Chapter 57

After Larxene sent most of the group flying, she then left the area through a dark corridor, leaving Gray and Juvia alone in the area.

"Dammit!", said Gray angrily. "We got separated again!"

"What should we do, Gray-sama?", asked a worried Juvia.

Gray sighed and said, "It's like I said before, they'll be fine. If it's true what Larxene said about Elsa. She's probably having trouble understanding her powers. We should help her out."

"Are you sure?", question a concern Juvia. If Gray-sama works with Elsa. Then-

"Of course!", he said as he headed towards the palace steps.

"Gray-sama and Elsa…"

You're magic is the most beautiful I ever scene!, said Gray in Juvia's imagination while she blushes. Gray was standing near Elsa who was smiling at him.

But your magic is just as wonderful as mine!, said Elsa.

They then hold each other's hands.

Elsa…

Gray…

"Are you coming?", asked Gray, snapping Juvia out of her thoughts.

"Yes!", she responded. I'll never let that happen!

After being flown off the mountain, the group was partly buried in snow when the crashed. Sora and the Fairy Tail members got up from the snow and saw half of Donald and Goofy's bodies buried in snow.

"Donald! Goofy! Are you okay?", asked Sora.

Donald got up and pulled his head out of the snow. He then shook his head to get the rest of the snow off of him. "I'm okay…", he responded, still looking dizzy.

"All good!", said Goofy (Still in the ground) while he waved his hands.

"Wait. Where's Gray and Juvia?", asked Erza.

"Are they at the castle?!", asked Lucy. "Aw man, we got separated again!"

"No, this is good!", said Natsu. "If Gray and Juvia are up there, they're protecting Elsa!"

"That's true. Since Gray has the same magic as Elsa.", said Charle.

"Either way, I think we should go check on Elsa.", said Sora.

"And make sure Larxene was wrong about her magic.", said Goofy.

"Yeah."

"But don't you tell her what Larxene said.", said Donald.

"Huh? Why not?"

"Well, to keep the order.", said Goofy.

"Yeah. Order.", said Donald.

"And to not make her panic.", said Charle.

"Oh… Okay.", said Sora.

The group then headed off into a different direction. While walking, Natsu, Wendy, Gajeel, and Goofy stop and heard something.

"What's wrong?", asked Erza.

"Do ya hear that?", asked Goofy.

Everyone became silent and listen carefully. They all heard a large rumble coming towards them from up the mountain.

Donald looked closely and then shouted, "Look!"

After getting a closer look, they all saw a large pile of snow coming down the mountain. It quickly covered the entire area as it came down.

"Avalaaaaaanche!", shouted everyone (Except Laxus, Gajeel, Lily, and Erza who stood there with shock).

"Goofy, get your shield!", yelled Erza as she summoned her Adamantium Shield. "Some get on Goofy's shield while the others get on mine! Natsu, Gajeel, and Wendy will be carried by Happy, Charle, and Lily!"

Listening to Erza's instructions, Goofy summon his shield and threw it on the ground.

"Sora! Donald! Climb aboard!", shouted Goofy.

Sora and Donald got on and Goofy pushed the shield down the hill and jumped on while the others did the same on Erza's shield. Wendy then cast her Troia spell on Laxus before he got on while she was grabbed by Charle, along with Happy and Lily grabbing Natsu and Gajeel.

"Guys, look!", shouted Wendy.

Everybody turn and face the avalanche coming down at them. There was something coming out of the avalanche but still remain hidden behind it.

"What is that?", asked a scared Lucy.

The figure then came out of the avalanche, revealing to be a dragon Heartless.

"A dragon!", shouted everyone with shock.

"We got this one!", said Natsu as he, Gajeel, and Wendy face the Heartless.

"Iron Dragon's Roar!"

"Sky Dragon's Roar!"

"Fire Dragon's Roar!"

The three Dragon Slayers blasted their attacks right at the Heartless and the avalanche. The attacks hit directly at the Heartless and the avalanche, destroying and stopping the avalanche from moving forward. But after the attacks were hit, the people on the shields were sent flying into the air.

"Why would you do thaaat!", shouted a flying Lucy.

"Oh no!", said a worried Wendy.

"Let's go!", said Gajeel as the three fly after them.

"We're gonna craaash!", shouted Donald as they all began to fall onto the ground.

"Land on the shields when you are close to the ground!", shouted Erza.

As the group came close to the ground, they landed on the shields like Erza said and started to slide down the hill once more.

"I hope this one is more relaxing.", sighed Lucy.

"I don't see any Heartless around, so I assume it's safe here.", said Laxus.

It was a rocky area the group was in, but they continued down the hills to find a safe area.

"This feels nice…", said Erza.

"That looks like fun!", said Wendy. "If we didn't have motion sickness, we could join you guys."

"Yeah, that would be fun.", said Sora.

"Look! An open area!", shouted Donald.

After sliding through a cave, the group landed in an open area, were three dragon Heartlesses from before was waiting for them.

"These guys?!", said Natsu.

"Let's take care of these guys, then we can go back to the castle!", said Sora.

But before they could attack them, the dragons were then in the air and flew right past the group.

"They're running away?!", question Natsu. "Cowards!"

They all turn and saw the dragons flying into a snowy cliff. After they crash, the snow on the cliff started to break apart and began to fall down, starting another avalanche.

"Again?!", shouted a scared Lucy.

"Run!", shouted Sora.

They all started to run away from the avalanche. But it quickly catches up to them and pushed them all off the mountain.

"I hate thiiis!", shouted Lucy as the others scream.

Gray and Juvia reached the palace steps and open the large ice door. The room was blue and purple and was mostly filled with snowflake carvings. The ice was so clean that Gray and Juvia could see their own reflections.

"Amazing…", said Gray.

"Who's there?"

Gray and Juvia looked up and saw Elsa at the top of the stairs.

"You're the people I met before…", she said with surprise.

"Elsa, my name is Gray Fullbuster and this is Juvia Lockser. We would like to talk to-"

"Go home."

Gray immediately stop talking. Elsa then started to come down the stairs.

"It isn't safe to be near me. My place is here, alone. Were I can use my magic freely."

"That's the thing, we want to-"

"I said…" Elsa began to charge magic energy into her hand. "GO HOME!" She then fired a snow spell directly at Gray.

"Gray-sama!", shouted Juvia.

Gray didn't move or became shock. Instead, he lifted his right hand and summon an ice shield in front of him, blocking Elsa's attack and filling the room with snow powder.

"What happened?", asked a surprised Elsa. When the powder cleared, she saw with shock an ice shield in front of Gray. Her eyes were wide open. "An ice shield…?! You can use ice magic too?!"

"Yeah.", he answered calmly. "I use Ice-Make magic. I can create stuff using ice magic."

"So that's why you're not scared of me?" Gray nodded. "I'm sorry I attacked you. I just really want to be alone. Is there a reason you're here?"

"We want to talk to you about your magic. We thought we could help you with it."

"Oh, okay. Before I move on. Does your friend here use magic too?"

Juvia stepped forward and said, "Juvia doesn't use ice magic. Juvia uses water magic." She then turned her entire body into water, surprising Elsa.

"Amazing!", she said. "Can your friends use magic too?"

"Yes." Juvia then came over and gave Elsa a nasty look. "We will fight for Gray-sama, love rival!"

Elsa backed away with a sweat drop. "Um, that's okay…"

"Don't worry about her.", sighed Gray. "Can you explain your powers?"

"Yes. It began when I was born…"

"Wow! Look at all the pretty colors. There's blue, and green-ooh, I love green! And look, black. And red!", said someone. Someone then pulled something off. "Just like my buttons. Hmm?"

That someone then saw some snow on Sora's head. Still feeling tired, Sora slowly awake. He then saw someone standing in front of him, revealing to be a snow man with sticks. The snowman was looking at himself and turned to face Sora.

"Silly spiky grass. Give me back my foot.", it said as it came over by jumping and took the snow off of Sora's head and attached it to the bottom of his body. After getting it's foot back, the snowman walked away while Sora watched.

"Was that...a snowman?", wondered Sora.

After falling off the mountain, the group was now in a flat rocky area with trees covering the area. Everyone then got up, but pretty exhausted from the fall.

"Huh? Uh...did you see that snowman?", asked Sora while the others were still a little dizzy.

"Snowman?", question Goofy.

"Yeah. And here's the funny thing: he was walking and talking."

Donald looked at Goofy and said, "Everybody knows snowmen can't walk. You must've imagined it."

"Huh… I thought he was real."

"I don't know, we see a lot of weird stuff on this adventure.", said Natsu. "Plus, I smelled someone else was here.

"Well, maybe we'll see him again.", said Goofy. "But if we don't get goin', we'll never reach Elsa's palace."

"Oh, right! I almost forgot! C'mon!", said Sora.

They all ran into the only direction in front of them. After a while, they entered a large area with a frozen pond and white trees everywhere, with all of the branches have water drop icicles on them.

"These branches are beautiful!", said an amazed Wendy.

"This is a lovely place.", said Lucy. "Especially if it's covered in snow."

"Look, someone coming.", said Erza.

The group then saw four figures walking west of them. A girl with auburn hair braided into two pigtails wearing a black-and-blue dress, a magenta cape, a magenta hat, blue mittens, and black boots. A man with shaggy blonde hair and wears a dark grey toque, a dark grey winter outfit with a dark magenta scarf around his waist, and boots which curl up at the front. A reindeer. And finally, the snowman Sora saw before.

"I can't wait to meet Elsa.", said the snowman while giggling. "I bet she's the nicest, warmest, best person ever."

The group looked amazed by the snowman.

"See?", said Sora. "I told you! A walking, talking snowman."

"Well, whaddaya know?", said Goofy. "You were right!"

"I wanna look!"

"Um, guys?", asked Lucy. "Where's Natsu and Happy?"

The group looked right next to Sora, but Natsu and Happy where not there.

"So cool!"

"Aye!"

The group faced forward and saw Natsu and Happy standing right in front of the snowman.

"Looks like they beat you to it.", said Gajeel.

"I know I'm not a big fan of ice, but you are the coolest thing I've seen.", said Natsu as he got closer to it.

"Aye, can you dance?", asked Happy.

"Sure!", said the snowman as he started to dance.

"Wow! You really are alive!", said Sora as he came up to the snowman, startling it. "What's making you walk?" The snowman started to back away nervously when Sora came closer.

The other three figures stop and turned to see what the snowman was doing.

"Um, well, I guess...my feet.", answered the snowman while wiggling it's foot.

"He's got you there!", said Happy.

"Why are you blue?"

"Because I'm a cat!"

"That doesn't answer the question!", said Donald.

The three figures came up towards the group, the man with his arms crossed and the girl looking concern.

"Hello.", said the girl. "Olaf, are these your friends?"

"Nope!", answered the snowman, Olaf. "Never met 'em. Don't know anyone blue, green, pink, red, black, yellow, white, or who's oddly spiky."

"'Spiky'?", question Sora. "My hair? Wait, why don't I get a color too? My name is Sora."

"And I'm Donald Duck!"

"And I'd be Goofy the Green!"

"I'm Natsu!"

"My name is Lucy."

"Gajeel."

"My name is Wendy."

"Laxus."

"Our apologies.", said Erza to the girl. "We were amazed by this talking snowman. My name is Erza."

"I'm Happy!"

"Charle."

"I'm Panther Lily. But you may call me Lily."

The girl and the man looked shocked. "Did those cats just talk?!", said the stun girl.

"Well technically, we're Exceeds."

"Don't worry.", said Wendy. "It may seem strange, but they're really nice."

"Well then, I'm Anna. And I know they're strangers, but...they seem pretty nice to me."

The man sighed. "I'm Kristoff, and this is Sven."

The reindeer, Sven, nodded.

"Nice to meet ya.", said Goofy.

"So, where are you guys all headed?", asked Sora.

"We're going to try and put an end to this crazy winter.", said Kristoff.

So Gray was right…, thought Erza.

"And to do that, we need to find my sister, Elsa.", said Anna.

"Elsa's...your sister?", asked Sora.

"She does have the same smell as her.", said Natsu as he was standing right near Anna's back and sniffing it, making her uncomfortable.

"Would you stop that!", said an angry Kristoff.

"What a coincidence.", said Goofy. "We're going to see her too."

"You know Elsa?", asked Anna.

"Yeah, we ran into her up the mountain.", said Sora. "Two of our friends are also with her trying to help her feel better about something."

"Could you care to explain what's going on with her and the snow?", asked Laxus.

"We're worried. We think your sister might be in some trouble."

"Trouble?", question Anna. "Are you sure?" Anna and Sora stared at each other with a serious look. Anna then smiled and said, "All right. I know we just met, but...Sora, was it? I get the feeling that you're someone to trust. Along with...Natsu, was it?"

"Yup!", said Natsu with a large grin.

"I'm right there with ya.", said Kristoff.

"I hope you like long stories.", said Anna.

"We deal with that a lot.", said Lucy.

"Ya know, I should go find some moss for Sven.", said Kristoff. "He's looking a little hungry."

"Oh, I'm hungry, too.", said a tired Natsu. "Can you get me something?"

"I'm not your maid! But, yes. C'mon Sven."

Olaf eagerly walked up towards Kristoff and asked, "Hey, w-w-w-wait, what's going on? Tell me. Is something happening?"

Kristoff then picked up Olaf and said, "C'mon, Olaf. You're with me."

"Sure, Sven. Reindeer Sven too?"

"The reindeer is Sven."

"Oh, how fun!", said Olaf as he is carried away by Kristoff.

"That's one simple minded snowman.", said Gajeel.

"Yeah.", said Lily.

Anna and Sora walked towards a large nearby rock and sat on it. The others followed them as well.

Anna then spoke. "When we were little, my sister and I used to be really close. But then, one day, for some reason, Elsa just shut me out."

"So you never see her at all?", asked Lucy.

"Yes. Years passed and we barely ever saw each other. Then, finally, it was time for her coronation. Let's just say I was more than a little excited."

"No shit. Anyone would get excited to see someone after a long time.", said Gajeel.

"Yeah. I thought we'd finally have a chance to talk. But at the party, I did something that made her mad."

"What did you do?", asked Charle.

"I met this prince name Hans. He was living the same situation that I had. We talked all day about each other and then I decided to marry him."

"WHAT?!", shouted everyone with shock.

"Why would you marry a guy that you just met?!", asked Natsu.

"I don't know, he was nice!", said Anna.

"You can't just marry someone you just met.", said Erza. "Love takes time and trust."

"Yeah, yeah. Anyway, when I told Elsa about it, she refuses to let us marry each other. We got into an argument, and I lost my temper. I was just so frustrated! And the, well...that's when she used her magic to push me away. It was all my fault."

"You sisters tend to get frustrated easily.", said Happy.

"Just like Natsu.", said Donald.

"Shut up!", yelled Natsu.

"So that's when you discovered her ice magic?", asked Laxus. Anna nodded.

Happy raised his paw. "Wait, if Elsa has magic, does that mean Anna has magic?"

"No, I don't have any magic.", she answered.

"If she did have magic, it would be fire.", said Natsu. "To go against her sister's magic and because of her personality."

"How can you tell?", asked Donald.

Anna still looked guilty. "I shouldn't have upset her the way I did. Elsa ran away because she was frightened. I have to bring her home."

"I'm sure she knows how much you love her. And I think...maybe that's why she looked so sad.", said Sora as he remembers the first time he saw Elsa. He then remember Riku on the other end of the Door to Darkness. It's just like when Riku disappeared. He thought he had to push me away, to protect me. Maybe Elsa's the same.

Erza then spoke. "I was like Elsa once. I personally problem came up and I needed to face it alone, so I ordered my friends to go home. Despite what I said, they refused to leave and wanted to help me. I was grateful for what they did."

"If anyone can help her, it's you."

Anna looked confused. But after seeing Sora's determined face, she smiled and said, "Thanks."

"Hey, guys! I need some help!"

They all saw Kristoff running towards them.

"What's the problem?", asked Sora.

"This.", said Kristoff as he showed them a stick.

The group looked confused. "A stick problem?", asked Donald.

"It's not a stick. Well, it is a stick, but it- It's Olaf's arm. He's fallen apart again."

"Fallen apart?!", shouted everyone.

"Uh, how come you're not upset?", asked Donald.

"Is he dying?!", asked a worried Natsu.

"No!", said an annoyed Kristoff.

"Oh, it's no big deal.", said Anna. "He's a snowman. We'll just put him back together."

"Really?!", question everyone.

"You can do that?", asked Donald.

"I gotta see this!", said an excited Goofy.

"The pieces can't be too far from here.", said Kristoff. "Could you guys help us look for 'em?"

"Leave to us Dragon Slayers.", said Natsu as he, Gajeel, and Wendy step forward.

"What?"

"Let's just say they have a strong sense of smell.", said Lucy. "So they can find Olaf anywhere."

"Oh, okay. Go on ahead."
