"Rise and shine Princess." said a voice from outside the cell room.

Anna was sleeping on the stone floor. She was put in this underground cell ever since she was kidnapped, and arrived in the city. The bandits wouldn't tell her where she was.

Anna woke up, and light shined in her eyes. It came from the open door, and a silhouette stood there. Anna's eyes adjusted, and the man became more clear. It was an older man, with white hair and wrinkles, wearing elegant clothes. Anna recognized him from Elsa's coronation.

"King Lyre?" She asked.

"Yes." He answered.

"Are you here to get me out?" Anna asked.

"Get you out? Hahaha."

"What's so funny?"

Lyre walked to Anna and crouched.

"My dear, I'm with these people. I run this place."

"What?" She asked confused. "Why? I thought... I thought-"

"Think what you like. This is who I am."

"Release me immediately Lyre!"

"You're not in a position to make demands Princess. But, I apologize."

"For what?"

"For kidnapping you."

"Do you expect me to forgive you?"

"Of course not, Anna. Your sister, Elsa, was our true target."

"You won't lay a finger on her."

"We won't have to."

"Why is that Lyre?"

Lyre stood up and walked towards the door.

"Because," he said, "she's coming to us."

"What do you mean by that?" Anna asked angrily.

"The Queen voluntarily went on a rescue mission for you."

"She will save me."

"Oh I don't think so. You see, I have men on the inside. Men who will help ensure I get what I want. Men who you think you trust."

"You won't get away with this."

"Oh, I already have."

"The last guy who said that ended up losing everything he owned."

"The last guy who said that didn't have Bandits."

Lyre walked out and closed the door. Anna's cell became dark once again. Anna started to cry while wondering her fate.


"Something's fishy." Kai said.

"I'll say," Olaf agreed, "we're in the middle of the ocean."

Kai and Olaf stood at the side of the ship, overlooking the sea. Elsa and Travis were having a conversation on the ship's bow.

"No, not like that." Kai corrected. "I mean something's not right."

"What do you mean?" asked Olaf.

"We've been traveling for about 12 hours."

"So?"

"This journey shouldn't take any more than 5."

"What are you suggesting?"

"We're going off course."

Kai rushed down below deck, into the navigation center. 3 guards were overlooking a map that showed ship routes.

"Hey, you're not permitted in this area." said a guard.

Kai ignored him and looked at the map. He saw a specific route highlighted. it was the route they were taking. He followed it to find where it lead. It didn't lead to Teranhall. It lead to another island, far from Teranhall. Kai knew this island.

The island was a Bandit post. It was a rendezvous center for the Bandits, and it's where the Bandits stored many things. It stored goods, supplies, and sometimes people.

"Why are we going to a Bandit Island?" Kai demanded an answer.

The navigators looked at each other and nodded their heads. One of them jumped out of his seat and lunged at Kai with his knife drawn. Kai was lucky he had good reflexes. Kai quickly pulled out his dagger, and countered the incoming knife. Kai punched the guard in the face, knocking him out. All of this in about 3 seconds.

Kai looked at the other guards who stood up. He blasted one of them in the chest, knocking him down instantly. He ran toward the final one, and pinned him to the wall.

"I need answers. Now!" Kai demanded.

The guard laughed.

"Long live Lyre!" he said. Then, in Kai's mind, it clicked.

Kai headbutted the man, knocking him out instantly.

Kai put the pieces together. Bandits. He was surrounded by bandits. Kai remembered Elsa was on deck, without his protection. Kai ran up the stairs leading to the deck to warn Elsa.

Kai saw Elsa, still standing next to Travis.

"Elsa!" He yelled. "Bandits! This ship is filled with Bandits!"

"Indeed it is." Travis said.

As he said that, Travis grabbed Elsa's arms and put them behind her back in a position that could break them. Elsa screamed. She tried to use her ice powers, but she was in too much pain to concentrate.

Kai started to run to Elsa's aid, but the butt of a sword hit him in the back of the head. Kai fell down to his knees and someone quickly got a rope and tied his hands. A few bandits came and pointed their spears toward his neck.

"Travis, what is the meaning of this?!" said Elsa.

Elsa was confused. Travis, the man she thought she loved, was hurting her. The entire crew was against her.

"I'm just doing what I was told, Queen." Travis said. "Bring Kai closer!" he ordered his guards.

They forced Kai to stand up and walk closer to Elsa and Summers. They kicked him down to the ground when he reached a certain distance.

"Let's start explaining." Travis said. "We're Bandits. I've been undercover as your Captain of the Guard ever since I came to Arendelle."

"Explain these other guys then." Kai asked.

"Oh, them? They're the same Bandits you faced at the party. They had enough time to change." Travis answered.

"What do you want Summers?" Elsa asked.

She was distraught. The man she tried so hard to create a relationship with was a Bandit. Travis had no interest in Elsa. He was just like Hans.

"I want to complete my mission. To bring you to the Guild's base." Travis answered.

"Why Summers?" Elsa continued. "Why did you get close to me."

"I'll just explain our situation." He said. "I was the inside man for the Bandit leader, King Lyre. I knew the plan all along. I got close to you in case of something like this ever happening. You would be less if you were with someone you trusted. But, Kai had to go off and ruin our plan. He just had to reveal our identities. No matter. It'll just be a little rough to escort you, because of your powers and all."

Travis put his mouth to Elsa's ear and whispered "I like rough."

"As for you, Kai," he continued, "I offer you a chance to do good and help us. You know you can't resist."

Kai spit and landed near Travis' shoe. Travis was unamused.

"I'll take that as a no." Travis said.

Now Kai remembered where he'd seen Travis. He was the one Kai bumped into many years ago. Kai then started to wonder, where was Olaf? Just as he thought of the snowman, he appeared behind the men with spears pointed at Kai's neck.

"Um... whats going on?" said Olaf.

A bandit ran towards Olaf and kicked him off the side of the ship.

"No!" Elsa said. Kai closed his eyes, then opened them up with anger.

He had to save Elsa. He came up with 2 plans. Plan A was to defeat the Bandits, and kick them off the boat. Plan B was to escape the boat on the rowboat that was always hanging over the side. Both options were risky. Kai scanned the area around him. Abot 5 people were pinning him down, and the rest of the Bandits were all over the ship.

Travis kept talking confidently. He was giving a speech about how they'd won. Elsa was still in his grasp. Kai moved his fingers over the rope and started a little fire from his fingertips, which started burning the rope. The Bandits were too distracted by Travis to notice.

Summers gave his final words of his speech, and the bandits raised their spears in the air. It was Kai's opportunity.

He shot a blast of fire towards Travis' head, careful not to hit Elsa. Travis had reacted quicker than Kai expected. Travis threw Elsa down next to him, and dodged the attack. The fire hit the huge mast behind Travis. The mast caught on fire quickly, and it spread to the sails.

Kai created a wall of fire behind him, separating himself and the Bandits. Kai turned and saw Elsa standing over Travis. Elsa froze Travis' feet and hands, trapping him on the floor.

It was a good thing Elsa got up before Travis. She formed a small ice spear in her hand, and raised it up over Travis.

"This will teach you with messing with me!" She said angrily. She jabbed the spear at Travis, but a hand stopped her arms before the spear could make contact with his body.

Kai was holding Elsa's arm, preventing her from killing Summers.

"Elsa," Kai said, "you're not like him. You don't hurt people."

"I've hurt people! People I care about!" Elsa yelled. She tried to stab Travis through Kai's force, but Kai's strength held her back.

"We've all hurt people we cared about." Kai lectured. "The difference between you ad him though is that you have a heart."

Elsa looked a Kai, and then Travis. The ice spear disappeared into the air, and she broke down crying on Kai's shoulder.

"Elsa, I need you to be strong. Because right now, we're being attacked by 20 or so Bandits."

Bandits charged the 2, and they got into a battle position. But, Travis broke out of his icy chains and got up next to Kai. He tried to punch Kai, but Kai countered his punch. Kai focused his attention on Travis.

"Elsa, I trusting you to take care of those Bandits." Kai said while fighting Travis.

"Done." She said. Kai turned his head to find the 20 charging bandits frozen, mid-run.

"Cool." He said, but Travis hit him in the back of the head. Kai fell to the ground.

Elsa was about to freeze Travis as well, but Kai stopped her.

"This is my fight, Elsa!" Kai yelled.

All of this fighting made the 2 forget that the ship was burning. The fire spread almost all over the ship. It was slowly sinking. Plan A wouldn't work.

"Get to the rowboat!" Kai ordered.

Elsa nodded, and ran off to where the rowboat would be hanging, trying to avoid the fire as she ran.

Kai heard Travis draw his sword above him. Kai rolled to the side, and if he didn't, Kai would've been stabbed by Travis. Kai took out his dagger and jumped up. The 2 men were facing each other, weapons drawn. Kai held his dagger backhanded, and Travis held his sword normally.

"Lyre would be disappointed." Travis said.

"I don't care what that monster thinks." Kai responded.

Kai tried to jab Travis with his backhand dagger, but Summers sidestepped it. Travis raised his sword in the air, but Kai kicked him back, staggering Travis. Kai charged toward Travis, but Travis kicked at Kai, knocking him down. Travis ran to Kai with his sword being held with 2 hands, pointed down as an attempt to end Kai once and for all.

Kai used his hands stop the blade from touching his chest by sandwiching the flat side of the blade. Kai used his fire to melt the metal, rendering Travis' sword useless. Kai kicked Travis' chest, knocking him down. Kai walked to Travis, and was about to knock him out, but a falling piece of flaming debris blocked his way.

Kai stared at Travis. He wasn't going to end it today. Kai turned around and ran to Elsa's position.


"2 problems." Elsa said. "Number 1, the ship is falling apart!"

"No kidding." Kai said sarcastically.

"Number 2," Elsa continued. "The rowboat is gone."

"What?!"

"You heard me."

"What're we going to do?"

"You tell me, Kai!"

"Can't you just turn the water into ice, and we'll walk?"

"Last time I did that, I created an eternal winter."

"We can swim the rest?"

"We'll tire ourselves out and drown."

They were out of options. They were pacing back and forth, thinking of a way to escape this fate, until they heard a familiar voice.

"HO!" Olaf said.

They looked to where they heard his voice. Olaf was rowing the rowboat to their location. They were never so happy to see Olaf in their life.

"Olaf," Kai said. "how? We saw you get kicked off."

"Snowmen can hang onto ledges you know." Olaf answered."I snuck through the side of the ship and got the rowboat."

"Glad to see you little guy." Elsa said.

Something blew up behind Elsa and Kai. They didn't know what it was, but they didn't want to know.

They jumped off the side of the boat, into the water. They swam towards Olaf's boat and Kai took the oars. They rowed away.

Elsa couldn't let the people on the ship die, no matter what they did.

"Kai," she said, "I'm going to help them."

"What?" He asked. "No!"

"Why not?"

"They don't deserve life after what they did."

"Everyone deserves a second chance."

"They don't."

"Kai! I'm helping those people." Elsa finally said with determination in her voice.

Elsa reminded herself that she had a heart. If she just left those people to die, who would she be? She would be the monster people called her before. She couldn't live with herself if she let them die. But, Kai could. He would feel no remorse for the men. Fire and ice never went well together.

Elsa shot a blast of ice around the ship. Ice formed a huge circle around the ship, and it stopped sinking. Elsa created a flurry in the sky so that the fire wouldn't melt the ice around the ship. The fire did eventually die down. Now, the bandits would be stranded on a little island of ice, but at least they were alive.

Elsa, Olaf, and Kai stared at the ship as they rowed away. They kept staring until they couldn't see it anymore.

"There goes The Royal II." said Kai. "What a day."
