A/N: What's this? Two new chapters in one day? Surprise! I probably won't be able to make any posts for a while after this, so here's a little something extra. Enjoy!
I do not own ROTG, just my OC
Jack Frost flew as quickly as he could to Santoff Claussen, although it didn't seem to be fast enough even with the winds helping him. This was the third time in three months that North set off the Northern Lights, alerting the other Guardians that there was trouble and they all needed to meet. Let's just hope we have something and it's not a false alarm…again!
By the time he arrived, he saw that nothing changed since the last time they met up: North and Bunny were arguing over whose holiday was more important, Tooth was yelling out orders to the handful of baby tooth fairies that followed her from her tooth palace in Asia, and Sandy—who apparently arrived not too long before Jack—rolled his eyes along with the winter spirit at the sight before them.
"Um, guys?" Jack yelled, bringing the other Guardians back to focus. Directing his attention to North, he asked, "What brings us here this time?"
North clapped his hands together and boomed, "Ah, yes! Whole group is here, good! Now we can put aside Christmas is more important debate for real reason why we gather today."
"Oi, mate!" Bunny interjected. "If you bring up one more time that rubbish or we find out we all came here for nothing—again—I swear I'm gonna kick that bloody globe of yours all the way across the arctic and into the Philippines!"
"Ha! As if I keep enjoying spending time not checking list or crafting new toys for good boys and girls," North bellowed in reply. He marched over to the end of the globe room and directed his hand toward the tallest window in the room, arguably the entire castle, pointing in the direction of where the moon is. "But Man in Moon insists we all be together, standby or no. So on standby together is what we'll be!"
"On 'standby,' North?" Bunny yelled in frustration. Though all the other spirits were admittedly just as frustrated, Bunnymund was the quickest to voice them…and also probably the least calm about vocalizing his grievances. "If MiM were to tell us to be 'on standby' like this mere days before—"
Before he had the chance to finish, the moon shone twice as bright before them, diverting everyone's attention toward the window. North gave Bunny a knowing look before he said, "Ahh, Man in Moon! What news do you bring us tonight?"
A moonbeam made its way through the window, hitting the ground the Guardians circled around. A shadowy symbol appeared in the center of it, one that Jack didn't recognize. Although by the white sheets that Toothiana's and North's faces became, he sensed he was about to find out. After what felt like an eternity of silence, Bunny piped up and muttered, "Mates, we might have a problem."
