Chapter 8: Arendelle
(Lanes Between)
The trio of heroes were flying in the Lanes Between when they saw a world in the distance. They started to approach it when a barrier and door appeared.
"It's some sort of blockade. In order for us to get to the world, we need to go thru the gate and fight whatever is waiting for us on the other side.", said Alanine.
They then entered the gate and in a flash of light they saw the enemies. There was a variety of Heartless and Nobody Gummi ships. Everything from Knight Heads, to Dragonflies, to even Bell Bombs. Max reflexively stepped back and his glider started firing bolts of light at the mass of enemies. Balin and Alanine saw this and also started firing at the mass. After a few minutes of this and some close calls, the last of the enemies were defeated and the doorway opened. They found themselves back in the Lanes Between and the door and barrier shattered into million pieces and the group proceeded to the world. They finally got a good look at the world. The top half had a castle and was sunny. The lower half was covered in snow and had a mountain with a castle of ice on it. They chose to land on the sunny side.
(Arendelle)
The trio landed next to the docs. There was a castle in the distance. They were admiring the castle when they heard a scream. They turned their heads and saw a girl in a green dress being chased by some Eclipsed. The boys leapt into action.
"Max, we need you to stay back some and guard her. Can we count on you do do this?", said Balin.
Max gave a quick nod yes. Balin and Alanine charged at the Eclipsed with their Keyblades drawn and Max ran to the girl. He had his lanceshield drawn as he stood between the girl and the Eclipsed.
"Don't worry, we'll protect you.", said Max to the girl. He stuck at any enemy foolish enough to get close to them. Meanwhile Balin and Alanine had their hands full dealing with Husks, Pluckers, and a new enemy called a Frozen Sorcerer. The Frozen Sorcerer had the body of a Sorcerer, but was blue like the Blue Sea Salts (the Final Mix ones). The arm sleeves were apart and had black clawed hands and the yellow hat of the Blue Rhapsodys. It had red eyes that gave an expression of anger. It also had blocks of ice that floated around it. The Eclipse symbol was located on the front hem of the robe. Balin and Alanine quickly dispatched the underlings, but the Frozen Sorcerer was poring to be a challenge. It was great at using it's blocks of ice at both offence and defence. Then Alanine had a brilliant idea.
"Fire!", yelled Alanine as he cast his spell, but this time the shadow fireball exploded on contact, destroying the Frozen Sorcerer.
"I think you have gotten stronger, because that wasn't a Fire spell, that was a Fira spell.", said Balin.
"Hey, are you ok?", asked Max after Balin and Alanine joined them.
"Yes, thanks to you three. Hi, I'm Princess Anna, but you just call me Anna. What are your names?", said Anna.
"Our apologies Princess. We had now idea of who you were.", said Alanine.
"No need to be formal. Now can you please tell me the names of my new friends?", replied Anna.
"Sorry. My name is Balin and these are my friends Alanine and Max.", responded Balin.
"Do you want come with me back to the castle? My sister, Elsa, is having her coronation today and I would like you come with me if you want you want to.", said Anna.
"We would love to.", said Max.
"Follow me then and welcome to the kingdom of Arendelle.", said Anna.
(Meanwhile)
Elsa was in her room, trying to gather her courage and confidence for the coronation. Then a voice spoke out of nowhere.
"Why are you trying to console you powers? You should be embracing your true potential.", said the voice. Then a corridor of darkness opened in the room and out came one of the most recognizable Disney villains, Maleficent. "After all, you know that you can't keep that power concealed forever. You should unleash it in it's full force. You should join me. We could use your powers."
"I can't. You know this. I made a promise to my father to keep my powers concealed. I still don't know how you know about my powers.", replied Elsa.
"Alright, I can be patient. Just remember, when you are ready, you know where to find me.", said Maleficent before disappearing into another corridor of darkness. Then the bell signaling for everyone to gather in the church for the coronation. In the church, Anna stood next to Elsa as Elsa was crowned queen. Balin, Alanine, and Max sat in the front row (courtesy of Anna), and Alanine thought he saw something.
(Later that night at the ball)
"What's up Alanine? You have that look you always have when you are deep in thought.", said Balin.
"It is probably nothing but I could almost swear that I saw someone high up above the crowd and as Elsa held the royal artifacts in her hands, that there was ice forming on them. Strange, right.", answered Alanine.
"What would be strange. I wonder who's that with Anna.", said Balin.
"I don't know. How about we introduce ourselves.", said Alanine before the two went over to them (Max was off dancing).
"Hi Anna. Are you going to introduce us to your friend?", asked Balin.
"Balin, Alanine this is Prince Hans of the Southern Isles. Hans, these are my friends Balin and Alanine.
"It's nice to meet you Prince Hans.", said both Balin and Alanine at the same time as they stuck their hands out to shake his hand.
"Please, the pleasure is all mine. I have heard tales of Keyblade wielders before and I must say it is an honor to meet not one but two in the flesh.", replied Hans before he shook their hands. Balin and Alanine tensed as they shook hands. "So Anna, how about we go somewhere a little less crowded?" They then left.
"I don't like that guy.", said Balin.
"I don't either. When our hand touched I felt a deep and powerful darkness within him. A darkness that shouldn't be there. I say we follow them.", said Alanine. they started to follow them but were stopped by a lady in a fancy dress.
"Hey there handsome, care to dance?", she said to Alanine.
"I'm sorry. I don't dance, but my friend here does.", replied Alanine before he pushed Balin in front of him.
"Wait, what!?". said Balin.
"Ok. Come on briety boy, let's dance.", said the lady. Balin looked back at Alanine who mouthed the words 'thank you' to him. Balin gave him a look that said 'you are sooo going to pay for this later' before he was dragged off to the dance floor. Just before Alanine could leave to follow Hans and Anna, he was tapped on the shoulder and when he looked back he saw Elsa.
"Queen Elsa. What can I do for you your majesty?", responded Alanine.
"There really is no need to be so formal Alanine. As for what you can do for me, I am supposed to have at least on dance tonight and I was wondering if you would like to dance together, at least for one dance.", said Elsa.
"It would be my honor.", answered Alanine. They then went to the dance floor and began to dance.
"My sister has told me about you three and how you saved her.", said Elsa.
"It was nothing. Just what any good person would do.", replied Alanine.
"But you and your friends are the good people who did it, thank you.", said Elsa. "She is all the family I have left. I just hope that I will be able to protect her from… the bad things like what you fought today."
"I know you will. You really care about your sister. That is a very good thing. As long as you keep her in your mind, nothing will be able to separate you two.", said Alanine.
"Thank you Alanine, you are very wise.", said Elsa.
"I'm only speaking from the heart. It is one of the few things that will most of the time will not be wrong.", said Alanine. The dance then soon ended. Then Alanine found Balin and Max, they then left to find Hans and Anna.
"So how was your dances?", asked Alanine.
"It was fine.", answered Max.
"Just great. Who wouldn't want to be stuck with an annoying lady who wouldn't stop talking because your friend dumped her on you.", said Balin in a sarcastic tone.
"Sounds like a blast Balin.", said Alanine.
"Gurrr.", growled Balin.
They then heard a voice singing. "Born of cold and winter air and mountain rain combining… This icy force both foul and fair has a frozen heart worth mining.", sang the voice. They were mesmerized by the voice and saw that it was a man handling ice with his reindeer. "So cut through the heart cold and clear. Strike for love and strike for fear. See the beauty, sharp and sheer. Split the ice apart! And break the frozen heart. Hyup! Ho! Watch your step! Let it go! Hyup! Ho! Watch your step! Let it go! Beautiful! Powerful! Dangerous! Cold! Ice has a magic can't be controlled. Stronger than one! Stronger than ten! Stronger than a hundred men! Hyup! Born of cold and winter air and mountain rain combining! This icy force both foul and fair has a frozen heart worth mining! So cut through the heart cold and clear! Strike for love and strike for fear! There's beauty and there's danger here. Split the ice apart! Beware the frozen heart…" After the guy finished his song the trio started clapping. "Who are you and why are you down here?"
"My name is Balin and this is Alanine and Max. We were looking for our friend when we heard your voice.", said Balin.
"I'm Kristoff and this is Sven. Now if you excuse me, I need to get this ice unloaded before it melts.", said Kristoff.
"How about we help you. I could keep the ice cold, Max could push the ice, and Balin could cut any blocks you need cut.", offered Alanine.
"What's the chesh?", asked Kristoff.
"Nothing, we are just trying to help.", answered Balin.
"Ok then.", said Kristoff. They then help unload the ice and in less than a minute, all the ice is unloaded. "Thanks. See you three around."
"Hey guys, I have a feeling that we should head back to the ballroom.", said Max.
They then went back to the ballroom, but as they neared the doorway, Elsa ran past them. Then the Duke of Weselton (or Wesal Town) and his goons shoved past.
"Elsa. Elsa please come back.", they heard Anna say. Then she ran past them. She was shortly followed by Hans.
The trio then ran after them and saw Elsa in her fear fire a blast of ice at the Duke and his men.
"She has ice powers. That is so cool! (please forgive the pun)", said Balin. They then saw her run away and freeze the harbor as she ran across. Then it started to snow.
"It is snowing in the middle of Summer. The Queen has cursed this land. You, are you a witch too? Are you a monster?", said the Duke.
"Oh shut up you. Anna, please tell us what happened.", said Alanine.
"To make it simple, I got into an argument with Elsa and upset her and then she started freezing things, but I think it was because she was afraid. Then she ran off.", answered Anna. "I have to go find her. I need my horse. I am leaving Prince Hans in charge until I return."
"You aren't thinking about going out there alone are you. Because if you are, you are sadly mistaken.", said Alanine. "Whether you like it or not, me and Balin are coming with you."
"It would be nice to have some help.", said Anna.
"What about me? Why didn't you say my name?", asked Max.
"Because, you can't come with us. We need you to stay here and defend Arendelle after we are gone. Without you here, Arendelle would defenseless against any Eclipsed attack. We can only trust you to do this. Can we count on you Max?", said Balin. "Come on give us a hug goodbye." They then all embraced in a big hug. "Don't trust Hans. There is something about him that just isn't right. Keep a close eye on him and be careful."
The two then mounted up and followed Anna.
"You two, be careful.", said Max.
(Meanwhile) Elsa was high up the North Mountain. She began to sing, "The Snow glows white on the mountain tonight, not a footprint to be seen. A kingdom of isolation and looks like I'm the queen. The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside. Couldn't keep it in Heaven knows I tried. Don't let them in, don't let them see. Be the good girl you always have to be. Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know. Well, now they know! Let it go, let it go. Can't hold it back anymore. Let it go, let it go. Turn away and slam the door! I don't care what they're going to say. Let the storm rage on. The cold never bothered me anyway. It's funny how some distance, makes everything seem small. And the fears that once controlled me, can't get to me at all! It's time to see what I can do, to test the limits and break though. No right, no wrong, no rules for me, I'm free! Let it go! Let it go! I am one with the wind and sky! Let it go! Let it go! You'll never see me cry! Here I stand and here I'll stay. Let the storm rage on. My power flurries through the air into the ground. My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around. And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast. I'm never going back, the past is in the past! Let it go! Let it go! And I'll rise like the break of dawn! Let it go! Let it go! That perfect girl is gone! Here I stand in the light of day. Let the storm rage on! The cold never bothered me anyway."
"My, my, aren't you the pretty one.", said Maleficent before coming out of a corridor of darkness. "That look suits you very well my dear and it is nice to see you finally embracing your powers."
"How did you find me?", asked Elsa.
"It is hard not to notice when a castle of ice appears out nowhere my dear. Are you finally ready to join me?", responded Maleficent.
"I.. I don't know. All I do know is that I want to be left alone so I can't hurt anyone.", answered Elsa.
"Alright, I will leave you alone to think about it.", said Maleficent before she disappeared into a corridor of darkness.
(Elsewhere) The group was searching for Elsa in the woods when some Husks and Pluckers appeared and spooked the horses away. Balin and Alanine quickly dispatched the Eclipsed, but the horses ran off without them.
"That's just great.", said Alanine before Balin shoved a handful of snow into his hood and pulled it over his head.
"That's for abandoning me earlier.", said Balin.
"Gess Balin, why does your revenge have to be so cold?", responded Alanine. They then continued on thew the night.
"Snow. Why did it have to be snow? Why couldn't she have tropical powers that made everything nice and toasty.", complained Anna to no one in particular.
"Hey guys, look, smoke and where there's smoke, there's fire.", said Balin.
"Yes, fire.", said Anna before she slid into a creek and got all wet. "Cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold.", They then walked to the building that the smoke was coming from as Anna's dress became frozen. Balin knocked the snow of the sign. "Trading post, oh and sana." They then went into the trading post.
"Yoohoo, big summer blow out.", said the postmaster.
"Hi, do you have winter boots, winter dresses, and cloaks?", asked Anna.
"That would be in our winter department.", answered the postmaster.
"So, has anyone else been thew here? Like I don't know, the queen perhaps.", asked Anna as she grabbed the things they needed from the area.
"Only one to be out in a storm like this are you three dear.", answered the postmaster before a man came inside. "And him. Yoohoo, big summer blow out." The man then pulled the scarf from his face and revealed that it was Kristoff.
"Hey, Kristoff. It's us, Balin and Alanine, we helped you back at the castle.", said Balin.
"Hey. I need gear to go up the North Mountain. That is where this snow storm is coming from.", said Kristoff as he got rope, a pick-ax, and a small sack of carrots.
"That's got to be where Elsa is.", said Alanine.
"That would be 40.", said the postmaster.
"No, 10. Come on man, don't be a crook to me.", said Kristoff.
"What did you just call me?", asked the postmaster before tossing Kristoff out and sitting back down. "Sorry about that. I am not really into acts of violence. So just the boots, cloaks, and close ya?"
"Actually, we will get those too.", answered Anna as she pointed at the the things Kristoff left on the counter.
Anna went in back to put her new winter gear on as Balin and Alanine put their new cloaks on. Balin's was an off white with a black design of a heart with crossed Kingdom Key Keyblades. Alanine's was the same except the main color was black and the design was white. They went outside to find Kristoff and they heard him singing it the hut near by.
"Reinders are better than people. Sven, don't you think that's true? Yeah, people will beat you and curse you and cheat you. Every one of em's bad except you. (I am using the bold to show when he is singing for Sven) Aww, thanks buddy. But people smell better than reindeers. Sven, don't you think I'm right? That's once again, for all except you. You got me. Let's call it a night. Good night. Don't let the frostbite bite.", sang Kristoff.
"Nice douet.", said Anna as she entered in her winter gear.
"What are you doing here?", asked Kristoff.
"We need you to take us up the North Mountain, so we can stop this eternal winter.", said Balin.
"I don't take people places.", said Kristoff.
"Let me rephrase that,", said Anna as she threw the sack with the rope and pick-ax in it. "You are going to take us up the North Mountain."
"Fine. We leave at dawn and you forgot the carrots for Sven.", said Kristoff. Then Anna tossed the carrots as Kristoff.
"We leave now.", said Anna before she, Balin, and Alanine walked out with Anna having a sigh of relief. Kristoff then soon hitched Sven to the slay and they all piled in and started up the trail up to the North Mountain.
"Hang on. We like to go fast.", said Kristoff. "So, what made the queen go all ice crazy?"
"Well, I kinda got into an argument with her because I got engaged to a guy I just met that day and she wouldn't bless the marriage and…", said Anna.
"Hold up. You agreed to marry Hans, the guy you just met today?", said Balin.
"What are you thinking Anna? You just met him today.", said Alanine afterwards.
"I'm taking their side in this.", said Kristoff.
"Wait a minute, something is not right.", said Alanine. They peared off into the darkness and saw glowing red eyes staring back.
"Sven, run. Run!", said Kristoff with dire need.
"What is it?", asked Anna with a hint of panic in her voice.
"Wolves.", answered Kristoff.
"Hey guys. Those aren't wolves!", yelled Balin. As the enemy pursued them and got closer to the light, they could make out the details for their pursuers. They were a new form of Eclipsed called Hunters. They look like miniature versions of the Hunter of the Dark. Only they didn't have a chain with the weights on them and they had the Eclipsed symbol on the front of it's chest right below it's head. They also had red eyes that gave an expression of anger. Balin and Alanine summoned their Keyblades and Kristoff got out a torch. Anna also went of a torch but was stopped by Kristoff.
"What are you doing? I want to help.", said Anna.
"I don't trust your judgment.", said Kristoff as he hit some of the Hunters that tried to pounce on them. "How can I, when you agreed to marry a guy you just meet."
"It's true love!", said Anna as she grabbed a lute from the back and smacked a Hunter as it pounced on them.
Alanine was firing Fira after Fira at the incoming enemies as Balin was Strike Raiding them. Suddenly Balin thought about fire as he threw his Keyblade and it became engulfed in flames as he threw it and went out after he grabbed it.
"It seems that you have also gotten stronger, because that was a Fire Raid.", said Alanine as he continued to fire balls of fire at the pursuing enemies. Suddenly one got past their defense and grabbed Kristoff and dragged him off the slay. He was then being dragged by the slay and hanging on by a rope. Anna quickly set a sleeping bag on fire and threw is at the Hunters on Kristoff's feet. Balin and Alanine also used fire attacks to hit two incoming Hunters that were about to attack Kristoff, barely missing him.
"You guys nearly set me on fire!", yelled Kristoff as he began to climb up the rope.
"But we didn't.", said Anna. They then saw a large gap up ahead. "Get ready to jump Sven."
"You do not tell him what to do.", said Kristoff as he threw Anna onto Sven's back. "Jump Sven." Sven then jumped and he and Anna landed on the top of the cliff, Kristoff landed near the top, and Balin and Alanine landed a little bit below Kristoff and used their Keyblades to dig into the cliffside and saw the slay go up in flames. Balin and Alanine then worked together using their Keyblades to climb up the cliff face and they heard Kristoff talking. "No I don't want to help her. In fact, this has ruined helping people for the rest of my life. But she will die on her own. I can live with that. But you won't get your new slay if she's dead. Sometimes I don't like you. Alright, we are coming."
"Really. I mean, I guess you two can come along.", said Anna.
"Hey, aren't you forgetting somebody, to be exact, two somebodies.", said Balin as he and Alanine reach the top of the cliff.
"Of course not.", said Anna as they joined the group as they headed to the North Mountain. Only stopping to rest for the night and slept in shifts (incase more Hunters came out to play). The next morning they pressed on and found a beautiful glade of frozen trees that when the branches shook, it sounded like bells.
"I didn't know that winter could be so beautiful.", said Alanine.
"But it could do with some colors. Maybe some reds, blues, yellow. No, not yellow, yellow and snow no go.", said a voice. Then the owner of that voice came into view and it was a snowman. "Hi." Then panic set in and after some hot potato with the snowman's head, the snowman got his head back but it was upside down. "Why are you guys hanging off the earth like bats?" Then Anna put his head back on right and giving him his nose. "Oh that's much better. Let's start over. Hi, I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs."
"Olaf. That's right Olaf. Me and Elsa build you when we were kids. Did Elsa build you?", said Anna.
"Yes, she did and you are?", said Olaf.
"I'm Anna. This is Balin and Alanine.", answered Anna.
"Who's the funky looking donkey?", asked Olaf.
"That's Sven.", answered Anna.
"And who's the reindeer?", asked Olaf.
"That's Sven. Now Olaf, do you know where Elsa is?", asked Anna.
"Ya, why?", responded Olaf.
"We need to find her so she can help us bring back summer.", answered Balin.
"Oh summer. I don't know why but I have always dreamt about sun and summer and all things hot.", said Olaf.
"Really? I'm guessing that you don't have much experience with heat.", said Kristoff.
"Nope! But sometimes I like to close my eyes and imagine what it'll be like when summer does come. Bees'll buzz. Kids'll blow dandelion fuzz. And I'll be doing whatever snow does in summer. A drink in my hand. My snow up against the burning sand. Prob'ly getting gorgeously tanned in summer. I'll finally see a summer breeze blow away a winter storm. And find out what happens to solid water when it gets warm. And I can't wait to see what all my buddies will think of me! Just imagine how much cooler I'll be in summer. Da da.. Da doo. A bah bah ba baba boo. The hot and the cold both so intense, put'em together, it just makes sense! Rat dadat dadat dadat dadadadadoo. Winter's a good time to stay in and cuddle, but put me in summer and I'll be a… happy snowman! When life gets rough I like to hold on to my dream of relaxing in the summer sun just lettin' off steam! Oh the sky will be blue and you guys'll be there too. When I finally do what frozen things do in summer!", sang Olaf.
"I'm gonna tell him.", said Kristoff.
"Don't you dare.", said Anna. Balin, and Alanine at the same time.
"In summer!", finished Olaf. "Come on. Let's go bring back summer."
"Lead the way Olaf.", said Alanine.
"Somebody needs to tell him.", said Kristoff.
(Elsewhere) Prince Hans and Max were handing out warm close when the horses that Anna, Balin, and Alanine had came running in being chased by a couple Pluckers. Max quickly summoned his lanceshield and dispatched the Pluckers and camed the horses down. Max and Hans then realized who the horses belonged to.
"Princess Anna and the Keyblade wielders are in trouble. I need volunteers to come with me to find them.", said Hans. Max among others volunteered, the Duke also volunteered his two goons. When Max saw this, he knew that he now had a total of three people to keep track of on this mission.
(Back with our heroes) Our heroes were walking through a field of sharp icicled trees.
"So, what is your plan to get summer back once we get there?", asked Kristoff.
"I'm going to talk with my sister.", answered Anna.
"So, all of our lives are riding on you talking with your sister. How do you even know she will listen?", said Kristoff.
"I just know it will work.", answered Anna.
"I think so too.", said Olaf as he walked into an icicle. "I bet she is the nicest, sweetest person ever. Oh look, I've been impaled." They then got to a cliff face.
"We can't climb it. I only have one rope and Anna doesn't have the needed experience.", said Kristoff.
"Says you.", said Anna as she began to climb.
"You are going to get yourself killed.", warned Kristoff.
"Hey guys, I think I found a better path.", said Balin just before Anna fell.
"Anna!", yelled Alanine, but then the tip of his Keyblade glowed and Anna floated a few inches above the ground and then fell the rest of the way, but fell unharmed.
"What was that?", asked Balin.
"I think that was a new spell. Zero Gravity.", answered Alanine. "Anyway, about that path you found, Balin."
"It's an ice bridge that leads to a castle of ice that I am 100 percent sure belongs to Elsa.", said Balin.
"How do you know?", asked Olaf.
"Because she is the only one who can make a castle of ice.", answered Balin. They then turned the corner and found a beautiful bridge of ice that lead to an even more beautiful castle of ice.
"It's so beautiful. I think I'm gonna cry.", said Kristoff.
"Go ahead. We won't judge.", said Anna. They then reached the front door while admiring the icy architecture. Anna hesitated to knock on the door.
"Go ahead Anna, knock. I just know she will answer to you.", said Alanine. Anna then knock and the door opened.
"It opened. Thats a first. You guys should probably stay out here. The last time I introduced her to a guy she froze everything. Just us a minute.", said Anna.
"Ok. One, two, three,", counted Olaf.
"Four,", said the entire group. When they counted to 60. Olaf when in and Balin and Alanine quickly followed him and started to hear singing.
"You don't have to protect me, I'm not afraid! Please don't shut me out again! Please don't slam the door. You don't have to keep your distance anymore.", they hear Anna sing as she went up the steps. Balin and Alanine ran to catch-up to her. "Cause for the first time in forever, I finally understand. For the first time in forever we can fix this hand in hand. We can head down this mountain together! You don't have to live in fear… cause the first time in forever I will be right here."
"Anna. Please go back life awaits. Go enjoy the sun and open up the gates.", sang Elsa.
"Yeah, but-", said Anna.
"I know! You mean well, but leave me be. Yes, I'm alone but I'm alone and free! Just stay away and you'll be safe from me.", sang Elsa.
"Actually, we're not", sang Anna.
"What do you mean you're not?", sang Elsa.
"I get a feeling you don't know.", sang Anna.
"What do I not know?", sang Elsa.
"Arendelle's in deep, deep, deep, deep… snow.", sang Anna.
"What?", asked Elsa.
"You kind of set off an eternal winter… everywhere.", answered Anna.
"Everywhere?", asked Elsa.
"It's okay, you can just unfreeze it.", said Anna.
"No I can't. I, I don't know how.", said Elsa as she started to panic.
"Sure you can, I know you can! Cause for the first time in forever…", sang Anna.
"Ohhhhh. I'm such a fool! I can't be free!", sang Elsa.
"You don't have to be afraid…", sang Anna.
"No escape from the storm inside me!", sang Elsa.
"We can work this out together!", sang Anna.
"I can't control the curse!", sang Elsa.
"We'll reverse the storm you've made.", sang Anna.
"Anna please, you'll only make it worse!", sang Elsa.
"Don't panic!", sang Anna.
"There's so much fear!", sang Elsa.
"We'll make the sun shine bright!", sang Anna.
"You're not safe here!", sang Elsa.
"We can face this thing together!", sang Anna.
"No!", sang Elsa.
"We can change this winter weather!", sang Anna.
"Ahhhhhh…", sang Elsa.
"And everything will be alright!", sang Anna.
"I can't!", sang Elsa as in her fear shot ice all around. Alanine tried to cast Reflect, but Elsa's magic was just too fast and the barrier only protected him, but Anna and Balin got hit in the chest.
"Anna!", said Kristoff as he entered and caught her as she fell.
"Balin!", said Alanine has he fell.
"Who is this? Never mind, you should all go.", said Elsa.
"No, we are not leaving.", said Anna.
"Then you leave me no choice.", said Elsa as she used her ice powers to create a giant snow monster (named Marshmallow). Marshmallow then grabbed the group and took them outside and threw them out, literally.
"Go away.", said Marshmallow. He then threw Olaf.
"Heads up.", said Olaf as his head was thrown. "Watch out for my butt."
"It's not nice to throw people.", said Anna as she threw a snowball at Marshmallow. Marshmallow then got mad and more icy.
"You guys go. We'll distract him for as long as I can", said Olaf. The others and his body and legs ran off. Marshmallow was in hot pursuit. Then Alanine had an idea. He ran to a near by tree and stoped.
"Hey Marshmallow, over here!", yelled Alanine to draw him in. As soon a Marshmallow got close, Alanine hit the tree which smacked Marshmallow in the face slowing him down.
"Ya, you got him!", yelled Balin as they continued to run. They then got to the edge of a cliff with Marshmallow close behind.
"That has to be a 100 foot drop.", said Anna.
"200 actually. I need to build a snow anchor. That way we can repel some and then drop the rest of the way. There is several feet of fresh snow, it should be like landing in a pillow.", said Kristoff. He then tied the four together as the noses of Marshmallow got closer. "Jump on three. One, two…" A tree then landed in front of them.
"Three!" yelled Anna as she jumped off, pulling Kristof, Balin, and Alanine off and leaving a shape of the three in snow that hung in the air of a second before falling to the ground. They then saw Olaf fall down the cliff.
"Hang in there guys.", said Olaf as he disappeared out of view. The group then was pulled up by Marshmallow and Kristoff was knocked out by his head hitting the cliff side.
"Don't come back!", yelled Marshmallow.
"We won't.", said Anna as she took Kristoff's knife and cut the rope. The group then fell and landed safely in the snow below. "You where right. Just like a pillow. Kristoff?"
"I can't feel my legs!", said Olaf.
"Those are my legs.", said Kristoff as he rose from the snow. He was followed by Balin and Alanine.
"Quick, grab my butt.", said Olaf as his lower half walked past. Kristoff put Olaf together. "That feels so much better." They then all climbed out of the snow.
"What now?", asked Kristoff.
"What now? Oh, what do I do now? She shut me out again. Everyones counting on me and then these your ice business and….", said Anna.
"Hey, hey, don't worry about my ice business. Worry about your hair.", said Kristoff.
"My hair? I just fell off a cliff you should see your hair.", said Anna.
"No, your's is turning white.", said Kristoff as another bit of Anna's hair turned white.
"Balin, your's is too.", said Alanine as he saw some of Balin's hair turned white.
"We have to go now. I have some friends that can help.", said Kristoff.
"How do you know that they can help?", asked Alanine.
"Because I have seen them do it before.", answered Kristoff.
(Elsewhere) A group of riders approached the ice castle. Hans lead the group with Max riding close behind him.
"No one is to harm the queen.", ordered Hans. Just then, Marshmallow attacked the group. Elsa was inside trying to get a grip on her powers and was just getting worse.
"My, my, what a tangled mess we have made.", said Maleficent as she came out of a corridor of darkness. "You have no more friends here, but if you join me, you can have others close to you without hurting them. I will help you."
"I, I can't. I won't. I can never do that to Anna.", said Elsa.
"Very well. But know this, there is more than one way to the darkness that calls us all.", said Maleficent. Just then the Duke's goons came in and was shortly followed by Max. Max then saw Maleficent.
"You!", said Max.
"I will take my leave now.", said Maleficent as she left in a corridor of darkness.
The Duke's goons then started attacking Elsa and Max jumped to Elsa's defence.
"Why are you helping me?", asked Elsa.
"Because I know that it is the right thing to do and that taking you down is not.", answered Max.
Elsa and Max quickly defeat the goons and pin them down. Then Hans and the rest of the men come in and distract them. One of the goons tries to fire an arrow at Elsa, but Hans points the crossbow upward and the arrow hit the ice chandelier that is right above Elsa and Max. They ran out of the way but are still knocked unconscious.
(Meanwhile) Our group was walking in a rocky area with steam vents. They then reached an area with a lot of small round boulders.
"Well these are my friends. But they are more like family.", said Kristoff.
"He's crazy. I'll distract him while you three run. Hi Sven's family, it is nice to meet you. Why are you not running?", said Olaf. Just then, the rocks rolled and it was revealed that they were actually trolls.
"Kristoff is home.", said Bulda. "And he brought a girl. She will do nice for our Kristoff."
"What? No. We are not together.", said Anna.
"What's the issue, dear? Why are you holding back from such a man? Is it the clumpy way he walks?", sang Bulda.
"Or the grumpy way he talks?", sang Cliff.
"Or the pear shaped, square shaped weirdness of his feet? And though we know he washes well he always ends up sorta smelly. (Unless it is one of the particular trolls with a name, I am going to clump them together. Sorry, but this is the only way I can do this. If you really want it, go to youtube and find it on there. There isn't a lot of difference between what I have and the actual thing.)", sang some of the trolls.
"But you'll never meet a fella who's as", sang Bulda.
"Sensitive and sweet! So he's a bit of a fixer upper. So he's got a few flaws.", sang both Bulda and Cliff.
"Like his peculiar brain, dear. His thing with the reindeer. That's a little outside of nature's laws! So he's a bit of a fixer upper. But this we're certain of, you can fix this fixer upper up with a little bit of love!", sang some of the trolls.
"Can we just stop talking about this? We've got a real actual problem here.", said Kristoff.
"I'll say! So tell me dear… Is it the way he runs scared?", sang Bulda.
"Or that he's socially impaired? Or that he only likes to tinkle in the woods? What?", sang some trolls.
"Are you holding back your fondness due to his unmanly blondness?", sang Cliff.
"Or the way he covers up that he's the honest goods? He just a bit of a fixer upper. He's got a couple a' bugs. His isolation is confirmation of his desperation for healing hugs! So he's a bit of a fixer upper, but we know what to do. The way to fix up this fixer upper is to fix him up with you!", sang some of the trolls.
"Enough! She is engaged to someone else, okay?", yelled Kristoff.
"So she's a bit of a fixer upper.", sang Cliff.
"That's a minor thing. Her quote 'engagement' is a flex arrangement… And by the way, I don't see no ring! So she's a bit of a fixer upper. Her brain's a bit betwixt! Get the fiane out of the way and the whole thing will be fixed!", sang some of the trolls.
"We're not saying you can change him, because people don't really change. We're only saying that love's a force that's powerful and strange. People make bad choices if they're mad or scared or stressed, but throw a little love their way…", sang Bulda.
"Throw a little love their way and you'll bring out their best! True love brings out their best! Everyone's a bit of a fixer upper. That's what it's all about! Father! Sister! Brother! We need each other to raise us up and round us out! Everyone's a bit of a fixer upper, but when push comes to shove…", sang some of the trolls.
"The only fixer upper fixer that can fix a fixer upper is…", sang Olaf, Balin, and Alanine.
"True! True! True, true, true! Love, true love! Love, love, love, love, love! Love, true love! T-rue", sang the trolls.
"Do you, Anna, take Kristoff to be your trolfully wedded-", said the troll priest.
"Wait, what?", asked Anna.
"You're getting married.", answered the troll priest.
"Love!", sang the trolls as they finished the song. Just as the song ended, Anna fell and more of her hair turned white. The same happened to Balin. Kristoff caught Anna and Alanine caught Balin. Then chieftain came.
"Granpop. We need your help.", said Kristoff.
"I am afraid that I do not have that power. They have been stuck in the heart with ice and if it is not removed, they will freeze forever more. But only an act of true love can thaw a frozen heart. A true loves kiss would work.", said the troll chief.
"But what about Balin? There isn't anyone who he loves for him to have a true loves kiss with.", said Alanine.
"Then you must find some other act of true love to save him with. I'm sorry, but there is nothing I can do.", said the troll chief.
"Then lets get Anna back to Arendelle. After she is safe, then we will worry about me.", said Balin as he shakily stood up.
"But Balin-", started Alanine.
"I'm fine Alanine, but Anna needs our help and that comes first.", said Balin. "Lets go, Hans awaits." They then hopped on Sven and rode toward Arendelle.
"Lets go kiss Hans. Who is this Hans?", said Olaf.
(Meanwhile) Elsa was awakening in a cell and looked out the window and saw that the harbor was frozen. Then Hans came in.
"Elsa, we need you to tell me what happened to Anna. She hasn't come back yet.", said Hans.
"Last I saw her was when she was leaving my ice castle. She should be here by now.", said Elsa.
"Elsa please, stop this winter.", said Hans.
"Don't you see, I can't.", said Elsa. "You have to tell them that."
"I will do what I can.", said Hans as he left.
(Elsewhere) Our heros were riding fast and hard to reach the castle. Olaf was right beside them sliding on his belly. They soon reach the castle. They said goodbye to Anna and then Alanine turned to Balin.
"Balin, I want you to stay with Anna. No matter what, stay here in Arendelle. Please, do this for me.", said Alanine.
"Balin. Ok, but only to protect Anna.", answered Balin. "But don't make me wait too long, otherwise I'll just have to hunt you down."
"You have a deal." said Alanine as he drew Balin into a big hug. "I'll see you soon." Then he and Kristoff left the castle. "Hey Olaf, can you please stay with Balin?"
"You can count on me." answered Olaf.
They were a little bit away before either of them spoke.
"So what is your plan Alanine?", asked Kristoff.
"I'm going after Elsa. She hurt my brother, I'm going to make her pay.", said Alanine.
"That is madness. Wait, say that second bit again.", said Kristoff.
"I said that she hurt my brother. She hurt my brother. She hurt my brother! Kristoff, you're a genius! I could kiss you right now! There is more than one form of true love, brotherly love. I love Balin like a brother. That may be enough to save him.", said Alanine. He then took off running. "Aren't you coming?"
"You don't need me.", said Kristoff.
"Yes we do. You are meant to save Anna.", said Alanine.
"You really think so?", asked Kristoff.
"Yes I do.", answered Alanine. Just then an ice storm started. The group then ran down the hill side as fast as they could.
(Elsewhere and a little bit before) Max was waking up in a bed at the castle. He then sat bolt right as he remembered what had happened. He then jumped out of bed and as he did, he caused himself pain. He was still recovering from the ice chandelier hitting him. He stepped out of the room and ran into Balin, who was passing by.
"Balin. Why are you here, where's Alanine, and why is most of your hair white?", asked Max.
"In order: Alanine asked me to protect Anna while she is weak, Alanine is out trying to stop this winter, and as for my hair, it is nothing you need to worry about.", answered Balin. Just then Olaf came from behind Balin.
"Hi, I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs. What's your name?", said Olaf.
"Ahhh, talking snowman!", yelled Max.
"No, no, no, it's ok. This is one of my friends named Olaf. Olaf this is my friend Max. Now Olaf, Why are you here?", said Balin.
"Alanine asked me to watch you.", answered Olaf. "Hey, where's Anna?" They then saw one of the castle staff.
"Excuse me miss, where can we find Princess Anna?", said Max.
"She is with Prince Hans, up a floor, middle of the hall, the door on the right.", answered the staff lady.
"Thank you.", said Max. They then went to the room that the lady had described and found it locked.
"I've got it.", said Balin as he summoned his Keyblade. He then tapped on the door with his Keyblade and they heard it click as it unlocked. They opened the door and found Anna collapsed on the floor, her hair completely white and the fire was out.
"Anna! Are you ok?", said Balin as he rushed in. "What happened to your kiss?"
"He wasn't my true love. He is going to steal Elsa's heart. I have to help her.", said Anna as she tried to stand up but fell back down.
"You can't go anywhere. We need to find you an act of true love otherwise you will freeze.", said Balin.
"Is that what is happening to you Balin?", asked Max as he put wood in the fireplace.
"I'm fine Max.", said Balin as he went on one knee as more of his hair turned white. "I'm alright. Fire." The fireplace then was lit.
"So this is heat. It's so beautiful. But don't touch.", said Olaf as he brot Anna closer to the fire. Max brot Balin closer to the fire. "There has to be some other act of true love to save you. Do you have any ideas?"
"I don't even know what love is.", said Anna.
"Luckily I do. Love is putting someone else's needs before yours, like how Kristoff left you here forever." said Olaf.
"You mean Kristoff loves me?", asked Anna.
"Wow, you really don't know anything about love. Olaf your melting.", said Balin.
"Some people are worth melting for, just not this second.", said Olaf. Just then the window opened. Olaf ran over to close it. "Wait, hang on. I see something. It's Kristoff, Sven, and Alanine. We need to get you to him. There's your act of true love." Just then the the room started to get icy. "We need to go." They then ran out as the hallways then became blocked by ice. "We're trapped."
"No we aren't.", said Max as he used his lanceshield to break threw a near by window. "Come on, slide down." They then slid down the roof and started walking thru the storm. Olaf was blow away and Max was separated from the group by the storm. Balin and Anna walked forward as they started to freeze.
Sven, Kristoff, and Alanine were making their way toward them as they were attacked by an Invisible (set by Maleficent. Also it is the remix version). Alanine summoned his Keyblade.
"Go! I'll hold it off.", ordered Alanine.
He then proceeded to run up and continuously attack the Invisible, pushing it back. The Invisible classed several times with him, but was hit a lot as Alanine went into a trance like state that made the Invisible out of his league. In the distance, Balin heard the clashing of metal against metal and he just knew that it was Alanine and that he needed his help. He ran as fast as he could toward the noise and found Alanine facing down an Invisible all by himself. Just then the storm stopped and the snow floated in mid air. That's when the Invisible saw Balin and knew that he was an easy target. It then started floating away from Alanine and toward Balin. Then Alanine saw Balin and that the Invisible was after him and ran toward Balin. The Invisible reached Balin first and was about to strike him down when Alanine jumped in the way and took the blow. Alanine was only able to deflect some of the blow and the blade cut his right arm, creating an ugly wound. Alanine then did a swift and powerful strike that destroyed the Invisible. He then turned toward Balin.
"Are you ok?", asked Alanine.
"I'm fine, but you are hurt. Did you really risk yourself like that for me?", said Balin.
"Of course, I love you as if you were my brother.", said Alanine as he brought Balin into a big hug. As they hugged, Balin's hair turned back to normal. "Balin, your back to normal."
"Of course I am bro. Your love for me undid the spell. Thank you bro.", said Balin.
"What did you call me?", asked Alanine.
"I called you bro, bro.", answered Bain. "After all, it seems appropriate since we are brothers by heart."
"Brothers by heart. I like that.", said Alanine. "Oh, I need to heal real quick. Cure." Just then they saw Elsa and the the others near a thawing Anna. They walked over to them.
"You would sacrifice yourself for me?", said Elsa.
"Of cores, I love you Elsa", answered Anna.
"Love will always thaw a frozen heart.", said Olaf.
"Love will thaw. Love. That's the answer.", said Elsa. She then used her powers to bring back summer.
"Hands down the best day of my life and quite possibly my last.", said Olaf as he started melting.
"Olaf, hang in there buddy.", said Elsa as she summoned a small cloud that snowed.
"My own personal flurry. Thank you Elsa.", said Olaf as Hans started to get up. Balin started making his way toward him but was stopped by Anna. Anna then walked up to Hans.
"Anna, but your heart was frozen.", said Hans.
"The only frozen heart around here is your's", said Anna before she grabbed him and pushed him into the water.
"Nice one Anna.", said Balin. Just then Max fell onto the deck. "Max!" Elsa then examined him.
"He has a sickness from the ice. I have something back at my ice castle that may help. Can you three get it? It is in a small chest at the top of the castle.", said Elsa.
"We'll do.", said Balin. "Come on guys, but let's first take care of Hans." They looked over the side and he was gone. "Well that is just great. Alright gane, let's get going." They then grabbed some horses and had an uneventful and quick junoy to the ice castle. As they approached the castle, a figure came out of a corridor of darkness. It was Hans.
"How did you get here?", said Alanine as he and Balin summoned their Keyblades.
"My new boss saved me, gave me new powers, and promised that I could rule this world in his name. And all he asks in return is you two's destruction and unyielding loyalty. I gladly accept him and his darkness. Now prepare for oblivion!", said Hans. Hans was then covered in darkness as he quickly transformed. When he came out he looked like he was wearing armor that was pitch black with spikes of ice covering it. He was wielding a sword that looked like it was made of ice and had the Demon Eye of Xehanort in the hilt in his right hand and in his left hand was a shield that resembled Vexen's. The Eclipsed symbol was displayed on the chest plate. "My name in the Frozen Fiend. Prepare for your destruction." Balin, Alanine, Kristoff, and Sven prepared to fight the Frozen Fiend.
The Frozen fiend attacked first by sending a wave of ice shards from his sword. Alanine used Reflect to try to send the shards back at the Frozen Fiend, but the shards broke through the barrier. Luckily the barrier changed the shards' trajectory enough for the shards not to hit anyone. The Frozen Fiend then followed up the attack by charging at the group with phenomenal speed. Balin and Alanine barely had enough time to block the attack. Alanine then tried to launch a counterattack with a Fira spell but the Frozen Fiend blocked the attack with his shield. Balin tried to attack with a combo move, but the Frozen Fiend clashed with him every time. Balin and Alanine then clashed to form the fusion weapon. They then unleashed combo after combo with some of their attacks making past the Frozen Fiend's defence and chiping some of the ice armor off. Then the Frozen Fiend then but his sword on his shield and it expanded into a barrier of ice that could fire large shards of ice. Just then the fusion weapon timed out. Balin tried to use his Fire Raide on the Frozen Fiend but it didn't leave a scratch.
"His ice barrier is too tuff. We need to do a Trinity Limit to be able to bust thru.", said Balin.
"But Max is not here. Unless… Kristoff, Sven, come here.", said Alanine. They then hopped on Sven as he came close. "Charge Sven!" They then rode Sven as he charged toward the Frozen Fiend. The Frozen Fiend then launched large shards of ice at the charging group. "Kristoff send those back." Kristoff then used his ice ax to send the shards of ice back at the Frozen Fiend, causing cracks to form in the ice barrier. The group then reached him and Balin and Alanine did a cross cut, shattering the ice barrier. They then unleash devastating combos on the now vulnerable Frozen Fiend. The battle soon ended. The Frozen Fiend kneeled as darkness swirled around him.
"Please Master Xanheart forgive me. Noooooooo!", yelled the Frozen Fiend as he disappeared into a vortex of darkness. The dark vortex dissipated and a black glowing crystal was revealed, it then floated up and disappeared into thin air.
"Master Xanheart?", said Balin and Alanine right before a memory came to them. It was a quick flash of them seeing them strike at Xanheart in the Lanes of Time. "Was that Xanheart and what was that place?"
"Hey guys, didn't we come here with a job to do?", said Kristoff.
"What, oh ya, that's right. Come on guys.", said Alanine. They soon reached the top of the ice castle and found the chest. They then turned around and saw it sticking right outside on the mountain, the Keyhole. Their Keyblades then appeared in their hands and shot a beam of light that locked the Keyhole.
"What was that?", asked Kristoff.
"That was the Keyhole and now that it is closed, the Eclipsed will never bother you guys ever again.", answered Balin. "Come on, let's get Max better." They then had a quick descent to Arendelle and in a few days Max was all better, but then it was time to say goodbye.
"Do you guys really have to go?", asked Anna.
"Yes, there are other places that need our help. But don't worry, we will be back some day.", said Balin.
"Before you guys go, we have some things for you three.", said Elsa. She then pulled out three medals and gave one to each of them. "These are for all that you three have done for us and Arendelle." Just then there was a bright flash of light. When they all could see once again, Balin, Alanine, and Max had their weapons out, but they were different. Balin's Keyblade had two green leaves that formed the guard of the hilt. The blade was the castle. The teeth was a sun with ten points on it. The charm was a sun. The charm from his other Keyblade was in his other hand. Alanine's Keyblade had two white swirls that looked like they were made of snow that formed the guard of the hilt. The blade was made of a long, sharp icicle. The teeth was a snowflake that had eight points on it. The charm was the medallion that had a snowflake on it. The charm of his other Keyblade was in his other hand. Max's lanceshield was now pure white with three black dots on it in the center. The lance piece looked like a very large carrot. A stone that had the red Mickey symbol in it was in his other hand.
"Summer's Renewal.", said Balin.
"Winter's Rane", said Alanine.
"Snowman.", said Max.
"What just happened?", asked Elsa.
"Those medals you gave us must have unlocked new weapons for us, making us stronger.", answered Alanine.
"I also have something for you.", said Olaf. He gave them a small charm that was a snowman that looked like him. "You can use this to summon me from wherever you are."
"Thank you, all of you. But now we need to go. Until next time we meet.", said Balin. The three then hit their gauntlets and summoned their gliders and left the world of Arendelle and on to their next adventure.
Long chapter right. I have a lot to say. First off thanks for being patient with me. You guys rock and I am sorry that you are going to have to wait a little bit more for the next chapter, which brings me to my next point. I am going to try to do an entire world each chapter so don't be surprised if you don't hear from me for a while. Third, I was writing this during Mother's Day and I must thank my mom for all her help with this story. So this chapter is dedicated to you. Also, I may be starting a new story. It will be a Spyro story, so if you like that then keep an eye out for that. Finally, if any artist wishes to draw and post a drawing from this story, you have my permission to do so. Just nothing lemony ok and please get the nose right. (Balin: That bit about the nose is kinda random. Me: because it is a hint about the next world. Alanine: Are you going to always drop these hints? Me: Unless a lot of people complain about it, yes.) As always, please leave a comment below (also I haven't gotten a single one yet. So please let me know that I am not just talking to myself when I write these.) Also remember that one heart connects to another heart that connects to other hearts, until they weave together to make Kingdom Hearts. Never forget your Kingdom Hearts. I hope to see you all next time. Bye.
