Ice and flames clashed as Axel and Elsa danced around the castle courtyard. The cryomancer queen had changed her wardrobe before their little sparing match. It now looked similar to Kairi's but icy blue in color with snowflakes in place of the plaid. In her hand, she held a curved sword made of solid ice. The sword's guard was shaped like a snowflake the blade glowing with a rainbow of colors.
With skating steps, she rushed toward the Axel blade held high. Mere steps away she spun on her heel dropping her blade in a wide arc. In a flash, he leaped back summoning his charkarm in his free hand. Using the disk weapon as a shield he blocked her strike sending her stumbling. As she stumbled Axel charged her swinging his keyblade in slow menacing slashes. Skating back Elsa did her best to block his strikes.
"Impressive your if I weren't an expert fighter you might have hit me," Axel started with a smile
"Oh, proud are we hero?" Elsa asked with a smirking
A cold wind blew past Axel's back as a flurry of snow brushed by his arm. In a frigid whirlwind, the snow began to clump and take shape. The form it took was that of Elsa complete with a basic blade of ice. With an eerie silence, the snowy replica moved delicately poking their blade between Axel's shoulder blades.
"I believe that's a point for me, "Elsa announced with snowclone echoing her words
As Axel opened his mouth to reply he crumbled to the ground. As she lurched forward to grab him she gasped. Beneath him, a portal was beginning to appear the black-purple swirl taking him in like quicksand. With a swift glance down he smiled at her before being pushed from the vortex. At the edge of the shadow portal, he froze as she sunk deeper into the darkness. His gloved hand reached for hers only for their fingers to gaze at each other.
"Go now before they get you too." She pleaded
The last thing he saw was her face contorted in a sorrowful expression. As suddenly as it appeared the portal vanished leaving him standing alone in the courtyard. Dropping to his knees he gave an angry roar a circle of flames erupting from all around him. He was going to find this guy and roast him personally. He had made the ultimate mistake in hurting someone he cared about how he would pay.
"I'll save you, your highness," Axel vowed to himself
From the shadows, a clone of himself formed grinning at him. It held a replica of his blade but its flame was a sickly green as it flickered. In a mocking gesture, the clone mimicked his "Got it memorized?" pose. With a weak laugh, he sliced the abomination in two without flinching. With a spin of his blade, he sighed turning to head inside. As he took a step another clone appeared in his shadow. Pausing Axel tightened his grip on the Eternal Flame vowing to bring the ice queen back. With the skill of an expert welder, Axel harnessed his magic through the blade. Roasting the final shadow of himself he swung turning it to dust. With a huff, he vanished his weapon finally going inside.
From the window above the battlefield, Maleficent made a small ticking noise. If he had dark power the man could be a problem. Getting the queen back was a high priority but the risk outweighed the reward. Perhaps they could even find the young man's body along the way. As she weighed the options the door behind her opened. slowly Yen Sid entered looking at her his face set in a stern glare.
"So how do we get the young queen back?"
"Get her back excuse me are you senile?" She asked
Turning to the aged master she wore a face lacking emotion save for her eyes. Her eyes showed a mixture of confusion and frustration. Glancing further back she found Kairi and Ansem's staff the former organization members. They wore matching looks of seriousness their eyes directed at her. Closing her eyes she turned to face the floor looking at the floor.
"I might know where she is, but I can't promise the journey will be easy" she muttered
"You act as if we've never dealt with that before."
The voice of Sora echoed through the room as an image of him appeared beside Kairi. Everyone in attendance stepped back in surprise. Staring at the ghostly image in the confusion they simply shrugged. A wispy string was barely visible coming from Kairi's heart to Sora. The phantom stared down the dark queen a smug smirk on his features.
"I wouldn't be so smug Sora you can't exactly help out this time," Maleficent stated with a laugh
"True but we have plenty of friends to make up for it," Sora muttered placing a hand on his heart
"You win child perhaps you'll even get something back yourself." The witch announced
