I do not own ROTG.
Happy Easter! I hope that all us believers get to see Bunny this year ;)
Thank you all who reviewed, favourited, followed or even who just reads this story.
Sandy was still sleeping as Bunny and North were trying to plan a strategy. On a desk they were examining a map. Bunny began pointing along the map as he said, "Maybe if we send some fairies there and some yetis we could corner them off."
"The originals would have the cover of night by then Bunny." North shot down Bunny's idea.
Bunny sighed, "Well I don't know, mate. This situation is just getting hairier. What exactly is Pitch planning?"
"I don't know, but it is going to be big." North added, "I feel it. In my belly."
Bunny and North immediately looked to the door hearing someone come in.
"It's just me." Tooth reassured. "Any luck?"
"None." Bunnymund sighed. "There is always a flaw. It would help if we knew what Pitch was planning, but of course we don't know so it just makes things a lot more complicated."
"Only time will tell." North stated. "Is Jack still in globe room?"
"GUYS!"
Even though they were far away from the globe room they could hear the yell as clear as day, especially Bunny. To him it was like someone just yelled in his ear. Sandy shot up and saw the others dash past him, catching on he quickly followed them.
Jack stood back on two feet while he tightly gripped his staff. He immediately noticed his nose was bleeding. Hearing large foot steps coming toward the globe room, Jack quickly wiped the blood from his nose.
In seconds the guardians came barging into the globe room asking frantic questions like, what was wrong and if he was okay.
Jack quickly shook off what happened and went to the problem at hand. He pointed to the globe, "Light's are going out and fast."
Slight relief was shown since Jack's yell was so loud and over the top, but it quickly shifted to the concern for the children.
"What's stationed near Japan?" Jack asked as they all saw that a few lights were beginning to turn off.
"My yetis." North stated.
"Look!" Bunnymund pointed as lights were beginning to go out in Australia. "How are they moving around so fast with our patrols everywhere?"
"Who's stationed near Australia?" Jack asked.
"My fairies and Bunny's egg statues. Baby Tooth is in charge near that division."
Baby Tooth was the first to volunteer out of the fairies. After what happened with Pitch over a year ago, Baby Tooth would always be in charge of something being Tooth's right hand fairy.
"We must go on sleigh so we can see and chase properly." North was right while Bunny dreaded it. "To the sleigh!" North loudly announced. They all were quickly leaving the room, except Jack.
He paused for a moment thinking if he should have told them about what had happened to him. He shook his head. There was no time for that. The main concern was for the children. He also felt that whatever was going to unfold from what he knew was going to be something that he would have to deal with alone.
Jack quickly caught up and grinned as he saw Bunny cautiously step into the sleigh, he really preferred his tunnels.
They were soon off going around the route and loops going off into the sky. North whispered, Australia into the snow globe and threw it into mid air. In moments they were flying above the night sky in Darwin and it was pouring with rain. It was wet season in Darwin around this time of year.
"It's good to be home." Bunnymund muttered as his fur was beginning to get wet.
The sleigh floated in mid air as they planned what they were doing. None of them were too bothered by the rain because Sandy conjured a large dreamsand umbrella protecting them from the rain.
"Where are most of the lights going out here?" Tooth asked as they all inspected the mini believer globe in the sleigh.
Sandy pointed a dreamsand arrow down saying that it was Darwin.
"Tooth, where are your fairies?" Bunny asked.
"They are doing a rotation, but they should be around here about now." Tooth stated. Suddenly the rain stopped, revealing how warm and humid it was.
North landed the sleigh on the very outskirts of Darwin. Tooth was using her connection with her fairies to let the fairies find them.
Jack jumped out of the sleigh and twirled his staff around. Tooth was the first to ask, "Jack will you be okay in this heat?"
He stopped twirling his staff and looked at her almost surprised and replied, "Yeah. My powers are just slightly more weaker in the heat. I only start getting side effects from heat if I stay in it for more than twelve hours, so I'll say we're good for now."
It seemed like they were learning something new about Jack every hour. It was in seconds that the fairies showed up. Baby Tooth was instantly buzzing around Jack chirping happily. They hadn't seen each other for a very long time.
"I missed you too, Baby Tooth." Jack smiled.
Tooth had to pretend to loudly clear her throat to get Baby Tooth's attention. Baby Tooth reluctantly went over to Tooth along with nine other fairies.
"Okay ladies, the fearlings have been travelling around fast and we don't know how they're getting by so quickly. We need you girls to keep a large look out. We'll be here for a while to see if we can see their method of travelling. If you do see them you already know what to do."
She gave the fairies a short nod to go off. All of them did a mini salute and flew off, all except Baby Tooth. She began a somewhat chatter about something at Tooth.
Tooth sighed and said, "Fine, but if it get's too dangerous, you have to get away."
Baby Tooth nodded and quickly flew over and she sat on Jack's shoulder.
"She didn't want to go, did she?" Jack asked with a smile.
Tooth replied, "She insisted that she can keep an eye on you. She worries about you a lot."
Baby Tooth chimed in agreement. She could be just as stubborn as Tooth if it came to someones well being.
"Okay so where do we start?" Jack asked.
"Well I would say they're travelling through the shadows, but our patrols are monitoring that, so they would have seen them by now if they were." Tooth stated.
"They are around here. I feel it. In my bell-" North was interrupted by Bunny hissing,
"Shhhhhhh!" At first North thought it was because Bunnymund was bothered by his saying, until he noticed Bunny's ears twitching.
Sandy hovered a dreamsand question mark infront of Bunny.
He responded with a demand, "Everyone get back in the sleigh. North go that way." He pointed to the north-east. They all got back in the sleigh and North flew the sleigh following Bunnymund's directions.
"Stop for a second. Do you hear that?" They floated in mid air over many homes. It was silent for a few seconds until a child's scream was heard. Just like what Jack had heard before, it was the scream from a child waking up from a nightmare.
The first scream was followed by three more screams. Baby Tooth gave out a loud chirp as she pointed at a dark figure jumping on the roof tops.
North went full speed with the sleigh as he made the reindeer go faster. The dark figure was fast. The sleigh could barely keep up. It became a very rickety ride for everyone due to the speed they were going. They were just going faster and faster. Bunnymund was becoming extremely freaked out.
"Duck!" North called out quickly as they were going past a tree with a large branch sticking out.
Jack almost didn't duck in time making Bunnymund more anxious. Jack noticed and joked, "Hey Bunny, imagine if we fell out of the sleigh at this speed."
Bunnymund did nothing but glare at Jack as he said that. Jack smirked.
Suddenly it looked like the figure disappeared. They needed to make a quick stop. North quickly pulled the reins on the sleigh and they all came to a halt very quickly. It caused everyone to fall over forwards except for North and Bunny.
North was used to going that speed since it was his sleigh, while Bunny had dug his feet and nails into the sleigh holding on for dear life. "Never go that fast. Again!" Bunnymund panted realizing that he was still alive.
Tooth only tripped a small way forward, she scooped up Baby Tooth from the ground and saw she was pretty content with the ride.
While both Sandy and Jack were harshly thrown, Jack was the one that seemed to have the bad luck, smacking his head pretty hard. But Jack had a hard head, so he was generally fine.
His whole body alone with Sandy's were in awkward positions due to the fall. Jack's staff was somewhat between his legs. If it was the pain in his head he felt or if he was just getting used to it Jack's vision flashed a golden yellow then completely shifted.
He watched through the pair of the eyes of someone else, or more something else. He saw the sleigh from a far, it was hovering above the ocean. Suddenly he was forced to look down into the water and it dived into the water.
Upon contact with the water, his vision returned to normal. It was by far the quickest vision type thing he had experienced. Jack stood back up.
North turned from the front seat of the sleigh and asked, "Are you alright?" He noticed a speck of blood drip out of Jack's nose. North assumed that Jack had hit his nose when they fell forwards.
Jack didn't seem too bothered by it as he carelessly wiped it away. Suddenly it clicked for Jack. Deep. Dark. Hidden. Connected to every country.
"The water." He barely even breathed out the words.
"What?" Bunny asked aloud.
Jack said it much louder and clearer, "The water. They are travelling through the ocean." Jack poked his head over the back of the sleigh and saw a small golden glow of eyes travelling through the water, it was about to go past the sleigh. The others copied Jack and saw.
Jack took a few steps back. Bunnymund saw and figured out what Jack was planning to do, "Do you ever think about what you're about to do?" He hoped that saying that would stop him.
"Not really." Jack managed to say as he leaped off the sleigh into the water before anyone could stop or grab him.
As they heard the water splash, Bunnymund yelled, "Reckless little ratbag! What is he thinking?"
It was only a few seconds before they saw a giant blue light explode with in the water.
