I've written three of the five, or six, chapters already. So I'll hopefully get this done this week. Hopefully.
Bunny: Someone say hope?
Me: Oh hush. I'm talking to the reader.
Jack: Technically, you're writing to the reader, and they're...you know, reading it.
Me: I just can't win.
Frost was confused. He woke up to see a man dressed in a black dress, a large Russian-version of Santa Claus, a golden man, a giant kangaroo, and a..hybrid of hummingbird and peacock?
So he did what he thought was best. Make them realize who exactly they were dealing with. He now lay next to an ocean in Antarctica, thinking about his next move.
"How to take over the world…," Frost thought as he got up and walked over the water, freezing it with is every step.
"What about, no that's already been done. How about, no that won't work. This is trickier than I thought," Frost muttered as he sat down on an iceberg. "Wait a second."
Frost concentrated before thrusting his hands out, power surging through him like electricity, and effectively froze the entire ocean.
"This is going to be fun."
"I've already told you: I don't know!" Pitch yelled, rubbing his forehead in annoyance. The pesky Guardians kept asking if he knew what had caused it. If he had, he would have undone it. Jack wasn't going to steal his thunder and take over the world. Oh no. That was an undertaking for Pitch and Pitch alone.
"Leave 'im be. We gotta figure out how to find Jack," Bunny put his paw on North's shoulder and made him walk away from their enemy/temporary ally.
"I do not understand. Last night, he was fine. Then this morning he complained about being ill and locked himself in his room," North thought about it for a moment. How could his son, Guardian of Fun and protector of children, turn evil overnight?
"OH! What about that strange bug that bit Jack yesterday? The one we never found?" Tooth exclaimed. Pitch slapped his forehead. Why didn't that silly fairy say that hours ago?
"It must have been a Dark Widow. An early creation of mine meant to...well, what they were meant for doesn't matter. Point is, I thought I had destroyed all of them but I suppose one escaped," Pitch rubbed his chin. He hadn't a clue how it had gotten away. But he knew it wouldn't be as easy as finding the Winter Spirit and handing him his staff.
'What must we do?' Sandy signed. Pitch sighed before making a map appear.
"We must find the antidote, a special elixir. I made it, but ran out centuries ago. We must make another one using the following ingredients: dragon's breath, the shedded skin of a newt, golden elderberries, and….a tear from Earth's creator. I can get the berries and have King Midas turn them into gold. But that will take a couple days just to get him to talk to me."
"Well, I can go to the Isle of the Dragons for the dragon's breath," Tooth volunteered. Pitch was confused for a second before remembering that Toothiana was a Queen. A warrior. She'd dealt with far worse. Sandy raised his arms to get everyone's attention before making an image of a newt appear.
"Good, Sandy. Yes, you shall get the sheddings. I will get the tears from Mother Nature," Pitch winced as North said her name. "Bunny, you will help Pitch."
"What? Ya can't be serious, mate!" Bunny protested. He didn't want to be paired up with their worst enemy. But if it was for Jackie…..well, he supposed he could put up with the prissy spirit for a day or two.
"Come along, rabbit. We have work to do."
Manny watched in silence as each Guardian and Pitch set off. He hoped he had done the right thing. Sending a Dark Widow to bite Jack hadn't been a part of the plan, but the fiasco with Easter hadn't gone as planned. Manny wanted the Guardians to learn to get along with Pitch, not fight with him.
This was the last attempt, Manny promised himself. If they still remained enemies, so be it.
AN: Plot twist. Kitkat Out!
