Frozen: Dark Moon

Hard Choices

ANNA LOWERED her arm as the bright light diminished, her gasping as she looked on in awe at the god of Thunder standing a few feet up ahead. Lightning surged through Thor's hammer as he took in his surroundings, looking at Erhard and Zhu Rong and recognizing Sethos and Lamia who were bound by the powerful Norn Stones.

Elsa and the others recuperated from the sudden flash of light, realizing the god had arrived. "I-is that Thor?" Elsa squinted.

"I thought he was a myth." Anna said.

"Oh, there's a lot more to that myth." Jack got to his feet.

"Well, I'll be ..." North smiled slightly.

"Leave now, I will handle this." Thor spun Mjolnir and fired a bolt of lightning into the sky!

An intense cold quickly swept in as the weather drastically changed, dark clouds amassing above Thor as heavy rain began to pour! Sethos' fires and Lamia's ice was quickly washed away by the storm and Thor paced around Erhard and Zhu Rong, charging lightning through his hammer!

"Wait, wait, wait, what's a god doing here?" Anna asked. "And why'd it rain all of a sudden?"

"I don't think this's the right time to sit around asking questions." Jack looked to the sky, seeing lightning streak across violently above.

"You, wizard, how did you acquire those Norn Stones?" Thor demanded.

"I have my ways." Erhard watched him carefully. "I had not anticipated your arrival, Odinson."

"There's a lot you hadn't accounted for here, Erhard." Zhu Rong huffed. "I guess I'll have to handle this myself." He opened a large portal behind Sethos and Lamia!

"Stop right there!" Thor flew toward Zhu Rong, only to clash with Erhard who got in his way.

"You're not going to get in our way." Erhard said, glancing back and seeing Zhu Rong vanish with the demons.

"Heimdall had requested I be lenient so we can ask questions later, but if you must resist." Thor's eyes burst with energy! "Then I won't hold back!"

Thor smacked Erhard's arm aside and swung at him with his hammer, clashing with a light shield as the wizard quickly blocked the attack! The god's attack overpowered him instantly however, knocking him several meters back, leaving behind a sonic boom and hurtling him into the far off mountains! Spinning Mjolnir, the Asgardian flew off, blowing back Elsa and the others who nearly fell over!

"Well, shit." Merida said, jerking back as lightning struck nearby!

ERHARD PUSHED a rock aside and wheezed as his body was covered in cuts, looking up and seeing Thor coming down in a wave of lightning. The mage teleported into the air and threw up three hand signs, creating a magical seal and firing magical chains at the god. Reacting quickly, Thor smacked the shackles aside, lunging at him!

Erhard swerved out of the way, letting Thor crash to the ground with a swing of his hammer, breaking up the rocks and causing a volcano to explode nearby! Erhard frowned as he saw this while hovering, looking downward and seeing lightning surging through the Thunder god who slowly rose to his feet.

"Gods, demons and hordes of villains – I've been fighting day and night to keep the earth safe since the Convergence and just when I can catch a break, you bastards try and summon all-powerful demons to destroy everything." Thor turned to him. "I'll show you what happens when you anger a god!"

Erhard looked around as the rain intensified, realizing that the storm was covering the entire planet! He sifted his mind when it hit him, bringing a wide grin to his face as he looked back at Thor. "It seems restraint is not an option here, is it." The wizard eyes glowed red and he slammed his hands together, summoning a massive magic circle before him. "Ersyx!"
