Chapter two: Enemies united

North St. Nicholas, also known as the every-famous Santa Claus, sat in his workshop, his fingers drumming on the side of his face. There was something wrong in the air, he could feel it – in his belly! He had no inspiration for any of the toys, he didn't feel like having any cookies or milk or eggnog, heck, he didn't even feel like swinging his swords at random objects for amusement. Something was bugging his mind, he didn't know what it was, but he knew it wasn't good. He sighed. "Rimsky Korsakov," he muttered, planting his face on his desk. Something was wrong, there was an upset balance in the world, but he knew for sure it wasn't Pitch. If it was, then they would know. So if it wasn't Pitch, then what was it?

All of a sudden a gust of wind swept past North, nearly knocking him from his desk. "Woah!" he exclaimed. The wind bellowed in rage as it crashed into shelves containing books and potions and carving ice. North gripped onto his desk as the wind threatened to crash him into the wall. the door leading to the actual workshop was unexpectedly opened and the wind carried the desk - and him, out into the workshop. "What iz going on here?!" he exclaimed. Then another brush of wind flew past him and he heard…laughter. Little, childish, laughter. 'What?!' he thought. He looked at the giant globe and watched as it's rotation started slowing down. "What? Who'z doing dis?" he exclaimed. He looked at two of his yetis. "Check rotation axis. Make sure it is alright," he demanded. The yetis nodded and were about to go down to inspect on the rotation axis when they and North saw something that made their blood freeze.

Frost was slowly creeping onto the globe. North could hear and practically hear the sickening crack as ice started spreading all around the globe. "What?!" he exclaimed. The ice was spreading like a dropped glass on a surface. Except it wasn't like that at the same time. The frost was covering the entire globe, but the ice was making a pattern, it was forming something but…what was it? As North inspected closer, he noticed that the ice was forming words! His eyes widened as he read the words on the globe as it tried to turn but was forced to hold back because of the ice keeping it down. "Who…who did dis?" he whispered. He was about to turn to the yetis to check on the globe when he saw something whisk past him, and then he heard a laugh. Little childish, laughter, except it sounded wild and crazy, and truly, utterly, mad. There was a slam, and then, silence. "Ragayaga blar?" one of the yetis asked. North turned to the yeti and nodded.

"Yes. Make the call. And hurry."

"Alright mate, give me one good reason, one very absolutely perfect reason, that you would have called me, the Easter Bunny, three days before my holiday."

North put his hands to his face as he listened to one of his fellow guardians E. Aster Bunnymund rant on about how much he, North, didn't care about Easter and how he loved Christmas more and how Bunny was pissed at the fact that North didn't seem to care about his holiday. Two of his other fellow guardians, Queen Toothiana and Sanderson McSnoozie watched as Bunny ranted on to North, and the both of them were obviously peeved. The four guardians, also known as the Big Four, were now seated in North's workshop. "North, why did you bring us here anyways?" Tooth asked. "I know that you're not busy with your job, but the rest of us are, and since the temperatures have dropped, I've had to keep my fairies flying just so they could outfly the blizzards! Why now?"

"You know I would have not called you here if I had not been given reason," North said. He placed his hands on his desk. "Anyways, just take a look around you."

The other three guardians looked around and finally noticed the ice and frost surrounding them. Books and broken potions scattered around them, as well as fallen bookcases and toys. "Bloody hell mate, what did you do? It looked like a blizzard went through here."

"Dats because one did," North sighed. He walked over to the door and opened it. Each of the guardian's eyes widened as they saw the globe encased in ice and frost, as well as walls around them. But what was more disturbing was the message written in ice.

"Hello guardians. Let's play a little game! It's called Cops and Robbers except you guys are the robbers, and I'm the cop. Here's how the game will go: I'll hunt you down, and you'll have to run away like the good little robbers you are. Except there's a catch: an extra team member will be playing our little game with us. I bet we'll have soooo much fun together. And just because I love you guys sooo much, here's a little hint to help you find your fifth player: your worst nightmare. You better hurry. Time's running out. And you better not back down, or I'll freeze the entire world, including all the little innocent children you pathetic guardians love and protect. Now have fun!"

Bunny shivered as he read the last words of the message. "What kind of sick joke is this?!" he exclaimed.

"I do not know," North said, "And I do not think dis is sick joke either. My guess is dat we must play along, so dat no one gets hurt."

"But…" Tooth began. North spoke before she could. "You read message. If either of us back down, den world will freeze," he said. "We cannot back down now. If we do, we lose children."

"And that, is something we cannot afford," Bunny said. "Now, first question is, who is this crazy frost person and why does he want to harm the world?!"

"I don't know, Bunny, but I don't think now's a good time to think about it," Tooth said. Sandy nodded in agreement and pictures flashed above him, snow, then a person, then the globe, then he pointed to the message. "Right, first we play along with game, den we find out who is wants to destroy world," North said. "Now, first thing first, what iz worst nightmare?"

"I dunno, um…no easter?"

"Bad cavities?"

"Undead dogs?"

"No belief?"

As the three guardians debated on what the hint was about, Sandy floated past them and stared at the message again. "Your worst nightmare." What did it mean, exactly? Sandy was dreams, and the opposite of dreams were nightmares, and so the opposite of him was…Sandy looked back at the ground and saw a shadow were there wasn't one before. He floated back down to the ground and looked at the weird shadow. He made words above his head. I know you're there.

"Well, at least one of the guardians has common sense, even if it is you," a British voice said. The other three guardians turned around and saw a tall grey man with spiky black hair looking down on Sandy. "So, from all the ice and frost I'm assuming you got the message."

"Pitch!" Bunny exclaimed. He ran at Pitch, boomerangs in hand. Pitch melded into the ground and reappeared behind him. "Go suck a carrot, rabbit, I'm not looking for a fight," he muttered. Bunny growled at him and pointed one of his boomerangs at Pitch. "What are you doing here? We're kind of busy, if you don't mind!" he exclaimed.

"I'm just taking a part of your little game," Pitch said. "What was it again? Cops and robbers? We're the robbers and whoever wrote the message is the cop. If one of us backs down, then the entire earth is frozen. Isn't that what it said?"

"And why exactly would you care?!" Bunny exclaimed.

"Because if the entire earth is frozen, that means all the children are frozen, which means no more fear," Pitch said. Before Bunny could speak, Pitch started speaking again. "Whoever wrote the message obviously loves playing games, and he knows that we hate each other with an undying passion. There was a quote that one of the mortals said a long time ago: 'Divide and conquer'. He wants us to fight and bicker so much that we forget about his little game and then he kills us and freezes all of the earth."

"Well, can't Manny stop him?" North asked. Pitch shook his head.

"Your precious Manny can't help you now, not even if he tried," Pitch said. "It's almost a Lunar Eclipse. He's being drained of his magic as we speak." Sandy nodded in agreement and North sighed. "Da, I guess you're right," he muttered.

"So, now what?"

Pitch frowned. "Don't know. We don't have any leads on what to do now, nor who he is, but I know what we can't do is stay in one area. The point of cops and robbers is for the robbers to run away from the copper. The copper gives the robbers a few minutes or so and then the copper hunts them down by putting them all 'in jail'. The copper wins when all the robbers are 'in jail'."

"And how do you know this?" Bunny demanded.

"Let's just say I have a lot of free time."

The four guardians looked at one another in apprehension. "So, first thing first, we have to find out who would do this," North said.

"Well I can tell ya one thing mate," Bunny said. "It would have to be someone who hates us and can control winter."

"Mother Nature?" Tooth suggested. Pitch shook his head.

"That woman loves you four, no matter how impossible it may seem," Pitch said. "And of all the seasons that she can control, her least favorite is winter. She wouldn't dare use that season above all others to destroy us."

"So then who do you think did it, oh wise one?" Bunny asked mockingly. Pitch put his hands to his chin. "I don't know, but I think I might have an idea," he said.

"Well, vat is it?" North exclaimed. Pitch shook his head. "I don't know if I'm right or not, but I know that he's obviously pissed."

"He?"

Unexpectedly, a dozen little tooth fairies flew towards Toothiana, their little little chirps filling the room. "What's going on here?!" Bunny exclaimed. The tooth fairies ignored him and continued chirping to their mother. The guardians (and Pitch) watched as Toothiana's eyes grew wide. "Tooth?" North asked, his voice full of worry. "Toothie, vat are dey saying?"

Without warning, Tooth zoomed past North and the others in a flurry of wind and feathers. She started darting around the room in a hurry before finally speeding outside the door. "Whats going on now?!" Bunny exclaimed in anguish. Pitch's jaw was set and his lips were pressed together tightly. Sandy tugged on Pitch's coat. Pitch looked at him and Sandy made little symbols above his head. There was an image of Tooth, then an image of Pitch, then a question mark. Pitch nodded and looked at the fairies disappearing in the distance. "Yes, I do know," he said.

"Know what?" Bunny demanded.

Pitch turned to him, a face of determination set onto his face. "The Tooth Palace. It's being attacked."

OOC, OOC EVERYWHERE! *tosses around random flowers*

Yes, the guardians maybe slightly OOC. And Pitch. But remember, they have to put up with each other to save the world. Which means they're going to have to work together to do that. Which will make them OOC. So it's all better now! *shot*
