TITANS 2150 - The New Era (Disney Monster Universe Phase 2)

Chapter 4 - The Encounter

_ "Patrol 14 to central! Several agents ashore! We need reinforcements now!" yelled a police officer hidden behind the wreckage of a overturned car on its side. Around him lay several of his colleagues, all stunned after being struck by ice projectiles.

Elsa, standing in the middle of the deserted road, continued to look around her in terror and incomprehension. She who had succeeded in escaping from this monstrous tower of glass, now found herself lost in this terrifying city filled with these people with wacky accoutrements and metal machines, like these carts advancing without horses.

Another of those magic wheeled machines, in black and white, and with red and blue lights above her, came through a street, making its horrible sound heard. Through one of the windows, one of the policemen started firing his pistol. Elsa summoned a wall of ice in front of her that stopped the projectiles before they hit her.

_ "No! Leave me!" Elsa shouted.

Still in the grip of fear and the desire to survive, she waved a hand, unleashing a great wave of snow and ice that hit the police car head-on, diverting it from its path and going strike a streetlight. The car's engine then caught fire, but the two officers on board had time to get out and run away before it exploded in a geyser of flame.

Elsa was panting, starting to feel a deep fatigue growing inside her. Her body hadn't quite recovered from the long hibernation yet, and this heavy use of her magic since waking up mixed with her ever-increasing stress wasn't helping.

Looking around, she could see a terrified woman, curled up against a wall and holding a little girl, probably her daughter, in her arms to protect her. The little girl, only five or six years old, was looking Elsa in the eye ... with great fear.

That gaze brought back dark memories in Elsa ... the same expression she had once seen in the eyes of the people of her kingdom, when her powers were revealed ...

_ "Hey, look!" then shouted another citizen, pointing at something to the sky.

Alerted, Elsa also looked and saw a red, flying and very fast shape passed over the buildings. Other figures also appeared from the roofs of the buildings around, to leap and come together in the street, about ten meters from Elsa, who was taken aback by the appearance of these newcomers.

There were six of them ... all wearing different kinds of armor in different colors ... there were two women, three men, and the last one, the most imposing of all and wearing red armor with wings ... didn't look human ...

_ "Look, these are the Big Hero 6!" said one of the citizens, appearing to regain hope.

The Big Hero 6? Elsa did not understand what this meant, but noticed the joy in the eyes of the people when they saw them, as if they were reassured.

For their part, Honey Lemon, Wasabi, Fred and Go Go, all wearing their high-tech hero outfits made by Hiro, stood side by side, all focused, looking towards the Ice Woman. Hiro got off Baymax's back and stepped forward a little more than his friends, in order to speak directly to Elsa, who seeing him do so, took a step back and took a defensive position.

_ "No ... do not approach!" Elsa warned defensively.

_ "Wait, please ..." Hiro answered without showing hostility and raising his hands prominently, stopping to move forward. "... we just want to help you and find out who you are and what you are doing here."

_ "How would I know?" Elsa replied coldly "... I was taken from my land, and brought here ... tell me where I am and what happened to the world ... what era are we?"

Hiro listened to her and could see that she wasn't trying to manipulate him with these questions. She was truly lost, he could guess from the sound of her trembling voice and the spark of confusion in her eyes.
