Kristoff is the first one to reach the game.
He had no problem finding the house again. It's been burned into his memory, impossible to forget. When he received the call from Ariel, claiming that Scar had taken Kayley, and Jim was getting the players back together, he'd wanted to throw up. The thought of going back had never crossed his mind, not once, and he would have preferred it stayed that way.
Then he'd been sent a frantic text from Elsa, her usually pristine grammar a jumble of misspelled words as she explained Scar had taken her too, and that she needed him to protect Anna.
That was a game changer for him.
All that fear, all that torment that haunted him for months vanished an in instant, replaced by blind rage. Scar had gone too far this time.
Now, he stands at the very edge of a cliff, much like the one he was hanging from before Scar tossed him into the gorge. Except, instead of a mighty stampede below him, there's a churning, foaming ocean. The waves break against the cliffside, wetting rocks and plants. The pixelated oceanscape is glitchy, some area just enormous blocks of blue or green. A side effect of the explosion, apparently. Herman never got around to fixing the kinks.
Kristoff ignores all of this, his attention pinned on one thing - the mountain of icicles and ice bridges, haphazardly piled into what could be interpreted as a castle... If you look at it the right way. It sits above the crashing waters, maybe a mile or two away. Black dots appears and disappear from the top landing, easily recognizable as people. He wonders which one is Scar, if one of them is Elsa, or Kayley.
Ariel advised he bring along a weapon of some sort, anything he could use in a battle. With Elsa in his grasp, Kristoff already knew Scar would be fighting back with ice.
So Kristoff brought along his ice climbing gear. He silently prides himself, seeing he was right all along.
After receiving Elsa's text, Kristoff had dropped Anna off at his grandparent's house, claiming he had a work emergency. He also made Sven swear he'd protect Anna if something were to happen. Both pestered him with questions, none of which he could answer, thanks to Scar's curse. He'd rushed out of there, hoping against hope Scar would leave them both out of it.
A small, engine-like noise sounds behind him, and a giant metal contraption lands beside him. Started, he jumps out of the way, as a sail, pulsing with light, lowers down into a long, surf board shaped sheet of metal. Jim stands from where he was crouching, gripping the metal board in one hand. He gives Kristoff one nod.
A giant, red almost humanoid thing lowers down next to Jim, two curious black dots peer at Kristoff through a red helmet. "Hello," it states, it's voice strangely robotic. "I am Baymax."
A smaller figure hops off the robot's back. Whipping off his own helmet, Hiro shakes out his unruly hair, his entire body clad in similar purple armor. "You made it. Good."
"So did I." Halting on Kristoff's other side is Mulan, her hair pulled back into a severe bun. She grips a long, gleaming sword, her expression just as solemn as they all feel. She gazes out over the ocean, eyes narrows as she takes in the ice palace. "This is it, then. The last level."
Kristoff shifts on his feet, the hilt of his pick ax digging into his back. "One way or another, this is going to end." They're either going to win the game, or lose it. But no matter what, Kristoff is determined to get Elsa back to safety.
He seriously hopes this is the last time he will ever see Scar's marred face.
A shadow passes overhead, pausing right above the group. Drifting out of the way, an elegantly seamed carpet gently floats to the ground. It's really not all that strange seeing a flying carpet... Since meeting Anna, Kristoff has witnessed some pretty strange creatures and magical objects.
