Just a little headcanon based on a video on youtube i recently watched that wondered why they didn't put any backstory on Pitch Black the nightmare king and the main vilillian of the movie while in the books he has a (rather tragic) backstory. So i took it upon myself to write Pitch's backstory in the movie

ENJOY

[The South Pole]

We can see Jack runs up the side of an ice cliff and is about to chuck his tooth-box into the ocean, but can't do it... he just can't... the memories inside are just to valuable to him...

"I thought this might happen. They never really believed in you" Pitch called... apearing behind jack... looking at jack with a solemn look. " I was just trying to show you that. But I understand"

Angrily Jack reels on Pitch, blasting him with ice... wanting to let off his frustration on the older spirit who was the cause of him getting kicked out. "You don't understand anything!"

"No?!" Pitch shouts back while the two man switch blows. "I do know what it's like to be cast out!" Pitch dodges a a blow from jack then backfires with his nightmare sand just as Jack launches a flurry of ice with a mighty battle roar. The clash of the two mans power creates a fog in which Pitch dissapears for a moment. "To not be believed in!"

Jack spins around at the sound of Pitch's voice, ready to attack once more, but he halts when he sees the look in Pitch's eyes... thesame empty longing look he has been bearing the past 300 years... causing him to lower his staff.

Pitch grinned when he saw this... seeing his plan started to work. Jack was listening to him... if he now played this off wel... he might be able to turn him to his side...

"I Was a general once jack... i worked for the man in the moon just as you are doing now..." something changed in Pitch's eyes... a flash of blue that shot throught his eyed. But it came and went so quickly jack assumed it was just a play off the light. "I had a daughter... a life... and a bright future ahead off me... back then" Pitch looked down. "Back when i was still... Kozmotis Pitchner.. "

As pitch said this we look throught Jacks eyes and see Pitch... still as Kozmotis with his family at the kitchen table. Pitch still looked the way he did in the current timeline but he was wearing a generals uniform instead of his black robes.

"I vollenteered to help gather up the darklings that roamed throught the galaxy and were causing trouble to people's all over... and when this was done... i even volenteered to guard the prison holding them"

Pitch continued to tell as the vieuw changed to a giant white hall with a single golden gate from behind which a thousand shadows seem to be moving.

"I was all alone there... guarding them day and night... i thought i could witstand their whispers..." Pitch's voice sounded hollow and sad as the man in the memory opened a locket around his neck. "That my love for my daughter Emily-Jane would be enough to keep me safe... but i was wrong"

We can see the shadow beings call out to the general with Emily- Jane's voice. Pleading him to release her. With shocked eyes Jack looks on as this clearly fails for a very long time judging by the shadow moving throught the room... indicating the passing days.

"But i was wrong... i was so very wrong..."

But after what jack assumes has to be months off torture Cozmotis finally snaps and bolts open the gate... making thousands and thousands of darklings enter his system. Kozmotiz screamed "Emily-Jane!" On top off his voice, before the shadowlings took over and Pitch Black rose up for the very first time. Throwing back his head as he barks out a evil lauch that would give anyone the cold chills...

The scene snaps back to Pitch and Jack standing at Antartica. Pitch looking down after the memory, while Jack looked at him with a dumbfounded look. Not having expected to hear this from the nightmare king...

"After this i was deemed lost and cast aside... no one ever tried to reach for Kozmotis... not even his beloved daughter Emily-Jane..." Pitch dissapeared from sight for a moment. Appearing right behind Jack. "So you see Jack... were more alike then you think..."

Jack looked towards Pitch standing behind him with a neutral face. If what Pitch said was true (and he hardly believed anything of the story was true) they indeed had a lot more in comman then he first thought. Not that he for a moment even thought about joining Pitch now that he knew what caused the boogeyman to do what he did. But it was something he would have to ask the guardians about later...

"So, what do you say...jack?" Pitch asked, streching out his hand towards the guardian of fun. "We don't have to be alone jack... i believe in you... and i know childeren will two"

"I...in me?" Jack asked shocked and in disbelieve, because that was the thing he wanted most. Could it be Pitch actually knew of a way to make people believe in him.

"Y..Yes!" Pitch smirked, before pointing to the mixture of ice and black sand that had made a sculpture in the middle of the open snow field. "Look at what we can do together!"

At this Jack also looked at the giant sculpture that looked like a giant hand reaching for the sky... a beatifull ice blue and black mixture made up the structure. It sure was a sight to behold.

"What goes together better then cold and dark" Pitch smirked, pointing from jack to himself as he said this. "We could make them believe!"

Pitch dissapeared from sight for a moment and to Jacks greath shock suddenly re-appeared on his other side.

"We could give them a world were everything... everything" Pitch held out his arms like he was holding the globe in his arms "is.."

"Pitch black..." Jack cut off the boogeyman before he could say it, a angry tone in his voice already betraying his answer.

"And jack frost... two... they'll believe in both of us..." Pitch smirked, clearly showing this was a genuine invetation to join his side.

"No they will fear both of us and that's not what i want!" Jack retored, before amgrily stalking off the other way. "Now for the last time... leave me alone!"

"We failed! How did he Not sympathize with Pitchners story?" The darklings inside Pitch thought to each other in a rather shocked and suprised way. "Well! It is to bad then! If we can't make him join us we'll have to make sure he won't get in our way!"

With these thoughts the darklings smirked as they looked towards Kozmotis, locked behind a glass wall in a far coner of his own mind, sitting on a bench as he looked down at a locket he held in his hands.

No one can stop us now

We see how Pitch breaks Jacks staff, making the winter spirit groan as he clutched his stomach in agony.

Those blasted guardians will Fall

Pitch slams Jack into the side of the ice with his black sand and lets Jack drop into the same crevice as Baby Tooth. Pitch laughs as he drops the broken staff into the fissure with them, and leaves.

This world is doomed to be ours
