Okay okay... HERE, it is. THIS, is it. Truthfully. The ultimatum is here! Yea, um... sorry about that cliffhanger!X) he he. But anyhoo, enough of my rambling! Start reading!

Previously:

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...

But what Jamie felt... was not pain, sadness or any sort of feeling of death. Jamie felt... warm, love. Jamie made a glimpse at Evil Jack and saw him... hugging him back.

"Jamie!?"

Everyone looked up including the guardians. The children gasped with relief, the guardians sighed and leaned back with pleasure. And Jamie kept on hugging Jack. Jack Frost has returned.

"I knew it! I knew you'd come back!" Jamie said, his eyes so tight that his eyes were watering.

The guardians looked and laughed as heartily as they could. They felt tears of joy spring to their eyes.

Jack was also crying. He was... back. Jack's hair was now a snow white, his skin fair, his sweatshirt a royal blue with frost patters decorated and sprinkled on the shoulders and his eyes were back to a crystal blue. Jack felt full, real, happy and alive.

"Oh my god!" Jack exclaimed, his voice echoing through the lair with spirit. He swooped up Jamie and twirled him around before hugging him and his friends once more. "I-I can't believe you did it!" Jack brushed one of his hands on Jamie's cheek that had the scar. Jack inspected the scar with concern. "Thank you, Jamie." He said warmly. "I'm sorry... about the c-cut." He stuttered, recalling the fear and pain he had experienced.

Jamie sobbed, "Me too."

"Your one special and fantastic kid... and so are your friends!" The winter teenager whooped as all the kids released his with smiles.

"Where are the others?" Jack asked.

The kids immediately stopped giggling as their faces turned solemn and expressionless. Jack saw this.

"What is it?" The Winter Spirit asked a little more worried.

Jamie looked up at the Guardian of Fun as he nudged his head in the other direction where the wounded guardians laid crumpled and wounded on the ground but with happy spirits for their friend was back.

Ever since Jack had returned, the torturing process to the guardians, Sandy and Bunny, had vanished. But Bunny was still shivering like no end even though he could feel his bones stop falling to bits. Sandy was down to the bitter cold till his face turned a faint blue and the ice sculpture had stopped to his neck, whew! Tooth was unconscious due to blood loss. North was moaning, making sure not to budge the least bit. But the guardians were happy in spirit though.

Jack's heart leapt to his throat as everything seemed to stop for a moment. The faint wind ran through his bangs as it whipped in front of his glassy bloodshot eyes. Jack had never seen so much pain and blood... he ran over to his friends without a moments hesitation after gathering his senses. He ran over to Tooth first and propped her up in his arm.

"H-hey, Tooth!? N-no no no... hey... Tooth? Wake up! Please! Tooth!?" Jack cried as tears started to fall (lot's of tears) onto Tooth's gorgeous vibrant rainbow colored feathers.

I did this... Jack thought. He then looked at his beloved fairy, horror spreading throughout every vain, nerve, muscle in his body. He had never seen so much blood in his life!

"Ugh..." A moan came from Tooth.

Jack let out a heave as he gently yet swiftly and tightly brought Tooth in for a hug. "Y-your wings!? Your arm and leg! Oh my-" Jack looked at Tooth straight in the face with tears streaming out of his eyes like a waterfall. "I did this... I'm s-sorry Tooth!" He choked.

All Tooth could do was give a faint smile before drifting off.

"Tooth!? Don't you shut your eyes on me! Wake up! Tooth!?" Jack cried shaking her. He then looked up at the rest of the guardians.

Jack quickly sprung up and ran over to the shaking Pooka. "W-what did I do!?" He bawled.

Bunny shuddered and turned to Jack, "Frozen... bones... thawing... disintegrating..." Bunny managed to say.

Jack knew this had to be his doing. But he couldn't help the freezing kangaroo. All he could do was... keep him cold. "Hang in there, kangaroo." Not caring about the nickname.

Jack slid over to North. Jack was going insane. What had he done?

"Bones... cracked... rib... at heart..." North coughed out.

All Jack could hear was his own heartbeat and panicked breaths, everything else was muffled. He jogged over to Sandy. Even though he wasn't tired, Jack felt his muscles fail him as if they were buzzed and his vision was going cockeyed.

"H-hey Sandy?" Jack asked, looking up at the little golden man that was encased in a large chamber of ice.

Sandy gave back a warmhearted yet strained smile at the teenager. Sandy knew that Jack could not help him but at least Jack was back!

Jack, on the other hand, was stressing out like crazy. His jaw ached from clenching it from trying not to sob and wail. His eyes burned, he wanted to cry some more even though it was pointless but he had run out of tears. Right now his priority was to get the guardians healed, now. He'll worry about the kids and himself later.

Jack had to get a hold of the yetis, they would know what to do. Jack had to get his hands on a snow globe. Great. Inside North's coat. This is gonna hurt. Jack kneeled next to the big man and delicately yet rapidly searched his large coat for a snow globe, his blue eyes darting about, caring not to get near his ribs. Finally he found one had smashed it on the ground. Jack rounded up the kids who were watching Jack silently and shoved them through the portal, jumping in after them.

Phil was in charge of North's palace while he was away. It was a duty that Phil rarely got to do. He was proudly striding around, checking on his fellow yetis and elves when a glittering portal opened before him. He saluted ready to greet his his master home but instead came in the children, Phil chuckled and roared in delight.

The children hugged Phil and were tugging him towards the portal. The were all talking and shouting at once that Phil did not precisely know what they were saying. He wasn't very keen on English. He thought the children wanted to go play so he willingly followed behind them to the portal... before being knocked down by Jack Frost.

Phil had heard what had happened to the Winter Spirit and jumped for joy to see the teenager had returned to his original self. But what troubled him was the stressed and sad look in Jack's eyes.

"Phil! No time to explain! Grab a few more yetis! Come this instant!" Jack ordered sharply. Phil sprung into action. "Jamie, you and your friends stay right here for a second!" Jack demanded before hopping right back through the portal with a few yetis including Phil at his heels.

Pitch decided to check on his apprentice. He started to make his way to the room where the duel took place in high hopes to find the guardians dead and the children absent with the boy sopping in his opponents blood.

But when Pitch arrived, his yellow eyes beamed with anger. He did not see dead guardians, nor his rightful apprentice. He saw yetis rescuing the guardians who did take damage (but not dead), and Jack Frost. The yetis had all the guardians and went through the portal.

"NO!" Pitch roared. He struck the portal with nightmare sand and it vanished... leaving powerless Jack Frost with him.

Okay. Please I really need to talk. So, in the middle of writing this, I cam across a Tumblr story about RotG where Pitch does something to Jack. It's called Dark and Cold by NightmareHound. This story kinda made me a bit... I dunno... ticked and woozy...? I didn't get it. Something about that story made me really distraught. I don't know why. And from reading that... I think that's why I ended this chapter the way I did.

I would really love if someone explained this Tumblr story to me. I kinda got obsessed with it and the way Tumblr works is just... confusing... I can't seem to find all of the parts to the story. So if someone out there has read it can you PLEASE tell me what exactly happened to Jack?

But yea... i'm kinda in a pickle on what to do with Pitch and Jack right now and reading that story has clouded my mind with awful ideas. This story is going in the wrong direction! I shouldn't have read that but I did and now i'm lost... so can someone tell me what that story means and maybe I can focus better on this story?

I know big favor but itll help me tremendously. Thanks
