Welcome to the 6th chapter of The Ultimate Ultimatum!

Just to let you know, I will be writing up my uploading schedule with the summaries for each story at the end of this chapter. The uploading order is also on my profile!

Read, Review and Enjoy.

There was a large thud and Pitch fell to the ground. "Wha..You!" Jack looked in the same direction as Pitch and let happiness flood his heart when he saw Aster ready to kick Pitch again. North and Sandy managed to catch up a moment later. Jack watched the three furious Guardians easily send Pitch back to his 'hole'.

"G..Guys? Your...you escaped! You're alright!"

Sandy made bunch of different symbols, flashing them so fast, no one could read them. North was busy tending to Tooth but shouted that they were perfectly fine. Bunny never wasted words and scooped Jack up into a hug. Jack forgot about the pain and let tears fall as he lavished in the familial warmth given by the hug. Aster rubbed Jack's back in a soothing manner.

Jack had never been so happy. Bunny kept rubbing his back soothingly. "It's alrigh'."

For a moment, Jack felt all the stress and weight from the Guardians' absence disappear.

"Ow!" Jack felt Bunnymund's claws cut through his hoodie and scratch his back. But Bunny didn't take any notice. In fact, he purposely continued digging his claws into his back. "Bunny! Stop!" Shouted Jack, trying to pull away. "Lemme go!" He pushed at Aster's chest and was surprised when he fell to the ground and was surrounded by all 4 Guardians. "Guys?"

"Do you honestly think we're happy to see you?" Snarled Tooth, something she rarely did.

"Wha-!"

"Hah!" Exclaimed Bunny. "He's more of a fool than I thought if that's true!"

North drew a sword and gently ran his fingers along the edge, causing a thin line of crimson liquid to drip to the ground. "You did not try to help us Jack. You left us at Pitch's mercy. So why should we show you any?"

Jack was sobbing at the harsh words from their mouths. "I'm sorry! I tried! I couldn't find you! I was just trying to do what I thought was best!"

Sandy had a scary expression on his face as he punched his hand angrily.

"Hello there, you four!" North couldn't help but groan quietly. Was he back to attack them already!? He looked to see if anyone was facing any of their usual symptoms. But all were awake and as well as they could be, except for Bunny who was in a feverish sleep. "I see the rabbit is still asleep." Stated Pitch with a frown, as he materialised in front of them. "It's a shame, really. I'm sure he would of loved to see the surprise I brought you all."

"What have you done this time!?" Shouted North.

He was quickly shushed by Tooth, who indicated Bunny stirring in his sleep. The look she was giving him, clearly transferred her message. 'It's been ages since he last rested. Now that he's asleep, I would like to keep him like this for a while.'

"If you're this eager to see it, them I might have to wait. Keep you all in the agonising suspense. Wondering," He said that with a smug smile at North. "'What on Earth has Pitch done this time!?' It would be fantastic, tasting the fear that would pour of off you lot as you concoct more and more terrifying ideas."

"Pitch.." Said Tooth in a low voice. "Stop with the games and tell us."

His smile only seemed to broaden at that. "Why, my dear Toothiana, should I tell you, when I could show you?"

He thrust out his hand and they watched in horror as the shadows and fear that danced in his palm, transformed into nothing other then Jack Frost's staff.

"What did ya do ta Frostbite!?" Tooth, Sandy, North and Pitch looked down to see Bunny lifting his head from Tooth's lap.

"I thought you were sleeping." Said Tooth, voicing everyone else's confusion.

The Warrior stood as best as he could with the restraints on his ankles. "Why.." He said with a shaking voice. "..would I sleep being held captive by this monster!? Now tell us what you have done with Jack!"

The restraints on his ankle and they were replaced with restraints on his wrists, which moved him back against the wall, where he had been before. Only then did Pitch come forward.

"I think I'd prefer to keep you in the dark." He said, tapping Bunnymund's cheek. The animal in Aster took over and he bit the Boogeyman.

"AHHH!" Pitch shouted in pain. "You'll regret that rabbit."

"Doubt it!" Said Bunny, channeling his inner brat.

North piped up. "At least tell us how you got it."

"If you insist. He was climbing a mountain on his way here but he was attacked by my nightmare and I think you can guess the rest. He's out of commission for the time being." Pitch ran his hand over the wood that had lost its glow since being seperated from Jack. "But don't think he'll be able to help you. At least, not without a price." A cackling Pitch left with the staff.

Sandy looked at the others, not being able to communicate without his Dreamsand. He knew what they were thinking.

They were happy Jack could save them, but would it be worth that price Pitch would make him pay?
