Hi people! XD I'm back again with the next chapter.
I feel bad for putting Jack through this, but hey it's fun. So Jack is taken over by his own magic and making him cold. The trance does not help his situation because now he can't feel any warmth. The trance and his own magic is making him cold heart-ed. Just so you know, if you were not clear on this.
Song is "Relentless" By New Years Day.
On we go!
Jack awoke on the ground, "What?" Jack said. He got up and looked around there was light every where. Jack saw the window and ran at it, maybe he could escape this place. Jack then got stopped by something, he looked down. Chains! What is this?! "Dammit!" Jack said. He pulled on them, they should be easy to break right? Wrong, he could not break them. "Dammit!" Jack tried to freeze them, but that didn't work either. Jack was at loss of how to get out of the chains. "Snow Queen...Old Man...what should I do?" Jack asked but received no answer. "Hello?" Jack said again.
After a few moments of listening he gave up, they didn't answer. Jack growled, "The guardians must have done something! Damn those spirits!" Jack said, who was still under the trance. Jack looked out the window again, his face was ice! Jack looked at it with confusion, why is he ice? "What? Whatever, it's just ice." Jack looked at the moon, who was lighting up the room. Jack snared at it, "Stupid moon! You and your guardians are keeping me here aren't you!" He yelled. The moon did nothing, "I see how it is." Jack looked away with an angry look on his face. "Your not gonna keep me here for long if that's what you think." Jack checked to see how far he can go with the chains on. He could only be in the inner part of the room, he couldn't reach the walls by at least two feet."Great, I'm stuck in here." he said.
~~~~~~~~Line Break~~~~~~~~
Jamie knows that all of the guardians didn't want to do that to their youngest guardian. Then again, how else was Jack going to heal from the ice? What if Jack wouldn't heal at all? "Guys...What if Jack wont heal from his ice? I-I mean like the ice is inside him. How can the moon do anything about that?" Jamie asked.
"Because Jamie...the moon is the one that gave him his magic. The moon is vary powerful and can do anything with it's light. It's light could heal what Jack has done with himself." North said.
"What if the moon didn't give him that? T-The powers I mean, like what if something else gave it to him. Like another spirit or something and the moon just gave him immortality."
"No...The moon has made Jack, nothing else did."
"But what if your wrong, like, what gave you your magic? How did you get it?"
"Well I got my magic from my teacher. His name was Ombric, he taught me spells and magic. I know now as much as he did."
"Then what did the moon do?"
"He...well...gave us all immortality. Except for Sandy and Bunny, they are already immortal."
"So then the moon gave Jack immortality not the powers. Where do the powers come from?"
"We...well...we don't know. We just assumed it was Manny since Jack had died before. We thought that he would have given Jack his powers and imortality."
"Then there you go, the moon only gave Jack immortality not the powers. So there's the question, who gave Jack his magic?"
"I will asked Manny." North said, he got up and left. North walked up to the globe room, the moon was shining. "Manny...I ask you to tell me who granted Jack his powers?" The moon moved and shined down on the ground. Then shadows had made an image of some one. "Old Man Winter? How would he give Jack his powers?" He asked. The shadows moved again shifting into an image of Pitch and Old Man Winter. Pitch broke the staff and the Old Man gasped and screamed. Old Man Winter found Jack in the lake, North gasped. "Jack." Then Old Man held the crystal that was in his staff. With magic he pushed the crystal into Jack's lifeless body. He looked up to the moon and started talking. The moon had grown bigger and shined down near Jack, it raised him out of the ice. The old man had disappeared after that and Jack was born.
The moon stopped with the images, North understood now. "Ah...I see." Is the only think he said before going quiet. The moon fell away along with the light. North then made his way back to the room everyone was in. He opened the door, "You were right Jamie...he got his powers from somewhere else." Jamie and the others looked to him, "So I was right, then what happens now? I mean like, we have to do something about Jack. Though I feel like somethings wrong with him. Like he's not...all there."
"What do you mean Jamie?" Tooth said. Jamie looked down for a moment to figure out a way to say it. "Well you know, somethings taking over him or something's controlling him to do all of this. I know Jack would never do this to anyone, the real Jack would have stayed in that castle. Why would he go out and hurt everyone else?" Jamie said. All the guardians looked to each other. "You could be right kid," Bunny said. "Something possibly could be telling him what to do. Then the problem is we don't know who or what it is. It could be anyone."
"How about we go and talk to him, no one of us talk to him. We need to know what's controlling Jack." Jamie said. It was quiet for a moment. "Kid...You can stay here, we don't need you more freezing then you are already. I can go talk to him." Bunny said. Tooth gasped, "Bunny no...he will hurt you. We don't need you frozen too."
"Impossible! Jack can not use magic right now. The chains keep powers at bay." North said. Jamie's mouth fell open, he didn't know that. "See sheila Jack can't hurt me. I also have to apologize to frostbite, I need to make this right. If it is real Jack there then this might be the right thing to do. If it's not I could maybe bring out real Jack for a while." Bunny said, it was all silent. "Look, I owe him this for being so mean with him. I need to try and bring out frostbite long enough to tell him to fight what ever could be controlling him." It was once again silent until North spoke, "Alright, go talk to him." Bunny hopped out of the door. "I hope he can bring out Jack."
"Me too." Jamie said, he has a bad feeling that it might just not end well.
~~~~~~~~Line Break~~~~~~~~
Bunny made his way to the aria Jack was in. "Man it's freezing." He said, hugging to try and get warmth. He will never get use to the cold. Once he arrived he shuttered from the cold, "Alright, open the door." Bunny said. The moon light revealed the door in the ice. "Thanks." Bunny opened the door.
"What do you want." Jack said. He was in the middle of the room. "I want to talk to ya." Bunny said. Jack rolled his eyes, "No you don't, you just want come in here because I'm finally helpless right?" Jack said, Bunny shook his head. "Naw Frostbite, I came here to try and get you back." Jack was silent for a moment, "Yeah right...you expect me to believe you? After what you blamed me for? After everything that you did to me?"
"Look, I'm sorry for what I did. It wasn't right to do that to you, I was just mad. I never meant to hurt you and make you run away. It was never my intention to do that. I'm sorry." Bunny said, Jack's eyes darken, "No...it to late to apologize to me. Now get out of my sight, I don't want you here." Jack turned away. Bunny couldn't give up just yet, "No Frostbite, I'm not going anywhere. Look I want to help you, to bring you back. I know your not yourself and I'm here to bring you back out." Jack turned around, "NO! Your wrong! I am myself! I don't care what you think is wrong with me."
"Frostbite I know your listening to someone. They are controlling you, you need to fight your way back."
"NO! They are not controlling me, they are my friends. We just want to take back are winter from your spring."
"Who are they Frosty?"
"It doesn't matter, we just need to take winter back. You can't stop me from taking back the crown."
"The crown? Frostbite you need to stop listening to them. The children are dying because of this winter. Think about the children." Bunny said. Jack didn't do anything. "No...I don't care about them, not anymore." Jack said in a cold tone. "Jack," Bunny started, "I know you still care about children. Your a guardian, like us. Your one of us Jack." Jack stepped back, "Stop, stop saying that." Bunny knew he was getting somewhere, he had to keep going. "I know you don't want to hurt the children, I know that now. But you have to fight this Jack, this thing that's controlling you, you have to fight it. Jamie needs you." Jack's eyes widen, ducks his head and closes his eyes. "Jamie..."
"Come on Jack, fight it."
Then a few moments later Jack's eyes fly open, "Bunny..." He said. The pooka smiled, "Is that you Jack? The real you?" Jack started shacking, "I-I...y-you...please...h-help me." Bunny smiled, it was working real Jack is right here. "It's okay Jack, keep fighting it alright. You can do it." Bunny said, trying to get some hope in Jack. "I-I" Jack closed his eyes, "I-its too strong. I-I can't f-fight it."
"Yes you can Jack, come on. We all need you back. Jamie still needs you." Jack stepped back again, he curled in a bit. "B-Bunny...I-I...I-it's...I can't." Jack's voice cracking at the end. "Jack, it's okay, you can do this. Think about Jamie, think about the children." Bunny said, he figured if he used his name and Jamie that Jack will come out and fight more. "I-I..." Jack looked up into Bunny's eyes, "Tell Jamie...I-I...I'm s-sorry."
"No Jack, you need to keep fighting. I'm not giving up on you Jack, you need to fight." Jack whimpered, "I-I can't...It's t-to hard...I-I'm s-sorry Bunny." Jack closed his eyes and looked down. Bunny know's he's losing Jack. "Jack please...come back to us."
"I-I...I'm sorry." Jack said. No he's losing it, he didn't know how much longer he can hold it off. "Jack, don't say that." Bunny came up to him, "Look at me Jack." Jack looked up, there was pain and hurt in Jack's eyes. "I know you can do this, I believe in you Jack. Just don't give up, do this for us. Do this for Jamie, do this for the children." Jack closed his eyes and fell onto Bunny's chest. "B-Bunny...I-I." Bunny held onto Jack quickly bringing warmth into Jack's little body. "Jack, it's okay. Just keep fighting it, it will be alright." Bunny could feel the cold off of Jack's body. The ice on Jack was melting away. "That's it Jack, keep going." He wasn't sure if his body heat is melting the ice or Jack is doing it.
"B-Bunny...I-I... I-I want to k-keep fighting b-but the trance, i-it's t-too strong. I-I'm s-sorry."
"No Jack...please keep going."
"But...the, the trance...I-I...I can't hold it off, it's too strong."
"Jack...keep fighting, don't stop fighting. Think about your family, about the one's you had before."
"M-My...my sister."
"Yes Jack...think about her and your parents. Think about Jamie, everyone."
"I-I...I can't keep it off much l-longer. It's getting too strong."
"Jack don't give up, we still need you, we can't lose you."
"I-I...I'm sorry."
"Jack come on, please don't give up."
"I-I...I can't go on. I-I'm sorry." Bunny knew that he was losing Jack fast. "L-Let me go...I-I don't wanna h-hurt y-you." Bunny did as Jack said. He let go of Jack and stepped back. Jack fell to the ground, on his hands and knees. "Jack?" Bunny said when Jack didn't do anything. Jack's head shot up and had a mean look to him. "Nice try fuzzball, but it wasn't good enough." Bunny stepped back as Jack stood, "Jack is still in there and me and the others will save him."
"No you wont." Jack ran to attack Bunny. The pooka quickly jumped to the other wall. Jack ran at him only to be stopped by the chains. "Oh so are we gonna play this way?" Bunny knows he's safe at the walls, "Yes...you can't hurt me Jack, those chains will keep your powers inside."
"Oh so that's what they do?" Jack said, pulling on them again. "Just be glad your not frozen fuzzball. You are lucky this time, but just know that once I get out your the first one to go." Jack said. His smile was sinister and as cold as ice. "No...because I know Jack is going to come back out-" He got cut off by Jack's laugh. "Oh you think so huh? I'm vary happy to prove that you are wrong. I am Jack, i'm just more...lets say...colder and not so kind as I was before. I was just acting with you, your vary gullible you know." Bunny was confused, he swore it was real Jack! "No...I know that was Jack, your not."
"I am so...how do I know that you only call me Jack when you are worried and caring?"
"Well...I don't know mate, but I know your not him."
"How can you be so sure cottontail? Oh...or do you have hope it was good little me?"
"Well..."
"Yes I knew you were hoping that I would still be good little Jack, but to bad, I'm not. That boy is dead, I'm Jack and i'm here to take back what is mine."
"What are you going to take?"
"The crown, my Winter's crown that I will get back from Pitch."
"Pitch? He didn't take it."
"Oh yes he did, right after he broke his staff and destroyed him! Lucky enough though, now I have winter's last bit of magic."
"What are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about the staff from Old Man Winter, the crystal that was on top of it. All his magic came from that staff. Pitch destroyed it! Took it away! Left winter to be thawed out forever!" Bunny didn't know that, Pitch can be so cruel sometimes."Now, I'm gonna take back the realm that we lost and restore it. We need the realm resorted to make more winter sprites, I have to take over the crown." Jack said, his eyes full of determination and anger. Bunny had to tell the others, he looked up at the moon. It shined the door for him to go through. Bunny kept his eyes on Jack as he moved closer to the door. Jack had an icy glare at him, fallowing his every move. Bunny then got to the door and got out, leaving Jack inside.
Jack stared at where the door was, 'Those idiots! The come in here and try to take me down.' He thought. No Jack will not go down with out a fight. He's stronger then that, not weak! "I got to get outta here, this stupid place!" Jack hated how he was trapped in here with no escape, or could he escape? 'Oh Well, the guardians are gonna get it, starting with Bunny!' Jack pulled on the chains that bound his magic inside him. Jack stopped, it was useless. "They've deemed me powerless and weak right from the start." It was all about capturing him and putting him in a cell wasn't it? "Their targets aimed at me," Jack hated them now, 'those idiots!' "these cowards leave their mark!" He would never forget this, what they have done. "Unforgetting, unforgiving." He remembers them fighting him, trying to kill him. "Taking every little shot!" 'Ha they could barely hurt me.' "But I'm too strong and I wont fall."
"Give me everything you got!" Jack then tried to push his magic out of him, he could feel it trapped though. "Tear me down, it won't build you up." Jack let all his magic stop, it was hurting him. He could feel it inside, growing and building, ready to explode! "Never gonna stop!" No he can't stop now, he's come too far to give up everything. "Won't quit till I'm not breathing!" Jack tried again, it was getting harder to bring out, the chains are keeping it in. "Chain me all you want!" Jack looked down at the chains, they can't hold him there! These enchanted chains shall never be stronger then he. He is stronger then them! "It won't be enough! Never gonna stop! Even if these chains keep holding! I'm not giving up! It won't be enough!"
Jack saw blue around his wrists and the chains wont let his magic pass through to his hands. Will it kill him? Freeze him? destroy him?! 'I see how it is guardians.' Jack thought. "They are fixated on bringing down my name." They never liked him anyway, Bunnymund always had something against him! "The grudges that you hold have no effect on me!" Jack could feel the magic needing to come out, it was screaming against him. He had no choice but to keep trying if he wanted out of there. "Under pressure! Out of options and I'm up against the odds." Jack didn't know what else to do, either break out or give up. Oh and he's definitely not gonna give up. "But I'm too strong and I won't fall! Gimme everything you got!"
Jack felt the pressure building in his wrists, man his arms are going blue. "Tear me down it won't build you up." He's gonna have to force it out! "Never gonna stop! Won't quit till i'm not breathing!" The blue seems to go up his arms more and more. "Chain me all you want! It won't be enough. Never gonna stop!" Jack had to get out of these things sometime, chains can't hold him down forever. "Even if these chains keep holding, I'm not giving up. It won't be enough." How long are they gonna hold him anyway, nothing seems to work.
"Fought for everything I have." He has gone this far, he's not going to give up now because of the guardians. "I've come to far no looking back!" They just want him here until he finally dies, don't they? No he can't die can he, he'll live forever trapped behind these walls. There is no way he is spending his time here. "You'd have to kill me to defeat me and as badly as you want to you wont get, that chance."
"You won't tear me down," Jack then saw the chains freezing and breaking. Yes! Yes! He can get out of here! "You won't tear me down. Never gonna stop!" Jack pushed his magic to freeze the chains more and more. "Won't quit till I'm not breathing. Chain me all you want! It won't be enough." The chains were freezing and the temperature was cooling down by the second. "Never gonna stop! Even if these chains keep holding. I'm not giving up! It won't be enough." Then the chains were cracking, blue was in between the cracks. Yes! He was getting out of them! "It won't be enough!" Jack yelled, the magic was stinging him, there was a little to much. "It won't be enough!" Then the chains break and Jack is free from them.
I'm gonna end it there. I hope it was worth the wait. Sorry I haven't been posting and everything, I've been doing other things.
Jack, I'm sorry for doing that to you. I made you look so weak when you were you. Meh...
Anyway see you next time. Hope for sooner then this one was.
