"This way, Jack!" North bellowed to the frost spirit who was hopping from, roof to roof.
"Aye aye, capt'n!" Jack called out, and used, Wind, to follow the sleigh to it's destination.
Jack watched in amazement, as the Cossack leaped from chimney to chimney leaving presents-or coal-in each house in mere seconds.
"This is awesome, North! How come you never let me do this with you before?" Allen chirped, all the pain from about a week ago forgotten about, in his joy.
"Eh, just thought you would want to help and get spirit's up!" North said, when he had a second to breath after a round of chimneys.
"And how do you stay so fit, after eating all those cookies?" Jack inquired.
"Er.."
Jack didn't even notice the older man's pause, before shooting off with more questions, curious about nearly everything.
"Hey, North?"
"Yes?"
"What happened to, Rudolph?" he asked.
North froze at this, partially amazed that the boy thought the specific reindeer existed. Humans created a fake existence of the creature with a red nose to use in a story..or at least that's what he thought. There was no law that said the reindeer didn't exist somewhere out there in the world.
"Well, Jack.." North started, but cut himself off, when he saw something red fly by his ear.
His bright blue eyes narrowed, and he fingered his twin sabers carefully.
"North?" Jack asked, noticing the man's tenseness, "What is it?" the teen whispered, and held his staff carefully, at the ready to blast whatever came at him.
He looked at, North as his eyes widened, "Duck!" he screamed and when, the man did so, Jack shot a bolt of ice past him.
"What is it?"
"Fire.." Jack muttered, narrowing his icy blue eyes carefully, observing all around him, "North, keep on delivering the presents, we need to keep your belief..I'll stand watch on whatever is near us."
North nodded, and with a grunt, shot off in the sleigh, to the next continent, flying across the ocean. Jack residing on the back of the, sleigh, watching carefully, catching a blur of red every so often.
"What is that.." Jack murmured to himself, and looked to the crescent moon high in the sky, "Can you help me at all?"
Jack said that to no one pretty much, because there was no way the moon would answer him.
Oh wait.
Jack..
All the impossible things are happening tonight.
"Eh?" Jack murmured, snapping his head up, to the moon.
If you concentrate on what you're seeing, you can freeze it.. Chander's ghostly voice gingerly whispered in, Jack's ear.
A shudder ran down his spine, "Geez dad, don't be so creepy.." he growled, but took his father's advice, and concentrated on the red blur he kept seeing.
Freeze..freeze it...freeze it..FROZEN! his head snapped up from his train of thought, and saw something black and red fall to the ocean.
"Ha!" he cheered, and flew downwards to catch the..whatever it was. With a swing of his staff, the 'thing's' cloak was caught onto, Jack's crook.
"Who the hell are you, and why are you following me?" Jack growled, and used, Wind to keep him supported, and at the same time, flip of the figures hood.
"No.." Jack breathed, looking at what-or who was underneath the hood.
"Why, Aiden..why.." Jack whispered through clenched teeth.
Said teen just smirked, and looked in his ex-friend's deep blue eyes, "Because you killed her," and with that his smirk fell into a grimace, and he used a ball of fire, to unwrap himself from, Jack's staff, flying up in to the air.
With, Aiden's hood down, he saw everything about his once-friend that had changed. His once bright red hair, turned blood red, but what seemed to scare, Jack the most, was how one of his eyes was the same crimson color as it always was, but the other was a deep purple, and black.
"What happened to you?" Jack asked, scrunching up his nose, his brows furrowing together.
"I just did was my true master, wanted, Jack. And he want's me to kill you, and that's what I want, so I quite eagerly accepted!" Aiden sung like a mad man, and cackled.
Jack noticed curving purple lines that started on, Aiden's cheek and spread to nearly half his face, on the right side, where the purple eye was.
"What are-"
Aiden cut him off, "This?" he gestured to the purple, "Oh, this is a symbol of my serving of my master, and his power~ He gave me some of his power so I could kill you!" and with that, was whipped up a ball of fire, with one finger, and shot it at, Jack with ease.
Jack used his staff to conduct his power at the fiery orb, and freeze it, the ball falling into the ocean.
"This doesn't seem like the kind of place, a fire spirit would battle, does it, Aiden?" Jack jeered, gesturing to the vast ocean under them both.
"It may seem like that, but you as well hate it, don't you, Jackson?" Aiden mocked, using, Jack's past to mess with him.
Jack growled, and continued to parry with, Aiden, but the two were equally matched.
Both spirits, opposites, dark and light continued to fight, but each one paring with the other equally, neither gaining advantage or disadvantage.
But, Jack felt a surge of energy flow through him, and he glanced at, Aiden who was about to rush at the winter.
'Do I go for it? Or not.." Jack thought to himself.
Do it..try out this power, you will not be disappointed~ Chander's voice startling, Jack, causing him to yelp.
But he mentally agreed with him, and let, Aiden rush. Once the spirit got close enough, Jack flipped in the air, and landed behind the fire spirit, and when, Aiden spun around, Jack grabbed his hands, ignoring the burning feeling.
He concentrated his power, ignoring the struggling, fire spirit. He felt cold flow through his veins, and o his fingers, where he had holding, Aiden. Cold flowing into the summer spirit.
"Ack!" Aiden coughed, trying to get away from the cold, his fire based body couldn't hold the cold, it was trying to destroy him from the inside and out. Feeling faint now, Aiden ripped his hands from, Jack's hands, and backed away on a much smaller ball of fire, as his fire was depleted from the cold.
"D-don't..think you've won-" he started coughing, and spat a ball of blood down below, "-Jack Frost..you m-may have stopped m-me th-th-this time..but I-I will be b-back! And I w-will n-not hesitate!"
Jack smirked his signature smirk, and leaned on his staff, in midair, watching the struggling, Aiden in the air, trying to just stay conscious.
The winter chuckled lightly, "You're not going to win, Aiden," Jack sneered, he himself feeling faint, from exerting so much power, but not showing it, as to not show, Aiden, that he was just as weak.
"I'll be b-back!" he screamed, and the purple markings on his cheek glowed a bright violet, and from behind him, opened a small black hole looking circle.
"You can't hide forever," and with that, he was gone.
Jack nodded to himself, as he remembered how, pale, Aiden got from, Jack's attack. Jack in question didn't even know how he did it himself. All he understood was the sudden surge of energy through his body, that not even his staff could conduct the amount of power, and his body just worked on its own.
He lifted high into the sky, sleep tugging at his consciousness, but he persevered through it, and looked around trying to get his sense of direction back.
"I should probably find, North," Jack mumbled weakly, "Or I could go back to the pole..or somewhere else," he muttered, only half awake of where he was flying.
Before he knew it, he bumped into a giant willow tree, and apologized thinking it was person before he took step off of, Wind, and fell onto the floor of leaves, asleep.
Wind blew through his hair, trying to wake the boy, but he used up to much power and had to sleep.
Using the ancient language of olden times, Wind talked to the willow tree, and asked it to tall, Seraphina that her son had fallen asleep and should come and retrieve him.
The tree complied gladly, and sent the message through its roots, in the earth, to wherever, Sera resided.
Jack had won the first battle, but the war was just beginning. The flame had just been kindled on the logs, the fire beginning to spark.
