The Big Six: The Origins of Jake Frost
ROTG, HTTYD, TANGLED, BRAVE AND FROZEN X-OVER
Timeline: Before and After the Big Six: Cyprus and The Sinister Three
Jake's POV
Pitch led me out onto the frozen lake. Drago stayed on the shore.
In order for me to become the evil Jack Frost, I needed the ice powers. Pitch knew how to get me those.
"Ok, now what's going to happen is I'm going to put you under the ice. Then, I'll use my magic to raise you up. While this is happening, I need you to remember the time you were the angriest you've ever been in your life. Got it?"
I nodded. That's when Drago came over and stabbed the ice with his spear.
The ice swallowed me. I couldn't breathe. I just closed my eyes and thought back to the worst day in my life.
…
One Year Ago
Grimstad Prison Camps
Jake's POV
I brought my pick ax down. The rock split in two. I turned and brought it down on another rock.
Five years ago, I was arrested for stealing bread for my sister and her son. They were about to die, so I took some bread to them. I was 15 at the time.
Now after two years and an escape attempt which added three more years to my sentence, today might be the day I get out.
I sang along to the song the prisoners sing every day.
Look down, look down
Don't look 'em in the eye
Look down, look down,
You're here until you die
The sun is strong
It's hot as hell below
Look down, look down,
There's twenty years to go
I've done no wrong!
Sweet Jesus, hear my prayer!
Look down look down,
Sweet Jesus doesn't care
I know she'll wait,
I know that she'll be true!
Look down, look down,
They've all forgotten you
When I get free Ya won't see me
Here for dust!
Look down, look down
Don't look 'em in the eye
How long, oh Lord
Before you let me die?
Look down, look down,
You'll always be a slave
Look down, look down,
You're standing in your grave
Just then, some guards unhooked my chain from the ground and began to drag me through the dirt. They stopped and grabbed me and threw me at the feet of the one man everyone feared.
Lord Cyprus.
He threw a yellow page at me.
Now prisoner 24601
Your time is up
And your parole's begun
You know what that means.
I smiled and nodded as I grabbed the paper.
Yes, it means I'm free.
He shook his head
No!
Follow to the letter your itinerary
This badge of shame you'll show until you die
It warns you're a dangerous man
I stole a loaf of bread.
My sister's child was close to death
And we were starving.
You will starve again
Unless you learn the meaning of the law.
I know the meaning of those 5 years
A slave of the law
Two years for what you did
The rest because you tried to run
Yes, 24601.
My name is Jake Cross.
And I am Cyprus
Do not forget my name!
Do not forget me,
He then grabbed something from a fire. It was a half of a face. I heard this is only for the men who try to run, known as the Scarface runners.
I tried to escape. But two guards held me down. Cyprus put the hot metal on the left side of my face.
The pain was excruciating. I screamed in agony. I looked around for help. All the other prisoners ignored me.
Finally, Cyprus took it off. I rushed over to a water bucket and put my face in it.
"24601." He said as he walked away.
After I cooled my face off, I grabbed my paper and walked to the exit, listened to the sounds of the other prisoners.
Look down, look down
You'll always be a slave
Look down, look down
You're standing in your grave
…
Six months later.
I tried to keep warm as night fell. Winter was almost here.
After being released from the camp. I've been living off the streets. I checked in with my parole officer once a month. No one would hire me or anything. Especially with a face like mine.
My face scarred up really bad after the burns healed. I now look like a monster. Children screamed when I came near.
I finally got comfortable when I felt someone shake me. I immediately jumped up, ready for a fight.
There stood a man in a black and red uniform. The number three was on his chest.
"It's ok. I'm here to help." The man said.
"Who are you?"
"I'm nobody. But you, my friend, are a corrupt soul that need a nest with more corrupt souls."
"What are you talking about?' I asked.
He handed me something that looked like a ticket.
"Go to the docks at midnight. A ship will come in and take you to a safe place. The Courts of Darkness."
The man turned and left.
I peeked inside the house I was next to. 10 minutes til midnight.
I took off towards the docks. When I got there, there were three men waiting there too.
Then in the distance a lone ship came through the mist.
It pulled up to the docks. A ramp came down.
I handed the man waiting on the ship the ticket. He nodded and let me on.
I finally felt peace. I was going somewhere safe.
…
6 months later.
Pitch's POV
I watched as the ice closed the gap that Jake fell in. Using all my dark magic, I casted the spell to bring him back to life.
Then Jake raised out of the ice, and something started happening. The ice around us began to crackle. It wasn't Jack's type of magic. It was a lot more violent.
Just then giant spikes came out of the pond. Drago and I jumped back as the ice exploded.
Jake scrolled over to us. He looked just like Jack, but one difference. His left eye was blood red.
"Jake?"
He looked at me.
"What's your mission?"
He smiled and evil smile
"Destroy the Big 6."
Well, now you know.
