Later on North and Sandy had a wonderful idea and began working on a secret project. They didn't tell anyone what it was they were working on, till one day they got stuck. It was while they were pondering what to do, that Jack walked into the Globe room unexpectedly, surprising both of them.
"Hay guys." He greeted. "Is this a bad time?"
"Jack! Actually your timing is perfect, maybe you help us?" North asked.
"Sure." Jack replied. He walked over, planted his staff, and jumped on top of the crook to balance. "What's up?"
Sandy showed a mini North and a light bulb next to a globe.
Jack puzzled the game of Pictionary before him. He looked at the Globe of Belief and understanding struck. "You're trying to get lights that represent the Guardians to appear on the Globe."
Sandy nodded.
"Unfortunately everything ve've tried hasn't vorked." North concluded.
"Hmm." Jack jumped off his staff and started twirling it absentmindedly. Looking at the Globes control panel he noticed a box that wasn't there before. "What's that?" he pointed to the box.
"That's sample hold, put magic into it so Globe have something it can use to locate our magic. Or that's vhat it's supposed to do. Ve've tried both our magics and it didn't work."
"Hmm." The boy said again. He looked at the Globe, the skylight, the controls, and then the Guardian mosaic. The floor art wheel now sported a fifth spoke representing him and he couldn't help but smile at the physical reminder that he was a Guardian, he had a place where he belonged, and he was a part of a family. His eyes then traveled to the center of the Mosaic where the Guardian G stood proudly. "What about the moon crystal?"
Sandy showed a crescent moon, a crystal, and then a question mark.
"Yah. Mim chose us, so his power might be the kind of magic you have been looking for. The magic that connects us can be used to locate each of us."
North looked like he might smack his head with his palm. He went over to the control panel, and with the flip of a lever the crystal rose from the mosaic. Taking a small chip, he placed it in the sampler. Nobs were spun, buttons pushed, and levers flipped. Then North said, "Ok Sandy." With that Sandy sent Dream Sand into the machine.
"Why the sand?" Jack asked.
Without looking up from the panel North said, "Just like belief lights, sand provides light. Is self-sustaining while in Globe, here go's." and pushed a single red button. The gold lights of belief were replaced with five silver lights, one for each Guardian. Three were on the North Pole; one was on Australia, and one on India. "Crustove!" Shouted North, Sandy raised his arms in a silent cheer. But when they turned to Jack the boy had a thoughtful look on his face.
"What about the others?" he asked. At Sandy's question mark he elaborated. "The other spirits."
"Vell, Ve made to locate Guardians." North explained.
"I know but what happens if another spirit, a non-Guardian, needs help?"
Sandy shrugged, looking sheepish.
"We can't just look after ourselves, we're Guardians—"
"Of children." North interrupted.
"So! Does that mean we leave everyone else to themselves? That's not right!" Jack's emotions started to cause his powers to react, his staff iced over and the temperature in the Globe room dropped dramatically.
"Jack, calm down—"
"No North! This isn't right! If we can help we should!" Jack then leaped into the air and left through the skylight. So upset he didn't even realize he was leaving the Pole on his own for the first time since Pitch's attack.
In the Globe room Sandy looked at North with a sad expression. A mini Jack and a check mark appeared above him.
"Da, Jack is right. Ve need to show him ve care. Ve have more vork to do!" The two sat to work trying to find a way to add the other spirits magic to the locating Globe. Several hours later they were no closer to a solution.
With a rush of cold wind Jack landed with his arms full. North and Sandy moved to speak but Jack beat them to it. "Here, put these in the sampler." He held out three objects. "Before you ask, yes I did ask to have them, and yes they were given to me."
The first object was an old pocket watch, copper in color and still ticking strong. "One of Father Times clocks." Jack explained. The second was a scrap of fabric, earthen brown in color and soft looking. "A peace of Mother Nature's robe." The third object was a medium sized, red colored, thick leather bound book. "A magic story book by Mother Goose, it has all the stories of every existing legend and when a new one is created their story is added."
Both of the older Guardians stared at Jack, mouths hanging open.
"These things will give us the magic to find the three other kinds of spirits, Nature or elemental, time, and legend." Without further explanation Jack placed the three items in the sampler box. "Ok, give it a try." He said smiling.
Still at a loss for words, or pictures in Sandy's case, the two older Guardians did as asked. Again North worked the controls while Sandy worked his sand. When the red button was pushed three new sets of colored lights appeared beside the silver.
"Yes!" Jack cheered at the multitude of lights, brown for nature, copper for time, and red for legends.
"How did you get those Jack?" North asked, finally finding his voice.
"Well I figured Mother Nature chose the elemental and Nature spirits, Father Time chose the time spirits, and, though she doesn't choose them, Mother Goose knows of every legend because she writes their stories. So I went to each and asked for something that held their magic, explaining what it was for, and they each gave me an item. They don't want to lose their friends either."
"But…Mother Nature I understand. But how do you know Ombric and Katherine?"
Without even pausing at the names, Jack shrugged. "I meet them a long time ago." Smirking then he turned to face the two. "Santoff Claussen is in Russia. You of all spirits, North, should know how much it snows there."
Sandy made an exclamation point to match his shocked face.
But Jack yawned and stretched. Sorry Sandy, but I'm tuckered out. I'll see you at breakfast ok?" Before getting an answer the winter spirit strolled to his room, as confident and sure as if the time with Pitch had never happened.
