"Hurry up! We've haven't got all day!" ordered a bandit.

A group of about 6 bandits dragged Kai through the forest path, looking for the ship he arrived on, The Duke of Weaseltown. Eventually, the bandits decided it would be quicker to just carry Kai, so one bandit slung Kai over his shoulder, and they continued walking.

"He's heavier than he looks." said the bandit.

One bandits walked next to what seemed like the leader of the group, as he wore different clothes than the others.

"Why don't we just slit his throat while he sleeps and be done with this?" Asked the bandit.

"Strife's orders." Answered the leader. "We set him adrift on his ship."

"How do you know he has a ship?"

The leader shrugged. "Strife said he did, and I'm not one to question Strife."

They continued walking along the path, but what they didn't know was that Olaf was following them the entire time.

Olaf poked his head from behind a tree that was behind the group. Olaf watched in horror as they carried Kai. Olaf looked around to see if he could find Elsa, but she was gone. Olaf knew he had to take this seriously. He didn't know what the bandits would do to him. Turn him yellow? Olaf hoped that they wouldn't do that.

The snowman overheard something about the ship. He ran ahead through the trees, and into the beach. The bandits were slower than him since they were walking to their destination. Olaf stood on the shore, in front of the ship.

"What am I going to do?" He said to himself. "I could use my ninja skills?"

Olaf smacked himself in the head, which accidentally knocked it off. Olaf's body ran to pick it up.

"Who am I kidding?" Said Olaf's head. "I'm no ninja." He said disappointingly.

"I'm a coward." Olaf continued. "I ran away when the guy in the mask came. I didn't show my face when they needed me. I don't know where Elsa went."

Olaf threw his head on the sand, his face facing upward.

Olaf was just thinking to himself. He really was useless this entire journey. He tried to think of a time he helped, but he couldn't.

"I'm just a burden." He said to himself. "Come on, body. Let's go tell Kristoff."

Something clicked in Olaf's mind.

"I'm not a burden." He said. "I saved Kai and Elsa from that ship one time."

Olaf's body started to jump around while his head screamed, "I wasn't useless!'

His body picked up the head, and slowly walked to the plank to get on the ship. Halfway through the plank, Olaf heard noises coming from the forest. Olaf turned his head with his arms and saw a small group of bandits walking out of the forest with Kai. Olaf gasped and ran onto the ship, and ran below deck.

The bandits looked at the ship in awe.

A bandit whistled. "They really know how to pick 'em."

The bandits took Kai onto the ship, and held him against a mast. One bandit took out a rope, and tied Kai to the mast.

"Can't he just burn the rope when he wakes up?" Asked a bandit.

"By the time that happens, he'll be long gone." Answered another.

The leader bandit took the helm, and ordered the others to pull the ship into the water. The other bandits each grabbed a rope that was connected to the back of the ship, and pulled the ship into the water. The leader turned the ship around so that it was facing the sea.

"Raise the sails!" Ordered the leader.

The other bandits got back on the ship, and did what they were told. The ship moved immediately, and it started to sail into the ocean. The bandits all jumped off and swam back to shore.

They stood at the beach, watching the ship sail away to wherever the wind takes it.

"What now?" Asked a bandit.

"Now," replied the leader,"we return to Strife and the ice witch."

The bandits re-entered the forest, and the ship was out of sight to them. When he thought it was safe, Olaf opened the trap door that connect the upper and lower deck, and walked out. Olaf gasped when he saw Kai. Olaf ran to Kai and tried to find a way to free him. Olaf ran back below deck and brought out a knife. Olaf cut Kai out, and Kai collapsed to the floor.

Olaf checked to see if he was okay.

"Kai?" Olaf said.

The snowman took a step back and watched in horror as some of Kai's black hair turned white.

Kai regained consciousness after about 2 hours. Olaf was standing over him when he did.

"What happened?" Kai asked groggily.

"The bandits took you here, and set sail." Olaf answered.

"Where?"

"Wherever the wind takes us."

"They still here?"

Olaf shook his head.

Kai remembered why he was knocked out in the first place. His eyes widened and he stood up.

"Elsa!" He said.

A sudden pain erupted in Kai's heart. He grabbed onto it and fell to his knees. More of Kai's hair became white.

"What's happening to me?" Asked Kai.

Olaf frowned. "Elsa froze your heart, Kai. If it's not thawed, you'll turn into solid ice."

"Then I'll thaw it."

Kai put his hand over his heart, and heat started emanating from his hand. The heat glowed brighter and brighter. Kai hoped he would thaw his heart like this, but the heat wasn't helping. The more he tried to thaw it, the more pain he felt in his chest. He continued until he finally had enough pain. Kai moved his arm away from his heart, and put his hands on the deck.

A tear dropped down Kai's face. He looked up at the sky, and shot a huge blast of fire at the sky. Olaf jumped back away from Kai. The blast of fire exploded in the air, and a phoenix made of fire danced where it exploded. The phoenix finally dispersed into fire, which eventually created a rain of ash over the ship.

Kai sat back, with his back against the mast.

"I failed." He said. "I tried to save them, and I failed. I tried to protect her, and I failed."

Kai put his hand in his hands. Olaf couldn't bear seeing Kai like this. Olaf stood at his side, and put his hand on Kai's shoulder. Olaf patted Kai's shoulder, not knowing if he was being comforting at all.

"Kai..." He whispered.

Kai looked back up. "Now," he continued, "I'm going to turn into a stupid ice sculpture!"

Olaf spoke up. "An act of true love can thaw a frozen heart."

Kai started to laugh. "Only in the fairy tales Olaf."

"I'm serious."

Kai stopped laughing and paid more attention to the snowman.

"Anna's heart was thawed when she saved Elsa from Prince Hans. That was an act of true love." Olaf continued.

"I don't have many options here, Olaf." Kai continued.

For once, Olaf was out of things to say. Olaf sat next to Kai.

"You love her, don't you?" Olaf asked.

"I burned whatever we had when she found out that I was a bandit."

"You were a what?" Olaf asked.

Kai told Olaf his story. He told Olaf of how he left the bandits because he saw them for who they really were. He told him about his reforms. Olaf listened carefully without any interruptions.

"Do you believe me, Olaf?" Kai asked.

"Of course I do."

Kai raised an eyebrow.

Olaf continued talking. "Only someone who really cared would go through what they did to protect someone."

Kai smiled. "I should've told her that."

"What're we going to do?" Asked Olaf.

"I don't know." Kai answered. "Olaf, why didn't you steer the ship?"

"Oh, well I lacked the intellectual skill that is required for an action as complex as steering an aquatic vessel." Olaf answered.

"So you don't know." Kai simplified.

"Pretty much. I guess we wait now." Olaf said.

Kai got up, and looked over the front of the ship. Ahead of them, he could see a city. To Kai, that was hope.

"We won't have to wait long." Kai told Olaf.

Olaf got up, and ran next to Kai. Olaf gasped looking at the city.

At the same time, they both said "Arendelle."

Kristoff was a mess. It drove him crazy not having Anna in his arms. He was distraught. Though it was only a few days since Elsa left, Kristoff feared for the worst. He now had a scruff for a beard, and wore no shoes. His clothes were tattered. All of this hit Kristoff harder than anyone else.

Kristoff lay on a couch that was at the middle of a room. He stared into the fireplace. Even though he acted as steward, he wasn't doing much of a good job of it.

He had nightmares about Anna. He has nightmares of what the Bandits were doing to her. He regretted not going on the journey. He almost regretted trusting Kai.

Knocks came from outside Kristoff's door.

"Leave me alone!" He ordered.

The door opened anyway. That made Kristoff angry. He jumped off of the couch and raised up and empty bottle of wine, ready to throw it at the unwelcome people. Kristoff immediately put the wine down when he recognized who the people were.

Olaf stood there happily while Kai stood there with as lunched back, holding onto his chest. Kristoff dropped the bottle, and it shattered on the floor.

"Sorry." Kristoff said.

"You're a mess." Kai pointed out.

"Thanks." Kristoff replied. "What happened? Kai, you don't look any better than I do."

Kristoff listened patiently as Kai told the entire story. Kai told him about his past as a bandit. Kai told him about Summers. Kai told him about the Duke. Kai told him about his and Elsa's romance. Kai told him about Elsa's capture. Kristoff remained silent even after Kai finished his story.

"I failed you, Kristoff." Kai said.

"No matter." Kristoff said. "We need to save both Anna and Elsa, now."

"Yeah!" Olaf said.

"They've beaten us." Kai said sadly.

"Have they?" Kristoff continued. "They've beaten you? You're just going to give up when things get harder? That's what makes us stronger. When we keep on going, no matter the challenges. Elsa wouldn't want you to give up Kai. Anna sure wouldn't want me to. You're giving up, even after all you've been through. All of the things you've suffered. You're not going to save her now, even after all of those countless times you've already did. We'll find a way to win. We'll find a way to stop them. We need you to do it. Kai, do you love Elsa?"

Kai looked at Kristoff. "With all of my heart."

"Are you just going to let her go?" Kristoff asked.

Kai smiled. "No."

"Then we have some people to save. The three of us will go to Teranhall, and take back what we've lost." Kristoff said.

"Why just us three?" Olaf asked.

Kai and Kristoff smiled and looked at each other. "They made it personal." They said at the same time.

"How're we getting to Teranhall?" Olaf continued.

"That's easy." Kristoff said. "We take a ship."

"No." Kai spoke out. "A ship is too slow. We don't know what the bandits will do in those hours it will take to get there. We need a faster way."

"There is no other way." Kristoff corrected.

Kai smiled.

Olaf whispered to Kristoff. "He's smiling. Why is he smiling? I don't like that smile."

Kai came up with an idea. It was crazy, but it might work.

Kai looked at Kristoff. "Elsa mentioned something about a flying machine."

Elsa walked behind a slow Strife. Spears were pointed at her back. Strife walked with his hand over his heart.

"You okay?" Elsa asked as if she cared.

"I'm fine." Strife lied. "You better thaw my heart, stupid girl."

"I can't." Elsa said. "Only an act of true love can thaw it."

Strife gritted his teeth.

"Just keep walking."

Strife led Elsa and the bandits to an opening. They walked onto a hill that overlooked a city.

The city has seen better days. The streets were vacant. Trash littered the floor. Tattered banners hung everywhere. The buildings looked as if they were attacked by a lion.

Strife looked at Elsa. "Welcome to Teranhall Keep."
