Mosaic City, located along China's coast, is quite large city sometimes called the Crossroads Between Nations due to its diverse population. While it was once a large tourist spot, the city was placed under a blockade as the military appeared claiming there was a radiation leak. The true hazard, however, is much more sinister.

Tristan looked around where he was. He wasn't really all that far from any of his old training grounds. Not that it mattered. He was here for the mission, that was it. No time for reminiscing. The boy stretched and put on his gauntlets. Then, he made sure his scythe was sharpened.
He knew he was about to be cold, so he had brought a scarf for extra warmth. It was black, and went right over the necklace he had received from Vice. Even though Vice had turned dark side, Tristan was keeping that chain. He didn't care if the new Vice had killed all other Users. The old Vice had been his friend, and Tristan was going to keep the memory of him alive.
Now then, where's my helper? Hopefully someone who isn't weak to ice...

The two of you enter the designated building that housed the ice cream truck. It wasn't hard to find given the hole in the window. Upon entering, you immediately feel cold. Your breathe is visible as well. Something odd seems to be going on and signs seem to point to the obvious.
Making your way up the stairs, you encounter a few shadows. All of them seemingly ice aligned. You can already tell something weird is going on with that truck.

Tristan turned to see Isolde approaching. He was slightly surprised that his teammate was the first User he had met, but he was glad. It meant that he was getting a person to help him out that he knows he can trust. Besides, he was pretty sure Isolde was ice-focused. That could come in handy given how the mission was going to be cold.
"Isolde. How's it going? You ready for this?" He waited for a response, then started walking towards the building where the truck was. "This should be fun, don't you think?" No sooner than he had said that, he saw two icy shadows approaching. One a gigas, the other was a magus. Tristan gave a small grin as he walked towards the gigas.
"I'll take the big one. Have fun with the other guy..." He figured Isolde could handle herself. Besides, he utilizes fire. If anything went out of control, he'd be able to help out. Although... Using fire would be too easy... Maybe I should just use other elements...
That decided, Tristan opened up with a Mudoon on the Gigas. It hit the shadow dead-center, but it did nothing to throw it off balance. The shadow swung violently and landed a powerful blow. The boy recovered and summoned Ifreet. He cast Sukukaja and looked at the shadow. Deciding that everything about it being too easy was not going to end well, Tristan fired off a Maragion.
The gigas started to melt as the fire impacted. Tristan turned to see if Isolde was in need of any help.

You continue making your way up to the third floor after taking care of the shadows. As you do, the area begins to feel progressively colder. Finally, you reach your destination with the ice cream truck in plain sight. A visible ring of icy wind permeates the surrounding area. And a moment later, swarms of white and blue maya burst out of the truck.
They all begin to swarm you and attempt to freeze you solid! They seem to freeze anything they touch. You'll need to take care of these before you continue any further.

Tristan took a look around. Isolde had finished off the magus, and that cleared out the area. With a smirk and a congratulatory nod towards her, the boy started to walk on. It wasn't long before he found the ice cream truck.
Starting to run towards it, Tristan didn't notice the swarms of Maya. He was too busy taking note of how the entire room seemed coated in ice. When his foot started to become covered in ice, though, he started to focus a bit.
He summoned Ifreet as the ice crept up his leg. Casting Maragion a couple times, Tristan looked to Isolde. Many of the Maya died from the flames, but there were still some survivors. The boy found himself too covered in ice to react any more.
He could only hope that his partner-in-crime would be able to finish off the few that were left.

The swarms of Maya don't seem to be the end of the battle though. After they had all been dealt with, some more enemies pop out of the truck. though, these ones seem much more "happy" in the best way to describe it. But these enemies seem to be what is causing the intense cold as well as what is preventing you from leaving with that truck.

Tristan managed to break free from the ice just as Isolde finished off the Maya swarm and as three new enemies appeared. With a sigh, the boy decided to go after the two smaller ones. In his experience, the bigger an enemy, the harder it hit. Given how Isolde nullified any ice damage, it was probably best if she were to take on the crown toting snowman.
The boy summoned Ifreet and cast Maragion. As expected, the two snowmen were weak to the fire, but they didn't melt. With a grin, Tristan decided to use his newest attack. Summoning Ifreet again, the boy slashed at the snowmen with impressive force. The two ice creatures vanished, and Tristan started towards the ice cream truck. He figured that these things were the last enemies.
