Chapter 22 - The Fire Demon's Debt

With panic growing in Tabor's ranks and the majority of the soldiers having fled, Anna and her group had no trouble getting out of the prison. Holding her scared daughter preciously in her arms, Kristoff, Moana, Olag and Sven by her side, Anna now gazed in horror at the terrible battle that was unfolding. The city and the whole fjord was devastated, in flames and chaos.

Behind the city, the titans Behemoth, Scylla and Methuselah continued their struggle against Raiju, Scunner, and Shrikethorn. Lying on the ground, Muto had unfortunately succumbed to an attack from Scunner.

In the stormy sky, a deadly aerial dance took place between titans Rodan and Mothra teaming up against the giant vampire, Camazotz, managing to stand up to the two titans at the same time. Camazotz had grabbed Mothra in his jaw and was trying to crush her, but Rodan intervened to help the goddess, violently biting Camazotz on the back of his neck, which made him let go and allowed Mothra to walk away, but hurt.

Moana then saw Kong heading for the bay, where the clash between Godzilla and Shin was still taking place. Moana wished she had wanted to come to Kong's aid, like she had done on Skull Island, but this time she knew she couldn't do anything against a titan of inordinate power like Shin. However, Motunui's young wife turned her attention to Arendelle Castle, and suspected that Elsa was there right now, surely to confront this evil queen, Ravenna.

_ "Anna, you have to run away! I'm going to look for Elsa!" Moana said, taking the princess by the shoulder.

_ "But ... no, I have to help her, she's my sister!" Anna insisted desperately. Moana stared into her eyes.

_ "Princess! Think about your daughter, damn it! You have to get her out of this chaos now!"

Anna froze at these words. Moana was right. Kristoff, although eager to help Elsa too, agreed with Moana and took Anna by the shoulders. The small group then saw Moana do an about-face and start to run as fast as possible, her spear in hand, towards the castle.

Anna carrying Iduna, Kristoff, Sven and Olaf all started to run together through the ruins and flames, trying not to be separated. The small group managed to escape the city limits and were now running through the smoldering plains covered with the dead bodies of Tabor soldiers, Arendelle and Northuldras warriors. As she ran, Anna noticed in dread the lifeless bodies of Yelenna and Mattias, but knowing that there was nothing she could do, continued to run without stopping. She had to get her daughter to safety.

Around the small group, the fighting continued, screams echoing and weapons clashing.

But as Anna ran as fast as she could, she didn't notice the enemy archer who had spotted her and was preparing to shoot her in the back. Sven noticed and also as he could, jumped in front of Anna to protect her. The reindeer was then struck violently in the chest by the arrow which should have killed the princess.

_ "SVEN!" Kristoff yelled as he saw his friend fall heavily to the ground, an arrow piercing his chest. Anna, Iduna and Olaf were also horrified. Seeing that he had missed his target, the archer tried to prepare another arrow. Spotting the shooter, Anna reacts. She picked up a stray crossbow on the ground, and fired the bolt which hit the archer head-on, killing him instantly.

Kristoff had fallen to his knees on the ground, leaning towards his reindeer friend, who was injured and bleeding, having more and more difficulty breathing.

_ "No, don't do that to me! Please, hold on, boy!" begged Kristoff in panic. But Sven, after several seconds of struggling to keep his eyes open, gave Kristoff, Anna and Olaf one last sorry look, then breathed his last. Seeing his friend dying before his eyes, Kristoff, with trembling lips and tears in his eyes, howled all his rage to the sky. Olaf, in tears, came to snuggle up to Sven, as if in the hope that he would wake up even though he knew it was too late now. Holding the crying Iduna in her arms, Anna came to kneel next to her husband, sharing his pain and sadness.

_ "I'm sorry, my love ... I'm so sorry ..." she sighed.

Suddenly Anna screamed in intense pain and almost fell on her side with her daughter, but Kristoff caught her in time. Olaf cried out in terror at what he saw. Anna was in great pain, an arrow piercing her shoulder and causing her to bleed. More than horrified, Kristoff turned to see two other enemy archers approaching and targeting them. Enraged by the loss of Sven and seeing his wife having been injured, Kristoff showed a more than scary face, bloodshot eyes. Screaming in anger, he threw his ice ax with all his might at one of the archers who received the weapon between his eyes, falling heavily back. The other archer was dumbfounded, but prepared to shoot his arrow directly at Kristoff.

Suddenly a large shadow covered the archer, who looking up saw Mothra's huge swift form plunge upon him. The man screamed in fear, before being brutally crushed under the paws of the goddess who landed on the ground. Feeling Anna and her family in danger, Mothra let Rodan take care of Camazotz and come to the aid of the survivors. Miana and Maina then appeared on the goddess's back, waving to Kristoff and his group.

_"Come quickly!" screamed the priestesses.

Kristoff didn't want to leave Sven's body here, but knew he couldn't take it with them. He focused on Anna and Iduna, helping his wounded but still alive wife to come to Mothra, who, to prevent the enemy soldiers from approaching, summoned powerful searing rays of light, sweeping all around her. Anna, Kristoff, Olaf, Iduna ... all climbed on the back of the goddess, who could then fly high towards the sky and get as far as possible from the battlefield.

However, as Mothra flew with all the survivors on his back, a horrific roar was heard not far behind.

_"WARNING!" Kristoff yelled, pointing to something. They all watched with terror Camazotz emerging from the storm and starting to pursue Mothra through the clouds. Where was Rodan? Was he ...? Mothra wondered fearfully, but concentrated on trying to outrun her pursuer.

On Mothra's back, Anna was moaning, her wound causing her a lot of pain, and Kristoff was holding her, doing anything to keep her awake. Iduna, crying, huddled up against her father and screamed in fear with Olaf at the sight of Camazotz not far behind. Miana and Maina were also worried, but managed to keep their cool.

Several times Camazotz snapped his jaws violently, trying to bite Mothra, who dodged him each time. However, having been injured during the aerial combat, Mothra was losing speed and Camazotz was closing in second by second. The group of survivors could see the ghastly head of the giant bat approaching them, ready to devour them.

Suddenly, a gigantic explosion of flames occurred in the storm above them, accompanied by a deafening and recognizable roar. Tearing and pushing aside the dark clouds in his path, Rodan, injured but still alive, emerged again with all his fury and struck Camazotz very violently from above, thus allowing Mothra to take the survivors to safety.

_ "Rodan!" Olaf yelled hopefully.

_ "Go on Rodan, kill him!" Kristoff added. The group of survivors then witnessed the fall of Rodan and Camazotz through the clouds.

Clinging to each other and struggling with fangs and claws, Rodan and Camazotz were falling at high speed in the midst of the storm, getting closer and closer to the ground like two great meteorites. Beneath them were the great snow-capped mountains. In the middle of these mountains, Rodan spotted a large frozen lake and had an idea.

Managing to gain the upper hand on his opponent, Rodan bit him deeply in the wing and tried to drag him down with him from the sky. Camazotz struggled with rage, suffering to see his wing torn. However, Camazotz reacted with violence and bit Rodan in his turn, in the neck. The firebird was in great pain, feeling its blood being sucked in, but wouldn't let go. Rodan then let the demon in him express itself. Unleashing all his power, he let his whole body cover with embers, then flames. Camazotz had to release his grip as he felt his jaw get atrociously burned by Rodan's skin.

For Rodan, it was out of the question to give up now. Him, who had once been saved by that young Northuldra woman, Iduna. He hadn't been able to save her in return, but today he had allowed her daughter, Anna, to stay alive. His debt was now paid.

Seeming to accept his fate, Rodan tightened his bite on Camazotz's wing, which roared more and more as his body was burned.

Then, like meteorites falling from the sky, the two flying titans crashed forcefully into the frozen lake. The impact was so brutal that all the water in the lake was lifted into the air and the surrounding mountains trembled.

From the sky, Mothra and the group of survivors had witnessed the fall. Anna, despite her injury, insisted, and even ordered Mothra to come down, so that they could rescue Rodan. The goddess chose to obey and began to descend towards the lake.

Finally arriving on the edge of the frozen lake, Anna and the others climbed down from Mothra's back and came closer. They then saw Rodan. The great firebird lay motionless, half-emerged in the water of the lake, its head resting on the shore. Camazotz was also lying, his body completely burned and his head torn from his body with Rodan's beak. Camazotz was dead.

But no longer seeing Rodan move, Anna worried.

_ "Rodan!" she screamed as she ran, clenching her teeth from the wound, towards the firebird. Kristoff followed her.

Anna came to the giant head of Rodan, who still hadn't opened his eyes. Laying her hand on the titan's scaly skin, Anna tried to listen to the slightest sound of breathing ... but nothing ...

_ "No ... Rodan, please, you can't die! Not yet!" begged Anna.

Rodan felt himself leaving. Was he going to die for good this time? But as he felt his last strength leaving him, a voice reached him, deep in his mind. First, he thought he heard Iduna's voice, when she had saved him. Then, he managed to discern this voice better, and recognized Anna's. He almost felt like he was reliving a scene from his past.

Anna, on her knees near the titan and supported by Kristoff, then regained hope when she heard a slight growl coming from Rodan. The firebird barely opened its yellow eyes and began to sit up in pain, feeling the effects of the impact. Everyone was relieved to see him still alive. Mothra approached her titan brother and expressed her joy with his shrill moans and with her head gently rubbed against Rodan. The firebird growled too, but rather tiredly, barely managing to stay on its feet.

Although she was once scared of Rodan, Iduna II was showing joy this time seeing him alive, as she joined her parents and saw the great fire titan stand up.

Anna and Rodan's gaze met for a moment. The princess thanked him with a smile and a nod. For a second, Rodan thought he recognized the same look and smile on her face that this young Northuldra woman had long ago.
