WARNING: Character death and Blood ahead
...
When the guardians arrived, there was shards of ice everywhere. Pitch was gone and Jack looked weak.
"What happened here, Jack?" North asked as he got closer with his sword. Izzy was beside him, with his other sword in her hand.
Jamie and Sophie looked up as well as Emma and they went to run to the guardians but Pitch grabbed Sophie's leg. Emma ushered Jamie to keep running and she grabbed Sophie in order to get her away from Pitch, "Leave her alone!" That's when the few guardians went to help, but were stopped by more nightmares. Emma eventually got Sophie from Pitch and told her to run.
"Go to the guardians Sophie!" Then things started to turn black, but it wasn't her vision. Pitch had formed a black sand hand and began to suffocate Emma.
"Emma!" Izzy turned around to see her friend being suffocated by Pitch.
"Sandy do something!" Martha yelled as she kicked a nightmare.
Sandy flew over as Pitch opened another soda to drink. Seeing the smaller man fly towards him, Pitch paused and threw black sand at him. Sandy did the same and the two different sand types hit each other in the middle. Sandy flew closer with determination that he was gonna beat Pitch in this. When he finally did, it was too late.
Pitch was blown back and Emma too. When Izzy and Martha got the chance, they ran over to Emma and gasped.
"Oh no..."
"E-Emma...?"
Emma had died being suffocated by Pitch. This was the first time in centuries Pitch had ever killed a child, especially one who believed in the guardians.
All the guardians were baffled and heart broken. Pitch got back up and gave a dark grin then disappeared into the shadows.
Jack gasped as well, but the guardians couldn't stop fighting with all these nightmares; and so, the continued, hoping they would go away. One questioned remained however: How was Pitch getting all this power to do this?
This was the key to stopping Pitch. Knowing what was fueling his energy was what the guardians needed to know.
Izzy ran over to Pitch, when he reappeared behind one of the guardians, slicing each nightmare that got in her way. She round house kicked him and he leaned back from it. Then she jumped up and used the sword over head to slice down Pitch. His black sand formed a shield and it blocked her attack. Coming from behind was Martha who slid her leg under Pitch's legs to knock him down.
Once on the ground, Izzy put the sword to his throat, "Any last words?" She spat.
Pitch put his hands up as a sign of surrender. All the nightmares the guardians were fighting disappeared, "Behind you."
...
Tooth rammed through the nightmares that got close to the guardians who didn't see them as they fought the ones in front of them. Bunny kept looking from the nightmares he was fighting to Martha and Izzy. Jack went to Jamie and Sophie.
"Jack? Whats happening? I thought Pitch was long gone?" Jamie asked him as he held hid little sister close.
"We though so too... We don't know where he's getting his power from," Jack told Jamie, "But right now you and Sohpie need to get somewhere safe." The winter spirit looked up and saw a nightmare about to attack Izzy, "WATCH OUT!" He then shot an ice shard at the nightmare.
THe nightmare disappeared and the shard shot right through Izzy's chest.
"NOOOO!" Jack yelled as he flew to Izzy. She fell and turned the white snow red like strawberries in the summer time. She died instantly with her eyes opened. Pith laughed evilly and got up. Though he forgot Martha was still behind him. She was fighting off a nightmare until it disappeared. Turning around, she noticed her friend lay dead in the snow and she gasped.
Martha looked up at Pitch who stood over Izzy's dead body with a twisted expression. "AaaaAAAAHHHHHH!" Martha yelled a battle cry, picked up a big stick and ran to Pitch, ready to knock him off his high horse.
Hearing her, Pitch turned and threw a black sand spear at her. Martha didn't have time to dodge, and it went through her stomach. She stopped where she was, which wasn't far from Pitch and looked down. Martha dropped the stick she was holding and took hold of the spear.
All the guardians watched with teary eyes and pain in their hearts. How could they let this happen
Martha began taking the spear out of her and once it was out, blood began spilling form her mid section. But that didn't stop her because she threw the spear at Pitch and it went through his robe. Unfortunately, it didn't go through him, but it did catch the hidden pack of soda. The spear made all the cans he had burst and spew open.
"NOOO! NOT MY SODA!" Pitch screamed and fell to his knees the same time Martha did. Martha fell to her back with one hand on her mid section to keep from bleeding out, but it didn't help. Pitch hissed and fled back into his home. Turns out the soda was the fuel for his nightmares and power.
When he disappeared, the girls bodies disappeared as well.
Jamie watched from afar and gasped, "Jack... What happened? Where they'd go?"
That was a question he didn't know the answer to. None of the guardians did.
Luckily, Pitch was stopped but they would hardly call this fight a success. They lost three girls to this fight. Mortal girls. If they were spirits it would be different. Spirits are immortal and the worst that would happen in a devastating injury, not death.
Jack looked to North and North looked down not knowing the answer either.
Bunny stared down at the last place he saw Martha, "What now...?" He asked with his ears down and his arms crossed over one another.
North picked up his other sword, the one Izzy had, "Now we go home... We cant do anything... Pitch is defeated."
With heavy hearts, they went to the North Pole and decided they'd have a memorial for the three girls. Jack took Jamie and Sophie home and wasn't too far behind the guardians.
...
Bunny got a basket of purple flowers and let them float in his ponds.
Jack made it snow at Izzy's home and built snowmen for Izzy.
Tooth did the same as Bunny but for Emma. She even tied a pink ribbon, Emma's favorite color, on the tree next to her ponds.
Sandy tried giving good dreams to their families and North Put up Ribbons with the three girls names on their guest rooms he had for them.
