A/N: Hello one and all, this chapter update is the mark of a new age for this story. I've noticed many complaints over the large blocks of text and the grammatical and spelling mistakes. On this chapter I went through and inserted text breaks for reading pleasure, when I have time I will come through and fix and mistakes in the text.
Jack Frost desperately threw up yet another sheet of ice in an feeble attempt to postpone the inevitable fate that was bearing down upon him. A massive bellow filled the air as the summer spirit Jack was fighting slammed one of its massive flaming fists against the ice that was just thrown into its path.
Glancing past the massive beast Jack caught sight of North herding a group of children to safety. Suddenly the sheet of ice shattered under a brutal hit from the summer spirit hurling Jack into the trunk of a nearby tree. Coughing, the silver haired guardian pushed himself to his feet only to be blasted back by a column of fire.
High above the smoke and carnage of the fire, Tooth flitted back and forth trying to catch sight of her companions. She noticed North's sleigh take off with him and a load of children and a small smile graced her lips, now all that was left was the spirit.
Below her part of the forest exploded into a massive plume of smoke and fire causing the fairy to shiver slightly. Suddenly a terrible thought dawned on her filling her entire being with fear; Jack had gone to distract the spirit.
Coughing violently Jack Frost scrambled to his feet despite the screams of protest his body gave. The fire had left his light blue jacket tattered and blackened as well as a nasty burn on his left shoulder. Pain flared up as he stooped to pick up his staff, causing him to wince. Fear leapt into his heart as the spirit he was so desperately defending himself against appeared in a thicket of trees nearby.
Suddenly the creature lunged forward only to be stopped by a hastily summoned ice sheet. "Jack!" Tooth screamed when she caught sight of the young guardian through the thick smoke that rolled through the forest. "Run Tooth, get away" Jack yelled desperately as he felt the ice shield giving way under the immense heat surrounding it. "No!" Tooth cried defiantly as she shot toward the young guardian. Desperation filled Jack's being as the ice shield holding back a torrent of flames gave way, with a mighty roar he put his strength into one blast of cold that caught the summer spirit in the chest.
Time seemed to slow down as Tooth watched a wave of flames engulf Jack, closing his eyes she saw him give on last order to the wind before he was consumed by the onslaught of flames. A mighty torrent of wind caught Tooth in the chest pushing her away seconds before flames filled the air she was just occupying. The wind kept pushing until Tooth was safely away from the blaze, and then it died off as quickly as it had appeared. Tears filled the fairies' eyes as she shot down into the charred remains of the forest that the unspeakable had happened in.
The first thing she noticed was the hulking form of the summer spirit frozen in time by Jack's final attack, the second was the teens broken body lying at the beasts feet. "No" she screamed flitting quickly to Jack's unmoving body; tears flowed freely as she cupped his pale face desperately searching for a sign of life that would never come. Letting out a scream of desperation she buried her head in the folds of Jack's singed jacket and gripped his cold hands tightly. After a few minutes of crying Tooth pulled away from Jack's body and gazed at his pale, battered face. "I won't let them forget" she whispered as she gently gathered his broken body up in her arms. Looking up into the sky she gingerly rose up from the forest floor straining under the extra weight. Turning to the north Tooth darted away from the forest below taking Jack with her.
The flight only lasted a few minutes before Tooth gently landed on a small frozen pond that she had seen only one other time. Carefully setting Jack down on the ice, Tooth gave him a feather light kiss on the forehead before stepping back. The ice Jack was laying on cracked quietly then slowly parted allowing the guardian's battered body to slip into the frigid water bellow. Then suddenly the crack closed and Jack was gone leaving Tooth alone in the cold. "Goodbye Jack Frost" she whispered mournfully before rising up away from the frozen pond. Turning she glanced at the moon that was just barely visible in the sky. "Bring him back soon" Tooth whispered as a final tear rolled down her cheeks.
