A group of shadow knights surrounded Korra with their swords pointed at her. Korra responded by circling while controlling the air around her to form a tornado that sent the shadow knights flying.

After that, she saw a pair of shadow knights approaching her with their swords held high. Taking advantage of the terrain, Korra pushed the snow towards them, turned it into liquid and then turned it into ice, locking the knights in it.

Korra ducked in time to avoid a sword cut, except for a few strands of hair. She quickly turned and struck the shadowed knight with a fiery punch that made him disappear like a cloud of smoke.

She then noticed that some shadow knights were coming at her from both sides. Before they could reach her, Korra jumped up and stomped hard on the ground as she landed, generating two rock walls on either side. She stretched her arms out to those sides and sent the walls towards the shadow knights who pushed them until then, the walls fell like dominoes, crushing them all.

Elsa raised her arms in the air, sending white magic that formed a giant snowball. With a grunt of effort, she threw the snowball to a group of shadow knights who were heading towards it.

A shadow knight tried to attack her, taking advantage of the moment, but she turned in time and was able to block the blade with a shield of ice. As she blocked the attack, she released one hand and with it created a sword of ice, with which she cut the shadow knight, turning him into smoke.

After she unpacked her ice weapons, she saw another group of knights approaching her. At that moment, Elsa decided to take something out of Korra's book, so she got into position and stretched her fist forward, but what she didn't expect was that, from the fist, a kind of white bullet would come out, which, when it hit the area where the shadow knights were, produced an explosion of ice that froze the enemies around. Elsa was even surprised by the effect, as she looked at her clenched fist.

Kristoff used his axes to cut down any shadow knights who approached him. Suddenly, he was forced to defend himself when a pair of sturdy shadow knights began to attack him. Both enemies raised their swords and Kristoff was able to block them with the blades of his axes. However, he wouldn't last long with rivals of such strength.

Then Sven appeared and pushed both shadow knights out of his friend, cheating them in the process. He didn't seem to notice a shadow knight approaching him from behind, but the reindeer responded with a punch from his hind legs, sending it towards Kristoff who cut it off with his axe.

"Thanks for the help, friend." said Kristoff, grateful to his reindeer brother, who responded with a nod.

A shadow knight tried to attack him from behind, but a sword cut made him disappear. Kristoff turned around and was surprised to see that Anna was responsible with a sword.

"Where did you get the sword?" Kristoff asked.

"Did you really think I would come to a possible confrontation without carrying something to defend myself?" asked Anna with a superior smile.

"Touché." Kristoff said before the couple went back on the attack.

At that moment, Olaf was running from a group of shadow knights. As much as I wanted to help, I had no business being against a group of armed knights. He kept running until he stopped in front of a tree. He turned his back as he trembled with fear at the sight of the shadow knights approaching. But a shadow came over him that made the shadow knights stop.

Olaf looked up and was surprised to see Marshmallow behind him, but unlike when Korra met him, he now wore ice picks on his back, ice claws and ice teeth, all of which gave him a more intimidating appearance. Marshmallow let out a beastly roar before sweeping the shadow knights away with his hand, eliminating them all.

"Marshmallow! What are you doing here?" asked Olaf, happy to see his younger brother.

"Elsa... warn me... I... help... friends." said Marshmallow.

"Sure thing, big guy." said Olaf before he got on the big snowman. "Let's teach them a good lesson." said Olaf, pointing to the front like a knight on a horse. Marshmallow let out another beastly roar before charging at the enemy.

Hans was beginning to lose his smile. He thought that an army of armed knights could take them, even a queen with ice powers, but he didn't expect that the woman who interfered in his plans was so powerful and neither did he expect that Elsa had improved enough in her handling of her powers.

After Elsa froze another group of shadow knight, she set her sights on the former prince. "Game over, Hans!" Elsa said with a scowl.

"You're wrong! It's not over yet!" said Hans losing his smile after a while. He quickly looked through his book until he found the right page. Before Elsa froze him with her powers, Hans managed to recite a spell. "Timoribus vestri somnia et apparebit in conspectu eius."

At that moment, Elsa's world went dark. The queen began to get nervous as she walked through the darkness looking for someone.

"Anna? Kristoff? Olaf? Korra? Where are you?!" asked Elsa nervously as she looked around.

Suddenly, she began to hear whispers from people. She looked in the direction from which the sound probably came and saw a couple of people. As soon as these people saw Elsa looking at them, they began to talk.

"Look. It's her."

"She's the witch."

"Be careful, she can freeze you to death."

Elsa didn't know what was going on. Why were those people insulting her? Hadn't the issue of her powers over people been resolved?

"Mama, I'm afraid."

"Don't worry, daughter. I won't let him hurt you."

"Get out of here, you monster."

"We don't want you among us."

The more she looked around, the more people there were, showing fear or anger towards her, which was making the queen very nervous and worried.

"Stop! I am not a monster! I can handle my powers!" Elsa shouted to the crowd.

"The same way you did on your coronation day? What a ride."

"My family almost froze to death in that storm."

"And you're supposed to be our queen?"

"How will a cursed queen protect us?"

"Stop it! Leave me alone!" shouted Elsa desperately as she covered her ears with her hands and closed her eyes.

"Or what? You'll freeze us with your powers, you cursed witch?"

"No, please. Don't kill us."

"You're not our queen, you're a curse on Arendelle."

"ENOUGH!" cried Elsa in a burst of anger and despair.

Looking around, she saw that people had disappeared, but then she saw something that she thought would cheer the situation up.

"Anna?" asked Elsa, smiling at her sister.

Elsa tried to get closer to her, but Anna recoiled at every step she took as she gave her a face that Elsa never thought she would see, at least not one that was directed at her, a face of fear.

"Don't come any closer!" said Anna taking distance between her and the queen.

"What's the matter, Anna? It's me, Elsa, your sister." said Elsa.

"NO! My sister would never have frozen my heart! You're not my sister! You're a monster!" cried Anna in fear and anger.

Hearing those words from people was painful, but hearing that from her sister was the most painful thing she could hear, more so than what she felt when she thought she had died. She had never felt so much pain as she does now. Tears began to stream from her eyes as she tried to reach out to her sister.

"No. Tell me it's not true. You don't believe that." Elsa said desperately.

"Get away from me!" said Anna before she ran away, blending into the darkness.

Elsa stood there, in shock and with tears running down her face. The one person who brought Elsa joy, whom she loved most in the whole world, had rejected her, branded her a monster, looked at her with fear. She couldn't cope with it and in the end she fell to her knees, crying in desperation, her hands in her eyes.

"I'm sorry! I'm a monster! I'm only hurting you! I don't deserve to be your queen! I don't even deserve to live!" cried Elsa in tears.

"Don't think that." said a voice familiar to her.

Elsa removed her hands from her eyes and raised her head to see Korra in front of her. Seeing her, she thought she would start insulting her or fearing her like the others did.

"Why are you telling me this? Didn't you hear what they said? I'm cursed. I'm a witch." Elsa said.

"Why would I think that?" Korra asked.

"Since I have these powers, I have brought nothing but misfortune to my family and Arendelle's people. I deserve to be called that." said Elsa.

"Listen." said Korra, kneeling in front of her to keep up with her. "You may have done bad things, but that doesn't mean your powers are a curse."

"What do you mean?" Elsa asked.

"It's true that you hurt your sister, but before that happened, you were having a lot of fun with the snow and after you returned to Arendelle, you stopped the storm and saved the kingdom." continued Korra.

"I know, but..." Elsa started.

"But nothing." Korra said, interrupting her. "Like I told you before, you can't let something from the past torment you forever. You have to move on, but not for you, for your sister, for Kristoff, for your friends, for all of Arendelle's people. So, I'll ask you, who are you?"

Elsa let the Avatar's words get into her head. Who was she? Was she a monster who destroyed what was around her? Was she a witch with cursed powers? Was she a queen who had to protect her kingdom? Thousands of questions about that were going around in her mind. She had many answers, but she didn't know which one was right. But then, she remembered the lessons she'd learned from Korra.

"Tell me, Korra." said Elsa, drawing the Avatar's attention.

"What is it?" Korra asked.

"What if someone didn't like your powers? What if they considered you a monster?" Elsa asked curiously.

Korra was surprised that she asked her that.

"Well. It's true that in my world, I'm sort of their guardian and people treat me with respect. But... if that situation happened, I wouldn't care." Korra began by shocking the queen. "What difference does it make what people say about me? I'll continue to defend them even if they don't appreciate what I do. For me, what's important isn't what they say about me, but what I do for them." said Korra.

Elsa smiled as she saw that no matter what the situation, she would still get up and face the problems if it meant helping everyone.

Once Elsa remembered that, she decided what her answer would be. She wiped the tears from her face and stood up with a determined look.

"I don't care what anyone says to me. Let them call me a monster or a witch. I don't care. If they're afraid of me, then I'll show them they shouldn't be." Elsa said as white cracks appeared on the dark stage. "I am Elsa, queen of Arendelle and I will continue to protect my kingdom even if everyone hates or fears me!" when she said the latter, the dark stage broke like glass and the area was covered with a white glow.

Elsa opened her eyes and let out a deep gasp when she returned to reality, as she saw that her friends were still facing the shadow knights.

"Elsa!" said the queen turned to see her sister calling out to her. "What has happened to you? You stood there like a statue for a couple of minutes." said Anna before cutting down another shadow knight with her sword.

The queen was surprised to learn that what she experienced was a kind of illusion, but that wasn't the main thought, but the fact that her sister stood before her with a worried expression.

Although they were in the middle of a battle, Elsa pounced on her sister and embraced her.

"I love you, Anna." Elsa said.

"Eh... Yes, I love you too." said Anna without understanding what was happening.

"No! No! NOOO!" shouted Hans in anger and bewilderment. Elsa and Anna parted to look at him. "How is it possible? That spell would have to make you plunge into despair until you die. How did you get rid of your fears?" asked Hans starting to lose his composure.

"I haven't. I'm still afraid of some of those things, but I'm not going to let something like that mark my life. My actions will speak for me and not what others say." Elsa said seriously to the former prince.

"Is that so?" asked Hans as he leafed through the book. "Well. Let's see if you can get rid of this." said Hans before finding the perfect spell for the occasion. "Launches tenebris, et occidere eum in corde suo."

Suddenly, a shadow spear was thrown at great speed towards Elsa. The situation seemed to be in slow motion. Elsa stared at the spear in surprise and fear as it rushed towards her without having time to use her magic to defend herself. Anna tried to reach her to save her from her possible end.

Moments before the spear reached the queen, Korra managed to push her in time to save her, but the spear came close enough to pierce the Avatar's right shoulder, which she cried out in agony as she felt the wound she left behind. Korra fell to the ground on her back as she held the wound in her shoulder.

"KORRA!" cried Elsa. She quickly ducked to her side. "Korra! Are you all right?" asked Elsa, worried sick about her.

Korra let out a moan of pain before answering. "He. That's what I should be asking you, but don't worry. It's nothing serious." said Korra before moaning in pain again.

Elsa didn't know what to answer, she just focused on the fact that, once again, someone she loved had sacrificed herself to save her. This was similar to when Anna saved her from Hans. Sadness and anger were mixed up inside her, each trying to dominate the other.

"Oh, come on! That woman doesn't know when not to meddle." Hans said without showing any appreciation for human life.

Before he could say anything, he was instantly locked in a block of ice, with only his head and hands outside the block. The book fell from his hands and when that happened, the remaining shadow knights went up in smoke and disappeared.

Anna was surprised when she saw Elsa with one hand stretched out towards Hans and the other holding the wounded Avatar, while she had an annoyed face. "Shut up now!" the queen demanded of the imprisoned former prince before she could focus on her wounded friend again. The others immediately gathered around her.

"We have to get her to a doctor!" Anna said.

"We're too far away from Arendelle. It would take too long." said Kristoff.

"What are we going to do?" asked Olaf.

"I have an idea." said Elsa, drawing the others' attention.

"Really? What?" asked Anna.

"During the training, Korra told me about the healing properties that waterbenders use to heal wounds. Maybe I can do the same with my powers." explained Elsa.

"I guess there's no harm in trying." said Kristoff, liking the queen's plan.

Elsa looked into the Avatar's sore eyes. "This might hurt a little." said Elsa, trying to calm her down.

"Be still. You can do it. I trust you." said Korra showing that she was calm.

Korra pulled her hand away from her shoulder wound. The others grimaced as they saw the wound she had. Elsa didn't flinch, but concentrated seriously before putting her free hand on the wound. Korra groaned as she felt the cold ice covering the wound and stopping the bleeding.

Elsa breathed a sigh of relief that it had worked. "That's it. This should last until a doctor can see you." Elsa said.

Korra sat down and looked at her frozen wound, still feeling a little pain, but the ice made it easy to bear. "Thank you." Korra said with a grateful smile to the queen.

"You're welcome." Elsa said with a smile as she saw she was feeling a little better.

"Oh, I'm so glad you're okay." said Anna hugging Korra, causing her to groan a little bit over her injured shoulder. Anna noticed and quickly stepped away. "Oops. Sorry." said Anna.

"It's all right. I've been through worse than this." Korra said.

"You can get up." Kristoff asked.

Korra got up with a couple of groans from the effort. "Yeah. Like I said, this is nothing." said Korra.

Once that business was over, they focused on the other business, Hans. They all approached him as the former prince did his best to get out of his ice prison.

"Go ahead. Kill me. Freeze my heart. Show me the kind of person you are." Hans said using those words as a last resort.

"That's what I'll do, Hans. But I'm not going to kill you. You will be locked in a cell for the rest of your days." Elsa said seriously.

"What?" asked Hans incredulously. "After all I've done and shown you. Why only that?"

"While you have done unforgivable things to many people, if I killed you, it would make me a worse person than you are. I will prove who I am by my own actions, not by what others say." said Elsa.

Korra smiled proudly at what Elsa had said, while Anna was surprised at how much her sister had matured.

"And to make sure you don't hurt anyone anymore." said Korra as she picked up Hans' spell book. The next moment, she set the book on fire and burned it to ashes that blew away.

Hans watched in horror as his book was destroyed. "Damn you! I'll be back! Do you hear me? I'll escape, I'll come back, and then I'll make sure you all pay." said Hans, having lost his composure.

Anna, relaxed, stood in front of him, with a calm and serene face. It looked as if nothing was going to happen, until Anna hit him hard in the face, leaving him unconscious.

"Do us all a favor and SHUT UP!" Anna said to the unconscious former prince.

"That's my girlfriend!" said Kristoff.

"I have to admit it. I didn't expect that at all." said Korra a little surprised that the princess did that and happy that she did.

"That's my sister for you." Elsa said.

After that, Team Royal Avatar returned to Arendelle with Hans being carried on Sven's back. Marshmallow returned to his job after seeing that Elsa and her friends were safe.

Upon returning, while the guards were taking the former prince to the dungeons, Korra was immediately taken (dragged by Elsa and Anna) to the infirmary, where the doctor examined her wound. After examining her, the nurse bandaged the Avatar's wound and the doctor confirmed that the wound wasn't very serious and would close in a few hours without leaving a scar, to the great relief of everyone, especially Korra, since she didn't want to return to her world with a scar on her shoulder.

Because it was already very late, Elsa suggested resting for the next day, which everyone accepted. When Korra went to her room to rest, she noticed something from her window. She went over to investigate and saw, through the sky, the flying lizard spirit that informed her of the problem in the spirit world.

Seeing that could only mean one thing to the Avatar. The problem in the spirit world, whose origin was that world, had been solved. That meant Korra could return to her world. She was happy at the thought of seeing her girlfriend again after a while (however short), but she was also a little sad at having to say goodbye to her new friends. She could leave that for tomorrow, because now, what he needed most was rest, since training a queen and facing two armies of shadow creatures in one day required a lot of work.
