Light
Wonder
Hope
Dreams
Memories
Joy
These are what that the five Guardians of children around the world bring, and in return they are given power through belief, as long as one child believes in them they will fight to protect the innocence of all others. Though not all beings such as the Guardians bring good things, some are born to bring the opposite.
Darkness
Fear
Doubt
Nightmares
Corruption
Sorrow
It is those who represent such things that threaten what the Guardians stand and fight for. Beings such as the Boogie Man, also known by the name of Pitch Black was one who dared to stand against the Guardians and was defeated in turn. After his defeat he dwelled in the shadows deep within the earth planning his ultimate revenge. Our story begins one year after the defeat of the legendary man of shadows, when a threat to the world rises again and the Guardians are forced to accept an alliance with one of the shadows. What is to come is our story, and a story should never be simply given away. And so without further adieu our story begins.

It was a cold day in Burgess as Jack Frost the Guardian of Fun and Joy gracefully soared through the air leaving a trail of snow, frost and ice behind him, desperate to turn the school day into a snow day for his friend and first believer Jamie Bennett. Skating along the ground creating cold winds and fresh snow Jack could not help but think about how much better his life has gotten since a year ago during the battle with Pitch. Jack was now a full-fledged Guardian and he now had people who believed in him, which warmed his heart thinking about it. Jack had also grown closer to all his fellow Guardians, well except one certain Guardian (I'll let you guess who that is, hint: Blizzard of 68'), though even so the Guardians were now a greater team than before with an ever growing number of believers, still ever so ready to fight and protect the children of the world.
Jack was so happy with the life he has after 300 years of isolation and loneliness, thankful to the Man in the Moon for all he has done for him. Jack had finished covering the town with enough snow to give them a snow day.
"A job well done, if I say so myself." Jack chuckled to himself as he looked upon the winter wonderland he created.
Now to see how Jamie is doing. Jack intended before something caught his eye.
Bright streams of multicolored light were surging through the sky, Jack knew the lights and what they meant in a heartbeat. The Aurora Borealis was a signal used by North the Guardian of Wonder to indicate an emergency, or the gathering of the Guardians for one reason or another.
Looks like visiting Jamie is going to have to wait. Jack regretfully though as he took off to the North Pole at top speeds. I just pray to MiM that Pitch is not back. The frost spirit hoped as he continued to go north to meet the other Guardians.

North paced back and forth in the meeting room, a look of confusion, annoyance and irritation plastered on his bearded face.
"Why is he back, we already told him no. Why can't that blasted spirit live with the answer he is given." North groaned in frustration to his fellow Guardians.
"He's just too determined to give up now; after all he's been at it for over 200 years. He won't stop asking till he gets what he wants, that's the kind of guy he is." Tooth the Guardian of Memories spoke with a slight groan to the tone of her voice.
The other Guardians could not help but agree with the colorful and elegant member. The silent Guardian known as the Sandman or "Sandy" for short began to create the image of a crescent moon pointing towards what looked like a person. Noticing this the other guardians nodded in agreement.
"Sandy's right, the ignorant spirit has yet to get that we don't call the shots. The Man in the Moon decides who becomes one of us." The Australian accented Easter Bunny, and Guardian of Hope spoke to further emphasize what Sandy pointed out.
Before the four Guardians could continue their discussion a loud thud was heard followed by the temperature dropping a good 10-20 degrees. Jack finally made it to the North Pole, rushing into the meeting room speaking in utter confusion and panic like everything that could go wrong in the world just went wrong.
"What's going on? Are the children in danger? Has Pitch come back? Are we loosing believers? Is a new Guardian to be picked? Are the other legendary figures safe? Is ev-"
"JACK! CALM DOWN!" Tooth shouted at the top of her lungs, knowing it was the only way to get him to shut up.
The entire workshop went dead silent after Tooth's exclamation towards the frost spirit. Not a single elf or yeti was moving, afraid that such a thing might make the Tooth Fairy angrier. After the yetis and elves were told to get back to work the four Guardians began to explain the situation.
"One of legendary figures has asked for audience with us." North began to explain to his confused friend.
"Who is it? And what exactly do they want?" Jack proceeded to ask still not getting the whole situation.
"His name is Jack O' Lantern, and he is the spirit of Halloween" Tooth continued to explain.
"And as for what he wants, well to put it simply…" Bunny picked up with hesitation in the last part of his statement. "He wants to be a Guardian."
"That's all? If this spirit of Halloween wants to be a Guardian then why not let him?" Jack asked, not understanding what the deal was about this Jack O' Lantern wanting to be one of them.
"Listen Jack, you not understand full situation" North spoke placing his large hands on Jack's shoulders.
"Jack O' Lantern is not the type of guy that should be a Guardian" Tooth bluntly stated while taking ahold of Jacks hand, a worried look forming on her face.
"Come on Toothiana, how bad could he possibly be?" Jack laughed out with a big grin on his pale face.
"You have no idea kid." Bunny mumbled whist shuddering.
As if on cue a powerful gust of wind blew open the front door of the workshop letting in the cold air of the outdoor. Pale and translucent ghosts entered the workshop flying everywhere scaring the elves and yetis who were once working hard on gifts for Christmas (Well maybe not the elves). Jack's grin immediately disappeared from his face as all the guardians saw the chaos being formed by the unwelcomed guests. Jack quickly grasped hold of Tooth's arm and pulled her into a protective embrace as a cloaked figure surrounded by a swarm of black bats began to float in their direction. After the figure set foot upon the ground he halted the actions of the ghosts and the bats with a wave of his hand, making them vanish into thin air. The tall cloaked figure looked down at the five Guardians who stood before him, merely speaking with a sinister grin on his face.
"Hello Guardians. Miss me?"
