Slowly, step by step, Jack made it down the path to the pond all the while looking for anything that might be a ghost eye.
This time when the plants lit up, and the animals came out of their hiding places, instead of laughing and being amazed, Jack just glared and looked disgusted by them.
Coming up to the top of the hill and still not finding anything Jack as about to look somewhere else when the snowfairies from his room came and attacked him blinding him a bit, as the bluebells beneath him wrapped themselves around his legs and made him trip up his bag flying off and the countenance spilling out.
Quickly the fairies made for Jamie's trinket and flew off with it.
Gasping Jack fired at the bluebells making them shrivel up and break thanks to the cold, and let him go. As fast as he could he then fired at pests turning them into iced fairies and causing them to fall.
Picking up everything, Jack ran over to them and took the trinket back before anything else could get to it.
"Why steal this?" Jack asked remembering Jamie saying it didn't work, holding it up and gasping.
Slowly Jack held the trinket up to his eye and everything became a duller black and white.
"Whoa..." he said spinning around the whole pond looking for anything out of the ordinary, finding it when he saw something glowing. "That must be it," he said lowering the trinket to see where it was but gasping when he saw it was the gearshift handle on the robotic dragon and it was coming right for him the Other North in the drivers seat.
"Sorry..." the Other North said in a moaning voice as the dragon slowly came towards Jack who was running away trying to stay ahead of it. "So sorry... Mother... Making me. Don't want... to hurt you..."
Jack thinking up a plan made it to the pond and got ready to jump when he slammed his staff to the center.
All the while the Other North was trying to get the glove off his hand finally making it as the dragon stepped onto the ice, and pulling the gearshift handle off and throwing it to Jack who was up in the air.
"Take... It..." the Other North said falling through the ice with the dragon.
As soon as Jack had the Ghost-Eye and after a few pants, the whole pond turned white and hard.
"Bless you sir. You found me," 1700's voice called out of the handle. "But there are two eyes still lost."
"Don't worry," Jack said landing at the edge of the pond. "I'm getting the hang of it."
After putting the Eye in the bag Jack ran back to the Pole not seeing the moon beginning to be covered.
(*)(*)(*)
"Ok that's one thing she made to get me to stay," Jack said running back through the Pole towards the Other Warren "Next stop..."
He stopped when he felt grass under his feet, but the world was thrown into complete darkness.
Trying not to panic, Jack felt in his bag for the torch and shined it around gasping at all the eggs making the scenery look like one of those Spider Caves in those video games Jamie plays.
Shining it to the sky he gasped when something growled and leapt forward slightly.
Gasping Jack shut it off and looked to the place where the being was going to attack him, gripping his staff a bit tighter. But nothing came.
"Ok, do your thing Trinket," Jack said turning the torch back on, keeping it to the ground and using the device, searching each and every eggs until finally he found it inside what looked like a huge sweetie and something was holding it.
"Oh you got to be kidding me," Jack said to himself rolling his eyes as he thought what it could possible be.
Reaching in, the torch still lit but on the ground behind him, Jack grabbed the furry thing he knew it had to be and pulled it out.
Carefully, Jack uncurled the fingers on the paw and there laid a fully purple egg.
"Ok... This is the part, where the hero, always sets off the booby trap and has to run for their life," Jack said still only having eyes on the egg. "So... I can either leave now, and give up my promise to the kids and lose the game because I wont have all three eyes," Jack said trying to buy some time as he lifted his hand up to hover over the egg, while griping harder to his staff. "Or... I can take the treasure and defeat the monster the witch has set to guard it."
With that Jack grabbed the egg but before he could pull it to himself, the paw re-tightened and out of the 'sweet' came a very upset looking Other Bunny with what looked like rabies coming out of his mouth.
Gasping Jack tried getting away always holding onto the egg his grip on his staff tightening as well making it shine brighter and get the attention of the bats that were in the trees.
Hearing their cries, Jack got an idea, and shot ice and frost at them, making them drop off the branches and fly towards what it was that disturbed them, getting Jack to duck at the last second so instead of him they flew at the Other Bunny the shock getting him to let go of Jack's hand.
Once the egg was in Jack's hand like before the world turned white and hard.
"Carry on boy," 1800's voice said coming out of the egg. "Her web is unwinding."
Nodding Jack placed the egg into his bag too and the went off towards the Other Tooth Palace.
Again failing to see the moon being covered in what looked like the shadow of a giant button.
(*)(*)(*)
"And finally..." Jack said as he got to the third Wonder and looking up at the Tooth Palace, but gasping at what he saw was hanging above the door.
On what before was a flag pole displaying the fabricized mural of Tooth and her fairies there was now two outfits flying in the wind.
"Em... Jamie..." Jack said just above a whisper. Then feeling just as much if not more rage he had when Pitch came to him in Antarctica screamed out to the sky "EVIL WITCH! I'M NOT SCARED!"
After a few seconds the sound of something falling over in the main sorting house made Jack turn towards it.
Gripping his staff in a defensive position, always looking around Jack walked in.
The place was now a total dump the ticket booth was on it's side with a cracked screen, the popcorn buffet, was all out of pop corn because it was all over the floor, the caramel apples had worms and maggots crawling in and around them... Basically the only things left standing was the tent and the Cotton Candy Canons.
"Hello... Jack..." Tooth's voice echoed around the room, getting Jack to spin around to see what looked like was the Other Tooth wearing a hat which was hiding her face, but something was off.
"Er... Hi..." Jack said trying to show he wasn't afraid.
"Is this... What you're looking for?" she asked holding out the ball the Other Baby Tooth was jumping on during the show.
Holding up the Trinket, Jack saw that it was. "Uh huh..." Jack said reaching out to grab it, but it was stolen away.
"You think winning this game's a good thing?" the Other Tooth said zipping off towards the higher levels of the sorting house to look down at Jack who stayed put there looking around. "Oh no you win, and then go home and be bored and alone and unbelieved in same as always." she said slipping into the shadows and reappearing behind Jack making him jump "Stay here with us. We will listen to you. And Play with you."
With that she then zipped to the tent, cautiously followed by Jack.
"If you stay here, my Sweet Tooth, you can have whatever you want," the Other Tooth said as Jack came into the tent seeing her on top of a giant ball just like the Other Baby was.
"You don't get it do you?" Jack asked taking a step forward with each word.
"I don't understand?" the Other Tooth said cocking her head.
"Of course you don't understand," Jack said getting annoyed "You're just the copy She made of the real Tooth Fairy."
"Not even that..." the Other Tooth said her voice changing from slightly off to really off getting Jack to stop what he was doing just about to remove her hat "Anymore..."
Quick as he could Jack ripped the hat off but instead of the Other Tooth being under there it was the Other Baby in her Pixie form holding tightly onto the ball as her sisters flew out of the outfit and attacked Jack as she made her get away.
Rushing out after the Other Baby, Jack was about to attack when the Pixies began to fire the Cotton Candy Cannons at him meaning he had to pause for the ammo to cease their firing before he carried on, getting some stuck to the back of his head and hoodie.
Seeing the Other Baby was nearly out the of sorting house Jack looked to his hand which was still holding the trinket, and threw it. But Baby jumped it and it continued flying.
"NO!" Jack cried getting up and running after her, as she made it out, only to be tripped up by some of the other Pixies making him fall over and loose is grip on his staff meaning he was now free falling to the ground from a fifty-six floor tall building.
o0o
All he could see was darkness and his head was aching.
"What..." he was about to ask himself when he saw the 'buttoned moon' remembered and gasped looking in his bag only to see two Ghost-Eyes.
"Oh Moon," Jack said holding them to his chest. "I lost the game. I lost everything." he began to sob slightly.
"Well, I wouldn't say 'Everything'," someone said getting Jack to look up to see Sandy who was holding a dead Baby Tooth Pixie, the ball and Jack's staff. "I seem to remember I said 'I don't like killing things at the best of times."
"I think you may of said something like that," Jack said getting up smiling replacing the Ghost-Eyes into the bag.
"It looked like you needed this however," Sandy said throwing the ball to Jack, who's smile only increased when everything turned white.
"Thanks," he said as he also took re-ownership of his staff. "Ok, now all that's left if North and Tooth, and I'm guessing their inside since she said the Wonders only held the eyes."
Just as Jack finished speaking the shadow button that was covering the moon finished it's job and from the four holes in the button everything began to unravel and fall apart.
"Come on!" Jack said as he saw that and he and Sandy raced back to the Other Pole and slammed the door just in time.
