The Dark Crystal

by syd04

This story starts a year after Pitch is defeated. The lights on the globe have started to go out again. It's up to the guardians to figure out what is causing it and stop it. As they look everywhere for the source, the lights on the globe keep going out. Christmas is upon them, and North is out with the guardians, not in his workshop. The yetis and elves are barely any help either.

1. The Globe Lights

Sandy smiled. His job was done. He had put a good dream in the last child. As he floated in the starry He decided to visit the North Pole, to check on the globe. Sandy was sure the globe had millions of little lights on it, representing all the children that believed, but ever since Pitch gotten stronger quickly and unexpectedly for unknown reasons, it was nice to check on it.

Sandy materialized his flyer, and soared away. As he flew, he saw lights flipping on in the children's houses. He saw the sun rising high into the sky. It was daytime.

When Sandy arrived at the North Pole, what he saw made his eyes pop! The lights on the globe were going out. "Not again," thought Sandy. He rushed into the workshop, looking for North. One of the yetis was painting a truck yellow. Sandy shook his head at the non-Christmasy color. The yeti had already made 15 of the trucks. "Uuummph!?" the yeti moaned and let his head bang on the table. Sandy continued to search for North. He was not in the work shop. He searched in North's he was, pondering new toy ideas for the creative and bright children. North immediately saw that something was wrong with Sandy, an exclamation point had appeared over his head."Sandy, what's wrong?" North asked with his thick accent. Sandy pointed towards the globe. North's eyes widened. His got out of his seat, slowly. He walked through the workshop, past the yeti who was still redoing the work he had lost. North nodded slightly at the new, improved color. When Sandy and North reached the globe, they saw many lights flickering out slowly. "What is this...?" North asked in wonder, but not the good kind. "Has Pitch returned?! What is going on?!" North asked angrily, to nobody in particular. A question mark appeared over Sandy's head. North pressed a big, red button. The Northern lights appeared everywhere.

Tooth looked up from a tube of a little girl's teeth. Baby tooth had come to her buzzing and pointing towards the windows. Tooth flew up and saw the Northern Lights."Oh no... no,no,no,no, no ,no, no, no!" she cried. She flew to the North Pole. "Why does it have to be so cold up here?" Tooth grumbled to herself.

Jack was starting on his ice palace in the South Pole. He had already made the outside of it. It was immense and Jack thought it was a little too girly. He made some changes to the windows and the sparkling towers. He admired his work. The tower tops looked like Hershey Kisses. The main structure of the palace was round and was 3 stories. Jack was marveling over his icy creation. He was about to start on the interior, when he saw the lights hanging above him. They were beautiful, but they meant something bad. Jack flew over to the North Pole. His palace would have to wait.

Bunnymund was lying in the snow, enjoying the day. He was painting one of his eggs, getting an early start for Easter. He placed it in the basket of eggs he had already painted. Bunnymund hopped up. He looked towards the sky, it was starting to snow. Then he saw a figure up in the sky. It was Jack. In the background, he saw colored lights, the Northern Lights. "Crikey, not now!" Bunnymund said, agitated. He sprinted down his tunnels and came up in the room where the globe is.

Even more lights had flickered out.
