Even with injured leg, it didn't take long before Bunnymund was back. He was the fastest guardian after all. When he got to Jack, he saw a frozen tear on Jack's cheek. The pooka had exepted it. He didn't say anything, just reached out and picked the frozen tear off from the teenager's face. Well, it was really hard to wipe off a frozen tear, right?

"Come on, mate. We got one into safety, five to go", Bunny said giving a small smile when Jack nodded, not looking directly into his eyes.

They left from the room. Back into smoke and blindness. This time Jack stayed close to Bunny so they wouldn't get lost from each other again.

"Let's search that room next!" Bunny yelled when they got far away from the first room. Jack didn't say anything, because he actually didn't hear what the pooka said. The noice was simply too much.

"Bunny!" Jack shout. He didn't even know what he was going to say. He didn't know what made him to do it. He just pulled the giant rabbit on the ground with him. For second they just laid there, bouth of them in shock.

"Frostbite, what the..." Bunny started. If he ever ended that sentence, Jack would have never knew what to answer to him.

Luckily... Or unluckily he never had to explain his weird action. Because second later, the second engineer, the one that was in the airplane in the room they had just been, explored.

The voice was nothing like in the movies. In movies the explosions were always just one loud "bum" but now... It was like many explosions at the same time. They heard how the wall fell down and everything in the other room was destroyed. The noice was unbelieveble. The ground shake like a boat in high waves.

The first reaction was to bouth of them to cover their ears from noices. To Jack it was a bit harder sence he didn't want to let go of his staff. He almost got a heart attack when one huge piece of the roof fell right next to his head. The roof was giving in.

With pure instings Bunny moved closer to Jack and tried his best to shield the kid's body from falling pieces of the building's roof. Maybe it was because Jack was still a kid and Bunny was a guardian of childhood, or insting to protect your friend in danger, but eighter way Bunny laid on the kid and tried to cover the boy's head with his hands and sheald Jack's most important insides with pooka's body.

Jack hold his staff more tightly and tried to figure out what was going on. He knocked the floor with his staff, making the ice cover the ground and shield their bodies from the falling pieces. Bunny didn't move an inch, just laid there and still tried to keep the kid safe.

It just didn't seem to end. To them it felt like hours to wait for it to stop. But slowly the noices went away and only that was left was two of the still unexpored engineers that kept their own loud noice. But compared to the explosion, that was more like a bird sing. A bird that was far away. It felt so quiet now.

Slowly, Bunny let go of the winter spirit who dared to start to move a bit when he realized the danger was over. His legs moved. His arms moved. Nothing felt broken. He may have survived far better than he had expected.

"Bunny, you okay?" He asked. Bouth of their eyes widened when eighter of then could hear his voice. Bunny saw his mouth move, but didn't hear what he said. Jack felt the voice come out from his throath but didn't hear it come out from his mouth. It was really weird feeling.

When the first shock was over, Bunny nodded, rising a thumb to show that he was okay. Then he pointed to Jack, who nodded. They were okay. Deaf, but okay.

Jack turned to look around. The ice shield he had created had melted away in just seconds ago. The reason was surely the rising temperature. The explosion had made the room burn. There were pieces of the building everywhere. Dust and smoke mixed in the air making it hard to see anything or even breath.

Jack didn't hear Bunny moving. He just felt two big paws pulling him against strong chest and he was carried out from the room. From the heat. When the pooka shut the door behind them, they were standing in new room that was still in quite good condition. Without saying anything -sence it was pointless- Bunny put him down, not on his feet but to sit on the floor.

The winter spirit looked comfused at the pooka. First the rabbit tried to say something in old habit remembering then that the other spirit couldn't hear him. Then he gestured something.

So this was how Sandy felt when he had to explain everything without a word.

First Jack was just comfused about what Bunny tried to say. Then he realized how hot he was. His body temperature was propably at the same level as normal human's. Way too hot for winter spirit. He couldn't feel his legs from exhaustion. No wonder that the guardian of hope desited to carry him out from there.

He rised his hand to stop Bunny doing stupid tries to explain him what was going on. He understood it himself. He smiled a bit before he nodded to Bunny. Thank you.

The pooka sighed, looking a bit annoyed but Jack knew he was just scared and worried. Then Bunny showed new gestures. Stay here and cool down. I go and look if here is more kids. How long time you need?

Jack rised three fingers. Three minutes. Bunny nodded and jumped away from him, starting to ran around the room as quick as he could. Jack laid his staff against his chest so it could freeze his body faster.

That was when he saw something huge and red running towards him.

North, Sandy and Tooth arrived. He couldn't help but smile. He saw North and Tooth's mouths move fast as they tried to ask what was going on, but he didn't hear them. He just shook his head, pointed his ear.

"I'm deaf!" He tried to say outloud, even thought he didn't hear his voice. Including the looks of the others he may have yelled far louder than he had wanted. But right now he didn't care. "So is Bunny!"

Sandy jumped forward to him and made a sandfigure of a child and a guestion mark. Jack showed five fingers. Then Jack made a gesture of explosion and shoved two fingers. Sandy made a figure of Bunny and Jack pointed his hand around the room then he gave two thumbs up, then pointed at his leg, then again the room and thumb down, then his own body again, made a gesture of feeling hot and a thumb down, but then he showed thumbs up again. Sandy nodded.

Tooth and North didn't seem to understand two disabled's voiceless communication but Jack and Sandy undestood each other very well. They had always had some inside jokes and after they had got even closer Jack had started to understand the little man's thoughts a bit better than before. North was still the best to understand the guardian of deams but now it was hard to follow the communication when Jack too was silent. That was really unusual.

Sandy turned to other guardians and made a figure of five kids and arrows to any direction.

"But Jack doesn't look good, we should..." Tooth started but Sandy shook his head and smiled. Jack will be okay. So will Bunny.

With that, they left the room to look for other five children. Or four, as it turned out when the pooka really had found one kid from this room.

Bunny ran past him, carrying the kid in his arms. The kid cried, but looked unharmed in other ways. Lucky one that this one believed in the Easter bunny. Jack had no idea what they would do if one of the kids didn't believe in eighter of them. Then it would be almost impossible to them to safe the kids.

In just seconds Bunny ran back to the winter spirit.

"Can you stand?" Jack saw Bunny almost yelling but he still heard him only just. He nodded, standing up with a bit help from his staff. Their hearing was coming back. Well, Jack douped that their hearing would never be as good as before but at last they could hear something.

"The others are here, they are looking for the kids already", Jack yelled, yet his voice sounted like it was coming from the other side of the wall.

Without saying anything else, they ran upstairs to other rooms. The time was running out. They had no idea when the next engineer would explore and they had no idea where the four kids were. They ran inside the room in next floor.

Well now things just turned interesting.
