of the teens felt a bit out of place, since she doesn't personally know Frostbite yet. It was Misty who felt pity for the ghost whom she has not met yet.
"I haven't met that Frostbite guy, but I feel sorry for him..." Misty said, knowing what it's like to be betrayed from someone you once trusted.
After all, nobody likes or wants to be betrayed by an old friend.
"I did too at the time. And I still do. Anyway, Frostbite and I were speeding out way through the Ghost Zone to warn Danny-Boo about Glaciar's evil plan..." Star said.
"All the while, I was still being fooled by that jerk and was being used as a pawn for his plan. And I was trying hard not to lose my mind the entire time.." Danny said as he continued with the story.
Back to the story
After hours of nonstop training, Glaciar finally deemed Danny ready, much to the ghost boy's relief. Mainly because the half ghost hero was reaching his breaking point of his tolerance, since Star wasn't here to offer any emotional support in this training.
"I wish Star was here. She could make it more bearable. Not to mention cheer me on and bring me hot cocoa if things got too tough like always..."He thought as his mentor sent him a slight smile.
"Alright, Great One. I'm believe that you're finally ready to take up the challenge of the Chalice of Cold..."Glaciar said, finally deeming fully prepared for the trial.
"Finally, thank goodness..." Danny thought, finally ready to get this quest over with.
"We must move now, if we hope to arrive before the full moon is directly above where the Chalice of Cold is hidden..."Glaciar said, smiling.
"Alright, then let's put my new ice-skating skills to test..." Danny replied, hoping that all this training will pay off soon.
The two ghosts soon arrived at the very mountain cave where the chalice was rumored to be, as the sun was set, and the full moon was now full and nearing perfect alignment to open the doors.
"Are you ready great one?..."Glaciar asked.
Danny nodded.
"I'm ready for you to go home already..."He thought bitterly but kept quiet for now.
The sooner this job for Frostbite was done the sooner he could have fun with Star. They soon arrived to the cave where the chalice was rumored to be hidden at.
"Okay...it's almost time. Be ready..."Glaciar said.
"Whatever you say, Coach..." Danny nonchalantly replied.
After this quick mission was done, the ghost boy was going to look for his blonde girlfriend and finally spend some quality time with her.
"First thing I'm going to do after this is treat Star to some hot cocoa with tiny marshmallows and a chocolate parfait. I think we both need treat after this..." Danny thought, already making plans to treat his girlfriend later.
"Hurry, Great One. You can busy yourself with your daydreaming after we obtain the Chalice of Cold. Now get to work, we don't have all night, you know..."Glaciar said in a bossy way, while his student sent him a glare but said nothing as he just wanted to get this over with.
Glaciar and Danny got ready to perform the routine. The ghost boy was simply excited to get this mission done with and finally get back to his winter vacation with his girlfriend.
"I can sense the Chalice of Cold nearby. The plan is going well so far. Just a few steps further of regaining what I lost...what we lost..."Glaciar thought, seeing his plan so close to success now.
All the while, his protégé remained unaware of his real intentions here.
"I wonder if Star's doing okay? I should really think of something to make up for all this time we could've been relaxing with each other, instead of learning how to ice stake just right to get a chalice..." Danny thought, as his mind was somewhere else at the moment.
Unaware that he was still a pawn in Glaciar's little plan.
