Toya heard Himiko call Shoto a monster, and thought the comment was meant for him. In one move, he knocked her back with blue fire.
Chaira collapsed onto the ice. "Please Shoto...I love you...you have to thaw this ice...this winter..."
"Love...will thaw..." Shoto said. "Of course!"
He moved to Chaira and kissed her.
The pulse broke the ice from the buildings and everywhere around them, and the frozen winter thawed into a bright sunny summer.
"I knew you could do it." Chaira said.
Olaf began melting and spoke good-naturedly. "Hands down, this is the best day of my life…and quite possibly the last."
"Oh, Olaf. Hang on, little guy." Shoto said.
Shoto waved his hand and surrounded Olaf with a swirl of cold air. He refroze. Above his head Shoto left a little, perpetually-snowing storm cloud. Olaf loved it.
"Hey, my own personal flurry." Olaf said.
Shoto saw Himiko trying to get to his feet. He marched toward her, prepared for a fight. But Shoto put up a hand and stopped her.
"Natsuo's got it handled." Shoto smiled.
Natsuo went over to Himiko.
"A monster will never rule Arendelle!" Himiko repeated, this time more than a little terrified and desperate.
"The only monster around here is you." Natsuo snapped.
He turned away from her, proud of his words. But not yet satisfied, he turned back and punched her right in the face.
Himiko fell overboard.
Chaira went over to Shoto and hugged him. Fuyumi came over and hugged them both, looking over her shoulder at Natsuo. She smiled brighter, happy. Then Toya, now Dabi, came over and hugged all of them.
Shoto and Dabi headed back to the palace, talking and laughing, Chaira hanging behind them, looking wary.

It was a beautiful summer day. The mighty ships had been repaired and were sailing away.
On one of the ships, Himiko was thrown into a brig.
"I will return this scoundrel to his country. We shall see what his twelve big brothers think of his behavior." French Dignitary said.
"Arendelle thanks you, my Lord." Fuyumi said.
Down on the dock, Arendelle guards lead the Duke and his two thugs to their ship.
"This is unacceptable. I am innocent. I'm a victim of fear. I've been traumatized." Duke said. "Ow! My neck hurts. Is there a doctor I could…No? And I demand to see the Queen!"
Fuyumi stepped down from the gangplank to the dock.
"I have a message from the King." Fuyumi said. "Arendelle will henceforth and forever no longer do business of any sort with Weaseltown."
"Weselton. It's Weselton!" Duke snapped.
The guards ushered him and his thugs onto their ship.

The gates to the castle were wide open. In the courtyard stood Dabi and Shoto.
"Are you ready?" The two superpowered men chorused.
Villagers cheered. Shoto stopped and created an ice rink. Dabi created a big blue bonfire, but not too close.
The people, skates at the ready, hopped onto the rink and twirled about. Many of them gathered for s'mores and grilled meat.
Shoto and Dabi then used their powers to shape the fountain into a fancy design.
Fuyumi came slipping in. Shoto caught her.
"I like the open gates." Fuyumi said.
"We are never closing them again." Shoto said.
Chaira then waved her hand and magical ice skates (literally made of ice) formed on Fuyumi's boots.
"What? Oh, Chaira, they're beautiful, but you know I don't ska-" Fuyumi began.
Shoto grabbed Fuyumi's hands and pulled her along on the ice. Fuyumi slipped and slid, but laughed in delight.
Natsuo skated after them.
"Look out, coming through!" Natsuo said.
Olaf skated and helped Shoto coach Fuyumi."That's it. Glide and pivot and glide and pivot."
Chaira caught Shoto by the waist and spun him out. "You need to be careful."
"Why?" Shoto said. "Everything is fine. It's thawed, and I've got my family back—"
He looked fondly at Dabi.
"About that family; are you sure you can trust him?" Chaira said.
Shoto laughed. "You worry too much, Chaira."
He kissed her reassuringly, repairing the castle with her ice while Dabi warmed the winter with his blue fire..
