Return of the Snow Queen

Hey guys, just having a bit of writers block with my main story, but that doesn't mean I can't slack off. Just to keep you guys entertained until my other story takes off again here's an idea that has been buzzing around in my head all day.

(Spoilers). We all know that at the mid-season finale of OUAT season 4 that Anna, Elsa and Kristoff had taken back Arendelle from Hans and his 12 brothers. The only problem I found is that there was no specific events that show what had happened, other than the fact that Anna had given Hans a black eye. So considering that the writers want to leave that bit for our imaginations I will do just that.

Oh and one thing part of it is inspired by Season 5 of Star Wars the Clone Wars. For those who have seen it you'll know. For those who haven't, look up an episode called the Lawless. It's a ton of fun.

Word of warning. Elsa and possibly Anna and Kristoff may go OOC during the climax. I assure I'll try to prevent that from happening. Though better give you this warning just in case.

Oh I don't own Frozen, OUAT and TCW.

The Kingdom of Arendelle was bathed in a beautiful sunset signalling the end of another day. Despite its beauty, there is darkness afoot. Prince Hans and his 12 brothers from the Southern Isles had taken over the Palace since Elsa had went missing again and they had secretly murdered Anna and Kristoff. Or so they have thought. On a hill overlooking the town, a magical door appeared covered in the same flowery designs associated with the Royal Family. The bronze handle on the door turned and out stepped three individuals. Elsa in her Snow Queen attire, Anna wearing her winter drees and Kristoff in his ice gear. The three of them stepped out and quickly took in the surroundings. Anna was the first one to speak.

"So good to be back home. Not that Storybrooke or whatever that place was is bad. It's just..." Kristoff then continued.

"Not the same." He answered. Anna then pondered for a sec.

"Yeah that's it. I knew there was a reason for marrying you". Kristoff responded with some sarcasm.

"So the good looks or the fact I helped you re-unite with Elsa played no role whatsoever in falling in love with me." Anna looking down and scratching the back of her neck replied sheepishly.

"Well there's those things I'm grateful for." With that she grabbed him by the collar and started kissing him on the lips. It looked like that this would go on for a while until the heard a cough in the corner and realised Elsa was standing there trying not to look. Anna chuckled nervously. Before speaking up.

"Oops sorry Elsa. Forgot you were back there." Elsa simply responded by rolling her eyes before deciding on reminding them on one last problem.

"Anna what's this about Hans and his twelve brothers conquering our home." Anna began to talk. Well more like babbled the events on what had happened during the time Elsa trapped in the Urn.

"Well after you were trapped in the Urn, our Aunt kind of wasn't happy about and froze over the entire Kingdom again. So everything in the Palace was turned into Ice Statues. Anyway when we thawed out, I thought that Ingrid had taken you until I found a piece of straw. Which meant that Rumpelstiltskin had decided to pay a visit. So the plan was to go find him. However Hans and his brothers had also thawed and they had taken over the Palace and claim that you had done it. Which is a lie and planned on pinning the blame on us. Kristoff and I escaped and went to seek out Blackbeard. However Hans and his jerks had beaten us. Which lead to being tied up, placed into a chest and dropped into the middle of the Ocean where our parent's Ship has supposedly had sunk. The rest well you already Know." She looked to find Elsa pacing around taking all this information in. Then Anna spoke up again.

"But it's ok. We stopped our Aunt and were back. So were safe. Right?" Elsa immediately turned her attention to her sister.

"No. If Hans finds out that were still alive. Then he would come after us to no end." She stated gravely. Anna being the symbol of optimism that she is spoke.

"Well we storm the Palace and take back our home its simple." Kristoff wasn't so sure.

"Despite the facts that the Palace is heavily guarded and if we pull this off in the wrong way, the People might think we're as bad as Hans. Then sure it can work." Anna threw a glare at him. But before she can rebut his claim Elsa spoke up.

"Kristoff you're right that plan won't work. But Anna's on the right track" Anna and Kristoff looked at her with a confused expression. Then they both exclaimed at the same time

"I am!"

"She is!"

Elsa looked at them with a slightly exasperated expression before continuing.

"A full assault with three people isn't going to work and if I used my powers in the same way I did on those thugs from Weaslton and Hans escapes then we're going to have people demanding for our heads. Nonetheless we need to take back the palace. That's why I have a plan." Anna chirped up as soon as she heard the word plan.

"Oh good a plan." She exclaimed before turning her look from excited to confuse. "What plan? "Elsa then asked Anna a question about the layout of the Palace.

"Anna did you happened to find any secret passages that lead to the Throne Room?" Elsa inquired. Anna put one hand on her chin and looked down to think about it. Then she snapped her fingers and looked up.

"Yes there's a hidden passageway that leads from the Throne room to the outer wall of the Palace. Dad told me it's an escape passage. He said that to access it there's a hidden panel built into the wall and that pressing it would open a door that has a tunnel which heads straight down. Just follow the Tunnel and there should be another door. Press the panel and you're in the Throne room. Though it's been a while since I have been down there. Why do you ask?"

Elsa answered quickly and confidently.

"Because that's how you and Kristoff will enter the Palace. As soon as it gets dark make your way down to the docks and take the rowboat found at the Pier. Sail around to the outer wall find the hidden panel and enter through there." Kristoff then chimed in.

"Quick question. What are you doing?" Elsa looked at them quickly before taking a breath.

"While you two enter through the passage way. I'll enter through the main gate and approach Hans and his brothers directly." At this Anna and Kristoff went into shock.

"Are you nuts!?" They both exclaimed. Kristoff then continued.

If Hans and his brothers see you. Then you'll become their prisoner." Anna then pleaded.

"Please Elsa. Don't do this. I know I'll take your place." At this point Elsa had cut in.

"No Anna. The entire point of you and Kristoff sneaking around the back is because Hans doesn't know that you two are still alive. Whereas I'm still alive and had escaped the Urn." Kristoff looked relive that Elsa had thought of this plan in detail. But still had questions. Which he went ahead and asked about anyway.

"That's great and all but still how are you going to distract thirteen megalomaniacs at the same time?" At this point Elsa had a confident smile on her face. Then she answered it with her own question.

"Well what do we know about Hans?" Anna immediately jumped on the spot and shot her hand up. The look that would describe a small child who knew a question. Slightly giggling at the sight of her little sister, living up to her excitable reputation. Elsa pointed to her.

"Yes Anna?" She asked, barley containing her laughter. Anna then started to list out Hans's qualities whilst pointing to her fingers.

"Let's see, he's a liar, a cheat, a fraud, arrogant, over-confident, has little respect from his older brothers and thinks you're a monster." Anna listed off quite quickly. Elsa was looking at her slightly shocked. Kristoff was eyeing her suspiciously. Anna looked at both them getting a bit defensive.

"What that was during my "love at first sight" phase." She said while simultaneously becoming a bit jumpy. Elsa was the first to recover and smiled at this and started to speak.

"Exactly and that's what I'm planning to use against him." Anna and Kristoff went back to looking at her with confused looks before Elsa elaborated on it.

"Hans will think that because Anna had put me in the Urn that I'm going to become enraged and vengeful." Anna and Kristoff began to slowly add up the pieces.

"In other words that you'll become the monster he thinks you are." Anna said slowly.

"Which means he'll be intimidated. Though not to the point where he runs off." Kristoff added.

"Hans will try to hide his fear by targeting my own. Which is?" Elsa continued.
"Our bond and what had happened under the spell of shattered sight." Anna answered.

"Then he would gloat about to taking the kingdom by force and mine and Anna's murder." Kristoff surmised.

"And to drive the point home Hans would claim it was a mercy killing because I would be heart broken. The moment he says, that me and Kristoff will come out of hiding and arrest him." Anna exclaimed. Though then the questioning look returned to her face.

"Wait a minute that would work for Hans but what about his twelve brothers. One of them might notice it's an act." Anna pointed out. Thankfully Kristoff already had answer to that.

"When Elsa and I found the Urn, we got into a fight with them. When they saw Elsa drive them back with icicles, they were terrified." Kristoff explained. Elsa then added her own bit.

"Also while I was in Storybrooke, I was looking through the Library and I came across a spell book meant for someone with my powers. Whatever spare time I had, it was used to practice the spells in them and I know a couple that would have them running out of the Palace." Kristoff then looked around and noticed that the Sun was almost set. But still he felt the need to ask one more question.

"Elsa whilst we agreed you're going with the vengeful look. Are you going to change your dress? Not that your current one is bad. Though it might not sell the crazy ice queen look." Elsa then gave a slight chuckle.

You are absolutely right Kristoff and I have the perfect outfit for this mission." She then took a couple steps backwards as snow flake began encircling her. Though these flakes were different because instead of their usual white, they were pitch black. Anna and Kristoff looked on with concern as they noticed Elsa's usual dress change from light blue to a dark navy blue with a slight red tinge. The Snowflakes in her hair turned from white to black. Finally a large cloak flowed from her shoulders down to the ground enveloping her body with a dark snowflake clasp at the front and a hood draping off from the back. Anna was in awe and had a slight fear of her sister's new look. While she thought it looked beautiful. A small part of her was wandering how much chocolate would she need to give to Elsa just to make sure that she would never use that outfit against her. Kristoff was scared beyond belief. He knew Elsa was protective of Anna and when he came to seek her permission to marry her baby sister it was scary enough. That conversation ended with the line "If you break her heart I will personally see to it that you are stuck in an iceberg." Now that she was in a form where that threat could be carried out, well he was silently praying that it definitely wouldn't become a reality.

Elsa looked at the two of them and was nervous of their reactions. They were just standing there mouths agape. So she gave a small cough and that snapped the two of them out of their trance. Anna was the first to speak.

"Well you certainly look different." Then she back tracked a bit. "I mean a good different. I mean… I will give all my chocolate for a year if you never dress up like that again. I'm sorry Elsa but that costume is just scary. Also when did your eyes go yellow?" At that question Elsa cast a piece of Ice onto a boulder next to them and looked. What she saw answered her questions as to why Anna and Kristoff were scared out of their minds. The figure staring back at had the same black outfit but also paler skin and sulphuric yellow eyes. She wandered whether her sweet little sister would look at her the same again. At this point Kristoff's voice snapped her out her own thoughts.

"I promise I will never harm Anna nor will I make her upset. Because if that's what I'm facing when that happens well…" Kristoff trailed off. Elsa then decided to reassure them.

"It's ok I'm still the same person. The spell just changed my appearance that's all. Though if this is your reaction to I can't wait to see Hans's." Then she had a slightly wicked smile crossed her lips.

"Though Anna I might just take up your offer." At this point Anna went back to her old feisty self.

"Oh no if you think that I'm giving up my chocolate supply. Just because you are dressed as a Vampire. Than think again!" She shouted. Elsa chuckled at the sight of her sister going back to normal. Kristoff who had been watching the exchange took a slight look at Arendelle. He noticed that the Sun has finally gone done and the bought it to their attention.
"Whilst the discussion about you personal chocolate supply is both fascinating and interesting. I would like to bring everyone's attention to the fact that the Sun has already gone down and that there are very few people wandering the street." Anna and Elsa turned to notice that the Sun had indeed set and the lanterns and torches that illuminated Arendelle were alight. There were still people walking around but that's to be expected. With that they Elsa faced them with a determined look.

"Alright it's now or never. Hans thinks he can beat us. Well let's give him a reminder of what happens to those that mess with the Royal family." With that Anna jumped shouting whilst Kristoff had a proud smile on his face. The three of them walked down the mountain towards the town to retake their home.

Well that's the end of chapter one. Hope you have enjoyed it. By the way I'm basing Elsa's act off an old deleted scene from Frozen when it was planned for her to be the antagonist. Combined with Palpatine's arrival and demeanor when he arrived onto Mandalore. Though don't expect too much action. Her costume is like I said is a darker more frightening version of her "Snow Queen" outfit and just add a sith robe thrown into the mix. Why I mention that they were planning to use Hans's personality against him well let me explain. Hans in OUAT and the last bit of Frozen was confident in his plans. But despite his adaptability, when his true personality came to the surface. He in my eyes at least became predictable. He gave off the sense of superiority. Thus I might have determined his weakness as all offense and no defence. What that means is that Hans is good a lying to others and may be able to spot some lies himself. But by playing on his personality and lying according to his actions and responses. He would not be able to tell the difference. Still that's just my theory.

As always; favourite and follow. Feel free to review. I'm still new to the fanfic scene so any constructive criticism is appreciated. Though don't expect any favours with trolling and see you in chapter two.
