Hi everyone, thank you again for your patience. Happy early Christmas to all of you, here is your present, the final chapter to this short but incredible story. I was really nervous going into this story, finding the right way to balance the movie and the second half of Season 4, as well as trying to make it stand out and not feel like a 'copy and paste' thing. And I am glad it turned out so well, and I am so grateful for all your support. Though this story was shorter compared to my other ones, I am quite proud of how well it's done. So, thank you once again for everything, but sadly this story must now come to an end. With that being said, let the ending begin

Hajimari

People of all shapes and sizes had gathered in on the hilltop that laid just outside of Arendelle, the very same place where two large gravestones had been placed for Iduna and Agnarr some time ago, and now a third person was being laid to rest here. The ground in-between the two grave slowly split apart, thanks to the Earth Spirit, Fuji, as Elsa used her powers to slowly place the ice coffin containing the body of Hamato Yoshi into the ground before Fuji closed it. Elsa then turned to see all who had gathered here to pay respects to the great master she had come to know and love.

It wasn't just the entire populace of Arendelle, or even just Marshmallow who came down from the Mountains with all the tiny snowmen, as well as the Trolls led by Grand Pabbie and the recently liberated Northuldra with the various reindeer, including Mattias, Kai, Ryder, Honeymaren, and Yelena; but several people and mutants from New York had come as well. Casey Jones, who had Chompy Picasso on his shoulder, April O'Neil standing by her father Kirby O'Neil, Slash, Leatherhead, Pigeon Pete, Mondo Gecko, Dr. Rockwell, Muckman, Metalhead, who had Dr. Cluckingsworth sitting on his head, Shinigami carried a bowl with Ice Cream Kitty sitting inside, even Jack Kurtzman and Murakami had come along with the mutant sparrow Malachi, and even the un-mutated Pulverizer, real name being Timothy. Even the mutant frogs led by Napoleon, Attila, Genghis, and Rasputin had come to pay their respects, and it was not just them. Cosmic allies across space had also come including Professor Honeycutt; the Utrom Council consisting of Bishop, Pawn, Rook, and Queen; along with the Salamandrians Sal Commander and Mona Lisa, even Zura and Zeno from the Triceratons, and even the time-traveling Renet all stood together. Well over hundreds of people were gathered.

Elsa stood in the middle of the small group in front of the tombstones. On her right was Leonardo, who held her hand, with Raphael, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Karai. On her left, Anna held her hand along with Kristoff, Sven, and Olaf. The Queen of Arendelle took a deep breath before walking forward to deliver the eulogy.

"Hamato Yoshi, was many things in his life." She began. "To nearly everyone here, he was an honorable warrior, fighting till the last to protect all that was innocent and all he held dear. To those who knew him personally, he was a friend and a teacher, who would not only teach others how to defend themselves, but even understand honor and to know what is right from wrong. But, to a select few, he was more than just that… he was… a father. A father who had shown nothing but love and compassion to all around him, even those who weren't of his blood. He welcomed them into his home, helped to guide those who thought themselves lost and unable to find a place in their world. But despite every reason… that many of us, myself included, felt to doubting themselves… he saw only the best in us, and encouraged us to see it ourselves, despite what others might think. He taught many things, but his most important lesson was that we are who we choose to be, we decide our own fate, our own destiny. Though he may no longer be among us, his lessons, his teachings, his legacy, lives on in all of us, so long as we don't forget. As long as we live our lives to the fullest, living them the way we choose to, we will forever honor his memory."

Elsa turned around to wave her hands and create a large ice sculpture of Master Splinter that stood tall and proud, carrying his cane. But she didn't just stop with him, standing alongside the ice sculpture of Splinter were those of Agnarr and Iduna. The three ice sculptures would forever stand in this spot, never melting even in the hottest of days.

"Rest in peace, Hamato Yoshi, King Agnarr, Queen Iduna, know that your legacies of wisdom, understanding, and love live in on each and every one of us."

After the proceedings were finished; all those gathered went to mingle in the surrounding area, several even went into the kingdom of Arendelle for the same purpose. All the soldiers that had returned from the Enchanted Forest had met up with old friends and loved ones for touching reunions.

Raph appeared to sit by himself as the Fire Spirit, Bruni, got acquainted with Chompy Picasso. Bruni scurried up to Chompy to sniff him a bit and look at him curiously. Chompy then gave a fire-burp into Bruni's face, which seemed to excite the Fire Spirit who then ran around Chompy, creating a ring of pink fire before lying down on his back to smile at Chompy, who gave an excited squeal. Raph chuckled at all this levity.

"So, this is the Fire Spirit of this world." Mona Lisa said as she approached Raph and sat down next to him.

"Yep, but don't let his size fool ya. Bruni packs some serious heat, no pun intended." The red-clad Turtle replied.

Mona Lisa offered her hand to Bruni, who looked up before scurrying into her hand and up her arm straight to her shoulders. Even a hardened alien warrior like Mona Lisa couldn't help but laugh at this.

"Thanks for coming Mona, I really appreciate it." Raph said sincerely as he took Chompy into his hands.

Mona's smile faded slightly. "My deepest condolences for your loss, Raphael." She said, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder. "I may not have known your father, the only time I interacted with him was during our battle against the Triceratons on your world. But even then, I could tell he was an honorable warrior, one worthy of the highest form of respect."

"Yeah, Master Splinter was something." Raph said reminiscently. "He was always strict, especially with me, and I definitely deserved it. I always let my temper get the better of me, and I know I still got a lot to work on. But he never gave up on me. He always told me what I was capable of if I could control my anger, give it form, make it my weapon. And he was right. He was the best father a Turtle could ask for, and I wouldn't wish it any other way."

Mona Lisa nodded with respect. "I can say one thing about your father, he raised a strong and mighty son."

Raph smiled as he stood up straight as he put Chompy on his shoulder. "I'm gonna keep fighting, I'm gonna stand up for those who can't, and I'm gonna make sure that he made the right choice in teaching me everything he did, and that I didn't waste his time."

"A fine way to honor his memory." Mona stood by his side as Bruni placed himself on her shoulder as well. "And whenever you have need for me, be it as a fellow warrior on the battlefield, or a lover to simply be by your side, I will be there Raphael. Always."

"I know you will. Thank you, Mona Lisa." Raph turned to her as the pair looked into each other's eyes before they pressed their noses against each other. Bruni then leapt and spun in the air to create a pink flame that took the shape of a heart before Chompy shot a burp of his own flame through it like an arrow.

Donnie sat on a cliffside, overlooking Arendelle as an Earth Giant walked and stood beside him. It smiled toward Donnie, nudging him with its finger, causing Donnie to chuckle.

"Hey D." He turned around to see April approaching him and sat down next to him. "Ya know, if this giant were evil, we'd have a total 'Jack-and-the-Beanstalk' type deal. You'd be smart enough to find a way to take it down."

"Yeah, guess it's a good thing he's not evil, right Fuji." Donnie smiled up to the Earth Giant, who smiled and nodded back. "How are you holding up? Your powers, I mean without the crystal?" He asked April.

"Doing alright." April said. "I had Professor Honeycutt look me over to be sure. No trace of Za-Naron left inside. Think I'm gonna get control of my powers from now on, but I'll try not to always rely on them. It's what he would have wanted." Her smile faded. "Donnie I… I'm so sorry. He was like a father to me too. He taught me so much and… even after me blaming all of you for what happened to my dad… he still welcomed me into his home."

"Well, that whole mess was still our fault, so I don't blame you for being mad." Donnie said. "But that's all in the past. And you're right about what he would have wanted from us. He always told me that I shouldn't always rely on just my mind, I need to use my instincts too. So, that's what I'm going to do. I'll make myself into a warrior that's strong in mind and body, like the mountain."

April smiled. "I'm sure you can do it; I know you're capable. And I'll help you every step of the way." She stood up and offered him her hand, which he took with a smile.

"Thanks, April."

Suddenly, two large stone fingers from the nearby Earth Giant pressed them both closer together, causing them to grab hold of each other and avoid falling. They glanced up to the Stone Giant who looked at them with a smile as a heart-shape hole formed in its chest. Both Donnie and April's cheeks turned red.

Mikey and Olaf stood by the riverbed as Neptune arrived, but neither the Turtle nor the snowman spoke to it. But they still smiled as Mikey petted Neptune across its watery mane, with Olaf giving him a hug across its front legs.

"The Nokk has taking quite a liking to you two." Honeymaren said as she walked toward them, with Ryder and Shinigami right beside her.

"Yeah, Neptune's a real chill dude." Mikey said.

"Hey, Honeymaren, didn't you say that the Water Spirit can see into a person's heart?" Olaf asked.

"I did say that." She confirmed. "The Nokk has the ability to see whether or not your heart is true, and it's safe to say that it sees that for both of you."

"Considering the Nokk practically merged with you, Mikey, I think your heart is probably the most true it ever met." Ryder added.

"Awe, thanks guys." Mikey gushed, and later laughed as Neptune brushed its face against Mikey's.

Shinigami chuckled with a shake of her head. "You may not the be the brightest Turtle, Michelangelo. But you are the most noble."

"Really?" Mikey asked in surprise.

"Yes." Shinigami confirmed with a nod. "You never back down from a fight. You're always there to help those you care for, and when you make a mistake, you're always the first to try and fix it. I'll admit, I didn't think much of you when we first met. But… you've always been there for Karai, who's been my closest friend since childhood. So let me thank you for that. You're a good person, or Turtle, but you know what I mean."

Mikey blushed at her praise and almost felt his own heart flutter.

"Aw." Olaf gushed.

"And Olaf… you're not that different either." Shinigami began as she kneeled to his level. "You're no fighter, but like Mikey here, you're always there for those you care for. You're a kind and gentle soul, and the world could certainly use more people like you."

Olaf smiled so emotionally that he wrapped his stick-arms around Shinigami in a surprise hug. Though she didn't return the hug, she did pat his head slightly.

"Michelangelo…" Honeymaren approached him first. "We're sorry… for your loss."

"Your father was a good man." Ryder added. "I wish we had more time to get to know him."

Mikey's smile didn't fade, but he still had a sad look in his eyes. "Thanks guys. But… I think it's gonna be okay. Master Splinter wouldn't want us to be too down in the dumps. Don't get me wrong, he was my dad, I loved him, and I'll always miss him. But he'd be the first to say that we have to move forward. Don't get stuck in the past, but learn from it. So, I'll keep going forward. I'll keep being there for all my friends and family, and keep looking to the future with them."

"Sounds like a plan." Honeymaren said with a nod and a smile.

Karai appeared to be by herself, gazing down at the black ice Kuro Kabuto in her hands, all that remained of the Shredder. She didn't look at the relic in hate or anger, but rather deep in thought. It was almost hard to tell what she was thinking of.

"Karai…" Her attention was caught by Mattias who arrived with an gray-haired dark-skinned woman by his side. "I'd like you to meet Halima. She's an old… friend." He said, somewhat nervously as Halima looked at him with a cocked smile and eyebrow. Karai easily figured out what he was implying.

"Right, just a friend, huh?"

"Young lady, I wanted to thank you and your brothers for helping to look after him, and bringing him back home." Halima offered Karai her hand to shake, which Karai accepted as she stood up and put the Kuro Kabuto down and smiled as she shook her hand.

"No problem. He's a good man." Karai said, smiling to Mattias, who smiled with a nod.

Halima's smile faded, however. "And I am sorry for your loss."

Karai's smile was next to fade. "Thank you."

"Your father was a good man." Mattias told Karai, putting a hand on her shoulder. "It may have been brief, but I was honored to know him. I know how it feels to lose a father." Karai said nothing but gave a small nod and a smile in return. Mattias then noticed the helmet on the ground. "Any particular reason you still have that?"

Karai then reached down to pick up the Kuro Kabuto and looked at her own reflection in the black ice. "The Foot's a part of my past that I can't erase. And this helmet didn't always belong to Shredder, it's been the symbol of the Foot clan since its founding for fifteen hundred years. I've been thinking about this for a while, and I've decided to rebuild the Foot; bring honor back to a clan that the Shredder poisoned with his hatred and vendetta for almost two decades."

"Sounds like quite a task, I doubt it'll be easy." Halima said.

"Far from it." Karai replied. "But nothing worth having ever is."

"Words to live by." Mattias smiled. "And I know just what you mean. After learning the truth about what Runeard did, I want to make amends with Yelena and the Northuldra. I want to help establish true peace between Arendelle and the Enchanted Forest, like what Agnarr would have wanted. What Elsa and Anna want."

Karai looked toward him with a genuine smile. "That sounds good to me. One redeemer to another, good luck." She offered her hand to shake, which Mattias took without a second thought. "I didn't know your father, but I think he'd be proud of you."

"Thank you. Your father would be proud of you as well."

While most of the people in the area had cleared out or remained a reasonable distance from the tombstones and statues of Splinter and her parents, Anna remained staring up at the ice sculptures.

"We did it." She spoke, hoping that her parents and Master Splinter could somehow hear her. "Mom, Dad, Sensei… we freed the Forest, saved Arendelle… again, and even… taken down the worst possible enemy we could ever face." She said in an emotional tone. "I only wish… that you would all be here to see it. To see what we've built and what we're going to build…" Tears of joy filled her eyes. "But even though you're no longer with us… I know the three of you are watching down from Heaven."

"I'm sure they are." Kristoff walked up, putting his arm around Anna, which she leaned into without hesitation. "Ya know, Anna there's been something I've been meaning to ask you for a while."

"What is it?" Anna asked.

"Well… at first, I've wanted to do it in the best way… I even asked Master Splinter for advice and... he said to just keep it simple." Kristoff began. "And with everything that happened in the Forest, I thought it be best to wait till we got out. But… I wasn't sure at first now, given… what we've lost to get here." He said, looking down slightly before picking himself back up. "But, I also know that he would want me to go for it, despite this. He'd want all of us to live to the fullest and I intend to… with you."

"Kristoff…"

"Anna…" He got down on one knee. "Out of all the fantastic people I've met in my entire life, you are the most extraordinary person I've ever known. I love you with all I am." He reached into his shirt and pulled out the ring. "Will you marry me?"

Anna placed both her hands over her mouth as more tears of joy filled her eyes. "Yes!" She exclaimed in an emotional sob before running into Kristoff's arms as they both cried and laugh.

They both then heard cries and cheers, followed by applauses as they turned around to see Sven and all the Trolls gathered around them, even the Mutanimals as they clapped, cheered, cried, or all three at once.

"That's my boy!" Bulda cried and cheered as Grand Pabbie gave a nod of approval. Sven laughed as he ran up to hug both.

"You're stuck with us now, Anna!" Sven squeezed them close as they continued to laugh and cry.

"Wouldn't have it any other way…." Anna said in a comic wince, as Sven's grip was rather tight.

Elsa and Leo both stood together on a cliffside that oversaw not only where the funeral was held, but also Arendelle and the vast ocean ahead of it. From their position, the two could see and hear Kristoff's proposal to Anna, which made Elsa quite emotional as Leo put his hand over hers.

"I'm happy for those two." Leo said before a fliting look formed on his face. "Maybe in a little bit, we might do something similar."

Elsa looked at him with a teasing grin and smile. "Pretty sure you'd botch the first attempt at proposal."

They both shared a small laugh as they looked further out into the horizon. Gale blew around the pair, carrying a whistle as a small wind formed around them to push the pair closer together.

"It feels weird… with Shredder being gone. I mean, I'd always hoped it would happen and we wouldn't have to deal with him anymore. But… because of everything that he put us through, we came out stronger. I mean, I'm not glad he did all of it, but… I don't regret anything."

"Yeah, neither do I." Elsa agreed. "And he isn't the only demon from our past that we've faced. We've all gone through so much, alone and together. Me accepting and embracing my powers, you and your brothers' and all your battles, all our battles together against the Foot, Kraang, Triceratons, and so many others… so much has happened and… we've all learned and grew from it, made many new friends and allies. Despite everything, even all the bad things that might have happened… I wouldn't change it for anything."

"Well… we might not be completely done yet." Leo said. "I spoke with Bishop and the rest of the Utrom. They were able to de-mutate Stockman and turn him back to normal. But even with the Utrom helping the Northuldra to search the Enchanted Forest, they couldn't find Tiger Claw, Xever, or Bebop and Rocksteady. So… the Foot's not quite done yet."

"Knowing our luck, we'll run into them sooner or later." Elsa said. "But look at we did accomplish, not just defeating Shredder. We've freed the Forest… learned so much about my powers and my parents' past… but I think I've also learned something about myself that I didn't know before. You remember what I told you, before we went into the Enchanted Forest?"

"Yeah… you said you were unsure of where you were meant to be." Leo recalled. "That even though you love Arendelle, you felt you were meant to be somewhere else."

"I spoke to Master Splinter about it. In fact, it was the last thing we spoke of together before…" Elsa gave a small sigh before continuing. "I pretty much fell in love with the Enchanted Forest the second we set foot in it. And… the thought of me staying there crossed my mind, but it would also involve me leaving Arendelle. Or at least, that's what I thought. Master Splinter told me, that Arendelle and the Enchanted Forest are connected to each other, as all things are. The world, both our worlds, in fact, I think all worlds are connected. Look at all of this." She gestured down below where countless different beings interacted with one another. "Not just the people of the Arendelle and the Northuldra, but we have people from your world, mutants and aliens… and they all get along. I kept thinking of Arendelle and the Forest as separate, but they're not. Anna and I are Arendellian and Northuldran, we both, not one or the other. Just as the four elements are connected to each other through life itself, all of us are connected to each other through the bonds we've forged, bonds of friendship and love." A peaceful smile formed on her face. "I know who I am, and I don't belong to any one place. The Enchanted Forest and Arendelle are both my home, but so is New York."

"Home is where your heart is." Leo seemed to get it. "And that doesn't always mean one place. I've considered Arendelle a second home along with New York too. So, I think I understand. I know what you mean… and I'm glad you were able to figure it out."

"But… I can't exactly be Queen in that circumstance." Elsa said. "Which means… I'd have to ask Anna. But…" Now she was starting to seem a bit unsure. "I just… don't want her to feel like I'm forcing anything on her or… that I'm running away again."

"So why not just ask me yourself?"

Both turned around in surprise to not only see Anna standing behind them, but also Kristoff, Sven, Olaf, Raph, Donnie, Mikey, Karai, April, and Casey.

"How long have you guys been standing there?" Leo questioned.

"Long enough, bro." Raph answered.

"We were gonna tell you about me and Anna but…" Kristoff began. "It seems like you've already picked it up."

"Congratulations, by the way." Leo quickly said. "Can't wait for the wedding"

"Me neither! I love weddings!" Olaf cheered.

"How many weddings have you actually been to, Olaf?" April asked playfully.

"None at all!" Olaf said with a wide grin. "But that's what'll make it all the more exciting! My first wedding!"

The group laughed slightly before Elsa stood up and took her sister's hands. "Anna… I just want you to know… this decision I'm making isn't on a whim."

"Not unlike what happened with a certain prince." Raph teased, causing Karai to elbow him and pulled him away.

"I've been thinking about this long and hard." Elsa continued. "Not just because of how I feel. I wouldn't do this if I didn't know you couldn't handle the responsibility. But you are the heart of Arendelle, a bridge has two sides to it, and our parents had two daughters."

Anna smiled lovingly at her elder sister. "It's okay Elsa, you don't have to explain it to me. You were amazing as queen, and if you think I'm cut out for the job, then I'll give it my best shot."

"Don't worry, you won't be handling it by yourself." Donnie said as he stepped up. "We're all here to help."

"Dude, Kristoff." Mikey put his arm around his shoulder. "This means you're gonna be a king!"

"From ice-carver to King of Arendelle, not a bad promotion I'd say." Sven added.

Kristoff smiled anxiously. "Well… here's hoping I don't accidentally declare war on another country or something."

"Pretty sure your wife would beat you before you ever did." Karai teased.

"Yes, I would." Anna added, causing the group to laugh even more before they stood together and looked out to the horizon, the sun shining brightly above them all.

"So, what happens now?" Donnie asked.

"Well, I'm pretty sure there'll be plenty of enemies waiting to take Shredder's place." Anna assumed.

"Tiger Claw won't be the only one." Karai added. "I can think of handful of people in the Foot that won't be happy with how things are."

"And who's to say it'll be the Foot?" Kristoff said. "It could be something new, like more aliens."

"Or even something completely different." Sven added.

"Hey, did you guys know that when a big bad guy is defeated, it creates a power vacuum?" Olaf told them. "Which means other bad guys are gonna rise up to fill it."

"Yeah, we already know that much Olaf." Casey responded.

"But that also means the same is true for the good guys." Olaf continued. "When an evil rises, good will rise up against it. Like yin-and-yang; wherever evil exists, good will be there to stop it."

The group looked down at Olaf with surprised yet proud smiles. "You know what Olaf? You're absolutely right." Anna nodded. "There may always be a darkness to fight, but a light will shine brightly to face it."

"Yep, bring on the next big bad!" Raph punched his fist into his palm.

"Whatever evil emerges, we'll be ready! Cause we're awesome!" Mikey exclaimed.

"Your darn right we are, Mikey." Elsa nodded with a smile as she held Leo's hand. "And no matter what kind of evil we face in the future…"

"We'll face it together." Leo finished, looking up toward the sky. "Right, Sensei?"

As they all looked toward the bright sky in the horizon, looking toward the future with bright smiles and iron-clad willpower; the spirits of Hamato Yoshi, King Agnarr and Queen Iduna would forever be watching over them, forever looking down from heaven with pride, hope, and love.

The End.

And with that, another chapter of my Frozen Turtles series has come to a close. Once again, I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your support throughout this incredible journey. But, this isn't the end of Frozen Turtles entirely, there will be more adventures for them to undertake in the future, as well as more foes to fight and friends to make. Their journey still continues.

But now that I'm finished with this story, I'm going to be taking a break from everything Ninja Turtle related with my stories; that includes my Worlds Collide series. I plan to get back into my Avengers of the Multiverse series that has been on hiatus since October of last year. But don't worry, I plan to get back into this soon. I'm actually planning a mega-crossover between Frozen Turtles and Worlds Collide to serve as a finale for all my Ninja Turtle works, but we are still a long way away from that.

Thanks again for everything. Now, go enjoy the Holidays with your friends and family. I love you all.

Booyakasha!
