The Nightmares held Jack back as Pitch let Rapunzel fall off the cliff. Jack screamed again, and this time, he took action. He let an icy burst of wind tear through the Nightmares surrounding him, then took off to catch Rapunzel.
"We need to back him up! Sandy, Tooth, make sure Jack has a clear path to Rapunzel! Bunny, Eugene, let's see if we can't get some of those Nightmares over here!" North shouted out. They leaped into action, Sandy and Tooth paving the way for Jack while North, Bunny, and Eugene cut through as many Nightmares as they could from the sleigh. Jack heard Pitch's laugh, and glanced up to see that the Nightmare King was following him. Jack sped up, not interested in letting Pitch have his way. Meanwhile, North had pulled the sleigh alongside the cliff, and beckoned to the King and Queen, "Get in, quickly!" Eugene helped them in, and cut their bonds. Then, Bunny gave the Queen a boomerang while North gave the King a sword. "We have to make sure Jack can save Rapunzel! Cut down as many Nightmares as you can!" North got the sleigh moving again, giving everyone on board a chance at hitting Nightmares. He then glanced down at the scene below, Jack was closer to Rapunzel, but Pitch wasn't too far behind. Jack was starting to panic, Rapunzel was getting too close to the rocks. He was just a few feet away from her, and she a few feet away from the bottom. That's when he reached out, and caught her in the nook of his staff. He brought her close, and held her tight. A good thing too, as Pitch blasted him from behind. Jack managed to keep the two of them from ramming into the cliff face, but that gave him little time to counteract Pitch's next attack. He quickly threw a burst of cold air in front of himself and Rapunzel, just barely stopping the attack. When the dust cleared, Jack found himself surrounded by Nightmares, with Pitch facing him.
"Well, Jack Frost, it looks like this is the end for you and your little princess. And if I don't kill you, then you'll kill each other. She can't handle the cold anymore than you can handle the heat," Pitch sneered.
Rapunzel turned to face the Nightmare King, "I don't care, Jack will protect me and my family, and that's all I'm worried about."
"And I would rather feel pain and death all over again than have anyone harm them," came Jack's response through gritted teeth.
"Well, I can grant Jack's wish, and prove you wrong Rapunzel. Shall we being?" grinned Pitch.

"No!" came a chorus of voices. Jack, Rapunzel, and Pitch looked up. Sandy and Tooth came rushing down, followed by the sleigh.
"Rapunzel, you must use your powers, it's the only way to defeat him!" North shouted.
"But I don't know how to get them to work! Ah!" Rapunzel screamed, as Jack dodged Nightmares
"Yes you do! The rhyme!" her mother responded.
"But that's for healing!"
"Rapunzel, Pitch is more afraid of light than anything else, and your hair glows when you say the rhyme!" her father said.
Rapunzel glanced at Jack, "Well, it's worth a try."
Jack nodded, "Then try it."
"Flower gleam and glow,
Let your power shine,
Make the clock reverse,

Bring back what once was mine.
Heal what has been hurt,
Change the fates' design
Save what has been lost,

Bring back what once was mine,

What once was mine." Rapunzel's hair began glowing, and destroyed whatever Nightmares touched it. However, once she finished the song, it didn't stay bright for very long, giving the Nightmares an advantage.
"Oh man, now what do we do?" asked Jack, as he dodged and blasted Nightmare after Nightmare.
"I'll just keep singing it!" replied Rapunzel. "It's the only way! Unless . . ."
"Unless what?"
"Jack, I need you to keep them off of me for a few minutes," Rapunzel pleaded.
"What are you going to do?" Jack asked, as he brought her back to the cliff, the sleigh unreachable at the moment.
"Think of a new rhyme," she replied with determination. Jack looked at her for a little while, then nodded and floated around her, fending off the Nightmares as they approached.
Rapunzel turned to thinking quickly, she had little time. Jack was really good at defeating Nightmares, but they would overrun him soon enough, especially once Pitch finally figured out where she was. North held his attention at the moment, but she knew that wouldn't last for long. She thought as hard as she could, as long as she could, she was running out of time fast and unable to think of anything. She glanced at Jack to see how he was doing, and remembered how she felt in his arms. Sure, she was cold, but she knew she was safe, she was fine. Her eyes widened. "That's it!" Then she heard Jack yell, she glanced up in time to see him fall. Pitch had broken from his battle with North and took him by surprise. "No, Jack!" she screamed. Pitch turned to look at her with his evil, hate-filled eyes and rushed at her. She knew that she had to do then to save everyone, including herself.
"Flower, gleam and glow;
Let your power shine,
Chase the fears away
Let them know they're fine,
We all are fine."

Her hair began glowing like it did before, but this time, it got brighter and brighter, until it was so bright that everyone had to close their eyes.
