Author's Note: Sorry that I haven't updated in a while. Been sick with a nasty cold and while it's not as bad as it was last week, I still have it but at least the coughing doesn't occure as much. *Cough*. Just wish I was back to normal right now, though. Anyway, here's world No.3!...And I still suck at battles.

I don't own Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy.

CH9: Snow in Summer?

{Arendelle}

The new world that Sora and his friends had landed in was covered in snow, from a kingdom to all parts surrounding it. When the sixteen worldly travellers disembarked from the gummiship and were teleported into a forest where the snow was nearly an ankle deep, it was like they entered a winter wonderland. For those who haven't seen it outside Radiant Garden before, it was a beautiful sight.

Roxas and Xion marveled on the breath taking sight all around them.

"Whoa!" Roxas breathed.

"This is so beautiful...how does this even happen in places like this?" Xion asked, scooping up a small clump of snow in her gloved hand and gazed it even as it began to melt due to the heat of the palm of her hand.

"Freezing tempretures, guys." Lea said with a fond smile. "Radiant Garden ain't the only place that has winter. It's more amazing on hills and in forests."

"Yeah, even we have snow, believe or not, on the islands. It makes our play island turn into Christmas Land." Riku chuckled, only to be smacked in the side of his face by a snow-ball, startling him as the coldness trickled down his neck. He whirled around to see who did it, only to have another one land squarely right in his face. "Hey!"

Sora snickered as he tossed and catched a snowball in his hand that he no doubt made, while Kairi giggled, humming innocently. Almost everyone else just either chuckled or laughed or just smirked.

As for Myde, he was shivering violently as he hugged himself due to not wearing a jacket, his teeth chittering. "Y-Yeah, yeah. Even Kairi can cope with the cold, but I'm f-f-f-f-freezing here!" He shuddered.

"Yeah, it is really cold, isn't it?" Kairi agreed as she shuddered, rubbing her arms, but still held a smile when Riku payed Sora back by smacking a snowball of his own into the spiky-haired teen's face.

Luckly, both Xion and Lea took off their coats and given them to Kairi and Aqua once more to keep them a bit more warmer, in which the two young woman thanked their friends. When Myde looked at Isa hopefully, the blue-haired man looked at him with a skeptical incredulous look.

"Um...can I burrow-?" Myde gestured at Isa's coat.

"Forget it." Isa rolled his eyes.

"Aw, c'mon! Xion and Axel gave their coats to Kairi and Aqua!" Myde whined.

"That's because you at least have pants." Isa pointed out.

"Hey, what do you mean by that?" Donald asked as he stormed up to him, glaring.

"I think we should find a place to find warm winter clothes." Goofy suggested.

"No argument there, mate." Jack agreed, before quickly saying to Myde when the former Nobody gazed at him hopefully, "You're not getting my coat either."

"I'd help Myde, but mine's too small for you." Roxas shrugged apologetically.

Suddenly, a girl's scream filled the chilly air. When everyone turned to see where it was coming from, their eyes widened as a young woman, about very close to her early twenties with brown-ginger hair and blue eyes, wearing apparently a summer dress was running from three Snow-Man like Heartless.

The group quickly took action as Aqua leaped up and over the girl before she summoned Eraqus' Keyblade and slashed at one of the Heartless into oblivion, before quickly destroying the other two with a double slash. She found it surprisingly easy while wearing Lea's former Organization coat. Once this was done, she dismissed it and turned to the girl who stared at her in awe, while Sora and the rest of the group approached.

"Are you alright?" Aqua asked, as she approached the woman.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Thank you for saving me. That was...absolutely amazing what you did to those monsters!" The woman said, happily.

"You're welcome. My name is Aqua." Aqua replied, before introducing her friends to the girl as the said group gave their friendly and kind hellos.

"Nice to meet all of you. I'm Anna." Anna responded, before her expression became that of slight worry and slight hope, "Say, have any of you seen a girl pass here? Long dress, white hair...who was making all of this snow appear from her magic?"

"Come again?" Jack asked, blinking in confusion.

"Queen maybe?"

"No. It's just you. Sorry." Sora shrugged, before realising what else Anna said and asked, "Hold on...did you say she was using magic to...make snow?"

That got everyone else's attentions as well as they all glanced at each other, stunned and utterly confused. So it wasn't actually winter yet? And even more so, the Queen of this world was able to do this?

"I only found out today, to be honest." Anna nodded, while disappointed that there was no sign of the woman she was looking for. "See, she's my older sister, Elsa, and today was her Coronation Day to be Queen, and long story short. Anyway, We got into an argument and it was all my fault, and then she started...to make snow with magic that she never told me about...on the other hand, it wouldn't have happened if she told me her secret. She's a stinker."

"And you're looking for her because..." Isa began, already having an idea on where this was going.

Anna sighed, "Like I said. We got into a fight, and because of the magic, she got scared and ran away. Some people think she's a monster, but I know better. That's why I left my future husband Hans to watch over the kingdom Arendelle while I went out to find her and make up for this mess." shuddering as the chill in the air hit her slightly.

"Hmmm...Sounds to me like Elsa doesn't know how to control her powers of ice, and that's why it's snowin' right now." Mickey correctly theoried in concern.

"I know, right? And in the middle of summer too!" Anna added with a nod, before grumbling, "Snow...It had to be snow, didn't it? She could've had tr-tr-tropical magic that covered fjords in white sand and palm trees."

Seeing how Anna was shivering, Isa sighed before finally taking off his own coat, revealing his clothes that he'd been wearing underneath for the entire time; a blue shirt with bottons, a black vest, black cotton sweat pants, blue shoes and a solder belt with a blue belt buckle, and handed his coat to Anna, drooping it over her shoulders to keep her a little bit warm for the time being.

"Oh! Uh, thanks." Anna said.

"Hey, no fair! How come she gets the coat and you didn't even borther giving it to me!?" Myde groaned, pouting.

"One, because she's a princess, and two, because I felt like it." Isa answered. "And anyway, what happened to yours?"

"All of my coats were either burn't to crisp or stolen and I lost the one that was wearing before I met up with you guys." Myde replied.

"You could always ask Jack to burrow his 'till we find some warm clothes. Besides, it has to at least be better than having all of Dilan's clothes, right?" Lea teased, while mentally feeling bad for having stolen Demyx's last coat from the laundry room when he was Axel a year ago.

"Ewww." The younger man cringed at the very thoughts.

"Do you want this, then?" Anna offered, about to take the coat off and give it to Myde.

The blonde-haired young man shook his head, "Nah, you have it. You got offered first. Plus, like Isa said, you're a princess. I'd feel like a jerk to take it from you, or Kairi or Aqua."

"Hey, I think I see fire over there." Ven suddenly spoke up, pointing at smoke from the right of the group. When everyone else turned to see, they immediate knew that he was right.

"Well, at least it's a start. Let's check it out." Skuld suggested.

While the group, joined by Anna, ventured to the origins of the smoke, Terra couldn't help but think of what Anna had told them about her older sister, Elsa, and the concerns he felt. Mickey was right. Elsa had no control over her powers that made ice and snow, and it reminded him of when he had no control over the power of darkness in his heart and how it unfortunately reminded him of how Xehanort used this to his advantage. While Terra knew that Riku was probably thinking the same way, he was relieved that his young successor had not only succeeded in conjouring the darkness as well as getting his heart and body back, but was also made a Keyblade Master as well. Still, he knew that Elsa was most likely scared and wanted to isolate herself from everything and everyone because of her magic.

He just hoped that she would get it under control soon.

When they arrived the small hut like place after passing the stream and fighting more Heartless while protecting Anna along the way, Roxas read the sign of the place aloud, "Wandering Oaken's Trading Post."

"Oh! And Sauna!" Anna read the other sign.

"There wouldn't happen to be any rum here too, would there?" Jack asked, hopefully.

"What is it with you and rum?" Donald rolled his eyes.

"Come on, guys." Sora gestured.

The group walked in through the door and were greeted by a voice at the counter, "Hoo-hoo! Big summer blowout! Half off swimming suits, clogs, and a sun balm of my own invention, ja?" as they turned to a man behind it, with an accent.

Everyone else just stared a little blankly, before Anna spoke up, "Oh...great. For now, um, how about boots? Winter boots? A-And dresses?"

"And warm pants and coats?" Myde added, his skin starting to become blue due to the freezing tempretures outside.

"That would be in our winter department." The man pointed at the counter to the group's right, where there were at least enough winter gear for all seventeen of them.

"Oh yeah...come to papa!" Myde gleed, rushing over and immediately covered himself from head to foot in winter gear of boots, warm pants, a warm jacket, and for good measure, a scarf and a beanie, before paying for his clothes which was surprisingly cheap. "Dude, you're a life-saver!"

Sora and the rest of the group and Anna gathered their own winter gear and payed for the clothes while having taken some privicy to change into them, most of them wearing winter pants and jackets. Xion only brought herself warmer pants since her jumper kept her warm, and Jack got himself a jumper to put underneath his leather brown coat. It was a strange feeling to be wearing another world's clothes, but since he was freezing, he didn't care. Even Donald resorted in wearing boots and pants.

After Anna put on her new winter dress and boots and outfit, she then asked the owner, "Um, I was just wondering, has another young woman-the Queen perhaps, I don't know-passed through here?"

"And while on the subject, did you happen to notice a tall guy wearing a yellow-ish coat wearing a bear mask?" Sora added, deciding that maybe Aced might be here with Yen Sid, Angeal and Genesis.

"Only ones crazy enough to be out in this storm is all of you." The man replied, just as the door opened and another young man entered...completely covered in snow. "And...this fellow?"

"He looks like an Abominble snowman." Myde commented.

"...I don't even want to know what that is." Jack shook his head, slightly exasperated.

"Abominble snowman?" Roxas asked, confused. Xion looked equally puzzled, as did Skuld and Ven.

"Just some dumb superstition. Stories say that it's a monster that lives in cold snowy places. It has other names actually." Lea shrugged, "Like the Yeti, Sasquash, and even Bigfoot."

"That sounds silly." Skuld thought.

The young man, named Kristoff, approached and next to the group, muttering as he shook the snow off of himself revealing his winter gear, "Carrots."

"Huh?" Anna blinked, confused.

"Behind you."

Realising what he meant, Anna nodded and excused herself while stepping aside so that Kristoff could get the carrots before he placed them onto the counter, while the owner of the place commented, "Oooh, a real howler in July, yah? Wherever could it be coming from?"

"North Mountain." Kristoff responded, which instantly made Anna's eyes widen, as did it surprise Sora and his friends. North Mountain? That could only mean one thing...

That was where Anna's sister Elsa went to. It must've been.

After he got what he needed, Kristoff was about to pay for the supplies when the owner answered his unasked question on how much it would be, "That'll be forty."

"Forty?" Kristoff asked, in disbelief. "No, ten."

"Oh, dear, that's no good! See, this is from our winter stock, where the supply and demand have a big problem."

"You want to talk about a "supply and demand" problem? I sell ice for a living!" Kristoff argued, pointing out of the door which as Sora and the others turned to look, there outside was a sled full of blocks of ice.

"That's different." Riku muttered to himself.

"Ooh, that's a rough business to be in right now. I mean, that is really-" Anna cuts herself off when Kristoff turned to glare at her. She quickly cleared her throat and added, "Ahem, that's unfortunate."

"Okay, no one really sells that stuff." Sora said, crossing his arms.

"Let alone buy it." Terra nodded in agreement.

"Come on, you'd have better luck in selling those things to keep people and drinks cool in summer." Lea said as he placed his hands behind his head casually.

Jack rolled his eyes, "Oh, leave him be. That's his life, so no point in interfering."

"Still 40. But I will throw in a visit to Oaken's Sauna." The man, apparently Oaken himself, said, waving over to apparently his family who were relaxing in the sauna. "Hi, family!"

"Hoo hoo!" The family waved, and Anna, Sora, Kairi, Aqua, Ven, Mickey, Goofy, Xion and Skuld waved in return, while Roxas, Lea, Isa, Terra, Riku, Donald, Myde and Jack just shared a disturbed glance.

Kristoff sighed, "Ten's all I've got. Help me out."

"Okay." Oaken said, rearranging the carrots from the other supplies and told the younger man, "Ten will get you this, and no more."

"Okay, just tell me one thing." Anna spoke up to Kristoff, "What was happening on the North Mountain? Did it seem... magical?"

"Yes!" Kristoff groaned.

"Did you see anyone else suspicious earlier too?" Terra questioned.

"Maybe." Kristoff shrugged, exasperated, "Now back up... while I deal with this crook here."

"He is a big palooka if you ask me." Donald nodded in agreement.

Jack rolled his eyes, "He's a man on business, mates. It's fortunate that he's selling the winter gear at a time like this."

"Hey, you guys leave him alone." Myde said in annoyance, defending Oaken. "He's an awesome guy!"

Oaken, who was glaring at Kristoff, Donald and even Jack, suddenly stood up and revealing that he was seven feet tall, towering the trio. While Jack flinched a little scaredly, both Kristoff and Donald, realising that they were in big trouble-both literally and figuretively-they chuckled nervously.

"What did you call me?"

The next thing the three of them knew, Oaken grabbed them by the collars of their shirts and carried them out to the door as Kristoff cried out, "Okay, okay! I'm out!"

Oaken then effortlessly tossed him, Donald and Jack into the air where the trio then landed face first into the snow. "Bye-bye." Oaken said before turning and slammed the door shut behind him as he walked back inside.

"Oi! What'd I do?" Jack pouted, clearly annoyed that he was thrown out and he hadn't even done anything wrong for once.

"Aw phooey!" Donald groaned, before spitting out a clump of snow that got into his mouth.

"Just great." Kristoff groaned, just as a reindeer approached and sniffered at the three of them, looking somewhat pleadingly at Kristoff who sighed, "No, Sven, I didn't get your carrots."

"...I was actually kind of expecting a horse." Jack admitted as he stared at the animal apparently named Sven.

Kristoff ignored the pirate as Sven moaned, and said as he noticed a barn next to the store, "But I did find us a place to sleep, and it's free!"

"Of course it is." Jack said as he and Donald stood up, brushing the snow off of themselves. "Nothing more warmer than a barn in the middle of winter, eh?" he added, a little sarcastically.

"At least it's free. Who are you, anyway?" Kristoff replied as he stood up, glaring at the pirate.

Jack was close in revealing his 'Captain' title when Donald cleared his throat while glaring at him. So the pirate instead tried not to cringe and instead answered as simply as he could, "Jack Sparrow, and this is Donald." though he did add to himself in his mind, 'Captain Jack Sparrow.' so that he wouldn't forget his 'full' name.

Back inside, Oaken returned to the counter and apologuised to the group cheerfully, "I'm sorry about this violence. I vill add a quart of lutefisk so we have good feelings." handing over jars of lutefisk on the counter to the group. "Just the outfits and booats, ja?"

Before they left, the group saw the supplies Kristoff couldn't afford. So after buying their winter gear as well as Donald's and Jack's, and even the other supplies, as well as bags to put the coats into as Roxas also discarded his coat for the winter gear as well, Sora and his friends left the store when they suddenly heard singing and decided to investigate. When they opened the door to the barn, they saw that Kristoff was singing.

"Nice duet." Anna commented, which her pressence nearly scared Kristoff out of his skin as he jumped with a fright, while Jack and Donald also noticed their pressence.

"Got your winter gear, guys." Terra said as he gave Jack his jumper and Donald his winter gear.

"Thanks, mate." Jack replied.

"Thank you!" Donald sighed in relief, hugging his gear as though it were his teddy bear or something.

"Oh, it's you guys." Kristoff sighed when it was the group and not Oaken as he'd been worried it might've been. "What do you want?"

"We want you to take us to North Mountain." Aqua replied, as she and the others had already told Anna that they were willing to help her find Elsa, which she happily thanked them for.

The man rolled his eyes and layed down on the pile of hay, pulling his hat over his eyes as though it were a sleeping mask. "I don't take people to places."

Anna tossed a sack that had the supplies Kristoff couldn't afford, saying, "Let me rephrase that. Take us to North Mountain...please." when the man glanced at the supplies, then up at the princess, she sighed, "Look, I know how to stop this winter."

Sighing in defeat, Kristoff layed down again, saying, "We leave at dawn...and you forgot Sven's carrots." only for Lea to toss another sack at him, this time with carrots in it.

"Came prepared." Lea said, "And we're leaving right now, thanks."

"All right, all right." Kristoff sighed, standing up before introducing himself, "Name's Kristoff."

"I'm Anna." Anna replied.

"I'm Sora." Sora added.

"My name's Lea. Got it memorized?" Lea added.

"And I'm Mickey." Mickey introduced himself.

"My name's Kairi." Kairi introduced herself.

"Isa." Isa said simply.

"I'm Riku." Riku added.

"Name's Goofy. Ay-yhuck!" Goofy added.

"I'm Roxas." Roxas added.

"I'm Xion." Xion added.

"I'm Ventus; Ven for short." Ven added.

"My name is Skuld." Skuld added.

"I'm Aqua." Aqua added.

"And I'm Terra." Terra added.

"I'm Myde." Myde concluded.

It was a bit of a tight squeeze in the sled, but the group made do. As Kristoff had Sven go as he carried the sled, he then told the group, "Hang on! We like to go fast!"

"I like fast!" Anna said, smiling.

"I don't!" Myde squealed, hanging on for dear life.

"Whimp." Sora rolled his eyes.

"Who taught you to rein this?" Jack asked, quite alarmed at the speed that they were going.

"My dad." Kristoff replied, "Seriously, were you guys born in a barn?"

"No. We grew up in a lotta different places." Mickey replied, "Donald, Goofy and I grew up together."

"Yeah, Riku, Kairi and I grew up on the islands." Sora added.

"I grew up at sea." Jack commented, a little sadly.

"Isa and I grew up in a city." Lea muttered.

"I have no idea where I was born, but I pretty much grew up with Terra and Aqua." Ven added.

"I was raised in a castle." Anna added.

"Hmmm." Kristoff thought, before asking Anna, "So, uh tell me. What made the Queen go all ice-crazy?"

"Oh, well, it was all my fault. I got engaged, but then she freaked out because I'd only just met him, you know, that day, and she said she wouldn't bless the marriage and-"

"Wait, what?" Lea cut Anna off, shocked and surprised. Everyone else were just as stunned and shocked as well. Sure the princess told most of them that she was engaged to this Hans guy, but having done so only just during the day when the two first met?

"Uh...can you repeat that?" Myde asked, dumbfounded.

"Wait. You got engaged to someone you just met that day?" Kristoff asked, just as dumbfounded. By judging the expressions of the other guys of the group, he immediately knew that it wasn't Sora, Jack, Terra, Roxas, Ven, Myde, Lea or Isa, and definitely not Mickey, Donald and Goofy.

Anna rolled her eyes, "Yeah. Anyway, I got mad ,and so she got mad and then she tried to walk away and I grabbed her glove-"

"HANG ON! You mean to tell me you got engaged to someone you just met that day!?" Kristoff interrupted.

"Yes! Pay attention." Anna sighed, before concluding, "But the thing is, she wore the gloves all the time, so I just thought, maybe she has a thing about dirt."

"Well...that just makes things awkward." Terra thought.

"Uh, no offence, Anna, but didn't your Mom and Dad warn ya' about strangers?" Myde asked, awkwardly.

Anna scooted slightly in her seat, replying, "Yyyyyyyyyeessss, they did. But Hans is not a stranger!"

"I'm not so sure about that." Aqua said, pointing out, "You shouldn't have gotten too close to someone you only just met."

"Let alone get engaged to them in just in a matter of minutes." Lea commented in agreement.

"Yeah, no offence, but I kinda get why the Queen got upset." Sora added.

"We're not saying any of this to upset ya', Anna, but that kind of thing could lead into big trouble." Mickey said in agreement, concerned as well.

"Besides, what's his last name?" Kristoff asked, just as skeptical.

"Of-the-Southern-Isles!" Anna scoffed.

"What's his favorite food?"

"Sandwiches."

"His best friend's name?"

"Probably John."

"Eye colour?"

"Dreamy."

"Foot size?"

"Foot size doesn't matter!"

"A eunuch, possibly?" Jack asked, worriedly. When everyone glanced at him questionly, he shrugged, "Met quite some eunuchs before. Recently met one who was to be married to a girl but had to call off their wedding." referring to Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann.

"But Will's not a u-neeck." Goofy pointed out while unable to say eunuch properly.

"Will you just say out of this?" Sora, Kairi, Lea, Aqua, and Donald all said to Jack who held his hands up in defeat, slinking back a little to not join in the conversation anymore between Anna and Kristoff.

"Anyway," Kristoff continued while ignoring the others, before asking Anna, "Have you had a meal with him yet? What if you hate the way he eats? What if you hate the way he picks his nose?"

"Pick his nose?" Anna asked, shocked.

"And eats it." Kristoff nodded.

"Excuse me, sir. He's a prince." Anna said, annoyed.

"All men do it."

"Ew!" Anna, Kairi, Skuld, Xion and Aqua cringed, while Roxas looked horrified.

"Hey, we do not!" Sora pointed out, glaring at Kristoff, offended. Riku, Ven, Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Myde, Terra, Lea, Isa, and even Jack looked offended as well.

"That's disgusting." Riku shuddered.

"Look, it doesn't matter; it's true love." Anna told Kristoff.

"Doesn't sound like true love." Kristoff replied.

"Are you some sort of love expert?"

"No, but I have friends who are."

"You have friends who are love experts?" Anna repeated, skeptically. "I'm not buying it."

Just then, Sven stopped and gazed around as he heard something. It was a second later that everyone else except for Anna heard it as well; rustling around them as the sun had set a while ago and it was in the middle of the dark. Not only that, but most of the worldly travellers sensed more than that; familiar darkness lurking.

"Stop talking." Kristoff muttered.

"No, no, no, no, no! I'd like to meet these-" Anna was cut off when Kristoff placed a hand over her mouth.

"Shh!" Terra shushed.

"Uh...guys?" Myde squeaked, wide eyed in terror as he turned to see what was behind them, seeing the eyes and figures from the darkness of the woods.

"Uh oh!" Goofy cried out, eyes wide in terror as well.

"Sven, go. Go!" Kristoff hurried, and the reindeer immediately took off running, carrying it's passengers as they went.

"What are they?" Anna asked.

"Wolves!" Kristoff answered.

"You might want to re-confirm that, mate!" Jack muttered, as he and the others got a better look at the wolves, the familiar yellow eyes, the fur all black and gray, and the Heartless emblem on their heads.

"The Heartless!" Donald squaked.

Immediately, Sora and his companions quickly summoned their weapons, and even Kristoff tried to join in. Sora tossed his Keyblade out at two of the Heartless, knocking them back before it returned to him. He then whacked another that tried to get to the Sled, causing it to crash into some of the other Heartless into a pile. Ven chanted Thunderaga that zapped another Heartless that tried to bite his head off but was instead electrocuted.

Terra slashed another Heartless in half while Riku and Mickey both used the power of light and fire at several more. Jack bonked another with his Keyblade before ducking as another tried to bite his head off. It was quickly destroyed when Xion and Kairi knocked it away together. Donald and Aqua used Firaga to melt the Snow-Man Heartless that appeared while Skuld and Goofy spun their weapons that knocked the other Heartless back.

Lea, Roxas and Isa teamed up with the combination of Fire, Thunder and Wind that whirled the Heartless around before the monsters were destroyed. Myde strung the combination of music and water from his Styer that washed the remaining Heartless away. Kristoff knocked one away from Sven when it tried to attack his reindeer friend.

"Whoa!" He cried out in alarm when another Heartless attempted to get him. Kristoff was then shocked and awed when Anna grabbed hold of the lute and whacked it away as though it were a club. "Whoa..." He whispered. He had to admit, she could defend herself. Suddenly Kristoff was yanked off the sled by another Heartless, causing him to scream out in alarm, "WHOA!"

"Kristoff!" Sora cried out, alarmed.

"Christopher!" Anna cried out, worriedly.

Fortunately, Kristoff was being dragged by the sled's behind, as he yelled out to Anna, "It's Kristoff!"

"I need someone to set this on fire!" Anna rolled up a blanket.

Lea quickly knew what the princess had in mind and immediately snapped his fingers which lit up at least the lower half of the blanket so that it wouldn't burn Anna by mistake. The princess then called out to Kristoff to duck, and then tossed it at the Heartless, hitting them square on and surprisingly finished them off.

As Kristoff pulled himself up, he glared at Anna, "You almost set me on fire!"

"But I didn't." Anna pointed out, as she, Sora, Kairi and Mickey pulled Kristoff back up.

"Dead end at Three o'Clock!" Myde screamed hysterically, pointing in front of them as a cliff was up ahead.

"Not another bloody cliff!" Jack cursed.

"We're not gonna make it!" Roxas cried out, alarmed.

"Only one thing to do!" Ven said, turning to Aqua and Terra who both nodded. The trio then tossed their Keyblades into the air which then all turned into their gliders which they haven't used in twelve years. While most of the group were stunned by this display, Mickey nodded.

"Hurry!" Mickey called out.

Kristoff had Anna, Skuld and himself on Sven after he cuts the harness from the reindeer, while Sora, Kairi, Roxas and Mickey quickly boarded with Aqua on her glider, Lea, Jack, Myde and Xion did the same with Ven's, and Riku, Donald, Goofy, and Isa did the same with Terra's. It was awkward, but it was better than nothing.

"Jump, Sven!" Kristoff shouted.

While the reindeer successfully clears the chasm, landing on the other side with his passengers, the others on the gliders wobbly but also successfully flew over the chasm safely, landing with a bit of a bump on the other side. The sled on the other hand, fell and crashed below into the chasm where it burst into flames, much to Kristoff's dismay as he hurried over and stood by the edge of the cliff.

"No! But I just paid it off!" Kristoff cried out, miserably. The ledge suddenly began to give away and he almost fell in alarm, when Anna quickly grabbed his arm and pulled him back to safety just in time.

"Aw gee. Sorry, Kristoff." Mickey said, feeling sorry for the poor young man, while Aqua, Ven and Terra dismissed their gliders which turned back into their Keyblades. He then asked to everyone else, "Is everybody alright?"

To his relief, their replies were that they were fine.

Anna, having seen what happened, cringed and apologetically said to Kristoff, "Whoa. I'll replace your sled, and-and everything in it. And I understand if you don't want to help me anymore." turning and then walked off a bit, trying to figure out which way to go now.

"Well," Lea began as he brushed himself off. "On the bright side. At least we're alive."

"Yeah, but which way to do we go?" Kairi asked, gazing around the surroundings.

"I have no idea." Anna sighed.

"How 'bout this way?" Myde suggested, pointing to the left.

"We could always go north." Isa rolled his eyes.

"Hmmm..." Jack mumured, before pulling out his Compass and hoped that it would work this time. As usual as he opened it up, the needle jerked back and forth, spinning backwards and forwards. He slammed it shut and gave it a violent shake as if it would help, but sadly it didn't. Giving up, he stashed it away back into his pockets.

Apparently Sora noticed, because he asked, "Still doesn't work for you, huh?"

"Not when I need it the most." Jack grumbled. "I thought it might help in a situation such as this."

"Too bad it doesn't work like that." Sora shook his head, before saying, "I'm sure we'll find Elsa and North Mountain somewhere."

"Hold up!" Kristoff called up, as he and Sven approached the group. "We're coming."

"You are? I mean, sure! I'll let you tag along." Anna said, happily.

"Let's get going. It can't that far off, can it?" Sora responded.

The others nodded in agreement, before walking further to find their way towards North Mountan and hopefully where Elsa was.

Meanwhile, in a spectacular ice place up in the North Mountain, a young woman in a icy blue dress, white hair that was loose, and blue eyes, gazed around her new palace after having run away from the kingdom that she and her younger sister had grown up in. While she was a little angry with her sister's decisions, she still felt the guilt of what she had done and continued to gaze at her hands.

"How am I ever going to control this?" The young woman asked herself.

"Just find the answer in your heart, or maybe the answer might come to you when you think about what's more important." An familiar voice spoke behind her.

Eyes widening in shock, the young woman whirled around to find an unfamiliar man in a black coat, his hands behind his back. He had his hood on, so she couldn't see his face. That didn't make him any nicer.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" The young woman demanded, backing away a little.

"Oh, sorry. I forgot to knock on the door." The man shrugged, rubbing the back of his head as though he was sheepish. "And well, I'm no one that important."

"That doesn't answer my question." The young woman pointed out.

"Well, my idenity is complicated." The man replied, keeping his distance from the young woman. His tone then turned slightly serious as he continued, "I know of your sorcery, and how you're unable to control them."

This made the young woman, named Elsa, back away slightly in horror. "What is it that you want with me?"

To her surprise, he replied, "I'm not after you, or your powers, and I'm not gonna hurt you either. I'm just here to give a bit of an advice. See, people like you who don't know what they're capable of with the powers in their hearts end up letting them run wild with a will of their own. It only makes it worse when anger surges through the veins of your body. Fear makes it run because it can sense your fear."

Elsa lowered her gaze to the floor, thinking. Despite her distrust in this intruder, she had to admit that he had a point, now that she remembered how this mess started. "Say if I believe you in this, how can I stop it?"

"There's no getting rid of powers completely." The man replied, "But, the key thing to this is to control it with the single emotion that has the power to light the darkness and melt the ice with warmth. An inner warmth that is there for those like you. As long as you continue to think of what you know makes your heart warm, that will not only reverse the little winter, but it will also give you full control of your powers."

"How do you know so much about this?" Elsa asked, still slightly suspicious, but since she had no other leads on how to fix up this mess, she decided to keep this thought in mind despite remembering the warning about strangers.

"Been there, done that. It's not an easy task." The man said as he waved his hand to demostrate. "You'd be surprised that other people in the outside world had the similiar problem, if not completely worse. Consider yourself lucky you still have what you got in your heart."

"No really, how do you know so much about me?" Elsa asked again, more carefully this time.

The man stood there in silence, before turning around, and replied, "I see into the future, and well, sometimes even the future can change, right? Thought it would never happen, but I was proven wrong. Sure glad that I was. Anyway, I'll let myself out to get out of your hair." and then walked off, taking his leave.

Elsa just stood there, stunned in disbelief. Whoever that man was...strange as he was, he didn't seem...that bad of a person. But still, she wasn't about to push her luck, even though what he said made some kind of sense.

While Elsa was left to her own thoughts, the man rounded the corner as he muttered in a whisper, "Boy, are things really heating up in the Realm of Light." as he summoned a corridor that was a mixture of light and darkness before stepping through, vanishing as it closed up.

A/N: I think the Arendelle world will be shorter than the two previous Disney worlds. You never know. I'll try and update as soon as I can(and as soon as this cold goes away). See you in the next chapter!
