Hi everyone, SkatingDJ and welcoming you to an awesome chapter!:D Sorry I haven't updated in a while, putting a lot of effort into school (which is paying off!) and have a lot on my mind with all these stories! But this chapter is going to be awesome! An epic battle is going to take place! And that's just one epic battle out of more to come! But anyways, thank you all for your support, you guys are amazing:) But is it possible for you to take a peek at my other new stories? "Unafraid" A Hunger Games AU starring Elsa as Katniss etc, and "The Trial"My very first Big Hero 6 fanfic!XD (awesome movie btw) so i'td be awesome if you could check those out;)

But anyways, enough of my rambling, an epic chapter awaits! (It's long! And more Marvel references! -Guardians of the Galaxy-)

Warning: Language & violence/blood

Ugh. I feel awful. I said to myself as I sat up, rubbing my head, shocked to feel a huge bruise there. I wearily sat up and tried to shake away my grogginess. The room I was in was black. Where was I? I recalled what happened before I was knocked out (was I knocked out?)... oh. My features dampened as I tried to find my staff in the darkness. I eventually and surprisingly found it, waiting for them to pop out from anywhere.

"Hey!" I called out, when I got impatient. "What's the idea!" I called into the darkness.

The response I got was a chorus of cackles and giggles. Lovely. Just then, lights flickered on from above that turned out to be torches. I looked around wildly; I was in the center of a huge granite cave. Huge! You could easily fit a dragon in here. The cave was decorated with emerald crystals everywhere. What's the big idea?

I heard more cackles and giggles as my head snapped to the source above. Surely enough, it was Red, Glimmer, and Flora... but that wasn't all. With the Terrible Trio, came the rest. There, behind them, was an army of other spirits. Johnny Appleseed, Aisling, the Groundhog, the Leprechaun, Neptune (King of the Sea), Peter Pan, Anubis (a dog like man who dwelled around in hell), Wisp (the girl of the wind), Ash (a man of ash), Jade (a Chinese dragon), Harvest (a hybrid man-bird -he had wings- that resembled Thanksgiving), and Light (a small girl that looked like a candlelight, she resembled Hanukkah). And even more that I could really care less to mention!

My mouth hung open. There was no way I could defeat all of them! Heck, some of the gods were hear. I was just about ready for Satin or Zuess to drop by, or even a troll or elf kill me off.

"Oh!" Red said with glee as he began to approach me. "How I've waited for this moment!"

Gotta stay brave, Frost. I said to myself and sucked it up. "The Guardians will come and kick your asses!" I said defiantly.

Red rolled his eyes at me and scowled. "You think so?" He sneered.

I gulped. I knew it wasn't true, and I think that he knew too, but I had to act brave. "I know so!" I replied. Good enough.

Red burst out laughing as the rest of the spirits joined in as well.

"That won't be happening, Frost!" Red declared.

My stomach lurched. I had a bad feeling about that. "Why's that?" I snapped back.

Red chuckled darkly as his pumpkin head smiled menacingly (more than before at least, if that was possible). Red then pointed to Glimmer and Light. Glimmer fired a fireball at the dark ceiling, Light raised her arms as Glimmer's fireball grew brighter as I was now able to see. The fireball Glimmer ignited rested upon a chandelier- no, it wasn't a chandelier, but there was something hanging from the ceiling by a chain... my eyes trailed down to the pendant of the chain.

It was a cage!

And who was inside the cage? (Let alone someone was in it to begin with)

The Guardians!

"Guys?" I gasped and called out in horror. I furrowed my eyebrows and gritted my teeth with rage. They would be okay, they'll bust out of there! "They'll bust out of there and will kick your asses once they do!" I shrieked at the spirits.

Red chuckled darkly. "They can't. That cage is slowly draining their power... and besides, they won't be able to help you anyways. Spirits are more powerful than the world knows. And you know it too, Jack!"

"Why are you doing this?" I wailed desperately at them.

"Say it, Red." Flora demanded.

Red nodded and approached me as I puffed my chest, trying to look stout.

"Well," Red began and looked back at the other spirits, "we are not happy that Man In Moon chose you as a Guardian." Red then threw his hands up in frustration. "Why?" He snarled, "You have no right to be so high profiled! Why you? You murder children! Why would you be a Guardian? Why not us?"

Sadness stabbed me in the heart as it was mixed with the sour words that made it sting like lemon on a wound. I blinked and willed away tears that I felt coming on. I wondered what the Guardians thought. "So you're jealous?" A sneered, trying to pull off my fun facade.

That's when Red punched me. My head snapped to the side as my left cheek blossomed with a numb, yet pulsing and painful blast. I heard a cry of horror and shock from Tooth up above.

"Why not one of us? We deserve it far more than you! We actually bring joy to kids, not freeze and kill them to death! We despise the fact that you're a Guardian. You don't belong." Red scowled smugly.

"You son of a bitch, I'll freaking destroy you if you even think about touching him-" Bunny roared as he rattled the cage up above.

I prayed that the Kangaroo would keep his big mouth shut. I didn't want him to get hurt on my account. And besides, why would he care? I was confused, but more importantly at the moment, hurt. "Kangaroo, shut it." I barked. "He's right. I don't belong. I kill kids. But you should know that I didn't ask to become a Guardian, I didn't want to become a Guardian. It's not my intention to kill kids either!" I screamed back, tears unwillingly flying out of my eyes.

"Well, it's good to hear that, Jack." Red said formerly as a smirk came to his pumpkin head face as he straightened his posture.

"Why's that?" I snarled back.

"You don't want to be a Guardian? You don't want to be a killer? We can fix that... by ending you!" Red turned to the rest of the spirits, "Let's go!"

All the spirits came flying down and running towards me, hell-bent on destroying me. I wanted to run, go back home and forget what just happened in these past few hours. But I had to fight. But I couldn't fight all of them! This was surely my demise. Well, obviously. But the Guardians... I had to fight for them. No matter what they thought of me. I had to stay strong and get them safe. I'd fight for them, or die trying. No, I would die for the Guardians since I wasn't going to survive this. Oh well, here we go!

Peter Pan came up first.

"Why, Peter?" I asked mournfully. I never knew Peter, but I heard he was fun and mischievous, like me. I always wanted to meet him. On rare occasions, I would meet Peter's fairy's friend, Periwinkle. She controlled ice and snow too. I thought it would be cool to meet Peter and explore Neverland with him. Guess that wasn't going to happen!

"I'm just like you, fun and mischievous and innocent... and I don't kill kids! I don't kill anybody as a matter of fact... so why you? Why not me?" Peter spiraled around me as he wielded his dagger.

There was one teensy, weensy, eensy problem to this... everyone was trying to kill me, but how do I not kill them? They're trying to kill me! I have to defend myself! But how? How do I do that without hurting them or even killing them? That would only prove them right! This was a total loose to loose situation, and I wasn't all that good with knocking people out. They'd come to their senses anyways and continue fighting. This is how I die. Great to know, but I hope in the end they gave me a sweet and sick viking ceremony...

I snapped out of my daydreaming when a dagger almost sliced my face in two. Peter kept jumping while flying (if that was possible) around and trying to give me a good nick with his blade, it was impressive. I soared into the air after him while dodging other attacks from other spirits.

It took one ice blast to take Peter down. I honestly felt quite good about myself, cause that was easy! Maybe this wasn't gonna be too hard after all! Maybe I did have a shot! (No pun intended.)

I landed back down on the ground and thought I was able to sort things out for just a brief moment. Wrong! The ground rumbled as a tunnel came bounding towards me. The ground exploded beneath me as the Groundhog came bursting out. I was thrown into the air along with the rodent who grabbed me (he was large and strong) and pummeled me back into the ground where he roughly traveled me through the tunnels and popped out at another end. He let me go as I fell to the ground with a crash.

I got up the best I could, the fall winded me and for the past thirty seconds I had been breathing in dirt. But luckily I was on my feet and ready for another attack. Remember, I had dealt with worse! I expected the Groundhog (still airborne) to come pummeling down on me again so I timed my attack just right. Just when the Groundhog was about to grab me with his pudgy hands, I threw my staff up, creating a column of ice from the ground which smacked him in the face and sent him flying far away into a emerald wall, he even snagged the Leprechaun! Double points! What would the Leprechaun have done to me anyways?

That's when some slimy drool from above licked my jaw and shoulder. I grimaced in disgust and gagged. "Yuck!" I garbled out as I ran my fingers through the slimy substance. Disgusting!I slowly looked up to find the source of the slime and saw two red eyes glaring down on my.

The eyes jumped down to reveal it's body. A dog head but the body of a man. Anubis. Anubis growled as he plunged after me from above. I shrieked and ran out of the way. Anubis came crashing down, landing on the ground as emerald shards and dust flew everywhere, succumbing us both to a blinding dust veil. I really never dealt with stuff like this, I could see through ice storms, but not dust storms! That's why I didn't see Anubis jump at me from nowhere and plant his teeth into my left shoulder.

I let out a cry of anguish as I tried to get the beast off of me, but the more I squirmed, the deeper his teeth sank into my shoulder. After calming down, I threw my head back at Anubis which hit him in the jaw as he toppled to the side. I then kneed him in the stomach as he whimpered like a wounded dog before I sent him away (along with the dust) with a powerful gust of snow. I tried to ignore the numb yet burning sensation on my left shoulder that was oozing out blood.

I couldn't help but notice a ticklish sensation in the wind that was surrounding me. I fell to my knees as suddenly the air around me vanished and I began to suffocate. My eyes caught a girl's smirking face in the wind, Wisp. But my eyes didn't catch a bucket of ash being dumped on me from above, Ash. I was consumed in a cloud of ash as I struggled to break free from Ash's grip. I clutched my throat, desperate for air, I was loosing it fast. I couldn't see a thing. But all I could hear was the grinding laughter of Ash himself.

My lungs burned as my muscles screamed for air. The de-ja-vu of drowning flashed before my eyes. How I wished I could drown Ash or freeze his ass or- freeze! I wasn't sure if it was going to work, it may have not seemed a big deal, but it was a matter of life or death. With my last breath, I used all my power to freeze the ash around me which turned into a large block of ice.

Ash's grinding cries of pain ceased as I felt him stop moving once he became iced entirely. I felt myself falling before crashing into the ground. Ash was now dozens of ice shards that was cutting into my skin. Ouch. Don't worry, he wasn't dead. The ice would melt and Ash's ashes would regenerate once more.

I just laid on the ground, trying to catch my breath as I gagged ash here and there when a huge wave crashed down on me from above. I saw the face of a man out of the water in the distance followed by a ginormous tidal wave. I just had enough time to jump when the water came rushing down. I landed on the sea as it slowly began to turn into ice and turning Neptune into ice himself... his mistake. This was me turning the sea into my bitch! And I'm loving every second of it! Dude, I was surfing on a sea turning into ice! Okay, maybe I had some decent cuts and bruises here and there and was actually starting to get tired but I was doing pretty good!

I caught sight of Wisp in the distance who herself was trying to dodge the violent waves. I caught her off guard when I surfed near her and tossed her into the freezing sea, trapping her inside the ice. She was wind, she didn't need to breath. She was fine.

The sea finally shattered once it was completely iced as I landed on the floor, dozens of shards of ice surrounding me. Now it was Harvest, Light, Johnny, Aisling, Jade, and the Terrible Trio. As far as I knew, these guys were going to be hard to take out.

Suddenly, something blasted me from behind as I was sent flying forwards, crashing into an emerald as my back scorched a hot black. I wearily opened my eyes to see a flame dancing around in the distance before it disappeared and reappeared behind me. Light; she was as quick as, well, light, and could shoot powerful and painful light beams. Brilliant.

I got up as I felt that my back seriously needed something. My vision was also blurry as my adrenaline began to die down. My eyes widened as I saw a large dragon headed my way. I didn't dodge as the large creature rammed into me and buried it's fangs into my leg. Jade. Jade then spiraled upwards and crashed me into the ceiling before plowing me down into the ground. She then left, leaving me lifeless.

Ouch. My vision was blackening, my leg and shoulder was oozing blood, I was burned, and I was growing tired. But I wasn't done yet! The beginning was child's play, and they knew that, now it was time to get serious! I had to remember that the Guardians were watching, I had to put on a show!

I slowly pressed myself off of the ground, got up and wielded my staff, waiting for one of the girls to attack.

Light may be able to teleport and or go at the speed of light, but that didn't mean she was silent or smart by any means. If I could just find her before she attacked after she traveled, that was her weak spot where I could get her. I focused and strained my ears to listen...

Sure enough, I heard the familiar sizzle and flare of a flame ignite. I followed my ears and sent a blast of ice straight at the target. I did it so quick, I didn't even look to see what I was hitting; just by listening. By the time I turned around to see if I actually hit Light, she was on the ground out cold. I smiled to myself, this was the real me, the one that could kick anyone's ass! Everyone went silent for a split second and stared at me in shock. Oh yeah, it was on!

Jade, a baffled dragon, roared and flew after me in a fit of rage.

Come at me, bitch! I said to myself and motioned her to approach me if she dared. She dared alright. I soared into the air last moment and began to fly at top speeds, making sharp turns here and there. Being a hulking dragon, it wasn't easy for Jade to keep up, let along follow me. She stupidly realized that she twisted herself into the most obscure way possible. That's when I donked her on the head with an ice hammer. She fell to the ground as waves of green emeralds and dust flew into the air.

I didn't have time to rest, though. Harvest came charging at me. He deflected and guarded my ice and physical attacks with his wings as I dodged all of the lashes from his large brown wings (his feathers were sharp and could make a good arrow -he also had a bow). But one sharp feather managed to slice my hip which vibrated a pulsing pain. I stumbled back as Harvest socked me in the jaw with an uppercut, throwing my head back. I gritted my teeth and grabbed his fist and yanked it to the ground where I kicked him in the face and in the gut. He was out. So much for the wings.

Then came Johnny Appleseed and Aisling (these guys don't gimme a break). Aisling turned into a wolf; so did I. We both ran into each other and clashed about here and there, trying to gain purchase for dominance over who was stronger. I gnarled in her face as I tried to tumble out of her grasp. She managed to grab a hold on one of my limbs before finally shaking her head wildly side to side. Blood flying out as I whimpered and whined. She tossed me aside as my white fur was drenched in blood. I limped up and scurried away as she began to give chase.

I couldn't help but spot Johnny up on a ledge with a bow and arrow ready to fire at me. I had to keep moving! Soon, an amo of arrows shot at me and I had no choice but to leap into the air, turning back to human form. I twirled and spiraled about in the air, my eyes always landing on the Guardians shocked and worried glances.

I looked into their shock-bored eyes one to many times as an arrow pinned itself on my side as I came crashing down to the ground. My blurry vision also saw Aisling manage to push off a huge emerald off a cliff and send it crumbling down towards me. I waited for the impact and braced myself- creating an ice bubble for protection.

The emerald crashed down on me as my bubble shattered, I couldn't make one strong enough. My strength at this point was limited. But it did save my life from the major parts of the large jewel. I laid there, lifeless, trying to catch my breath in the shimmering green room before I found the strength to continue fighting. I was surprised that I was still going at this point, but when your fighting, it's all muscle memory, there's no time to think about what you're doing.

Once I broke out of the emerald, I was face to face with Johnny as we began to fight: He threw many punches but I easily dodged them. I did a broom-sweep but he jumped away (he's very athletic) and lunged himself at me, throwing his fists at my face. I fell back as his hands pinned themselves into the earth beside my face, leaving craters (and strong, yikes!). I slapped him across the face and popped up, grabbing my staff in the process. Johnny got up and took out his bow.

I threw a punch which went right through his bow, he smirked as my eyes widened, realizing my mistake. Shit, this was gonna hurt! Barely having enough time to brace myself, Harvest twisted his bow back, my arm in it as it snapped in two. I cried out and recoiled my broken arm as Johnny took the time to dig his hand into his pouch and pull out his trusty bomb seeds. He loaded them into a pistol that was from Harvest and shot them at me. I twirled my staff around like a baton, deflecting all the bombs as I approached him. Johnny fired when his amo ran out, he dropped the gun and looked at me in horror.

I was just about to knock him out when-

"No!" I was sent through the air to crash down on the ground, yards away. Aisling.

I growled in pain as I tried to stand up, but I kept collapsing down on my knees and elbows. I didn't look up as tears brimmed my eyes as I saw dust and my blood pool and settle around me. I huffed and heaved with exhaustion as a pounding migraine took a hold of my head and body. Blood loss also took its toll as well as dehydration, not to mention it was getting hot in here. I was dying.

A slow and painful death, evil and hungry eyes of spirits boring into me. At the mercy of Johnny Appleseed and Aisling. Oh how I wished I was having a snow day and having fun- … fun! I was the Guardian of joy and fun! Nothing brought me down! I could turn any dire situation into a joke! And this was the time! I pressed myself off the ground as a grin plastered on my face, even though it hurt.

"What's the matter, Frost? Watered down?" Johnny snickered, as Aisling giggled. 'Watered down' was what happened to me when I was on the verge of death during summer in the heat.

"Haha..." I breathed in a raspy voice, I could feel blood in the back of my throat. I just had to stall for a little bit as my ice patched up and healed my wounds before my grand attack which also needed some power. "Very funny, but you know what's funny?" I smiled brightly, "games!"

Johnny and Aisling's eyebrows raised as they puckered there lips. "What?" Aisling hissed under her breath.

"You see," I began, walking around nonchalantly. "You always make up these petty insults toward me, so now, I'm going to play a game where I make petty and pathetic insults towards you!" I knew it was rude and wrong, but I needed time and this had their attention. What? They're idiots, unlike moi!

I was about to open my mouth to say something when I realized... I didn't have any insults. What do I say?! I froze for a split second before the most absurd thing bubbled to my lips; "Let it go... let it go... can't hold it back any more..." Had to admit, that was embarrassing.

It was only a murmur at first, so the two were like: "What?" a look of utter confusion written on their faces.

I smirked and decided to sing it louder: "Let it go! Let it go! Turn away and slam the door!" I said as I bounced to the beat.

Aisling groaned and growled as she cringed and covered her ears, "Please god no... not this song!" She whined.

"What are you doing?" Johnny asked with the most disgust in his voice possible.

"I don't care! What they're going to say! Let the storm rage on..." I continued.

"What. Are. You. Doing?!" Johnny roared with disgust, his eyes slits.

I smirked and immediately stopped bouncing to the beat. Only a few seconds of time could make all the difference! "I'm distracting you ya turd blossom!" I shouted before slamming my staff into the ground; creating a huge snow storm that whirled around us. Of course, Johnny and Aisling couldn't see, but my eyes were like night vision goggles (in the night obviously). I saw everything crystal clear, even better actually.

I could totally see everything in the Guardians/Spirits point of view as their baffled and worried expressions were glued to the ice storm:

Jack: (chuckles)

Johnny & Aisling: "W-what the hell?! I can't see a thing! God damn you, f*cking Frost!"

Jack: "Well, ditto!"

Johnny: "Ow! Son of a-" (sound of a body falling)

Aisling: "Johnny?!"

~Silence~

Aisling: "Okay, whoever can see in this freaking storm: tell me what's going on!"

Jack: "Number one: Jack's gonna broom-sweep you-"

Aisling: (shrieks as the sound of someone falling happens)

Jack: "Now a roundhouse, uppercut, ice toss, snowman, snowball, snow fight, snow day, hand to hand, hammer fist, flash, side kick, and... oh dear..."

~Silence~ (storm clears) -Aisling beaten up in a funny way on the ground knocked out-

*CUT*

Now it was just the Terrible Trio and me.

"Impressive, but you know we still have the upper hand." Glimmer sneered as she showed off her Magneto gloves.

I forgot about those!

"You look out of it, Frost. Wanna give up?" Flora asked sarcastically. Even though giving up meant dying.

I felt awful. Even though I had just restored my power, it still hurt cause that storm took a lot out of me. But if I give up, I die. That wasn't an option, not for the Guardians behalf at least.

"I'm just warming-" I caught myself, "cooling up!"

"Well then..." Red spoke sinisterly, "let's begin."

Whew that was long! I hope you all liked it!:) Was it epic enough? Please review and make sure to check out my other stories! Part 2 of the battle shall commence in due time. Thanks, peace!
