Chapter 16: Goodbye, My Friend

Anna and Kristoff are worried about the storm. It shouldn't be happening in this time of the year, so they only draw one conclusion.

Elsa.

But why would she unleash a storm on Arendelle? Was it on purpose? Anna started to fear another elemental was in play and Elsa was trying her best to fight them. Thoughts swirled through both Anna and Kristoff's head.

"Kristoff I can't take this anymore, we have to find Elsa!" Anna pleaded.

They prepare to go find her but Elsa bursts through the door before. She is crying and leaving ice everywhere she steps. She runs straight to her room and locks the door, then covers it with ice. Anna and Kristoff chase her. They try and open the door but Kristoff can't get it to budge.

"Elsa! Elsa what happened? What's wrong?" Anna cried out to her sister.

It was only met with crying. Adgar walks up to Elsa's door and knocks on it.

"Elsa! What's the meaning of this?"

Idun follows her husband and puts her hand on his shoulder. He looks at her. They share a look then a nod.

"We'll be back in a day. Behave," Idun softly announces.

The two leave. The house starts to get colder and colder. Ice begins forming everywhere. Gerda and Kai rush everyone out of the house for their safety, as the ice may impale someone.

"Kristoff, please take Anna until this is over. We'll take Olaf to our house," Kai asks.

Kristoff nods. Everyone gets in their cars and drives away.

"We shouldn't have left her Kristoff. She needs us," Anna says.

"We couldn't do anything there. Plus we could freeze to death," he pauses for a moment. "Man, where is (Y/N!"

Anna pulls out her phone and tries to call you. It goes to voicemail each time.

"He's not picking up. You think he had something to do with this?"

"Elsa said she was meeting him at the field. I would say he's our best chance at finding out. But first we need to get to my place and hope Elsa calms down enough to get rid of the storm."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Kristoff's family was more then happy to let Anna to stay. Anna started to realize why Kristoff didn't bring her around. Kristoff's family kept asking her questions and unintentionally insulting Kristoff. His head remained in his hands the entire time. The house was quiet the whole night afterwards. Pabbie kept to his room and requested not to be disturbed. The storm stopped in the middle of the night. It was too late to go on a wild goose chase for you, so they hoped to see you at school.

All the ice and snow melted away, thankfully. The news was stirring about the "mysterious snow storm" that took over. Anna and Kristoff didn't see you or Elsa at school. This concerned them even more. Two of their best friends were either gone or just held up somewhere.

They returned to Kristoff's house only to be greeted by Pabbie.

"Please, follow me," he says, waving them to follow him.

They all proceed to Pabbie's room.

"You must find your friend. Without him you will lose tonight."

"What are you taking about Pabbie?" Kristoff asks.

Pabbie sighs. "Your friend has a troubling life and it has caught up to him. Not completely, but it's making its way. I know where he is. Where you have to go. It's the only way to save Elsa."

Anna jumps in at this point.

"Why? What's wrong with Elsa?"

"It's not what's wrong with her that is concerning. It's what will happen to her that is. Get your friend then go to your school. Do not go to the school first or all is lost."

Pabbie places his hands on Kristoff's head and gives him the knowledge he needs. Kristoff nods, grabs Anna, than heads to his car.

"Kristoff, where are we going?"

"To (Y/N)'s old house!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Elsa can't remain in her room any longer. She is aware that everyone has left, so she has nobody to avoid. For some reason she needs to see something one last time. Something to try and make sense of everything. She gathers her things and starts walking down the road.

She keeps asking herself why. She keeps blaming herself for the break up. You have no rhyme or reason for it either. She is crushed and hoping to reclaim one moment of love. She can only think of one place to visit. One thing she created.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Kristoff speeds his way out of town. The drive takes little time given Kristoff's speed. They find themselves on the edge of a small town. Anna and Kristoff never even knew it was here. From what they have seen, however, the town is dark and horrible. The people seem broken and lost, just making their way through life with no spark or drive.

"What is wrong with these people? They are so... lifeless," Anna says.

Kristoff stays silent and continues towards his destination. They pull up to a house with no neighbors. The area around the house shows that there used to be houses, but must have been torn down or something.

"This is the place," Kristoff states.

They both get out of the car and look at the house. It is a nice house, but messy. The garden is a mess and the walls of the house look rusted and old.

Kristoff and Anna feel a small shake. Anna leans on Kristoff for support. They look around and hope for the best. They enter the house. Every step they take makes the floor respond. They see chalk outlines of bodies. Seems whatever happened here didn't get resolved. They hear a voice coming from the basement.

"Come on, that was nothing. Just a little blood isn't bad. It builds character. Ha!"

Another shake.

"Shut up Shadow. Pain is all I can feel anymore. I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all."

 They proceed to the basement and find you. The wall you are facing has several holes in it. You are shaking your head.

"Die regretting the time you've lost," you smash your head against the wall again. "Too many people to ache over!"

"(Y/N)?" Anna stutters.

You menacingly turn to face them. Your face is somewhat bloody and you have a smile.

"A- Anna. Kristoff?" You're breathing heavily. "What are you doing here? How'd you find me?"

You feel the heavy weight on your body lighten a bit. There is a feeling of comfort with your friends there.

Kristoff ignores what you said.

"Dude... What happened to you?"

You stare at yourself, then back at them.

"I fucked up Kristoff. There wasn't anything else for me."

"What did you do to Elsa?" Anna asks.

Some tears fell from you.

"I killed her. I might as well have. Just like last time... Dan was right."

You clench your teeth and punch the wall again. Kristoff puts himself between the wall and you. You questionably stare at him. When his eyes connect with yours a chill goes down his spine. You look like you would rip his head off.

"You aren't the same."

This hits you. You grab Kristoff and put him against the wall.

"And how are you supposed to know my normal! Huh? What is my normal? What am I? Who the fuck knows! I just know that I hurt everyone aro–"

Kristoff punches you in the face, it forces you onto the ground.

"We know you! You're our friend and the person that we all love, especially Elsa! So what happened?"  He shouts.

"What happened?" You chuckle. "That's all anyone asks me anymore. What's wrong (Y/N)? What happened? I'm sick of it! So shut the fuck up and leave or I swear I will make you!"

Anna and Kristoff are completely baffled at your reaction. You aren't (Y/N) anymore. Not the one they knew. Your eyes are different. Your stance is different. They don't know what to do except stand there and stare.

This anges you. You grab Kristoff and slam him against the wall. He grunts on impact. You ready your punch but a small hand holds it back. You turn to see Anna with her own punch. She connects perfectly with your cheek, which causes you to hit your head off the wall. Kristoff backs off in front of Anna.

"I don't know what has gotten into you, but you can't blame us for it!" Anna screams, "All we've done is try and be there for you but you pushed us away with excuses! Elsa is crushed right now and what are you doing? Sitting here in your own filth trying to feel pain! What about her pain? What about her feelings? You said you loved her, that she meant so much to you and now... Now you're turning your back on everything you ever said! Everything that you made us believe!"

You wipe your mouth and stand up, absorbing what Anna is saying,

"She loves you! She loves you more than anything on this entire planet! You meant everything to her! So I don't want an excuse! I don't want you to slither out of this! You are telling me what you did to my sister!"

Both you and Kristoff are slightly scared of Anna right now.  She has never been this mad before. Her rant gets to you. It aids Shadow's point he was trying to make for the past day. You calm down a bit and realize what an idiot you were.

"Hans... He knows about my past. About what I did..."

Kristoff and Anna share a look.

"What Is your past, (Y/N)? I think we deserve to know," Anna demands.

You look at them both then nod. Anna discretely pulls out her phone and hits record.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Elsa has arrived at the school. She is in front of the wall that she built for the two of you. She stares at you both embracing. It being captivated by her ice. She smirks at the memories.

"Elsa..." A voice says.

Elsa readies herself and looks over at the source. It's Hans.

"What do you want Hans?" Elsa hisses.

"Nothing. Nothing at all," he says, making his way towards Elsa. "Are you okay?"

Elsa tenses up but then relaxes. She feels weak and isn't thinking straight.

"He left me... He doesn't love me," she moans.

Hans knows exactly who she is talking about. "Well that's terrible. How could someone not love you? Especially one who has spent so much time with you?"

He is right behind Elsa. He puts his hands on her shoulders. For some reason, they remind her of how you used to do it. She accepts it. Hans smiles.

"I don't know. He never told me. I thought I had found love but..." She turns to face Hans, his hands still on her shoulders. "Maybe I'm not meant for love."

"Of course you are Elsa. You're a smart, young, beautiful woman. You offer so much."

Elsa looks into Hans' eyes. Normally she would shoo him off but she can't find the words to.

"Am I?" She asks.

"Of course."

They both start leaning in to each other. Their lips are about to connect. That beautiful frost aroma is felt on Hans' lips. He has been waiting for this for a long time.

Their lips are just about to touch when a voice is heard.

"Alley-oop!"

Hans received a foot to the head. He is sent onto the ground a few meters away.

You land in front of Elsa.

"You aren't winning this Hans! I'm not submitting to you!"

Elsa is in shock. She can't believe what she was about to do. She can't believe you are here. She notices that her necklace is still on you. But you weren't wearing it when she last saw you.

Anna and Kristoff make it to the field as well. They rush to Elsa's side. Elsa walks up to you and slaps you hard.

"Ow, what'd I do?"

"What'd you do? What did you do?" She angrily repeats.

You back up a little from Elsa. She is keeping on you, however.

"You kept things from me! You lied to me and fooled me into loving you! You never cared about me, did you? Obviously not!"

"So, looks like our deal is nullified," Hans says, wiping blood from his mouth. "Very well. I'll tell them.

You face Hans and assume a fighting stance. Elsa turns to Hans as well.

"Elsa, how well do you know (Y/N)? I assure you it isn't much."

"I believe you on that," she says, shooting you a glance.

"Elsa, don't listen to him!" Anna begs. "Please come with us!"

Elsa turns to Anna. Her sister's face is sincere. Elsa thinks about it for a second then nods at Anna. Elsa is about to run towards Anna but stopped herself.

"Your boyfriend is a murderer, you know. How do you think he became homeless?" Hans says.

Elsa turns to you. Her eyes show she is hurt.

"He has hid so much from you, yet you shared so much with him. Ask him, he'll tell you,"

Elsa walks closer to you. "Is it true?"

You stare at her for a moment then turn your head away.

"I haven't told you near enough."

"You were right (Y/N)..." Elsa starts, you face her. "You obviously don't trust me. If you don't trust me, you don't love me. Never speak to me again... You monster."

Elsa runs away. You try to grab her but she is out of your reach. You stare at the ground for a moment then back at Hans.

"I didn't even tell her everything yet," he smirks.

Your fists tighten from the look of his smug face. He won't be a pretty boy when you're done with him.

Elsa runs past Anna and Kristoff. The two follow her but they are blocked off by a small cave of earth. They turn around to where you and Hans are. Elsa can't stand any of this and closes herself off from the outside. Elsa, Anna and Kristoff are stuck.

"Elsa listen, he loves you!"

"No he doesn't Anna! He doesn't trust me! He doesn't love me! He said so himself!"

"He loves you Elsa. You're the fool if you believe otherwise." Kristoff interjects.

Elsa stares at Kristoff for a moment. Anna pulls out her phone.

"He told us the truth. Listen to this, you'll understand."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Earlier

"I've meant to tell all of you. I swear I did. After that fight. After you were all hurt. I... I lied about how I beat them. I lied about my past. I lied about so much and I want to apologize. I wish I could apologize to Elsa right now... But that I can't do."

You start pacing around the room. Kristoff and Anna stand at attention. They are eager to hear what you hold so close. What you think they'll hate you for. It can't be worse than what you have done today.

"I had a nice life before. I had parents. I had friends. I had a girlfriend. I always wanted a brother but my parents never indulged me on that. I had a close group of six friends. We did everything together. Eventually I started to fall for Kat, the only girl in our group. Her brother, Dan, always wanted us to be together. We were always laughing..."

"Like how you and Elsa were?" Anna asks.

You remain silent for a moment.

"No. Elsa and I were better."

You shake your head.

"One day my buddies wanted to pull some stunt in the science lab. I didn't agree but I decided to keep watch. Dan was with me. He kept bugging me whether I loved Kat or not. We'd been dating for quite some time and she had already admitted it to Dan. He used the exact same words you did Anna. Do you love my sister?"

Anna remembers when she asked you during class. It was when she admitted to loving Kristoff. All these things seem to be falling together. You take a seat against the wall, preparing yourself.

"I admitted it to him. I said I loved Kat. I wanted to tell her but she was finishing a test, so she wasn't there. Anyway, what my buds were doing went horribly wrong. They knocked some chemicals into each other. It blew up the entire room. We all got away before it hit us but the school knew that we caused the explosion.

"They took all five of us in. Kat joined us not too long after, though she wasn't in trouble. I was questioned first. Now, this is the part that I have no confirmation on and what makes the aftermath so horrible for me. My friends were discussing what they were going to do. One of the teachers heard them say it was all me. The teacher barged into the room and told the principle what she heard. I don't even know who it was or if they even did say it. But the principle took her word over mine. My friends heard what happened and they were so scared.

"My parents were notified and they were not happy. They yelled like no tomorrow. They yelled all the way home. Things were getting tense around me. I was mad at my friends for blaming me and mad at my parents for not hearing me out. My friends gathered together and followed my parents home.

"I was so mad at everything at that point. There was a little voice telling me to kill. Telling me to take everyone out. My anger took control of me." Tears begin dripping down your face. "I killed my parents with my bare hands. I ripped their throats out and gouged out their eyes. My friends came and saw what happened. I had no control... I killed all my friends as well. I killed Kat. I remember holding her in the air by the throat when she was bleeding out. By the time I realized what had happened, it was too late. I held her in my arms until she couldn't feel anymore... I could never forgive myself for it."

Kristoff and Anna are trying to remain calm, but this is quite the confession. They never expected this is the reason why you came here.

"But it wasn't you, was it? You weren't the one who killed them."

You look up at Kristoff.

"No. No it wasn't."

"What do you mean?" Anna asks.

You huff. "Ever since I can remember I have never been alone. In my head there were... voices. People. Other people there to talk and judge me. They've become more active as I grew older. They were able to take control of my body and act how they wish. One is a violent beast bent on carnage. That's the one who killed my parents. That's the one who you saw that day, Kristoff.

"He yearns for the death of everything around him... The taste..." You stay silent for a moment. "He is everything I am not. Everything I hate. But he is stronger than me and the other one. He is true Carnage."

Anna sits beside you. "(Y/N), I had no idea. I'm so sorry."

You hug Anna.

"The other one... Is Shadow."

You fall asleep.

"And that is me," Shadow says.

He stands up and looks at Kristoff. He extends his hand. Kristoff shakes it. To Kristoff's surprise it is different from yours. The way Shadow shook. The form. It wasn't yours.

"I have watched everything unfold for years now. (Y/N) is indeed telling the truth. Believe me or not, I don't care. But he cares. You all matter to him more than you think. It killed him to break up with Elsa. He didn't want her to know."

He turns to face both of them.

"I believe Carnage and I are a result of some project. A project that had relations to what made the elementals. That's why we've been hunted with Elsa. I once thought it was simply nature. That we were always here, born into the body. But now I'm not so sure. (Y/N) is scared right now. He held Elsa in the highest regard but was afraid to tell her. But that was my piece. I do not belong with all of you. I am not the one you care for. But I will ask one thing. Don't hate him. Isolation, hatred and sadness is what fuels Carnage. It will kill us if you let it."

"Why did you tell us this?" Anna asks.

Shadow pauses for a moment.

"Because I won't be around forever. I won't always be able to motivate (Y/N) to find the truth. But all of you can. You care about him and his endeavors. You must understand that he needs to know about his past. It will eat away at his mind until death if he doesn't figure it out. You're his friends. He'll need you."

Shadow returns to the wall and lays down.

"Don't take my niceness the wrong way. I just can't have (Y/N) give into Carnage."

You wake up.

"I don't want to know what he said. Just listen. I never wanted to break up with Elsa. It was either break up with her, or have the town hate me and kill me. It probably wasn't the best idea..."

You take a breath and wipe away the tears.

"I did something horrible to Elsa and I know it. She felt like a monster because of her powers. She didn't want to hurt anyone and sacrificed so much to keep it a secret. Yet she revealed it to me. I couldn't do the same. I know how she felt. That feeling of being a monster. But I was scared. I can't control myself at times. I murdered my family and friends! I didn't deserve anything!"

You calm down a bit.

"Yet here I am. Here with the perfect girl and I fucked up. I didn't want her to hate me. I didn't want all of you to hate me. Elsa meant so much to me and I didn't want her to see me as a monster... She felt the same way but she still told me...

"But I couldn't tell you. When everything was over at my town, nobody would talk to me. My school wouldn't allow me back in. The people walking the streets would get as much distance as possible. I had police following me around. I felt like a convict. I was blamed for a crime I didn't commit. I didn't want Elsa to see me like that. For the past to repeat itself. Her powers... her powers have the potential for amazing things. I've seen what she can do with them."

You pull out your necklace from under your shirt.

"She can work wonders with the powers she hated. But mine... my secret can only cause destruction. Only cause death. There is no beauty in it. No good side. It's all carnage. That's what I kept telling myself to justify not telling her when she told me... But that doesn't matter anymore. I've lost her..."

Kristoff extends his hand to help you up. You look at him and he is smiling. You smile back. You grab his hand. He pulls you up.

"Only you can fix this (Y/N). Explain it to her, she will listen. She loves you." Kristoff says.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Elsa is tearing at what she is hearing.

"And I love Elsa. More than anything. I'm going to tell her this time. I swear it! I don't want any secrets between us anymore," your voice states.

Elsa holds her mouth and continues to cry. All this news. All these things you never told anyone. She understands that what you have gone through is much worse than her powers.

"Oh my god... What I just said about him..."

She turns to face the wall she created. She melts it but more ice appears. Elsa is confused. It's clear on her side so the three can watch what is about to transpire. They see Hans' hand extended to where they are.

"Does Hans have powers?" Kristoff exclaims.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

You see that he covered a small cave with ice. You are shocked but you finally realize where the little cave your friends ran into came from.

"Hans... What did you do?"

"I've become powerful! More powerful than you could ever be!"

He raises his hands. The elements start going crazy around him. You cover your face but leave enough so you can see. Hans stops and chuckles.

"This could have been easy (Y/N). You chose this path.  You ran into hell to help your friend, but can you get everyone out of there?"

"I guess we'll find out!" You yell. You notice his reference to his lesson weeks ago. You weren't losing this time!

You charge at Hans. He smirks and summons a fire wall in front of you. You stop yourself and look on either side. There is no way past. You feel the earth trembling so you look down. A fist shoots out from the ground and connects with your jaw. You flip onto your back, losing your breath.

You look up and see Hans' feet. He uses vines to pick you up and restrain you by your wrists. You spit in his face.

"Mature," he says, wiping off the spit.

You try to break free but you can't. The vines move with you but keep the general area. You can't create tension.

"Struggling is useless. But I do admire it."

He sends his hand upwards. The vines toss you into the air. You try to regain control but Hans hits you with a fire blast. You are pushed towards the trees. You grab the closest branch and regain your bearings.

Hans throws some water at you. You jump off the branch and land close to Hans. You throw a punch. He dodges it, however he is in a weakened position. You knee his face then deliver a 5 shot combo.

He shakes his head to regain composure. You grab his head and throw it to the ground before he can recover. You drag him along to the trees. You place him in front of you. Before he can react you uppercut him into the air. You quickly climb the tree and catch him at one of the branches. You throw him up once more and jump to him. You force his head to aim towards the ground and keep your bodies close together as you grab his legs and contain his head with your own legs, initiating a type of pile driver.

You both plummet to the ground. His head indents the planet. You wait for a second before backing off. His body succumbs to gravity and limps on the ground. You stare at his body while breathing heavily.

Hans lifts himself up. The hole where his head was is wider and further dug then it should be.

"You really have to remember I control the elements," he chuckles.

Hans fires lighting into your body. He lifts you up just as Tempest did to Elsa. Hans tilts his head then fires water at you. It amplifies the electricity. You scream in pain.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Anna, Elsa and Kristoff watch helplessly.

"We have to help him!" Elsa yells. She shoots an ice spike at the wall. It bounces off. Elsa doesn't get discouraged. She continues to shoot them until a crack is made. Kristoff then starts rushing his shoulder into the cracks area. The two rotate over and over.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Hans stops his onslaught and lets you fall to the ground. You are jittering. The lightening is intense, even now.

"I have to end this quick. I won't last in a lengthy fight," you mumble.

Hans walks up to you and steps on your stomach. You clench your teeth, grab his leg and push him off of you.

He readies himself for a fight. You both throw punches but you clearly overpower him in fist fighting. You catch his fist and spin him around. His head meets your heel. He shakes his head and attacks again. He punches four times. One of those punches hits you but the rest you block. You clap his ears to disorient him then slide slightly under him and kick his jaw so he is in the air. You wait a few seconds then do a roundhouse kick that connects with his ribs. He rolls on the ground but bounces up, ready to fight.

 He gets mad and uses the air to slam you into some trees. You recover quickly and notice a sharp branch. You grab it. You both rush at each other. He pushes himself into the sky with air then tries to hit you from above. You show the branch and are prepared to shove it into his face. Hans sees this but can't move.

Right before you hit him something hits you. You fly back but slow yourself down with the branch. You scan the area to see where the attack came from. You see two people in the distance. They have a regal posture and are floating in the air. You focus more and recognize their faces.

"No way..."

The two make their way beside Hans. He smiles at the two of them.

"I believe you are all acquainted," he says.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Anna, Elsa, and Kristoff don't believe their eyes.

"Mom... Dad..." Elsa slowly states. "This can't be happening."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

You get yourself on your feet but are brought back down. Your heart begins to surge with pain. You grasp it and hope for it to stop. You can't beat them with your frozen heart. To make matters worse your arm starts going off.

When this happens you begin to think back. Carnage once said that Elsa will lead him to someone. Last time you saw these two, Carnage went crazy. Is it possible that Adgar and Idun are who he wanted to kill? But why? You don't recognize... But Pabbie once said your memories were blocked by both of them. Does that mean... No, it couldn't.

"You... you both are responsible for all this. You are the reason I am like this! The reason why those people had powers!" You accuse.

Adgar shrugs. "Possibly. But it doesn't matter now. Everything is going perfectly."

"What do you mean?"

Adgar gives you a smile.

"We have Elsa's blood. The serum was completed."

You are confused. "You needed Elsa's blood... That's why you sent all these people after her! You're the one who promised Gaia answers! Why did you need Elsa?"

"Because she is pure," Idun says. "She was born with the powers while all the other children had them forced onto them."

"What? How?"

Idun looks to the cave where her daughters are.

"Because I was the original Ice Queen."

You are trying to keep this going. You need time for your heart to recover.

"That doesn't make sense. Elsa is the Ice Queen."

"Yes, now. I was given the powers of ice and practiced how to use them. However when Elsa was born she had them naturally. It was part of her. She became the obvious candidate for the title."

"And with Elsa's progress as a child, you abducted other children..."  You concur.

"Very clever. You haven't changed," Adgar smiles. "With children, the genetics of the powers grew with the body. When we tried adults, few could keep the control that the kids could."

Adgar, Idun and Hans make a triangle formation around you. They are ready to attack, but they may be humoring your attempt at recovery. Still, you'll take it. You grip your arm tighter. The three know exactly what it means. Hans smiles at this.

"But... What was I? Why does everyone remember me?"

"That doesn't matter right now. I would like to fight you now. See how much better you've gotten over the years," Adgar grins.

"Let me fight!" Carnage howls in your mind.

The pain is too much for you to handle. You submit to his desire for blood and fall asleep. You lose it. Carnage wins.

Carnage lifts himself up and laughs.

"I finally get to kill you both! I've wanted this for years!"

He rushes at Adgar. Carnage drags his hand across the ground and swipes right as he gets to Adgar. Smoke covers the area. The smoke keeps going as Carnage drags him through the school. He smashes Adgar through classrooms and finishes by charging him into a tree on the opposite end of the field.

The smoke covers a large portion of the field, but it eventually clears. Carnage is indented in a tree with Adgar holding him there.

"Still a hot head. You never think."

Carnage growls and slashes at Adgar's face. Adgar leans back to dodge it then punches Carnage. Adgar grabs Carnage by the throat. He uses wind to lift himself and Carnage into the air, then throws Carnage and shoots lightning at him. He keeps this up for a second then stops.

Hans rushes at Carnage. He hops into the air and punches Carnage to the ground. Hans bursts towards the dust but Carnage is way ahead of him. Carnage grabs Hans' face and throws him into the ground, then pins Hans and starts slashing his body. Hans lets out a few grunts of pain but is able to escape using vines to toss Carnage off.

Carnage regains his footing. He observes the three people around him. He howls at them and rushes towards Idun.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Kristoff is on his break and is watching the fight.

"I think we're going to lose," he predicts.

Anna smacks his arm. "Why would you say that?"

"Look at the fight. The darker side of (Y/N) is being beaten down. That's the strongest we know (Y/N) can get."

"No, he can do it," Anna whispers. "I know he can. He won't let Elsa down."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Carnage slashes at Idun. She uses air to slow down the attack so she can dodge. Carnage keeps attacking her, almost hitting his mark each time. Hans throws a punch fueled with fire. Carnage catches the punch and knees Hans in the stomach. He proceeds to beat Hans' face in then toss him aside.

Adgar creates a large boulder of stone, larger than the gym. He launches it at Carnage. Idun and Hans jump out of the way. Carnage laughs his insane laugh and opens his arms. The stone hits him. Carnage is keeping it back but Adgar is forcing it forward. Carnage jumps back a little to get some distance then starts clawing through the rock.

He bursts out of the other side and straight at Idun. Idun isn't ready for this. Carnage lands a clean punch, sending her flying away. Adgar catches her with wind and sets her lightly on the ground.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

You and Carnage are head to head, struggling for control. You have each other's hands, trying to gain the advantage.

"Carnage! We can't win like this! We're all going to die!" You yell.

You raise your knee to Carnage's chin which knocks him off balance. You jump, spin, and kick him in the face. He stumbles for a moment. You use the time to close line him into the ground. You take a few steps back as he flips onto his feet.

"I can win this Carnage. Just help me!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Carnage is fighting all three at once. He is doing really well considering they are all attacking at the same time. Elsa and Kristoff still haven't gotten the wall open yet. Anna sits at the back, wishing she could help.

She begins thinking on all the things you have told her.

"That's why you didn't want to admit you loved Elsa... Because when you did, you lost it. You didn't want to lose it again," Anna thinks.

Carnage is forced to the ground from the onslaught of attacks. He bounces up to dodge an ice spike that appears under him. He uses the momentum of his launch to kick Hans away. Carnage proceeds to grab Adgar and smash him upon his knee. Carnage tosses him at Idun as a distraction, then jumps up and forces Idun's face in the ground.

Carnage stands back for a moment and laughs. It is stopped when all three get up as if it was nothing.

"You know, I am impressed. I never thought you were this good," Idun praised.

"But now..." Adgar whispers.

The three rush Carnage at the same time. They deliver fast and powerful blows that Carnage can't keep up with. Hans slides under him and pushes him into the air. Idun and Adgar send him plummeting back down. The three hover over top of Carnage while he lays on the ground.

They each charge their own element then blast him with it. A continuous assault of lighting, fire and ice are decimating Carnage. Your friends can hear his laugh and scream in reaction to the pain. After two minutes of the onslaught they stop. The area is filled with smoke. Adgar, Idun, and Hans land a few meters away and wait.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"I can win Carnage!" You yell. "You know that you can't win this. If you help me then we can guarantee they die! Please, for once, help me!"

You continue to fight for a little bit. Carnage punches you in straight in the nose. You stumble back but use the momentum to spin and kick him away. He rolls across the ground then bounces up. His smile is ever present.

"Tell me... Where did you... get... this strength?"

You smile. "I don't know. Maybe it's my friends. Maybe it's pressure. I don't know."

Carnage continues to watch you. "What... makes you... think... that you can... kill them?"

He throws another punch at you, you block it and respond with your own. You're both fighting as you speak.

"Because I'm stronger than you. Not physically, but all in all. You fight with your anger. You rely on brute force. I fight with emotion. All of my emotions, not just anger. I'll kill them so Elsa is safe. I'll kill them because they threaten who I am. I'll kill them because they left me no other choice! They've hurt people I care about. People I respect. I can't let them get away with it. You're fighting for personal gain Carnage, that's why you are weaker than me."

You deflect his attack and charge up a haymaker to meet his face. Carnage flies back from the attack but stays on his feet. You are both breathing heavily, the fighting is intense. He chuckles then exits his fighting position.

"Listen to... me... now. Those beings... those people who did this... they deserve to... die. They tortured me... tortured you... for their own... game. I am the way... I am... because... it's all... I was told... I could be."

You listen to him. He's never been so calm. Never actually spoke a lot. The fact that he is telling you this... What does it mean?

"Pabbie... said that... we were strongest... as a whole. I want... to be the... strongest. But it seems... we were made... to act as one. I will... help you... on one... condition."

"Anything."

"You... must kill them... Show no... mercy... for they will... show none. Punish them...for what they did... to me... Shadow... and you."

You nod. "I will."

"No... You won't. You need to... show your own... anger. You need... to get... mad... to become... angry. Only then... will your strength... be shown..."

You stand still for a moment, thinking.

"I don't know how to make myself angry Carnage... You always did that for me."

Carnage smirks. He walks over to you and puts up his fist. You bump it. When you do he melts into your fist and spreads all over your body. You feel stronger, but also angrier. The anger passes but you can still feel it.

"I'm trusting... you... don't make me... regret it..."

Carnage's final words are spoken. You and he are the same. Limbo lights up. It transforms from the dark, grueling place to a white plane.

"My god, it is the afterlife," you chuckle. "Now let's do this. I'm winning for you, Carnage."

Shadow appears in front of you briefly.

"(Y/N), let me fight for a little bit. It'll give you some time to recover."

You are about to argue but realize that Shadow has a good plan. You nod your head and sit down, waiting.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Elsa screams when she sees you being beaten the way you are. She creates one giant ice spike and smashes the wall. The three rush out of the cave and see the opposing three. They pay no mind to them. They are only focused on Carnage.

You walk out from the crater. You are confident. Cool. Completely ready for the fight. Hans looks at you and laughs.

"You never know when to quit, do you?"

"You never did either Hans. Now I'm taking you all down," you declare.

Everyone realizes it isn't Carnage anymore. However you don't seem the same. You start walking towards your enemies. You don't show any sign of strain or weakness.

"You aren't Carnage. Yet you aren't (Y/N)." Adgar points out.

"You're right. You thought I was going to sit this out? No fucking way."

Shadow runs towards Hans. Hans smiles, ready to take on the final form of (Y/N). Shadow fakes a punch to the face. It successfully distracts Hans so Shadow can catch him with his legs. Shadow takes Hans down to the ground. Hans snarls at his weakness and explodes into fire. Shadow is sent flying back but lands nicely. He sees Idun's leg coming straight at his face. Shadow catches it and spins her around. In the moment of weakness Shadow lifts up his knee and punches both Idun's chest and hips so she lands on his knee. She coughs up some blood. Adgar rushes into play. Shadow, being ever perceptive, sees Adgar and decides to toss Idun at him. He catches her but also catches a solid punch to his face.

"Shadow, I'm ready! Let me end this!"

Shadow sighs. "I was just getting into it."

"Oh boo hoo, it's been like, a day in here."

"Time doesn't make sense there..." Shadow mumbles as he allows you to take control.

You open your eyes to see your opponents ready to fight.

"Well, looks like I finally get a turn. Who's getting their beat down first?" You ask, initiating a fighting stance.

The trio take you a little more seriously. You see their posture change.

"They're going to attack," you presume.

The three rush at you. You prepare yourself. You are able to smack Hans away and dodge Idun's lightning bolt but Adgar's attack hits you.

He beats you into the ground with fiery fists. You try to ignore it but the heat and pain is a lot to handle. You grab Adgar's face and slam it into your knee. You use your hips to bounce him off you then spring out of the whole he made.

Hans attempts to hit you but you see it in your peripheral vision. You get in good with a back hand. The three recover. You know that one-on-one you can win. But when the three of them are together it becomes too much. Especially since they have every power.

Anna, Elsa, and Kristoff are unsure what to do. Elsa wants to help you, but she can't find the will to attack her own parents. On the other hand, Anna and Kristoff know they are completely useless right now. They would be killed if they tried anything.

"I have things to do. Let's finish this," Adgar whispers to Idun and Hans. "We're not playing anymore. You were a fun distraction but our line of work doesn't allow for long delays."

You prepare yourself. Adgar raises some earth and stones to throw at you. They fire fast and are difficult to dodge. Idun starts shooting ice spikes at you from a different direction. You notice this and try to dodge those too. You know you can't keep this up for long. They are already starting to graze your skin.

At the worst time your heart starts acting out again. You can't keep focused. You jump out of the way of all the attacks. You see Hans rushing at you with a punch. You catch it and toss him over you. When he reaches your level you kick him away. Idun raises ice from the ground which you handily dodge.

You stop after another shot of pain occurs. Your hair turns white at an even faster rate. You're losing your strength. Adgar, Idun, and Hans all throw a punch at you from different directions. You catch all three with your hands and your knee. You duck down and sweep kick all of them. They fall to the ground.

You get some distance between yourself and your enemies. You drop to one knee, breathing hard. Elsa watches and suffers. She realizes your heart is still frozen. You may lose because of what she did to you. She can tell you're putting on a façade to keep the morale up.

They all get back to their feet and stare at you. They nod at each other and create a triangle formation around you. Adgar fires a condensed lightning bolt at you and raises you into the air. Elsa looks away for a moment. She felt that exact same pain.

Hans shoots fire while Idun creates dozens of ice spikes to launch at you. You can't do anything, they have you.

"Damn it! Even I can't do anything... Hold on, just... hold on!" Shadow states.

You are barely keeping it together. You scream in agony. It destroys Elsa. She musters up the courage to help. You're the one she loves. Those aren't the parents she remembers. They are the monsters, not you. Elsa conjures up a massive amount of ice. It is similar to the one she used on you. She splits it into three and fires them.

The three stop shooting, as the ice blast did a number on them. You fall to the ground and try to get back up. You are able to look up at Elsa.

"That's... my... girl..."

She stands adamantly and begins to conjure more ice.

"How dare you strike your father!" Adgar yells.

He creates a solid blade of fire and throws it at Elsa. You see this and use all your strength to protect Elsa.

The blade flies through the air. You push Elsa out of the way. It slices your cheek bone but causes little more than a scratch. Your heart continues to throb and you fall to your knees.

"Elsa... Get everyone... out of here," you say in between deep breaths.

Elsa shakes her head. "No, we're not leaving you! I'm fighting!"

"She's right (Y/N), we aren't leaving," Kristoff adds.

You shake your head and smile. True friends that stick with you until the end. You gotta love'em.

Elsa shoots what seems to be a hundred ice spikes at the trio. Some of them hit their mark.

Adgar is angry.

"Why must you all be so stubborn?"

Adgar creates a ball of air and launches it at all of you. You aren't moved too much but everyone else is forced to the ground.

You are barely able to lift yourself up. You stand and face your enemy with a smile. You know it's over.

"Sorry, Carnage... This frozen heart things a pain..."

Adgar creates a replica of the earlier fire blade and throws it at you.

"Just die!"

You watch it close in. You close your eyes and await the pain.

You hear it pierce a body. You feel blood splatter on what's left of your clothes. But you don't feel any pain. You open your eyes and see the lovely platinum hair you fell in love with. Your eyes lower and see some blood stained on it. You then see the blade where Elsa's heart is supposed to be.

Your eyes widen. Elsa falls back into you and you catch her. You lay her on the ground but continue to hold her.

"Elsa... Elsa, Elsa... What were you thinking? Elsa please... Please..."

"Shhh, (Y/N). It's okay," she mutters.

"No Elsa... Oh man this is not okay. This is faaar from okay."

Kristoff and Anna are in shock. Anna is crying but won't make a noise. She and Kristoff place themselves between you and the trio. They won't let them interrupt, even if it kills them.

Tears are forming in your eyes but you refuse to let them drop.

"You refuse to cry..." she points out.

You swallow hard. "There is no reason... no reason to cry. You're going to be alright."

Elsa smiles and places her hand on your cheek.

"I heard your... confession. The one about your past... I don't think you're a monster. Not after what I've seen. After what you've said... I understand."

You stay silent.

"I'm sorry for... saying what I said. I know you love me. I know it."

"Elsa, Elsa I do. I do love you Elsa which is why you aren't leaving! I can't let this happen again."

Elsa coughs up some blood, but keeps a smile.

"(Y/N), you have to let it go... You can't be afraid of the storm inside of you... Not anymore... Please... Keep Anna and Olaf safe... Make sure, Anna gets that chocolate you saved... for me."

"Elsa, that's yours... you'll get to share it."

"I love you, (Y/N). I have no regrets about this... I saved you this time... And that's all I ever wanted to do. You are the man I love, now and forever..."

She pulls you closer. Her mouth is at your ear.

"Kill my parents... Protect... Anna. Let... it... go."

Elsa's body goes limp. You won't believe it.

"Elsa, Elsa, Elsa, no! Please, Elsa! Elsa, you're going to be okay. Elsa answer me! Elsa!"

You hold her body close to you.

Kristoff shuts his eyes. Anna continues to cry. She wants to hold her sister and you, but she doesn't want to disturb you.

"Elsa no, I don't want to lose love again... Elsa..." you whisper. "Elsa please don't go."

You realize she is gone. It's just like how Kat died... right in your arms. Your grieving turns to anger.

"Please... Not again..."

This is an odd feeling for you. You never felt true anger before. But now... Now you feel it.

"(Y/N)... I'm sorry, truly. But she is right. It's time to let it go. Fight them with everything you've got!" Shadow encourages. "Kill them for Elsa!

The ground starts shaking around you. Dark clouds form around the area.

You get to show your anger. This isn't Carnage. This is you.

Pieces of the earth start rising into the air. Lighting is crashing down around you. Spurts of flame start appearing out of nowhere. The wind is going crazy. Snow starts lightly falling.

So many people have died because of these two. Tempest, Pyro, Gaia, Carnage and now Elsa.

Small bits of lighting start to appear around you. The elements are being completely disturbed.

"I won't... I WON'T STAND FOR THIS ANYMORE!" You howl.

You stand up and face your enemy. Your eyes become pure white but tears still fall. You let out a howl and the elements do so with you. Your body bulks up, relative to what it did with Carnage.

You give Adgar a glare. Even with no pupils he knows you're watching him. You begin to walk towards them. Kristoff and Anna surround Elsa's body.

"To kill your own daughter... You aren't parents," you shame.

Hans rushes at you. He delivers a lightning filled punch but you don't flinch at all. You stop walking and turn your eyes towards him. All he feels is pure terror.

"And you made me hurt her."

You grab his hand and pull it away from your face. He struggles to break free but your grip is too much for him. You smile before grabbing one of his fingers.

"Remember when you waved at me with these fingers. Remember how you touched Elsa's face with them?"

You push his finger back until it is pointing at his face. You hear a satisfying *crack* when you do so. You do this with every finger on his right hand. He cries out it pain. You enjoy this. You continue to torture him for revenge. You don't care about morality or being a good person anymore.

You let go of his hand for a quick second before grasping his throat. You are crushing it, so barely any oxygen can come in. He is gasping for air, but hardly any is coming in.

"Talk tough Hans. Come on, do it," you taunt.

He struggles to breathe, you can tell he's dying. That's not enough for you though.

You slam him on the ground and release his neck. He takes in large amounts of air to recover. You proceed to grab his mouth and pull him back into the air. This time he can breathe. You hold his mouth and chuckle. With a small thought, your hands start to burn with fire. Hans feels this and tries to break free. His skin starts to burn and so does his pride.

"Hans has the powers of fire, no? How is he affected by (Y/N)'s element?" Idun asks.

"I... don't know. He must be producing almost as much heat as the sun. Who knows if he could surpass it," Adgar responds.

Hans' face starts to bubble a little before you decide that you've had enough. You release him from your grasp and he begins falling to the ground. His face will forever be marked. Without even moving you make air send him flying away.

You create a wall of earth for him to hit. You lock his wrists with vines. He attempts to struggle but you create two ice spikes to puncture each palm.

"I'll deal with you later," you say. "I have a little more feelings I would like to express."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Hunter is watching from a safe distance. He is smiling uncontrollably.

"That's it (Y/N). That's how you do it. You are part of the family."

Hunter remains silent for a moment, thinking ahead.

"But you're still not strong enough... I think I'll have to reveal myself to you soon. You need to know who you are."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

You walk up to Adgar and Idun. Lighting is showing up around you every so often. The ground itself is shaking at your footsteps. Fire and ice are battling themselves to see which one may hover around you. The wind is rushing around you. It whisks away the tears on your cheek.

 They have a surprised look on their face.

"So...Which one is first?" You ask, cracking your knuckles.

They stand together. This is the fight they were waiting for. The two rush at you. You don't flinch. They zoom past you and into the air.

"He didn't even react," Adgar says.

"This is what they built him for," Idun concurs.

"This is why we should've had control of the project!" Adgar snarls

They both send large amounts of elemental attacks your way. You turn to face it and put your hand in the air. You stop all of the attacks. They are all under your control now. You clench your fist and all the attacks disappear.

"That's all you know. You can't fight me otherwise," you taunt.

Adgar and Idun merge their power in order to lift an enormous piece of earth and throw it at you.

You don't move at all. A few sparks fly across your face.

You lift your hands and spread the entire hunk of earth to small pieces. You keep them in the air, however. You move your hands and start to create something. You create and draw out sand from all around you. Even the pieces of earth Adgar and Idun threw at you give sand.

"Think outside the box," you recommend.

The sand forms into giant hands and start to chase both of them around. They aren't able to evade them for long and are both stuck together by the hands. You start crushing them with the sand hands. Both Adgar and Idun shoot out intense heat to turn the sand to glass.

They breathe heavily. They partly admire what you just did. They begin to rush at you. You run for a short period then jump and use air to fly. You start spinning and fly right in between them. You stop and direct one hand at each of them which you shoot multiple elements out of.

Adgar and Idun do their best to dodge all of it but your attacks are so many and so fast. They submit to the ground. You relax your hands to your sides and wait for them to reappear. After a moment they zoom up into the air, higher than you. Their clothes are tattered and they are evidently hurt.

"I'm finishing this," you say.

You zoom towards them. You charge up your fist. Fire resonates around it. Something is bubbling inside you. Something that feels natural. This next attack just flows into your mind.

"Dragon... FIRE!" You yell as you extend your punch. A grand dragon made of fire appears out of your hand and swallows the two whole. You close your eyes.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

You, Adgar, and Idun are standing inside the dragon. They don't feel the heat, but they know they're dead. They accept it.

"I never thought you would beat us. I am surprised," Adgar states.

You don't respond. You simply stare at them.

"We had a plan just in case you won. It seems that has to go into effect."

Adgar pulls out a computer chip and a cell phone from his pocket and hands them to you. You place them in your own pocket.

"You never had a work accident, did you? You were never in a coma," You state.

"No, we weren't," Idun chuckles.

"Then why do this? What was the purpose?"

They both smile. "Orders. We all have our bosses and our deadlines. You'll know of that one day."

"There are more of you? More people like you?"

They both smile, recognizing the irony that they are experiencing. You have no idea about that, however. They don't respond. This upsets you and leads you to another topic.

"Do you even care that you used your daughter?" You spitefully ask. "That she's dead?"

Gloom falls onto their faces.

"Yes, we do. But you are in the same boat as Elsa was. Being used, I mean."

"My parents didn't place me into your program!"

They both chuckle. "You weren't in our program, (Y/N)"

You stutter for a moment, unable to process what they just said.

"Please, take care of our daughters. We are so proud of them," Idun pleads.

You nod. They smile.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The dragon explodes into fire. You make it so that the excess fire creates a beautiful show of victory. It's the same one Elsa would do for you. You walk over to your friends. Kristoff and Anna have no words. You walk past them and kneel beside Elsa.

You hold her face then kiss her. While you kiss her you breathe ice into her body and pull out the blade that impaled her. You freeze the wound over. You part your lips from hers.

"Just breathe," you hope.

Elsa begins coughing. You hold her close. The power you achieved slips away. Your physique returns to its norm. Your eyes return and the elements subside to their usual role. You aren't paying attention to this. All you care about is Elsa.

You squeeze her in your arms. Once she realizes what has happened she hugs you back. You start kissing her.

"Never... do... that... to me... again," you say in between kisses.

"I'll have to think about it, you tend to throw yourself into dangerous situations," Elsa teases.

Anna and Kristoff rush over to you.

"Your hair! It's back to normal!" Anna points out.

The only thing you can think of is the power boost. Maybe having control over the ice unfroze your heart. Or maybe it was the power of fire. Who cares? Everyone is safe. Everyone is alive.

Something pops into your mind. Hans! You look over to where you held him. He's not there anymore. You don't know how he escaped but he did, which means you'll have to find him another time. Right now, your friends are what's important. Elsa is what's important.

You back off from Elsa to let Anna give her sister a big hug. You stand beside Kristoff.

"You aren't mad at me, are you?" You ask.

"Me? Nah, I couldn't be happier. We understand. All of us understand. We're your friends man!" He says as he puts his arm on your shoulder, "Plus, now we know the truth. You have nothing to hide anymore. No more secrets."

You smile. "Yeah... No more secrets."

You look around and notice that everything is a mess. The school is practically destroyed, the field is ruined and the small forest is burning.

"Dude... What are we going to do about this?" You ask.

Kristoff chuckles. "I have no idea."

Anna and Elsa stop talking and both give you a big hug. You feel a sort of sadness.

"I'm sorry I killed your parents. You had to lose them twice now."

They both smile. "(Y/N), those were not the parents we remember. Besides, you're more of a family to us than anyone."

You smile at them both. "A family... You're right! I have a family again!"

Anna moves into Kristoff's arms. He held her closely. She kisses him. You looked away so they could have their moment. Elsa stands behind you and watches you as you stare at the battlefield. You start chuckling weakly. You're completely out of energy. You fall on your back.

Elsa rushes over to see if you're okay. When she sees your face she adopts a smile from you. You are breathing heavily with a smile. She strokes your cheek.

"Your power has beauty in it too (Y/N). Never forget that," she whispers.

Elsa calls Kristoff over to carry you to the car. Elsa sits in the back with you. Kristoff lays you across all the seats. Your head rests on Elsa's lap.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Hunter walks across your battlefield. He is has a huge smile across his face. He takes in everything. He gets a feel for the entire area. The emotions that ran here, the blood that was spilt. He feels your fire, your will power. He accepts that it surpasses his own. In a way, you are stronger than he is.

Hunter stops in the middle of the field. He takes in a deep breath and exhales.

"Why am I the one who has to fix this? Well, I don't have to... But I don't think it would look good if it was left this way."

He walks over to the destroyed school. He prepares himself.

"Let's see if I can fix this all in an hour," he challenges.

Hunter sets a timer on his phone and begins.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

There was a silence on the way home. It wasn't a bad silence at all, in fact it was a silence of joy. Everyone was radiating happiness despite what just happened. Anna kept smiling and looking at Kristoff, he would respond in turn. Every once in a while Kristoff would look in his mirror to see you and Elsa. You lay comfortably on her lap as she stroked your face. You mumbled about food and warmth a few times. It made everyone chuckle.

Elsa didn't stop staring at your face. Even though it was bruised and bloody she couldn't help but see hope. Love. A hero who saved her from a fate that would have consumed her. Her face was completely different from the last time she saw you bloody and bruised. Her face was filled with the love she had for you, and the love you had for her. She knows that there is no man whom she could love more.

She also feels a stronger need to protect you now. Even when she sacrificed herself, you were still able to save her. You always one-uped her, and she didn't like being left behind. It was like a friendly competition to her, and she was determined to win. When Kristoff or Anna wasn't looking she would sneak a kiss onto your lips. She couldn't wait for you to be able to respond to them.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Gerda and Kai were cleaning the house when everyone arrived. Kristoff carried you to your room but was redirected by Elsa to her room. Anna stayed behind to explain everything that happened. Gerda and Kai were surprised, but not as surprised as Anna would have expected.

Kristoff joined Anna downstairs. They hugged each other tightly, remembering that they are still alive. After dismissing themselves they hurried to Elsa's room. They entered to find Elsa cuddling with you on the bed. She had dosed off. Anna and Kristoff smile at the sight. Kristoff notices that your necklace is still there, despite all the beatings you received. That one symbol of the connection between you and Elsa remains ever present.

He and Anna retreat to her room and have their own cuddling time. It's well deserved. Everyone deserves this peace and rest right now.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

You and Shadow stand face to face. He has a smirk across his face.

"You did it. You saved her."

"I guess... I had to watch her die to gain the power though. That kind of takes it away for me," you reply.

Shadow huffs. "It's a good thing I know you. Carnage may not have been so easy to convince if I hadn't set it up."

You look at him confused. "What do you mean?"

"When I was holding Carnage off at the dinner he explained everything to me. He explained who they were and why they needed to die. I told him that only you could beat them. That he wouldn't be able to win because of his motives. He disagreed. I made him a bet about it."

"What was the bet?" You inquire.

"That your emotions and motivations alone made you stronger than him. If this was true then he would have to submit and let you take over. I didn't anticipate him merging with you."

You think back. You never liked Carnage but in all honesty you never knew him. You never learned his motives or desires. He was just a murderer to you but in those last moments he just wanted vengeance for what had been done to him. That still doesn't excuse all the things he has done and what he put you through but... It seems relative to Gaia, Tempest and Pyro.

They simply wanted answers about their past and they were willing to kill you. They had a hard time in their life and just wanted answers, but their front just showed them as killers. It's the same as Carnage. Everyone has some sort of motive to their actions that others may not understand. But to the person committing the action, it makes sense.

"I owe him my life. I owe him a lot, even if he caused a lot of pain in my life... He's the reason I'm with Elsa."

"That is true. So are you ready to truly love again?" Shadow asks.

"I think so. I just hope there isn't anything else waiting for me."

"That's unlikely. I think we're just getting started with this whole thing," he responds.

You huff. "Just getting started? That was the warm up? Man... The payoff better be worth it.

 Shadow chuckles, "Well either way, we're in it together."

"And may that never change."

You bump forearms.
