Chapter 5 - Attack on Arendelle

A new calm night had settled on the city of Arendelle, and the waters of the fjord bay, which had become black as ink under the tablecloth of the night, pitched slowly with the gentle breeze. Only at the beginning of the evening, some people were still in the streets, taking a walk at night or going to the tavern to drink some drinks with friends after a day's work.

After successfully lulling her daughter with a lullaby and entrusting her to the care of Kai and other servants, Anna, unable to sleep, made her way to the stables. Having put on her long coat to protect herself from the fresh air outside, she had crossed the deserted castle yard to go to the stables where Kristoff, Olaf and Sven are. On entering, she saw the reindeer in his usual pen, while Olaf perched on a chair and tried to reach the flame of a candle he was watching with fascination.

_"No Olaf. You know very well what will happen if your hand touches the flame." Kristoff reminded him, sighing heavily, bringing fresh straw to Sven's paddock.

_ "I know, but fire fascinates me, it's stronger than me." the snowman replied, changing his mind to touch the candle, with a certain disappointment on his face. He regained his smile as Anna entered the stables. Kristoff gave a carrot that Sven hastily chewed, and turned to his wife, to whom he smiled warmly. Anna went to him and gave him a little kiss on the lips.

_ "How's Iduna?" Kristoff asked.

_"She is sleeping now, everything is fine. Kai and the other servants are watching over her." Anna told him. The young man felt that the princess forced herself to smile but that something was wrong.

_ "Anna .... tell me what's wrong?"

She sighed heavily and sat on the little stool ready for the paddock. Sven and Olaf also listened.

_"There are so many things ..." Anna sighed tiredly and rubbing a hand on her forehead "... Several great leaders in some countries are threatening to overthrow our kingdom if we do not help them fight Godzilla, and Elsa has been away for too long now and I do not know where she can be.... "

All these problems weighed heavily on the thin shoulders of the young princess and it was visible. Olaf and Sven showed concerned faces, sorry for her. Kristoff also felt concerned and went to sit beside her, to comfort her and put her arm over her shoulder.

_"Elsa is strong, you know that as well as I. I'm sure she's fine. Nothing can resist her." Kristoff says with some confidence. Anna would like to share the same.

_ "I would like to know who orchestrated this plot against my sister and Godzilla .... If I had them ...." said Anna, feeling helpless in the face of this situation more and more unmanageable.

_ "You think that ...." Kristoff began to say, thinking "...that Hans could be behind all this?"

Hans. That name still gave Anna some unpleasant shivers.

_ "I doubt it ..." she replied "... he lost all his privileges and his father signed a close of peace with Arendelle ..."

Even if she doubted, Anna did not want to put any hypothesis aside. Hans is a cunning being of the worst kind and you had to be wary of him, she knew better than anyone. When she thought about it ... the way she let herself be seduced, when she sang and danced with him under the moonlight, and her desire to marry him only a few minutes after meeting him ..... She felt so silly thinking about it .... She felt the hand of Olaf wood come tapping his shoulder, he too came to comfort her.

_"Don't worry, Anna," Olaf told her with a warm smile. "No matter how many people try to hurt you, you and Elsa can always count on us."

Sven and Kristoff nodded without hesitation. Anna smiled and thanked her friends for their unfailing support.

Meanwhile, on the docks of Arendelle, everything was calm, except two cats fighting on a barrel and meowing hard. While most of the sailors were in the taverns, some of them had been designated to guard the ships, spending the time as they could. On one of these ships, two young mosses were sitting on the deck, crates as chairs and a third crate between them serving as a table for playing cards. One of the mosses, with blond semi-long hair and blue eyes, blew out a card.

_ "Having to stay to keep the ship while all the others drink at the tavern...damn ..."

_"Tell me right away that my company displeases you." replied the other moss, with very short brown hair.

_ "Oh, shut up, Vaal." said the blond moss, picking it up from his deck of cards. Vaal laughed slightly and let him play his turn.

BOOM!

A violent shock suddenly shook the ship from below, to a point that the two mosses fell to the ground and straightened up, surprised. The silence had returned and the ship was no longer moving. They looked around, but there was nothing except the night and the black water of the bay.

_"What the fuck was that?" Vaal asked, looking intently around him. The other moss knew nothing of it, and advanced cautiously to the ship's rail and looked over it. Nothing, only water. But looking better ..... He thought to see .... Strange ... the water seemed darker under the ship, and a strange blue light seemed to emanate from underwater ....

_"What the...." BOOOOOM!! He did not have time to finish his sentence that the whole ship, and the two young mosses with it, were raised and thrown into the air by an immense and enormous form rising out of the black water and pouring gallons of water over its carapaceous surface. The ship crashed violently against the docks, causing heavy damage. In the streets, the people screamed in terror as the huge creature that had risen from the water emitted a loud roar that woke the rest of the city.

In the stables of the castle, all had also heard the deafening crash coming from the port and the terrible roar that followed. Anna and Kristoff leaped from their stools, both exchanging the same perplexed look. Olaf, terrified, leaped into the enclosure to hide behind Sven, also trembling with fear.

_"What is happening?!" Anna asked, worried. A guard, panicked, then burst into the stables in front of the couple and was out of breath.

_ "Prin .... Princess! Another giant monster is attacking the city!"

All felt their hearts leaping in their breasts. So the nightmare was coming back to life? Without losing a moment, Anna rushed outside the stables, while Kristoff, before following her, ordered Olaf and Sven to remain hidden here, which they accepted. Arriving in the middle of the castle courtyard, Anna and Kristoff stopped, eyes wide and speechless in the face of what they saw. At the docks, there was a giant and massive creature, measuring 187 feet tall. The monster had the appearance of a huge dark gray-shelled crab with yellow highlights, and shiny blue eyes. He was armed with two powerful and serrated claws, and stood on four large legs. On his huge carapace were two huge horns with slightly curved tips, making him almost look like an underwater devil. The giant crab roared, spitting torrents of water from its foul jaws, and strike with one of its giant claws on the docks, crushing several ships like toys. Rifle shots rang out as the guards on the ramparts started shooting with the canons on the monster. The first cannonballs struck the monster's shell without breaking it, but which had the effect of annoying even more the creature who roared, violently struck a nearby warehouse and blew it to pieces.

_ "My god .... But what's this thing?!!" Kristoff whispered in shock. Anna did not answer him right away, but she recognized that monster she had seen in a page of Ishiro's book.

_ "It's Onibaba ...." Anna said in a frightened voice "... the devil of the sea!"

_ "Princess Anna!" Kai's voice was heard suddenly. Turning around, the princess saw the loyal servant come running and carefully holding Iduna in his arms. The baby was crying loudly and Kai gave her to her mother, who took her immediately and thanked the servant. Kristoff also made sure that his daughter had nothing.

_ "You must leave here, now! But where is Queen Elsa?" Kai asked completely panicked. Around them, the other servants ran in all directions screaming in fear. Anna did not have time to answer the servant, because the water of the bay exploded again, a few meters behind Onibaba, who stopped his momentum of destruction and curious, turned around, emitting some hostile grunts. From the immense spray of water and scum rising several dozen meters high, appeared the elongated and immense shape of Zilla, roaring at full power towards the giant crab. Anna and Kristoff's faces lit up with an ounce of hope.

_ "Zilla!!" Anna shouted at her kaiju baby she had seen growing up. Zilla, however, did not hear her, too focused on facing his enemy. Onibaba turned to the giant lizard, also grumbling ferociously and snapping his giant claws, ready for battle. Seeing the titanic fight that was about to take place, Anna decided not to wait any longer and confiding her daughter to Kristoff, and gave the first order to the soldiers of Arendelle.

_"All the cannons, fire at will on the giant crab, and do not shoot at Zilla, understood?"

Clapping his jaws, eyes glittering with anger, Zilla roared again. Onibaba, facing him, stood ready to charge too. But suddenly, cannon balls exploded against the back of the giant crab, not hurting him but enough to distract him and get his attention. On the walls of the castle, as well as on the quays, the soldiers of the city were shooting at will with the guns, such was the order of the princess. Anna glanced at Zilla, hoping he understood the strategy.

Indeed, the young titan understood. Taking advantage of Onibaba being embarrassed by the repeated shoots of the human cannons, he rushed, all claws and fangs out, and threw himself on Onibaba with all his might. Surprised, Onibaba was hit hard by the weight of Zilla, and the two titans crashed on several moored ships, crushing them under their bodies and raising waves of water crashing on the remains of the docks. The earth shook throughout the city after the shock. The castle was also shaken, Kai and the other servants falling to the ground. Anna also lost her balance but got up very quickly. Kristoff had fallen on his back, but had managed to keep his daughter in his arms, protecting her. Olaf and Sven ventured out of the stables, and frightened, saw the face to face between the two giant monsters. Making sure that her husband and daughter were fine, Anna then turned to Zilla, praying that he would win the duel.

Zilla had clung to Onibaba's back, bites and claws on the crab shell to try to break it. Despite some minor injuries, Onibaba struggled furiously, destroying large numbers of wharves and ships under his feet, and trying to get rid of his opponent. Meanwhile, the terrorized residents fled screaming, trying to get away from the fight as much as possible. In the courtyard, Kristoff headed for Kai.

_ "We must evacuate the city, now!"

Anna was paralyzed, unable to look away from the fight taking place in the bay. The nightmare of Arendelle was taking shape again, and where would it lead to this time?

With a violent bite, Zilla managed to tear off a piece of shell from Onibaba's head, making him express a deep pain. But the crab violently closed one of his claws on Zilla's neck, making him roar in pain and blocking him. With his other claw, Onibaba grabbed Zilla's tail, lifted him from his back, and threw him violently. Zilla crashed on several houses near the main square, destroying them under his giant body and shaking the earth. Recovering after this shock and recovering on his feet, Zilla saw the devastation his impact had caused around him. Dozens of houses crushed to pieces, and especially several innocent civilians, dead, under the rubble, killed by weight of the young titan. He even saw a family, with a little girl, all dead, near his feet. Zilla groaned in anger at himself, but especially at Onibaba for what he had made him do. Zilla roared with rage, while Onibaba showed only an expression of morbid satisfaction in his blue eyes. Anna and Kristoff had seen with horror what had happened.

_ "We have to leave, now!" said the young man, with his daughter in his arms. Anna wanted to follow him, but hesitated though.

_ "And ... and Zilla?" she says.

_"Anna, think of us first, and Iduna!" Kristoff replied with great urgency. He was right. The life of their daughter was in great danger. And without human presence in the city that he might risk to kill by accident, Zilla could unleash his rage against Onibaba.

_ "Everyone is evacuating!" Anna gave the order.

By a quick glance, Zilla saw Anna, Kristoff, their daughter and their friends, evacuating the castle. He had to protect them, that was his duty. Onibaba had noticed them too and wanted to go towards them, but Zilla leapt at him and again, the two titans rolled into the bay, raising torrents of water around them. Zilla was the first to get up, animated by a new anger, and with a violent blow of tail, struck Onibaba and made him back against one of the cliffs bordering the bay. Onibaba was sounded by the blow, but barely had time to react as Zilla bit him deeply to one of his arms, piercing at his shell and flesh.

Onibaba groaned in pain, and replied with her other arm with a claw blow in Zilla's face, making letting go of the lizard and making him back a step. Taking advantage that Zilla was stunned by the blow, Onibaba tore a piece of the cliff with his claws and smashed it against the giant lizard. The rock hit Zilla violently on the head and back, causing him to roar in pain and fall on his knees in the water. While running, held by the hand by Kristoff, Anna saw, with a tight heart, the position in which Zilla was. "Hold on, Zilla! Fight! Stay alive!" She was thinking, as a telepathic message to the titan. But her anxiety grew when she saw, helplessly, Onibaba come forward and grab Zilla's throat with one of his claws and try to strangle him. Zilla was trying to fight, but failed, the sharp edges of the giant crab pincer making him suffer. Anna stopped, as did Kristoff.

_"He's going to kill him! We have to help Zilla!" Anna cried, seeing her kaiju in danger. Kristoff held her back.

_"We can not do anything!" he said, feeling helpless in the face of this situation. Zilla could not breathe anymore. He felt the end come little by little, and blamed himself for not being able to defend Arendelle as he should have.

Suddenly, a large block of ice, launched at full speed, violently struck Onibaba in the face, making him back and letting go on Zilla's throat, who was able to catch his breath and his strength. From their distant position, Anna and the others had been able to see this, and all of them guessed, with hope, who it could have come from. Onibaba regained his senses, to find, like all the others, that the earth began to tremble, under slow, steady footsteps, closer and closer.

From the fog descending from the mountains, appeared the immense and recognizable form of the monster king, Godzilla, making the region tremble by his own footsteps, and with a threatening and growling air, looked at the giant crab with clenched fists. Standing at the top of Godzilla's head, Elsa, looking as small as an ant on his head, also showed a threatening face to Onibaba, and let appear from her thin hands the magic and icy aura of her power, ready to make use again. The king of the titans and the snow queen were there.

_ "Go .... Godzilla .... He came back! And Elsa too!" Anna shouted with renewed strength and hope. Kristoff also showed the same enthusiasm, hugging her daughter.

_ "We are all saved!" Olaf shouted as he smiled back and waved his arms, then gave Sven a caress, reassured as well. Elsa, seeing the damage to the city and also Zilla kneeling in the bay and slightly injured, felt her anger grow even more towards the giant crab.

_ "You, who dared to attack my kingdom and my family, you will regret having come here!" She spoke without hiding her anger and forcefully. Godzilla added a very powerful roar, making the air around him vibrate. Onibaba, although measuring more than fifty meters, was crushed by the presence of Godzilla who was twice his height. Conscious that he had no chance of winning against him, Onibaba wanted to flee, but Zilla closed his powerful jaws on one of the crab's legs, blocking him in his flight. Onibaba tried to free himself by trying to hit Zilla, but his claw was frozen by a new spell from Elsa that had seen the blow come. Onibaba saw with horror his claw as well as the front of his arm breaking into thousands of pieces of ice. Zilla snatched the crab's paw, making him half stumble into the water. Emitting grunts of distress and pain, Onibaba, reduced to helplessness, saw the great shape of Godzilla standing above him. The king of the titans, unmoved by the distress of the giant crab, raised his foot and forcefully lowered it onto Onibaba, striking and brutally crushing it. Godzilla pressed with all her strength, letting hearing the crunches of flesh, shell and bone crackle, mixed with Onibaba's grumbling grunts, and finally, was reduced to a crushed, lifeless giant carcass. Onibaba being dead, Godzilla uttered a mighty roar of triumph, hinting at this new victory among the skies, the lands, and the seas. His gaze then turned to Zilla, who had risen on his feet and did not seem to be suffering too much from the slight injuries inflicted by Onibaba. Zilla and Godzilla looked at each other for a few moments, emitting loud roars as if to communicate with each other. Zilla, although young, recognized Godzilla's authority over him and accepted it, nodding. When Zilla was born, Godzilla had felt his presence at Arendelle and came to make sure, from time to time and without being noticed, that the young titan did not represent a danger for Arendelle in growing up. He was relieved to see the opposite.

With his giant hand and with the utmost care, Godzilla placed Elsa on the harbor floor, where she was immediately joined by Anna, Kristoff, Sven and Olaf. The two sisters hugged each other forcefully, having feared for the other's life again. The queen was such reassured to see each of them was safe and that Arendelle didn't really suffered from the attack. Iduna had stopped crying, Kristoff having managed to calm her down and giving her to Anna, who took her in his arms. Once again, the small group thanked Godzilla, the king of the monsters, for intervening. Godzilla noticed this new smell, coming from the baby Anna carried in her arms, and intrigued, leaned his huge body forward, approaching his snout one meter away from the group and seeming to snort. Anna looked at Elsa, who signaled to her that there was nothing to fear and that she could approach. Anna advanced to Godzilla with her daughter in her arms.

_"Godzilla, let me introduce you to my daughter and new royal family's member, Iduna."

The king of the monsters uttered a peaceful growl, and surprisingly, Iduna did not cry, watching that huge creature leaning over her with a glimmer of curiosity. All were pleasantly surprised. Iduna was a chip beside Godzilla, and yet she did not seem to feel threatened by him. Elsa, a little further back, looked at this with a big smile. This giant god, who could easily annihilate the whole human race if he felt the urge, showed his wisdom and his protective side again. This further reinforced the idea that titans are not all threats. And following this new attack, Elsa finally made a decision, which she knew could have serious consequences for her country, but she would assume.

After looking at Anna and Kristoff's baby, Godzilla stood up straight, and glanced darker at Onibaba's corpse, then at the ocean. In his ancestral spirit, he knew that this isolated attack was not a coincidence. Something serious was at work, he felt it more and more, through the winds and the tides .... The smell of a very old threat, very much more dangerous than Leatherback and Otachi ....

_"Godzilla? ...." suddenly made the voice of the young snow queen, who seemed to bring the titan back to reality. He turned around and leaned toward her. Again, with her hand, she caressed the tip of his muzzle. She looked at him, decidedly. "I made my decision and I would like you to come and support my choice, when the time will come .... please."

The king seemed to guess what she meant, and to her relief, he seemed to nod softly with a neutral growl. She thanked him in silence and put a little kiss on his muzzle. After that, Godzilla went straight up again and headed for the ocean, where he slowly sank his body until he disappeared completely beneath the surface. Zilla Leaned down and brought his giant muzzle closer to Anna, who was reassured to see that he was not suffering the injuries he had suffered. The young titan uttered a neutral grunt as the young princess stroked the tip of her muzzle with her hand and thanked him to have protected Arendelle from this enemy. Then he returned to his underwater cave to regain some strength. Once the two titans left, the water of the bay resumed its calm and the silence returned on Arendelle. The inhabitants, with the protection of the soldiers, began to return to the city, relieved to see that their city is still standing. Anna, however, went towards her sister after confiding Iduna to Kristoff.

_"Elsa, what did you mean by that decision you made?"

Kristoff, Olaf and Sven were also curious. The young queen knew that it was useless to hide this to them and decided to inform them.

_"The world is wrong about Godzilla, and we've had the proof tonight: he's an ally and not an enemy to humans. Attacking him and risk seeing him become our enemy, that's the biggest mistake that could happen, and I refuse to let that happen."

_"Elsa, do you mean that ...?" Kristoff asked but seeming to guess.

_"Yes, my decision is made: I will not take up weapons against Godzilla and the guardians titans. I will let my response to the other leaders be known by giving rise to a big meeting a few leagues from here, on the island of Frotz."

Anna looked at her with some worrying in her eyes.

_ "Elsa, did you think about the consequences of such a choice? Of course I don't want the war between us and Godzilla, but, you also know that humans can be far more dangerous than we think..."

_"I know, Anna ..... I know ...." Elsa said, sighing. But no matter the choice, Anna decided to support her sister, and Kristoff, Olaf and Sven followed her in this movement.

_ "You will always have our support." Kristoff said without hesitation, and supported by Sven who nodded.

_"And no one will change our mind." Olaf added.

Elsa and Anna smiled at their friends for their unfailing support. The little group went back to the castle to rest after the hard night. It remained less than two weeks to Elsa to make known her choice, but it was already done. For her, it was the only right choice to take ..... but at what price?
