Chapter 9: A Beautiful Nightmare (part one)
Devion stared at the black cloud forming above everything, then a sound of breaking glass, then a scream.
"Who's that?" Tooth frightfully said, her wings flapping rapidly. North unsheathed his swords, Bunny drew his boomerangs, Sandy formed a sand ball, Jack gripped firmly on his staff, Rainielle did the same with her umbrella. The cupids took their bows and arrows and readied for attacking. Wait, where's Rapunzel?!
An evil laugh echoed across the room. Then Pitch's shadow appeared on the walls.
"Pitch! Stop being a coward and face us!" Jack yelled, his eyes following the shadow's direction.
The shadow disappeared and reappeared on a wall as a tall man holding a chained girl on his hand. "Guardians... you.. have something very important with you for the past days and you didn't even bother protecting them for the world's sake," the shadow disappeared.
The shadow reappeared near the stairs, "Maybe there's a reason why you didn't protect them,"
"Maybe you still don't trust the daughter of the Nightmare King? Or perhaps Jackie don't want another kiss from the daughter of the sun?" Pitch's voice said. The shadow gliding across the walls.
The guardians suspiciously looked at Jack while Valentine gasped. Jack threw a blade of ice to the shadow.
"What did you do to Rapunzel?!" Jack kept attacking the quick-moving shadow with frost. Rainielle's protuberant grey eyes widen, seeing her beautiful brick walls getting slashed by blades of ice and frost.
"Oh, don't worry, I didn't do anything to her.. yet.."
"Where's Devion?!" North yelled.
"Devion?! Devion?! Do you think I would let her stay on your side? She's still my daughter," and with that Pitch's shadow disappeared.
Pitch's Lair (under Venice, Italy)
Pitch dragged Devion to a corner, holding her by her chain bracelets that seem to expand by his and Devion's will.
Devion remained unconsciously asleep. Pitch tucked her to a bed but locked her chains against the wall.
Devion suddenly opened her eyes, like waking up from a horrible nightmare.
"Dad?! Wh-what are you doing?!" Devion sat up, seeing her father chaining Rapunzel against the wall.
"Claiming back what's mine and putting a Guardian's love-one on hostage, why?" Pitch crossed his arms.
"Chains.. my old enemy and also a weapon," Devion muttered, smirking.
"Devion.. my little one... how could you betray your own father?" Pitch slowly said.
"I wouldn't call it betray.. I'm doing the right thing, like Seraphina would do if she was on my place," Devion muttered.
"DO NOT INCLUDE SERAPHINA!... you both have something in common, that leaves a sour taste on my mouth, bleh," Pitch roared.
"Who both?" Devion looked at Pitch with angry at the same time scared eyes.
"Your mother and you.. did your 'mother' ever tell you the story of how we met?" Pitch smirked.
"No, not really," Devion sighed.
Pitch furrowed his eyebrows and sighed... "Good,"
Then he disappeared taking Rapunzel and Devion with him.
The guardians (and the others) went to Burgess and walked around the small town.
Suddenly Pitch appeared with a cloaked Devion behind him and an unconscious chained Rapunzel on his hand.
"Pitch," the guardians glared.
"Good your all huddled," Pitch laughed evilly, "Here you can have your 'Sunshine' back," Pitch threw Rapunzel to the Guardians direction.
Jack caught the blonde and checked her pulse.
"What did you do to her?" Jack glared at the tall dark man.
"Nothing but I'm sure Devion would know," Pitch motioned to Devion.
All attention turned to the bright (literally) girl.
"Uh, it's.. it's a solar eclipse.. and... Rapunzel would lose almost all of her energy without... the.. sun," Devion said.
Jack's eyes widen.
"Take this you empty hearted man!" Valentine withdrew an arrow while she flipped and floated, her wavy blonde hair bouncing with every movement.
Pitch easily dodged the arrow then he ordered a Nightmare to chase the female cupid.
"Sweet darlings," Valentine muttered then she went flying away, her small white wings flapping rapidly like Tooth's. Luke glared at Pitch then looked at the Nightmare who was chasing his screaming sister.
"Val! Hold on!" Luke aimed at the Nightmare, trying to avoid shooting his sister.
"Hold on to what!? Get away you little Nightmare!" Valentine kept flapping her wings, some feathers falling from her wings.
While a nightmare chased the cupid, the guardians are sparing combats with Pitch. Jack was just holding Rapunzel in his arms. Rainielle was protecting them, making sure no Nightmare would touch Rapunzel.
"Keep your earz covered, I'll be sending lightning and thunder," Rainielle said, pointing the tip of her umbrella to the Nightmares.
Sandy threw a sand whip at Pitch while Bunny threw his boomerang.
Pitch easily dodged and smirked while aiming an arrow of black sand somewhere.
Tooth took one of North's sword and threw it like a pro. (go,tooth! girl power! do it like a dude!)
Pitch dodged and fired the arrow.
The guardians' attention turned to the flying arrow. (slow motion)

A/N: Who got hit by the arrow? Oh dear, I can't believe I'm "killing" a beloved character... (temporarily killing, not dead)
