Frozen Mars

Frozen Mars by Anon

>>Elsa and Anna's parent are astronauts, who die when their space shuttle explodes on the launchpad
>>Elsa and Anna follow in their footsteps and become astronauts
>>They are sent to Mars in the near future to live in a small research complex
>>They're accompanied by a talking robot named O.L.A.F. whom Elsa built
>>Small living rock creatures are in fact Martians
>>New ship arrives bringing colonists Hans and Kristoff, and his Mars rover Sven
>>Anna is later frozen by the cold vacuum of space while orbiting the planet
>>The team must rely on strange Martian technology to try and save her.
>>The duke is a scheming business tycoon who wants to exploit Mars for its natural resources


>>Elsa discovers their equipment is being sabotaged
>>Could there be a traitor in their midst? or are the Martians not as benevolent as they appeared
>>The station has lost all communication
>>Anna and O.L.A.F. go up into orbit in a small ship trying to send communications
>>The ship has been sabotaged
>>Anna is 'frozen'
>>With no ships strong enough to get anywhere, the team decides to risk asking the 'Martians' for help.
>>Krtistoff and O.L.A.F. brave a gathering storm in the Sven Rover to take Anna to the 'Martians'
>>They temporarily revive Anna with crazy technology, but she is still weak.
>>The storm complicates their return.
>>Having had no communications from the station for several days, 'The Duke', already suspicious of Elsa, and fearing a loss on his investments, sends two ex-space marines in his employ to investigate
>>still using bullet-firing guns
>>Why aren't they using laser guns in the future?
>>They find Elsa alone in the research station, unable to prove anyone else is still alive
>>Hans suspiciously absent
>>They take her back aboard their ship
>>Into the science lab
>>Floating suspended in a tube is a black-haired clone of Elsa
>>They wake it up.


>>Elsa's clone wakes up
>>She's been conditioned to work for the Duke. And to be evil, obviously
>>Returns to the station
>>Where is Hans?
>>Spoiler, he's the one who's been sabotaging everything!
>>He was working for the Duke the whole time, and was only sent to keep an eye on Elsa.
>>Kristoff and O.L.A.F. finally return with Anna
>>They encounter black-haired Elsa who claims to be the real one
>>She claims it was her who has been sabotaging the base and the ships
>>that it was her who tried to kill Anna by sabotaging the ship
>>Why are you black-haired now Elsa, and evil?
>>Anna is still not fully healed. She's dying.
>>There's only one thing that can save her
>>O.L.A.F. is suspicious. He can tell that Black-haired Elsa is not his creator
>>O.L.A.F. sneaks aboard the operators' ship
>>He unlocks the doors to the science lab to find Elsa unconscious on the floor
>>Lab? Canisters of liquid nitrogen and dangerous chemicals all around? Cool. Let's get to work
>>Elsa and O.L.A.F. sneak through the ship.
>>To their horror, they find it is filled with hundreds of Elsa clones in suspended animation
>>Elsa sees Wedge-Marine and sneaks up behind him
>>SURPRISE SCI-FI NITROGEN BOMBS!
>>Wedge is frozen...
>>Elsa and O.L.A.F. sneak back into the station
>>Evil Elsa is in command
>>Dying Anna is locked in the medical bay with Kristoff.
>>Hans has returned after raiding the armory.
>>Hans, Biggs-Marine and Evil Elsa are suiting up to go Martian hunting.


>>Lock & Load
>>Suddenly a crash from outside
>>Hans, Biggs and Evil Elsa run to investigate
>>Sci-fi bomb chemicals have mutated frozen Wedge into a giant rampaging, icy monstrosity.
>>The bullets are useless
>>I bet they wish they had brought laser guns right about now
>>the fight goes on
>>Excellent distraction
>>Elsa and O.L.A.F. make their way to the medical bay.
>>Anna is lying still, Kristoff gloomy
>>O.L.A.F. is able to open the doors
>>Elsa explains to Kristoff that the black-haired Elsa is a clone.
>>Kristoff says Anna's heart is failing, she would probably need a transplant to survive
>>Elsa steps up to the plate.
>>Would her heart be able to save Anna? she would give it
>>But if evil Elsa is a clone, couldn't they use her heart instead?
>>Oh yeah, the ship is full of Elsa clones how about one of those?
>>Good point O.L.A.F.
>>There also might be an Anna clone aboard too
>>Worth a shot at least.
>>Leave Kristoff in the medical bay with Anna on life-support
>>the fighting rages on outside
>>Gonna need a way around that
>>Mech bay?
>>Mech bay
>>Garage level: Utility Mech bay
>>Mid level: Recon Mech bay
>>Top level: Combat Mech bay
>>Top Mech bay door opens
>>The battling group looks up
>>The "Big Brother" mech emerges from the bay
>>O.L.A.F. is in the cockpit
>>Machine piloting a machine
>>Let's do this.


>>Elsa makes a break for it
>>Gotta be stealthy
>>O.L.A.F. will keep 'them' busy
>>Most of them... Biggs-Marine is missing
>>Maybe he's already dead
>>Elsa gets to the ship
>>It's heavily damaged
>>What...
>>Oh right the rampaging ice monster thing
>>Kind of your fault there, Elsa...
>>Let's see what's left in here
>>Shattered suspension containers everywhere
>>Elsa clones on the floor
>>Creepy
>>Elsa moves down the hall.
>>Let's see what we have left
>>We have...
>>Deformed Elsa
>>Malformed Elsa
>>...another malformed Elsa
>>Malnourished Elsa
>>Anorexic Elsa
>>Bloated Elsa
>>Puffy Elsa
>>Baby Elsa
>>Half-grown Elsa
>>Teenage Elsa
>>Armless Elsa
>>Green Elsa
>>Green Elsa? for what purpose?
>>Blue Elsa
>>Why
>>Moving on
>>Male Elsa? bizarre looking
>>What exactly were they planning on doing with all these Elsas?
>>Two headed Elsa
>>Conjoined Twin Elsa
>>...Anna Elsa
>>Hold up
>>Now we're getting somewhere
>>Bright Red Anna
>>Or not...
>>Are there no normal Annas?
>>Are there no normal Elsas for that matter?
>>Suddenly a noise
>>Is there something else alive on board this ship?
>>It better not be one of these mutant clones
>>It's just Biggs-Marine
>>just Biggs-Marine
>>"Self Destruction sequence initiated"


>>Uh oh
>>The self destruct countdown begins to sound through the ship
>>Biggs-Marine stares at Elsa for moment before falling forward as a loud clunk echos through the hallway
>>Kristoff has followed her onto the ship
>>Thanks, but you left my dying sister alone?
>>Elsa pockets Biggs-Marine's wristcom
>>Together, Elsa and Kristoff grab the nearest clone body from the floor
>>It's better than nothing
>>They run back outside
>>Evil Elsa and Hans are cowering behind some construction material
>>O.L.A.F. is punching the stuffing out of the Wedge Monster
>>Wedge Monster goes for a girder lying nearby and drives it through the Big Brother's arm
>>The impaled mech falters
>>Elsa calls to O.L.A.F. on the wristcom, telling him that the ship is about to explode
>>O.L.A.F. has an idea
>>He activates the mech's on-board EMP wave-blast hoping to knock out the self-destruct mechanism
>>Elsa cries out that the EMP will disable O.L.A.F. too. But that's a price he's willing to pay
>>I've calculated the wave radius, Anna's life support systems should not be effected
>>Oh right, Anna. Good thinking
>>There's a crackling jolt in the air as the power all around them goes out
>>Your calculations had better be right O.L.A.F. You had better not have just killed my sister
>>The Big Brother slumps to to ground
>>But the countdown timer is still echoing from the ship
>>That didn't work
>>And now they're minus one mech, with a rampaging ice mutant still on the loose.
>>Probably should have thought that one through a little more
>>Elsa and Kristoff hurry over to the Sven Rover and dump the clone body onto it
>>Kristoff yells at the rover to start and furiously pounds the ignition
>>Elsa wonders out loud if he realizes an EMP blast just knocked out power to almost everything in the vicinity
>>Kristoff smirks
>>This baby's analog
>>Vroom vroom.


>>The rover is in motion
>>...somehow
>>Speeding back to the main facility
>>The ship must be about to blow
>>Kristoff is muttering under his breath
>>...is he talking to the rover?
>>Is the rover listening?
>>Oh right, the simple on-board AI
>>Up that ramp
>>Around those girders
>>Dodge that giant ice mutant
>>...that's tearing apart the motionless Big Brother
>>Hope O.L.A.F. is okay
>>There's no time to stop and extract him
>>...what with that monster ripping the mech apart and all
>>Past those construction materials
>>Where have Hans and Clone Elsa gone?
>>The Sven Rover rolls on
>>Clone Elsa is lying on the ground
>>She cries out for help as the rover passes her
>>She looks woozy
>>She reaches her hand out
>>Back up
>>Elsa can't just leave her
>>She's her
>>...kind of
>>Kristoff stops the rover
>>They pull Clone Elsa to her feet
>>Where did Hans go?
>>Clone Elsa says she blacked out when the EMP went off
>>She says something's changed inside her
>>She explains she had a conditioning chip in her brain
>>Rules to be followed
>>All part of the plan
>>What exactly was the plan
>>She says it doesn't matter now
>>Through with all that
>>No more rules
>>...If you say so
>>Go go go
>>Cutting it close
>>...we'll be fine
>>The rover reaches the bay doors
>>It's driving along inside the main facility now
>>They reach the Medical Bay
>>Anna's life support systems are still on and beeping
>>Thank goodness
>>Boom.


>>The entire facility shakes
>>Guess the ship is gone
>>Takes care of some problems at least
>>Ice monster destroyed
>>That's something
>>O.L.A.F. probably destroyed too
>>...don't think about that
>>We're all that's left
>>Did what we had to do
>>Anna still on life support though
>>All the other clones destroyed as well
>>Better not need them
>>Try not to think about that either
>>Elsa and Kristoff drag the lifeless clone into the medical bay
>>Hoist it onto an operating table
>>Initiate robotic surgery assistance
>>Slice into the clone
>>Yellow...
>>Had to take the one clone with a shriveled yellow heart
>>With teeth on it
>>Yellow tooth heart
>>What
>>Does it pump yellow blood?
>>...probably pumps teeth somehow
>>This is never going to work
>>Wish we'd taken another clone
>>...could really use another clone right about now
>>Movement by the doorway
>>Black haired Elsa
>>Oh.


>Clone Elsa steps into the medical bay
>She can see what's happened
>She looks determined
>She says she's willing to make the sacrifice
>To give her heart
>Elsa is too
>Clone Elsa says she knows
>...she's you, of course she knows
>...wait, does that even make sense? Whatever
>Elsa asks if she's sure
>Clone Elsa tells her that for first time in her existence she feels normal
>Like she could actually do something good
>...this is like, a 'moment' or something so I'm gonna wait outside
>...you do that Kristoff
>Clone Elsa slides onto the operating table
>...my own clone
>...imagine what could have been
>Neither one of them would ever have to be lonely
>They could hide out all day doing science things
>...when Anna get's too annoying
>Elsa reminds herself that this is all for Anna
>Clone Elsa's heart monitor rate is increasing
>Elsa grips her clone's hand
>Clone Elsa says she's glad they could know each other
>...me too
>The robotic surgery assistant is moving on its own now
>Running Tests on Anna
>Running Tests on Clone Elsa
>All good
>Apparently compatible
>...better be
>The automated assistant injects Clone Elsa
>She's going under
>This is it
>Elsa grips tighter, even as she can feel her clone's hand going lax
>Eyes are closed
>The beep of her heart rate is slowing
>She looks so peaceful
>Elsa can hardly watch as the robotic arms descend over Clone Elsa and Anna
>But she can't look away
>That whirring sound
>...maybe I could...
>It's quick
>...would she even want me to...
>Flatline
>...screw it
>Watching yourself die is strange.


>>Clone Elsa gave her life
>>Elsa comes out of the medical bay door
>>The sound of the surgery assistant is still whirring behind her
>>Operating on Anna
>>...saving Anna
>>Hope this all works
>>Nothing to do now but wait
>>Elsa walks down the hall
>>Past Kristoff
>>He's talking to his rover again
>>Elsa comes to a corridor in lockdown
>>Airlock blocking the way
>>She puts on her helmet and opens the door
>>Shattered window overlooking the facility courtyard
>>Wreckage everywhere
>>Wreckage from the facility
>>Wreckage from the ship
>>Wreckage from the Big Brother
>>...O.L.A.F.
>>...I wonder
>>Elsa stands at the window with a defiant look in her eyes
>>...need to get down there
>>She closes her eyes and steels herself
>>Decrease grav-suit weight
>>Leap
>>Screw gravity
>>Three-point-landing-into-bone-addling-crash
>>...that wasn't so bad... Ow
>>Debris is all around
>>Elsa makes her way over to what's left of the Big Brother mech
>>Step around blue goo pile
>>No prize for guessing what that used to be
>>...if the explosion took that thing down...
>>...guess there really were no survivors
>>...Anna had better pull through, or else it'll just be me and Kristoff
>>...together. on Mars. Forever.
>>And Martians, don't forget about them
>>Elsa pries open the damaged cockpit of the mech
>>There's O.L.A.F.
>>He seems okay, considering
>>He's not moving though
>>...what is this stuff leaking from him, milk?
>>...don't remember including 'Milk Powered' in the specs
>>...have you been tampering with yourself O.L.A.F.? Upgrading yourself?
>>...what else have you been doing
>>Elsa extracts the salvageable parts of O.L.A.F. and lugs them back into the facility
>>She enters her quarters
>>Looks like Clone Elsa wasted no time making herself at home
>>Strange-looking science-y objects all around the room
>>If only she were here to explain what they all were
>>...wonder if there's anything in here that would help repair O.L.A.F.
>>Worth a look.


>>What do we have here
>>Metal objects
>>Metal cylinders
>>Metal orbs
>>Vials
>>Vial of green elixir
>>Syringes
>>Syringe with blue stuff in it
>>Locker with food stuffs in it
>>Actual food
>>Bread
>>Carrots
>>Onions
>>...it's like a gourmet dinner compared to the space food we got...
>>...well that wont help O.L.A.F. but at least it helps me
>>...this is still my quarters, tools should all be in here
>>Elsa finds her tools
>>She looks over at O.L.A.F
>>Tears in her eyes
>>...maybe I shouldn't have cut open that onion
>>Elsa starts to repair O.L.A.F.
>>She plugs a power-cable from the wall into him
>>Let's see how it works
>>Turn on
>>"Hei. Mitt navn er O.L.A.F."
>>...that's progress
>>...wrong language though
>>Reboot
>>"Hello. My name is O.L.A.F"
>>There we go
>>Elsa asks O.L.A.F. if he knows what the letters of his name mean
>>"They mean you really wanted them to spell Olaf"
>>...yep, he'll be fine
>>...so, why is there milk leaking out of you
>>O.L.A.F. explains that it's coolant, needed for the extra systems he's installed
>>...what might those extra systems be
>>Elsa recounts to O.L.A.F. what's happened since the EMP went off
>>...so without you, the chip in my clone's head would still be working
>>...and she'd never have sacrificed herself for Anna
>>...so, you really did kind of save us, O.L.A.F.
>>Elsa continues repairing O.L.A.F.
>>His speech and memory systems seem okay, but he still can't move.
>>This could take while
>>Elsa calls up the facility's PA system from her desk-panel
>>"Kristoff, I'm going to be in my quarters repairing O.L.A.F. for a while. If..."
>>...if?
>>"...when Anna wakes up please come and get me."
>>Elsa works on O.L.A.F. for hours until there's a sound from the door-panel outside
>>Someone is coming in
>>Elsa powers down O.L.A.F. for the time being
>>...this had better be Kristoff coming to say Anna's awake and okay
>>...It'd be even better of it were Anna herself
>>The door slides open
>>Elsa's heart leaps
>>But it's not Anna
>>Or Kristoff.


>>The figure is in the doorway
>>...this had better be like, three Martians standing on each others' shoulders, I swear
>>The figure steps into the room
>>It's Hans
>>How is Hans alive
>>Didn't he die in the blast?
>>...now that I think about it, he was missing before the ship exploded
>>Must have hidden somewhere
>>Hans is upon Elsa before she can react
>>Wrestling her from her chair
>>Vials smash, Items go flying as she hits the desk
>>This is where an abundance of seemingly useless metal objects actually comes in handy
>>Elsa grabs an orb from the ground
>>Smash
>>Hans reels back for a second
>>He sees the potential weapons strewn on the floor
>>He scrambles for any object within his reach
>>...oh no you don't
>>Smack
>>He's frantic
>>He makes a dive for something, anything
>>He gets...
>>...a syringe
>>...fat lot of good that'll do him
>>...wait, ow
>>Hans desperately stabs the syringe into Elsa's neck
>>As he does, his thumb depresses the plunger
>>The swirling blue stuff inside it disappears into Elsa
>>Elsa begins to fall forward
>>The room is spinning
>>...why do I suddenly feel so cold
>>Her vision is swimming
>>...get up
>>She stumbles past Hans, trying to reach O.L.A.F.
>>It feels like there's ice radiating from her neck
>>Coursing through her veins
>>...what was in that syringe
>>...disregard, just get to O.L.A.F.
>>She manages to
>>Turn on
>>Hans is just watching this all unfold
>>O.L.A.F. comes online
>>He's facing away from the action
>>He's still plugged into the wall
>>Powering up
>>Please work
>>...help
>>"I still can't move"
>>Elsa collapses onto the floor
>>...couldn't succeed in saving them
>>She's fading into oblivion
>>...anyone
>>...could not succeed
>>...my eyes feel ice cold
>>...I couldn't fix O.L.A.F. in time
>>...I see ice over my vision
>>...couldn't save my own clone
>>...I'd swear ice was actually forming in front of me
>>...Kristoff...
>>...it's so cold now
>>...I couldn't even save myself
>>...Anna...
>>"Anna!"
>>Blackness.
