"Never mind!" said Pitch Frost grumpily and wrapped his wet arms around his father. It didn't last long. "Now, that you're here, I'd ask you to get rid of him," asked Pitch, slightly patting Jack's cheek. "You mean kill him?" asked Jack again. "What!" Jack cried in his mind. "No-no. Toss him away, I mean, far away from here. Toss him somwhere where the other guardians can find him. Besides, we can't have his powers going out of control in my lair." he made it more exact. "Out of control?" Pitch Frost asked. "When part of his soul extracted itself it leaves the original weak and unable to control their powers. To make it worse the fear and pain from the extraction stays behind until then. So when he is able to move again, the fear and pain will completely take over, therefore, his powers go out of control for a while. Afterwards he will seem to be alright, but since missing a part of his soul he will be vunarable, and since you are only half a soul you are still weak in power and both of you will disappear forever. But you can become all powerful once you merge back with him, only you will be the part of the soul in control. That's why I still need him, so go bring him by the North pole before his powers go out of control." and the King of nightmares vanished into the shadow of the ark.
Pitch Frost stepped into the dark pond, ignoring the unmoving body of Jack Frost. He fished out the black staff, which was a duplicate of the original one, from the water. Now it belonged to him. As his hand touched it, black and smooth staff got covered by forefinger-length black sharp thorns. Pitch Frost giggled to himself. He grabbed Jack and effortlessly tossed him over his shoulder and flew off.
After a short time, Jack was thrown away somewhere on the field, which was covered in snow, along with his staff. Pitch Frost turned his head towards him. "Soon, you will have to face me again, Jack Frost. I promise you that," He grinned as evilly as Pitch Black. Standing on a rocky mountain, he could see the Work Shop where Jack's friends gathered. What would they think if they knew there were two Jack Frosts. Their reaction would be priceless. "But we aren't the same. We are two different sides of the one coin, which landed on the dark side now, surpassing the light one, evermore."
Black hair, grayish pale skin, tarnished blue hoodie and black eyeballs with yellow- orange pupils, the shadows under the eyes making them look even darker and grumpier; his eyes were filled with evil and hate towards all of the living things. But, as Jack had, he also remained a child, however, a very sadistic one. Since the day he had been born, anything won't be ever the same again. The true darkness and cold were born into this world. A darkness named Pitch Frost.
As he flew away Jack tried to get up but he couldn't even move an inch. Fear of knowing his powers going out of control near his friends, pain from having part of his soul ripped out, and most of all anger at himself for falling for Pitch's trap; filled his whole being. As he laid there waiting for the inevitable, Jack went back to his last few moments with his friends.
Before the attack
"I told you it wasn't my fault!" Jack shouted back to Bunny
"Wha- It wasn't YA fault!? Then, why was my Warren all covered up in SNOW! Everything was frozen! Ice and snow are ya elements! That clearly proves that you were the one in my Warren! Does it not, North?" he yelled to the young Winter Spirit
"..." North just stayed there... watching the two Guardians arguing... again... But noticed that this time, Bunny was going too far.
Bunny didn't gave attention to North's silent reply and continued to hurt Jack's feelings... something that Bunny himself haven't noticed yet.
"Look... I'm sorry for the Main the Moon's sake!" Sandy, North, and Tooth's eyes widened at this... the bad part was approaching, "My powers got out of control!"
"Out of control?! OUT OF CONTROL?! You did it on purpose! And if your powers got out of control, then why did they got out of control?! Only in me WARREN!" the Pooka said getting very, very hysteric.
"..." he didn't answer back. He couldn't tell the Guardians that his powers got out of control just because he had a fight with Jamie, his first believer, the little kid that he considered as his little brother...
"I knew it! That was just a sorry excuse coming from a trouble-makin child!" He remembered, Jack IS a child, but Bunny's ego still roared.
"It was no excuse! It was the truth!" when he said those words, a blizzard was outside North's Workshop
"Why don't you play with your 'powers out of control' in another area?!"
"..." Jack backed down at that motion.
"You are just a 318 years old boy that will never grow up because he's an Inmortal!"
"Bunny, stop!" shouted Tooth to Bunnymund, when she noticed that Jack pulled his hood up... that was not a good sign of Jack's mood... the Globe Room's temperature dropped like 20 or 30 degrees or so... she noticed that too
Jack wasn't meeting anyone's gazes... he just stayed there in the middle of the room hearing Bunnymund's hurtful words for him. He looked at the ground and kept staring at it... Then, he just looked up a little, but his eyes couldn't be seen because of the hood's shadow on his eyes... he met with Bunnymund's gaze, "tell me more..." he said in a very, very low tone
"Wha?"
"Tell me more..." he forced his voice a little more
"Ya want me to keep telling yah... ok then... You are a 318 years old boy that drowned in a lake saving his sister and Man in the Moon revived you as Jack Frost without memories... you spent 300 years of loneliness and sorrow causing mischief all around the world. You ruined Easter Sunday with the blizzard of '68..."
North approached Bunny and placed a hand on one of his shoulders, "Bunny, stop already... You are hurting young Guardian's feelings..."
He was cut off by Jack who said with sadness and anger at the same time, "No, North, the stupid Easter Kangaroo is right..."
Bunny didn't understand a single thing. From when does the Winter Spirit gives him the reason? "Excuse me, but... What did you say?"
"Keep telling me more..." he whispered
"Sorry, but I can't hear ya, mate."
Jack burst out full of anger in his eyes and his voice. He shot such a cold look at Bunnymund, that you may say that he was like an assassin... "Keep telling me what I already know! DAMN IT!" Everyone's eyes widened in shock, even Bunny's.
Jack flew off, somehow being led into Pitch's lair where he fell into a trap.
A few hours earlier: Right after Jack flew off
Bunnymund was running like crazy through all the room because Tooth was throwing at him everything that she could find. Even the poor little elves. She was angry with Bunnymund for hurting poor Jack's feelings. "It was all your fault!" He was the one that started to hurt the young Immortal's feelings.
Tooth took North's ice sculptures and threw them all against the Australian rabbit, but of course, not the ice figures that Jack had made of never-melting ice. Then she didn't realize that she had thrown a heart-shaped ice sculpture Jack had made at Bunny. "Oh no!" She cried, "Jack's heart ice sculpture!" Thankfully, The rabbit catches the figure before it could hit him. He looked down at one of his paws, where the ice figure was, It looked so beautiful and shiny... until the heart split right in the middle. That broke the rabbit's heart. It it made him reconsider about what he had said to the Frost Child.
"I may have been a little harsh on him... wasn't I?" he asked, sadness been notable on his voice.
"A little harsh!? I would say you were awful! You were far too harsh on Jack!" she answered, shouting obviously with anger. "Now go out there and bring him back and APOLOGIZE!"
Bunny said nothing, but he got the point, he was way ahead of her. He tapped his paw down and opened a tunnel to outside the workshop. "Burr!" He shivered. As he began walking he stopped, "What?" he noticed a figure flying through the air. "Snow flake!" As he got a bit closer he noticed Jack looked a bit different and he was carrying something over his shoulder. Bunny, felling something was off, hid himself behind a large snow pile, still staring at the boy. The 'Jack' threw down the 'item' he was carrying and flew off quickly after staring at the object for a minute.
After being sure he was gone, Bunny rushed over to the object and gasped in shock. "Jack!" He wrapped his arms around the child and noticed he looked really weak, his eyes were barely open but Bunny could tell Jack didn't even realize he was being held. Bunny's eyes widened when he saw tears flowing from the child's eyes. He picked the boy up and made a tunnel to the workshop. However, before he could leap into it.
"AHHHH!" Jack screamed loudly and in terror. He gripped his face in his hands. He continued to scream as the snow around them began raging violently. The wind seemed to lift Jack out of Bunny's arms and into the air. Every time he screamed Bunny could feel the pain that Jack felt. Santa, sandman and Tooth rushed quickly from the workshop when they saw the winds raging from outside the window.
"What did you do, Bunny!" Tooth yelled through the roaring winds.
"I didn't do anything! I saw something drop him down here. He looked weak so I was bringing him back to the shop when he just flipped out!" Bunny exclaimed.
"This isn't good!" North said. "His powers are really going out of control. If we weren't spirits we would be frozen right now. Look!" He pointed at Jack.
The snow began circling around him and the winds began pushing the guardians backwards. Everything began to freeze into ice, even the guardians were beginning to get frozen by the snow.
"Sandy!" North shouted at the sandman, who was creating a giant umbrella to block the snow storm. "Try and hit him with the sleep sand! Maybe if he falls asleep his powers will calm down!" He could still hear the boy crying and screaming in fear and pain.
Sandy nodded and saluted to North and sandy slowly, against the raging winds, made his way closer to Jack; however the winds became so forcibly strong that he couldn't move an inch further. He shot a beam of sand at the boy, but the winds were fighting back, it took all sandy had to finally get a bit of sand to hit the boy. The wind slowly began to die down and Jack's screams softened and in a split second it all stopped. Sandy, tired from fighting the storm, fell to the ground and was caught by Tooth. While Jack, who quickly awoke despite the dream sand, was caught by Bunny.
The tears were still flowing for a minute before ceasing. "What happened. Did I cause this?" Bunny asked, sad and worried about the child. They guardians heard a voice they noticed to be Manny.
"No! That was not the cause of this outbreak." The guardians stared up to the moon. "Jack Frost has had half of his soul stolen from him."
"What!? T-that's impossible!" North shouted in shock. The other guardians gasping in disbelief.
"Who did this to him?" Bunny asked angrily.
"He has noticed that his powers were becoming out of control more and was the perfect time for him to strike. To create a being more powerful than the cold and dark, but to be a lapdog for him to control. Once joined in physical contact the dark and light will battle in the single mind. The King of Nightmares paired with the Prince of Cold will now give birth to the Prince of Darkness if the dark shall win, however if the light shall prevail, the powers will stay at rest for hundreds more years."
"Are you saying that Pitch did this to him?" Tooth asked. Bunnymund growled with a slight "I'm gonna kill him!"
The light from the moon began to dim. The last thing he said to the Guardians before it faded away completely, "In order for the light to prevail, a force of light- stronger than all other- must guide him back home. If it shall fail, the world shall be covered in ice, snow and darkness. However, if not joined together, both will cease to exist." And with that the light from the moon disappeared.
For the first time they saw the spirit of winter shiver to the cold.
Jack groaned and stirred in the infirmary bed. As he opened his eyes he saw Pitch and Pitch Frost staring at him with evil grins. "You will be mine, Jack!" "You hate me? You are me! You're a killer, Jack! You kill things every time you make a storm, you're the cause of car accidents, people and plants and animals freezing to death! It's your fault!"
"NOO!" Jack screamed and impulsively shot a powerful beam of ice which passed through Pitch and Black Jack, freezing the entire corner of the room.
"Jack! Please calm down! You're safe!" Jack, covered in cold sweat, focused to see Tooth hovering over him, Bunny and North was holding him down from when he spazzed out a moment ago. Sandy was standing on the head of the bed, a bunch of random sand pictures floated over his head, trying to explain what was going on and what happened, however, Jack was to spaced out to understand.
"W-where am I?" Jack asked weakly.
"You're in the pole, mate. Relax." Bunny reassured, unable to look the boy in the eyes.
"How did I get here?" suddenly he remembered Black Jack and Pitch. "Pitch! He did something to me! He created another me! An evil me!" He tried to exclaim to his friends only to be cut off by a unusually compassionate Bunny.
"We already know, mate. Pitch is trying to turn you dark by merging your dark side and good side. He probably has some plan to make sure you don't beat the darkness, but we won't let that happen, mate. Not on yer life."
