OK so this is the next chapter.

Thank you all for the reviews/follows/favorites!

I don't own ROTG or HTTYD. I also don't own Tangled or Brave for what little parts they have in this chapter!

Now onto the chapter!

Hiccup opened his eyes and he found that he and the others had made it out of the icy tundra of Jack's home to appear back at the place on the island. While the other's thanked the warmth that came from the much warmer air, Hiccup was hiding the crystal away again. He removed the rock, placed it with the others, and covered the box up again.

"Come on!" He shouted towards the others as he ran to the sleigh, which was surprisingly still here. "We have to get to the North Pole and get Jack's staff!" The other's blinked in confusion for a moment before remembering that there was a certain friend they were trying to save.

"Of course!" North shouted as he and the other's climbed into the sleigh. "We go quickly!" With a shout, he snapped the reigns and the reindeer were off. Whispering into a snow-globe his destination, North threw it and a swirling portal appeared. He ran right into it and no one complained about the fast pace, not even Bunny. When they appeared on the other side, North landed the sleigh in the landing area and everyone hopped off. However, before everyone entered through the doors that led inside, Hiccup turned to Rapunzel and Merida.

"I think you guys should go home." He said making their eyes widen.

"W-What?"

"You can't be serious!"

"I mean it." Hiccup said. "It's going to be dangerous when we face Jack again and I don't think you guys should risk getting hurt. This is something I have to fix, not you." Hiccup said. "Besides, you've been away from your parents for a long time now and in freezing weather, you should take time to rest."

"But we want to help! Jack's our friend too!" Rapunzel protested.

North came up to stand behind Hiccup. "I agree with Hiccup." He spoke. "You do not need to come, it is not something you need to fix or fight for. I understand you care for Jack, but Hiccup makes good points." The two looked to the other three Guardians only to see that they agreed with them.

Merida huffed. "Fine, just bring that idiot back." With that the two were handed snow-globes and they were sent back to their homes.

With a sigh Hiccup turned back to the others. He met their gazes and he said. "Let's do this." He received four nods in return.

North led them through the halls of the workshop as quickly as possible. It seemed to take forever for Hiccup before they would reach the room that the staff had been left in. When they finally did North slammed the doors open and searched immediately for the pieces of the staff. Hiccup remembered they had been left on a coffee table in the center of the room and when he turn towards it, he found it empty! No! Where were the pieces of the shepherds crook?!

"Where are they?!" Hiccup exclaimed as the other's had the same result in their own search.

North turned to question a yeti only for it to shrug in response and grumble something back. "What do you mean you do not know where it is?!" North screamed. "How could you just let it disappear?!" The yeti shrunk away from his anger.

"So it's gone?" Hiccup breathed, fear painting both his face and words.

"It appeared so." North groaned. "And yetis do not know where it is."

"What about the bloody elves?!" Bunny asked and even his voice showed his fear.

"Elves do not have them either."

"It has to be somewhere!" Hiccup shouted. "We can't loss this! If we don't get the staff, we can't save Jack!"

Suddenly, a dark chuckle filled the air. While it was unfamiliar to Hiccup, it was very familiar to the Guardians. Hiccup watched as out of the shadows, a gray skinned man with black hair and golden eyes formed, grinning pointed teeth at them.

"Pitch." Bunny growled. So that's who this was. Hiccup was told of Pitch from Jack but seeing him now made him wonder how Jack was ever able to laugh at him.

"I must say, the amount of fear dripping from all of you it very intoxicating." He said in his silky voice sending shivers down Hiccup's spine.

"Pitch! Do you have something to do with this?!" Tooth shouted in anger, barely holding back her want to charge at him.

"With what?" He asked then he blinked and a sickening smirk formed on his face. "Oh, do you mean the disappearance of this?" With that, the pieces of Jack's staff appear out of the shadows and in his hands. "Then I guess that's a yes."

Tooth flew at him only for him to disappear. "Pitch! You better give us back that staff or-"

"Or what?" His voice interrupted her. "You'll punch out another tooth? Oh I'm shaking in terror." He formed on a ledge near the ceiling peering down at them. "Honestly, why would I want you to bring the brat back? The fear he causes from his storms is glorious and this way he's not getting in my way by bringing joy to children. You're all upset and he seems to enjoy his new life. Now what kind of person would I be if I took his new joy away from him? Especially if he had gone through so much to get there."

Hiccup furrowed his eyebrows at that last part. How would Pitch know what happened to Jack? It almost sounded as though he…realization dawned on Hiccup.

"You caused all this to happen." He breathed out causing them all to look at him.

"What was that boy?" Pitch asked raising a brow.

"You caused this all to happen." He spoke again. "From the very beginning. You were the one that made Jack freak out and cause the storm all those months ago. You were the one who caused Jack to shoot Toothless. I'll bet you were there and when he went to hit you, he hit Toothless instead!" Anger clouded Hiccup's eyes as he glared at the spirit above him.

Pitch blinked down at him before he grinned again. "I'm impressed you figured that all out. Even if you didn't include your part in it all, the point remains. You are certainly a clever boy."

"Yes, very clever." Everyone's eyes widened once more in fear, yes even Pitch, as they turned to look at one of the windows they hadn't even realized opened. Within in stood a smirking Jack, arms crossed as his white eyes bore into Pitch's and his teeth glinted with malice.

"Hello Frost." Pitch greeted as everyone else held their breath.

"And hello to you Pitch!" Jack responded. "I must say I'm surprised to see you here. Come to play as well~?"

"Actually, I was just leaving." Pitch said hoping to make it out before the insane spirit could stop him. Just because he like the fact the winter spirit brought fear didn't mean he wanted to cross paths with him. "I wouldn't want to intrude on you time with them."

However, before Pitch could vanish through a shadow, a freezing hand grabbed his wrist causing him to flinch at the burning feeling. The parts of the staff in his hands dropped and fell to the floor as he looked up and froze at the sight of the swirling eyes before him. "But Pitch," Icy breath ghosted over his face. "I never did get to thank you, did I? You did go through so much trouble for little old me! I should return the favor."

The other's did nothing but watched the ironic scene before them. The King of Fear was afraid, how funny.

Pitch swallowed as he asked his next question. "And how do you wish to do that?"

White eyes grew in power and swirled faster and the smile upon the other's ice-like face grew impossibly wide. "Well, since you helped me find the true, darker side of winter, why don't I help you find the chill the dark brings? You always said, cold and dark go together right?"

Before Pitch could even respond, he was surrounded on all sides by piercing cold and was met with darkness. Jack grinned at his work and backed away from the body with a low chuckle.

Meanwhile, on the floor, the other's watched in horror as Jack froze pitch solid, a terrified face of the Boogieman being the most noticeable thing. They can't believe Jack would just do that without any sign of mercy. Wait, no. That's because this wasn't Jack. This was some twisted version of their friend caused by the cold that threatened to hide him from the world and form him into the careless, cold, and crazy being. And the key to stopping it was but mere feet away from them, laying uselessly on the ground.

"Seemed fitting right?" Jack spoke turning his freezing gaze to all of them. "Now onto the real reason I came here." His eyes seemed to glow.

"Who wants to play first?"

Believe it or not, but I've done that to Pitch twice now with an insane Jack, just this time was actually a lot nicer than the other time. If you want to see that time it's chapter 19 in my story "In These Days". So yeah.

Also, there will only be 2 more chapters until this is done! And you'll get them this week. Don't know when I just know this week. So be ready!

Feel free to comment, ask questions, etc.

Until next time! :D
