Elsa watched as the prisoner was brought in, her hands in restraints so she couldn't use her pyrokinetic abilities. She was the first enhanced criminal she had caught, having always known the implants would be used for wrongdoing.

The prisoner herself was rather young, with freckled cheeks and strawberry blonde hair. She seemed peaceful, but Elsa, having seen the footage of the girl's arrest, knew she could be a murderous psychopath at the drop of a hat.

Elsa sat in front of the girl, placing her pistol in front of them. She eyed the girl, with her cold icy optics.

The girl looked at her, fleshy human eyes meeting Elsa's synthetic ones. "Couldn't they have gotten a human to interrogate me?" She remarked. "I don't trust androids."

"Just because I have wires instead of veins doesn't make me any different," Elsa spoke. "I am in charge here. You're gonna answer me."

The girl laughed. "Sorry, but I ain't talking."

Elsa frowned. "You'll only make it harder for yourself."

"Really?" The girl remarked. "Because last I checked, you were the one who threw me across a street."

Elsa sighed in exasperation. "Just tell me where you acquired your implant, then I'll go."

"Woah, I'm afraid I can't do that, nuts and bolts," the girl said with a smirk. "See, I don't exactly have one."

"Then how did you spew flames like that? How did you blow up those cars?"

The girl laughed. "I'd tell you, but I think you cops really love not knowing all the answers."

This was getting nowhere for Elsa. Her prisoner was being very uncooperative and that was something that she couldn't put up with.

She stared into the girls eyes, glaring at her. "I'll ask again, where did you get your powers?"

"And what would you do if I told you, would you let me go?" The girl counterasked.

"That depends," Elsa stated.

"Well, alright, if you must know," the girl gave in. "I was born with them."

"T-That's impossible," the android officer stuttered. Only implants could alter the DNA of a human and give them powers. No one could naturally have such skills.

The girl laughed. "That blew your mind didn't it."

Elsa scowled. "I'm getting to the bottom of this," she stated. She looked to the guards behind her, nodding. "Take her back to her cell."

Two guards walked into the room, hoisting up the girl. Before she left Elsa's sight, she winked at her and blew her a kiss. "See you around, blondie."

Green sky. That was something Anna would never get used to seeing. Nor would she get used to seeing the red grass or the three moons hanging in orbit above the planet she was on. Being a space explorer took Anna to many different worlds, but each one started to feel the same after a while.

Sat on top of her shuttlecraft, with her strawberry hair flowing freely in the wind, Anna was growing bored. This planet didn't have any sort of animal life and the entire surface was covered with the same red grass and plants.

She knew one person would be interested by all this, but not her.

Anna then stared at a small display on her wrist, a scanner linked to an orbiting satellite that was mapping the surface of the planet, displaying possible sites for any colonies that the Earth Federation may wish to set up out here.

Not that it would do much. The planet was abundance in natural resources yes, but it wasn't exactly interesting.

As she looked away from her scanner, Anna then saw her partner walking back towards the shuttle, having finished taking her readings of the nearby plantlife. This was Elsa, renowned botanist and the one whom Anna had to fly from planet to planet to study whatever weed took her fancy.

She didn't have any grudges against Elsa, in fact she was very much on good terms with her, although she would wish that Elsa take her to an interesting planet every now and again.

She then sat up, hanging her legs off the side of the shuttle's roof. "Well, you took your time."

"There was a lot of plants to catalogue," Elsa excused, putting her datapad down.

"There's always a lot of plants to catalogue," Anna remarked, jumping off the roof. "Seriously, it's like we go to a planet, scan the plants, go to a planet, scan the plants, it's a bit of a endless cycle."

"You wanted to be a part of this mission," Elsa reminded her, heading into the shuttle.

"Yeah, when I thought the Pathfinder program would be all about exploring the universe, you know boldly going where no man is going before?" Anna stated. "And all you ever do is drag me to the most boring worlds in the universe."

Elsa rolled her eyes. "No need to be so picky, Anna."

Anna sighed. "Fine, let's get back to the ship. But I'm picking the next planet."

Elsa chuckled. "Fair enough."

Anna looked on in horror, seeing the assassin's helmet fall off. The face underneath was one that Anna knew all too well. It may have been scarred and horrifically stitched together with circuits and wiring, but it was her.

It was Elsa, her beloved now turned into a mechanical monstrosity.

Ariel, Merida and Rapunzel tried to grab Anna's arms, but she pushed them away, running towards the metal woman.

Elsa merely growled, holding up the long steel katana, pointing it directly at Anna.

Anna dropped her pistol, gazing at Elsa with tears in her eyes. "Elsa... Don't you remember me?"

Elsa's robotic eye glowed red and she spoke in a modulated voice. "You... Left me."

"Elsa, I'm sorry," Anna apologised, knowing that she and Kristoff should have gone back for her when their enemies attacked and they had to escape. "If we had known-"

Elsa grabbed her blade tighter, keeping it pointed at Anna. "You knew my powers would have shielded me. You left me to die that day, Anna."

Anna looked down. "Is that what you believe? Or what Darkwatch forced into your brain when they turned you into this... This thing."

"Anna we have to get out of here!" Rapunzel insisted. "A platoon of troopers could be on their way right now!"

"No. I won't leave her!" Anna argued.

"Lassie, that's not Elsa..." Merida told her. "They turned her against us to drive us apart."

"I don't care!" Anna growled. "I lost her once, I won't lose her again!"

Elsa chuckled. "You think I'm still the same don't you? The same person who you fell in love with, who led your team as your second-in-command. Well, I'm not that anymore Anna, and it's all your fault. Elsa is dead, you killed her."

Anna scowled, her hand clenching into a fist. "Then allow me to avenge her death."

"Anna no!" Merida cried.

"Don't do this Anna!" Rapunzel called to her.

Anna had already made up her mind. She had to kill Elsa, to save the memory of the woman she loved.

Elsa suddenly leapt forward, driving her katana towards Anna's stomach with a metallic cry.

Anna swiftly dodged the attack, before pulling out a combat knife and jabbing it into the side of Elsa's arm.

The cyborg screamed in pain, dropping her blade to the floor. Before she could even try picking it up, Anna punched her square in the jaw, the metal bloodying her knuckles as they jabbed into Elsa's augmented face.

Elsa rolled back, before punching Anna with her free hand, tossing her across the room.

Anna was slammed into a wall, Elsa's hand pinning her against it and metal fingers coiling around her neck.

Elsa opened out her palm, her dropped sword flying to it with a telepathic command. She held the blade against Anna's neck, growling at her.

"I should show you mercy," she spoke. "But you never gave me any."

Anna gagged, feeling Elsa ready to choke the life from her. "Elsa... Forgive me."

The throne room of the Arendelle flagship was pure white and gold, with a large window that gave a clear view of the space outside. At the centre of the room, flanked by two guards, was the Queen herself, Elsa.

She smiled, looking at Anna as she and Kristoff entered the room. Elsa, like most Arendelles, had pointed ears and wore a beautiful blue gown with a long cape, a golden crown resting on her head.

"This place makes the white house look like a suburban home," Kristoff remarked.

"Stop gawking," Anna told him. "We're on a mission here, remember?"

"Right, right," Kristoff agreed, turning his thoughts elsewhere.

As they arrived at the throne, Queen Elsa stood up, raising her hand in the air. "That is far enough."

Anna stepped forward. "Your majesty, it is an honour to be in your presence."

"You flatter me, human," Elsa admitted. "What are you doing here in our space?"

"Our alliance is at war with a race of sentient machines, your majesty," Kristoff informed her. "We've united with most of the galaxy, but it isn't enough. With your forces and great technology, we might be able to win this war."

"The machines haven't attacked your space yet," Anna then said. "But it would only be a matter of time, before they do."

"Why should I care about your part of the galaxy?" Elsa wondered, sounding rather selfish. "The Arendelle Republic has long since stayed out of the rest of the galaxy's affairs."

"Because innocent lives could be at risk," Kristoff insisted. "Please Queen Elsa, listen to us. "

Elsa thought for a moment. Her kingdom of over ten thousand star systems hadn't known the horrors of war for over a thousand millennia. If these machines were going to attack, her people might not be able to defend themselves properly.

Finally, the Arendelle queen had an answer. "Very well," she agreed. "On one condition."

"Which is?"

Elsa then looked directly at Kristoff. "You may return to Earth to tell your allies about our assistance." She then gazed at Anna. "However, you must stay here, and assist with our defences."

"Wait what?!" Kristoff exclaimed. "Anna, alliance command will want you back as soon as possible. You can't stay here."

"I'm staying, Kristoff," she argued, agreeing to the star queens terms. "I will do it for peace and the alliance between our two governments."

Kristoff sighed. "Fine, but can she promise that you won't be harmed and that nothing bad will happen to you?"

Elsa smiled. "I assure you, sir, that no harm will come to your friend while she is my guest," she vowed. "I give you my word as Queen."

Kristoff nodded. "Alright your majesty, you've got a deal."

Anna threw open the doors to her house, dropping her bags to the floor. There wasn't a doubt in her mind of what she wanted to do now, who she needed to see.

As she made her way towards the stairs, she heard her mother calling to her from the kitchen. "Welcome home, sweetie!" She bellowed in her usual cheery tone. "I'm making dinner right now, so don't be on that gizmo of yours too long."

Anna poked her head around the corner. "I won't!" She promised, but new it wouldn't be easy.

Soon, she had made her way up the stairs to her room, quickly changing her clothes to something more comfortable.

Anna sat down on the bed, eventually finding what she was looking for. It was a large, computer headset, one with a very angular design. This was her immersion helmet. Ten years ago, something like this would have cost a fortune, but with how technology had progressed over the last several years, Anna had gotten hers for a bargain.

She placed the helmet on her head, turning it on. The headset whirred softly, soon send pulsing waves into Anna's brain. As Anna lay on her bed, she felt the embrace of sleep come over her as everything soon turned white.

When her eyes opened, she was in a strange place, a landscape made of code and data, a blue grid acting as the sky.

This was interspace, a virtual world where Anna loved to spend her days, along with dozens of others all across the world.

Anna looked down at herself, seeing her clothes had changed to that of her avatar. No longer wearing the simple green shirt and grey slacks from earlier, now she was wearing a crimson jacket, her strawberry hair now short and spiky and a pair of swords on her back.

It did look a little over the top, but Anna was one of those girls who liked to be crazy.

To her left, Anna then saw another figure standing on top of a large rectangular structure, wearing a rather angelic looking outfit that had a lot of exposed skin, and platinum hair draped down her one shoulder in her braid.

The figure suddenly beamed, before she leapt into the air, a pair of crystalline wings sprouting from her back.

Anna smiled as the figure dropped in front of her, landing gracefully before she strode up to her and gave her a beautiful, loving kiss.

The strawberry blonde sighed softly, kissing back immediately with tender, loving passion. She then pulled away, smiling at her girlfriend. "Hey, Elsa," she greeted her. "Sorry, I'm a little late."

"It's okay," Elsa said, smiling with love. Elsa was another user of interspace, accessing the virtual world from the other side of the Earth. Both her and Anna knew they would never be able to meet in real life, so Elsa had set up this private server for them both.

Anna held Elsa's hands, touching them and feeling their warmth as if they were the real things, but she knew that it was only an illusion, her headset stimulating that part of her brain.

"So... How long do you have?" Elsa wondered, smirking.

"About ten minutes," Anna told her, but she knew that in the virtual world, time would flow, much, much more slowly. "So, we've got plenty of time."

Elsa grinned. "Music to my digital ears."
