Part One
Sora stood before Master Yen Sid, moving anxiously from one foot to the other, Riku and Axel standing beside him. Master Yen Sid had been deep in thought from what Sora had told him. He soon turned his attention to Sora, causing Sora to stop fidgeting and standing completely still.
"While it is unusual.. I am indeed concerned but what you had told me.." said Yen Sid after a moment.
"I just.. I don't know what it could MEAN.." Sora frowned. "I mean.. It's been at least a YEAR now so I can't figure out why I'm feeling like something is going to happen."
"And you're sure it has to do with the organization?" asked Riku.
"Yes..! Well.. Kinda.." Sora started, a bit unsure. "We still haven't found out what happened to Maleficent.. I hadn't seen her or Pete while we faced against Xehanort.! What if they somehow came BACK?"
"While it may be unknown of what occurred after the battle," said Yen Sid. "I myself can sense that something is amiss.. In one of the worlds.. There has been a disturbance.."
"I KNEW it!" Sora said. "Which ONE? How long has it been? I need to tell Donald and Goofy!"
Yen Sid raised a hand up to silence him, Sora quickly complying.
"I know you might may have many questions.. But I am afraid Donald the Magician and Captain Goofy will not be accompanying you on your journey."
Sora was taken aback in shock.
"W-what?" Sora stammered.
"The two are currently on a mission with King Mickey to investigate the unexpected return of darkness overtaking many of the worlds.." answered Mast Yen Sid. "But I assure you, you will not be on your journey alone."
"Huh? What.. Do you mean?" asked Sora, confused.
"I believe Riku and Lea have sufficient training to join on your quest."
Axel made a slight face at the use of his 'old' name, but remained silent.
"So, in order to find out what's going on," Riku started. "We're going with Sora?"
Yen Sid nodded in response.
"So, where's the place we're going anyway?" asked Axel.
"It is a place that Sora has visited not long ago.." Yen Sid replied. "Where the true power of light and act of true love drove back the darkness."
Sora thought about it for a moment before his eyes grew wide.
"Arendelle!"
Yen Sid nodded.
"Wait, you mean the world that was eternally cold?" asked Axel. "But snow and ice aren't my thing.."
"Well, it's not like that anymore," Sora assured him. "We've stopped eternal winter from happening."
"Then, if that's the case.." began Riku. "What could be happening there.."
"That's what WE'RE gonna find out." Sora replied.
He soon turned to Yen Sid and smiled.
"You can count on us!"
Riku nodded and Axel, while still a bit unsure nodded as well. Yen Sid returned the nod.
"Very good.. I hope the three of you have a safe journey.." he said, before adding. "May your heart be your guiding key."
"You GOT it!" Sora grinned.
With that said, Sora, Riku, and Axel soon made their way to the Gummi Ship. As they got aboard the ship, Sora set the coordinates and smiled.
"Arendelle, here we COME!"

Elsa gazed out the window at the sprawling kingdom that was Arendelle. After hesitating for a moment, she moved closer toward the window, drawing open the massive glass panes, flooding the room with warmth of the warm summer breeze and the sounds of the kingdom. Elsa couldn't help but smile as she took in the warm fresh air while she stood near the window. She still could not believe it had been a year since her coronation and the accidental cause of eternal winter. While she still felt guilty for what she had caused, her sister as well as her subjects continuously assured her everything would be alright.
She was suddenly jolted from her thoughts as she heard the door to her room suddenly swing open.
"Hey Elsa!" Anna grinned, as she practically bounded into the room. "Can you believe it's been a whole YEAR since the summer-"
"Yes.. I-I know.." Elsa interrupted. "And in any case, what are you doing in my chambers?"
Anna pursed her lips at the formal tone in her sister's voice.
"Elsa, just because you're queen now, doesn't MEAN you have to sound so.. So.." Anna trailed off, trying to think of the right word.
"Formal?" asked Elsa, smiling a little.
Soon, she sighed.
"I'm sorry, Anna.. It's just.. Being the queen.. It has certain rules that need to be followed.."
"So, acting all.. Well.. Like that.. Is the best way to be queen?"
Elsa turned away.
"I'm sorry Anna.." she sighed. "I just.. What if I'm not as good of a queen as everyone wants me to be?"
Anna looked at her sister with a concerned look before she walked over and gave her a tight hug.
"I'm sure you'll be a GREAT queen, Elsa.." she smiled. "You just need to believe you CAN be."
Elsa smiled as she hugged her younger sister, soon turning back toward the window. It was at that moment that she noticed it had begun to get unusually dark. The sisters watched a bit curiously as they saw what seemed to be dark storm clouds moving inland from the open sea.
"I wasn't aware it was going to rain.." Elsa frowned.
"Neither did I," Anna frowned. "I thought it was supposed to be sunny today.."
The duo continued to watch in growing shock and confusion as the foreboding black rain clouds filled the sky. The sisters were suddenly caught off guard as the air became unnaturally cold, the wind now buffering at the windows, causing them to slam against the window panes. Elsa's eyes grew wide as she caught sight the bright green lightning that split the sky. Outside, the panic was almost immediate as everyone in the vicinity began to run for cover as a heavy and freezing rain began to pound against the stone streets and buildings.
"Anna.. Gather the guards and tell them to get everyone indoors and make sure they stay away from the windows and doors.."
"What about YOU?" asked Anna, trying to be heard over the roar of the wind.
"I'll be FINE! Just make sure everyone ELSE is OKAY!"
Anna hesitated but soon nodded and hurried out of the room, leaving Elsa to stare out into the growing storm.
"It can't be.."
She was shoved back as a sudden blast of icy wind that knocked her off her feet. Elsa stared on in horror as the freezing wind gusted and blew into the room, sending flakes of snow and ice into the room. Elsa watched in morbid fascination as she saw the walls, ceiling, and floor becoming coated in a fine layer of ice, as thin and delicate as glass. Elsa quickly stood up and hurried out of the room as long and sharp icicles began to grow from the ceiling and floor of the room.

The trio was just coming into land when Sora caught a glimpse of the dark and foreboding rainclouds that had taken form overhead. Strong and heavy wind buffered against the sides of the Gummi Ship causing it to shake and shudder as it became difficult to remain steady.
"Hang ON!"
Sora took hold of the controls and fought to keep the ship steady. Riku and Axel stared on in shock as they noticed the storm clouds becoming thicker and a heavy rain pounding against the ship and the glass window of the cockpit. All three of them jumped as a bright flash of green lightning lit up the inky black sky with a blinding flash. Sora looked all around him in shock but his eyes soon went wide as he noticed a thin layer of ice beginning to form along the front of the ship and began to coat the glass cockpit.
"No.." Sora whispered.
He felt the ship suddenly jolt as another surge of green lightning struck the side of the ship. As the surge ended, there was a loud alarm that began to ring throughout the ship before the ship lost power and began to plummet toward the ice and snow covered ground.
