The Guardians were confused and upset, still with no sign of either Jack or Pitch. They had even managed to find Pitch's lair and free the tooth fairies, but Pitch had not been there at all. As they sat around in North's workshop, they were wondering if any of their searches would eventually find the boy. "North, you know that he is gone. I don't think that he is coming back anytime soon." Tooth said softly, feeling upset herself about it. She felt like Jack had taken out Pitch, but in doing so had taken himself out as well. As hard as it was to accept, she couldn't think of any other reason for both of them to be gone for this long.
"I still think things are better off without him. Look at the globe if you want proof, mate. Belief is back, stronger than before this whole mess, and Jack didn't have anything to do with it." Bunny argued, glaring at the others. North sighed, knowing that Bunny would never understand. He had never gotten along with the winter spirit, especially not after that blizzard during one of his easter hunts. North never understood why Bunny got so worked up over Easter, but he knew it was pointless to argue.
"Jack needs us, that is why we must find him. Pitch may be gone, but Jack is still Guardian, whether he has agreed or not." North argued, knowing that the boy had been chosen.
"Did you ever think that Manny might be wrong? The kid abandoned us when we needed him the most! He let Pitch destroy my eggs!" Bunny yelled, standing up and getting ready to leave. He wasn't going to sit here and let North criticize him, not when things were going so well.
North shook his head at Bunny, holding his hands out and trying to calm him down. "Bunny, all is not lost. Why not take a ride in the sleigh to calm down?" he suggested with a smile, only annoying the Guardian further.
"You know I hate the sleigh, North. Don't even joke about something like that!" Bunny complained, huffing and pacing around the room.
"Bunny, North, we all need to calm down. Without Sandy, we need Jack if we want to even stand a chance against Pitch." Tooth argued, staring at both of them in concern.
As if he heard her words, golden sand began to form in the center of the table they were surrounding. "It can't be!" North exclaimed, recognizing Sandy's work.
"He's back!" Tooth cried, watching as the Sandman appeared in front of all of them. He smiled at them, bowing slightly with a smile on his face. Tooth flew forward, hugging the Guardian and feeling relief as she saw he was okay.
"Sandy, how is this even possible?" North asked, not understanding what had happened. He had been absorbed by the nightmares, made a part of Pitch's army.
Sandy shrugged, looking confused like the rest of them. "You don't know? How on earth do you not know, mate? You were the one that appeared in a burst of gold sand." Bunny complained, still upset over their conversation from earlier.
"Bunny, that is not important. We must find Jack and reunite all Guardians. It is what Manny would want." North argued, getting a nod from Tooth and a confused frown from Sandy.
"Ah yes, Jack flew off after fight with Bunny. He has not been seen since." North explained, making Sandy nod. He created an image of Jamie over his head, thinking maybe he was recovering with his old friend, even if the kid didn't believe.
"We already tried that, and all of the other towns he visits regularly. No one has seen him or Pitch." Tooth said softly. Sandy frowned, shrugging and creating an image of the sleigh above his head, out of ideas if the others couldn't find him either.
"Ha! I told you it was good idea. We take sleigh and search for Jack from the skies!" North said joyfully, getting up and moving towards the sleigh already.
"Great, another sleigh ride. At least Frostbite isn't here to pester me about it." Bunny complained, watching the others climb inside. He followed them afterwords, glaring as they took off and clutching the sides of the sleigh. He would never get used to flying , that was for sure. As they flew through the skies, the Guardians began to search for the winter spirit no matter where they were. Eventually, they would find him and bring him home.
