Back in the mountains with Anna and Nakumoto…
"Anna, we're going too fast!" Nakumoto cautioned as he summoned a flashlight to guide the way. "The snow is too thick! If we continue this speed we might hit something!"
"We should be okay! This trail is pretty clear of anything solid!" Anna reassured as they continued at their fast pace. Anna didn't want to waste any time since the storm back home was already getting worse. "Look, I think I see something!"
As they got closer towards the object, Naku realized that it was not something good. "Anna, wait! That's a tr-"
WHACK! Anna and Nakumoto were sent flying off the horse as it kept going, leaving them behind in the snow.
"Damn it, that hurt!" Nakumoto said as he checked himself before helping Anna up. "Nice going idiot. Now we have no horse!"
Anna felt insulted by putting the blame on her. "Hey, why didn't you steer? Wait, look!" She pointed towards a tavern. "Looks like a place we can seek shelter in!"
They ran as fast as they could towards the hut that had a sign, yet it was covered by snow. "Wandering Oaken's Trading Post, oh and sauna?! Let's go in! I'm freezing out here." Nakumoto sighed as they both entered the building, only to find what turned out to be summer clothes and a bunch of summer decorations.
"Yo ho!" The older man said as he saw the two enter the building. "Big summer blowout! Half off swimsuits, clogs, and a tanning solution of my own creation, ya?"
"Um…that's great! But do you have winter clothing? Boots maybe?" Anna asked as the shopkeeper looked at her with glee.
"That would be in our winter section!" He pointed to an almost empty section that had one pair of clothing and boots, and a bunch of equipment that kept falling off its rack. Almost looked like the back side of a walmart.
"How much for the winter dress and boots for the lady behind me?" Nakumoto asked as the shopkeeper turned his attention towards him.
"Thirty krone!" The shopkeeper answered.
Nakumoto held out his hand, and a bag of coins appeared. He then opened the bag and took out thirty krone coins to give to the shopkeeper. "Thank you sir."
"Oh! By the way, did you notice any other woman come by, like maybe oh I don't know, the queen or something?" Anna asked a little too unsure, causing Oaken to look at her with a chuckle on his face.
"The only woman I've seen crazy enough in the storm is you!" Oaken answered, chuckling as Anna gathered her things, when all of a sudden, a man who was covered in snow from head to toe stepped into the building. He walked up towards Anna, who was blocking the front of the counter.
"The carrots." He said plainly as Anna sat there a bit confused. "Behind you."
"Oh! Sorry." She said sheepishly as she moved while he grabbed the carrots and rope.
"That will be forty!" Oaken said as he put the stuff down on the counter.
"What? No, ten!" The man demanded as the shopkeep remained head strong.
"Well you see this is from the winter department. Supply and demand." Oaken explained as Nakumoto chuckled.
"It's okay. I will pay for it. Besides, you need to save your money, Kristoff." He said as he pulled out the bag of coins again and gave him the forty krone. "Thanks Oaken. Be safe in these troubled times."
"Anytime at all, friend!" The shopkeep said happily as Kristoff looked at the man in confusion.
"How do you know my name?" Kristoff asked as Anna also wanted to know. "Yeah, do you know him?"
"Long story. Let's go get his reindeer before the storm gets even worse." Nakumoto said bluntly as the two followed him out the shop.
"Who are you? You know a lot about me. Not many know ice dealers." Kristoff said as he looked at Anna with confusion, with Anna's response being a mere shrug.
"I'm Nakamoto. A guardian sent to protect Anna and her friends. Including you." Nakumoto said as he opened the animal pen to see Sven and the sleigh outside. "I'll explain more on the way. Anna of all people deserves it."
"I do?" Anna asked with a questionable look on her face, to which Nakumoto gave her a stare. "Oh I do! Yes you do!"
"Alright, but I'll drive. I know this terrain well." Kristoff said as he tied Sven to the sleigh and motioned the two to get on. As he told Sven to run, Kristoff turned his attention towards
Nakumoto as they rode. "So who are you really? How do you know me, and how do you know this woman?" He pointed towards Anna, who then turned to Nakumoto, as if she was waiting for him to tell them a bedtime story.
"My name is Nakumoto Yakuzama. I am from Japan, and I come from another world. In my world, I know you from…uh..books! You guys are very important people where I am from! My partner, Trevor Garcia, is also from my world, but he is with her sister, possibly protecting her from anything bad." Nakamoto explained as Kristoff and Anna looked at each other with amazement. "Now here is the serious part. I have been sent here to protect you and your sister from evil, and when we finally stop this winter storm, help you settle down and…stuff…" After taking a final breath, he finished as he realized he couldn't continue since that would cost them the mission if he let out any more details.
"Oh! Japan! I don't know what that is, but I'm sure if this is all over, we can all do trading together! Do y'all have any chocolates or anything?" Anna asked, almost completely forgetting his whole explanation except for his country. This caused him to laugh.
"Unfortunately we don't specialize in chocolate, that would be the belgians." Nakamoto answered. "But we do specialize in meat and rice! It's called Wagyu!"
"Okay, wait, hold on! Kristoff said as he slowed the sleigh down to a steady pace. "You were sent here to protect her and her sister, but the other guy is missing and taking care of her. So why are you wanting to go up towards the mountains? There's a lot of dangerous grounds here."
"My sister might be there! She ran away from the kingdom a little while ago. We need to be able to find her so she can stop whatever she created!" Anna said with fear in her voice.
"We need to find Elsa. My partner and I need to regroup so we can save the kingdom." Nakumoto said as he looked at Anna. "Her fiance, Prince Hans, is waiting for her back at the castle."
"Oh I'm sure this Prince Hans is a nice fellow right?" Kristoff said as a joke, yet no one laughed, causing him to sigh before continuing. "Well, what caused your sister to run off like that?"
Before Naku could speak, Anna took over. "It was my fault. I was in love with Hans and I told her we were getting married. I met him the other day and he was so nice to me!" Anna said as she tried to explain the situation.
"Wait, hold on." Kristoff said as he turned his attention towards Anna. "Did you say you had just met him?"
"Yes, try to keep up!" Anna said, completely ignoring the context of His words. "And what happened was that we got into a huge argument. I said she knew nothing about true love, and that she only knew how to push people aside, an-"
"Hold on!" Kristoff exclaimed, now fully turning himself towards Anna, clearly baffled by her inability to realize what he said. "You wanted to marry a guy you just met?!"
"Yes, please stop interrupting!" Anna said as she tried to continue but Nakumoto stopped her as he had to act like he didn't know Hans true ambitions.
"Well, who marries someone that they just met? I bet you don't even know anything about him!" Kristoff challenged, causing Anna to get defensive.
"I do!" She answered back.
"Oh yeah? What's his last name?"
"Of the southern Isles."
"Favorite food?"
"Sandwiches!"
"Eye color?"
"Dreamy~" Nakumoto shivered at her choice of words.
"His foot size?"
"That doesn't matter!"
"Have you eaten a meal with him? What if you don't like the way he eats? The way he picks his nose!" Kristoff questioned as Anna looked at him with disgust.
"He's a gentleman! A prince no less! He wouldn't dare pick his nose!" She said defending her lover.
"All men do it." Kristoff answered bluntly, to which Anna almost lost her temper.
"Look here mister! It's true love! And he's a prince, he would never-" Anna began but Kristoff hushed her before picking up his lantern. Nakumoto then realized he was doing.
"Shut up for a second." He said as he looked around the area for anything suspicious. He turned his lantern towards the back of the sleigh, trying to make what was out there.
"Don't shush me up! Its rude!" Anna said rather offended by him telling her to keep quiet. Anna wasnt reading the situation, but Nakumoto was.
"召喚！タイプ56! (Summon! Type 56!)" Naku said in his native tongue as a JSDF Type 56 Battle Rifle spawned into his hands. "Anna, keep quiet! There's something wrong!"
"Now you're doing this too?!" Anna asked, completely oblivious to the situation. "If you guys wou-" Naku put his hand over her mouth while he used his other hand to cock the bolt carrier back, loading a round in the chamber.
When Kristoff finally got his lantern to see the darkness behind them, the eyes of about nine wolves appeared, now making Kristoff very anxious. "Sven, Go! Run!"
Sven quickly started his pace, and Anna and Nakumoto were taken by surprise as the sled continued to go even faster than before. "We have wolves on our tail!"
"Wolves?!" Anna said frightened by the predators gaining on this tail. "Let me help!"
"Anna I think it would be best if you-" As Kristoff began, the pair were deafened by the sound of a three round burst coming from Nakumotos gun. "OH CRAP!"
"Sorry for not warning! Had no time!" Naku said as he killed two of the wolves, with a few of them gaining, now obviously enraged by the killing of their pack members.
Kristoff then grabbed a torch and lit it with his lantern. "Try not to die princess!" He said this loudly, still a bit deafened by the gunshot noises, although with a little magic, it started to wear off. Kristoff then tried to use it as a club, knocking most of the wolves back, but not to any sure progress.
"Why won't you let me help?!" Anna said as she grabbed another torch and lit it with the lantern once more. This caused Kristoff to tense up a bit.
"I don't trust your judgment! I mean you literally tried to marry a man you just met!" He said as he realized that a wolf jumped at him. However, Anna popped up, using the torch as a spear and striking the beast in its chest with the pointy edge.
"IT'S TRUE LOVE!" She said angrily. With the torch striking the wolf, the wolf caught on fire, since it's fur would be covered in sweat and natural oils, causing it to stumble and ignite its other friend, knocking two more out of the pack.
As they continued to fight off their attackers, Nakumoto took a look to their front, only to realize that they were running out of road. "Guys! We're getting close to the edge!"
"We need to jump! Come on Sven, jump!" Anna said as Kristoff became irritated by her sudden leadership role.
"Sven doesn't take orders from you!" Kristoff said as he grabbed Anna and threw her off the sled and onto Sven. He then cut off the line from the sled to allow the reindeer to run. "Jump sven!"
Sven did as he was told and ran as fast as he could, then with all of it's strength, it pushed their legs forward, sending Anna off towards the other side, successfully landing onto the ground.
"Now it's our turn! I'm going to try a new power I just thought of!" Nakumoto said as he jumped next to Kristoff. They were running out of road, and fast.
"What's this new power?!" Kristoff said unsure of what's to come.
"Trust me! You'll see soon enough!" He then put the rifle behind him and hugged Kristoff like a plush doll. "TELEPORT!" A sudden violent fissure occurred and the two were sudden gone. It's like the vanished into thin air. The sled finally fell off the cliff, and when it crashed onto thr ground it was set ablaze, causing Anna to look very worried.
"KRISTOPHER?!" She shouted frantically. "NAKUMOTO?"
"GGGYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Suddenly there were two people dropping from about ten feet above her, barely missing her by 2 feet. It seems the teleportation power worked, except that they instead fell onto each other.
"D-Didn't expect that!" Kristoff said as he fainted from being exhausted.
"Yeah….no kidding…" Naku replied as he too fell asleep in exhaustion.
Anna shook her head
