Hopeful Heroism

The **Hopeful Heroism** is a Mirrorverse Event that lasted from July 6-July 20 2022, at 18:00UTC. It featured Anna and Buzz Lightyear. It was part of the Dawn of Hope Overarching Event, immediately following "A Frosty Unraveling."

## Synopsis

*The Fractured Invasion was driven out of Mirrorforge Crater and to the Forest's Edge – but not before they acquired some of the Arctic Fragments! At Elsa’s request, Anna heads there to retrieve them but quickly discovers the Fractured have found a way to tap into the Arctic Fragments’ energy. Thankfully, Buzz Lightyear was made aware of the situation by Woody and is ready to provide much-needed backup!*
## Story

Following the events of "A Frosty Unraveling," Buzz Lightyear arrives in Forest's Edge, Corona. After becoming concerned at the lack of Fractured in the area, Buzz is ambushed, and rescued by Anna, Ward of Arendelle. Elsa had previously informed Buzz that Anna would know what to do about the Arctic Fragments. Anna recognizes Elsa's magic in the Arctic Fragments, and deduces that the Fractured that hold the fragments are now being drawn to Anna due to her connection to her sister, which helps Buzz figure out that if he stays with Anna, he will find the Fractured.

The fragments are able to enhance the Fractured forces, so Buzz declares their main goal to neutralize them. Anna notices him narrating to himself, and picks up the habit, finding it comforting. She compliments him on being a good sidekick, to which he replies he is a primary protagonist, despite sometimes "letting Woody think" that he is the sidekick. He asks if Anna is Elsa's sidekick, and Anna replies that they are co-protagonists.

Anna loses Buzz and then narrates to herself, beginning to send a message to her sister for if they don't make it out before she is interrupted by Buzz's arrival; he says he didn't interrupt Anna before so that she could continue her "great story."

After completing the boss battle, Anna and Buzz deliver the Arctic Fragments back to Elsa and Woody. Elsa is confident she will be able to safely destroy them at Mirrorforge Crater. Anna and Buzz share an inside joke about being co-protagonists, and Woody gets a little jealous that they had a bonding moment.
