The Ice Princess

The Ice Kingdom to the north of Gaia is a cold place where daylight only last for six hours. In this kingdom lies a pure white castle on top of a steep cliff. Inside the castle a conference was being held by the king, advisers, and the General.
"I trust you know why you're all here." said the king.
"Yes I heard, Lord Bryan Kiss was kidnapped." said the General.
"I will now take suggestions for dealing with the situation." said the king.
"We should take action." said the first adviser.
"Are you serious? One life isn't worth going to war for." said the second adviser.
"But we're already at war with Tech Org, and your forgetting that Lord Bryan isn't just any life."
"The princess can suffer a little sadness if it means not needlessly wasting life."
"And what? Let Tech Org keep bullying us? Not to mention that their ransom is too high, we can't change a law every time someone is kidnapped."
"I'm not saying we should change the law, but we can't send an army just for one life."
"That's enough, I've made my decision." said the king. Just then the large doors opened and Wolfess and Tasu came in. "Good, you're here, sit." Wolfess and Taus sat down. "As I was saying, Bryan may be a single person, but he's family. We can't just forget about him just because of a little fear for Tech Org. They have been pushing us for a battle, I say we give it to them. Today is the day we show Tech Org that shouldn't have mess with the Ice kingdom. We're going to take Lord Bryan back. Any objections?"
"No, my liege." said the second adviser.
"So we're really going to get him back?" asked Wolfess.
"We'll do our best." said the General.
"Have you formulated a plan?" asked the King.
"Yes I have, we will attack at nightfall..."
After the General finished discussing his plan, Tasu stood up and said: "I'm ready father, I'll fight too."
"So will I." said Wolfess.
"No, you two stay back and take care of the castle, we can't afford to loose you." said the King.
"I can't stay, I have to see Bryan..." said Wolfess.
The king then put his hand on Wolfess shoulder. "We'll get him back, you stay here and tend to your duties in my absence." he said. That night The King and General were getting ready to leave with an army of white armored soldiers.
"You sure you don't need me father?" asked Tasu.
"Stay here, if something happens to me, Wolfess will need help to run the kingdom." said the King.
"All right I'll stay father, go get em'."
"Bye father, may you return safely." said Wolfess. The King and General both left on horses while the soldiers went on foot.
"Don't worry, father won't let anything happen to the future king of the Ice Kingdom." said Tasu.
"I'm sure your right." said Wolfess. The two went inside the castle. Wolfess went to her room while Tasu took a walk in the castle.
"It sure is empty with only a few guards left." he said. Tasu walked into the throne room where only four guards were posted. Tasu stared at the throne and thought: "It sure would be nice..."
"Do you need anything prince?" asked a guard.
"No I'm good." As Tasu began to walk away, the lights went off, leaving only the dim moonlight outside.
"It's probably just a power failure, I'll go check it out." said a guard. The guard walked away, and the clinking sound of his armor faded as he went farther, until it was quiet again. Then Tausu heard the sound of metal clashing together. Tasu turned to look.
"What is it prince" asked a guard. "...ugh!"
"ga!"
"Oog!"
"What's going on?!" asked Tasu. No answer. Then Tasu heard a sound behind him. He looked and saw a black figure with two swords. "Who's there... Kairu?". The figure walked closer. "Your not Kairu... who are you and what did you do to the guards?"
"For the time being, call me Kairu. As for the guards, I've silenced them."
"I see, you must work for Tech Org. Alright 'Kairu' you came for a fight? You've found it!" Tasu unwrapped his chain from his arm and took an attack stance.
"Let's see if you can spot me." Kairu began moving swiftly around the throne room.
"I don't need to. See these ears? You can't move without me hearing it!" Tasu swung his chain towards Kairu several times, but he dodged them each time. Kairu ran towards Tasu with his two swords held in front. Then Tasu flew into the air to dodge. Kairu then jumped up to follow. Kairu swung his sword towards Tasu, but Tasu blocked it with his chain then wrapped it and pulled it from Kairu. While Kairu's hand was still near his sword, he gave this blue energy which ran through the sword and electrocuted Tasu. Tasu screamed as he fell to the floor.
"You shouldn't try to block my attacks." said Kairu.
"I'll keep that in mind, but at least I left you with just one sword."
"I'll only need one to defeat you." Kairu clutched his sword with both hands and enveloped it in electrical energy which lit up the room. "Now die!" Kairu unleashed powerful volts of electricity which bounced in every direction in the room. Tasu flew out trough the window while randomly dodging the volts.
"I can't believe they all missed me." Then a volt shot trough the window and just barely missed Tasu. "Who is this guy?" said Tasu.
"I told you, I'm Kairu." Kairu appeared on the ledge.
"Okay, I'll buy that you happen to have the same name as Kairu and you kind of look alike. But you won't beat me! You're just a fake Kairu!"
"I won't have to do anything now."
"Huh?..." A blaster shot from behind Tasu and hit him in the back. With a surprised look on his face Tasu fell unconscious.
"Now for the princess." Outside Ravenne, Conren, and the real Kairu were walking towards the castle.
"That train ride was too long." said Conren.
"Well, we're here. There's the castle, up that cliff." said Ravenne. Kairu and Ravenne flew up the cliff.
"Hey guys I can't fly!" yelled Conren.
"Oh right, no wings. We're used to hanging out with people with wings..." said Kairu. Ravenne and Kairu picked up Conren and flew him up the cliff. When they came to the top they saw the castle surrounded by machines.
"Uh-oh, they're here." said Ravenne. Kairu looked intently.
"So this is Tech Org?" Asked Conren.
"That's right, and I can't wait to get my hands on them." said Kairu.
"Looks like you're about to!" said Ravenne when she spotted a machine walking towards them.
"Alright time for action!" Kairu flew towards the machine. The machine then shot Kairu in the wing bringing him down. "What, they're more accurate." he said. With the distraction Ravenne went behind the machine and kicked it as hard as she could, but only hurt herself.
"Ow, tough." she said. The machine then shot coils from its arms and wrapped Kairu and Ravenne.
"Looks like I'll have to step in." Conren reached into his pocket but was captured by a robot behind him. "Stupid coils." The three heroes where taken prisoner by the robots and brought inside the castle.
Wolfess was in her room when she woke up. Wolfess tried to turn on the lights when she saw they wouldn't work. She went outside her room and saw only darkness. She called "Hello, any one here? Guards? Tasu?" but there was no answer.
"None of them can help you now."
"Whose there?" Fake Kairu emerged from the darkness.
"Are you some kind of assassin?"
"Of sorts, but I'm only here to capture you."
"I see, well you won't get me without a fight!" Wolfess clutched her parasol tightly.
"Do you care about Tasu?"
"..."
"Do what I say or you'll never see him again." Two robots apeared at each side of Wolfess to escort her.
Wolfess sighed "alright."
