Ok, I finished this chapter, whew! I had a few blocks while writing this, its a pain...
But here it is everyone, the question you've all been DYING to know... will the guardians save Jack!? This is the chapter people! This is it! XD So hyped for writing this one! Omg having massive heart attack! Start reading before I die here! XP
Evil Jack hurled himself at Tooth first and pinned her to the wall. Ice started to consume Tooth as Evil Jack released her knowing the ice would eventually conceal her and strike her with cold ice spears to death. Slow and painful. Beautiful.
Tooth whimpered with anticipation. She could sense the ice spears forming. "Jack..." She wailed. "I know your in there..." She directed, Evil Jack faced her with his demon eyes. "We love you, Jack Frost. We're sorry!" She choked. "Come back to us, we will never leave you again! I'm sorry!" She bawled, an ice spear nudged against her leg. "Don't do this! Don't leave us!" She managed to squeak out before the ice spear started to gnaw through her feathers, creating a gaping hole in Tooth's leg that gushed and spewed out blood. She cried in agony. Another spear aimed at her arm.
The others heard Tooth's agonizing shrill that pierced through the walls. The boy guardians bolted up as they rushed to find each other before finding Tooth to break her free. It was a lot harder than the boys thought since they did not have their weapons. And Evil Jack was on their heels.
"Sandy! Keep trying to thaw through! Bunny and I will hold Jack off as long as we can!" North demanded as he released his scarred hands from Tooth's ice capsule. They were scarred from trying to break Tooth free with his bare hands but with little success.
The room was echoing with Tooth's cries of pain. It was traumatizing everyone's minds. Their ears were going to bleed. Tooth had a fang of ice in her leg, now one in her arm, and another ice fang slowly creeping up to Tooth's neck. This was surely the final blow.
Sandy created a large golden wedge and was able to break Tooth out just in time for the jagged ice spear cut Tooth's throat on her escape. Sandy gently knocked some dream sand into Tooth's eyes as he watched the pain vanish and her violet eyelids close. He placed her down and returned to his friends.
North was panting, fighting without weapons is easier said than done. "Jack! Son! It's us! The guardians!"
Evil Jack snarled and shot a chunk of ice at North. It hit one side of his ribcage and his arm. Everyone heard the noise crack! It was North's ribcage and arm bones, they shattered. North collapsed to the floor and had a coughing fit clutching his side tightly with his good arm. The tips of his ribcage were broken and bent in such a way that if North moved in the wrong way ever so slightly, the tip of his ribcage wound bend into his heart.
Bunny luckily was a rabbit and moving about was an easy task. But when your mind was on running for your life and worrying about your friends, it became a difficult task, a stressful one. "Frostbite! Mate! Come come now! Come on Frostbite! Snap out of it! Please!"
Evil Jack grunted as he rammed into Bunny, locking ice cuffs around his feet and hands. Evil Jack then blew some snow all over Bunny. It seemed harmless enough... until Bunny felt his bones start to quake. Bunny could feel his bones turn cold, frigid and fragile. He began to shiver uncontrollably. It was cold and it hurt. The frost was clinging on to Bunny's bones and thawing through them.
Evil Jack was making the guardians death as slowly and as painfully as possible. It was just him and Sandy now. The other guardians were conscious but couldn't move. All Bunny could do was shake and try to focus on the scene, his bones were disintegrating by the minute. North tried to budge to get a view without puncturing his own heart. And Tooth had woken during the commotion was trying to stay awake but she was loosing a lot of blood.
The children finally arrived but when they did they stopped in their tracks, their eyes bloodshot at the wounded guardians. They knew they couldn't help them even if they tried so they ran next to Sandy who gestured them to come close.
"This feels similar. Like that time Pitch killed you?" Evil Jack snickered. "Well, this time, you won't come back!"
Sandy could not allow Evil Jack to attack first and get the upper hand especially with the children at his side. He must do his duty as a guardian to protect the children no matter the cost. Even if it did mean dying again and not coming back. As long as his friends, the children, and Jack Frost were safe. Sandy unleashed two whips.
It was a daunting battle. Evil Jack was reckless and aggressive, he wanted to win this to please his master, desperately. He was hungry to end this war. And he was close to doing so, yet so far away. He had to admit, the man behind the dreams was a decent fighter. It was hard to get close to him with those darn whips! It was time for what Jack does best... have a little fun.
"Come on, fat man! You need to do better than that!" Evil Jack taunted.
Sandy spewed sand steam out of his ears.
"Shut you mouth!" Cupcake ordered.
Everyone gasped, including the wounded guardians. Cupcake should have kept her mouth shut! Sandy recoiled his whips.
Evil Jack glided over to the children, most specifically Cupcake. "Excuse me?" He said coldly with a look of queer on his face.
The twins were shaking their heads meaning that Cupcake said nothing. All Monty could do was hide behind his friends. Jamie and Pippa bravely stood at their tough friend's side but were nervous on what Jack was going to do next.
Evil Jack raised his staff at the children who cowered back on sight. They shut their eyes waiting to be attacked. Sandy took a out large hammer ready to slug Jack in case if he dared to touch the children. But instead... Evil Jack quickly shot a blast of ice at Sandy. The shot flew him back and pinned him on a wall. Ice started to form at Sandy's feet and rise. The ice would soon consume Sandy entirely until he lost his breath or froze to death.
"Finally!" Evil Jack crowed with pride, a wide smirk spread across his dull face. "It's done..." He heaved before glaring at the children who retreated back a few more steps. They were vulnerable, good as dead they thought. "Now... you kids."
The guardians were barely able to fight off cries of pain or fear, but they could see what was happening. They tried their hardest to suck up the pain and help the children but they could not. All they could do is stare in horror.
Somehow, the twins was able to muster the courage to say something to Evil Jack. Caleb and Claude. It was now or never. "Come on, Jack! It's me, Caleb and my bro Claude? Ya know, the dudes who you helped find Easter eggs last year? Wasn't that fun?" His friends nodded, Caleb and Claude urged them to join him.
Evil Jack was taken aback. His staff still aimed at the children.
Pippa bounced on her toes. "Yeah! Oh, and remember the time we went sledding! Jack, you made the coolest course ever! Literally!" Pippa and her friends giggled at her lame brain joke. But the stress was lightening.
Evil Jack blinked. His grip loosened on his staff.
Cupcake boldly opened her mouth, "Don't you remember that epic battle against Pitch, Jack? You were the hero! You saved the whole world from the return of the Dark Ages! And you were damn proud of it! Come on, where's that Jack we love!?"
Evil Jack had his eyes on the beaming children and his menacing stance started to loosen up a bit.
The guardians smiled, the children were getting somewhere.
Monty came forth, mustering all his bravery and courage. No time to be a coward right now! "Uh-huh, what they said! A-and on Christmas! Jack, you remember? Y-you made it snow when I opened one of my presents! Ha ha... that was funny! My parents went ballistic!" Monty stuttered, getting better later in his speech.
All of a sudden, Evil Jack lowered his staff. The guardians gasped with delight and the children had smiles of glee spreading from ear to ear.
Jamie then took it from there. Jack was going to come back, he was sure of it... but he couldn't get ahead of himself. "Jack? It's me, Jamie Bennett. I just want to say that, you are the greatest person I know. Your the best guardian ever! You made me believe when I had lost faith, and that's something special!" Jamie said with eyes full of wonder, he remembered that night as if it was yesterday.
Evil Jack was now staring at the ten year old boy expressionless.
"And uh... I know you hate the world right now. You were neglected for 300 years but... your not alone anymore. I'm sorry for saying those mean things to you." Jamie bowed down his head. He then raised it again with tears in his eyes. "I just want you back!"
Jamie cried. He couldn't help himself. He lunged himself at Jack and gave him a hug, wrapping his arms around Jack's waist like there was no tomorrow. Like he did that once when Jack had taken the oath and became a guardian.
"I just want you back... I love you." Jamie whimpered out the last part of the sentence, salty tears falling down his cheek, stinging his scar. He didn't care if hugging Jack was the last thing he did before he froze to death.
Jamie's friends ran up to Jack and joined the hug. They weren't afraid of him. But they were bravely waiting to see what Evil Jack would do to them. The guardians just watched in awe as the children worked their magic. They wanted to warn them and tell them to back away from the evil boy but it was a touching moment and something more was happening...
Jamie felt Jack lower himself. This is it. Jamie sadly thought. This is how I die... He sniffed. Goodbye... He squeezed Jack tighter and clamped his eyes shut even harder. Here it goes...
