Chapter 3 - Unexpected Situation


Elsa, closely followed by Anna, Kristoff, Sven and Olaf, hastened after the call of Commander Ulrik as soon as possible, indicating that a survivor had been found. In the midst of the smoking, black ruins of what looked like a warehouse, five soldiers were busy removing the heaviest debris, while two others were helping a figure to rise up by supporting his arms and shoulders. The survivor was a young man between twenty and twenty-five years old, a fisherman in view of his outfit. His face was covered with dust and some minor wounds, but he was breathing, emitting groans, and looking half-conscious around him. One of his legs seemed more seriously injured, dragging on the ground without any reaction.

- "He was stuck under big wooden planks. Maybe a beam collapsed on him." Ulrik said as a option.

The two guards helped the young fisherman to sit on a rock, as he slowly regained his senses. Anna rushed to put a blanket of fabric on his shoulders to warm him up a little.

- "You're lucky to still be alive." said the princess to reassure him. The man seemed suddenly to emerge from a terrible nightmare. his eyes exhumed, breathing very hard, he looked around him with a frightened face. He screamed in fear, agitated like crazy despite his bloody leg.

- "NO, I DON'T WANT TO DIE! NO! HELP!" he cried like a madman. Anna and Elsa were surprised by this sudden reaction. Ulrik and Kristoff rushed to restrain him and try to calm him down. The young survivor was struggling, frightened by these two strangers who wanted to master him. He bit hard at Ulrik's hand, who gave a little cry of pain and stepped back, the mark of teeth on his reddened flesh. The survivor then kicked Kristoff's knee, who also pulled back, kneeling with pain.

"Kristoff, are you okay?" Anna asked, going to him, her fiance biting her lip and nodding.

- "Maybe he needs a warm hug?" Olaf suggested. It was an interesting idea, but Elsa wanted to try something else. The queen stepped forward, kneeling beside the survivor, and gently cupped her hands, forcing him to look at her in the eyes. Sensing the icy, soft hands of the queen on her cheeks, the man suddenly seemed to calm down, taking a breath gradually normal and stopped any nervous movement. All around, all seemed to admire the speed Elsa had had to calm him down.

- "There is no need to say, your sister will never stop to surprise me." whispered Kristoff to Anna, who agreed with him. The young survivor looked into Elsa's eyes, and in a flash of lucidity seemed to recognize her.

-"Ma....Maje.....Majesty?" he stuttered in his trembling voice.

- "You are saved now and under my protection" she replied reassuringly "Can you tell me what happened here?"

Despite his traumatized face, the young man seemed to think for a moment, biting his lips nervously, and the body trembling under his blanket of survival.

- "I .... It was a day like the others ...... We were about to go fishing ...... And suddenly ..... A huge shadow has hidden the sky and the sun in a few seconds ..... Then a deafening scream, straight out of a nightmare .... And then ..... hell fell on us ..... "

He spoke more and more with difficulty, at the end of his nerves and undoubtedly seeing horrible images come back into his mind, he collapsed in tears, his head hidden in his lap. Everyone had listened carefully to this description which did not really make much sense. Hell fell on them? A huge shadow hiding the sky and the sun? Just these words made the small group quiver with anguish. Ulrik was less convinced.

- "Come on, he's probably delirious. We should look around, the culprits may be hiding in the forest."

Elsa had a bad look on her commander in the face of his condescension to this young survivor, but on the other hand, looking for clues in the ruins might be useful. Having heard the captain talk about staying here, the survivor suddenly raised his head, his cheeks red and wet. Eyes shot with blood and fear, he grabbed Elsa's arm roughly.

- "No, we have to leave from here, right now, or he'll come back!" he cried with despair. Ulrik immediately removed him from the queen. Elsa pulled back, more surprised than hurt, and joined by Anna and Kristoff who made sure she was fine. Olaf watched all that, sitting on Sven's back.

- "He seems to have lost some neurons." said the snowman by scratching the back of his head. The reindeer answered with a small nod. Ulrik and another soldier mastered the man on the ground and tried to calm him down, unsuccessfully.

- "He'll kill us all! He'll kill us all!" repeated the survivor on the edge of madness.

- "Who will kill us all?!" Anna asked insistently.

Suddenly, the earth was shaken by a violent tremor, which almost made everyone lose their balance. Kristoff grabbed Anna in her arms, while Olaf clung to Sven's woods, as surprised as the others. The tremor had been accompanied by a dull and terrifying rumble, seeming to come from under the sea. At the edge of the crumbling harbor, the ocean seemed suddenly agitated with waves and waves crashing against the ruins. A strong wind got up without warning, as if a storm was coming and the air was getting colder, this time without Elsa having anything to do with it.

-"What was that?" Kristoff said in a tone not very reassured.

The others did not even have time to answer that the answer came from itself. The ocean suddenly seemed to explode, literally lifting a mountain of water and foam up to a hundred meters in the air. Elsa, Anna, and all the rest of the group, taken by surprise, stepped back a few steps. When the water and the smoke dissipated, everyone looked horrified, as if they had seen their worst nightmare come to life.

A dark, menacing form stood in the water. A body nearly 278 feet tall, very massive and slightly leaning forward, supported by two huge arms like those of a gorilla, and a back slightly carapaceous like a turtle. A scaly blue-green skin and covered with glistening veinlets. And a nightmare head, with six blue reptilian eyes, a jaw filled with sharp teeth and a crest on top of the skull. The body dripping with sea water, the enormous thing took a step forward, still shaking the ground, and emitted a loud, bestial roar. The inside of his mouth shone with the same phosphorescent light as his veinlets.

- "Oh gods..... It's .... It's impossible ...." stammered Anna, paralyzed by fear. Around her, everyone stood in the same way, without moving, staring at this thing that should not even exist. All had felt their bodies paralyzed at the sight of this creature. Elsa had never felt so much fear in her heart. Kristoff tried to pinch his cheek to wake up, but it was not a nightmare. Sven felt his four paws slamming like castanets and Olaf didn't dare to say a word.

The huge gorilla-turtle creature seemed to sniff the air like a hunting animal, and suddenly turned its gaze to the middle of the ruins. A small group of humans standing there looking at him with horror. New preys! Emitting another roar, the giant monster began, like an angry gorilla, to charge towards the small group. Out of the water, he crushed everything in his path under his huge fists.

- "Run!" Elsa ordered on the spot. Anna and Kristoff immediately obeyed and ran as fast as they could towards the forest, helping the survivor by taking him by the arms, and followed by Sven and Olaf. Most of the soldiers panicked and ran in all directions. Ulrik and some of the more courageous soldiers, took up their weapons and seemed ready to fight with this imposing enemy rising from hell. His sword in hand, Ulrik, ignoring the fear, pointed his blade towards the creature getting closer and closer.

- "Soldiers! Fire at will!"

Aligned and in firing position, the soldiers obeyed. The canons of the rifles spit out their bullets in an immense sound of detonation. But for this huge creature, rifle bullets were like mosquito bites. Feeling the projectiles bounce against his thick scaly skin, the monster roars even louder, continuing to charge and shake the entire area under its enormous weight. Elsa had not fled and made sure that her friends were fleeing as far as she could, took her courage in both hands and headed back in the opposite direction to help her soldiers. To face this thing was madness, they had no chance against it. Ulrik and his way of wanting to play the heroes. Elsa cursed him inwardly. Looking over her shoulder as she fled, Anna saw her sister go towards the creature. The princess's heart leaped in her bosom.

- "ELSA!" Anna shouted, trying to join her, but quickly restrained by Kristoff's arm.

- "Anna, it's too dangerous! We have to leave, now!" Kristoff told him insistently, though seeing Elsa moving toward danger also made him panic. Tears ran down the princess's cheeks.

- "I can not leave her!"

The gorilla-turtle creature was only a hundred meters from its preys, and at that distance, it seemed even more massive in their eyes. Raising his fists above his head, the creature lowered them and hit the ground hard. A powerful and violent shock wave occurred. The strength was such that Ulrik and his men were thrown several meters back as if they weighed nothing. Elsa too had suffered the full wave and rolled back, completely dizzy. Anna, Kristoff, Sven and Olaf also felt the impact from their position. What a devastating strength! And it certainly was not the only thing that this creature could do.

Three soldiers headed for the monster, firing again with their rifles towards his head, but again without any effect, if not to annoy him even more. The monster stared at them angrily, and crushed them without mercy with a monstrous punch. Ulrik, on the ground and regaining his senses, saw his three men being reduced to dust by this blow. Elsa too had witnessed their death, helpless. More shots came from another group of five soldiers, standing a little further. In response to their attack, the monster grabbed the remains of a house in his hands, lifting it up like nothing and threw it at the soldiers, who even while trying to escape, were crushed by the ruin that fell on them from the air. Striking his chest like a gorilla, the giant roared with all his ferocity. Desperate by the carnage that was taking place before her eyes, the queen got back to her feet.

-"Soldiers! Save your lives and go away! This monster is too powerful!" Elsa shouted at her men, wanting to save the lives of those who were still. Most have obeyed their sovereign and begin to run to the forest. Ulrik, although reluctant, had to resign himself and helped by two of his men, quit the fight. He was surprised, however, to see Queen Elsa stay behind and standing before the giant creature.

- "Majesty! Come with us!" shouted the commander. She did not listen, too focused on the monster. She was the queen, and had to protect her people from threats. The giant grunted at the sight of its preys running away. Oh no, he was not going to let them go like that.... BAM! A huge block of ice hit the monster on a side of his head, without him seeing it coming. A little stunned by this shock, the creature grunted furiously and looked down. Elsa stood there, her hands outstretched. She had created this block of ice and sent it with all her strength. Surrounding her hands with ice energy, the queen began to create another. She showed in her gaze that she was ready to use all her power against the monster. This one at first seemed surprised by such power coming from what he believed to be a banal human woman. Elsa created the second big block of ice and with her power, threw it towards the monster. But this time, he grabbed the block and crushed it between his powerful hands. Elsa had foreseen this and threw a powerful torrent of gel from her palms. The monster lowered his head, emitting a groan of perplexity, seeing his legs cover up with ice slowly.

BAM! Another block of ice again hit the monster's head violently, who looked up at the young queen. She had taken advantage of his attention turned to his legs to attack his head again. The monster's eyes filled with black fury. How did this little human dare to do that?

Effortlessly breaking the ice on his legs, the monster prepared to strike with all his strength with one of his fists. Aware of the danger, Elsa knew she could not avoid such a big fist just by running. Caught unawares, she created a wall of ice in front of her as protection. The fist hit violently, blowing the ice wall into pieces. Elsa was thrown back by the shock wave of the blow and rolled several meters back. At least the wall of ice had absorbed the full impact.

Nevertheless, Elsa had not emerged completely unscathed from this shock. Stunned, she barely managed to get back to her feet. Moreover, she was out of breath. Further back, on the edge of the forest, the others watched the fight, hearts beating. Anna, in the grip of the greatest fear, saw her sister in great difficulty facing this colossal monster.

- "Elsa is in danger!" Olaf said worriedly, although everyone has already noticed this detail. Sven gave a groan of fear in response. Unable to stay longer without doing anything, Anna ran to her sister, under the stares of everyone.

- "Anna, no!" Kristoff shouted trying to hold her back, but this time he could not. The ball in his stomach, he saw his fiancee go to the place of the fight, and ran after her without waiting.

- "Come back here you both, immediately! You're crazy!" Ulrik shouted, wanting to chase after them, but with an injured leg, he could not get very far.

- "Let's go, Sven!" said Olaf, slapping the back of the reindeer, who immediately obeyed and galloped.

Elsa's vision was troubled and her ears seemed clogged. Around her, the ashes, the smoke ..... And the giant figure of this infernal monster emerging from the fog and heading towards her to finish her. In a desperate move, Elsa threw a new point-shaped ice projectile toward the monster, but he easily destroyed it with a setback of the arm. Elsa tried again and again, but each time the attacks were easily parried. She did not see what spell to use to try to stop it, or at least slow it down. A feeling of defeat overran her, and a tear ran down her cheek.

- "Elsa!"

The sudden voice of her sister took Elsa out of her torpor. Anna arrived like a rocket and fell on her knees to her sister, clasping her arms around her as she was reassured to see her still alive.

- "Anna, do not stay here, it's too dangerous." Elsa asked her almost like an order, but mostly worried about her little sister. The earth trembled beneath them and the huge shadow of the monster covered them. He was scarcely twenty yards from them, and looked at them with his six horrible eyes and a carnivorous smile. Kristoff, Olaf and Sven joined the two sisters, to see the huge monster standing in front of them, dominating them all the way up. Elsa, helped by her sister, got up and wanted to act as a shield with her own body.

- "Put all of you behind me." she said, wrapping her hands again with ice energy. If she were to die, it would be in fighting. Anna stayed with her, determined to support her sister, until the end. Faced with the determined look of the young queen to want to block the way, the monster groaned with anger, salivating at the idea of devouring her as the prey she was at his eyes.

Suddenly, the monster seemed to change its attitude and sniffed the air around him, before turning towards the ocean. Perplexed by this sudden change in behavior, the small group also looked in the same direction. On the ocean, three long rows of huge rocky peaks protruded from the surface, tearing the water in their wake and seeming to be getting closer and closer to the mainland. The gorilla-turtle monster stared at these things and uttered a furious roar.

-"What is it?" Anna wondered.

-"I don't know." Elsa answered frankly. Deep inside her, Elsa felt a curious sensation. An immense power had just arrived. A power that goes beyond any possible imagination. A power much older and powerful than hers. And it was coming from the ocean.

The rocky pikes suddenly stopped their advance and for a few seconds nothing happened. Then, the ocean water rose again as if a mountain emerged. Elsa and the rest of the group remained speechless, once again divided between fear and fascination with what they saw.

This form was much larger than the first monster and rose as high as the surrounding mountains. A body as massive, but straight and humanoid, 355 feet of height, and supported by two large and thick legs. 547 feet of length, including the thick lizard tail. Along the body, two powerful arms and armed formidable claws. A back covered by these strange dorsal spines resembling rock. Scaly and black skin with a very solid appearance. And on the upper body, a reptile head with short muzzle and jaw filled with sharp teeth. Two yellow eyes, almost golden, showing a deep anger and above all a force out of the ordinary. He seemed omnipotent. At the sight of this new creature, the group of Elsa felt crushed by its mere presence, as if the presence of God himself had been felt. Anna took refuge in Kristoff's arms and snuggled against him. Olaf and Sven retreated, frightened. Elsa did not move and stared at this monster. She understood now. That power she felt deep in her heart came from that other monstrous colossus.

- "By the gods ...." she whispered.

The gorilla-turtle monster had turned away from its initial preys. Now facing this intruder, and even if he was dominated by the larger size of the other creature, he uttered a loud roar to make him understand that he was not welcome here. The reaction of the gigantic humanoid reptile was not long in coming. Frowning, his fists clenched and emitting a growl, he gave a roar as an answer. A roar even more deafening, which shook the surroundings and made vibrate the mountains and the ground. Elsa, Anna, and the others all had to cover their ears so they would not be deafened by that all-powerful and indescribable roar. A sound that would remain engraved in their memories, forever.
