The Nutcracker and Sugar Plum Princess (Eijiro Kirishima X Reader)

Chapter 6

"Sorry... didn't have any rope to help out and I'm sure that Y/n doesn't have a ribbon to be used as a rope as well" the nutcracker said "ribbon?" Y/n curiously questioned but the Captain takes a few breaths, then readjusts himself, nodding to the Nutcracker in thanks.

They then cross the bridge along with Y/n, meeting the Major on the other side safely on the other side, Captain Candy sits down on a nearby boulder to compose himself "are you sure that your fit enough to travel?" Y/n asked him "I'm fine... please...don't-don't worry about me."

"Bad luck about your knapsack, now we'll be needing more supplies!" But Captain Candy stands angrily, glaring at the Major "Supplies? SUPPLIES!!! Thanks to you I almost fell into the ravine!"

Major Mint, incredulously said to him "don't blame me for your sloppy footwork and... general clumsiness!" Captain Candy took a huge gasp on offensive "ME!! Clumsy? I'm clumsy?!"

Major Mint begins to walk away just ignoring him but Captain Candy still has more "you're the bundling clod, hopper!" The Major turns around in shock "who's dangling from a branch?!"

"Who's leadership skills put me there?!"

The two walk off bickering, leaving Y/n and the Nutcracker alone for a moment but chuckled "very manly" said Y/n "thanks, it's the least I could do for an old friend" the nutcracker replied and the two leave to follow Major Mint and Captain Candy.

At the shoreline, the sky overcast and rumbling with distant thunder and they look down at a nearby dock and see a few tattered ships run aground next to it "the captain and I will craft a boat seaworthy, I guess that you two can bring nor gather supplies" Major Mint suggested when Major walks away and Captain Candy follows him, but not before shrugging at Y/n and the Nutcracker.

"Let's go" Y/n followed him which lead her to an arid canyon, filled with dying trees and yellowing grass "the well used to be over there..." He clears some rocks away to reveal a capped well in the ground "well here it is... hmm, someone must have capped it" Y/n is confused "capped it?" The nutcracker nodded "yep" so he draws his sword and pries the cap off of the well, and a great number of flower fairies explode from inside, whizzing through the air.

A smaller flower fairy, with a rose petal tutu and light green skin, flies to the Nutcracker's ear and chirps into it "no problem at all" the nutcracker smiled and turn to Y/n "the Mouse King's army destroyed this valley and trapped them in the well" then a small flower fairy whistles for the other fairies to join her and then they circle around Y/n, chirping and chittering.

"Umm..." the Nutcracker told her "they say you're... beautiful" Y/n cheeks turn pink and looks away bashfully and the flower fairies giggle at the sight "you don't have to blurt that out" Y/n pouted but the fairy begin to dance around the valley, causing the plants to all spring to life once again.

Flowers bloom, and the dying trees sprout leaves and produce apples, Y/n and the Nutcracker walk through the woods, a flower fairy playfully drops some apples on his head then falls into his hand and he tosses it into the air.

"Supplies" he chuckled that made Y/n laugh and Y/n begins to pick apples from the trees, and as she does so more flower fairies begin to encircle her, causing her to dance along with them. A few flower fairies push the Nutcracker and Y/n together. The two reach out to take each other's hand, but are interrupted by the sound of large footsteps. The flower fairies gasp and scatter at the sight of the approaching rock giant.

"Run!" Called in union as they make a run for it and the giant tramples the orchard as it chases after Y/n and the Nutcracker, however, Major Mint and Captain Candy are seen readying a boat to be pushed into the water, when they hear the approaching footsteps "Major! Captain!"

Major Mint leans on the boat impatiently "Ara Ara, what's she carrying on about now, probably saw a snake... or a spider... or...."

"ROCK GIANT!" Captain Candy yelled when Y/n and the Nutcracker race down the hill as the giant comes into view "that thing is massive!" Major Mint's monocle falling from his eye but Pimm is flying next to the rock giant, flapping wildly to keep up with it "right there, right there! Blimey... I'm as blind as a bat and even I can see 'em!"

Y/n rushes for cover behind a boulder "Major, Captain, over here!" The Major and the Captain join her behind the boulder, along with the Nutcracker and the rock giant reaches down, grabs a large stone and hurls it at the boat, splintering it into pieces.

The Major stands up irritably, yelling at the giant "you bastard! Do you have any idea how I worked on that sail a good half-hour, you cheeky blighter!" Captain Candy stands up and puts a hand on the Major's shoulder, startling him.

"Oh I have an idea! Why don't you invite him over for tea and cakes while you're at it?!" The rock giant roars ferociously and begins to lumber towards them as they feel cornered, the party is suddenly surrounded by snow fairies who begin to freeze the sea and distract the rock giant.

A few more snow fairies arrive, leading Marzipan and her sleigh behind them "Marzipan!" Y/n pointed "let's go before the snow fairies disappear!"

Y/n and the Nutcracker rush to the sleigh, but the Major is frozen in surprise and Captain Candy grabs his hand and yanks him towards the sleigh and the two jump in, flicking the reins. Marzipan speeds off across the ice, and the rock giant begins to follow, undeterred by the fairies "more he does that, he'll break right through that ice!"

Major Mint looks back at the monster, who doesn't seem to be putting a dent in the ice "it seems the snow fairies did their job too well." The Nutcracker leans forward and grabs the reins from Major Mint's hands, tugging Marzipan to a halt then leaps from the sleigh and draws his sword, rushing to confront the giant.

"You know a sword's not going to do you any good, lad...You'll be pulverized!" Major Mint called when Y/n added "be careful!"

The Nutcracker slides to a halt, raising his sword over his head "its fine, wood floats..." brings his sword down, jabbing the ice and causing it to crack and split "...rock doesn't!"

"Hurry!" Y/n yelled when the nutcracker run while Major Mint cried "come on! Put some zing in it!" He runs back to the sleigh as quickly as possible, grasping onto the back as the Major flicks the reins to send Marzipan on her way again.

But to the rock giant hits the shattered ice and his feet plunge into the ocean below for he tries desperately to cling onto the ice, but it cracks as well, crumbles beneath his arms and he make a final roar for how he sinks beneath the surface, hitting down.
