Indigo stood in disbelief as she saw Mr. Overland by the chopped tree that killed her. She was entirely speechless at the sight, as well as Jack and Dottie. Damien not so much, as well with Pitch who just looked like he had no emotions at all. But it wasn't just the scene of Agatha's death. The look on Mr. Overland's face...it was completely stone cold, with no emotion or remorse whatsoever. It looked like he intended the tree to fall on top of her to kill her!
"I can't believe your father would do that to me, Jack!" Indigo yelled in surprise, as Jack just stared at the image before him.
"Same." He finally said as Dottie walked up to them and placed a comforting hand on Jack and Indigo's shoulders. "I mean, he wouldn't do that on purpose!"
"Well, how do you explain the look of pure evil on his face?!" Indigo yelled as she pushed Dottie's hand off of her shoulder. "He purposely wanted to kill me!"
"He didn't like you, Agatha." Pitch said as he leaned up against a tree with his arms crossed over his chest.
"I can see that, Pitch!"
"And to be perfectly honest...I don't blame him." The Nightmare King had obviously hit a nerve there, making Indigo glare at him with her eyes now glowing a bright red out of anger.
"Indigo, calm down." Dottie said as she went in front of her and Pitch. "He's just mean. So ignore him."
"Not a problem." Indigo declared as she looked away while Damien made the scene fall.
"Wait..." Jack began as he looked around. "...you don't think my father is here with us, do you?"
"I doubt it!" Damien yelled. "I mean, only Manny can create a spirit. So there's no way he let your dad become..." As he was saying this, an evil chuckle rang through the air, echoing like they were in an empty cave, and making everyone look around in wonder and fear. Well, all but Pitch, who only looked in wonder and anger.
"I find it fascinating that you all are debating this." A voice said before a man walked out of the woods behind Dottie, aiming a knife towards her. "But you should watch your backs." And with that, he threw the knife, but only to get it caught in a wall of vines thanks to Dottie's powers.
"Nice try." She said with a smirk as she turned around with the vines falling as well as the knife, only to scream at the sight of the man, which caught Jack's attention. The Winter Spirit ran over to her and went in front of her with an arm out to protect her and glared at the man before them, with Indigo making a blue sand scythe as well as Pitch with his black sand.
"Jackson...you're looking well." The man said with a regal sound to his voice. He was wearing an all black princely suit with some red hear and there, as well as red boots. His hair was the same brown as Jack's when he was alive, but his eyes were black, where they would have been brown.
"Dad? Is that really you?" Jack asked surprised but still protecting Dottie.
"Yes, son...it's me." He said as he looked at Indigo and scuffed. "You're here?! I'd stay away from my son if I were you!"
"The heck with your son! I want to murder you for murdering me!" Indigo yelled as she went to swipe her scythe, only to be stopped by Damien.
"DON'T!" The Spirit of Death yelled. "He can't be harmed!"
"He's right." The man began as he chuckled. "I'm not apart of the human-spirit world."
"Than what are you!?" Pitch asked as he walked up to the front of the group, with anger on his face. The man smirked at the Nightmare King before he swiped his hand towards him, sending him back into the tree with a hard bang.
"Pitch!" Dottie yelled as she ran up to him to help him stand up. She may have known he was a bad guy, but she still cared for everyone. Especially since he helped Jack find her.
"Let's just say...I'm from down below." The man answered before an evil chuckle escaped his mouth.
"Daniel!" A female voice called out, making him look behind him to see Oracle standing there with a stern look on her face..
"Aura...you're looking good." He said with an unamused attitude.
"You leave Jack and his friends alone! This world has no use for the likes of a demon!" Oracle yelled, making Daniel scuff and disappear in a puff of smoke.
"Very well. But I will be back." He said through the air, before Oracle ran up to Jack and the others.
"You guys okay?" She asked worried.
"We're fine, mom." Jack said as Dottie walked up with Pitch, Indigo and Damien. "Thanks for showing up when you did."
"Sure thing, dear." Oracle began. "But we have a problem."
"What kind of problem?" Pitch asked as he stood up and nodded to Dottie as a thanks. Oracle looked at the Nightmare King with sympathy, making Pitch's eyes widen in surprise. "No...not her!"
"She's returned, Pitch!" Oracle began. "My father told me himself!"
"But I sent her back down there!"
"Uh, who the heck are we talking about?" Jack asked confused, more confused than the other 3.
"We're talking about the partner I used to have!" Pitch declared with his eyes closed in frustration and his fingers on the bridge of his nose.
"What partner?" Indigo asked surprised.
"Her name...is Endora Noir."
XXXXXXXXX
Daniel Overland appeared in a dark cave, while he was walking in further to find a room with glowing lanterns on the ceiling and torches lit on the ground. A big globe was in the back of the cave, with a girl standing in front of it, with her long black hair and black clothing covered back to the entrance.
Daniel smirked at the sight of his partner as he walked up to her and looked at the globe himself. "Hello, Endora."
"You scared them?" She asked with her completely black eyes shining against her deadly pale skin.
"Yep."
"Do they know I'm back?"
"I'm not sure. But I'm pretty sure a certain King of Fear knows." Daniel smirked again and looked at her, with her look back at him, her own black lipstick covered lips smirking in return.
"Good." She said as she walked away from the globe and grabbed her big black wand staff from the table, with a red orb in the center, covered in vines that were attached to the base. "Let's have them worry, and fear. After all, that is a gift of our home." She giggled evilly as the red orb shined a bit and then went back to being dull. "Soon, Pitchie...we'll be partners again."
Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful Holiday!
