Well I'm back, thanks for the (Many) Reviews, one bit people seemed a little confused about was the seeing Jack by force, which was there as a test by the Guardians to check whether they could trust Jamie to keep Jack safe.
Anyways on with the chapter, Now its time for a rematch: Jack V. Pitch.
Chapter Seven: Pain in the Pitch.
Jamie smiled as he arrived in the field, seeing the large Christmas tree, a small amount of snow on its branches making it look all the more festive, as well as the ground being white it made the whole thing far more interesting and festive.
Jamie looked to his side, where Jack stood, Jack seemed interested in the surroundings, but when Jamie saw Jack's face there was a frown upon his face,
"What's up Jack?" Jamie asked,
"I thought I sensed someone watching us" Jack replied, to a normal person that would mean nothing, but to an immortal with only two people that could see them, it was understandably worrying.
"Maybe one of the Guardians?" Sophie asked from Jamie's other side,
"Maybe, but it doesn't feel like them" Jack replied frowning, and clutching his staff closer
"Pitch?" Jamie asked,
"More Likely" Jack replied, "Glad I brought my staff now"
"So am I" Jamie replied, imagining Pitch appearing with a staff-less Jack by his side.
Then a loud voice interrupted them, "Greeting's Ladies, Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, welcome to Burgess 3rd annual Christmas tree lighting!"
A Loud cheer rang up and Jamie was surprised to see Jack wince at the noise, clearly loud places were not his thing.
"Now then to light the lights please welcome the founder of this tradition, Mr Alexander Bennett!" The Shouter called, Jamie and Sophie just groaned,
"Its an honour for me to switch on the lights again this year, and I hope Next year my son and daughter will have come to their senses and returned home" Mr. Bennett called out,
"Fat chance" Jamie, Sophie and Jack said at once.
"Now, The Count down!" Mr. Bennett called,
"3" The crowd shouted,
"2" Louder than the first
"1" Loudest of all and then the lights flicked on, then Jamie heard it, Galloping.
"Nightmares" Jamie whispered to Jack who nodded,
"Remain calm, remember you have the Prince of Winter on your side" Jack replied,
"Who's the king?" Jamie asked,
"Me, I'm just too young to be called the King of Winter yet" Jack replied smiling and Jamie laughed,
"Your Three Hundred Years old, how much longer do you need?" Jamie asked
"About another Seven Hundred" Jack replied, the Everyone saw it, the wave of Nightmares, "This is where the fun begins."
Jamie and Sophie smiled as the saw the army of Fearling surround them, Jack having disappeared into the crowd, pretending he wasn't there, every head turned to face the Fearling and several of Jamie and Sophie's old friends started having breakdowns, not believing what was happening, then the lead Fearling moved forward and Pitch stood there smiling down at the two teens, that were surrounded.
"Well, well, well. Jamie Bennett, we meet again" Pitch smiled,
"Pitch Black" Jamie replied, "I think you should be leaving before the Guardians arrive"
"The Guardians?" Pitch smiled, "They stand no chance against me, now then why don't you come with me?"
"I'd rather jump in a swamp" Jamie replied, Sophie giggling as she watched Pitch's face.
"If you don't come with me now, I'll Kill that sister of yours!" Pitch called, reaching for Sophie.
"No!" Jamie called, "You know what? I'm Sophie's Brother and Guest what, we have a Guardian, his Names JACK FROST!" Jamie called, and suddenly half the Fearling froze solid and lighting dropped on several others, Then Jack walked out of the crowd to stand before Pitch, A look of un-rivalled anger on his face.
"Impossible!" Pitch called, drawing forth more nightmare energy.
"Oh, it's quiet possible Pitch, you see I never left" Jack replied smiling drawing some Ice energy to himself ready to block the strike that never came,
"Frost, You will die now, then I'll deal with those children!" Pitch threw all the dark sand he possessed at Jack and Jack froze it all with a wave of his staff, as if it were nothing but water.
"Well you don't seem to be doing a very good job of killing me" Jack replied, smiling again.
Pitch sneered and a shadow Jack walked out of the remaining ranks of Nightmares, "Now you face something with all your powers and all your Strengths!"
The shadow Jack sent a bolt of Black ice straight at Jack who dodged thanks to a well placed snowball,
"Jamie, go get the Guardians" Jack told Jamie while blocking more attacks, Jack knew the guardians could see (On the Globe) The strange amount of lights in Burgess, so hopefully they'd all ready be waiting…. Wait Pitch could get at Jamie and Sophie while they ran!
Jack jumped into the air and watched as Pitch tried to close in, only to be stopped by a wall of pure ice. Jamie looked up to see Jack still fighting the Shadow version of himself, however Jack seemed to have a major advantage, Experience.
Then Jamie saw it, a flash of light, the sleigh at Night, the Guardians had arrived, Jamie looked high into the sky and saw the moon shining down on them, watching the Battle for Burgess play out.
Pitch Frowned, Frost was alive and already had gotten over the session? Maybe Jack Frost was stronger than he thought possible. No, it was just an act, Jack was still terrified inside but didn't want to show it. Yes that must be it.
Pitch looked to the sky and saw the Guardian's arrive, "Blasted Guardian" Pitch was turned around and there stood Sandy, arms folded, "Ah Sandy…" He never got to finish that sentences and Sandy's golden whips of dream sand grabbed his legs and started slamming him into the ground, and into buildings leaving him completely defeated, Sandy threw Pitch up into the air, and then pulled down, leaving Pitch in a dreamless sleep.
Sandy rushed off, Nightmares had started to surround Burgess in greater numbers, the town's fear drawing them closer, then Sandy looked up seeing Jack battling both Shadow versions of himself, Sandy decided to provide some help.
As Sandy rose to help Jack, the Guardian's battled with the Fearling below and Jamie, Sophie and the entire population of Burgess stood watching as the Fearling's vanished, several times a Fearling would charge at the humans, who would scream and Jack would appear in front of them, blasting the Fear to pieces, then he'd fly back to the battle in the sky.
After an hour, the Fearling's started to lessen, the army seemed to have been defeated.
Until the Shadow Guardian's arrived….
AND CLIFF-HANGER!
Will the Guardians win? Will Jamie avoid Pitch's wraith and Manly Parts? And will Sophie ever Catch Bunny? Find out next Chapter…
