Their mission to find the truth had been put on hold in favor of finding Olaf. But even now, after quite a bit of searching, they still didn't see any sign of him. Amongst the Autobots, Ultra Magnus was least pleased with the change in objective.
"And what could have possibly compelled them to bring that native?" He asked the other Autobots.
"Believe me, Ultra Magnus. No one wonders more than I." Said Ratchet.
"All this legwork is giving me itchy fists!" Bulkhead blurted out as he punched his fists together in an attempt to change the subject in case everyone else they were supposed to protect could hear them.
A few minutes passed, but Olaf was still nowhere to be found.
Bumblebee beeped. ("It could take days to find him in all this!")
"Like trying to find a servo in a scrap yard!" Added Bulkhead.
Ratchet turned to Bulkhead.
"We're wasting our time." He said.
Just as Bulkhead and Ratchet started walking in the opposite direction, however, the wind started blowing, and Wheeljack's sensors picked something up.
"Hang on there, Doc. Our boy's just up ahead."
"How do you know?" Asked Ratchet.
Suddenly, Olaf yelled out.
"Olaf!" Cried Anna as they spotted a gray tornado, really the Wind Spirit. Olaf laughed from within it as it started heading towards them. Wheeljack took out a pair of twin swords as it did.
"Fall back!" Ordered Optimus Prime.
But before any of them could run away, it passed through the group, pulling Anna, Elsa, Kristoff, Sven, and half the Autobots into it. Arcee, Bulkhead, Smokescreen and Ultra Magnus, the half of the Autobots who weren't pulled in, were tossed through the air before they all hit the ground. Bulkhead quickly recovered and looked forward as the tornado raced away.
"We gotta get the kids out of there!" He said as he ran toward it while the other three Autobots recovered at their own rate.
Inside the tornado, Bumblebee, Optimus, Ratchet, Wheeljack, and the rest of the group were constantly, violently blown around.
"Hey guys! Meet the Wind Spirit!" Yelled Olaf.
"Coming through!" Shouted Kristoff.
"Oh, I think I'm gonna be sick!" Proclaimed Anna as she put her hands over her mouth.
"I'd hold your hair back, but I can't find my arms!" Said Olaf, who's arms were inexplicably stuck in the back of his head. In a reverse-scenario, Sven ended up riding Kristoff.
Bumblebee beeped. ("Elsa! Over there!")
Elsa looked forward and gasped as a branch came flying right towards Anna. Bumblebee was taken higher into the air, so he deployed his arm blasters and shot it right as Elsa blasted it with her ice magic, sending it flying out of the tornado. One of Wheeljack's swords was sent flying straight towards him, but he batted it away with his other one. The Wind Spirit then investigated Elsa up close.
"Hey! Stop!" Said Elsa.
Suddenly, everyone except Elsa and Optimus was dropped out of the tornado, which then shrank into a rapidly rotating, airborne ball. As Olaf and Sven collapsed, Ratchet was thrown against a rock while Wheeljack brushed some debris off his shoulder. Bumblebee was then thrown into a tree, where he fell down.
"Elsa!" Called Anna.
When it became apparent that the wind spirit wasn't gonna let them go, Optimus deployed twin blasters over his hands as Elsa's hands started glowing. Back on ground level, Ultra Magnus deployed twin blasters of his own and ran forward as he aimed them at the Wind Spirit, but Arcee and Bulkhead blocked him.
"No!" Called Ratchet.
"Don't shoot!" Said Arcee.
Bumblebee beeped. ("You might hit Elsa or Optimus!")
"Let her go!" Anna yelled, almost at the top of her lungs.
The vortex fell to the ground as Elsa blasted it with her ice magic from both her hands and Optimus rapidly blasted it with his blasters, making part of it glow blue. Right outside, things started getting even more dangerous as the wind sent leaves, dust, and pieces of magic and blaster bolts flying towards the bystanders.
"Optimus, retreat!" Pleaded Arcee.
"Now!" Added Bulkhead.
Despite the evident danger, Anna pushed herself to the circular wind vortex.
"Anna! Be careful!" Shouted Kristoff.
"That's my sister!" Shouted Anna as she pushed herself even closer. Ultra Magnus saw what she was doing and did not approve in the slightest.
"Are your circuits impaired, Soldier?" He calmly demanded.
As Elsa and Optimus battled the Wind Spirit from within, flashes of the past started appearing before them. Optimus held fire as he and Elsa watched them as they formed, fascinated. A girl laughing. A younger version of Agnarr.
"Prince Agnarr!" Called a guard.
A sword swung with some intimidating growling. King Runeard appeared.
"For Arendelle."
After seeing her grandfather, Elsa pushed harder as Optimus resumed firing.
People yelled and screamed.
"Look out!"
"Father!"
Just as Elsa and Optimus pushed themselves pushed themselves harder than ever, the tornado finally dissipated. Random ice statues appeared where it once was, surrounding them. Optimus retracted his blasters.
"How epic was that?!" Asked Smokescreen.
"That's why he's Prime!" Said Wheeljack.
Bulkhead walked backwards, facing the others as he observed the immediate surrounding area. The Wind Spirit appeared to have vanished.
"Perimeter secured." He said.
Anna rushed toward Elsa.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
The others noticed the random ice statues.
"What are these?" Asked Kristoff.
"Doorstops? Shavers? Bling? Beats me." Said Smokescreen.
"Oh, they look like moments in time." Claimed Elsa.
"What's that thing you say, Olaf?" Asked Anna.
Olaf was in the middle of holding his hands over a frozen campfire ice memory when he heard Anna's question.
"The thing... Oh! My theory about advancing technologies as both our savior and our doom?"
"No, not that one. The one about..."
"The one about cucumbers?"
"No, the thing about water."
"Oh, yeah. Water has memory."
"We know." Said Arcee.
"Yes, yes, yes." Added Ratchet.
Bumblebee beeped. ("I remember you telling us.")
"The water that makes up you and me has passed through at least four humans and or animals before us."
Sven spat out the water he was drinking and Elsa cringed in disgust while Anna just kinda accepted it.
"And remembers everything."
The Wind Spirit returned and hoisted Sven into the air.
"The wind's back! I think I'll name you Gale." Said Olaf.
Gale then went through Kristoff's shirt and vest.
"Get outta there! Whoa!"
"Oh!" Said Anna as Gale started investigating her up close.
"Hi." Said Elsa.
"Aren't you curious?" Said Anna as Gale threw her travel cloak over her head. Elsa chuckled as it then blew her braid over her face, making it look like she had a mustache.
"You in a better mood now?" Asked Elsa.
"A minor victory, and not the one we are here to achieve." Ratchet pointed out.
Gale then blew towards another ice statue memory, of a young girl holding a young Agnarr.
"Who's this guy?" Asked Wheeljack as Anna and Elsa took a closer look at it.
"Father. That's Father!" Said Anna.
"This girl." Said Elsa as she closely observed the statue.
"She's saving him." Said Olaf.
"She's Northuldra." Added a confused Kristoff.
