Chapter 15: Chapter 12: A Cold Place
The cosmic being held Will and Queen Hydra upon their necks, struggling upon the neutral Alien, deadly grip.
"It seems we'll meet again." His shimmer white eyes stared daggers into Will's, causing his hairs to rise upon the chilly statement. He released the boy sending Will to plummet to his death.
"AHAAAAAAA!!!" Will let out a bloody cry until his screams were no more.
"W-WILL!!!" Queen Hydra grasps, Cometic being applied pressure to her neck, Gaining her attention once more.
"Now, there are two." He said calmly as Queen Hydra winced, staring into a white void called his eyes. Immediately her eyes widen while more cold air escapes between her lips. Slowly darkness approaches fingertips from taking her until the Glacier erupts into waves of shakes, gaining the attention from that being controlling her domain.
"You're stirring awake." He leaned towards Hydra, so they were eye to eye. "If you try to contact him, again. Your head will roll while you watch you're fellow Necrofriggian; be slaughtered by the most brute some and inhumane type of way. Do you need help?" Frightened by his threat, she stays silent. "Good." He spins and cock his arm back, hurling her like a football breaking the sound barrier.
She shrieks, flapping her wings until they numb within the dangerous speed any moral can't take. The Sun awaits her arrival drawing closer by seconds until blinding light engulfs her.
"Queen! My lady!" A strong; yet concerned voice raised his voice. Snapping Hydra awake.
She grasps, drawing forward but sitting firmly within her loyal guard and friend grip.
"It's just a dream, my queen." Her guard states, yet her breathes were; repetitive and quick to lose their flow. "Hydra!!!" Once more, he raised his voice, gaining a dazed look from her. " It's just a dream." Queen Hydra looks around, eyeing her Quarters. Her sheets are white as the blizzard outside her makeshift window were drenched in her sweat, and her dark blue blanket hanging on the side of her bed, threatening to let go. Daze only thinking about Will and the encounter with the being that melted her ice within seconds; the threat that could lead to the extinction of her people.
She regains her breath as her guard soothes her panic. Still covered with sweat, she gazed up at him as if asking him to help within her eyes.
"Frig..." His eyes lock to her's. " You've been there since day one. The Goodship. The Adventures, The sacrifices you made with the Previous queen...'That boy'" Frig was all ears hearing that keyword. " The feelings I have for him, but not only that but something about him makes me feel, he's all connected somehow. What should I do?" Frig stays quiet within his thoughts until he places a hand on her shoulder.
"The previous Queen once told me 'An Icicle is nothing, but air, within; time it'll grow into something astonishing. The cold is all it wants; without it'll become something it's not.' " Queen Hydra hunger for more, not understanding." Frig flashings his white teeth. "I will stand by your side until the day I died, or until you bathe, you reek." Queen Hydra gasp pushing Frig aside as he chuckled.
"Thank you, my wise and loyal companion." She cracked while Frig stood to his feet.
"I'll go prepare the ceremony." He leaves her alone, relieving her of some of her worries, but not the big picture.
...
Sitting on her throne that is too big for her size, Frig stands by her watching, other Necrofriggans talking and eating metal. The everlasting blizzard plays as the music in their ears.
"It seems that they're happy of our return, interesting..." Hydra comments while Frig hasn't batted an eye.
"Who wouldn't?"
"I don't know. I figured this was because of my late appearances."
"You're 'appearances' made those around you excited. Don't downgrade yourself." A loud creak gathers everyone's attention.
The giant door covered in ice opens, letting in a few flakes of snow, revealing to be another Necrofriggian her age.
Her snowy skin and cloak stood out within the crowd of blue flattering as her guards of nine closed the doors behind her. She smiles, flashing her teeth.
"Welcome back, Sister." She strides between the crowd allowing her and her nine guards passage.
Frig stood guard between Hydra as Her sister stopped, a foot away from the steps of ice leading to her royal chair.
"You were not invited." Frig glares, barely closing his eyes.
"Even so, we're blood." Hydra sister shug. "Right, Hydra?" She questioned.
"We are...Avala." Hydra's gaze never left her's as if she's trying to read her soul. Avala smirks.
"Good...Welcome home." She stretches her arms while An ice beam soars over her shoulder and towards Queen Hydra. Frig cut it off: blowing ice of his own. It clashed, slowly dying out until it was nothing but mist in the air.
Hydra guests escape the room screaming for their lives while a cold mist escapes between Frig's clenched teeth.
"You dare! Harm the queen!!! You're Sister!!" He shouts while Avala guards combine Frost's breath creating a huge ice mist heading their way. An ice wall appears, blocking the onslaught within its pillars shot out, hitting every attacker, but Avala glided back in time.
It comes down, revealing Queen Hydra standing up with her arm, stretched out.
Avala clicks her tongue yet smirks, confusing the two until one of her guards grabs Hydra from behind as a blue light flashes. Hydra screams bloody murder while her blue veins pulse.
"HYDRA!!!" Frig comes to her aid yet, Avala guard hurls her into his arms. He slides back, digging his toes into the floor of ice coming to a halt. "My queen?!"
"No...time to worry." She stood to her wobbling feet until they held firm. "We have a kingdom to protect." They stood leg to back as Avala guards surrounded them.
---
The eyes of a Necrofraggian open, staring down the familiar plains of snow.
'What am I doing here? The last time I remember is Benita holding me.' Looking down, his hands were blacker than coal, his four fingers thinner than a pencil lead; The only thing that came to mind. "I'm not cold...I'm Big Chill."
As the blizzard lightened, the boy noticed a Giant Ice Nest-like hive covered in holes like a sponge, yet it stood tall among the wasteland of ice.
"This wasn't there last time Hydra summoned me." He flies towards it and hovers below it: staring up the massive hive studying every crack and hole. "It's bigger than it looks. Wow..."
"Hey!" A voice cracks through the storm and within Big Chill's ears. Snapping to the source, two aliens as himself stare him down. "Queen Avala requested you're Attendance."
"Queen Avala?" Big Chill picks his brain of any information involving Avala, yet nothing comes to mind.
"Quit stalling!" The said aliens posing as guards shove Big Chill getting a grunt out of him.
...
Walking down the halls, Big Chill stares through the holes noticing the Blizzard roaring.
"Uh, this the place?" He asks, coming to sight to the giant ice double doors.
"Enough with your games!" The second Necro guard shoves him against the double doors.
'It's just a dream.' Big Chill huff a sigh, opening the doors.
Queen Avala taps her fingers against the armchair, grinning as Big Chill stands attention.
"Humiliating, is it? What's his name?" She looks to her guard on her left while he whispers. "Ah, Frig; The Protector of Queen Hydris and her processor 'Hydra.' I see you're still looking for the girl. Eight nights to go, I'm afraid." Avala guards crack a chuckle as Big Chill growls under his breath.
'Frig? Who's that guy? And Hydra, what did they do to you?!' He glares, not saying a word causing her pure white teeth to widen.
"Well, I can let you off easy as you kept my Mother alive for so long. Without you, I wouldn't be sitting here." Her guards beat their chests as their roar echoed the room.
"All hail, Queen Avala!!" Avala chuckles at her men's dedication.
"Submit, and you'll get your little queen back." Big Chill stands firm, causing Avala to frown her eyes. Without skipping a beat.
"Bow!!!" A strong force slams Big Chill's head against the floor cracks form as his eyes wander. A Brute twice his size stare daggers with his green beetle eyes.
"Still persistent." Avala sighs. "I need someone like you to stand by me, to protect my people. Don't you think?"
"Where's...the queen?" He grunts out between his clenched teeth.
The floor cracks grew, echoing the silent room. The Brute-Necro increased his force crushing Big Chill's head between his giant palm. Queen Avala stared disgustedly at his Stubbornness.
"Frig." Her voice hollowed while her two fingers tapped against the armrest. "Send him to the mines." The Necro struck him down until everything went black.
...
The sound of cinder block smashing against the ground. Awaken the boy, looking over the shoulder of his attacker with the world around him going in circles. Torches lit the way in the cold and dusty shaft; Welcoming darkness and silence.
Seeing this, Big Chill starts his struggles to shift. To anyone or anything.
"Ugh! Haaaa!" He clenches his fists, to no prevail getting a grunt from his attacker.
"No used." Big Chill pants as the giant continue. "There's no way you'll vanquish her."
"Then why help her? Seeing you and your people can outnumber her."
"Enough." He said menacingly.
Big Chill stays silent throughout his entire ride. They exit: entering a rounded cave with workers phasing through walls collecting chopper.
Some noticed him and stared wide-eyed.
A whip thunders the cave causing Big Chill to flinch.
"You know the rules. No eating until break!" A guard twirls her ice-infused whip around the back of her ankles while the Necro worker looks up at her, holding his whip-marked hand.
"I'm-I'm sorry, it won't happen again." He bows as a stutter fights between his lips.
"You better." She noticed the giant among her people carrying Big Chill. He walks past her while she follows. "Well, if it isn't Frig." Big Chill stares blankly. "Not much of a talker? I'm going to enjoy breaking you.~" She dug her heels with a grin to a glaring Big Chill.
Suddenly the brute hurls Big Chill onto his back, causing dust to swirl, gaining looks from the nearest workers.
"I'm only going to tell you this. Resist, punishment." His heavy stomps grew light while Big Chill pats himself.
'This sucks.' He gazed to a wall with number two forty-three marked beside it.
...
Fifteen bulky copper later, Big Chill phase from the wall, placing another in front of his survey wall.
Hearing a light thump, He snaps his head to a Necro girl who dropped to her knee, pouring sweat. He rushes to her aid.
"H-hey, you ok?" He asked as her eyes landed on him. Her eyes grew.
"Frig!" She grasps, hugging the hips of the boy.
A whip cracks causing, the two to flinch. The cocky mine guard from earlier approaches the duo.
"Work! We're not feeding you to Chit chat!!" Her eyes landed on the boy as a devilish grin grew. "I forgot to mention." She places her three-toe feet onto one of his copper. "No, lunch until twenty." She crushes it into pebbles while Big Chill glares bounces. "Is there a problem?" She asked curiously as the young necro butts in.
"N-no, there-" She stuttered, but that came to a stop by a crack of a whip inches from her face; yelping, she fell to her back.
"No one was talking-" Big Chill stood eye to eye to the guard. "Aaaaa, There he is. I was wondering how long you can keep that noble act up." His fist tightened as the young-Necro and Mine guard noticed. "Are you going to hurt me? Little old me?" She raises a non-existed brow while Big Chill remembers the brute threat/advice. He looks down, taking a step back. "Awww, what a shame...Oops." She stomps, breaking another of his collection, Leading down to thirteen.
--
The Cocky Mine guard leaves as The duo continues their work. Big Chill gazed at his broken copper left to pieces: leaving the roots to the imagination.
"Frig, you don't remember me, do you?" She places a copper down in his pile, looking up at him. Big Chill's eyes widen.
"Queen Hydra." Hydra lightly smirks at her's close friend remembrance.
"I'm glad they didn't harm you too much." She heads back to her wall.
"No, I'm Will!" He tried to convince her, but She gazed back, head tilted.
"No..your not." She goes to phase through the wall.
"I bet your height is shorter than you're age." She stops. "Oh wait, maybe below Fahrenheit if you study it precisely."
"Will!?" Her voice echoes within his mind as she pretends to reorganize the copper. "Frost! Only Will dishes jokes that never land!" Big Chill frowns at her comment. 'What are you doing here? More precisely in Frig's body.'
'You tell me. I woke up a few hours. I think? What are you doing down here while the mini you take your place?'
'We were attacked. What frightened me- was a device that nearly put you in a coma, Is now in the hands of Avala people.' Big Chill plastered smile drops as his eyes grow huge while he snaps his head back at Hydra.
'No, you can't...'
'Yes, Will. The same device Vilgax used to kidnapped you.' Big Chill's heart races taking in a new fear. 'Heard the guards, talking about it. They called it the DNA Cluster or short for DC.'
'They used that on you, didn't they.' Hydra came to a halt taking in the dreaded experience, saddening Big Chill. Steps grew closer from a guard doing role check. 'We'll talk later.' Hydra cuts their talk.
----
Queen Alava sitting on her throne, watches one of Vilgax's henchmen enter.
'Copper?' He questioned while his backup arrived.
"Waiting outside as we speak." Vilgax Henchmen nods to the pleasure of her willingness.
"Vilgax likes to commend your loyalty." He looks to his back up that nods, heading out the doors. "Bring him out."
Steps like metal crash against the ice of the smooth floor as a Cyborg-Necrofiggian enters; Bits of his body pulse the familiar color while its left blue eye glows. Queen Avala gives a wicked smile.
"Anything to please your lord."
----
'How do we get your throne back?' Big Chill asked within the mind of the queen. They were currently taking a break like all the other workers.
'It's useless.' Hydra took a bite from her metal bits, getting a shocked gaze from Big Chill. 'With my sister Alliance with Vilgax, he won't take betrayal so lightly. Plus, with the firepower and technology, he has there's no way we'll win. '
'B-but you have to make it right! Look at your people!' He points to Nercofriggan's workers covered in dirt, some with scars, others a missing limb. 'You are not the type of alien to give up so easily, especially with your people on the line.'
'This is better than making war with Vilgax.' Big Chill's mouth gap, while Hydra avoids the gazed of her friend trying to motivate her.
'Then what?' He stood to his feet, looking down at her. 'You're people with all life drain to grow into someone who follows every order at every begging call...like some drone! Where's the reason for that?' Hydra looks up at Big Chill with a dead expression. "When Vilgax gets what he needed, he'll discard you, and you're people for scraps." He finally opens his mouth, glaring into Hydra's beetle eyes.
"Will...I can't." The boy staggered back, seeing the reality of all things.
'What has happened while I'm gone?' He questioned himself.
"That's...fine." The boy gazes at his half-eaten copper. "At least I have someone to talk to in this hell hole." Big Chill falls to his butt leaning his head back against the wall; closing his eyes. "I'm not hungry." He reaches his hand out: offering his metal bits.
A light shines on Frig, offering copper to her. Suddenly that light took her.
Madness(Zayde WOLF)=Sound cloud
--FlashBack-- <First Person>
Sitting on a cliff, Frig looks to youngling Hydra flapping her little wings keeping; face height to his protector.
"Hydra, I'm not going to be here forever, but I want you to know...I will always be by your side." He offers his half-eaten copper to her.
-Flashback ends-
She stands up getting, Big Chill's attention.
"Hydra?" Big Chills calls, yet it gone by deaf ears. She walks from her post, gaining her people, attention, A Voice booms, authority. A Mined Guard approaches her twirling a DC baton.
"Hey?! What do you think--" Hydra uses frost breath, blowing the guard across the cave and onto his back.
Two other Mine guards glide at Hydra with cracking batons at the ready.
"You shouldn't have tried that!" He pulls back only to get a strike against his jaw by Big Chill, knocking him to his back. Big Chill restrained him and stole his baton from the palm of his hand.
He stood tall, aiming the weapon against the guard's throat. The crackle of the baton fills the quiet shaft.
"Stay down." The guard shallows his throat, nodding to his threat. Hydra walks past them with prep in her steps as the fire in her eyes grows every passing second.
More guards race out through the narrow hall blocking the only exit, Stopping the duo until a voice shouts behind their backs.
"FOR QUEEN HYDRA!!!" A worker charges while others do the same. " FOR QUEEN HYDRA!!!!" The workers and Mined Guards clash. The fights were all over the place. Frost's breath and ice beams spilled over the battlefield on each side.
Big Chill bashes a guard with the DC Baton and looks to Hydra. Ignoring everyone, and by the looks in her eyes, he knew where she's was going.
...
The duo's feet tap down the hall to the throne room. Two of Avala's guards blow a stream of ice down at them, But Big Chill acts like a stand; Blowing an ice cloud twice as big; pushing the guards back.
The guards crash through the double doors, rolling across the floor, gaining Queen Avala's attention.
"Avala! Step. Down." Hydra points with a hint of venom in her voice.
"I figured you gonna do this." The Cyborg NecroFriggian rose from the icy floors and stood guard while his eyes glowed.
"Glacis! YOU DARE TAKE HIS BROTHER FROM HIM!!!" Hydra shouts as Big Chill recalls the missing alien back on earth.
"I'm not the one. Roaming the galaxy for 'Exploration.' You like to call it, but what's funny is you giving up on him like how you gave up now. " Avala smirks as Big Chill points the DC baton while his cold breath escapes between his teeth.
"I'll wipe that smirk from your cocky face!!!" Hydra nods while Queen Avala stands tall from her throne as her pale wing whips from her back, presenting its beauty and cruelty.
"Shall we?!" Avala and Glacis dash towards them, breaking wind while Hydra and Big Chill do the same.
Their screams of battle filled the room and the blizzard outside as Their fight commenced.
Lost Identities-LOST (Feat. Onyra)
Big Chill uses frost breath as Glacis phases through the attack, grabbing Big Chill by the neck; hurling him. He crashes against the wall while two turrets form from Glacis back, surprising Big Chill.
The turrets hum and begin their onslaught of blue-lasers, forcing Big Chill to take flight dodging, everyone like raindrops.
Hydra lifts her arms, creating an ice wall blocking the incoming pursue from Glacis. She pushes her palm forward while the Ice wall slides towards Queen Avala that phases through.
The ice wall smashes into pieces against the side of the room. Queen Avala hovers, blowing a wave of ice while Hydra does the same; Clashing. The sister's rivalry glares into each other souls.
Big Chill flew to the ceiling, flipped, and pushed off, speeding towards Glacis continuing, his spam attack. Big Chill hurls the baton while a laser hits, creating a dust cloud. Before Glacis uses heat signature to scout, Big Chill tackles him through the wall and into the snowy blizzard.
They crash into the snow, wrestling until Big chill inhales blowing, a swarm of ice into his face. Glacis turret shoots Big Chill into the shoulder, causing him to fall back, sliding on ice. The boy howl as his veins reveals, a pulse sharing Glacis's color while his arm turns stiff.
An explosion of power crashes from the top of the nest revealing, Queen Avala plummeting into the snow. Hydra glides after her until she sees a friend of her's screaming in pain while Glacis prepares a final blow.
A memory of Hydra's past comes to light.
--
"I'm not going to be here forever." Frig's face fills her thoughts.
--
Flames burst from her eyes as her roar echos through the icy wasteland. Flames reach the skies highlighting the storm slowly, coming to a halt.
Avala eyes stay on the scene that she wished was a dream.
"No Queen hasn't peaked from that age!!!" She shouts, blocking her eyes from the solar flare coming from Hydra.
The Sun comes into view, aligning itself with Hydra. Red skin ran up Hydra's blue skin; Edges of her wings caught flames, a wave of heat bounced from her melting the snow around, completing her transformation.
"Disappear!!" She blows flames of blue that crash into Glacis. He slides back, holding his ground as some of his skin melts off, revealing more metal while ice underneath him breaks, swallowing him whole.
"TSK!!" Avala clicks her tongue as She flies off while (Ultimate) Hydra watches.
Claps and cheers ring from the nest as thousands of Necro's flew or stood at the open holes.
(Ultimate) Hydra lands rushing to Big Chill that couldn't breathe.
"Will!" She grasps his arm as sweat rolls from Big chill face.
"I told you...you can do it." His grip lost its strength while Hydra's heart raced.
"Will?! Will?! Please, don't leave me, Frig!!!" She traps her head against his chest until a gasp escape between Big chill lips.
"Will?" A tear rolls from her face as it burns into nothing.
"You're...talking about the...boy." A voice so familiar put her at a standstill.
"Frig!!" She hugs him while he returns it with one arm.
"My queen...you're-" He gazed amazed at her transformation, but Hydra beat him to it.
"I know." She looks up to the blazing ball in the sky while a few snowfalls to their shoulders. "Thank you, Will."
