Made an alteration to the rules regarding Summons. Here it is:
Summons will be handled slightly differently. Rather than learning them as any other ability, they will be obtained in one of two ways: Charms (a la Kingdom Hearts 2) which, like in the game they originated in, are items to be carried around and (by that logic) usable by anyone who's carrying them; the other method of gaining summons is related to the overarching storyline. The difference between these methods is simple: Charms apply to Disney Character summons (eg Dumbo, Tinker Bell, etc), the other method will apply to Final Fantasy summons (eg Ifrit, Shiva, etc).

Okay, sorry for the massive delay but I finally posted. Feel free to finish off the boss.
Once it's dead, you can award yourselves with a new Minor Ability.

Elim's weapon, now a morning star, did considerable damage to the red ice, even cracking it in places. In fact it was near a point of shattering which, theoretically, would destroy the giant. Unfortunately, the Gravity Spell wore off before a final blow could be struck, then giant reformed itself and was ready for a third round. This time, though, getting the red ice to appear wouldn't be so easy, as Simo would find his magical stamina to be at its limit, meaning another Gravity spell just wouldn't be possible until he was able to rest, which the giant had no intention giving to the two. Unfortunately, this meant another strategy would be needed to end this fight once and for all.
That opportunity seemed to present itself when the doors to the ice palace flew open, with Elsa running outside fleeing from something. She stopped briefly when she found the bridge to be out, but a single gesture caused the ice to grow back somewhat, giving her a means to descend down to where the giant stood ready to attack. Just as the monster had raised a hand to strike again, it was suddenly halted, "Stop!" Elsa cried, the giant turning to look at its creator in obedience, "They're not intruders, so stand down-" she blinked in surprise, seeing a pool of darkness forming at the creature's feet and slowly overtaking it. Elsa could even feel the control she had over it slowly slip away, "No!" she exclaimed, now thrusting her palms forward. Instead of commanding the creature, she used her power to forcibly tear away at the snow of its body until the red ice was in view, "You must finish it before I lose control! Hurry!"
Meanwhile, as Serene neared the trees, she would hear voice calling, "Psst! Quick, over here!" it was Ana, who was in hiding along with Kristoff and Sven, "So? Is it over now?" asked the Princess, apparently assuming that Serene coming to find her meant that the battle was over.
Moments Earlier
The Pirate Heartless lunged forward, flying right at Jared in a frontal charge. Jared held up the Keyblade defensively, managing to catch the Heartless's attack and redirect it elsewhere. The thing's back was briefly turned toward him, and Jared was quick to take the opportunity to strike at it's back. He also noticed the door was no longer blocked off, "Quick! Go join the others!" he told Elsa, who hesitated, "Just go! I'll catch up as soon I finish here!" Elsa then made for the door. The Pirate Heartless moved to stop her, but Jared was able to put himself between them and force it continue fighting him while she made her escape.
"What's wrong? Scared to fight me so you go after the girl?" taunted Jared before he lunged forward to continue their fight, which had now become a duel between himself and the Pirate Heartless.

I'm basically trying to decide if I want the fight to reach its conclusion or if I should let it go for a little longer.
Basics
Name: Satsuma Badou, the Devil of Iwagakure
Age: 33
Gender: Male
Birthplace: Unknown
Known History and Secrets
Personality: Satsuma is a man of zero tolerance. Things that earn his ire, such as weakness and defeat, are the things he has no tolerance for. Although he may seem to be the cruel and ruthless devil his reputation makes him out to be, that persona is, in his own words, "Reserved only for the enemy, and no one else." In truth, his frightening presence is meant to be a scare tactic to any who think they can threaten the village, for any who dare to do so would have to face the Devil himself in battle. For his fellow Iwagakure members, Satsuma is merely silent and indifferent, but still willing to fight and kill to protect them, and in fact has done so on several occasions. Satsuma values strength above all else, whether that be strength on the battlefield or simply strength of mind and heart, it matters not. For Satsuma, strength is the foundation for which all beliefs and philosophies stem, and without it, they will simply crumble and fall by the wayside.
History: While Satsuma's actual birthplace remains unknown, it is a known fact that his clan immigrated to the Land of Earth thirty years ago from parts unknown, making them one of the founding clans of Iwagakure. These people brought with them a style of Martial Arts that, back then, was called the Devil Fist. Interestingly, though, these wandering Devil Fist fighters were just that; fighters, as in not ninjas. It wasn't until they had helped found Iwagakure that their fighting style was integrated into certain parts of the village's ninja training, thus being reformed into what is now known as the Nine-Points Discipline. It was said that this reformation was mandated by the Tsuchikage because the original Devil Fist Technique was deemed too cruel, hence certain techniques and stances were forbidden and the Nine-Points Discipline as it is now known was born.
As for Satsuma himself, he was only a small child when the village was first created and has very vague memories of those times. He does, however, remember full well the stories of his father, Akuma Badou, helping to forge the village into its current form with nothing but his strength alone. Naturally, Satsuma grew up idolizing his father and wanting nothing more than to emulate him in every way. Then he actually began his training, and things starting changing. His father, at least when training anyway, seemed to transform into a cruel man who would beat his son at the slightest sign of failure. After all, Akuma himself was considered a hero of the village, so why shouldn't he expect any less of his son? The older Satsuma got, the more he started hating his father's treatment of him. One day, finally fed up with the abuse, Satsuma turned on his father and defeated him in single combat. Akuma, dying in his son's arms, smiled and finally said, "Well done, my son. You're now ready..." and died.
After that, Satsuma himself was the one meant to take his father's place as the clan patriarch, but he refused the position, instead letting one of his cousins become the head of the clan in his place. Satsuma lived and trained alone for several years, until one day he happened to be passing by the academy and noticed a particular boy. The newly graduated Genin looked proud of himself, and Satsuma wondered if he himself had ever looked like that in his boyhood. But then one of the other students began mocking the Genin for reasons that, at the time, Satsuma wasn't aware of. Instead of crying or running away, the boy turned against his classmate in a rage and began beating him. Deciding not to let the altercation go any further, Satsuma intervened and stopped the fight, sending the injured boy to the village medic to be looked at. But that other boy, whose name Satsuma soon learned was Hiroto, there was something in him that Satsuma could clearly see. An inner rage of some kind, whose source Satsuma did not know, but something he knew could be dangerous if left unchecked. And so, with the hope of teaching the young Genin to control his rage and focus it into Taijutsu mastery, Satsuma took the boy as his pupil and began his training, hopefully without nearly as much cruelty as Satsuma himself suffered at the hands of his father.
Clan: Badou
Dreams and aspirations: None to speak of, really.
General strengths: Satsuma is strong, damn strong. A common story about him is that he once defeated an entire squad of ninja by himself with a single punch. The "single punch" part may be debatable, but absolutely no one questions Satsuma's ability to kick multiple asses all at once by himself.
General weaknesses: Satsuma's main weakness stems from the very fighting style he grew up practicing. Nine-Points techniques are criticized for their "lack of honor" but also because many of the advanced techniques tend to be very, very reckless, often causing just as much harm to the user as to the victim. It's also a known fact that the original Devil Fist techniques were also just as dangerous, if not more so. One technique (a Fire Release technique called Hell's Embrace) was said to guarantee the victim's death at the cost of the user's own life alongside them, in other words a suicide technique. Little wonder, then, why it was called the Devil Fist, and why the Tsuchikage forbade their use in the first place.
Strikethrough means redacted. Only certain individuals (Tsuchikage, Satsuma, and Kyoko) have ever seen the redacted bits of info.
Personal Relationships with Others
*twirls mustache* Good... good, all according to plan. *evil cackle*
Hiroto
All around him, Hiroto heard the sounds of training. In fact, there were two fellow genin sparring not too far away. They seemed to have to caught Reiji's attention, Hiroto even feeling tempted to smack his partner upside the head to get him to pay attention to sensei, but Reiji turned back toward them on his own soon enough. During this, their sensei confirmed that she did indeed make a name for herself from psychological screwing people up, she even claimed that she could have been doing that to them right now. Hiroto gulped, even fighting back a sigh of relief when she said she was just joking. Then came the details of their first mission.
"Protecting a carnival, huh? Sounds easy enough." said Hiroto as they walked. In fact it sounded too easy. Hearing the sounds of training and sparring, it made Hiroto itch for a fight. But if the only threat to this carnival was bandits, then any fighting they might see would be dull at best. Bandits were just thugs with no chakra, no jutsu, no nothing. Well, if they attacked in groups they might prove at least a little interesting, but beyond that? Anyway, Hiroto decided not to let himself get too distracted, and decided to ask another question, this time addressing his teammate, "Higashi, huh? Have I heard that name before? Rings a bell, that's for sure." Hiroto never really bothered to learn much about the great clans, instead deciding to keep his distance from them. After all, they were full of spoiled brats who got their jollies from bullying commoners like Hiroto, and frankly Hiroto intended to kick all their asses and bring them all down a peg or three. Some of them, Hiroto knew, could really use a good lesson in humility.
Right about that time, someone yelled about a thief, "Yes!" cheered Hiroto, gearing to finally kick some ass. But then, the thief approached and just... keeled over. The hell? That was probably the first real Genjutsu Hiroto had ever seen someone use, "What happened? Geez, and I thought I'd have an ass to kick." he just shrugged, now almost hoping there would be some kind of attack on the carnival later. Still, sensei just completely owned that guy and she didn't even lift a friggin' finger! Damn... just, damn!
Satsuma
Out of curiosity, Satsuma checked the latest team rosters to see who Hiroto had been paired up with. He raised an eyebrow at the name Akiyama. He'd heard of her, certainly, the Genjutsu specialist who managed to "obtain" a Sharingan. Knowing his pupil, she'd have her hands full, that was for sure. Still, maybe a Genjutsu specialist could teach the boy something about patience, something Hiroto definitely struggled with. As for the teammate, Higashi, Satsuma had only one concern: Hiroto hated nobility, it was people in those social classes that picked on him so harshly in the academy. This had to be intentional, pairing the boy up with people who directly challenged his outlook in order to force him to overcome his personal weaknesses. But of course, there were ways it could backfire as well.
"I hope you know what you're doing Sebaru..." Satsuma said under his breath as he turned to walk away, "...either way this should turn out pretty interesting."

Hiroto also said nothing when his new teammate, Reiji, greeted him. Hey, if Reiji wasn't going to say anything, then Hiroto wouldn't feel any obligation to do so either. He did pause briefly and nodded an acknowledgement, though, but went right back to his exercises after that. Come to think of it, Hiroto wasn't sure he knew much about Reiji. They graduated in the same class, so he knew the kid's name, but not much else. Hiroto wasn't exactly a friend magnet in the academy. When he wasn't pulling pranks he was likely picking fights with other students who made fun of him for his background. Since it wasn't exactly common for a fisherman's kid to become a ninja, the other kids (most of whom came from these big, important ninja families) liked to think of Hiroto as some kind of lowly peasant boy, but of course Hiroto wouldn't stand for any of it and ended up starting more than a few fights in the schoolyard as a result.
A woman's voice was what finally got Hiroto to stop his exercising. He turned and saw what had to be the prettiest face he'd ever seen. That was his new sensei? Score! Thought Hiroto. After having to endure Satsuma's training, this kind-sounding and, more importantly, smoking hot babe of a Jonin was a definite breath of fresh air. Not that Hiroto had the guts to actually say any of that aloud, especially when she showed them her Sharingan. Now, Hiroto wasn't particularly knowledgeable about NInja from other lands, but those Uchiha and their freaky eyes had all kinds of stories and rumors going around about them. The sensei, who introduced herself as Kyoko, explained that she was a Genjutsu specialist and made it very clear that she would not tolerate shenanigans of any kind. Well, crap, they couldn't have picked a worse Genin for her team then, since Hiroto practically lived for shenanigans.
"So basically, your specialty is mind-fucking people, right?" Hiroto asked bluntly. He probably could have phrased it better, but the funny thing was that he wasn't actually wrong, since Genjutsu were generally used specifically for psychological attacks: aka mind-fucking people. "Man, the way you basically go inside people's brains and make them go cuckoo... and people call me a dirty fighter." he said with a small snicker. Though he may not have worded it well, he actually seemed to rather admire the idea of Genjutsu, even if he had no personal interest in pursuing that field.
"Sounds cool and all, but personally I find something more... gratifying about punching people in the face," he shrugged, "maybe that's just me. I'm Hiroto, by the way. Hiroto Narumi, a superstar-in-the-making if I do say so myself."
