A week had passed since our heroes saved Toontown after a long and desperate fight from the forces of Mizrabel and seemingly defeated one of their stronger men, Cecil Harvey.
And after a much deserved break, began a new mission, if a little different from the usual.
The destination? An obscure world located not too far from Toontown, but from the opposite side of worlds like the Land of the Dragons and Arendelle. The snowy and lifeless atmosphere of it prevented Mizrabel from having any interest in the small planet, which meant it could freely be used by Riku and the others for whatever they wanted.
And after they reached their destination, began the main process that was the main reason why they ventured to such a place: creating a base for the Wielders.
This was made as to both minimize Gummiship movement and also giving a warm place to the wandering boys. All of this was just casually asked by Xion, but she only proposed it as an idea, only to be used in case there was no other safe zone to be in.

However, both Riku and Roxas agreed to fully realize it, and started working on it just the day after they defeated Cecil. Their excuse was to keep their bodies stimulated and ready for any inoccurrence, but deep down, she could feel that maybe, there was still some semblance of rivalry between the two. 
"You better speed up the pace with the structure because I'm ready to start with the paint here!", said a confident Roxas, who was nailing planks like it was nothing, with only two remaining on one of his hands.
"Easy for you to say. You're working on the heart of the house after all."
"I wouldn't complain too much if I were behind like you. It's not gonna build itself!".

Meanwhile, Xion, Tonitrus and Nyx were watching the two bicker from a small shed made out of some scrapped metal panels, which protected them from the sharp wind.
"Wow, I didn't know Riku could be this competitive!" said Tonitrus, looking at the banter.
"Oh trust me, even he knows how to have fun...", replied Xion.
"They do need to speed up though. These walls are crushing me...", added Nyx, feeling a small sense of claustrophobia.
"I don't mind this small space myself. Might be that my residence at Toontown is just barely bigger, but I just find smaller houses to be cozier!", added Tonitrus.
"Well, suit yourself. At least somebody signed up for this...", replied the blue-haired girl.

The competition between the two continued for a while, until a problem was starting to become more and more apparent... Roxas realized he had completely run out of paint, and Riku had no more planks to add. 
This put the rivalry between the two on hold as they ventured into the nearby forest, looking for extra materials.
At least, that was their plan, until they encountered a small being just as they reached the trees. They most likely were an elf, due to their short measure, slightly long nose, and colorful clothes. 
"Uhm... Sorry if I'm bothering you, young travelers, but... Are you Warriors of Light by any chance?", said the tiny elf.
Roxas needed to hear something from the elf before he could give an honest answer, saying:
"Who brings you here?".
"It's... The Pumpkin King. He has asked me to look for them, and provide this message ...", said the elf, who then dug into their bag and showed a letter.
"Thank you. Knowing you're with Skellington, we can put that little secret out.", said Riku, taking the letter.
"Amazing! Now, if you excuse me, I have a few more things to deliver, so... Good luck!", said the elf, before suddenly vanishing.
"Now that's what I call dedication. Going to such an obscure place just for a single letter...", said Roxas.
Riku meanwhile, opened up the letter and read its content, to see what was Jack asking for them.

The letter read as followed:

"Dear Warriors of Light,

I'm grateful for when you saved me from potentially causing immense damage when I was turned into an Overwritten. We were able to free the other Holiday Worlds from Mizrabel's control, and I stumbled upon a structure that imprisoned many of the inhabitants of all the aforementioned worlds. Surprisingly, I was not able to find Sandy Claws among them, which means that he's now missing. We have to find him as soon as possible to make sure the cycle of the holidays remains stable.
As of writing this, I'm searching in Arendelle, if you're not already involved in another liberation mission, you can find me at the inn not too far from the royal castle!
