Sandy's Death:
The girl's hug was interrupted by the sound of North squeezing in through the window. "Here you are!" He groaned as he finally got into the room. Sandy and Marcus came in quite worn out from having to push him in.
Tooth and Jenna went "Ssh!"
Tooth pointed at Jamie whilst Jenna said, "Guys, be quiet. He's sleeping,"
North immediately went to whispering, "Oh! What gives, slowpokes? How you feeling, Toothy?"
"Believed in,"
"Hah! That's what I want to hear,"
"Thank you so much for agreeing to help us," Marcus gratefully said to Jenna.
"It was nothing really," Jenna whispered back. "Please thank Snowmoon as well,"
"Oh of course," Marcus turned to Snowmoon's out the window. "Thank you as well as Snowmoon,"
"IT was nothing at all," Snowmoon assured. "Thank you everyone for not giving up on us,"
Bunny lastly came out of a hole he magically made in the floor "Oh, I see how it is. All working together to make sure the rabbit gets last place," he grumbled getting out.
"Ssh!" everyone else except Sandy shushed loudly at Bunny.
Jenna smirks right in Bunny's face as she pulls out her bag. "Check it out, Peter Cottontail! This is how much teeth you get when you have a dragon who's as fast as he flies,"
Snowmoon eyed playfully but prideful at Bunny.
Bunny snorted in laughter. "You call that a bag'a choppers? He pulls out a large bag. "Now that's a bag'a choppers,"
North cutter into their argument. "Guys, this is about Tooth, it's not a competition - but if it was, I win! YEE-HA!" he danced around in triumph.
Marcus placed his hand over his mouth. "Shh!"
A light suddenly clicked on and shone its beams in their faces.
North eyes widened and his body was as still as a statue. "Oh no,"
"Now, you've done it," Marcus criticized.
Jamie gasps. "Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, Sandman, the Wish Man, the Tooth Fairy! I knew you'd come!"
"Surprise! We came!" Tooth chuckled
Jenna asked. "He can see us?"
"Most of us," Bunny corrected.
Jamie tries to shine the light where Bunny is looking, but it doesn't illuminate on Jenna.
Jenna sighed quietly. Marcus noticed and held a sorry face for her. He placed a hand on her shoulder giving her an encouraging smile to not give up on who she is.
"Ssh, you guys! He's still awake!" Tooth reminded.
"Sandy, knock 'im out!" Bunny ordered.
Sandy nodded and pounded his fists together.
Jamie looked confused.
"With the dream sand, ya' silly man!" Marcus explained exasperated.
A greyhound dog suddenly woke up and growled at Bunny showing sharping, sheering yet shiny teeth.
"No stop, that's the Easter Bunny!" Jamie gasped as he tried to calm his dog down "What're you doing, Abby? Down!"
"Alright, nobody panic," Bunny tried to calm down the situation but deep inside he was actually scared.
"But that's a, uhm, that's a greyhound. Do you know what greyhounds do to rabbits?" Jenna asked smiling.
Bunny replied saying "Well I think it's a pretty safe bet he's never met a rabbit like me.
During his long reply, Marcus nodded at Sandy facially telling him what he had to do. Sandy forms at sand ball to throw at the dog.
"Six-foot-one, nerves of steel, Master of Tai Chi, and-"
Jenna 'accidently' hits Jamie's alarm clock with his staff making it ring so loudly making Abby startle.
Bunny instantly became scared, "Crikee! Ahh!" He took off, bouncing around the room with Abby closely trailing behind him.
"Stop! Wait! Slow down!" Jamie shouted at his dog but Abby wouldn't listen.
Bunny still running knocked Sandy off-balance, then laughs nervously. "Woah ho ho! Sand-"
North shouted "Sandy!" whist Abby and Bunny run past him.
Sandman launches the ball, but due to Abby pouncing on him, it went off course and hit Tooth and then Baby Tooth. They instantly fell to the floor with sand teeth forming above their heads.
Bunny screamed out "This thing's rabid! Get this dingo off me!" The ball hit Bunny, who fell and started dreaming about carrots.
Then Abby who started dreaming about bones.
And lastly North.
"Candy canes..." he drifted to sleep but fell onto Jamie's bed. During his large body, Jamie was sent flying into Sandy's arms. He jerked his head forward to make Dreamsand from his hair blow into Jamie's face. He instantly fell asleep.
"Whoops," Jenna awkwardly said as Marcus glared at her only to start chuckling with her along with Snowmoon.
The Dreamsand carrots above Bunny's head start placing around the Dreamsand candy canes.
"Oh I really wish I had a camera right now," Jenna wished. Sandy gives her a sidelong glance.
Snowmoon had enjoyed watching from outside. His ears twitched the sound of neighing. He turned round and saw nightmares on roofs. He roared and they took off.
Jenna heard his roar and ran to the window. "Snowmoon, what is it?"
"Nightmares, I just saw them. They took off,"
"Let's go after them," Jenna hopped on in his neck. "Guys, come on," she called to Marcus and Sandy. "We can find Pitch," Snowmoon took off in pursuit of the Nightmares.
Sandy and Marcus stayed for a bit not wanting to leave their friends but they decided to go after Jenna and Snowmoon.
They went chasing after the Nightmares, Jenna was shouting excitedly. "Yes! Whoo-hoo-hoo! Whoo!"
Sandman mounts one of the nightmares and he rode it through a building before he transformed it back into his own Dream-sand, as a Manta-ray with just a touch of his hand.
Marcus kept bounding after another few jogging high and agile across roofs. Just when he got close enough, he blasted all of them to pieces with his magic. "That felt good," he complimented to himself.
Jenna and Snowmoon were trailing behind two of them when they split up. Jenna hopped off Snowmoon.
She chased one as she sprinted and jumped across roofs while Snowmoon flew faster to catch another one. He would come back to his rider once he'd caught his nightmare.
Jenna finally got close enough to a nightmare on a roof. She sent an ice blast from her staff and she froze it to a rooftop from the alley below. "I got it!" she jumps onto the roof and saw it was frozen to the floor "Marcus! Snowmoon! Sandy! Did you guys see that? Hehehe! Look at this thing!"
"Hello daughter," a voice spooked her.
She turned and saw Pitch standing there smiling down at her.
She attempted to attack him but he grabbed the top of her staff. "Is this how you treat your father?"
"You're not my father!" she shouted. She pulled her staff out of his grasp and swung it him with an ice blast again.
He was still dodging; when she had the chance she stabbed him with her staff in the chest making ice spread over it until he was frozen. He fell the ground dying.
"Why?" he breathed out as he saw his daughter's still and sterilized peering at him.
Jenna's eyes started tearing up like mad and she dropped her staff. She crouched down and started sobbing.
"I knew you cared," the same voice again shocked her after a while.
Jenna's eyes opened to see Pitch's dead body disappeared and out of the shadows appeared the real one.
"I knew you could never forget about your love for me all these years," he gloated.
Jen just tried to blast him with ice but he vanished. "Don't try, Jen. You can't deny what you feel for me," he appeared in her sight on a level higher than Jenna's. "You know, for a neutral party, you spend an awful lot of time with those weirdoes. This isn't your fight, Jen,"
"You made it my fight when you stole those teeth and harmed my friends!" Jenna retorted pointing her staff tip at him.
"Teeth? Why do you care about the teeth?" Pitch asked not getting her reason.
"You stay away from her, you bitch!"
Pitch turned to see Marcus and Snowmoon glaring down at him darkly from a roof nearby.
"Take one step closer to her and I'll eat you," Snowmoon threatened as he landed beside Jenna and circled his body around her to protect her.
"You dumb dragon how dare you separate a father from his daughter?"
"You call yourself a father?!" Marcus asked angrily coming to stand by Snowmoon and Jenna. "You lied to her all her life! You made her believe that she could trust you!"
"And the worst part is you never wanted her to know who you truly were!" Snowmoon ended.
"Well, don't think I can forget what you did to me, Snowmoon!" Pitch threatened. "I shall avenge for what you did to me!" he showed the unfading scar.
"Oh, you should thank me, it appears to be an improvement," Snowmoon complimented.
Pitch notices Sandman standing near him, looking cross, and jumps away with a start. He gave out a nervous laugh that only made Sandy glare harder and darker. "Now this is who I'm looking for,"
Sandman unleashed whips of Dreamsand and attempted to attack Pitch; he dodged the whips and unleashed his weapon: a giant scythe of Nightmare Sand. Sandman however was able to dodge it and in the nick of time before a second blow, his right hand whip caught Pitch's right wrist. He made Pitch hit against walls and jerk about in the air before throwing him to the ground below. Pitch bounces off a car roof.
"Remind me not to get on your bad side," Jenna remarked.
"You are one cool fighter," Snowmoon added in. This earned him in a pat on the snout from Sandy before they all descended through the air to street level.
"Okay, easy! You can't blame me for trying, Sandy!" Pitch freaked out moving away from them. "You don't know what it's like to be weak, and hated! It was stupid of me, to mess with your dreams. So, I'll tell you what. You can have 'em back,"
Nightmares appeared out of the ground and surrounded Jenna, Snowmoon, Marcus and Sandy. Snowmoon circled around them to protect them.
Tidark appeared from below Pitch and hoisted him onto his neck.
"This is your chance, Tidark," Pitch encouraged. "Your chance to take out that dragon,"
The two dragons growled at each other whilst the Nightmares brayed angrily.
There was a beat of silence before "Boo!" The Nightmares started to attack at Pitch's commanded.
Everyone started to fight them, but North's sleigh passed overhead, crashing into things. Apparently, North, Tooth, and Bunny were still dozing off due to the Dream-sand. After another scrape on the top of a building, they all startle awake again. They right away saw their friends in trouble.
Jenna and Marcus hopped onto Snowmoon and took off whilst Sandy uses his sand to burst into the air like a water-spout.
Pitch on Tidark took off after Jenna and Marcus on Snowmoon.
Snowmoon noticed and tried to fly faster but Pitch and Tidark wouldn't give up until he was dead. Just when Tidark was an inch way from captured Jenna and blasted Marcus and Snowmoon, a huge sand spear came out of nowhere and stabbed him in the eyes making him shriek in terror. This gave Snowmoon, a chance to escape.
Jenna looked towards Sandy far away and nodded 'thank you'
Tooth took off with her wings to bring back up and went spiraling through some Nightmares with her wings.
Meanwhile Bunny jumped off the sleigh, attacking during freefall, before landing on the street to slash through some Nightmares with a knife as well as throw his boomerang at them and bash them with his huge feet. Then, he jumped back into the air to latch onto the sleigh, driving it while North attacked with his swords from the front.
Snowmoon was blasted every Nightmare in his path with his ice fire whilst Marcus and Jenna fired at them from the sides.
Suddenly a Nightmare went into Snowmoon and he lost balance causing Jenna to fall off.
"Jenna!" Marcus screamed.
Snowmoon went into a dive bomb and soared down to Jenna. Marcus caught her in his arms and Snowmoon headed towards the sleigh.
"Thank you," Jenna said to Marcus who just smiled.
"You're welcome,"
Sandy was all alone on his cloud, surrounded by a tornado of black sand which he kept whipping at to no avail.
North sat to take control of his sleigh again.
"Guys, we've gotta help Sandy!" Snowmoon alerted seeing him all alone whilst Marcus jumped on to assist his best friend.
North steered the sleigh in that direction upwards.
On his dragon, Pitch snarled at Sandy for harming his dragon so he pulled the string of an invisible bow, using an arrow-head shaped out of black sand aiming accurately at the back of Sandy. It hits Sandy right between the shoulder-blades.
He froze in pain.
"Nooo!" Jenna screamed. Snowmoon's eyes widened; he started soaring higher and faster towards the dying Sandman. Pitch laughed menacingly as Sandy turned to face him.
"Don't fight the fear, little man," Pitch gloated as he laughed.
Tooth and Marcus were about to go and assist Jenna and Snowmoon when Nightmares blocked them.
"Hurry! Hurry!" North called up to Jenna and Snowmoon as he struggled to keep the reindeer calm.
"I'd say sweet dreams, but there aren't any left," Pitch finally said his last insultment at Sandy.
The Sandman stood up, closed his eyes and accepted death as the swirling black sand closes in on his glowing yellow light, snuffing it out like a candle.
North eyes widened "Sandy?
Tooth and Bunny placed their hands over their mouths whilst Marcus spoke so quietly, "No,"
"No... NOOO!" Jenna shouted overcome by shock.
"You monster!" Snowmoon cursed. He raced towards Pitch, but halted in mid-air as he and Jenna looked at the horde of Nightmares about to overcome them with their might.
Pitch still smirked with pride and pleasure for himself and Tidark as they observed their army about to take on Jenna and Snowmoon.
They closed in on them, but from where they were, a bright blue light that pushes back against the Nightmares. Jenna was firing a huge burst of ice magic from her staff and Snowmoon breathed as much ice magic as he could.
The ice spread across the giant swarm of nightmares until they exploded in black sand like booming fireworks over the city. The huge boom caused Pitch to be knocked off Tidark so he dived down to catch.
The guardians saw Snowmoon and Jenna falling from the sky.
"Jenna!" Marcus shouted in fear. "Snowmoon!"
Tooth flew up to catch Jenna whilst Marcus sent out a soft blast from his hands to catch Snowmoon. He stood at the side of the sleight to concentrate on holding Snowmoon in the air whilst Tooth set Jenna down in the sleigh. He could make Snowmoon because he was too big.
"Jenna, h-how did you do that?" she asked.
"I, I, I- I didn't know I could," Jenna answered weakly. She noticed Snowmoon being held in the air by Marcus. "Snowmoon?"
"He's alright," Marcus assured. "He's just unconscious. He'll be fine,"
On the ground, Tidark had managed to keep Pitch safe from the fall but he still wounded a bit. They watched with their nightmares as the sleigh disappear into a portal in the sky.
Pitch laughed as he felt he had actually won already. "Finally! Someone who knows how to have a little fun!"
"That is the last, the world will ever have dreams from that Sandman!" Tidark agreed. "That'll teach him to throw a spear at my eye,"
