A/N: this happens in the chapters: Devil´s Bayou in the "True Friendship never dies" story.
and this story transpire in the movie Frozen. not sure what the name of the world would be though
these chapters won't be in the correct timeline, so there will be much jumping back and forward.
" sometimes, those you see as enemy is those who are your ally and those you see as ally is in reality your enemy... and sometimes, you don´t know which side the person is one. even I am unsure of which side he is one, all I know... that he is trying to help, but also will be a great threat. he knows what the future holds..."
Sora, Riku and Kairi walked through a snow filled forest, all three having warm clothing on, thanks to a nice shop owner, who also have informed them that not long ago, it was warm summer, but something have cursed this land into freezing winter.
Sora and his two friends decided to look deeper into this "curse" while they were here.
"wait" Kairi suddenly said and stopped, "listen" her two friends did and through the mild wind, they heard wolves howling, and... human screams.
"someone´s in danger!" Sora cried and ran towards the sounds "let's go!"
"right!" Riku and Kairi nodded and ran after Sora, towards the cries and howling wolves.
through the trees of the forest, the trio spotted a sledge, pulled by a reindeer. in the sledge, a man and a woman did they very best to keep the hungry pack of wolves away.
one of the wolves got the man, pulled him off the sledge, but before it and the rest of the pack could harm him anymore, Riku fired a dark ball at them. shattering the pack into smaller groups.
one of these small groups attacked the reindeer and the sledge, Sora and Kairi quickly pursuit them and with a few strikes with their keyblades, the wolves was on the run.
"you alright?" Riku asked the man, the man got on his feet, nodded with a baffled look. "yeah" he eyed the place the wolves ran off "you used to fighting wolves?"
"you could say that" Riku replied.
the young woman in the sledge thanked Sora and Kairi from saving them, yet she could not reward them right away, her mind was on something else "I need to find Elsa"
"whose Elsa?" Sora asked.
"my older sister" she told and added with a humorless smile "who also happens to be the queen... and... the one who froze everything"
"huh?!" the trio gasped.
"why did she freeze everything?" Riku asked.
"It´s all my fault, I got engaged" she said and her companion added with crossed arms "the same day she met the guy"
"it´s true love!" She shouted to him, clearing her throat and continued "long story short, I got mad, she got mad and because of that, I pushed her and she accidently turned the summer into winter"
Sora Riku and Kairi glanced to each other, like the man behind them, not sure if it was a smart move getting engaged by a guy she has just met.
"so... where is your sister now?" Kairi asked, hoping the awkward silence would go away.
"up in the mountains" the man replied kinda casually and added "name´s Kristoff by the way"
"oh, sorry!" the young woman exclaimed, first now realized she haven´t told her name "I´m Anna"
"I´m Sora, and this is my friends, Riku and Kairi" Sora introduce and Riku and Kairi smiles to Anna and Krisoff. "mind if we tag along? maybe we can help you reaching Elsa"
"no thanks, I got it under control" Kristoff declined and went to the sledge. Anna in the other hand; "like with the wolves?"
"we can help you" Riku said to the older male. with a sight, Kristoff agreed and together they went to find Anna´s sister.
inside a quite beautiful forest, having raindrops hanging down the tree wines, the group was caught in awe of this beauty the winter could produce.
"it´s beautiful" Kairi admitted, it was pretty rare either of them saw any snow in the first place. the islands was a bit too warm for that kind of weather.
"we don´t have anything like this back home" Sora nodded and played a little with the ice filled vines, however he stopped when someone said in an awfully cheerful mood "yeah, isn´t it? but it is so white"
the others began looking around as the voice continued speaking "what about some color, I´m thinking some, like crimson, chartreuse, what about yellow? no not yellow. yellow in snow, brrh, no go"
Sora looked down, closely followed by his friends, like him they too stared down to the snowman, somehow have appeared from nowhere. the said snowman turned to Anna, asking quite friendly "am I right?"
Anna screamed in mere shock of the snowman have just talked to her, and kicked its head off. the snowman´s head landed in Kristoff´s hands, but it did not look very angry about it and said cheerful as ever "hi!"
"you´re creepy" was all Kristoff said, before he threw it over to Kairi, and of course she was just as creped as the rest and threw it back to Kristoff with "I don´t want it!"
and Kristoff threw it to Riku, and Riku threw it back to the walking around body.
the body got hit off ground by the force and when it got up, the head was upside down. the snowman blinked "wait, what am I looking at?" he narrowed his eyes at the group, obviously confused "why are you hanging off the earth like a bat?"
"my bad" was all Riku said, even from Sora´s view, his friend did not look sorry one bit, rather, amused.
"wait one second" and Anna turned the head around so the snowman could see right. the said snowman gave Anna a big smile "thank you, now I´m perfect" it sighted happy and said "alright, let´s start this thing over, hi everyone; I´m Olaf, and I like warm hugs!"
"Olaf?" Anna asked, clearly looking like she knew that name, she smiled "that´s right" remembering her childhood where she and Elsa build a snowman named Olaf.
Sora who love seeing new things, even it was as strange as this smiled introduced himself to Olaf the snowman "I´m Sora"
Kairi went past Anna, also smiling "I´m Kairi, nice to meet you Olaf"
Riku titled once his head to this walking, and quite talking snowman, finding this really strange and fascinating at the same time before saying "I´m Riku" adding with a small chuckle "sorry about the throw"
Anna thoughts of a better childhood got cut by the trios introduction and she said friendly to the snowman "and I´m Anna"
"and who is the funky looking donkey over there?" Olaf asked, nodding against the reindeer and Kristoff. Anna smiled, of what the snowman presume was the reindeer "that´s Sven"
Olaf nodded "ah ha, and who´s the reindeer?"
Anna hesitated a bit there, finding this both funny and a little cruel "um... Sven"
being a snowman clearly did not make him think of others emotions, for Olaf did not see the annoyed frown on Kristoff´s face as he said cheerful "okay, makes things easier for me"
"did Elsa build you?" Riku asked the snowman.
"yes, why?" Olaf asked with a smile.
"do you know where she is?" Anna asked while Kristoff took one of Olaf´s arms, trying to figure out how it worked. Olaf did not seems to notice, for he turned to Anna, with the same cheerful face and same reply as with Riku "yes why?"
"could you take us to her?"
"how does this thing work- auch!" Kristoff cried after getting hit by the tree arm and Olaf turned to him, took his arm back with "stop that Sven, I´m trying to focus here" and he turned to Kairi "yes why?"
"I´ll tell you why" Kristoff said and told the quite cheerful snowman "we need Elsa to bring back summer"
"ohh I don´t know why, but I always LOVED the idea of summer, of the sun, and everything´s hot!"
"you don´t know what´s summer is do you?" Sora asked, taking his hands behind his head.
"nope!" Olaf simple said and added again with a smile on his snowy face "but I always wanted to see the summer!"
"I´m going to tell him" Kristoff said out from Olaf hearing, but before he could, Anna stopped him rather angry "don´t you dare!"
oblivious of what summer and heat did to a snowman, Olaf leaped off "Elsa is this way, let´s bring back summer!"
everyone followed, except from Kristoff.
"somebody gonna tell him" was all he said, well knowing what fate awaits if they brought back summer. but with no other options, he followed the rest.
_
meanwhile in the city Arendelle. the man Anna wished to marry helped everyone in town to get warm clothing. however he stopped in doing that of the sound of a portal. he span around, with sword in hand, ready to defend himself and those around him. but before he even could make one strike, his blade got knocked out by another blade, having darkness seeping out from it. prince Hans stared warily at the cloaked figure, still he asked "have you found Queen Elsa?"
"yes" the cloaked replied, voice compromised by magic and impossible to know who hid under the hood, only thing could be seen that this hooded was a young man.
Prince Hans nodded and went for his horse. "alright, you go on ahead"
the hooded nodded and teleported off.
_
as promise, Olaf brought the group to where Elsa was and to everyone´s great surprise, Elsa´s power was shown in the huge ice castle she have made in top on the mountain, it was quite the sight. they went up the crystal looking ice stairs, but Kristoff was forced to stay behind when his reindeer; Sven tried going after them, but almost ended up breaking his neck because it couldn´t stand on the icy surface.
"you go ahead" he told them, even he looked quite disappointed not going inside this beautiful ice castle. with a nod, the trio followed Anna inside.
with a few calls, Elsa appeared, looking rather confused seeing her sister here "Anna?"
Anna was quite baffled seeing her sister like this, because she was so used to seeing Elsa so uptight and now she looked more free spirited.
"you look different... it´s a good different " Anna told her older sister, looking around like Sora, Riku and Kairi did "and this place, it´s amazing"
Elsa smiled of the praise "thank you... who are they?" she asked, eyeing the trio with wariness in her ice blue eyes.
Anna turned to them "don´t worry, they are my friends" she smiled back up to Elsa "they helped me getting here"
"you have some amazing powers" Kairi admitted, staring in awe at the castle they stood in "did you do all of this?"
Elsa smiled, relaxing a bit more "yes" adding with a chuckle "I never knew what I was capable of" and to their surprise, she turned around saying "it´s best you leave"
"but we just got here" Anna objected, stepping up the stairs. Elsa tensed by this, and Riku quickly took notice that it wasn´t because she was angry. she was afraid.
"you belong in Arendelle. I belong here" Elsa stepped further away from Anna "alone, where I can´t hurt anyone"
"Actually about that... you see when you left Arendelle is..."
Elsa turned to her sister, having both fear and curiosity in her eyes "what happed?"
"... you froze everything, Arendelle is trapped in deep snow" Anna told her sister, winching from the horror Elsa got on her face, realizing what she has done. adding rather cheerful "but that´s okay, you can just unfreeze it"
"no, I can´t... I don´t know how!"
Sora blinked looked up, for it has suddenly began snowing inside the castle. he turned to Riku and Kairi, asking a little wary "what is going on?"
Riku glanced up to Elsa who seems to getting more and more scared. "it´s Elsa"
Sora and Kairi followed his eyes, watching Anna trying to encourage her sister in doing what she thought her sister could, but Elsa knew she couldn´t.
"I know you can do it." she stepped closer to Elsa who fought against her own powers, but the snow only got worse, it turned into a small blizzard.
Kairi stepped towards the two siblings "Elsa, please-" she stopped when the storm suddenly got stronger. Sora quickly went over to her, doing his best to protect her. both turned to the siblings "Anna!" he called, trying to warn her
"together we can do this!" Anna continued, not sensing the danger. Elsa cried in fear of herself and without her knowing, a flurry of ice flew out and hit Anna. it would also have hit the trio if not Riku have made a shield. the oldest of the three wielders dismissed the shield and ran over to Anna who fell onto her knees, holding over her chest.
"Anna!" he offered his hand to her "you alright?"
"I´m fine" Anna dismissed him and got on her feet on her own.
Elsa turned around, first now realizing what she has done. she knew she was endangering them all, "you have to leave"
"no, I know we can figuring this out, together" Anna said, refusing to give up. Riku nodded and said to the scared queen "you can´t let the fear control you"
"it does! for what power does any of you have to stop this winter?" Elsa asked, taking a hand up to her own chest "to stop me?"
Riku eyes wide slightly of this, for just then, he saw himself in Elsa. when he was trapped inside the darkness, avoiding his friends, in his only way to keep them save... from him.
"I´m not leaving without you Elsa!" Anna continued stubbornly. Elsa stepped further away from them, saying hash "yes you are" and from a burst of her magic of winter. a giant snowman appeared. it roared, making Riku summon his keyblade, but before he even could make any move. the huge snowman punched him outside.
Sora and Kairi ran over to Anna, and together they ran outside with the big snowman in close pursuit. outside, Kairi helped Anna over to Kristoff, asking them to stand back.
"be careful" Kristoff said and took Anna further awat. with them gone, Sora and Kairi went into battle stage. seconds later Riku joined them, looking more annoyed than hurt over being punched. they attacked the snowman and it proved to be tougher than it looked, being magically created, it did not die if its arm got cut off or if a blade skewed its chest. with Riku blasting dark fire balls at its face, keeping it focus away, it succeed Sora cutting off its leg, causing it to fall, but before it did, it grabbed Kairi and pulled her down with it.
"Kairi!" Sora cried and leaped out after her, with Riku close behind. it succeeded them getting to her in time, and as Sora pulled Kairi to safety, the snowman fell down the mountain.
"that was a bit too close" Kairi admitted, which her two friends wouldn´t disagree on.
"you´re not out of the woods yet"
"whose there?!" Sora asked, turning around along with his two friends. behind them stood a man in a black cloak.
"the Organization" Riku sneered, well knowing what that meant "are you here to pick a fight, or cast this world into darkness?"
the cloaked chuckled and answered "neither of those, for now at least" he replied with his strange voice. the trio blinked and Sora asked "then... what do you want?"
"to give you a warning" the hooded replied and turned around, facing Anna and Kristoff.
"what warning?" Anna asked with narrowed eyes.
the hooded pointed at hers chest "your heart has been frozen"
"frozen?" Kairi asked. the hooded nodded and explained surprisingly friendly to Anna "that´s right. the queen froze your heart. soon, you will be nothing but ice."
Anna gasped as she took her hands to her chest, shocked and also scared of these news. still there was something that confused her. she eyed the hooded, confused "why are you telling us this?"
behind the hood, a smile could be spotted and the hooded replied "only an act of true love will thaw the ice, if not... you will be nothing but a statue of pure ice." a portal opened behind him and the hooded backed into it as he remarked "better hurry though, her time is running out"
"wait!" Sora tried to stop the hooded, but he was already gone, frustrated at this, Sora got no other choice but to do what the hooded wanted. he turned to Anna, asking "anyone you know who can help?"
"Hans" Anna said and told that her love was back in Arendelle. Sora nodded and as fast as they could, they went towards Arendelle.
_
up the mountain the strange hooded watched the group leave, he turned his hidden face to the sound of someone approaching "took you long enough" he said casual and turned around to face Hans.
he nodded towards the castle "the ice queen is in there"
Hans nodded and went towards the castle, but stooped and said hard to the hooded "no harm will come to the queen, you understand?"
"your wish is my command" the hooded said in a mocking bow. Hans narrowed his eyes at him, before they both went into the castle.
the hooded spotted Elsa first, ignoring Hans, he leaped up the stair with his weapons in hand.
trapped in the tower, Elsa turned fearful around to the hooded who calmly went towards her, showing he was out to harm her with the two strange swords in his hands.
"don´t come any closer!" Elsa warned, mostly because she was afraid to harm him.
the hooded chuckled, he eyed her underneath the hood "you should rather worry about yourself" and he attacked her.
Elsa shielded herself with her hands, and her magic reacted. a shield of ice appeared, stopped the hooded´s swords. she opened her eyes and stared shocked at the blade that had almost struck her.
with a grunt, the hooded pulled the blade out from the ice and tried to attack her again. now feeling really scared and desperate, Elsa tried to trap her attack with ice "stay away!" but the hooded was too agile and fast for her ice magic.
finally Elsa stopped being on the defensive and went to attack, she blasted ice at the hooded, knocking the dark blade out from his hand and made him leap for his life by making spears shooting out from the floor. the hooded struck them down with his other light blue blade, but that too got blasted out from his hands and the spears of ice turned into two walls, shutting him off to get away. Elsa then made another wall, this one moving against the hooded, pushing him outside.
the hooded backed away from the moving wall, glancing back to the edge Elsa pushed him towards. with only a foot ledge to stand on, the hooded asked rather casual "are you going to kill me?"
Elsa´s eyes wide of the words, more so when Hans finally arrived and said after he saw what she was doing "Queen Elsa, don´t be the monster they fear you are!"
she turned around to Hans, realizing what she was doing and stopped her magic. the hooded shrugged and called his weapons in flash of light and darkness "guess not" he struck the wall that was pushing him down, making parts of it hit Elsa with enough force that it knocked her out.
he went over to the unconscious Queen and to the enraged Prince.
"you disobeyed my orders!"
the hooded glanced to him, not really caring "she wouldn´t have listing to you" all what mattered to him was that they got the queen. now they needed to return back to the castle as fast as possible, before Sora and his team reached Arendelle.
_
"where do all these Heartless come from?!" Sora asked pretty frustrated, at time they truly needed to hurry. Heartless just have to appear and slow them down. a single ice formed Heartless got him from behind, luckily a single strike took it down. Kairi ran over to him and used her healing magic "we should let them go on ahead" she suggested, glancing to Kristoff who was forced to carry Anna because she has gotten too weak. "it would go faster if they ride on Sven"
"but, what about the Heartless?" Sora asked, he did not like this. not one bit, Anna and Kristoff could not protect themselves against the Heartless.
"just open a path for us" Kristoff said and jumped on his reindeer with Anna.
Sora did not like this, but right now, as thing stood... it was their only choice. he nodded reluctant "just be careful"
"and ride fast" Riku added.
"we will" Kristoff nodded.
the three wielders attached the Heartless, making a hole for Kristoff to get through.
after a while, it succeed Sora, Riku and Kairi to get rid of the Heartless and follow the already far gone reindeer. near the town, Olaf slide past the trio "meet you guys at the castle!" he called cheerful.
"stay out of sight Olaf!" Riku called and the snowman promised he would, and he disappeared behind some buildings.
seconds later, Olaf said hi and someone screamed. Riku head dropped at this and said to his two friends, "you go on ahead" he jumped off the road and towards where Olaf went "I´ll go and get that silly snowman out of trouble!"
Sora nodded to his friend and with a "let´s go" to Kairi, they ran towards the castle, only to once again being stopped by Heartless.
meanwhile inside the one of castle´s many rooms, stood the hooded and one other wearing the black cloak. this other one did not have the hood up, so the face of Ansem the Seeker of Darkness could be seen.
"what´s so important with this queen?" the hooded asked Ansem from the wall he stood up against.
Ansem glanced smirking to the rather younger comrade "you of all should know how fear can spread inside the heart, how it will weaken the light and strengthen the darkness"
"actually I don´t know, because my darkness is not fear" the hooded stepped away from the wall and glared at Ansem "my darkness is the hatred and despair, and you guys gave it"
Ansem eyed him with a small smirk on his lips "and you better remember it" he said, as one of the few who knew this man´s identity. he and the hooded turned to the door as Hans went inside the big common room, just after have spoken with Elsa.
the hooded gave Ansem once look, before asking the Prince "what did she say?"
Hans sighted with a lost glance in his blue eyes "she can´t bring back summer"
Ansem smirked "fear is controlling her heart, a few more push and fear will turn into despair and darkness will take her heart"
"what?" Hans blinked, not getting what this Seeker of Darkness was talking about. the hooded went past Ansem "ignore him, and just let me worry about it" he stopped near Hans, asking "what are you planning to do now?"
"I need to find Anna"
the hooded nodded and glanced back to Ansem. the Heartless of Xehanort gave him one look, before he left by portal. the hooded turned back to Hans and said calmly "I will go and search for-" he got interrupted by the door knocking. the door opened and inside came two servants, holding a very weak Anna.
"Anna?" Hans ran over to her, he gasped once he touched her icy cold skin "you´re so cold"
"Hans, you have to kiss me" Anna said, which caused the prince to confusions "what?"
"now!" she begged in a orderly way. the hooded chuckled and explained "the Queen froze her heart"
Anna nodded and turned back to Hans there asked in disbelief "I thought you said she would never hurt you"
"I was wrong" Anna succeed to say before she almost collapsed down by the ice curse her own sister had casted over her. Hans caught her in last second and took her to the sofa. the hooded went towards the door.
"thank you"
the hooded stopped and glanced to Anna who has said those words from the heart. "thank you, without you, I would´ve..."
"I will leave you two alone" was all he said and gently closed the doors.
Anna turned back to Hans, telling him "only an act of true love can save me"
"a true loves kiss" Hans muttered to himself, he gently lifted her chin and went closer to kiss her, but just before their lips touched, he smirked evilly moved away with "Oh, Anna. If only there was someone out there who loved you."
"...what?" Anna asked in confusions and disbelief. "y-you said you did"
Hans stepped away from her, for the first time showing his true colors "As thirteenth in line in my own kingdom, I didn't stand a chance. I knew, I'd have to marry into the throne somewhere..."
"What-what are you talking about?" Anna asked, shocked of this sudden change. Hans smirked told her as he picked up a pitcher of water and wanders slowly towards the fireplace. "As heir, Elsa was preferable, of course, but no one was getting anywhere with her. But you... You were so desperate for love, you were willing to marry me, just like that! I figured after we married, I'd have to stage a little accident for Elsa." and he extinguished the fire with the water. Anna tried to stop him, but she collapsed on the floor, unable to stop him.
Hans turned back to Anna, still with that evil smirk on his face "But then she doomed herself, and you were dumb enough to go after her."
"please..."
he ignored her and continued with a chuckle "All that's left now is to... kill Elsa and bring back summer."
"you´re no match for Elsa" Anna bravely said, added "and my friends won´t allow it!"
Hans knelt down before her, smile more genuine now, he lifted her chin "you WERE no match for Elsa, as for your friends, my friends will make sure they aren´t around when I save Arendelle from destruction" and with those words, he left the room, leaving Anna to turn into ice alone in the room.
outside the room, the hooded stood once against up against a wall, waiting for Hans. he looked up as Hans stepped out and said "now, to the queen" he turned to the hooded said with the best face of acting worry to the hooded "we can´t have that her friends around, please get rid of them"
with a single nod, the hooded left Hans who followed him with the eyes, before the evil smile returned. Hans himself went to finish off queen Elsa.
_
"that was fun! let´s do it again" Olaf giggled while walking beside a rather grumpy Riku, mostly because he was the one who have to get that stupid snowman out of trouble and somehow they both have ended up inside the castle. Riku did not reply Olaf, he would have, if not he have heard someone weakly beg for help behind a door. he stopped and tried opening the door, it was locked.
Olaf stopped as well and went to the door, asking clueless "why are we stopping? is Hans in there? or maybe Anna? oh oh maybe both of-"
"quiet" Riku hushed him and sat his ears towards the door, he gasped of the weak voice asking weakly "...O-Olaf..?"
it was Anna. Riku stepped back, and pointed his keyblade at the door, in a beam of light, the door unlocked, allowing him and the snowman inside.
"Anna!" Riku called and tried to get Anna back on her feet. Olaf did the same two seconds, before he ran over to the fireplace, and turned the fire back on.
"Olaf, g-get aw-away from there!" Anna warned weakly, for the snowman stood far too close to the warm fire.
"whoa, so this is heat" Olaf awed and sat his hands close, which made it burn as well, the snowman quickly waved his hand to make the fire go away "oh but don´t touch it"
Riku rolled his eyes and helped Anna over to the fire, both chuckling slightly of the snowman, even he was endangering himself being near the heat. with Anna close to the fire, Riku pushed Olaf away from the heat "keep your distance"
"why?"
"you´ll melt"
Olaf smiled to both of them "some people are worth melting for" as part of his face melted. quickly he took his face in a funny grimaces and remarked innocent "maybe just not in this second"
Riku shook his head with a smile and asked the snowman go to the window.
meanwhile Riku sat down beside Anna, asked "where´s Hans?"
Anna sighted and lowered her head "I was wrong about him... it wasn´t true love" she eyed Riku worried "he´s not the person I thought he were, he´s going to kill Elsa"
Riku eyes wide of the news, he wanted to help Elsa, but he also wanted to make sure Anna did not die as well "I can´t leave you like this"
"please Riku, you have to help my sister"
"what about your act of true love?" Olaf asked.
"I don´t even know what true love is..." Anna admitted sad, Olaf smiled and said that he did. he went over to her and Riku, telling them "love is... putting someone else's need before yours, like... you know, how Kristoff put you back here to Hans and left you forever."
Anna blinked and asked the snowman "Kristoff loves me?"
before Olaf could make a remark of how clueless Anna truly was about love, the window tore open and send a chilly wind inside the room, which could cause disaster for the weaken Anna.
"don´t worry, I got it!" and the snowman ran over to the window, he closed the first, then stopped at the second "wait, hang on, I´m getting something.
Riku went over to him and scanned the outside, outside the city, Riku saw Kristoff who had left after have dropped Anna off at the castle. he had returned and have joined Sora and Kairi who haven´t gotten very close to the castle, all thanks to another horde of Heartless.
"it´s Kristoff, and Sora and Kairi!"
"I guess I was wrong" Olaf turned back to Anna, looking rather disappointed "I guess Kristoff doesn't love you enough to leave you behind"
"help me up" Anna suddenly ordered, trying to get onto her feet. with a few steps, Riku and Olaf was beside her and the silver haired boy said "you need to stay at the fire and keep yourself warm"
"I need to go to Kristoff" she argued. Riku blinked, understanding, still he found it a bit too risky. Olaf took a little longer to understand, when he finally did, he jumped eagerly up and down "your act of true love is right down there, let´s... go?" they looked up for ice was arriving on the ceiling and it was moving fast, in matter of seconds, almost the whole room was covered in ice and spears of ice sprouted out from anywhere. "
let´s go!" Riku said, took Anna´s hand and dragged her outside, for letting her stay in there would be too dangerous. "hurry!" he called, using his keyblade to rid the path for the dangerous ice spears.
he stopped near a window and broke it with a single slash "this way!" he called and helped the weaken Anna out, they slide down to the ground, here they went on foot through the storm of snow, very difficult to see what was right before you for all the snow,
_
outside the storm has turned into a powerful blizzard, and in middle of it walked Elsa, she have escaped from prison and unknowingly escaped from Hans´s blade.
she ran as fast she could, only stopping when a familiar voice said loud in the swirling storm "you can´t run from this!" she turned around and saw it was the hooded from before, blocking her path. she turned around, trying to get away, but from the other side, Hans appeared, struggling against the storm of snow. "please, you have to stop this!" Hans said through the storm.
also believing that he was a good guy, Elsa requested to the prince "just take care of my sister"
"your sister?" Hans asked, moving closer to her "she returned from the mountains, weak and cold. she said that you froze her heart"
"..no" Elsa gasped, having her worst nightmare coming true. but Hans wasn´t done, in his good acting of being a good guy he told her "I tried to save her, but it was too late... your sister is dead!"
"because of you" the hooded told her harshly, making Elsa fall to her knees in despair of losing her sister. the storm stopped and everything fell into a dead silence, only a very few things was moving.
Sora struck the last Heartless down and turned around to the sound of someone crying. he saw Elsa on her knees, crying with who he guessed was Hans before her. not far from Hans stood the hooded man.
not far from them, Riku, Olaf and a almost frozen to death Anna stood still, shocked of the sudden stop of the storm. Riku looked around and saw his friends, he sighted in relief "there they are"
Kristoff noticed Riku and Anna as well, and with Anna´s names on his lips, he ran towards them.
Anna staggered towards him as well, but both her and Riku turned to the sound of a sheathing sword. again not far, they saw that the hooded has in mind of striking Elsa down, probably turning her into a Heartless. Anna gave the approaching Kristoff one look, before she made the choice. as fast as her frozen body could, she went towards her sister. Riku helped her, but Heartless appeared, forcing him to fight them and hope Anna wouldn´t be struck by them.
the hooded struck his blade against the crying queen, and just in that second, Anna stepped in between and turned into ice, knocking the blade out from the hooded´s hand.
the hooded stared in what could be disbelief of the sacrifice. he stepped away, muttering "sacrificing herself for her family..."
hearing this, Elsa turned around, saw her sister and screamed her sisters name. she ran up to Anna´s icy body and in tears of what she has done, fell crying over the statue.
Hans took this to attack, but was stopped by both Sora and Riku,
"don´t you dare" Riku growled and Sora turned his enraged eyes to the hooded who stood a distance from them all.
the hooded dismissed his blade, glanced to the crying Elsa, muttering "there is no need" he stepped further away "the point is proved"
Sora blinked confused of what he meant, he got the answer by Anna slowly turned into normal. Anna gasped and moved after have been turned back to normal. Elsa looked up, smiling in relief "Anna?" and then the two sisters hugged each other. Elsa stepped away, asking confused "you scarified yourself for me?"
Anna smiled genuine back, replying the most simple answer she could "I love you"
Olaf gasped in delight and jumped up and down as well "an act of true love-"
"will thaw a frozen heart" the hooded ended and turned to Elsa who eyed him, thinking of the words. then she muttered to herself "love will thaw?" she smiled to her sister "love! of course!"
"you know what to do"
"do what?" Anna asked confused the hooded, she turned to her sister who smiled looked at her hands.
Elsa smile grew bigger and with the answer to her powers, she lifted her hands and to everyone's awe, the ice, snow and cold flew gently upward, the ship they stood on lifted itself out from the thawing waters and leaving them safe and dry. everywhere, the ice flew upward, making a magical performance as the snow disappeared, returning back into the warm summer. Riku nudged his friends and made a sign for them to look up, Sora and Kairi did, and up in the sky, a giant and beautiful snowflake could be seen, and with the orders of Elsa, it disappeared like white fireworks.
"woah!" Sora gasped and looked around, the winter was gone and the summer was once again back.
Anna smiled to her sister "I knew you could do it"
"hands down, this is the best day of my life" Olaf said and to everyone's horror and sadness, he began melting "and probably my last"
"hang on little guy" Elsa smiled, returned him to normal with her magic and gave him a cloud that offered him protection from the heat. Olaf leaped delightful of this "my own flurry!"
Sora, Riku and Kairi chuckled at the silly snowman, however they turned to Hans who was trying to escape.
Kristoff went towards the prince, having a face he wanted to hurt him.. hard. Anna stopped him and rather collected, she went towards the treasons prince.
"Anna?" he asked in disbelief "b-but she froze your heart"
"the only frozen heart around here is yours" she turned around, leaving him with a baffled face, which seconds later got punched by Anna. hard enough for him to drop right into the water. the three wielders winched of this, which later turned into a small laugher, for Hans surly deserved it.

with everything back to normal and the world safe, it was time for Sora and his friends moving on.
"do you have to leave?" Anna asked them, feeling sad that her friends have to leave, now everything was good.
Sora nodded "yeah, we still have an enemy to deal with"
"will you return?" Elsa asked, adding with a smile "I hear you´re not used to winter"
Riku smiled to the queen "we would love to come back, and you don´t have to make it winter for our sake" he added, making the others chuckle, Elsa as well.
Elsa stopped first and said deep from her heart "thank you, for everything"
Sora took his hands behind his head, smiling. Kairi nodded with just as big smile as Sora, Riku smile was smaller but still he felt the same as his two friends.
the trio turned around and left "see ya!"
"bye" Elsa and Anna waved.
outside Arendelle, Sora stopped and turned around, behind him stood the hooded. Sora called his
keyblade, but did not go in battle stage, for he did not know how he should threat this person anymore. "who are you?" he asked.
"you´re not the one who deserves that answer" the hooded replied friendly yet hard, telling that no matter what Sora does, he won´t answer that question.
Sora turned fully around to him, asking instead "why are you here then? you´re not like the others we have encountered"
the hooded sighted and said softly "Xehanort conjured me here. I shouldn´t actually exist, that is the only reason"
"... are you a Nobody?"
the hooded did not answer that question, instead he said "there is a book, a book that has written of what is fated to transpired and what already has happen." he sat his hand on his chest "I am proof of that book, I am here, even though I shouldn´t be, not yet at least. my fate has yet not been decided"
"huh? what do you mean?"
"however the book, known as the Book of Prophecies has said that you; Sora will be the wielder of a complete form of the Keyblade that can return hearts"
Sora blinked, confused of the hooded words, still the name of that keyblade sounded familiar "why does that sound so familiar?"
"you have seen it, you saw an uncompleted form of it once, and you struck yourself with it"
"...that is the Key of Hearts?!" Sora gasped. the hooded nodded and said "the book said you will complete it, but not when. I want you gather the seven Princesses and do it now"
"why are you saying this?" Sora asked confused why this Seeker of Darkness was helping him "why are you helping?"
again the hooded did not answer, a portal opened behind him and before he disappeared inside of it he said "Return to Radiant Garden, there is someone who can help you, but hurry, the time is running out" and he was gone, leaving Sora alone.
"I can´t say I trust this guy, but..." Sora looked up to the could free sky "something tells me he means well"
