A/N: This chapter is pretty short. It picks up after this, I promise!

"Jack! Jack!" Toothiana screamed, fighting against the black ice caging her wrists.
Beside her, Bunnymund and North were unconscious. He had knocked them out earlier for being overly irritating. On her other side, Sandy was glaring silently, his sand chiming and making expressions over his head, but Jack didn't care to decipher them.
"Shut up!" Jack snarled, startling the Tooth Fairy into silence.
"Oh Jack," she whispered sadly.
North had been the easiest.
He just had to show up into the workshop, startling the Guardian of Wonder.
"Jack!" He exclaimed in surprise and delight. "It is good to see you back-!"
And then the winter spirit struck so fast North was crumpled on the floor before he knew what was happening. He bound the Guardian and let Pitch deal with the Guardians' headquarters while he used one of North's snow globes to travel to Bunnymund's lair.
In comparison, the Easter bunny had been difficult. The Guardian of Hope was suspicious from the beginning, and had put up a good fight. Over half his tunnels had been destroyed in the resulting fight.
The disappearance of half the Guardians in such a short period of time put Toothiana and Sandy on alert.
Of all the Guardians, the Sandman was, without a doubt, the oldest and the most powerful. Their battle took to the heights of the skies, he found himself (reluctantly) surprised by the creativity of the oldest Guardian.
And if he were to be honest, Sandy would have (easily) overpowered Jack had it not been for Pitch's timely intervention.
After that, the Tooth Fairy was a piece of cake. All he had to do was capture her Baby Tooth assistants and use them as a shield against her attacks. It was enough to make the Guardian of Memories hesitate, and when she did, he struck.
"You're the Guardian of Fun," a whisper came, and Jack scowled at the Tooth Fairy before rendering her unconscious.
"You got something you want to say too?" He muttered to Sandy.
Sandy remained silent, struggling with the black sand Pitch infused into his binds.
