As they walked through the mist, which left a hollow opening for them to walk through, Sven made a noise that made it clear that he didn't like it.
"It's okay." Said Kristoff.
"Did you know that an enchanted forest is a place of transformation? I have no idea what that means, but I can't wait to see what it's gonna do to each one of us." Said Olaf.
No sooner had the three humans looked at each other thoroughly worried than a sudden invisible force made the back of the hollow opening in the mist push against them, forcing all of them forward. It didn't stop until they were all on the other side of it, Olaf and half the Autobots falling over.
"What was that?" Asked Kristoff.
Bulkhead, Bumblebee, Optimus and Ratchet all got back up on their feet.
"Wha- what just happened?" Asked Bulkhead.
"I can't be certain." Said Ratchet.
Olaf tried to run back in, only to get thrown out again. As he repeated the process over and over again, Anna tried messing with the mist, but no luck.
"No. No, no, no."
Elsa shot a blast of her ice magic into it, only for it to get shot back at her, missing her by just a few inches. She and Anna both gasped.
As they realized that they were trapped in the forest, something small and quick observed them from afar.
"And we're locked in. Probably should have seen that one coming." Said Anna.
Elsa turned around and gasped as she took in their new surroundings.
"This forest is beautiful."
"Ooh!" Said Olaf as he stopped running into the mist and turned around with everyone else.
The forest was indeed quite beautiful. The group started looking around the area.
"Cozy little place. Finding the truth here may take a while." Said Smokescreen.
"Fan out?" Asked Arcee.
"We have no choice but to play this old school. Split into teams, for maximum coverage." Said Ultra Magnus.
"On it, Chief." Said Wheeljack.
Upon hearing Ultra Magnus's command, everyone started spreading out. The Autobots split into four duos: Arcee and Wheeljack, Bulkhead and Smokescreen, Bumblebee and Optimus, and Ratchet and Ultra Magnus.
"I will search this quadrant." Said Optimus as he and Bumblebee headed out in one direction.
"Just keep the sight seeing to a minimum, huh." Said Bulkhead.
"Indeed. We don't know if your journey ahead is five clicks or five thousand." Said Ratchet.
As Anna investigated one area, she found King Runeard's dam in the distance. Kristoff, Arcee and Wheeljack entered the same area and saw the same thing.
"The dam. It still stands." Said Anna.
"Some things never change." Said Wheeljack.
"It was in Grand Pabbie's visions. But why?" Asked Anna.
"I don't know, but it's still in good shape, thank goodness." Said Kristoff.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, if that dam broke, it would send a tidal wave so big, it would wash away everything on this fjord."
"Everything? But Arendelle's on this fjord."
"Nothing's gonna happen to Arendelle, Anna. It's gonna be fine. Come here." Said Kristoff as they hugged.
Kristoff looked over Anna's shoulder and saw Sven waving one of his front hooves. Knowing exactly what he meant, Kristoff cleared his throat and reached into his vest.
"You know, under different circumstances, this would be a... very romantic place. Wouldn't you think?"
"Different circumstances? You mean, like with someone else?"
"What? No! No, I'm saying..." He stopped to clear his throat again. "just in case we don't make it out of here-"
"Wait, what? You don't think we're gonna make it out of here?"
"No. No! I mean, no, we will make it out of here. Well, technically, the odds are kinda complicated..."
Sven cringed and shook his head in disapproval as he, Arcee and Wheeljack watched the verbal disaster unfold. Whatever hope Wheeljack might have had that things would go better than last time vanished like a single melting snowflake.
"Oh scrap." Said the Wrecker.
"Come on, smooth operator. Wrap it up!" Said Arcee.
"... in case we die..."
As if he hit a button that triggered an instant reaction, Anna grabbed Kristoff by the collar of his shirt.
"You think we're gonna die?!"
"No! No, no, no. We will die at some point-"
"Where's Elsa? I swore that I wouldn't leave her side!"
"Not in any recent time will we die."
"Elsa!"
"But way far in the future, we will die!"
Anna had already left the scene. Kristoff silently admitted defeat to himself as the three witnesses approached him. Wheeljack shook his head "no" a single time as he crossed his arms in disapproval. Sven started making a noise, but Kristoff stopped him by putting a hand on his mouth.
"Don't patronize me."
"Really? That's your biggest issue right now?" Asked Arcee.
Meanwhile, in an area a fair distance away, Elsa continued wandering through the forest, still marveling at its natural beauty. Bulkhead and Smokescreen were not far behind, observing the same area with their cannons drawn should anything dangerous show itself.
"Stay close. Stay focused." Said Bulkhead.
"Gotcha!" Said Smokescreen.
"I mean it!"
"Me too!"
"Sh!"
A mysterious chirping sound in the distance caught their attention. Elsa looked around, but didn't find a visible source for the noise. As she did, something invisible rushed toward her and the two Autobots, completely undetected.
"Elsa!" Called Anna as she ran down a hill and entered the area. The invisible being flew past them, completely unnoticed.
"There you are. You okay?"
"I'm fine." Said Elsa.
"Okay, good. Where's Olaf?"
Elsa glanced in both directions, but he was nowhere to be found. Recalling where Kristoff and Sven were, Anna realized that they had completely lost track of the snowman.
