"Some of my men returned from Arendelle."
"I ordered you to go with them."
"An order I chose to ignore."
"Give me a report."
"The mission did not go as planned. There were some... complications."
"What do you mean 'not as planned'?"
"Only a handful of them returned. Only about a fourth of them. They did not return with Queen Elsa."
"Then you have failed me. I might as well strike you down where you stand."
"They did not return empty handed sir."
"Elaborate."
"We were able to kidnap Princess Anna."
"She is useless to us. Why were you not able to get Elsa?"
"If I hear right, she had someone with her. Someone who foiled our plans. Someone who can form fire from his hands."
"So Kai has betrayed us?"
"Looks that way."
"That explains your missing men."
"Indeed. Sir, we do have Princess Anna as our prisoner. She is in our holds. Would you like to speak to her?"
"Later. But, we haven't progressed much."
"I wouldn't say that."
"Humor me then."
"There's no doubt about it that Elsa would send men to rescue Anna. Most likely she'll go personally."
"Continue."
"She'll come right to us."
"Except for one problem."
"What?"
"Kai."
"Yes. He'll surely tell her about us. He'll surely warn her its a trap."
"Unless she doesn't let him go with her."
"Sir, you know Kai, he'll find a way."
"He surely will. Unless..."
"Unless?"
"You go and make sure Kai wouldn't be a burden."
"You want me to kill him."
"I dont't want you to kill him, just to make sure he doesn't foil our plans."
"I won't need to."
"And why is that?"
"We have men on the inside."
"I wouldn't trust a task this important to another random bunch of bandits again."
"What are you suggesting."
"You will personally make sure Kai is out of the picture."
"I've got a better idea."
"Oh?"
"I'll let Kai play his part. I'll play along with him. I'll talk to him. I'll play dumb."
"Until?"
"You just let me worry about that."
Kai sat at the edge of the docks, his legs dangeing over the sea. He was angered, sad, and disappointed that he was forbidden to go on this journey. Queen Elsa needed his help more than anything. She just didn't know it.
He stared out the royal ship that Elsa and Travis will leave on in one hour, The Royal Sails II. He didn't exactly know what happened to the original Royal Sails. He just knew that whatever happened, it was a huge tragedy.
He had to think about someway to go on this journey. While he thought, someone from behind came.
"Hey." said a voice behind.
Kai turned around to find a blonde man, a tad taller than Kai, standing behind him.
"You must be Kristoff." Kai said.
"You must be the infamous Kai." Kristoff said.
"Infamous?"
"You kind of have a reputation here on Arendelle." Kristoff sat next to Kai. "A bad reputation."
"It's just the way I do things."
"Well, that sucks."
They sat there for a minute in silence. Finally Kristoff spoke out.
"Why the long face?"
Kai looked at the ocean.
"They won't let me help."
"Why?" Kristoff asked.
"Apperently, I'm too much of a stranger."
"Well, its not every day a random guy shows up in Arendelle who can shoot fire."
"Yeah, I can't blame them. You're really dealing with Anna's kidnapping really well."
"Says who."
"You're not griefing."
"I'm not showing it." Kristoff said.
Kristoff was distraught on the inside. He was even more distraught when he learned he couldn't help Anna. Kristoff had to appear strong for Arendelle.
"I have to keep a straight face for them." Kristoff said.
"Fair enough." Kai said.
Kai took another glance at the ship. He saw people loading supplies in it.
"You should go." Kristoff said.
"What do you mean by that?" Kai asked.
"Go on the journey. It seems thats where you think your duty lies."
"They won't allow me."
"Who cares? I'll help you if you want."
Kai was confused. He just formally met Kristoff, and now he's offering help with breaking a Queen's orders. He wanted to know what made him tick.
"Why are you so willing to help me?" Kai asked.
"I want to ensure Anna's safety. I'm needed here. I'm afraid it'll take more than just Elsa and a few men to rescue her. I've seen the way these guys fight. They're aggressive. Unhessitant. I've heard you can match them."
"How does adding another guy to this journey help?"
"Well, I can always take back my offer, and tell the authorities you were planning to commit treason by going against the Queen." He threatened.
"Okay, okay, okay. I'll take your help. Now, what do you have in mind?"
It seemed that Kai was never able to enjoy a nice cruise through the sea.
Once again, Kai found himself stowing away below deck of the Royal II. This time, he hid inside a crate. It wasn't the most confortable place to hide, but it concealed him well. Miraculously, no one noticed him.
Kai was grateful and lucky Kristoff helped him on the ship. The plan was odd, but somehow it worked. It involved a duet between a pig and Kristoff's reindeer, Sven.
Kai knew the journey wouldn't take long if the navigators were good. He didn't know when he would reveal himself to the crew. Not now, he thought to himself.
A sailor walked towards Kai crate. He must've been one of Summers' guards. Kai's breath got heavy as the guard got closer.
"Hey, whats in this crate?" The guard yelled to a fellow guard.
"Does it matter?" the other guard asked.
"Guess not."
The guard turned and walked away.
Kai stuck his head out of the crate, and watched the guard walk away.
"Whew," he whispered, "that was close."
"I know right!" said a voice next to Kai.
Kai turned to his right, and found a snowman sticking it's head out of the crate next to him.
"Ahhh!" Kai yelled.
Kai has seen some crazy things in his life. But, this was just bizarre. Then again, he's seen a group of talking rocks once.
"Ahh!" Olaf responded.
"What? How? You?" Kai studdered.
"I apologize sir. I believe we've got off on the wrong foot. Let's start over. Hi, I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs."
Olaf stck his stick in front of Kai, expecting a hand shake. Kai shook the stick.
"Uh... Kai." He said.
"You're the fire guy right?"
"Sure."
Olaf smacked Kai.
"You ruined the wedding!" Olaf said angrily. An angry snowman? Well thats a first.
"I didn't plan on it."
"Okay!" Olaf said happily. "I instantly forgive you."
"You're not that bright are you?" Kai asked.
"Of course I'm not!" Olaf replied. "I don't have a brain!"
"Olaf, why are you here?"
"To help Elsa of course! You?"
"Same reason."
"Yippee! We should be friends."
"Olaf you keep it down."
"Why?"
"Because you might attract attention."
"Too late!" He said merrily.
Kai turned his head to find the end of a sword being pointed at him. A guard found out about Kai's location. Kai gulped.
"Hi," Olaf said to the guard, "I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs!"
"Are you okay my Queen?" Travis asked Elsa.
They stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the ocean. At these times, it actually seemed peaceful. Both Elsa and Travis knew it was going to end. Sooner or later, they would have to face the true threat.
"Of course I'm not." Elsa answered. "I'll rest easy when Anna's safe."
"We'll save her." Travis said, trying to confort her.
"I know. I hope. I'm glad you're here Captain. I really need someone right now."
Travis put his hand on her back.
"I'm here for you Elsa."
"I feel bad for Kristoff."
"How so?"
"If there was anyone else in the world who also wanted to go with me this badly, it would be Kristoff."
"What about Kai?"
Elsa looked away from Travis. She didn't want to think about Kai right now. She had been, in a way, cruel to Kai. She was ungrateful to him after he saves her life. She forbids him to occumpany her. Maybe she was wrong about Kai. Maybe he wasn't that much of a stranger. Maybe she should've let him come.
"Let's try not to talk about him okay." Elsa said.
Travis nodded.
"You know," Travis said, "it seems that your sister getting kidnapped was all that was needed for us to have some time alone."
"Travis, you didn't plan to kidnap her just to have someone alone time with me now?" Elsa joked.
They laughed. They enjoyed eachothers company. They laughed until they started staring at each other's eyes. They stared for a long time. Elsa was convinced that Travis was the one. She was the one who would fill the empty hole in her heart. They both leaned in for a kiss.
"Milady." said an interrupting guard.
They both let go of each other's embrace, and focused their attention on the guard.
"It seems that we have some stowaways on the ship."
The guard stepped to the right, and Kai and Olaf walked up. Olaf was free to move around, but Kai had a sword pointed to his back.
"Oh no." said both Elsa and Travis.
Kai smiled guiltily.
"Hi," he said, "how's it going guys?"
