A/N: So, umm, I have like this unofficial pair I kinda think would probably fit for each other or maybe not, despite being from different franchises. That would be Elsa x Seto Kaiba of course, which sounds a bit strange probably, but I feel like they're opposite magnets with similar backstories. Both lost parents, both isolated themselves from society, but while Elsa opened herself to her emotions and family, Kaiba didn't and instead became a badass like he is in the anime. Also, he has dragons like the Blue Eyes White Dragon, which makes him number 1 and Elsa number 2 for me.
…
Yeah, let's just go on with the story, cause this opinion of mine is already strange enough. Enjoy!
PS: I don't own Disney's Frozen (but everyone already knew that). If I did, Frozen 2 would be free to watch for all the kids along with the shorts and the 1st movie during this outbreak to bring some joy for the children. :)
Chapter 17: Revelations
Unknown Location (somewhere in the Frozen universe)...
3rd POV
"Where the hell are they?" Hans thought to himself, as he was impatient like usual. For some time now ever since he had lost his mystical crystals, he had been left in the dark from the shadow group that called themselves the Peace Seekers, a group that had broken off of the original Organization with the aid of the Heartless. Their goal, as they had told Hans, was to seek all forms of magic that they deemed dangerous to them and the world. They claimed it was for peace and security, but Hans knew better.
Still, holding the cup of coffee he held in his hands warmed him up while he sat on the sofa in the library of the fortress, making him think back to how it all began for him being chosen by this group.
It had been an ordinary day for him, well not really ordinary actually, as he was still serving time for what had happened 7 years ago, when he had tried to kill Elsa and take over Arendelle for himself. He had been sent back to the Southern Isles and forbidden to enter Arendelle again, his father had punished him with community service and stripped him of all royal privileges, and he was forced to live as a commoner in his own kingdom. He had begged his dad and brothers for mercy, but they paid little attention to the man who disgraced their family name.
So, before all this, he had spent his days in bars drinking his sorrows out, cursing Elsa and Anna for his fate and his possible depression that he felt on some days. He also got in fights a lot, where the number of times he got beat up made his rage stronger and increased his obsession to exact revenge on Elsa.
So how did he meet the group? Well, he was working in the shipyards at the Southern Isles as a crewmate, loading supplies onto ships and working the deck when he had been approached by a mysterious figure dressed in a dark black robe that didn't reveal anything about himself, only asking how his hatred was for Elsa.
Hans was a bit shocked, asking how the man knew, only for the man to reply that he knew a lot about the disgraced Southern Isles prince, especially how he spent his days drinking and getting into fights to vent his anger on. He had then offered a chance for Hans to get his title back and revenge as well, if he would join their cause as he was seen with potentiality in his own dark way. The prince had quickly agreed, and had been instantly teleported to a fortress that he didn't know existed in the first place.
The only thing he knew was that there was a force of dark magic that emanated off this place, the presence at first sickening him before the man in the dark robes used his powers to make Hans get used to the presence. At first, he had placed Hans into studying dark magic for about a year for the prince to familiarize with the principles of the negative mystical energy. Then, after he had completed his training, he had taken Hans into a chamber room with some other people in robes, where they had done an initiation to indoctrinate him into the Peace Keepers before offering him his robes and set of mystical crystals to manipulate with the force of dark magic.
When he had received his set of crystals and robes, Hans had never felt more alive than before. With the crystals that harnessed the power of Atohallan to teleport at will with dark magic, and the robes to protect him from any source of light magic, he could now carry out his revenge against Elsa and eliminate her once for all. Perhaps even take Arendelle for himself and eliminate Anna as well along with the rest of the family.
But it hadn't been easy at first, as the shadow man who had then introduced himself as Darius then told Hans to wait patiently for the right time of attack, sending Hans to spy on Elsa and the Enchanted Forest to test his patience. Had he failed, he would have been eliminated at the first chance that Hans had tried to kill Elsa. It would not be personal, but they needed a moment of vulnerability to then strike the forest with critical damage, which made Hans reluctantly agree to this proposal.
Since Elsa had then emerged as the 5th spirit and guardian of the Enchanted Forest, Hans studied her powers and weaknesses along with the other spirits, relaying information to Darius and the rest of the Peace Keepers. Darius had then passed this information to the Superior, who Hans hadn't met yet, and whatever order was given, Darius carried out with the Peace Keepers by his side. Of course, it was normally to use some forces of dark magic to weaken Atohallan over the time without the attention of the elemental spirits, but the planned attack wasn't to take place until the forest was at least unoccupied by any of the spirits or at least protected by one while the rest would be distracted by something.
And then, after a year of intense plan making, they found the right moment to strike the forest when Elsa had left for Arendelle with Nokk, Bruni, and Gale by her side. Hans had passed the information to Darius, who had then announced that the moment to attack was perfect for them as the Superior had predicted for them. They had initiated the attack and everything was coming along perfectly, but of course, Hans messed everything up when he dropped his set of mystical crystals, known as the Beacons, after Elsa had attacked him when he tried to kill her with the dark magic given to him along with the Heartless.
Then, to make things worse for him, before he had a chance to get back into the fight, Darius had then come along to "save him" from being captured by the 5th spirit, even though Hans thought that was a lie and was simply to exclude him as he had dropped the Beacons he was given. But the news worsened when he learned from Darius that Elsa had used the Beacons without knowing what they were, and that they teleported her and 3 of the other elemental spirits to another dimension that took place in the future. Then Darius and his associates, after reprimanding Hans for his careless actions, went after Elsa to kill her while leaving Hans behind as a sort of punishment for him.
Hans thought it was unfair, but he couldn't complain about it. He had already messed up too much and was so close in eliminating Elsa than the other time when she had frozen Arendelle and he had tried to stab her with his sword, only for that annoying Anna to come and save her sister in the nick of time. He was still pissed about that moment, but now he was pissed about his failed attempt in eliminating Elsa at the Enchanted Forest. Still, at least he knew how strong she was now so that the next time he could face her, he would be better prepared.
Drinking from the cup of coffee, his thoughts went to how he overheard Yerna and Garrett, two of the other shadow members that participated in the Enchanted Forest attack, that Elsa was somewhere in a place called Oregon with someone named Alexander. To be honest, he didn't know what an Oregon was, but from what he heard about this Alexander was that this strange unknown guy was helping Elsa from the Peace Keepers and that the Peace Keepers were currently planning on figuring out how to make this Alexander betray Elsa to them. Not only that, but that the Peace Keepers were looking for an artifact that could put their plans to a halt.
Still, whenever he tried to get involved now in their meetings and learn more, it seemed like they didn't want Hans involved, shutting the doors and locking him out, which angered him. He tried eavesdropping, but that didn't work for him as well. And the thought of dropping out after being with these guys for about 2 years now was no chance, as he was practically a fugitive in his home kingdom and he didn't want to go to prison for the rest of his life.
Hans' grip on the cup tightened, the metal cup slowly crushing in his hands.
And then came the thought of how Darius had claimed to the rest of the Peace Keepers that the Superior was himself considering to oversee things himself for preparation of the arrival of the "Great Beast." Hans didn't know what this meant, but it certainly didn't sound good at all. Sure, he wanted Elsa dead, but from what he had gathered, the Peace Keepers not only wanted Elsa dead along with the elemental spirits, they wanted to take over Arendelle as well for whatever evil purpose they needed for this "Great Beast," which was a rival to that of Atohallan.
And he didn't like that plan.
Perhaps they sensed that he wasn't on board, which was why they haven't included him these past 4 months in their plans, and now it was the middle of June and he didn't even had the latest clue about who the Superior was, what the Peace Keepers were truly planning, and why they haven't included him in their plans at all.
"Damn it!" He threw the cup against the wall, the hot beverage spilling across the floor as he marched in his dark robes towards the main chamber halls, slamming the doors open as he walked towards the meeting room, throwing open the doors to see an unsurprised Darius who was currently reading a book on methods of secret dark magic that were considered painful to one's emotions. "Why am I here?"
"Hmm?" Darius looked up from his book, the man with grey hair scratching his short black beard with an evil smile. "Ah Hans. I thought you knew why you were here in the first place, did you not?"
Hans slammed his hands against the table, fuming with anger. "You promised me that I would have my revenge against Elsa, but ever since my failed attempt, you have excluded me from any involvement in your meetings, any of your missions, and anything else at all. Now all you make me do is study the dark magic more and practice using the Heartless for my targets, but I don't even feel like I'm a part of this group anymore."
Darius chuckled in an evil manner, placing the book that he was reading down on the table and folding his hands together. "Look Hans, let me explain things in a simple manner. Ever since you, how I say this in a way to not offend you, messed things up in the Enchanted Forest, I realized you're not truly ready to try to confront Elsa head on with your own magic energy that you learned from the ancient books. Even if you think you're ready, your performance was so poor that it almost cost your life had it been a few seconds that I arrived too late to help you."
"Poor?! I was so close to killing her until you came in and took my chance of revenge away!" Hans had replied in a loud angered tone to Darius, only to glare angrily at Darius when the shadow leader simply chuckled at him like he was a boy throwing a tantrum. Perhaps he was acting like one, but he didn't care at the moment. "And besides, why are you not inviting me to your meetings anymore?"
Darius sighed, rubbing his forehead in a stressful manner. "Look Hans, I saved you and you should be grateful for that. If you knew me well, you would have known that I normally don't save my fellow associates unless they have a purpose for our mission, which is to bring peace by eliminating the sources of magic and anyone who uses them. Of course, it's ironic since we use dark magic ourselves, but you have to fight fire with fire right? Besides, the Superior wants for us to defeat as well our rival the Organization after we're done with the Enchanted Forest and Arendelle."
"For what exactly?" Hans asked, Darius standing up and turning around to face the window behind him.
"That's none of your concern yet. You may be one of us, but you haven't proved your worth truly yet to our cause. When the Superior arrives next month, he will see if you are worthy of knowing the darkest secrets yet to reveal for you. But don't worry, you will have your revenge as promised. I assure you Hans."
Before Hans could reply, the doors behind him opened as one of the Peace Keepers, Yerna, came in, the hooded figure coming in and bowing before Darius on one knee. "Lord Darius, I bring you news from the other dimension from our sources."
Darius nodded, turning around and motioning for Hans to leave his study. "Leave us Hans. This doesn't concern you at the moment. You may come back when you are calmer and think things over more clearly."
Hans wanted to object, but sighed in defeat, simply bowing his head and leaving the room with closing the door. But as he did, he didn't leave, but instead pressed his ear against the door, listening to the secret conversation on the other side of the door.
"What news have you brought Yerna?"
"Garrett has found some useful information about the person who is sheltering Elsa from us. He has a family and a younger sister that could be helpful in using them as bait for forcing him to hand over the 5th spirit to us, but there's something odd about the case in which he lost his younger brother Erick when they were attacked by a gang who wanted to rob them."
"What about it?"
"Well, there's hardly any information, but there's little to nothing about it, only that his little brother died protecting him when one of the gang members tried to shoot him. Then, everything else is clearly blanked out, like someone erased the case details afterwards."
"Well, that's nothing special. At least we now know that Alex has parents and a younger sister he must care a lot about, and if we take them hostage, he will surely do whatever it costs to save his family. Even if it means to betray Elsa."
A snicker came from the other side. "Then, after she's eliminated along with the other spirits, we will move into destroying the Enchanted Forest and destroy Arendelle, before moving onto the other kingdoms and realms to destroy the other princesses and other people who possess magical abilities to prepare the coming of the "Great Beast."
Darius could be heard chuckling in an evil manner. "Not even Sora and his friends nor even the Organization themselves will stop us. All the fairy tales of light magic will soon be gone from the world, and the Superior will finally have the chance to remake the world in his own image. Our dream will soon be a reality. Mwahaha!"
Hans was shocked at hearing this. Well, he was a little bit shocked actually, but the idea of his own kingdom perhaps being targeted made him angry. Sure, he might have enjoyed the thought if he was truly evil, but he still had a soft side inside his cold heart for his family. They may have been jerks to him, but his brothers and father didn't deserve to go through this. Besides, Arendelle was supposed to be given to him after they eliminated Elsa and her family, but now they were talking about leaving nothing of Arendelle to even rule at all.
Perhaps they were just using him as a pawn because he knew a lot about Arendelle in the first place when he had traveled there for the coronation of Elsa in the 1st place. He had to face the ugly truth. These people were using dark sorcery for a darker purpose and were planning global domination and wiping out any source of light magic that stood in their way. But Hans wasn't like them. Sure, he might have already dug the hole deep enough that he got himself into, but perhaps there could be a chance to get out still while he could. So he decided to do the one thing that he knew he was going to hate himself for even doing in the 1st place, but silently hoped that perhaps his family could forgive him for possible redemption.
He was going to betray the Peace Keepers and find a way to help Elsa and the other kingdoms from this dark fate that loomed in the distance. Hopefully, he could ignore his inner instincts for revenge and focus on perhaps working with the enemy, in his case Elsa, by finding her and acquiring a new set of Beacons without Darius' notice and bring her home as soon as he knew where she was along with the other spirits. And with that strange artifact that was in the strange place called Oregon, restore peace and defeat the Peace Keepers from acquiring their goals.
As he walked away, the Southern Isles prince began planning his next move, but first, he needed to contact someone vital to inform them while he would now spy on these guys. Someone he also disliked as well, but thought could help him in this situation.
"Anna."

Right outside on the fjord of Arendelle…
"Oof!" Sora exclaimed as he was teleported onto the ground, Goofy and Donald following right behind him landing on him as the boy rubbed his head painfully while standing up. "I really need to make sure to know where we land next time."
"Right Sora!" Goofy agreed, standing up and dusting himself off while looking around before scratching his head in a confusing manner. "Umm Sora?"
"Yeah Goofy?"
"Haven't we been here before?"
Sora looked around while Donald stood up as well with Goofy's help, seeming confused before his eyes realized where they were and sighing in a bit of annoyance.
"Yep. Here we go again."
A/N: Chapter 17 concluded. And now we have KH characters included in this fanfic. This chapter was to focus on why Hans joined the bad guys, but now must decide to betray them to save his own kingdom and Elsa, even though he doesn't like it. Like the old saying, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Next chapter will go back to Alex spending a day with his family while Elsa joins in and learns some funny stuff about Alex as well as some sad stuff as well. Who knows what else could happen in the next chapter?
Anyways, leave a like and review on what you thought, if you're kinda excited about what the future holds for our characters. Will the Peace Keepers succeed in their goal or will Alex get Elsa back home sooner than expected to stop their evil goals with possible aid from the KH characters and the rest of the Frozen characters? The mystery will grow… Until next time folks! :)
Also, side note, it does sound pretty strange to ship Seto Kaiba with Elsa since people ship him with Atem/Yugi or Kisara already, but I think that they are a bit similar to each other, just that Kaiba has cool dragons and Elsa doesn't… Give Elsa an ice dragon for Frozen 3 and Disney can have my money XD… Aight I'm done now… Cya...
