Chapter 59

Anna and the rest of the group finally reached the Ice Palace and started to head towards the ice stairs.

"Finally, we're back!", said Natsu.

"Gray-san and Juvia-san are inside, along with Elsa-san.", said Wendy as she sniffed the air.

Meanwhile, Olaf was eagerly running up the stairs, while Anna and Kristoff were astonished by the structure of the Ice Palace.

"Whoa!", said an amazed Kristoff. "Now that's ice. I may cry!"

"Go ahead.", said Anna as she headed for the stairs. "I wont judge."

Sven then started to go up the stairs but slipped on them. He tried to get up, but he keeps on slipping.

"Alright. Take it easy, boy.", said Kristoff as he helped Sven get down from the stairs. "I gotcha. You stay right here."

"Sorry, buddy.", said Happy as the others made their way up the stairs.

Anna came up to the doors and was about to knock, but she stop.

"Knock.", said Olaf. "Just knock." There was a pause. "Why isn't she knocking? Do you think she knows how to knock."

"She's nervous, that's why.", sighed Charle.

After a pause, Anna finally knocked on the door and they immediately opened, surprising her.

"It opened.", she gasped. "That's the first. Oh, you should probably wait out here."

"What?", said Kristoff.

"Last time I introduced her to a guy, she kinda froze everything."

"B-But. Oh, come on! It's a palace made of ice! Ice is my life!"

"Bye Swen!", said Olaf as he waved at Kristoff and started to walk in.

"You too, Olaf.", said Anna as she grabbed Olaf's hand and pulled him back.

"M-me?", question Olaf.

"Just...give us a minute."

"Okay…"

"You're not telling us to stay out here.", said Natsu. "Our friends are in there too!"

"Alright, you guys can come.", said Anna with a sigh.

"They get to go in, but I can't?", said an annoyed Kristoff.

"Their friends are in there!"

"Alright…", he said as he and Olaf sat on the steps while the others walked into the palace.

"1, 2, 3, 4.", said Olaf as he and Kristoff started to count.

Anna and the Fairy Tail mages walked around the room, amazed by the beauty.

"So pretty!", said Wendy.

"Elsa did a splendid job on this one!", said Charle.

"It's just as pretty as the ballroom at the King's castle in Crocus!", said Lucy.

"Elsa?", said Anna. "It's me, Anna!"

"Gray! Juvia! Come out here!", yelled Natsu.

"Don't do that you idiot!", said an angry Lucy.

"Who's there!"

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

"Gray! Juvia!", said a happy Lucy. "You're okay!"

"Yeah, we've been hanging out here to Elsa with her magic.", said Gray as he and Juvia came down the stairs. "She's pretty good."

"Who's this?", asked Juvia.

"This is Elsa-san's sister, Anna-san.", said Wendy.

"You must be the one's Natsu and others were talking about.", said Anna as she came up to Gray. "Thank you for looking after Elsa."

"It was no problem. She needed help so that's what we did.", said Gray.

"Elsa!", shouted Juvia. "Anna-san is here. Juvia knew she wouldn't abandon you!"

Everyone looked up and saw Elsa at the stop of the stairs.

"Anna…", she said calmly.

Anna looked surprised by her sister's new appearance. "Whoa, Elsa! You look...different. It's a good difference. And this place it's...it's amazing!"

"Thank you.", Elsa said with a smile. "I never knew what I was capable of."

"I see you're doing fine.", said Natsu.

"Aye!", said Happy.

"Thank you. Gray and Juvia have been a big help to me.", said Elsa.

"So sorry about what happened.", said Anna as she started to walk up the stairs, making Elsa back away nervously. "If I'd had known-"

"No, no, no. It's okay. You don't have to apologize. But you should probably go. Please."

The mages looked surprised. Gray and Juvia then looked sad.

"But I just got here."

"You belong down in Arendelle."

"So do you."

"No. Anna, I belong here. Alone. Where I can be who I am...without hurting anybody."

"Actually, about that…", said a guilty Anna.

They all heard someone speaking at the front entrance.

"What is that?", asked Elsa.

They then saw Olaf running towards the group saying, Hi! I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs!"

"Olaf?"

"A talking snowman!", said a shock Gray.

"Juvia sees it, Gray-sama!", said a shock Juvia.

"You built me.", said Olaf to Elsa. "Remember that?"

"You built him?", asked the Fairy Tail mages with shock.

"Yes", said Elsa. "And you're alive?"

"Um, I think so?", answered a confused Olaf.

"What do you mean 'think so'?", question Lucy.

"He's just like the one we built as kids.", said Anna.

"Yeah.", said Elsa.

"So we were so close. We can be like that again."

"It would be nice Elsa.", said Juvia.

"Yeah. Give it a chance!", said Natsu.

Elsa looked happy. But then her expression changed to horror when she remembers accidently strucking Anna's head with her magic.

"No.", she said with fear. "We can't." She then started to walk away. "Goodbye, Anna."

"What?", said everyone.

"Elsa, wait.", said Anna

"I'm just trying to protect you."

"You don't have to protect me, I'm not afraid.", said Anna as she ran after her. "Please don't shut me out again!" Anna then started to sing.

"I don't understand.", said Lucy. "Why doesn't Elsa not want to return to Arendelle?"

"We can explain that.", said Gray.

"I love stories!", said Olaf.

"You're creepy…"

Gray and Juvia then told everyone Elsa's story and how she kept her powers hidden.

"So she's been holding back her magic, just to avoid hurting anyone?", said Wendy.

"That's not good.", said Lucy.

"Not only does it not help her control it, but it can be dangerous to others and herself if she releases a large amount of power.", said Charle.

"We knew that and Juvia and Gray-sama decided to help Elsa control her powers.", said Juvia.

"We can head down this mountain together.", said Anna as she started to sing again.

They then started to hear Elsa singing.

"We should go check on them.", said Gray.

Sora and the others have finally made it to the icicle area.

"We're back! Finally.", said Sora with relief.

"That palace is incredible!", said Donald.

"Yeah. I wonder if Anna and the others made it there yet.", said Goofy.

"Probably since the others are with them.", said Lily.

Back at the castle, the mages were watching Anna and Elsa talk from outside the door.

"You kind of set off an eternal winter...everywhere.", said Anna.

"Everywhere?", said Elsa with horror.

"Well, it's okay. You can just unfreeze it."

"No, I can't. I don't know how."

"Sure you can. I know you can."

"This is not good…", said Gray. The others nodded.

A snow blizzard then swarm around Anna and Elsa, covering the entire room and blinding everyone.

"Where did this blizzard come from?!", shouted Lucy.

"Anna, where are you?!", shouted Natsu.

"Elsa, you need to stop this blizzard!", shouted Gray.

Sora and the others have finally reached the Ice Palace, where they see Sven's tongue stuck on the icy rail. He looked around to see if the others are around, but no sign of them.

"Anna and the others must've gone inside.", said Sora.

Meanwhile, Anna tried walking through the snow storm to reach Elsa.

Suddenly out of frustration Elsa unleashed her magic everyone where in the room. "I can't!", she shouted.

The magic was unleashed hit Anna squarely in the chest. She gasped and collapsed onto the floor in pain.

Elsa turned to face Anna and gasped in horror.

"Anna!", yelled the mages as they ran towards her.

"Anna!"

Elsa turned and saw a worried Kristoff and enter the room. "Are you okay?"

Kristoff grabbed Anna's arm and pulled her up.

"I'm okay.", she answered.

"Are you sure?", asked Wendy.

"I'm fine."

"Why would you do that?", asked a demanding Natsu.

"Natsu!", said Lucy.

"I'm so sorry!", said a worried Elsa. "But who this?", she asked when she looked at Kristoff. "Wait, it doesn't matter. Just… You have to go."

Anna immediately protest. "No, I know we can figure this out together."

"How? What power do you have to stop this winter. To stop me?"

The walls inside the Ice Palace began to darken.

"Anna, I think we should go.", said Kristoff.

"Yeah you're not looking good.", said Happy.

"No, I'm not leaving without you, Elsa.", said Anna.

"Yes, you are.", said Elsa as she blasted some snow magic on the floor.

The snow magic began to swarm until it took the form of a giant snow monster. It immediately grab Anna, Kristoff, and Olaf and started to walk towards the exit.

"Hey get back here!", said Natsu as he and the others try to run after it, only to slip on the floor.

"Gray! Juvia! Look after Elsa!", yelled Natsu as they got up.

"On it!", said both Gray and Juvia.

Outside, Sora and the others are still at the front entrance. Suddenly, Sora gasped in pain and started to breath heavily.

"Sora?", asked Donald.

"Are ya hurt?", asked Goofy.

"You're not dying, are ya?", asked Gajeel.

"Don't ask that!", said an annoyed Donald.

"No, I'm fine.", Sora answered. "But...I think something terrible must have happened. I hope our friends are okay."

"I don't smell any monsters, so it can't be that."

"Let's go check on them.", said Erza.

Suddenly, the doors to the palace suddenly opened, revealing to be a giant snow monster with Anna, Kristoff, and Olaf in its hands.

"What the hell is that?", asked Gajeel.

"Um, it looks like a giant snow monster with no eyes and teeth.", answered Laxus.

"Stop!", shouted Anna. "Put us down!"

"Go away!", said the monster as it threw Anna and Kristof onto the ground.

"Hey stop!", shouted Lucy as she, Wendy, Happy, and Charle came out and ran after Anna and Kristoff.

"Lucy, where's Natsu?", asked Erza.

"Still inside!"

"Heads up!", shouted Olaf as the monster threw Olaf's head at a rock. "Watch out for my butt!" The rest of Olaf's pieces were also thrown at the rock, making the others duck.

"Hey!", said an angry Anna as she grab some snow and made a snowball. "It is not nice to throw people!"

Kristoff immediately got up and grab Anna. "Whoa-whoa-whoa, feisty-pants."

"Let me go!"

"Okay, relax. Just calm down. Calm down."

"Okay! All right! I'm okay." Anna then turned. "I'm calm."

"Great."

But, Anna immediately turn around and threw the snowball.

"Huh? Oh, come on!"

The snowball hit the monster on the shoulder, making it really angry by making snow icicle spikes come out of its body.

"Aw, see? Now you made him mad.", said an annoyed Kristoff.

"I'll distract him. You guys go!", said Olaf. The rest of Olaf's body got off of the rock and ran after Anna and Kristoff. "No,no. Not you guys!" His head then fell off of the rock. "This just got a whole lot harder."

"We can buy you some time!", said Sora as he and the others came towards Olaf.

The monster came up towards the group and roar at them, making them (except Erza, Gajeel, Laxus, and Lily) froze out of fear.

"We should start running.", said a nervous Lucy.

They then started to ran away and scream.

"Lead the monster away from Anna and Kristoff!", said Erza.

"Right!", shouted everyone.

Meanwhile, Olaf's parts came back in the wrong order and grabbed Olaf's head.

"Wait for me!", he said as he ran after Anna and Kristoff.

The group continued to run towards the edge of the mountain while the monster chases after them.

"How long are we doing this?", asked Lucy.

"I don't know!", answered Gajeel.

"Until we find a way to defeat this thing!", said Laxus.

"Huh? Where's Goofy?", wondered a worried Sora.

"Look over there!", said Wendy.

They all saw Goofy near a tree that is so covered in snow that its leaning towards the ground.

"Hey, Sora! I got an idea!", yelled Goofy.

"Goofy, what are you doing?", asked Donald.

"Oh! That's perfect!", said Sora as he ran towards Goofy.

"Huh? Hey!"

Seeing the monster coming, Goofy grab the top of the branch and pulled it off of the ground, causing Goofy to go up into the air until Sora grabbed his waste with his arms. Sora pulled Goofy down and waited until the monster came close.

"Get ready…", said Sora as he held onto Goofy. "Okay, now!"

Goofy let go of the branch and it sprung up, making Sora and Goofy fall. The branch hit the monster, making it fall to the ground.

"Oh, yeah!", said Sora as he and Goofy hive fived each other.

"Nice work!", said Lucy.

"He's not done…", said Donald who was holding his staff.

The monster got up and face the group.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Hey, big snowy marshmallow!"

The monster turned and saw Natsu running towards him.

"You're gonna pay from throwing my friends!", he said as he ignited his fist. "Snow monster fight!"

"Yeah!", said Sora. "Bring it, snowball!"
