On with the chapter we go!

Jack fired beams of ice from his staff at nearby nightmares, freezing them solid and then hitting them hard so they smashed into tiny grains of sand. Tooth spun around like a spinning top so her wings sliced through each nightmare she hit. North yelled out in excitement as he jumped up at the front of the sleigh and pulled out his swords, then slicing away at the nightmares as if they were nothing. Sandy was flying through the air on his aeroplane but what surprised everyone was that he had blasters on them and was shooting down the nightmares.

Starling had her staff in hand and huge grin on her face. She leapt off her ride and landed on the back of a nightmare and sliced her staff through it and destroyed it as she then leapt to the next one, grabbing its hoof and swinging up into a somersault as she sliced through that one too as she then landed on the back of the last one.

The nightmare didn't know what was happening as Starling stabbed it, resulting in it crumbling as she then jumped off and landed on the bow of her ride that had steered itself under her. "Bulls-eye" she said with a smirk.

Jack came up beside her and he was well impressed from what he just saw. "Nice moves Star!" he commented. Starling looked surprised but pleased at that nickname.

"Thanks Jack. Better watch your back" she answered him.

Jack turned to see two nightmares come towards him and he almost yelled out in shock. He quickly swung his staff so ice shot out of it, freezing the nightmares. Pretty soon, all the nightmares had been cleared so the Guardians and Starling all huddled up. "Great work everyone!" North said.

Starling raised an eyebrow. "I don't know… I'm going to go and look around. I'll be back in a minute" she said, then revving her engine so she sped off and disappeared as she flew behind a building. Bunny stared after her.

"Gotta admit, she's a good fighter and has good spirit!" he said.

"Which is why she will be on my side and not yours" a voice said loudly. The Guardians all looked around to see nothing but shadows jumping on the walls around them.

"Where are you Pitch?" Jack snapped.

"Right here" Pitch said, literally from behind him. Jack spun around and shot a beam of ice from his staff but there was actually no one behind him.

"Alright ya rat bag, come on out so I can hit ya" Bunny said with a snarl.

"No way, I'm hitting him first!" Jack said, wanting to get him back for the scar he had given him earlier on today.

"None of you will be hitting me at all as I have created new and improved nightmares, made to crush your hope, joy, dreams and fun" Pitch snarled from above. The Guardians turned to see Pitch up on a building, right in front of them but he was too high up to reach.

"New and improved? Oh, because that worked so well last time" Jack said sarcastically, causing Tooth to snicker at the comment.

"Shut it Frost! I've gone to measures far greater than you know to perfect these nightmares. Even using black magic to do so" Pitch said.

"Black magic? Pitch, you have no idea what you're dealing with" Bunny warned him, being an expert in the arts of magic.

"No rabbit, you don't know what you're dealing with" Pitch snapped back.

"So what now, can we just kick your ass already?" Jack asked, rolling his eyes and Tooth nearly scolded him for language if the situation wasn't so serious.

"Ah, you are all so eager to stop me aren't you? Too bad you weren't so eager to protect your sanctuaries" Pitch said with a sigh and everyone, minus Jack and Sandy, perked up at that.

"What do you mean?" Bunny asked angrily.

"With you out here, my nightmares have now taken control of your palace, Warren and Pole, so now you have nowhere to go, nowhere to hide! I now have you in my…" Pitch started but his sentence was halted when something whacked his chest hard and he was thrust back, where he landed on the ground while crashing into a car and then a pile of bins.

Jack looked up to where Pitch just stood to see Starling standing there, dusting off her shoulder. "Yeah, he talks too much but really? He tries to scare people wearing that outfit? Why not dye his hair pink while he's at it?" Star said with an eye roll.

Jack laughed at that comment as he watched her come down to their level. "Yeah, that's been a mystery to me" he commented.

"Oh great, he's snuck away again" Bunny shouted, looking down at where he fell. Everyone looked over the edge of the building to see that Bunny was right. Pitch was gone and all that remained was a few overturned bins.

"Now what?" Star asked, leaning on her staff.

"Well, we can't go back to the Pole that's for sure" Jack said.

"What?! Don't be ridiculous!" North bellowed.

"He's got a point. We've been out here for a fair while and even if we do go back, your homes will be swamped with nightmares" Star pointed out.

Tooth's wings drooped as she knew that the kids were right. She could even feel her fairies fear as they were raided but their little squeaks told her to stay away. It was the same with North and his helpers and Bunny with his stone eggs.

"Well this is just great! We're all defenceless, we've got nowhere to go and Pitch is raiding everywhere!" Bunny yelled.

"What about Sandy's dreams?" Tooth said but Sandy signed a few things and North sighed.

"Sandy says he can only send out a few. The nightmares would be patrolling the sky and I don't want a repeat of last time" North said with a shudder at the last part.

No one said anything for a moment until Jack spoke. "Wait a minute. Star where do you live?" Jack asked, turning to the teenage girl next to him. She looked at him with an eyebrow raised.

"Why do you ask?" she questioned.

"I can see where Jack's going with this so answer the bloody question" Bunny demanded.

"Oh yeah, I'll be that stupid and say where I live when Pitch could be around here" she said, tapping her foot. Bunny grumbled something at that comment and even though Star didn't hear what it was, she decided that it was an insult.

"So can we stay at your place wherever it is?" North asked.

Star considered this. "Mmmm…I guess I can let you stay" she said although she didn't look too pleased about it. Tooth then had an idea.

"If you let us stay, then I can give you your tooth canister of memories!" she offered. Starling shot her a death glare at that.

"Thanks for that offer but I already have it" she said and Tooth looked shocked.

"You stole it from my palace?! But how didn't my fairies catch you? How haven't I found that out? It would have bothered me so much" Tooth asked curiously and crossly.

"Who would be bothered by the stolen memories of a girl that has no purpose?" Star asked, sending a wave of guilt of Bunny. "Let's go. The nightmares took our vehicles so we're travelling my way" Star said.

"My sleigh?!" North shouted, looking around for it but it had indeed been taken.

"Yeah, was gonna tell you that when I came back around but then I kicked Pitch" Star said, pulling out a six black cupcakes from the netting of her tutu and tossed five to each of the guardians. "Eat it" she ordered as she bit into hers.

Jack bit into his first and found the taste of liquorice in his mouth. Tooth didn't want to eat hers at all until Star gave her another one of her death looks. "Now what?" Bunny asked, not liking the taste of the cupcake.

He was soon answered when his body was covered in a blue light, as did everyone else's. All but Starling, let out a startled cry as they rose of the floor and then disappeared in a shroud of blue mist, to Star's lair.

Well I hope that pleased all of you as I finally managed to write it! I will get along with other stories as I plan to introduce some brand new ones (hopefully) so I would like eleven reviews for more chapters, inspiration and cupcakes.

Bye for now!
