The entire team was destroyed, and everyone was gone. Pitch knew exactly how to tear them apart. He had a plan, and he knew they weren't a team yet and hit their strongest members.

Hiccup was the one holding them together, so he knew he needed to eliminate him.

Toothless was also their most powerful weapon in the arsenal, so they needed to get that on their side in order to stand a chance.

Elsa and Jack were the only two who could hurt him, so he needed to do what he could to tear them away.

Elsa was always afraid of hurting someone she loved with her powers for a second time, who better to hurt than the first boy she had a crush on?

Jack always was worried he'd never discover who he was and why this had happened to him. That was something that someone as powerful as Pitch could easily work off of.

Rapunzel could heal any of their injuries, so she was an obstacle they needed to remove.

Sisu was powerful, but on her own, she wouldn't stand a chance against Pitch's forces alone. Anna and Raya were the only two that remained of the original team. Valka, Sisu, and Eret were the only resources they had left.

And all they could really do was take Hiccup to Arendelle and hope there was someone there to heal him.

While that was happening, Jack has retreated to the only place he believed that he couldn't hurt anyone. He escaped to the South Pole where he stood out on the edge of an iceberg and ran with his hand raised to toss the memories away.

But as soon as he reached the end of the burg, he stopped himself from throwing it. Groaning in frustration, he looked down at the box and looked at the picture of himself that was attached, showing he once had brown hair.

Ironically making him look more like Hiccup's brother.

Jack was angry at himself for what he had done. If he had just stayed put, they wouldn't have been caught, Pitch and his goons wouldn't have discovered the Sanctuary, Hiccup wouldn't be dying, Elsa wouldn't have run away, Rapunzel wouldn't be missing, Toothless wouldn't have been captured.

Pitch was right, all he does is make a mess wherever he goes. And leaves others behind to suffer for it.

Jack groaned and grunts in frustration as he looked into the air and pulled out the canister Madame Web gave him, seeing there was still one part missing now ever since Hiccup found himself with his mother.

It was now Raya, Elsa and Anna, Hiccup, but there were still two missing.

Looking up to the sky, Jack screamed as loud as he could to Madame Web. "Come on! You said we were supposed to be able to stop them! Well, I'm through being your pawn! You come down here and clean up the mess!" He then tossed her canister as far as he could and watched as it splashed in the water. "Because we failed..."

"I thought this might happen." Jack heard the voice of Pitch say as he was standing at the bottom of the peak Jack was currently on. "They never really believed in you. I was trying to show you that." Jack's anger grew at the man who hurt his friend and turned to face him, just slightly. "But I understand."

Jack then swung his staff, sending a blast of frost at him, causing Pitch to react by shielding himself. Jack then raced down the peak and leaped into the air to fly over Pitch's shield.

"You don't understand anything!" Jack stated as he landed and shot another blast at him.

"No?" Pitch asked as he shielded the attack and retaliated this time. "I don't know what it's like to cast out?"

Jack dodged his attack and leaped into the air to avoid a second attack and let out a giant battle cry before shooting the biggest wave of energy he's ever shot off and Pitch created the biggest shield he could.

The collision causes a giant dust cloud that blinds the two as they look around for one another.

"To long for...a family?" Pitch asked, causing Jack to question and calm down. "All those years in the shadows I thought no one knows what this feels like. Now I see I was wrong." He then approached Jack as he put the staff down. "We don't have to be alone, Jack. I believe in you. And I know they will too."

"In me?" Jack asked, starting to feel temped.

"Yes!" Pitch said as he gestured to what their colliding powers had created, which was a cold and dark spike-filled creation. "Look at what we can do! What goes better than cold and dark? We can make them believe!" Jack then looked at his reflection and knew this wasn't something he wanted. "We can give them a world where everything is-"

"Pitch black?" Jack asked him.

Pitch stopped his little speech and looked concerned he lost him. "And Jack Frost, too. They will believe in us."

"No, they'll fear both of us. And that's not what I want." Jack stated as he started to walk away. "Now for the last time, leave me alone!"

Pitch saw that his work on Jack wasn't enough to break him for enough to make him join them, so it was time for Plan B.

Remove him from the equation.

"Very well." Pitch supposed. "You want to be left alone. Done. But first..."

Jack was still walking away when he suddenly heard some muffled screaming and turned to see Rapunzel gaged and bound with Pitch holding her arms that were tied by a rope.

"Rapunzel!" Jack cries as he quickly flew back over and stopped a few inches from the two and raised the staff.

"The staff, Jack!" Pitch demanded from him.

Jack started to put together he was getting him out of the picture so he could do what he needed to do.

"You have a bad habit of interfering," Pitch stated. "Now hand it over, and I'll let her go."

Rapunzel seemed to be telling him not to, knowing without it he's powerless. Jack looked back and forth between Rapunzel and Pitch, wondering if it would be worth the risk of taking him out to save her life.

Jack watch as frost started to form all over the staff and he saw there was no need for him to get anyone else killed. Hiccup was already enough on his mind, he wasn't going to add her.

Rapunzel watched in shock as he handed over the staff willingly and looked at Rapunzel with his hand out.

"Alright, now let her go," Jack demanded Pitch.

Pitch just stood there with the staff in one hand and Rapunzel in the other and a grin on his face. "No." Jack became shocked at this and Rapunzel continued to try and escape the grasp. "You said you wanted to be alone. So be alone!"

That's when Pascal came out and tried to fight off Pitch, earning an annoyed grunt and getting kicked by Pitch.

"Pascal!" Jack cried as he looked back just in time to watch as Pitch broke his staff, causing Jack to feel like he had just gotten hit in the stomach.

Pitch then tossed a wave of darkness at Jack, sending him flying into the same pit Pascal fell into. Pitch walked over and laughed at the sight of a downed Jack as he tossed the pieces down to remind him of his failure before vanishing with Rapunzel.

Pitch appeared in the woods, right across from Corona, and dropped Rapunzel, finally free from the binds.

Rapunzel broke down and cried at the reminder of what happened and looked to Pitch with a snarl. "You're a monster!"

"Thank you. I try my best." Pitch took it as a compliment and gave a sinister grin. "Don't worry. I'll keep you by my side. After all, the things I can do to stay alive forever."

Rapunzel then took off running and tried her best to escape him. When she got a small distance away, she hid and was going to wait it out when she heard what sounded like fighting.

"Rapunzel!" Gothel called out, shocking Rapunzel.

"Mother?" Rapunzel asked as she retraced her steps and found her mother, while she couldn't see it in the dark, with her skin showing off her age and most of her hair turning gray.

"Oh, my precious girl," Gothel said as she ran over to Rapunzel and she did the same. "Are you alright? Are you hurt?"

"How...how did you find me?" Rapunzel asked.

"I was so worried about you, dear. So I followed you." Gothel explained, knowing Rapunzel wouldn't exactly question her other that much. "I saw this man try to attack you. Let's go before he returns."

She then ran off and Rapunzel looked out to Corona, the kingdom that fell because of them. Their actions caused all of this. Even if she wanted to, she couldn't return to her friends. Looking back, she saw Gothel waiting with a lantern and her hands opened to receive her.

Crying, Rapunzel ran over and engulfed her mother in for a hug. After a minute of hugging, Rapunzel and Gothel started to make their way home.

Jack was knocked unconscious for a moment or two and when he awoke, he looked to see Pascal was laying, shaking against the snow. He crawled over and picked the poor guy up and sighed. "You okay, Buddy?"

Pascal got up and began to shiver.

"Sorry. All I can do is keep you cold." Jack said as he leaned on the wall and sat on his knees. "I don't get what she saw in me. What do I do that actually means anything?"

Pascal then crawled into his pocket and pushed out both containers. Both?

Jack looked and saw that the one Madame Web gave him, the one he just got rid of was right back in his pocket.

"How?" Jack asked as he looked it over.

"You think I couldn't make that come back?" Madame Web asked, cussing Jack to jump in shock as he looked and saw she was there. But she looked more like a ghost, meaning she wasn't really with him and it was just a projection of herself. "If I didn't, you would've lost it a few hundred times."

Jack scoffed and lay on the wall again. "What do you want? Here to see how we failed?"

"Sure." Madame Web supposed. "You've given up as far as I can see."

"And how many timelines does that happen in?" Jack asked her.

"Twenty." Web answered honestly. "Suppose it's twenty-one now."

"You're not really helpful." Jack took notice of.

"You wanted the truth." Web shrugged. "I'm a powerful being who can see all outcomes, but in all of them when I interrupt the process, the world ends because of me. So I guess we're both screwups."

"At least you can make a difference," Jack stated. "You can save lives, be a real hero."

"And you can't?" Web asked him.

"No, I can't!" Jack stated as he jumped up and stormed around. "I can't be a hero. I can't be a friend! I...I can't even be a member of a family. You're just telling me stuff I already know! I know who I am. I'm Jack Frost, I make a mess whoever I go. I leave people behind to suffer the consequences of my actions! I know who I am! Why do I need you to tell me who I am?"

Web smiled and looked down at his memory's container. She picked it up and held it out to Jack to take it. "But you don't know who you are, Jack. Because if you did...you'd know why I chose you."

"Jack?" The voice called from the box.

Jack looked up and saw she was telling him to take it. He decided to do just that and then tapped the button that started to open the memories of his life...

Back in the tower, Gothel was finishing up cleaning Rapunzel's hair from all the flowers when her hair was pinned, the dust from the forest, ice, and water from the Sanctuary fight.

"There." Gothel was happy to say after she picked the last flower out. "It never happened." She then got up and took the basket of flowers with her. "Now, wash your hands for dinner. I'm making hazelnut soup."

Rapunzel didn't seem as thrilled as she was worried for her friends, wondering if Hiccup was even alive anymore. Gothel seems to have noticed this and used it to guilt her further.

"I really tried to warn you, Rapunzel." Gothel reminded her with fake sympathy. "I tried to warn you of what was out there. The world is dark and selfish and cruel. If it finds even the slightest ray of sunshine, it destroys it." She then closed the curtain and left her alone.

Rapunzel looked down at her hands and showed she had the piece of cloth from Corona. She looked at the cloth and laid back in her bed. She didn't even have Pascal anymore to help her.

She lays back and puts the cloth down as she then looks at her paintings. But then as she sat there, she notices something peculiar.

The same sun mark on this cloth is all around her drawings. Everywhere. Either intentionally or unintentionally. She would just always draw what came to mind, and she always saw that one marker in her mind, and never noticed why.

Suddenly, a glimpse of a memory comes back of the mark, and she sees the king and Queen from the mural in her mind, in person. It seemed to be her as a baby looking up and seeing the sun. The mural for the lost princess comes back into mind and she realizes something.

She's the lost princess.

She came out of her memories and panted in shock and awe and made her question how she could have missed that. Corona wasn't lost. She was still here to stand in its place.

Jack started to peer into his memories as he saw he indeed had a life before Jack Frost. He saw the girl who was always calling to him was his sister. He was a goofball who always cared and just tried to help others while making them laugh.

He saw the day he died and was reborn as Jack Frost. He sacrificed himself to save his sister and died protecting her.

That's how he became Jack Frost.

Protecting those he cared about.

Jack gasped as the memories flooded back in and he looked to see Madame Web was still there and Pascal was staring at him.

"Did...did you see that?!" Jack asked him.

Pascal nodded his head negatively as he missed whatever just happened.

"It was me!" Jack cheered as he picked Pascal up and jumped around. "I had a family! I had a sister. And I...I saved her!" He then looked up to Madame Web and smiled. "That's why you chose me. I'm...I'm a Guardian."

Madame Web nodded in confirmation.

That's when the box started to glow in his pocket and when he pulled it out, he saw the last two spaces were being filled. The first one revealed Jack's face, similar to the memories, but this one had his white hair. The second one showed up and it revealed that it was the sun of Corona.

Jack was confused as to how that happened when suddenly the box started to open, and Jack couldn't wait to see what was inside. Whatever it is that was locked away from them was now able to be used to fight Pitch.
